The candles flickered, and the lights and shadows overlapped.

Orchid fed the filtered liquid spoonful by spoonful.

Shen'er kept rubbing a few acupuncture points.

Stick the needle down, stop for a while, pull it out, and stick it down again.

"Buzz-" the woman woke up and moaned loudly.

The dumb aunt very intimately rolled up a silk handkerchief and put it into her mouth, and the mother bit it with a bite, biting it hard, hoping to vent all the pain through this bite.

"Oh, hey, this belly seems to be moving down!" cried out a woman in surprise.

"What is the belly moving, is the child in the belly seems to be moving, hey, really hey, it's moving down, it's moving, it's going to come out!" another woman was even more surprised.

Zhou's mother turned her buttocks up, and her eyes were staring at her stomach.

The dumb aunt glanced at it and looked indifferent, "It's still early, you continue." ”

A few small figures appear calm and orderly.

Ah Fu couldn't help much, so he could only make a fire, and the room was already warm.

The dumb aunt took off the wet cloth on her hand, wrapped it in a new layer, reached in and touched it, but found a hand full of blood, she held her bloody hand close to the lamp to observe, suddenly her face became solemn, and muttered to herself: "Is this so? How is this possible?"

Zhou's mother observed her words and looks, and when she saw that her face was not good, she suddenly became excited, "Is it going to be a difficult birth?" I will conclude that it will not be good, you just don't believe it!"

"Get out of the way!" Ah Fu broke off, originally raised his hand to hit the crow's mouth, but when he thought that she was the midwife he had invited, he could only hold back.

Mother Zhou looked stupid, still with a lively sense of pride, "Hmph, if you don't listen to the old man, I will suffer in front of me, I don't believe that I am in my sixties and will lose to you a group of little hairy girls?"

The dumb aunt didn't have time to deal with her. While rubbing the mother's abdomen, she suddenly asked, "Did you have a stomachache when you were pregnant with a child?"

Qiao's mother nodded hurriedly, "It hurts, it hurts a lot." But my family died, no one cared about me, and I didn't have the money to see the doctor, so I covered my stomach and slowly passed it when it hurt. ”

The dumb aunt frowned: "Have you done any strenuous activities that are harmful to the fetus in the past few months?"

Mother Joe gasped, "Harmful? What kind of activity is that? I don't know—do you mean the same room? Then it's gone, and it's been five months since my family died......"

An old woman pounced forward, "She, like me, pushes and grinds all the year round, that is, she holds a grinding stick and circles around the grinding disc, the grinding disc is heavy, and the stick has been leaning on the belly, do you mean this work?"

Qiao's mother yelled, "yes, yes, this grinding stick is very heavy." It often makes me breathless and my stomach hurts, but if I don't grind, I won't have anything to eat......"

The dumb aunt is silent, this is it, if the pregnant woman carries a stick on the stomach all the year round, it is another part, and in the long run, it will naturally affect the development of the fetus.

It is clear that this child has a disability.

She pondered for a long time, choosing a mild, acceptable word: "I'm sorry." You have to be prepared that this child of yours may be a deformity. ”

"Ah, deformed, what does that mean, how do I hear you so confused?" Mama Joe ignored the pain. Muttered asking.

Zhou's mother on the side suddenly lit up her eyes, "Do you mean that she is pregnant with a freak?" Oh yo, my God, that's right, it means that it's not my wife's ability, but your stinky mother-in-law's belly." You're pregnant with a freak, have you done something bad, and God is punishing you?"

Ah Fu's face turned white with anger, and he suddenly took out a few copper plates from his pocket and threw them over, "You can go, there's nothing for you here!"

Zhou's mother put the money into her sleeve, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of laughter, "What do you know about a girl? You should go out, Mao girl is staying here, and she will kill your mother!"

Ah Fu hesitated a little, the adults said that there could be no unmarried daughter's family at the scene of giving birth to a baby, and now this little grandmother is at the scene with a few girls, I don't know if it's good or bad?

Mother Zhou saw that Ah Fu was not so powerful, and suddenly became more proud: "If you want me to say, Mother Qiao, you must have done a great evil somewhere, so you suffered retribution, this freak, there are all shapes, I have seen a lot, there are like raccoon cats, there are like toads, and there is no nose and no eyes, just a bloody man...... Especially the toad fetus is terrible, a big toad is red and red, jumping on the ground and croaking!"

A few little girls were so frightened that they bit their tongues.

Is this one really going to give birth to such a monster?

"I also told you, this freak is very unlucky, you have to cover it up and bury it in a lifetime, Ah Fu, you go to find a hair pocket to avoid panic!" While leaning forward, he looked up at the dumb aunt: "You young people, how do you know how powerful this is, if anyone sees a freak, the soul will possess the body, and follow you and pester you for the rest of your life until you are killed!"

Ah Fu Na Na, really circled all over the ground, picked up a hair bag filled with noodles, thought about it a little inappropriate, and hurriedly threw it down, does the godmother really want to give birth to a freak?

The mothers-in-law of several mills were also frightened, and they gathered together and muttered.

"No wonder, I often have a stomachache when I'm pregnant, and now it's so difficult to give birth, it turns out that the monster is doing it?"

"Looks like I'm going to take my mother's life--isn't it really the reincarnation of a monster?"

"The matter is serious, do you want to tell the eldest wife?"

"That's right, if it gets out, when the time comes, the blame will come down, and we will all follow it!"

"Why don't you wait, after all, isn't it a youkai who hasn't seen it with your own eyes?"

"Do you really dare to see it with your own eyes? Aren't you afraid that the soul will follow you?"

……

The dumb aunt listened coldly while busy working, and sneered in her heart, these long-tongued women, poisonous tongue women, boring women, I just said that they may be deformed, why did you upgrade to a monster in the blink of an eye?

The mother-in-law's discussion fell into Qiao's mother's ears, she suddenly arched up, rolled on the kang, and cried: "Quickly bring a knife, kill me quickly, how can I conceive a monster......?"

Riding on her roll, the dumb aunt kept her hands on the plate, choosing the right position to press.

A figure flashed, and a woman had already slipped out of the door, and her footsteps ran away, and the dumb aunt was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she was doing. She shook her head silently and smiled bitterly, they were all people who lived in a mill with Qiao's mother, and she didn't expect that at this critical moment, she still chose Mingzhe to protect herself.

Zhou's mother simply became proud, I really don't know if everyone is like this, where does she get the mood to watch the excitement.

The dumb aunt turned around, "Ah Fu, they said that your godmother was pregnant with a freak, I don't believe it, do you believe it?"

Ah Fu was stunned, and saw that the sweat on the white little face under the lamp was wet on his forehead, and the smile came out from the depths of his eyes, shining, so calm, so sincere, Ah Fu suddenly moved in his heart and replied loudly: "Ah Fu doesn't believe it, Ah Fu never believes in those nonsense." ”

"Okay—" the dumb aunt raised her voice, "then let's prepare to deliver the baby! Bluegrass you stay. Ah Fu, you keep the door, if there are any lynx beasts to disturb you, you will knock them out. ”

Ah Fu responded loudly, pulled out a top door stick from behind the door and stood at the door, "Do you want to drive this old pig and dog out?"

The stick refers to Zhou's mother.

She hated Mother Zhou in her heart for defining her godmother, saying what kind of freaks and monsters, so she was immediately unkind to Mother Zhou.

Zhou's mother blushed angrily. "Your girl's family, don't pay attention to what you say, see how you find your in-laws in the future?"

The dumb aunt smiled faintly, "She, just stay, I want her to see with her own eyes whether the freak she said is the reincarnation of a monster." (To be continued.) )
