On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe followed outside the small courtyard. Before they entered, they saw fire inside.

Reminiscent of the two people who came out to hold firewood just now.

In addition to the two people just now, there were other people in the yard. It seemed that there should be five or six people.

There was a large pot standing in the yard, boiling hot water. There was burning firewood under the pot, and the red flames were licking the bottom of the pot.

For some reason, this scene did not make Yan Ruyu feel warm, but instead made her feel cold.

Huo Changhe pointed to the back of the room, led her around to the back, and jumped onto the slope of the back room.

Looking down, everything in the courtyard is visible.

Sure enough, there were five people in the yard, two chopping wood, two lighting a fire, and one pouring hot water on a long table next to it.

Yan Ruyu glanced at other places in the courtyard. The furnishings in the courtyard made her feel a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

Just as she was wondering, Huo Changhe said in her ear: "The layout of this courtyard is a formation."

"Formation?"

"Yes, look, the pot, the table, and the southeast of the yard," Huo Changhe pointed.

"In that place, these three things are connected in a line, namely the eye of the formation, the middle of the formation, and the evil spirit."

Yan Ruyu saw all the pots and tables, except for the thing in the southeast.

She looked in the direction Huo Changhe pointed and saw an urn-shaped black thing.

It was very big, with a small mouth and a big belly, and was pure black, so Yan Ruyu didn’t notice it at first.

As soon as she saw this thing, Yan Ruyu shuddered even more, and the cold feeling just now escalated instantly.

what is that?

She wanted to find out, but suddenly felt that she didn't dare to look.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard a whimpering and struggling sound.

Huo Changhe pointed to the back window and took Yan Ruyu down.

The house is dilapidated, and you can see what's going on inside without breaking the window paper.

The light was dim, and there was a person with his back to the window, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. Opposite him was a pregnant woman, her clothes were thin, and her hands and feet were red and purple from the cold.

She probably felt that there was no way she could escape, as she was not tied up at all, and now the man was holding her legs down, holding her chin, and was about to give her medicine.

"Ugh!" The pregnant woman bit her lip, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and struggled hard.

"This is your life and your honor. It's best not to struggle anymore."

The man spoke, his voice low and dark, with a strange chill in it.

It was Mrs. Qi.

Pregnant women don't listen at all, who would want such an honor?

She protected her belly with one hand and opened the medicine bowl in Old Master Qi's hand with the other hand.

"Bang!" With a sound, the medicine bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The medicine juice splashed all over the floor. It was rich and sticky, and the unpleasant smell dispersed instantly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then slapped the pregnant woman angrily: "You ungrateful thing! If you don't drink the medicine, you will be dissected alive! You will be hurt to death by then."

The pregnant woman burst into tears and stared at him fiercely.

The old man snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and two people came in from outside: "Here's another bowl of medicine."

One of them said: "This woman is too stubborn. Why don't we let her take the medicine and let her feel some pain? Anyway, she won't survive in the end."

The old man looked at him and said, "What do you know? It's a trivial matter to hurt her to death. The important thing is that she must still be alive when the placenta is taken out. If she dies early, my things won't be usable."

"Then haven't I wasted so much time in vain? I'm prescribing medicine, seeing doctors for nothing, and attracting pregnant women to come here. Why? Is it really to do good deeds?"

Old Mrs. Qi wiped his hands in disgust and looked at the pregnant woman on the ground: "Go and make some medicine and force her to drink it. If she doesn't drink it..."

The old man's voice seemed to have been tempered with ice: "My bowl of medicine is worth ten taels of silver at least. If you dare to waste it again, I will chop you into pieces."

"Including the baby in your belly."

The pregnant woman gritted her teeth and clenched her hands: "You will not die well!"

Old Mrs. Qi seemed to have heard something interesting and laughed: "Death? I have never thought about it, how can I die?"

Mr. Qi was too lazy to talk to her anymore and turned around to go out.

The door was closed, and there were five strong men in the yard. The pregnant woman was weak. Even if she was fine, she couldn't fight against the five men.

Yan Ruyu recognized her at a glance. She was Mrs. Chen, the old woman's daughter-in-law.

Yan Ruyu's heart was beating wildly, she was shocked and angry, and she was trembling slightly.

"You go and see what the old man is doing. I'm here to watch Mrs. Chen."

Huo Changhe was a little worried: "Are you okay?"

"Okay, no problem, go quickly."

Huo Changhe knew that she was suppressing her emotions at this time, so he completely followed her and left gently.

In the house, Chen walked to the door, looked out from the door cracks, saw the men, knew that he had escaped hopelessly from there. The pale face appeared a little desperate and instantly hidden.

She rubbed her belly and looked at the window behind her.

In fact, she had seen it countless times before. The back window was high from the ground, and everything in the room that could be used as a foothold had been taken away. She couldn't get up at all.

But I still don’t want to give up.

This time, when I looked at the second rear window, I suddenly noticed a face outside the window.

She should have been scared and screaming, but her eyes widened and she bit her lip to keep silent.

Yan Ruyu curled her lips at her.

Tears quickly welled up in Chen's eyes, and she ran to the window and pointed at herself.

Yan Ruyu fell into the house lightly from the window.

Mrs. Chen grabbed her arm and shed tears before she said a word.

Yan Ruyu whispered: "I know you, your mother-in-law is waiting for you to come home."

Chen's eyes widened again and tears flowed more fiercely.

Yan Ruyu took out a red fruit for her to eat. She was probably very hungry. The fruit was red and fragrant. She took it and ate it with big bites.

After the fruit was eaten, it was magical to say the least. She felt warm all over, her cold and stiff hands and feet were also warmed up, and the energy that she always felt was not enough was gradually filling up.

"Can you save me?" Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.

But I am afraid of being rejected.

After all, Yan Ruyu is just a weak woman.

"Yes," Yan Ruyu replied firmly.

Tears welled up in Chen's eyes, and she wiped them away fiercely. She was about to kneel down, but Yan Ruyu held her back.

"What medicine did they give you?"

"I don't know, but it's not a good medicine. It should make people lose their sense of pain. Wait..." Mrs. Chen paused and turned pale. "When the stomach is opened, it will bleed all over the floor without feeling any pain. The fetus was still alive when it was dug out.”

She couldn't say anything else, her eyes were filled with fear and her lips were trembling violently.

Yan Ruyu patted her shoulder: "They will come in with medicine later. Don't be afraid. Pretend to cooperate and I will subdue them."

Yan Ruyu took out a thin stick of incense, lit it, and quietly placed it in an inconspicuous place, and then gave Chen an antidote.

Chen swallowed: "What else do you need me to do?"

"Wait patiently until they deliver the medicine."

Mrs. Chen nodded vigorously: "Okay."
