Silence reigned in the courtyard.

"You're f * cking courting death!" Bao Ningcheng lifted Shui Qingyan's collar, his eyes wide.

Shui Qingyan smiled slightly: "With this kind of heart, First Madam should be satisfied, it's just that this medicine came too late."

Inside the house, the First Madam was smiling with tears in her eyes.

Everyone could tell from Bao Ningcheng's tone that she was concerned about the First Madam, and let the First Madam know that it was at this time that she gave the best gift to the First Madam.

Bao Ningcheng did not understand, he looked at Shui Qingyan angrily, and wished that he could cut Shui Qingyan into a thousand pieces: "Damned old man, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Bao Ningcheng: "First Madam has had a difficult time giving birth, the Blood Destruction Elephant has already stopped, and now all the people in the eighteen strongholds are praying for First Madam. One less person, First Madam could easily die, the little old man has given birth for many years, and this is the most serious matter regarding the Blood Spirit Birth."

When someone in the yard heard this, he instantly shouted, "What nonsense is this?! What is a Blood Spirit?!"

"A quack doctor from there."

"That's right, that's right! What a mess! Everyone needs to pray for blessings!"

"How to pray for blessings? The Eighteen Stronghold never believes in buddhas! "

The maid in the room whose face had been injured by the silver needles was trembling all over. "Grandma, Granny, there really is a Blood Spirit. Just now, I felt it."

The midwife was already frightened to the core. Upon hearing the maid's words, her face immediately turned even paler. "You, you really, really, really felt it?"

The remaining three maids were not as old as the midwives, and their experiences weren't as experienced either. As they heard the trembling in the midwives' voices, they were immediately scared stiff.

"Yes." The maidservant nodded with certainty.

The midwife's legs gave out and she collapsed onto the ground.

First Madam suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower body, and shouted loudly, "Ah! Hurry, hurry, follow the doctor's instructions! "

First Madam's voice was extremely loud, so everyone in the courtyard could hear him loud and clear.

Bao Ningcheng immediately let go of Shui Qingyan. "Tell me quickly, what do you want to do, how do you want to be my sister-in-law?!"

Shui Qingyan turned around and carefully placed the medicinal case on her back. "This little old man has detected that there are two treasures in the northeast or northwest of this courtyard.

Bao Ningcheng instantly frowned: "The Northeast is the location of the great hall, that place only the Great Master's orders can enter, I will bring you to the Northwest!"

With that, Bao Ningcheng dragged Shui Qingyan out.

"The northwest is a forbidden source of water. There are also people watching here, could it be that Uncle Cheng wants to go there?" The Mrs. Chenghua sneered.

Bao Ningcheng did not even look at the Mrs. Chenghua as he pulled Shui Qingyan's collar and ran towards the northwest direction.

Everyone in the Eighteen Stronghold knew what the Northeast Main Hall meant. Although Bao Ningcheng was well-liked by Zhu Mingyi, he did not dare to barge into the Main Hall. Therefore, he chose the northwest forbidden region.

And all of Bao Ningcheng's actions, were all within Shui Qingyan's expectations.

Relying on his position at the eighteenth stronghold, Bao Ningcheng came to the forbidden water source without hindrance.

At the entrance of the forbidden area.

"Uncle Cheng, the Great Leader has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to enter. The water wells inside are the source of all the water sources in the Eighteen Stronghold. The gatekeeper stopped Bao Ningcheng.

When Shui Qingyan heard this, she sneered in her heart. Not only was this place the Eighteen Stronghold's forbidden water source, it was also the place where Zhu Mingyi hid his gold.

Bao Ningcheng's face darkened: "Open the door for me, otherwise I'll unload you!"

"Uncle Cheng, you have always been loyal to me, why must you push me to the brink of death today?"

"Get lost!" Bao Ningcheng pushed him to the side and said, "Big brother, come back. I will take all of the blame myself!"

The gatekeeper was pushed to the side, while others behind him immediately blocked Bao Ningcheng.

Because there were torches everywhere within the eighteen strongholds, when Shui Qingyan walked out of First Madam's room, her eyes once again sunk into darkness.

At this moment, hearing the voice in her ear, Shui Qingyan sighed: "Uncle Cheng, this place is somewhat unlucky. If we were to use the spirit energy here to pray for the blessings of the First Madam, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the unlucky side."

Just then, the guard noticed a small old man following behind Bao Ningcheng.

The gatekeeper frowned, "What are you talking about? Why don't you try your luck here!"

Shui Qingyan pretended to be scared to death and retreated a few steps: "I will speak the truth, because the flesh and blood in the First Madam's stomach is the son of the heavens, able to protect the 18 tribes and protect their wealth for 100 years, but how can it be possible for the heavens to protect the 18 tribes that easily, so I sent the Blood Spirit Lock Infant's life, and also the Plague God to this place."

When Shui Ruo finished speaking, that person was immediately angered from embarrassment. He drew out the big blade in his hand and said, "Where did you come from? How dare you spout nonsense in the Eighteen Strongholds? Do you believe I won't kill you?"

"How dare you touch him!" Bao Ningcheng was about to rush in, and upon seeing that the gatekeeper was going to hurt Shui Qingyan, he shouted loudly.

The man was shocked by Bao Ningcheng's appearance and kept his blade.

Bao Ningcheng came over to Shui Qingyan's side and looked at the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper looked at Bao Ningcheng, who was protecting Shui Qingyan behind him, and laughed: "Uncle Cheng, I am just scaring him. I have seen a lot of these kinds of people spouting nonsense."

Bao Ningcheng's patience was almost used up, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "He is here to deliver Sister-in-law's child, Sister-in-law is in labor now, Sister-in-law has orders, follow him, today I, Bao Ningcheng must enter, if you open the door, I will take responsibility!"

The gatekeeper's face was filled with difficulty. "This, this, it's not that we don't trust the Uncle Cheng, just that …"

Seeing how the situation had developed to this point, Shui Qingyan stroked her goatee, "What the First Madam is carrying is the son of an auspicious sign, even the god of pests are afraid, so all of this didn't cause too much damage to the 18 tribes. In the current 18 tribes, at most there will be people who suffer from diarrhea or dizziness."

As Shui Qingyan finished speaking, the gatekeeper looked at Shui Qingyan in shock: "There's indeed diarrhea, I've already made a few trips there today!"

"Boss, I don't think this old man will make any big waves either." A gatekeeper said, "I've also run to the toilet a few times. Perhaps what he said is true."

"Yeah, boss, the Uncle Cheng has already given his word."

"Sister-in-law having children is a big deal. If it's because of you and me, then we won't be able to explain ourselves when something happens to Sister-in-law."

The head gatekeeper hesitated as he heard his subordinate's words.

Seeing that, Shui Qingyan took out the bracelet: First Madam said that she must protect her child, so she gave this to the little old man, saying that all of you will believe him once you see it.

Just as expected, everyone including Bao Ningcheng saw the bracelet on Shui Qingyan's hand and knelt down on one knee.

The head gatekeeper said: "Seeing the bracelet is like seeing the boss. This is the day of the ceremony and is treated as a gift for my sister-in-law."

Hearing that, Shui Qingyan sighed in his heart, from the looks of it, Zhu Mingyi was sincere to First Madam, but unfortunately, First Madam had another beauty in her heart.

Bao Ningcheng immediately turned around when he saw the situation: "Hurry up and open the door! If something happens, I, Bao Ningcheng, will carry it! "

"The children of the First Madam are related to the future of the 18 villages. The little old man does not care whether we enter or not, since the little old man has already lived half her life." With that, Shui Qingyan turned around, "Uncle Cheng, let's go back."

Bao Ningcheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Shui Qingyan. "No!" He could not hear his sister-in-law's cries of pain.

"Doctor, you must be joking. Please come in. This matter is of great importance, and there are many ways to offend you. I hope you don't mind." The gatekeeper who was about to attack Shui Qingyan immediately went forward to block Shui Qingyan's path.

Shui Qingyan stroked her goatee: "The little old man has been born countless times, to be able to meet a lucky star in this world is also my good fortune, forget it, today I will just accumulate some morals, offending the god of pests, it is my fate that this calamity had befallen me."

Hearing Shui Qingyan's solemn words, the head guard immediately nodded his head: "This way please."

Bao Ningcheng immediately carried Shui Qingyan and entered the water forbidden grounds.

Water source forbidden zone.

Bao Ningcheng and the guard leader followed closely behind Shui Qingyan. Shui Qingyan looked over there, over there, and took two steps towards the well.

"Ah, doctor, that's a well over there. Be careful not to fall down." The head guard immediately stepped forward to stop Shui Qingyan who was about to step forward.

Seeing that, Shui Qingyan turned around, raised her head and looked at the sky: "What time is it now?"

"It's just after ten." Bao Ningcheng said.

Shui Qingyan nodded and put down the medicine box. Then, she took out a bowl from the top of the medicine box: "Give me a bowl of water."

The leader of the guards stepped forward and said, "Doctor, let me do it. Your eyes won't be able to keep track of me." As he said that, he directly took the bowl from Shui Qingyan's hands.

The man who was guarding the well shook the rope to bring the bucket down. Then he shook the rope to pull the bucket up.

The guard touched the strange bowl and looked around to make sure nothing was amiss before dipping his hand into the bucket.

Just as the water was taken out, Shui Qingyan drew a stone from her sleeve.
