“Ghost babies?”
Bai Bing and Li Jiafu looked at each other.
This was the first time they had heard of it.
“Little Ye, what is a ghost baby?”Li Jiafu asked curiously.
Ye Qiu replied, “There are three types of ghost babies in the world.”
“The first one is when the mother who is the mother originally had a foetus, because the foetus is not formed or has not been formed for long, the foetus’ soul is not accepted in the netherworld, and the soul of the dead foetus is not extinguished, and it turns into a small ghost and hides beside the mother.”
“When the mother carries the foetus again, this little ghost will forcefully occupy the new baby’s body to feel the warmth of the mother.”
“And the mother will, because of the evil energy entering her body, at first experience abdominal pains, then gradually become mentally deranged, and finally turn into a complete and utter psychopath.”
“The second type of ghost baby is when a little ghost in the netherworld accidentally commits a criminal offence, enters the cycle of reincarnation, and is finally reincarnated.”
“There’s also another way of saying that a soul that was originally from the animal path accidentally entered the humane reincarnation and was cursed by the heavens, which is also called a ghost baby.”
After listening to this, Li Jiafu said with a sullen face, “Little Ye, it’s the twenty-first century now, why are you still engaging in that set of feudal superstitions?”
Ye Qiu said, “Director Li, there are some things that one would rather believe than not believe.”
“Believe what you want to believe, I don’t believe it anyway.”Li Jiafu turned his head to Bai Bing and said, “Vice President Bai, let’s find a way to persuade the patient’s family to hurry up and sign.”
Bai Bing did not make a sound.
Li Jiafu continued, “The patient’s situation is critical, if we don’t operate, it will be too late.”
“Ye Qiu, do you have a solution?”Bai Bing asked.
Although she also felt that the ghost baby story was too ridiculous, she was subconsciously willing to choose to believe Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu asked Bai Bing in return, “Are you asking about the woman in labour, or the ghost baby in her stomach?”
“Of course I’m talking about the woman in labour.”Bai Bing said, “The experts in the obstetrics department have already examined it, the baby in her stomach is already dead ……”
“The baby isn’t dead, it’s still alive.”Ye Qiu didn’t wait for Bai Bing to finish his sentence and said.
“Alive?”Bai Bing froze and glanced at Li Jiafu.
Li Jiafu was a bit displeased and said, “Little Ye, what do you mean? Are you questioning our test results?”
“I examined the mother together with several experts from the obstetrics department, and the results showed that the baby had stopped its heartbeat.”
“If you don’t believe me, then I can show you the examination report.”
“Director Li, I’m not questioning the results of your examination, the reason why this happened is entirely because she was carrying a ghost baby in her stomach.”
Ye Qiu said, “Ghost babies are different from ordinary babies, ghost babies can survive even if their heartbeat stops.”
“That’s impossible, I’ve never encountered such a thing in all the years I’ve been in obstetrics. A situation like what you’re talking about is simply not in line with science.”
Li Jiafu didn’t believe Ye Qiu’s words, and even, in his heart, he was cursing Ye Qiu for talking nonsense.
Ye Qiu said, “Director Li, there are a lot of things in the world that cannot be explained by science in the first place, such as the Samsung Pile civilisation, the Forbidden City Psychic Incident, and the Beijing City Bus Incident to name a few ……”
“That’s different.”Li Jiafu interrupted Ye Qiu and said, “Now we are discussing maternity and babies, human medicine. I’ve worked in obstetrics for most of my life, do I not even know basic medical common sense? A baby without a heartbeat is medically no more foetal movement, how can it still be alive?”
He only almost said to Ye Qiu, “Are you an obstetrics expert, or am I an expert?
Ye Qiu laughed bitterly, “Director Li, I’m not questioning your medical level, it’s just that ghost babies are really different from unusual babies.”
“Ye Qiu, if it’s true that the baby is still alive like you said, then do you have any way to ensure that both the baby and the mother are safe?”Bai Bing asked again.
Ye Qiu nodded, “I have a way.”
“Then you do it.”Bai Bing made an instant decision.
Li Jiafu hurriedly said, “Vice President Bai, please think twice, in case something goes wrong ……”
“I’ll be responsible if something goes wrong.”
“Vice President Bai, I’m not worried about the question of who is responsible if something goes wrong, I’m worried about the woman in labour. She’s in a bad situation, all her vital signs are dropping, if she’s not careful, there’s a risk of death, human life is at stake!”
“Director Li, you don’t have to worry, if Ye Qiu says there is a way, there is naturally a way.”
Li Jiafu glanced at Bai Bing in shock, never expecting that Bai Bing would be so trusting of Ye Qiu.
“Little Ye, how are you going to treat it?”Li Jiafu asked cautiously.
Ye Qiu said, “Director Li, I have my own treatment, but I still need to trouble you to help call the mother’s husband in.”
“What’s the point of calling him in? Isn’t this adding to the chaos?”Li Jiafu said, “This woman in labour’s husband doesn’t believe us at all, he’s been making a fuss for no reason ……”
“Director Li, do what Ye Qiu said.”
Bai Bing interrupted Li Jiafu’s words and gave a direct order.
Li Jiafu had no choice but to say, “Little Ye, I can call in the people for you, but Little Ye, you have to be psychologically prepared, this woman in labour’s husband is very cross and not easy to deal with.”
“It will be fine.”Ye Qiu laughed.
Only then did Li Jiafu go out to call the maternal husband.
Thirty seconds later, the youth came in.
“Wife, how are you?”The youth shook the woman in labour a few times and saw that she was unconscious, then he looked at Li Jiafu angrily and roared, “What’s wrong with my wife? Did you guys give her some medicine that shouldn’t be used?”
“Your wife’s body is in a bit of a condition, it’s critical now.”Ye Qiu said.
Hearing this, the youth said angrily, “If my wife has any consequences, I want you guys to pay for her life.”
“Compensate for your life? That’s impossible.”Ye Qiu said, “With me here, she can’t die. I called you in because the foetus in your wife’s stomach is still alive.”
“The foetus is still alive?”
The youth froze and asked Li Jiafu, “Didn’t you say that the foetus has no heartbeat and is dead?”
Li Jiafu was silent as he didn’t know how to explain.
“The thing is.”Ye Qiu picked up the words and said, “Although the foetus is still alive, this foetus cannot be kept.”
“Can’t be kept? What do you mean?”The youth was confused by the words.
“I can’t tell you clearly in a few words, let’s do it this way, let your wife give birth to the baby, as for whether to keep it or not, you guys will decide for yourselves at that time, do you think it’s okay?”Ye Qiu said.
“It’s okay.”The youth agreed in one mouthful.
“Then I will induce labour for your wife now.”After Ye Qiu finished speaking, his right index finger and middle finger came together and drew a hypnosis talisman on the spot, striking it into the woman’s body.
One minute later.
“Ah ……”
Suddenly, the woman in labour on the hospital bed opened her eyes violently and screamed in pain.
“Doctor, my wife she ……”
“Zhen!”
Ye Qiu pointed a finger at the centre of the mother’s eyebrows, and instantly, the mother stopped screaming in pain.
After about five minutes or so, the baby was born.
The moment they saw the baby, other than Ye Qiu, the other few people present all looked terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.
