Text Chapter 3: The Starry Sky Gallery in the Early Morning Noise
The winter of 2018 was not as cold as in previous years, and although the cold wind swept through the streets and alleys of Rongcheng, it did not make people feel that winter had arrived, especially in Rongcheng Women's and Children's Hospital.
"Ahh Well.. Yes! ”
In the delivery room, a pale-faced woman was moaning in pain on the delivery bed, her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and the sweat on her forehead was dripping down like a waterfall.
"Qiangqiang, why don't we disembowel? It's been seven or eight hours since it was born. A man in a blue medical apron and a blue plastic hat was clasping the woman's right hand with both hands and whispering.
"No... Disembowel.. A child born by caesarean section: The body is not as good as.. It is not as good as a child who is born naturally.. Healthy! The mother, named Qiang Qiang, tried to respond to her husband, her voice was weak, but it was stubborn.
"Hey!" Qiangqiang's husband sighed and didn't say anything more, just wiped the sweat from his face for Qiangqiang in distress.
The two have been married for almost five years and finally have a child of their own, but Qiangqiang's husband is not as happy as expected, especially after seeing Qiangqiang's body become weaker and weaker due to pregnancy.
Qiangqiang, who had been plagued by polycystic ovary syndrome, suddenly came back one day and said that she would no longer take medicine and diet because they were going to have a baby soon.
Although he had some doubts, he didn't say anything, in fact, after being together for so long, it doesn't matter if he has children or not, as long as the two have a good relationship.
But Qiang Qiang insisted on having a child, thinking that only in this way would their marriage be complete.
Two months after stopping the drug, Qiang Qiang was really pregnant.
The whole family was happy, especially their parents.
However, since Qiang Qiang became pregnant, her health has been getting worse and worse, and later he learned that Qiang Qiang, who has congenital heart disease, is not suitable for pregnancy at all.
I wanted to kill this child, but Qiang Qiang insisted, saying that this child must be left because it was her life.
I was scared for many months, and finally waited for Qiang Qiang to give birth, but the production process was not smooth, seeing Qiang Qiang so painful, he really regretted letting her get pregnant.
"Maternity, take a deep breath!" The midwife shouted from the side.
"Hahu.. "Qiang Qiang followed the rhythm of the midwifery, adjusting her breathing.
"Mother, if you push harder, the uterine opening has been completely opened!" The doctor shouted excitedly.
"Get out!" Qiang Qiang suddenly turned her head to her husband and said.
"What?" The husband was a little puzzled.
"Get out... You're here, you're going to get in my way. Qiang said weakly.
"Oh, good, come on!" Although he was a little puzzled, her husband reluctantly left the delivery room after cheering up Qiangqiang.
"The child is about to be born, why don't you let the child's father stay?" The midwife wondered.
Qiang Qiang showed a bitter smile and said, "He's here, I'm nervous." ”
This sentence is half true and half false.
The nervousness was real, but it wasn't because of the birth that she was nervous, but because she was afraid that her husband would see the process of her death.
Because, she is about to die, at the moment when the child is born.
"Wow..."
The child's cry resounded throughout the delivery room, with the power of new life, strong and powerful.
"Congratulations, it's a big fat boy!" The doctor picked up the baby boy, who was covered in blood, and said with a smile.
"The mother has suffered cardiac arrest, rescue quickly!"
Suddenly, another doctor shouted.
Before the baby boy was brought to Qiang's face, doctors and nurses began to give her first aid.
"You look so good, your eyes are like your father's, big and bright, your nose and mouth are like me, hehe..."
Just as the delivery room was in chaos, Qiangqiang's spirit left her body and floated in front of the baby boy.
"Giggles!" The baby boy seemed to be able to hear Qiang's voice and smiled at her.
"In the future, you have to listen to your father, you know?" Qiang Qiang said with red eyes.
The baby boy blinked, as if he was a little puzzled.
Just as Qiang Qiang was teasing her son, two men in black suits and black top hats suddenly appeared out of thin air next to her.
"You're here to take me away, aren't you?" Qiang turned her head to look at the two men.
"Well, please." One of the men nodded.
"Mom is gone, child, grow up healthy in the future!"
One last glance at her son, Qiang wiped away a handful of tears, and followed the two men in black through the wall to the corridor.
I heard her husband and parents crying, but Qiang Qiang didn't look back, because she couldn't turn back.
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to Hades, and I'll arrange a good family for Zeng Qiang."
Watching the three ghosts disappear into the corridor of the hospital, a swishing girl's voice suddenly came out of the corner of the corridor.
"Well, thank you." A cold, deep male voice replied.
"Remember what you promised me to draw a bathing picture for me and Hehe." The little girl's voice rang out again.
"Well, you bring him tomorrow, I'll be in the gallery tomorrow." The man's voice responded.
"Mmmm, remember to draw me sexy, and hehe, and draw some abs..."The little girl continued to chatter.
I saw a tall man walking out of the hospital with a doll in his arms.
This doll is not an ordinary doll, but the most popular kind of rubber-faced fluff rag doll in the 80s, however, this doll wears a bob wig on her head, a pink hellokitty baby jumpsuit, and a pair of matching cotton shoes on her feet.
It was this doll who spoke, she leaned on the man's arms, kept carefully squirming her lips, and continued to babble in a voice that only a man could hear, and the man was also very patient, although he didn't talk much, he would still cooperate with the doll and answer her various questions.
Slowly, the two of them disappeared into the darkness......
Qin Qi made a special trip to see Zeng Qiang, that is, Ms. Zeng who had the fifth type of transaction with him at the beginning.
This is a life-for-life death deal, so Qin Qi asked Xixi (the character in "Monster Hunting is Better Than Falling in Love"), that is, the doll, to let her have a relationship with Hades and find a good family for Zeng Qiang's next life.
Although in front of Corot, Qin Li always said that once the fifth transaction was completed, he would not care about the rest of the matter.
But whenever he made a death deal, he would still visit him when the other party died, and accompany him on his last journey.
Of course, he would never tell Corot about this, after all, he Boss Qin still wanted to save face.
——Back to the spring of 2018——
"Ouch, it's early in the morning!"
Just as Qin Bai was thinking back to the death transactions he had made, the wall clock behind him suddenly rang the time.
He looked back and saw that the time on the owl wall clock was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning.
He didn't expect to sit here for so long, he looked up at the "Starry Sky" and found that the stars on it began to flicker, and the moon on the painting seemed to glow with golden soft light, illuminating the originally dim room.
After putting down the teacup, Qin Li glanced back at the wall clock, and always felt that the time signal sound it emitted was strange.
He bought the clock in Switzerland and could set it at a specified time to tell the time.
However, the wall clock had always been in English before, and after coming to Rongcheng, the language was changed to Chinese by Corot, and it is also the dialect of Rongcheng.
Therefore, Qin Li always felt that this voice was strange, just like foreigners speaking Chinese, not foreign or earthy.
Looking at the owl's serious appearance, Qin Li held his forehead and thought, so be it, maybe he will get used to it after a long time, just like when he first came to Rongcheng, he always felt that the Rongcheng dialect sounded weird.
After staying for many years, he got used to this dialect, and sometimes when the mood came, he would say a few words to Corot.
After tidying up the windbreaker and pants that were a little wrinkled because of sitting for a long time, Qin Qi walked out of this small room.
"The new environment, it's still a little uncomfortable!"
As soon as he walked out of the small door, Qin Li heard a somewhat charming female voice whining, but the accent was also weird.
"Smack!"
A shoe fell out of an oil painting called "Swing", and then the young woman swinging in the oil painting stepped down from the painting, and after stuffing the shoe onto her foot, she twisted her thin waist and walked towards Qin Li.
When she came, there was no woman in the "Swing" behind her, only the swing still swinging, and the swinger with his hand outstretched.
"Piye, oh no, Boss Qin, look at me, I always remember your previous name. It's a big place, but when the place is big, it always feels a little empty. The woman straightened the folded hem of her skirt and grumbled.
"Rococo, the other side is the Conservatory, you can go shopping with Greet in a while and get acquainted with the new environment." Qin Li helped the woman take off the straw hat that was worn diagonally on her head and threw it casually on the sofa facing the wall.
"Yes, what about Greet?" Rococo looked around.
"I'm here!" A slender female voice comes out of an oil painting titled "Girl with a Pearl Earring".
"Honey, the more you speak Chinese, the better." Rococo walked up to the painting and led the girl out of the painting.
Carefully lifting her foot, she took Rococo's hand, stepped out of the frame, and stepped steadily and gracefully on the floor.
"You ask Juliet to go shopping with you, I still have to do cleaning, I'm in a hurry, and there are still a lot of places that haven't been taken care of!" Greet said.
"She's not going to accompany me, she's going to have a bang with Romeo!" Rococo turned his head to look at the painting titled Romeo and Juliet, and pouted and complained.
Romeo and Juliet are kissing passionately in the painting, completely shielding out all movement around them.
"I'll go with you." A deep female voice suddenly sounded behind Rococo.
"Oh my god! I said, Sister Dora, don't stand behind me, okay? Weird and scary! As soon as Rococo turned around, he met Dora's geometric multicolored face.
"Ou! I'm sorry! Dora hurriedly stepped back, retreated into the shadows, and began to sob.
"Oops! Sister Dora, why are you crying again, haven't you cried enough in the painting? Rococo pointed to the painting with only a background and no characters, called "The Crying Woman".
"Just take Sister Dora to go shopping, just put a mask and a hat on her." Greta hurriedly pulled Rococo and said.
Looking at Dora's pair of somewhat deformed ears, Rococo scolded in a low voice: "Picasso, this old bastard, is really mad to draw good people into geometric figures!" ”
After venting, Rococo changed his face, pulled Dora out of the shadows, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go shopping, remember to wear a mask and a hat!" ”
"Hey, girls, I'm going to the night market again!" A hoarse male voice came from a painting called "Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat".
The man in the painting, like Rococo, can stick himself out of the painting, but unfortunately, he can't step out of the canvas.
Qin Bai said that this was because he had not practiced enough, and he had only changed half of his essence.
"yes, I'll bring you something to eat when the time comes." After saying that, Rococo dragged Dora out to change clothes, and then went to the conservatory opposite.
Rococo likes to live near the university, and he used to live outside the Academy of Fine Arts, which is also very good.
Greette smiled and went out with her, but instead of going out with them, she went to clean up.
"Ahem, do you want to go to the room? I've got a room for both of you. Qin Li looked at Romeo and Juliet, interrupting their intimacy.
"Thank you, Boss Qin, dear Juliet, I must make you cry and beg for mercy tonight." Romeo stepped out of the frame first, and when he stood firm, he carefully helped Juliet out.
"Say what? I don't understand what you're saying! Juliet glanced at Qin Li and said with a red face.
"Hey, hey, hey! Boss Qin, which room is it? Romeo took Juliet in his arms and looked at Qin Li.
"The one with the door number written on Chola." Qin Bai said.
"Choro? Why isn't it called Roju? Romeo frowned, put his arms around Juliet and went out.
"Boss Qin, give me some iPad." The man in the painting titled "Self-Portrait in a Straw Hat" beckoned to Qin Li.
"Vincent, please wait!" Qin Li nodded at him, then turned around and walked towards the small door.
"Let me out! Let me out! ”
Suddenly, there was another commotion in the gallery, which had just quieted down, but the sound was coming from the next room.
"That little sissy is making a fuss again." Vincent pouted and said.
Qin Li quickly pushed open the small door, and after taking the iPad from the small room, he walked in front of Vincent and handed the iPad to him, "I'll go over and take a look." ”
After speaking, Qin Li walked out of the studio and walked towards the room next to him.
"Haven't you had enough of it?" Pushing open the door next to him, Qin Qi said coldly.
"Smack!"
Qin Li turned on the lamp in the room and looked at the oil painting titled "Lute Player" hanging on the opposite wall.
"Let go of me!" The man in the painting who looked like a girl, but whose voice was a boy, shouted at Qin Li, and twisted his body, trying to break free from the painting.
That painting seemed to be the same as the other paintings in the mural room, but Qin Li knew that Xiao Zan had set up an enchantment for this painting, and Minnity could not come out of it, so she could only toss in the painting (for Minnity's story, see chapters 373 to 383 of "It's Better to Fall in Love than Monster Hunting").
Qin Li half-leaned on the door frame, stroked his hair, and said lazily: "You continue to make trouble, I'll let Xixi come over tomorrow and talk to you about life." ”
Hearing Qin Qi's words, Minnity no longer made a fuss, but just hugged the qin in her arms tighter.
Thinking of Hee-hee's fierce little appearance, Minnity began to tremble.
Seeing that Minnity finally quieted down, Qin Li raised the corners of his mouth, and after turning off the lights, he exited the room and locked the door.
I saw that there was a sign hanging on the door, which said, "Under renovation, the paint has not dried."
