Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 172 zhu� child

Lan'er hurried to the door with the freshly boiled hot water basin, and the patriarch's wife immediately opened the curtain and took over the basin. Lan'er handed over the basin and walked silently to the window. In the room, Zhou Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.

Lan Er calmly took the small axe, calmly took the firewood next to the axe, and chopped it one by one. Zhou Xiaoxiao's cry in the room was like killing pigs, and Lan'er looked calm, as if she hadn't heard the sound.

This is the real honor and disgrace!

In the room, Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled the bamboo pole at the head of the bed with one hand and clenched the corner of the quilt with one hand. As the patriarch's wife stroked Zhou Xiaoxiao's belly, she encouraged, "This is coming out, this is coming out."

Out of the window, Lan'er couldn't help frowning when she heard the mother shouting louder than Zhou Xiaoxiao, who gave birth to a child. However, Lan'er soon returned to her usual calmness and calmness.

Lan Er put down the axe, patted the wood debris off her body, and walked into the kitchen with firewood in her arms. It took half an hour for the centipede to put the pot. Lan'er opened the lid of the pot, and suddenly a strong smell of centipede soup came to her face.

That taste can be described by the abstract word "vulgarity". What a smell is this? Lan'er, a girl who has lived in Miao Village for many years, can't stand this smell.

Lan'er frowned and stretched out her chopsticks to move the centipede in the pot, and the golden soup twisted wildly with Lan'er's chopsticks. It was also at this time that she suddenly heard a sound of "Ouch..." in the bedroom. Lan'er was shocked, hurriedly put her chopsticks aside, reached out to cover the pot, and hurriedly rushed to the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Lan'er asked anxiously at the door of the bedroom.

I only heard Lan'er's mother say in surprise, "This child... What's wrong with this child..." Lan'er didn't care about those rules, so she opened the curtain and got in.

When she got in, Lan'er saw her mother holding the bloody newborn baby in her hand. Before Lan'er's "congratulations" came out, her face twisted and changed.

I saw the child in Lan'er's hand, a black scorpion-like pattern lying dishonestly on the child's belly. The scorpion is so huge that it almost burst the child's belly. The blood on the child's body, drop by drop of black blood, fell on the ground. Lan'er is also a person who has seen blood, but she has never seen such strange blood. The blood is dark and even emits a stench.

Lan'er's mother hugged the child tremblingly, and the child lay motionless in the palm of Lan'er's mother's hand.

"Is it... alive?" Zhou Xiaoxiao, who had just given birth to a child, made a weak voice.

Lan'er couldn't help turning her head. When she saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, she took another breath of cold air. Zhou Xiaoxiao was stained with black blood. Her face was not as miserable as an ordinary mother. On the contrary, she was black and shiny like Bao Gong's face.

Lan'er has never seen Bao Gong's face, but she has heard that Bao Gong's face is black and shiny. Therefore, she is very sure at this moment that Zhou Xiaoxiao must be Bao Gong bent down.

Then, Lan Er suddenly found that a centipede-like thing scratched under Zhou Xiaoxiao's skin, as if swimming under Zhou Xiaoxiao's skin. Lan'er was so scared that she almost screamed. When she saw something else, Lan'er completely collapsed.

A scorpion the size of a chair is lying on Zhou Xiaoxiao's leg, quietly sucking blood.

Lan'er threw Xiaoxiao next week, turned over and rushed out of the door. All this in front of her was so exciting that she couldn't sleep for three days and nights.

"Is he still alive?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked weakly again.

Only then did Lan'er mother remember what she should do. She quickly held the child's foot and slapped him fiercely. According to Zhou Xiaoxiao's later memory, when Lan'er's mother's hand was less than the size of a nail cover from the child's buttocks, the child suddenly opened her eyes.

Lan'er's mother exclaimed again, and she was relieved before she slapped the child's buttocks. The child gave Lan's mother a fierce look and then closed her eyes.

Lan's mother has completely lost her temper. Since the child is alive, why hasn't she made a sound? Lan'er's mother summoned up her courage and slapped her again. This year, the child opened her eyes again and gave Lan'er's mother a white eye fiercely.

Lan'er's mother was completely speechless. It turned out that this child was born as a leader, only a few minutes after birth? Such a big brand is simply lawless.

In this case, Lan'er's mother had to give up.

"I don't know if it's a mute." Lan'er's mother said.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this, she was suddenly anxious. She immediately opened her closed eyes and ordered, "Fighten!"

Lan'erniang has the backbone, so she is no longer afraid of this personality child. From the moment the child opened his eyes and gave her a white look, she decided that the child was the reincarnation of the king. Except for the king, who has such sharp eyes? This look is enough to kill a piece.

With a slap, Lan'er's mother slapped the child's buttocks fiercely.

The child not only did not cry, but opened his eyes and gave Lan's mother a white look. Lan'er's mother was speechless. How could there be such a child? She is also the mother of the child and has never seen a child with such a personality.

"What? Or don't cry?" Zhou Xiaoxiao is a little anxious.

Just as Lan'er's mother was about to shoot, the child suddenly shouted out, shouting and kept kicking her legs, which seemed to strongly protest against Lan's rude behavior.

Lan'er mother didn't catch any of them, and the child almost fell from her hand. Thanks to her timely response, she immediately grabbed the child's leg.

"What an honest boy, thanks to the boy, if she can't even find her mother-in-law." Lan'er Niang muttered and put the naughty boy into the hot water basin.

By the way, Lan'er's mother picked up the blood-stained black clothes, which were piled up like a scorpion. It's not that Lan'er is wrong. There are too many strange things in this room. In case a stool-sized scorpion comes, you don't have to panic. Anything can happen in this room.

The boy seemed to feel much more comfortable as soon as he got into the water. He opened his body softly and opened his eyes to look at Lan'er's mother indifferently.

It is said that the child's eyes can't see anything, but the child's eyes seem to know everything. The life and death, joys and sorrows in the world are all in his eyes.

The child was quickly washed clean, and the black blood on his body dyed the basin into a strange ink color. Lan'er was very responsible. She wrapped up the washed child, and then put the child beside Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"The child doesn't have a name yet!" Lan'er's mother reminded.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao's two lines of tears immediately rolled down. She asked the king to name the child, but unfortunately, none of this was too late.

In my memory, the king seemed to be asleep, lying under the window**. His face was gray and gray without any blood, and his skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, clearly showing the outline of the bones, like a skeleton lying on the kang.

In the dream, she walked to him and took his hand, which was cold and bone-piercing. She pushed him gently and did not respond.

She didn't cry or a tear. She floated gently on his chest.

At that moment, she understood that there was no hell or heaven in the world. When a person died, his thoughts, behaviors and consciousness all disappeared at the moment when his heart stopped. He did not have to sigh the courage to meet the morning glory that opened in the dew, let alone the loneliness of the night without moonlight, his everything, ideals Reality ended at that seemingly small moment, and he didn't have to worry from the moment of death.

Just like the child in front of him, he is a new beginning, inheriting her and his bloodline. She did not hesitate to cultivate him into a baby. She expected that he would be the king of a new generation of worms. He would listen to his mother and avenge his father.
