Chapter 136 From the Mountains and Seas
There is a wheelchair behind the fountain at the entrance.

There was a little girl of about eleven or twelve sitting in a wheelchair. She was holding a drawing board and shivering.

Jia Qingqing put one hand on her waist, pointed at the child and yelled, "Who asked you to be here?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," the little girl was about to cry.

She was the child of a servant in the Lin family. She suffered from mild cerebral palsy and could not walk, so she had to sit in a wheelchair.

"Why don't you look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are? A disabled person like you who affects the city's appearance is worthy of being in such a beautiful garden?"

Jia Qingqing took out her anger on an innocent child.

Black Cat got angry when he saw her behavior and was eager to try. Yu Ning saw him gathering strength out of the corner of her eye and picked him up.

I hit him on the head and it exploded. He only has three legs left. What is he jumping around for?
"Meow!" He's so annoyed with that idiot that he wants to pull her wig!

"Isn't it just a wig?" Yu Ning walked quickly forward and approached Jia Qingqing.

Jia Qingqing was still attacking the little girl, saying all kinds of nasty things.

"You disabled people, this is karma. You did evil in your past life and deserve it in this life—ah!"

The cool familiar feeling on top of her head appeared again, her wig!

Jia Qingqing covered her Mediterranean bald head with her hands and turned around, and Yu Ning rotated her wig with one finger.

"If you don't even know the cause and effect of your past life, then don't come out and embarrass yourself. According to your logic, you won't be able to pay off your sins even if you become an animal in your next life. Why don't you get out now!"

Yu Ning threw the wig into the fountain, walked forward and pushed the little girl's wheelchair away, passed the bald kappa Jia Qingqing, suddenly turned around, and kicked Jia Qingqing into the fountain.

Well, I feel relieved.

"Yu Ning! I won't let you go!" Jia Qingqing shouted in panic in the fountain.

"Well, I'm waiting for you, don't let me go!"

Yu Ning pushed the wheelchair to a quiet place. The little girl was already frightened and looked at Yu Ning in horror.

"Madam, I didn't mean to disturb you. I thought you were not here today."

"Call me sister!" Yu Ning took out a bag of spicy noodles from her pocket and handed it to her, "Can you eat it?"

The little girl looked at Yu Ning timidly, and found that she was different from Jia Qingqing, so she took the spicy strips from her.

"Why didn't you go to school?" Yu Ning asked.

"My mother came to take care of the eldest young master. No one pushed me to go to school, so I followed her. I have online classes."

"If you have any questions about your homework, come and ask me. I will explain it to you when I have time."

"Sister, can you really read faces?" the little girl suddenly asked.

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"I want to know what I did in my past life to become a burden to my mother in this life."

The little girl had heard that disability was the result of sins committed in the previous life. Jia Qingqing said the same thing just now, and she was very sad.

"Sister, you can't see your past life for now. It's true that there is such a saying, but I think you don't need to listen to this nonsense."

"Ah?" The little girl raised her tearful eyes and looked at her.

“The poor, the disabled, and even women are considered to be the result of sins committed in past lives.

Many of my colleagues still say that the female body is inherently obscure. Even in the first chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber, it is said that the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass ‘only’ transformed into a female body.

The word "only" is used very subtly.

"Prejudice doesn't just exist against people with disabilities. Prejudice exists everywhere. We can't control the mouths of those idiots. We can only limit the impact on ourselves. Whether you are happy or unhappy, it's still a day."

"I'm worried that I'll be such a loser in my next life and be a burden to my mother." Yu Ning frowned as he looked at the teenager.

This child has a very miserable face. He has no father to rely on when he is young, his marriage is not smooth, and his children cannot rely on him when he is old.

Even a fortune teller cannot interpret this kind of natural bitter look.

But after looking carefully, Yu Ning noticed something different.

"Sister, your official palace is pretty good. Although it's not the perfect bright yellow, it's still quite talented. Do you have any special talents?"

"Specialty? I like drawing. Does that count?"

The little girl shyly handed the picture album she was holding to Yu Ning.

"Sister, do you want to see my paintings? I didn't take any painting classes. I figured it out on my own."

Yu Ning took the album and opened it. The sketching technique was a little immature, but it was full of spirit. This child has a talent for painting.

On the first page, the little girl drew a tree that looked like a maple tree, with a red trunk and slender branches.

The second page is a creature with four horns that looks a bit like a sheep.

Yu Ning thought of something and looked at the little girl in surprise.

"Sister, what are you drawing?"

Why does this look a bit like the two fruits she hit? !

When the girl heard Yu Ning asking about her work, she seemed very happy and started talking more.

"The first one is 'Maple' and the second one is 'Earth Bug'. Both are drawn by me based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Classic of Mountains and Seas" Yu Ning repeated her words.

"My mother bought me a copy of Shan Hai Jing, but it was a pirated copy she bought from Pinxixi. Many of the pictures were unclear and the color pages were badly printed. I thought of some illustrations based on the text description."

"Why did you draw the maple branches so long? They look like snakes."

Yu Ning thought that when the fruit of lust hatched into a lust demon, its branches were indeed as flexible as snakes, constantly rolling up living people and sucking their lifespans.

It actually has many similarities with this painting.

"Because it is written in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is a mountain called Song, and there is a red snake called Yushe. There is a tree growing on the mountain called Fengmu. Fengmu is the shackles that Chiyou threw away, and that is Fengmu."

Snakes were mentioned in the original text, so when the little girl was drawing, she simply incorporated the snake's idea into the tree.

"I see. Then what was your inspiration for the second painting? Why does it have four corners?"

Yu Ning pointed to the second picture, which looked very much like the fruit she picked last night. If the fruit had grown to maturity, it might be this big.

But the fruit last night had only one horn, while this painting had four. However, her nephew said that the fruit they encountered had three horns, which, when added together, matched the painting perfectly.

"On the Kunlun Hill, there is a beast that looks like a sheep but has four horns. It is called Tulou and eats people." The little girl recited the original text.

"Man-eating souls, I see!" Yu Ning was shocked again. She pointed at the patterns on the sheep and asked, "What are these things that look like eyes?"

"It's the pattern of a sheep. I created it myself. I felt that a man-eating animal like this couldn't have a snow-white body like a real sheep, right?
It should have some patterns, what kind of patterns would they be? I originally wanted to use tiger stripes, but I thought it would be better to use sika deer patterns. "

The spots on a sika deer's body look somewhat similar to human eyes.

"Why must it be a sika deer?" Yu Ning continued to ask.

The girl lowered her eyes, rolled up the edge of her clothes with her fingers, and said timidly:
"The spots on the sika deer change color. I think Tuluo must be a little girl. Little girls should like to dress up and change clothes back and forth, just like us."

"Is it a female?" Yu Ning thought of the cub last night. It made a baby voice and it was impossible to tell whether it was a male or a female.

"Yes, sister, look, the character for 蝼 in 土蝼 has a 女 in it, so of course it's a girl."
