After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 27 Healing Old Wounds

Gu Mingda's heart was in his throat when he heard this.

Mrs. Gu's cloudy eyes were still full of regret, and scenes from the past kept flashing before her eyes.

She had imagined countless times how great it would be if she had agreed to that person.

She turned her head, saw her son's nervous eyes, smiled sadly, and said: "That day when your father came down from the mountain, he saw his daughter playing with people at the entrance of the village from a distance. He was about to walk over when he suddenly saw someone beside him. The Taoist stared hard at Nannan."

"Your father said that the man looked very young, probably in his early twenties, but his eyes were wrong..."

Gu Mingda quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Gu frowned and said, "According to your father, those eyes are not the eyes of young people, but more like the eyes of old people, with a heavy turbidity and no vitality that young people should have."

Gu Mingda took a breath after hearing this.

Mrs. Gu continued: "Your father felt unhappy when he saw him, and stepped forward to drive the man away. Unexpectedly, the man could accurately tell us the situation of our family as soon as he opened his mouth. Your father thought at first that the man was inquiring in advance. After that, I continued to drive the Taoist away, but I didn’t expect that the Taoist said that our big yellow dog would give birth to seven puppies in the middle of the night, five white and two black.”

"When your father came back and mentioned this, the whole family felt that this man was joking. This was not the first time that the big yellow dog at home gave birth to puppies. Even if he didn't know the color of the dog's father, every time the big yellow dog gave birth to several little ones. It’s impossible for dogs to give birth to all other colors.”

Domestic female dogs give birth to puppies almost every year, giving birth to several puppies at a time until the female dog dies.

Gu Mingda asked: "Did the yellow dog really give birth to puppies that night, and the colors of the puppies were exactly the same as what the Taoist said?"

Mrs. Gu nodded and said: "The Taoist said all these things that have not happened yet. Naturally, your father was convinced by the Taoist's miraculous power. He saw the Taoist again at the entrance of the village the next day, and he did not dare to neglect it again this time."

"The Taoist asserted at that time that our family would have a literary star in your generation. Your father was extremely happy when he heard this. The Taoist asked you carefully about your birth dates, and your father told him."

"After some calculations on the spot, the Taoist said that the literary star of our family is you, but you are destined to be evil. There are twists and turns in participating in the scientific examination. If you want to resolve it, you need to do something else."

Gu Mingda recalled the various problems he had encountered in the imperial examinations over the years, and he even became a little convinced of this man.

"Your father begged the Taoist to do this, but he didn't want gold or silver. He only wanted your sister, and he asked us to offer to trade your sister for your future. Of course we refused. The Taoist left angrily. Ten days later, your sister suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night. , the doctor took one look and said it was hopeless, and refused to even prescribe medicine..."

"The day your sister died, the statue of the virgin in the temple was shattered to pieces."

"Now that I think about it, if I had known this earlier, it would be better to let that Taoist take away your sister. Maybe she is still alive now, and that Taoist can also do something to resolve your fate. You have a bright future..."

Seeing the sad and regretful look on his mother's face, Gu Mingda said directly: "Mom, even if my sister is taken away by that person, she probably won't survive."

Mrs. Gu stopped wiping her tears with her hand.

Gu Mingda explained: "Mom, that man came with bad intentions. He came here for my sister from the very beginning. The reason he showed his magic was to make you parents willingly hand your daughter over to him. He After finding out that he couldn't get it, he got angry and killed his sister. "Old lady Gu was slightly stunned, grabbed Gu Mingda's hand, and asked eagerly: "Is that so?"

Gu Mingda felt uncomfortable. Thinking about it carefully, what fault did his parents have? Just because he didn't understand the rules, he took the child into the temple to fulfill his vow. No one would have thought that such a small move would have painful consequences like landslides and tsunamis.

If possible, they hope Nannan is still alive more than anyone else.

The two old people were in enough pain. Their father became confused because of this matter, and their mother had often avoided people and secretly grieved over the years. It was obvious that they were both immersed in the grief of the past and had not come out of it.

Gu Mingda didn't understand these ghostly things, but it didn't stop him from coming up with reasons to comfort his mother: "That Taoist appeared strangely. You said that my sister was very lucky. You can't say that he did some weird tricks to take my sister away." It was just to seize luck. Although my sister was killed by him, she also had the opportunity to be reincarnated. "

"She was thinking about you, so she returned to our home again. If she falls into the hands of that Taoist, she might not even have the chance to be reincarnated!"

When Mrs. Gu heard this explanation, she remembered the birthmark on Niu Niu again. She kept nodding to brainwash herself and said, "Yes, yes, yes... If Nannan was not reincarnated, how could Niu Niu have the same birthmark... She is Nannan..."

Gu Mingda continued: "If my daughter really blames you and dad, she will never come back to our house. She has been thinking about you and dad, so she has come back after all the hardships."

Even though Mrs. Gu's eyes were dry from crying, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose when she heard these words: "My daughter... there is no better child than her..."

Gu Mingda comforted her softly: "There is nothing better in the world than a family reunion. Don't be sad, you will break your body from crying."

Mrs. Gu nodded vigorously. She thought of something else and couldn't help but ask: "Your father and I didn't resolve the evil spirit in your life. Can you blame us?"

Gu Mingda chuckled lightly and said: "Mom, I should fight for my future by myself. If I really trade my sister for my future, wouldn't I become a villain who sells my sister for glory? How can I be worthy of the sage books I have read for so many years?"

Mrs. Gu looked at him with pride in her eyes, secretly thinking that this was her best son, a gentleman who grew up reading books about sages.

After comforting his mother, Gu Mingda returned to his house with a tired face. Niu Niu was covered with a quilt and sitting in Yun Niang's arms. The mother and daughter seemed to be whispering something.

Seeing this scene, Gu Mingda felt that all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

He didn't care so much about blood relations. He just felt that since the child called him daddy, he should love and pamper her as if he were his own. At this time, he had some vague speculation in his heart, but he still needed to confirm it with Niu Niu.

Gu Mingda said softly: "Niuniu, daddy has a few questions to ask you. If you want to answer them, just say them. If you don't want to answer them, don't say them. Okay?"

Niu Niu tilted her head and glanced at him and said, "Dad, as long as dad wants to know, Niu Niu can tell dad. Niu Niu doesn't want to hide it from dad."

Gu Mingda looked at the little girl's trusting and trusting face, and felt as if something had hit her hard in the heart.

At this moment, he finally understood what his mother meant by the perfect daughter! Anyone who loses such a child will never forget it for so many years!
