Chapter 41: Infants
Ye Zi and her husband have been married for five years and have never had children, their bodies are normal, but Ye Zi's body is a little weak. Ye Zi was very anxious, because of this, her husband began to alienate her, and her mother-in-law was even more displeased with her, and she didn't have a good face day by day. The mother-in-law has been widowed for many years, and her husband is a fool, Ye Zi is particularly sad in this family, she thinks, if only she had a child, her mother-in-law will change her attitude towards her, and her husband will care for her again. She sought medical advice everywhere, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, but it was useless, so that the leaves reached the point of a demonic barrier, and she had to worship any god she saw in the future. On this day, the company organized an outing, they went to an unknown mountain to climb, Ye Zi has never been here, there is nothing special here, not even a temple, but the green trees and grass, the scenery is not bad. Ye Zi and her best friend Xiaowen moved forward hand in hand, they got together and had endless words, and gradually the two of them moved away from everyone, keeping a certain distance and climbing up with everyone. The mountain was not very high, and they soon reached the top of the mountain, and there was a pavilion on the top of the mountain, in which everyone rested, and the mountain was a little steep, and everyone was very tired from climbing, and they kept panting. After a short rest, everyone began to scatter and stroll on the top of the vast hill to enjoy the colorful flowers and plants. The leaves and small stripes walked along a winding path lined with dense thorny unknown plants, branches reaching higher than a man, tangled and intertwined above, forming a green canopy, and with the shade of the higher tree tops, the sun could not penetrate the sun, so that it was cool and dull, and the path was winding and winding, as if walking in a maze, they did not know where the path leads. They chatted with each other, their faces pleasant. Suddenly, Ye Zi sighed and said, "What should I do?" My stomach is not angry, but I am sad to death. ”
Xiaowen comforted her and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, I heard that the more anxious a woman is to have a child, the more she can't get it, it is better for you to be calm." ”
Ye Zi was still full of sadness, and said: "I think that if this continues, my marriage will not be saved, my husband is becoming more and more indifferent to me, and besides, he often comes home late lately, I guess there may be someone outside him." ”
Xiaowen said, "What can I do about this?" You still want to open a little, the one who should come will come. ”
Ye Zi lowered his eyes sadly, looked down at the tiptoe walking, and became depressed.
At the end of the path, there was a hazel weedy field in front of me, and there was no way forward.
"Let's go back." Xiaowen said.
Ye Zi nodded, and turned around and walked back with Xiao Wen, and just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a large stone, hidden in the long grass, not easy to find. She took a casual look and saw that the stone was a hewn human form.
Ye Zi pointed to the big stone and said to Xiao Wen, "What is that?" ”
Xiao Wen looked over and saw the stone man who only had an upper body and no arms, and she was suddenly a little scared, because the stone man's face was too hideous, although the carving was very rough, but its fierce big eyes, crooked open mouth were still quite realistic, and it was a very evil thing at a glance.
Xiaowen whispered, "Let's go, it's scary." ”
Ye Zi was not afraid, she said, "I don't know which way this is an immortal." After speaking, he stepped forward, bowed slightly, and bowed with his hands folded. Ye Zi's next sentence made Xiao Wen feel funny and out of place, only to hear Ye Zi say: "This fairy, bless me with a child"
When she returned the same way, she vaguely felt that someone was following them, and she looked back, but there were always plants protruding from the winding path, blocking her view, and she suddenly felt that this place that covered the sky and the sun was gloomy. She finally couldn't hold back her fear, grabbed the leaf's hand and ran, until the sun was shining outside, only to stop.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zi asked breathlessly.
"Something is following us." ”
Ye Zi was taken aback, looked back, and heard Xiao Wen say this, she also felt that the deep and dark path became weird.
The two hurried away in search of their colleagues.
After a tiring day, Ye Zi rested early when she got home, because she usually sat in the office and didn't exercise, this trek made her sore, especially her legs, which were numb, and she fell asleep immediately as soon as she touched her head on the pillow. Her husband's intimacy woke her up, and she tried her best to satisfy her husband despite the fatigue...... Husband is ...... tonight Ye Zi was surprised, puzzled, and very happy.
Since that outing, Ye Zi has not adjusted from fatigue, it has been more than a month, and she is still tired, she warned herself that she is not allowed to do too tiring exercise in the future. Her appetite is also not very good, these days she goes to the cafeteria to eat, she is particularly sensitive to the greasy smell, and she wants to vomit when she smells it. Seeing her like this, Xiaowen said in surprise, you shouldn't be pregnant, right? Ye Zi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and a sense of joy rose in her heart, how she wished it would be as Xiaowen said.
The next day, Ye Zi took a leave of absence and went to the hospital.
The test results came back and she was really pregnant. Ye Zi's heart was about to jump out with excitement, she didn't know how to get home, and the whole person was completely immersed in joy.
She planned to tell her mother-in-law and husband again at dinner to give them a surprise.
Coincidentally, today my husband came home after work and didn't go out to drink, and the three of them finally got together to eat together. When her husband and mother-in-law picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Zi first coughed deliberately to have a little suspense, and then solemnly announced that I was pregnant! The mother-in-law looked up in surprise and then became happy. The husband had a light attitude and said, yes? How long has it been? Seeing his calm appearance, Ye Zi was a little disappointed, and muttered, It's been more than forty days. The chopsticks in the husband's hand fluttered in the plates and bowls, and he said, "Let's quit."
In this way, Ye Zi resigned and carefully cared for this hard-won baby.
After the vomiting period, it is time to eat a lot and replenish nutrition. Since her announcement, her mother-in-law's attitude towards her has really improved a lot, she goes to the supermarket every day, buys her fish, meat and fruits, nags and nags, eats more, eats more, eats more, and the child grows well. Although she knew that her mother-in-law was for her belly, she was grateful.
On this day, my mother-in-law, as usual, bought a few catties of fresh pork and put it on the kitchen board, before she could refrigerate it to the refrigerator, Ye Zi came out of the bedroom, I don't know what happened, she smelled the fishy smell of pork from the bedroom, she wondered how her nose became so sensitive, it was incredible. She stood next to the board, staring at the piece of pork, the lean meat of the pork accounted for most of it, the red and bright were particularly attractive, the leaf suddenly wanted to eat it, the corners of her mouth drooled, she looked out, the mother-in-law had not come in yet, she suddenly grabbed the piece of blood-red meat, bit it hard, and then chewed it, it was so delicious, she closed her eyes in intoxication. At this time, the mother-in-law walked in, she looked at this scene in amazement, Ye Zi felt the figure of the mother-in-law behind her, hurriedly threw the meat back on the board, and wiped her mouth.
"Oops! Silly boy! You can't eat raw meat, you eat meat every day, how can you be hungry like this, I'll cook right away, cook right away, you quickly spit out the mouthful of raw meat in your mouth. The mother-in-law said that she was about to pull the leaf's mouth. However, Ye Zi had already swallowed the meat.
Ye Zi suddenly became obsessed with raw meat, and every time her mother-in-law bought pork back, she would secretly bite down on a piece and chew it intoxicated.
On this day, she, her husband, and her mother-in-law had dinner together, and Ye Zi swallowed the rice in a big gulp, and unceremoniously ate all the roast chicken and meat in the dish. The husband was a little upset and said, although you are pregnant and deserve special care, you should also be polite and leave a little for your mother. The leaves bowed their heads and remained silent. The mother-in-law didn't care, patted her son, and said, let her eat, I don't care, my eldest grandson needs a lot of nutrition to grow fat. The husband stared at Ye Zi's face and said, "I eat a mouth full of oil every day, why didn't I gain weight, but lost a little weight, Mom, do you see if she has lost weight?" My mother-in-law said, it must be my eldest grandson who can eat it, absorb all the nutrients of his mother, and he will definitely grow a strong young man in the future. The husband thought that what his mother said made sense, so he didn't say anything.
As the belly grows bigger, the words of the leaf become less and less, and it is as calm as a leaf. In addition to sleeping, she watches TV every day, and a few laps in the living room are considered exercises. Her husband once asked her, "What's wrong with you?" Ye Zi said, it's not much. The husband said, "Why are you unhappy every day?" Ye Zi said, I am not upset. She really wasn't upset. The husband nodded reassuringly. The husband came home more and more late, and he went on more and more business trips. However, Ye Zi no longer cared about him, nor did she have any suspicions, and she wandered around the house like a ghost every day.
Mother-in-law has had a cat for many years. My mother-in-law likes cats, and every day she takes the cat to a nearby park for a walk, and when the cat comes back, she sleeps on the sofa and looks lazy. The old cat has been staring at the leaf with a wary and hostile eye lately, and as soon as the leaf walks into the living room, it jumps up and jumps far away, glares at the leaf with its big yellow eyes, and then quickly burrows into another room, and never comes out again. Leaves ignore the cat, don't even look at it, and let the cat perform alone. However, on this day, Ye Zi watched and watched TV, and suddenly turned his gaze to the bedroom where the old cat fled in, and the old cat had been hiding in it for some time. I saw Ye Zi slowly stand up, quietly walked in, and closed the door. After a while, a cat's scream sounded inside. Then after a long while, Leaf came out, her mouth was covered with blood, and she walked to the washstand and rinsed the blood away.
The mother-in-law came back and couldn't find the old cat, so she asked Yezi, who said she didn't know. The mother-in-law searched all the places where the old cat could go, but found nothing.
Xiaowen came to visit the leaves and bought a lot of gifts. When she saw the leaf, she covered her mouth in surprise.
"Why are you so thin and have such a bad complexion!" Xiaowen said. At this time, Ye Ye's cheeks are deeply sunken and very haggard.
"yes, I think it's strange too, recently, I want to go to the hospital to check it out." Ye Zi said.
"The belly is so big, this child can really eat, and he robbed his mother of all her nutrition." Xiaowen said.
Ye Zi touched his stomach, nodded and said, yes, this kid is so ruthless, why is he so ruthless?
Xiaowen came after work, and after a while, her husband came home from work, and her mother-in-law also returned from grocery shopping. Her husband asked Xiaowen to eat here, and Xiaowen agreed.
Only her mother-in-law was talking at the dinner table, she chatted with Xiaowen, and the three sentences were inseparable from her grandson, and Xiaowen echoed with a smile. My husband bowed his head to eat, and he didn't say a word today, is it because Xiaowen is here and embarrassed? The husband is not a man who is silent in front of women, he has always been very good at flirting with women, and he is very popular with women, and there are many girls and children who pursue him before marriage, maybe...... Now there are too, right? Ye Zi said a few words at first, but soon closed her mouth as well, her eyes always tracing to Xiao Wen's fleshy breasts, and finally staring at them and not moving. Xiao Wen soon noticed Ye Zi's abnormal behavior, she was embarrassed and scared, and her husband also noticed, he and Xiao Wen exchanged glances, and their expressions became suspicious. Xiaowen put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said that he suddenly remembered that he had something to do, so he went back first. The husband immediately said, okay.
After Xiaowen left, the three of them continued to eat, but the husband still only lowered his head to eat, and choked halfway. And Ye Zi was already full, she tilted her head, her eyes were very longing, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly, as if she was intoxicated with a beautiful fantasy, what was she thinking? Slowly, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth. Neither the husband nor the mother-in-law found out.
The husband changed his old days of going out early and returning late, came home on time, and sometimes helped cook, looking like a family man.
On this day, Ye Zi was at home alone, her husband went on a business trip, this time it was a real business trip, and her mother-in-law and her partners went to the park to square dance. Ye Zi sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV, she sat straight on the sofa, her eyes staring at the TV set motionlessly, an American movie was playing on the TV, the mutated creature series, the mutated creature was rampaging everywhere, chasing and biting humans, and the screen was suddenly bloody. Ye Zi suddenly picked up the mobile phone beside her and dialed Xiao Wen's number, today is Sunday, she knows that Xiao Wen is at home, "Hey, Xiao Wen." Ye Zi said, "My mother-in-law went out to play, my husband went on a business trip, I'm so hungry now, but I'm not convenient to cook, come on." ”
Xiaowen agreed, and after a while, he rushed here. Leaf opened the door to let her in, then closed it slightly, leading the little pattern towards the kitchen.
From the kitchen came Xiaowen's screams and begging for mercy, "I'm sorry, spare me, I was wrong, I was confused for a while, I cut off contact with him." For the sake of us being best friends, go around me! ”
The leaves in the kitchen stared at the blood-red eyes, she didn't hear what Xiaowen was talking about, and now her eyes were full of flesh......
The small lines disappeared, and soon, the husband also disappeared, and the mother-in-law also disappeared.
Ye Zi was left alone in the house, on the day of childbirth, she didn't even go to the hospital, just lay on the floor, the child was born with a smile, he seemed to have a natural ability, just out of the mother's womb will walk and jump. He glanced at the leaves, broke out of the window, jumped up, and ran towards the unknown hill at great speed......
Leaf woke up from the pain of childbirth, and she looked at her home and her stomach with a questioning face, not understanding what was happening......
