Chapter 257 Birth
Lu Zhuangyuan continued to explain to his eldest son: "The little Taoist master is a person who does big things. Don't think that he will care about this little thing, but he doesn't care. We people have to be discerning in our work!"
"Besides, this might be an opportunity for our Lu family! Didn't you hear what the scholar said, that fat man with a colorful face asked the Taoist Master to reward him with magical powers? We can't be better than him no matter what, right? What's going on here, I'm in bed alone Think about it carefully while you’re in there.”
Lu Juren stared at his father's old face with wide eyes. It turned out that the reason for the other man's going around was this.
"Ask less and do more! Don't think about what you have and don't have every day." Lu Zhuangyuan pulled his son and walked towards the carriage.
After a while, the Lu family troupe took advantage of their free time to start singing and performing tricks. Seeing that the troupe was about to be set up again, this basic skill of singing could not be neglected.
After lunch, everyone started to set off, heading towards Liang Guo with some anticipation.
They still didn't know their current specific location, but seeing that the green grass on the ground began to loosen and was replaced by some scattered shrubs, everyone understood that they were very close to Liang Guo.
As the sun gradually turned to the west, a cry of pain broke the calm atmosphere in the oxcart. Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Luo Juanhua sitting on the oxcart.
She hugged her belly in a panic and looked at her skirt which was wet with amniotic fluid.
"Hurry! Hurry and put her on the carriage, the silk flowers are about to give birth!" Lu Zhuangyuan's voice made the others rush into a hurry, and also made all the bullock carts stop.
The women went to help, but the men stayed away.
"What are you going to do? You can't help me with anything." Li Huowang asked Bai Lingmiao who was rushing over.
Bai Lingmiao turned around and glanced at him with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "I'll go over and see how a baby is delivered. Maybe this knowledge will be useful in the future."
Li Huowang stepped on the wheels of the carriage, turned over and lay on the top of the carriage, looking at the clouds in the sky that were printed red by the setting sun.
Listening to the fussy sounds in the distance, Li Huowang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
Without hallucinations, Li Huowang had not felt so comfortable for a long time. He finally no longer had to struggle between reality and illusion.
"Taoist priest, you haven't been sick for a while."
Li Huowang turned his head and looked at the monk standing in the air, as well as Peng Longteng and Jinshan Xun next to him.
Although there are no more hallucinations, these three things are always with him.
"Well, Black Tai Sui has worked. I no longer have to fall into that hallucination. Haha, you know what? Actually, when I stimulated Wang Wei for the last time, there was just a trace of thought. Maybe that place is real. . What a pity, an illusion is an illusion."
Speaking of this, Li Huowang looked at the cloud that looked like Yang Na in the sky, his eyes straightened, and he said with deep nostalgia in his voice: "I actually hope that is true over there."
"Taoist, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Haha." Li Huowang turned sideways and faced the lonely green hills in the distance. "If you don't understand, just don't understand. Stop talking, otherwise others will think I'm sick again."
After a while, Li Huowang peeked at the carriage behind him. It had been a while, but he hadn't given birth yet.
He didn't know whether this period of time was too long or too short. After all, he had never experienced giving birth to a child in the past.
"Hope it goes well, if it doesn't go well, then I can't help much."
"No, I studied alchemy at Qingfeng Temple for a period of time before. Unfortunately, there is no alchemy furnace around me. I can't even refine the blood moistening pill."
"Hiss." A vague voice made Li Huowang suddenly sit up. After listening carefully, he found that there was no sound around him.
With a puzzled expression, he slowly lay down again, "Did I hear it wrong? Where did the sound come from?" After thinking about it, Li Huowang put his little finger into his ear hole and buckled it, and found that there was something.
As his fingernails continued to snap, a long bloody scab was finally pulled out from the ear hole.
The moment the blood scab was pulled out, everything around him became clearer, and even the sound of grass growing on the ground could be heard.
"It's too loud. This won't work." Li Huowang took out a pair of small serrated scissors, jumped out of the carriage, cut some wool from the sheep, and filled his ear holes.
"Huh! This is much better." Li Huowang lowered his head and put the small scissors back into the package of torture instruments.
"Huh? What is that?" Li Huowang looked at a small black spot on the top of the mountain in the distance. Unfortunately, it was too far away. Even with his excellent eyesight, he could still not see clearly.
"Wow~wow~wow~" The confident baby cried instantly, causing Li Huowang to turn around and follow the others towards the bullock cart.
As soon as he arrived at the bullock cart, he saw Lu Juren having a silly time alone, muttering in a low voice, "Hey hey~ I have a son, hey hey~ I have a son, hey hey."
When Li Huowang saw the crying baby boy in Bai Lingmiao's arms, he couldn't help but be a little confused. He was probably suffering from some disease. It was too ugly. Just like a little hairless monkey cooked in boiling water.
Chun Xiaoman on the side saw Li Huowang, who was starting to look solemn, and immediately knew what the other person was thinking at the moment, and quickly helped him clear up his doubts.
"Senior Brother Li, he has been like this since he was born. He is different from us."
"Oh? Really?" After getting Xiaoman's detailed reply, Li Huowang realized that it was his fault. The baby in his impression was at least three months old after it had grown.
It was so ugly when it was first pulled out of the belly.
When he saw Lu Zhuangyuan crawling out of the carriage with his butt stuck out, Li Huowang walked over and wanted to congratulate him.
"Hehehe~ We are all happy." Lu Zhuangyuan's wrinkled face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Then he handed over to the other people who gathered around him, "Everyone~! It's a sin! There are no eggs here. When we get to town, we will make up for the red eggs!"
Just when other people were congratulating him one after another and the atmosphere was harmonious, Li Huowang's heart tightened for no reason, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the grass in the distance.
A small black circle appeared on the grass that should have been dyed red by the sunset. The small dot that appeared on the top of the mountain before actually moved closer!
"Something's wrong!" The vision in the distance made Li Huowang's expression become solemn instantly. "Catch up the sheep! Let's get out of here!"
Li Huowang's words instantly broke the festive atmosphere. Although they were a little confused, seeing his serious expression, no one dared to take it seriously.
Amid the barking of the steamed buns, the dozens of white sheep began to move again following the ox cart.
Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually became darker. Taking advantage of the last rays of light in the sky, Li Huowang saw that black mass getting closer and closer!
