Chapter 550 Accidental premature birth

The woman was still crying, and suddenly a childish voice came. The woman raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, only to find that it was a little baby of three or four years old.

"You are..." The woman saw the baby and felt a little unfamiliar. Such a delicate and beautiful child, judging from her figure, was already over three years old. It was impossible.

The witch in their village liked beautiful little girls the most. The prettier they were when they were young, the more dangerous they were!

"I passed by here yesterday! Big sister, I heard what you said just now. Do you really want to leave this village? But I think your man doesn't seem to be very happy!"

The little girl blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking cute and silly.

"I... I don't want to stay any longer!"

The woman didn't want to say anything to an ignorant child, but there were some things she didn't know who to talk to.

The village was too depressing, and she didn't want to stay any longer, but she didn't even dare to tell her parents about these things. She

only wanted the man she liked, and they were both about to get married. She hoped that Er Gouzi would take her away. Was that too much?

"Is the village not good?" Yuan Baobao looked at her curiously, and patted the back of her hand with his little hand. The woman was still a little excited, so it would be better for her to speak calmly at this time.

The woman sighed, looked up at the blue sky and the sun that had just risen, and curled her lips bitterly: "Do you think this village is okay? Everyone in the village wants a son, but in the past two years, there have been only five boys born in the village, and three of them are not right at first glance!"

The child accompanying the woman was naturally Yuan Baobao. Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but twitch her lips.

[It would be strange if it was normal! ]

[This village produces and sells its own products! ]

[Or they will exchange women from other villages! ]

[But how many years has this custom of exchanging women been going on? Sixty or seventy years? The people in the nearby villages are all related, and they have all become close relatives. It would be strange if the children born were normal! ]

The rich man hiding not far away: It seems that he is the truth.

I've heard from little Baobao before that close relatives can't get married.

Oh, it was because of Princess Yuehua's matter. Princess Yuehua's mother wanted to match her with her cousin from her natal family. The little princess said that children born from such a relationship would easily get into trouble.

It turns out that the people in this village are living examples.

"Brother Ergou and I have known each other since childhood, and we like each other! When I was young, I thought that I must marry him when I grow up!" Yuanbaobao

...you had a lot of ideas when you were a child.

The two of you are childhood sweethearts, right? But the only disadvantage is that you are close relatives!

"Brother Ergou has an older brother."

Yuan Baobao: "His brother wouldn't be called Dagou, right?"

The woman turned her head, looking surprised: "You, how do you know? Have you been to my brother Ergou's house?"

Yuan Baobao couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I not only know that he has an older brother named Dagou, I also know that he has a younger brother named Sangou!"

The woman was even more shocked: "You really asked about my brother Ergou!"

Yuan Baobao...you guys named him too casually, she can guess it with her toes.

"Sister, you better tell me quickly, why do you want to leave this village?"

"Oh, I almost forgot just now!" Juanzi scratched her head, her face full of helplessness.

"The reason I want to leave this village is to change the fate of my child!"

"Do you know what the fate of the women in the village is?"

"The girls in our village will be chosen by the witch when they are born. The witch will mark the pretty ones and raise them until they are over two years old. They will be sent to the Niangniang Cave. Some girls who are not wanted by their families will also be taken back by the witch and used for sacrifice in exchange for the next pregnant boy!"

"However, the witch will make the beautiful girls who are sent there into Ping Niangniang."

"It means putting a person in a bottle. Once in, you can never leave!"

"Do you know how long Ping Niangniang's life span is? Few live beyond the age of twenty!"

"I don't want my daughter to become like that in the future. I just want my child to live safely and smoothly!"

"Besides, everyone in this village wants to have a son. If they can't have a son, they will invite Lady Ping home. Oh, by the way, now no matter whether they can have a son or not, they will invite Lady Ping back home!"

Yuan Baobao... just felt speechless.

When two people have sex, if there are more women around, they can have a son? These people are too ignorant.

"I don't want that! When I get married and have children, no matter it is a boy or a girl, I want to raise them well, especially a daughter. Why should my daughter be chosen by a witch? I don't want my daughter to live a life worse than death!" The woman looked firm.

"Then you can run away from here and find a man outside!"

Yuan Baobao looked at her: "Just now, from what your brother Ergou said, he doesn't seem to want to leave!"

The woman sighed: "But I have never left our village, what can I do after I go out?"

Yuan Baobao... Sure enough, this is the reality!

"Okay, I won't say it anymore. I'll go see how Ergou's eldest sister-in-law is doing! She has already given birth to three daughters."

The woman stood up. She will marry Ergou in the future, and Ergou's eldest sister-in-law is also hers.

"Three daughters?"

Yuan Baobao was surprised. This Ping Niangniang didn't seem to be very useful, but why did the people in the village still trust her so much?

"It's a pity that none of them survived! They were sent to the Niangniang Cave when they were over one year old!"

Yuan Baobao suddenly stretched out his hand: "Where is the Niangniang Cave? Can you take me there to have a look?"

The woman hesitated: "I only know the general location. We have never seen the specific location. Only the witch can go in!"

"But my sister-in-law is giving birth today, and the witch will definitely go there!"

Will she go there today? Yuan Baobao became more interested in the so-called witch!

Maybe there will be unexpected surprises after going there! I

just don't know...how does the witch judge whether a girl is suitable to be a Ping Niangniang!

"Does the fortune teller only look at appearance when selecting people?"

Yuan Baobao still didn't quite understand.

The woman frowned: "Actually, we don't know either. Generally, those who are selected are those who look better!"

Yuan Baobao...well, the fortune teller is still a face control!

...

"Ah ah..." A woman's scream came from the room, and the people outside were pacing back and forth anxiously.

A man in his thirties, with dark cheeks and a sturdy body, walked back and forth on the ground irritably.

"How could you suddenly have a premature birth? Mom, what happened just now?"

Da Gouzi looked at his mother, and his mother's face was pale: "I, how should I know..."

"But wasn't she fine when you had breakfast this morning?"
