Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 230 I'm really afraid of ghosts

Yang Deshan opened all the blankets for the child and tore off a corner of toilet paper from under Liao Zhi.

Wrap the umbilical cord stump, which had frozen into a tiny wooden stick, with toilet paper.

She gently rubbed the child's chest, but dared not use too much force, for fear of damaging the child's delicate skin.

The ice rubbed against my chest melted into water, and the water was evaporated by the heat.

I turned the child to her side and rubbed her back, which, like her chest, became warm.

Yang Deshan continued rubbing the child until every part of the child was completely dry before he stopped.

He then took out a small leather bag from the pocket of his overcoat, opened it, took out silver needles, and inserted them into the acupoints.

Yang Deshan dared not apply too much force when acupuncture; this was only the second time he had performed acupuncture on a newborn child.

The first time was when treating Xiao Suo. At that time, Yang Deming was there to support him, so he felt confident.

Now he is the one who has to save a life, and the pressure is immense. His hands are also starting to tremble slightly, almost out of control.

"Uncle, how's it going?"

Yang Wuni entered the house but didn't dare go directly over there, because the child was afraid of the cold and the wind.

People coming in from outside have to warm up their bodies before they can get close.

The snow and frost on Yang Wuni's hair and eyebrows melted into water and flowed down her face through her eyes.

She didn't bother wiping herself; she was so anxious that she craned her neck to look at the child.

"Wu Ni, don't worry, Uncle's technique is amazing!"

Liao Zhi saw that Yang Wuni's face was covered in water and felt sorry for her, so he quickly comforted her.

With a cry of "Wah!", Yang Deshan was so frightened that he fell back onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Uncle, slow down."

Zhang Changyao held the baby bottle in one hand and reached out with the other to pull Yang Deshan's body upright.

"Changyao, Wuni, you two come here and pick her up to breastfeed her."

"The child's lips are still on; he probably hasn't had a drop of milk."

Yang Deshan leaned back, making room, and picked up the silver needles and the small leather bag.

Zhang Changyao wrapped the child in a blanket, picked her up, and let her lean against his arm while she was half-upright.

Yang Wuni took the bottle, turned it upside down, and squeezed out a little milk to the baby's mouth to see if she would eat.

The little one was lured by the milk that had seeped in, smacking his lips and shaking his head in search of food.

Yang Wuni put the pacifier into the little guy's mouth, and the little guy instinctively began to suck.

"Uncle, Zhang Changyao, eat this, and you'll live."

Yang Wuni watched as the half-bottle of milk was finished, and then looked happily at Zhang Changyao and Yang Deshan.

"Are you two going to raise this child?" Liao Zhi asked, noticing the group's unbridled joy.

"Zhang Changyao, why are you moving Liao Zhi's head over here? You'll damage him like that."

When Yang Wuni saw Liao Zhi looking at her, she got angry at Zhang Changyao.

"I...I didn't take Liao Zhi's head? Uncle, did you?" Zhang Changyao looked at Liao Zhi, then turned to look at Yang Deshan.

"If you guys don't like me watching you, then I'll turn back."

Liao Zhi suppressed a smile and turned her head back to its original position.

"Huh? Ah! Liao Zhi! Liao Zhi! Your head can move now?"

Yang Wuni placed the child next to Wen Da, crawled over, hugged Liao Zhi's head, and began to shake it.

"Wu Ni, Wu Ni, haha! Stop, stop, stop! You're going to rip your head off!"

This was the first time Liao Zhi had laughed so heartily and loudly, almost with all his might.

"Liao Zhi, try again. Look at your arms, legs, and butt."

Yang Wuni lifted the blanket covering Liao Zhi, rummaged through Liao Zhi's arms and legs, and patted his buttocks as she did so.

"Wu Ni, don't worry. I was just anxious because I thought something had happened to you since you didn't come back. That's why I was so worried."

I'll slowly test it to see if it can move; let's not rush it!

Seeing that Yang Wuni was even happier than he was, Liao Zhi quickly comforted her.

"Uncle, I told you you're a god, but you wouldn't admit it."

"If Liao Zhizhen can stand up again, then you will be the greatest contributor to our family."

Zhang Changyao excitedly hugged Yang Deshan and kissed him on the cheek.

When Yang Wuni saw Zhang Changyao kissing Yang Deshan, she turned around as well.

With a "smack," he kissed Yang Deshan on the forehead.

"Oh my god! What are you two doing?"

This is the first time in all my years that I've been treated with such kindness.

"You two kids, do you think your old uncle is a child?"

Yang Deshan was so embarrassed that his face turned as red as if he had a high fever. He lowered his head and dared not look at Zhang Changyao and Yang Wuni.

"Zhang Changyao, Wu Ni, you two still haven't answered my question?"

What happened to this child? Where did you find him? Are you going to keep him at home?

Liao Zhi was not blinded by joy. He knew that the matter of the child was extremely urgent and could not be delayed.

"Raise her? How is that possible? She's not a child without parents."

Wu Ni and I are capable of having our own children, so why should we raise someone else's child?

When Liao Zhi asked Zhang Changyao this question, he began to think.

"Zhang Changyao, let's send the child back to Zheng Meizhi and listen to what Hou Da Yanjing and Zheng Jingren are saying."

Zheng Meizhi didn't know the child was still alive. Hou Da-yan threatened Zheng Jingren, making him say with him that the child died at birth.

Yang Wuni is straightforward and doesn't mince words.

"Wu Ni, your method won't work. Zheng Meizhi just gave birth and can't get out of bed."

We can't just hand the child to her and tell her that her child was thrown away alive by Hou Da Yanjing.

Even if we leave the child at his doorstep, Hou Da will still see it and might just smother or strangle the child to death.

Now that we've saved her, we need to come up with a foolproof plan to save the child's life.

Zhang Changyao brewed another half bottle of milk powder and placed it in Yang Wuni's hand.

He sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), holding his head in his hands, lost in thought without saying a word.

"Zhang Changyao, is there anything Hou Daye is afraid of? Try to scare him a little."

"That kid, if you don't find his weakness, you probably won't be able to send him back."

Liao Zhi poured cold water on Zhang Changyao's idea and then suggested a solution that was hardly a solution at all.

"Liao Zhi, how about this? Hou Da is afraid of ghosts."

I pretended to be a ghost to scare him and make him bring the child into the house.

As long as he brings the child into the house, Zheng Meizhi will be able to see that the child is still alive.

As long as Zheng Meizhi sees that the child is still alive, Hou Daye won't dare to abandon the child outside if he doesn't want to divorce Zheng Meizhi.

Reminded by Liao Zhi's words, Zhang Changyao came up with a solution.

"Zhang Changyao, why is Hou Daye afraid of ghosts? Has he seen them or heard about them from others? How afraid is he?" Liao Zhi asked again, still worried.

"Liao Zhi, this kid is really afraid of ghosts. It was when he was a teenager, I don't remember it very well."

That kid went to the graves of the newly deceased to steal offerings and ate them, and also drank half a bottle of liquor.
