Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the lights in the house were brightly lit, and everyone in the house got up, as if something urgent happened at home. "Ouch, it hurts to death." "Why is it born at this time, isn't it a month away?" "Premature." "Then what should we do?" The two elders obviously had never encountered such a situation, like ants on a hot pot kept spinning. "Mother, go quickly, go and call Wen Po! Call Zhang Ma! Ask her to deliver my baby here." At this time, Guo Cui became the most sober person.

"Yes, yes, find Zhang's mother. It's late at night, and she must be asleep. Is it appropriate?" Zhou Kai's father said. "What time is it? Is Tweety's life or Zhang's mother's sleep more important? Go quickly, even if you are tied, tie him here!" Old Man Zhou said loudly. "Yes yes yes. I'll go right away." Zhou Kai's father responded quickly, trotting out all the way. After a while, Zhou Kai's father ran back with a very fat woman in her 40s. "Hey, why is this so? Why didn't you call someone earlier, listen to me, Tweety, breathe in, use your strength. Zhou Kai, bring your mother's washbasin, Zhou Xin, boil water for your daughter-in-law, you need to use The fire is burning, go quickly, Father Zhou, go and get some straw and clean clothes that Zhou Xin usually uses, yes, bring me the big pair of scissors that Cui Er usually uses, premature birth is no joke, come on! It’s not good to kill twice. Bah, bah, bah, I’m a stinky mouth, is there anyone in the family, this battle..."

"Auntie, do you need help?" Wei Ning walked over. "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Hurry up, come over and give me a hand, support Tweety... For this, Tweety, push hard..." Except for Wang Tuozi, the family was busy at once. Wang Tuozi looked at everything in front of him coldly, counting with his hands in his sleeves, and unconsciously showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. "Oops, the butt is coming out, it's a dystocia, boy, get out first, don't make trouble here, Tweety, work hard, work hard." "Oops, 'afterbirth' (afterbirth: refers to the general term for placenta and fetal membranes.) is taken off, what should I do. Dystocia, Zhou Xin, should it be smaller or bigger?"

Zhou Xin's face changed drastically. He knew that Mama Zhang was asking him to choose whether to have a child or an adult, so he hurriedly said, "Can't both be safe?" "No," Zhang Ma said urgently, "make a decision quickly, and be careful if it's too late!" "My lord, if the child can't be born again, Tweety can't have anything to do." Father Zhou made a final decision. "it is good!" Time passed by every minute and every second, Guo Cui's cry inside the room became weaker and weaker, Zhou's father was sweating profusely outside, and after a while, a baby was crying inside the room, Zhou's face was happy, but it was just a cry. , There was no sound in the house soon.

After a while, Zhang Ma came out with a dejected expression: "I have tried my best... Find a place with good Feng Shui to bury this child. The son is about to live, and the mother is about to die. Both lives are in the hands of the king of Hades." The paper, this is life, Tweety has been tossing all night, Zhou Xin, go in and have a look." Father Zhou took out the prepared red envelope and handed it over. Mama Zhang glanced at the bowl of brown sugar water and longevity noodles that the master had prepared for her. There were also two eggs in it. After frying, the top was still steaming hot, and sighed: "Forget it, the children are gone, and the happy event has turned into a funeral, so forget it, alas. Poor Tweety, poor child." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but sigh Feeling a while.

Everyone in the room suddenly fell into a strange silence, Zhang Ma walked out silently, "Oh, it's raining, it didn't rain when I came here, do you have an umbrella at home, lend me one, and bring it over tomorrow." Wei Ning returned to the guest room with Wang Tuozi knowingly. The two seemed to be affected by the family's sadness. They didn't speak to each other. The night passed quietly, and the light rain outside the window fell all night. Farmers are mostly hardworking. The next morning, the sky is bright. Although a huge change happened at home, life still has to go on. Father Zhou got up to hunt pigweed as usual, but when he walked to the hall, he was terrified by everything in front of him. The sickle in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he shouted heart-piercingly: "Tweety!"

I saw a white silk tied to the beam, Tweety's feet were off the ground, her whole body was shaking in the air like a piece of paper, her eyes were protruding, and she was holding the poor baby who died before she had time to look at the world .Apparently dead for a long time. Guo Cui hanged herself! Losing two lives in a row in one day is an unbearable blow to any family. Father Zhou aged a lot in a short time. When Guo Cui was rescued from the beam, Guo Cui's whole body was already stiff , Even if there is a Daluo Immortal, I am afraid it will be difficult to return the sun. It seemed that the pain of losing a child had completely stimulated her, and she made such an extreme choice.

Zhou's father and son hugged Guo Cui's frozen body tightly, and the crying was heartbreaking. At this time, Wei Ning and Wang Tuozi had already woken up. Seeing what happened in front of him, Wei Ning's eyes were red, and he couldn't help crying. Wang Tuozi gave him a hand. This was obviously not the time to say goodbye to his master. Wang Tuozi pulled Looking at Wei Ning, he planned to leave without saying goodbye. When Wei Ning and Wang Tuozi walked out of the gate, Zhou Xin's cold voice came from the room: "Are you planning to leave like this?" "Oh, yes," Wang Tuozi bowed three times in front of Guo Cui with Wei Ning, took out a 30 yuan round head from his pocket, handed it to Zhou Xin, and said sadly: "Death can't be resurrected, and the villagers still mourn. "

Zhou Xin didn't even look at the money Wang Tuozi handed over, and said coldly, "Is that how you plan to leave?" "What else can you do, the incense is on, and the kneeling is also on the knees. Is it possible that the two of us will help you and keep your filial piety?" "exactly!" "Hehe, funny," Wang Tuozi smiled instead of anger, "The old man has lived for so many years, and he has never heard of such a request. It's interesting, interesting, but I'm sorry, I have something urgent, I'm leaving first, you take your time." .”

"Master," Father Zhou stopped Wang Tuozi, "I know that such a request is a bit too much for you, but we have a reason, because two people in our family died when you came, it is really... so , if you leave...it won't be good, so please stay a few more days, after the first seven days, I will send you away." "No, my mother must be anxiously waiting for me to go back!" Wei Ning quickly protested. But Wei Ning suddenly found that many people came around, and everyone looked at them very coldly, even with some hatred.The folks here are very friendly, and the folk customs are also very tough. If you are nice to you, you can help with anything. When you fight, you only recognize your relatives and ignore them, but if you want to be arrogant in front of them, they will usually attack you. Black and ruthless, so since ancient times, Xiangxi has been rich in "bandits".The peasant family is very xenophobic. When Wei Ning and the two stayed overnight yesterday, if Guo Cui hadn't reluctantly agreed for the sake of money, they really couldn't find a place to sleep.

"Damn it, everyone said don't keep them overnight, they are thugs!"
