Chapter 94: Loving Mother Kills Her Son

While walking on the street, Zhu Chengwu restored some collapsed earthen walls and houses to the best of his ability.

As for some wooden houses, Zhu Chengwu could do nothing to help!

After all, the "Earth Core Fire Lotus" only has earth rules and fire rules, but no wood rules.

As for Zhu Chengcheng, Zhu Chengwu had already given him a personal token, asking him to mobilize the forces of the Fu'an Marquisate, various departments of the prefectural and county governments, and aristocratic families to help rescue the people.

Zhu Chengwu has just demonstrated a fighting power that surpasses that of ordinary masters. Zhu Chengwu believes that after seeing the token, they will obey his orders and contribute money and manpower.

Moreover, although Zhu Chengcheng was a descendant of a poor family, he was still a member of the Zhu clan.

Um~
Just when Zhu Chengwu was restoring a section of the earthen wall that had been pierced by his previous Great Sun True Flame Ray, he suddenly discovered something and let out a light exclamation.

Then, Zhu Chengwu flashed and came to a collapsed wooden house.

Zhu Chengwu stretched out one hand, and the "Earth Core Fire Lotus" in his body began to rotate, and the earth under the collapsed house began to bulge.

Little by little, carefully, the collapsed wooden building materials were lifted up.

Finally, as the soil moved, the scene under the collapsed building was finally revealed.

In the corner of the wall.

A tragic yet touching scene appeared before Zhu Chengwu's eyes.

In the corner, a father held a square wooden table for eating firmly with his hands. Under the table were his wife and children.

The corner and the square wooden table protected his wife and children, but he himself had already been smashed to a bloody pulp by the fallen roof beams.

Under the table, a mother bent over, trying to leave enough space in her arms for her child to breathe.

The square wooden table above her back had one leg broken already, and it was supported entirely by her back.

The deep love this couple had for their son was revealed to Zhu Chengwu without reservation!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Chengwu felt slightly shocked and moved.

This is not the strong heart that a strong warrior should have.

But it is the soft heart that a human being should have.

Zhu Chengwu controlled the land and moved the three of them out.

The mother, who was in a coma and still muttering "child" and "save the child", was awakened by the sudden movement.

In fact, it was her weak cries for help, "Child," "Save the child," that attracted the attention of Zhu Chengwu, who was repairing the earth wall not far away, and let Zhu Chengwu know that there was still someone alive under the collapsed wooden materials.

This time, she managed to save herself successfully.

"Dalang!"

"Da Lang!"

"Are we saved?"

"child!"

"Our child, is he okay?"

After being awakened, the mother immediately called the person she trusted most.

However, no matter how much she called out or asked, the familiar voice around her did not answer her.

"Don't worry! Your child is fine!
He’s still alive!”

Instead, a calm voice that she had never heard before answered her.

"who is it?
who are you?
Dalang, where is my Dalang? "

She asked back.

She didn't believe what strangers said.

She only trusts her Dalang.

In order to truly determine the life or death of her child, when her Dalang did not respond, she had no choice but to pinch the child in her arms, trying to determine whether her child was safe and alive through the child's crying.

The child, who had fallen asleep, woke up from the pain.

Wow~~

The sound of a child crying brought a smile like a blooming lotus to her face.

It makes the sunlight pale in comparison and all the flowers dim!
This is a great smile, a smile that belongs only to a mother!

But soon this great smile disappeared.

What followed was the woman's anxious and worried expression.

Because she remembered that her Dalang had never responded to her!

A vague feeling of uneasiness continued to gnaw at her heart.

She remembered that after she and her child were rudely hidden under the table by her husband, Dalang, she did not follow him in.

"Who are you?

It was you who saved us?

Where is my Dalang?
Please~
Please tell me! "

After making sure the child was fine, the woman began to worry about her husband, the father of her child, and asked anxiously.

Looking at the blind woman in front of him with unfocused eyes, who in anxiety could only hold the child in one hand and fumble around with the other hand, Zhu Chengwu's heart and eyes were full of complicated feelings.

Because her husband, who left hope of life to her and her child, is dead.

Killed by collapsed wooden roof beams!

Death is an area where Zhu Chengwu has no solution at all.

"He is dead!"

Zhu Chengwu's heavy voice sounded.

Although Zhu Chengwu didn't want to tell her the fact, he didn't want to give this woman unnecessary hope and let her suffer greater despair after her hope was dashed.

Her husband is a good husband and a good father.

Zhu Chengwu discovered it when she was carrying her husband's body out!
Her husband is also a disabled person.

The calf is broken!

But it was this man and father with a broken leg who, when he found that the house had collapsed and he could not escape with his wife and children immediately, immediately thought of a solution.

A square wooden dining table was used to protect the blind woman and young child in the corner.

Leave the tiny hope of life to the blind woman and the young child!
In order to increase the tiny hope of his wife and child's survival, he chose to use his own body to fix the dining table and bear the weight of the collapsed roof beams.

great!

So great!

However, although it is great, Zhu Chengwu does not accept it.

Because in Zhu Chengwu's view, this is just the greatness of the weak and also the helplessness of the weak.

If this man was strong enough, he wouldn't have to seek a chance of survival for his wife and children in this way.

He had already run away with his wife and children.

It can even be said that if this young man is a little stronger, stronger than Zhu Chengwu, Duke of Yan, and Marquis of Xibei, then he can just drive Zhu Chengwu, Duke of Yan, Marquis of Xibei and others away and prevent outsiders from fighting near his home.

If you don't listen, I will take drastic measures.

Kill all those who don't obey!
If this young man had such strength, how could he suffer such an unexpected disaster?

The greatness of the weak is certainly admirable!
But Zhu Chengwu wanted to become stronger.

Even if you become strong, you may bring unexpected disasters to the weak, which will make you feel bad.

But at least, the strong can control their own destiny!
Don't be like the weak, who can only beg for mercy from the strong.

There is nothing we can do when faced with unexpected disasters or innocent misfortunes.

"No, impossible!

He won't die!
He said he would protect us forever!"

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's words, the blind woman shouted in disbelief.

His face was full of excitement.

Then she started screaming.

"Da Lang~
Dalang~~
Please stop joking! I’m scared~~~"

As the blind woman screamed miserably, the child in her arms, whose voice had originally quieted down, began to cry again.

After a while, seeing that her cries had not received any response from the familiar voice, the blind woman seemed to finally accept the fact that her beloved husband was dead.

The shouting gradually died down.

“The dead are gone, the living must continue!

Besides, you have children!"

After the blind woman cried and vented for a long time, Zhu Chengwu finally began to comfort her.

"right!

Children, children~
My poor child!"

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's persuasion, the blind woman, whose face was full of despair and sadness, finally lowered her head and stared at the child in her arms with her unfocused eyes.

There seemed to be worry, reluctance, and a desire for forgiveness on his face.

When Zhu Chengwu first saw the blind woman mumbling and looking down at the child in her arms, he thought his persuasion had worked!
After all, the memories of both past and present lives told Zhu Chengwu: Women are gentle by nature, but they are strong when they become mothers!

As long as there are children, nothing can defeat a mother for her children.

But the change in the blind woman's expression made Zhu Chengwu confused.

Reluctance to let go, longing for forgiveness, what the hell is this?

Zhu Chengwu even suspected that he had misunderstood the meaning expressed in the blind woman's expression...

But then, Zhu Chengwu knew that he had not seen it wrong, nor had he understood it wrong!
Because the blind woman unexpectedly put her hands on the neck of the child in her arms.

Pinch the baby's throat hard.

The baby's face turned red because of a blocked trachea.

But because the baby's throat was strangled, he couldn't even cry.

If Zhu Chengwu had not been so sensitive and had not been paying attention, even Zhu Chengwu might not have been able to notice it at the first time.

"what are you doing?"

Zhu Chengwu was filled with shock and anger, and a huge amount of internal energy surged out, directly knocking the blind woman away.

Then he drew the baby from her arms into his arms.

At this time, the baby boy, whose throat was able to breathe, began to cry sadly.

Hearing Zhu Chengwu's angry shout and feeling the child in her arms leave her arms, the blind woman, who was enraged by Zhu Chengwu and knocked aside with blood oozing from her mouth, fell to the ground in a daze, and then she let out an excited laugh.

Then she groped on the ground and tried hard to crawl towards Zhu Chengwu.

He was still mumbling to himself, "Child~" "Child~"

The blind woman's actions confused Zhu Chengwu!

Zhu Chengwu didn’t understand!

I really don’t understand!
If this blind woman cared so much about her child, why did she strangle her child to death?

why?
Isn’t it said that women are gentle by nature but strong when they become mothers?
But in the end, Zhu Chengwu walked over and put the child he had sucked into her hands.

Zhu Chengwu didn't know why the blind woman in front of him wanted to strangle her child.

But looking at the blind woman's anxious posture as she crawls on the ground, and she is so anxious that she doesn't even realize that her hands are being scratched by stones and wood on the ground. It doesn't seem like she is fake.

Moreover, in the ruins of the wooden building that had just been cleared, the blind woman's efforts to create more space for the child in her arms could not be faked.

What's more important is that even if this blind woman really went crazy and wanted to strangle her child again, Zhu Chengwu was right in front of her and was able to save the child before she strangled him.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Chengwu walked forward and handed the child in his arms to the blind woman who was crawling on the ground, the blind woman did not take the child.

The moment she touched the child, the blind woman quickly retracted her dirty hands covered in mud and blood.

Then she wiped her hands, which were covered in mud and blood, back and forth on her tattered clothes.

After she thought it was wiped clean, she used her "clean" hands to gently stroke the child's tender cheeks a few times, but she still did not take the baby that Zhu Chengwu handed to her.

She didn't know that as she wiped, the mud and blood mixed together, and her hands became increasingly dirty.

As she touched the baby, the blood and dirt were transferred to the baby's face.

Perhaps because he sensed a familiar breath, the child who had been crying in Zhu Chengwu's arms miraculously stopped crying at this moment.

Even though this familiar breath almost took his life just now!

Even though the hands of this familiar scent were dirty, he felt uncomfortable touching them!
But the arrival of this familiar breath still made the child in Zhu Chengwu's arms feel at ease.

Hearing the crying stop and feeling the familiar touch, the blind woman in front of Zhu Chengwu suddenly retracted her hands that were stroking the baby's cheeks like lightning.

Her unfocused eyes, glistening with tears, looked towards Zhu Chengwu.

"benefactor!
You are a good person!
I have a favor to ask of you!

If it is convenient for you, please adopt this child!

Just give him something to eat and let him grow up safely!

If it is inconvenient for you, please... let this child go without pain~
I really…I really can’t do it a second time!”

At this point, the blind woman burst into tears.

Zhu Chengwu was stunned by the blind woman's words.

"Let this child go without pain~

What do you mean?

Why do you want to do this?
And why should I adopt him?

You are still alive, don't you want to live with him and watch him get married and have children?"

Zhu Chengwu looked at this mother whose every move revealed her love and care for her child.

"benefactor!
I really don't have the ability to raise this child!

It was an accident that I got pregnant with this child!

It was the child's father who insisted on keeping the child!

The little woman is blind!
The child’s father is lame!

I told the child’s father at the beginning not to give birth to this child, because if he came into this world he would suffer with us!

But the child’s father insisted!
She said that since she was pregnant, the least she could do was to let the child come out and see the world.

In fact, what is there to see in this world?
I know that the child’s father just can’t bear to part with this child, can’t bear to part with his flesh and blood!

I couldn't beat the child's father, so I ended up giving birth to the child.

But after giving birth to this child, I regretted it.

This child has never had a full meal of milk since he was born.

And in order to help me take care of the baby and produce more milk, the father of the child became more and more tired and ate less and less.

He was a cripple, and it was not easy for him to feed two mouths, let alone three!

I'm a blind man and I can't help the child's father.

And now the child’s father is dead!

I will definitely go with my husband!
Leaving this child alone in this world would be a suffering, and he would not be able to escape death in the end!
It would be better for me, a useless mother, to help him end his short life without any pain!
But I, a blind mother, am useless!
They couldn't even let this poor child go without any pain!"

The blind woman looked at Zhu Chengwu with her unfocused eyes and said so.

The more she spoke, the more tears came into the blind woman's eyes.

In the end, tears flowed like a river!
Her already disheveled and dusty face was stirred as if she had rolled in mud.

As she was speaking, the blind lady suddenly kowtowed to Zhu Chengwu.

"benefactor…

You are a kind-hearted person!

You don't have to tell this child who his biological parents are?
If you want, you can tell the child that you are his biological father.

If you think that this child is too high for your son, you can also raise this child as a servant!
If it is really inconvenient for you, then... please let him go without any pain!"
