Chapter 145: Strange Occurrences in the Countryside

　　"Brother Hao, don't misunderstand, I just want to understand the situation first." Seeing Jiang Hao's unhappy expression, Lu Fei quickly explained.

　　Which normal man could tolerate others thinking about his wife in such a way?

　　Although Jiang Hao was big and burly, he clearly cared deeply for his wife.

　　Moreover, this also involved his own dignity.

　　"You've already seen the child, what else do you need to know?" Jiang Hao frowned as he looked at Lu Fei's young face, his eyes revealing deep suspicion.

　　"Brother Hao, the child's condition is definitely not normal. We need to first find out the cause, then we can treat it accordingly, right? I heard of a case that is somewhat similar to your child's situation," Lu Fei said slowly and calmly.

　　"Oh? What case?"

　　Not just Jiang Hao, everyone present, including Jing Jian, looked curiously at Lu Fei.

　　Could it be that someone else had a baby with a monstrous head as well?

　　"More than ten years ago, my grandfather encountered a strange incident while collecting evil objects in the countryside," Lu Fei said. "In one village, a family's cow gave birth to a calf with a bizarre appearance, which frightened the entire village."

　　"It was late at night, and the farmer was sound asleep when he was suddenly awakened by the urgent sounds of the cow. Since the cow was heavily pregnant, he was worried about her, so he took a lamp to check on her in the barn."

　　"Upon entering, he saw that the cow had indeed given birth, and beside the cow lay a fleshy little creature."

　　"He took a closer look and was greatly startled."

　　"The creature had the head of a cow and the body of a human. Its head was just like that of an ordinary calf, but its body was hairless and smooth, with hands and feet clearly the body of a baby."

　　Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

　　"What?"

　　"A cow's head and a human body? Isn't that exactly the same as Ah Hao's condition?" Chen Jinfat muttered in amazement.

　　"No! No!" Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment before vigorously shaking his head, "That was a freak born from a cow, not a human! How can you compare the two?"

　　"Don't be so hasty, Ah Hao. There must be a reason why Manager Lu said it that way. Let him finish first," Chen Jinfat patted his shoulder and gestured to Lu Fei, "Manager Lu, please continue."

　　Lu Fei said, "The farmer, who had raised cows for most of his life, had never encountered such a strange occurrence. He felt that the half-human, half-cow creature was surely an ill omen and planned to dispose of it."

　　"But the mother cow was very protective of her calf and wouldn't let him get close. Seeing the little creature sleeping so peacefully, he felt a bit reluctant. Thinking that it was also a life, he decided to raise it."

　　"At first, the little monster was just like a normal calf, crawling on all fours, but it didn't take long before it could stand up and walk on two legs."

　　"But it couldn't talk, and it didn't eat human food; it only ate grass."

　　"When the villagers heard that his family's calf could walk on two legs, they all came to see the curiosity."

　　"Later, my grandfather passed by the village and was invited by the family to ask what was going on."

　　"My grandfather asked them if there had been any pregnant women in labor on the night the calf was born. They confirmed that indeed, a woman in the village had died in childbirth that very night."

　　"My grandfather said this was a case of wrongful incarnation. A spirit that should have been reborn into the womb of the pregnant woman, due to her death, accidentally entered the womb of the cow, resulting in a half-human, half-cow monster being born."

　　"Such a wrongful incarnation usually doesn't live long, with a lifespan of at most a few months. My grandfather told the farmer to treat the calf well and to bury it properly after its death, hoping it would be reborn correctly next time."

　　"Sure enough, the calf died half a month later."

　　After Lu Fei finished telling the story, the luxurious and spacious living room fell silent.

　　A few seconds later, everyone came back to their senses, showing looks of astonishment.

　　There are actually such strange things in the world.

　　"Yes, yes, it's a case of wrong birth!" Jing Jian said excitedly in a loud voice, "I have heard of this as well. It is very rare and usually happens in the countryside. It must be the case that on the day when Xiaoya's sister was born prematurely, she encountered a bitch giving birth, and thus she gave birth to such a dog-child."

　　"Why didn't you say so earlier? You just had to wait until Manager Lu finished speaking before agreeing, if you don't have the ability, then don't come out and make a fool of yourself." Chen Jinfah rolled his eyes.

　　However, Jiang Hao's expression improved considerably, and he said, "Manager Lu, do you mean the same, that my child is a case of wrong birth?"

　　"It's just a guess on my part, after all, the circumstances aren't exactly the same, so I want to see if there are any pregnant bitches at your place," said Lu Fei with a smile.

　　"Whether there are bitches at my place..." Jiang Hao thought about it but wasn't sure, "My wife likes to keep dogs, and she takes care of them. I don't usually ask about it, I will immediately have someone bring out all the dogs."

　　With that, he instructed the nanny and the bodyguards to fetch the dogs.

　　Everyone went to the garden.

　　Before long, the nanny and the bodyguards brought the dogs over, big and small, surprisingly numbering more than a dozen.

　　There were both expensive breeds and common ones, and even some oddly adorable mixed breeds.

　　The barking of dogs formed a lively chorus.

　　"My wife is such a kind-hearted person; she loves keeping small animals. Several of these dogs were rescued by her, or they would have ended up in someone's hot pot."

　　When talking about his wife, Jiang Hao's rough face always shows a hint of tenderness.

　　One wouldn't expect such a rough man to be so devoted to his wife.

　　Then, he beckoned the nanny.

　　"Bring all the female dogs over here... Are any of them pregnant?"

　　"Mr. Jiang, none of the dogs are pregnant. Madam has had all the dogs at home spayed," the nanny replied honestly. "What? None of them?" Jiang Hao was taken aback and frowned, "Check again carefully, maybe you missed one?"

　　"Mr. Jiang, there are only four female dogs at home, and none of them can get pregnant. If you don't believe me, you can check the scars on their bellies," the nanny said.

　　No pregnant female dogs, could it really be...

　　Everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to the male dogs.

　　The nanny hurriedly said, "Every dog in the house has been sterilized, whether male or female, they can't reproduce."

　　That's very strange.

　　If it has nothing to do with the dogs, how could a half-human, half-dog monster be born?

　　Everyone's gaze turned to Lu Fei.

　　Lu Fei pondered and said, "Mr. Jiang, was the Mrs. at home or outside when she gave birth prematurely?"

　　"At home. We were having dinner, and suddenly she said her belly hurt, then her water broke. I rushed her to the hospital. She was saved, but this..." Jiang Hao couldn't continue.

　　The child had been born for over ten days, and he hadn't held it even once, always feeling a sense of dread.

　　If it's not a mistake, then what exactly is it?

　　Just as Lu Fei was also at a loss for answers.

　　"Ah——"

　　From the nursery, a panicked scream suddenly sounded.

　　Everyone was startled.

　　"Xiaoya!"

　　Jiang Hao, his face full of tension, rushed upstairs at the first moment.
