Chapter 1671 Fighting

The team swayed forward, not very fast. The three of them were frightened at first. After all, the scene was really terrifying, but after walking for a long time, they didn't see any accidents.

"We...we just need to follow the team to the bridge. Don't we need to do anything on the way?"

Li Bai was not here, so Huang Jun could only ask Yao, Shun, and Yu if he had any questions. Among the three of them, he only thought Yao, Shun, and Yu were reliable. Moreover, Yao, Shun, and Yu participated in the previous night's mission. Several people died, and only he and Li Bai survived.

Yao and Shunyu were a little irritable. He was not in the mood to pay attention to such meaningless questions, and accidents happened accordingly.

Suddenly, the marching team stopped without warning, and then the crowd following the big sedan began to retreat. After a while, a small open space appeared in front of Empress Zhusheng and the village chief.

This incident instantly alerted Yao, Shun, and Yu, and the illusion in Huang Jun's heart was shattered. He saw several fierce-looking guys dressed up and escorting a person towards them.

The person being escorted was wearing a double-breasted short coat, unkempt hair, and her hands were symbolically tied behind her back. Although she had a big beard painted on her face, she could still tell that she was a woman. She seemed to be dressed like this on purpose.

After arriving in front of Empress Zhusheng, someone kicked her knee hard, and the man disguised as a man immediately knelt down in front of the sedan chair, trembling all over.

"Who is in the audience?" The village chief stopped twisting his rosary beads and looked down with a pair of frighteningly empty eyes.

The people in the audience kowtowed, "Xiaosheng Huang Qi, please show mercy to the village chief!"

"How dare you be a thief!" The woman with a round waist and big arms beside him shouted sharply, raised her hand and slapped the man disguised as a man.

The slap was so hard that it made the man's mouth bleed. After he got up and knelt down again, he became more and more frightened. His body was shaking like chaff, "I...I'm the thief Huang Qi. I ask the village chief...the village chief to spare my life!"

"The thief Huang Qi is of low status, but he is compassionate to the empress. If you need anything, please tell me quickly."

"Back to the village chief, my two brothers have been married into the Wang family in Heishui Village for some time. However, they have not been able to live up to their expectations and have not had any children for a long time. The head of the family plans to expel us brothers from the Wang family and put them into the Wang family. The pig cage was immersed in the Heishui River. I hope... I hope the village chief will be merciful!" The man who called himself Huang Qi kept kowtowing in the direction of the village chief and Empress Zhusheng, "I hope Empress Zhusheng will be merciful!"

The village chief continued to twist the beads on his hand, and after about ten seconds, he suddenly said, "It is a serious crime to have no heirs. It is understandable for your husband to deal with it like this. However, the empress is aware of your shame and is willing to be merciful to you and your husband." Are you two willing to give your brother a chance to survive?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!

"

Hearing this, the village chief showed a satisfied expression on his face, then waved his hand, actually took out a floral package from the sedan and dropped it.

After seeing the package, Huang Qi immediately crawled over on his knees, hugged the package tightly in his arms, showing an expression of ecstasy, and then held the package high in the direction of the village chief Zhusheng empress, "Thank you, empress, for the reward, thank empress for the heir! "

Hearing this, Yao, Shun, and Yu were all stunned. From where Luan Lihui was standing, he could just see the package clearly. In the next second, Luan Lihui's expression suddenly changed, his stomach turbulent, and he almost vomited it out.

In that package was actually a dead baby that had been dead for an unknown period of time. The dead baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes, with only one face exposed, and that face had long since rotted and was densely covered with maggots.

White maggots burrowed in and out of rotten eye holes. This scene constantly challenged Luan Lihui's endurance limit.

But then Huang Qi directly opened his clothes, and then carefully stuffed the dead baby in, and then wrapped it in clothes. From the outside, his belly grew bigger, as if he was ten months pregnant.

Caressing his belly, Huang Qi showed a doting smile, which made Yao, Shun, and Yu shudder.

Just when Huang Jun thought that this farce should be over, a shout with a strange tone suddenly sounded, "Hit...sheng...!"

As soon as this shout came out, the whole scene instantly became weird. Weird smiles appeared on the faces of all the surrounding villagers. Then the crowd made way for a passage, and five figures came out.

Yao Shunyu frowned. He had seen all five of them. The leader was Elder Sun, and the remaining four old ladies had given them things in the evening.

These five people still wore the same make-up they had in the evening, but their complexions seemed to be even drier, and even looking at them from a distance made them feel horrified.

What's more important is that at this time, several people were holding weapons in their hands, including whips, blunt knives covered with rust, wooden sticks, and an axe.

The leader, Elder Sun, was holding a huge pair of scissors and staring expressionlessly at Huang Qi who was kneeling on the ground.

Elder Sun and other five people surrounded Huang Qi. At this time, the surrounding villagers seemed to know that there was something good to watch, and they rushed forward one after another.

Seeing this, Yao, Shun, and Yu seemed to have thought of something. He had heard of the idea of ​​giving birth to a child. In some places, around the Lantern Festival, women who had been married for many years and had no children would go to the Chenghuang Temple with their companions to ask for a child, and they would kneel before the person asking for a child. During the statue ceremony, her companions would fold a few bamboo sticks and then gently slap the person seeking a child on the back. However, the scene in front of him was in great conflict with what he understood.

"A dozen thieves will have no heirs!"

…

"Hit... gave birth to...! Two dozen male thieves entered the house!"

…

"Hit... to life...! Beat the thieves three times and destroy the family!"

…

"Hit... to life...! Four dozen thieves are not lucky enough!"

…

"Hit...sex to death! Five dozen thieves will be shamed!"

…

"Hit... raw...! Six dozen thieves..."

…

Accompanied by the overwhelming shouts of the onlookers, the four old ladies kept greeting Huang Qi with whips, axes and sticks in their hands. Some villagers picked up the surrounding stones and moved towards Huang Qi, who was rolling on the ground in pain. Hit Qi on the body.

However, although the scene was terrifying, Yao, Shun, and Yu could see that none of these people had killed themselves. The pain was definitely painful, but it was not fatal. Raising them might not leave any disability. This was more like a way to obtain heirs. Mysterious rituals.

Although it is a bit evil, it is understandable considering that these people are worshiping Empress Zhusheng.

Yao and Shunyu also noticed a very important point. No matter how painful the beating was, the woman pretending to be Huang Qi never screamed, and she did not protect her head or ribs. She was always protecting herself. belly.

To be precise, it should be the dead baby hidden in the belly.

"Are you alive or not?" Elder Sun asked loudly.

"born!"

"Does it hurt?"

"No...it doesn't hurt!"

Elder Sun and others were overjoyed. At the same time, they took back their weapons and shouted to Empress Zhu Sheng in unison, "Happy...Happy...!"
