Chapter 278: Despair in the Heart Dream of Immortal

But when Hua Xu just rushed to the witch doctor's house, before she even had time to knock on the door, she felt a sudden abdominal pain in her stomach, which made her cry out in pain.

A strange feeling surged into Hua Xu's heart, making him feel deeply reluctant.

Even though she didn't know how the child came from, or why she became pregnant, the mother and child are connected by heart, and even though the child has not yet been born, a little maternal love has arisen in her heart.

The slight pain just now aroused the maternal love that she had deliberately suppressed.

But when Hua Xu thought of her family rules, this bit of maternal love was immediately wiped out.

If she wanted a child, she could have one at any time in the future, but if she was driven out of the tribe because of this little maternal love, then there would be no hope for the future at all.

Hua Xu squatted on the ground and rubbed his lower abdomen, which seemed a little tight due to the restraint of the cloth belt. Before he could stand up, some of the tribesmen around him had already surrounded him, looking at him with concern.

Among them, one or two female tribesmen stepped forward and tried to help the young chief up.

Hua Xu took the opportunity to lead his people to transport back many huge wild beast corpses, which earned him a great reputation within the Fengyan tribe.

At this moment, the tribesmen saw Huaxu's painful expression and came forward spontaneously, showing great concern for her. On normal days, Huaxu would have been overjoyed, but today, she felt very troubled.

The feeling of being restrained by the cloth belt made her very uncomfortable, and she had no energy to greet these tribesmen.

But this is just a small matter. The most important thing is that if someone holds her, they will definitely notice the abnormality in her lower abdomen, so she cannot let them touch her.

But before Hua Xu could politely refuse the support of other tribesmen, a female tribesman shouted, "Everyone, come here! The young tribe leader's stomach is moving, come here! Go and call the witch doctor, come and see the young tribe leader!"

Hua Xu was shocked and quickly looked at her belly. Sure enough, her belly, which was originally flat, was now slowly bulging. Her heart sank and the cloth belt actually broke!
"Those clothes are too torn after all, and I came too quickly to tie a few more. What shall I do?"

Hua Xu felt heavy in her heart, but now in public, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. What's more, the witch doctor had already opened the door and was pulled here by several tribesmen.

Chief Feng Yan was not far away at the moment. After hearing the news from his tribesmen, he hurried over and asked with concern, "My daughter, what happened to you? Did you eat too much and have some food in your stomach? Or did you accidentally take the wrong herbs? Master witch doctor, please come and see my daughter."

The witch doctor is close to nature and is born with many prescriptions. He usually saves lives and heals the wounded in the tribe. His prestige is very high, second only to the clan leader. Even the clan leader cannot order the witch doctor around at will, but must respect his opinions.

Feng Yan, the witch doctor, was a white-haired old man. At this moment, he stretched out a hand and placed it on Hua Xu's wrist to see if there was anything wrong with his body.

Hua Xu was afraid and wanted to say something but stopped herself, but her father and many tribesmen were gathered here, so she could not refuse the witch doctor's diagnosis.

Feng Yan, the witch doctor, looked solemn at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Young Clan Leader didn't eat anything bad, nor did he take the wrong herbs. She is just pregnant. I will prescribe a few doses of herbal medicine, and you will be fine after you drink it."

"what!"

The words of Feng Yan witch doctor were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, instantly causing countless ripples.

Some particularly traditional members of the tribe were now looking at Hua Xu with disgust, as if they were looking at something dirty. They wished they could kick her out of the tribe immediately to prevent her from continuing to dirty the Fengyan tribe's land.

Chief Feng Yan couldn't believe that his daughter had done such a shameless thing, but he still didn't give up and asked, "Master witch doctor, was it a misdiagnosis? My daughter hasn't even sworn an oath in front of the statue of the queen with any other man, so how could she be pregnant!"

The witch doctor's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "Whether she is pregnant or not, I believe I have some ability to tell. If the tribe leader doesn't believe it, you can ask the young tribe leader. But judging from the young tribe leader's expression, I'm afraid she has already expected it."

Chief Feng Yan hesitated and turned his head stiffly. As expected, he saw Hua Xu with a dead look on his face, obviously agreeing to the matter.

"You, you! How can I tolerate you if you are so shameless!"

The Fengyan tribe leader roared, then waved his hand and shouted, "Come here! Huaxu is shameless and committed adultery before marriage. She has failed the expectations of Yuanshi Tianzun and Guangchengzi Immortal Master. She will be expelled from the tribe within a hundred miles and left to fend for herself!"

Some members of the tribe could not bear to see Hua Xu suffer such a misfortune and were about to step forward to plead for mercy, but they were scared away by the tribe leader's words.

"If anyone dares to beg for mercy again, he will have to get out of the tribe along with Hua Xu!"

Hua Xu was disheartened, but now that the matter was settled, she could do nothing about it. She had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow three times to the Fengyan clan leader, saying in a low voice, "Father, please forgive me for my unfilial behavior. I am leaving now."

After saying that, Hua Xu slowly stood up and walked out of the tribe in a daze. Watching Hua Xu's departing figure, the mountain-like body of Feng Yan chief slowly hunched down, his old eyes filled with tears, and his white hair at the temples was constantly blown by the wind. At this moment, he was no longer a chief, but a father mourning for his daughter.

But he had to do this. He was the chief of the Fengyan tribe and he had to set an example. If even he was partial and violated the law, no one in the tribe would abide by the tribal rules.

Not to mention sacrificing his daughter, even sacrificing himself would be worth it.

But he is a father after all, and he pushed his daughter to a dead end with his own hands. How could he not feel pain?
Chief Feng Yan's eyes went blurry for a moment, and he remembered the gentle woman again.

They swore together in front of the goddess Nuwa that they would never leave each other for the rest of their lives. They did not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, and to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.

But at the most beautiful moment between them, she met with an accident and passed away first.

But before she died, she smiled and said to him: "I have no regrets in my life for meeting him, I am just worried about my daughter, so I asked him to take good care of Hua Xu." Finally, she died with a smile in his arms.

But he ultimately let this gentle woman down.

"Hua Li... Hua Xu..."

Chief Feng Yan's eyes went blurry for a moment, but he forced himself to lead Hua Xu out of the tribe, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, leaving behind countless screaming tribesmen.

Hua Xu walked out of the tribe in a daze. It was strange that she was pregnant, but her steps were very fast, even faster than normal running. Even when she was unconscious, she was able to spontaneously avoid various obstacles when walking forward, which was extremely strange.

Hua Xu also came to her senses and found that she could even walk so fast. She was surprised, but she was sad and didn't take it to heart. Instead, she came to a high mountain a hundred miles away from the Fengyan tribe and stayed there.

The reason why she chose to stay here was that the terrain here was high and dangerous, and wild beasts generally would not come to the top of the mountain. There were also various wild fruits on the top of the mountain, which she could use to satisfy her hunger.

Secondly, this mountain was the highest one she had ever been to nearby, and she could see some traces of the Fengyan tribe from afar. After all, she couldn't just give up the tribe.

Hua Xu sat in a cave, gently stroking her belly, and said to herself: "My child, you don't have to worry about me getting rid of you, but I, your mother, have to worry about how to raise you. Although there are many wild fruits here, they will be eaten up sooner or later. When that happens, where will your mother go to find food?

After Hua Xu finished speaking, he went to pick up some wild grass and spread it on the ground.

After all, the ground was wet and she was pregnant, so she had to be more careful.

It was already late at night, and Hua Xu was shrouded in sorrow again. He had no mood to walk outside, so he lay on the grass. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he fell into a dream.

In the dream, Hua Xu saw an old man wearing a black robe, a sky-colored Taoist hat, and with a kind face.

The old man was standing on two strange beasts, one of which was like a roc soaring in the sky, and the other was like a giant fish swimming in the sea.

It was clearly such a huge monster, but it was very strangely stepped on by the old man, and there was no sense of incongruity at all, which really made Hua Xu feel panic.

The old man smiled gently and said to Hua Xu: "My friend, don't worry about the baby in your belly. Your child is a natural saint, the reincarnation of an ancient god, and is destined to accomplish great things. You will also enjoy endless peace and tranquility. In the future, you will have food and clothes to eat. You just need to rest assured and take care of the baby."

When Hua Xu heard the old man talking, she realized that this was the legendary immortal entering her dream. She immediately prostrated herself on the ground and said with tears in her eyes, "Excuse me, Immortal, I have never had sex with anyone, so why am I pregnant?"

The old man smiled and said, "You have indeed not committed adultery with anyone. The reason you are pregnant is because you stepped on the footprint of the great god Lei Ze. The footprint contains a little bit of the great god Lei Ze's yang energy, which combined with the yin energy in your body and naturally condensed into a fetus. This is the law of nature and it is not a dirty thing."

When Hua Xu heard that she had stepped on the so-called footprint of the great god Lei Ze, she felt a little strange, but suddenly, she thought of the huge pit before, and the huge pit seemed to really be like a footprint.

After the old man finished speaking, he immediately disappeared, and Hua Xu woke up from his dream.

Looking at the cold stone wall in front of her, Hua Xu thought she was just dreaming. She found it funny in her heart, but her eyes were sore and she was crying secretly. Just as she stood up, she suddenly found a fruit next to her hand.

The fruit is the size of a fist and red all over, just like a jujube, but ordinary jujubes are only the size of a thumb, while this one is much larger.

Smelling the fragrance of the dates, Hua Xu couldn't help but eat them. He felt a warm current sliding into his throat and finally a warm current rising in his abdomen, which instantly relieved the stress of his originally tired body. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.

Knowing that he was not dreaming but was really predicted by the immortal, Hua Xu was excited and knelt down in all directions to express his respect.
