The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 36: The Uncrowned King 2
When it rains, it gets dark earlier. The villagers in Shanglin Village went to bed early. No one noticed that a room at the end of the village was always dark and the owner did not return home all night.
Early the next morning, the young man carrying a backpack slowly walked down the mountain and reached the end of the village. In front of the empty thatched hut, a graceful silhouette of a woman could be seen in the distance. She was looking into the house, looking at something.
This is a woman who looks very young, with beautiful appearance. Although she is dressed in ordinary commoner clothes, she has an elegant temperament that is incompatible with ordinary villagers.
Seeing the young man appearing at the door, the woman seemed to be obviously relieved, and she greeted him with a smile.
"Sanlang, you're back! You kid, why didn't you come back all night? You've made me so worried!" Lan Xin looked at the young man in front of her carefully and couldn't help asking worriedly, "Are you okay? Don't get wet. Yu is sick..."
Looking at the woman approaching, a strange taste flashed in the young man's eyes.
Waving his arms lightly, feeling the vitality of the boy in this body and breathing the air of another world, he raised the corners of his mouth and burst into a bright smile:
"I'm fine, let's say it's great, Aunt Lan Xin."
This is a mortal dynasty called Daqi. Shanglin Village is just one of the countless villages in Daqi. The villagers have made a living by farming for generations, and their in-laws are also very close.
However, the original owner's family is not the native aborigines of Shanglin Village, but immigrants who moved here more than ten years ago.
——Sixteen years ago, many princes seized the throne and set off a bloody storm. A large number of officials were deposed. The people were also uneasy. There were wars, bandits, and refugees everywhere. It was at that time that Li Sanlang's parents Came to Shanglin Village. According to them, they were also fleeing.
Also coming with them at that time were the infant Li Sanlang, the original owner, and Mrs. Li's personal maid Lan Xin.
His father is a doctor with excellent medical skills. Although his mother has never revealed her past history, she is an ancient woman who is literate, well versed in etiquette, has a refined temperament, and her manners also reveal traces of having received a strict education. Many villagers have Guess, this is probably a down-and-out official lady.
A few years after arriving in Shanglin Village, Mrs. Li died of illness, and Mr. Li's health became increasingly poor. Later, he fell while going up the mountain to collect medicine and was dying when he was carried back.
From then on, the ten-year-old original owner lived alone in Shanglin Village.
As for the maid Lan Xin, although she had been released from the bond a long time ago and had no obligation to take care of her original owner, she and Mrs. Li were sisters and had a sworn relationship with Jin Lan, so she would come to see him from time to time.
Relying on the little wealth left by his parents, the superficial medical skills and the ability to identify herbal medicines he learned from his father, and the skills he gradually developed in farming, cutting firewood, and raising pigs, Li Sanlang grew up to be sixteen years old. age.
Yesterday, he went up the mountain to collect medicine as usual. The one who left and came back was Su Ying.
——In the storm-shrouded mountain temple, a simple boy who had never left the county reached a deal with the mysterious immortal.
As a result, Su Ying became the new owner of this body.
"In the future, no one is allowed to go to the deep mountains and old forests to collect herbs alone. It's so dangerous. I heard that there are big insects in the mountains. I was really frightened all night..."
Amidst Lan Xin's chattering, Su Ying pushed the door open and entered the room. Lan Xin behind him naturally followed him in.
Su Ying put down the backpack on his back, then turned around and asked, "Are you scared? Are you scared in your dream?"
His tone meant nothing but pure curiosity. After all, the other person doesn't look like he hasn't slept all night, but is very energetic, so can't he only worry in his dreams?
"..." Lan Xin, who had been chattering all the time, choked up.
"You kid, do you blame me for not going up the mountain to find you?"
She looked at Su Ying with shock and sadness.
Su Ying also looked surprised, and he tilted his head: "I just think, Aunt Lan Xin, you should sleep well?"
It was indeed Lan Xin who came to see the person this morning and found out that the person had gone into the mountains to collect medicine and had not returned all night: "..."
In the adult world, what happened to a few kind words?
Li Sanlang's reaction was very different from usual. Could it be that he had a fever and was confused after being soaked in the rain all night?
She simply went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit: "Sanlang, I just heard that someone came to Shanglin Village a few days ago and asked about the origins of my sister and brother-in-law, and also asked about your life experience. Is this true? ”
Lan Xin was secretly upset that she hadn't come to care about Li Sanlang for a long time. It took her so long to know the news, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed here so early in the morning.
"It's true."
Su Ying spoke out everything he saw and felt in the memory of the original owner without reservation: "Those people looked very dignified, and sounded like they were servants of a wealthy family in the capital. I saw that when they saw me, They were all surprised, and their attitude became very respectful..."
"Ah!" At this point, he suddenly hit his palm as if enlightened, and his body suddenly leaned forward, staring into the woman's eyes shiningly, "Aunt Lan Xin, tell me, the person who sent them here must be Are my family members I haven’t seen for many years taking me back?”
Lan Xin's eyelids suddenly twitched, and she subconsciously took a step back, with a hint of urgency in her tone: "What kind of family members have been lost for many years? Your deceased sister and brother-in-law are your biological parents! My sister worked hard to give birth to you, Sanlang, don’t just listen to the nonsense told by unknown people outside!”
She blurted out this sentence almost immediately.
The boy looked at her with a strange look.
"Of course I know who my real parents are." He asked in surprise, "Aunt Lanxin, why do you think that?"
"Shouldn't you think that it was my grandparents who sent someone to find me? Doesn't everyone say that my mother is a poor official lady?"
"Could it be that... the truth of the matter is not like that?"
"——Is there anything I can't know?"
He circled around Lanxin, his eyes full of doubts. One sentence after another, just ordinary questions, but they sounded aggressive to those who were guilty.
In the boy's eyes staring at her, Lanxin actually had an illusion that she was completely seen through. At a certain moment, she felt that this boy who she had watched grow up since childhood had completely changed his skin.
Huh...
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and smiled apologetically: "I was too worried that you, Sanlang, would be deceived, so I was distracted for a moment. However, there is no one at my sister and brother-in-law's house. If someone comes in their guise, they must have bad intentions. Next time this happens, Sanlang, you must tell me first, don't be easily deceived..."
The young man suddenly showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
Seeing that he seemed to have listened, Lan Xin's expression became more relaxed. She earnestly reminded him to remember and consult her first next time:
"In this world today, is there any family closer than you and me? I have said before, Sanlang, if you have any difficulties, just come to me. I have watched you grow up, and you call me aunt, so I must do my best to make my sister and brother-in-law feel at ease in the underworld..."
Although she often said such words in the past and came to "look after" the original owner from time to time, the original owner was independent and self-reliant since childhood, adhering to the idea of a man standing up to the sky and the earth, and tried to do everything he could do by himself. There was no need to trouble her at all, and he often helped this aunt.
However, Su Ying did not have the idea of independence and self-reliance. He only knew that he would not waste the tool people who came to his door.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Su Ying nodded as he listened, and then he actively put it into practice to prove that he had listened. "Aunt Lanxin is really good at predicting things. In fact, I have a difficult matter now. It's great that you are willing to help!"
Lanxin frowned slightly, but a very reliable smile appeared on her face: "...What is it?"
"Here, here, follow me." Su Ying pulled up a corner of her sleeve and led people out of the house.
In this era, the separation between men and women was not strict, and the country people didn't have so many taboos. The hand pulling the corner of her sleeve was obviously very light, but it inexplicably had a force that was hard to resist. Before she could come to her senses, she was pulled to a wet and messy shack next to her without any explanation.
The shack washed by the heavy rain was in a mess, and a foul smell came out faintly. Lanxin's face changed slightly.
"I was just worrying about this, luckily you are here, aunt!" Before she could speak, a force pushed her into the open shack, and a happy voice of a young man came from behind, "Aunt Lanxin came to see me early in the morning. She must have expected that I would need to rest after staying in the mountains for a night, and I couldn't feed the pigs properly!"
The original owner was also an expert in raising pigs. After obtaining this part of the memory, Su Ying's good impression of him continued to increase.
Before she could react, she was pushed into the shack unexpectedly. The indescribable smell rushed into Lanxin's nasal cavity, making her brain dizzy.
She fell unsteadily on the haystack, and her face seemed to be pressed against something warm and soft, and was arched twice.
Lanxin suddenly raised her head, and her wide eyes reflected the enlarged pig's buttocks, and she fell backwards.
"!!!"
The raised finger trembled wildly, Lan Xin's face was pale and blue, and then she opened her mouth: "Ugh!"
Outside the shack, the boy's excited voice floated over.
"It was so rainy last night, I don't know if the pigs in the shack were wet, frozen, hungry, sick..." His worried tone was very sincere.
But soon, this worry turned into joy. Lan Xin seemed to hear the other party leaving the shack happily.
"Originally, I was thinking about resting before feeding the pigs, or resting after feeding the pigs...Now that Aunt Lan Xin is helping, it's not difficult."
Lan Xin, who was vomiting in the pig shed and dizzy, said: "..." Did you hear it? Did you hear it? Knock you!
In the next few days, it seemed that Su Ying had been resting at home in the name of taking good care of his body because he was caught in the rain on the mountain.
But for the sake of livelihood, the trivial things of farming, chopping wood, raising pigs, and collecting herbs in the past could not be delayed.
Therefore, Lan Xin became the only choice to work for him.
As a good sister of his biological mother and an aunt who promised to take good care of her nephew, how could Lan Xin leave her nephew who was not feeling well alone? And how could she "bear" to let her nephew work while sick? At this time, shouldn't the elders lend a hand?
At this time, there is no work to farm, and the firewood at home is enough for several days. Collecting herbs is not a must. After all, the only thing to do is to feed the pigs. Can't she let her nephew rest well and feed the pigs for him in just a few days?
She can find an excuse to leave the village and return to the county.
However, not to mention this move, the promise she just said was like a fart. The image of a reliable elder she established fell apart, which directly affected her nephew's trust in her...
the most important is……
Even for "that matter", she couldn't leave "Li Sanlang" easily. She still hadn't figured out who was the person who came to the village to inquire about Li Sanlang's life experience last time...
There is a secret that has been buried in her heart for sixteen years. Those people who suddenly appeared in Shanglin Village made Lan Xin feel the fear that the secret was about to be exposed...
She couldn't wait for the end without knowing anything.
"I have to do something..."
"Yes, I have to do something!"
And now the only person she can influence is the child she has watched since childhood.
"……vomit!!!"
——This is why she appeared in the pig shed for several days, retching and feeding the pigs.
