Chapter Thirty-Five, The Dead Child
"Where's her husband? Not here? ”
Min Xing took the medical record handed back by Shen Yi.
"No, her husband seems to be very busy, and every time he sends people over and leaves, and picks them up when it's time for treatment."
Shen Yi moved over a chair. "I'll try!"
*
Pure white sheets, blue striped hospital gowns. The familiar smell of disinfectant water lingers on the tip of the nose.
The woman in the hospital bed is arguing fiercely.
"Xiuya, it's not easy for this child to conceive, why do you have to beat it!"
"Li Guanzheng, this child shouldn't have come in the first place, we can't raise a child in this state now. What's more, I have been taking birth control pills during this time, and even if this child is born, it may not be a healthy child. ”
"Are you going to kill him, then?"
"Yes! What should you do if you are born with a congenital disability and how to raise it? If you can't feed it, do you have to throw it away? Then it's better not to give birth to him now! ”
"Xiuya...... This is a life after all, even if he is really born with a disability, I will raise him! ”
"You raise him, what do you raise him? We're almost a problem to feed ourselves now! When the time comes, the child will be lifelong, I will have to resign and take care of the child, how can you support the family with your salary of three or four thousand a month? ”
"I ......"
While! While! While!
The nurse's face was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect to hear so many things at the door.
"Hello, the operating room is ready, are you sure you want to get rid of the baby? If it's decided, come with me! ”
"Ready, let's go!"
Jing Xiuya followed out directly, without giving the man a chance to refute.
The red light in the operating room turns on and off.
Jing Xiuya was pushed out lying on a stretcher.
Child...... Nope.
Jing Xiuya closed her eyes, and her ears were full of what the doctor said.
The child was more than four months old and could hear his heartbeat and see the basic outlines.
Are you really ...... Not going to ask for it?
When she opened her eyes again, Jing Xiuya had already returned home, a rental house of more than sixty square meters.
"Are the child's bones buried?"
"Buried, I chose a place with a particularly good view." Li Guanzheng replied as he lifted the woman up and avoided his gaze.
"The child is gone, don't think about it so much, I figured it out, if you don't keep him, it's actually for his good, and when our situation gets better after a while, we can ask for another one."
Jing Xiuya drank a bowl of porridge and fell asleep.
midnight
"Woo woo woo ......"
Jing Xiuya woke up slowly, reached out and turned on the lamp at the head of the bed.
The light of the nightlight is very weak and can only illuminate the area around the bed.
"Woo woo woo ......" Jing Xiuya listened carefully, as if a child was crying, and her voice was immature and intermittent, and it seemed to be very weak.
"Husband, wake up!"
Li Guanzheng was shaken awake by her and rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong, Xiuya?"
"Did you hear a child crying?"
"No?"
"But I heard it just now." Jing Xiuya listened carefully again, the voice was really gone, could it be that she was hallucinating?
"It may be that you are under too much pressure in your heart, it's okay, take a good rest."
The next day, Li Guanzheng went to work as usual, and Jing Xiuya called in sick and stayed at home alone.
On the table was the meal that Li Guanzheng had prepared in advance, and Jing Xiuya got out of bed, planning to heat it up in the microwave.
The plates in the microwave turn slowly and make a buzzing sound.
Jing Xiuya suddenly thought of the child's cry last night, and it was such a slight sound.
Li Guanzheng called and said that he was working overtime today and would not go home until late, so that Jing Xiuya could go to bed early alone.
Night.
Jing Xiuya woke up again, and she heard the child's cry again, this time the voice seemed clearer.
The sound was so close that it seemed to come from the living room, but she didn't care, rolled over and went back to sleep.
Thinking that I was probably really sad because of the loss of my child, I was too sad and hallucinated.
For several days, Jing Xiuya would wake up at night every day and hear the cry of her child.
The voice grew clearer and stronger, and it got closer and closer to the bedroom.
Finally......
One night in the second week.
Jing Xiuya woke up in the middle of the night, she was used to waking up at this time every day, and she was used to the crying in her ears.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Jing Xiuya rolled over and continued to sleep, but was surprised to find that her body couldn't move.
She wanted to wake up Li Guanzheng with her mouth open, but she couldn't make a sound.
Jing Xiuya's first reaction was that she had a nightmare, and there was a saying in their hometown called ghost pressing.
She opened her eyes and looked around, and there was nothing, no different than usual.
Only the child's crying continued in her ears, and the sound passed through the door panel into Jing Xiuya's ears, tormenting her nerves.
She felt her eyelids sink and sink and sink ......
When he felt that he was about to lose control of his body, Li Guanzheng next to him turned over and put his arm on Jing Xiuya's body.
She suddenly regained her body and sat up panting.
Lee was woken up by her movements.
"Nightmares again?"
"It's okay, it's supposed to be a nightmare." Jing Xiuya looked at the closed door and comforted herself.
The next day, Jing Xiuya had the same dream again.
The cry came from the door panel, and the body was uncontrollable and lay on the bed.
Jing Xiuya's eyes were glued to the door.
"Squeak"
The bedroom door was pushed open......
The crying outside the door was getting closer, and a fleshy little hand came out of the doorway.
Jing Xiuya looked at the children who were crawling in slowly outside the door, and tears welled up all of a sudden.
Child! Jing Xiuya shouted silently.
The child slowly crawled over, grabbed the sheets and climbed onto the bed, and moved to Jing Xiuya's body.
Everywhere he passed, he left one dark black handprint after another.
finally nested in Jing Xiuya's arms......
When she woke up the next day, Jing Xiuya told Li Guanzheng about the dream she had at night, and she dreamed that her child had returned, so she fell asleep in her arms.
She said that if the child had not been beaten, would he have relied on himself like that.
Li Guanzheng didn't say anything, after all, the children were gone, and it was useless to say anything.
Just told her not to think so much, the child will have it in the future.
Another week passed, and every day Jing Xiuya could dream of that child, watching her, growing up little by little.
At this time, Li Guanzheng realized that something was wrong, Jing Xiuya slept more and more every day, but the mental state of the whole person was getting worse and worse.
His hands and feet were cold, and his temper was even more irritable than before.
She talks to herself about the child every day, as long as she says one more thing about the child, the two of them will have a big fight.
Seeing Jing Xiuya getting haggard day by day, Li Guanzheng took a day off and accompanied Jing Xiuya to the hospital.
I didn't dare to directly say that I was taking her to check her body, she felt that she had no problem at all.
Li Guanzheng could only excuse himself by saying that he was going for a reexamination, but he didn't expect the result given by the hospital to be mentally weak, lack of sleep, and no major physical problems, but it was recommended to see a psychiatrist.
The two of them returned home, and he tried to persuade Jing Xiuya to go with him.
But when it comes to the child, she is like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail, showing its sharp claws, and attacking wildly.
In the end, Li Guanzheng could only persuade her to find a psychiatrist and see if she could talk to the child in her dreams.
Li Guanzheng persuaded for two days, Jing Xiuya finally agreed, and Li Guanzheng asked for the phone number of the Min Xing Psychological Research Institute and made an appointment.
After returning from the research institute, Jing Xiuya's situation did not ease, but became more and more serious.
At first, they only said they could see children at night, but now they say they can see children during the day.
Hold her "child" like a madman every day, without even eating or drinking.
Later, Li Guanzheng ran out twice for three days, bringing back some rune paper from time to time.

Shen Yi withdrew from Jing Xiuya's dream and shook his head.
"These two are weird enough!"
Min Xing and Huang Songzhuo walked out from behind the curtain. "It's over?"
"What does it smell like? You two don't wait for me to eat! ”
Huang Songzhuo smiled embarrassedly.
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon, I haven't eaten in the morning, I'm hungry. We've got you some food for, though. ”
Shen Yi looked at the clock next to him, it was really late.
"Alright, let me tell you about these two people."
“……”
After listening, Huang Songzhuo was very angry.
"Who are these two, is no money a reason to abandon the child? And it's only four months, how can you be sure if the child really has a deformity? What a disrespect for a child's life! ”
Min Xing shook his head.
In fact, what Jing Xiuya said is not entirely wrong, the birth of a child will indeed make their family worse. She also just wants to give her children a better living environment. ”
"Even so, they shouldn't deprive their children of their right to make their own choices."
"If the child is successfully born, he has no choice but to accept such a family ......"
Shen Yi looked at the two who were aggressive and-for-tat.
"Okay, stop arguing, people are awake."
On the treatment bed, Jing Xiuya slowly opened her eyes and looked into her arms for the first time.
"Kid! What about my children! The madman looked at the three people beside the bed, grabbed Shen Yi's coat, and shook it vigorously.
"What about my children, give me back my children!"
"You are all liars, and all of you want to kill my children."
"Kid! No one can take my child. ”
Shen Yi's innocent Jing Xiuya pulled it in his hand.
But Jing Xiuya's physical condition was not good, and she didn't have much strength, so Shen Yi dodged it with a light tug.
Huang Songzhuo was originally very ashamed of Jing Xiuya's actions, but now seeing her being so unreasonable, he immediately replied.
"Who killed your child, it is clear that you killed it yourself, you still dare not admit it!"
Jing Xiuya struggled to get out of bed. "You are talking nonsense, my child is not dead, you shut up!"
Why can't this kid speak so much, Shen Yi hurriedly played a round.
"Your child is not dead, it is not gone, it is in your house. Wait a little while your husband will come and take you back, and you will be able to see him. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. ”
Shen Yi helped the person back to sit on the bed. While giving Min Xing a look, he quickly took Huang Songzhuo out.
