Chapter 19 The Ghost is Coming
The two of them ate two bowls of beef noodles at a noodle shop on the street and then parted ways.
Lin Xiyue hurried home. She began to feel the pain in her chest again, which made her sigh at her mother's greatness.
It seems that once a woman gives birth, she is tied to the child, and she has to hurry back after just a while.
When I got home, I breastfed the two babies, played with them for a while, held one in each hand and coaxed them to sleep, and then I took a nap myself.
After all, she might be very busy tonight and she's not feeling well.
In the evening, Lin Zhenxing finally came back from outside with a large sack on his back.
Lin Xiyue had just gotten up when the two little babies woke up, drank their milk and played on their beds.
Lin Zhenxing came in excitedly carrying a sack.
"Xixi, I found everything you wanted."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was sunny outside today and he ran around everywhere, his face getting very red from the sun. He really looked like a domineering boss turned into a migrant worker.
"What are you going to do? You've made such a mess."
Mother Lin came over and saw that her husband was still covered in blood. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "What did you do to have blood on your body?"
The eldest and second brothers were also attracted by the commotion.
"It's not my blood, it's the black dog's blood."
"Why are you getting black dog blood? Are you going to exorcise evil spirits at home?"
Mother Lin opened the snakeskin bag and saw a mess of talisman paper, glutinous rice, and bottled black dog blood...
"Husband, why did you buy these? Didn't you say before that these were all feudal superstitions?"
Lin Zhenxing didn't know how to tell Mother Lin for a moment. After all, it was too weird and even he himself was half-believing and half-doubting.
He looked at Lin Xiyue for help.
"I bought it for a friend. Something happened at home and he asked us to help."
Lin Xiyue didn't plan to explain any more, she just moved all the things into the house and closed the door.
When it was time for dinner, Mother Lin knocked on the door and she came out of the house.
Mother Lin took the opportunity to open the door and looked inside the house. She saw a pile of yellow talismans on the table and a cinnabar pen next to it.
"Are the babies asleep?"
"He just finished feeding and fell asleep."
"Then come out and eat."
Dinner was simple. Mother Lin casually fried some vegetables and also specially fried a small plate of lean meat and placed it in front of Lin Xiyue.
"Xixi, you are still in confinement after childbirth, don't run around everywhere."
Mother Lin said as she put food into her bowl.
Obviously he didn't approve of her running out in the morning.
Lin Xiyue was touched by her mother's concern, but also felt helpless.
It’s not that she really wants to go out every day. After all, breastfeeding is a very troublesome thing.
But given their current situation, if she doesn't find a way out, will the family have to stay here forever and be forced into a desperate situation by creditors?
"Xixi has grown up and knows how to behave. You don't have to worry about her."
"As a father, you are very caring, but as a mother, I am very distressed. If a woman does not take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will suffer from lifelong illnesses."
Mother Lin glared at Lin Zhenxing with dissatisfaction.
"Mom, I know everything you said, but I have already promised someone about this matter. Once this matter is resolved, I will stay at home and recuperate after the baby is born."
As Lin Xiyue spoke, she quickly distributed the meat on the plate to everyone.
Everyone took good care of her as a new mother and only ate vegetables, wanting to save all the meat for her. How could she eat so much meat by herself?
After dinner, Lin Zhenxing went to wash the dishes as usual, but was stopped by Lin's mother.
"Look at Xixi, she's going out again. I'm worried at night, so you go with her."
Mother Lin noticed that her daughter packed a large bag of things after dinner, and it was obvious that she was going out. She knew she couldn't stop her, so she could only let Lin Zhenxing go with her.
Although the strength displayed by her daughter last time shocked everyone, she was a girl after all, her daughter, and she was worried about letting her go out alone so late.
These words hit the mark exactly what Lin Zhenxing was thinking.
He was just thinking about how to tell his wife to let him go out at night.
Mother Lin is timid. She can't say that she goes out at night to act as a guide for ghosts.
Not only would she be scared and cry, she would probably think she was mentally ill.
Lin Xiyue and Lin Zhenxing went out smoothly, came to the hospital's inpatient department, and successfully found the room where the contractor lived.
The injuries of several people were not serious and they were all admitted to the general ward.
The contractor's family was rich, so he lived in a single room, which was different from the four-person room shared by the others. At this moment, he was half lying on the bed, with his injured foot hanging high up, eating a banana and scrolling through the beauties on his mobile phone, grinning from time to time with a lewd expression on his face.
The surroundings were quiet, the bleak incense light shone on his face, and he suddenly felt a little cold.
The contractor used his intact hand to pull the quilt over himself and continued watching the video.
But the more he brushed, the more his hair stood on end.
It’s cold, really cold, too cold, it feels like entering a cold storage.
The contractor finally realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw a dark figure opposite him, reaching out his hand stiffly towards him.
The sound of bones rubbing against each other was very strange and harsh. The person in front of him approached slowly with heavy steps. On his pale face, his pupils were as black as ink and there was a big bloody hole at the corner of his mouth, but there was no blood. It was dark as if a hole had opened out of thin air.
"Ah! Ghost!"
The contractor screamed in horror and rolled off the bed, but one of his legs was still hanging on the bed. When he rolled down and was pulled, his broken leg suddenly felt excruciating pain.
He was sweating coldly from the pain, but he didn't care about anything else and just shrank into the corner of the wall.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here, help, there is a ghost!" He threw the banana peel in his hand, and the banana peel just happened to hang on the corpse's head, covering the corpse's eyes.
The contractor was stunned. Could ghosts have physical bodies?
Or is this someone pretending to be someone else to scare him?
The thought that the ghost in front of him might be a contractor in disguise made him feel much braver.
But the bloody hole on his face was so realistic that even though he knew he might be a human, he still found it extremely terrifying.
"Tell me! Who sent you to scare me? Do you know that scaring others can kill them?"
Seeing that the terrifying figure opposite him didn't say a word and was still dragging his feet towards him, the contractor became angry and picked up the cup next to him and smashed it.
There was a loud bang and the cup shattered.
The contractor was stunned. Is the human body so hard that it can even break a cup?
Moreover, the man stepped on the broken glass with his bare feet, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He just walked straight towards him.
The contractor's figure huddled in the corner shrank even more.
Is this person a human or a ghost? It’s so weird!
