Pregnant Woman

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo’s confused expression and smiled even happier.

Humans were complicated. Su Kuo still had a lot to learn.

After walking slowly for two months, they arrived at Furongzhou.

In the past two months, Su Kuo had witnessed the fickleness of humans.

Someone who looked like beggars turned around, changed out of their tattered clothes, and turned to enter the casino.

Someone who looked like a harmless child turned around and tricked him into walking into the uninhabited forest.

Su Xiaolu would not remind him, but she would settle it with him in the end.

In the beginning, Su Kuo was ignorant and believed everyone. Now, he was a little cautious. He was growing.

When they arrived at Furongzhou, Su Xiaolu prepared to enter Furongzhou to take a look. It had been ten years. She wondered if Liu Zijin was still working in Furongzhou.

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. She had not seen them for more than ten years. Now that they met again, everyone she knew would be old friends.

Su Xiaolu decided to go. She felt that the current her was like Old Wu from more than ten years ago. She wanted to meet old friends.

When Su Kuo was not in human form, he was mostly in the Space. He was not familiar with the people Su Xiaolu was familiar with. Now that he had transformed, apart from teaching him, Su Xiaolu also wanted to let him know all her relatives and friends.

Passing through the lush forest, the calmness was broken after a few days.

There was a pregnant woman blocking the way.

The pregnant woman’s stomach was bulging and she kept screaming in pain. Her clothes and hair were drenched in sweat. Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. She looked so miserable.

Su Xiaolu looked around and said to Su Kuo, “Little Kuo, go take a look.”

Su Kuo had also noticed her. He was waiting for Su Xiaolu to speak.

Now that Su Xiaolu spoke, he immediately tightened his grip on the horse and went forward.

He dismounted and squatted down in front of the woman. “Madam, why are you here? Do you need my help?”

The woman’s eyes were filled with tears as she said pitifully, “Young Master, my name is Bai Hongmei. I was arguing with my husband and wanted to go back to my maiden home in a fit of anger. My maiden home is in a village in the mountains. It takes six hours to get there. However, halfway through, I triggered the fetal qi and went into labor. There’s nothing around here. I don’t know what to do. Young Master, please save me.”

“Young Master, it’s getting dark. If you don’t save me, I’ll definitely die here. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda.”

Bai Hongmei looked at Su Kuo with tears in her eyes.

Su Kuo subconsciously looked back at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu lowered her head. Although she did not say anything, her attitude said, “Don’t look at me. Do as you see fit.”

“Miss, please do me a favor. I’m already eight months pregnant. If you’re willing to send me back to my maiden home, my parents will thank you heavily.”

Bai Hongmei looked at Su Xiaolu pleadingly.

Su Kuo thought about how he had experienced so many scams. He pondered for a moment and looked at the woman who called herself Bai Hongmei. “You said that you argued with your husband, but you’re pregnant with his child. Is he really not worried about you? Your husband is in the city. Why do you want to return to the deep mountains?”

Bai Hongmei was stunned. Then, tears fell. She didn’t answer and cried at first.

Su Kuo frowned. “Why are you crying? Isn’t it normal for me to ask? The world is different now. There are so many demons and ghosts.”

Bai Hongmei shook her head. “Young Master, don’t be angry. I’m not blaming you. I only cried because I was sad about this.”

“Young Master, you don’t understand. When I was pregnant, my husband hooked up with Widow Wang. I was really angry. When I left, he did not chase after me. If I go back now, he’ll look down on me even more. Young Master, you don’t understand the difficulties of women. This isn’t your fault. I wasn’t supposed to give birth yet. I didn’t know that I would give birth halfway.”

Bai Hongmei sobbed as she explained.

Su Kuo listened. There was an answer to his doubts. This should be fine, right?

He looked at Su Xiaolu again. His sister still lowered her head and did not speak.

He said to Bai Hongmei, “Alright, I’ll send you back, but what do you want to give me for sending you back? Look at this wilderness. It’s very risky for me to send you back. 20 taels. Do you agree?”

After saying that, Su Kuo looked at the woman. He had also learned to test and exchange.

It was already very strange for a pregnant woman to appear on this road. Thinking that he had been tricked so much, he had to be careful.

Bai Hongmei pursed her pale lips and finally nodded with tears in her eyes. “Alright, I agree. My parents only have one daughter. As long as we go back safely, they will agree.”

Su Kuo helped Bai Hongmei up and helped her onto the horse. Then, he walked under Bai Hongmei’s guidance.

Su Xiaolu followed behind. She wondered if Su Kuo had seen through it. How much did he see through?

After entering the forest, the road became more and more remote, and the sky turned dark.

Bai Hongmei’s moans became softer and softer on the way.

There was only moonlight lighting the way in the forest.

Bai Hongmei suddenly cried out in pain. “Ah, Young Master, I’m going to give birth. I can’t hold on anymore…”

The corners of Su Kuo’s mouth twitched. “Then what should we do now?”

Bai Hongmei was very calm. “Now, I can only ask you to help me deliver the child. Go find firewood and start a fire. This lady will stay here to help me… I can only rely on you.”

Su Xiaolu turned around and walked into the dark forest.

Su Kuo sighed and said helplessly, “My sister went to find firewood. I’m the only one accompanying you. Madam Bai, you don’t mind, right?”

Bai Hongmei shook her head. “I don’t mind, as long as Young Master doesn’t despise me.”

Although it was different from her original plan, it was fine. She had just changed the order.

In any case, it didn’t matter who died first.

“Young Master, I-I think I’m about to give birth. Please take a look at me.”

Bai Hongmei lay on the ground, holding her stomach in pain as she spoke with difficulty.

“What do I think?”

...

Su Kuo’s voice was calm. He hated liars. Liars were detestable. Liars deserved to die, especially liars who cheated people’s lives.

“Young Master, help me lift my dress and take a look. Is my child about to be born?”

Bai Hongmei guided Su Kuo.

Su Kuo went closer. Watching him approach, Bai Hongmei’s smile was eerie under the moonlight.

As long as Su Kuo approached to help her check, her child could open its mouth and bite off his head.

Closer. Closer. Hurry up and let my child eat you. Get closer. Yes, that way, it won’t take any effort. That way, her legs can trap him.

“Ahhh—”

A sharp sword appeared out of nowhere and pierced into her abdomen. Bai Hongmei screamed.

Su Kuo’s voice was cold. “Damn liar, damn demon, don’t try to lie to me. I’ve seen through you!!”

After being tricked so many times, how could he believe it so easily? How could he not think about it? Therefore, on the way, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the end, the answer was that this pregnant woman was a liar. His sister had said that as long as he thought about it seriously and eliminated all possibilities, the rest, no matter how ridiculous, was the truth.
