I don't have any work to do today.

The body was burned for a long time before, and no one died after that except for Uncle Zheng's father and son, so the coffin bearers were idle.

Of course, the same is true of the Chu family. It just so happened that he didn't work today, so he waited at home for Chi Jing to come to him. He had thought about it for most of the night last night, and he had already thought very clearly, he was going to go with this girl.

Although according to what the girl said, he could still stay in Beixian after he came down, and if he had any problems, he could send someone to contact him and ask him for help. But accepting money from people to eliminate disasters for others, taking ten times the amount of silver but doing nothing, such a brazen thing is not something that his Chu family can do.

So he decided to go to the capital with her, and then ask someone to bring the silver back to Beixian every month. In this way, there will be no more tragedies like the children starving to death...

It's just that why hasn't this Chi girl come to him yet? It's all three poles a day. Could it be that Miss Chengchi repented? The Chu family was a little anxious, but they didn't know where to go to her. I wanted to go to the courtyard to see the children, but I was afraid that I would walk away, which made Miss Chi pounce.

Just thinking about it like this, plus I didn't fall asleep until midnight last night, the breeze blew, and the Chu family pulled the thin quilt on the bed and put it on their stomachs, and they slept sweetly.

It was really a good night's sleep. Because he dreamed of the tofu banquet that day, he put the stinky tofu into his mouth one by one, and the Chu family ate happily, and when he was about to wipe the oil and saliva from his mouth, a roar scared him out of bed and under the bed-

"Damn! Come on! Something is wrong! The sister-in-law of the Shen family was born! Something is wrong! ”

...

The Chu family rubbed their worried eyes, and they couldn't come back to their senses. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was Song Wenpo's voice.

What's wrong? He knew that Sister-in-law Shen's baby was about to give birth, and it should have been a matter of the past two days. He deals with coffin dead people all day long, and usually doesn't often go to Brother Shen's house. It's just that it's a good thing that the baby is born, why did Song Wenpo shout several times in a row? Whose life do you want? The sister-in-law of the Shen family or the baby of the Shen family?

Speculation is futile. The Chu family wiped their faces casually, not caring about waiting for Chi Jing's arrival at home, nor caring about their unfortunate identity as a coffin bearer, so they ran out as soon as they took a step.

Brother Shen is a good man and once saved him in the mountains. Brother Shen doesn't always look down on him like other neighbors, for fear that he will attract bad luck. Sister-in-law Shen is also a good person, she always asks Brother Shen to send some old clothes to herself on weekdays, and she will send him a pair of new insoles or something on the first day of the new year every year, probably because she feels that he is alone and can't please his daughter-in-law.

If something really happened to Brother Shen and his wife, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore anything.

Hurriedly came to Brother Shen's house, and found that there was already a large group of people around the door, all of whom were trying to stretch their heads out and look inside, talking, and pointing.

"What's wrong? What happened? The Chu family stepped forward and asked one of them.

The man glanced at him and recognized him as the "Eight Immortals" carrying the coffin. On weekdays, she disdains to deal with these people, and even if these people automatically talk to her, she will find an excuse to walk away.

But today, perhaps the matter of the Shen family's sister-in-law is too shocking, and the gossip nature flowing in the woman's blood drives her to explain it condescendingly.

...

The sister-in-law of the Shen family began to have a pain in her stomach early this morning, and Brother Shen hurriedly found Wen Po, and Wen Po came soon.

Although water is expensive now, fortunately, it is not very water-intensive to give birth to a child, and the water bought is enough to cleanse the child. The eggs on the officers and soldiers have been sold for one or two silver, but Brother Shen treats Sister-in-law Shen very well on weekdays, and now he has taken out his savings for many years to buy water, eggs, and rice noodles, I am afraid that after the child is born, Sister-in-law Shen will faint from hunger due to the physical exhaustion of the baby.

Everything went well, including Shen's sister-in-law's delivery. No more than two hours later, the baby's cry came from the delivery room.

"Congratulations, Brother Shen, your daughter-in-law helped you give birth to a big fat boy! Your Shen family has a queen! Ha ha. "gave birth to a son, then she, the woman who helped deliver the baby, will receive twice as much silver as giving birth to a daughter, of course, Song Wenpo hurriedly opened her throat and reported the good news.

She roughly put the child in an iron basin and washed it, then picked up the blanket that had been put aside a long time ago and wrapped the child, planning to take the child out to the Shen family brother first, and then come back to take care of the Shen family's sister-in-law.

Brother Shen, who was waiting outside the delivery room, was overjoyed when he heard that it was a son, and he smiled from ear to ear. He knew that Song Wenpo would soon take the child out, but he still couldn't help but stare at the curtain tightly, looking through the autumn water.

Unbeknownst to him, a scream came from the room: "Ah! Damn! Freaks! ”

...

Freak? How can a child be a freak? The Chu family was displeased, but they continued to listen patiently.

"And guess what? It turns out that this child of the Shen family has six fingers - six, six! The woman's eyes flashed with fear, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. Her hands clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What is this not a freak?" If you think about it, there have been so many strange things in our Beixian County recently, not to mention that there was a flood that killed so many people for no reason, and now the sister-in-law of the Shen family has given birth to a freak with six fingers! This must be some kind of monster! ”

Six fingers! The Chu family's eyes widened when they heard this, how could this be? I've never heard of a man having six fingers! Even if he didn't think much of what he said, he felt that it was a tricky matter...

It wasn't until they saw Song Wenpo come with the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple that the Chu family was even more sure that the child's life might not be saved!

"Go away! Go away! Brother Shen was guarding outside the delivery room, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression was crazy, one hand was across the door, and the other hand was waving the sickle in his hand at the villagers watching the excitement outside the door.

"Brother Shen, get out of the way! Just after pinching his fingers, this child is a demon star from the sky, and he can't live in this world! "The Taoist priest from the Taoist temple is Yitong, and everyone often sees it when they go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings in the past, so they are not strangers.

“... Shen Lang... Child..."Sister-in-law Shen's weak call came from the room.

"Whoever says my child is a demon star, I will kill him!" Brother Shen felt a pain in his heart and roared again. "He is my son, no matter what he looks like, he is the son of my Shen someone, and it is not your turn to deal with it!"

"Hugh is messing around! If this kid were to cause another flood or fire, would you be responsible? The priest rebuked angrily.

"Whoever says my child is a demon star, I will kill him!" Brother Shen felt a pain in his heart and roared again. "He is my son, no matter what he looks like, he is the son of my Shen someone, and it is not your turn to deal with it!"

"Hugh is messing around! If this kid were to cause another flood or fire, would you be responsible? The priest rebuked angrily. The Channelist rebuked angrily.
