Chapter 14: Spiritual Spring
Ling Xin was not someone who would take a beating obediently.
Even in this dynasty where filial piety was the most important thing, she would never be so foolishly filial as to let others take advantage of her.
She dodged a little backward.
Then she saw her mother, who usually smiled, threw a punch.
It hit He Yuhua squarely on the left lower jaw.
He Yuhua was stunned at first and didn't react at all.
It wasn't until she felt a piercing pain in her jaw that she realized she had been hit.
Yu Qiuxia puffed her cheeks angrily and glared at her: "Don't bully my Xinxin!" She protected her daughter domineeringly.
Ling Xin couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, she was so moved.
Is this the feeling of being protected by someone?
After her parents passed away, she had forgotten the feeling of being protected.
However...
The way her mother attacked was not like that of an ordinary person. She must have some martial arts skills.
She looked at her mother in amazement.
In the original owner's memory, this mother had no idea who she was, where she came from, or what her name was.
She wandered to Lin'an Town alone, and was later sold to Ling Zhifeng as his wife by a trafficker.
The name Yu Qiuxia seemed to be randomly chosen by the trafficker.
I don't know if this mother was born with low intelligence or it was acquired.
"Ah... someone's been murdered!" After a long while, He Yuhua finally cried out: "The little bitch instigated her idiot mother to kill me. Everyone is going to die."
Her roar attracted a lot of attention.
Yu Qiuxia glared angrily: "Humph!"
She wanted to say something, but it was obvious that she couldn't express it.
Er Ya didn't know where she got the courage from, she stood up and shouted fiercely: "It was obviously you who wanted to hit my mother first, so my grandmother got angry and hit you!"
"You lose money, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak?" He Yuhua glared at Er Ya.
Er Ya was so scared that she shrank back into the cart and avoided her grandmother's gaze.
Ling Xin felt that He Yuhua was upset.
She had already hidden her temper and stayed away from her: "He Yuhua..."
He Yuhua: "...???"
The crowd of onlookers nearby: "..." She is such a scoundrel indeed!
"What did you just call me?" He Yuhua thought she must have heard it wrong.
In this world, there is no one who dares to call the mother-in-law by her name.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, Ling Xin immediately changed her expression: "You please be careful..."
She walked over and helped He Yuhua up from the ground.
The latter was so scared that she wanted to hide but failed.
Then she heard Ling Xin's voice, so soft that only she could hear it.
"He Yuhua, since you are the elder of the children, this is the last time I will tolerate you. If you dare to provoke me again, I can't guarantee that you will not fall to death while walking, choke to death while eating, or be poisoned by drinking water... I don't care who you are when I go crazy."
After saying that, she let go of He Yuhua and smiled at her.
Devil, this is a devil!
To outsiders, it looked like a friendly smile, but it sent chills down He Yuhua's spine, and she froze in her tracks as she tried to get up.
She had completely forgotten that she had called her by her name.
Yu Qiuxia, who had already set off in front, looked back as she walked, and even stuck out her tongue to annoy her.
This made her regain some of her sanity. Seeing the unfriendly looks from other refugees around her, she could only pat her butt and catch up with the team.
When passing Ling Xin and the others, she subconsciously sped up.
Wang Qiong, who had been paying attention to Ling Xin, felt that her worldview was completely shattered: "Mom, do you think this Ling Xin seems to have changed?"
"Yeah!" Widow Wang also thought: "She may have inherited her stupid parents and her brain is not normal!"
Was there a normal person who called their mother-in-law by her name?
As she spoke, she took out a black cake from her sleeve and handed it to her daughter: "Fourth uncle gave it to me, eat it quickly!"
Wang Qiong: "..." My fourth uncle is her cousin uncle.
She gritted her teeth and still took it and put it in her mouth.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Ling Xin still fed her family secretly to replenish their water.
Nutrient Express, iced black tea... They drank several bottles.
Bai Yue has been almost in a drowsy state since he got on the cart.
When everyone was about to use up all their energy, the village chief asked the team to stop.
Ling Xin still chose a relatively secluded location, with a few trees nearby, but not too far from the villagers.
Even with Bai Yue, an outsider, she would not wronged herself.
For dinner, they had a large bacon roll.
Maybe because of the fever, Bai Yue didn't ask any question, and fell asleep next to Lin Ziyuan after eating.
Ling Xin, along with her parents and a group of children, slept on the floor.
This floor is not ordinary at all. It has a layer of oilcloth as the base, a comfortable quilt on top, and a summer blanket at the end.
She sprinkled floral water and insect repellent around, making it safe and comfortable.
Wait until everyone was asleep, she couldn't wait to enter the space.
She felt that the space had changed since the afternoon.
But she was on the road all the time, so she didn't have the opportunity to go in and take a closer look.
It seems that nothing has changed, right?
She stood in the living room and remained silent for half a minute.
Tick-tick...
The sound of water dripping appeared very closely.
The faucets in the kitchen and bathroom were all closed.
She listened carefully, and after a long time she finally figured out that the sound of dripping water came from outside the bedroom window?
"..." It was pitch black outside the window, and it couldn't even be opened.
She quickly walked to the window and opened the curtains, and what came into view was a small patch of grass.
There was a long bamboo stick in the middle of the grass, and the sound of dripping water came from here.
It's just that... the long bamboo stick was suspended in the air, and there was no support underneath.
The falling water dripped into a stone bucket below.
It was incredible.
How did the long bamboo stick stay in the air without falling, and where did the water come from?
Full of questions, Ling Xin scooped out some water and drank it in one gulp.
Instantly, she felt refreshed, and most of the day's fatigue disappeared.
There was even a feeling of being reborn.
"Spiritual spring!" Ling Xin didn't expect that there would be a spiritual spring in her space.
But... why didn't it exist before, but now it appears?
Could it be that she did a good deed and save Bai Yue? It seems that there was no other reason except this.
She turned around and looked towards the small building. The original outline had already appeared, that is. It was the modern house.
But... there's a road right outside the modern door.
It seems that I can farm in the space in the future.
While she was thinking, she heard occasional "whimpering" sound from time to time, which was very pitiful.
It sounded like a miserable sound made by a dog when it was injured or bullied.
The sound definitely came from the outside world!
Ling Xin flashed out of the space, and her family was still sleeping soundly.
The pitiful voice of pleading continued.
She ran out in the direction of the sound.
After running about seven or eight hundred meters, I saw a fire in the distance.
There were two figures busy by the fire, and a black dog tied up on the ground was the one making the mournful sound.
