Forbidden City

Chapter 44 The child is hungry
Mu Yi looked at Ling Ziyao and asked: "Back then, when you were lying in the coffin, did you see that fallen tree?" Ling Ziyao said no.Mu Yi's face became more dignified, and he muttered softly: "It seems that the inverted tree came later."

My second uncle and I looked closely at Mu Yi, hoping she would give us a clear answer.

At this moment, the child in Ling Ziyao woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at us, then burst into tears.I hurriedly leaned over, looked at the crying child and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with the baby?" Ling Ziyao held the child in both hands while making a cradle like a cradle, with a sad face, and did not answer me.I saw the child crying non-stop, and felt very distressed, so I said, "Let me hug you." As I spoke, I carried the child over.

Once in my arms, the baby stopped crying and looked at me with wide eyes. Her eyes were dark, round and big, and very cute.

The second uncle came over, stretched out his hand to pinch the child's small face, and said with a smile: "Hey, dad, hug me, don't cry..."

"Wow..." The little guy burst into tears again.

I hurriedly hugged the child tightly, imitating Ling Ziyao's way of dangling my hands just now.She is so light that I hold it like a small pillow in my arms.But no matter how I shake it, she still cries.I was at a loss for a moment, and looked to my second uncle, Mu Yi and Ling Ziyao for help.

Mu Yi is from a girl's family, obviously he doesn't know how to take care of children, and he doesn't seem to like children very much, so he frowned as he watched from the side.It was Ling Ziyao's first time to be a mother and she was inexperienced, so she watched anxiously from the sidelines.On the contrary, the second uncle touched his chin and said seriously: "In my opinion, the little guy should be hungry."

I immediately looked towards Ling Ziyao's chest.Since the child is hungry, he needs to be fed.Ling Ziyao showed embarrassment, and said shyly: "I can't feed her." I saw that her breasts were swollen, so I asked, "Why can't I feed her? Don't you have milk?" Mu Yi said: "She is a ghost." , can’t use her milk to feed the child, otherwise, the child will become a ghost just like the mother.”

"Then...we have to find someone to breastfeed her, or should I go to the city to buy some milk powder?" I was extremely anxious.

The second uncle said carelessly: "You don't need to buy it, just take it to Lao Zhou's house."

"Okay." I picked up the child and ran to Uncle Zhou's house.After running for a while, I saw only my second uncle following me, so I asked, "Where are Ziyao and Mu Yi?" The second uncle said, "Your woman is still in confinement, do you want her to follow you around? Besides, she is Ghost, you can’t see the sun, or you’ll die a miserable death.” I groaned, hugged the child subconsciously, and looked up at the sky. Worried, I don't know if this child will be able to bask in the sun in the future.

When I arrived at Uncle Zhou’s house, I saw Uncle Zhou weaving bamboo baskets at the door of his house, so I immediately asked, “Uncle Zhou, is sister-in-law at home?” Uncle Zhou raised his head, looked at the child in my arms, and asked in surprise: “You Where did you pick up the child?" I couldn't laugh or cry, I really wanted to say, this is my own child, but Zhou Bo obviously wouldn't believe me when I said that, if I told him the truth, I would have to frighten him, so , I did not answer Uncle Zhou directly, but asked anxiously: "Is my sister-in-law at home? The child needs to be fed."

"At home." Uncle Zhou turned his head and called into the house, "Cuihua——"

"Hey——" Uncle Zhou's daughter-in-law Cuihua came out of the house. As soon as I saw her, I immediately went to greet her and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, my child is hungry and needs to be fed. You...help me." I feed her."

Cuihua looked at the child in my arms, hugged it, opened her eyes and said happily: "Oh, what a beautiful child." Then she looked at me and asked: "Is it yours?" I replied: "Yes Hurry up and feed her." Cuihua smiled apologetically and said, "My Xiaohua has been weaned for several months, and I have no milk."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cuihua's breasts, they were quite big, how could there be no milk?Pleading to Cuihua: "What should I do now? Sister-in-law, try it, maybe there will be milk."

Cuihua probably felt relented seeing the child crying all the time, so she said, "Okay, I'll try." Then she put her arms around her clothes and put the child's mouth on her chest.The baby stopped crying as soon as it touched the breast.

I saw that the nipples were white and bulging, there should be a lot of milk... "Ahem!" The second uncle suddenly coughed twice, I looked at the second uncle in confusion, but saw him staring I, with an angry look on my face, winked at me again, and I suddenly understood that the second uncle was reminding me not to stare at Cuihua's chest.I was so embarrassed, I quickly turned my body to one side, and secretly scolded myself, it was too inappropriate, how could I look at Cuihua's place?Alas, I blame myself for being too anxious.Actually, I didn't mean to.

At this moment, Uncle Zhou put down the bamboo basket in his hand, looked up at me and asked, "Since when did you have a child? I haven't even seen your wife."

"I..." I didn't know how to answer for a while, but the second uncle immediately rushed to say: "I picked it up, I picked it up."

Depend on!I cursed secretly in my heart, where did I pick it up?Obviously it's my own, okay?But I didn't say this, because I really didn't dare to admit it to my child, it was miserable.

"You picked it up?" Uncle Zhou and Cuihua asked at the same time, "Where did you pick it up?"

"This... I picked it up at the door of my house." The second uncle answered for me again.

"At the door of the house?" Uncle Zhou and Cuihua glanced at each other, half-believing.

Cuihua smiled and said: "If I can pick up a child at the door of the house, I will pick one up tomorrow." The second uncle stared at Cuihua's chest and said, "You already have a little flower, why do you want another child?" Cuihua said: "Don't be afraid if you have more children." I scolded my second uncle in my heart for being obscene. Just now I was reminded not to watch it, but now I am attracted to it.I was worried that the second uncle would see something after looking at it like this, so I hurriedly asked Cuihua, "Sister-in-law, is there any milk?" Cuihua put down her clothes and said, "There is no milk, the child hasn't sucked out a little after sucking for a long time."

And as soon as the child's mouth left the breast, he immediately yelled again.Seeing her crying like this, I was anxious and uncomfortable, I scratched my head for a while, racked my brains for a while, and decided to go to the city to buy milk powder, then took the child from Cuihua's hand, and told my second uncle that I was going to the city inside.The second uncle nodded and said, "OK."

I hurried home with the child in my arms, and Uncle Zhou asked loudly from behind: "Erqiao, Fengfeng, did you really pick that child up? Don't lie to me. If it was stolen, return it quickly." !"

"Fuck, stolen? This is what you said..." The second uncle glanced at me and said, "We have to think about how this child got here, and we can't let them know that this child was born by a ghost."

Although this sentence sounds very uncomfortable to me, I still agree with the second uncle's statement.

Back at the second uncle's house, Ling Ziyao and Mu Yi were standing at the door leaning on each other, seeing us back, Ling Ziyao couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Did you find the milk?"

"No." I put the child in Ling Ziyao's arms and said, "I'm going to the city to buy milk powder."

"Going to buy milk powder?" Ling Ziyao frowned, and kept patting the child's back with her hands.

I replied: "Yes, there is no human milk, so I have to buy milk powder."

The second uncle was obviously more impatient than me, so he immediately stepped on the tricycle and urged me: "Don't worry, come up, time is running out, the child must not be hungry!" I was about to jump into the car, when Mu Yi suddenly said: " I'll go buy it, I don't know how long it will take you to drive this broken car to the city."

"That's great!" The second uncle jumped out of the car immediately: "Your car is much faster, you are really a contemporary woman, a hero among women!"

Mu Yi ignored the second uncle, turned to me and said, "You take the child with you."

"Okay." I hurriedly took the child from Ling Ziyao's hands, and said to Ling Ziyao, "You have a good rest at home, and I will come back after I buy the milk powder." Ling Ziyao looked at Mu Yi, as if she didn't quite believe Mu Yi Still holding the child's little hand, he asked, "Do you have to bring the child?"

"Of course you have to bring it." Mu Yi said: "It takes nearly an hour to get to the city from here. It takes two hours to go back and forth. If you want your child to be hungry for more than two hours, you can just leave her at home." .”
