Chapter 57

Yuxiao and Zhao Qian were both crying, and even my stomach was crying fiercely. I felt like I was about to die, so I drank a bowl of talisman water, but now I felt even more uncomfortable.

I almost crawled to the door to go out. I saw the table full of dishes, including a stewed chicken soup. Without thinking, I grabbed an empty bowl, scooped up a bowl of food, and started eating wildly.

When Zhang Xiaofei kicked open the door and burst in, I was squatting on the sofa like a farmer who had just returned from work, with disheveled clothes, greedily gnawing on a chicken leg.

Iron is to man as steel is to rice; I had to eat until I was full before I could do anything else. So I ignored them and decided to eat a couple of mouthfuls first.

Yuxiao fainted directly when she saw me "revive."

What do you mean "revive"? Zhao Qian rushed up. When she saw me squatting on the sofa, her eyes blurred, and she fell to the ground.

Do you have to bully me, Zhang Xiaofei? Am I so weak that I can't even eat a meal? I just came back from the dead, and I'm barely holding on. I'm eating a chicken leg to regain my strength. What are you doing here?

But to be honest, I was waiting for him to burst in.

Damn! My brother is already in such a state! And you still have the heart to eat?

Hey? Captain Hu? Zhang Xiaofei from the Zhang family broke into my house. Look at what's happening. He even fainted Zhao Qian and my little sister. Ah? Yes, it was him. It's Longyuan Community. Could you also call an ambulance for me? I hung up the phone and continued eating.

Zhang Xiaofei was petrified on the spot.

I eat! I eat, okay? Zhang Xiaofei's face turned green with fear. Why isn't he playing by the rules? Isn't it said that matters of the mystic should be handled by the mystic?

Isn't that better? I picked up the phone. I hadn't actually made the call earlier, but now I pretended to make it again: Hey, Captain Hu? That was a misunderstanding. Ah, yes, sorry for the trouble.

Zhang Xiaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, his head hanging low.

I felt I had eaten enough, so I went to check on Zhao Qian and Yuxiao.

Yuxiao was truly unconscious, but Zhao Qian was just a bit anemic. I pinched her philtrum, and she woke up.

Brother Tian! Zhao Qian sniffled, reaching out to touch my face. I had eaten hastily, and my face was covered in soup and oil.

But when Zhao Qian touched me, she felt a warm, comforting sensation, despite the oil.

How are you, still alive? I smiled, looking at her hand, which was covered in soup and oil, and handed her the chicken leg: Come, have one.

Mm-hm. Zhao Qian's tears wouldn't stop, and she finally hugged me, not wanting to let go. She seemed like she didn't want to lose me. It was hard for a well-bred lady to end up in such a dirty state.

When Zhao Qian came back, she had taken a shower, and her body emitted a faint fragrance. Her chest pressed against me, making me feel like I was enjoying endless good fortune.

When my heart started racing, a cold wind also blew from behind. Zhao Qian was startled, as if she had sensed something. She pushed me away and touched my face again, then froze.

At this moment, I smiled happily. My sister-in-law was still there. I had come back to life, and she had returned too. Although I didn't know why she hadn't appeared when I was in the netherworld, there must have been a reason. After all, every time she appeared, my vital energy would drop drastically. If it happened again, I would probably have to go to the netherworld once more.

My lifespan is gone, and being alive now is a miracle. I think I should find Old Hai; perhaps he knows something or has a solution.

Let me put Yuxiao to bed first. She should be fine after a nap. I carried Yuxiao back to the study and came out.

Zhang Xiaofei didn't care about the relatives outside and started eating.

This meal was a joint effort by Zhao Qian and Yuxiao, and it tasted pretty good. I can't say much about Yuxiao, but Zhao Qian's cooking skills should be decent.

Tell me, what happened to your brother? I frowned. Earlier, I had thrown a stone and knocked down a lightning rod they used to guard the tomb, breaking their formation. It was my fault.

My brother? I tell you, you have to solve this problem for me. My brother is outside. I glanced outside and saw a man not much older than Zhang Xiaofei standing there, with a group of relatives following him into the villa.

Isn't your brother fine? Okay, leave your brother here and let your relatives go back. It's hard to deal with this when everyone is surrounding us. I saw that aunts and uncles had come, and it felt like a street brawl. The Zhang family must be a bit lacking in brains.

Oh, that's right. Zhang Xiaofei suddenly realized and ran out to talk to the relatives. Surprisingly, even though he wasn't very smart, the relatives all listened to him and left in cars and vans.

My brother is called Zhang Dafei. Can he come in? Zhang Xiaofei asked, afraid I would call the police again.

Let him in. I thought Zhang Xiaofei was quite peculiar. Those who dare to rob tombs are either very brave or very skilled, or they must be a bit lacking in brains.

Zhang Xiaofei obediently dragged his brother in.

I looked at Zhang Dafei and saw that he seemed fine, with no lack of vitality or spirit. He just didn't talk much. I wondered if his soul had been taken that night.

What's going on? Any abnormalities? I asked.

My brother... it's embarrassing to say, but my brother seems to be... pregnant. Zhang Xiaofei said, looking at his brother's stomach.

What? I was surprised. Can men get pregnant? Is it some kind of ghost fetus?

Yes, we have a doctor in our family. When we robbed the tomb last night, you broke our lightning rod formation, and my brother was scared by something in the tomb. Although we had a backup plan and managed to escape, when my uncle checked him, he said his pulse was like a rolling pearl, indicating signs of pregnancy.

Zhang Xiaofei's face turned pale. He added: My brother is still a virgin! When he found out he was pregnant, he was completely shocked! At first, he stuttered, but now he doesn't speak at all. What do you think we should do?

Zhao Qian, who was standing nearby, thought it was a joke and almost burst out laughing. But after hearing the story, her face turned green. This wasn't a joke; if a man could get pregnant, it would be a disaster.

I think it might be a ghost fetus. Have you consulted a master? Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? I looked at Zhang Dafei, my expression becoming serious.

Brother, you're really embarrassing the Zhang family. There are just a few of us here, and I'm not afraid to say it. Our family has been robbing tombs for years. We've seen all kinds of ghosts and even reanimated corpses. If we could survive, we must be tough. How could we not have seen this? We secretly took my brother for a CT scan and found the fetus in his stomach. What do you think we should do? Zhang Xiaofei looked at me, a bit unhappy.

I thought about it. Zhang Dafei sounded strong and straightforward last night. How could he now be like a little woman, not even speaking?

What can we do? If it's a demon, we exorcise it. If it's a ghost, we remove it. Do you want me to marry your brother and raise the child as my own? I laughed in frustration.

Zhao Qian couldn't hold back and ran to the toilet to laugh.

Zhang Xiaofei's forehead veins bulged, but I ignored him, touched the soul jar, and called out Song Wanyi: Wanyi, take a look. What's going on? Can you perform a cesarean section?

When Song Wanyi came out, Zhang Xiaofei's veins immediately disappeared, and his face was covered in sweat: My father, what else could this be but a powerful ghost?

Zhang Dafei was also terrified. He couldn't see ghosts, but his brother could. His brother, who had the Yin-Yang eye and was the designated successor of the Zhang family, saw his brother's expression and the name I suddenly called out, and he knew the situation.

Song Wanyi walked over, examined Zhang Dafei, and looked at his stomach. Then she came to the table and wrote with soup: "Borrowing the womb to produce a ghost, disaster comes from the mouth."

Mm-hm, so it is a ghost fetus, and it comes out of the mouth when it's born, right? I read the ancient text and explained it aloud.

Song Wanyi looked very pleased, acting coquettishly, as if I was very smart.

When I saw Song Wanyi's excitement, I felt that this explanation was probably wrong. It must be that Zhang Dafei had said something bad, so the ghost in Chengshan Mountain decided to play a trick on them. The pregnancy and the inability to speak were just the first steps.

What? The ghost can come out of the mouth? Oh my God, brother! You can't solve it this way! Zhang Xiaofei objected. Knowing it's a ghost fetus, it can't be allowed to be born.

Do you have any other solutions? This child can't be kept; it must be killed. I said.

Song Wanyi wrote a few more words: "The big and small are connected; any action will result in death."

So, it can only be born? Why did you come out? I was a bit unhappy. Is Song Wanyi just playing with me?

Song Wanyi smiled and wrote: "First remove the big ghost, then the small one."

Alright, since that's the case, the ghost in Chengshan Mountain must be removed. Your brother robbed the tomb and probably insulted the person in the tomb, making them angry. The child in his stomach should be left for now. But I also have some responsibility. I have some business at Zhao Family Village later. Tonight, bring the master, and I'll help you exorcise the ghosts. Once the big one is gone, the small one won't be a problem. I said, looking at Song Wanyi.

Song Wanyi giggled, looking like a well-behaved woman, very innocent.

Zhang Xiaofei, hearing this, understood that I knew everything and lowered his head: Brother, you are a master; nothing can be hidden from you.
