Chapter 25: Twins
"This cat scared me to death!" Qi Lanxi was so shocked that his whole body trembled.
"It's okay, it's okay. Wen Qiyun behind him hugged his wife and slowly stroked her back.
Wen Xin looked at Qi Lanxi and then at Gou Rixin, and suddenly panicked in his heart. She put Gou Rixin back in her seat and comforted her, "Later, talk to Qiao Ming on the phone." ”
Gou Rixin heard what Wen Xin meant, and finally calmed down. It's just that the cat's eye peeked at the surrounding movements from time to time, and saw the unformed baby with blurred flesh and blood, lying on Qi Lanxi's stomach all the time, and seemed to be still breathing.
"Mom, didn't you go for a prenatal checkup a few days ago, how are you?" Wen Xin tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and asked pretending to be relaxed.
"It's good, both fetuses are developing normally. ”
"That's good. ”
"Beanie..."
"Huh?"
"What's wrong with you cat? Qi Lanxi asked in a calm tone.
"It's okay, it's okay, cat, it's all like that. Wen Xin hurriedly explained.
"It's cold these days, so let's move the cat kennel and dog kennel back home, just put it on the small balcony by the yard, and it's easy to get in and out. ”
"It's okay, Gou Rixin is still with me..."
"No," Qi Lanxi interrupted Wen Xin's words, and his tone suddenly became serious, "I'll move after eating." ”
"Oh. Wen Xin responded.
The atmosphere of breakfast was a little depressing, and when he was on the phone with Qiao Ming, Wen Xin didn't slow down.
"Wen Xin?" Qiao Ming on the other end shook his hand.
"Tell Qiao Ming quickly, what did you see, is it related to my mother? Wen Xin hugged Gou Rixin and approached the camera.
"Meow meow meow-"
"What did Gou Rixin say?" Wen Xin looked at Qiao Ming anxiously.
Qiao Ming on the other end of the video scratched her head, her face was entangled, why didn't it take half a month for her to understand what Gou Rixin said, "I didn't understand." ”
"What?" Wen Xin looked surprised, "Don't understand?"
"yes, I just heard meow meow, no different from a normal cat. Qiao Ming also looked puzzled.
"How could it be, could it be that Gou Rixin has degenerated into a cat?" Wen Xin stared at Gou Rixin's eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Gou Rixin's face in front of him was dull, like a lightning strike, is he going to turn into a cat? How is it possible, he has been reading and studying!
"Meow meow meow-"
Qiao Ming on the other side still couldn't understand half of the sentence, "Could it be the reason for the phone?"
"What should I do then?" Wen Xin held his head anxiously, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, "Today, Gou Rixin suddenly looked at my mother's stomach and screamed, he must have seen something, but I didn't understand his words." My heart has been tugging since the morning, and now you can't understand Gou Rixin's words, I... What should I do?"
"Wen Xin, don't worry, can you take your mother for a prenatal checkup first?" Qiao Ming hurriedly persuaded.
"I just did it a few days ago and said everything was fine. ”
"Do it again today, you should calm down first, don't panic, okay? As an elderly mother, you need to pay attention at all times, and it is always okay to take a few more tests. ”
Wen Xin listened to Qiao Ming's words, closed his eyes and forced himself to take a few deep breaths, "Okay, I'll take my mother for a prenatal checkup first, and then I'll talk about it when the results come out." ”
"Do you want to use me?" Qiao Ming asked.
"I'll call you again after the prenatal checkup. ”
"Hmm. ”
Gou Rixin beside him was unwilling to meow all the time, exaggerating his horror ten times, but Qiao Ming on the other side was still indifferent. His heart suddenly cooled, without Qiao Ming by his side, he was useless.
Wen Xin hurriedly called Qi Lanxi to make an appointment for a prenatal checkup, and the seriousness in his tone made Qi Lanxi's already irritable heart even more uneasy.
"Is it related to the black cat this morning?" Qi Lanxi asked uncertainly.
"Oh no, don't be suspicious, I'm just afraid that you'll be scared, you're an advanced maternal age, you have to pay attention to it at all times. Wen Xin casually lied.
"Okay, then I'll make an appointment with the hospital. ”
Hanging up the phone, Wen Xin breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the extended version of the charging cable, I gritted my teeth.
All day, she was scared and didn't dare to let herself be idle.
helped Wen Douer and Gou Rixin move, cleaned up the house, made a dark meal that Gou Rixin and Wen Douer couldn't avoid, and ran around the huge lake in the park for two full laps. Finally, when he was about to exhaust himself to death, he waited for Qi Lanxi and Wen Qiyun who got off work.
Wen Xin sat slumped on the sofa, Gou Rixin and Wen Dou'er nested in their nest, six pairs of eyes followed the two people in and out of the living room and kitchen, turning around.
"What's wrong today?" Qi Lanxi looked at the soft Wen Xin and sat next to him funny, "Conscience has been discovered?"
"Hmm. Wen Xin leaned on Qi Lanxi's shoulder and coquettishly.
Gou Rixin squinted his eyes slightly, suddenly stood up and walked out of the cat nest, and jumped onto Wen Xin. Qi Lanxi next to him sat with his back against the sofa, his visible belly slumped with his breathing, and there was still an unformed baby lying on it, already with limbs, but his facial features were very blurry, looking like a mass of bloody flesh. Gou Rixin looked at it carefully for a long time, and his whole body was creepy.
"This kitten," Qi Lan said curiously when she saw Gou Rixin staring at her belly, "I heard that animals can sense the child in a pregnant woman's belly. ”
"Hmm. ”
I saw Gou Rixin meowing softly, staring at Qi Lanxi's expression, carefully stretching out his paws and reaching out to the baby. Warm, soft, with a sticky wetness. The unformed baby seemed to be alive, but it had grown outside of its mother's womb.
Gou Rixin's heart was pounding, and he was about to withdraw his claws. The baby suddenly screamed, turned and pounced on his face, Gou Rixin meowed and fell to the ground, his face was covered with a mass of flesh, the smell of blood was in his nose, he hurriedly waved his paw and shook his head, trying to get the thing off his head.
The action shocked the family, thinking that Gou Rixin had gone crazy again. Only Wen Xin was frightened, and hurriedly protected Qi Lanxi behind him.
The baby was scratched a few times by Gou Rixin, and suddenly it was drenched in blood, and with a terrible scream, he hurriedly jumped away and ran in the direction of Qi Lanxi. Gou Rixin turned over, his red eyes and meowed angrily, and hurriedly chased after him. He jumped into the air and was about to pounce on the fleeing baby when a huge object suddenly flew in front of him, crushing Gou Rixin to the ground.
"Meow!"
"Wow!"
"Damn!" Gou Rixin changed color, watching the baby run away with his weak limbs, sensing that the pursuers behind him were no longer there, and suddenly turned around, the blood-drenched and blurred facial features actually sneered at him, and then climbed on Qi Lanxi's shoulders with his hands and feet.
"This... This cat and dog fight is really dangerous. Qi Lan stroked her chest happily and said with palpitations.
Wen Qiyun was a little unhappy, "If it's so noisy every day, just don't raise it." ”
Wen Dou'er found that Wen Qiyun's face was wrong, so she hurriedly got up, wagged her tail and leaned over to Wen Xin for comfort. Gou Rixin turned over and got up, staring at Wen Dou'er breathlessly, gritting his teeth angrily.
Stupid dog!
The family at the table was still happy, but Wen Xin observed Qi Lanxi's expression from time to time, while Gou Rixin stared at the baby with compassion.
After Qi Lanxi finished eating, she knocked on her shoulder unconsciously, "Why do you feel that your shoulders are suddenly a little heavy." ”
"Come, I'll give your queen mother a horse to kill chickens. Wen Xin hurriedly stood up and gave Qi Lanxi a back massage.
The baby roared at Gou Rixin, who was staring at him, and crawled back onto Qi Lanxi's belly.
"Hey," Qi Lanxi frowned suspiciously, and gently stroked his hand on his stomach.
"What the hell did you see?" Wen Xin took Gou Rixin to the bedroom and asked solemnly.
Gou Rixin looked at the notebook in front of him, hesitantly stretched out his paws, and typed a few words on it: dead baby, upper body.
Wen Xin stared at the words that appeared on the screen, closed his eyes violently, and covered his face with his hands. After a long time, he asked vaguely, "How many?"
Gou Rixin pressed "1" on the screen.
"He's not going to hurt my mother, he's the one who gave birth to him, after all. Wen Xin's nose was sour, and he asked uncertainly.
Gou Rixin didn't know, he just could see it. He knew nothing about where the unformed baby came from, why it appeared, and how it was driven away.
Aren't these things black and white? Where have they gone?
Wen Xin lay flat on the bed and looked at the roof, "I heard that if the unborn baby dies, the soul will always follow his mother." ”
"Meow~" Gou Rixin comforted.
"My parents always wanted to have a second child, but when I was a child, I was often sick, and they were busy taking care of me, so they missed out on the best age, and now they have an accident, and they are twins, they must be happy. ”
"Meow~"
"But no matter what, my mom must not be hurt in the slightest. Wen Xin turned up violently and looked at Gou Rixin, "You tell me, is there any way to put it..." He drove away. ”
Gou Rixin wrinkled his cat face and shook his head.
"Tomorrow after the prenatal check-up, I will go buy some incense and worship the god of wealth at home, and if there is any movement in that spirit, you can tell me. ”
"Meow~"
"Let's get rid of him together!"
"Meow~"
"But," Wen Xin hesitated a little, "but he is also my younger brother or sister." Wen Xin rubbed his face irritably, feeling dazed.
The results of the next day's prenatal examination made Wen Xin and Qi Lan very worried. Both fetuses are developing very well and can hear the fetal heartbeat, but one of the fetuses has a weak fetal heartbeat and signs of fetal arrest, so you should always pay attention to it.
Wen Xin looked at the images of the two fetuses on the case list, and pinched his fingertips into the palm of his hand.
"Anyway, it's the New Year, just a few more days at home," Qi Lan was happy to see Wen Xin's serious face, and comforted him with a relaxed face, "Don't worry." ”
Wen Xin bit her lip, water vapor suddenly gathered in her eyes, and the sadness in her heart was like a fish in her throat.
The two drove home, and Qi Lanxi went upstairs into the bedroom, saying that he wanted to rest. Wen Xin nodded and didn't say anything more. just took Gou Rixin out to buy incense candles with a determined face.
Wen Xin's family of three, Wen Qiyun only worships the God of Wealth, Qi Lanxi does not believe in the Buddha God, and now Qi Lanxi is old and pregnant, and she doesn't like miscellaneous tastes, and the incense of the God of Wealth has also been replaced by an everlasting lamp. Wen Xin couldn't rashly invite a Bodhisattva back, so with the truth that the God of Wealth is also a god, he was ready to try his ability to exorcise ghosts.
The faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the yard, and Wen Dou'er sneezed a few times and ran home wagging her tail. Wen Xin nodded at Gou Rixin, only to see Gou Rixin running to the second floor, and squatting at the door of Qi Lanxi's bedroom after a while.
Wen Xin returned to the living room, kowtowed to the God of Wealth three times, and inserted the burning incense into the incense burner.
Wen Dou'er couldn't help but sneeze, and ran out of the yard with a squeak.
The faint scent of sandalwood wafts into every corner of the building.
Wen Xin went up to the second floor and saw Gou Rixin who was motionless, and she was silently squatting at the door with her back against the wall.
"Are you afraid?"
"Meow~"
"I'm a little scared. ”
The silence around made the waiting people suffocating. Sometimes, Wen Xin doesn't like to live in such a big house, it's too lonely and too quiet.
There was a cough from the bedroom, Wen Xin hurriedly stood up, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
"Doudou, come in. ”
Wen Xin opened the door and saw Qi Lanxi sitting on the bed, with one hand half-covering her mouth, seemingly a little uncomfortable. She hurried over, leaving Gou Rixin in the doorway.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Lanxi frowned slightly and looked at Wen Xin, "What does it smell like on you?"
"The smell of incense, it's almost the New Year, we have to worship the Bodhisattvas from all sides, and bless our family with good wind and rain every year. Wen Xin replied with a smile, sitting down next to Qi Lanxi while observing the other party's expression.
"Didn't your father buy smokeless incense?" Qi Lanxi seemed to be unable to stand the smell and covered his nose lightly.
"I don't think it's enough to taste, so I changed it. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll change it tomorrow. Come, I'll make you a horse killer and relax. After Wen Xin finished speaking, he glanced at Gou Rixin at the door.
Gou Rixin narrowed his eyes and looked at the unformed baby who was still lying on Qi Lanxi's belly. The scent of sandalwood in the air became stronger and stronger, and the mass of flesh seemed to be unbearably smoked, swinging and shaking its limbs. When Wen Xin inadvertently approached, the mass of flesh and blood struggled to get up violently, and quickly fled to Qi Lanxi's feet, holding Qi Lanxi's ankle without moving.
"Meow-" Gou Rixin jumped on the bed and approached step by step.
When the baby heard the movement, he suddenly turned his head, and his bloody features roared at Gou Rixin hideously. Gou Rixin was afraid that Qi Lanxi would be disturbed again, so he didn't pounce or jump, and moved forward steadily, approaching the monster in front of him.
There was a high-pitched, piercing cry of a baby in my ears, and the mass of flesh trembled as if it was afraid. Gou Rixin was stunned for a moment, and his approaching footsteps suddenly stopped. In the moments when he was stunned, the baby swooped down and wrapped his head around his head.
Gou Rixin meowed, and the hair on his body stood on end, but he couldn't hold back the tremors around him, followed the route in his memory, rolled over and fell to the ground, and stumbled out of the bedroom.
"What's going on here?" Qi Lanxi wondered.
"I don't know, I might have heard something. Wen Xin looked at the disappearing black shadow and began to be absent-minded.
"Last time you pressed it for me, my shoulders were really much easier, and you helped me press my calves today, and I just felt a sudden numbness. ”
"Hmm. Wen Xin hesitated, bypassed the bed and gently closed the bedroom door.
Gou Rixin, who ran out of the bedroom, hit his head against the wall and was dizzy for a while. The baby also fell into the corner, and a cat and a ghost confronted each other in the hallway.
Gou Rixin was very bottomless in his heart, he had never fought. The thing in front of him is not a cat or a dog, he is resourceful and will take advantage of his weaknesses. He didn't even know what to do.
When the baby saw that he had not moved, he sneered and sneered, and suddenly ran up the wall to escape back to the bedroom. Gou Rixin jumped up and pounced on the baby, and the two sides rolled to the ground again, the baby's back was cut by sharp claws, and blood splashed on the wall, shocking, and a terrible roar suddenly resounded in his ears.
The baby struggled to his feet and immediately ran towards the stairs. Gou Rixin gasped roughly, but unhurriedly went downstairs along the bloodstains. The bones around his body were hit with pain, some of them were unsteady on their feet, and the bloodstained parts of their paws were cold and stinging.
There was a strong scent of sandalwood between the wings of the nose, and the monster seemed to be a little afraid of the smell. The bloodstains on the staircase steps stretched all the way to the first floor, and Gou Rixin watched around vigilantly, and when he stepped down the last step, the bloodstains disappeared around the corner.
