C89

At 3: 15 in the morning, in the corridor of the hospital, I was holding the test form of the woman who had examined my body. I was staring at Shen Tuo, not knowing what to do.

I feel that this test form has seriously damaged the dignity of the major I am currently studying!

This woman had clearly just given birth to a child on the train, so why was it written on the checklist that she was still nine months pregnant? And since it had already been nine months, even if she hadn't been born at the same time on the train, it wasn't impossible. But why couldn't she see that she was pregnant at all?

She was even smaller than I was, and there was no sign of a bulge in her belly.

Was the examination result wrong?

That shouldn't be.

The doctor who examined her was specially sent by the police station and was only responsible for her. Furthermore, the result of her pregnancy was determined by blood sampling. It wasn't some pregnancy test paper, so there shouldn't be any fake pregnancy.

Then, what was going on?

Shen Tuo lit up another cigarette and said: "Perhaps that child on the train really has nothing to do with her?"

"Brother Shen!" Just as Shen Tuo finished speaking, Li Ke, who had just went back to the police station to retrieve his documents, hurriedly walked out from the staircase with a serious expression.

Li Ke walked up to us, took out two test forms from his bag and said, "Based on the blood stains taken from the train and the results of the test on this woman's blood, we can confirm that she was the one who gave birth to the child."

That is to say, what Shen Tuo said may or may not be true. All the better outcomes listed based on this hypothesis are not true at all.

I gave the test report in my hand to Li Ke, who took out a small notebook from his pocket and said to me, "Yan Nuo, this is the information you gave me when I said I wanted to draw a portrait. I've also compared it with her."

I nodded and grunted.

"The clue right now is that this woman is the mother of that child. What else is there?"

I don't think I've ever been tortured like this before, even when I was learning about human structure. I think if this case is over, I might be able to get a job as a doctor or go to the police station to solve a case.

Shen Tuo took a deep breath and threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground to be extinguished. He said to Li Ke first, "Li Ke, you go back to the station first. The station will definitely be very busy tonight. I'll be fine here."

Li Ke nodded and passed the information kit to Shen Tuo. Then, he quickly left the hospital.

Shen Tuo once again turned his head to look at me, saying, "That woman is only in a light coma. She should wake up soon. Taking advantage of the situation, I have something to tell you."

It was this gaze again, and it was probably about my child. I raised my head and looked into Shen Ta's eyes, saying: "If you want to talk about my child's problem, then don't talk about it. I won't beat him up!"

Shen Tuo stared at me. After a long time, he sighed and said, "If you really want to keep him, then so be it!" Shen Tuo's eyes suddenly turned cold as he said: "If this child's existence threatens you and other people's safety, I definitely won't let him live!"

Logically speaking, I should be thanking him, but I really can't say it out loud. Not for anything else, just thinking about how I have to rely on human blood to survive in the future makes me feel like I won't be able to live much longer.

After hesitating for a while, I still said to Shen Tuo: "Shen Tuo, thank you. You are right, but I feel that I might not be able to give birth to him safely."

Shen Tuo took two steps back and leaned against the wall of the corridor. He once again took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but did not light it up.

"If you're talking about blood, you can try using other blood, pig's blood, goat's blood, and cow's blood. Although no human blood is of much use to you, at least it can help you maintain the nutrition your body needs."

I was stunned for a moment. After a long while, my heart suddenly surged with excitement. I couldn't control my emotions for a moment and grabbed onto Shen Tuo's sleeve, "Is what you said true?"

Shen Ta glanced at me and suddenly asked, "How are you feeling right now?"

"I'm fine!"

He didn't feel like his blood was filled with bugs or parched. Even though he smelled the sweet and greasy scent of human blood in the hospital, he didn't feel like jumping into that room to drink it.

Shen Tuo said, "Today, when we just returned from Ling Dong's eastern district, I gave you a bowl of goat's blood. If you think it's okay, then it's not a problem."

I was so happy that I almost cried.

He could finally stop drinking human blood and endure the pain of being eaten by thousands of bugs!

I looked at Shen Tuo and said: "Shen Tuo, thank you."

This was what I wanted to say the most, and what I wanted to express the most. As the mother of a child, it is only natural for me to defend my own child. But Shen Tuo is different. He is a police officer and a Taoist as well. No matter how you look at it, he has no reason to help me. It's an uncertain factor for the world. I don't know what my child will look like when he is born, whether he will be a murderous demon or not.

However, Shen Ta actually told me to keep my child.

Perhaps, in this lifetime, I will have to owe Shen Tuo a big favor.

Shen Ta slapped my hand away from his sleeve and turned away from me. He lit the cigarette in his mouth and inhaled sharply, a pinch of ash blowing out from his back and landing on my clothes.

"Let's go to the ward and take a look. That person should be awake by now." As Shen Tuo said this, he already opened the door to the ward and walked in first.

I followed.

Sure enough, that woman had already woken up. She was staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, her gaze filled with a scary hollowness.

She heard us open the door, her eyes still fixed on the ceiling, her voice hoarse. "Can you save me?"

I was surprised by the meaning of her words, but even more surprised by the tone of her voice.

It was originally a question, but she calmly spoke it out, as if she had already repeated it countless times, but she had never received a reply.

Shen Tuo pulled a chair out from the bed and placed it in front of me, letting me sit down. He went to the window and looked out, then took out a charm from his pocket and stuck it on the window.

"Little girl, are you willing to save me?" The woman turned her head to look at me.

I was stunned by her question. Because there was something wrong with her body that Zhao Xue mentioned, when this woman suddenly mentioned that she wanted to save her, I didn't know how to save her for a while. Thus, there was no reply for a long time.

The woman turned her head back, still staring at the ceiling, as if talking to herself, and said: "Only you can save me, will you?"

To tell the truth, I was reluctant, because the bloody scene I saw on the train was like a fixed picture that flashed in my mind every now and then. Sometimes on the road, when I saw a baby in its cradle, I would think of the baby that was strangled, and I would unconsciously curse the irresponsible mother in my heart. But now, this woman who was supposed to be brought to justice was actually calling for help.

"You said she's the only one who can save you? What do you mean? Did you come looking for her on purpose? " Shen Tuo walked over from the window and asked.

After Shen Tuo said that, the woman nodded her head and gave me a blank stare.

He asked Shen Tuo, "What do you mean?"

Shen Tuo threw the cigarette away, "Literally." He said you were the only one who could save her. Didn't you hear me? "

Naturally, I heard this. I thought maybe she thought I was younger and easier to talk to, so she didn't think too much about it. But now, it seems, she didn't.

The woman looked at Shen Tuo, then turned her head towards me and said: "I know what you guys want to ask. I will tell you now, but this matter might sound inconceivable."

Shen Tuo walked back to the window, turned around and leaned on it, "Go ahead."

Only then did the woman take a deep breath and begin her story.

This woman was called Yang Xu, 27 years old. She was Zhang Yang's mother, and before Zhang Yang died, she had a child, Zhang Tong. She was a very beautiful girl, and if she was still alive, she was 10 years old.

Yang Xu said that after she became pregnant, she quit his job and gave birth to a baby at home. After having just given birth to Zhang Tong, he broke up with his boyfriend not long after having cheated on him.

The man had left home, leaving Yang Xu and little Zhang Tong behind. The mother and daughter had lost their source of income.

She didn't want to work at the company, so she went to a bar to drink with him. At that time, she really liked this business, she didn't have to work very hard, and she didn't even have to work nine to five days every day. Furthermore, she didn't even have to work on time after having a fixed number of customers.

While she was drunk and dreaming, one of Yang Xu's regular clients, a 40-year-old boss, fell in love with her and wanted to marry her.

Yang Xu seemed to recall a very happy event, his hoarse voice that was just a moment ago gradually becoming clearer.

"He said he likes me, wants to be with me, wants to marry me, makes me happy for the rest of my life, and then has a child!" Just as her clear voice faded away, her voice became choked with sobs. "He said he likes children and wants to have a child with me. I was afraid that he would know that I would not want me after taking the child with me, so I lied to him."

Yang Xu told that man that she was single and childless, always living alone. In order to prove it, she even tied up Little Tongtong's hands and feet, bandaged her mouth, and hid it in the big wardrobe in the bedroom. Then, he let that man go to her house to see that she was indeed living alone.

They had spent the night in the bedroom, and she had been tied up in the closet. The next morning, the two got out of bed. As Yang Xu was still in a daze from sleep, he forgot about Tongtong's situation in the wardrobe and went straight to open it. Then, Tongtong rolled out of the wardrobe.

"He saw Tongtong, but he didn't scold me. On the contrary, he comforted me, he said that she's just a little girl, he loves little girls the most, he will take good care of Tongtong and me, I was especially touched at that time, I thought he finally found a good man."

They loosened their bonds for Tongtong, and the man even took the mother and daughter pair to have a big meal and buy clothes for Tongtong. He treated Tongtong like she was a treasure, even Yang Xu had never seen him this gentle.

The three of them were happy for a long time. Yang Xu also married the man and got pregnant very quickly.

However, while Yang Xu was pregnant, the tragedy began.
