648: Delivery
The woman, her pupils shimmering with purplish-black, looked at the small stone brick beside her and returned to her senses with a slight daze.
This was something her Husband gave her.
Thinking it was something her Husband gave her, a hint of Qingming appeared in the woman's eyes.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The telephone kept ringing.
On the other end of the telephone, Gao Lang, sitting alone in his room, had already clenched his fists, filled with anxiety.
Please, please don't let the plot develop according to the original trajectory, or he will surely die!
He didn't know if the thing called a telephone that guy gave him was actually useful.
Now, the only thing he could pin his hopes on was this thing!
"Click~"
Just as Gao Lang was filled with eagerness, the telephone was suddenly connected.
This made A Man's breathing pause.
"Who is it?" From the telephone came a woman's voice.
This voice also carried a choked nasal tone, as if she had just cried.
"Is that Xiao Fu?!" When Gao Lang heard this voice, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.
On the other end of the telephone, the bride heard the voice of her husband coming from the stone brick in her hand, and her eyes widened slightly: "Husband? Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me!"
"Husband, why do you want to divorce Xiao Fu? Is there something wrong with Xiao Fu? Is it because of the Child? Husband doesn't like the Child? I'll go get the Child aborted right away, Husband, please don't divorce me, don't abandon me!"
On the telephone, the woman's emotional fluctuations were extremely intense.
Ning Buxiu could even vaguely hear the voice of another evil spirit speaking through her voice!
"No, no! How could I divorce you!" Gao Lang, his head covered in cold sweat, hurriedly explained: "I'm thinking of you all the time, wishing I could fly to see you immediately, don't overthink it!"
After A Man's voice appeared, the woman's fluctuating emotions finally gradually calmed down.
"Really?" The bride's voice carried a hint of softness and quietness.
"Of course it's true, I still want to go home and see our Child, hahaha..." Gao Lang's words were full of anticipation, but the laughter that followed was a little stiff.
"Then Husband, why did you send this divorce letter to Xiao Fu?" The woman's words had lost their previous frantic meaning, and under Gao Lang's comfort on the telephone, she looked at the divorce letter on the ground beside her with confusion.
"That divorce letter was forged by someone else!" Gao Lang felt a slight relief in his heart and also spoke up to explain himself.
With the real-time chat on the telephone, after comforting his wife Xiao Fu's emotions, even though Gao Lang's explanation had loopholes, it was enough to stabilize the bride.
Compared to the male protagonist's explanation in the previous opera which only came after everything was irreparable, Gao Lang's explanation at this moment before any tragedy occurred was undoubtedly much more stable!
"Is that so?" Hearing this explanation, the woman smiled sweetly: "Hehe, I knew Husband wouldn't abandon me."
Gao Lang also chuckled in agreement, chatting aimlessly with this Ghost bride on the telephone.
The other party's mood also brightened with the connection in their words.
It wasn't until the telephone call ended that Gao Lang slowly let out a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully this thing really worked!
Looking at the telephone in his hand, a touch of relief and gratitude surged in Gao Lang's heart.
As A Man was feeling so grateful, the narration seemed to be stunned for a while before finally, with the sound of a gong beat, it slowly began to speak.
["Hooray~ The groom remembers the bride's affection, the divorce letter is voided, he abandons the rich girl, finally returns home to see his Lin Yue's wife, holds the Child and becomes a loving Father, from then on he is a person in the play."]
"Can I go home?" Gao Lang's breathing paused slightly.
Does that mean, as long as the Child in his bride's belly is born, he will have cleared the level and can leave?!
After this thought emerged, Gao Lang's gaze couldn't help but think of the last sentence of the narration.
'From then on he is a person in the play?'
What does this mean?!
Could it be that the reward for clearing the level isn't leaving?!
Time changed again, and Gao Lang found that the surrounding scene also began to change.
The sun was hot, under the scorching sun, the country road was overgrown with weeds.
At this moment, he was standing outside a courtyard.
This place was precisely the courtyard where he and the bride got married before, and also his and the bride's residence.
"The Child is about to be born, quickly call the midwife!"
In the courtyard, someone shouted in a hurry.
And hearing this, Gao Lang couldn't help but swallow.
In the courtyard house, it was clearly the Ghost bride who was giving birth.
On the telephone, he said he desperately wanted to see the other party, but when he was actually moved to this place, he didn't even dare to step through the courtyard gate.
"Go in, the bride needs you." Suddenly, Gao Lang heard a voice appear behind him.
He turned his head in a bit of a panic, and the person who appeared before him was actually the guy who had given him the telephone and helped him a lot before!
Of course, what caught Gao Lang's attention even more were the two people behind this A Man.
"Father and Mother?!" Seeing these two people who had finally appeared again, Gao Lang's voice carried a hint of a sob.
The scene before him had changed so many times, and he finally saw the Two elders again.
This should also be their part in the play at this moment.
"Lang'er, listen to this Knight and go see the bride." Father Gao Peng's tone was a little serious.
They and Ning Buxiu had only met a stick of incense ago.
The main reason was that Gao Peng recognized Cang Poshi.
Before coming, Gao Peng had a preliminary understanding of the Five Directions City's five great masters, and when facing such Ghost scenarios, only by following such masters could he get out!
And through Cang Poshi, Gao Peng learned that Ning Buxiu was even more powerful.
Therefore, he would help Ning Buxiu urge his son Gao Lang.
"Go see the bride..." Gao Lang's throat twitched slightly, and finally, he took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard.
["Oh dear! The baby's birth is difficult, the midwife is anxious and flustered, the wife has stepped through the Ghost Gate, the Husband has arrived at his ancestral home, he enters the room and sees his Lin Yue's wife for a moment, the baby is safe but the mother leaves."]
The sharp narration made Gao Lang calm down a little.
That is to say, the bride will die?
If the bride, this terrifying female Ghost, dies, will he have cleared the level?
But will his Sister die with her?!
Thinking this, Gao Lang quickened his steps and arrived at the door of the delivery room.
Standing outside the door, he could already hear the midwife's flustered words inside.
"Creak~"
The undecorated wooden door was pushed open.
The midwife inside immediately looked over: "Who is it!"
After seeing it was A Man, the midwife's expression darkened, and she directly chased him out: "What is A Man doing coming in here?! Get out quickly!"
The woman's loud voice made Gao Lang pause his steps, and he stuttered as he explained: "I... am her Husband."
"Husband? So what if you're the Husband? Can you help?!" The woman shouted.
And her voice, however, made the woman on the bed, covered in sweat, with tears streaming down her face, raise her head with difficulty: "Husband?!"
