On the muddy grass, a small, brownish-yellow ball huddled up, its body slender, with a pointed snout and round ears, its tail wrapped around its leg, trembling in pain.
Nan Xian glanced at it, snorted coldly, casually threw the stained crowbar on the ground, bent down, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and shook it a few times.
"Finally showing its true colors?"
The weasel spirit whimpered as it was shaken, cautiously opening its eyes and glancing fearfully at Nan Xian out of the corner of its eye.
"Spare me, spare me... I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"
Upon seeing that it had actually spoken human language, Yu Lin couldn't help but gasp. He then widened his eyes and stepped closer, examining it with curiosity and inquiry.
Nan Xian asked coldly, "Where is the real Village Chief Gu? What exactly is going on with this Immortal-Enjoying Village?"
The weasel lowered its head timidly, glanced at the crowbar on the ground, and, remembering that its life was still in this woman's hands, had no choice but to confess everything honestly.
It turns out that three years ago, a group of four tourists from out of town had their car break down halfway, so they stayed overnight in Buxian Village, where the villagers warmly welcomed them.
The four were a family: a husband and wife with his parents-in-law. The wife was over thirty years old and had a very prominent belly, indicating she was seven or eight months pregnant.
She had difficulty conceiving and it took her more than ten years of marriage to finally get pregnant. She had heard that there was a temple in Qingcheng that was particularly effective in helping people pray for a son, so she made a special trip here before giving birth. She didn't expect to encounter such an accident. She felt unlucky and her complexion was not good the whole way. She was also very dissatisfied with the surrounding environment, complaining that the lights were not bright enough and that the tea was not good.
Her parents only had her as their daughter, and they always gave her everything she asked for. They had originally arranged a marriage for her with someone of equal social standing, but because she had difficulty conceiving, they had to settle for her current son-in-law who had moved into their home. They looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, despising him for being incompetent, unambitious, and relying on his wife's family's money to support their own. Naturally, they didn't treat him well and spoke to him as if he were a servant.
This son-in-law who married into the family was a quiet, brooding man. He didn't like to talk and never complained about the difficulties his wife and in-laws made of him. He dutifully served them tea and water.
They had only planned to stay in Buxian Village for two days, but unexpectedly, the weather turned bad on the second day and it started snowing. The heavy snow blocked the mountain pass, and the car that came to pick them up was stuck on the road, so they could only enter the village after the snow stopped.
Upon hearing the news, the wife insisted on going to the temple. Her husband couldn't stop her, and she rushed into the snow, only to trip and fall hard, which aggravated her pregnancy.
She was already an older mother and her body was weak. After a big argument, she rolled around in the freezing cold. After all that, she started bleeding and showed signs of premature labor.
Even cars can't get in, let alone ambulances. And even if the road were clear, they wouldn't be able to get here in a short time. We can only rely on the existing medical resources. However, misfortune never comes alone. Buxian Village is a small village with a lot of elderly people. The only doctor went to visit relatives in the next town before the heavy snow blocked the mountain, leaving behind only a young apprentice who had only been learning from him for half a year.
The young apprentice was forced by his family to become his master. He had no interest in medicine whatsoever and spent his days slacking off. He was even too afraid to kill a chicken. He was pushed into the delivery room by the crowd. When he suddenly saw the pools of blood on the bed, he immediately closed his eyes, his legs went weak, and he fainted from fright.
