only god

Chapter 267
Carol left the witch's residence in a panic. As soon as she set foot on the road in the dense forest, she swung her legs and walked quickly, for fear that the witch would go back on keeping her.

Along the way, her tiredness was frightened away, and it wasn't until after walking out of the dense forest that Carol's legs became sore belatedly, and she almost couldn't stand still.

Looking at the water bag in her hand, Carol felt that all this was just like a dream.

I, an ignorant peasant woman... unexpectedly met a legendary witch in the forest?

Although Wen Po is occasionally regarded by others as a witch, the incarnation of evil spirits, and the object of ghost possession...but that is just the prejudice of outsiders. Of course, as Wen Po, I cannot have anything to do with witchcraft!

But the one in that forest was a real witch.

The fear subsided slowly, and Carol gripped the water bag tightly.

The witches' potions...often possessed of extraordinary powers.

Because of this, although most people are secretive about witches, there are also some wealthy children and princes and nobles who yearn for the magical power of witches.

Even though... In stories, witches often lure people into the abyss of eternal doom.

But... moths will always rush to the fire, just as people always pursue extraordinary power.

A spark of greed flashed in Carol's eyes.

But soon, the situation that she couldn't protect herself made her unable to think about it any more. She had to help the pregnant woman give birth smoothly before thinking about the bag of potions.

....................................

The day when pregnant women give birth has come.

It was noon, the sun was hanging high, and Carol was sweating profusely. She ran to the edge of the stream and splashed her face with the turbulent water. The nerves in her brain were always tense.

Steady women often have a premonition about the birth of a baby, and their premonition is often regarded as a supernatural ability after embellishing it.

And today, Carol's heart was beating so fast, her stomach swelled and deflated, as if the soon-to-be baby was not kicking his mother, but her.

"Carol! Caro Po!"

Several rapid crowing sounds sounded from the village, and Carol immediately understood what was going on.

That pregnant woman is about to give birth!

Carol rushed towards the family's residence with big strides. As soon as she passed, she saw the family with anxious faces. The chickens and ducks raised in their house smelled of blood and screamed crazily.

"Get out, all out!"

Carol yelled.

Everyone in the family was out except the pregnant woman, and Carol saw the young woman curled up on a pile of straw, moaning,

His head was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he writhed in pain.

Her stomach swelled high, and her screams shocked the whole village.

Carol hurriedly asked the people outside to prepare scissors and hot water.

After a while, all the things she asked for were delivered, and Carol busily walked back and forth, constantly observing the expression of the pregnant woman, so as to keep her energetic at all times.

"You've got to squeeze the baby out! Let the fertility gods take care of you."

The pregnant woman nodded in pain with a pale face.

While praying to the God of Fertility, Carol pressed the mother's hand and comforted the mother constantly, telling her to relax, work hard, relax, and work hard again.

The mother is like an old cow pulling a heavy iron pear, kicking her legs constantly.

Just like that... a full half of the afternoon passed, and the time passed through the dusk unknowingly, and came to the evening, but there was no sign of the child coming out.

There were bursts of cold sweat on Carol's face.

Could it be... Difficult childbirth?
A brazier was lit in the room, and Carol called on the mother to use her strength, but... the mother's spirit had already begun to weaken, and she was tortured by the childbirth without much strength.

Carol gritted her teeth, she no longer hesitated, and took out the water bag in her arms.

It was a potion given to her by the Witch of the Woods.

With a feeling of uneasiness, Carol fed the potion in the water bag to the wilting parturient.

Gudong, gudong sound of water sounded, the mother drank two or three sips, and after coughing a few times, her eyes gradually recovered.

Carol was ecstatic to see this scene.

it works!This potion really works!

The mother gradually regained her spirit and strength. She kept exerting force on her crotch and legs. After an unknown period of time, Carol wiped her birth canal and found that the baby had poked its head out.

Not long after, the baby was born smoothly. Although Carol's technique was rough, fortunately she was also a person who had given birth six times. She grabbed the scissors soaked in hot water and cut off the umbilical cord.

It consists of two blades, commonly known as spring leaf scissors, invented by the three-eyed ape-man, and it was brought here for trade by the camel caravan.

Wrapping the newborn baby in a clean sackcloth, Carol dropped the scissors, her eyes sore.

"Bless the Fertility God! Praise the Fertility God!
It's a boy, it's a boy!Mother and child are safe! "

Carol yelled loudly, and the previous worries and pains were swept away. When people outside opened the door and broke in, they saw the steady woman crying like the baby in her hands.

The baby was born without incident.

Carol's third delivery was finally a success.

....................................

In the next two years, as a steady wife, Ka Luo delivered more than 20 children.

Of the more than 20 children, only two or three unfortunately died.

Among them, there is naturally the favor of luck, but at the same time, the potion given by the witch in the forest is also indispensable.

Now, because of her superb delivery skills, even the people in the village who discriminate against Wenpo the most can't help but respect her.

Carol transformed from a stable woman who worried about life and death to one of the most influential people in the village.

In the middle of the night, she got up from the plank bed and stroked the water bag full of medicinal herbs.

Those potions... are running out.

I shouldn't use so much, I should use less, even if a few more babies die
She began to regret that she had squandered the witch's potion too much.

After a while, the steady woman wondered what would happen if she used up all the potions.

She shuddered.

The lessons learned by the previous Wen Po are still vivid in my mind.

Carol's eyes were full of panic...

as well as…

A hint of greed.

　There will be more tomorrow!
