118. Sunken Pond
Back in the house, Mo Qiantao sat on the edge of the bed and didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the shadow of Xia Lianzhi would appear in the house.
"Don't be afraid...... Mommy will be fine......"
Perhaps the fetus in her womb felt her panic and kicked restlessly in her womb.
She touched her stomach back and forth, soothing.
"Don't be naughty, Mom will take you out of this place early tomorrow morning and never come back." The little hand touched back and forth several times, and the fetal movement calmed down, Mo Qiantao was worried that the fetus would be uncomfortable, and she felt along the stomach to the position where she didn't know if it was the buttocks or the head, she pressed it gently, the fetus moved slightly, and returned to calm, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The night outside the window was very heavy, as heavy as her eyelids that were about to close at the moment......
Fang Cai didn't feel sleepy, how could she be drowsy in the blink of an eye, this closed her eyes, the alarm bell in her heart rang loudly, but it was to no avail......
The next day, before I opened my eyes, I heard a lot of voices in my ears.
"This ...... How innocent is the child in the womb...... If not, wait until the baby is born. ”
"Innocent? Where is this wild species innocent? Complain that he won't be reincarnated. ”
It was Xia Lianzhi's voice, almost ruthless with indifference.
Mo Qiantao shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes......
The crowd was full of unfamiliar faces, and they looked at her with eyes full of disdain, schadenfreude, and even some sympathy.
Mo Qiantao felt that her body had been shot into a thousand holes.
"What are you doing here?" She suddenly found herself tied to her limbs and trapped in a bamboo cage with a thick hemp rope tied in the middle and a long wooden stick on top.
This is to sink her in the pond!!
"What to do? You, a slut, are a shame on me Chunfeng and a shame on my Xia family when you are alive, and today I will take my father and fellow villagers to sink you into the pond together, so that you can save yourself from harming other families. Xia Lianzhi's expression was indignant, and the saliva in her mouth splashed far away.
"You're crazy, I'm pregnant." At this point, Mo Qiantao still couldn't believe that Xia Lianzhi would come for real, she thought that Xia Lianzhi was just trying to scare and scare her, so that she could settle down in the future.
After all, the fetus in her womb is Xia Chunfeng's biological flesh and blood, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha.
"Pregnant? If you don't mention this stubble, I may be able to spare you, you are embarrassed to mention to me, the wild seed in your belly, you want to pit me Chunfeng for a lifetime! Xia Lianzhi was so angry that she rushed over to the bamboo cage is a few feet, Mo Qiantao saw that she seemed to be crazy, and hurriedly reached out to protect her stomach.
"Whether it's Xia Chunfeng's child or not, no one knows better than me, when someone else is out of town at this time, how can you hide it from him and hurt his wife and children." Mo Qiantao felt that it was not only Xia Lianzhi who was crazy, but also this group of villagers who watched the show with cold eyes.
At this time, an old man came over, who was the head of a village in Huailan Village. He touched his white beard and glanced at Mo Qiantao, "It's a pity, it's a pity, if you don't go to Kangzhuang Avenue, you will have to go crooked, this village can't tolerate you, and the world can't tolerate you in the eyes of the world." ”
"Village chief, why don't you wait for Chunfeng to come back? Good luck Mr. Kid came out. A woman's voice sounded, and then she was stopped by the villagers who were not afraid of big things when they watched the play, and no one dared to say a word for her again.
"You are careless of human life, I have not committed murder and broken the law, and no one has cheated and deceived me, why do you treat me like this, if I am at fault, I should also be handed over to the yamen for disposal." Mo Qiantao panicked, if she went to the Yamen, she would definitely have a chance to live, the current situation is very bad, not that she can explain it in a few words.
"If you go to Yamen, the reputation of our entire village will be ruined, this matter should be handled by me, the village head, you can go on the road with peace of mind, take the child in your belly, and be a good companion on the Huangquan Road." The village chief whispered, with no expression on her black and yellow thin face, just like the judge of the prefecture, who sentenced her to the oil pot with a few simple words.
"No—you lunatics - let me go - let me go—" she screamed, writhing wildly, her emotions contagious to the fetus in her womb, and punching and kicking along with her.
"Carry it down." The village chief waved his hand, and the two men picked up the wooden sticks one after the other, carried them on their shoulders and walked into the river.
"Stop—please let me go—no matter what, let me have a baby first—I know I'm wrong—" she cried out in a heart-rending voice, tears welling up in her scarlet eyes.
No one paid attention to her screams of pain, and she saw that on the riverside, on the surface of the river with white waves, it was like a white flower blooming on the road to the Yellow Spring.
"I curse you...... Curse you not to die well......" she cried, her eyes turned to Xia Lianzhi's eyes, full of hatred, "You stupid woman! I curse you to be trapped in nightmares every day, and my ghosts will drink your blood in your dreams, and you will have no place to bury your bones when you die, until the insects and ants will bite your body, and you will forever fall into hell and suffer from the oil pot of the knife mountain. ”
Mo Qiantao's curse made Xia Lianzhi stiffen, like a demon, constantly echoing in her ears, making her hands and feet tremble slightly.
"Xia Chunfeng, where are you—you come out quickly—your wife and children are almost gone—" She strongly hoped that Xia Chunfeng could fall from the sky and save their mother and daughter (son) in the midst of water and fire......
But at this time...... No one responded to her except her own.
With a bang, the water splashed everywhere, and even the people with bamboo cages sank to the bottom of the river.
"Don't be afraid...... Mom will always be with you......" Tears and river water merged, and she knew she couldn't escape......
It must have been a nightmare......
Everything is fine when you wake up......

The farce that happened in Zhang Zhen's wedding, Wu Muyun had just learned about it that day, and when he heard that his lower body was seriously injured, Wu Muyun took the doctor into the village to treat him.
"Pig brains!" Wu Muyun looked at him coldly, looking at Zhang Zhen as if he was dying, and he was very impatient.
"If it weren't for you, Bai Zhi would not have died in childbirth, and Zhen'er would not have been tortured like this because of the continuation of the string." Wu wiped her tears, she was already very blamed for him in her heart, and now that such a situation has appeared, it makes her beat her chest and feel even more annoyed.
"If I hadn't taken you away, maybe you wouldn't be alive now." has been tortured by the Wu family, Wu Muyun had to turn his face and remind.
"Uncle...... Mother...... Don't make a noise...... I want to have three long and two short, then Mo Qiantao can't live......" Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen was still relieved.
was so troubled by him, he didn't believe that the elders in the village could still let her live in peace.
"What did you say?" Wu Muyun turned his head, his eagle-like eyes staring at him.
Zhang Zhen stammered and said, "On the day of the wedding, I saw the former maid of our family...... Mo Qiantao ...... "I'm afraid that he won't be able to remember who Mo Qiantao is, Zhang Zhen said again, "It's the one who married the servant in the firewood room...... That lewd woman. ”
"What did you do with her?" He roared, intending to ramble on unfocused words.
"When I saw her that day, her belly was very big, this woman was water-based poplar, and I told the villagers what kind of slut she was, and the child in her belly couldn't tell whose wild seed it was......"
Looking at Wu Muyun's angry face, Zhang Zhen didn't dare to say any more, he was stunned, he felt that maybe he was thinking too much, so he said proudly, "Such a woman will be sunk in the village, and she is afraid that she will not escape." ”
"Bastard thing-" Wu Muyun was furious, took a deep breath, and slammed his fist on the bed, and the bed collapsed.
He hurried out of the courtyard, Li Junru hurriedly followed, and the two rushed to Huailan Village together.
About half an hour or so, he had already listened to some bits and pieces of words on the way, and the general meaning was that Mo Qiantao had sunk into the pond, and he must be dead now.
When he arrived at the scene of the incident, the crowd had not yet dispersed, and a discarded wooden stick was still lying quietly by the river.
"Where's the woman!" He went crazy and grabbed people passing by.
Seeing this, Li Junru immediately stepped forward to stop him, and he asked calmly, "Did someone of you sink this morning?" ”
The villager nodded blankly. Wu Muyun rushed to the river like a whirlwind, and jumped down without a moment's hesitation.
"Don't be impulsive, sir." Li Junru couldn't hold it and couldn't stop it. As far as Wu Muyun's sad and sad expression was concerned, he knew that something even crazier would happen next.
Wu Muyun just jumped in, the river water was crystal clear, except for the green swaying aquatic plants, and the fish playing happily, there was nothing else. But he didn't give up, it was only July now, and the bottom of the river was still very cold, he didn't seem to feel the biting cold, and a pair of eyes scanned around, unwilling to miss anything.
"My lord, by all means." Seeing Wu Muyun poking his head out to summon his breath, he hurriedly jumped down and dragged him to the shore. The crazy actions of the two have caused many onlookers to speculate whether this person is Mo Qiantao's concubine.
Li Junru dragged him back, so he had to sink into the water to accompany him to find it, I don't know how long later, the river was full of people, pointing at the two people at the bottom of the river, saying ugly cool words.
Li Junru had been conserving his strength, and fished him up when he was exhausted and slowly sinking into the river.
When they came ashore, the crowd covered up the light, and Li Junru noticed that the comer was not good, "What do you want to do?" ”
"What is your relationship with that slut?" The village chief walked out of the crowd, with a pair of yellow eyes, and looked at the two for a moment.
"Slut? Are you talking about Mo Qiantao? She has a name and a surname, and who will allow you to call her with such foul words? Wu Muyun pushed Li Junru away with all his might, stood up violently, and his body was wet, and a pair of clenched fists exposed his angry emotions at this time.
