She couldn't believe she'd just heard the baby call out "Mother." A newborn baby like that would scare anyone to death! And calling out "Mother"? That's an ancient way of addressing children.
“You heard right, we all heard it, but could it be the accent?” Xia Hua said.
"mother"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard another voice. Looking at the child lying on the bed, who looked like he was using all his strength, she thought, "Oh no, I didn't mishear this time. He called me 'Mother.' Could it be an ancient soul that has traveled through time and is calling you that?"
"They must know us. If they didn't, calling us that would make them look like monsters and get killed. But who could it be?"
Cheng Yumo said, "He's so young, it's hard for him to speak. Let's wait until he's older before asking. If I'm not mistaken, he should be one of Shuyi's sons from ancient times. But when I went there last time, they didn't say who had died."
It's strange, I wonder if the world will experience a chain reaction because of their arrival.
An Shuyi glanced at the child, but couldn't tell anything. "When I went back last time, no one died. It's been less than a year. Who would die so quickly?"
It's really worrying her to death. The child she carried for ten months still has memories of her, and she doesn't even know who he is. She should at least pretend to be a father and wait until he's a little older. This is so irrational; he doesn't seem like her son at all.
Xiao Yubai suddenly said, "Are you the eldest?" As soon as he finished speaking, the child burst into tears.
It would have been better if she hadn't cried, because her crying terrified the others.
“Why is she crying? Yu Bai, quickly comfort her. You too, didn’t I say to wait until she’s a little older before asking? And it was just two calls, maybe it was a homonym. Now look what’s happened, you’ve made the child cry,” Cheng Yu Mo said.
"If you are, then stop crying; if you are not, keep crying." These words were simple and clear, but surprisingly, the child really stopped crying.
An Shuyi leaned closer with a happy expression. "Is it you? Wenyi, if it is, smile. Oh my god, Huahua, did you see that? He really smiled."
After the initial joy, his mood turned somber. "Boss, you were perfectly fine when I came back. How come you're gone in such a short time? Why don't you guys hit me and I'll go check on you over there?"
Last time, I was injured, which caused my soul to leave my body. If I go to ancient times, I might be injured again and my soul will leave my body again, so I can go and see what happened and why the boss is gone.
He usually stayed in the village and didn't go anywhere else. Compared to him, she wasn't as surprised by the deaths of the other children, since they were doing more dangerous things.
The second son was slightly better off, as he led the villagers around selling goods. But the others were either leading troops into battle, serving as officials in the imperial court, or involved in drug trafficking, making them hundreds of times more dangerous than him.
Hearing her say that, Xia Hua said with dissatisfaction, "What are you thinking? We're not even sure if it's Wen Yi yet. We'll ask when he's older. You want to go to ancient times? You're dreaming. Last time we went there, if I hadn't brought you back, you would have been stuck there for the rest of your life."
"You better behave yourself and stop thinking about ancient times. Remember, you're back now. Whatever happens there has nothing to do with you. Yu Bai, keep an eye on her. If she dares to do anything stupid, tie her up."
Last time, when Shushu's soul left her body, she was terrified. This time, she even wanted to go over on her own initiative. She didn't know where she got the courage. It was just that she was too indulgent in the past, which made her so audacious.
Xiao Yubai also said, "Wife, don't think about ancient times. It's bad for your health if your soul leaves your body frequently. You've already been there twice. If you go again and don't come back, what am I supposed to do?"
“We’ve come all this way, so let’s not concern ourselves with things from the past. And this child, why can’t he say things when he’s a little older? He has to make everyone guess. If he weren’t my son, I would have sent him straight to an orphanage.”
Although it's still uncertain whose soul it is, the body is undoubtedly his and Shushu's biological son, carrying their bloodline.
"Don't scare him. Let's talk about it when he's older. I was just saying it casually, and you all criticized me like this. By the way, have you eaten? I'm so hungry," An Shuyi asked.
Several hours have passed since this morning, and I haven't eaten anything. Plus, childbirth is so tiring, and I feel so hungry.
“We haven’t eaten yet, let’s eat together. As for the baby, we’ll feed him later,” Xia Hua said.
"What would you like to eat?" She'd ask her husband to get some formula for the baby later. She had originally planned to breastfeed, but now that she was doing this, her husband definitely wouldn't be happy.
If it were a child, it would be understandable for her to say such things, since it's for the child's own good. But nowadays, a child's soul is clearly that of an adult, so this is impossible.
"I want something sour. How about a sauerkraut fish, braised pork ribs, braised chicken feet, stir-fried lettuce, and a serving of stewed mutton? These are the dishes they like. For the rest, just bring whatever you can eat."
She's been craving sour things lately, she can eat anything, even the sourest things. Of course, she can also eat spicy things, but not much, because Yu Mo doesn't allow it. Of course, she's also controlling herself quite well.
"No problem, honey. Set the small table down. I'll get yours first, then mine." Her husband had prepared her postpartum meals beforehand.
There are many dishes to choose from, so she can eat whatever she wants. It's not spicy either, and she's had it once. The taste is quite good.
Take out theirs before taking your own.
“I used to think this child was too well-behaved, never crying or making a fuss. I guessed that she didn’t cry because she was too surprised to see us,” Cheng Yumo said while eating.
He said that there are no newborn babies who don't cry or fuss, whose emotions and souls are those of adults. But that's good too, they're easy to raise, and they have decades of memories, making them absolute prodigies.
“If it really is Wen Yi, then it’s quite possible. After he died, he was suddenly moved to a place he wasn’t familiar with. But when he saw us, he wasn’t so scared anymore; instead, he was quite surprised,” Xia Hua said.
It seems that the mother and son are truly destined to be together. Their previous life wasn't enough, so in this life, they were reborn as Shushu's son.
Xiao Yubai didn't say anything because he was very annoyed. He originally thought it would be a daughter, but it turned out to be a son. That was bad enough, but the soul might even be that of a man in his fifties or sixties. Just thinking about it made him feel wronged.
Fortunately, this child is his and his wife's child. He just wants to know when Wenyi was reincarnated, and whether his son's soul was squeezed out at birth.
If that's the case, he doesn't consider him his own son. Whether he kills him or not depends on the outcome.
An Shuyi said, "He should be, otherwise he wouldn't have understood what I said and done it. Let's ask him again when he's a little older."
"This is a very important matter, so don't tell anyone else. We just need to know."
Even parents can't say that this is her child, that being able to be reborn into her womb means they are destined to be together, and that he/she deserves to be pampered.
