Chapter 182： : Jiao Niang’s past

Li Jianniang took Niannian into her arms and looked confused: "My Niannian is already forty-three years old..."

Shen Yizhi's eyes fell on Niannian. She looked at most two or three years old now, but she was actually that old.

“Does half-human and half-soul grow so slowly?” she asked Yi Chang.

"Perhaps, I don't know much about this kind of existence, but it may be related to the fact that she hasn't eaten. If she didn't still have half of her soul, she would have starved to death."

Ghosts do not need to eat, but the human half does. In other words, Niannian has been hungry for the past forty-three years.

Shen Yizhi felt frightened when he thought about it. No wonder Li Jiaoniang was so resentful.

No one can helplessly watch their own flesh and blood starve day after day, unable to go out, without playmates, and can only keep company with the darkness and insects, while the enemy who suppressed her here may not be able to live happily outside. No one can do anything without complaining.

"My family lives in Qingmang Mountain and has hunted for a living for generations. When I was twelve years old, my father went out hunting but never came back. I went out to look for him and finally found him at the foot of a slope. He The body was bitten beyond recognition by unknown beasts, but I found a few wild beast hairs nearby. They were neither wolves nor tigers. The roots of the hairs were very hard, and the tail ends were glowing with silver... I had never seen such a beast before.

"After I brought my father back for burial, I picked up his bow and arrow and vowed to find that beast and kill it to avenge my father! But several years later, I still found nothing. When I was sixteen years old, I picked up a man who was seriously injured and unconscious in the mountains. I took him back and treated his injuries..."

Speaking of that man, the expression on Li Jianniang's face softened unconsciously, and her eyes shone with a twinkling light. It was obvious that she had an unusual past with the man.

Sure enough, Li Jianniang continued: "After he woke up, he forgot what happened in the past, but he remembered that his name had the word 'Han' in it, so I called him Brother Han."

Shen Yizhi: Another amnesia joke, the world is very unfriendly to seriously injured people, and they will lose their memory at every turn!

"Brother Han knows a lot of things, he can hunt, know magic, and knows a lot of herbal medicine... He also taught me how to read and read. When I was with him, I was very happy and always felt that time passed so fast. When he recovered from his injury , he asked me if I wanted to marry him. Of course I wanted to, and I couldn’t wait to agree.”

Looking at her brilliant eyes, Shen Yizhi couldn't bear it. They must have been very happy at that time, but it was a pity that her ending was so tragic.

"Not long after we got married, I got pregnant. In order for me and my child to live a good life, Brother Han worked harder. He left early and came home late every day, bringing home more and more money, but I couldn't bear it. I was worried about him, afraid that something might happen to him. For a while, he became extremely silent after he came back, as if he was pretending something was wrong, and he wouldn't tell me when I asked him, but later he took the initiative to tell me. "

Shen Yizhi guessed: "He has recovered his memory and wants to return to his original place?"

"That's right. He originally wanted to take me home with him, but my belly was already very big at that time and it was difficult to walk. How could I withstand the long journey? He was afraid that something would happen to me on the road, so he left me at home. He also hired someone to take care of me, and when he left, he promised me that he would come back before I gave birth to watch our child be born.”

Li Jianniang suddenly laughed, her laughter was desolate and sad. Niannian, who was trying to eat, quickly dropped the food in her hand, rushed over to hug her, and called out uneasily: "Mother..."

"Mom is fine." Li Jiaoniang touched her face.

After staring at her for a while, as if to confirm that she was really fine, Nian Nian pounced on the pile of food on the table again.

By the way, the food on this case is already the third batch.

"However, when I was about to give birth, it was not Brother Han who was waiting for me, but a woman, a woman who called herself his fiancée. She said that Brother Han only regarded me as a plaything and left me behind when he returned to the family. Let me stop wishful thinking. I didn't believe it and wanted to go to Brother Han and ask him face to face, but the woman kicked me to the ground.

"I was rolling on the ground in pain, begging her to save my baby, but the woman was watching. Later, for some reason, she changed her mind and asked someone to deliver the baby to me. But as soon as the baby was born, I hadn't come yet. With just one look, she snatched my child away and had me nailed alive in a coffin.”

Shen Yizhi shuddered when he thought of that scene. That woman was so vicious!

Li Jianniang felt relieved. She looked calm when she mentioned the tragic events in the past, as if she was telling someone else's story.

“Then Nian Nian…”

Li Jiao Niang looked at Niannian tenderly, "When I was lying in the coffin, I discovered that there was another child in my belly. If she was born, she would only end up with the same fate as me - being suffocated to death in the coffin. inside.

“But how could I bear to feel the child in my belly? At that moment, I wanted to rush out of the coffin, drink that woman’s blood, and eat her flesh! For the first time, I hated someone so much.

"Perhaps God also heard my appeal. I really rushed out of the coffin. I rushed towards the woman with full of hatred and wanted to kill her. Unfortunately, I couldn't touch her at all, but she was killed instead. The people around me saw through it and suppressed me in the coffin, never getting out again.

“…Later, Nian Nian was born, and we, mother and daughter, are still together today.”

As for how Niannian was born, there are probably some secrets involved in it, but since Li Jianniang is unwilling to tell it, Shen Yizhi will naturally not get to the bottom of it.

"Miss Shen, Niannian is different from me. She is not a ghost and can grow up like a normal person. Can you take her out? If you agree, I will definitely get a generous reward."

Li Jianniang bowed deeply to Shen Yizhi.

“Okay.” Shen Yizhi agreed simply.

Li Jianniang is a ghost and is destined not to stay in the human world for long. Now that her resentment has disappeared, the door of ghost will soon be opened to her.

When the time comes and Nian Nian is left, how can Shen Yizhi bear to leave her here alone?

"Miss Shen, the long tooth I wear around my neck should be a treasure. It is also because of it that Niannian and I can persevere until now."

Otherwise, their mother and daughter would have been stunned by the soul-suppressing array.

"Other than that, I have nothing else to give you. From now on, Nian Nian will be left to you."

Li Jianniang felt that her soul power was constantly being lost, and finally looked at Niannian with nostalgia, "Niannian, stay with Miss Shen from now on, and don't think about revenge for mother. Mother only hopes that you will grow up safely, like a Ordinary people can just live their lives peacefully.”

“Mother—” Niannian rushed forward and tried to catch her, but couldn’t catch anything.
