The palace, which had just been lively because the ghost baby had been caught, fell silent again when a strange hissing sounded.

"What's the matter, hasn't the ghost baby been caught, why did it start screaming again. ”

The sound of discussion with a hint of fear began to sound in all corners of the palace.

In a clean room, Wang Dahai, who was taking care of his daughter, listened to the howl of the ghost baby in his ears, and his pupils shrank sharply.

"Steward Liu. He shouted out the door with some urgency.

After a while, with a "squeak" door, a slightly chubby middle-aged and elderly man stepped into the room.

"You're watching Miss here, I'll take someone to see what's going on, why that ghost baby is 'alive' again. ”

Without waiting for Steward Liu to speak, Wang Dahai hurriedly commanded, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Dahai took more than a dozen royal family members with weapons in hand and hurriedly stood outside the courtyard where Xu Ming lived.

Although Xu Ming was in the courtyard, with his unusual physique, he had already noticed the movement outside the courtyard.

At that moment, he opened his throat and shouted out.

"Master Wang, come in, it's not a big deal, it's just that Xu is experimenting with some things. ”

Standing outside the courtyard uncertainly, just as Wang Dahai was hesitating whether to risk rushing into the courtyard, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a calm voice coming from the courtyard.

"Let's go, you guys come in with me. ”

After shouting at the few family members closest to him, Wang Dahai took a deep breath, moved his footsteps, and stepped into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Xu Ming had already sat down at the table at this time, he pressed the howling ghost baby with one hand, and thought about something with his eyebrows.

Not far from him, Madoka was deaf and pulling a round little face, and her eyebrows were full of sadness.

"That little ghost's cry is so annoying that I can't even draw a talisman. ”

Thinking of the severe punishment given to him by Childe when he didn't complete the talisman drawing task last time, Madoka almost wanted to cry.

When Wang Dahai pushed open the courtyard door and saw the ghost baby who was screaming with his teeth and claws, and was grabbed by Xu Ming in his hand, a hanging heart completely fell.

"Young Master Xu, what are you doing?"

Walking quickly to Xu Ming's side, after glancing at the ghost baby with palpitations, Wang Dahai asked in a condensed voice.

"Xu wants to know if the ghost baby is an exception in Shuichuan County. ”

Xu Ming didn't hide anything, and directly said what he thought in his heart.

"Xu Gongzi, are you saying that there is more than one ghost baby in the county?"

Wang Dahai was shocked when he heard this.

"It's just possible. Xu Ming added with a flat face.

Hearing this news, Wang Dahai's heart tightened, if this was true, then the situation was really bad.

Although Wang Dahai didn't know what other harms this ghost baby could do besides making that weird cry, it didn't affect its deep fear of the ghost baby.

After all, since the third day of her pregnancy, his daughter has lost her autonomy and has become a walking corpse-like being.

Thinking of this, Wang Dahai hurriedly looked at Xu Mingdao.

"Xu Gongzi, I don't know how to judge whether there are other ghost babies in the county, if there is anything that needs help, just say it. ”

In this regard, Xu Ming was not polite.

"Master Wang, if there are really other ghost babies in Shuichuan County, then they must be related, and if Xu Mou is right, this connection is likely to be their cries. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ming glanced at the few family members who were standing on the side with their heads down.

"A few of you, call some more people, and run the entire county roughly around as fast as possible, and see if there is a cry similar to a ghost baby. ”

Wang Dahai stood aside, and when he saw that several family members did not move at all after listening to Xu Ming's words, he scolded loudly.

"Didn't you hear what Xu Gongzi said just now, why don't you hurry up and do what you are told. ”

With Wang Dahai opening his mouth, several family members immediately moved, and they stepped out of the courtyard together with swift steps.

Seeing a few family members leave, Xu Ming motioned for Wang Dahai to sit down next to him and wait with him.

........................

Most of the hour passed quickly, and while Wang Dahai was waiting anxiously, two of the few family members who had gone out before ran into the courtyard.

"Well, did you hear the voices of other ghost babies? ”

Ignoring the upright sweating and panting of the two family members in front of him, Wang Dahai was a little nervous and spoke for the first time.

"Tell my lord, in the area I was inspecting, I heard the cries of two ghost babies. ”

Jia Ding, who was standing on Wang Dahai's left, was the first to reply.

Immediately after, the family on the right side also opened his mouth.

"Tell the master, in my area, I heard three such voices. ”

After listening to the replies of the two, although Wang Dahai had already prepared, his heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom at this time.

Just in the area where the two of them ran, five howls of ghost babies were already heard, which showed that the number of ghost babies was much more than he imagined.

After that, other family members finished the area they were responsible for and rushed back to report to Wang Dahai.

After all the family members reported it, Wang Dahai made a count of the number of existing ghost babies.

There were a total of thirteen family members sent out this time, but the number of ghost babies found had exceeded thirty, reaching thirty-one.

Moreover, this has already been discovered, and those who have not been discovered, I don't know how many there are.

After all, it is impossible to run the entire county with manpower, and it is impossible to run the entire county in less than an hour in just one hour.

You must know that although Shuichuan County is not a large county, it has a permanent population of 100,000.

In such a big place, it is completely foolish to want to run in a short time.

In the courtyard, Wang Dahai, who had counted the number of ghost babies, and all the family members all looked at Xu Ming with burning eyes.

was stared at by everyone, but Xu Ming didn't say much, and after looking up at the still bright sky, he succinctly spit out a word.

"Wait!"

Just as Xu Ming was waiting for darkness in the courtyard, in a small simple courtyard in a remote area of Shuichuan County, an old man was standing at the door with a sad face.

Listening to the upsetting and irritating cries that kept coming from his ears, Li Laohan's heart could be described as a variety of grains at the moment.

Li Laohan's parents died when he was a child, and he finally married a wife in his early thirties, but he died due to dystocia when he gave birth to his daughter.

After that, Li Laohan, who finally raised his daughter to the age of marriage, encountered a strange thing more than ten days ago.

His daughter was inexplicably pregnant with a baby who would scream before she was born.

Because this incident was too weird, Li Laohan didn't dare to speak out.

More than ten days have passed like this, and the baby, who used to howl only at night, actually began to bark during the day today.

The appearance of this aunt made Li Laohan's heart become extremely nervous, coupled with the current situation of his daughter at this time, after repeated hesitation, Li Laohan finally decided to report to the official.

Although this will have a great impact on his daughter's reputation, and it is likely that he will not be able to marry in the future, he can't control so much now.

However, just as Li Laohan was about to go to the county government to report to the official, in the room, a young woman with a dead face was lying motionless on the bed.

Her belly was high and bulging, like a pregnant woman who was pregnant in October and was about to give birth.

"Whoa......

Suddenly, a tearing sound rang out in the somewhat dimly lit room.

Immediately after, a small, blue-black hand burst open the young woman's belly, piercing through the clothes that covered her body, and appeared in the air.
