In the ward.
It was silent.
They could hear each other’s heartbeats.
The moment Li Jiafu saw the baby, his pupils shrank sharply, and he asked in horror, “How could this be?”
”Ah… what kind of monster is this?”
The young man was so scared that he screamed loudly, as if he had seen a ghost.
As for Bai Bing, she was relatively calmer, but her face was also a little pale at this time. She asked Ye Qiu, “Is this the ghost baby?”
”Yes.” Ye Qiu nodded.
This baby was a baby boy, only about twenty or thirty centimeters long and weighing no more than four catties. His whole body was black. as if he had rolled in coal.
Not only that, the baby’s face was purple and blue, and he had two fangs three centimeters long.
This was not the scariest part. The scariest part was that the baby had no eyes.
”Director Li, you have worked in the obstetrics department for so many years and delivered many babies. This kind of baby must be the first time you have seen, right?” Ye Qiu said.
“Yes.” Li Jiafu’s face was solemn and he said, “I’m afraid this baby…” is not easy to survive.”
”You are exactly wrong. The vitality of a ghost baby is very tenacious. Even, it is easier to raise than many babies who just weighed eight or nine catties at birth.”
”Really?”
Li Jiafu was a bit skeptical. He wanted to ask Ye Qiu a few more questions, but suddenly saw the parturient looking at him and immediately closed his mouth.
”D-Director Li, can you show me the baby?” The parturient said slowly.
Li Jiafu hesitated. He was afraid that the appearance of the baby would frighten the parturient, so he couldn’t help but look up at Ye Qiu and ask Ye Qiu’s opinion with his eyes.
”Show it to her. After all, she is the mother of the child and has the right to know what the child looks like.” Ye Qiu then told the parturient and said, “This baby is different from an ordinary child. You have to be prepared.”
”Hmm.” The parturient replied softly.
Li Jiafu wrapped the ghost baby with a sheet and then handed it to the parturient.
The parturient turned pale with fright after just one look.
About ten seconds later.
The parturient’s face returned to normal, and then she struggled to sit up on the bed, took the baby from Li Jiafu’s hand, and asked with tears, “Doctor, why does my child look like this?”
Ye Qiu didn’t hide anything and said, “This is a ghost baby.”
”Ghost baby?”
Both the parturient and her husband didn’t understand.
Ye Qiu then briefly described the formation of several kinds of ghost babies. After listening, both the parturient and her husband fell silent.
”Doctor, can this child be raised?” The parturient said, “After all, he is my flesh and blood.”
“I understand your feelings, but I suggest you’d better not raise it.” Ye Qiu said. “Ghost babies shouldn’t exist in this world in the first place.”
“In ancient times, once a ghost baby was born, people would look for a Taoist priest or an accomplished monk to end the life of the ghost baby. Ghost babies are born without eyes. Legend has it that once they survive, they will constantly look for good eyes, that is, they will do a lot of things that are against nature and reason.”
“In addition, ghost babies are born unlucky and will bring bad luck to their relatives and friends around them.”
The parturient’s face turned pale.
“So, this child can’t be raised?” the young man asked.
Ye Qiu replied, “My advice is not to raise it. As for whether to raise it or not in the end, it still has to be decided by you two as a couple.”
The parturient and her husband discussed for a long time.
Finally, they made up their minds.
“Doctor, my wife and I have discussed it. We don’t want to raise this child anymore. What should we do next?” the young man asked.
“If you are sure not to raise it, you need to fill out a statement of abandonment.”
Ye Qiu gave Li Jiafu a look, and the latter understood and took out a statement of abandonment for the parturient and the young man to sign.
“Doctor, I have a request.” The parturient pleaded. “Can we make sure that the child doesn’t suffer when he leaves?”
“Yes.”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he took action and quickly pointed a finger at the center of the ghost baby’s brow.
The ghost baby seemed to sense that someone was going to end its life. With a “hissing” sound, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit Ye Qiu’s hand with its fangs.
This sudden change frightened everyone.
”Be careful!” Bai Bing exclaimed.
However, Ye Qiu was even faster. He slapped the face of the ghost baby with a backhand and pressed his finger on the ghost baby’s forehead.
His finger was like a nail, holding the ghost baby firmly in place.
”Zi zi ——”
The ghost baby bared its teeth, its eyes shone with a fierce light, and its expression was ferocious, making people feel creepy.
Ye Qiu brings together the index and middle fingers of his left hand to form a sword finger. and then drew a talisman on the ghost baby, chanting words in his mouth.
Half a minute later.
The ghost baby stopped struggling.
The breathing stopped.
Officially announced dead!
”Wow…” The parturient cried loudly.
Although what was born was a monster, it was after all her own flesh and blood. Seeing the child die in front of her the parturient broke down.
”Director Li, please arrange to send this child to the morgue.”
”Okay.”
”Then I’ll go first.”
The matter had been resolved, and there was no need for Ye Qiu to stay here any longer. He turned and left.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the ward, Li Jiafu chased after him and shouted urgently, “Xiao Ye ——”
Ye Qiu turned around and asked in confusion, “Director Li, do you still have something to do?”
“Little Ye, I just want to say sorry to you.” Li Jiafu felt a little embarrassed and said, “I previously said you were engaging in feudal superstition. It was only when I saw the baby that I knew I had misunderstood you.”
“For this kind of thing, if one doesn’t see it with one’s own eyes, it’s very difficult for an ordinary person to believe.” Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Director Li, this is not your fault.”
“By the way, Little Ye, we did a comprehensive examination for the parturient and didn’t find that the parturient was carrying a ghost baby. How did you figure it out?”
This point, Li Jiafu couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he thought.
As everyone knows, pregnant women will go for prenatal check-ups every month, especially when they are on the verge of giving birth, they will do a comprehensive examination.
As for this parturient, because of abdominal pain, Li Jiafu and several experts examined her together.
However, they didn’t find that the parturient was carrying a ghost baby.
This is inherently unreasonable.
So, how did Ye Qiu figure it out?
Ye Qiu naturally wouldn’t tell Li Jiafu that he had opened his eyes and his eyes could see through things. He smiled and said, “I found out by taking the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine.”
“So that’s how it is.” Li Jiafu suddenly understood, and then said with a face full of admiration, “Some time ago, I always heard them say how superb your medical skills are, Little Ye. It was only when I saw it with my own eyes today that I knew that your medical skills are much higher than those of us experts. Little Ye, you are really amazing!”
“You are being modest, Director Li.”
“Little Ye, in the future, if there are difficult things like today in the obstetrics department, can I ask you for help?” Li Jiafu asked.
”Of course.” Ye Qiu smiled and said, “We are all doctors, and it is only natural to help each other. It is my honor to be able to help Director Li.”
”Hahaha, then it’s settled. Director Ye, you go and get busy.”
Li Jiafu no longer called Xiao Ye and directly called Ye Qiu’s position, which showed that he had recognized Ye Qiu’s strength.
Just then, Bai Bing came out of the ward, glanced at Ye Qiu, and said coldly, “Come with me.”
