The county magistrate was disconsolate. ”If I'm possessed, what can I do to cure it?”
Yue Huaiyin gently said: ”Let's give it a try, I ask Goddess to chant an incantation and invite the God of Plague to leave, what do you think?”
The county magistrate hastened to reply, ”My lord, I am an imperial court official and cannot be trusted with these …”
”Lord, just think of it as Huaiyin's heart and hope for your health.” Yue Huaiyin smiled, ”It has nothing to do with you, if it's a spirit, then it's also because of Huai Yin's sincerity that moved the heavens.”
The county magistrate frowned. ”Fine, I'll give it a try.”
Yue Huaiyin was secretly happy in her heart, as expected, this stupid thing was led away step by step by her nose.
In the morning of the next day, Xiaowan got up and went to the cradle to look at the child. The little fellow was sleeping soundly, only his hands and arms were outstretched, exposing his clothes.
But...
”Husband, come take a look. Has he grown up a lot?” Xiaowan pulled Ling Chaofeng up and ran to the side of the cradle.
”A lot bigger.” Ling Chaofeng frowned, ”It's not just that, it's that it's twice the size.”
Xiaowan reached out to hug his son. It was heavy, much heavier than yesterday. The child woke up and looked at them in confusion.
Ling Chaofeng lightly patted his butt. ”So impolite?”
Xiaowan stood there, unmoving. She could only sit down and let her son eat in her arms.
She didn't know if it was just an illusion, but she felt that her son's horn had become a little smaller, so she asked Ling Chaofeng, ”Husband, will his horn disappear when he grows up?”
Ling Chaofeng continued: ”Even if one of the horns disappeared, he grew up too fast, I'm afraid that when you wake up tomorrow, he would be able to walk.”
Xiaowan laughed: ”In the blink of an eye, you are even older than me, to be able to get married and get married?”
Naturally, this was not something to be happy about. Having grown up at such a speed, it would be strange for him to be here sooner or later. However, if he were to go somewhere else, it would make him curious. Their only option was to go to a place devoid of people and wait for their child to grow up so that he wouldn't spend a whole night and a hundred days before meeting him.
Or perhaps, he would be stuck in the depths of the mountains for the rest of his life, never to be seen again.
”In the next few days, I will move the things in the cellar out. You have to be very careful at home. If Susu and the rest are here, they can do so as and when they please. Ling Chaofeng warned the Xiaowan, ”There are too many people for us to travel, but if Susu and the others are willing to follow us, they will come to pick them up after we settle down. You can discuss these things with Susu, or wait for me to come back and we can talk. ”
The Xiaowan remembered and warned Hubby to be careful. She held his son and waved him away.
Aunt Zhang happened to be upstairs as she smiled: ”Have you all decided on the child's name?”
Xiaowan said, ”I've forgotten about that.”
However, Ling Chaofeng said: ”Last night, I thought about it.
Afraid that the Xiaowan did not know the word, she went over to the table and wrote it down. The Xiaowan muttered, ”There are so many strokes.”
But she really liked it when she hugged her son and called out to him, ”Little Pei, you have a name now, Little Pei, Little Pei.”
Aunt Zhang was surprised that he had grown so much in one night. After looking carefully, she muttered to herself, ”Isn't the horn on his head a little smaller?”
Xiaowan hoped that one day, this pair of horns would completely disappear and that his son would be able to live a normal life. However, he grew up too fast, afraid that one day, he would surpass her and her husband.
When the sky was bright, Da Qing drove a wooden carriage and brought Susu here. It turned out that yesterday, Da Qing had heard from the people at the pier that Master Mu was talking about her daughter, which meant that she was the inner manager of Ling Xiao Inn.
They asked Da Qing if he knew anything about it. When Da Qing arrived at the tavern, he only saw that the door was tightly shut. He did not dare to go up and disturb them.
Susu was told by Xiaowan to stay home to rest her womb, and didn't come to work these few days. She was also curious why Xiaowan was born, but didn't report the good news to the Baisha Village. Today, no matter what, she would come and see.
When Susu went upstairs, Little Pei was already asleep in the cradle. The Xiaowan came to welcome her and Susu said in shock: ”Why are you on the ground? You should be lying on the bed.
”I'm fine, I …” Xiaowan didn't know how to explain the situation, but Susu had already walked to the cradle's side, holding onto the cradle while smiling happily, ”You really are a big fat son, no wonder you looked like you were born seven or eight months old. No wonder you worked so hard.”
The Xiaowan said embarrassedly: ”Yes, I am so tired of living.”
Although his complexion was not good, but he did not look like a person who had just passed away. She felt that it was a little strange, so she reached out to hug the child, Xiaowan said: ”He, he just fell asleep, it's time to make trouble again after he wakes up. Susu, hug him later.”
”Alright, I still don't know how to carry a child.” Susu laughed, she extended her hand and teased the sleeping child, and when the little child saw that his head was wrapped up tightly, he reached out to move it away, saying, ”Your house is burning with coal, isn't it too tightly wrapped?”
”Susu...” The Xiaowan exclaimed in shock, but Susu had already flipped open the corner of the baby.
When he saw the pair of horns in front of him, Xiaowan's heart almost jumped out. The child in the cradle also woke up as he looked at Susu with his round eyes.
But Susu didn't seem to be surprised, she smiled happily: ”Little darling, you're awake. You know that your aunt is here, right? ”When did you come? Your aunt couldn't even pick you up, so why don't you hug her? Why don't you hug her?”
