Chapter 1067: Does koi bring blessing or disaster (19)
A woman wearing dark green coarse cloth clothes and trousers was walking in front with a backpack on her back, followed by a seven or eight-year-old girl in a peach pink dress.
"Yuerou, you have to go up the mountain. Your legs are just fine, why don't you use them more?"
The woman wearing dark green coarse cloth trousers, that is, Zi Hua, called Zhou Dafang "Aunt Fang": "I will go to the mountain to chop some bamboo. It won't be a problem if my legs walk slower."
Ever since the day she broke her leg, whenever they met again, Zhou Dafang always called her by her name instead of calling her Wenlu's wife according to the custom.
Zihua didn't care about the title, but it was much more pleasant to her ears when she was called by her name.
Zhou Dafang looked at Chen Caiyu who was following behind Zihua, and felt sorry for Song Yuerou in his heart.
Chen Caiyu is wearing a peach-pink tufted Xinluo skirt and a silver-jade beaded flower on her head. Her face is tender and white, as are her hands. I don't know, I thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
Woolen cloth.
Looking at Song Yuerou again, she is not as dark and thin as before, but she is far from the fair and tender skin she had when she first came. The rough skin on her hands has not fallen off at all.
Chen Caiyu's fine clothes were indispensably bought with Song Yuerou's dowry money.
It's new, Chen Caiyu is no longer looking at people through the slits of his eyelids with his head held high today.
Zhou Dafang tapped Chen Caiyu with his chin, "Why do I ask you to look after the child when I go up the mountain?"
In ordinary people, eight-year-olds are not treated as children, but they are able to look after children. Chen Caiyu is extraordinary.
Children from farm families start working for the family when they are three or four years old. When they are five or six years old, they have to cook, collect firewood, and do whatever they want.
Not to mention that Chen Caiyu had never worked, Zhou Dafang saw with his own eyes that Chen Caiyu did not want to walk when he was six years old, and even let Ma Cuifen carry him home.
She's so delicate that she has no appearance.
Can't you treat her like a child?
The Chen family really thought that Song Yuerou's legs were in good shape now, so they let her work, even go up the mountain to take care of the children.
The three members of Guidao's family had their legs broken and suffered retribution.
Juhua said, "Watch it by the way."
If you want, Zhou Dafang didn't say anything more. He just said, "If you need help, please tell Aunt Fang."
Under Zhou Dafang's angry eyes, Zihua thanked her and agreed.
Yuhua said that she looked at Chen Caiyu by the way and was telling the truth.
She is not at home all day now, so she doesn't need to worry about the rest of the Chen family, as they won't be able to do anything.
Chen Caiyu is not good, her ability is an uncertain factor.
Keeping it close by for observation can also save her a lot of energy.
Although Chen Caiyu was reincarnated and had no memory of her previous life, her abilities were slowly awakening and she could now sense whether others were more or less blessed.
Chen Caiyu still doesn't know that the blessing she senses is people's luck.
The original owner married Chen Wenlu, and Chen Caiyu had a hand in it.
Song Sheng chose Chen Wenlu as his son-in-law, and it was not a forced sale. He had asked Chen Wenlu for his opinion. If Chen Wenlu was not willing, the marriage would not have happened.
Chen Wenlu was not the only candidate Song Sheng was interested in.
Chen Wenlu believed that he would prosper in the future and looked down upon the daughter of a scholar. However, Song Sheng's promise to recommend him to study in Wu Juren's private school in the county and the generous dowry made Chen Wenlu reluctant to refuse even though he knew there was something fishy about it.
.
Chen Wenlu took Chen Caiyu to secretly visit the original owner. Chen Caiyu sensed that the original owner had great blessings, and she instinctively wanted to get close to the original owner and stay with him.
There is a ready-made way to make the original owner stay by her side. Chen Wenlu married the original owner.
Chen Wenlu was already coveting the conditions offered by Song Sheng. After hearing Chen Caiyu say that the original owner could bring him blessings, he agreed to marry the original owner.
When the original owner married into the Chen family, the happiest person was Chen Caiyu.
She does it out of instinct, knowing that lucky people are not doing well, so she will be fine.
She told the Chen family that if the original owner was very lucky, it would hinder Chen Wenlu. The worse the original owner was, the better Chen Wenlu would be.
This is very different from what the fortune teller said when Chen Wenlu was looking for someone to make his horoscope.
So the Chen family chastised the original owner even more fiercely. They didn't kill him all at once because Chen Caiyu said that only if the original owner was alive could Chen Wenlu be blessed.
Chen Erkui teased the original owner from time to time, which was all tacitly approved by the Chen family. With Chen Erkui's brains, who could hide what he did?
Recently, I want to kill the original owner. It is Chen Wenlu who wants to climb the high tree of Su Yushang.
After learning the inside story from Chen Caiyu, Juhua felt that she still had to decide whether the original owner was Song Sheng's biological daughter.
…
It was time to go up the mountain. While the two were talking, several more villagers came up. They saw Yuhua taking Chen Caiyu up the mountain, who was as fresh as Zhou Dafang. When they asked, Yuhua gave the same answer.
A small cry came out. Zihua looked at it and said, "Something happened." She turned around and ran away.
Fortunately, she was wearing pants, so she could move easily.
The Chu Dynasty was not very strict about women's control, and they did not require all women to wear skirts. Common women had to work, and many of them only wore trousers without a skirt.
Zhou Dafang was stunned and quickly reminded, "Hey, your legs..." These legs are just right enough to run?
Everyone else was stunned for a moment.
"Something happened, what happened? Who heard anything?"
"I didn't hear it. Let's go and have a look."
Zhou Dafang had already followed. When she saw that Zihua had run more than ten meters and disappeared around the corner, she picked up the hem of her skirt and pinned it to her waist to avoid knocking her down, and chased after her.
As soon as she turned the corner, she saw a thrilling scene. Two children were hanging on the branches. This tree grew on the edge of a cliff. Below the bodies of the two children was a cliff ditch dozens of meters deep. This would have to fall.
If we go down, the lives of the two children will be at risk.
One child's clothes were caught on a branch on his back, face down, and hanging on the branch without any limbs.
Another child was holding a branch with both hands, and his body was hanging off the cliff. His hands were obviously weak. They should be holding the branches. His hands slid down into a buckle shape, and he might lose his grip at any time and fall.
Zhou Dafang's heart was in his throat. He wanted to call for help but didn't dare to call for help, for fear of scaring the child again.
She was still about twenty meters away from the edge of the cliff where the tree was. She was afraid that it would be too late to go over to save people, and she was afraid that she would not be able to save them if she could go over in time.
The two children were more than an arm's length away from the edge of the cliff, and there was no way to reach out and fish them out.
The trunk of the tree is only as wide as the mouth of a bowl. Climbing over the tree might break the branches.
The two children also understood what kind of dangerous situation they were in and did not dare to cry or yell. The hanging child sobbed quietly.
"Ka." The branch, which was not very strong, could not bear the weight of the two children and broke again.
Zhou Dafang almost couldn't breathe.
Others also followed.
"Ah, it's a jade book and a big lock."
"Go and save people quickly."
"The mountain god bless you, the mountain god bless you."
