250 Old Madam Wang Reminds Liu Shi
When the other neighbors saw the commotion in Old man Wang’s house, they all came to ask what was going on.
When they found out that Little Ah Yu had fainted and was saved by the witch doctor, they all thanked the witch doctor repeatedly.
In fact, Grandma Wen, who was next door, even said, “The child must have been frightened outside. Get her another safety talisman to calm down.”
Otherwise, she might have nightmares at night.
The witch doctor smiled until her face wrinkled. “I have several Peace Blessing talismans here. It’s 30 coins each.”
This was not too expensive. Compared to the money paid to the temple, it was not worth mentioning.
When Liu Shi went to donate money for the incense oil, she had donated 50 coins.
Everyone thought that this witch doctor was really capable and the safety talismans she sold were also useful, so they bought a few from her.
The witch doctor’s mood thus became even better.
Old man Wang’s family wanted to keep her for dinner, but the witch doctor waved her hand. “It’s fine. I still have to go to two more houses, so I won’t disturb you.”
Seeing that she had earned a sum of money, the witch doctor reminded them, “This time, your child fainted because she was shocked and almost lost her soul. However, it’s also possible that someone used her birth characters to do something. Think about it. Did you offend anyone recently? Did you reveal her birth characters to outsiders?”
Originally, the witch doctor’s methods also required a birth date and the eight characters. However, she only needed to recall the child’s soul this time, so there was no need to go through so much trouble, and hence she did not ask.
If she had asked, she would know that the Wang Family did not know Little Ah Yu’s birth characters.
After the witch doctor left, the adults of the Wang Family fell silent.
“She mentioned birth characters.” Wang Chuangui frowned. “In that case, it’s her original...”
Halfway through his sentence, Wang Chuanyuan shook his head and stopped him.
Although they were chatting outside the courtyard and the children had been chased away, it was inevitable that someone might hear something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was better to be careful.
Everyone stopped talking about this topic, wanting to wait for Old man Wang and Old Madam Wang to return home.
If they could not figure it out, they might be able to get an answer from their parents.
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was still a little weak, mainly because she did not look too good.
Liu Shi did not allow her to get out of bed and made her stay in bed. She went to make her some white fungus porridge and brought it to the bed to feed her.
Little Ah Yu took a bite and could not help but say softly, “Mother, I saw Mother.”
Liu Shi’s hand that was holding the spoon trembled and she almost scattered the porridge on the blanket.
She forced a smile. “Ah Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn’t Mother here?”
“There was you and another Mother.” Little Ah Yu did not understand why Liu Shi was a little unhappy and did not dare to say the rest.
Liu Shi felt terrible when she saw the child like this.
The child had thought of her original mother. This was not wrong.
Moreover, no matter what happened in the past, she should not be selfish and let the child forget her biological mother.
“Go ahead. Mother is listening.” Liu Shi scooped up another spoonful of white fungus porridge. As she fed Little Ah Yu, she listened to her slowly talk about the dream.
Little Ah Yu said that she had met her mother in the past, but that mother was strange.
“That Mother wasn’t in good health and was always coughing, but the Mother in the dream looked very healthy.” This was what Little Ah Yu was most puzzled about. Then, Ah Yu asked, “Mother, do people run into dreams after they die? Do they change when they run into dreams?”
Liu Shi’s eyes widened slightly.
What did this mean?
Was Ah Yu’s previous mother gone?
“I know. My other Mother is dead.”
Little Ah Yu drank the Myriad Spirit Water every day, and her thoughts became clearer and clearer, especially her memories of the past. Once she woke up, she could also search for those details.
Little Ah Yu said word by word.
“My previous Mother has left the world. She told me not to be afraid and not to take revenge. Mother, what is revenge?”
Liu Shi could not answer.
Yes, what kind of thing could be considered as revenge?
She wanted to ask Ah Yu how much she had remembered, but she remembered that when the child first arrived at their house, she did not look good.
She was so thin that she looked like she was about to collapse at any moment.
Perhaps, without the guardian angel who had already left Ah Yu, they might not have been able to save her.
In that case, it meant that her past memories were not good. If she kept asking the child, it would only cause her to sink in her painful memories.
That was not what Liu Shi wanted to see.
“I still have Big Sisters and Big Brothers. They don’t like me very much.” Little Ah Yu shrank her neck, as if it was filled with snow. She felt so cold that she shivered.
The seven brothers at home, as well as the brothers and sisters outside, would often stuff snow into her neck.
Little Ah Yu now knew that if something made people feel uncomfortable, it meant that they did not like that person.
“Ah Yu, don’t think about it anymore. Mother will accompany you in the future. Mother will always accompany you.” Liu Shi put the bowl aside and pulled Little Ah Yu into her arms.
Little Ah Yu thought for a while. She wanted to ask where her sisters and brothers had gone, but she did not really want to know.
She knew that her mother was already dead.
Now, there was a new Mother.
...
Actually, what Little Ah Yu wanted to ask the most was that after losing her mother, why did she have a new mother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer father was different too.
Was this normal?
As she thought about it, Little Ah Yu fell asleep again.
In the afternoon, Old Madam Wang returned first. The news she brought back made Liu Shi nervous.
“The original abbot of Puji Temple passed away??” Liu Shi’s face was filled with disbelief. “But when I saw him, he was still in good spirits.”
How could such a young abbot be gone just like that?
Old Madam Wang did not want to talk about it anymore. “In short, there’s no way to verify if the information is real or fake, so there’s no need to worry. Everything will be fine when the time comes. Tell me, why did Ah Yu suddenly faint?”
When Liu Shi told her about Little Ah Yu, Old Madam Wang’s eyes were cold. “Looks like something happened with the Xie family.”
Using one’s birth characters to harm others was a forbidden technique to begin with. Not many people in the Great Chang Nation could do it.
Then what was the background of the Xie family?
...
Old Madam Wang frowned.
“Mother, will something happen? Are they dealing with Ah Yu?”
Old Madam Wang comforted Liu Shi. “Don’t worry. If this forbidden technique fails once, I’m afraid it won’t cause much trouble for a few years. Ah Yu is lucky. If she manages to avoid it, everything will turn for the better.”
“Mother, the guardian of Ah Yu...”
“I know. Go about your tasks.” Old Madam Wang did not let Liu Shi continue speaking and reminded her, “You just have to remember that Ah Yu is your child. No matter what she has or encounters, you have to do what a mother should do.”
She could not treat Ah Yu well because of her specialness. She had to really treat her as a child at home. Otherwise, she would lose her original intentions sooner or later.
At that time, it was unknown how terrifying things would become.
Liu Shi nodded. “I understand.”
Ah Yu was reminded of her mother who had died. She did not know how much it hurt Ah Yu. How could she bear to hurt the child again?
At night, Old man Wang also brought along a stack of items and returned to town.
