Chapter 34
SuZhou City Yuan District Hospital, Emergency Department.
After getting the contact information of the midwife, Lian Xi hurriedly took a taxi and left.
As soon as he left, Sister Qin smiled and took the fruits and bird nest and returned to her clinic cheerfully. On his side, the intern Wang ZiHao also turned around and prepared to go back to his department. However before he could leave, he suddenly heard a hoarse roar from outside the emergency room.
“Doctor, doctor!”
Wang ZiHao looked back.
Outside the emergency room, a young man with yellow hair was holding a girl in a dress. They got out of the taxi and ran towards the emergency room. The young man screamed “Doctor!” tearfully and rushed into the hospital. When he ran in, bright lights shone on him and the girl in his arms. Wang ZiHao heard a patient’s family who was queuing to pay the bill beside him exclaim, “Why is there so much blood!”
Underneath the light, the yellow-haired guy was sweaty with anxiety and his eyes were red. The girl in his arms closed her eyes, her face was pale, her cheeks and lips were bloodless. Her black skirt didn’t show blood well and you couldn’t see how much blood was stained. But the dark brown blood flowed down the girl’s calf and kept running down it. As they made their way inside, the blood flowed the entire way, from outside the emergency building to inside, creating marks on the floor.
Wang ZiHao ran up quickly: “What’s the matter!”
The yellow- haired guy trembled with a trembling throat and was so scared that the preamble was followed by the trembling words : “She, she is pregnant and we were shopping. Yes, shopping. She suddenly fell down. She bled… a lot of blood… a lot of blood!”
The doctor in the emergency room was called over and after checking the situation, his face was serious: “Push her into the operating room immediately and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to find the doctor on duty!”
The girl was carried in by the nurses. When she got on the stretcher bed, the yellow-haired guy suddenly slumped onto the ground.
The doctors all rushed in.
“Heavy bleeding! She’s only been pregnant for a few months. Why is there heavy bleeding? The amount of bleeding is too much, at least 600ml. Go to the blood bank!”
“What is the patient’s blood type!”
“What is your wife’s blood type?”
Yellow Hair was stunned and said stupidly: “It’s not a wife, girlfriend…”
Yellow Hair: “Who cares if she’s your girlfriend or wife, what blood type is she?!”
Yellow Hair: “Ah, blood type…I, I don’t know…”
The nurse was anxious: “You don’t even know the blood type of your girlfriend when she’s about to give birth for you!”
The doctors and nurses in the emergency department were busy. Many patients and family members who watched the excitement also looked at Yellow Hair sitting on the ground and the girl who was pushed into the operating room. They pointed their fingers.
“Just at first sight, you can tell these two are delinquents. The woman is pregnant and has a piercing in her mouth.”
“There are tattoos on her arms!”
The patient was pushed into the operating room and then the emergency department and obstetrics and gynecology department got to work.
But just based on the amount of bleeding that the pregnant woman had just now, the child must have passed away long ago. Now it was her own life that was in danger.
Wang ZiHao is just an ordinary intern. Looking at the rush of doctors and nurses, he walked towards the elevator and planned to return to the oral surgery department.
However, as soon as he left, a horrified scream suddenly came from behind him. Wang ZiHao turned his head to look, his face changed suddenly. He ran back.
Wang ZiHao: “Pull the stretcher over, and get him a lung CT and gastroscope!”
“Here, here!” The two nurses hurriedly pushed the stretcher over.
“Oh, why is that yellow hair vomiting blood too.”
“What the hell, vomiting so much blood? Are you sure he doesn’t have an infectious disease?”
They saw the yellow hair delinquent sitting on the ground just now collapse to the ground suddenly. He began to convulse and vomit blood.
After Wang ZiHao performed a basic check-up, the doctor in the emergency room came out to take his place. “Thanks, you can go back to your clinic, I’m here. Hey you, is the CT ready? How about the lungs…”
Wang ZiHao turned and left.
When he walked out of the emergency room door, something crunched under his feet as he’d stepped on something.
Wang ZiHao lifted his shoes.
He stepped on the blood vomited by the yellow hair just now.
A small black bug that was trampled struggling and twitching in a pool of blood. Wang ZiHao frowned and stomped on his feet again, trampling the bug to death.
Why is there still this kind of insect in the hospital now?
The young trainee intern into the elevator with his hands in his pockets. He didn’t pay attention. After he turned around, the little black worm that died in a pool of blood suddenly twitched twice. As he walked into the elevator, the next second, the little black bug flew up with a whistle noise and flew into his nostril at a speed that the naked eye could hardly detect.
“Ugh..”
Wang ZiHao pinched his nose.
“There’s something….” The elevator door closed slowly.
The emergency department of the Yuan Hospital was noisy at night. The sirens of the ambulance and the calls of the patients one after another, became the only melody ringing through the night.
***
Sister Hong: “Your grandfather and I are old friends, so when you were born, I specially adjusted my shift so I could deliver you. At that time, your mother had dystocia and a hemorrhage and your father kept crying outside the operating room. You had just been born. You didn’t cry and had your eyes closed so were all frightened, thinking that you had a dystocia in the birth canal for a long time and that you were going to be stillborn. Then I gave your tender butt a hard hit…”
Lian Xi: “……” You can skip over this, at least you don’t need to add this adjective.
Sister Hong: “Then all of a sudden you cried and opened your eyes. But at this time, your little fist, which was tightly clenched, also loosened. Then there was a click and something fell to the ground. Everyone saw it. So I didn’t know what to say. So I could only say that I gave it to you and stuffed it in your little fist and that seemed to fool them.”
Lian Xi came out of Sister Hong’s house and walked in a trance through the community, with noisy square dance music ringing in his ears.
He glanced at the small square blankly.
Oh, Sister Hong’s wave of people had already finished up and now a group of old men were dancing the square dance.
In the past half an hour, Lian Xi’s worldview has been severely impacted.
His grandfather and father have already passed away. Now Sister Hong is the only one who remembered his birth.
It was the first time in all of Lian Xi’s 23 years that he’d heard the story of being born with a bell in his hands.
His father did not tell him, nor did his grandfather. Until now, he had no idea that the bell was not given to him by the old nurse but had been tightly held in the palm of his hand when he was born.
Lian Xi raised his hand and looked at the plain and heavy bronze bell on his wrist.
“What the hell are you?”
The little bell made a clear noise without any wind.
According to Sister Hong, other than Sister Hong, his father and grandfather also knew about him being born with a bell in his hand. But they hid it and didn’t tell him.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration in Lian Xi’s mind.
Wait, when he was young, his father kept telling him that there was a secret that he would tell him when he became an adult. Could it be that the secret was born when he held a bell in his hand? !
Lian Xi calmed down.
The possibility was quite high.
SuZhou City’s White Reaper suddenly died more than ten years ago. He is 23 years old this year. Although he was born with a bell in his hand, Lian Xi believed that the White Reaper’s absenteeism must have nothing to do with him. Because there was a difference of ten years. When he was born, SuZhou City’s White Reaper was still alive.
At first, Lian Xi was worried about what the secret his father said that he had to tell him when was an adult was. His father died unexpectedly before he could tell him.
If his father was the White Reaper, then the White Reaper may have been passed down ancestrally. His father may have planned to let him inherit the position of White Reaper when he became an adult but had an accident and passed away before he could say anything.
But now he breathed a sigh of relief.
The bell was there from birth and has been around for twenty-three years.
SuZhou City’s White Reaper died more than ten years ago and he has been dead for ten or so years.
He is definitely not SuZhou City’s White Reaper who is absent from work.
His dad is definitely not the previous SuZhou City’s White Reaper
In other words…my dad is definitely not gay!
He felt comfortable now.
Lian Xi took out his cell phone, called a taxi and went home.
After returning home, he saw Su Jiao sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds and watching TV dramas. Lie Chen was leaning against a corner and looked down at the reaper record.
When the two heard the door, they all looked up at Lian Xi.
The handsome young man changed his shoes and shook the plastic bag in his hand: “I bought some cold skin noodles for supper, do you want some? And also, there’s something I need to ask for your help on.”
Lian Xi has something to ask me for help? Su Jiao’s eyes lit up: “What’s the matter?”
Lie Chen raised an eyebrow: You need something?
The three of them sat at the dining table and split three bowls of cold skin noodles bought by Lian Xi.
President Lie held his chopsticks and frowned while staring at the white ribbon noodles in front of him for a long time.
Lian Xi: “Eat, we can chat while we eat.”
The Black Reaper placed his chopsticks into the noodles blankly and took just one bite. The corners of his mouth twitched and he put down his chopsticks coldly.
Lian Xi: “???” There are people in the world who don’t like to eat cold skin noodles?
Oh, you said you weren’t human, so whatever.
Lian Xi: “I found the old nurse who delivered me today. Do you still remember, I said that when I was a child, my dad told me that my bronze bell was given to me by an old nurse.”
Su Jiao was full of mouthfuls of chili oil: “I remember.”
Lian Xi: “I found her today.” After a pause, Lian Xi’s voice was serious: “But she told me that she didn’t give me a bell. This bell was held in my hand when I was born. She said she gave it to me as she didn’t want to arouse other people’s suspicions. So Su Jiao,” Lian Xi looked at the short roommate,”You’re a XuanXiu, have you heard of someone being born with a magic weapon in their hand?”
Su Jiao froze in mid-air while eating cold noodles. His eyes widened: “A natural magic weapon?!”
Lian Xi was surprised: “Such a thing does exist?”
Su Jiao said, “In novels. Look at that Jia BaoYu. Wasn’t he a god in his previous life? Then he reincarnated as Jia BaoYu. That’s why he was born with a piece of jade in his mouth. No way, no, you wouldn’t be a god would you?”
Lian Xi : “…”
You’re Lian LinDang. Your entire family is Lian LinDang!
He was stupid to believe that Su Jiao would have any idea. Lian Xi looked at Lie Chen: “Lord Black Reaper, have you ever heard of this situation before?”
Lie Chen raised his eyes and looked at him: “Yes.”
Lian Xi “?”
Lie Chen: “The companion magical artifact of a ghost official will naturally accompany them, just like this one.” After he spoke, the Black Reaper’s finger moved and a golden skin and purple light book appeared in the palm of his hands.
Lian Xi: “… What if it is not the companion artifact of White Reaper?”
“Oh, then I’ve never heard of it.”
“…”
Su Jiao had already gobbled down his bowl of noodles. He wiped his mouth. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you ask my shishu. I’m not good at learning and I don’t understand many things but my shishu is awesome. He might know. I’ll call him now and ask him.”
Lian Xi immediately sat up straight.
Su Jiao took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
Five seconds later.
Su Jiao: “It’s strange, why doesn’t shishu answer the phone.”
Twenty seconds later.
Su Jiao: “He went to play mahjong and didn’t bring his mobile phone?”
No one answered the call. Su Jiao raised his head and said, “It’s okay. He will definitely go home to watch the Golden Eagle channel at 10 o’clock. He likes to watch a family TV series that’s recently being aired. He doesn’t even want to miss one episode.”
Two hours later.
Su Jiao holding his mobile phone: “…”
Su Jiao: “It’s over, my shishu is missing! No, Lian Xi, I’m going back to ShanDong. There must be something the matter with my shishu!”
Lian Xi: “Why don’t you ask his neighbours or ask relatives and friends to visit his place?”
Su Jiao wanted to cry without tears: “My shishu is No. 1 at antagonizing his entire community. Don’t talk about relatives or friends, he’d be lucky if a person walking by him on the street is not his enemy! It’s over. It must be someone my shishu quarreled with. They couldn’t stand it and decided to act. I have to go back and see!”
Lian Xi: “Um, it’s just a phone call…”
Su Jiao suddenly had a thought, “Why don’t I go to the police station? Ask the QuFu police to help me check if my shishu is at home. It’s a good idea”
Lian Xi: “When you go to the train station, remember to bring your ID card. Go slowly and don’t rush into things.”
Lian Xi just said this casually. He didn’t expect that Su Jiao would actually pack his suitcase overnight and leave just like this.
“You don’t understand, my shishu was really beaten by someone before. It was a horrible group fight in a small alley!”
Lian Xi: “…”
In the middle of the night, his roommate dragged his suitcase and ran away. The other roommate didn’t even lift his eyelids, leaning on the back of the chair and continuing to flip through the reaper record.
Only Lian Xi stood silently in the wind.
The clock on the wall is ticking.
Suddenly, the hour hand points to 12 o’clock.
The black-clothed man stood up suddenly: “Let’s go catch ghosts.”
Lian Xi was taken aback: “Huh?”
Lie Chen looked at him and said, “Do you want to be lazy again?”
“You said, after twelve o’clock, we’d go to catch ghosts.”
Lian Xi: “Oh yes.”
The matter of being born with a bell in his hand was temporarily put aside.
In the evening breeze, SuZhou City’s two reapers went downstairs again and embarked on the difficult journey of accumulating performance points and climbing the rankings.
They were really lucky to defeat WuXi’s ghost official in one go. But this time if they wanted to defeat JinHua, it was no longer so easy. The two searched for four hours but by 4AM they had only caught five ghosts and gained 450 points.
Lian Xi opened the performance rankings.
23rd place, JinHua Zhejiang Province with a performance of 8534 points.
24th place, SuZhou City, Jiangsu Province with a performance of 4923 points.
25th’s place WuXi, Jiangsu Province, with a performance of 4,510 points.
Lian Xi said: “The ghost officials in WuXi really don’t work hard at all!”
President Lie’s gaze went all the way up and looked straight at the first line. He said nonchalantly, “Where is WenZhou? Is it far from here?”
Lian Xi: “?”
Lie Chen looked at him: “Should we go to WenZhou to hunt ghosts?”
Lian Xi: “…”
You are only second to last and you want to grab jobs from the first place?
Can you take a look at the third from the bottom first!
His colleague was eating from his bowl while staring at the pot. Lian Xi was speechless. He was about to speak when suddenly, in the evening breeze, a sharp and angry sneer sounded: “Heh, so if SuZhou’s ghosts are all finished, you plan to go to WenZhou to catch ghosts?”
Lian Xi’s eyes narrowed. He quickly looked around and lifted the bell on his wrist in preparation.
Lie Chen also frowned and looked around.
They heard the cynical sound coming from all directions, it was impossible to pinpoint where it was coming from.
The person seemed to be gritting their teeth and saying word by word.
“Isn’t SuZhou City big enough for you to catch ghosts?”
“Isn’t SuZhou City big enough?”
“SuZhou City is twice the size of WuXi!”
“SuZhou City’s population is also twice as big as WuXi !!!”
Lian Xi: “???” Wait a second, something was weird.
This resentful curse was carried by the evening breeze, drifting so far that people could not hear his true voice. But when this person got extremely angry, he finally forgot to hide his real voice, revealing a childish voice that had not yet completely matured. It still had an adolescent croak to it.
“You don’t even let a dog go…”
“You don’t even let a dog go ah!!!”
“Are you still human!!!”

SuZhou City Yuan District Hospital, Emergency Department.
After getting the contact information of the midwife, Lian Xi hurriedly took a taxi and left.

Lie Chen looked at him: “Should we go to WenZhou to hunt ghosts?”
Lian Xi: “…”
You are only second to last and you want to grab jobs from the first place?
Can you take a look at the third from the bottom first!
His colleague was eating from his bowl while staring at the pot. Lian Xi was speechless. He was about to speak when suddenly, in the evening breeze, a sharp and angry sneer sounded: “Heh, so if SuZhou’s ghosts are all finished, you plan to go to WenZhou to catch ghosts?”
Lian Xi’s eyes narrowed. He quickly looked around and lifted the bell on his wrist in preparation.
Lie Chen also frowned and looked around.
They heard the cynical sound coming from all directions, it was impossible to pinpoint where it was coming from.
The person seemed to be gritting their teeth and saying word by word.
“Isn’t SuZhou City big enough for you to catch ghosts?”
“Isn’t SuZhou City big enough?”
“SuZhou City is twice the size of WuXi!”
“SuZhou City’s population is also twice as big as WuXi !!!”
Lian Xi: “???” Wait a second, something was weird.
This resentful curse was carried by the evening breeze, drifting so far that people could not hear his true voice. But when this person got extremely angry, he finally forgot to hide his real voice, revealing a childish voice that had not yet completely matured. It still had an adolescent croak to it.
“You don’t even let a dog go…”
“You don’t even let a dog go ah!!!”
“Are you still human!!!”
