Yangyue

Henry Zhang opened his eyes suddenly, and the scene in the dream disappeared without a trace in an instant. He stared at the dark cabin, his chest heaving slightly.

Henry Zhang got up from the bed, closed his eyes and used his internal strength for a while, but did not find anything unusual.

Could it be that the bowl of soup medicine still has poison that he didn't realize?

Xian Wang, Xian Wang's son, and Min Jun Wang all had such nightmares about snakes one after another, and Henry Zhang didn't think it was a coincidence at all.

The spices sent by the sorceress earlier were useless to put on the table, and it would not be a problem with the spices. Could it be that this tea lake really contains the spiritual power of the snake fairy as those guardians said?

Qi Zhu beside her was sleeping peacefully, Henry Zhang stood up from the bed, gently opened the hatch, and looked out, the cabin was dimly lit, only a few candles were burning.

Henry Zhang quietly walked through the cabin and came to the deck. The mountains and forests at night are quiet and far-reaching. Except for these lucky boats slowly floating on the lake, there are no lights in the rest of the place.

After a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, Henry Zhang turned his head, and the visitor stood under the cabin porch, with a slender and tall figure against the dim light.

Henry Zhang looked at Qi Zhu, and slowly relaxed the dagger in his hand: "What are you doing out here?"

"I haven't asked you yet, you should ask me first." Qi Zhu walked to Henry Zhang, and put a robe in his hand on Henry Zhang, "I just woke up and found that you were not there, so I came out to see , it’s windy on the deck, be careful not to catch a cold.”

Xiao Yangyue looked at him quietly, although Master Hou was not married, this husband was well-dressed.

Qi Zhu looked around, although there was no one else around, but he had to guard against the ears of the partition wall, he approached Henry Zhang, lowered his head and listened to his ears: "This place is very strange, I am actually doing the same thing as King Xian, the son of Min County, and the others. Those nightmares of strange powers and gods."

Xiao Yangyue raised her eyes in surprise, Lord Hou also had a nightmare?

Qi Zhu didn't drink the decoction, which meant that it wasn't something in the decoction that caused the trouble. Is there anything on the boat or the lake that could disturb people's dreams?

There was a sound of shaking lanterns from far and near, and the two looked back, only to see a short, crooked figure slowly coming from the stern with a lantern, it was the sorceress on the boat.

The witch: "It's so late, what are you two doing out here?"

Qi Zhu hugged Henry Zhangyue into his arms with one arm, and said: "My lord, my lady doesn't sleep well at night, Xiaomin took her out to the deck to get some air."

"Perhaps Ma'am is not used to taking a boat, and it will be fine tomorrow." The light from the lantern blurred the old woman's face, flickering on and off, "It's cold at night, you two should go back to the cabin."

Qi Zhu agreed, and led Henry Zhangyue back to the cabin.Henry Zhang turned her head secretly, and saw the sorceress standing in place, with the lantern in her hand swaying slightly, but her body was motionless, like a lifeless stone statue.

In the past few days, everyone spent time on the boat, and the lucky boat never docked.

Every morning, all believers on the ship must gather on the deck to worship and chant, and the goddess will also send a bowl of soup medicine and a few pieces of spices at the same time every day.

The food of the believers is the same, a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns in the morning, noon and evening.On the morning of the second day of living on the boat, Qi Zhu and Henry Zhang were going to the stern to get food, but suddenly they heard a noise and commotion from the stern.

A porcelain bowl was broken on the ground, and the porridge spilled all over the floor. Gao Geng and his wife who were on the same boat as Qi Zhu and Xiao Yangyue stood there in panic. Jia Huan stood in front of them, and one of his side wives Being supported by the servant girl, she stood with her waist and stomach upright, her face full of disdain.

Jia Huan said angrily: "You stupid woman! Madam Ru who bumped into me, if you get gas in your womb and hurt your womb, how many lives will you pay for it?!"

The husband and wife turned pale with fright, Gao Geng hastily brought his wife and knelt down with a plop, and apologized repeatedly: "Miss Jia, it was because of my wife's carelessness that I accidentally bumped into Mrs. Ru, on behalf of my wife, I would like to extend my condolences to you Please forgive me, Mr. Jia has a lot, don't blame him!"

Jia Huan kicked Gao Geng to the ground with a kick in the chest, helped his wife into the cabin, and cursed: "Untouchable!"

Gao Geng's wife was sobbing and crying, but Gao Geng just kept silent and didn't dare to say anything, and silently rubbed his chest and got up from the ground.

Qi Zhu and Xiao Yangyue were watching all this from the porch, while Jia Huan's servant was driving ahead. When he saw them, he put on a bullying face and said viciously: "Don't block the road!"

Qi Zhu pulled Henry Zhang back to the side, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The Second Young Master Jia dared to smash up shops in the street in broad daylight, and the First Young Master Jia dared to rape ordinary people at will under the watchful eyes of the public.

Qi Zhu walked up to Gao Geng and his wife and asked, "Brother Gao, are you alright?"

Gao Geng's wife choked up hard: "Husband, it's all my fault... I just wanted to scoop up the porridge, and never thought that my feet would slip. I was so scared that I accidentally dropped the bowl and splashed the hot soup on Mrs. Jia Shao's shoes beside me." , frightened the wife..."

"Don't cry anymore, there's nothing wrong with you." Gao Geng comforted his wife a few times, and then said to Qi Zhu, "Thank you Brother Fu for your concern, alas...it's okay, it's worth it if you didn't hit the soul womb .”

"Brother Gao, there is no need to belittle yourself so much." Qi Zhudao, "Madam didn't do it on purpose, let alone Madam Jia Shao is fine."

Gao Geng: "Hey, Brother Fu, what you said is that the heaven and earth are not as big as the Great Immortal. This spirit fetus is the aura incarnation of the Great Immortal. How can we collide with it?"

After Gao Geng and his wife left, Henry Zhang said in a deep voice: "The sky and the earth are not as big as a fairy? A joke."

Needless to say, Qi Zhu also knew what Henry Zhang was thinking in his heart. If he wanted to say who is the biggest in this big world, the emperor is naturally the biggest.

Qi Zhu whispered: "Look at Mrs. Jia's belly, is there anything unusual?"

"Two months pregnant, it is absolutely impossible to be so big." Henry Zhangyue said, "There are no exercises in the world that can make a woman pregnant out of thin air, but there are some methods that make people's abdomen swell up and create false appearances."

"Oh really?"

At this time, Henry Zhang suddenly saw that the Great Protector and several disciples came slowly from the other side of the cabin, and the surrounding believers saluted the Great Protector one after another, so he stopped talking and followed suit.

That night, Henry Zhang had some strange dreams from the past again. He woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly saw that Qi Zhu, who was supposed to be sleeping beside him, also frowned slightly, sleeping very restlessly, as if he was also experiencing What a nightmare.

Henry Zhang's heart sank, and he was thinking about whether to wake Qi Zhu up, but seeing Qi Zhu's slightly frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, he had already woken up with his eyes open.

Qi Zhu stared at the bed curtain above his head, and then his eyes slowly fell on Henry Zhang: "...Why is the Lord Pavilion Master awake?"

Xiao Yangyue: "Did Hou Ye have a nightmare?"

Qi Zhu recalled the scene in the dream, and finally just smiled slightly: "It's not really a nightmare."

It's just that some things in the past were replayed before his eyes.

As soon as Qi Zhu finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of stumbling footsteps from the other side of the cabin, which sounded extremely panicked.

Henry Zhang immediately got out of bed and came to the door, pushed open the hatch and looked out, only to see a maid running out of the cabin at the end of the cabin, the maid's complexion turned pale, and she screamed in a trembling voice: "Where's the midwife?! The midwife Where is it?! Come quickly! The lady's water has broken! She's about to give birth!"

The whole ship was awakened by the scream, and the two midwives hurried out of the compartment, and the sorceresses immediately guarded outside the cabin of Young Master Jia's family, and began to close their eyes and chant sutras.

Qi Zhu heard the commotion outside and asked, "Madam Jia Huan is going to give birth?"

Henry Zhang looked at the maids and servants passing by in the aisle through the crack of the door, and replied: "Yes."

"I don't know what will be born." Qi Zhu also got out of bed and put on his coat, "When the spirit fetus is born, the great protector will definitely let these believers pray for blessings, and we will go out too."

Sure enough, the sorceress quickly knocked on the cabin doors one by one, telling everyone that the soul fetus was about to be born, and asked everyone to get up and change clothes, kneel quietly on the deck, and pray for the wife and the soul fetus.

When Xiao Yangyue and Qi Zhu came out, they only heard the screams of women coming from Young Master Jia's room, mixed with the voices of maids and midwives one after another from time to time, blood poured out basin after basin.

Jia Huan's other concubine was not yet in labor. In order not to scare the concubine when she saw the bloody scene, the maids specially helped the concubine out and brought her a soft couch to sit on the deck.

Mrs. Side was wearing a fox fur. Hearing the heart-piercing movement in the room, she couldn't sit still. Her face was a little frightened for a while, and her hand holding the maid couldn't stop shaking.

The Great Protector came from the stern of the boat. He came before the crowd who were kneeling and praying for blessings. He said calmly, "When a spirit fetus is born, the mother's body must bear the pain. It is inevitable that you must go through hardships before you can have great blessings. Disciples, please be born as a spirit fetus." Pray."

All the people kneeling on the deck responded in unison: "Follow the teachings of the Great Protector."

The screaming of the woman in the room was still horrifying. A servant girl staggered out of the room, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried to the Great Protector, "Master Great Protector, Madam is having a difficult labor! Madam has been in severe pain. , but the child... the child just can't get out, my lord, please save Madam!"

The great protector raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the spirit fetus not only absorbs the mother's nutrition, but also has the spiritual power of the great immortal. Madam will naturally work harder."

In the room at this time, the woman lying flat under the quilt had a purple complexion and a swollen belly, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help it.Both the midwife and the maid were terrified. Jia Huan sat on a chair beside her, his face ashen, trembling all over listening to his wife's screams.

The maid who had just left opened the door and came in. Jia Huan quickly grabbed her and asked in surprise, "What did the Great Protector say?!"

The servant girl cried: "Master, the Great Protector said that Madam must suffer this... let us not worry..."

The midwife was sweating profusely. While pressing the side wife who was twitching in pain, she asked the maid to pour bowl after bowl of labor-inducing soup for the wife.She looked at Madam's blue and black face, and her belly that was getting more and more swollen instead of shrinking, and she was full of panic: "No... No! Madam's stomach is not right!"

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Side's stomach swelled up like a ball, but Mrs. Side seemed to feel no pain suddenly. She lay on the bed with a pale face, staring blankly at the top of the bed, slightly opening her eyes. He pursed his mouth and looked dull.

Jia Huan stood up from the chair and said in horror: "What's wrong?!"

At this time, there was only a crisp and muffled sound, and the distended stomach shrank back as if deflated, and a terrifying blood red began to spread on the quilt covering the stomach.

A small black snake smeared with blood crawled out from under the quilt, and there was a dark, unknown object in its mouth.
