Even if they don't communicate with each other, the three of them know that they can't make a sound now. They hold their breath together and watch the monster bride running around.
Seeing this scene, Li Huixi's heartbeat rang out again:
"She's looking for something."
"For a newborn...what does it need most?"
"Newborn...nourishment?"
"No wonder the groom is hiding."
"You mean...she can also eat people?"
"Doesn't she look like she can't eat people now..."
Finally, the speed of the monster bride began to slow down, and she slowly stopped in front of the statue.
Sure enough, the bride's body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, even though the body originally had little nutrients left. The human face on the belly became more and more obvious.
Not long after, the bride's body shrank into a mummy, and even the whites of her eyes shrank into black balls.
The belly is getting more and more bulging, and something is about to burst out of the body.
The belly was stretched thinner and thinner. After reaching a critical value, the thing in the belly tore the skin and crawled out of the bride's body, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. However, the baby that emerged from the body was directly The mother's body is trampled under her feet, and the bride's intestines and organs can be vaguely seen, having been drained of nutrients.
The moment the body was broken, the rotten smell permeated the entire main hall. Chen Chichi, who was in the room, immediately frowned after smelling it. Coupled with this disgusting scene, he felt his stomach churn.
"Sure enough, he has been dead for a long time."
Li Huixi sighed in her heart.
The baby's head was still covered with the mother's blood, but it didn't understand anything like ordinary newborns, it only knew how to cry.
He can perform some basic life activities, breathing and blinking, as if it had once lived as a human being, and he is inexplicably skilled in the use of this body.
Looking at the bloody scene, Chen Chichi felt itching in front of his body, and finally couldn't help but turn over, lift up the clothes covering his stomach, and carefully observe the ravine on his stomach.
Not only has the ravine not been eliminated, but it has become more and more human-like, exactly like the bride's belly just now. Chen Chichi even felt that her belly was much more bulging than before.
Before Chen Chichi could react after watching all this, she fell straight to the ground because her center of gravity was unstable.
Chen Chichi, whose body slipped, shouted instinctively.
"ah!"
Fortunately, Li Huixi had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed her arm, but her shouts had already been heard by the baby below. She stared at the three of them with a look that could never belong to the baby, as if she resented that the three of them were not there. Appeared when he was born out of body.
The villagers outside the hall also noticed the strange noise in the hall. Seeing that it was almost time, the leader kicked the door open.
Villagers like a swarm of ants pressed into the hall, looking at the three people hanging on the room, and wanted to catch them down with their claws and teeth.
The groom who got into the statue also walked out of the crowd at some point.
"Why would someone interrupt someone else's wedding?"
"Which family's child is this?"
"It seems to be from outside the village."
"Get out!"
Li Huixi looked at them with cold eyes. The fox who had just jumped down from the tree trunk just glanced at Li Huixi and knew what she was going to do.
He took a step forward, grabbed her, and whispered in her ear:
"The cause of the bride's death must be related to them, but we have to wait until we find out what to do."
As he spoke, the fox held down Li Huixi's knife-holding hand from the side that could not be seen by outsiders.
Chen Chichi was the last to walk down. She was still frightened by the fall just now, but what affected her thoughts more was the face on her belly.
The scene just now played repeatedly in Chen Chichi's mind, and the bride's tragic situation seemed to be engraved in his heart. He completely ignored the villagers' words and the reactions of the two companions in front of him.
The villagers were getting more and more aggressive, and someone shouted:
"We can't let them run away! Catch them all first. What's your purpose of destroying the rebirth ceremony!"
As he said that, several big men approached the three of them, trying to grab them.
At the critical moment, Grandma Ding Mu stood up from the crowd, stood in front of the three children, waved her hands hard, and explained:
"These three children have no ill intentions. Didn't the child also get born successfully? Everyone just turned a blind eye."
"What kind of decency do outsiders want to destroy customs? We can't just let it go. We have to show them some color no matter what. For your sake, I want you to keep one person and we will take the other two away."
The leader of the villagers gave Grandma Ding Mu an uncompromising solution.
Grandma Ding Mu showed some hesitation, looked at the three children in front of her, and still stood in front of Chen Chichi.
Li Huixi calmed down after hearing what the fox said, and temporarily gave up the idea of massacring the village and then using the memory anchor to clear everything. The two of them were tied up obediently by the big men.
Only then did Chen Chichi come to her senses. Without Li Huixi, she suddenly lost her confidence. Some words stopped on her lips, but when she looked at the tall and strong man, she just collapsed beside Grandma Ding Mu.
No one mentioned anything about the mummy bride during the whole process, it was as if an insect died on the side, or these villagers had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
There were quite a few children in the crowd, and they actually laughed when they looked at the mummy that had lost its human appearance.
The groom picked up the newly born newborn, with a smile on his face, and kicked the bride's mummy to a corner. Looking at the groom's smiling face, the baby with his face covered in blood actually grinned strangely.
The big man took Li Huixi and the fox away, and Chen Chichi woke up in Grandma Ding Mu's house.
Grandma Ding Mu was still so kind, cooking a table full of meals and waiting quietly for Chen Chichi to wake up.
How could Chen Chichi think about eating? All he could think about was the human face on his stomach. Even in the face of Grandma Ding Mu's hospitality, the feeling of nausea still filled his brain.
Grandma Ding Mu looked at Chen Chichi who was not thinking about food and food, and said worriedly:
"You're shocked, kid. No matter what, let's eat first."
"Do you still have that ointment, grandma?"
"Yes, there are quite a few more."
"Apply it on me quickly, I'm doing that again on my belly."
"Oh, that's it. I thought you scared them."
With that said, Grandma Ding Mu leaned over to find the black ointment. Chen looked at his stomach uneasily, and a feeling of irritation suddenly came to his heart.
Grandma Ding Mu came over with black ointment and gently applied it on Chen Chichi's belly.
The ravine faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Chen Chichi breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he always felt hungry. His lack of appetite just now was just because of the belly problem. Now that it is solved, the hunger has returned. .
Before moving her chopsticks, she asked curiously:
"This ointment is so useful, what is it made of?"
"This... the special medicinal material we have here is called Sophora japonica bone."
Chen Chichi didn't know the name, not to mention it was a specialty here.
"I'm so hungry, my stomach feels like it's on fire."
"If you're hungry, eat quickly."
"Grandma, how can I still cook so many dishes by myself? It's so troublesome."
"No trouble, no trouble, these dishes were made for you."
"Give me……?"
Chen Chichi felt that something was wrong with what Grandma Ding Mu said, but she couldn't pinpoint the blame.
"By the way, how are my friends?"
"They're fine. The villagers here are very cruel and won't do anything to them. They'll be back soon. Eat quickly, my dear. I'll give them all to you."
But Chen Chichi continued to eat several bowls of white rice, but still found it difficult to fill his stomach.
