Chapter 825: A Tragic Life

physical cultivation techniques as much as possible."Ripples understand the explanation of a stone mill in seconds.Back on the fighting platform, Ripple unsheathed her weapon. Several white-haired, e...Wenjiacun is backed by Liangshan Mountain. Every year before the autumn harvest, wild boars in the mountains would come down in groups, wreaking havoc on the crops that were about to be harvested.

So every time before the autumn harvest, every household in the village will send one person out at night to patrol and prevent wild boars from damaging the crops.

As it happened, on the night that Wen Erniang was patrolling, a herd of wild boars, numbering about ten or so, crept down the mountain in the dark. The patrol team spotted them, and Wen Erniang immediately rang her bronze gong and drove them away with a torch.

This group of wild boars were very bold, they actually charged right at people. The patrol officers were scattered by the attack. Wen Erniang used her sickle to kill one boar, but she was also gored in the belly by its tusks. People watched helplessly as things went wrong.

Su Wu shook his head in regret as he said this.

Then what

"When the village head arrived with people, several were already injured in the field. However, Wen Erniang was the worst hurt. After being carried home, the village barefoot doctor took a look and shook his head, instructing them to prepare for her funeral."

Knowing her time was short, Wen Erniang spoke in private with her elder brother, then summoned the village head and elders, bequeathing her family's household registration to her youngest daughter, Wen Zhaoyue.

The wild boar she had killed herself was sold by the village head, and after the money from the sale was used to cover funeral expenses, the rest was left to her son and daughter. Their five acres of land were temporarily given to the village, and the village would provide her children with enough food to survive each year.

He is a smart person.

The ripples nodded.

"Who said it wasn't Then, Wen Erniang, with a final gasp of air, signed the document and pressed her seal. Only then did she swallow her last breath."

Because she had explained things clearly before leaving, Big Sister Wen and even young Master Wen, who was already married, didn't gain anything.

Su Wu curled his lips, obviously disdainful of the Wen family's demeanor.

"They weren't trying to take advantage, they just didn't know that Mrs. Wen Er would put their lives in danger. They were afraid she'd charge a lot for treating their injuries and might ask them for money, so they pretended not to know and missed the best opportunity."

With a turn of her rippling eyes, she had a guess.

"Miss clever, you guessed it right. Those people didn't get any benefits, so they set their sights on the eldest son of the Wen family. If he marries, his younger sister is young and has no one to take care of her. They can then use the excuse of raising the children of the Wen family to rightfully accept the property of Mrs. Wen Er."

Wen's younger brother was also clever. He went straight to the village head and stated that his mother's dying wish was for her to take care of his sister and not allow her to marry before she turned sixteen. If he disobeyed, he would be disowned, his house and land would belong to the village, and his younger sister would be raised by the village.

And he also said that his mother died to protect the village's crops, and the village couldn't bully the two of them, young as they were. They put the village head in charge, and finally, the village head spoke up, and then the Wen family calmed down.

Su Wu's words were a little dry, but he still clearly explained the situation with the Wen siblings.

When ripples heard this, she knew that even though Wen Jia had quieted down, Wen Zhaoming's life wasn't easy either. After all, he had to take care of his younger sister and couldn't farm the land at all. They relied solely on the harvest from five mu of land, and after paying the taxes, what was left in their hands wouldn't be much.

"I see that this young master Wen is clear-headed and understands right from wrong."

Ripples praised.

"That's true, it's only because his parents died one after another that people spread rumors that he was a bringer of misfortune. Even those who were initially interested in him changed their minds."

Su Wu speaks the truth.

"That's nonsense! If he were a traitor, Lord Cen wouldn't have been alive when he was born. Besides, his mother died protecting the village crops. How could you blame it on Young Master Wen Someone must be slandering him."

The ripples shook their head.

"As the lady said, we outsiders can see it clearly, but some people just can't stand to see others doing well, so they spread these rumors privately. Young Master Wen is already eighteen and there hasn't been a matchmaker coming to his door."

After Ripples heard what she wanted to know, she sent Su Wu away.

And Su Wu secretly pondered, thinking that their young mistress should have taken a liking to the young master of the Wen family. However, this young master's appearance was rather hard to describe. His figure resembled a woman's, lacking the graceful beauty of a young man. He didn't know what the young mistress saw in him, but it wouldn't hurt to pay more attention.

Liàn Yī was copying scriptures in her study, while also grinding ink with a stone mill.

"What happened to Wen Zhaoming in his last life"

His younger sister died from a cold because she wasn't treated in time. He was then married off to his cousin by his uncle, the wife of his cousin, who was a simple daughter. His uncle made a fortune but ruined Wen Zhaoming's life forever.

Wen Zhaoming was finally worn down to death, never having a child in his life. It was quite tragic, but before he died, he took revenge, taking his foolish wife with him and poisoning the Wen family. He could die without regrets.

The stone mill looked at the light screen and said.

Ripple, after hearing this, didn't find it strange at all. If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to bear it and would have killed that wicked Wen family young master long ago.

"Ripples, why don't you consider it again I think the original body might not be able to control Wen Zhaoming."

Shiju still expressed his own opinion.

"No rush, I didn't say I was going to marry him right now."

Ripple said unconcernedly.

After another half month passed, the autumn harvest began, and the people in the fields became busy, striving to gather all the crops before the rain came.

When no one was paying attention to her, Lin ripples took the child and two guards to Liangshan for hunting. The animals in the mountains were all busy putting on weight for the winter, making them the fattest prey at this time. She naturally wouldn't want to miss out on it.

An He carried a basket, feeling that their young mistress was not very reliable. She said she was going up the mountain to hunt, but An He thought it was more like a fall outing. With the young mistress's small frame, she didn't seem like someone who could pull back a bow and shoot arrows.

After going up the mountain, An He became even more vigilant, fearing that something might happen and they wouldn't be able to protect the young lady.

"You three, don't be nervous. I brought my bow and arrows; I can protect myself."

With a playful smile, Ripples raised her bow.

But all three of them had a look of troubled uncertainty on their faces, clearly not very confident in their young mistress' archery skills.

"I will prove my abilities one day."

Ripples raised its head.

The two guards didn't say much, after all, Miss said whatever it was, that's what it was. They just had to protect the young lady well.

"Miss, we're approaching the inner perimeter here. We can't go any further in."

Lotus immediately reminded.

"How can there be prey without entering the inner circle"

Ripple refuted.

"Miss, I'll go scout ahead first. Please rest here for a while."

The lotus spoke directly.

Okay, go! Go on. Come back soon.

Lotus and Cuihua exchanged a few words, then darted into the forest.

An He chose an open space and brought out the food and drink. She first served her young mistress tea, and then built a small fire to warm up some dried rations to eat.

A dull booming sound came from the sky, and the already somber forest grew even darker. Then raindrops began to fall from the heavens.

"Miss, hurry and take shelter under the tree!"proaching, she cautiously pulled all four children into the shade. ...The ripples subsided, and she pushed open the car door, saying to the woman in the shadows:"I am Yun Yi, Mr. Chu asked me to pick...
