Chapter 2724 (1/2)
Duan ruxuan over there has become a tearful person. Although Lin Mengya sighs a little, she doesn't want to see the excitement.
He gently pulled elder Zhao's sleeve, lowered his voice and asked, ”is this why you called me?”
She was a little embarrassed. ”I really don't think it's suitable to come forward.”
She disagrees with Mrs. Duan. Who doesn't know?
Besides, even if Duan ruxuan is pregnant with Zhao Zifei's flesh and blood, it's just that Mrs. Duan should go out in person.
But elder Zhao's face was a little heavy. For a moment, Lin Mengya suddenly had a frightening guess.
”Her child, can't be...”
”Don't talk nonsense!” Zhao Chang honestly couldn't resist and blocked her next words.
”Since it's not yours, why did you ask me to come?” Lin Mengya became more and more confused.
Elder Zhao took a complicated look at Duan ruxuan's stomach.
Perhaps it was too embarrassing. Mrs. Duan still had a cold face and took Duan ruxuan into the room.
The cry inside was intermittent. In the ice and snow, it sounded inexplicably sad.
Lin Mengya felt sensitively that Zhao Changlao seemed to be trying to control his emotions.
Are you worried? No, she felt like some kind of fear.
Elder Zhao looked at the white sky.
”There is a legend in the ancient family that 'winter snow eats babies'. There was such a heavy snow about ten years ago.”
He fell into a memory.
When Lin Mengya heard these words, she felt a little cool for no reason.
”Every snow disaster, those unborn or newly born babies will die inexplicably. The same was true ten years ago. All children under the age of one in the city were not spared.”
Elder Zhao held his hand.
As the city Lord and the elder of the ancient clan, he can do nothing about such a disaster.
Lin Mengya tried to explain it in a scientific way.
”The temperature has dropped sharply, and you are not ready for winter in the north. In a hurry, children and pregnant women are also the most vulnerable people. But there should be no problem this year. After all, I have been prepared before that.”
But elder Zhao was not so confident.
”None.” There was a strong and deep sadness in his eyes.
”All the ancient families had no children in that year.”
Lin Mengya only felt that her heart seemed to be pulled hard by something.
”All the children under one year old didn't survive the snow disaster.”
Elder Zhao closed his eyes and remembered the helpless look of the people when he met the snow disaster last time.
At that time, he and his wife were newly married. Although his wife had not forgiven him, she couldn't help helping those who lost their children with him.
He will never forget that on the third day after his wife gathered all the children together, those young children gradually lost their breath in their parents' arms.
The woman who was about to become a mother cried for his help, but although he tried all his means, the once fresh life finally turned into a pool of blood.
Not only him, but also all the owners of the ancient family. Every snow disaster brings more than a cold threat.
Lin Mengya felt worried just thinking about it.
She took a long breath and asked, ”so you want me to help keep Duan ruxuan's baby?”
Elder Zhao said solemnly, ”that's her own decision. I just
I want to ask you to help me find out the secret of ”winter snow eats babies.”
Lin Mengya picked her eyebrows and didn't directly agree. Instead, she asked, ”Why me? I don't have so much ability. Elder Zhao thinks highly of me.”
But elder Zhao insisted this time.
”No! From the first time I saw you, I had a faint feeling. Maybe my doubts over the years will be answered in you.”
Oh, are you ready to rely on her?
”Elder Zhao, I think you've thought too much. How can I have an answer to something you can't understand? You'd better ask someone else.”
She doesn't feel so clever.
What the ancient people haven't figured out for years, she can find the answer as soon as she comes?
You're kidding.
”I know you won't easily agree, but I can tell you clearly that if you solve the puzzle, maybe you can get more information about the ancient family's secret treasures.”
She stopped and looked back coldly at elder Zhao who had rushed to the hospital.
”What I am most afraid of is the threat of others. Although I want to get the ancient family's secret treasure, I want to get it by myself.”
The ambition in her words is very persuasive.
Elder Zhao secretly shouted bad.
He was also in a hurry to make the other party mistakenly think he was luring her.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed the subject.
”You misunderstood. In fact, I want to say...”
Elder Zhao's words were not finished, but her face suddenly changed.
”I'm going out right now. If you have anything to say, come back.”
Before the other party asked, she had already run away with Cairu.
Out of the Zhao family, Lin Mengya hurriedly got into the carriage parked at the back door.
”Faster!”
The nearby Cairu was also anxious, but she didn't forget to comfort her.
