Chapter 266: Premature Birth
Normally, he would only need to use a third of his strength to easily pierce the woman's chest.
But for some reason, when he tried to lift the sword, it felt like a thousand pounds of weight was falling on his arms, and he felt like he couldn't lift the sword.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the dagger had already pierced his heart.
Blood spurted out, and the scorching heat splashed on Wenwan's face, making her clear eyebrows and eyes filled with a charming aura.
Wenwan's heart was beating violently, and a hint of relief flashed through her chaotic thoughts.
Back then in the cave, after she had seen the incense that was only useful for martial artists, she asked Minz's people to help find it. Before coming to Taohua Town, she actually bought some from the black market.
Although it’s not much, it’s finally used to the best advantage.
The strong-suited man fell in a pool of blood, his eyes fixed on Wen Wan.
He seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and then he was completely silent.
Seeing this, the other three men in black immediately rushed towards Wen Wan.
Perhaps the death of the strong-suited man also aroused the bloodiness of Wu Xiang and Xiaoshu. After they reacted, they picked up useful objects and fought with the man in black.
Like the man in muscle suit, these men in black were all martial artists. At first, they did not take these ordinary people seriously, but as soon as they moved, their legs and feet became weak and they could not exert any strength at all.
As a result, the battle became one-sided.
Wu Xiang and Xiao Shu, who were able to move freely, knocked the three men in black who were unable to use any strength to the ground.
Wu Xiang was filled with rage and showed no mercy, holding a stone and repeatedly smashing it on the head of a man in black. The poor man in black was hit so hard that his brain burst and died.
Wen Wan looked at the scene, her stomach churning, and she leaned against the wall and vomited violently.
Ban Yue dropped the gong in panic and immediately went to help her, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Wan kept vomiting and couldn't speak at all.
Banyue became increasingly anxious and growled at Xiaoshu, "Quick, quickly, grab Master Wu and stop him from going crazy! He's frightened my wife."
Wu Xiang was indeed going crazy. All the women he admired actually wanted to take his life. All his previous efforts and hard work became the biggest joke in the world.
How could he not hate?
Xiaoshu hugged Wu Xiang and kept yelling, "Master, calm down. Madam Wen's health is the most important thing now!"
Wu Xiang finally came to his senses. He stared blankly at his blood-stained hands, then looked at the man in black lying on the ground who had been smashed beyond recognition by him.
Then, he stood up shakily, "Yes, you are right, Madam Wen is more important."
As Wen Wan was spitting, she felt wetness under her body.
She looked panicked, and barely suppressed her nausea and said, "After all this trouble, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth prematurely..."
Although she was panicked, Wen Wan looked at the three people staring at each other, some of them even more panicked than her, so she could only force herself to calm down.
She ordered in a deep voice, "Mr. Wu, please go get the doctor immediately. Xiaoshu, go to the kitchen and boil some water and prepare some clean swaddling clothes. Banyue, help me in."
When Wu Xiang and the other two heard that she was going to give birth prematurely, they completely lost their composure and had no ability to think at all. They instinctively acted according to Wen Wan's instructions.
Wu Xiang stumbled and ran out of the courtyard gate.
Xiaoshu went to the well to fetch water and carried the bucket to the kitchen. Because he was too flustered, he fell on the way. When he brought the full bucket of water to the kitchen, only half of it was left.
Banyue helped Wenwan to the bed, then turned around to close the doors and windows tightly. She was not very old and had only occasionally heard from her elders that women who had just given birth should not be exposed to cold wind.
Wen Wan lay on the bed, her stomach aching. In just a moment, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
She had always been afraid of pain. At first, she couldn't bear the pain and screamed at the top of her lungs. Later, her voice became hoarse and she couldn't even scream. She could only moan softly like a wounded cub.
"Madam..." Banyue held Wenwan's hand and kept wiping away tears in anxiety. She didn't know what to do and could only encourage her with sobs.
"Madam, please hold on, hold on. Master Wu will be able to invite a doctor over soon."
Wen Wan clenched her teeth and had no extra energy to respond to Banyue's comfort.

The neighbors on both sides of the alley were originally awakened by the sound of the gong. Someone put on his clothes and opened the gate, and saw Wu Xiang running past them, covered in blood.
The neighbors who had just stepped out of the courtyard retracted their feet. After hesitating for a moment, they closed their doors again and extinguished the oil lamps in tacit understanding, pretending not to notice Wu Xiang who was passing by in a hurry.
Who would dare to meddle in other people's business when he's covered in blood?
One was a poor scholar who had just moved in, and the other was a widow with no relatives or friends. Neither of them was from Taohua Town, so the neighbors were unwilling to take risks for them.
Wu Xiang ran forward. It’s not that he didn’t see the indifference of his neighbors, he just didn’t have the time to waste.
The clinic was on another street, and he had to run faster and faster to get the doctor back earlier.
In a hurry, Wu Xiang didn't know what he kicked, and he lost his balance and fell forward.
Wu Xiang fell to the ground and hit his head on the stone steps beside him. His head was bleeding and he looked even more embarrassed.
He was hit so hard that his vision went black and he could hardly see the road ahead.
Just when Wu Xiang was about to faint, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded at the end of the street.
A group of young men in tight clothes came rushing over, the one in the lead was full of vigor and vitality, with a murderous aura emanating from his whole body.
Wu Xiang was in a daze when he saw this group of young men in tight clothes rein in their horses and stop in front of him.
One of them found him covered in blood and approached him to ask.
"Who are you? What happened?"
His cold tone doesn't seem like that of a warm-hearted person.
Wu Xiang had a head injury and his mind was a little stiff. He just instinctively raised his hand and pointed deep into the alley.
"My wife is going into premature labor. I need to call a doctor, please... The doctor is at the clinic on the next street, please..."
Wu Xiang was confused and spoke incoherently. Subconsciously, he still remembered Wen Wan's words about pretending to be his wife.
"Premature birth?" Xiang Tu slapped his forehead. "That pregnant woman in the alley must be the lady who roasted your pig's trotter for you a few days ago."
Shen Yu responded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since you have eaten a person's roasted pig's trotter, you can't just watch him die."
He casually pointed at one of his men and said, "Go to the next street and get a doctor. We'll go to his house and take a look."
"yes."
Everyone went their separate ways, and the young man who went to ask for the doctor turned his horse around and left quickly.
Xiang Tu stepped forward and helped Wu Xiang up, and casually took out a handkerchief to press on his bleeding wound.
Shen Yu turned over and dismounted, striding forward and walking deeper into the alley.
