As a result, she waited until the evening. Not long after it got dark, there was another knock on the door, but this time it was a very heavy knock. She seemed to hear someone crying outside.
Zhang Meng immediately ran out and opened the door, only to see a tall middle-aged man standing outside the door supporting a woman who was about to give birth.
"Who are you?" Zhang Meng frowned and looked at the man and woman.
"We are looking for the fortune teller Zhang Meng. She is here, right? We are here to ask her for help." The middle-aged man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and talking a lot.
After listening to this, Zhang Meng finally understood the purpose of their visit.
I don't know who told them that she could cure pregnant women with malpositioned fetuses. The pregnant woman had been trying to give birth at home for a day and a night, but just couldn't give birth. The couple had no choice but to come here to find her since they had no money at home.
Zhang Meng was at a loss for words. When did her reputation become known as not only a ghost remover but also a helper for pregnant women? "I'm the Zhang Meng you're looking for, but I can't help you with this. She's pregnant, and pregnant women should go to the hospital and let the doctors help you."
The man was so anxious when he heard this that he supported the staggering pregnant woman with one hand and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Meng. "Witch Zhang Meng, please, please save my wife and my son. We don't have any sons in our family, only four daughters. We are hoping to have a son this time to carry on the family line."
At this time, the pregnant woman he was supporting gritted her teeth and groaned, and a pool of blood flowed down her legs.
Zhang Meng's face changed slightly. It seemed that if they delayed any longer, the result would be two deaths.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Meng gritted her teeth and stepped aside, "Help me in."
The man's face lit up with joy. After thanking Zhang Meng profusely, he quickly helped the pregnant woman into the Zhang family yard.
Giving birth is like stepping on the gates of hell for a pregnant woman, and Zhang Meng doesn't want these things to be contaminated in her living room.
After inviting the couple into the house, he immediately took them to the woodshed next door.
"This..." The middle-aged man looked a little unhappy when he saw this place.
Without even glancing at his expression, Zhang Meng immediately ordered, "Put the baby here. I'll show you around. But let me make it clear beforehand: I'm just a fortune teller, not a midwife. If the baby's position is right, you'll have to leave my house immediately. Go to the hospital or go home. I can't let you give birth here."
The man's face became even more unhappy and he said nothing.
At this moment, the pregnant woman lying on the haystack screamed again, "It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Zhang Meng squatted down with a gloomy face, reached out and touched her belly, and suddenly her face became even gloomier. She looked at the middle-aged man with displeasure, "What did you feed her?"
The middle-aged man looked completely bewildered. "What? What did you eat? Witch, can you please explain it more clearly? You're driving me crazy, aren't you?"
Zhang Meng glanced at him coldly, then glanced at the woman's belly, which was as big as a ten-pound watermelon and was surrounded by black air.
"Your wife can't keep the baby in her belly. You two make the decision!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he shouted excitedly, "How is it possible? The witch said my wife is pregnant with a son. This is the secret recipe for having a son that my mother traveled a long way to get from her. Now you want me to give up this pregnancy? What do you mean? I'm telling you, don't think that I won't be disrespectful to you just because you're a witch. I, I, I don't care if anyone dares to stop me from having a son, I don't care if he is the emperor or the old man."
Zhang Meng's face darkened and he sneered, "Goddess, secret recipe for having a child! Ha, foolish! I tell you there is no such thing as a secret recipe for having a child in this world. Also, let me tell you again, your wife is not carrying your precious son this time, but a demon. If you insist on having this baby, don't blame me for not warning you, or your family will be in for a bloody disaster."
The middle-aged man spat on Zhang Meng's face and said, "What witch? I think she is just talking nonsense. I don't believe you anymore. I don't want you to deliver my wife's baby. We need to go home and find a midwife to deliver the baby."
The middle-aged man picked up the pregnant woman whose legs were bleeding a little black blood, pushed Zhang Meng away, and strode out of the Zhang family.
Zhang Meng walked out of the woodshed and looked at the couple leaving, shaking her head. "Why is there such a strong smell of blood? It smells so bad."
Just then, Monk Jingchen walked out of the house. As soon as he smelled the smell in the yard, he immediately frowned.
Zhang Meng walked up and told him everything that had just happened.
After hearing all this, Monk Jingchen stroked his beard and said, "Amitabha." Then he added, "I can't believe there are people in this world who use such a vicious method to create a ghost fetus! Well done, well done."
Zhang Meng immediately pulled Monk Jingchen aside to ask what was going on.
"This is an ancient and sinister method. A long time ago, some vicious people would cut open the belly of a newly dead pregnant woman and take out the baby that was not yet dead in order to create a ghost doll that would obey them. They would then use a special method to make the baby's soul into medicine. As long as people ate it, the baby born would be a ghost doll that looked like a puppet." Zhang Meng suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.
I thought the matter was over, but the next day, I heard the crying of a group of adults and children outside the Zhang family's door.
Zhang Meng could vaguely hear some cursing amidst the crying.
