Volume 1: A Mess After the Crossing Chapter 3: A Bizarre Legend (1)
One day, eighteen years ago, the weather was not very good, and there was a strong wind blowing all day, and the wind swept up the sand and dust on the ground, and it was dark, as if the end of the world was coming. Fortunately, the wind stopped near evening, although the wind stopped, but the sky was still yellow and gray, and there was no scene to be seen a few feet away, and the sky and the earth were full of flying dust.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the far side of the dirt road, and it was audible that it was a team of horses.
After a while, a group of black-clothed knights emerged from the dust and mist, and this group of knights maintained a certain constant distance and neat formation in the process, and it could be seen that this was a well-trained cavalry.
In the middle of the queue drove an extremely large and luxurious caravan, driven by three tall and sturdy horses, and at a glance it was obvious that it was one of ten thousand horses.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the car, the man was about fifty years old and wearing a purple robe, with a long face, white skin, eyes like electricity, and a look of no anger and self-authority.
The woman is in her twenties, with high temples and graceful demeanor, a pair of distant mountain-like eyebrows, a gallbladder-like nose, bright red cherry lips, fair and delicate skin, crystal like jade, especially the beautiful eyes, clear and deep, with an irresistible, dare not look up brilliance, flowing waves, enough to captivate the city and the country.
But what disgraced her was that under her fat plain white skirt, she had a mountain-like belly, which looked like she was about to give birth.
The car suddenly jolted, and the woman hurriedly put her hands on her stomach and frowned with a pained look on her face.
Seeing this, the purple-robed man asked with concern: Feng Niang, what's wrong, are you uncomfortable again?
Feng Niang slowly stretched out her frowning eyebrows and said: It's not in the way, the car bumped just now, and I was in a little pain.
Hearing this, the purple-robed man's face sank, turned his head and shouted loudly: Wu Gang, drive the car steadily, your housewife is being turned upside down.
A man's voice came from outside the car: Yes, the emperor...... Ah, the head of the house.
Feng Niang hurriedly said: The road is not easy to walk, and I can't complain about them.
The purple-robed man looked at Feng Niang with loving eyes and sighed lightly: Alas! I really shouldn't have taken you out on this northern tour, but I really can't rest assured to leave you in the palace, I hope I can rush back to the palace in time, but don't be born on the road.
Hearing this, Feng Niang smiled and said: No, there are still more than ten days left.
It's hard to say, God has the final say on giving birth to a child, it's not that you have to be pregnant in October, you have to get a day to give birth, some are not born seven months prematurely, and some are born in eleven months or even twelve months, and it is rumored that Daozu Laozi was born in twelve months.
As soon as Feng Niang's words landed, I saw her suddenly stretch out her hands to hold her belly, and a painful moan came out of her mouth.
Seeing this, the purple-robed man asked in surprise: Feng Niang, are you ...... Are you in pain again, are you being turned upside down again?
Feng Niang frowned tightly and said with a painful expression: This ...... I'm afraid not this time, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that the emperor will say that I want to ...... I'm going to give birth on the road, ah...... Pain.
Hearing this, the purple-robed man thought for a moment, lifted the curtain of the car and shouted: Someone!
As the purple-robed man's shout landed, he saw a black-clothed knight riding out of the team behind him and bowed to the car, and asked carefully: What does the head of the house command?
The purple-robed man in the car window asked, "What is this place?"
The black-clothed knight hurriedly said: "Master of the family, this is the boundary of Tiangui Mountain, not far from Tiangui Town.
The purple-robed man's voice in the car window turned sharply: What is the concept of not far, and how much distance is there?
The black-clothed knight hurriedly said: "Master of the family, there are still more than twenty miles away.
The purple-robed man immediately ordered: Tell the people in front to speed up their march.
Hearing this, the black knight hurriedly responded: Obey!
Urging the horse to rush forward.
After a while, the speed of the procession increased.
As the speed of the team accelerated, the pain of Feng Niang in the car just now quickly passed, and her brows were gently and slowly relaxed, but she didn't know that this was just the first prenatal pain she was going to give birth, and the bigger pain was still to come.
The purple-robed man put a hand on Feng Niang's belly and gently touched it: Little guy, don't rush out, we haven't arrived home yet.
Hearing this, Feng Niang laughed with a "snort", and said with a smile: It seems that you have the final say.
Hearing this, the purple-robed man smiled faintly and said proudly: Of course, I have the final say, I am asking, what is not my say in the whole world.
He is the emperor, of course, he has the final say in worldly matters, but the matter of having a child is not a mundane matter, it is a heavenly fate, even if it is a fairy, it may not necessarily have the final say.
After that, he looked at Feng Niang's belly lovingly, and said in a soft voice: Little guy, you have to listen to me, otherwise as soon as you come out, I will order someone to beat your board.
As soon as the purple-robed man's words fell, Feng Niang suddenly straightened her stomach and let out a painful moan.
Seeing this, the purple-robed man's face showed a panicked look and said urgently: What's the matter, is it starting to hurt again?
Hearing this, Feng Niang nodded, and said with a very painful expression: Once ...... It hurts worse than the first time, and it seems that the little guy is really ...... I'm really going to be in a hurry to come out, I ...... Yes......
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cry of pain from her mouth.
The purple-robed man hurriedly lifted the curtains again, poked his head out of the car window and looked out.
There is a forest not far from the right side of the road, and a car road opens in the middle of the forest.
After seeing it, the purple-robed man hurriedly shouted loudly: Someone!
As the purple-robed man's shout landed, the black-clothed knight just now rode over again, bowed to the man in the window and said: The subordinates are here, what does the head of the family command?
The purple-robed man pointed to the forest with his hand and ordered: Order the team to stop advancing, enclose the forest on the right, and not let anyone in.
The black knight hurriedly replied: Obey!
With that, he urged the horse to run away.
Immediately after, the purple-robed man shouted an order to the driver in front: Wu Gang, drive the car into the woods.
Hearing this, Wu Gang, who was driving, hurriedly responded: Obey!
Then, with a tug of the rope in his right hand, he turned out of the lane and drove towards the woods.
The car stopped in a clearing in the woods.
The black-clothed knight rode to the front of the car again, bowed and said loudly to the car: "Lord, this forest has been tightly sealed by our men and horses, what else does the master of the house command?"
Hearing this, the purple-robed man pushed open the door and jumped out of the car, tidied up his clothes, and then ordered the black-clothed knight: You take a few people to Tiangui Town in front to find a midwife for me, be quick.
Hearing this, the black knight hurriedly responded: Obey!
Instead, he rode away quickly.
The so-called Tiangui Town is actually a large village with hundreds of households, and the reason why it is called a town is because there are more than a dozen shops selling things in this village, that is, shops, and a market selling agricultural and sideline products, as well as several inns and a firewood market specializing in selling firewood.
Since there are shops, inns and bazaars, there is no shortage of management departments, so the official family has set up a town office in this town, which is not only in charge of taxes, but also in charge of lawsuits and lawsuits of the local people.
At the east end of the town there is a five-room blue brick house that looks very dilapidated, although it is almost noon, but the door is still closed, I don't know if the owner is not at home, or the owner is too lazy and still sleeping. Some of the townsfolk who passed by shook their heads with a smile as they looked at the still closed gate.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of horses' hooves came from the west side of the road, and after a while, five black-clothed knights came to the front of this house and stopped, and then the five knights jumped off their horses, and one of the knights led by stopped an old man passing by, and pointed to the house with his hand and asked politely: "This uncle, I would like to ask you about someone, does the midwife in your town live in this house?"
Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Yes, I will live here."
The black-clothed knight turned his head to look at the closed door and couldn't help but wonder and said, "Hey, why is the door closed, isn't the midwife at home?"
