Chapter 451 It’s so fucking scary
By the end of December, the exile area was covered with snow.
The Qing River was frozen over. The straw stubble in the riverside rice fields had their gray tips poking out from the snow, and the bare reeds were swaying in the cold wind.
The weather was cold, but the two sides of the strait were extremely lively.
The sounds of shouting and calling friends to join in filled the entire Qing River.
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and it’s time to prepare New Year’s goods for the New Year.
This year, many villagers from Tubei Village went to Fengyun City to buy things in person, and they went with the Twelve Wharf Gang. When they came back, they were carrying large and small bags, and everyone's smiles were from ear to ear.
In the main hall of Chen Dafu's house, a group of men in cotton jackets were chatting and laughing around a brazier, with saliva flying everywhere.
"Today I went with Xiaoxiao and Chuanzi. We set off early in the morning. Even though we had the company of a hall master, I was still worried on the way. I've never been there before! I was still nervous!"
"Hahaha, it was so cold, and we still took a carriage. Dafu's forehead was sweating non-stop!"
"You sound so calm, like you didn't see anything? When we first came into town, your face was whiter than the snow outside!"
"Don't laugh, don't laugh! You haven't been there, have you? We've heard over the years that people in the inner city are almost beaten to death on the streets or in the alleys. Those shops on the main street are often beaten to death by people who dine without paying, and then they get into chaos in the blink of an eye! And when Su Da first went to the city, he was chased for several blocks, and in the end, it was Mr. and Mrs. Huo who rescued him. How can you not be scared when you think about these things?"
"Then I'm a bit braver than you guys. I have a hall master who doesn't scare me that much. I've been preparing for a fight for a long time! Hey! I didn't expect that! Su Da and Su Er, guess what?"
As the first two people of their generation in the village to have eaten crabs, Su Da and Su Er had a common language and were pulled over by everyone to chat.
Hearing Wang Chuan deliberately keeping things in suspense, Su Er clapped his hands and said firmly, "City people hide when they see you! Isn't that right?"
Everyone laughed so hard they couldn't straighten their backs. "It's not that bad, but it's really polite! It was like we were all bullies and they were the good people! We were still blinded when we came out of the city after buying New Year's goods!"
Chen Dafu wiped his tears and used tongs to stoke the fire. He then changed the subject and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. Can Tianbao and the others come back to celebrate the New Year?"
"I don't know. This time, Tianbao, Du Lao, Changdong and the others are going to Xiling, which is a long way off. We only heard from them ten days ago, saying they were on a boat and on their way home." Su Da's smile faded a little, and he glanced outside. The farmyard was clean, but the snow scattered on the walls and the ice formed by water stains in the corners showed the cold everywhere. "I'm afraid that many sections of the canal outside are also frozen. It's difficult to travel by water at the end of the year. I don't know if they can make it in time."
Su Er also sighed, "Xiu'er is about to give birth. If those children can't catch up, they will definitely feel regretful."
As soon as Xiu'er was mentioned, a man's stiff, trembling and out-of-tune voice could be heard from outside the courtyard wall, "Su Da, Su Er! Hurry, Xiu'er is about to give birth!"
In a word, the main hall was immediately in chaos. Su Da and Su Er ran out, and the stool under their buttocks was bounced far away and fell to the ground with a bang.
Chen Dafu hurriedly called out to the woman at home, "Wife, wife! Come over and take a look, and give a hand!"
Li Xiaoxiao and Wang Chuan stood up and turned around in circles. After a while, they remembered to run home and called the women at home to help.
When Mrs. Huo in the opposite yard heard the shouting, she rushed to the Su family in a hurry.
For a while, the hustle and bustle was no less than that of the Su family.
In the Su family's courtyard, as soon as Su Xiuer had the seizure, her two sisters-in-law immediately helped her into the room. The midwife who had been found long ago and was living in the next courtyard also rushed over immediately.
Old Mrs. Su quickly lowered the door curtain, sent the old man and son-in-law to the kitchen to boil water, and took out the clean swaddling clothes, cloth towels, wooden basin, etc. that had been prepared early. Everything was done quickly and neatly, and everything was in order.
When a woman is giving birth, it is inconvenient for men to go into the house. After Su Da and Su Er ran back, they tacitly went to the kitchen and took over the work of boiling water, making soup and rice oil.
Mrs. Huo and the women from the village who came one after another were also busy in and outside the main hall, trying their best to help.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother... I, I want to go to the main hall to see and accompany Xiu'er." The bearded man had a pale face and lips, his eyes were unfocused, and his hands hanging on both sides were shaking violently.
Su Da pulled a low stool over and tried to force him to sit down slowly, but he couldn't move him. "Look at you, you're the leader of a gang, you've seen a lot of big scenes, right? Why are you so panicked? Don't do that. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Now is the time when Zheng Xiu'er needs you the most. You must calm down!"
"Calm down, calm down..." The bearded man took the words to heart, closed his eyes tightly, and repeated the word calm down over and over again. He repeated it faster and faster, and finally stood up. "Calm down! I can't calm down! No, I have to go with Xiu'er. I can't sit still here!"
My wife was bleeding just now, and even her thick coat and pants were bleeding! It was all over the place, and I feel dizzy just thinking about it!
How can he sit still!
After hearing what his eldest brother said about his near-death experience, he wished even more that he could give birth to a baby for his wife!
Holy shit! That's fucking scary!
The bearded man said this and rushed towards the main hall.
Su Da and Su Ersi tried to pull it out with all their might but failed and were dragged out by the man.
Seeing this, Old Man Su was overwhelmed. "Why are you going? The old woman will beat you with a fire poker! Don't go and make trouble! Stay here! Xiu'er is kind-hearted. She has helped so many people by practicing medicine over the years. She must be blessed. She will be fine!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the bearded man's face turned even paler, and he trembled all over. "Save, save blessings... Dad, but I haven't saved any blessings... I've lived on the edge of a knife and blood, and have done more than ten evil things! Will it ruin Xiu'er's fortune? Will it?"
The usually majestic man was now asking questions repeatedly, his face full of fear and hesitation, like a child desperately waiting for affirmation.
The Su family's father and sons, "..."
They really can't answer this question.
After all, you can't speak against your conscience.
The son-in-law of their Su family is a sinister and ruthless character...
How could the bearded man not understand?
In the main room, the woman's suppressed cries of pain began to be heard, each cry like a knife stabbing into his heart.
The next moment, the bearded man slapped himself in the face with his hands left and right. His eyes were red and his face was ferocious. His ferocity frightened Su Da and Su Er.
I'm really afraid that my brother-in-law will beat himself to death before Xiu'er gives birth to the baby.
Time passed little by little, from noon to almost dark.
Basins of blood were being carried out from the main room. The cries of pain grew weaker and weaker, and the faces of the busy women became more and more solemn.
The bearded man was dragged by several men and stood straight in the yard, looking at the blood splashed in the corner of the yard. His mind was blank and he could not hear anything. He looked like a wandering soul.
