In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

It was already midnight, and the dilapidated temple was leaking. The flames on the fire swayed with the wind, and the shadows cast on the wall became distorted and strange.

In addition, this is a dilapidated temple, and there is a clay statue of Bodhisattva next to it.

The girl's scream scared not only Xu Xiaoya, but also the three men on the other side.

One of the men yelled, "What the hell are you yelling about? Do you have any sense in the middle of the night?"

I guess he was as scared as Xu Xiaoya, which is why he was so impatient.

The girl pointed at the entrance of the dilapidated temple tremblingly.

Xu Xiaoya also looked towards the door. Before she could see what was going on, she saw the three men jump up, swearing in shock.

At the same time, Xu's father and Xu Dazhu also stood up. The two brothers protected Xu Xiaoya in the middle, and they looked vigilantly towards the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

I saw a person staggering in at the door of the dilapidated temple, covered in blood, and even the places where she walked were dripping with blood.

It was the middle of the night, and he was wearing a white coat stained with blood and had long hair hanging loose. He looked scary no matter how you looked at him.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

A bearded man among the three men spoke first. He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his voice was trembling.

All kinds of monsters and demons will appear in this world, and they are also afraid.

The man raised his head with difficulty and took a look at the bearded man, then staggered and fainted.

"Oh my god, is she a human or a ghost?"

The bearded man poked the woman in white with the stick in his hand. Seeing no reaction, he knew she was not a threat.

Xu Xiaoya stretched her neck to look over.

Although there were three bonfires in the dilapidated temple, the space they illuminated was limited, and the woman's appearance could not be seen clearly at this time.

Father Xu hugged Xu Xiaoya tightly and told her not to move. Xu Dazhui walked forward. He was a hunter and knew some ways to deal with external injuries. Besides, Xu Xiaoya had just given him some medicine.

They didn't save everyone, but they felt that something was wrong with the woman, especially since she had not only knife wounds but also gunshot wounds.

Most of the people who get shot at this time are in special circumstances.

"She's still pregnant!"

The mother of the two women, who had been afraid to get close, exclaimed in surprise. Only then did everyone see clearly that the woman in white had a bulging belly.

"Oh, she's not looking right. Her water's broken! She's about to give birth!"

Following the mother's exclamation, everyone in the dilapidated temple was dumbfounded.

There are only eight people here, and except for the mother, no one has any experience.

"Brothers, this girl is not in good condition. Do you want to save her?"

The mother was not a fool. If she didn't help at this time, the pregnant woman in front of her would probably die, but she had no way to do it alone.

Xu Dazhu asked directly: "What do you need us to do? Since we have seen this, we can't just stand by and watch him die. We are all fellow villagers!"

The mother was stunned for a moment, then said, "I need hot water. Giving birth is not easy for a woman. I'm not sure, so I can only try!"

It's just about doing your best and leaving the rest to fate.

The eight people who had nothing to do with each other, except Xu Xiaoya and the little girl, all took action.

I have to say that they were lucky. The people who got together had no bad intentions and were all ordinary people.

Xu Dazhui and his father carried the woman in white to the pile of dry grass that had just been laid out.

There were three fires, but only Father Xu brought a clay pot to boil water, so we could only rely on him to boil water.

There was no water source around the dilapidated temple, so they all brought their own water. No one asked, and Xu's father did not explain how much water he brought.

But the mother didn't say much. It was good enough to have water, and she couldn't expect too much.

Xu Xiaoya curiously went over to watch the birth. Her mother had not allowed her to watch before, but now she could satisfy her curiosity.

"Don't watch it! My mother said that girls shouldn't watch childbirth. It's easy to bring bad things!"

The little girl grabbed Xu Xiaoya's arm to remind her.

Xu Xiaoya didn't stick her head out again, not because she believed what the little girl said, but simply because she knew why adults didn't allow underage girls to see this scene. If they saw it, how would they dare to have children in the future?

"Is your mother a midwife?"

Seeing that the adults were busy, Xu Xiaoya no longer felt like sleeping, so she simply moved closer to the little girl to chat.

Perhaps because she was afraid that the other person would not chat with her, Xu Xiaoya also gave the other person a piece of malt candy. A piece of candy can easily open up a conversation at any time.

"Almost. My mother is very powerful. Don't be afraid!"

The little girl wanted to refuse at first, but she hadn't eaten candy for a long time. When she saw the malt candy, her mouth was watering.

Because they were in a hurry to leave, they didn't bring much food with them. They only had steamed buns, which were all rotten. They could only barely keep themselves from going hungry.

Xu Xiaoya smiled when she saw the little girl finally accepted the candy.

She knew this trick would work.

"Are you visiting relatives?"

Xu Xiaoya lowered her voice. In fact, she had looked at the little girl's clothes. There were not many patches on them. She just looked very listless. It didn't look like she had no food to eat, but they just ate steamed corn bread.

This is very wrong.

"Well, there was a big man in the city who wanted to buy a young girl, and my father wanted to sell me, so my mother took me away!"

The little girl was simple-minded and answered any questions asked by Xu Xiaoya, who was so young.

Xu Xiaoya instantly thought of some possibilities. This father was indeed a scumbag who even wanted to sell his own daughter.

As the temperature rises, many people have a premonition that the days ahead may be difficult, and are all trying to find ways to survive.

At this time, the first to be sacrificed are often women and girls.

"Then your mother loves you very much!"

Xu Xiaoya did not ask any further questions, fearing that the little girl would feel upset, but instead praised the mother.

The little girl nodded: "My mother loves me the most!"

They saw that the woman in white had woken up, holding a hairpin in her hand. She opened her eyes and was about to attack the mother, but Xu Dazhu and the others quickly restrained her: "Big sister, don't be impulsive. This lady is here to help you with your baby. We are not bad people!"

The woman in white only then felt the pain in her stomach, and a muffled groan escaped her mouth. She clenched the hairpin in her hand and said, "Thank you!"

Her voice was hoarse, probably because she was suffering from severe contractions.

"Big sister, this is your first child, right?"

The eldest sister asked, and the woman in white nodded!

"That's right, but you have a lot of hair on your head, so just listen to my instructions. When I tell you to use force, you have to use force!"

Giving birth to a child is not easy in itself, and the first child is even more troublesome.

The woman in white didn't care about anything else and could only choose to believe what her elder sister said.

But she could see that the people in the dilapidated temple were all decent people, and her conscience wouldn't allow her to drag them down.

"Brothers, I'm being chased here. I think they're almost here. If you're scared, run!"

As the woman in white finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the dilapidated temple.

It’s too late to run!
