Chapter 13: Human-like and inhuman
was really bored, Ye Qian found a book and came over to read it casually.
After a while, there were bursts of children's cries in the distance, from far and near. Then he actually came to the door, and at the same time a woman's voice sounded: "Is Uncle Ye at home?" ”
Liu Huixian opened the door, and standing outside the door was a woman holding a baby in her arms. The woman is about one meter six tall, with a very fair goose egg face, willow eyebrows and big eyes, although she is dressed plainly, she can be seen at a glance that she is a beautiful woman.
Seeing this, Ye Qian's eyes looked up and down on his father.
was swept by his son with such strange eyes, Ye Guocheng glared at him and said in a low voice: "What are you thinking about in your head all day?" After speaking, Lao Ye walked straight to the door and asked, "I'm Ye Guocheng, are you looking for me?" ”
The woman replied: "I am Chen Yan, the daughter-in-law of King Jinfei in the north of the village!" Just now, Mr. Yang called Jin Fei and said let me come to your house and wait. ”
"Oh! Then come in! Liu Huixian said, flashed and let Chen Yan enter the house and sit down in the living room.
Chen Yan was originally crying from the village with the child in her hand, but when she stood at the door just now, her crying stopped abruptly, as if she had been cut off out of thin air.
At this scene, Chen Yan was also caught off guard. As soon as he sat down, he immediately got up again and wondered, "Huh! Why don't you cry all of a sudden? ”
Liu Huixian asked, "It's not normal for children to not cry!" I heard that your child is also contaminated with something, what happened? ”
Ye Qian had never believed in these gods and ghosts before, but now he also had a little self-doubt. At this moment, when he heard that there was something strange about this child, he immediately listened quietly while pretending to read a book.
"Nothing. It's just crying all the time, it's been almost three days! I don't eat, I don't sleep, I walk with my arms, I use a shaker, no matter how much I coax me. I went to the county hospital the night before yesterday and only measured it. Body temperature, casually checked it and said it was okay and let us come back. There was really no trick, so Jin Fei's mother said to call Mr. Yang to take a look. Chen Yan said, holding the child and going out the door. Looking at it now, it's suddenly better again. ”
Liu Huixian saw that she was leaving, and said in her heart, if Mr. Yang came, wouldn't he have to pay for it all by himself. immediately shouted: "Maybe it's accident, you're here, and Mr. Yang is almost here, so it's better to wait." Let Mr. Yang take a look, maybe he can see what the doorway is. If you go back in a hurry, if you cry again, and then Mr. Yang will leave again, wouldn't it be even more useless. ”
Chen Yan thought about it and seemed reasonable. He immediately nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome, and sat down on the sofa again." ”
"Xiaoqian, don't sit still, go get some fruit snacks." Ye Guocheng instructed Ye Qian.
Ye Qian pursed his mouth, threw the book on the sofa, and got up straight. He walked past Chen Yan, and the kid suddenly let out a sneer. The laughter echoed throughout the living room, and all four people present were startled.
Chen Yan looked down at her child, there was no expression on her pink little face, her two black eyes stared at Ye Qian fixedly, her mouth opened, and she made a hehey sound from time to time. Listening to the voice, it seems to be a sneer, but looking at the child's expression, it doesn't look like he made it at all.
Ye Qian and this kid glanced at each other, and this guy kept his mouth open and didn't make too many movements.
When they heard the first sneer, everyone was shocked. But at the moment, there is no follow-up, and the hearts of several people are slowly letting go. Ye Qian shook his head and went to the snacks and fruits by himself.
As Ye Qian walked away, the child also became quiet, no longer making a sound, and there was no movement.
After a while, Ye Qian came back and placed the fruit bowl and snacks in front of Chen Yan. "Hehe...... hey" Another sneer came out of her arms, so frightened that her hands trembled, and she almost threw the child away.
"Baby, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yan lowered her head and asked her child.
Ye Guocheng and Liu Huixian glanced at each other and nodded tacitly. Ye Qian frowned, feeling that things were really a little weird. But it's less than one o'clock at noon, and the hot sun is hanging in the sky, doesn't it mean that ghosts are afraid of the sun? Could it be that those legends are all lies?
The child in his arms naturally couldn't speak, and everyone in the living room had a guess in their hearts. As Ye Qian sat down in the far corner of the sofa, the situation returned to normal again. Liu Huixian and Chen Yan began to talk about family life, from where they were from, how they met, to how old the child was, and finally even talked about introducing someone to Ye Qian.
Woman! Gossip is nature, and an infinite sigh rose in Ye Qian's heart.
The two women chatted, and after a while, they got a lot closer, and time flew by. In the blink of an eye, two o'clock was approaching, and at this time, a middle-aged man in a gray coat stood outside the door of Ye Qian's house.
"Is Ye Guocheng at home?"
Hearing this shout, Comrade Lao Ye hurriedly got up and opened the door and asked, "You are Mr. Yang?" ”
The person did not answer Ye Guocheng directly, but sniffed in the air, looked deeply at the old house opposite, and squatted on the floor to smell it, and then replied: "Yes, I am Yang Zhongyu." This place in your house is not clean! ”
"Come in!" Ye Guocheng hurriedly let this Mr. Yang into the living room, and then moved the fruit plate in front of Chen Yan to Mr. Yang's seat.
At this moment, Ye Qian finally took a full picture of this Mr. Yang, looking at the age of about fifty years old, his hair was a little gray, his body was thin, his face was long and his nose was broad, and the difference between the size and head of the nose was not obvious, as if he had a rectangular nose on his face. The bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose are as thick as the tip of the nose, and the distance between the eyes is very large, giving the impression of a horse's face as a whole. If you want to talk about this face, the only advantage may be the eyes. This person's eyes are dark and bright, giving people a sense of intimacy that can see through everything.
Mr. Yang looked at the faces of everyone in the living room one by one, and the first thing he saw was Chen Yan sitting on the sofa by the door. His eyes just swept over Chen Yan's face, and then fell on the child in Chen Yan's arms, and let out a cry of surprise. "Huh! How can this child be human? ”
After speaking, Mr. Yang directly touched the child's head with one hand, and at the moment when the palm of his hand was about to touch the child, the child struggled all of a sudden, as if he did not want to be touched by him, and then his facial features were distorted and twitched, his mouth was open, and the corners of his eyes were filled with mist, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't cry.
This scene made everyone stunned. Mr. Yang frowned and said, "Hold him tight, don't move!" As he spoke, he pressed one hand on the child's head.
The child was gently pressed by this, and his whole body struggled violently like a long snake before death. Chen Yan also knew that this was the critical time, and hugged the child with a pale face, although she was thin, no matter how the child struggled, she could not escape from her arms.
