Zhao Yunniang bolted the door tightly, returned to the bed, hugged the child and coaxed her softly.
The excitement outside made her anxious.
As someone who has experienced this, she certainly knows that giving birth to a child is no less than a fatal disaster for a woman.
Probably because the backbone of Miss Ya was not there, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Hurry up, her water has broken. If the baby doesn't come out, he may be suffocated inside!"
Suddenly, a panicked scream made her heart skip a beat.
Unconsciously, she hugged the child's small and soft body tightly, and she kept praying in her heart, hoping that the poor woman would be okay.
"Ms. Yun, open the door quickly. Sister Guilan is afraid that she may not be able to survive. Please come out and help."
"Hey, it's coming!"
Zhao Yunniang put down the child and walked to the door.
But as soon as she put her hand on the door bolt, she stopped suddenly.
wrong.
Before Miss Ya left, she warned her that if there was any trouble outside, one thing she had to do was to stay by her child's side and never leave.
What's more, her mother has left, and now she and the child are left. If this door is opened, there will be no power to protect herself.
After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and took a step back.
"No, my mother has already gone out to find someone. I have just given birth and am very weak. I'm afraid I won't be able to help."
People outside kept urging.
"You don't need to put in any effort. You have given birth after all. This is Guilan's first child, so she must be scared. All you need to do is talk to her by her bedside."
"There are so many aunties in the yard who have given birth, so I don't have to go there. I think I'd better not cause any trouble."
Zhao Yunniang had quietly retreated to the bed, picked up the child, and looked at the door warily.
Even though she had made it so clear, the man still knocked on the door.
"Open the door, you can't just die without saving me! Zhao Yunniang, if Guilan doesn't give birth to this child, you're going to kill someone!"
There was already more anger in the other party's tone.
Zhao Yunniang felt even more suspicious. This door must never be opened.
"I'm not a doctor, so it's useless even if I go. Don't scare me. My mother will come back with someone later, and she will definitely be able to save Guilan."
The man stopped talking, but the door opened more and more urgently, and even started to tremble, as if it could be broken down at any time.
Zhao Yunniang also gained a burst of courage.
He tied the child's swaddling clothes behind his back and used all his strength to push the large square table in the room to the door.
"Don't think there's nothing I can do if you hide inside, Zhao Yunniang, just wait for me!"
The man finally threatened her in a low voice, and then made no move.
Zhao Yunniang was also tense at this moment and did not dare to relax at all.
She was extremely anxious now, but the reason why people outside dared to be so blatant was probably because the pregnant woman had given birth suddenly and had no time to take care of her.
Now, she can only pray for someone from the Zhao family to come.
Suddenly she thought of her mother who was called away.
Behind him, the little baby suddenly burst into tears as if sensing his mother's uneasiness.
She could only take care of her children first, feeling very anxious.
I hope that my mother can come back safely and that their family can be reunited.
At this time, Zhao Yuniang, who was in a state of confusion, did not notice at all that a hand had quietly touched through the window that had been left open for ventilation...
The news that the pregnant woman suddenly gave birth has been reported by the nurse at the door.
The guards immediately sent the message back to the Zhao family.
After Fang Rao received the news, he immediately rushed to help with his people.
At the same time, she also asked someone to secretly send a letter to Lin Mengya.
Although she had been prepared before, she still trusted Lin Mengya's medical skills the most.
At the hot spring village, Lin Mengya and his wife also rushed over immediately.
Little did they know that not long after they left, a secret passageway that had never been discovered was quietly opened.
This happened to be Dong Zichang's small yard, but because the passage was under the bed and no one used it all year round, it slipped through the net.
Dong Zichang had been wandering around the house angrily all night.
Before that, Long Tianyu deliberately took away all his suicide notes, medicinal materials, and all his medical practice records in order to "punish" him.
This may not seem like much to others, but to Dong Zichang, it was an unbearable torture.
He was breathing heavily, and his eyes, which were always emotionless, were now filled with crazy and violent emotions.
"Little Master Dong."
He turned his head sharply and glared at the skinny black figure crawling out from under the bed.
The other party was not afraid at all and walked to him quietly.
"It was the fourth master who asked me to come and pick you up. The fourth master said that Mr. Dong entrusted you to him before he left, and he must protect you. You should follow me quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid... They were discovered."
But Dong Zichang did not move.
His eyes were always staring at the man, unblinking, very penetrating.
The skinny man's expression was also a little dry at the moment.
Fortunately, he came prepared. He took out a book directly from his arms and waved it in front of Dong Zichang.
"This is the medical scripture you have been looking for. If you follow me, this medical scripture will be yours."
Finally, Dong Zichang's eyes shifted from his face to the scroll.
After seeing the name on the cover clearly, he immediately snatched the medical book away with a fanatical expression in his eyes.
However, this time he was willing to follow the other party's instructions.
The skinny man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself, what a fool.
After that, the two quietly got under the bed and left along the secret passage. No one knew where they went.
At the same time, in the Zhao Mansion, not long after Fang Rao left with his people, something happened again with Zhao Xun.
As soon as the person responsible for delivering food to him entered the door, he saw that Zhao Xun had cut his wrists and was bleeding profusely.
"Something happened! The young master committed suicide. Someone come quickly!"
The panicked shouts of the servants also caused the guards at the door to rush in.
Someone immediately went to report it to Fang Rao, but the other party had just left, so they had to send people to chase him.
For a time, Zhao Mansion was in chaos.
A sneaky figure quietly went to the backyard and unlocked the back door.
Not long after, the people who had been lurking around finally entered the inner courtyard of the Zhao family.
However, they did not go to rescue Zhao Xun, nor did they go to the Zhao family's private treasury. Instead, they went straight to a small family temple in the corner of the Zhao family's backyard.
It was very small, and the house that was one person tall could only accommodate two adults.
And what is enshrined here is not any gods or bodhisattvas, but a lonely tablet.
"Second brother, we meet again."
Fourth Uncle Zhao sneered and walked in.
Although he called him second brother, he had no respect for the tablet at all.
He casually took off the spiritual tablet and kept it aside without looking at it, with a bit of greed in his eyes.
He ordered to his men: "dig for me!"
The few people he brought with him immediately took action.
Not long after, the small family temple had been dug into pieces by him.
Soon, they found what they were looking for - a silver box.
"Hahahaha, I'm afraid that little bastard from the Huo family never dreamed that all the wealth of their Huo family is in my hands."
Fourth Uncle Zhao couldn't help but said proudly.
He had endured not touching the Huo family's wealth for so long. Firstly, he was afraid that if others knew about it, he would not be able to get it all. Secondly, he was afraid that the Huo family's bastard would have an accident after seeing it, which would indirectly affect his plan.
Now he doesn't have to be afraid.
Once that bastard of the Huo family learns about the Huo family, he will never wake up.
And before the people from the Presbyterian Council arrived, he killed all the insiders, and then obtained the prescription for Dongxue's child-eating medicine to achieve great success.
Having gained great benefits and the protection of the Presbyterian Church, his position will only become more stable.
As for that little bitch from the Gong family.
Hum, he will push everyone's death to her.
At that time, the entire ancient tribe will regard her as an enemy, and it will be difficult to fly even with wings!
Thinking of his series of clever tricks, Fourth Uncle Zhao couldn't suppress the pride on his face.
"Let's go."
He turned around and left, all he could think about was the silver treasure box in his arms.
Little did he know that a long sword suddenly came out to kill him.
However, the person beside Fourth Uncle Zhao blocked the long sword with his flesh and blood.
With a "Puff" sound, the long sword penetrated his chest.
Then, he was pulled out mercilessly.
Fourth Uncle Zhao was suddenly startled and looked at the person coming.
"You, who are you?"
Against the light, I could only see the tall silhouette of the man.
"What you are holding in your hand is the silver light box of our Huo family."
As the cold words gradually became clearer, the facial features gradually became clearer, but Uncle Zhao's eyes filled with infinite panic.
"You, you are..."
"Huo Xiao, the only descendant of the Huo family."
Huo Xiao held a long sword and advanced towards them step by step.
There were flames ignited by anger and hatred in his eyes. Facing the person in front of him, he wanted to tear him into pieces.
"No, it's impossible! Everyone in the Huo family is dead, except..."
He knew he couldn't say the next words.
But Huo Xiao was already furious at this moment.
The silver light box is the heirloom of his Huo family.
Because of the special material, as long as it is locked, it will not be invaded by water or fire.
Even buried in the soil, it can last for thousands of years.
He had only seen it once when he was a child.
But since the Huo family was wiped out, this silver box has mysteriously disappeared.
He thought that these things fell into the hands of the enemy, and even thought that they were the reason why the Huo family was wiped out.
But I didn't expect that this thing was actually in the Zhao family.
"Now, the Silver Light Box must be returned to its original owner. As for you."
Huo Xiao's eyes fell on Uncle Zhao, already filled with murderous intent.
"Death is not a pity!"
Uncle Zhao hugged the silver light box tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth and roared: "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
He got this thing with so much hard work, it must be his!
The people around him immediately rushed forward and fought with Huo Xiao.
