We found Zhou Qin in the obstetrics lounge.

There was only Zhou Qin in the lounge, with the curtains tightly drawn and the lights off.

I pulled open the curtains.

Upon seeing that the newcomers were me and Su Yang, Zhou Qin, who was curled up in the corner trembling, cried and choked out:

"Sun Tongtong, Lao Gu and Director Feng are dead. It's those children coming to claim lives, and the next one is me! Their deaths have nothing to do with me. At that time, Dr. Feng was the director, and she asked me to take the child to the back building. I had no choice!"

Zhou Qin cried and spoke at the same time, shaking like a sieve!

"Haha, then what about me, does it have nothing to do with me?"

A sharp child's voice rang out again, causing Su Yang and me to feel chills all over.

"Don't come, don't come!"

Seeing a small dark green dead infant climbing down from my back, starting to crawl along the ground, using hands and feet to climb towards himself, Zhou Qin was so scared that she curled up into a ball, waving her hands and closing her eyes, shouting towards this side.

I looked to the two Yinchai for help with my eyes.

Xie Fan and the others seemed to not have seen anything, one was crossing his arms and staying out of it, the other was playing a game by himself, cursing that Zhong Kui was a rookie.

"No, it's not my fault, it was Lao Gu's idea. He said only the body oil of a biological child could cure my illness, I'm still young, I don't want to die!"

As Zhou Qin cried and shouted, she desperately pulled at the scarf wrapped around her neck.

It wasn't until the moment the scarf was pulled apart that I saw that her neck was covered with red patches, some areas had already festered.

Those red patches, like small nail-sized butterflies, would spread to her face soon and devour her whole person!

"Lupus, it's lupus erythematosus!"

Su Yang sighed.

"Lao Gu said that only the body oil of a biological child could cure this disease. I believed his words and secretly got pregnant with you when I was having an affair with Director Cao. Later, I found out that it was useless. Lao Gu wanted to use this method to tie me to their thieves' ship, so that I wouldn't dare to easily reveal the bad things he and Director Feng had done. Wuuu~"

Zhou Qin's words almost shattered my world view. I opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The dark green little ghost still couldn't help but glance at his mother, not daring to look at himself, and for some time, he started backtracking, then, climbing along my calf, he climbed back up onto my back.

He leaned over and whispered in my ear, softly, hauntingly:

"You know now, this is how Zhou Xiaoyu died. Five months, still in her belly, she used a barbell to smash her belly, on a rainy day, she threw Zhou Xiaoyu into a black garbage bag, carried her to Lao Gu's place to refine oil!"

He said: "In my past life, I was called Zhou Xiaoyu, in this life, I don't even have a name yet!"

...

"Let's go, this chapter of grievances has ended!"

Xie Bi'an stopped his brush filled with Yin debt, and looked at me with his eyes full of redness.

At that moment, I suddenly no longer feared the little ghost clinging to my back.

I felt that compared to the little ghost who just wanted to figure out his origin, human hearts were even scarier!

I closed the curtain tightly for the trembling Zhou Qin, closed the door tightly, and walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department with Su Yang.

Just as we left the building, we heard a loud bang behind us.

"Quick, someone jumped off the building!!"

Someone shouted behind us.

I tightly closed my eyes, not turning back to look, I knew, it must be Zhou Qin!

Xie Bi'an shook his head, and Fan Wujue, holding a phone, smiled bitterly: "Hmph, the Jiang family surname is in trouble again!"

...

"Where are we going?"

After leaving the hospital gates, when I walked straight towards a taxi parked at the hospital entrance, the sudden turn of events scared Su Yang, who was pale and grabbed my hand.

I took out my phone from my pocket, opened the album, and found a photo to show Su Yang.

The photo was a shot I took of a pregnant woman's information, with the address of the fat pregnant woman from the countryside written on it.

When the fat pregnant woman's family took her and ran away from the hospital, Director Chen got angry, paid for the medical fees himself, and threw the information in front of a few duty nurses, telling them to find a way to get the medical fees back!

Su Yang understood my meaning, afraid of scaring the taxi driver, didn't ask any more questions, got into the car with me, and went to the Qinghe Village listed in the information!

...

At the entrance of Qinghe Village, the first person I saw was the fat pregnant woman.

At that moment, she had a piece of steamed bun in her mouth, standing barefoot in the icy stream, using a large wooden stick to beat clothes.

She had just given birth not long ago, yet her family disregarded her well-being, letting her wash clothes in the chilling river water.

You could clearly see that her lower body was already stained with faint red blood.

As a woman, out of sympathy, I ran up to her and pulled her out of the water: "Do you not want to live? Soaking in cold water during your confinement will leave you with a lasting illness!"

But the woman just smiled foolishly, even holding up the steamed bun, which was covered in saliva, to my face, asking me to eat.

"Where does your house? I'll walk you home!"

I held her hand tightly, she just smiled foolishly, even holding up the steamed bun, which was covered in saliva, to my face, asking me to eat.

"Where does your house? I'll walk you home!"

I held her hand tightly, she just smiled foolishly, even holding up the steamed bun, which was covered in saliva, to my face, asking me to eat.

"Where does your house? I'll walk you home!"

I pulled her from the water: "Do you not want to live? Soaking in cold water during your confinement will leave you with a lasting illness!"

But the woman just smiled foolishly, even holding up the steamed bun, which was covered in saliva, to my face, asking me to eat.

"Where does your house? I'll walk you home!"

I held her hand tightly, she just smiled foolishly and pointed towards the big locust tree in the village.

With the guidance of the woman, a few people walked to the house with a big locust tree in the yard, a yellow dog at the door barked first.

Hearing someone coming, the midwife's mother-in-law looked out from behind the mud wall, thinking that it was a visit to ask for money, she hurriedly ran out to lock the gate from the inside.

"I didn't give birth at your hospital, she gave birth, it's her debt, if you want money, take her away!"

Behind the wooden gate, the mother-in-law shouted outward, no matter how I explained, she wouldn't open the door.

At this point, I felt a cold air on my right side. When I looked down, I saw the little ghost crawling down from my body.

He slowly crawled towards the yellow dog that was barking madly, the barking of the yellow dog getting smaller and smaller.

Finally, after exchanging a glance with the little ghost, the yellow dog whimpered, bowed its head, and made way to a side, revealing a half-foot-square hole behind it.

The little ghost looked back at me, leaving a creepy smile, then using his hands and feet, dragging the bloody umbilical cord, he squeezed himself into the hole.

"Don't, don't come find me, blame yourself for not being able to reincarnate. I already have three grandsons, I want a granddaughter. A grown granddaughter means they won't be bachelors!"

Before long, there was a scream from the courtyard.

She cried and, as if possessed, opened the door as if she wanted to run out.

The moment the gate opened, the old woman collapsed on the ground.

In the doorway, a man held a shovel, wanting to push away the little ghost on the old woman's neck, but hesitated to go forward.

Behind him stood three ragged boys, ten years old, the youngest just learning to walk, all with dull eyes, obviously inherited from their mother.

"Come on, come on, I'll kill you, you devil!"

The man seemed crazy, shouting loudly toward the little ghost.

"Give him a name, what can you do?"

I finally couldn't stand it, stepped forward, and shouted loudly.

"Let's go, get on your way, still entangled with these heartless people?"

Having said that, I pushed the little ghost forward, his eyes full of tears, then to his mother's calling from a side, but the mother was frantic and refused to open her door.

"Get him a name and hurry up and reincarnate, what are you doing here with these heartless people?"

Said by now, Fan Wujue and Xie Fan exchanged a look, urging him to proceed quickly, the situation in front of him, he could no longer bear to watch.

"Well, come here and make a handprint!"

By the time he finished talking, Xie Fan had already taken out a small bone ink box from his pocket and asked Li Xiaobao to make a handprint on the document.

It was heart-wrenching to see little Xiaobao obediently making a handprint while still tightly holding onto that dirty piece of bread.

Li Xiaobao's green and black fingers were sticky with red ink, and just before pressing them on the document, he looked back at me.

I sensed that he seemed to have something to say to me, so I slowly walked up to him.

That was the first time I ever looked closely at Li Xiaobao, though his skin was dark and lacked color, I could see that he was a beautiful boy.

His long eyelashes, high nose, and pointed chin.

He tilted his head and smiled at me appreciatively.

But the last question he asked made me cry again.

He said, "Sister, so many people don't like me, should I not have come?"

I held back the tears in my eyes, crouched down slowly in front of him, and for the first time, I took his cold little hand in mine.

I leaned close to him, pressed my mouth to his ear, and whispered softly:

"Li Xiaobao, when you go down there, remember to drink a few more bowls of Meng Po soup, forget everything here!"

"Li Xiaobao, come to my place in the next life, I will definitely take good care of you!"
