Can’t give birth to a boy?
Jiang Ji and Chu Xiuning were both surprised.
What kind of strange disease is it to not be able to give birth to a boy? It's not infertility.
However, a village that has not had a baby boy born for ten years does seem like a curse.
Jiang Ji just saw that there were many pregnant women in the village, but they couldn't give birth to baby boys. He also didn't see any girl in the village. He didn't know if they were all locked up at home doing housework, or thrown into the tower.
"Our village used to be pretty good, but these years every household couldn't give birth to a boy, and several families had quarrels and wanted to divorce. Take Tiezhu's family in the south of the village. Their daughter-in-law didn't get pregnant for three years after marriage. Her in-laws beat and scolded her for being a hen that doesn't lay eggs and occupies the toilet without shitting. They beat her so hard that she divorced. But guess what, she gave birth to a fat, white boy the second year after she got married."
The ancient village chief had a sad face and could not stop sighing.
"We have done everything we could over the years, but all the babies we gave birth to were girls."
"Even the cats and dogs in the village are born female, and there are no males."
"Take my Zhuzi for example. His wife is already pregnant with her fourth child. When she was pregnant with the last child, we..."
The one who interrupted the conversation was the eldest son of the Gu family. From the moment Gu Dazhu saw them, he looked at them with suspicion.
He was so angry that his face turned red. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly and said stiffly, "Dad, come out with me."
The ancient village chief said helplessly: "This child is still the same as when he was little, don't mind it. Let's take a rest first, I'll go out and take a look."
He stood up tremblingly. Seeing this, Gu Genmiao hurried forward to support him, "Dad, I'll help you."
A strong figure and a hunched figure walked out the door, leaving no shadow, only the two of them.
In the corner of the room there were wooden horses, bamboo balls, and spinning tops, most of which were toys that little boys liked and were already covered in dust.
The breeze rustled the leaves in the yard, and the rustling sound was inexplicably hypnotic.
Jiang Ji yawned, "Guess what they will say outside?"
"I guess they'll find someone to see you later to test your abilities."
"If you are not sure, why not go and kill them now and catch them off guard."
"Vice President Chu, please don't let everyone down."
When talking about killing them all, the girl became a little excited, as killing was her instinct.
Chu Xiuning didn't drink the tea, and didn't even touch the patinated teacup. He changed the subject: "There are tens of thousands of babies buried in the abandoned baby tower, which is four or five meters high. If we don't follow its rules, can you guarantee that we can get out safely?"
Jiang Ji shrugged and said, she couldn't guarantee that.
Chu Xiuning said slowly: "Ying Huai and I behave differently. I am not used to using force to solve problems. I have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since the strange story has given a four-level rating, I like to pass it perfectly."
Just now, the eldest son of the Gu family interrupted the key words.
We have done everything we could over the years.
What did they do?
As I was thinking, there was a noisy noise at the door.
A woman holding a child rushed to Chu Xiuning and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Doctor, doctor, please save my baby. He is sick. Please save him!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed.
He exerted more and more force each time, and soon bloodstains were left on the ground.
"Merciful Bodhisattva, please save my child. Please, save him..."
The woman was unkempt, pale, had a severely receding hairline, and bulging eyeballs that were bloodshot, which was very scary.
When she rushed over, Jiang Ji smelled a foul odor and saw the baby in her cradle from above.
To be exact, it wasn't a child, but a cat corpse that was about the same size as a baby.
His whole body was rotten and maggots kept crawling out of his nose. It was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.
"This is Wang's wife. She has been crazy for more than ten years. She finally gave birth to a boy as her seventh child, but unfortunately the baby was too weak. The Wang family spent all their money to treat the baby, but the baby still didn't live to be a hundred days old. After the baby died, Wang's wife refused to bury him. She also became crazy. She held the baby and refused to let go. She went crazy when someone touched her baby. They had no choice but to use the cat corpse to replace the baby."
Gu Genmiao supported the village chief, followed by Gu Dazhu who had a sullen look on his face. The three of them walked in from outside the house.
It was obvious that Gu Genmiao's eyes looked at her more directly, revealing his undisguised lust.
Village Chief Gu smiled apologetically and said, "Doctor Chu, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.
You have seen this situation, can you help look after Wang's wife?"
His cloudy eyes stared straight at them, and although it was a request, there was no room for refusal.
This is a test of their lack of trust in their abilities as outsiders.
If someone else accidentally strays into the ghost story and fails to gain the trust of the village chief's family, they will most likely encounter their first death here.
It's a pity that the doctor who came this time was not a suitable professional.
Chu Xiuning smiled and said, "Okay, I have some research on the spiritual aspect."
He stood up and walked to the side of Wang's daughter-in-law, half squatted, and observed quietly for a while.
He took out the medicine box he carried with him and took out a white pill.
"Give her this medicine, and she will be quiet all night."
Is it that simple? Village Chief Gu was a little skeptical.
But seeing how calm he was, he half-believed and half-doubtedly asked Wang's wife to take the medicine with water.
After a while, everyone saw that the Wang family's daughter-in-law, who had been shouting at the top of her lungs just now, actually calmed down, fell on the bloodstained ground and fell into a deep sleep, with the cat corpse in the cradle thrown aside.
The ancient village chief also looked surprised.
This doctor is really different from the previous outsiders and he is very capable.
Jiang Ji also noticed it.
What Chu Xiuning gave was the most common vitamin tablet.
