Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Happy Village 2
Qin Yao stood in front of the edged window, looking at the welcoming team surrounded by the bride entering the house in the yard.

The evening sun was gradually sinking, and there was a lot of people in the yard. The bride was wearing a red dress, and the top of her head was tightly covered by a red hijab. She didn't look tall, about 1.5 meters five, and her steps were very small when she walked. Qin Yao went to see her Although most of her feet were covered by the hem of the skirt, she still saw a pair of three-inch golden lotuses that were smaller than the palm of her hand.

A meter-long piece of charcoal was poured on the ground in the yard, and the charcoal burned scarlet. Even after a long distance, Qin Yao still felt the burning sensation of the charcoal blowing in the wind.

"The bride enters the new home and crosses the fire to get rid of bad luck. From then on, the husband and wife live in harmony and the offspring prosper. The bride abides by women's morals, prospers husband and son, is filial to in-laws, gentle, respectful and thrifty, spreads out branches and leaves, and takes care of housework."

Singing in harmony, the groom's mother stepped forward to take the bride's hand and led her across the coals.

Qin Yao frowned when she saw it, but the women around her looked surprised.

"The girl from the Qiao family has a big butt, so she is good at giving birth to babies. Maybe the first child will be a son."

"I heard that the dowry gift from the village chief's family was two taels of silver, including a goat. When I got married, I gave one hundred Wen and a hen."

"Old man Qiao is a doctor, so this dowry is worth it. Xiaoya Qiao has no brothers, and everything from her natal family will not belong to the village head's family in the future."

"I heard that Zhao Gui sold his daughter-in-law to Butcher Zhang in the village? It's worth a tael of silver, which is worth more than many young girls."

"Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law has been sold several times. I think she is happy. She likes to be a pawn wife. Bah, she has a baby with a man. She lays eggs everywhere like an old hen. She's a shameless bitch."

"Butcher Zhang even beat his own daughter-in-law to death. Zhao Gui dared to sell her daughter-in-law to him for a tael of silver, and he was not afraid that he would lose all his money."

"You don't understand, Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law has a strong stomach. You see, she gives birth to a son every time. She is a cash cow that can make money."

"What's the point? If she wants to be upbeat, how can she be a girl to Zhao Gui? It's just a low belly."

"Didn't Zhao Dashu's daughter-in-law give birth the night before yesterday? Didn't she give birth to another baby girl?"

"Isn't that right? That child was crying so loudly. Zhao Dashu's mother saw that she was a girl, so she threw the brazier away."

"A sin."

"What evil are you doing? Girls are losers."

"It hasn't rained for two years. There are no crops growing in the fields. Every family is hungry. Who has enough food to feed a baby girl?"

"I heard a secret formula that guarantees the birth of a son."

"What secret recipe? Tell me quickly."

"As long as you put the girl's heart and soul under the bed for seven to 49 days, you can conceive and give birth to a son."

"Really? How much effort do you need?"

The woman lowered her voice and said, "I want a bowl. If you don't have a baby girl at home, you can use a woman's heart and soul. This is a recipe I heard from my mother's family. My uncle used this method to give birth to three sons in a row."

"That's amazing." The women exchanged glances.

Huanxi Village is very poor. Although the village head's family has some wealth, they can't produce many good things.

There were only two dishes at the wedding banquet, mustard greens and sauerkraut fried meat. There were only some minced meat in the sauerkraut fried meat. No one in this dynasty could afford rice, and those who could afford steamed cornmeal were all wealthy families.

After the bride and groom finish worshiping, the bride is taken back to the wedding room, the firecrackers are lit, everyone takes out the food, put the bowls and chopsticks on the ground, and the guests squat in a circle on the ground and start eating.

While the villagers were eating, Qin Yao found Xiaoju and dragged him back to the thatched cottage at the end of the village.

"Mama, this village is so scary. I was at the gate of the village chief's house just now, and there was a little fat man next to him saying that his mother gave birth to a daughter half a month ago, and his father threw her into the ancestral hall and burned her to death. He didn't think it was at all. Some of them were wrong, and they said that money-losing goods should not live.”

Where did Xiaoju experience this kind of thing? Even in the primitive world, no parents would abandon their own children.

The two returned to the yard, and Qin Yao took out two boxes of lunch from the storage box. After eating, Qin Yao took out tools and began to tidy up the yard. As night fell, the wind howled in Huanxi Village, and the cry of a baby came from the mountain behind. Qin Yao put down the tools in his hand, and took Xiaoju into the mountain.

"Ma Ma, they must have gone to the mountain to lose the child again." Xiaoju was filled with righteous indignation.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Qin Yao saw a cloth ball tied to a tree, with a red rope tied to it, a foul smell came, and the cloth ball was surrounded by flies and flying insects, Qin Yao ignored it, Walk in the direction of the cry.

But she and Xiaoju walked around the mountain for several hours, saw hundreds of cloth balls tied to trees, but never found the crying baby.

It wasn't until the second night, the third night... that the cries of babies could be heard from the back mountain, and Qin Yao realized that there were no living babies in the back mountain.

When Zhao Zhangshi came to talk to Qin Yao, Qin Yao pretended not to mention Houshan's crying, and Zhao Zhangshi immediately changed his face.

"Did you really hear the crying?"

Seeing Qin Yao nodding, Zhao Zhang kept saying the word "doing evil".

"My son also said that he heard crying before, but I have never heard it, but in the past two years, no one in the village went to the back mountain to throw children. Why is that thing not scattered?"

"what?"

Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to say something, she quickly shut up and looked around. Seeing no one, she approached Qin Yao and whispered, "Have you forgotten? A Taoist priest came to the village two years ago and said that the killings in Huanxi Village were too heavy. Sooner or later, something will happen. The village head asked the villagers to pay for it. A total of ten taels of silver was collected. The Taoist took the money and helped clean up the ghosts of Houshan. In the past two years, no one in the village has heard the cry of Houshan. .”

Qin Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly remembered that on the day of the village head's wedding, a woman next to her said that it hadn't rained in Huanxi Village for two years, the fields had no harvest, and the villagers were starving.

"By the way, something happened at Butcher Zhang's house."

Qin Yao thought for two seconds before he remembered who Butcher Zhang was.

"What's up with him?"

"He's fine. It's Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law who is in trouble. Didn't Zhao Guidian give birth to a son to Butcher Zhang? Butcher Zhang heard a secret recipe for giving birth to a son from somewhere, so he abruptly took a bowl of blood from Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law. After a heart attack, Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law was tortured by him, when I went out in the morning, old man Qiao went to Butcher Zhang's house with the medicine box, and everyone said that Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law might not survive this time."

After listening, Qin Yao couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Zhao Gui's daughter-in-law is also a poor person. She came here as a refugee. She has no natal family, so she can only be tortured by Zhao Gui. Forget it, she was sold to an old man in the town to have a son. She died two months ago. After returning from the town, he was sold to Butcher Zhang by Zhao Gui, alas."

Qin Yao clenched her fingers tightly, she looked in the direction of the village, and said softly, "Where is Butcher Zhang's house?"

"Have you forgotten? It's at the head of the village."

Zhao Zhang glanced at the sky, patted the ashes on his clothes and stood up.

"I talked too much with you again, I have to go home and cook."
