To the relief of the three men, the remaining woman was pregnant with a normal baby.
However, the situation in the village is unclear now, and the baby in her belly may not always be safe.
"Brother, Tangtang and I will stay in this village for now. You go back to Guantian Temple and ask Third Brother to help find Xiaobai."
"Okay!" Jing Er was also a decisive person. Upon hearing this, he immediately left the village and rushed to his own temple.
After watching Jing Er leave, the little girl felt much more at ease.
She and Jing Jie stayed at the home of a woman who was pregnant with a normal baby. While guarding silently, they hoped to find some clues.
They had good intentions, but their actions were very suspicious in the eyes of some people.
"Zhaocai, those two people are from unknown places, and your wife is still pregnant, how can you let them live in your house?"
"They gave them the money, and one is a child and the other is a monk, so it's not a big deal." Sun Zhaocai said casually.
"Did the kid say anything weird?" Xiong Huan asked with a frown.
"Strange words?"
"The day before yesterday, she threatened my wife, and I almost got into a fight with the two monks around her."
Ah this...
Sun Zhaocai put away his casual tone and said after careful recollection: "He didn't say anything weird, but the kid kept staring at my wife's belly."
"Hurry up and drive that kid and the monk away!" Xiong Huan said decisively.
Seeing that Sun Zhaocai was not very willing to do it, Xiong Huan stamped his feet and said, "Don't worry about that little money. If something really happens, you will regret it too late. Do you know what that kid said to my wife the day before yesterday?"
"What did you say? Look how angry you are."
"She said my wife isn't pregnant with a baby!"
Sun Zhaocai's face changed. Although he liked money, he didn't want his wife who was about to give birth to be unlucky.
.........
"Go, go, go, our village doesn't welcome outsiders!"
"I'll return the money to you, but don't come to our place again."
The matter became a bit of a big deal. After Sun Zhaocai told his neighbors about it, almost half of the villagers came to drive him away.
"That's good, that's good."
Facing the angry villagers, Jing Jie was very calm: "Tangtang, people in this world are ignorant. Sometimes you have to show your magical powers to make them wake up."
"Well"
The little girl didn't quite agree with the statement that the world was ignorant, but in the current situation, it was definitely impossible to talk nicely.
"Do you want to decide?"
"Of course, we won't be wronged!"
"Okay, which one do you want to decide on later?"
"Except for Madam Sun, everyone else should be put on hold. Let them sober up."
The little girl nodded, then took out the bowl and froze all twenty people in one breath.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie!"
Seeing Sun Zhaocai's wife's legs weaken, Tangtang quickly ran over and comforted her, "We won't do anything bad. We stayed in the village because we really want to help."
"Nothing happened in the village," the woman said with a sad face, "Before, everyone didn't know that the young master could perform magic. Please don't blame me, please don't blame me."
"It's fine"
The little girl waved her hands, then walked up to Xiong Huan who was unable to move and said seriously: "Tangtang didn't know how to help your aunt for a moment. But this aunt, the baby in her belly may be in danger now, Tangtang can't leave!"
Chapter 217: The Evil Cuckoo Occupies the Nest
After Tangtang demonstrated her extraordinary abilities and expressed her kindness, the way the villagers looked at her changed noticeably.
Especially Xiong Huan, not only did his eyes change, but his face also turned extremely pale.
When the immobilization effect wore off, the person who had been shouting the loudest just now immediately fell to his knees with a thud.
"Please, please save my wife, save my child!"
This man might not believe everything the little girl said.
However, holding the idea that it is better to believe it than not, it would be okay to kneel down for the sake of his wife and unborn child.
"Your baby has turned into a strange bird. Tangtang can't change it back."
The little girl said in distress: "And the strange bird is in Auntie's stomach. I haven't figured out how to take it out without hurting Auntie yet."
"..."
At this time, Jing Jie noticed that a villager seemed to be hesitant to speak. After remembering the man's appearance, he stepped forward and helped Xiong Huan up.
"Don't do that, benefactor. Go back and take good care of your wife. We will come to visit you as soon as we think of a solution."
Seeing that Jing Jie's tone was sincere and didn't seem to be perfunctory, Xiong Huan bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
"Let's leave. Let's all leave."
After the villagers left in twos and threes, Jing Jie asked Sun Zhaocai about the person he had just noticed.
"He is a village doctor, and everyone respects him as Doctor Ge."
After Jing Jie asked about Dr. Ge's specific address, he waited for a while and then set out to look for him.
With a knock, he knocked on the wooden door of Doctor Ge's house.
"Ah, Master Jingjie?"
Without waiting for the man to say more polite words, Jing Jie went straight to the point and said, "Doctor Ge seemed to have something to say just now? Now that it's just you and me, can you tell me what it is?"
........
"Master Jingjie, please come in."
After inviting Jing Jie into the house, Doctor Ge said hesitantly, "To be honest, I may have a folk remedy to deal with the strange bird in the Xiong family's wife's belly."
Even Tangtang and I haven't thought of a solution to this problem yet, but the village doctor actually came up with an idea immediately?
Jing Jie looked at the man in front of him and said slowly: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please give me some advice, benefactor."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Doctor Ge lowered his voice and said, "I was thinking, should I prescribe some abortion pills for the Xiong family's wife?"
Tangtang is too young and doesn’t even know that such a thing exists.
Although Jingjie was a monk who broke his vows, he had never broken his vow of chastity, so his mind couldn't wrap around this for a while.
Now that the wild doctor mentioned it, Jing Jie was surprised to realize that there was such a trick!
"Doctor Ge, your words really woke me up from my dream. This time you have accumulated great merit."
This is not an empty statement. The strange bird in Xiong’s wife’s belly is relatively safe now.
But when the time comes for delivery, no one knows what will happen.
What if it bursts out of her belly? Who can save the woman then?
"Well, I hope so. To be honest, in our village, it's very difficult for each family to have two children, and they can't support more. So, I often prescribe this medicine."
Doctor Ge smiled bitterly and said, "But, I always feel that this matter has damaged my virtue. Now that I can accumulate some merit with this medicine, I feel much better."
The topic suddenly became heavy, and Jing Jie didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only pat the man's shoulder comfortingly.
A solution was found unexpectedly, but when Jing Jie found Xiong Huan and told him the solution, the latter was not happy.
"Master Jingjie, please think of a solution with the little mage."
"I want to change the baby back, not abort it!"
.......
Jingjie is thirty-two years old this year. In the process of keeping and breaking the precepts in the past, he has met many different kinds of people.
There's really no need to be angry with someone like Xiong Huan.
"Donor, please think about it carefully. I will come back tomorrow."
After saying this calmly, Jing Jie turned around and left.
The immobilization technique alone may not be enough. I have to take Tangtang to Xiong Huan's relatives' house for a good stroll in the evening to let them see the abilities of the upgraded ones.
next day!
Xiong Huan's house suddenly became lively because Jing Jie came with his parents and various aunts and uncles.
"Donor Xiong doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation. Please try to persuade him."
After saying that, Jing Jie left the house and found a tree outside to sit under the shade.
About an hour later, Xiong Huan covered his face and slowly came to Jing Jie.
"The child is gone, and nothing can happen to my wife again."
"Master Jingjie, please lend a hand!"
Jing Jie nodded decisively, then called Doctor Ge and Tangtang over.
"Doctor Ge, please prescribe some medicine. If the strange bird makes any unusual movements later, Tangtang, you must quickly immobilize it."
Jing Jie arranged everything. Soon, only Xiong's wife, Tangtang, and Xiong Huan's mother (temporary midwife) were left in the house. The rest of the people all retreated outside.
Xiong Huan paced back and forth in front of his house, feeling like every day was a year.
I don't know how much time had passed before a shrill cry was heard from the house.
"Strange, monster——"
The old woman crawled out and said, "What a big bird! What a big strange bird! It's blinking on the ground!"
Xiong Huan's face turned pale with rage. Just as he was about to rush in to check on his wife, Jing Jie stuffed something into his hand.
When I looked down, it was an axe!
"Donor, if you have revenge to take, go ahead."
After saying that, Jing Jie shouted into the room: "Tangtang, fix that thing and get out quickly--"
The little girl ran out and brushed shoulders with the panting Xiong Huan. Well, although Tangtang couldn't reach his shoulders, she still brushed past him.
"Auntie is fine, she was just a little frightened."
After Tangtang reported her safety to everyone, she and Jingjie were respectfully invited back home by Sun Zhaocai.
.......
Jing Jie speculated that if something was going to happen to the baby in Sun's daughter-in-law's belly, it would probably happen before delivery.
And Tangtang had already walked around the village several times and didn't find anything wrong, so the danger probably came from outside.
"Watch out for the birds in the sky"
Jingjie lay on the mat, staring at the sky.
"kindness!"
The little girl sat in the rocking chair, also staring at the sky.
"Look, a bird is flying over!" Sun Zhaocai said nervously.
"That's not it. It's just an ordinary bird."
It was impossible for Tangtang to stare at the sky for twelve hours a day, so everyone divided the work.
Sun Zhaocai and Jing Jie are in charge of the daytime, while the little girl is in charge of the night.
After a few days, the hard work paid off.
Under the bright moonlight, a large bird with gray-brown upper body and white lower body with dark horizontal stripes flew silently over Sun Zhaocai's house.
It even has a tiny bird egg in its claws!
