The moment Li Jiafu saw the baby, his pupils shrank sharply and he asked in horror: "How could this happen?"
"Ah...what kind of monster is this?"
The young man was so frightened that he screamed loudly, as if he had seen a ghost.
As for Bai Bing, he was relatively calm, but his face was also a little pale at this time. He asked Ye Qiu: "Is this the ghost baby?"
"Yeah." Ye Qiu nodded.
The baby was a boy, only twenty to thirty centimeters long and weighing no more than four kilograms. His body was all black, as if he had been rolled in coals.
Not only that, the baby's face was purple-green and had two fangs three centimeters long.
This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that the baby has no eyes.
"Director Li, you have worked in the obstetrics department for so many years and have delivered many babies. This is probably the first time you have seen a baby like today, right?" Ye Qiu said.
"Hmm." Li Jiafu said with a solemn expression, "I'm afraid... this baby will not survive easily."
"You are exactly wrong. The vitality of a ghost baby is very strong. It is even easier to care for than many babies that weigh eight or nine pounds just after birth."
"Yeah?"
Li Jiafu was a little suspicious and wanted to ask Ye Qiu a few more questions, but suddenly he saw the mother looking at him and immediately closed her mouth.
"Li, Director Li, can you show me the baby?" the mother said slowly.
Li Jiafu was a little hesitant. He was afraid that the appearance of the baby would frighten the mother. He couldn't help but look up at Ye Qiu and asked Ye Qiu what he meant with his eyes.
"Let her have a look. After all, she is the mother of the child and has the right to know what the child looks like." Ye Qiu then warned the mother and said, "This baby is different from ordinary children. You must be mentally prepared."
"Hmm." The pregnant woman hummed softly.
Li Jiafu wrapped the ghost baby in a sheet and handed it to the mother.
The mother just took one look and turned pale with fear.
About ten seconds passed.
The mother's face returned to normal, then she struggled to sit up on the bed, took the baby from Li Jiafu's hands, and asked with tears: "Doctor, why does my baby look like this?"
Ye Qiu didn't hide anything and said, "This is a ghost baby."
"Ghost baby?"
Neither the mother nor her husband understand.
Ye Qiu briefly explained the formation of several kinds of ghost babies. After listening, both the mother and her husband fell silent.
"Doctor, can this child be raised?" the mother asked, "He is my flesh and blood after all."
"I understand your feelings, but I remind you that it is best not to raise them." Ye Qiu said: "Ghost babies should not exist in the world."
"In ancient times, after a ghost baby was born, he would find a Taoist priest or a Taoist monk to end the ghost baby's life. The ghost baby was born without eyes. Legend has it that once it survives, it will keep looking for good eyes, that is, it can do
A lot of outrageous things."
"In addition, ghost babies are born with an unknown destiny and will destroy their relatives and friends around them."
The mother's face turned pale.
"So, this child cannot be raised?" the young man asked.
Ye Qiu replied: "My suggestion is not to raise it. As for whether you want to raise it or not, you and your wife have to decide for yourself."
The mother and her husband discussed it for a long time.
Finally, I made up my mind.
"Doctor, my wife and I have discussed that we no longer want to raise this child. What should we do next?" the young man asked.
"If you are sure you don't want to adopt her, you must fill out an abandonment declaration."
Ye Qiu gave Li Jiafu a look, and the latter understood and took out a declaration of abandonment for the mother and the young man to sign.
"Doctor, I have a request." The mother begged, "Can you let the baby go without pain?"
"Can."
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he took action and quickly pointed at the center of Ghost Baby's eyebrows.
The ghost baby seemed to realize that someone was trying to end his life. With a "squeak" sound, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the back of Ye Qiu's hand with his fangs.
This sudden change frightened everyone.
"Be careful-" Bai Bing exclaimed.
However, Ye Qiu was faster. He slapped Guiying's face away with his backhand and pressed his finger on Guiying's forehead.
His finger was like a nail, holding the ghost baby tightly.
"呲呲——"
The ghost baby grinned with its teeth and a fierce look on its face. It looked so ferocious that it made people feel terrified.
Ye Qiu put the index and middle fingers of his left hand together to form a sword, then drew a talisman on the ghost baby and muttered something in his mouth.
Half a minute later.
The ghost baby stopped struggling.
Breathing stops.
Officially declared dead!
"Wow..." The mother cried loudly.
Although the child she gave birth to was a monster, it was still her own flesh and blood. Seeing her child die in front of her, the mother collapsed.
"Director Li, please make arrangements to send this child to the morgue."
"OK."
"Then I'll leave first."
The matter has been resolved, and Ye Qiu has no need to stay here anymore, so he turns around and leaves.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the ward, Li Jiafu chased him out and shouted urgently: "Xiaoye——"
Ye Qiu turned around and asked doubtfully: "Director Li, do you have anything else to do?"
"Xiaoye, I just want to say sorry to you." Li Jiafu was a little embarrassed and said, "I said before that you were engaged in feudal superstition. It was only when I saw the baby that I realized that I had misunderstood you."
"If you don't see this kind of thing with your own eyes, it would be hard for most people to believe it." Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Director Li, I don't blame you."
"By the way, Xiaoye, we did a comprehensive examination on the mother, but we didn't find that she was carrying a ghost baby. How did you tell that?"
Li Jiafu was puzzled by this point.
As we all know, pregnant women go for prenatal check-ups every month, especially when they are about to give birth, they will go for a comprehensive check-up.
As for this mother, because of abdominal pain, Li Jiafu worked with several experts to examine her.
However, it was not discovered that the mother was actually a ghost baby.
This itself is unreasonable.
So, how did Ye Qiu figure it out?
Naturally, Ye Qiu would not tell Li Jiafu. He had opened his clairvoyance and his eyes could see through. He smiled and said, "I discovered this by checking the pulse with Chinese medicine."
"So that's it." Li Jiafu suddenly realized it, and then said with admiration: "Some time ago, I always heard them say that your medical skills are so brilliant, Xiaoye. Only when I saw them with my own eyes today did I know that your medical skills are better than those of us experts.
You are much smarter. Xiaoye, you are amazing!"
"Director Li, you are so humble."
"Xiaoye, if something difficult like today happens in the obstetrics department in the future, can I ask for your help?" Li Jiafu asked.
"Of course." Ye Qiu said with a smile: "We are all doctors, so we should help each other. It is my honor to be able to help Director Li."
"Hahaha, it's settled then. Director Ye, go get busy."
Li Jiafu stopped calling Xiaoye and directly called Ye Qiu by his job title. This showed that he had recognized Ye Qiu's strength.
At this moment, Bai Bing came out of the ward, glanced at Ye Qiu, and said coldly: "Follow me."
