The place where they are located is called Sand City, and they are all the people of Sand City, and Sand City is the only human settlement in this desert.

Fifty miles from here, there is an oasis on which the entire people of the sand depend for their survival.

The oasis had water and food, and they raised cattle and sheep and grew grain there.

Every day, young men and women walk to the oasis, where they work together to protect the source of life.

At the same time, the king would send his guards out to scout the surrounding area, on the one hand, to look for unknown dangers, to protect the safety of the sand city, and on the other hand, to obtain more resources.

In this way, with internal stability and no external intrusion, the city of Sand prospered day by day, and its people survived here for generations.

A month earlier, the queen had given birth to a child, and the king had only one wife, and before that the queen had given birth to a prince.

The queen was gentle and virtuous, dignified and considerate, and loved her people, and the people of Shachen loved her very much.

The prince is now five years old and has begun to learn, and the king takes him with him wherever he goes.

Therefore, this was supposed to be a good thing for the whole country to celebrate, and the palace was full of lights, and they were excited to prepare for the arrival of this new life.

It's a pity that the unexpected happened.

The king paced from side to side outside the queen's chambers, and his nervous appearance was very different from what he had done before.

"Hasn't the midwife arrived yet?" He turned around and asked the palace people behind him.

"Your Majesty, they are already on their way."

Every once in a while, this conversation would be repeated, until the midwife, who arrived with her tools, and the king hurried to meet her.

"Don't salute, get in! The Queen's body is the most important thing!" The king beckoned for the palace people to let him go.

After that, the screams of pain continued to sound from within, and the king could not bear to turn his face away, and he closed his eyes tightly.

There seemed to be something going on inside, and the medicine woman kept shouting for the queen to push harder, harder, and the queen's screams became louder and louder.

The king put his hands together above his head and prayed to the gods that it would be all right and that the queen would give birth to the child safely.

Before the queen's screams could be stopped, another scream rang out, and the medicine woman stumbled out.

She knelt at the king's feet, kowtowing incessantly, and it was obvious that she was frightened.

The king was furious: "What happened? Why are you panicking?"

"Queen...... Queen...... Gave birth to a monster!" The medicine woman stumbled and spoke, spelling the words, and finished the sentence.

Her voice was sharp and somewhat choppy, and it took a while for the king and the palace around her to react.

"You're talking nonsense! How is this possible? Come on, drag this medicine girl down!" The king was furious.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go in and take a look!" The medicine woman cried out for mercy, and she fell to her knees, her forehead already bleeding.

The king didn't want to believe it, so he slammed the door open and entered the delivery room, where the rest of the palace retreated and knelt on the ground.

The queen was lying on the bed, she had lost her strength and fell into a coma, and on the ground, there was a slick baby girl.

At a glance, the king was frightened.

It is not true to say that it is a baby girl, this baby has two heads and two limbs, but their bodies are connected, and they are next to each other.

The baby girl did not cry or make a fuss, but sat quietly on the ground, with her four big round eyes, staring at the king tightly.

The king felt only a moment of trepidation, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and then muttered, "This is ominous...... It's a curse...... It's a nightmare......

The king immediately ordered that the ominous baby girl should be put to death, and at this time, the ministers who had come to congratulate him also arrived, and they were startled when they heard the news, and rushed to stop them.

But when they also saw the conjoined baby girl, they couldn't smile anymore

When it came, everyone supported the king's decision, because the baby girl looked really attractive.

The king ordered again: "This baby girl is unknown, and for the sake of the safety of the people of Shacheng, I cannot tolerate her hurting them, even if she is my own flesh and blood, my daughter."

"I decided to put her to death to stop the calamity from befalling Sand City."

"The King is wise!" The ministers all knelt on the ground, and their voices were high.

The baby girl was taken away by the king's men, and when the queen woke up, she could not accept what had happened, and she cried and begged the king to let him show her.

The king rejected him: "Queen, that child is unknown, I can't let her hurt you, you have just given birth, you have to take good care of your body, you don't have to worry about these things."

The queen burst into tears, no matter what the baby girl was, after all, it was the flesh and blood that came down from her October pregnancy, mother and son were connected, she couldn't watch the baby girl being executed, but she had no other way.

After the king left, he told the palace people to take good care of the queen's daily life, so that she could recuperate in the palace in recent months and avoid going out and walking.

The reputation is for her physical recovery, but in fact it is a disguised house arrest.

Since then, rumors have continued, and the ministers have played that not only the baby girl is a bad thing, but even the queen who is pregnant for ten months has been contaminated with ominous.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is a good queen, she loves her children, she is gentle and virtuous, but that was before, and the ominous aura has already enveloped her, so she gave birth to an ominous baby girl."

"The baby girl is about to be executed by us, but the queen is still in the palace, she will still affect our people, our Sand City, please don't be soft-hearted, all for the future of Sand City." The ministers painstakingly persuaded.

The king could not bear it, but he finally relented, and he ordered the abolition of the queen's throne and moved her out of the palace and temporarily locked up in a courtyard to the northwest of the palace.

Another message is among the people.

Since the queen was pregnant, the whole city has been in constant sandstorms, and these sudden winds and sands have greatly affected the lives of the people.

Every time they travel, if they encounter wind and sand, they will completely lose their way, and there are not a few companions who have disappeared in the sand and dust in the past.

In addition, when the wind and sand are strong, it will knock down the things placed outside their houses, and even worse, if their houses are not strong enough, they will collapse in the strong winds.

After that, the king continued to strengthen and raise the walls of the city during the year, so as to prevent the destruction of the sand city in the wind.

Everyone has been suffering for a long time, and the wise people have a pair of times, and they all say that it is because the baby girl born to the queen is unknown, so it is said that it brought them disaster.

So it aroused the anger of the people, and everyone not only wanted to execute the baby girl, but also let her be burned to death in the square, in full view of everyone.

The crowd grew louder, and at first they only reported it to the guards, but seeing that the king did not react, they went further.

They gathered almost all of them together and went to the gate of the royal palace, where they knelt on their knees and told their demands.

"Your Majesty, this baby girl has brought us too many disasters, just by putting her to death, there is no way to erase her sins, only by fire, please let her be on the square, burned by the flames of all the darkness and sins in her body!" The convener shouted, and the rest of the people seconded it.

"Burn the unknown baby girl!"

"Burn the ominous baby girl! The fire consumes her iniquity!"

Under the passionate shouts one after another, the king finally came forward to calm the anger of the people, and he was surrounded by the palace people and ministers.

He promised, "You are right, it is not my child, it is a bad thing that brings disaster to Sand City, and only under the fire can she burn her sins and bring light to Sand City."

was determined, and in order to deal with this matter as soon as possible, the conjoined baby girl was burned, which was scheduled for the next day.

On that day, all the people of the whole city of Shacheng rushed to the scene, and they were all very angry and threw things at the baby girl.

"Burn you! You hoodoo! You shouldn't have come to our sand city!"

"You are going to bring disaster upon our Sand City! Hurry up!"

"Give back my father's life! He lost his life in the sand!"

The scene was noisy, with constant cursing and shouting, but the field and off the field seemed to be two worlds.

The baby girl was still sitting quietly on the ground, she opened two pairs of big eyes, dark eyes, and looked at everyone in the distance.

Circles of firewood were placed around the baby girl, and her clothes were wet with oil in advance, and the bad smell of palm oil was exuded all over her body.

When everything was ready, the king sent for him, and the man of the palace carried a bucket full of palm oil, which he lifted up and poured on the baby girl.

The king ordered a fire to be lit, and at first, the baby girl was still quietly in the fire, but with the blessing of firewood and palm oil, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and the baby girl began to scream, and she struggled, and her whole body was very twisted.

But the people around them never seemed to hear it, and their faces were full of excitement, thinking that as long as the baby girl was burned, their lives would be smoother.

The convener from before took the lead again this time, and the people behind them hurriedly followed, all of them kneeling on the ground, praying to their gods to bless them with better and better futures.

They were babbling that they had put sinners to death, and that the gods would not condemn them again.

The king took the palace people and ministers to watch this scene quietly on the high platform, the screams of the baby girl continued, and the crowd of people kneeling on the ground was very religious.

"No! Don't!" There was a woman who cried out, this is the queen who escaped.

She still couldn't bear it, she rushed into the fire to try to save her daughter, but the fire immediately ignited, and her clothes caught fire,

Then, she also began to scream, just like the baby girl, twisting her body in the flames, struggling, but she still held her child firmly in her arms, and the two of them were burned to charred corpses together.

There was no movement in the flames, and the queen and the baby girl were lying on the ground silently, but the flames were still burning, and no one made a sound in the whole scene, so they maintained an eerie calm.

Until the last stick of firewood is burned out, leaving a ground of black ash.

At this time, the king spoke, "Let us celebrate together, my people, sinners have been burned by the fire, the calamity of Sand is over, and a new life is about to be ushered in!"

The people applauded loudly, they applauded excitedly, hugged their relatives and friends next to them, and happy smiles spread on their faces.

"The King is wise!"

"The disaster is over! A new lease of life!"

The people gathered around each other and left, and they returned to their homes, while the king arranged for the guards to clean up the aftermath.

The king turned to the workers around him and said casually, "Throw these two corpses out of the city, and let them dissipate into the air and be buried in the sand."

"Return to heaven and earth, so that they can use up the last bit of their value, so that they can wash away the sins on their bodies and no longer condemn their sins to our sand city."

The king's orders, the palace people can only do it, but during the queen's lifetime, he was often taken care of by the queen, and he had no way to prevent the queen's death, but now, he wanted to do something,

He falsely messaged: "Although the queen is a sinner, she is still a queen during her lifetime, and she must not lose the face of the royal family."

He had the maids bring water and cotton cloth, and groomed the queen and the baby girl, and he wiped the ashes off their bodies, put their clothes in order, and then arranged for the chariots, horses, and coffins, and personally escorted them out of the city.

After walking fifty miles with the chariot and horse, the palace man reached the vicinity of the oasis, where he ordered a sand pit to be dug and the coffin was placed in it.

"Queen, princess, go all the way, may you have no disasters in the next life, and have a smooth life." The palace man knelt on the ground, and he kowtowed to the queen for the last time.

The queen and the conjoined baby girl were laid to rest in the desert.
