Chapter 234 The Baby Is Coming... (2/2)
”Put it down!” A Miao saw the little fellow struggling with its short legs. ”It is not feeling well.”
Wei Meng took over the fluttering little fellow. ”Recently I have been busy with it. Its mother had a difficult delivery and died after giving birth to three cubs. The other two brothers are all right, and the only sister is the thinnest.”
”That's it?” He Shishi poked it.
”I smuggled it out.”
Shen Xinglan stared at Wei Meng: ”What did you do?”
Everyone nodded, and they saw Wei Meng's eyes roll.
”Mengmeng saved it! Mengmeng is awesome!” Only Ding V was buttering up, like a dog wagging its tail.
Wei Meng put the little fellow on the cradle. It sniffed everywhere and ran to little Chu Bai's face and then lay there motionless.
”Ouch!” A Miao clutched at her chest. ”It's so cute. It likes Chu Bai.”
”It was bitten by its brother when they were about ten days old, and it had no breath at that time...” Wei Meng paused, ”Try last resort to save the hopeless situation, so I injected it with some... medicine.”
Le Yi frowned. ”What was the medicine?”
”You won't understand even if I tell you.” Wei Meng said with a tone as if she considered them as illiterate persons. ”Anyway, if you raise it from an early age, it won't hurt anybody. There is no big difference in raising one child or two…”
He Shishi giggled and said, ”Can that be the same? Why don't you raise it yourself?
”I can't help but dissect it for research.”
Others, ”...”
Chu Bai, who had been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and began to stare at the thing on his body.
”If you don't want to raise it, then I...” A Miao raised her hand secretly.
Shen Xinglan pulled her hand down: ”No, we are having a daughter.”
A Miao pouted her mouth.
”Keep it!” Ling Lang decided.
Wei Meng nodded with a poker face. ”Then give me some money. I'll buy a specimen and return it to the zoo.”
Others, ”...”
So, when Chu Bai was one month old, the little boy had a playmate as old as him. As for its name, Ling Lang said that Chu Bai should name it himself in the future. A Miao admired that and talked about it for a long time until Ouyang Jin came back.
”Are you all right?” A Miao looked at him.
After more than a month's absence, Ouyang Jin looked barely changed.
”Do I look bad?” Ouyang Jin smiled. ”It's all right. Everything's settled.”
A Miao looked at him suspiciously. ”Have you killed Chi Ling for real?” She made a gesture around her neck.
”No way.” Shen Xinglan helped her sit down. ”Let's listen to Ouyang's words slowly.”
Ouyang Jin shook his hair at the opposite side. ”In fact, it's really simple!”
When Shen Xinglan and others left, Ouyang Jin was sitting impatiently in his chair listening to Chi Ling crying.
”Are you still mad at me?” Chi Ling changed to a thin nightdress with suspenders and stood by the window, looking at him. Her snow-white breasts fluctuated in the moonlight. She intentionally heaved them up and said, ”The wound on my face will soon heal, and then you won't dislike me.”
Seeing Ouyang Jin remain silent, Chi Ling stepped forward a few steps to touch him. Ouyang Jin stood up and walked to the other side.
”I'll give you two choices, either tell the patriarch that our ceremony today doesn't count. Or... I will kill you.”
Chi Ling stared at him and asked, ”You... what did you say?”
Ouyang Jin smiled, ”Don't you understand?”
”Are you doing this for He Shishi?” Chi Ling looked at him sadly. ”But you like me, don't you?”
Ouyang Jin suddenly looked at her with a strange look, and Chi Ling stepped back for two steps. ”What... what's wrong?”
”It's not surprising that you can like someone and then don't. The last time when others hung me above the sea, I have already traded my life for yours. You and I are even now.”
Chi Ling shook her head in a panic. ”I don't understand what you mean. Last time... Wasn't you all right last time? He Shishi won't really kill you.”
”But I'll kill you now.” Ouyang Jin said, opening the bamboo door. ”I'll wait till the road builders come, and you'll give me the answer then.”
”Stop!” Chi Ling ran to the door. ”Aren't you afraid I'll tell the patriarch?”
Ouyang Jin replied without turning around. ”Go ahead. Now she is the one who asks me for help.”
”And then?” A Miao asked, ”Did she give up?”
Ouyang Jin shrugged. ”She went to see the patriarch, and I told the patriarch very politely that I had nothing to do with her at all. But the patriarch suggested that I could cultivate a relationship with her. So I gave her a choice between me and a road and a dam.”
”Chief A Ka probably don't know there is such a thing as a breach of contract in the world.” Shen Xinglan sneered. ”We thought there were vermin poisons in the stockaded village. That was why we were a little cautious...”
Ouyang Jin stretched. ”Yes! Under the eyes of the whole village, A Ka, as a patriarch, naturally dares not to act wrongly out of personal considerations.”
”Didn't Chi Ling say she wanted to follow you when you left?”
”She couldn't give up her face.” A sarcastic look flashed across Ouyang Jin's eyes. But then he changed his expression again. ”But I got the prescription from the patriarch. Later... you can give it to Shishi!”
A Miao nodded and was about to say something. However, she abruptly let out a cry.
”What's wrong?” Shen Xinglan looked at her nervously.
”It seems that... It looks like the baby is coming.”
