Chapter 30 Abandoned Babies in Alleys and Bamboo Baskets

"I'll take you to Mother Meng's house. The village head, Huang Junhao, picked up his crutches and walked to the door.

"Good. We replied in unison.

Five minutes later, we followed the village chief, Huang Junhao, to Meng Po's house.

In front of you is an old courtyard house, which encloses the courtyard in the middle and houses are built on all sides. There are two big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, and there is a long red couplet posted on the wall, and two rows of black characters are written on the red paper with a brush: pine leaves, bamboo leaves, leaves and green leaves, and the sound of geese in autumn is cold.

The two dilapidated wooden doors are posted with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu holding big knives. There is also a reflective gossip mirror hanging from the top of the door.

"This is Mother Meng's house. Village Chief Huang Junhao stopped at the gate of the courtyard, "You can stay here for a while to avoid the rain." ”

"Thank you, village chief. "I thanked.

"Then I'll go back first. ”

"Goodbye, village chief. ”

We walked into the courtyard of Meng Po's house, there was a large round water tank next to the door, and under the walls of the house there were five pots of chrysanthemums, which had withered due to lack of nutrients and watering, but there was still a pot of blue-green spiky cacti that survived. There is a pomegranate tree planted in the corner of the wall, and the branches of the tree are full of fiery red pomegranates, like small lanterns.

Zhu Yujia took the flashlight to illuminate it, and explored forward in fear: on the old table was a red insulated water bottle, with a lifelike phoenix printed on the bottle surface, and a round wooden cork on the mouth of the bottle.

I turned on my phone's flashlight and looked over the wall: a worn, moldy calendar hung on the wall, and the paper had been bitten by cockroaches, leaving round holes.

"Ah!!" Suddenly, Xu Lixue shouted.

We hurriedly turned our heads to look at Xu Lixue and saw that her whole body was trembling.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked with concern.

"Look at a picture hanging on the wall. ”

Zhu Yujia took a flashlight and shone it on the wall: in the bright light, a rectangular picture frame contained a black-and-white photo of an old man, his face was pale and his eyes were hideous.

Suddenly, we heard the sound of chopping wood with an axe in the next room, pop-pop!

Strange, isn't there no one in the uninhabited village? Why are there people chopping wood now?

The sound of this axe chopping through the planks became more and more intense and louder.

What the hell is going on?

"Why is there a strange sound in the next room?" asked Xu Lixue suspiciously.

"It's strange, is there someone next door?" Zhu Yujia looked at the wall.

Bang bang!

I sensed something wasn't quite right, and hurried out the door, trying to go to the next room to see what was going on.

I pushed open the door next door with my hand and saw some blood dripping from the floor......

Suddenly, I saw a man dressed in black and black trousers, with a terrible black and white mask on his face: curved eyebrows, small eyes, a curly mustache, a chin and a small beard, and a wicked expression.

Ahh

Strangely, where did the blood on the ground come from? There were no wounded people in sight here!

The man in black with a strange mask on his face raised a heavy axe and slashed at me, and my body flashed in a hurry, and he pushed my arm hard with his left hand to keep me out of the way, and then ran out of the door as fast as he could......

Before I could react, the man in black had already run twenty or thirty meters away......

I hurried out of the long straight alleys of the village, all surrounded by branching paths. In the dark, I couldn't see in which direction the man in black was escaping?

Suddenly, I felt something under my feet?

"Wow-wow!" Suddenly, a baby cried.

I turned on the flashlight function of my mobile phone with my hand and looked at the ground: a bamboo basket was containing an abandoned baby, white children's clothes wrapped around his whole body, and his young little face was very cute.

Next to the abandoned baby was a clear bottle containing milk and a blank piece of paper. On the white paper, there are two rows of scribbled and powerful messages: Please adopt a child or send it to an orphanage, the child's birthday is July 18, 2017, thank you!

I'm a young man who has never nursed a baby, and I don't have any experience in caring for a baby. Professional nursing knowledge is related to the healthy growth of babies!

"Wow-wow!" the baby cried twice.

I carefully picked up the young baby from the bamboo basket.

"Gao Qidao, what are you doing?" came Xu Lixue's voice behind him.

"I found an abandoned baby here. ”

"Abandoned baby?!" Xu Lixue hurriedly ran over......

"It's three watches in the middle of the night, and it's deserted here. If the baby is left here, if no one passes by, won't he starve to death?" I said worriedly.

"That's what you're saying. ”

"This baby is so pathetic. "I picked up the quilt from the bamboo basket and gently wrapped the baby, worried that he would catch a cold.

"I'm glad I met such a nice person as you. Xu Lixue smiled with satisfaction.

"Wow-wow!" the baby cried loudly, "Wow!"

"You let me hug it. Xu Lixue stretched out her hands.

"Hmm. "I carefully handed the baby to Xu Lixue.

After Xu Lixue hugged the baby with both hands, she picked up a transparent bottle full of milk from the bamboo basket, aimed the pacifier at the baby's mouth, and gently stuffed the pacifier into the baby's mouth, "The child is crying, maybe he is hungry." ”

At this time, the baby sucks on the pacifier with a taste and enjoys the taste of milk sweetly......

I think Xu Lixue is very attentive and good at taking care of babies.

Now the baby is not noisy or noisy.

"What should we do now?" Xu Lixue was at a loss.

"We took the baby back to Mother Meng's house. ”

"Hmm. Xu Lixue nodded.

"You take the baby back to Mother Meng's house first. I got up from the ground, "I went after the masked man." ”

Xu Lixue said worriedly: "You have to pay more attention to safety." ”

I glanced at the baby sucking milk, "Hmm. ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of something falling from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"Do you hear any sounds?" I looked at Xu Lixue.

"It seems to be a voice from over there. Xu Lixue pointed to the foot of the mountain.

"I'll take a look. ”

"I'll go too. ”

"It's inconvenient for you to hold a baby. ”

"It's fine. ”

At this time, Zhu Yujia and Zhang Wenxuan chased after them......

"Why are you two here?" asked Zhu Yujia curiously.

"We found an abandoned baby here. Xu Lixue said while holding the baby.

"Just now we heard a strange sound at the foot of the mountain, now let's go and take a look. I looked at the dark foot of the mountain in confusion.

"Let's go and see. If you go with a lot of people, you'll have good company. Zhang Wenxuan said.

"Well, that's fine. I agreed.

We walked together in the dark foothills, overgrown with weeds and dwarf, long thorny shrubs, and it was easy for one to be scratched by the spikes of the branches to scratch the skin or prick the eyes.

"There's nothing here, let's go back. Zhang Wenxuan used a flashlight to shine east and west.

"There are so many mosquitoes here that they itch the skin of my thighs. Zhu Yujia patted his thigh with his right hand to repel mosquitoes.

There was a mosquito lying on the baby's cute little face, and Xu Lixue gently blew on the mosquito with her mouth to help him drive the mosquito away.

We walked into the dark forest, surrounded by uneven curved branches, lush leaves, thick roots entrenched in the dirt, and yellow fallen leaves all over the ground.

"Let's go back. Zhu Yujia complained: "I was bitten to death by mosquitoes." ”

"Who told you to come out in such short jeans?" Zhang Wenxuan retorted.

With a snap, Zhu Yujia slapped a mosquito to death, and there was a drop of red blood on his palm, "How did I know I was going up the mountain?"

"Let's go back together. "I looked around, and it was pitch black.

We walked out of the woods at the foot of the mountain together......

At this time, I touched the phone in my trouser pocket with my hand and suddenly found that it was gone.

"My phone is gone. ”

"What? Your phone is gone. Xu Lixue asked with concern.

"Yes. ”

"Do you know where it fell?"

"I don't know. ”

"What are you going to do now?"

"I want to go back. ”

"No, I don't feel at ease when you walk into the dark forest alone. ”

"I walked into the forest and came back half an hour. ”

"You have to pay more attention to safety. Xu Lixue handed me the flashlight in her hand, "You can bring a flashlight to illuminate." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Be careful. ”

I went back to the dark forest to look for my phone alone......

At this time, the light of the flashlight in my hand became weaker and weaker, shining on the trees in the distance, blurry......

My heart was pounding, creepy, goosebumps all over my body, and I was always worried that someone would suddenly pop up behind me.

Suddenly, I was stunned by what I saw.

Under a dry branch, there was a hanged woman in her forties. She was wearing a long red dress, long messy black hair, and a pair of small white cloth shoes. She was being strangled by a rough nylon rope, and her eyes were full of hatred and wide with anger......

Not far from the hanged woman, there was an overturned red log stool......

Oh my God!

What the hell is going on?
