Suppressing the Soul

in the back still need to pay road tolls""No, no! We'll return your toll, we'll return it!" He held my brother's burned paper money in both hands and respectfully raised his head.My brother was just...My brother lazily said into his phone, "Hmm... got it..."

He sat in his computer chair without the slightest thought of getting up, as if he had no intention of leaving.

"Bro... how's things at Qingcheng Hospital" I asked with a bit of worry.

"Why do you care about this Just focus on giving birth, I've got the scalpel, forceps, and sutures ready—"

I was astonished. "What do you want to do!"

My brother gave a sinister smile: “ …If the child is small enough, it might come out easily, but what if we need a side cut We better be prepared!”

Wow!!

How could I have forgotten my brother is a doctor! He's a doctor!

He studied clinical medicine! He even got his internship through the back door, working in surgery!

"He doesn't want me to be his first patient, does he! How embarrassing!"

My head is about to explode, I don't even know what expression to make.

My brother held back for a moment, then burst into laughter, rolling on the floor: "Hahahahahahaha...Your expression, Qiao! How could you be so silly! I would never joke about your safety! Of course, it was Lin Yanqin who called the obstetrician downstairs! Just kidding you. Look at how tense you were!"

My face turned red: "You know I'm clumsy, so don't scare me! When I get nervous, my stomach starts to ache."

"Then I'll tease you more, so you can speed up the process" My brother chuckled while sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Master, I just mopped the floor ten times," said Lang with some dissatisfaction. "Even if soup spilled, you could drink it! You shouldn't sit on the ground, your clothes will get dusty."

"You little brat, you dare complain about me We've all showered and changed clothes! The room is spotless!" My brother glared at him.

This child, Tan Lang, is awfully burly. We all suspect he's from the North. His dad even took him to the police station to collect a DNA sample, hoping to find his biological parents.

But he didn't care at all. Every day, after eating his fill, he would help out by watching the shop and doing chores. Although he still had some baby fat on his face, with his sword eyebrows, prominent brow ridge, it was clear that he would be a handsome young man in the future. My father said that the neighborhood aunts, daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law, and young girls all liked him.

He turned eleven soon, and my dad was running around checking out private schools to see if he could get him enrolled mid-year. But when the school officials saw him, they immediately asked, "Isn't he too old" He was almost six feet tall!

With every meal, a small rice cooker's portion, my brother sighed: "At this rate, I'll be at least 6 foot 3... My God, please don't grow into a figure like the Great Witch King, a humanoid weapon! That's terrifying."

"Little uncle, what are you looking at me for Is there something you need" Tan Lang asked me.

I shook my head and said, “You wait here and guard the door. Don't let anyone who isn't supposed to in. Make sure the side door is locked, okay”

"Yeah, the garage door is locked tight. I've got my weapons ready, whoever tries to break in gets a beating," said Greed Wolf.

My brother comforted me, "Xiao Qiao, don't worry. Are you afraid that the Si family will come and snatch people right now Look at the soldiers in the alley, they are all huddled like squatting in a latrine! Even the Terracotta Army isn't so disorganized! They have surrounded our house!"

"And Dad secretly opened the electric fence on the wall. Before, he was afraid of electrocuting thieves and having to pay for lawsuits, but now he doesn't care anymore. Whoever climbs over gets shocked!"

"Lin Yanqin is here too. She's probably safe here, no one dares to touch her. Just relax, with so many people here, it wouldn't be hard to protect you while you give birth. Besides, your husband is almost here — he should be at Qingcheng Hospital now."

My heart clenched again.

"Don't worry, he remembers to send the yin soldiers to guard us even with his busy schedule. He'll be here." My brother smiled. "After all, he has a divine position and can't leave his post... Being a god is much harder than being a mortal!"

Okay, okay...

I patted my stomach, which was cramping with a sharp pain. It felt like fire inside me.

All the primordial gods were born from the essence of the creation of heaven and earth. The later gods are inferior to the primordial gods. Jiang Qiyun is a manifestation of a primordial god, born as a god. Therefore, his two children possess powerful innate magical powers, but —

I wonder if my body will be strong tomorrow!

I'm not exactly strong, so how can I give them a good body if I can't

Don't mothers all have anxieties

Being anxious before and after childbirth...

》》》

As the lanterns flickered to life, the outside world gradually surrendered to the embrace of night.

But my heart cannot find peace.

The pain in my abdomen intensified with each passing moment, while my heart grew colder and colder.

Why has my mind become so scattered

I felt as if I were talking to an old, dirty woman, and I could still hear my brother's voice in my ear.

But concentration is difficult.

"Girl, are you hurt"

Well, that hurts.

"The pain you can endure, or the pain you can't"

Well, I can bear it.

I was answering, but my ears felt as if there were a layer of water between me and them, making it difficult to hear what they were saying.

The sight before me began to blur. Even though I was staring intently at my stomach, it gradually turned into a white haze.

There seemed to be mountains, thousands of miles in radius, connecting heaven and earth, boundless and endless.

Auspicious clouds swirl and fragrant flowers carpet the ground.

I jolted, couldn't this be the mountain of the Underworld Was this path the way to the afterlife that devout people walked

Impossible, I'm not dead...

Images kept involuntarily appearing in my mind. I felt my eyelids heavy, unable to lift them. The pain in my abdomen began to escalate towards unbearable levels.

Pain... Pain... It hurts so much!

A flurry of images flashed through my mind.

The sky was filled with smoke and screams, the night air thick with madness and the stench of death.

Billowing black smoke engulfed the heavens and earth, like a gaping maw of greed tearing open the ground to consume everything in its path.

A burst of white light blinded me momentarily, and before my eyes, a tall figure in black robes and dark hair stood in front of me…

Rise, clouds... Rise, clouds!

My cheek was suddenly struck with pain, a hand roughly pried open my mouth and shoved a frigid finger inside.

"Mu Xiaoqiao!"

A low and clear voice, tinged with displeasure.

I've heard him in all sorts of tones.

Indifference, coldheartedness, thin anger and disappointment, helplessness and gentleness, evil charm and light mockery, suppressed low panting...

And, tender love words.

I never realized he had such a rich emotional depth. How could I have missed it before

Everyone says giving birth is a woman's journey through the gates of hell. Could it be that we only truly understand some things when facing life and death, when life is born or taken

"...Qi Yun..." I mumbled.

His icy fingers pressed between my teeth, preventing me from biting myself.

"What kind of daydreams are you having, hurting like this, you can still be so engrossed" His voice wasn't as calm as usual.

"I didn't...it was a picture that suddenly popped into my head..." I endured a wave of intense pain.

Can't open my eyes.

I want to see him, but every bone in my body aches with pain. I wish I could just pass out and not feel this agony anymore.

"Mu Xia Qiao, open your eyes." His voice rang in my ear.nesThe man hesitated for a moment, looked down at his palm, and nodded. "Yes," he said."How many of these little Buddhas are there" I asked.The man shook his head. “I don’t know... I've already answer...
