Chapter 0085: Unrelenting
Yu Xinhe and I sat on the ground, both of us with fear in our eyes.
It was only when the ghost fetus made two cooing sounds and tried to get up from my arms that I reacted.
He reached out and hugged him, and said to Yu Xinhe: "Are you okay? Fu Qian appeared for so long just now, why didn't you come down?"
"Do you feel the cold and terrifying feeling from her?" Yu Xinhe propped himself up and stood up.
He said in a deep voice: "When you saw Fu Qian, did it feel like you were being stared at by countless poisonous snakes?"
"It was so breathless that I felt afraid even in my bones. So I lay on the beam, not daring to move. It was only when you called me that I woke up from the fear." Yu Xinhe seemed to feel uncomfortable whenever he recalled that feeling, and his face turned pale.
I shook my head at Yu Xinhe. When I saw Fu Qian, I didn't feel the fear as Liu Longting said.
Yu Xinhe obviously felt it, but he glanced at my lower abdomen, stood up and said, "I'll go find a basin, you take this..."
Her eyes flickered. "You can't keep calling me the ghost baby, right? Give me a name."
The ghost fetus was in the crook of my arm. It bared its teeth and growled at Yu Xinhe, then went back to playing with the Diyin stone.
When Qin Mipo came back, she picked a bunch of beans, but did not take the black robe.
Yu Xinhe and I were giving the ghost baby a bath with the door closed. Afraid that he would refuse, Yu Xinhe even found an apple for him to chew on.
He seemed to have never eaten since he was born, so he was very curious about food. His teeth were really scary. He opened his mouth and took a big bite. He seemed to like it very much, so he swallowed it with a crunch.
His body was originally covered in mud and after washing it was discovered that he had many wounds of varying sizes, and there was a burn mark on his back that looked like it was caused by talisman paper.
The marks on the neck and limbs have turned blue, especially the one on the neck, which is full of blood.
"I got hurt by He Ji's talisman paper last night." Qin Mi Po glanced at the wound on his back and said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, I have to use the elixir of Wentian Sect, otherwise it will fester."
We didn't dare wash him too hard, for fear that he would feel pain and bite us out of anxiety.
However, even if it hurt when the ghost bit the apple, he would just grit his teeth and look at me with grievance.
There were no children's clothes. After washing them once, I took a towel to wrap the baby. One basin of water could not wash it clean, so I had to change another basin. I didn't let Yu Xinhe touch it.
I had no choice but to hold him while Yu Xinhe resigned himself to changing the water.
I held the ghost baby in my arms and looked at the beans in Qin Mipo's hand: "Where's Fu Qian?"
When Fu Qian was mentioned, Yu Xinhe, who was pouring water, seemed to stagger, and a lot of dirty water in the basin overflowed.
"She ran away. But He Gu asked Niu Er to chase her together. She may not get away. Niu Er is not afraid of her. People in Huilong Village are not as afraid of her as we are." Qin Mipo pinched Doujiao's nails so hard that she actually broke her fingers.
It seems that she, like Yu Xinhe, also feels the same fear when seeing Fu Qian.
She rubbed her bleeding fingers, pulled a small stool, and continued to fold beans: "She hates her own children and the people of Huilong Village. But there is something about her that makes people instinctively afraid, which is many times more frightening than seeing a snake."
The baby was in my arms, giggling on an apple, and had no idea what we were talking about.
Qin Mi Po glanced at it and said, "I'll go buy a chicken and cook it for him directly, so that he won't be tempted by the smell of blood and eat it raw in the future."
Yu Xinhe was just coming over with water, looking at Qin Mipo and said, "How long are you going to keep this a secret? What's the reason for Fu Qian being like that?"
Qin Mipo just stared at Yu Xinhe: "Now that the clavicle blood snake in Long Ling's body has been lured out, when are you leaving?"
"You've seen Fu Qian, too, right? That feeling of fear was just a little bit of the scent of the snake coffin. The sixteen people last night were indeed killed by the things in the snake coffin. If you still stay here, I'm afraid even the snake wine won't be able to suppress it." Qin Mipo picked up a string bean.
He snapped the beans in half and looked at Yu Xinhe with a serious look: "Think it through yourself. "
Yu Xinhe pouted, exhaled, and said nothing.
After all, the ghost fetus was born not long ago. After taking a bath and finishing the apple, it leaned on my arms and fell asleep.
I put him on the bed and he woke up immediately, looking around with his teeth bared, and only felt better after hugging my arm. This was a sign of extreme insecurity.
"Just take off some clothes and let him hold you." Qin Mi Po stood by the door and said in a deep voice, "It will have your scent."
I thought about it and took off my clothes in front of Qin Mipo.
The ghost fetus held the clothes, looked at me with narrowed snake eyes, gurgled twice in his throat, and fell asleep again.
I turned around to find something to wear, but Qin Mipo's eyes fell on the scales on my collarbone and pointed at me: "Is the stuff in the snake coffin coming out?"
Following her gaze, I lowered my head to look at my collarbone, but due to my limited vision, I could only vaguely see the black and white patterns of the coffin snake.
After putting my clothes on, I walked out and looked in front of the mirror. Sure enough, I saw that the snake in the coffin lid seemed to be rushing out again.
When I saw the scales on Mo Xiu's collarbone last night, it seemed that there weren't so many of them.
Qin Mipo seemed to sigh softly and started coughing again.
I got her some water and said with a wry smile: "Go buy me a chicken."
Now we probably know that Qin Mipo's coughing is sometimes real and sometimes fake. When something happens, she may be able to hold it back, but sometimes when she gets excited or relaxes, she just keeps coughing.
Qin Mipo bought a chicken and stewed it before bringing it back with the pot, for she was afraid that the bloody smell from killing the chicken would scare the ghost fetus.
The ghost fetus is now ignorant and looks too scary, so we dare not let it go out. We just bring the chicken soup in.
When he smelled the meat, he woke up immediately, his stomach rumbling.
He couldn't always walk on all fours in the future, so I brought two bowls of chicken soup, sat at the table, took a sip, and then motioned for him to sit down.
The ghost fetus refused and rushed towards me directly. When I yelled at it, it immediately bared its teeth, showing a ferocious look, and stared at me with its snake eyes narrowed.
But after a while, he looked aggrieved again and stared at the chicken soup.
I simply reached out and held him to sit down. He didn't quite know how to sit at first, and he twisted left and right, trying to lie over with his hands on the table. I quickly handed him the bowl of chicken soup and motioned for him to drink from it.
When the ghost fetus smelled the chicken soup, its tongue curled outwards.
My goodness, I wasn't paying attention at all and he rolled the whole bowl over.
Fortunately, I was afraid of scalding him, so I only filled half a bowl. Otherwise, he would have been scalded if he had drank the whole bowl.
When the ghost put down the bowl, the whole bowl broke into pieces.
His tongue is very powerful, and it looks more like a lizard than a snake.
I spent the entire afternoon feeding him chicken soup and teaching him how to sit and hold the bowl.
After finishing a pot of
The ghost finally understood, held the bowl, drank in small sips, sat a little more steadily, and stopped sticking out his tongue.
After eating, I started to doze off again.
At first he held my arm and refused to let go. I took the clothes and stuffed it into his hands. He just cooed twice and then fell asleep with me holding him.
Seeing that he was asleep, Qin Mi Po dared to watch from the side: "Do you think he is scary?"
In fact, when he was asleep, he looked like a child of one or two years old. Apart from his teeth, only his eyes looked scary.
"How he was born is not something he can decide. Since you asked him to recognize you as his mother, it is up to you to decide what he will become in the future." Qin Mipo handed me the handkerchief.
Looking at my lower abdomen, he said, "You still have a long way to go. This child will probably make things even harder."
I wiped the ghost baby's mouth and touched my belly when I turned around.
Qin Mipo suggested that I take in the ghost baby as a plug-in. I guess she also wanted me to practice with the child.
At night, Guitai and I slept in the same bed, while Yu Xinhe still slept in Qin Mipo's room next door.
Maybe it was because there was someone beside me that I couldn't sleep well. And as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Fu Qian's pale body and his black hair that seemed to be flying towards me. It seemed that I would be buried by the hair if I was not careful, and I always felt inexplicably frightened in my heart.
I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling, and vaguely seemed to feel something coming out of the next room.
The figure seemed to be Yu Xinhe. I thought she might be leaving soon. Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I got up and went out to check.
What he saw instead was Yu Xinhe standing in the room where he had lured the ghost fetus during the day, with his head tilted in a strange posture, looking at the windowsill.
The summer moonlight flowed like water in the house. Yu Xinhe walked to the windowsill, stuck out his tongue, and slowly licked the windowsill with greed and fanaticism on his face.
It was as if there was something extremely delicious on the windowsill.
The more she licked, the more excited she became, even licking the table next to her.
This was so weird that I was so scared that I couldn't even breathe.
They couldn't defeat Yu Xinhe in a fight, so they could only call Qin Mipo and He Ji and others.
But just as I turned around, Yu Xinhe made two gurgling sounds in his throat and looked up at me.
Just as she looked up, her loose hair seemed to come alive, wrapping around her neck, tightening little by little.
But Yu Xinhe seemed to not feel anything and was still licking the table with his tongue out.
I saw the tightly bound hair, and then looked at the place where Yu Xinhe had licked it. It was exactly the place where Fu Qian's black hair had been entangled during the day.
Yu Xinhe was just licking the residue on Fu Qian’s wet black hair!
