Chapter 790: A Succession of Dead Babies
Ye Wuxin is not a person who is good at expression, and he is not the opponent of a fat man at all in this kind of debate, so he was speechless at this time, so he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
The fat man didn't say anything about it, so he picked one or two things about carpenters from his own experience and said them again, and Wu and a few people were also happy to listen, on the one hand, the process of riding the car was too boring, on the other hand, after understanding the carpenter, there might be some unexpected inspiration when he arrived in the woodman village.
The bus stopped and went, and after more than an hour, it finally arrived in Mumian County.
Several people got out of the car one after another, and then set off towards the direction of Muren Village, in addition to Wan Qian, Wu and a few people are the first time to come to Mumian County, here is really the same as the outside world described, the best word to describe here, is 'comfortable', there are shops and stalls selling wooden handicrafts on every street, it looks very harmonious.
Most of the people who buy these things are outsiders who come here to play, Wu and a few people walked and watched, walked through a few old streets, and after appreciating the local characteristics in the fastest time, they called an electric earth tricycle waiting on the side of the road, negotiated the price, and a few people got on the carriage of the tricycle and drove to the direction of Muren Village.
It's just that when the master who drove the three wheels knew that Wu Yi and the others were going to Muren Village, his face suddenly showed an indescribable expression, some were embarrassed, some were surprised, and some were a little afraid.
Wu felt strange when he saw this, so he chatted with the old master in the dialect of Canglang City, preparing to inquire about the affairs of the wooden village from the side.
The master was surprised when he heard Wu Yi with a local accent, looked sideways at Wu Yi's figure in the tricycle rearview mirror, and said,
"I thought you were all from out of town to play here, but I didn't expect you to be a local. Then since you are a local, you must also know that there have been strange things in the Muren Village in the past few years, so what are you going to do? Isn't that looking for something to do? ”
The fat man sat in the carriage, poked Wu with his elbow, and asked in a low voice,
"Hey, Xiao Wu, I've heard you always say that a few years ago, there was a strange incident in Muren Village, which caused the entire village to move away...... I forgot to ask you before, what is the strange thing? Is it haunted? ”
Wu Yi shook his head a little embarrassedly and said
"I've only heard of strange things in it, but I really don't know what the strange things are, I didn't expect to come here before, so I haven't inquired deeply."
After that, he asked the old master in dialect again, and told him that he was not from Mumian County, but from Canglang City, and he was not very clear about the strange things, I don't know if you can explain it in detail.
The old master said 'oh' before saying,
"It turns out that you are a doll from Canglang City, and it is not close to here, so it is not uncommon for you to not know.
For that matter, we are very strict here, and generally do not tell outsiders, except for the locals in Mumian County, few people in the nearby counties know the specific situation.
Because I am afraid that if the matter spreads, others will be too scared to come to our Mumian County to buy wood, then we will lose a lot of money, and we are still counting on this to live.
So, don't ask. ”
The fat man knew this well, stretched out his arm and handed the old master a cigarette, let him drive while smoking, and said a lot of good things, swore not to pass on what he heard, and finally added some car money, and finally knew from the old master's mouth what the so-called strange thing meant.
After the tricycle left the street, it went on the potholed dirt road, and the carriage began to jolt violently, and Wu and a few people curled up in the carriage, but their attention was attracted by the old master, so they didn't feel how difficult the road was.
The old master took a cigarette in his mouth and said, that strange thing has to start from three or four years ago.
Three or four years ago, Muren Village was still a very quiet and peaceful small village, and life in the village was no different from before, the only difference was that that day was the day when a woman in the village gave birth.
The population of Muren Village is not large, and every family is very harmonious, so someone in the village has a child, and the whole village knows that many people go to that house to say hello, but who knows, this is a good thing in itself, but in the end, it makes the people in the village silent, because after the woman gave birth to the child, she found that it was a stillborn child, and there was no sign of life at all.
Giving birth to a stillborn child, if it was in ancient times, it would definitely be regarded as a bad omen, but in today's medically advanced world, giving birth to a stillborn is actually not a rare thing.
Pregnant women during pregnancy placenta detachment or early water breakage caused by infection, which may lead to fetal death in the mother's body, at that time the doctor invited by Muren Village to tell the reasons for these possible stillbirths, the villagers also understood what was going on, so although everyone felt sorry in their hearts, but as time passed, they gradually forgot about this matter.
Until another woman in the village gave birth.
The old master spat out a puff of smoke and said,
"I know this woman, I set up a stall to sell small wooden gadgets before running three wheels, and I bought them all from this woman's house, so I know her very well."
The master described that this woman was a very capable person, her body had always been very healthy, and she was no worse than the men in the village when she did farm work, but what was unexpected was that after she gave birth to the child that day, the midwife saw that it was also a dead baby with no signs of life at all, and it was a stillborn baby!
This surprised the villagers, and immediately thought of the stillborn a while ago, as soon as the two were contacted, some people said that could it be that there was a problem with the water and soil in our village, otherwise why wouldn't the child survive?
Muren Village is a village that was formed not knowing how many years ago, and there has never been a problem, hearing someone say this, the older generation of people in the village is very angry, warning everyone not to speculate, saying that we are a piece of land left by our ancestors, how can there be problems with water and soil, coincidence, it must be a coincidence.
The villagers there all regarded Muren Village as their roots, and they didn't want the problem to lie in the village, so they comforted themselves and said that they were thinking too much.
However, this self-deception did not last long, and in less than two months, it was ruthlessly crushed again, because another pregnant woman in the village was about to give birth.
At that time, most of the people in the village gathered around the door of the house where the child was born, although there were some talking and laughing, but in fact they were all nervous, if the child born by this pregnant woman was also a stillborn, it would be too telling!
