Chapter 28 Birth Canal
  Lord, man, die?
  I didn't turn a corner for a while.

Then I heard the cries of the ghost babies in the pit.

Almost instantly, the hostile atmosphere in the cave almost turned into reality, and the temperature also dropped a lot.

A biting chill blew across my cheeks, and I suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, in the next second, the bloated baby girl hung upside down and walked to Uncle Zhou's head:
  "You need to go out and walk through the birth canal."

"Go through the birth canal and come out, you are us, brothers and sisters."

B? !
  Almost instantly, I remembered the downward 'passage' that I entered by mistake when I came in. It turned out that they called that passage the 'birth canal'!
  So that’s it, it’s getting smaller and smaller.
  Isn't it like a passage for mothers and babies to give birth? !

That man must have been forced into the birth canal by these ghost babies, and then completely trapped there to death!
  And the reason.
  I raised my eyes and looked at the bloody ghost babies’ cheeks——

It was men who killed them! ! !
  My heart sank. It seems that Uncle Zhou will definitely be left behind today.
  But what can be done to save his life?

We can't just watch Uncle Zhou disappear!
  Uncle Zhou obviously understood this. He didn't know where he got the strength from. The man who originally fell to the ground and couldn't get up actually managed to stand up, and then——

"puff"

There was a heavy kneeling sound, and Uncle Zhou straightened up and knelt down again, worshiping the red-eyed ghost babies in the room, almost crying and humming:
  "Dolls! Dolls! Let uncle live. No, I don't ask you to let me go. Let uncle wait and die!"

My thoughts that were still thinking were interrupted. I really didn't expect Uncle Zhou to talk nonsense. Is this an old fool who is afraid of death?

Before I could figure out why I was here, I heard Uncle Zhou say again:

"Just for one day. Just let me go for one day. When I go home and hand over my son to other relatives, I will come back!"

"I will definitely come back, otherwise, you will just...just...take me."

Uncle Zhou was sweating profusely, and his muddy old eyes were filled with tears, which could almost be called tears streaming down his face:

". Just dig up the graves of my ancestors and bring my stupid son with you!"

"I won't lie to you. I really don't lie to you!"

My thoughts changed and I immediately walked a few steps to Uncle Zhou and whispered:

"Tell me about your son, honestly."

What I didn't expect just now is that these ghost babies seemed to be very friendly towards women and children, and only men were hostile.

If you can grasp this, you might have a chance to go out!

After listening to my words, Uncle Zhou nodded repeatedly and wiped his nose and face with his rough hands:

"That's right, listen to me. My son is half-idiot, and there is no one else in the family except me as his father."

"His mother passed away early, leaving us two dependent on each other. He was very smart when he was a child, and he often won prizes in elementary school."

"At that time, I was working as a helper during the day, and he would go fishing for loaches to sell after school. Although we, father and son, were poor, we were very happy to spend the penny in two."

"Until my son graduates from junior high school, he will have to go to town to study in high school, which will cost a lot of money."

"I'm so worried that my hair is falling out. I'm raising money everywhere, but I haven't raised half yet. I'm a sensible kid."

Uncle Zhou cried and beat his chest vigorously with his fists:

"He is wise too early! He has to tell me not to continue studying. I, a father, have no ability to go out and make a living! Otherwise, he is so smart, he is destined to study and go to university, and find a clean job."

"My son just left the house and wandered around for a few years. One day, for some unknown reason, he collapsed at the gate of our village with his head and face covered in blood."

"By the time someone finds him and saves him, he will be stupid!"

"Damn it, cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. Damn it! I wonder if he was hanging out in society outside and made enemies with others." "He was beaten so hard that his head was covered in blood. He was so cruel that his head was covered with blood. There were cracks, and even one ear was beaten into pulp."

"It's been sixteen years. In the past sixteen years, I've made money everywhere, treated him everywhere, and checked his brain."

"Money is just a waste of money, and people are not good at all!"

".I can never hear him call me daddy again."

Uncle Zhou couldn't bear it anymore. He curled up on the ground with his head on the ground and kept knocking his head. He knocked with great force. Soon the blood on his forehead was mixed with tears and fell into the dust in front of him:

"The purpose of digging mud today is to burn porcelain and sell it to treat my son's illness. But I really don't know that this mud is the flesh and blood of you dolls."

"It's uncle. If you don't run away, just give me a day. I'll come back after one day to explain everything!"

I really didn't expect such a thing to happen in Uncle Zhou's family.

No wonder Uncle Zhou seems to be quite energetic this time, but the sides of his hair are already gray and mottled, and the clothes on his body are washed white.
  I wanted to step forward and stop Uncle Zhou from kowtowing, which seemed like self-mutilation, but fortunately my mind was still clear, so I first looked up at the top of the cave.

The distended baby girl on the roof of the cave indeed had a small wrinkled face. Although her face was still covered in blood and flesh, I actually saw a look of hesitation in it.
  There is a play!

I was shocked, and sure enough, the next second I heard the bloated ghost baby speak, but what she said really made me feel a little inexplicable:
  "Hit, left, ear?"

Why hit the left ear?

I was stunned, wait, shouldn’t this be said?
  I quickly helped Uncle Zhou up and asked:

"Uncle Zhou, is your son's injured ear the one on the left?"

Uncle Zhou was helped up by me. He was still a little dizzy for a while, but about his son, he still subconsciously replied:

"Yes, the one on the left was beaten to pieces. It still can't hear in either ear."

The distended ghost baby obviously understood what he said, and fell into silence for a moment. After a long while, he spoke again:
  "Son, you are a good man, and you are also a good man."

"Walk."

This time it wasn’t just me, Uncle Zhou also reacted, but after he understood what it meant, it became even more impossible for him to leave:

"Baby, good baby. You have met my son, right?!"

"What happened to my son? Wasn't he beaten by people from outside society? How come you can still see him?"

Ten thousand possibilities came to my mind, and when I contacted the man who died in the ‘birth canal’ and the well-made pair of green-soled rubber shoes, I blurted out almost instantly:

"Uncle Zhou's son came down with the man who died in the birth canal sixteen years ago!"

But this Wan Kiln has been closed for twenty years. What did they do here sixteen years ago?

Are you here to dig dirt too?

No, that's not right.

If you are digging in the mud, you should leave immediately after digging. Even if you encounter a ghost baby, you should run away. What is the internal strife?

Moreover, the ghost baby said that Uncle Zhou’s son was a ‘good boy’.

She clearly has a good impression of Uncle Zhou's son.
  There were many thoughts in my mind, and just at this moment I heard the faint voice of the baby girl with a distended abdomen ringing from above my head:

".They, say, robbed graves."
