Republic of China

Chapter 235
  In fact, Lu Xiucai was no stranger to delivering babies.

Before the medical system was truly formed, ordinary people who wanted to see a doctor could at most find a doctor at home. Not only because of inconvenient transportation, but more importantly because of poverty, they could go to the emergency room at any time when they were sick, as in later generations. The quality of life is unimaginable.

Who the hell doesn’t know that the imperial doctors in the palace are very good at treating diseases? You also have to be able to afford it.

Therefore, most medical clinics in most places have doctors who are skilled in more than one discipline. The so-called emergency medical treatment, how can the common people who come to the hospital care about what the doctors will see? They all just slap on the door to ask for help. Doctors are kind-hearted. Even if it is a disease that doctors are not good at treating, they will bite the bullet and treat it. After all, some diseases cannot withstand the passage of time.

Just like delivering a baby, can a pregnant woman who is about to give birth come for help and be turned away?
  Lu Xiucai's old father had treated several critically ill pregnant women in the past, and he had experience in doing so. He was quite familiar with things like delivering babies.

but!
  The premise is to pick up students!

Instead of other ghosts!

At this moment, Madam Ling's sister has no life left at all, she has no breath, no pulse, and her face is extremely ferocious. It is almost exactly the same as Xu Zhen's death before. It is very likely that she was hurt to death.

But her body was not completely rigid, and what Lu Xiucai saw from her lower body was not a simple grimace, but a... ghost baby? A ghost baby crawling out on its own!
  Little by little, the green and purple fingers poked out from the side of the ghost baby's head, gradually peeling off Sister Ling's flesh.

Lu Xiucai was so frightened that he took several steps back. He never expected to see such a terrifying scene.

Not to mention the waiter on the side, who fell to the ground and gasped, as if he was scared to death at any moment.

What the hell is this! ?
  In retrospect, the strange disease that Sister Ling suffered from was indeed abnormal. How could someone's belly become so big after only a few days?

The person they are carrying together is not a human being at all?

Was he slept with a ghost?
  Countless questions flashed through the man's mind, but what was even more intense was the visual impact. He watched helplessly as the ghost baby stretched out Sister Ling's flesh with one finger after another and crawled out!
  Three arms and four legs!
  The ghost baby also has a ghost head on its belly and a black umbilical cord dripping with black blood in its mouth!
  The further I crawled out, the more organs inside Sister Ling’s body were brought out, and they were all black!

Black intestines, black lungs, black liver and gallbladder!
  There is an old saying that people are bad from the inside out, and maybe this is what they mean.

The last person to see this ghost was Lao Kang. At first, he didn’t understand why the scholar was so frightened that his hair stood on end. But when he moved to look over, Lao Kang was almost frightened too. This scene was really scary. .

ghost baby?

wrong!

Not a ghost baby!

This is completely a life that has absorbed Sister Ling’s essence, blood, marrow and bones!

It's not dead or a ghost!
  To be on the safe side, Lao Kang dragged the scared and paralyzed man back and kept some distance first.

Lu Xiucai picked up the thing and was cautious, but his palms were shaking a little, because he also realized that the thing crawling out of Sister Ling's body had nothing to do with ghosts, it was a living being.

Never mind that I have seen it, I have never even heard of it.

Can the human body really conceive something special?
  "Kang, Brother Kang. Have you ever encountered a similar situation?"

"Stop making trouble, this is the first time I've met him in my whole life. It's really enlightening."

"Then what should we do?"

Facing the inquiry, Lao Kang had no idea for a while.

If you think it was a ghost, then he would do something cruel and grumpy, and then go back and forgive him, which is considered a good deed and a good person.

But the situation is different now. The thing is alive. Although it doesn't look like a normal baby, it is indeed alive. There is no reason to kill it, but it is even worse to leave it alone. Even a fool can see it. It is anything but ordinary, and who knows how serious the consequences would be if it were left unchecked?

Lu Xiucai had the same idea. Both of them were in a dilemma and couldn't make up their minds.

However, the 'strange baby' would not stop crawling because of the two's hesitation, and continued to laugh and utter vague words.

"Beat if you don't obey me"

"If it's broken, bury it."

“Buy at a discount when you’re young”

"Old black kiln for sale"

"Hey hey hey"

At this situation, both Lao Kang and Xiu Cai felt numb.

They couldn't figure out what this thing was, let alone how they could crawl out on their own, and why they could speak human words.

The entire soft cave was already soaked with black blood, and the black meat and internal organs were shocking. Especially the fishy smell was many times worse than the Qian family's corpse pond.

Vision, smell, and hearing were all severely impacted.

Just when Lao Kang and Xiucai were hesitating about what to do, the black umbilical cord could no longer pull anything out and slowly tightened until it completely broke.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the 'strange baby' shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The incident happened suddenly, and several people were caught off guard.

Lu Xiucai stuttered and said, "What's going on?"

Lao Kang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After cutting the umbilical cord, it seems that it can't survive. We don't have to hesitate whether we should do it. It will die on its own."

The 'strange baby' shriveled up very quickly, and the words in its mouth became smaller and smaller, as if it had been dried quickly.

Eventually, it shriveled up into a fist-sized ball of flesh.

Lao Kang took a closer look and saw that instead of a fleshy ball, there was a dark heart. It exuded a strong stench that could be smelled from a distance. Many men and women in Luanming Pavilion covered their noses, thinking that someone had pulled it. When I opened my trouser pocket, my interest suddenly waned and I felt very disappointed.

They don't know that the source of the stench is a black heart.

"Second, gentlemen, what the hell is this? You guys should give me a clear explanation!" The guy was in a bad condition. He pulled Lu Xiucai's trouser legs to stand up little by little, but his legs were as soft as noodles. , can only stand firm by supporting Lao Kang.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. Even storytellers who like to make up scary jokes couldn't make up such a scary story, right?
  Before that, if anyone told me that they saw something like this, they would slap their fucking big ears right away. Who the hell were they kidding?

But now, from his toes to his hair, he completely believed that there was something evil in the world.

"I don't know the details yet." Lao Kang, who had always understood something about it, couldn't see the reason this time. He said in a deep voice: "What is certain is that someone has done a hard job for the madam. Based on her own karma, Essence, blood, marrow and bones for food.”

"Karma? Blood and bones? Harsh work?" The waiter was so anxious that he almost cried. "Is it the same as the two girls who died before?"

Lu Xiucai was shocked, grabbed the waiter's wrist and asked loudly, "Two? Did another one die after Xu Zhen? Is the madam the third one?"

The waiter nodded repeatedly, and then hurriedly told all the details about what happened with Zhao Sanyuan not long ago.

Only then did the two brothers know that there was such a thing.

As the saying goes, three people were killed in a row after dark, and it was no longer considered a coincidence. The person who cursed behind his back was either crazy or really crazy. He must be caught out quickly, otherwise This one-sided killing will not stop easily.

Lao Kang asked: "Who is in charge of Luanming Pavilion?"

The waiter pointed to Sister Ling who died tragically on the bed, "That's her. Sister Ling is usually in charge of the operations of Luanming Pavilion. My boss doesn't come back easily, and I haven't even seen him."

"Then now that the madam is completely dead, there should be a second-in-command, right? It would be impossible to run such a big brothel without the madam?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I was the one who helped Sister Ling. I was almost an idle errand in name only, with very little power. After all, Sister Ling was unwilling to delegate her power even when she got a strange illness. All the daily operations of Luanming Pavilion were Follow her instructions as usual."

Lao Kang secretly chuckled.   Thinking about how power-hungry this bitch is? As long as he did less bad things, he might not end up like this.

Although I haven't said it clearly, I can't deviate from the truth.

From the behavior of the dead 'strange baby', it is not difficult to guess that Sister Ling was definitely not a good person during her lifetime. After all, she had a dark heart.

There is cause and effect in the past, karma in the middle, and luck in the future. As the old saying goes, the blisters on your feet are all caused by yourself, and you can't blame others.

"She's already dead, so she has to stand up and take care of things, right?"

"That's natural. I'll tell you the truth, little one. From the moment we met, I knew that these gentlemen might not be ordinary people. Moreover, they were all chivalrous and kind-hearted from the beginning to the end. Since these gentlemen have the ability, don't let them go." If you are hiding something private, you should save someone who is in trouble, and Luan Ming Pavilion will definitely thank you greatly afterwards!"

Lu Xiucai sighed quietly, "Put the thank you aside for now. We brothers are not doing this for reward. Now the situation is serious and confusing. I don't know who is behind the scenes, let alone who will be victimized next." , if you ask me to just close down the business and let our brothers screen them one by one, we will definitely be able to find them."

"What I mean is"

Immediately, Lu Xiucai roughly stated all his conjectures.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, the mastermind behind this is a certain kiln girl from Luanming Pavilion. Because the guests are angry and aggrieved, there are countless ways to teach these girls a lesson.

When I miss you, you are a beauty.

When I don't care about you, I am a bitch, and I can deal with you as I please.

After understanding the general idea, the clerk not only lamented that these gentlemen were really capable, but also felt very helpless.

"Don't blame me for being shameless. It's really impossible to close Luanming Pavilion. At least I don't have the right or the courage to close it."

Lu Xiucai's teeth were itching with hatred, and he burst out in a rare voice, "When the hell did you still think about making dirty money? You have to die a few more times, right? You bunch of bastards who kidnapped good families and oppressed women should all die!" "

"What I'm scolding is, don't you know that what you are earning is unconscionable dirty money?" The waiter smiled bitterly, "I was cut off by my father when I was a child and sold to the palace for money. Before I knew where the palace gate faced, Well, the Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly died and there was no place for eunuchs. Later, he was sold to Luanming Pavilion because he had no choice but to do so. Xiao Xiao swore to God that he had never harmed anyone and kept to himself. If possible, Xiao Xiao would also I want to live a peaceful life, but in this fucked-up world, if I don’t eat people, people will eat me. Who wants to live a peaceful life and be scolded on the spine? There’s no way.”

In a few words, Lu Xiucai could easily tell that this guy had a tragic past.

Yes.

This fucking world.

If you don't eat people, people will eat you.

No one can be alone.

Where is the problem?

Is the country poor and weak?
  Are the people ignorant?
  Is it oppression by foreigners?
  Or is God blind?
  Who can stand up and change all this misery?
  Lu Xiucai's tone was a little slower, but he still said in a bad tone, "I don't care whether you cut or not, the important thing now is to find the person who cast the curse. I can't think of a better way than closing down the business and screening them one by one."

The waiter burst into tears. He knew very well that what Lu Xiucai said was absolutely correct, but he still couldn't shut it down, let alone had the courage to shut it down.

On the surface, all the dignitaries who come to Luanming Pavilion are looking for fun.

Yes, no.

Because some people are looking for fun on the one hand, and more importantly, they come here to talk about big things, especially those who are in high positions.

Do you really think they just had a meeting in the office to decide on this and that?
  Big mistakes.

How can there be a blatant exchange of interests in the public house?

This is even less true in your own home, as it is easy for others to take advantage of you.

Therefore, places such as kilns and opium dens are perfect.

Everyone has the same bad intentions and wants to be dirty together, which is similar to a different kind of name-dropping certificate.

For example, in a brothel, everyone can talk openly about big things with the girl in their arms and exchange benefits. The probability of betrayal afterwards is relatively small. After all, if anyone betrays the enemy, it is equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing nine hundred to oneself.

It was like this at the end of the previous dynasty, and it is still like this after more than ten years of the Republic of China. Many state decisions were made while drinking wine in a brothel.

Don't want to join in the fun?
  Then let’s fuck you together.

You are the only one who is aloof, right? You're the only one who's amazing, right?

If you were as incorruptible as a white lotus flower, wouldn't it make the big men look like bastards?
  The roots were rotten from the beginning and will remain rotten in the future. No matter how glamorous it looks on the surface, the essence cannot be changed.

In this case, can Luanming Pavilion be closed?

It definitely can't be turned off.

There are so many things involved behind the scenes, how can a small brothel manager be able to handle them?

"Master, I really can't make the decision. Is there any other way? By the way, didn't the two masters come to see Sister Ling before? There must be a compromise!"

It was not difficult for Lao Kang to see how embarrassed this guy was, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed. He knew that continuing to persuade him would not lead to any results, so it was better to retreat and do the next best thing.

"At this point, all we can do is do our best to accept fate. Since the mastermind behind the scenes must have had some issues with these dead people, we might as well reveal the news of their deaths to all the girls and see if we can get her to stop. Let's Let me continue to search for clues secretly."

After hearing this, the waiter thought for a moment and nodded. Although doing so would cause a certain amount of panic, at the moment, we can only treat dead horses as living horses, and we cannot continue to kill people.

Soon the news of Xu Zhen, Cui Tong, and Sister Ling's death was released. The cause of death was that they suffered from a sudden illness and could not be saved. When the girls heard the bad news in the middle of the night, they were not only a little shocked, but also more ecstatic. .

There are no competitors, and there is no that damn madam who thinks about exploiting the girls all day long, God has eyes.

The news soon reached Yu Ping's ears. She sat in front of the dressing table and laughed so hard that her eyes were filled with madness.

"Well, one death after another makes people panic."

With a sigh.

Ding Hao walked into the room.

She is another person who lives in this house.

Yuping didn't look back and was still dressing up carefully in front of the dressing table. Even though it was almost midnight, the probability of picking up guests was very slim. She smiled and said: "Isn't it good? They deserve to die. As far as I know, these three people usually I bullied you a lot, right?"

Ding Haohao sighed again, "What you said is true, but after all, we are all hard-working women. When we die, everything is gone. Sister Ping, let me tell you, it is said that they were all killed by others. Next Have you heard of the curse?"

"No." Yuping's shoulders trembled slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and asked softly: "Where did you hear that they were cursed to death?"

"I heard it from hearsay. Anyway, I'm very flustered. I hope everything will pass as soon as possible."

Ding Haohao did not tell the identity of Zhao Sanyuan and others because of professional ethics. The girl in Luanming Pavilion would not reveal the information of the guests privately, but this silly girl did not know that the vicious curser was far away and right in front of her. The words pushed her into the tiger's mouth.

After a moment of silence, Yuping turned around and said with a smile: "Sister, I suddenly thought that a hairpin fell in Fuyu Tower. It was the only thing my mother left me. But I am not feeling well tonight. Can you please run away? One trip?”

Ding Haohao has decided not to pick up guests tonight. She really doesn’t want to go out anymore, but living under the same roof, Yuping usually treats her pretty well, so she can’t deny her face and refuses, “Okay, you’ll have to take that box of imported Japanese food later. Rouge, please lend me a favor."

Yuping answered with a smile, "No problem."

The moment Ding Haohao left, Yu Ping's eyes were blood red, and her murderous intent was fully revealed.
