There was nothing going on between Wei Fu and Long Yin here, so Long Yin pulled Wei Fu away, as he had something to ask her.

Su Cheng asked the prince puzzledly: "Why couldn't the monster hurt you before?"

The prince said, "Fu'er said that I have the destiny of an emperor, and ordinary evil spirits cannot hurt me." When he went to dinner with Wei Fu, he also asked curiously.

Su Cheng looked at the prince with envy written all over his body.

He had never envied anything before, but this was the first time he began to envy the birth of the prince.

He also wanted to prevent evil spirits from touching him. The feeling of powerlessness he had felt after being tied up by those red strings was too uncomfortable.

The prince looked at his cousin helplessly. It was only today that he realized that the emperor's fortune could have such an effect.

Wei Fu was pulled aside by Long Yin, who asked her, "You felt unlucky earlier, why did you run back?"

He also felt that Wei Fu was a little unlucky today, but what necessary connection was there between being unlucky and thinking that something had happened?

"Master said that if I don't do things well, I will be in trouble. This is my punishment for not doing my job well!"

Long Yin: "...Are you sure this is a punishment, not a warning?"

She really is worthy of being the boss’ daughter!

This is truly a favor from God, and it even comes with a warning of danger.

Why don’t they, the dragon clan, have such blessings?

Wei Fu puffed up his cheeks and said, "This must be a punishment. I was planning to hit Gui Kui a few more times, but since he didn't eat enough, he didn't have the strength to do it later."

Long Yin: “…”

Mao Du, who heard that the prince had returned and was about to go find him, heard the voices of Wei Fu and Long Yin and quietly hid in the dark.

Although he was very tired, he couldn't sleep, so he asked about what had happened in the yamen. After knowing that it was Wei Fu and Long Yin who killed the ghost, he was a little afraid to appear in front of them.

If someone finds out, wouldn't he be in trouble?

He waited until Wei Fu and Long Yin were far away before coming out from behind a crumbling wall.

Wei Fu and Long Yin lay on the wall, looking at Mao Du's back.

Wei Fu commented in a low voice: "This bad guy is not very brave!" Look at the ghost leader, he showed up directly and provoked her.

Long Yin said: "He is just an ordinary bad guy, without any special features. Your brother, the prince, can handle him." If he can't even handle this, there is no point in being a prince.

"But...if we don't play with the prince, then what can we play?" The days other than eating, drinking and sleeping are very boring!

Besides, the twelve hours of the day cannot be fully spent on eating, drinking and sleeping.

Long Yin wiped his chin and said, "Didn't a lot of people report the crime last night? Why don't we go and help investigate?"

Wei Fu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Long Yin with admiration, praising him generously: "Little brother, you are really smart!"

"But... what are we going to do today during the day?" The prefect asked the people to come tomorrow!

Long Yin said, "Why don't we go out of town and have some fun?"

"good."

The two of them left without hesitation, not knowing the surrounding situation, so they just randomly chose a direction to run.

Wei Fu didn't bring Tingyu with him, so the two of them had to climb over the eaves and walls to get out.

It is spring now, the ice and snow have melted, and all things are reviving. Many small wild flowers are blooming on the roadside, yellow, white, blue and purple, which are very beautiful.

Wei Fu also saw a butterfly, and she ran to chase it with a look of surprise.

It's just the beginning of spring and butterflies are not common.

She chased the butterfly to a river and saw a lot of people gathered by the river.

A simple platform was built in the middle of the crowd. On the platform was a wooden stake with a pregnant woman tied to it. Her belly was big and it looked like she was about to give birth.

There was a man holding a machete, dancing a strange dance around the woman and muttering something.

The pregnant woman had tears of pleading in her eyes, but no one responded.

Wei Fu didn't understand what they were doing. These people looked like they were performing human sacrifices.

But human sacrifices are always performed on innocent women who are getting married, no one uses pregnant women!

She also knew that some places would pray for newborns and use some rituals during the blessing process.

She walked over and asked the person she had pulled, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

The uncle smiled amiably and said, "Sacrifice!"

"The baby still in the woman's belly is the purest and cleanest thing in the world, so we must directly cut open the baby and take it out."

"If you take it out by caesarean section, the aunt will die! Why not just let the aunt give birth to the baby?"

The uncle still smiled amiably: "Little girl, you don't understand this yet. When you grow up, you will understand. A woman who has been touched by a man is too dirty. How can a pure baby be born by such a dirty thing? Once born, it will not be clean."

If he hadn't taken into consideration that Wei Fu was still a child, he would probably have said that a woman who had slept with a man had her private parts touched and was so dirty, so wouldn't it be a defilement if a child came out from there?

The uncle used the most amiable expression to say extremely cruel and vicious, even inhumane words.

But he was unaware of it.

Wei Fu was stunned: "Uncle, do you have a mother, a wife, or a daughter?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Are they all dead, then?"

The uncle frowned and said, "Little girl, how can you talk like that? They are all alive and well!"

Wei Fu was even more confused: "But didn't you say that the baby should be taken out by caesarean section? If not, it will be unclean."

"If they take the baby out by caesarean section, the mother will die!"

Uncle: “…”

"Does this mean that you are also a dirty guy, uncle?"

The kind-looking, amiable uncle suddenly became angry, pushed Wei Fu hard, and shouted, "How can you talk like that, kid? How can you be so annoying? What did your family teach you?"

Wei Fu was pushed back a few steps by her and was supported by Long Yin who had chased after him out of boredom.

Long Yin looked at the uncle with cold eyes: "What did she say wrong?"

"You say women are dirty, but aren't you born of a woman? Don't you want to marry a wife? Don't you want to sleep with your wife?"

"You were born to a filthy person, and you slept with a filthy person, doesn't that mean you're also a filthy person!"

As soon as Long Yin finished speaking, he immediately attracted the wrath of everyone. Some even raised their sticks and shouted, "Where did you come from, you little bastards? How dare you destroy our sacrifices and defile us? I will beat you to death!"

An old man with a white beard and kind eyes walked out of the crowd. He looked at Long Yin and Wei Fu and said, "You two should go find your family's elders and go back quickly!"

"Since you are young and ignorant, we will let you go this time. From now on, don't ever set foot in the territory of our Taohua Village again."
