The capital city in the fifth year of Qixin was covered by a rare heavy snow. Standing on the high wall and looking down, the whole city was covered in white.
On this cold winter day, when the snow was sucking and the wind was sucking, the fourth girl of the Shen family fell into the water.
A hole was smashed into the thin ice surface, and it took a lot of effort to fish out the frozen four girls.
In the Liehuayuan, the maids and mothers who served the fourth girl knelt on the ground tremblingly, lowered their heads, and their knees felt ache when they touched the cold brick surface.
There was silence inside and outside the house, and only the sound of snow falling was heard.
I don't know how long it took, a cry of extreme sorrow broke out in the room, "My Ruoer, don't scare grandmother, grandmother please open your eyes--"
When the maids and mothers outside the house heard the sound, they were all stunned. After looking at each other, they felt sad and fearful in their hearts, and they all started to cry sadly, "Miss Four, Woo, Miss Four..."
Mr. Shen, who had just left the court, rushed over to hear the news. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the jujube, he heard a cry, and his face immediately darkened.
He hurriedly lifted the warm curtain and strode into the house, "Mother, how is Danruo?"
Why did you fall into the water well?"
The gray-haired old lady Shen pinched her granddaughter's gradually cold hands, and her turbid old eyes were wet and bumpy. When she turned around and saw Chen Jun who was late, her heart was full of resentment, and she only stared at Chen Jun with breath and did not speak.
Chen Jun was so uncomfortable that he was staring at the old lady's eyes. He moved away awkwardly and hurriedly asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is my daughter doing?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "It's useless."
Please also ask Mr. Shen to mourn me and prepare for the funeral for the lady.”
Aftermath?
Chen Jun's heart skipped a beat. Although he never paid much attention to this stupid young girl, he suddenly disappeared, and a little sadness and regret in his heart.
The tears that Mrs. Shen had just stopped, were evoked by the doctor's words again. She lay on her granddaughter's cold body in pain and cried, "Grandma's heart and soul, how can you bear to let grandma give birth to a black hair... Your unscrupulous father doesn't love you, but grandma loves you. If you leave like this, how will grandma live..."
Chen Jun's face was so embarrassed by the old lady's words that Chen Jun's face tightened, but it was difficult to refute.
After all, there were so many outsiders watching him. He walked to Old Mrs. Shen and whispered, "Mother, don't be too sad, be careful of your own body."
"go!"
Old Mrs. Shen shook Chen Jun's hand without hesitation and said hoarsely, "I raised Ruo'er, and the good girl is gone like this. You father is not sad, don't you let me shed tears for her?"
It’s all the mother and daughter you usually care about in the West Courtyard. If it weren’t for them, how could my family Ruoer fall into the water for no reason!”
"What does this have to do with their mother and daughter?"
Chen Jun was shocked.
"How do you think Ruoer fell into the water?
She is afraid of water by nature. If it weren't for your precious daughter Siwan's inducement, she wouldn't have gone to the lake at all."
Old Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and said, "Sun is really a good daughter. The good girl asked her to teach her so viciously that she could not even tolerate her own sister!"
"Mother, you're a bit biased. Not to mention whether Siwan led Danruo to the lake, even so, then... it was probably Danruo who accidentally fell down.
Siwan has always been well-behaved and sensible. She would cry when she stepped on an ant to death, so she would not do anything to harm her sister.
The son knows that his mother is sad for Danruo, but Siwan is also your granddaughter, you..."
Before Chen Jun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Mrs. Shen neatly, "I'm too lazy to tell you this now! You either don't talk or go out and don't bother me for the last journey with Ruoer."
Chen Jun choked and saw that the old lady looked unwilling, so he had to shut up in disappointment.
Of course, he didn't go out. After all, he was a father. It was so ugly that he left and heard it. He just stood silently with his hands hanging down.
From the corner of his eyes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the red sandalwood carved banana leaf patterned hexagonal incense table in the corner of the wall. Chen Jun frowned slightly and asked the maid on the side, "I remember that the pomegranate potted plant is placed outside, why did it be moved in?"
The maid replied, "Reply to the master, the old lady said that the wind and snow were too heavy this year, and she was afraid that the saplings would freeze, so she ordered her servants to move into the house for the winter."
Chen Jun said lightly, and couldn't help but look at the potted plant more, thinking: It's amazing, this potted plant in the middle of winter is still blooming.
The brilliant red flowers drooped downwards, from deep to shallow, like the swaying hem of a beauty's skirt.
"What do you think? Do you have to care if I am willing to bloom in winter?
Humph! My daughter is about to die, and she is still in the mood to see the flowers, who is the one who is there?"
In the corner, the little pomegranate spirit Acuo thought angrily, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eyes again. The fourth girl is so pitiful, and her grandmother is so pitiful. Why are they so miserable?
Speaking of Acuo, she was originally a small pomegranate on the back mountain of Baohua Temple in the eastern suburbs that had just been cultivated into essence. She was born to be raised in nature and was free and free.
But not long ago, a heavy rain caused a mountain collapse. Her cultivation was still shallow and she was destroyed by the mountain torrent.
Fortunately, she was picked up by Mrs. Shen who went up the mountain to worship Buddha, so she was able to preserve the foundation.
Later, she was transplanted to Miss Chen Si's yard and took good care of her.
Old Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen Si are both extremely gentle people.
They picked the most beautiful flower pots for her, chose the most fertile and suitable soil for her, and took her to bask in the sun, watered her regularly, and Miss Chen Si would chat with her...
Although every time the fourth girl chats with her, the maids will secretly laugh: "A fool is a fool, he actually chats with flowers. No wonder the master doesn't like her."
Acuo didn't care whether she was stupid or not. She only knew that she liked the fourth girl very much.
She could feel the loneliness of the fourth girl, so she decided to accompany the fourth girl.
Anyway, the lifespan of mortals is short, so it doesn’t matter if you return to the mountain to practice decades later.
But she never expected that the fourth girl's lifespan would be so short.
Seeing the fourth girl turn into a wisp of white smoke and leave, Acuo's heart was also thrust in discomfort.
Old Mrs. Shen shed tears, and she also wanted to shed tears.
Hearing the old lady Shen crying, "Ruo'er is gone, I, an old woman, can't survive."
Acuo became even more anxious. The fourth girl was gone and her grandmother could not be gone.
She was so anxious that she suddenly became blessed to her heart. She remembered the century-old locust tree spirit in the back mountain that mentioned that some demons were greedy for the world and would revive the soul and come to the world to play.
It is okay to revive the soul by borrowing corpses, but it will consume a lot of cultivation.
Acuo thought about his little bit of pitiful cultivation, then looked at the heartbroken old lady Shen, gritted her teeth and made a decision—
The old monk in the temple often said that when you are a human being, you must know how to repay kindness.
Acuo thinks that it is the same as being a fairy.
After a while, the pale girl's long and curly eyelashes trembled twice on the bed.
"Girl, the girl opens her eyes! Old lady, old lady, look at me!"
Mama Li's tone was undepressed and excited.
Old Mrs. Shen was shocked and hurriedly looked at the bed. Seeing her granddaughter looking at her with her bright black eyes, the old lady was so happy that she opened her eyes wide, "Ruoer, you, you! Madam Li, go quickly, please invite the doctor back..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go now."
Madam Li responded with a stack of voices, and before the tears on her face had dried up, she ran out with a smile on her face.
The maids and mothers kneeling outside the door looked at each other and looked at each other: These four girls are so lucky. When they were fished out of the lake, their faces were frozen purple. How could they survive?
Inside the room, looking at Old Mrs. Shen who was crying with joy, Acuo gently raised his hand to wipe away her tears, his voice hoarse and weak, "Grandma, don't cry."
"Good boy, grandma is happy."
Old Mrs. Shen pulled out her veil and wiped her tears, and held Acuo's hand, "Ruoer, it's good that you're fine, you're so scared grandmother!"
Shen Jun also came over, with a little joy on his face, "Ruoer, you are awake, how do you feel now?"
Acuo stared at Shen Jun in front of him, blinking his big eyes, but said nothing.
Old Mrs. Shen turned her head and looked at Shen Jun with an awkward look, and explained lightly, "Ruoer just woke up, so she must be frightened this time."
Shen Jun said angrily, "Yes, that's the case."
After a while, the doctor was also called back. Seeing Acuo was awake, he was also surprised.
After taking the pulse, he even said "miracle". After prescribing a few doses of medicine to regulate the body, he said goodbye and left.
Acuo was lying on the bed and adapting to this body. She obviously felt that her cultivation level was mostly reduced. She could still cast some small spells on weekdays, but now she could not even make any spells, almost the same as a mortal.
Alas, it turns out that people are not that easy to be.
In addition to being depressed, Acuo felt that it was worthy of the time when he saw the happy appearance of Mrs. Shen.
The fourth girl is gone, so I will support her grandmother for her. After the old lady dies, she will go back to the mountains to practice.
Thinking of this, Acuo lay obediently on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
But before she could rest for a long time, Madam Li walked in with a bad expression, approached Old Mrs. Shen and lowered her voice, "Old lady, the mother and daughter of the West Courtyard are coming to us."
Old Mrs. Shen immediately looked down, "They still dare to come!"
Shen Jun also heard this and advised, "Mother, they should be here to visit Danruo."
Old Mrs. Shen sneered, “Visit?
I see they are looking at whether Dan Ruo has died! Madam Li, take someone to keep the door for me and don’t allow them to come in!"
Madam Li was about to go out as she was ordered. Shen Jun said unwillingly, "Mother, you are too much..."
"I'm too much?"
Old Mrs. Shen was about to get angry, but her sleeve was suddenly pulled twice.
She was stunned and turned to look at the bedside. She saw Acuo gently shaking her little head, her big eyes were bright and clear, and her voice was soft, "Grandma, don't quarrel with dad, okay?"
Not to mention Mrs. Shen, even Shen Jun was stunned for a moment. He looked at his well-behaved little daughter seriously and said with great relief, "Ruoer is a sensible."
Acuo smiled with curved eyebrows, but his smile did not reach his eyes.
sensible?
The fourth girl is too sensible and obedient, so she is bullied by them so much that she has lost her life.
