The world of Taoism

Chapter 63 Baby

Wannian County, Lijia Village.

Lao Li runs a teahouse.

The teahouse is located next to the official road, and there is an endless stream of merchants every day. Most of them settle in Lao Li's teahouse, and the business is not bad.

In the past, Lao Li and his wife managed the store together, and they were very busy every day, but their small life was happy.

Now the teahouse is only managed by Lao Li, and his wife is about to give birth in the near future. Lao Li feels sorry for his wife and does not ask him to come over to help.

"Old Li, Li Laoba!" A shout came from outside.

A half-grown child ran in, panting, "Lao Li, your wife is about to give birth!"

"Really?" Lao Li stood up with his fat body, his fat face was full of joy.

"Yes! Second Aunt asked me to come and call you!"

"Haha! Sorry everyone, Lao Li has something to do today, so we closed early! All orders are free today."

Lao Li bowed his hands to the guests around him.

The guests congratulated one after another, then got up and walked away.

Lao Li gave the child a few candies, and then hurried home.

As soon as I got back home, I heard my wife's heart-piercing voice.

Lao Li was anxious and subconsciously walked in.

"What are you doing! Men are not allowed to go in, stay outside!" The midwife scolded him.

Lao Li was anxious in his heart, pacing around the outside world.

"Mother and child are safe! Mother and child are safe..." Lao Li held an amulet in his hand and chattered endlessly.

While waiting, a picture flashed in Lao Li's mind.

When his wife was pregnant a few months ago, she was in a bad condition, so Lao Li took his wife to see a doctor.

"You may have a miscarriage. I will prescribe a prescription for you. Take it on time. It will definitely give birth smoothly, and it is guaranteed to be a boy."

The doctor is an old man in his 80s, with white beard and hair, and age spots all over his face, giving people a very old feeling.

When Lao Li heard that he could have a boy, he immediately agreed.

Even though this recipe is a bit strange, but it can give birth to a boy to carry on the family line of Lao Li, Lao Li wants to try it.

Sure enough, after taking the folk remedies, his wife's condition improved a lot, and she was in good spirits every day.

With a loud cry, the wife finally gave birth smoothly.

"Congratulations! It's a young master!" The midwife said while holding the baby.

Lao Li was very excited. He hugged this monkey-like child who hadn't opened his eyes yet, and gave the midwife a red envelope.

Old Li's family finally has a queen!

In the following days, the child grew up very healthy and did not suffer from any serious illness.

Lao Li originally wanted to thank the doctor, but found out that he had already moved.

"What a good man!" Lao Li exclaimed.

This doctor is really a miracle doctor. After drinking his folk remedies, he gave birth to a fat boy, heavier than other children in the same village.

Lao Li was holding the baby. The chubby baby looked very cute, and his mouth twitched from time to time, as if he was a little hungry.

"Are you hungry?" Lao Li teased the baby in his arms.

Although a baby of this age would certainly not understand his own words, Lao Li still couldn't help teasing him, after all, this was his precious son.

The ignorant baby suddenly opened his eyes.

The pitch-black eyeballs were fixed on Lao Li, and the emotions of adults were revealed in the eyes.

"I'm hungry!" the baby uttered an old voice.

"This..." Old Li was dumbfounded.

Next, a horrible scene happened.

The baby's black pupils expanded rapidly, taking up all the whites of the eyes.

"I'm hungry..." The baby opened its mouth, revealing a row of fine teeth, and the corners of the mouth were slowly torn to the base of the ears.

The baby's chest heaved slightly and he let out a high-pitched cry
He bit down on Lao Li with a bloody mouth.

Whoa!

Lao Li suddenly woke up, and suddenly realized that it was just a dream, and this dream was too real, his clothes were wet with cold sweat.

It turned out that the past few days were too tiring, and Lao Li fell asleep directly on the table.

"What are you thinking about? The child is not with me." Lao Li heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

So Lao Li walked back to the room.

The wife is in the confinement period, and the thick quilt covers the wife's body, and there is a faint agitation near the chest, and the sound of the baby sucking breast can be heard.

"It's a hot day, I'm not afraid to cover the child." Lao Li shook his head and stepped forward to lift the quilt.

……

"A monster?" Speaking of monsters, Zhou Xuan suddenly regained his energy.

Combined with what Miao Zhu said before he died that day, Zhou Xuan understood something.

Before his death, Miao Zhu said that no one killed him, and he didn't know him before.

Zhou Xuan thought it was sophistry, and wanted to let him go.

Now it seems that the murderer who killed the tenant's family was probably not Miao Zhu.

Maybe it was the monster behind Liu Xiucai who was staring at him, killed his own people, and left a note.

"I'm the next one?" Zhou Xuan smiled.

Even if he didn't come to find him, Zhou Xuan would take the initiative to find that guy.

The relationship between the two has been settled, no matter what the reason is, as long as this group of monsters have spirituality, then they are Zhou Xuan's enemies.

"Did Liu Xiucai bring it?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Brought it, this guy was almost killed, fortunately I found out early." Monday said.

After speaking, Zhou Yi clapped his hands, and everyone carried a stretcher up, and a man was lying on the stretcher.

The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was completely invisible.

It can be vaguely identified that it is Liu Xiucai who called for injustice that day.

Zhou Xuan took a look at Liu Xiucai's injury.

The guy has barely a good spot on the outside, and he has serious internal injuries.

It is difficult to revive this kind of injury in the modern world, let alone the ancient world with extremely poor medical conditions.

Liu Xiucai seems to have an obsession in his heart, which is why he has persisted until now.

"My lord, there are monsters, there are monsters..." Liu Xiucai muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over and his tone trembling.

After being beaten up, Liu Xiucai seemed to wake up, and slowly narrated what happened that day.

"You mean the child turned into a monster? Eaten your wife?" Zhou Xuan was surprised.

"That's right, I saw with my own eyes that the monster gnawed my wife down to the bones, and then ran away." Liu Xiucai's eyes were tearing apart, and blood kept spitting out amidst emotional ups and downs.

"It must be that quack doctor, it's the folk prescription given by the quack doctor, it's him who turned my child into this, ruined my family, it must be him..."

Liu Xiucai spat out blood.

No matter how much the people around him persuaded him, Liu Xiucai never calmed down. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

People are gone, homes are gone, what's the point of living...

Seems to be a reflection of the light, Liu Xiucai's eyes sparkled, looked at Zhou Xuan, and spoke clearly and orderly: "My lord, thank you for your help back then. A villain can't repay you. You can only repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse in the next life."

In the crisis, only Zhou Xuan, a stranger, came to help. Although it was unsuccessful, Liu Xiucai was still grateful.

Before dying, Xiucai didn't have the cheek to ask his benefactor to take risks for himself.

"It's easy to do." Zhou Xuan said.

"I'm here..." Liu Xiucai looked ahead, his wife and two children were waiting for him.

All three were healthy and unharmed.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiucai died of anger.

In a daze, Zhou Xuan faintly heard a thank you. .
