Chapter 42: A snake was born
Chapter 42: A snake was born
If you want to describe the scene in front of you, what Fang Jun's mind thinks of is the severed snake belly, hollowing out all the flesh and blood inside, leaving only a layer of skin, slowly rising up, the top is firm, and what he sees is a sky.
The bottom was rounded, surrounded by torches, whistling in the wind, and not far away in the open space was a row of simple houses, each separated by wood, and the floor was covered with heavy straw.
And this scream came from above the haystack.
It's not a person, Fang Jun glanced at it, there are more than a dozen of them, and they are more than a dozen women.
Some women's faces were flushed and they let out low moans from time to time, and some of them were biting white towels in their mouths, their faces distorted, their expressions painful, tears and sweat mixed together, pouring down their cheeks like water.
More than a dozen old women were working in an orderly manner around them, and middle-aged women were shuttling through the crowd with bibs and wooden barrels in their hands.
The sound of cries and buckets colliding made this small but seemingly endless open space unusually lively.
However, this kind of excitement made Fang Jun's body stiffen in place.
It's not that he doesn't want to make a sound, but when he wants to speak, the voice gets stuck in his throat and releases, not because he doesn't want to move, but his limbs are already stiff, because what he sees in front of him is a scene he has never seen before.
Those women are giving birth!
The coat worn by the upper body was soaked with sweat, while the lower body was covered by a sackcloth, and the legs were spread, and the old women were doing the work of delivering babies with the breathing of the pregnant women, who were obviously beyond the compound, and each was worse than dead.
Speaking of which, Fang Jun has also seen childbirth, although it is all painful, but it seems that it is indeed the first time.
"It's not a difficult birth," Fang Jun muttered, "but if it's a difficult birth, why are there so many people here at the same time, and if it's really a difficult birth, why don't you use caesarean section, why don't these pregnant women torture themselves like this......"
However, the biggest secret in Fang Jun's heart took root in the entanglement, asking himself, or was it ...... they gave birth to What is it exactly......
Is it a person, or is it a ......
"I'm thinking about it again!" Fang Jun hurriedly dispelled his thoughts, if this woman was not born into a human being, could she still be a demon or a monster, and now she was so frightened by a snake that she actually said these ridiculous things.
Fang Jun raised his head slowly, but the self-blame in his mind just now was suddenly pulled back again, the hand on his chest was stunned, his eyes widened, the Adam's apple on his neck slowly squirmed from the top, and the sound of breathing seemed to stop abruptly.
He preferred to believe that what he saw was an illusion, that what he found was nothing more than an illusion, and yet ......
The unbelievable scene in front of me is actually true!
His gaze fell on the nearest woman, under the distorted face, it was a slender snake, white body, sharp eyes, bright red letters, the body of the snake writhed on the woman's body in various shapes, from the woman's coat glued with hot sweat slowly crawled out.
The snake was surprisingly docile, roaming around the woman's body, limbs, chest, neck, and the snake licked the sweat on the woman's face, but obviously had no intention of attacking.
The woman's face turned red, and with another miserable scream, the old woman's hand slowly withdrew from the woman's body covered by linen, and her hand was actually grasping......
It's a snake.
