What the villagers in Xiaoer Village want most is to give birth to a boy.

The baby girl that Chu Xiuning mentioned was just a euphemism.

In fact, there were no babies in their bellies, only curses and negative energy.

The cold atmosphere in the meeting room dissipated and the villagers' expressions returned to normal.

Village Chief: "What kind of help?"

Chu Xiuning opened his mouth and asked for the fresh corpses directly. He smiled and said, "I need to extract samples from them for research so that I can prepare the medicine in a targeted manner."

The container has been selected, and it's time to plant the seeds.

The ancient village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Just then, everyone heard noise coming from downstairs in the hospital.

A hurried shout reached the conference room, "Oh no! Gu Dazhu, your wife has given birth!"

Gu Dazhu and others' faces changed drastically, and Jiang Ji saw that Chu Xiuning's face also became solemn.

The birth of the first baby is likely to be a key node in the story of the baby tower.

She thought to herself, it’s so fast, it’s only the third day... Is it that the infant spirit feels threatened?

I glanced at Gu Mazi's wife. She had become unusually quiet and numb since entering the hospital, with only her hand still on her stomach.

Jiang Ji remembered the buzzing sound in the woman's stomach just now.

The ashes and debris in the baby tower merged into one, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.

It heard it...they all heard it.

When Jiang Ji and the others arrived at the Gu family, they saw an obvious puddle of water outside the house.

As soon as Jiang Ji stepped in, he saw Gu Dazhu's wife, lying on the edge of the bed with her eyes wide open. The bloodstained quilt barely covered her lower body. The blood-red umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, with purple and black marks on it.

Only after confirming the death of Gu Dazhu's wife did Li Wei go up to check.

Even though he had seen many bloody injuries caused by strange things, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. The stomach was obviously forcibly broken open by the things inside, and it shrank very quickly, becoming as thin and soft as a cocoon, and most of it was eaten away to supplement nutrition.

A large jagged hole was bitten into the woman's belly.

There were no intestines or organs, all of which had been eaten away, and he was relying on the cursed bugs to maintain his human form.

Li Wei wanted to put her on the bed, but as soon as her hand touched her leg bone, there was a cracking sound.

The whole body is brittle, just like the burnt bone residue.

Li Bo and Wang Lichun checked the other rooms in Gu's house and ran into the house.

"Gu Dazhu and the others are gone, and the baby is gone too!"

Chu Xiuning said coldly: "They went to the Baby Tower."

If Gu Dazhu and others had thrown the baby off the tower, the curse that would completely cover the village on the seventh day would have arrived earlier.

The group ran towards the baby tower as fast as they could. Jiang Ji was treated specially as he was carried by Wang Lichun with one hand.

From afar, we could see the villagers standing under the tower, led by Village Chief Gu, Wang Da and others.

They looked up indifferently at Gu Dazhu who was walking up the slope with a basket in his hand.

Just like every time before.

The hoarse voice of the ancient village chief reached far away, covering every corner of the ghostland at this moment, "Men add children, women add mouths, do you want to add a child to carry on the family line, or add another mouth to pay for the dowry? It depends on how cruel you are!"

"It depends on how ruthless you are..."

"How cruel—"

The echo spread like waves into the distance.

They are scarecrows rooted under the baby tower, always guarding the idea of ​​passing on the family line.

The wind rustled through the rice fields, and the dry straw served as fuel for the baby towers.

The faint cries coming from the cradle were all ignored.

"What a bunch of shameless bastards!" Wang Lichun was so angry that she rushed forward.

But when it approached the slope, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Damn, it can't be changed?" Li Bo exclaimed.

Is this some kind of cutscene that they can't interfere with?

Jiang Ji noticed that when Wang Lichun was bounced back, Gu Dazhu on the slope paused slightly, showing a reaction.

She thought for a moment and said, "Only one person can go up this dirt slope at a time."

Gu Dazhu went up, and the others had to wait for him to come down before they could go up.

Seeing that the other party had already left, Chu Xiuning suddenly said, "Village Chief Gu, this child cannot be abandoned."

brush--

The surrounding villagers looked at them.

There was hatred and malice in the eyes of these people, as if their good deed had been ruined and they wanted to tear them into pieces.

Chu Xiuning remained calm as he looked at the village chief Gu who was standing in front of him with his hands folded on his crutches. "Village chief Gu, our hospital is here to help you with your treatment. We need you to trust and cooperate with our plan. This child is our best research subject."

Jiang Ji raised his voice: "Brother Dazhu, you are the only child in the family now. If you don't agree, your family will be extinct!"

The tone was harsh and contained a hint of nasty sarcasm.

These words successfully stopped Gu Dazhu and he looked down: "My wife is dead. Can she come back to life and give me a son?"

"We can sign a bet, a ghost contract." Chu Xiuning bit his wrist, his lower lip was bright red, and blood dripped into the soil under his feet. Jiang Ji saw something moving under the ground, "Within three days, if the Gu family has a child, you will be punished for violating the oath."

Three days later, a new baby was born.

This is simply unheard of.

The ancient village chief looked at them coldly: "Okay."

After the villagers dispersed, they looked down at the bamboo basket covered by the blue cloth.

The baby was crying just now, but I don’t know if it was because he realized it was safe, but he became unusually quiet.

Everyone knew that this was not a real baby, but they were still shocked by its appearance.

A fleshless, charred skeleton, casually wrapped in swaddling clothes.

His hands and mouth were wet, and he was still smacking his lips with satisfaction.

Ugly and weird, terrifying and hideous, with a very strong evil aura.

Not at all as cute as a normal baby.

The nutrition of Gu Dazhu's wife is just enough for it to be glued together from a pile of debris and black worms into a baby, so we really can't ask too much of it.

"Are we really going to take it back?" Li Bo's fingers were shaking. "What does this guy eat? It can't be us, right?"

Li Wei rolled her eyes. "We can't just leave it here, right? Wouldn't that mean all our efforts to build the ghost contract with Chu Yuan will be wasted?"

"Let me do it." Wang Lichun said, "Doctor Chu, please don't worry about the child. Business is more important."
