The cave was on the back mountain of Zhanjiazhai. Yanmai was quite scheming and took Ye Xian and saw that he had left the village, but he walked around the path while no one was paying attention and hid in a bush.

"There is a rear exit in that hole."

Lie in the bushes and observed for a while, Yanmai pointed to a place and said.

It turned out that the exit behind the cave was behind a waterfall that was not big or small. The two of them were about to pass through the waterfall. Yanmai looked at Ye Xian and was very envious: "Little Ye Zi, you are moving so fast, your clothes are not wet."

Ye Xian had been pretending, but now she wanted to be wet with water, so she whispered: "There are so many waterfalls over my house. I have been playing in such a cave since I was a child and I am used to it."

The two of them quietly walked forward from the hole behind. After walking for a while, they heard the woman's wailing sound from inside: "It hurts so much that I will never give birth again."

The two of them looked at each other, and there was a deep fear in their eyes: It was so pitiful to be a woman.

There was only the screams of Ergou's wife in the cave. Is there no mother-in-law who delivered her?

Yanmai hid behind a big stone, and looked in quietly. It turned out that there was a fire at the entrance of the cave. The mother lay on the side and shouted. The great wizard Yuying was sitting cross-legged, muttering something in her mouth, not knowing what she was talking about.

It seems that she has never learned about this carefully because she is an unmarried girl. It turns out that women in the village must be sent to this cave when they want to have children, and the great wizard will pray for blessings and then deliver them.

Ye Xian also looked along her gaze. The mother was shouting loudly, so the great wizard Yuying did not see anyone coming in behind the cave at all.

This cave is formed by typical karst terrain, with stalactites everywhere, and there are dark rivers flowing by the foot. Water drops are constantly falling from the top of the cave, making it as loud as rain.

The situation at the entrance of the cave was a bit strange. The mother was in pain, but the great wizard closed his eyes and prayed for blessings regardless of the situation. What kind of blessings are you praying for in this situation? Aren’t you going to comfort the mother’s emotions and use herbs to relieve her pain?

After a while, the great wizard sat up. She picked up a bunch of herbs from the ground, lit them on the fire, and then put them in a thick porcelain bowl. Then she picked up a gourd and poured something into it.

She bent down and helped the mother to raise her head: "Come on, it won't hurt if you drink this." When the mother heard that it would not hurt, she hurriedly got up and drank it in one sip.

After a while, the mother's voice really became lighter, the medicine took effect, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Xian and Yanmai stared at the entrance of the cave without blinking, worried that the great wizard's movement would fall.

The great wizard called her name next to the mother, but the mother did not move. The great wizard reached out and pressed slowly on her belly, pressing down while pressing.

After a while, she saw her placing the mother's legs. It was the first time that Ye Xian and Yanmai saw the delivery with their own eyes. They held their hands nervously. Even though they knew that the sound of water dripping in the cave and the sound of the river flowing in the dark, they would not be seen by the great wizard, they were still cautious and did not dare to show it.

It was also possible that prayer had worked. Soon, the child was born. The great wizard cut off the umbilical cord quickly, picked it up and looked at it and sighed: "Hey, why is it another boy doll?"

She put the child aside casually, then put the placenta and umbilical cord of the mother's placenta and umbilical cord in a cloth bag, washed her hands in the river on the side, then picked up the child with a rag, got up and walked towards Ye Xian and the others. Ye Xian and Yanmai hid behind the big stone without moving, and the fire at the entrance of the cave only shone to a little in front, and it was pitch black behind. Ye Xian and Yanmai curled up together. Watching the great wizard walking slowly with the crying child, walking to a place to stop, the great wizard slashed at the stone wall, and the torch on the cave wall suddenly lit up. Ye Xian and the others were caught off guard and hurriedly lowered their heads, afraid that the target would be exposed under the fire.

Under the stone wall was a pool, and it seemed that something was raising inside. When they walked past there, they clearly heard the sound of claws scratching inside. Because they were dark and were not familiar with the situation in the hole, neither of them looked there. The child was thrown in, and after crying a few times, he calmed down. A strange sound sounded in the hole.

Yanmai was very scared. She held Ye Xian's hand tightly and trembled all over.

Ye Xian hugged her shoulders and signaled her not to be afraid.

After a while, the strange sound stopped and the scratching continued.

The great wizard stood by the pool and looked at it, nodded, looking very satisfied, walked slowly back, and sat at the entrance of the cave, like an old monk entering into meditation, without moving.

Ye Xian and Yanmai hid behind the big stones and waited, hoping that the mother would wake up early and the villagers would send her away quickly so that they could leave. The atmosphere in the cave was really strange, because they heard the strange sound just now clearly. It was... the sound of chewing things, like a human being eating meat, or eating that kind of tender skewers, small crisp bones, and they were clattering and crispy when they bite.

Thinking of the child who was thrown down, Yanmai was about to faint when she heard the sound. She began to regret why she came here. It was so terrible.

After a while, someone shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Great Wizard, how are my wife?"

The great wizard sighed: "O Ergou, God has not blessed you."

Ergou's crying sounded: "My wife, my child."

The great wizard shouted, "Your wife is alive, what are you calling?"

"Ah? Alive?"

Ergou choked.

"Yes, your wife has no problem. It's your child. This child has not been blessed by God. He was born into a pool of blood and disappeared... nothing has disappeared."

When he heard her say nothing was gone, and when he remembered the sound in the pool just now, Ye Xian felt cold all over and his hair stood up.

"It's all God's will. Next time I will give birth to a cute girl. Okay, take your wife back. Today, I'm so tired to talk to God."

Ergou wiped his tears and walked in with two young people. First, he bowed respectfully to the great wizard. One young person placed the old hen in his hand next to the great wizard, which was a thank you gift this time. Then the three of them carefully carried the mother to a simple stretcher.

"Your wife suffers a lot from giving birth. You have to treat her well. You are still young and as long as you are a good person, you will have another child in the future. You will definitely give birth to a girl and have both children."

In this village, every family is full of sons and daughters, and the words of the great wizard sound very sincere.

Ergou cried so much that he couldn't say anything. After lifting his wife up, he wiped his face hard: "Great Wizard, why is my wife sleeping all the time?"

"The child has become a pile of blood, but the pregnancy life is also very hard. Your wife is leaving a family with too much suffering for your family. It is understandable that she will take off the burden and sleep for a while."
