"Get out if you can't stand it anymore." Lingxi said to me.
I puffed up my cheeks and said, "It's okay, I'm much better now."
Lingxi stopped caring about me, turned around, picked up the oil lamp on the table, and said solemnly: "Stretch out your hands."
The old woman Liu Lanfang moved her arms with difficulty and asked: "Where did this girl learn from?"
Lingxi asked the uncle to lift the quilt, take out Liu Lanfang's hands, observe them carefully for a while, and responded: "Kunlun."
Liu Lanfang's sunken eye sockets suddenly expanded, and she exclaimed: "Du Qirui, Master Du..."
"My uncle." Lingxi said simply: "Your vulva is much more serious than I thought."
Liu Lanfang said sadly: "Four years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet Master Du. He said that I would die within seven years."
Lingxi agreed: "My uncle is not lying. Even if you have a purple-gold rooster and take a drop of chicken blood every day to balance the yin in the body with yang, it will not be able to completely eliminate it."
"Besides, the Yin Qi in your body has become more and more powerful over the years, and just a drop of purple-gold rooster blood is not enough."
"Even if there are ten more, it's still the same truth."
Lingxi considered it and said: "It's nothing more than helping you prolong your life until the day when the Yin Qi erupts like magma."
"I know." Liu Lanfang shook her hands and said with a look of despair and sorrow: "I have accepted my fate a long time ago. I would die sooner and relieve the pain. The reason why I have been delayed until today is because my old man is reluctant to let me go. If I leave, I will
He is left alone in the world."
I felt pity and said, "Don't you have any children?"
Liu Lanfang said with a gloomy expression: "Yes, I have a son who had a car accident three years ago, and the whole family of three was gone."
I apologized: "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness."
Liu Lanfang seemed to have looked away a long time ago and let her uncle help her get up and sit on the bedside. She panted and said: "The sadness has passed long ago. No matter how sad I am, they can't bring them back to life. I just want to live a few more years and guard my old man.
The longer the better.”
Lingxi said bluntly: "With all due respect, the deaths of your son's family of three are all your fault."
Liu Lanfang lowered her head silently and suddenly burst into tears.
I anxiously pulled Lingxi's sleeve and reminded him: "Master, what are you talking about? Everyone has his own destiny, and it's hard to go against God's will. How can you blame..."
"You don't understand." Lingxi looked at me and said, "As I said before, there are many rules and taboos in the midwife profession."
"Getting rid of the yin energy on your hands after delivering the baby is just one of them."
"Second, midwives must not assist Zhou in his abuse of human life."
"You asked her what she did?" Lingxi revealed without mercy: "Thirty years ago, it was the age of feudal thought, where boys were given priority over girls."
"The master gave her a favor, so she helped those families that favor sons over daughters and secretly hanged the mothers after they gave birth to their daughters."
"It's said that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, so I can only protect you first."
"Can't you bear the sins you have done by yourself?"
"The cycle of cause and effect, who will be spared by heaven?" Lingxi said indifferently: "The tragic death of her son's family of three is just retribution. She brought it upon herself."
I was speechless and in disbelief.
Lingxi looked disgusted and said, "I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"
Liu Lanfang knelt on the ground with a pop, slapped herself in the face and said, "It's me who is confused, my mind is lost, and I didn't listen to the advice given by my master."
The uncle knelt down beside him and prayed to Lingxi: "Girl, people always make mistakes. If you want the purple and gold cock, don't irritate my old lady. I still say the same thing, as long as you can cure her hand
I’ll give you whatever you want for your vulva.”
Lingxi took a long breath, put the oil lamp back on the table, and said calmly: "If it weren't for saving my apprentice, I really wouldn't want this purple and gold rooster of yours."
After saying that, Lingxi opened the curtains, letting the sunlight fill the dim room, and said with a smile: "Do you know why my uncle didn't save you seven years ago?"
"Because he thinks people like you are not worth saving."
