Chapter 42 Who will pay for their lives?
Chapter 19: Too Many Skills Don’t Overwhelm Your Body
I looked at the three extinguished incense sticks and the broken red rope, and my heart tightened. This is not giving me any face!
Since you don't listen to good advice, you can only be rude.
"Brother Sun, go find some charcoal pot ashes and a big fork and needle."
After being possessed by evil spirits, there are two things that people are most afraid of: fire and needles.
The stove is the place with the strongest Yang fire in the house, and the ash at the bottom of the pot made from burning vegetation can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.
As for the big fork needle, it is a large iron needle that looks like a screwdriver. Women of that era usually used this kind of needle to hold the soles of their shoes.
After a while, Sun Qiao found all the ashes from the bottom of the pot and the big fork needle.
I quickly grabbed a handful of pot ash and smeared it on Dong Erniu's Yintang. I took Dong Erniu's palm and pricked his fingertips with a large needle.
ah……
Dong Erniu seemed to have suffered some great pain, his body struggled violently, and he kept hitting the wooden rafters behind him with the back of his head.
I pricked seven or eight needles on Dong Erniu's fingertips. Dong Erniu's pupils turned into a faint green color, and foam started to bubble out of his mouth.
No matter how hard I tried to drive him away, the white-furred fox seemed to have become determined by the weight and refused to leave Dong Erniu's body.
"Uncle Deng, cinnabar pen."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Deng quickly took out a cinnabar pen from the bag on his shoulder and handed it to me.
"The Infinite Lotus Flower Seal, Taihe Yinfu suppresses the three souls. Don't be surprised, don't be afraid, all evils will not invade..."
I quickly held the cinnabar pen in my hand and drew an eight-treasure lotus seal on Dong Erniu's eyebrows.
As the outline of the Eight Treasures Lotus Seal was completed, Dong Erniu suddenly screamed, and the green light in his eyes dissipated.
"Go find some grapefruit leaves and soak them in water. Wash his face to remove the bad luck. He will be fine in a few days."
At this time, Dong Erniu's empty eyes gradually regained some brightness, and his cheeks were full of panic.
I let out a sigh of relief, and finally drove the fox fairy away from Dong Erniu's body.
At this time, I saw that Dong Erniu had regained some consciousness, and he started sobbing heartbreakingly while holding Sun Qiao.
"Brother-in-law... that white-furred fox wants to kill me, you must save me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't skin it and eat its flesh..."
My heart skipped a beat, and I turned around and rushed to Dong Erniu, grabbing him by the collar.
"Wang Ba Dan, what did you just say? Were you the one who killed that white-furred fox?"
Dong Erniu was startled by me, his cheeks turned pale, and he nodded reflexively.
"What the hell is going on? Apart from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, you don't even go to the fields on weekdays. How do you know where this Fox Fairy is hiding?"
Sun Qiao had a puzzled look on his face. He originally thought that the white-furred fox was eaten by some wild beast, but unexpectedly, it was actually killed by the bastard Dong Erniu.
Dong Erniu's face was filled with panic, and he could only tell the whole story of the incident.
It turns out that some time ago, because Dong Erniu owed a large amount of gambling debts outside, the main creditors blocked the debts at home.
Sun Qiao didn't have that much money, so in the end he had no choice but to use the gold particles given to him by the white-haired fox to pay off the debt, and then sent the village leader away.
Unexpectedly, these gold particles attracted Dong Erniu's attention. He wondered where Sun Qiao, a poor hunter, could have so many gold particles, and whether he might have discovered some treasure in the mountains.
So he followed Sun Qiao into the mountain while Sun Qiao was not paying attention. As a result, he followed Dong Erniu around the mountain for several days, but in the end he found nothing.
Instead, I discovered the hiding place of the white-furred fox!
Dong Erniu couldn't find the treasure and worked in vain for several days. Dong Erniu was unwilling to accept it!
Only then did the idea come to the white-haired fox, so he secretly put medicine in Sun Qiao's food, so that Sun Qiao became seriously ill for no reason.
Taking advantage of Sun Qiao's illness for two days, he quietly went up the mountain with a sack and caught the three-legged white fox.
In the end, he peeled off the skin of the white-furred fox and took it to the town and sold it for 300 yuan. Now it was all squandered, and the fox meat was stewed and eaten by him and a few of his friends.
"You little bastard, I have to beat you to death today..." Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao became angry and picked up the broom and whipped Dong Erniu hard.
After hearing the whole story, I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart.
"No! If this white-furred fox died in vain and was skinned and eaten. If it doesn't let go of its resentment, the matter will not be over, and innocent people may be affected."
As soon as I finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from the yard.
"Sun Qiao...it's not good, Yulan is blushing."
Sun Qiao then quickly let go of Dong Erniu's collar, wanting to slap him to death, and ran out of the yard.
Dong Yulan was seen lying on the ground, her whole body curled up together, and a large portion of her trouser legs were soaked with blood.
Dong Yulan's cheeks were covered with fine beads of sweat, and she was about to faint from pain.
Several women in the village stood nearby, their faces turned pale with fright, and they were all at a loss as they started shouting into the house.
"Yulan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Dong Yulan's trouser legs covered in blood, Sun Qiao rushed out like crazy.
"Yu Lan seemed to be frightened just now. She suddenly turned red. It looks like she needs to find a midwife immediately."
"That's right, hurry up and find Aunt Seven..."
"Seventh Aunt is not at home. She went out early in the morning. She said she was going to stay at my daughter's house for a few days."
"What can we do? Why don't we send Yulan to the town now? There is a health center there."
"Our village is more than 20 miles away from Baishi Town on a mountain road. I'm afraid it might be too late."
Everyone in the yard was talking about it, but they couldn't think of a solution.
I frowned, Dong Erniu had just woken up, and Dong Yulan was blushing.
It's clear that the white-furred fox is causing trouble again, and it seems like it won't let it go.
Not to mention that there is no midwife in the village now, even if there is a midwife, it will not help.
As long as the white-furred fox refuses to give up, the child will not be able to be born safely, or it may kill two people.
"Carry her to the back room first, and I'll help her deliver the baby."
As soon as my voice fell, the courtyard fell silent for an instant, and all the villagers present looked at me with strange expressions on their faces.
"Does this little Mr. Yuan know how to deliver babies?"
Feeling the strange looks from the people around me, I also felt a little embarrassed.
After all, it was not common for grown men to deliver babies at that time.
"I have read some books about midwifery before, and I know a little bit about it. I don't think it's too much for me to have too many skills! Of course, if you don't agree, just pretend I didn't say it."
I'm not lying about this. There are indeed some books on midwifery in my second uncle's collection.
But most of them are some side jobs, either helping animals deliver babies or helping dead people deliver their vaginas.
