Chapter 63 Gifts
  The bloated ghost baby was in a languid state, or her recent state was not very good.

Unlike other ghost babies who saw their friends reunited with their mothers, there was no obvious envy or hatred in her eyes.

But every time I came over, I buried my head deeply in the stone wall.

just like--

She won't wait for anyone, and no one will come.

I was silent for a few breaths and then tried to ask:
  "Do you want to go with me?"

"There is a ghost baby in my family, named Xiao Shishi. Maybe you would like to keep him company?"

This has become the ghost baby of the climate, and it is normal to not want to dissipate.

This bloated baby girl is already able to communicate basically, which is much better than the 40-year-old girl at home. If she is willing to go with me, she will be a golden couple. From now on, as long as she is supported with peace of mind, she will be able to live happily ever after. The right path is also a good thing.

I thought that even if my idea would not be accepted, it would still be worthy of careful consideration by the bloated ghost baby, but the bloated ghost baby didn’t even think about it and shook his head firmly:

"Go home, I, want to go home, without company."

is it?

It turned out that somewhere I didn’t see, this baby girl missed ‘home’ so much.

I was stunned for a moment and immediately said:
  "Okay, no problem, I will bury you properly."

The distended ghost baby nodded, slowly climbed down from the ceiling, moved inch by inch to the stone wall closest to me, and waved to me:

"Come on."

This ghost baby is
  I took a few steps forward, and the ghost baby stopped what he was doing and opened his huge mouth toward me.

During this period of contact, I certainly knew that she would not hurt me.

But what does the bloated ghost baby want to do now?
  She opened her mouth to me but didn't bite me. She couldn't let me see her mouth?
  Wait, as soon as I look at her mouth, she stops moving!

It seems to be true!
  I was stunned for a moment, and endured the fishy smell emanating from the bloated ghost baby's mouth, and began to look into her mouth carefully.

I remember when I first met her, this was what she said.

At that time, she opened her mouth full of bone spurs, preparing to intimidate me.

The ghost baby has not yet reached the time to grow teeth. Perhaps in order to have a mouth of 'teeth' to deter the ghosts, this distended ghost baby removed a lot of bones from nowhere and forced them into its mouth to act as a ghost baby. A mouthful of sharp teeth
  Now the bone spur has not changed, but when the bloated ghost baby opened his mouth without reservation, I saw something different:

"Baby, is there something stuck in your innermost tooth?"

"Does it hurt? Do you want me to help you take it out?"

There was little light in the cave. I could only rely on a miner's lamp not far away for illumination. I could vaguely see a large yellow bone stuck horizontally in the deepest part of the ghost baby's bed, near the tonsils.

Although the ghost can't feel pain, the bone has obviously been stuck for a long time, otherwise it would not have turned yellow and showed signs of osteoporosis.

The distended ghost baby slowly closed his mouth, hesitated, and finally nodded.

I scratched my head and rummaged through the tool bag that I kept with me. It took me a long time to find a small piece of bamboo suitable for holding things. I turned to the little ghost baby again:
  "Open your mouth~ah~~~"

"Ah~~vomit——"

The distended ghost baby imitated my example and let out a cry. With quick eyesight and quick hands, I picked and hooked with a small piece of bamboo. The thing in the throat immediately loosened, and the ghost baby immediately vomited it out.

There was a crisp sound of metal falling to the ground, and I patted the distended ghost baby's back. Afterwards, I realized something was wrong——

The sound of bones is actually metal?

I was stunned, and let go of the hand that patted the bloated ghost baby. I found the miner's lamp not far away again, and went to the ground to look for the pile of vomit from the ghost baby.

Looking at it, it turned out to be a harvest.

Among the pile of smelly vomit, there was a reflective object.

I pulled it with a bamboo blade a few times, and the metallic luster of the object became even more obvious. It looked a bit like - a strange-shaped copper bar?

I took the copper bar and looked at the bloated ghost baby on the stone wall. The ghost baby was in poor condition, and its voice became high-pitched and thin, and its breath was like a gossamer:

"You, good man, gift."

"I want to go home"

This ghost baby's condition is obviously not right!
  Why would I have to dissipate without my salvation? !

I quickly said:

"Then I will send you your bones now."

Before I finished speaking, I saw the vitality suddenly disappearing from the red pupils of the distended ghost baby.

In just a few breaths, the ghost infant's body turned into a pool of blood and bone spurs, as if its rapidly decaying skin and flesh, and disappeared!

I froze in place for several seconds, then grabbed the copper bar and stuffed it into my backpack, and slowly crawled out of the cave.

The moment I came out of the cave, all the fatigue of more than half a month hit me, and I actually felt a little unreal.

The women have been buried, and the ghost babies are holding hands to be reincarnated.

Everything is done.

But I actually don't know what to do.

Perhaps, I should say that I hope they will be reincarnated smoothly and happily from now on?

But does reincarnation mean the beginning of a new round?

Maybe I'm wrong?
  I now hope that if there are other underworlds, they can stay and form a big happy family, without having to face a new round of human devastation at birth.
  I was confused at the entrance of the cave for a moment, then I packed up all my things and walked towards the town.

Before I went out today, I had packed everything in my house in the village. Everything that could be packed and taken to the house in town was delivered there. What could not be packed and taken away was sealed in boxes and buried underground as much as possible.

In short, no neighbor should take advantage.

I have no nostalgia for this village except for the traces of my past life with my second uncle and my mother in the stone wall.

Because of this, I left very quickly.

Even though I was a little tired these days and my head was a little dizzy, I quickly walked to the town.

The house given by the Zhu family was a shop in the old part of the town.

I had observed it when I came here a few days ago, and there were a lot of things selling everywhere, mostly food and hardware stores.

Although the front door is not wide, the advantage is that the height of the store is very high, more than six meters, and it is simply divided into upper and lower floors.

From now on, the downstairs will be the facade, where I can buy some paper figures and money, and the upstairs will be the place to live, which is just right.

Since the second uncle is coming back soon, he has to take good care of the house in the next few days, organize a decent shop, and find someone to partition the room.
  Then there is the matter of finding the scumbag father.

I got to work as I was told. I took out the cleaning supplies and put my phone, which I finally could use, into listening mode while tidying up.

Not long after, the phone made several harsh beeps.

I was stunned, and immediately put down everything in my hands and looked at my phone. This seemed to be a short-term alarm!
  The smooth mobile phone screen displays huge text:
  "The seismic wave has arrived!"

"The earthquake occurred in Anxing Mountains."

"The epicenter is from you: about 24km."

"Early warning magnitude: 5.6."

Anxing Mountains, isn't this the name of the mountains that Wanyao Village relied on during the era?

24km from me
  I'm afraid this is not an earthquake in the mountains behind Wanyao Village! ?
