Chapter 019 - Ghost Baby

　　Sunset, bamboo forest farmhouse, a peasant woman sitting under the roof is feeding the baby, looking at the arms of the chubby cute child, peasant woman heart sweet. Husband down to the land is about to return, the stove on the big iron pot has been cooked on the rice, a new rice smell diffused in the air. 　　In the bamboo forest came on the dry bamboo leaves on the rustling sound of footsteps, probably the husband came home. 　　In the bamboo forest came a man, tiger back, strong body, this person is Zhu Biao, inquiring all day, he finally found here. 　　The farmer's wife looked at the visitor with some surprise, this place is in the middle of nowhere, usually very few strangers pass by. 　　"Sister-in-law, I want to drink some water." Zhu Biao had already spotted the baby in the farmer woman's arms. 　　The peasant woman went inside and scooped up a ladle of cool water and handed it to the traveling guest. 　　"Sister-in-law, this child has grown so sturdy, it's a brat, isn't it?" Zhu Biao drank the water while sizing up the baby. 　　Hearing someone praising her child, the peasant woman was overjoyed, for children born in the countryside, their parents like their bodies to grow stronger. 　　"How old is it?" Zhu Biao asked. 　　"Not even a full month yet." Farmer's wife replied. 　　"Really was born and big and strong, let me see, you see this little face ......" Zhu Biao then said up to look at the child. 　　The baby was born white and chubby, thick eyebrows and big eyes, black eyes gleaming and looking at Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao heart a sour, almost falling tears. Suddenly, the child "giggle" laughed, laugh harsh and ear-piercing, at the same time eyes staring at Zhu Biao, eyelids do not blink, two black pupils dilated more than double the white of the eyes to the corner of the eye edge, almost the entire eye socket is full of black kernels ... ... 　　Zhu Biao was shocked, and then rejoiced, the old man Wu, who came from Guangdong, told him that it is against common sense to recognize, and this child's strange smile must be his own son, undoubtedly. 　　Caiflower ah, this is our son ah, he held in the eyes of the tears finally dripped down. 　　"Huh, old cousin, what's wrong with you?" The peasant woman looked at Zhu Biao in surprise. 　　Zhu Biao understood that he lost his temper, busy said, "ah, my family three houses, just do not have a child, just now see this doll born so well, a moment to remember their own family a little sad, alas, if he can do my godson would be good." 　　He considered knocking out the peasant woman to snatch the child away, but one is afraid of death, and secondly, he has no way to breastfeed the child, so he can't come to the strong yet. 　　When the peasant woman heard Zhu Biao's words, she just smiled warily and held the baby tightly in her hands. 　　The sound of footsteps came from the bamboo forest again, and the farmer's wife's husband came back from wrapping up his work in the fields. 　　The man of the house froze at the sight of Zhu Biao, and his eyes flicked to his daughter-in-law. 　　"This old table passed by our house to drink water." The peasant woman told her husband. 　　"Oh, then please come inside." The man of the house conceded, mountain people are more hospitable. 　　"No, let's go, I'm Zhu Biao, the captain of Nanshan Village, everyone knows about me when they ask." Zhu Biao said. 　　As soon as I heard it was Nanshan Village, the host immediately warmed up and said, "So it is Nanshan Village ah, a few days ago thanks to your Dr. Zhu, or I'm afraid that adults and children can not be saved, Dr. Zhu how is it?" 　　So it was Dr. Zhu who came to deliver the baby, it seems that I have to be polite to him in the future, after all, that child is my son. 　　"Dr. Zhu is okay, his family lives in the east end of the village, I live in the north of the village under the old acacia tree, three straw houses. Come and sit down when you have time, I really like this little doll, I want to recognize him as my godson, okay?" Zhu Biao said sincerely. 　　"This ......" the male host stammered. 　　Zhu Biao said, "I am a production leader, an excellent communist party member, a five good community member for many years in a row, a young raider, and a militia platoon leader ......" 　　"In the next two days, we are going to go to Nanshan Village as a family to visit Dr. Zhu and express our gratitude to him, let's talk about it then." The male host said cautiously. 　　Zhu Biao heard the heart has a bit of a spectrum, people must be to inquire to understand their own situation, immediately rushed back to do some work beforehand, especially to ask Wu Lao, this person learned a lot! 　　"How do you call the old table?" Zhu Biao asked. 　　"My surname Shen, call me Tianhu on the line." The male host gave his name. 　　"Good, Tianhu, you go to Dr. Zhu's place must come to my home to sit." Zhu Biao sincerely invited. 　　"Okay." Shen Tianhu agreed. 　　Zhu Biao excused himself and looked back after walking out a few steps, the baby smiled wryly at him. 　　The sun sinks fast in the mountains, Zhu Biao just walked out of the bamboo forest, the sky is dark. In front of him was the deserted cemetery, "Gaga", a few cries of crows echoed in the cemetery. 　　Zhu Biao stood in front of the lonely mound, his eyes moist again. 　　Caiflower, I finally found our son, he grew white and strong, and will smile at me. Caiflower, you can now rest in peace, don't worry, soon I will bring him back to my side, I will raise him to adulthood, and I will never look for another woman in my life. Only when I'm with you do I feel truly happy, I can't live without your company, so I'm going to bury you back at my house, under the old locust tree, are you happy? This way, we can spend time together and see each other every day, as well as our children. 　　Zhu Biao hissed and let out a long sigh ...... 　　The deserted graveyard echoed a soft sigh, that is a kind of mournful and desolate sound, as if a woman can not cut off the heartbreaking sigh ...... 　　Zhu Biao took one step and turned back three times, and gradually went away. 　　"Ga ......" that crow is still on the grave. 　　The waning moon like a hook, a long way to see the old acacia tree, that big writer Wu Lao upside down with his hands behind his back, quietly standing in the moonlight. 　　Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Lao slowly turned around, gently smiled at Zhu Biao and said, "Listen to your footsteps, urgent but not chaotic, the gas against the foot heel, like a spring breeze, should be to find your son." 　　"Elder Wu, you are really a man of God, indeed, it is in a family's house not far from the cauliflower cemetery, that baby is still born very much like me!" Zhu Biao said excitedly. 　　Wu Daoming smiled without saying anything. 　　"Elder Wu, I'm going to pick up Caiflower and go home tonight, I don't want her to be alone there, do you think it's okay?" Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask. 　　Wu Daoming thought briefly and sighed: "Good, life and death are close, remembering that you are so sentimental, I will instruct you, remember, open the acupuncture point in the middle of the hour, seal the dead body's mouth and nose with mud, carry it behind your back, no matter what situation you encounter on the way, you must not answer it, do you understand?" 　　"Understood." Zhu Biao answered with his mouth full. 　　"Good then, you can go and do it, dig a new grave on the right side of the grass room at a position of three zhang three." Wu Daoming instructed. 　　"Then, Elder Wu, please go back to the house and rest, I'll go cook for you." Zhu Biao said. 　　"No need, I don't want to eat tonight, I'm going to give your house a cleanup." Wu Daoming said with a cold smile. 　　"A big cleanup? Is my house dirty?" Zhu Biao asked in confusion. 　　"Of course." Wu Daoming smiled grimly.
