Title IV Chapter 81 The Fetus
"Sun Bo, Xun Bo, something big happened!" As soon as the old butler sat up from the bed in the morning, an anxious shout from the servant came from outside the wooden door.
"It's really useless, what's the point of making a fuss?" The old housekeeper put on his clothes, put on his cloth shoes, walked slowly to the front door and opened the door. A thin servant was standing at the door with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Yesterday...that Azhi, he..." The servant said hesitantly, looking very panicked.
"Bang!" The old housekeeper slapped the servant on the forehead. "If you have anything, just say it quickly. Azhi was the servant who received Yinliang yesterday and was responsible for burning the corpses in the well at night. What's going on? Was he afraid and didn't do it?"
"No...No, the villain got up earlier this morning than usual, because the villain was responsible for the backyard cleaning work and was about to weed the backyard this morning. Who knew that when he saw Azhi dead." The servant seemed to recall what he saw a few minutes ago, and couldn't help but become scared.
"Die? How did you die?" The old housekeeper was a little concerned about the young grandmother's bizarre death. Now, when he heard that the servant who went to burn the body last night was dead, he couldn't help but twitch in his heart.
"When I first walked towards the backyard with a mow knife, because my eyesight was a little bad, I could only see a black thing at the wellhead. The knot... As a result, when I approached, I saw clearly that a person who was burned into charcoal was lying at the wellhead. Azhi and I were also familiar with each other in private. Although the man's whole body was burnt, it must be Azhi from his body. After that, I will inform the butler first." The servant said with a trembling body.
"Take me to see!" The housekeeper frowned, followed the servant, and quickly walked to the backyard. At this moment, there were already many servants next to the wellhead, including Zhang Chen.
"Get out of the way!" After the butler shouted, the servant in front of him made way. When the butler walked in, he saw a man who had been burned to death and was leaning against the wellhead, but his dark face was still covered with a terrified expression before his death.
"Butler, do you think this is...haunted?" someone muttered softly.
"What a f*ck. Go and take a few pieces of white cloth to cover the body, wrap it up and put it in the granary first. In a few days, notify his family to take the body of this servant back to his hometown. Give some silver to send his family members, and say that he accidentally spilled oil on his body and burned it to death." After the butler gave a few instructions, he turned around and left. In his opinion, he had to tell the head of the family about this.
The old butler was a little uneasy. After walking back to the house, he walked directly to the entrance of the second floor, raised his fingers and knocked on the wooden door and said, "Master, I have something to do and I want to report it like you."
After a while, Zuo Zhong's voice came from the door, "It's just right, Xun Bo. Go and invite Dr. Han over, the wife is about to give birth."
"Ah? How could the wife be born so soon? I immediately sent a servant with a straightforward legs to invite Dr. Han over." The old housekeeper naturally did not dare to compare the death of a servant with the continuation of the descendants of the Zuo family. Naturally, the death of a person in the backyard was buried first in his heart. He was afraid that the wife would get angry when she said it. He immediately called the servant who was cleaning the hall downstairs to invite Dr. Han on the street.
In the room with a door separate from the old housekeeper, Chongying and another maid looked at the situation in front of her. She felt a little uncomfortable. In the past few days, Chongying would come to bed every morning and be called back to rest after the sun sets in the afternoon. But every day, she could see her wife's belly wider, and at the same time, the things under her belly could resonate with the ghost insects in Chongying's body.
At this moment, the lady's skin was pale, her lips were purple, except for her belly. The woman's limbs and head were very thin and looked a little aged. The woman was taking good care of her when she was not pregnant a few days ago. She seemed to be five years younger than her actual age, but now she looked like an old lady in her fifties.
The high-profile belly was filled with dozens of purple blood vessels, as if sucking the nutrients of the whole body. The woman's lower amniotic fluid seemed to have been broken, but there was no expression on her face. In the eye holes with extremely deep eyes, the eyeball seemed to no longer turn, just staring at the ceiling, like a dead object.
And Cymbidium didn't have any help in life, so she had to use a hot towel to compress her weird belly with the maid named Su Yu.
"Ah!" Su Yu suddenly screamed when he wrung the towel and put it on his high bulge. He took two steps back.
"Just...just, I saw a human face printed under my belly and was smiling at me."
Zhunying naturally felt that the stomach was full of resentment, but her strength was only close to an intermediate ghost.
"Doctor Han is here!" At this moment, the voice of the servant outside the door came, and Cang Ying hurriedly went forward to open the door. The old Mr. Han, who had excellent medical skills, walked in with a serious expression. When he saw the woman lying on the bed, his brows were also frowned deeply.
Doctor Han first walked to the woman whose amniotic fluid had been broken, held his somewhat old right arm, and took the pulse carefully. Then the old man opened his eyes with a heavy expression, walked to Zuo Zhong and said solemnly:
"Head Zuo, more than ten days ago, when I came, my wife had just been pregnant for less than a month. As we all know, this pregnant woman was pregnant for nine months, and her mother's physical signs were extremely poor. Her pulse was as thin as a dead person. I was afraid that something was wrong with the things she cared in her belly."
The head of the Zuo family is actually a generation younger than Doctor Han, but he still said with a normal expression.
"Doctor Han, I'm going to make a decision on this child anyway. Just give it a birth. It doesn't matter if your wife's life is not guaranteed, but it's important to ensure the safety of this child."
Doctor Han had actually had contact with the head of the Zuo family several times in private. This seemingly weak and sloppy old man was a vicious person at heart. So in order not to get into trouble, he had to nod and asked Chongying and another maid to change a large basin of hot water and towels to officially start delivering his baby.
"This!" Usually, the head comes out first for giving birth to a child, but the fetus in the woman's belly actually gave birth to two feet first, and it was not blood, but black viscous. The woman's lower body was stretched to a point, but her facial expression did not change at all.
The moment the baby was finally taken out of his belly, the woman lying on the bed swallowed her last breath, and her fat body slowly shriveled, like a leaky balloon.
At the same time, Zhang Chen, who was cleaning the main entrance of the courtyard, frowned and looked at the room of the second floor of the house. A large amount of resentment continued to swarm towards it. Zhang Chen naturally recognized the resentment. The source was in the well in the backyard. Zhang Chen shook his head and continued to do the sweeping work in his hand.
"Head of the Zuo family, this child is unbearable. If he wants it, your Zuo family may cause great disaster. Although I am only proficient in medical skills, I also know a little about the metaphysics." Dr. Han said seriously.
"Is that child a man or a woman?" said the head of the Zuo family coldly.
"boy."
"That's good, Doctor Han, I don't care about your business here. I will naturally send someone to you later on when it comes to money. I don't like to say something for the second time. Doctor Han, please come back."
"Hey!" The old man stroked his sleeves, shook his head and left helplessly.
"Butler, please arrange a few people to bury the wife's body, and then ask someone to go to the street to invite a nurse back. Let the child live in the young grandma's room for the time being. These two maids will take care of them first."
The butler nodded and immediately winked at the Cangying and the others. He carried the baby to the west wing. At the same time, he also left the room and forgot to tell Zuo Zhong about Azhi who was burned to the wellhead of the backyard, leaving Zuo Zhong alone in the room.
The fireflies who helped wipe the baby's body in the west wing could feel that the baby who was just a low-level ghost before was injected with a lot of resentment, had been forcibly promoted to an intermediate ghost, and it was a relatively powerful one. I probably had a guess in my mind. I am afraid that all the Zuo family will die tonight without a burial place.
In the afternoon, the servant invited a plump nanny to the Zuo family. The nanny was also very excited. Just by inviting herself to come, she paid ten taels of silver first. Thinking that she would get a lot of rewards in the future, she was even more excited.
"You two will go out first. I want to stay alone in the room. If there is anything you need, I will call you." After the nurse called Zhunying and the others, she came to the bed alone, picked up the newborn baby who was swagging in the swaddling clothes, and shook it habitually.
"This baby looks so small. Why is it so heavy in his arms?" When the nurse was about to reach out to touch the baby's little head, the baby, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened his eyes, which scared the nurse and almost threw it on the ground.
"What's going on with this little guy? Maybe he's hungry." The nurse sat on the edge of the bed, untied her clothes, and prepared to feed the baby. When the seemingly tender little mouth was leaning against her, the nurse couldn't help but flare her whole body and her eyes became a little dispersed.
This afternoon and evening passed, and there was no movement in the west wing. During this period, a servant had entered and found nothing unusual, just the nurse was feeding her. After dinner, the head of the Zuo family also came in person, wanting to see what his son, who had been through hardships, saw a very healthy boy lying in the nurse's arms, and he didn't care much and went back to the room alone.
Night fell, and it was also the last night for the Zuo family.
Cymbidium and the maid named Su Yu were sleeping in the same room. When both of them were sleeping soundly, "Crack!" A series of strange sounds came, awakening Su Yu. The sound rang every five seconds, and it was particularly crisp, making Su Yu unable to fall asleep at all.
When I put on my shoes and walked out of my room, I found that the lights were still on in the west wing of the young lady next door. Unfortunately, the sound of "crack" came from it. Su Yu, who had a curiosity, slowly moved her body and headed towards the door of the west wing.
Just as I was about to knock on the door and landed my finger on the wooden door, the wooden door opened automatically. At the same time, a strong smell of blood floated out.
