From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Ailixi and her party accompanied Satyri to the home of the Utao boy.

After the Wutao people were helped to rectify their names by Ailixi, their living environment has been significantly improved, and they began to have the right to occupy a piece of land in the city to build houses, just like the Thebes.

However, due to well-known reasons, most of the houses of the Wutao people can only be built in low-lying areas that Thebes people do not want to live in, at the very edge of the block, or in places surrounded by high walls and unable to see the sun all day long.

It was such a building that Erich entered.When she entered the house, she bent down quickly to avoid hitting her head on the roof. After entering the house, she quickly turned her head and told Kong Si and Senmut to stay outside for the time being, and only brought Nanna, who was also a woman, to bow her head into the house.

Stepping into the house, Erich seems to have left the bright sun of Thebes and entered a dark space.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, and the air wasn't very good. Erich didn't complain, and just followed Satyri into the room where the Wutao woman was.

"This is the priest of God Amon..." Satyri explained softly to the people gathered in the room, "he came to visit Mengliwei."

Satyri's voice was full of mourning, which fit the atmosphere in the room very well.

Most of the Wutao people in the room were kneeling around the only wooden couch at the moment, and it was said that they were silently saluting to Erich.

Seeing the situation on the wooden couch, Alicia was shocked, turned around and tightly grasped Nanna's hand.

She saw lying on the couch a Wutao woman who was similar in shape to other Wutao people, and her height was basically half of a normal person. This young Wutao woman, who was not too old, had a belly about the size of a normal pregnant woman.

Ailixi is already an experienced person in this matter, and she already knows this young woman's petite appearance.

Not only her, even people who don't know anything about obstetrics can guess that this young woman will definitely not be able to give birth to this child.The fate of her and her child has long been decided, that is, they will die in the womb.

Alicia felt chills all over her body, and she deeply felt Satyri's mood when she angrily scolded fate and scolded this damned curse.

For a while, she looked at Satyri and asked with a suppressed voice: "Can't this situation be terminated early?"

What she wanted was to terminate the pregnancy early, and of course she didn't know how the medical technology of this era was——

The only thing that is certain is that as the Utao people, the doctors of Thebes, and even figures like Sekhmet's envoy, will not rescue them.

She didn't care whether others could understand or not, but Satyri understood her question tenaciously.

The Wutao patriarch said helplessly: "In less than five or six months, we can't predict whether the child will be cursed or not..."

Alicia's heart tightened: "You mean..."

The Utao divide children into two categories, those who are cursed and those who are not.

But it's clear that the cursed children are those who, like them, have the misfortune of having a dwarf body shape, and they want to pass on the curse they have carried for generations.And those who are not cursed, Erich guessed it should be those children of normal size.

But the problem is that women in Wutao can't tell whether the offspring in their womb are cursed or not in the early stages of pregnancy.

When it can be judged in five or six months, it will be too late to deal with it.The child can only stay in the mother's womb and grow bigger and bigger, eventually causing tragedy.

That's why Wutao people formed such a custom. When these unfortunate women are about to give birth, the whole clan comes to say goodbye.

What a helpless choice and what an unfortunate fate.

While Erich's heart was ups and downs, a thought in her mind gradually became clear: "You mean, among your descendants, children who are not cursed begin to appear?"

She lowered her voice as much as possible so as not to affect the sad and solemn atmosphere in the delivery room.

Satyr also replied in a low voice: "That's true... We once thought that we were finally going to get rid of God's curse, but... But the problem is..."

But the problem is that such a child who is not cursed cannot be born, and it will inevitably involve the mother, and eventually end up with a dead body and two lives.

It's really hard to say whether such a child is cursed or not, or this is part of the curse that the Wutao people bear - they clearly see hope, but this hope will only bring them more despair.

Alice closed her eyes immediately, and let out a long sigh in her heart.

Because of this, she didn't see Satiri's eyes full of resentment turned towards her, and when Nanna glared at her, she could only turn back resentfully.

The curse of the Wutao people cannot be blamed on Elyse, but Elyse did promise to help them get rid of this tragic fate.

After a while, Alicia suddenly opened her eyes.

Looking at the low ceiling in the room, she crossed her arms and said coldly, "Although you all resigned to your fate, I won't!"

She no longer deliberately lowered her voice, and everyone in the room heard her words.Even the puerpera who was crying desperately on the couch heard her voice, and turned her tearful eyes to her.

"Although you all think she is hopeless, I still have to try the last resort, to save her and her child..."

Alicia was still staring at the ceiling.

The Wutao people were all stunned.

They had never seen such a woman who refused to bow to fate and curse.

But at the same time, many people sighed in their hearts: Oh, this is because she is not from Wutao, and has not experienced the blow of despair.

However, Satiri, who is the leader of the tribe, sat there for a while, then suddenly turned over and came to Alixie, and bowed deeply to Alixie.

"Great God Amon, the most merciful priest of God, please, please give it a try no matter what, please give us a little hope, a little hope..."

Satyri kowtowed continuously, and the strong sense of drowning and unconcealable eagerness in his words infected all the Wutao people in the room at the same time.

The Wutao people immediately seemed to want to collectively grasp the last straw of Ai Lixi, scrambling to come to her and kowtow: "My lord, please save me, save me..."

The vast majority of them are not good at words, they can hardly speak in front of Alicia, they only know how to salute blindly.

But Alicia also heard their voices echoing collectively in the room: Please give us a little, a little hope...

"Miss, are you sure you want to do this?"

Nanna looked at Elysee very worriedly.

Erich herself knew that doing so was very risky.

She was trying to save one, no, two, lives that the Utao had given up on themselves.

Moreover, the risk of this operation is very high, she can't guarantee that the two lives in front of her can be saved.

Giving them hope and then finally letting them down is the real death blow and inevitably invites resentment.

But since Erich's goal at this stage is to establish belief in the God of Amon in Thebes and the entire Upper Egypt.

If she faced such a tragedy in the world and gave up like the Wutao people, then what right did she have to think that ordinary people could trust her?

After all, she still mastered such an unpopular spell as suturing, and now it is finally useful.

Facing the question from the God of War envoy, Alicia asked back: "Nanna, are you afraid of blood?"

Nanna straightened her neck immediately: "Are you kidding, is the God of War envoy afraid of blood?"

Last time in front of the temple in Thebes, Nanna almost soaked herself in blood, of course, most of it came from the blood of exotic animals.

"Okay then, Nanna, prepare as I say—"

As soon as Alixi ordered, she quickly mentioned the tools and items needed for a simple caesarean section, and she did not forget to order: "Nanna, go and get a [-]-watt... golden arrow cluster feather arrow. , I need you to help me illuminate."

The Wutao people seemed to be dreaming—they had already bid farewell to the doomed person with a heavy heart.

But a woman stood up and said: Don't say goodbye, don't give up hope, you can save!

Meng Liwei was not an exception. The entire Wutao tribe had long thought of breaking their heads, and they couldn't think of any way to save the dying mother and child, so they gave up their tribe and offspring with great pain.

Therefore, after being driven out by Erich, the men of the Wutao tribe anxiously asked Senmut and Kongsi who were waiting outside.

Even though Senmut is the High Priest of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, he can only shake his head in shame at this moment, expressing that he doesn't know what Erich intends to do, nor does he know that anyone in history has any way to help the mother and child .

The Wutao men could only wait anxiously outside, imagining the tragic situation in the delivery room out of thin air——

Not only because of the scary calls coming from the room from time to time, but also because people kept running out of the dark and low house, leaning on the wall and starting to vomit.

"Blood, all blood—"

A Wutao woman sighed while vomiting, but rushed back to the delivery room after vomiting.

It would be fine if the ones who vomited were all Wutao women. After a while, the men waiting outside the door were surprised to see that Nanna, the envoy of the God of War, ran out of the dimly lit house with a forty-watt coin in her hand. .

Like everyone else, he retched while leaning on the wall, then dragged his heavy feet back to the delivery room.

People were stunned: Even the god of war envoy...

Satyri, like the mother's family members, kept pacing outside, reaching out and grabbing the short curly hair on his head desperately, so as to relieve the anxiety in his heart a little.

Until a certain moment, there was a loud cry of a baby in the delivery room——

The footsteps and figures of everyone outside were instantly frozen.

They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

What did they hear?

Was that really a baby cry?

If this is not a hallucination, then this is the first uncursed baby born to the Utao after so many years of being cursed.

Hearing the cry, it was clearly a strong, healthy baby.

People looked at each other, saw the incredible in each other's eyes, and then they all became ecstatic.

The atmosphere in the delivery room seemed to be even more tense, and people heard Alicia shouting: "Quick, come help me..."

I don't know how long this chaos lasted, and everything finally calmed down gradually.

The Wutao women came out of the delivery room one by one, with moist eyes and tears, and they couldn't even suppress the excited crying in their throats.

The mother's husband and eldest son were dumbfounded on the spot, feeling as if they were thrown into the heavens and then immediately trampled into hell.

Unexpectedly, women came to the father and son in pairs and congratulated them one by one.

"Congratulations--"

"Mother and child are safe—"

The entire Wutao tribe, who had gathered here for a long time, heard what the women said, and burst into a wild and unscrupulous cry.

So much so that the people in Thebes nearby didn't know what happened, and they couldn't restrain their curiosity to probe their brains.

For the first time, a Utao man gave birth to a healthy, unaffected baby while also keeping its mother alive.

Nanna walked out of the low room with vigorous steps, holding a healthy baby with black and shiny skin in her arms, and handed it to the father who was stunned, and kindly reminded: "The baby is very heavy, hold it firmly. a little."

"In addition, your house is too short and will need to be remodeled soon."

When the child grows up, the traditional low houses of the Wutao people will obviously not be enough.

The father was full of thanks, but handed the child to the eldest son beside him. He wanted to take a few steps to go into the house to see his wife who had gone through a lot of hardships.

He was stopped by Nanna, "Your wife suffered a lot this time. Our lady said that all the wounds have been stitched up and the bleeding has stopped, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid of infection."

Hearing Nanna say the word "infection", Senmut, who had been quietly waiting by the side, flashed small golden symbols in his eyes, but he didn't seem to find any results.

A bit of surprise and doubt appeared on the face of the high priest.But then Senmut realized something, as if he understood the meaning of infection.

Nanna was babbling and pointing to the father, asking him to clean his face and hands, and change into clean clothes that had been exposed to the sun.

Erich came out of the low Utao house calmly.All the blood on her hands had been cleaned up.

But the blood-stained clothes on her body are still telling the world what a thrilling operation she just went through.

As soon as she came out, Satyri snatched her up.

The short Wutao man knelt down on his knees, bowed his head deeply, and saluted Ellich, but his nasal voice was so thick that he couldn't utter a word.

As the leader of the Wutao tribe, he was not such an emotional person.

But this time, Elyse showed him great hope, the hope that the whole tribe could get rid of the curse.

Unexpectedly, Erich didn't leave him any chance to express his gratitude.

She bluntly said to Satiri: "I have something very urgent, and I need to meet God Bais."
