The two of them walked together.

Deng Jiaming led Lin Xuan through alleys, around the thatched houses with smoke rising from the kitchen, and finally arrived at the center of the village.

"The midwife lives in that room." Deng Jiaming pointed forward and introduced Lin Xuan.

"uh-huh?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan raised his eyes and looked up.

The first thing that catches the eye is a brick house made of red bricks. It is bright red in color and spotless. It is obvious that someone is cleaning it from time to time.

The next thing that came into view was the location pointed by Deng Jiaming.

It was a very ordinary gray stone brick house with a simple gray-white appearance on the walls. It seemed that it had been built for many years, giving it a very chronological impression.

After looking at it for a moment, Lin Xuan frowned and asked curiously: "The gray stone brick house on the right is where the midwife lives. What about the red brick house on the left? Who lives here?"

"That's our ancestral hall, where the memorial tablets of everyone in the village, old and young, are enshrined."

Everyone?

Hearing this, Lin Xuan looked slightly surprised, "Everyone in the village, old and young? Are they all being worshiped inside, living or dead?"

"Yes, they are all here."

Deng Jiaming nodded, his expression very calm, as if this was a normal thing in Peach Tree Village.

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and could only attribute this to the special customs of Taoshu Village.

Immediately, his eyes shifted to the brick house where the midwife lived, and he raised his feet to walk past.

But at this moment, Deng Jiaming grabbed him!

"Don't! Don't go in!"

"You hurt me!"

Lin Xuan frowned and broke away from Deng Jiaming's grasp, with strong doubts rising in his heart.

"Why can't I go there? Didn't you say the midwife lives here? Can't I go and visit?"

As he spoke, Lin Xuan stared sharply at Deng Jiaming's face, and soon caught a flash of panic and... deep fear on his face!

Deng Jiaming's eyes moved wildly, and after a moment, he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I won't let you in, it's because the midwife went to other villages to deliver babies during the day and will come back at night."

"If you want to visit her, you can come over in the evening, and I will definitely introduce you to her then."

"All right."

Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders and believed his reason for the time being.

But then, Lin Xuan asked again: "Then where are we going now? We can't just wait here, right?"

Hearing the sound, Deng Jiaming was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied: "Go to my house! I will show you my wife."

"Hey, let me tell you, my wife is a beauty from all over the country! I spent a lot of effort to marry her back home."

Deng Jiaming grinned, grabbed Lin Xuan's arm and led him home, but he seemed not to notice the strangeness in his words at all.

Go to my house and I will take you to see my beautiful wife?

The meaning contained in this sentence is very strange. Even if you think about it more deeply, it can be translated as: Go to my house, and I will let my beautiful wife sleep with you.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan felt inexplicably like being "jumped by an immortal".

While walking on the road, Lin Xuan asked casually: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what happened on the day when I went to the midwife for a checkup?"

Hearing this, Deng Jiaming scratched his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind fell into memories.

After a while, he began to describe the details of the inspection that night.

"It was eight o'clock in the evening. My wife and I came to the midwife's place together. After knocking on the door and getting an answer, we opened the door and walked in."

"I remember that we walked in one behind the other. My wife walked in front and I followed her."

"Just when my wife walked in, I was carrying gifts and was about to follow her, but suddenly I felt my clothes being pulled."

"I remember asking who it was, and then I instinctively looked back, but there was nothing behind me. I felt strange, and my wife called me in."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought it was because my clothes were caught on the door bolt and it should be fine."

"After arriving in the room, the midwife led my wife into the inner room for inspection, and then asked me to wait outside."

"It was dark after all, and I was dozing off alone outside. But at this moment, I was suddenly awakened by a call."

call?

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Deng Jiaming took a deep breath, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"At that time I heard my wife calling me from the back room, and then I rushed in to see what happened."

"But just after I entered, I saw a large pool of blood on the ground, and this blood came from my wife's stomach!"

"At that time, the midwife was standing nearby and frowning. She didn't go up to help. She just stared at my wife's belly."

"And when I rushed to my wife, I suddenly saw that there was a crack where the blood came out!"

"That crack... there was a lot of blood gurgling out of the crack. I stretched out my hand to help my wife press the crack, but it still kept bleeding!"

"Then I asked the midwife to help me, but she shook her head and said it was fine. The abortion would be fine after a while. This is a necessary item for examination!"

"She's right! After a while, the blood really stopped flowing, the crack disappeared, and my wife stopped crying in pain. It's amazing!"

"Then what?" Lin Xuan asked aloud.

"Then there was no more, we went home directly."

=????(●???●|||)

On the side, Lin Xuan looked at Deng Jiaming, who was trembling all over after falling into the cold cave, feeling shocked and confused from the bottom of his heart.

Is this guy stupid?

The situation was so weird, why did he choose to go home without asking anything in the end!?

Moreover, why is this guy's body language and his words completely different?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask: "So you didn't find anything wrong? There is a bleeding gash on your wife's stomach. This is already very strange! Have you never doubted the reason for this?

?”

Something wrong?

Deng Jiaming scratched his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Isn't this normal? The midwife has already said that this is what every pregnant woman will experience during the examination!"

Damn you!

Lin Xuan cursed in his heart, and said angrily: "Then the midwife is your mother or your father? Do you just listen to her like this? She is your wife. If this happens, you will not

Are you worried?"

However, the next moment, Deng Jiaming's words suddenly made Lin Xuan's heart twitch.

"The midwife is neither my mother nor my father, but what she said must be true and there is no mistake!"

Looking at Deng Jiaming with firm eyes, Lin Xuan frowned and at the same time, a strange thought came to his mind.

"This guy...could he have schizophrenia?"

Lin Xuan could tell from Deng Jiaming's words and deeds that the other party clearly knew that there was something wrong with the midwife, but for some reason, he still believed in the midwife from the bottom of his heart.

He seemed to be hypnotized. Even though he knew there was something wrong with the midwife, he still chose to believe it unconditionally!
