The road from the village to Guo's house is not full of crops on both sides, but passes through a mountain col in the middle, and there are many weeds and shrubs on both sides.

Chunyang has to pass by here almost every day, and he is no longer afraid, but he still unconsciously sped up his pace, wanting to pass through here quickly.

At this moment, there was a strange swishing sound from the bushes next to me, as if something was moving through it.

Is it a human? or an animal?

No matter what it is, it's scary, Chunyang almost immediately got up in white sweat.

She stooped down to pick up a stone from the ground, and broke off a branch the length of her arm from the side of the road, just in case.

Only the stones and branches did not come in handy, and the next moment, out of the bushes came a woman with unkempt hair, dirty, and tattered clothes, which seemed to be stained with a lot of blood, and could not tell her face and guess her age.

"Who are you?" Chunyang asked vigilantly, pausing in his footsteps.

The woman didn't answer her, only glanced at Chunyang through the messy head curtain, and stumbled away around Chunyang.

Chunyang breathed a sigh of relief and was puzzled at the same time.

Who is this woman? Definitely not from Dongshan Village, she has never seen it before. Why is there blood on the woman's body, and it is so dirty, as if she has been in the mountains for months, where is the woman going on this big night?

Of course, what a woman looks like has nothing to do with Chunyang, she just thought about these problems, and started to continue home.

However, she had not gone far when she faintly heard the cry of a baby, which seemed to come from the depths of the bushes by the roadside.

Don't look at the trees in the col are not high, they are as dangerous as the mountains and forests, there are snakes and everything, Chunyang alone does not dare to go deeper.

She wanted to find out, but she didn't lose her mind, nothing was as important as her own safety. Thinking of this, she raised her feet and ran home, and there was still a little distance from Guo's house, so she shouted to Zhi'en and asked him to go with her to have a look.

Cao Peiyu and Li Dongmei were both called out by her, and as soon as they heard that there seemed to be children crying in the col, these two people also had to follow.

A few people followed Chunyang to the col, and they could still hear the baby's cry, and they searched for the cry to touch the forest, stumbling and walking for a while before they found the little baby who had not yet been cleaned up, and seemed to have just been born.

Zhien immediately took off his clothes and wrapped them around the baby, Cao Peiyu picked up the child, and sighed distressedly: "Evil, evil." ”

Thinking of the dirty woman with blood on her body that she saw on the road before, Chunyang immediately guessed what was going on.

She hurriedly explained the situation to Cao Peiyu and the others, and said: "Now if you go to chase Xingxing, you may be able to catch up, Zhien, let's go and find out." ”

"Go, don't worry if you can't find anyone, go home if you can't see the way," Cao Peiyu instructed.

Chunyang and Zhien walked back to the village along the road and inquired with the villagers, but no one saw the strange woman enter the village.

It's not surprising that Chunyang met a woman on the road, but it doesn't mean that the woman will walk along the road, maybe she will turn into the crop field halfway, and walk through the crop field to other villages on other roads.

It was completely dark, and the white moonlight sprinkled on the deep and heavy black earth, inexplicably giving people a feeling of coldness.

"Still looking for it?" Ji-eun asked, frowning.

Chunyang's stomach was grunting with hunger, and his legs were sore and painful, so he really didn't have the strength to go again, so he had to say helplessly: "Go home first, and discuss with my aunt what to do." ”

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when they walked home, and the food was hot in the pot, so they sat on a small bench and ate around the pot.

Li Dongmei was watching the children in the back room, and Cao Peiyu came out to talk to them.

"There are more and more children hiding outside, and when they are born, they will throw away the baby directly when they see it, this person... Let's go back and inquire around to see which village where the women hid out to give birth but didn't take the child home, and it is not difficult to find someone. Cao Peiyu said with a sigh.

This girl is very lucky, she was found by Chunyang and rescued in time, in fact, there are more unfortunate girls, they may not have a chance to see the second person in this world, they will freeze to death, starve to death, or even be bitten to death in the wilderness.

"What should I do if I don't recognize it?" asked Ji-eun as he swallowed the food in his mouth.

Cao Peiyu frowned and couldn't help but sigh again, and said, "If you don't recognize it, then you don't recognize it, find the person first." ”

As Cao Peiyu said, it is not difficult to find a woman who has a child in hiding but does not take the child home, but to their surprise, they have found more than one such woman.

In the same time, a total of three women from several nearby villages returned to the village, and none of them took their children home, and the explanations given to the outside world were different.

Some people say that the child died early, and it took a few months to raise his body after returning to his parents' house, and some people said that the child was born without being angry, so he simply buried it and did not bring it back.

Combined with the exact time of returning home, Chunyang deduced that Liu Er and his wife in Sanfattun were most likely the parents of the child.

After school, Chunyang and Zhien went to the third fat man's house to see Liu Er's husband and wife, originally they just thought it was possible, but after seeing Liu's second daughter-in-law, Chunyang was 100% sure that the child was theirs.

changed her clothes and freshened up, but Liu's second daughter-in-law's height and body shape did not change, and her eyes did not change when she looked at people, and Chunyang recognized her at a glance.

As a result, Liu's second daughter-in-law refused to admit it, and said that if Chunyang had to throw the child to the Liu family, then she would turn her head and throw the child into the water tank and drown.

What is the current situation of the Liu family? The couple are in their thirties, and they have three children, two daughters and one son. The couple also wanted another boy, and the two brothers would have a good idea to take care of them in the future. As for their daughters, they never believed that their daughters could provide for them in their old age, and when they grew up and got married, it had nothing to do with their Liu family.

Zhien also learned from the three fat people that this Liu family moved from a place in Guanli that particularly valued male babies and some strange rules, and they were really capable of throwing the child into the water tank and drowning.

Chunyang and Zhien couldn't make a decision, so they went home to discuss with Cao Peiyu and Li Dongmei.

Li Dongmei thought of Qiaoya, looked at the little baby girl in the swaddling clothes who didn't know the sinister nature of the world, and hesitated with red eyes: "Otherwise, I'll take the child back, I'll raise it." No matter how rich a life is, she can't be hungry or cold. ”

Cao Peiyu could also think of what would happen if she forcibly sent the child back to the Liu family, and sighed and continued: "You are still young, it is not good to remarry with a child..."

Dongmei wanted to say that she would not marry again, but Cao Peiyu waved her hand to stop her and said: "Don't talk to death, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." We can raise children together, and we say that they were picked up by the Guo family, and they will be the children of the Guo family in the future, and it will not affect you when you meet a good family. ”
