    Chapter 85 Human World (1)

    "You all have a bottle of aphrodisiac pills?" Yan Qing asked in disbelief.

    The young man heard the surprise in his words and felt insulted. He said angrily: "Yes, they are all men. Why are you pretending? Don't be embarrassed. This is a good thing. Brothers all understand it."

    After saying that, he winked at Yan Qing.

    Yan Qing: "..." I know nothing!I don’t need to understand at all!

    Sensing the gaze of Xie Shiyi next to him, Yan Qing now wanted to tear this man's mouth apart.In order not to have his ability questioned, Yan Qing could only politely refuse: "Thank you, brother, but you should keep this kind of thing for yourself. My fiancée and I are very harmonious, and we don't need it now."

    The young man sneered, rolled his eyes at him, and then turned his attention to Xie Shiyi.

    Yan Qing was afraid that Xie Shiyi would hear such dirty words, so he dragged Xie Shiyi away: "He doesn't need it either!"

    The young man behind him was furious: "Sooner or later you will beg me for help!"

    Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi came to their senses when they walked around to another street: "The Barrier City has now become a dysfunctional city? He must be dreaming, I will never use that thing in my life."

    Ahead is an ancient bridge. Under the bridge, duckweeds are swinging from the awning boat. Peach blossoms are blooming beside the bridge. A few peach blossoms have fallen on Yan Qing's temples.After Xie Shiyi stretched out her hand to brush off the petals for him, with a smile in her eyes, she asked softly: "If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?"

    Yan Qing's mouth twitched: "What, you want to use it?"

    Xie Shiyi said lightly: "I want to 'try'."

    Yan Qing: "?"

    Xie Shiyi took a step forward and stood at the end of the bridge. A boatman immediately stepped forward and asked him where he was going.After reporting the direction of the Su family, the boatman took the money and greeted them with a smile: "Going to the Su family? It's a good time for you two. If the Su family's wife's child is successfully delivered, then the Su family's head will definitelyWe’re going to entertain the whole city, so you can stay and enjoy the meal.”

    Yan Qing was stunned and said: "Child? Mrs. Su's wife is pregnant?"

    The boatman said: "Yes, we have been pregnant for nine months, and we are just about to take the last step." The old man sighed: "Zhancheng now has a newborn baby."

    Yan Qing thought about the news he had heard along the way and asked curiously: "No wonder, I don't see a single child on the street. Is it because the women in the barrier city are all frail and sick, lingering on the sickbed?"

    The old man smiled but said nothing. His cloudy eyes hidden under his folds took a deep look at Yan Qing.

    The old man: "The city lord will definitely attend when the time comes. It's such a happy event. What a happy event."

    He was talking to himself and completely ignored Yan Qing's question.Yan Qing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even laughed as if nothing had happened: "The city lord will also attend. That is really a great event."

    The City Lord's Mansion in Barrier City occupies almost a quarter of the entire city and was built on the ruins of the five great families.It is difficult to get in and out of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord has been hiding from the world for many years. Everything in the city is the responsibility of the head of the Su family.When Yan Qing handed the letter to the guards of the Su Mansion, the guards looked at them up and down, and then whispered something to their companions.

    Immediately a woman came running toward them.This was the first woman Yan Qing saw in Zhengcheng today. She had pale silver hair hanging down and was wearing a black robe. Her face was full of wrinkles, but her eyes were as sinister as poisonous snakes. She frowned.: "I'm giving the longevity lock to my wife. Come with me."

    The Su Mansion was splendidly built, with carved beams, painted pillars and rockeries. The woman led them along a small road.After walking through the path, we came to a very quiet place. The bamboos were quiet and there was a round and beautiful woman beside the half-covered curtain.

    She was half leaning on the couch, a blanket covering her stomach, and she was reading carefully with a book in her hand.

    Because both Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi were men, the old woman asked them to allow only one of them to go in. The incident happened because of Yan Qing, so of course it was Yan Qing who went in.

    "Madam, I am here to give you the Longevity Lock on behalf of the boss of Linxian City."

    Mrs. Su's wife raised her head. She had a plump figure and some flesh on her face.During pregnancy, my face looks a little pale, and my smile feels graceful and gentle."Thank you, thank you." Mrs. Su put down the book and took the longevity lock from Yan Qing's hand. She slowly brushed her fingers over the lines on it and smiled with her eyes reddening.

    Yan Qing noticed this and said with a smile: "Madam, the boss specially asked someone to write the words on the longevity lock. He also took it to the temple to have it performed. I wish you and the baby in your belly a safe and long life.age."

    Mrs. Su whispered: "I'm determined."

    Seeing that she was in a bad state, Yan Qing made a suggestion: "Madam, why don't you go out and bask in the sun? I see that your complexion is not good. You can move around a little during pregnancy. This will be good for you and the baby."

    Mrs. Su held the longevity lock in her hand, turned her head to look at the bamboo forest outside the pavilion window, and said softly: "Thank you, but my husband asked me to recuperate in this pavilion. I have stayed here for ten months. The last paragraphTime will pass patiently."

    Yan Qing immediately praised and said, "Wow, Madam and Mr. Su are really deeply in love as a couple."

    Mrs. Su suddenly apologized and said: "The barrier city is now wide and strict. If you want to leave the city, you need my husband's order to leave the city. But my husband is currently in the city lord's palace and I don't know when he will come back. You guys need to rest for a while in Su's mansion."Come on. I'll ask grandma to arrange a place for you."

    Yan Qing wanted nothing more than what he wanted, but there was still a look of confusion and shock on his face, and he said anxiously: "Easy in and out? Why? Madam, the boss didn't say this when he asked me to deliver something."

    Mrs. Su was probably the kindest person Yan Qing had seen in Zhancheng. She looked embarrassed and said softly: "I'm sorry, but when I came to Zhancheng, was this rule already in place?"

    Yan Qing: "Can't you go out at will?"

    Mrs. Su shook her head and said, "Let alone the barrier city, I can't just go out of Youhuangxuan."

    Mrs. Su waved her hand, and the old woman next to him who had been staring at him like a black poisonous snake immediately stepped forward and took him out.

    The old woman warned him: "Be careful when talking to my wife. If you dare to say anything nonsense, I will cut your tongue."

    Yan Qing blinked and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm just a gift giver. Are you being so defensive about me?"

    The old woman pushed him out of the bamboo forest, threw him a key, and said: "Choose a room in the west wing! This is not the place you should come from in the future!"

    Yan Qing took the key: "Oh."

    Xie Shiyi was in the bamboo forest, reaching out to touch the white spots on the bamboo poles, lowering his eyelashes, thinking deeply.

    Yan Qing leaned over and said, "Yao Yao, what did you find?"

    Xie Shiyi said calmly: "There is a formation in this bamboo forest."

    Yan Qing raised his hand to take a piece of bamboo leaf, rubbed it for a long time, looked up and looked at the skylight penetrating through the bamboo leaves, curious: "It is like a barrier, what do you think it isolates?"

    And to this question, they got the answer the next day.

    ——The bamboo forest blocks the rain.

    It's raining in Zhancheng.Yan Qing chose the room in the west wing closest to the bamboo forest. Standing by the window, he could look at the bamboo forest in the distance.

    It's raining and foggy, and it's dark and misty.Under the blue sky and white sun, the barrier city is ordinary, but when it rains, everything in the darkness seems to come out.Damp, smelly, and cold.

    The wind is full of the fragrance of bamboo forest, but Yan Qing can still keenly detect the smell of blood inside, which is light and strong. Light because the smell is as thin as a gossamer in the rain, thick because even if it is as thin as a gossamer, it is frightening., I don’t know how many years of accumulation of corpses and sea of blood can produce such a fishy smell.Where Mrs. Su lives, the green bamboo forest seems to have a layer of white light all over it, blocking the rain falling from the sky.

    Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi analyzed everything in Zhan City and tried to connect them together.

    "There are no newborns in Zhancheng, but where are the children from before? Also, I still don't know what the disease is for those women in Zhancheng."

    Forget about the City Lord's Mansion, he was confused even about things outside the mansion.

    At this moment, Yan Qing suddenly heard a scream.Someone ran over from outside the house crying, shouting: "Grandma Guan! Grandma Guan!"

    He was a young man, and he came to see the grandma next to Mrs. Su who didn't look like a good person.

    "Grandma Guan, Grandma Guan! Save my child, save my child."

    The man tripped over a rock in the garden, hit his face in a puddle, and was left chewing mud.

    Granny Guan, dressed in black, was followed by a group of guards and walked out of the corridor. Her face was filled with sternness and she scolded him coldly: "What are you doing with me? Isn't there any midwife in the city? I'm busy with Mrs. Su's affairs now.I don’t have time to help you.”

    The man burst into tears, hugged Granny Guan's legs and said, "No! Granny Guan, you must help me! If you don't help me, you won't be able to save my child! My wife is now seven months pregnant.I think this time it will definitely not be a stillbirth, this time it will definitely be alive. It’s already been seven months, and only you can deliver it!”

    Granny Guan said in a strange tone: "July?"

    Man: "Yes, yes! Granny Guan, you must help me. If this child is born, I will give you half of the benefits from the city lord!"

    Grandma Guan kicked him to the ground and said, "What benefit do I lack from you?" Grandma Guan said, "Take me there."

    The man was overjoyed and climbed out of the mud: "Okay."

    Yan Qing was stunned when he saw this scene.He put his hand on the window and jumped down casually.

    Xie Shiyi sat next to him, frowning almost invisible.

    Yan Qing was in high spirits, smiled at him and said, "You stay here for now, I'll go take a look."

    Xie Shiyi Liuli was heartbroken, even though she never mentioned the extent of her injuries.But from many of his performances, Yan Qing could tell that Xie Shiyi was seriously injured, so he didn't want to trouble Xie Shiyi with such a small matter.

    The umbrella I bought in Linxian City came in handy today.

    Oil paper and red plum blossoms turned away from the heavy rain and fog. Yan Qing saw them leaving the house and followed them to join in the fun.

    At first glance, the young man is not wealthy. The house he lives in is also a bungalow, along the river.

    "Grandma Guan, this way." He led Grandma Guan and a group of guards from the Su family into a room at the end of the street.

    Yan Qing was hiding at the end of the team, and as soon as he entered, he smelled the strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine.They could not enter the hostess's room. Granny Guan went in alone, leaving a group of men standing outside the yard.

    Yan Qing was dressed like a boy from the Su Mansion. He closed his umbrella and pretended to congratulate him and said, "Not bad, brother, you are going to get rich."

    A sentence based on what he said about "the city lord's benefits", unexpectedly made the young man beam with joy and triumph.

    "Over the past few years, there have been dozens of stillbirths. It's rare for one to be pregnant until seven months. It must be a live fetus!"
