Chapter IV

"Having a baby on a big day?"

Peng Yao knew the situation inside when she heard the sound coming from the house, which was very unexpected.

Could it be that when the eighth lady of the Zou family came over, she already had a big belly?!

"It's weird." Peng Yao couldn't figure it out, muttered in a low voice, and suddenly found a few figures in the corner outside the room.

"Boy, it must be a boy, God willing, Bodhisattva blessing."

An old lady clasped her hands together, worshipping the heavens and the earth, listening to the situation in the house from time to time, and continuing to chant.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely let you hold your grandson this time."

The man next to him was the old man of the Zou family, and he comforted the old lady, who was his mother.

"I hope so! Give me another girl, even if I come to the world in vain in this life, my grandson will not be able to hold it. ”

The old lady of the Zou family glared at the old man of the Zou family, said a fierce word, and continued to pray.

"No, mother, this time I found a few more Taoist priests to completely dispel the ominous feng shui of our family, even the lady did the same, foolproof."

The old man of the Zou family began to swear, and said confidently, amusing the old lady of the Zou family, and the two whispered and began to plan for the future.

"Is it a man or a woman, not all people, and the Bodhisattva blesses, and the Bodhisattva is not blind, and he blesses you people?"

Peng Yao couldn't hear what they were talking about behind them, so she rolled her eyes at what they just said, and continued to stare at the house.

The process was very long, and Peng Yao waited quietly outside the stone gate for almost half a pillar of incense, but she couldn't hear a baby crying.

The longer it drags on, the more things are delayed, many guests have already sobered up, some have already gone back, and some have gone over to chat with the old man of the Zou family.

If this ghost suddenly appeared, it would not be easy to deal with at all, thinking that Peng Yao looked at the roof, but he didn't see Su Ru's figure, and it was over, Peng Yao was a little flustered.

"Wow... Wow..."

Peng Yao cautiously eavesdropped on the stone gate for half a night, and the cry of the baby alarmed the crowd, and Peng Yao also cast a surprised look.

Squeak~

Soon, the door was pushed open by the midwife, and she slowly walked out with a swaddling baby in her arms, looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes for a while, and looking at the people who were expecting outside, with a melancholy expression.

"Girl."

Peng Yao looked at the expression of the midwife through the gap in the crowd, frowned, and already knew the result in her heart.

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady,... Miss Xide. ”

The midwife pursed her lips and smiled stiffly, handed the swaddling clothes to the old lady, and whispered.

The midwife's words hit the hearts of the old man and the old lady of the Zou family like a thunderbolt, catching them off guard.

"Zou rate, Zou rate, my son... My son..."

Mrs. Zou looked at the crying baby in swaddling clothes, her expression seemed to be sad and joyful, and finally she angrily watched the old man of the Zou family shouting his name and slowly walked out of the crowd.

“… Yes... Congratulations to Zou Ye, and the princess has been added, okay, good. ”

"Yes, my daughter is good, it's my father's little padded jacket."

How much the Zou family wants to hold their grandson, everyone present already knows the roots.

Look at the current atmosphere, it is very solemn, and many people are moving their mouths to ease the atmosphere.

Although Zou Shuo smiled and toasted back, he didn't look sad, but he actually felt sad from his heart.

Regardless of the sadness or joy here, Peng Yao kept looking at Mrs. Zou who left the crowd.

She took the child in her arms and went to the garden just now, and she didn't know what to do, so Peng Yao followed.

"Where is she going?"

Peng Yao found that Mrs. Zou had walked into the bushes in the garden and opened a small door in the garden, from where she had gone out, and by the way she had picked up something from the side of the land.

This little door is really hidden enough, it is so obscured by the bushes that you can't necessarily tell that there is a door when you stare at it at night.

Look at Mrs. Zou's skillful opening technique, which is what it looks like to open this door often.

Mrs. Zou went out and closed the door at will, Peng Yao quietly blocked the crack in the door with her hand behind her, and followed Mrs. Zou's footsteps and went out.

After the door went out, there was a forest all the way to the west, and Mrs. Zou stopped there.

"Wow... Wow..."The forest was silent, and the child's crying was very loud.

"Evil animal, really evil animal, don't cry, cry what to cry, there is no milk for you to drink."

Mrs. Zou stared at the baby, staring, her face was hideous, and she said to her angrily.

Peng Yao followed not far away, listening to Mrs. Zou talking like this, and the string of flames in her stomach couldn't spit out.

“… What are you crying about, it's noisy! ”

Mrs. Zou looked at the baby girl, her mood became even more upset, and she threw the swaddling clothes to the ground with a shout.

"Nervous disorder?! … Treat babies like this?! ”

Seeing this scene, Peng Yao stood up directly in the distance, clenched his fists and wanted to rush over, thinking that Su Ru's words should not be impulsive, and squatted down to see the situation again.

"Crying... I see you crying, beast, and I see you shut your mouth. ”

Mrs. Zou was vicious, took out a piece of cloth from the pocket of her clothes, and stuffed it into the baby's mouth, and gradually, the baby's cry disappeared.

“… Hurry up and dig a hole and go back early. ”

The cold wind was blowing in the forest, and the silence was so panicked, Mrs. Zou was doing a "bad thing", and she felt cold behind her, so she quickly squatted down, lifted the swaddling clothes, took out a small hoe from it, and began to dig a hole next to it.

She's going to bury this baby alive?!

"Are you still human?!"

Peng Yao looked at Mrs. Zou's behavior, thinking that she knew what she was going to do, and then looked at the baby's swaddling clothes being lifted and exposed in the cold wind, she couldn't help but be angry, screamed, and walked to Mrs. Zou's side.

"Oops!"

Mrs. Zou was frightened by Peng Yao's sudden voice, sat down on the ground, and hurriedly looked for Peng Yao's figure.

I thought it was some kind of ghost punishing her and scared people to death.

"Who are you stalking me?" Mrs. Zou saw that Peng Yao was a little girl, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked Peng Yao in a bad tone.

"Don't care who I am, give me the baby!"

Peng Yao ignored Mrs. Zou, and with an angry breath, she stepped forward directly to snatch the child over.

"She has a curse on her, and I will bury her so that I can call my grandson and come to my arms!"

Mrs. Zou put down the small hoe in her hand, vigilantly hugged the baby over, and said to Peng Yao madly.

When Peng Yao saw the situation, she stopped her pace and stared nervously at Mrs. Zou's every move, for fear of provoking her and doing something.

"There is no curse at all, it's your son who is incompetent, why blame the child?"

Peng Yao patiently persuaded Mrs. Zou, hoping that she would find her way back.

"It's not, it's a curse! It's the dead daughter-in-law who cursed our whole family, and she made me unable to hold my grandson! ”

Mrs. Zou not only did not reflect on her mistakes, but even strayed into feudal thinking, and shifted all the responsibility to her daughter-in-law, Peng Yao had never met such a speechless person in her life.

"Give me the baby!" Peng Yao didn't want to persuade her, so she forced Mrs. Zou to be more conscious.

"Impossible, you little girl, I advise you not to meddle in your business, beware of being haunted by evil spirits, and being cursed for the rest of your life."

It was impossible for Mrs. Zou to give the baby to Peng Yao, she put down the baby, and continued to dig a hole as she spoke, just to bury the baby alive.

This kind of person, if he doesn't take some practical action, do you really think that he has no ability, Peng Yao thought, and tried to throw out the ribbon.

"Hey, Master Da Tangyuan is nearby."

Unsure whether the ribbon was within the scope of use, as soon as it was thrown out, the ribbon followed Peng Yao's gesture to bring the baby over.

Peng Yao was relieved that Su Ru was nearby.

"Give me... Give me! Mrs. Zou went crazy and ran towards the baby, but she was old and couldn't run fast.

"Wow wow..."

"I won't give it to you... Ah, don't cry, how to coax the child, oh my God... Don't cry, don't cry. ”

Peng Yao hugged the child and stepped back, distancing herself from Mrs. Zou.

Then listening to the baby's crying, Peng Yao was about to collapse, and she couldn't coax the child.

Do you want to slap your ass?

Do you want to shake her?

You don't have to breastfeed her, do you?!

Peng Yao had a headache, taking care of the child and Mrs. Zou, upset and helpless.

"Whatever, it's okay if it's not in my Zou family."

Mrs. Zou stopped suddenly, did not continue to chase Peng Yao's steps, figured out something, immediately ran away, and escaped directly.

“… Ran away?... What about the big rice balls, why haven't they come yet?"

patting the child, suddenly looking up, Peng Yao saw the figure of Mrs. Zou running away, catching up two steps and looking around, Su Ru had not yet arrived, and wanted to command the ribbon, but there was no hand, Peng Yao was very helpless.

Whew!

"Ahh

Something suddenly appeared in front of Mrs. Zou, startling her and screaming.

Peng Yao was frightened by Mrs. Zou's exclamation, and when her eyes gathered in front of Mrs. Zou, she saw a huge face appearing there!

The face, not the real face, is an ethereal face, not a human face, a grimace, and if you look closely, it seems to be a mask again, elusive.

“… Grandmother... You're finally here in person, I've been waiting for you so hard... Hey..."

The wind came from the forest, the branches and leaves swayed, adding to the sense of desolation and fear, and an ethereal female voice suddenly sounded from the forest, which was terrifying.

“… Amitabha, Amitabha, bless me, bless me. ”

Mrs. Zou was frightened, her eyes widened, her face was a little pale, she pretended to be calm, muttered, pretended not to see this mask, and went straight through.

“… Produce ghosts. ”

Peng Yao watched Mrs. Zou pass this illusory mask safely and soundly, and at the same time felt puzzled, she seemed to know who was coming.

"Grandma, the Buddha will not bless you, you have killed many, many people, and the Buddha will not bless the bad people."

The ethereal voice continued to come out, the voice was as young as a child, but the tone was more calm than that of an adult, and the contrast was great.

"I'm not a bad person, Amitabha, Amitabha."

Mrs. Zou was weak-hearted, suspecting that this mask was her own retribution, cold sweat flowed down her neck from her forehead, she denied what the voice said, and continued to walk forward, wanting to leave here quickly.

"How is it not... Let's take a look at the granddaughters, they... I miss you so much! ”

The immature voice continued to communicate with Mrs. Zou, and just as the voice fell, many masks with different appearances appeared at different locations in the dense forest at the same time!

When the mask is born, a female voice with a different timbre will be heard, and their voices are very immature, permeating the forest, thinking that they have entered a haunted house.

"Grandma... Grandmother... Come and see us... We're all back to see you..."
