Chapter 2 The Black Forest
The woman woke up like a corpse, which caught the three of them off guard, but fortunately, it was only a short two seconds, and before she could say a word, the woman's hand was weakly released, her head tilted, and she fainted.
"Are today's children so intimidated?" the monk patted his chest, and from beginning to end, the monk had a lingering wariness of this woman. The 'deceitful corpse' just now almost frightened his soul came out again.
Another slap on the forehead of the frightened girl. The monk pulled the girl's sluggish spirit back again.
The girl stared at the monk and then at the Taoist priest in horror.
"Delivery. The Taoist priest pointed to the woman and said lightly, "Also, everything that can be provided is in the box." ”
The monk took the box to the side, took off his robe, and hung it in front of the tree hole, which just covered the whole tree hole. Then he and the Taoist priest left the delivery room, they were sure that this time the woman was very dizzy, and the act just now consumed the little vitality left, and death, for the woman, may be a matter of the next breath.
For the rest, leave it to fate.
The Taoist priest leaned on a tree not far away and closed his eyes to recuperate, the monk did not come over, began to pick up the dead branches around him, and lit a small fire outside the delivery room.
A puff of smoke rose from some damp branches and rolled straight up. Most of the people who attracted them were subdued by monks and Taoist priests in the past two days. But they did not disperse, but stayed far away.
In the tree hole, the girl's cry came intermittently: "Come on!!", "Hard!", "You have to work hard!", "Fight!", "The baby is the best~~"
The monk sat in front of the fire, humming an unknown tune, and looked very happy at the flames dancing upward.
As the people appeared in twos and threes, the Taoist priest became vigilant and also came to stand in front of the fire.
At this moment, a bearded man came out from behind the tree, and said with a smile on his face: "Two big brothers, it's me, bearded! I caught a fat rabbit!"
Dahan frowned when he saw the monk, thinking that the monk does not eat meat. Just about to turn around and leave, he was pulled by the monk.
The monk said angrily: "You are a rabbit, you look at the 7 people around, plus you, the poor monk, and the Taoist chief." Don't you want to do things?"
It turned out that the rabbit was too small... Dahan said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, this rabbit will be eaten by the three of us, cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, they all have their own ability to eat without worrying." ”
The big man pointed to the fire in a bit of a panic and said, "I just want to borrow your fire to cook it quickly, as soon as it gets dark, the fire will not be visible." ”
There is not much left of the waning moon, which is as faint as a coal lamp, and there are many bizarre things on this island, as soon as it gets dark, even though everything is there, the fire, is still dancing wildly, but people's eyes are all like being covered with black cloth.
Not being able to see is the scariest thing.
Chewing is one of the most important sources of happiness for human beings, although people can't die without eating or drinking for three days, but if you don't eat it, you're stupid, not to mention that you don't know when the next meal is.
Dahan skillfully supported the bracket, the smell of burnt rabbit hair is simply ashamed, Dahan has a 12CM long saber, shaved rabbit hair neatly in the flames, and after a while the rabbit meat has begun to drip oil, dripping on the flame and bursting into a little spark.
The Taoist priest quickly snatched the knife in the hand of the big man, and the big man was just about to burst out, thinking that he was not the opponent of the monk and the Taoist priest, as long as he sat down and continued to concentrate on roasting the rabbit.
I saw the Taoist priest put the knife on the fire and roasted it, and after a while, he opened his long shirt, rubbed the knife on a relatively clean piece of clothing inside, and after repeating it several times, the Taoist priest walked to the delivery room.
knocked on the hole in the tree, held the tip of the knife and shaved it through the crack in the robe and said, "I've been poisoned, I'll take this to cut the umbilical cord later." ”
The monk kept wiping his mouth as he stared at the rabbit meat whose skin had begun to roast and crispy, and the Taoist priest kept pacing back and forth outside the delivery room, and the night was coming.
"Come out!! "Come out," the girl's excited voice came from the delivery room, "but, but, the feet came out first..."
The Taoist priest's hand that wanted to lift the robe was retracted and asked, "Are you okay?"
The girl didn't have time to answer the Taoist priest's words, but still said those words of encouragement.
Dahan tore off a piece of crispy skin and gave it to the monk, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are the family members of the Taoist inside?"
"Family?" The monk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Which family, this tree hole was originally mine, and a pregnant woman popped up in the middle of the night, occupying my room and sucking the essence of my tree roots." I'm going to have to look for a house again..."
The monk's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he looked at the big man and said, "Where do you live?"
"It's a boy!!" The girl's shout in the mother was still echoing, and just when the robe was opened by the girl, it was dark!
The firelight vanished, and everything melted into pure darkness, and the silence was terrifying.
The Taoist priest touched the girl's arm with the memory of the moment before the darkness, and said softly: "It's me, don't be afraid! ”
With a "whew", the Taoist priest removed his robe and wrapped the girl and the baby in the girl's arms, raised his feet, exerted all his strength, and took the girl and the baby away from the mother one kilometer away as quickly as possible.
The Taoist priest groped in front of a tree hole, which was a small tree hole, which was half an adult's height down, and the fallen leaves inside were cleaned up around the tree hole.
The baby never moved.
"Stay here, don't go out, it's safer here, and if anyone comes close, I'll rush back." After the Taoist priest settled the girl, he lifted his foot and disappeared.
The Taoist priest returned to the delivery room, flashed into the tree hole, and touched the place where the woman was lying, and it was indeed empty!
"Monk!" The Taoist priest was furious!
"Monk !!!"
"Here, don't shout, don't shout, I just chased that beard, and as soon as it got dark, this guy ran away with rabbit meat...."
The monk's panting voice grew closer.
"I ask you where this woman is!!" The Taoist priest followed the voice and grabbed the monk's arm.
The monk was stunned... With a shock to his body, he broke free of the Taoist priest's hand and drilled into the hole in the tree, only to touch the ground that was still warm, empty, and felt that the big box was still there.
The monk buckled the box and held it in his hand.
"Holy! I'm dying, how can I still fly after giving birth?"
"You !!" Dao was speechless, this is probably the only person who can explain why they are here and what kind of place they are in the past few days!
The only woman who appeared without a mark on her body but with a child in her arms. In the blink of an eye, the work was gone.
If it weren't for the idea that he would have more chips in his hands, he would transfer the baby and the girl as soon as possible, and control the woman first. Then the women and children should be under control now. But I was too wary of this dying woman. But I can't tell if it's because I'm dying and worthless, or if it's really because of the pressure of vigilance that led to such a decision.
It's not all the monk's fault that he didn't look at the woman, the Taoist priest took a few deep breaths, regained his composure and asked, "Has anyone else been here?"
A woman who may lose her breath at any time can't go away on her own!
"There's only the breath of this woman here, and the three of us. No one else has ever been here. The monk's voice came to my ears.
"Not good!" the Taoist priest grabbed the monk and used the earth shrinking technique to rush to the place where the girl and the baby were hidden.
Just fell together, the Taoist priest supported his knees with his hands and panted and said, "Why are you bald donkey so heavy!"
"You pull half an Arhat, can you not sink!" The monk was very proud, "Tomorrow you teach me this Taoist technique of shrinking the ground into inches, and you won't be tired next time." I'll do it myself!"
The Taoist priest was speechless, took a deep breath, grabbed the monk's back collar and walked up again.
There was the sound of someone stepping on the dead leaves outside the tree hole, and the girl was so frightened that she stuck to the tree wall, holding the baby firmly in her arms, and holding the sharp knife tremblingly with one hand!
The Taoist priest was already tired and struggled to stand up, and there was the sound of squirming leaves on the ground.
The darkness of the night frightened everyone, even the cultivators whose sensory perception far exceeded that of ordinary people, and when it came to the night, they all became blind, and their hearing was not much different from that of ordinary people. The only thing that is stronger than ordinary people is that he still has a keen sense of air currents and breath.
The monk had arrived in front of the tree hole with the girl's breath, and the Taoist priest dragged his tired body to follow.
"Girl?" the Taoist priest asked.
The girl did not dare to speak, nor to answer, nor to go out. I can only bite my trembling teeth hard. Tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes and falling on the baby's face. The darkness has never been so scary.
In the dark, the girl's arm was grabbed by others again, and the girl waved her hand, and the sharp knife swung towards the Taoist priest, and then the wrist was pressed, and the knife that could not be held fell into the hand of the Taoist priest.
"Ah!!!!!h
The girl shouted hysterically, and the monk raised his palm again and slapped it on the girl's forehead.
"Ah!!!!!h
The girl changed her tone and continued to call, and the monk was stunned: "Still calling?"
Apparently this time it didn't work, and the monk slapped the girl on the forehead again.
The girl calmed down.
"Don't be afraid. It's me and the monk. The Taoist priest comforted, "How is the child?"
"Child.... The child has a heartbeat, and.... And breathing...."
"Breathing?" exclaimed the Taoist priest and the monk at the same time.
"And...."
The girl swallowed, "When his head came out, I seemed to see him laughing..."
"Laughing?" the two blurted out again.
The girl said timidly, "It seems, it seems to be..."
The Taoist priest reached out to the child and groped.
"There is a heartbeat, there is breathing, but I can't feel his magnetic field, there must be a demon when something goes wrong! This child can't stay! It will set himself on fire!" the Taoist priest said lightly.
"How can there be a demon? This kid doesn't have a demonic spirit. The monk was dissatisfied, "Before I died, I said to wake up the woman first, but you didn't agree, and now that the child is born, you have to kill the child again." When all things are born, they have the right to live!"
The monk got angry this time and sat down cross-legged. Sang a Buddha name: "Amitabha".
The monk's Buddha horn constantly echoed in the hollow of the tree, as if it could wash away all negative emotions.
"Yes... We all have the right to live. The Taoist priest still replied lightly and put away the sharp knife. It can be regarded as agreeing with the monk's decision.
"Well, what now?" asked the girl, "is the child's mother all right? Why didn't she bring it?"
"The woman is gone. We can't stay here any longer. ”
"Ah, what then, what about the child, her mother hasn't even had time to see him?"
The monk smiled at this time: "Hehe, when the child is washed tomorrow, the first thing he sees is you, you are his mother!"
