In winter, Baihe Village is covered in white everywhere.
"Mom, please go back quickly. It's snowing like this. Why do you have to follow me into the mountains?" The man who spoke was in his early twenties, Jiang Lei, the son of Lao Jiang's family.
Because he is the third among the brothers, everyone calls him Sanleizi.
The woman walking in front of him was his mother, Shen Su'e. She was wearing a shabby coat full of patches. She was forty-three years old and skinny.
She held a thick branch in her hand and said while trembling: "Last night, an old fairy gave me a dream, saying that I could find treasures in the mountains, so I must go into the mountains today. If I miss it, our Lao Jiang family will have a bad future." Poorer than a generation ago..."
"Mom, those dreams are all fake. Besides, the village has been promoting 'advocating science and opposing superstition' everywhere before. Why do you still believe this?"
"You think your mother is stupid! If the dream hadn't been engraved in my mind, would I have gone into the mountains and been frozen?" Shen Su'e said, blowing hot air on her frozen hands, "I have lived a lifetime, I’ve never had such a clear dream!”
Thinking that my mother must be getting older and her mind is getting confused, Sanleizi asked helplessly: "Did the immortal tell me where the treasure is buried?"
"He said I can hear it when I go into the mountain..."
Before Shen Su'e finished speaking, she heard a faint cry.
Deciding that it was the treasure that the immortal said, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she stepped on the thick snow and strode towards the direction of the sound.
"Oh, mother, please slow down, don't worry about falling..."
Sanleizi anxiously caught up with his mother and followed for about ten minutes. He saw a child who looked like a snowman sitting in the snow, his body already half buried.
"Ouch! What beast did this? What a crime!"
While scolding, Shen Su'e hurriedly brushed off the snow covering the child's head and face, and pulled her out of the snowdrift like a carrot.
The moment she saw Shen Su'e, the girl's big empty eyes gradually became brighter, and even the tears lingering in her eyes became more active.
No longer crying like before, she put her arms around Shen Su'e's neck, said "Mother" in a crisp voice, and then kissed her on the face.
For a moment, Shen Su'e felt that her heart was about to melt.
She had dreamed of having a daughter all her life, but she gave birth to five sons in succession. Later, she hoped that the sons would give her a granddaughter. As a result, the eldest daughter-in-law's first child was a child, and the second child was a child. Handle...
Now she has three grandchildren and no granddaughter.
"My dear, you are the treasure that the old immortal asked me to find in my dream, right?"
Not understanding what her mother meant, the little baby girl blinked her big, clear, elk-like eyes twice cutely, with a confused look on her face.
She was originally an ancient dragon egg picked up by Tiandao, named Lingbao. After breaking the shell, she practiced for a hundred years. However, she failed to survive the heavenly tribulation and could only survive the human tribulation in the human world.
Originally, the difficulty of her human tribulation was in hell mode. Not only did she travel to this poor era without enough food and clothing, but she also had to be a fool and be bullied all her life. Fortunately, her heavenly father cared about her and lowered the difficulty of her tribulation. , allowing her to regain her consciousness and her power as a dragon.
"Mother, I am not a good baby, I am a spiritual baby!"
The little guy had the habits of a dragon. When he regained consciousness, he saw Shen Su'e for the first time and recognized her as his biological mother.
"Mother, mother, Lingbao loves mother the most!"
Shen Su'e was called "Mother" one after another, and she couldn't restrain her joy. She smiled so hard that there were creases in her eyes, as if this baby was really her daughter. As for whether the fairy's dream was true or not, she had already Don't care anymore.
"Be good!" Her voice was infinitely loving and gentle. Mom will take the Lingbao home now. No one will be able to bully my Lingbao anymore!"
Sanleizi on the side was shocked by his mother's words, "Mom, you don't really want to take this child home, do you? Brother and the others won't agree..."
"What can you do if your elder brother doesn't agree? Do I need your approval if I want to raise a daughter?" Shen Su'e said angrily.
"Dad, he..."
"Your father also has to listen to me! Besides," Shen Su'e's lips raised, "Your father doesn't know how much he wants to have a daughter. When he sees me carrying a daughter back to him later, he will definitely be very happy. ”
Sanleizi knew his mother's character, which was strong and stubborn. He couldn't persuade her, so he had to escort her home first and wait until she got home safely.
On the way down the mountain, he asked: "Mom, why don't you let me hold you instead?"
"No need." Shen Su'e shook her head and hugged Lingbao tighter.
Her son worried: "It's difficult to walk in the snow. Your knees were hurting before. What if you fall while holding such a big baby?"
"This baby is warm and fragrant, I am happy to hold it." Shen Su'e said with a smile.
It was still dark, and the forest was dark. They had not walked long when they heard a strange sound, which seemed to come from the chest of some animal.
Sanleizi realized that there was danger and rushed to protect his mother.
He thought it was a wild dog, but what he didn't expect was that what appeared in front of him turned out to be a giant brown bear nearly three meters tall.
"What, what..." Sanleizi was frightened and at a loss.
His mother was also frightened. She had heard that there were blind bears in the mountains before, but they were all in the remote mountains. They didn't go deep at all. They were only three or four kilometers away from the village. How could they meet such a scary person? What a thing?
I heard that this blind bear can slap a person's head like a rotten watermelon with one palm. If you are lucky, your bones and flesh will be separated. If you are unlucky, you will die on the spot.
"Climb, climb the tree," Shen Su'e forced herself to calm down and said urgently to her son, "Don't be in a daze! Climb the tree quickly!"
Sanleizi wanted to climb the tree, but his legs didn't work. "My legs are weak..."
As he spoke, a low "ouch" sounded, which frightened him so much that he sat on the ground and couldn't even stand up, let alone climb a tree.
It's over, it's over, I have to die here today...
Sanleizi cried: "Mom, I haven't married a wife yet, wuwu..."
His mother held the little girl tightly in her arms and squatted on the ground with her body bent, as if she didn't want the bear to discover that she had a child in her arms.
"Mother..." Xiao Lingbao's voice was soft and waxy.
"Shh! Don't talk." Shen Su'e put her precious daughter on the ground and tried her best to cover her little body with the surrounding snow. "If we are beaten to death by a blind bear, you wait until it leaves before running away. .”
The brown bear ignored the Sanlei seeds that were shaking like a sieve. It smelled an extremely delicious smell, sweeter than the most delicious honey...
Walking up to Shen Su'e, it let out an excited cry, "Ouch——"
Shen Su'e closed her eyes tightly, thinking that since she had a daughter who called her "mother", she would have both children and a daughter in her life, and she would have nothing to regret.
"Mom, don't be afraid," said the little baby.
Emerging from the snowdrift where her mother had buried her, she stepped on the bear's paw without saying a word. She saw that the bear's paw was obviously dented, and she could clearly hear the sound of the metacarpal bones breaking.
The brown bear was in severe pain, and let out a painful "roar", leaning back with its huge body. There was only a loud "bang" sound, which crushed a big tree behind it.
The whole thing happened so fast that neither Shen Su'e nor San Leizi, mother and son, could react and were slightly stunned with their mouths open.
The little guy, less than one meter tall, puffed out his cheeks and said with a sweet and cute childish voice, "You bad guy actually dared to scare my mother. Lingbao will chop off all four of your claws and serve them as food and drinks for my mother." eat!"
