The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 75: Blessing of the Luan Bird

Chapter 75: Blessing of the Luan Bird (asking for monthly ticket~)

After returning home, Qin Huai opened the picture book again and clicked on the dream in Chen Huihui's picture book.

Dream: 0/0 (click to view text version)
After clicking it, there was a text version that was so long that it was impossible to scroll to the bottom. Qin Huai took a quick glance at the front and found that it was indeed the text version of the dream he had seen. There were no pictures, but it was very considerate and had text explanations.

Perhaps because Chen Hui Niang had completely failed to survive the tribulation and disappeared completely, Qin Huai couldn't even see her memory.

The Luan bird, also known as the black bird and the blue bird, has colorful patterns. When it appears, the world will be at peace. It is the messenger of the God of Spring and a symbol of good luck.

This is also the public’s traditional perception of the phoenix.

Both are divine birds, but in some sense the Luan bird has a much better reputation than the Bifang.

Unfortunately, Chen Hui Niang had bad luck. When she survived the tribulation for the first time, the feudal dynasty had not yet ended. As a beautiful woman living alone, she often did not attract goodwill.

If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

The innocent phoenix gave her blessings to those in distress, but received nothing in return for her kindness.

The rescuer reported her miraculous powers to a wealthy local family in exchange for a reward. The wealthy family had his servants capture her, put her in a cage, and sent her to local officials as a precious gift.

Local officials sent the gift up the chain of command, and finally this auspicious gift was given to a noble in the capital.

The nobles don't want her blessing, they want immortality.

The Luan may be a powerful divine bird, but she is the messenger of the God of Spring and the embodiment of kindness and peace. Her divine power is used to give and help, rather than to spit fire to death like the Bifang.

The nobles peeled off her skin, cut her flesh, and drained her blood to make exquisite dishes and refine her into precious pills. In the midst of puffing smoke, laughing and talking, and accompanied by the dream of immortality, they ate the phoenix up to its last drop.

Chen Hui Niang’s inner demon is very simple, her obsession comes from hatred.

She hated herself for helping others with good intentions, but all she got was endless pain and torture.

From then on, the phoenix began to reincarnate again and again.

She is still kind, still weak, and still beautiful, but she has never received the kindness she wanted in return.

She has experienced natural disasters, man-made calamities, wealth and poverty. She has been the daughter of a high-ranking official, a poor girl from a farming family, the only daughter of a merchant, and even the rebellious daughter of a rebel.

She went through five reincarnations and finally became Chen Hui Niang in the last life.

In this life, she was no longer beautiful, but she still didn't live a good life.

She is still kind, but she will carefully wrap up her kindness.

She is still smart, but she makes her intelligence less obvious.

Perhaps after forgetting everything she has learned how to be a human being, but her essence is still a phoenix.

As the messenger of the God of Spring and the darling of heaven, she encountered the last straw handed to her by heaven.

When she was about to starve to death, she met Chen Huihong, who was not used to being a human for the first time, confused and ignorant, but lucky enough.

The confused Chen Huihong didn't recognize that Hui Niang was also a spirit. The two of them fled together, one secretly studied, the other secretly watched out, and finally they became roommates and lived a peaceful life.

The six months she lived in Beiping City were not the richest days Hui Niang had ever lived in her six generations, but they were her happiest days.

Perhaps times have really changed. In the same place, the powerful and wealthy who once dominated Hui Niang and took advantage of her have long since become dead bones. Hui Niang, who has long forgotten everything, is now working hard in the girls' school.

She still receives malice, contempt, disgust and calculation from others, but she also receives kindness, care and help that she had never received before.

Sometimes, the girls' school students would give her a steamed bread, which they themselves did not like, because they saw that she was so thin and small.

The owner of the second meat shop would remember that she had always wanted to buy some pork head to try, so he specifically told her when the pork head was cheap, asking her to hurry up and not miss it.

The clerk in the drug store would remember that he was the maid of the crazy lady, remember her name, and greet her when she carried the bamboo basket to buy food.

Before going out for a walk every day, Chen Huihong would insist on asking her what she wanted to eat. After getting the answer of black flour steamed bun, she would never bring it. However, she would bring back sweet foods that she thought were delicious, such as candied haws, sugar men, and candied date cakes.

The obsession gradually disappeared and the divine power slowly recovered.

But Hui Niang didn't notice it.

Her true awakening was the moment Chen Huihong held her hand before she died.

She had reached out her hand to others for help countless times, she had shouted "Save me" many times, she had said why countless times, but she had never received a response, never received even a trace of kindness when she needed help the most.

The moment Chen Huihong held her hand, she felt Chen Huihong's guilt, and the strong guilt almost enveloped her.

She wanted to say to Chen Huihong: Sister, don’t be sad, you are the best person to me in this world, even if you are not a human being at all, you are the best.

But she is dying.

Her consciousness began to blur, her eyes became blurred, and her brain began to fail to control her limbs, but some things began to become clearer.

She was clear-headed and confused at the same time. She looked at Chen Huihong and called out "Mom".

As long as she had some memories left, she always tried to please her mother, because a mother always loves her children selflessly.

Maybe she was unlucky and didn't encounter such selfless love, but the more she didn't have it, the more she longed for it. At the end of her life, when her consciousness was most distracted, Hui Niang sincerely hoped that Chen Huihong was her mother.

In this way, she will tell herself that no matter how unfortunate life is, her mother still loves her.

Hui Niang's life is about to disappear.

She murmured, speaking the words of the moment she truly realized that her mother didn't love her at all.

Chen Hui Niang died, but the phoenix woke up.

The phoenix, which had successfully survived the calamity, saw Chen Huihong staring blankly at Hui Niang's body. It silently closed the window, laid Hui Niang flat, wiped the blood off her face, and changed her into its own cotton-padded jacket, which had no cotton in it but was made of very good material and looked very beautiful.

She saw Chen Huihong sitting quietly in a chair without eating melon seeds, waiting for the waiter to come and deliver medicine and ask how Hui Niang was, and then she told the waiter indifferently that she was dead.

The phoenix knew that Chen Huihong had failed to survive the tribulation.

She woke up, but the price was Chen Huihong's failure.

The phoenix couldn't accept all this.

She gave up the success that was within her grasp and used all her divine power to bless Chen Huihong.

She will meet Chen Huihong again in the life when she has the best chance of waking up. There is no afterlife, and she will truly lose her memory.

She didn't know if she was the straw that saved Chen Huihong, but she hoped she was.

At the end of the text is the confession of the phoenix.

[Before I went through the tribulation, my elders always told me that the phoenix would harm itself because of its excessive kindness, and told me not to follow the footsteps of those losers.

I don't believe it, but maybe our predecessors were not wrong.

But there’s nothing wrong with being kind.

My sister is even more correct.

I cannot exchange her disappearance for my own successful tribulation.

I can't accept it.

I would rather be her daughter than her sister or maid.

Maybe I am not her straw, but one straw is too inconspicuous, and my sister is so confused, two straws would be more conspicuous.

I am Chen Hui Niang, also Chen Hui Hui.

Maybe mom will never know.

But I hope she's happy.]
Qin Huai read all the text in silence and sniffed.

After checking the time, he called Huang Xi to ask if there were any fresh chickens suitable for making chicken soup in the canteen.

It’s just chicken soup, cook it!
