"You all have a bottle of Yang-enhancing pills?" Yan Qing asked in disbelief.

Hearing the surprise in his words, the young man felt insulted, and said angrily, "Yes, they are all men, why are you pretending. Don't be embarrassed, this is a good thing, brothers understand it."

After speaking, he winked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing: "..." I don't understand!I don't need to understand at all!

Sensing Xie Shiyi's gaze from the side, Yan Qing wanted to rip this man's mouth off.In order not to be questioned about his ability, Yan Qing could only politely decline: "Thank you, brother, but you should keep this kind of thing for yourself. My fiancée and I get along very well, so we don't need it now."

The young man sneered, gave him a white look, and then turned his attention to Xie Shiyi.

Yan Qing was afraid that Xie Shiyi would hear such foul language, so he dragged Xie Shiyi away: "He doesn't need it either!"

The young man was furious from behind: "You will come to me sooner or later!"

It was only when Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi detoured to another street that he regained his senses: "The barrier city has now become a dysfunctional city? He must be dreaming, I will never use that thing in my life."

Ahead is an ancient bridge. Under the bridge, a boat with a black awning is swinging duckweed. There are many peach blossoms beside the bridge, and a few peach blossoms fall to the side of Yan Qing's hair.After Xie Shiyi reached out to brush off the petals for him, there was a smile in his eyes, and he asked softly, "If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?"

Yan Qing twitched the corner of her mouth: "Why, do you want to use it?"

Xie Shiyi said lightly: "I want to 'try'."

Yan Qing: "?"

Xie Shiyi took a step forward and stood at the end of the bridge, and immediately a boatman came forward and asked him where he was going.After reporting the direction of the Su family, the boatman collected the money and greeted them with a smile: "Go to the Su family? It's a good time for you two to catch up now. If Mrs. Su's child is born smoothly, the head of the Su family will definitely If you want to entertain the whole city, you can stay and have a meal."

Yan Qing was taken aback and said, "Child? Mrs. Su is pregnant?"

The boatman said, "That's right, I've been pregnant for nine months, and I'm just one step away." The old man sighed, "Now Zhancheng can be regarded as a newborn baby."

Yan Qing thought about the news that he had heard all the way before, and asked curiously: "No wonder, I don't see a single child on this street. Is it because the women in the barrier city are all weak and sick, and lingering in bed."

The old man smiled, but did not speak. He took a deep look at Yan Qing with his cloudy eyes hidden under the folds.

The old man: "When the time comes, the city lord will definitely be there. It's a happy event, ah, a great event."

He talked to himself, completely ignoring Yan Qing's question.Yan Qing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even laughed as if nothing happened: "The city lord will also attend, that's really a happy event."

The City Lord's Mansion in the barrier city occupies almost a quarter of the entire city, and it was built on the ruins of the five great families back then.It is difficult to get in and out of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord has been reclusive for many years, so everything in the city is in charge of the Su family's head.When Yan Qing handed the letter to the guards of the Su residence, the guards looked them up and down, and then whispered something to their companions.

Immediately a woman ran towards them with strides.This is the first woman Yan Qing saw in Zhancheng today. Her pale silver hair was tied down, she was wearing a black robe, her face was covered with wrinkles, but her eyes were as gloomy as poisonous snakes, and she frowned. : "It's a longevity lock for Madam, come with me."

The Su Mansion is magnificently built, with carved beams and painted buildings and rockery clusters. The woman led them along a path.Walking through the path, I came to a very quiet place, the bamboos were quiet, and there was a beautiful woman beside the half-covered window.

She was half leaning on the couch, with a blanket covering her stomach, and she was reading carefully with a book in her hand.

Because Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi are both men, the old woman told them to go in only one of them, because of Yan Qing, of course it was Yan Qing who went in.

"Ma'am, I am here to give you the Longevity Lock for the boss of Linxian City."

Mrs. Su raised her head. She was plump and had some flesh on her face.During pregnancy, her face was a little pale, and she had a graceful and gentle smile. "Thank you, I'm sorry." Mrs. Su put down the book and took the longevity lock from Yan Qing's hand, her fingers slowly brushed the lines on it, her eyes turned red with a smile.

Yan Qing noticed this, and smiled and said, "Ma'am, the boss specially asked someone to write the words on the longevity lock, and even took it to the temple to light it up for a second time. I wish you and the child in your belly a safe and long life." age."

Mrs. Su said in a low voice, "I have a heart."

Seeing that she was not in good condition, Yan Qing made a suggestion: "Madam, should you go out to bask in the sun? I see that your complexion is not good. You can walk around a little during pregnancy. It will be good for you and the child."

Mrs. Su held the Longevity Lock in her hand, turned her head to look at the bamboo forest outside the Xuan window, and said softly: "Thank you, but my husband told me to rest in this Xuan, I have stayed here for ten months, the last paragraph The time has passed.”

Yan Qing immediately praised and said: "Wow, Madam and Mr. Su are indeed a deeply loving couple."

Mrs. Su suddenly apologized and said: "Barrier City is now wide in entry and strict in exit. If you want to leave the city, you need my husband's order to leave the city. But my husband is now in the city lord's mansion and I don't know when I will come back. You are now resting in Su's mansion for a while." Let's go. I'll ask Grandma to arrange a place for you."

Yan Qing couldn't wish for it in her heart, but she still had a confused and shocked look on her face, and said eagerly, "Leave in and out strictly? Why? Ma'am, the boss didn't say that when he asked me to deliver things."

Mrs. Su may be the kindest person Yan Qing saw in Zhancheng. She looked embarrassed and said softly, "I'm sorry, but when I came to Zhancheng, there was already this rule?"

Yan Qing: "Can't you go out at will?"

Mrs. Su shook her head, and said, "Let's not talk about the barrier city, I can't go out casually even in this Youhuangxuan."

Mrs. Su waved her hand, and the old woman beside him who had been staring at him like a black poisonous snake immediately stepped forward and led him out.

The old woman warned him: "Be careful when you talk to Madam, if you dare to say anything nonsense, I will cut off your tongue."

Yan Qing blinked, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm just a gift giver, so you're so defensive about me, isn't it a little bit like an enemy?"

The old woman pushed him out of the bamboo forest, threw him a key, and said, "Choose any room in the west wing! This is not the place you should come to from now on!"

Yan Qing took the key: "Oh."

Xie Shiyi was among the thousands of bamboo forests, reaching out his hand to touch the white spots on the bamboo poles, lowering his eyelashes, thoughtful.

Yan Qing leaned over: "Yaoyao, what did you find?"

Xie Shiyi said lightly: "There is a formation in this bamboo forest."

Yan Qing raised his hand to pick up a bamboo leaf, rubbed it for a long time, looked up at the skylight penetrating through the bamboo leaves, curious: "It's like a barrier, what do you think it blocks?"

And this question, they got the answer the next day.

——Bamboo forest cuts off the rain.

It's raining in the barrier city.Yan Qing chose the room in the west wing closest to the bamboo forest, standing by the window, he could look at the bamboo forest in the distance.

It is rainy and foggy, and it is faint.The barrier city under the blue sky and white sun is ordinary, but when it rains, everything in the dark seems to come out.Damp, fishy, ​​and cold.

The wind is full of the fragrance of bamboo forest, but Yan Qing can still keenly perceive the smell of blood inside, which is both light and strong. The light is because the breath is as thin as a gossamer in the rain, and the thick is because even if it is as thin as a gossamer, it is frightening. I don't know how many years of piles of corpses and seas of blood can breed such a fishy smell.Where Mrs. Su lives, the blue bamboo forest seems to have a layer of white light all over it, blocking the rain from the sky.

Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi analyzed everything in Zhancheng, trying to connect them together.

"There are no newborns in Zhancheng, but where are the children before? Also, I still don't know what's wrong with those women in Zhancheng."

Don't talk about the city lord's mansion, he is at a loss even about the affairs outside the mansion.

At this moment, Yan Qing suddenly heard a scream.Someone ran over from outside the mansion crying and crying, "Grandma Guan! Granny Guan!"

It was a young man, and he came to look for the grandmother next to Mrs. Su who didn't look like a good person.

"Grandma Guan! Granny Guan! Save my child, save my child."

The man tripped over a stone in the garden, hit his face in a puddle, and fell to the ground.

The black-clothed Grandma Guan was followed by a group of guards, and she came out from the corridor, her face was full of sullenness, and she scolded him coldly: "Why are you looking for me? Is there no midwife in Zhancheng? I'm busy with Mrs. Su's business now. I don't have time to help you."

The man cried bitterly, hugged Granny Guan's leg and said, "No! Granny Guan, you must help me! If you don't help me, you won't be able to save my child! My daughter-in-law is now seven months pregnant. I think it will definitely not be a stillbirth this time, and it must be alive this time. I have been pregnant for seven months, and only you can deliver it!"

Granny Guan's tone was strange: "July?"

Man: "Yes, yes, yes! Granny Guan, you must help me. If this child is born, I will give you half of the benefits from the city lord!"

Grandma Guan kicked him to the ground directly, and said, "I lack your benefits?" Granny Guan said, "Take me there."

The man was overjoyed and crawled out from the mud: "Okay."

Yan Qing was stunned when he saw this scene.With his hands on the edge of the window, he jumped straight down gracefully.

Xie Shiyi sat beside him, frowning almost invisibly.

In high spirits, Yan Qing smiled at him and said, "You stay here first, I'll go and have a look."

Xie Shiyi Liuli was heartbroken, although she never mentioned her injuries when she came out.But from many of his performances, Yan Qing could see that Xie Shiyi's injury was not serious, so he didn't want to bother Xie Shiyi with such a trivial matter.

The umbrella I bought in Linxian City came in handy today.

The oil paper red plums were unscrewed and rainy and foggy, Yan Qing saw them leave the mansion, and followed them to join in the fun.

The young man was not a wealthy man at first sight, and he lived in a bungalow on the bank of the river.

"Grandma Guan, this way." He led Granny Guan and a group of guards from the Su family into a room at the end of the street.

Yan Qing was hidden at the end of the line, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine.They were not allowed to enter the hostess' room, Granny Guan entered alone, leaving a group of men standing outside the yard.

Yan Qing's attire was no different from that of Su's servant, he put away his umbrella, pretended to be congratulatory and said, "Not bad, bro, you're going to get rich."

A sentence based on the "benefits of the city lord" in his mouth did not expect to really attract the young man's eyebrows and elation.

"It's been several years, and there have been dozens of stillbirths here. It's rare for one of them to be pregnant until July, and it must be a live birth!"
