Chapter 17: The Writer's Story (3)

Xiao Shuai is somewhat fascinated by the strange and bizarre images in his dreams, where he can exile his mind, stretch his limbs, and turn them into anything he wants, controlling anyone's life form.

No one can resist this sense of surrender and control of power, especially when there is no need to bear any responsibility.

So, on the third night, he couldn't wait to fall asleep.

The rabbit-headed man soon appeared, and this time he jumped higher. This time it was really taller, the first time, he could only jump to Xiao Shuai's knees, and this time he had to jump over his head.

The entrance to the cave still emits a faint blue light, and this time, a red-eyed ghost bird appears in the picture.

It was standing in a tree outside a residential building, looking through a glass window at a couple inside.

They were sitting quietly eating together, neither of them speaking. The wife is a little bloated, and it looks like she is pregnant, and the husband is staring intently at the small screen of his mobile phone while picking up rice in his mouth, looking like a zombie who has lost his brain and only knows how to eat.

The two of them ate in silence, neither of them spoke, nor did they look at the person opposite, didn't they know that there was another person in this room? The atmosphere was eerily quiet, but no environment could be silent – the clattering of chopsticks, chewing, the ticking of the clock, the sound of running water in the kitchen...... These small sounds are like a cat's claw scratching the heart, and people can't ignore it.

You know that there is someone around you, and you can even hear his breathing and heartbeat, but he can never intersect with you like a transparent person. These people can even be husbands and wives, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, brothers, sisters.

"This time, if it's still a girl...... "The husband finished eating, crossed Erlang's legs and picked his teeth, and still held the worn-out mobile phone in his hand.

The wife looked up in horror.

"Just give it away, someone just wants it, and you can sell it for money."

"Sell...... Sell to whom? ”

"Why do you care so much! Sell who is not selling! ”

"I can feel it, it's a boy this time......"

The husband finally glanced at his wife sitting next to him, but he looked at her stomach: "That's the best!" ”

In a blink of an eye, it was time to give birth.

The red-eyed ghost bird was still watching outside the window, and the scene inside the window had changed, but it was obviously not a hospital. The room was dimly lit, and the only source of light was the Buddha shrine with the statue of Guanyin on the side. A row of red candles that were clearly extinguished stretched from the desk to the ground, mottled with tears, accumulating layers like a red waterfall.

The wife clutched at the sheets and howled, writhing in pain on the bed, her belly bulging high like a balloon made of human skin. Every time the human ball wriggled, the woman screamed.

At this moment, a hand with thick joints and wrinkled bones appeared. The hand pressed against the woman's belly, as if to inject some kind of strength into the child in the belly.

"Go away! This is not the place for you! I don't care about you! ”

"It's all you!"

The old woman's hoarse and angry voice was mixed with the woman's wail, which seemed even more terrifying and weird, she was an old witch who had been invited to give birth.

"Bear with me, bear with me! It's not time yet! She commanded in an unquestioning tone.

"No more...... No more...... He's coming out...... I can't stand it......"

"Did you know that it's full of female imps! Do you still want a son? ”

The woman's expression was distorted: "...... I want to"

"If you want to, just put up with it for me, I can't bear this bit of hardship, what kind of mother are you going to be!"

"Woo ......"

"It's a female ghost again! Why are there so many female imps! Get out! There's no place for you! ”

"Help me! Help me! ”

"It's still a woman! This place is full of baby girl spirits who died before, and when they saw someone having a baby, they all ran over to occupy the position, if I hadn't guarded here, you wouldn't have a chance at all! ”

"Save ...... Destiny ......"

The shrine maiden looked at the frail woman without the slightest sympathy in her eyes: "It seems that your family is not blessed, and no boy is willing to be born in your house." ”

"Please......" said the woman as she took the shrine maiden's hand and mourned.

At this moment, the red-eyed ghost bird called out coldly-oh Ou!

This voice startled Xiao Shuai, who had been watching from the outside of the screen, and he suddenly withdrew his gaze, only to see that the bird seemed to have been activated, and the sound was faster than the other. Oh O!! Oh !!

It seemed to sense that someone was watching it, and it jumped deftly, turned around, and its red eyes shot straight at Xiao Shuai like a laser. With its chirping one after another, its mouth, which was as bright red as blood, opened and closed, which was poignant, and the hollow valley rang out, and the mourning was long gone.

Xiao Shuai palpitated for a while: "Don't scream, don't scream!" ”

Oh oh! Oh O!! Oh !! Hearing his wail, the ghost bird's voice only grew higher and faster.

"Don't scream! Don't scream! I'm telling you not to scream! Xiao Shuai's anger rose suddenly, and he reached out to catch the ghost bird. But he leaned forward, but his feet were empty, as if he had fallen into a lake.

"It's now! Hard! I've already caught a baby boy, and I've seen that he'll leave here to go to college in the future, maybe he'll still be a literary star! ”

The shrine maiden now looked even more anxious than the pregnant woman: "Force, I can only trap him for an hour, after this point you can only wait a little longer!" The next one may not be as good as this! ”

The woman who was already sweating profusely on the bed finally propped up her legs again, and cooperated with the password.

I don't know how long it took, but the child's whole head was finally revealed, and the rest went much smoother.

But when she held the baby in her hand, the witch's face changed, and the woman saw it, and her heart that had just been put down hung again, and she hurriedly asked, "Let me see...... Let me see my kids......"

But the shrine maiden ignored her plea and took the newborn baby out.

Although the woman had long since collapsed and was weak, she still tried to know what was happening, and listened to the movement outside the door with bated breath, but her heart was pounding uncontrollably, and she could not hear anything in her ears except the sound of her own heartbeat.

Finally the noise outside was getting louder and louder, as if there was a quarrel.

"Didn't you say that you can guarantee that the baby will be born?"

"I did see ......"

"Don't keep farting for me here, I'll give you a full 10,000 yuan!"

"Give you a refund...... Give you a ...... back."

"Just 3,000 yuan? You're calling Hanako! ”

"You have to spend money no matter where you have a baby, don't you."

"If you don't take out at least 8,000 yuan today, don't want to leave here!"

"You, you...... You are unreasonable, it is risky to ask God to descend from the spirit, I told you beforehand! ”

"When you ask for money, you say all the good things, and when things are messed up, you start to shirk responsibility, what? All the good things in this world have been done for you, right? ”

There was another push and shove.

"If you take this doll away, it will be regarded as two thousand yuan, and then six thousand will come out! Even if I lose 4,000 yuan out of thin air, it will be fine. ”

"You...... You're sick, aren't you...... I'm afraid of you, I'll give you another 2,000, and you should keep the child for yourself! ”

Xiao Shuai heard this quarrel clearly, both of them were loud voices, full of energy, magnificent, no one showed weakness to anyone, and could hear one voice higher than the other, one more rapid than the other, just like the call of the red-eyed ghost bird just now.

But now it was pitch black in front of him, his hands and feet were weak, and a sense of despair and fear of isolation surged up in his heart, and he wanted to open his mouth to scream, but he could only let out a small cry like a kitten.

"Am I a baby?" Xiao Shuai was shocked.

"Just now...... I got into the woman's belly and let her give birth to me......"

"This is ridiculous!" Xiao Shuai thought in his heart.

Why do you say the word "absurd" in your dreams? This is really strange, and logic is the most absurd thing in the absurd world.

"Oh O!" The red-eyed ghost bird outside the window chirped again.
