When Qin Bai found Wei Lianzhang in the county government office, he saw that the other person had a sad face and had been sitting at the desk reading the letter in his hand.
After Qin Bai inquired about the reason, he learned that the matter of seconding troops was not optimistic.
As a civil official, it was difficult for Wei Lianzhang to order local commanders with military power, not to mention that he could not give any good reasons at all.
Qin Bai is not afraid of the demons in Hanshan Temple, mainly because it is close to Gusu City. If trouble occurs, there will probably be a lot of casualties.
After thinking for a moment, he suggested: "Old Wei, why don't you go to the military camps in other provinces and try it."
Wei Lianzhang shook his head: "I am a veteran of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation, let alone other places."
"I know a group of border patrol troops. Although there are not many in number, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals. You can find a way to deploy them."
Qin Bai told Wei Lianzhang about Wang Sheng's situation. The border patrol was mainly engaged in suppressing bandits, so it should not be difficult to second him.
Moreover, they have already faced demons, and each of them has at least Ming Jin cultivation, so they are more suitable for this situation than ordinary soldiers.
"I'll give it a try, but it's a bit far. I'm afraid it will take more than ten days to go back and forth."
Qin Bai stared slightly: "The border patrol should be able to catch up. I always feel that there may not be a big chaos before the Laba Festival."
Laba Festival, also known as the Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, was originally a day to commemorate the enlightenment of Sakyamuni.
"Laba Festival……"
Wei Lianzhang also noticed that it was indeed impossible to say that there were no changes in Hanshan Temple during this grand Buddhist festival.
"I'll immediately check up on previous years' Laba Festivals."
He got up and walked out of the house, intending to ask Magistrate Xu to arrange the specific matters, but he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.
Wei Lianzhang turned to look at Qin Bai and said in a strange tone: "By the way, the Wang Dahu who went to Hanshan Temple to ask for a son has given birth. This matter is now being spread throughout most of Gusu City..."
Qin Bai was stunned. He had obviously eliminated the cockroach, so why did it suddenly change? Could there be some back-up plan?
"How could it be so fast? Didn't you just go to ask for a child a few days ago?"
"You know, this matter has something to do with demons, so you can only take the trouble to check it out."
Wei Lianzhang couldn't help laughing when he said this: "It may be a rumor spread by the servants of the Wang family. It is said that the baby was born by the family's scalper."
After saying that, he covered his face and left quickly, leaving only Qin Bai with a complicated expression.
Could it be that Wang Dahu also invited a statue of Guanyin to his scalpers? If the speculation is true, it is really outrageous.
Qin Bai was stunned for a long time before he got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart. Seeing that it was getting late, he left the Yamen and headed towards the inn.
The barbecue stalls on the street are still open. This kind of food is naturally suitable for survival in the night market, and it also makes the deserted night become lively.
After returning to the inn, Qin Bai went around the yard and found no trace of the donkey. He asked the waiter but he didn't know where it had gone.
Qin Bai didn't take it to heart. He was still very relieved about the donkey's fighting power.
During this period of time, Donkey followed him and ate a lot of therapeutic dishes. His martial arts cultivation was almost reaching the peak of Ming Jin. He might actually have a chance to form a martial arts golden elixir.
The fat boss greeted Qin Bai enthusiastically after seeing him, but the latter said a few perfunctory words and went straight back to the guest room to rest.
Qin Bai meditated instead of sleeping, and didn't open his eyes until noon the next day.
This practice almost delayed his own affairs. He didn't expect that when his cultivation reached the bottleneck, he felt like he would break through at any time while meditating. Unknowingly, several hours had passed.
It's no wonder that some monks spend a lot of time in retreat. It may be more than ten years before they realize what they are doing.
However, the path of retreat is obviously not suitable for Qin Bai. If he wants to achieve enlightenment, everyone has his own predestined relationship, and it cannot be achieved by blind retreat.
Qin Bai ate some food and left the inn, heading towards the Wang family's mansion.
Near the mansion, many residents could be heard talking in low tones. It seemed that it was common knowledge that scalpers gave birth to children.
The atmosphere in the house was even more strange. Wang Dahu called everyone into the main hall, and the servants stood in the corner tremblingly.
The four wives and concubines were trembling all over. They looked at the wing next door from time to time, with fear in their eyes.
Standing in the center of the main hall is the most famous midwife in Gusu City. She is about fifty years old and has a lot of gray hair on her head.
"Qing Po, help me, go see my children." Wang Dahu said with an inexplicable smile on his face, pointing to the wing room.
Qingpo's palms were full of sweat. How could she not see the strangeness, so she quickly said: "Mr. Wang, maybe we can talk about it another day..."
Wang Dahu didn't answer her, and the wooden door of the main hall had been closed by his servants.
Qingpo staggered to the door. She turned back and glanced at Wang Dahu, only to hear him mumbling to himself as if he was suffering from hysteria.
"The child keeps fussing when he is hungry. What should I do if he won't sleep due to fussing..."
Qingpo didn't open the door. She dipped her fingers in some saliva and rubbed a hole in the paper window, then put her eyes over it.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
She let out a scream of terror, then took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Qingpo didn't know what she saw, but the sweat all over her body seemed to have soaked her clothes instantly.
The baby's cry sounded from the side room and became louder and louder, and could be heard faintly even outside the palace.
Moreover, the cry was mixed with the sound of swallowing, clearly feeling the suppressed hunger.
Qingpo's legs kept shaking, her whole body lost all strength, and she couldn't even speak for a short time.
When she came to the Wang family's residence before, she knew the rumors from the outside world. Qingpo had been in this business for decades and also knew about the Guanyin.
The Buddha statue in Hanshan Temple is very evil. Normally, a baby is born in ten months, but after asking Guanyin to give birth to a child, a baby boy can be born in just one month.
Moreover, after the baby boy is born, his cry is much softer than that of ordinary babies. From my experience as a midwife, it may be due to the loss of his soul.
Qingpo didn't pay much attention when she learned that the so-called scalper gave birth to a baby, but it wasn't until she actually saw the baby that she realized she was in the wrong place.
This is not a baby, it is clearly a demon...
"How could my child be sick? He's not sick, he's just hungry..." Wang Dahu muttered to himself, his eyes becoming fierce.
The rest of the people present began to tremble, and several wives and concubines could not help but lower their voices and sobbed.
Wang Dahu shook his head and said quietly: "This child is too picky. He doesn't drink the wet nurse's milk. At first, he only ate some grass. Then he fell in love with meat. Now he doesn't touch ordinary meat."
He looked at Qing Po with wide eyes: "Do you know what he wants to eat?"
Qingpo shook her head crazily. At this moment, the door was knocked, and a man's voice came from outside.
"That's not okay. It's not good for children to be picky eaters. They will probably become disabled."
