"Ahh

At the end of the path sat a low room, and in the gray blue morning mist, four shamans wearing ghostly faces and black feathered robes were shouting loudly in front of the door. One moment they stomped their feet, the next they raised their hands, and the next they hugged each other and raised their heads and shouted. I knew it was the witches driving away the demons that coveted the mortal fetus, but their horrible voices mixed with the vague smell of blood in the air sent shivers down my spine.

"Who are you?" At this moment, a plain-clothed maid came out of me with a basin of hot water that was bubbling with a white mist.

"Hello sister, I'm a witch from Taishi Mansion, and I'm here to save people."

"Oh, from the Taishi Mansion? The main entrance here is not open, so let's enter with me through the small door. The maid glanced at me and walked slowly towards the hut with the hot water. Her steps were gentle, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a hint of joy between her eyebrows.

"Sister, can you go faster, the matter of saving people can't be delayed!" I took two quick steps past her, "Where's the door?" In the back of the house? ”

"The one in the house has done too many evil things on weekdays, and this time God is going to take her in. Shrine maiden, no matter how anxious you are, it's useless. Instead of pointing the way, the servant stopped and waved behind me with a smile: "Hey—here, here, what's going on inside?" ”

As soon as I turned around, a little maid in blue with a horn came from the opposite side. She was holding a small basin in her hand, and when she saw me, she was stunned at first, and then nodded at the plain-clothed maid beside me: "It's gone, you see-"

She tilted the small basin in her hand slightly, and I fixed my eyes to see that in the copper basin was a bloody fetus that had already taken shape. The small body of the fetus's round head was soaked in blood, and as the little maid moved, it continued to tremble and rise. I squatted down with my mouth covered, and my stomach turned over for a moment.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, it's okay, the little witch sent by the Taishi Mansion. By the way, the widow is still sitting inside? ”

"Well, you have to sit down until the woman dies before ......" The little maid in blue saw me stand up, her face changed, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

"Shrine maiden, the small door is next to the cypress tree in front, knock on the knocker three times, and the person inside will open the door for you." The plain-clothed maid pulled her companion aside to talk, and showed me the way.

I was dressed in a coarse hemp skirt at the moment, and my face was darkened, and these two little maids only regarded me as the lowest witch in the Taishi Mansion, so they didn't care about my existence at all, and they bit their ears on the side.

Before Doctor Candle returned to Jin, I don't know what Mi Cao did in Candle Mansion with the favor of Candle Tree, but when the two little maids looked at the small body in the blood and smiled, I seemed to see the happy face of the evil ghost through their faces.

Mi Cao, what exactly did you do to these people? And what have these people done to you?!

I have been pregnant with a child for so many months, how can I kneel down and fall, I have always felt that the daughter of the postal family is pitiful, but now it seems that this noble girl who grew up in the high wall and deep courtyard, I am afraid that none of them are truly pure and harmless.

I let out a long sigh in my heart and raised my hand to knock on the knocker.

The one who opened the door was an old woman with a wrinkled face, and after she learned that I was a witch sent by the Taishi Mansion, she glanced at me coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Didn't you say that you couldn't come, why did you come again?" Wait here until I have ...... the widow."

I admit that I don't like Mi Cao, and before I stepped into this mansion, I even felt that Candle Chun shouldn't have snubbed his wife for a woman like Mi Cao who only sought power, but at this time, listening to the strange tone of the old woman, and thinking of the smile on the face of the little maid outside the door, a nameless fire suddenly burned in my heart. What's to be done? After killing the child, do you have to boil the woman who lost the child to death? No matter how resentful you are, human life is still human life after all!

"I'll go in by myself, don't bother Mama!" I pushed the old woman away and strode in.

Searching for the strong smell of blood, I quickly found Mi Cao's room. On the bed, Mi Cao's face faded to blood, the pair of phoenix eyes that were originally looking forward to life were tightly closed, and her long cloud-like hair was mixed with blood and sweat and draped on the pillow.

The sweltering and smelly air filled this room less than six paces wide, and I held my breath and wanted to reach out to open the small window on the wall, but I was stopped by the old woman who ran in tremblingly: "Presumptuous! Ruren, this witch from Taishi Mansion doesn't know the rules too much! ”

"Mama, you go out." A soft voice floated out of the corner of the room. I know this voice, it belongs to a woman with a gentle face, a woman with only her husband in her eyes.

"Since the witch is a person sent by Taishi, she naturally knows that this place is filthy, and it is unlucky to open the window for fear of blood stains." Candle Tree's wife, Qiongnu, walked slowly in front of me, wearing a dark brown robe with a red edge phoenix pattern, and one hand was weakly resting on her slightly bulging lower abdomen.

"I've seen widows." I put down my hand and saluted, and said in my heart, Yin Duo is right, the daughter of the postal family is really pregnant.

"The woman on the bed is a concubine in the house, who has just been aborted. At this point, it seems that people are dying. I'm afraid the witch will have to run for nothing today. ”

"Dare to ask the widow, when did this concubine come out with blood?" I lifted the quilt on the bed and took a look, and under Mi Cao, blood of different shades soaked through the mattress.

"I don't know this, it's a concubine who made a mistake, and she knelt in the courtyard for a day, and no one saw when the blood came out. But don't panic, if the witch can't be cured, the head of the family won't blame ......"

As Qiong Nu spoke, I had already taken the hot water on the table and mixed it with perilla mugwort leaf pills and made a bowl of soup and medicine.

"The witch's hand is really too fast, hey, it's a pity that Taishi's medicine. This woman is now unconscious, and she cannot drink medicine. "Qiong Nu walked to me with a frown, and didn't mention saving people, but it was a pity that the pill came first.

"Since the little girl has adjusted the medicine, there is naturally a way to make people wake up."

"Oh?" Qiong Nu's face froze, but soon regained her soft color, "The medicine given by Taishi is naturally the best, and the lover was rude in the house earlier and disturbed Taishi, but I didn't expect that Taishi not only blamed, but also specially sent the witch to deliver the medicine in the house, which is really kind." The lover is now thinking about it behind closed doors, and my husband and wife will definitely come to the door to apologize to Taishi another day...... Shrine maiden, the woman has been bleeding all night, can she really get better if she drinks your medicine? ”

Qiong Nu Dong Laxi said a lot of polite words, and what she wanted to ask was nothing more than this last sentence.

"Perilla and mugwort leaves have the effect of stopping bleeding. Although the child is gone, the adults may be able to keep it. ”

"Perilla and mugwort leaves have such a miraculous effect? Let me see! Qiong Nu reached out and took the medicine bowl, "Oops-" She had just picked up the pottery bowl, and the next moment she had let go of her hand.

"Be careful—" I had anticipated her scheming, and the hand waiting at the bottom caught the pottery bowl steadily, "Be careful, if you drop this bowl, there will be no extra medicinal soup to save people." ”

"I was careless, I didn't expect this water to be so hot...... Qiong Nu laughed apologetically, reached out and stroked her sideburns, and sat down on the bed.

I reached out and touched Mi Cao's forehead, probed her pulse with my fingers, turned to Qiongnu and said, "The widow is pregnant, it is better to go outside to breathe first, and give it to the little girl here." ”

"No, I'll just wait here, you don't have to worry about me." Qiong Nu shook her head, and her eyes were fixed on me, as if she wanted to read Mi Cao's life and death from my face.

This is a war between two women, and the wife sitting in front of her, although she has defeated her opponent, she is still nervous and panicked. What the blue-clothed maid didn't say just now may be the word "rest assured", and the widow will always sit down until the woman is out of breath before she can rest assured.

Just as I was sighing and sighing, a roar from a candle suddenly came from outside the window: "Take this pot away for me, this is not my child!" You lied to me! Mi Cao - Mi Cao - "

Mi Cao, who was unconscious on the bed, seemed to hear her lover's cry, and frowned and muttered lowly.

Seeing that she was reacting, I quickly took out the sachet with the herbs in my sleeve and patted her under her nose twice.

"Uh-" Mi Cao gasped sharply and opened her eyes.

Mi Cao opened her eyes and jumped up in shock, she frowned, and blurted out: "Why did she wake up!" ”

Although Mi Cao's eyes were open, the two pupils were still misty, and she didn't seem to be able to see me and Qiongnu, so she only turned her head desperately to search for the voice of the candle: "Zhen Box...... ......She called her lover's name with trembling lips, tears rolling out like beads of broken thread.

"Mi Cao—" The voice of the candle rushed into my ears with a loud bang, and the wooden lattice on the wall had been split in half by his sword.

"No! The head of the house commanded......"

"Get out—" Outside the window, the angry Candle Chun kicked away a guard who tried to grab him, "Go back and tell the old man that I will die today and I will not leave here!" With that, he tore off a broken rope from his neck and threw it to the ground, and with his hands propped up, he was about to jump into the house.

"You're crazy! You can't come in! Facing the candle with a sinister face, Qiong Nu didn't know where she got the courage, so she rushed forward regardless of it, and stopped the window with her arms outstretched, "Grandpa won't let you in, you will be severely punished if you escape!" ”

"You go away!" Candlestick rolled over and jumped in, pushing aside his wife who was standing in front of him with one hand.

"No, you can't!" Qiong Nu staggered a step, turned around and grabbed the sleeve of the candle coffin reluctantly, "Don't forget, she is your aunt, your aunt!" ”

"Yes, she's my aunt, but I don't care now, I don't care! Let everyone in the world laugh at me! Don't you think I don't know what you've done? You said let me give you a child, and I gave you a child, but what did you promise me? What did you say to him on the day of the post? What did you say to the old man? Why won't you let us go? Why did you harm her like this! Candle Chu grabbed Qiong Nu's shoulder and shook it vigorously.

Qiongnu was stunned by the roar of the candlestick, her eyes widened, her face pale, and her slender shoulders seemed to be crushed by the angry candlestick in the next moment.

But just when I thought she was about to faint, Qiong Nu suddenly went crazy and broke away from the candlestick's hand, she took two steps back while holding her stomach, and shouted at her beloved husband: "She forced me, she came to harm me first, why don't you ask her what she did!" ”

"What did she do? She just wants to live with dignity! ”

"But I just want to live, I just want my children to live!"

"But now you've killed her, and you've killed my child!"

I stood aside with the medicine bowl in my hand, and this heartbreaking, high-pitched roar had completely made me lose the ability to judge. The surging emotions around them swept through the hut like a swift storm in the summer, and the three people in the center of the storm were already completely depleted.
