During the three days of being in a trance, Liu Kangjian not only traced Bai Wei's soft outline and graceful posture over and over again, but also fell into another dream-

- On a deep, familiar night, the north wind howled with the roar of a manic beast, and the raindrops of beans pierced through the thick clouds and crackled down on the vast earth, on the green trees that danced in the wind, and on the cold, filthy glass windows of a house.

And from the window came a cry louder and more terrible than the wind and rain, one after the other, one after the other, one after the other, and the sound went straight through the sky, hovering in the air like a blackbird, so heartbreaking, and so full of pain, it was the cry of a country woman giving birth with the help of a midwife.

In the room, under the dim light of the incandescent lamp, a woman was sweating profusely and giving birth with a painful expression, and the family waited anxiously through a door.

When the waiting man finished smoking another cigarette, they heard a burst of baby crying in the door, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the tense atmosphere gradually eased to the point of calming, the man and his mother led the door to check the situation in the bedroom, the midwife just cut off the umbilical cord connected to the flesh and blood of the mother and the child, and then turned to look at the man and the old man who came in, she trembled and carried the bloodstained baby to the visitor, and said with a serious and disappointed expression: "It's a girl......

The man then kicked the stool next to his feet, and snorted to the ground with an ugly expression: "it, why is it a woman!" Bad luck! ”

The old man was not very happy, and her face showed a gloom that was almost dark, and she said, "Okay, thank you, you can go, go to my wife's and get cash." ”

Wen Po sighed, and she didn't care about the blood stains on her hands, so she left first, and she was very unhappy in her heart, complaining that the woman who gave birth was not angry: because according to the rules of the village, the delivery of a female baby not only has a reward, but also a big banquet for the midwife, and now, if it is a female baby, not only is the banquet gone, but the reward has become a small amount of travel expenses.

After seeing the midwife leave, the man and the old mother looked at each other, nodded, and put the child into a basin of boiling water prepared in advance next to the mother-

This is also the common rule in several villages near them: as soon as the child lands, if it is a boy, the basin of water next to the mother is used to wipe the blood stained by childbirth for the baby, and if it is a girl, it is put into the smoking boiling water and drowned.

With a piercing and sharp cry, the baby's delicate and red skin quickly burst, blisters and blood splashes, and began to shake her limbs in pain and resistance, and the old woman immediately forced her head into the hot water, and finally the baby was powerless to toss, and the hoarse cry gradually died down, the sound and movement all stopped, and the mother on the bed watched all this indifferently, Or that she has no other way than to force herself to ignore the gaze, she herself has long been mired in the quagmire, and it is difficult to protect herself, how can she protect the child?

"You stink*, you don't know how to give birth at all." After a long time, the old woman fished out the dead baby from the gradually gentle water, and scolded the tired mother, and the vicious words were not weakened in the slightest by the sluggishness of old age.

Then the old woman and the man carried the dead baby out of the house and came to the stormy courtyard.

"Bury it." The old woman said that the man agreed, and the two of them worked together to quickly dig a small hole, and then threw the baby into the muddy pit and covered it with dirt.

After a while, the man leaned over and said to the baby buried in the ground, "You know you're afraid!" Well? Let you be entrusted to my Liu family, huh? Tender to death you and me! ”

"Yes, so that she should know that my Liu family does not welcome female babies, and also show other female babies who want to be born in my Liu family, the consequences of being born in my Liu family, so that the next child must be a male baby!"

"Yes." The man agreed, and then the two went back to the house to sleep, no one cared about the fragility and fatigue of the woman who had just given birth, and no one knew that the corners of the woman's dim eyes, in addition to tears slipping down, there was also a dazzling hatred little by little, useless and wanton spreading.

It's really a terrible look, Liu Kangjian sighed, it was very impactful, it made goosebumps rise, and the body and soul trembled together. That scene is deeply fixed in my mind, lingering, but it can't bring other more emotions, as if he is just an outsider - he is indeed an outsider, this scene is just a dream, even if it is true, even if the people in the scene are clearly their father, mother, grandfather, grandma. In his heart, he still didn't have any special feelings.

It had nothing to do with numbness, he just thought, "What's the matter with me?" But he still wanted to know the identity of this baby girl, because Bai Wei, who was in his heart, in that dream, for a while, as usual, and then turned into the terrifying appearance of a dead baby in the soil, which was extremely terrifying.

"Do I have a sister?" Liu Kangjian asked his family.

The father gave him a mouthful: "Let you talk nonsense!" ”

Grandma was distressed, ouch, and quickly rubbed her grandson's face to comfort her, but the grandson shook off her grandmother's rough hand and roared angrily: "If you don't tell me the, I'll kill you all!! ”

Sad Partition**************************************

Qingyu Sect, the hall of the council.

Sect Master Qingyu Venerable looked into the distant sky through the open entrance. Slender fingers pinched something lightly beside the sleeve of the robe.

"The miasma of the East is rising, the blood is soaring to the sky, the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, there is a great demon born."

"It's exactly the same as it was fifteen years ago."

Venerable Qingyu retracted his distant gaze and cast his gaze on the young man with a smoking gun: "My disciple, you can be convicted. ”

The young man was dressed in an azure robe, his silver hair was tied up in a bun, his side face was sharpened, his eyes were handsome and his eyebrows were trimmed, and his bearing was extraordinary.

This person is Mingyu, who has just escaped from the flow of people.

The glimmer of the distant sky shines through the porch on his long robe full of classical beauty, and the plain and elegant brocade is also full of brilliance, and there are complex patterns faintly emerging in the light, which is very beautiful.

"Master, the apprentice knows his mistakes." Mingyu lowered his good-looking head slightly, and said sincerely.
