Chapter 204: Past Events (Part 2)
In the middle of the night, Wen's mother heard the sound of something heavy falling outside.
She looked out the open window and saw the guards of the Nangong family who were patrolling at night, each of them holding their necks in pain, which had been pierced by hidden weapons. Before they could even scream, they fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
A group of men in black appeared silently in front of the fallen guards. As if they were worried that they were not dead yet, the men in black raised their swords and chopped off their heads.
Mother Wen was so scared that she almost screamed, but she covered her mouth tightly.
There was no candle in Wen's mother's room, and the man in black did not see her.
Her body went limp and she almost couldn't stand up.
But she had to alert the Nangong family as quickly as possible, otherwise they would be so fast asleep that they wouldn't even know they were being killed by the criminals.
Wen's mother didn't dare to open the door and could only sneak out through the open window.
Using the moonlight to determine the direction, she ran wildly to the right, not daring to make any sound.
She thought about alerting everyone in Nangong Mansion by shouting.
But the Nangong Mansion was too big, and she was worried that the people who were sleeping wouldn't be able to hear her shouts, and that it might alert the bad guys.
With the help of moonlight, Mother Wen followed the route she had taken during the day and found the courtyard where Nangong Lingxiao and his wife lived at the fastest speed in her life.
The gatekeeper knew Wen's mother, but she was still shocked to see her in the middle of the night.
When Wen's mother saw that she was about to ask a question, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
She lowered her voice and told the old woman that a group of bad guys had entered the Nangong Mansion and killed the guards.
When the old woman heard this, she was so frightened that she screamed, pushed Wen's mother away, and ran to her room without even guarding the gate.
Mother Wen was puzzled. If she wanted to run, she should have run outside the house. Why did she run back to her room? The bad guys would probably be here soon!
She locked the gate behind her and hurried to take pictures of the room where Nangong Lingxiao and Liu lived.
Liu's belly was already seven months old. At night, she either wanted to drink water, or suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, or her legs suddenly cramped.
In short, I wake up for various reasons.
Her husband loved her very much. As long as he was in the house, he would sleep with her almost every day so that he could take care of her at night.
But today, because he was busy refining a batch of medicinal herbs, he was a little late, so he asked someone to come over and say hello, and then he rested in the front yard.
After being awakened, Liu subconsciously called out "husband".
It took her a while to remember that her husband had slept in the front yard today, so she hurriedly woke up Chunlan, her personal maid who was sleeping on the footstool to keep watch.
Chunlan was sleeping in a daze. When she heard her lady calling her, she suddenly woke up.
Hearing the hurried and deliberately low knocks on the door outside, Chunlan thought that the eldest young master had come back to sleep in the middle of the night.
As soon as she opened the door, Wen's mother rushed in.
Not only Chunlan, but also Liu was extremely surprised to see that it was her.
Mother Wen did not dare to waste time, and hurried to help Liu out of bed. She quickly told her about the man in black and that they had to leave the house as soon as possible.
Liu was shocked and frightened, and Chunlan was also dumbfounded.
Mother Wen didn't expect that Nangong Lingxiao didn't sleep in Liu's room.
They were the elderly, the weak, women, children, and a pregnant woman. How could they deal with those criminals?
I must leave the house as soon as possible!
Liu also realized the seriousness of the matter. She immediately ordered Chunlan to wake up all the servants in the yard, and then sent people to other yards to remind them, and asked someone to go to the front yard to inform her husband about the matter.
But it was too late, as the sound of fighting could be faintly heard outside.
Liu hurried out with the support of Wen's mother and Chunlan. The other servants had been following her, but when they saw that she, a pregnant woman, was walking too slowly, they all rushed towards the back door.
Liu was shocked and anxious. When disaster strikes, everyone runs away, so there is nothing to blame.
But she was already seven months pregnant, so she couldn't walk fast. Plus, she was worried about her husband and kept looking towards the front yard, which delayed her quite a bit.
But it was a good thing that she was delayed, because there were several men in black waiting at the back door.
They killed anyone they saw, and almost all the slaves who fled through the back door were killed.
Hearing the heartbreaking cries, Wen's mother, Liu and Chunlan were so frightened that they could hardly walk.
If there is someone squatting at the back door, there must be someone squatting at the front door as well.
The three of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but it was Wen's mother who first remembered the cellar in their home.
She immediately suggested hiding in the cellar first.
Since I can't get out, whether I stay in the yard or go back to my room, I'm probably going to die.
You must find a relatively hidden place and hide there for as long as you can.
The Nangong Mansion did not have only one cellar. Liu was in charge of the household affairs on a daily basis, so she knew the specific locations of the several cellars in her mansion very well.
She immediately pointed the way, and the three of them hurried towards the cellar where precious medicinal herbs were usually stored. Few people knew about that place, so it was safer.
On the way, we encountered several waves of men in black who were slaughtering people in every yard. The screams and hideous laughter... were endless.
The brutality is appalling.
Fortunately, Liu and Chunlan were very familiar with the terrain of the mansion, and the three of them managed to escape the massacre of the criminals time and time again.
When he was almost at the cellar, he bumped into Nangong Mu who was stumbling towards him.
Nangong Mu is Nangong Lingxiao's biological sister, and the servants around her have all fled in all directions.
When she saw her sister-in-law, she burst into tears.
She went to her parents' yard, and found that her parents were killed, as well as her younger brothers and sisters.
With his last breath, Dad asked her to hide in the cellar where precious medicinal herbs were stored.
No matter what happens outside, don't come out.
When Liu heard this, she felt a dull pain in her heart and her body shook.
The various emotions lingering in her heart were infinitely magnified at this moment: anxiety, worry, fear, sadness, despair...
Each one was enough to make her collapse.
What was even more devastating was her stomach.
The amniotic fluid broke at this moment, and the skirt was instantly covered in blood.
The baby is about to be born! But the baby is only seven months old.
At this moment, Liu felt hopeless.
Nangong Mu and Chunlan were extremely anxious, and Wen's mother was also anxious.
She looked around, worried that the man in black would come looking for her.
After all, Wen's mother lived twenty years longer than the three Lius, and there were women who gave birth at seven months.
We must go to the cellar first, otherwise the child will never be born.
She immediately picked up Liu and continued walking forward.
Wen's mother has worked hard for most of her life and has done all kinds of hard work. Carrying a pregnant woman is not a difficult task for her.
She asked Nangong Mu to follow behind her and took off her coat to catch the dripping blood.
If there is blood on the ground, it must be cleaned up quickly, otherwise the bad guys will definitely be able to find them by following the blood.
After the four of them climbed up the wooden ladder into the cellar where the precious medicinal herbs were stored, Liu's skirt was soaked with blood and her face was terribly pale, without a trace of blood.
Mother Wen gasped for breath and started to deliver Liu's baby.
In such an environment, it is bound to be very difficult for a child to be born, but we can't just watch the child die in the mother's womb.
Liu is also a strong person.
Her husband is still unknown whether he is dead or alive, so she must give birth to this child for him.
Even if the baby is born, it may not survive, but how could she give up until the very end?
This was the child she had been looking forward to for seven months.
Liu bit a piece of rag, and the pain made her upper and lower lips bleed, but she refused to scream.
Nangong Mu was also crying beside her.
After an agonizing wait, the child was finally born.
The girl was so thin and small, her cry was like the buzzing of a mosquito, without any strength at all.
But fortunately the child didn't cry loudly, otherwise he would have attracted the group of bad guys.
There were only medicinal herbs in the cellar, no food.
Four adults can survive by chewing some tonics, but how can a newborn baby eat them?
Liu's body was very weak. Although Nangong Mu was there to save her life, she had no milk at all.
The child was crying out of hunger, his voice so soft and gloomy that it was heartbreaking to hear.
Chunlan couldn't bear to see her young master starve, so she sneaked out of the cellar to find food while everyone was tired and fell asleep.
As a result, he never returned to the cellar and probably lost his life.
Liu almost cried her eyes out.
But what followed was a raging fire.
The group of men in black slaughtered the entire Nangong Mansion, and fearing that some of them might have escaped, they set it on fire.
