Chapter 55: The Arrival of the Holy Child

December 24, 2019 at 20:06 p.m

It's been almost a month since the incident in Longfeng, and most of the buildings damaged in this battle are also in full swing to rebuild, and the shopping plaza is the most damaged, so the speed of reconstruction is relatively slow. The leaders of Zhonghai City carefully studied the video footage of the battle at that time, and everyone was shocked and confused, and finally because it was too unbelievable, they had to keep it highly confidential and keep it strictly secret to the outside world, and if anyone dared to leak the video of that night, they would be punished for the crime of leaking state secrets, and those videos that flowed out of the Internet disappeared overnight.

Today is Christmas Eve, Fang Fan took Yuehan, Zhang Ze took Wanli out to enjoy a four-person date, Yuerun and Xiaohu looked after the house. Although there are still building debris on the streets that have not had time to be cleared, they are no longer so out of place under the shaking of the holiday lights, and even add a little color. Yue Han walked in front of Fang Fan and Zhang Ze with Wanli's arm, and Zhang Ze said leisurely with his head resting his hands on his head.

"Ah, this is life, ordinary is true."

Fang Fan looked at him and quipped.

"You forgot about kneeling on the washboard last night?"

"That's the spice of life, it's indispensable."

Fang Fan suddenly gossiped.

"Why did you kneel on the washboard last night?"

"It's not because I'm secretly hiding some private money."

"Hey, you're not ordinary."

"What, it's Wanli's birthday soon, I don't have to prepare a gift or something. But she doesn't usually give me extra money, and every time it's earmarked, so I have to hide it secretly. ”

"Good man, kudos to you."

Zhang Ze smirked at Fang Fan.

"Old Fang, when is Yuehan's due date?"

"Late July next year, what's going on?"

"Then don't you think Yuehan's belly is a bit big and outrageous?"

"I found out a long time ago, but Yuehan said that she was pregnant with twins."

"Take her to the hospital."

"I said that, as soon as I said that I would go to the hospital, I lost my temper and refused to go."

Zhang Ze suddenly turned around and faced Fang Fan, patted Fang Fan on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile.

"Hey, the life of the father-to-be is not very happy."

"But I don't have to kneel on the washboard."

Zhang Ze's slightly proud expression just now suddenly froze, and it became more and more difficult to look at, Fang Fan laughed, Wanli and Yuehan heard Fang Fan laughing and turned around and asked.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, Zhang Ze was a little stimulated."

Wanli was just about to ask the reason, but suddenly Zhang Ze ran to Wanli's side and asked.

"Wanli, are you hungry? Craving something? ”

In order to avoid Zhang Ze's flattering flesh, Yue Han and Fang Fan took a few quick steps forward, trying to keep their distance from Zhang Ze. Suddenly, Yuehan stopped in front of a shop window, where a sparkling necklace was on display, and on the necklace was a baby jade pendant. This necklace has been here for a long time, and she will come to see it whenever Yuehan passes by, but she has always been reluctant to buy it because of the price. At this time, Yue Han was a little fascinated, and she didn't hear Fang Fan calling her.

"Wife, wife"

Fang Fan patted Yuehan lightly on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

"Do you like this very much? Let's go in and see. ”

"No, no, don't you think the baby on this pendant is talking?"

Yue Han's words surprised Fang Fan, he hurriedly stared at the pendant carefully, but it looked like a very ordinary baby, with closed eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing bursts of jewels under the illumination of the spotlights. Suddenly, Fang Fan took Yue Han's hand and walked into the jewelry store, and Yue Han followed Fang Fan in a panic.

"Miss, I want to see that necklace in the window."

"Which one are you talking about?"

"It's the one where Xiang Shen is a baby."

After a while, the sales lady brought the necklace, and the necklace lay quietly on the flannel on the tray, and Yuehan looked more attentive at this time.

"Sir, Miss, this is this year's limited edition new Wanroni, the Holy Child. Many people will give it to expectant mothers to get a good fortune. ”

"How much?"

"There is an event in the Christmas Eve club today, and the event price is 30,002."

Yuehan didn't listen to the words of the sales lady at all, she only felt that the baby pendant in front of her was whispering to her mother, she touched it lightly with her hand, and the baby pendant actually made a crisp laugh again. Suddenly, Yuehan whispered to the necklace.

"Mommy is taking you home."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the necklace and walked out of the store, Fang Fan and the sales lady were stupid, and hurriedly shouted in the back, but Yuehan didn't even look back. At this time, Zhang Ze and Wanli happened to rush to the door of the jewelry store, and Fang Fan hurriedly shouted.

"Zhang Ze, go chase Yuehan."

Zhang Ze hurriedly ran out, and Fang Fan also chased out after settling the account. I saw that Zhang Ze had already stopped Yuehan on the side of the road, and Yuehan held the necklace in his hand stupidly.

"Old Fang, what's wrong with Yuehan?"

"I don't know. I didn't say anything just now, picked up the necklace and walked out. ”

"I'll go, this trick is okay. In this way, you can't buy it without it. ”

Wanli slapped Zhang Ze on the back of the head, and the hit was called a crisp flute.

"Don't talk nonsense, Yue Han is not that kind of person, how strange you look at her."

Zhang Ze muttered quietly.

"No, it's not, it's not it, it's also light when you fight."

Fang Fan hugged Yuehan's shoulders and said.

"Let's go home first."

When the four of them returned home, Yuehan was still holding the necklace and muttering to herself. Fang Fan helped her to the sofa and sat down, the little fox who had always been very sticky to Yuehan didn't dare to approach Yuehan today, it turned into Wanli's arms, its little head poked out a little bit from the gap in its arm, looking at Yuehan on the sofa, its furry body trembling in Wanli's arms.

Yuerun stepped forward and grabbed her sister's hand, but Yuehan shook it off vigorously and yelled.

"Don't touch my kids."

Yue Han's appearance frightened Yue Run, Yue Run retreated to the corner with a frightened face, and Fang Fan hurriedly walked over and said.

"Wife, it's okay. No one dares to touch our children, and I am watching. ”

Yuehan gradually calmed down, holding the necklace in her left hand and protecting her right hand in front of her, like an animal guarding food. Zhang Ze pulled Fang Fan aside and asked.

"What's wrong with this?"

"I don't know, it must be that necklace that is weird."

"Did you hear her just say it was her baby?"

"I heard it, could it be a hallucination?"

"Probably not."

Suddenly, Wanli exclaimed.

"Yuehan, what's wrong with you, Yuehan."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked back and saw Yuehan fainting on the bed. Fang Fan immediately sent Yue Han to the hospital, and the necklace was still held by Yue Han in his hand. After several people arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that it was just due to overwork, so they fainted, and as long as they rested for a while, they would be fine. As soon as the doctor left the ward, Fang Fan chased him out.

"Doctor, how is the baby in my wife's womb?"

"The kid is fine."

"How many?"

"What?"

"Oh, I mean, how many babies did my wife have?"

"There's only one."

"But her belly is a little too big."

"How long has your wife been pregnant?"

"More than three months."

"What?"

"I just looked at the ultrasound, and this child is at least seven or eight months old."

"What?"

Fang Fan said in surprise. Suddenly, the doctor patted Fang Fan on the shoulder, Fang Fan looked at him and actually showed a loving expression, and the doctor continued.

"Be strong, lad. I've seen a lot of people who have the same experience as you, but don't have too much psychological burden, everyone will have a time when they make mistakes, the key is tolerance and generosity"

Fang Fan turned around and walked out of the doctor's office, he couldn't stand the doctor's nagging for a moment. Fang Fan walked into the ward quickly, and Yuehan was still in a coma. Fang Fan believed very much that Yuehan would never do anything to be sorry for himself, but now this fetus is too strange, inexplicably growing so much. Seven or eight months, is it to take the greenhouse buckle in advance? Yuehan gradually woke up, she slowly supported her body with her arms, Wanli helped her to lean on the pillow, Yuehan said tiredly.

"Why am I here?"

"Tell me more. You"

Zhang Ze was just about to tell the truth when he was glared back by Wanli's sharp eyes, and Wanli said softly.

"It's okay, Yuehan. You're just so tired, so you passed out, and we'll be able to go home when we're done hanging this bottle of glucose. ”

Yuehan suddenly found the necklace in her hand and said in surprise.

"Why is this here?"

Fang Fan said softly.

"Christmas presents, do you like them?"

"Thank you, husband, but this is too expensive, you should go and return it."

Fang Fan found that Yuehan was normal at this time, and he continued.

"Wife, if you like it, keep it, and don't return it."

"I like it, but every time I go to see it, I'm satisfied."

"Do you go there often?"

"Well, sometimes I go to see when I pass by there. You go and retreat, I'm angry if you don't go. ”

"Okay, I'll go. But now that they're closed, let's go back tomorrow. ”

"Okay then."

Zhang Ze and Wanli both stayed in the hospital to accompany Yuehan, and Fang Fan was alone in the corridor thinking about the connection. Yuehan's change was a little too fast, as if she had changed in an instant, could it be that the necklace was magical? Another point is what the doctor just said, the child is already seven or eight months old, but everything is obviously normal when the pregnancy is just pregnant, how can it grow so big in just a few months.

The more Fang Fan thought about it, the more headache he felt, and he fell asleep after a while. He had a dream, in which there was a man in a surgical gown, a thick mask and protective goggles, although it was only a few meters away, Fang Fan couldn't tell the man's appearance. The man tied Yue Han to the operating table, his dirty hands were wearing an even dirtier pair of gloves, he put these hands into Yue Han's body, Yue Han did not make any painful sound, but heard the sound of muscles being torn apart layer by layer, Fang Fan ran forward, but found that his legs were tightly locked to the wall behind him by iron chains, he reached forward and grabbed desperately, and his wrists were strangled by iron locks. Suddenly, the man lifted the glasses on the bridge of Fang Fan's nose and showed a smile that Fang Fan would never forget in his life.

An even more unimaginable picture appeared, only to see the man take out a baby from Yuehan's body, the baby was wrapped in a sticky substance, and a long umbilical cord was attached to the navel. After the man slapped the baby on the buttocks a few times, suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby around him. The man seemed to hate the cry that pierced his eardrums, he covered his ears with one hand, grabbed the baby's two legs with the other, and then slammed the baby on the wall, blood slowly flowed down the wall, Fang Fan was already stupid. At this time, the man turned his back to Fang Fan, slowly took off his surgical gown, took off his hat and goggles, and finally took off his mask, standing naked in the dim light. The moment the man slowly turned around, Fang Fan almost fainted, the naked man in front of him turned out to be himself, when Fang Fan was about to shout, he saw that the naked Fang Fan was shrinking little by little, shrinking, shrinking again, and finally shrinking to the size of a baby. After glancing at Fang Fan, he actually climbed onto the operating table, he smiled gloomily at the blood stains on the wall just now, and then crawled back into Yuehan's stomach. The wound on Yue Han's body healed immediately, and then she came to Fang Fan's side and smiled sweetly, as if nothing had happened.

Fang Fan shouted in fear, suddenly a pair of powerful big hands were shaking himself desperately, Fang Fan opened his eyes suddenly, it turned out that Zhang Ze was shaking himself.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Well, you yelled just now, no matter how much you were called, you didn't wake up."

"How's Yuehan?"

"She's fine, she was clamoring to eat fritters just now."

"Oh, you take care of her. I'll go to that jewelry store and have a look. Remember, none of you are allowed to leave the hospital until I come back. ”

Fang Fan's serious and serious appearance made Zhang Ze startled, and even felt a trace of fear. Zhang Ze said with a slight tremble.

"Okay, I got it. I will notify you when there is any situation. ”

Fang Fan turned around and left, recalling the dream just now as he walked, although that dream was not terrifying, it was deeply rooted in Fang Fan's mind like a plant. After walking a few blocks, Fang Fan came to the front of the jewelry store, he was carefully examining the necklace at the door while thinking about the reason for returning it, and suddenly he found something strange on the necklace.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

A woman's voice appeared behind Fang Fan, and when he looked back, it was the sales lady who sold him the necklace yesterday. Fang Fan looked her up and down without saying a word. The sales lady continued.

"I see you've been lingering in front of the store, so come out and ask, if there's anything you need, you might as well go in and have a look."

"You don't remember me?"

Fang Fan's words made the sales lady look dazed. So Fang Fan took out the necklace from last night and shook it in front of the sales lady, and the sales lady's eyes lit up and said.

"Oh, I remember, you're the gentleman who bought this necklace last night, what's the problem?"

Fang Fan didn't speak, turned around and walked into the jewelry store, and the sales lady followed him respectfully.

"I'm here to return the goods."

"This kind of limited edition, we are non-returnable."

"Even if there is a scar on this necklace, won't it go back?"

"Please show it to me."

Fang Fan handed the necklace to the sales lady. The strangeness that Fang Fan found on it just now was that there were some shallow claw marks on the white gold on the back of the jade baby pendant, but this scar was an old injury. If a new necklace has old wounds, who has brought this necklace?

"Sir, what we sell is new, and this scar on the necklace may have been scratched by yourself."

Fang Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so he showed her the documents.

"Do you have to tell you the truth if I take the appraisal report and tell you that the one on the necklace is an old injury and not a new one from last night?"

After the sales lady looked at Fang Fan's documents, her attitude still did not soften.

"It would be great if it could. We also have rules, please don't embarrass me. ”

"Okay."

Fang Fan took the necklace and turned around and went straight to the police station.

"Yang Yue, you can find someone to help me identify the scars on the necklace."

"Okay."

Yang Yue looked at Fang Fan's lack of energy and asked.

"Do you want to pour you a cup of coffee?"

"Okay, thanks."

Yang Yue sent the necklace to her colleague for identification, and then poured a cup of coffee for Fang Fan, and when she entered the door, she found that Fang Fan had fallen asleep, so she found a piece of clothing for him to put on his body. It was almost noon when a colleague sent an appraisal report.

"Fang Fan, Fang Fan."

Fang Fan stretched and looked at Yang Yue sleepily.

"The results are in?"

"It's out. The scar is indeed an old wound, and according to the degree of corrosion, it is at least a year old. ”

Fang Fan's hand sliding the phone screen suddenly stopped.

"I'll look something up later."

Fang Fan went online to find Wan Luoni's new necklace, and the holy boy was born. Wanroni is an internationally renowned jewelry seller, so it's not hard to find this necklace. The result surprised Fang Fan, the necklace of the Holy Child's Advent has only been less than 2 months from the date of sale, but this injury has been a year.

"Yang Yue, they're not mistaken, right?"

"No, I don't. What's wrong? ”

"This necklace is the latest limited edition that Wan Roni has just released, but how can this injury be a year ago."

"I know this necklace, and I feel weird too."

"What's strange?"

"When this necklace was released, I stayed in front of the computer and looked at it for a long time, but I was reluctant to buy it because it was too expensive. But once I saw a tutorial video on the Internet to identify the authenticity of this necklace. ”

"Necklace authenticity?"

"Yes, you also know that after many fashionable things come out, fakes will follow, and those unscrupulous merchants are all for profit."

"So you know how to tell the difference between the real and the fake?"

"You show it to me."

Yang Yue took gloves and looked at the necklace carefully, and looked at the chain alone for 20 minutes, and then began to look at the pendant carefully, about 1 hour or so, Yang Yue said.

"This necklace is a fake."

"Huh?"

Fang Fan took Yang Yue to the jewelry store, Yang Yue took the inspection report to the sales lady, and the sales lady's face became more and more ugly. Fang Fan said.

"This necklace of yours is not only old, but also fake."

The sales lady said with her eyes wide open.

"The old one, I admit it, but it's definitely not fake, and you're smashing our store's signboard by saying that."

Yang Yue took a step forward and said.

"Wanroni's Saint Boy Advent necklace is handmade in Finland. Don't look at it from abroad, but the handmade craftsman is a Chinese with senior experience and excellent craftsmanship. The original necklace consists of 35 pieces of platinum that are as thin as sand, but are engraved on the four pieces of platinum, 1, 3, 9, and 27. iti four letters, and translated into Chinese means mother. And "

"Alright, don't talk about it."

The sales lady gestured to Yang Yue to stop, and then said.

"I'll explain it all. In fact, the necklace was stolen some time ago, but a week later it was miraculously returned. When I sent it back, I found some scars on it, and I planned to deal with it at a low price, because this holy boy is too rare, and the people who come to me to buy jewelry are some old people who don't know anything, and there are very few people who have seen the real thing, so I have been putting it in the window with a fluke mentality. ”

Fang Fan said as he looked at the sales lady with his hands on his shoulders.

"So you know it's fake?"

The sales lady nodded shamefully, Fang Fan smiled contemptuously, and continued.

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"Because it's so weird."

"Weird?"

The sales lady pointed to the monitor in the store, and her face turned as pale as paper.
