Yan Qing smiled, and put his hands on his shoulders. Even though he didn't know anything about the barrier city, he could still put on a show, and sighed, "It's not easy to be pregnant until July." The young man was probably overjoyed, panting, eyes A strange frenzy emerged from the inside and said: "Yeah, my daughter-in-law is also crazy about it."

Yan Qing sighed and said, "The city lord has really worked so hard for us to block the city."

The young man nodded: "Isn't it? There are fewer and fewer children in the barrier city. The city lord is very distressed when he sees this. Now it has reached the point where he rewards a child with a hundred taels of gold, but gold is not the key, the most important thing is holy water. "

When he mentioned holy water, the fanaticism in his eyes became even weirder. "If there is a live birth, my wife and I will both get a bottle of holy water."

Yan Qing wisely didn't ask about the topic of holy water, but the word is so weird that you don't even have to think about it.

The young man walked up and down, biting his fists from time to time, with an anxious and expectant look on his face, and looked into the house without blinking.Half a day later, there was still no baby crying from inside the house, and the young man's expression gradually changed from anticipation to panic.

Granny Guan quickly pushed the door out of the house. Both her hands were covered with blood, and her black robe was also stained with blood, but outsiders couldn't see it clearly even if she was hidden in a dark color.

The young man strode forward: "Grandma Guan, how are you doing?"

Grandma Guan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Stillborn."

The young man was as anxious as if his neck was stuck, and he raised his voice: "Stillborn? How could it be a stillbirth! It's been seven months now, and it's not a month or two like before. How could it be a stillbirth!"

Granny Guan waved her hand, and immediately two guards from the Su Mansion came up to pull the man, Granny Guan said: "I have already taken away the stillborn baby, and your daughter-in-law's life has also been saved, you go in and take care of her."

The young man still couldn't believe it. He rushed over and grabbed Grandma Guan's sleeve, his eyes reddened: "No, no, how could it be a stillbirth! It's been seven months, Granny! Granny, there must be something wrong!"

Grandma Guan thought he was annoying, so she kicked him away, and warned impatiently, "If I say a stillbirth is a stillbirth! Why am I lying to you? If I call a live birth a stillbirth, the city lord will be the first to kill me!" Get lost, I still have a lot of things to do with Madam Su!"

After she finished speaking, she left here followed by a group of Su residence guards.

The man was crying bitterly in the yard, probably immersed in the grief of losing his "child", kneeling on the ground and letting the rain splash on his face, the sky and the earth were dark.Yan Qing followed Granny Guan to leave, but after a while, she took another detour and ran to the wall in the backyard of his house.

Climb up to see what happened behind.

After the delivery, the room was full of blood. The young man had cried enough and went in numbly. He opened the window and pulled the curtain, and brought in a lot of water to wipe his unconscious wife's body.

The movements are very skillful at first glance, the young man's window is set high, so Yanqing can only see an outline, and vaguely hear the conversation between his wife and her husband after waking up.

"My child, where is our child?" The woman asked anxiously and excitedly as soon as she woke up.

When Yan Qing heard the voice, he frowned.There was no "comfort" or "expectation" in the tone of a mother under normal circumstances. It was hurried and frenzied, and excited to the point of being weird.

The young man was already numb: "I went to the Su Mansion to invite Granny Guan, a stillbirth, is this stillbirth again?"

The woman suddenly screamed: "Stillborn? How could this be a stillborn! I feel like he is kicking my stomach! It must be alive." She suddenly changed her voice and asked in a low voice, "You didn't come in when I gave birth ?”

The young man was annoyed by her noise, and angrily scolded: "When you gave birth, how could I come in! How could Guan Ruchun let me in!"

The woman was furious: "Okay, I figured it out, that bastard Guan Ruchun must have taken our child away, and took it away to exchange for holy water. Why don't you come in—" the woman said angrily, raised her hand and directly Slapped the man across the face: "I worked so hard to conceive for seven months, and now the benefits are all taken by others! You idiot! Idiot!"

The young man was not a vegetarian either, so he reached out and grabbed the woman's hair, cursing angrily: "Stinky old lady, it's because your stomach is not up to date, so you blame me?"

After giving birth, the woman was already very emotional, but now when he grabbed her hair, she let out a painful scream.The young man was completely fooled, and immediately let go and leaned over, "Daughter-in-law, are you okay, how are you?" The woman slapped him mercilessly on the face: "Don't make medicine for me yet. If something happens to me You have to be buried with my old lady."

The young man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to amplify his voice, he calmed down calmly: "Okay, okay, I'll make medicine for you right now, don't be angry, it's bad for your health. Stillbirth is fine, we still have chances later. "

The woman hated endlessly: "Go and keep an eye on Guan Ruchun! If Guan Ruchun comes into the City Lord's Mansion, it must be a fraud!"

The young man replied with a disheartened face: "Okay."

Yan Qing sat on the wall, listened to all this with a blank expression, and then looked at the blue rain on the sky of the barrier city, as if he saw a crazy and strange corner of this blood-stained and evil city.He originally thought that the women in the barrier city had a miserable status and were locked in the house and forced to give birth. Those women who disappeared in the barrier city before were probably also locked up and walked on this road.

He also wanted to save the young man's wife and ask for something.did not expect,

All this is far more complicated and crazy than he imagined.

The father is not the father, the mother is not the mother... Only those lives that have not even formed in the mother's womb are really used as victims.

Yan Qing jumped off the wall and came to a market relying on his memory of the barrier city.Bazaars are often places where all kinds of gossip spread. Yan Qing didn't dare to use spells in the barrier city, so he took some dirt and things to disguise himself, became a beggar with unkempt hair, and mixed in.The beggar can't see his face clearly all the year round, so no one can see that he is a foreigner.Yan Qing held a bowl and hugged a dark bun, squatting next to a table of people.

The people at that table are now talking about the young man on the bank of the river.

"Liu's second daughter-in-law really gave birth to a live fetus this time? Isn't he developed?"

"No, he's dead. He's going to have another tooth knocked out when his wife wakes up."

"Oh, it's what he deserves. I saw how he looked like a villain before."

"It would be great if children could be snatched from the outside like women."

"What are you thinking? Do you still remember the boy from the Li family who got the order to leave the city last time? No, he did this. He secretly brought back a full-moon child from outside. He said it was his own child, and then the child was killed by the people of the city lord's mansion. Choked to death."

"Oh, this way really doesn't work."

Yan Qing chewed the steamed buns slowly, listening to this group of "Zhancheng people" chatting enthusiastically, there was a kind of disregard for life in his bones, and he was proud of being a "Zhicheng people".

"How do you think the city lord saw that the child was not born in our locality?"

"The city lord's magic power is profound, so of course it can be seen at a glance. A baby born in Zhancheng doesn't need a mother-in-law from the clan's mansion to deliver the baby."

After Yan Qing finished eating the steamed buns, he suddenly interrupted and said strangely: "You guys said, is it possible that it is clearly a live fetus? The people in the clan's mansion insisted on telling you that it was a stillborn baby, and then secretly went to change the holy water secretly by hiding the child. "

In fact, Yanqing has two doubts about what happened before.One is why Grandma Guan came out clean except for the blood on her hands and clothes; the other is that the live baby can cry and move and is not small, so it is impossible to bring it out without traces, but that woman is so determined.

The people around the teahouse saw that it was a beggar who was speaking, and immediately threw a teapot at it: "Where is that stinky beggar! Get out of the way, don't dirty your eyes!"

Yan Qing scolded: "It's dirty eyes, it's fine if you don't look at us."

"Go! Go! Go!"

When it rained, it seemed that not only the bloody dirt surfaced, but also the violence in the bones of the barrier city people.But when Yan Qing was driven away, they all looked at each other and started discussing in low voices about the question Yan Qing had just raised.

"Don't say it, the beggar is not unreasonable to be worried."

"The clan's mansion has clean bottles that can be used to store stillborn fetuses. Do you think it can also hold live ones? After all, the clean bottles belong to the city lord's mansion, and the immortal family's things have great powers."

"……No way."

Clan mansion, midwife, clean bottle, holy water.

Yan Qing stayed for a while longer, squatting on the edge of the river bank to wash off the dirt on his face, and then wandered around the barrier city under an umbrella. He asked the location of the clan's mansion by answering questions.The clan mansion is located in the center of the barrier city, but it is hidden in a deep alley.There's a huge mansion here, and it's always crowded.People queuing in front of the gate were densely packed along Qingshi Lane.

Yan Qing held an umbrella and became a different kind inside, but he was a stranger, so he was always a different kind.

The people in line are all men.
