Chapter 14: The Midwife's Secret
After seeing the resentful ghosts of his biological mother, Nie Tong guessed that those flickering phantoms were also ghosts after death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't think that the ghost would harm him for no reason, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now, plus he had the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, so he didn't think much about it, and just pushed the door and walked in. Those "ghosts" heard the sound of the doorway, looked at the door in unison, and when they saw Nie Tong, they immediately dispersed and burrowed into the cracks in the wall. What a bunch of cowards! Nie Tong looked thoughtfully into the room.
The roof was low, the windows were small, and the sun was rising, so the light had not yet slanted into the room, and the room was dimly lit and gloomy. The house is surrounded by four walls, and only one earthen kang is still fighting against the wind and rain that invades from time to time. After years of inhabitation, the paper glued to the windows had been blown away by the wind and rain, and only a few scraps of paper were still glued to the cracked wooden window lattices. The paper on the walls had long since yellowed and crumbled, revealing whitened adobe. The four corners of the house had cracked, and the dark cracks were very scary.
Nie Tong didn't have much sense of identity with this "home", and he didn't care about the dilapidated house when he saw it. The earthen kang is located in the same position as the wooden bed in the cabin, both on the north side. He habitually climbed up the kang and sat in the middle of the kang against the wall. Sensing the ugly bird, the connection was clear and real, indicating that the ugly bird was very close, and he was relieved. With nothing to do, he began to organize his belongings.
The first thing to come out of is a "small tower" that is a little heavy. This thing is the size of a carrot, with knots and ridges, and a blue-white body, with a round hole at the bottom of the tower. He didn't know what it was, so he put it up. Small tower with thirteen sections, eight sides and eight edges, pyramidal. There is a gourd on the spire, which is connected to the small tower.
When I first discovered it, I studied it, but at that time I was not used to observing it with my divine sense. Now with the divine sense, I still can't see through the tower. This made him wonder. His divine sense could see through the thick walls of the outside world, but he couldn't see through this small tower as thin as a turnip! However, the more he couldn't see through it, the more it aroused his curiosity.
If you can't see through the tower, then look at the bottom of the tower. The Divine Consciousness looked inside along the hole, and he immediately saw a vast and boundless world. Hey? Why is there so much space inside? Strange, he looked deeper. The consciousness is manipulated by the mind and sees farther and farther. When he reached the extreme of what his divine consciousness could see, he saw a glittering golden "tower" character. The word is bigger than a house, and it is even more dazzling when it is pasted on the dark rock wall.
"Tower"? Is this thing called a "tower"? And what is a "tower"? Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly felt a familiar spiritual fluctuation coming from the depths, as if calling him.
How can this feel so familiar? It's not black, it's ...... Mother? As soon as he thought that it might be his mother's mother, Nie Tong became anxious. His eyes widened, and he focused, looking intently, hoping to clear his doubts. It's a pity that he couldn't see anything in the depths until he stared his eyes tired. But he still wouldn't give up, just staring straight into the distance.
Perhaps it is because of the excessive use of the eyes, which depletes the essence and energy in the eyeballs, and the innate true qi from other places in the body is replenished along the meridians, resulting in the flow of true qi in the meridians. The flow of true qi drove the whirlpool in the dantian, and the operation of the whirlpool drove the rotation of the elixir. In this way, the true qi in the body is centered on the dantian and automatically operates in the meridians of the whole body. A wisp of dantian qi flowed upstream, quickly replenishing into the eyeballs.
At this time, the pupils in his eyes coincided, his eyes instantly lit up, and his gaze shot deeper like lightning, and he saw a word in the depths - "ghost". This word also shines with dazzling golden light, but it is much smaller than the word "tower". The moment he saw the word "ghost" clearly, he felt that the familiar mental fluctuations seemed to be coming from the word "ghost". It's just that the light shining with the word "ghost" is too bright for him to see what is on it.
His heavy pupils only lasted for a breath before they instantly dispersed, and he could no longer see everything inside the tower. A deeper exhaustion filled his eyes, and he involuntarily closed them. The eyes are too tired, and the self-protection mode is automatically turned on.
When he meditated cross-legged and closed his eyes to recuperate, his mind raced: one of the souls of my mother's relatives and the other was black things. Could it be that my mother really ran into this thing? So why didn't she come out? "Tower...... Ghost", is this thing called a "tower ghost"? No, I'm looking backwards, so it should be called the "Ghost Tower". "Ghost Tower"? Could it be that this thing is specially used to pretend to be ghosts? Ah! Mother's mother can't be put in and can't get out, right? Thinking of this, he was even more anxious.
But what's the use of being in a hurry? He can't even see clearly now, so what can he do? Blame yourself for not having enough skills! Maybe...... Can the master have a way? Nie Tong couldn't rest assured, so he wanted to get up and go to the master. He opened his eyes but didn't feel the light, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. In desperation, I had to continue to close my eyes and recuperate, striving to see the road as soon as possible, so that I could go to the master to solve the problem.
The "ghosts" in the gap saw Nie Tong sitting still, and they all showed their heads again. Some bared their teeth, some stuck out their tongues, and some grimaced at Nie Tong...... It's all weird. Nie Tong was over-consumed in his spirit and spirit, and his divine sense couldn't see, so he couldn't see all kinds of "ghost looks", so he didn't care about being afraid.
The "ghosts" saw that the intimidation was ineffective, and Nie Tong did not react, so they all pounced on them boldly. Some bite their noses, some bite their ears, some pinch their necks, and some bite the "little brother" under Nie Tong...... But they don't have actual bodies, and their physical attack power is too bad, and they can't do much damage for a while.
Nie Tong felt something strange on his body, so he waved the small tower to drive it away. A few unlucky "ghosts" were unfortunately circled by the circle at the bottom of the small tower and never reappeared. This phenomenon was discovered by other "ghosts", and they immediately dispersed, grinning and threatening in the distance, but they never dared to approach again.
After a while, a "ghost" dared to float to the bottom of the small tower to see what was going on, but as soon as he got close to the round hole, he was sucked in. Seeing this, the other "ghosts" fled in panic and hid in the cracks.
The setting sun hides into the mountains, and the night covers the mountain village. Nie Tong's eyes had not fully recovered, his vision was blurry, and his divine sense was difficult to reach. He had no choice but to continue meditating and recovering, consuming the long night...... Old man Lu has been busy and has no time to pay attention to him.
Deep in the mountain col, in the small courtyard where the midwife was, a dense peach tree almost covered the entire courtyard. The house is not high, and the only window is blocked by bricks. At this moment, in the dead of night, a few dog barks were heard in the distance, and the silence of the night became more and more apparent. However, in the small courtyard, ghosts swayed, bringing gusts of gloomy wind. Countless ghosts floated in the air, looking at the door in unison, silently waiting for something.
The lonely old man sitting against the wall at the entrance of the village glanced into the depths of the village, sighed, closed his eyes again, and sighed to himself: "Yang Hua...... My Yang Hua ...... You...... When will I be back......"
The "Yang Hua" in the old man's mouth is the only midwife in the village. The old man and Yang Hua were originally a loving couple, the man was handsome, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower. The two of them were in love with each other and respected each other like guests. The only regrettable thing is that the two have never had an heir, but the two have never left each other and have become more and more affectionate. It is precisely because of this that the people in the village are even more envious and praised.
Unexpectedly, thirty years ago, Yang Hua inexplicably got a serious illness, and Old Man Lu happened to be not in the village. The old man was anxious, but he had no choice but to sigh alone and weep secretly at his wife, who was sometimes shouting and moaning in pain.
The condition lasted only two days, and Yang Hua miraculously got better again. At that time, a young daughter-in-law was giving birth to a difficult birth, and the midwife in the village died at this time. Yang Hua, who coincided with the meeting, was very bold to deliver the baby for the woman and let the woman give birth to a son smoothly. Since then, Yang Hua has naturally become an indispensable midwife in the village.
However, Yang Hua, who was well from illness, changed her temperament greatly, not only making a big noise at her husband, but also kicking her husband out of the house. Not only that, but Yang Hua, who still has the lingering charm, began to hook up with each other, constantly introducing men with excess energy into the family to enjoy themselves. And some men were as if they were fascinated, and they kept sneaking into the courtyard one after another, and did the unscrupulous things in a daze.
And Yang Hua, who is nearly fifty years old, was moistened by the rain and dew, and miraculously returned to her youth. The wrinkles have decreased, the skin has become smooth, and it looks like it is in its early thirties, and it looks like a ripe peach, which is more and more attractive. For a time, wild bees and butterflies swarmed, day and night.
Although the husband was kicked out of the house, he was reluctant to leave. He wandered outside his house all day, and naturally noticed that something was wrong. In order to maintain his wife's reputation and save his face, the husband in his early fifties had to swallow his anger and secretly beg and persuade his wife to change her mind.
However, whether he persuaded with tears or pleaded with his chest, it was to no avail. Yang Hua is like a long worm that eats and weighs it - with an iron heart, it still does its own thing. For her husband's obstruction, she also secretly instructed those wild bees and butterflies to teach him a lesson. The nose is blue and the face is swollen, and the bones are broken and tendons are broken.
The people of Liuhua Village gradually discovered the anomaly. However, whether it is a tactful persuasion or a witness awakening on the spot, all of these people have been taught a lesson, and they will lose their due memory afterwards. Many women and their families wanted to crusade against her collectively, but they had no choice but to give up because of the lack of evidence.
Although this Yang Hua behaved inappropriately, every time she delivered a baby, she was able to complete it smoothly, which made everyone happy. Therefore, many people turned a blind eye to her behavior. What's more, although this Yang Hua is happy with people, she never asks too much, and will not cause too much harm to the man. Besides, the village can't be without a stable woman who delivers babies, so I have no choice but to go with the flow.
When Old Man Lu returned to the village, Yang Hua suddenly reined in and didn't dare to mess around anymore, but still didn't let her husband step into the house. The husband went to ask Old Man Lu to intercede, but Old Man Lu shook his head and refused, claiming that he only managed to heal the disease, regardless of the entanglement of human feelings. The husband had already seen that this Yang Hua was no longer the other Yang Hua, but he had nothing to do, so he had to stay at the entrance of the village, hoping that his wife could return to the warmth of the past. It has been kept until now, and it has reached the age of old age!
The door opened, and the midwife jumped up to the roof, and immediately commanded the ghosts swaying in the courtyard: The old man at the entrance of the village will sooner or later spoil the good deeds of the old lady, and you should get rid of him now! The new child, the old lady doesn't like it, you get rid of it as soon as possible, you really can't get rid of it...... Get rid of it, too!
"Yes, Immortal." The ghosts in the courtyard nodded together, quickly split into two groups, and quickly floated away......
