Chapter 398: Gu Carving
Many of the people who were watching were disdainful, but they thought that he was old and dizzy, that he had seen it wrong, or that it was a conjecture, and even persuaded him to go home and wait, because perhaps his son and daughter-in-law were looking for him everywhere.
But Lin Suqing believed what the old man said, because although the old man was old, his eyes were bright, and that kind of look was different from the tearful sense of water, but a manifestation of spirit, even if his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his lips were deflated, and there were not a few teeth left, but those eyes lit up his face, even if he was thin and stiff, he could see that the old man's body was still very tough with only those eyes.
"What kind of youkai is it? Lin Suqing put his hands on the old man's shoulders and backs, so that he could feel at ease, and recalling that scene was only a great second stimulus for him.
"Yes, it's an eagle! an eagle the size of a house! it's much bigger than a house!" the old man's voice trembled uncontrollably, and the fear was so great that it was excited.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Suqing was slightly stunned, and looked at Xia Yuniao and the dog, which coincided. You don't have to listen closely to almost determine that the enraged Gu Eagle is eating people with great fanfare. In the past, he only ate those who were alone in the mountains, but now he has run out to eat people openly at the bottom of the mountain. I'm afraid that this can't get rid of the fruit of the person who attacked it, but it can't get rid of the fruit of the business with him Lin Suqing, because the person who attacked the Gu Eagle is very likely to come for him Lin Suqing.
Since it was the Gu Eagle who came down the mountain to make trouble, then those who got lost for no reason ...... In order to confirm his guess, Lin Suqing comforted the old man and said, "Don't worry about it first, wait for a while." He went to the end of the group and asked the young man, who looked like a scholar, "Little brother, where did you come from?"
The young man was slightly stunned, he didn't expect it to arrive at him so soon, and hurriedly said, "My aunt is gone." ”
"When did it happen?"
"A-Niang said earlier that she would go to the second aunt's house to help, and she would come back after noon, she was always on time, and now it is evening and she has not come back. At first, I went to the second aunt's house to call her, but the second aunt said that my aunt had never been to her house at all, and she thought that my aunt had something to delay and couldn't go. ”
The young man's face flushed, and a scholar like him did not believe in these tricks in the countryside, and if he had not had no other way, and happened to hear on the road that someone with a lost family wanted to come to the branch to inquire about something, he would not have come to get involved in it. He said: "I asked along the way, I have inquired about the families that may pass by when I call my house to my second aunt's house, and my aunt is indeed going in the direction of the second aunt's house, but I don't know where she went halfway, and no one has ever seen her." ”
"When your aunt went to your second aunt, did she take the main road or the remote road?"
"In the countryside, even the main road is a remote road, and there are few passers-by. The young man didn't believe in these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and he already felt that he couldn't hang on his face, and he kept asking, and now he was a little annoyed, "Even if you take the big road, it can't always be the big road, how many families live on the side of the big road? Don't they all have to take some small roads and mountain roads?"
"Okay, I got it. Lin Suqing smiled politely, then turned back to the cabinet, asked the old man behind him, and said, "May I ask ......?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the man couldn't wait for him to finish, and couldn't wait to say, "My daughter-in-law is gone! In the evening, the grass in the field has been cut, and they are ready to go home!"
"Where did she go halfway? I mean, since you're already planning to go home, she shouldn't have suddenly disappeared from your eyes, right? ”
The man was so excited that he grabbed Lin Suqing's arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away if he didn't help, and answered his question impatiently, thinking that the sooner he answered, the sooner Lin Suqing would help find it.
"She said to go to Xiaoxi, and I will wait for her. And then, then...... Then she said that she heard the baby's cry!" The man grabbed Lin Suqing's forearm again when he spoke, and his unconscious force was very heavy, and it hurt to be caught. The man's expression was extremely painful, and he suddenly felt that the baby's cry was the thing, "Yes! Cry! That's what the cry did!"
He recalled that in the evening, his daughter-in-law, who was walking towards him after going to the small forest in the distance, suddenly stopped, looked back again and again, and then shouted at him: "Eh~ Master! I heard the cry of a baby in the forest!"
At that time, he didn't take it seriously and said: "Maybe someone brought the baby out to work, and the child was hungry and cried!"
The daughter-in-law thought about it and turned around and walked two steps to the forest, and then said to him: "I heard crying miserably, and there was no sound of adults coaxing children. I don't think it's another family that lost its girl and didn't want to support it. ”
"How can there be so many things about losing a girl, we can't give birth to a girl if we want to, who can't think about it so much, but we can't enjoy it. ”
He also laughed at her and said, who knew that she said that she would go and take a look, and she was very happy: "If it is good-looking, we will pick it up and raise it ourselves!"
......
He told Lin Suqing about his experience in the evening, and said dejectedly: "I should go with her!" He raised his head suddenly, grabbed Lin Suqing's arm again, and asked eagerly: "When I went to look for my daughter-in-law, there were no babies there at all, Boss Qin! Do you think it could be a monster pretending? My daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law, has she been eaten by a monster? Isn't it? Why didn't I go with her!!!
"Don't calm down yet......"
"How can I be calm! My daughter-in-law is gone! How can you tell me to be calm!" he said like a firecracker that had been dyed, "Boss Qin! Did you say that baby's cry was changed by a monster?
Just as Lin Suqing was thinking about how to comfort him with a clear conscience, a small head suddenly appeared at the back of the queue, raised his little hand, and shouted timidly: "Uncle...... Uncle ......"
Lin Suqing looked up when he heard the sound and saw that it was a little boy who looked like five or six years old. He patted the man who was anxious and remorseful on the shoulder, brushed off his hand, went to the little boy, squatted down and asked him, "Is there anything uncle can help you with?"
The little boy was weak in his heart, he looked at the eyes that were looking at him in front of him in fear, his small mouth pursed and he was nervous, his thin little face was cramped and uneasy, and he finally mustered up his courage and whispered: "I also heard the cry that the uncle said in front of me......"
Lin Suqing's heart sank, but his face was still unfazed, and he asked him: "Oh, did something happen?"
The little boy suddenly burst into tears, but he was strong and held back, like a little man, and said with a crying voice: "My father told me to stand in the field and not move, don't go anywhere, look at the pigweed after the beating and wait for him to come back, and then he went to look for it, and he didn't come back when he went......"
After saying that, he cried so loudly that he called his father, it was hard to imagine how he could find a branch with such a small person.
Lin Suqing took the little boy's little hand and took it into his arms, the big hand almost covered the little boy's thin back completely, he covered the back of the little boy's head with one hand and put his face into his arms, and the hand behind him gently comforted, and said, "It's okay, you can't be a man if you cry too much." ”
Then he picked him up and sent him to the cabinet and handed it to Xia Xuaniao, who also hugged the little boy like him, Xia Xuaniao was more comforting than him, she gently coaxed: "You didn't listen to your father's words and left the field without permission, and you didn't look at the pigweed that Daddy made, your father will definitely be angry when he comes back." You wait here first, and we will ask someone to tell your father that you are coming to a branch hall, and your father will come to pick you up in a while. ”
The child suddenly stopped crying and sobbed, "I, my daddy will come in a while?"
Xia Xuaniao gently pinched the little boy's nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's coming soon, your father is going to buy you candy." ”
"By the way~ What about your mother, let's take you to your mother first, okay?"
Wow-the little boy let out an earth-shattering cry and cried even more tragically: "I don't have a mother-"
At this time, the old man at the beginning of the queue tugged at Lin Suqing's sleeve and whispered: "This child was gone when A-Niang gave birth to him." ”
Lin Suqing glanced at them, and didn't answer without feeling in his heart. When the people in line saw the little boy like this, they could probably guess a few points, and they could probably guess how much they could hear, but who would leave their young child behind and never return? As for the whereabouts of the little boy's father, they both knew the whereabouts of the little boy's father. They didn't want to quarrel any more, and all that was left in the hall was the howl of the little boy crying and grabbing the ground.
"Take him to the backyard. Lin Suqing said to Xia Yuniao.
The rest is to listen to their respective reasons, and when they heard this, Lin Suqing was shocked, and all of them were family members who suddenly evaporated from the world and lost their whereabouts.
Don't think about it, don't think about it, he already expected the reason.
Their missing family members, all without exception, have become the meat of Gu Eagle's plate.
"Boss Qin, you speak!"
Seeing him silent, seeing him meditating, and seeing his frowning brows, everyone suddenly became even more anxious.
