She muttered to herself, "I really don't know what you mean by delivering a baby. I've worked in fruit and vegetable fields all my life, and I've never delivered a baby before!"

Jun Zhao was playing with the blade in his hand, and suddenly frowned and said, "This knife is still too sharp."

Yingqi understood immediately, walked to the long table, selected a pair of blunt scissors, presented them to Junzhao and said, "Master, use this pair, it is best used to twist the ears. One cut will not cut the skin, but will tear the flesh into pieces, which can make people feel extremely painful, but will not kill them."

Jun Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the scissors, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Just as she was about to take it, the old lady covered her ears and begged for mercy: "I think... I remember that I did help deliver a baby sixteen years ago... Don't pinch my ears..."

The old woman's voice was shaking as if mixed with sand, hoarse and unpleasant.

Jun Zhao's eyes darkened slightly, and his patience was gradually exhausted.

In order to save her life, the old woman dared not hide it any longer. She blurted out while recalling, "That day I carried it as usual..."

The old woman's name was Wan Gu.

That day was just like any other day, he carried a basket of fruits and vegetables and prepared to go to the town to exchange them for some money.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, we suddenly met a luxurious carriage.

A woman in the carriage desperately called out, "Master, hold on, we'll find a doctor soon."

There were several guards in armor standing next to the carriage at that time.

Wan Gu was a country bumpkin, and had never seen such a magnificent carriage before. She was sure that the people inside were either rich or noble.

She had some basic medical skills and was tempted to make some money with her mediocre medical skills.

So I plucked up the courage to step forward and ask what had happened.

When the guard heard that she knew medical skills, he immediately reported it to the people in the carriage.

Soon she was invited into the carriage smoothly.

The moment the car curtain was opened, she froze in place.

Staring at the scene in front of him in amazement.

She simply couldn't believe that there was such a bright and beautiful woman in the world.

Although her face was pale, her stunning beauty could not be concealed, as if she was a fairy from heaven.

She, a woman, had misunderstood God.

It was only after the maid beside her reminded her that she came to her senses and hurriedly climbed into the car.

The woman was six months pregnant. The mat beneath her was wet, with amniotic fluid and blood mixed together. It was obvious that she was about to give birth, but the situation did not look good.

She had no experience in delivering babies.

Looking at the situation, she was afraid that if she accidentally killed the beauty and the child, her husband's family would kill her.

The thought of retreating flooded into her mind, and she waved her hands hurriedly: "I'm afraid this will lead to a difficult birth. I can't deliver the baby!"

As he said this, he was about to get out of the carriage.

Unexpectedly, the woman who was faintly in a coma grabbed her wrist, and with a firm look on her delicate face, she pleaded: "No matter what method you use, help me save my child, I... I will reward you handsomely."

She finished her words in a soft voice, and the maid immediately took out a heavy bag of silver from the corner of the carriage and handed it to her.

Wan Gu felt the outlines of silver ingots through the purse. At that moment, she really felt like she had fallen into a nest of silver, and her breathing trembled.

That's silver. Even if she had to carry the fruits and vegetables back and forth hundreds of times every day, she might not be able to exchange it for a single ingot of silver.

Feeling the fullness of the silver in her hands, she opened her purse and took a look. She was so excited that she couldn't speak, and her hands couldn't stop shaking.

She had never touched so much money in her life!

Seeing that they tried to persuade her to stay again and again, she wanted to tell the truth.

Tell them that my medical skills are just from flipping through a few pages of medical books and are not up to par.

You might even kill someone accidentally.

But looking at the silver in her hand, her eyes were burning with joy and she decided to give it a try.

The calculations in her mind were mistakenly seen by the beauty as her hesitation.

So he spoke again: "You don't need to worry about me, just save my child, and all the valuables in this carriage will be yours."

There was a trembling light in Wan Gu's eyes, especially when she saw the beauty's body. Even a single piece of jewelry would be enough for her to eat and drink for free for several months.

Her eyes unconsciously fell on the jade pendant around her waist.

The jade pendant was obviously made of top-grade mutton-fat jade. Although she was poor, she had seen the world before.

You can tell at a glance that the jade pendant is of great value.

When the woman saw her staring at the jade pendant, she lowered her beautiful eyes and pulled the jade pendant off her waist.

Wan Gu thought she would give it to her right away, but the beauty was not a fool and said, "Help me deliver the baby, and the jade will be yours."

"master!"

The maidservant obviously disagreed, but the woman waved her hand to stop her from talking.

Wan Gu did not hesitate any longer. People die for money and birds die for food.

Since she said so, I won't be polite to her.

She said, "Okay, I will definitely help you deliver the baby safely."

Although Wan Gu had no experience in delivering babies herself, she had helped deliver babies in the village and knew a thing or two about it.

"Maybe God saw that I had been poor all my life and finally opened my eyes. I actually helped that woman deliver the baby."

When the old woman thinks about the scene at that time, she still feels her heart beating faster and can't believe it.

"A boy or a girl?"

The dagger in Jun Zhao's hand stopped spinning at some point.

His half-closed eyes revealed no emotion in the dim light.

Wan Gu's greedy look disappeared immediately, and she answered truthfully: "It was a little girl. The woman gave birth prematurely. When the child was born, her face was purple. I was shocked at the time and thought she couldn't be saved. Who knew..."

Wan Gu seemed to find it incredible and couldn't help shaking her head. "I was inexperienced at the time, but the woman was really cruel. She slapped the soles of the child's feet for a long time. Miraculously, the girl actually breathed a sigh of relief, but she wilted again after crying for a while. She probably won't survive..."

Jun Zhao tilted his head, and his cold gaze finally fell on the old woman.

"Are you sure that woman gave birth to a daughter? Only one?"

Under that cold gaze, Wan Gu felt that this dark place became even more eerie and terrifying.

Her pupils trembled, and she trembled as she said, "It was a daughter, just one. I saw it clearly. After the girl came out, the woman's stomach suddenly deflated, and then there was no reaction."

Jun Zhao's deep eyes deepened slightly.

Sixteen years ago, the general's wife gave birth to a son and a daughter in Shouchun, Youzhou.

Shouchun is where the old woman lives.

But from this person's explanation, it seems that he is not talking about Mrs. Mu.

Jun Zhao said: "Then where did the mother and daughter go?"

Wan Gu's heart tightened and she said, "I took the silver and gold and silver jewelry and got off the carriage. I heard the patrolling guards from afar. It was a chaotic time, so I didn't dare to stay for long. I only saw them driving the carriage south."
