Chapter 9 Encountering a Wild Boar
on the Road
Jing Yi had been thinking about the best way to explain herself if Mrs. Liu found out something was wrong.
After thinking about it, Jing Yi said: "Mom, I am your daughter. I remember drawing a turtle on my brother's face when I was six years old. I remember pulling the horse's tail when I was seven. I remember accidentally hitting him when I was nine.
I broke one of my grandfather’s favorite jade ornaments, so my brother carried the bag for me.”
Jing Yi also talked about some things in the memory of the original owner.
Mrs. Liu was extremely moved when she heard her daughter's words, her eyes were filled with tears, but she still asked: "Then why do you suddenly have these abilities?"
Jing Yi sighed and said: "Mom, I didn't say that I didn't want you to feel sad. I was actually about to die in that ruined temple, but an old man with a white beard appeared in my dream. He told me that I was going to die and would never die again.
No one can help the Jing family get revenge."
Jing Yi choked up and continued: "But I am not willing to die, I want to avenge the Jing family. The old man with the white beard said that he could let me live, and he could also bring me in another life, two lives.
If I were to reunite as one person, I would be able to acquire the abilities of the person I was in another life. But I would have to pay the price of ten years of life, and I would have to work hard to bring peace to the world in the future. I agreed without hesitation."
Jing Yi knew that the ancients were quite convinced of the theory of gods and ghosts, so she borrowed the theory of gods and ghosts.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu believed most of it as soon as she heard it. She grabbed Jing Yi's hand and said eagerly: "You mean you paid the price of ten years of life? How is this allowed?"
Jing Yi looked at her mother crying sadly and took her hand and said, "Mom, I have no choice. If I didn't agree, maybe I would have died a long time ago, or we would have been caught and executed by the emperor, so there is nothing else."
It cost me ten years of my life. No matter what, I earned it.
The old man said that I could have lived to be eighty-four years old. After ten years of life, I can still live to be seventy-four years old. This is already a very long life. And if I accumulate more merit, I can also extend my life."
Mrs. Liu now basically believed what Jing Yi said, because Jing Yi knew everything about her daughter and was so devoted to her. She always put her first and took good care of her along the way. If it had been someone else earlier.
Just leave her as a burden.
But thinking that her daughter would shorten her life by ten years, Mrs. Liu was very sad, "Yiyi, I'm sorry for you. Even if my mother's life is shortened by ten years, it would be fine."
Jing Yi put her arms around her mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, I have paid a lot of attention in these ten years of life. I have also gained a lot of skills. The old god also taught me an immortal method."
Mrs. Liu was very curious, "What kind of magic?"
Jing Yi mysteriously took out a rice seed from a small bag and placed it on the palm of her hand, "Mom, watch carefully. I'm going to show off my magical powers."
Liu's eyes suddenly widened as she watched the rice seed in her daughter's hand germinate, grow green leaves, grow taller, and then ear until finally she got a heavy ear of rice.
Mrs. Liu pointed to the ear of rice in her daughter's hand in surprise, "This, this, is this a real ear of rice?"
Jing Yi smiled and stuffed the rice ears into her mother's hand, "You'll know if you see it for yourself."
Mrs. Liu carefully examined the rice ears in her hands, and even twisted off a grain of rice, put it into her mouth and chewed it. It was indeed edible rice.
Liu was shocked and said, "Is this what the white-bearded old god taught you?"
Jing Yi nodded, "Mom, do you think I'm not at a loss now?"
After Mrs. Liu was surprised, she still felt a little grudge, "That's not as precious as your ten years of life. But it's already at this point, and it's too late to say anything. Yiyi, don't reveal your magical skills to others, otherwise you may be killed.
disaster."
Jing Yi said: "Mom, of course I won't let others know. You are my mother, and of course I don't want to hide it from you."
Mrs. Liu patted the back of Jingyi's hand, "Okay, I trust you, and I won't ask you about these things in the future, so as not to reveal the secret."
Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mrs. Liu believed her. She revealed her superpower in front of Mrs. Liu today just because she felt that she was with Mrs. Liu all day long and it was difficult to hide it.
It is also much more convenient.
Jingyi helped her mother lie down on the floor, "Mom, please sleep for a while, I'll keep watch. We have to go on the road tomorrow."
Mrs. Liu solved the doubts in her heart and slept peacefully. As long as her daughter was still with her, she had hope of living.
Jingyi boiled water in a small iron pot, then poured it into a water bag after it cooled down. She did not dare to let her mother drink raw water, as it would be troublesome if she got sick.
The night passed peacefully, and in the morning Jingyi used the leftover chicken soup to make some chicken porridge.
Mrs. Liu drank the delicious chicken porridge and sighed in her heart, if her daughter had not acquired these skills, how could they have come here safe and sound, and still be able to drink the delicious meat porridge at this time.
But Liu felt very distressed when she thought that her daughter's life span had been shortened by ten years. She knew that her daughter had always wanted to be strong. She also knew that her daughter had no choice.
After breakfast and packing up, Jingyi put out the fire and took her mother to the stream where she had been before. She used her powers to make the peaches on the wild peach tree grow bigger, and the peaches became bigger and bigger.
It's big and red, and it's very delicious when you take a bite. It tastes much better than before.
Jing Yi handed her mother a washed peach, "Mom, eat a peach, it's delicious."
Mrs. Liu was still surprised to see her daughter performing magic again. She took the peach and said, "Yiyi, it's better to use this magic less in the future. It will be troublesome if someone discovers it."
Jing Yi nodded, "Mom, I listen to you."
The mother and daughter ate the peaches and picked some, washed them, and took them with them to eat on the road.
All the luggage was carried by Jingyi, and Liu traveled lightly, but it was still difficult. After all, it was really difficult to walk in the mountains. Fortunately, Jingyi had the wood power, and she could separate the plants in front of her.
Jing Yi has always been vigilant, afraid of encountering some wild beast.
She was afraid of something, and suddenly Jingyi's sensitive ears heard some movement. After listening carefully, the movement was not small. She used the wood power to sense it, and it was probably a large beast.
She turned around and supported her mother and said, "Mom, there may be wild animals ahead. You should climb a tree first to avoid danger."
Mrs. Liu became nervous when she heard this, "Ah, is there a wild animal? Then I'll climb up the tree quickly."
In order to avoid wild beasts in the mountains, Jingyi specially taught her mother to climb trees. Even if she can't climb too high, she only needs to temporarily avoid the attacks of wild beasts.
Jingyi found a tree of moderate thickness and supported her mother to climb up the tree.
Soon Jingyi saw two wild boars coming not far away. The two wild boars were looking for food as they walked.
