Chapter 311: Drowning Babies
The village chief's mother-in-law followed the comer, and Xu Qingyan's old god was sitting on the chair, but her divine sense secretly followed.
She was very suspicious that the one who had just come to invite someone was the second abductor in the west of the village that the village chief's mother-in-law had mentioned before.
In his sense, the village chief's mother-in-law did walk with the man to the west of the village, and finally stopped in front of a fenced courtyard.
From time to time, the mother's shouts came from the three half-new thatched houses, and the village chief's mother-in-law walked in quickly, and then she could hear her say to the same mother: "You are not so fast for the first child, don't scream, save some strength first, and you will listen to my instructions to give birth quickly." ”
Well, not this one? Xu Qingyan was stunned.
At this moment, I heard a woman's shout from a thatched house next door, and the two boys in the courtyard looked into the room from time to time, their little faces full of panic.
In the house, a pregnant woman with a big belly was struggling to give birth, and an old woman at the end of the bed looked at the mother with a drooping face, and there was no joy on her face that she was about to add Ding.
As the mother screamed that the fetus was separated from the body, the old woman took the child out, glanced at the lower body, and her already ugly face sank a little more in an instant.
After taking the scissors on the side and cutting the umbilical cord with a click, he didn't scrub and wrap the child, and shouted out of the door with an impatient face: "Old man, bring a basin of water." ”
There were two men standing outside the door, one old and one young, and when they heard this, their faces sank, and the old one shook his head and walked towards the kitchen.
When Xu Qingyan saw this scene, she immediately had a bad premonition, and then Huo Ran got up and rushed out of the village chief's house.
"County Lord....."
"Miss...."
The crowd shouted.
Wu Tianyou paused and immediately chased out, and Luo Qiancheng followed closely when he saw this.
If she goes, Lin Zifeng and Xiao Zihe will naturally not stay.
Seeing this, the others looked at each other and didn't know whether to chase them, and after hesitating for a moment, they chased after them.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the village chief wiped his sweat and stood up, secretly guessing in his heart what had happened, and let the county lord run out regardless of his manners.
"Old man, is the water coming?" The old woman in the delivery room was urging impatiently.
The baby girl who had just given birth on the side was still naked, and her limbs were kicking around.
"It's coming, it's coming." The old man in the old woman's mouth carried a basin of cold water by the door and did not go in.
A young man in the courtyard was turning his head to look away, as if he couldn't bear to see the scene that was about to happen, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
The old woman passed the basin from the door, turned back to the inner room and said with a wooden face: "The second family, don't blame the old woman for being ruthless, your baby is a female baby, and you know the situation of our family....." She didn't say the latter words, so that the mother could understand herself.
The mother on the bed was numb when she heard this, and she turned a deaf ear to the old woman's words.
The child crying at the end of the bed did not affect her in the slightest, as if the person who gave birth just now was not her, and what was going to happen in the room had nothing to do with her.
The old woman put the wooden basin on the wooden table in the room, hugged the baby girl with a calm face, came to the table with her head down and buttocks up, and read: "If you want to blame, blame yourself for the wrong fetus, and in the next life, keep your eyes open, and remember to go to the rich and noble family." “
Hearing the sound, the mother on the bed finally reacted, but she did not make a sound to stop it, but turned her head inward and covered her ears with both hands, indicating that she didn't want to see or hear.
Two crystal tears slipped quietly from the corners of his eyes.
When the child's face was about to touch the water, there was an exclamation from the courtyard, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
A figure flashed in, snatched the child before the old woman could react, and then quickly walked to the wooden box at the end of the bed, and took out a clean dress and wrapped it for the child.
"Who are you, what do you want to do when you come to my house!" The old man and the man in the courtyard chased after him and asked.
"What are you doing, I'd like to ask what you're doing!" Xu Qingyan's face was full of anger, "Drowning babies, according to the law of this dynasty, you will be sentenced to fifty canes, you are so bold." “
As soon as they heard this, the two crutches and their families suddenly turned white.
The old woman slowed down and shouted, "Who are you, what nonsense, we don't understand what kind of drowning babies." ”
"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's going on?" Luo Qiancheng jumped in from the outside.
, Wu Tianyou and others followed.
"You.... You ......" The two crutches and their family were terrified and inexplicably watched as more and more people crowded into their fence yard.
Seeing Xu Qingyan holding a child in her hand, Luo Qiancheng stepped forward and said curiously: "Hey, where did this child come from.....?" “
Xu Qingyan stared at the old woman with a frosty face and said, "The newborn child in this family, if I hadn't come in time, she would have drowned. “
"Ah, what?" Luo Qiancheng exclaimed, and then pointed to the second crutch family and said angrily: "You are still not human, such a young child can do it." ”
"Who are you, come to my house one by one, and be nosy." The old woman glared angrily.
"Hey, you're going to kill someone, we can't take care of it yet?" Luo Qiancheng stared back with his hands on his hips.
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I kill someone, who did I kill." The old woman's voice retorted with a slight distraction.
"She." Luo Qiancheng pointed to the child in Xu Qingyan's arms and said, "You almost killed her just now, this basin is proof." “
"What evidence, we called this basin of water to wipe the child's body, and the newborn child is dirty."
The old woman refused to admit it, and she was really frightened by Xu Qingyan's words.
"Hmph, wipe the body, who will wash the newborn child with cold water." Xu Qingyan said coldly.
"What kind of cold water, it was obviously warm before, but it was you who rushed in and stirred it up, so that the water was delayed and cold." The old woman was full of words.
"Do you think it's useful to be cunning, your family hasn't done this once or twice, everyone in Luojia Village knows it, do you want me to find someone to ask." Xu Qingyan is most annoyed by this kind of person who is cunning in strong words.
The old woman was dumbfounded.
"There's nothing to say, there is a way that tigers don't eat children, and you are not even as good as animals." Luo Qiancheng angrily accused.
At this time, the mother, who had not spoken on the bed, spoke leisurely: "If the girl really likes this child, take her away." “
Luo Qiancheng looked over in surprise, only to see the woman turn her head, a little hopeful and desolate: "If the girl can't be taken away, it will be difficult to escape this fate in the future if she stays, it is better to die early and be reincarnated." “
Luo Qiancheng was shocked, as if he didn't expect the woman to say this, and after being stunned for a while, Fang Wei was embarrassed: "I.. I won't take kids. “
When the woman heard this, the glimmer of hope hidden in her eyes was annihilated again.
"I want this kid." Xu Qingyan opened her voice domineeringly.
Everyone in the family was extremely indifferent to the child, including the child's own mother.
The child's own mother, when her mother-in-law was about to drown the child, did not stop her in words and actions, such actions were really chilling, and her words did not prove anything.
A person who can watch his own child being killed and be indifferent, whether cowardly or ruthless, is not a qualified mother.
She can't compare to Hu Xiuniang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, at least that woman has tried her best to protect the child. 2k reading web
