We came out of the cave and quickly adapted to the brilliant sun. Although Ah Nian tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't help but take a few more glances at everything around him. Although he didn't ask, I was very kind to introduce him to some of the names of plants I knew, and by the way, let him know the colorful colors. I really can't imagine how monotonous and boring his many years in the Demon Domain were. In other words, those demons who have never been out of the Demon Domain are afraid that they are really having a hard time.

We used a little spiritual power to speed up our journey, and soon we began to see the sparse country houses, and a little further on, there was a teahouse, which I think was specially designed to receive people who were passing through here.

I took Ah Nian to sit down in the teahouse, and along the way he repeatedly stared at the houses made of wood or stone, listening carefully to the conversation of the mortals, and even if the expression on his face did not fluctuate, I could feel the countless questions in his heart.

I conjured up some silver taels and asked the store for a pot of tea and a few steamed buns. Ah Nian sat next to me, cautiously looking at the mortals around him who were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, but his body did not dare to move.

When the store served good food, I took a steaming bun, handed it to Ah Nian, and whispered:

"Well, that's what mortals eat. ”

Ah Nian took it very hesitantly, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the bun on the table, I saw that he was tense, I was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the heat of the bun.

"The food of mortals is cooked with fire, and it can be regarded as the first delicacy in the Six Realms, you can taste it. ”

Seeing that I was looking at him insistently, he reluctantly put it to his mouth and took a small bite.

"How?"

He chewed carefully, the expression on his face changed slightly, from a little apprehension, to hesitation, to doubt, to adaptation, and finally showed a vague smile, but then quickly regained that composure.

"Yes, yes. ”

Looking at the way he looked, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hurry up and take a big bite, and the stuffing will be fragrant when you bite into it." ”

I'm looking forward to his reaction. Sure enough, when he took the next bite of the meat filling in the bun, he was startled at first, and then chewed more finely, and as he chewed, he asked, "What is this made of? ”

"This is meat, which is made by killing a pig and cooking it over a fire. ”

"How can a beast without spiritual power be so delicious?"

Again, I was almost speechless.

"Could it be that your ancestor Chiyou only eats living creatures with spiritual power?"

"Yes, this is the tradition of our Chiyou clan, including the Jiuli clan who once trusted their ancestors, and they also eat like this. ”

I was completely speechless. The guilt of misunderstanding the demons that had been born before dissipated in an instant. Thinking to himself, I don't know how many spiritual things the Chiyou clan has eaten, no wonder the Six Realms treat them as monsters, and then I remembered that the Jiuli clan was once also known as the beast clan, and I think it was also because of these strange habits.

But then, again, he asked a question that left me speechless.

"Why do these mortals have so much to say if there is a war to discuss it, and how can they gather together so unguarded?"

I opened my mouth, but closed it again, and I thought, no matter what I explained, he didn't seem to understand, did he tell him that people in all worlds except the Demon Realm communicated like this?

"How do you get along with the demons in the Pure Land of the Demon Domain?"

"Although I haven't been to the land of pure search, I heard from the emperor that the demon clans there are all cultivating separately and are at peace with each other, so they can stay away from the war, and naturally they will not easily clash with other demon clans. Even for the sake of reproduction, they are very brief-lived, and then they do not disturb each other. ”

Act for a short time without disturbing each other...... I'm a little puzzled.

"The Pure Seeking Land is under the jurisdiction of the Torture Demon, and it will not easily let the demons inside quarrel. ”

I gritted my teeth, thinking to myself, that pure search place is not the prison of the Demon Domain, right? Those demons who are unwilling to participate in the war are imprisoned, and they must also take on the task of breeding offspring, this set of rules of the Demon Domain is really embarrassing. What is it that it even said that it was to avoid causing strife?

"Who is the Torture Demon you mentioned? It seems that he has a lot of power in the Demon Domain. ”

"The Torture Demon was incarnated by the Jiuli people brought into the Demon Domain by the ancestors, and due to the erosion of the Demon Domain's anger, they gradually lost their seven emotions and six desires, but their lifespan continued to continue, so the ancestors granted them powerful magic power and let them serve as the punishment of the Demon Clan. They are only loyal to their ancestors, and there are some rules that even the emperor cannot shake. ”

He couldn't find a loophole in his rhetoric, but I vaguely felt that the Torture Demon must be an extremely terrifying organization, but fortunately I hadn't seen it in the Demon Domain.

After a while, the bun was eaten to the bottom, of course, most of it was eaten by him. But his face still had that calm look.

I poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

This time, he didn't have his previous guard and took a sip directly. You know, even the water you drink in the Demon Realm is the color of blood.

He drank it down, his brow furrowed slightly.

"This taste...... It seems a little weird. ”

"It's bitter, but if you wait a little longer, you'll find it a little sweet. ”

"Bitter and sweet?" he was bewildered again.

Now I knew I had to explain a new vocabulary to him. Where does the Demon Domain come from?

I asked for some buns to take with me, and when I saw that he was faintly eager, I gave him another one. He nodded politely to me and took a few bites of the bun into his mouth.

Because it was not far from the town, we didn't urge the spiritual power anymore, and hurried with the feet of mortals, and when we really saw a simple wooden archway, it was already sunset.

At any time at dusk, the noise from the wooden archway is still very obvious, and there are many more pedestrians coming and going in front of us. In time, he commanded a demon army, but it was unprecedented to be in the middle of so many mortals at once.

"It's about a mortal cottage, and we'll have to go in and find a place to stay. Are you alright?" I asked tentatively, and he quickly shook his head, but walked into the torii before me, and I smiled and followed.

"Do you know the route to Heshan?" Ah Nian didn't know where he got the courage, and walked up to an old woman a little abruptly and asked directly.

The old woman's ears were no longer good, and she only saw the eight-foot-tall young man in front of her looking at her coldly, but she was a little more frightened, and she was stunned for a while.

I hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old woman.

"Old man, I'm sorry, my nephew is a foreigner and doesn't speak very well, we are from Suining Town, and I want to ask you for directions. I smiled kindly and leaned into the old woman's ear and said in a dialect close to Suining Town.

"Ann, ask for directions!" The old woman spoke a local dialect with some difficulty, fortunately it was not much different from that of Suining Town, "I don't know! I have never had to come out of the village! You still have to ask the village chief!"

"Okay, thank you, old man, where is the village chief's residence?"

"Tease in front, the biggest room tease is. The old woman pointed in one direction, and I followed her fingers, and sure enough, I saw a room that was noticeably larger than the others.

I thanked the old woman and was about to walk towards the house, but the old woman spoke again: "Wait a minute! The village chief's daughter-in-law seems to be giving birth, and now I am afraid that I will not have time to greet you." ”

"Thank you, good old man. After speaking, I still led Ah Nian, who was at a loss, towards the direction of the village chief's house.

"What does it mean to give birth to a baby?" Ah Nian learned the dialect that the old woman had just spoken.

"It's about having children. This place should be just a village, and it is estimated that few people in the village can speak official language. ”

"Official?"

"It's the same thing we said, the Six Realms are universal, mortals are governed by the gods, and naturally they have to learn to say the same things as the gods, but they are all rules set by the rulers by the will of the gods, because mortals call their rulers officials, so they are called officials. ”

Ah Nian nodded as if he didn't understand, and followed me silently thinking. In a few moments, we were already at the door of the village chief's house.

Ah Nian's face suddenly changed, with a look of vigilance, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort to control himself not to urge his spiritual power.

From inside the room came the cry of a woman in great pain, and in bursts and bursts, hoarse.

"Don't be nervous, it's a mortal woman in labor. ”

"Childbirth?"

"Your mother must have given birth to you in the same way, for half of her blood is also mortal. ”

"Childbirth, is it so painful?"

"That's nature, if you want to reproduce, you must go through great suffering, and this, the gods, beasts, and mortals are the same, and if you make a slight mistake, you will even lose your life. It's just that maybe the demon race shouldn't be so painful, after all, the demon spirit is just a bead. ”

"I don't know. He let his guard down and seemed ready to push the door open.

I quickly stopped him and raised my hand to slam the door.

"What does that mean?

"This is the etiquette of mortals, when entering someone's house, you must first knock on the door and get permission from the other person before entering. ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "It's like sending out a trace of demonic energy from outside the door to the house when the Demon Domain visits, right?"

"Pretty much. ”

As he spoke, the door opened, and a young man with an anxious face looked at us, looked at us with a puzzled expression, and then asked:

"Who are the two ......?"

The man probably recognized that we were not from the village, so he asked questions in an inaccurate official language.

"We are from Suining Town, we are going to Heshan, and we want to ask the village chief for directions. ”

"Heshan, that seems to be far away, right? Come in first, my daughter-in-law is giving birth, you may have to wait. ”

I nodded my head in gratitude and followed him into the house.

Ah Nian glanced left and right, and then walked into the room with me.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard the shouts of the woman in the backyard, which was more than twice as loud as before.

The man didn't say anything more to us, and the tea didn't bother to pour, and went straight through the side door into another room, presumably to guard the delivery room.

I invited Ah Nian to sit down on the wooden chair on the left side of the room, and he still looked at the simple furnishings of the room from time to time. I whispered to him the names of the furnishings in the house, and he followed my fingers and listened silently.

After a long time, the woman's screams continued, but she seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and Ah Nian suddenly interrupted my introduction and said, "The smell of blood." ”

I quieted down, and sure enough, I smelled blood, which happened to be coming from the backyard.

Immediately after, I heard messy footsteps, and other people's cries and shouts. I thought to myself, could it be that there was something wrong with childbirth? I have also heard that mortals are more likely to have dystocia than other races, and once they have dystocia, it may be one corpse and two lives, which is very dangerous, could it be that the woman in this backyard has a difficult birth?

I touched my lower abdomen, and my heart trembled. I called Ah Nian and walked through the side door where the man had just entered, and went around to the backyard.

The people in the hospital were panicked, and a middle-aged woman stood at the door of the delivery room, her sleeves rolled up, her hands were stained with blood, her face was full of horror and anxiety, and she shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no, no, the bleeding can't stop!"

As soon as they heard this, the others were even more at a loss. The young man who opened the door to us just now was walking back and forth in a hurry outside the delivery room, neither going in, nor going in, so anxious that he had no decision. On the other side stood two old men, presumably the village chief and his wife, who were also full of sadness and kept sighing.

No one noticed our intrusion, and everyone's attention was on the wooden door of the delivery room that showed a little gap. The shouting gradually ceased to be heard, and only a faint breath remained.

Is it really so scary to have a baby?

For a moment, I didn't care much, and went straight through the crowd and into the delivery room, only to hear the middle-aged woman, probably a midwife, shouting outside the door, "What are you doing?!"

As soon as I turned my face, I saw the bloody scene.

The mother was lying weakly on the bed, sweating profusely, and had fainted by this time. Her bent legs were covered with a quilt, and the mattress under the quilt was already stained with blood. The mother's life is hanging by a thread.

I hurriedly gave her some spiritual power to keep her pulse, but fortunately, I didn't care about pickling, I lifted the quilt directly and saw the situation between her legs. It turned out that the fetus was the first to show its feet, and now it can be seen that one foot is exposed, presumably the other foot is still curled and stuck inside. Blood poured out, staining the little foot red.

I've seen beasts give birth before, so I gave her spiritual power again and stopped the bleeding for her. I tested it with my spiritual powers, and found that the fetus in her womb was also very weak. In desperation, I frowned, put my hand directly in, carefully touched the fetus's other foot, and carefully straightened it. The woman may have been in pain and trembling a little. I couldn't take much care of it, so I slowly dragged the fetus out.

At this moment, the midwife and the young man broke through the door and were amazed to see me clutching a baby boy with bloody hands. But at that moment, the midwife reacted, rushed to me, took the baby, first squeezed his mouth and nose with her hands, squeezed out the slurry inside, and then turned the baby upside down and slapped the soles of his feet!

My heart tightened, and my hands began to tremble.

The midwife cut the umbilical cord short and took the baby to a nearby hot tub to wash it. After a while, the midwife wrapped the baby in a small quilt and carried it to the young man, and then the village chief and his wife also walked in, and I realized that Ah Nian was already standing beside the young man at some point. At this moment, he could no longer hide the horror on his face, and only looked at the baby in the man's arms in a daze.

"It's a baby!" said the midwife excitedly.

But immediately, she handed the child to the young man and turned to check on the mother on the bed. She probed her snort with her hand, looked at the bleeding again, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said very excitedly: "There is really a god to bless you! Mother and child are safe!"

I was relieved, but I couldn't help but silently look at the woman who was still unconscious, and I was full of emotion.
