She frowned, and Gu Yunru suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower body. She quickly covered her stomach and said, "Oh no, oh no, I seem to... seem to be giving birth..."

"Aunt, please hold on for a while, I'll call someone over right away!" Shu'er helped her lie on the bed and ran outside immediately. However, Ping'er and Cai'er in the kitchen were busy entertaining the guests, so they gave an order to send the guests away quickly after they finished their meal.

Then the shop was closed and no new customers were accepted. Xiaoyu looked at Cai'er curiously, "What happened?" Cai'er washed her hands quickly and boiled some water, "Madam is about to give birth, we have to go upstairs!" Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said to her, "I have experience in giving birth, I'll go with you."

"You are so young and experienced?"

Xiaoyu laughed and said, "I was the one who delivered the foal of Dr. Ma at the village entrance. In fact, giving birth to a child is similar to giving birth to a child by an animal. It's good to have one more person to help!"

Cai'er was confused by her, so she took Xiaoyu upstairs. Shu'er paced anxiously at the door. The midwife hadn't come yet. Xiaoyu volunteered, "Let me give it a try. I have experience." Shu'er took a step back, looked at her and said, "You have experience!"

Cai'er testified for her, "Yes, Miss Xiaoyu said she has experience..." Before she could finish the rest of the words, Shu'er happily took her into the room.

Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves, spread Gu Yunru's legs apart, and delivered her properly. At this time, the midwives finally arrived. There were three of them. Shu'er looked at them and couldn't help but frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? I'll settle the score with you later. Hurry up and go in!"

"Oh... okay."

The midwives went in one after another and helped Gu Yunru deliver the baby with Xiaoyu. Shu'er jumped up and down restlessly. Ji Heng came back at this time and asked, "Is Madam about to give birth?" Shu'er nodded and pulled him aside, saying, "Men should not go in when women are giving birth. I don't know why, but my aunt suddenly cried out of stomachache."

"Didn't she say she would be in labor for more than half a month? Isn't it a bit early to give birth now?" Ji Heng had also inquired about it. If this woman gave birth prematurely, it would have a very strong impact on the fetus and the body. It must be because of something. Maybe she was in a very bad mood, so...

"My aunt said that someone seemed to be watching her all the time. She has complained to me since we moved to Huajianlou. Maybe I have neglected his feelings because I am with you every day. But I really don't think there is anyone nearby..."

Ji Heng felt something was wrong.

It seemed as if someone was indeed staring at them, but that person was always in the dark while they were in the light. This strange feeling had lasted for a long time.

"I'll be right back!"

A black shadow flashed by in the jungle downstairs, and Ji Heng caught it keenly. People who practice martial arts have always had very sharp sense of smell and eyes. Shu'er was shocked to see him flip over the railing, but she believed in her husband's kung fu.

Ji Heng followed the black shadow to a nearby dog ​​hole. There seemed to be a few loose bricks there. He moved the bricks and saw a very small door inside. So he went in. He didn't expect that he would find a different world as he walked down.

The space here is indeed very large, and their hidden position is very perfect, so when they were checking whether there were other people living in Huajianlou, they did not notice this place. Ji Heng tightly grasped the sword in his hand and said with a sigh: "I have seen you, come out quickly!"

Unexpectedly, a disheveled man came out. He was wearing a gray gown and his shoes had many holes in them. The man slowly raised his head and his face had many pockmarks.

"Who are you? Why are you playing tricks on me?" Ji Heng drew out his sword and put it on his neck. The pockmarked man slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ji Heng with a treacherous smile.

"why are you laughing?"

Ji Heng looked at this guy and wondered if he was suffering from schizophrenia. He smelled a dangerous atmosphere nearby. It turned out that there was someone standing behind him. It seemed that there was more than one person with pockmarked face in the cave. Behind him was a woman in black cloth, who looked gloomy and pale, like a ghost in purgatory, which was scary.

"Who are you? If you don't tell me, you'll be dead!" Ji Heng hated people playing tricks the most. The woman said happily, "Sir, we are originally from this building..."

"What?"

The baby was born. Gu Yunru seemed to have used all her strength from breastfeeding and finally gave birth to the child. Xiaoyu smiled happily as she held the child in her arms. It was a little girl.

Shu'er walked into the house quickly, and when she saw the child, she was overjoyed and scolded the three midwives, "What happened to you? If it weren't for Miss Xiaoyu's help, I'm afraid..." The three midwives looked at each other and quickly knelt down in front of Shu'er, "Miss, you don't know, we had trouble on the way here, so we were a few steps late..."

"Are you a few steps late? You know what will happen if you make the slightest mistake! Forget it, even if the merits and demerits are offset today, you don't have much money to take, so hurry up and leave."

“…”

The three midwives were horrified, but there was nothing they could do.

Ji Heng brought the couple downstairs, let them have a good meal, looked at them curiously and asked, "What do you eat every day when you live there?" The pockmarked man raised his head and said, "When you sleep, I will go to the kitchen to find some food. If it is cooked, I will eat it. If it is raw, I will take it back to eat."

"Have you been keeping an eye on Madam these days, appearing at her door every night and making strange noises?"

Thinking of Shu'er's fear, Ji Heng asked the pockmarked man. The pockmarked man shook his head and raised his hands. "I swear to God, I didn't do that. It might have been Qiao Er who did it. Qiao Er is mentally ill. We have been locking him up in the cave. Sometimes he ran out by himself. To be honest, this restaurant was originally owned by my wife and me, but later someone occupied it and beat Qiao Er into a madman. Then Qiao Er would attack the cook in the kitchen. He killed people, so we had to hide in the cave, not daring to see the light of day..."
