Chapter 1 Abandoned Infants

"Wow-"

With the cry of a baby, a new life was born. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, hey! It's a handle. Wife, the Nie family has a queen! Haha......" The young man proudly took the son from the midwife's hand, kissed it, laughed and handed the child to the young wife.

The woman on the clay kang was pale from postpartum blood loss, but there was a smile on the corner of her eyebrow. She held her son in her arms and looked at it as if admiring a priceless treasure.

The baby's cry continued, accompanied by the laughter of the adult.

The midwife looked at the young couple without saying a word, then turned and walked out the door. Looking up at the midday sky, the dark clouds obscured the sun, and she muttered something to her mouth and ran home as if she had fled.

It is no wonder that Nie Fuhou and his wife are overjoyed, the ancestors of the Nie family have been passed down for six generations, and now only Nie Fuhou is left. If there are no more descendants, his Nie family will be cut off from now on.

Liuhua Village is located in the mountain col, with more than 100 households and hundreds of people. The Nie family has a new heir, and there is an endless stream of simple villagers who come to the door to say goodbye, and even the oldest old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, Old Man Lu, has come to congratulate him, but, for some reason, the midwife never showed up again. Nie Fuhou came to the door to deliver the money, but she didn't go out, and she didn't want the money.

When people are overjoyed, they often lack a string in their heads. Nie Fuhou and his wife were immersed in the joy of having a noble son, so they didn't take to heart the abnormal reaction of the midwife who had always valued money. It's just that the baby's abnormal performance has to make the two of them tired.

It's been more than ten days, and the baby hasn't opened his eyes to see the world. This is nothing, after all, there are babies who don't open their eyes for more than 20 days, but crying day and night is unbearable. Especially in the dead of night, the baby's cry is particularly harsh. The two of them couldn't sleep well, and every time the baby cried, the dogs in the village would bark incessantly, so that the whole village could not sleep peacefully. The young mother had no choice but to stuff the ** in the baby's mouth for a long time. The crying was quiet, and the barking of the dog gradually stopped. After more than a month, the husband and wife were very embarrassed, and their smiles faded day by day.

Another discovery made the smiles of the two completely disappear, and their brows gradually furrowed. They found that their son was so soft and boneless, like fresh noodles, that he couldn't sit still. Leaning on a pillow or leaning against a wall, you can't do it, you can only lie flat! Even though it's not deformed, it's disturbing to look at.

The two of them did not trouble Old Man Lu. The child cried vigorously, and Old Man Lu shook his head with a smile, it's okay; The child's cartilage, Old Man Lu still shook his head, no problem. The little couple is not good at facing the old man, and secretly slandering himself behind his back, if you are not your child, of course you are fine! Their small mountain village is far away from other villages and towns, and there is only such a doctor in the village, and the two of them are worried, but they are helpless.

Speaking of this old man Lu, the people in the village have long been surprised. First of all, the age, decades, the old man has always been in his eighties, deaf, blind, although the clothes are a little sloppy, but the face is ruddy, and the walk is like the wind. I have nothing to do with tai chi, and I have three meals and a little wine. There are also a few old men who used to follow the comparison of Tai Chi, but unfortunately it is useless! It's still the same as the old and the old, and the one who should go. Then the old man treats the villagers, and he thinks that he can be cured, and the natural medicine will cure the disease, and the consultation fee will be large; If he thinks that he is hopeless, the gods will not move him. When someone calls him an old fairy to his face, he doesn't like it; When someone scolded him to his face for being an old madman, he was not annoyed. They all smiled and treated it indifferently.

The "old madman" didn't show it, but Nie Fuhou and his wife couldn't turn a blind eye. When the child was born, the young couple was still thinking about giving the child a nice name, but neither of them had much culture and couldn't remember it for a while. Later, when he saw that the child had been crying and was bothered by hypochondriasis, he forgot about the name.

Half a year later, the child finally opened his eyes. The little couple only looked at it and were frightened. The little daughter-in-law was so frightened that she threw the child out at once. Fortunately, it was thrown on the kang head, and there was a futon to follow, otherwise, the child would not know what would happen! The child was crying on the kang, and the two hugged each other and shivered.

It turned out that the child also had a problem with his eyes. Most people have one eye and one pupil, black and white. This child has four pupils in both eyes, and each eye has two pupils, just like the black eight lying horizontally. Although it is also black and white, at first glance, it makes people instantly frightened. I have never seen this difference, how can the little couple not be surprised?

Perhaps it was because of the day, and the child cried and fell asleep. It took a long time for Nie Fuhou and his wife to get rid of their fear, but their mood couldn't be calm.

"Old ...... Husband, I'm ...... I don't dare feed him anymore......" the woman whispered with a trill.

"Wife, he is ours after all...... Child. The man looked at the sleeping child and took the woman back into his arms.

Time passed in silence, and the baby opened his eyes to look at his parents, then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Don't cry, don't scream.

Seeing the baby's bewitching eyes again, the woman's heart trembled violently, and the man stroked the woman's back back and forth and sighed heavily.

"You can't be an adult, let's ...... We're still young......"

"I understand...... But ......"

After a long period of silence, the air seemed dull.

"Husband, I don't want to ...... like that"

"Hmmm......"

The woman fell into the man's arms and wept, tears wetting the man's clothes. The man hugged the woman tightly and seemed to have made a certain decision.

At dusk, the baby woke up. He slept for a long time this time, longer than every time he had fallen asleep in his mother's arms. He still didn't cry, and his bright eyes kept staring at the two who didn't know what their parents were, as if they wanted to imprint them in his mind.

After being stared at by strange eyes for a long time, the little couple turned away. The woman's body shook violently, and the man's heart beat violently. Who would believe it? Parents can be scared of their own children like this!

The baby cried a few times on and off, but failed to get the adult to turn around. He didn't even cry anymore, but his eyes kept looking at the adult's back and refused to close.

In the middle of the night, it was rare that there was no cry of a baby, and the villagers seemed to be sleeping deeply, and even the dogs did not bark. The figure of a man quietly walked out of the house, as if he was still holding a package in one arm and covering it with the other.

It was silent, except for the sound of heavy wheezing across the night sky. The man walked fast.

The crescent moon did not rise into the sky, and the starry sky was exceptionally bright. A few miles away from Liuhua Village, there was a boulder in the depths of the canyon, and a gust of wind blew, revealing the face of a baby in swaddling clothes behind the stone. The baby's eyes were bright, he looked straight into the night sky, and he giggled. The sound is crisp and travels far through the canyon. If someone hears the sound, they will feel strange and inexplicable.

After spending a day in apprehension, Nie Fuhou and his wife returned from the field, and before they entered the house, they heard the baby's cry, and their voices were hoarse and weak. The little couple was instantly frightened and didn't dare to enter the house. The baby cried a few times, but then it stopped.

After a long break in the night wind, the woman said weakly, "Throw it into the wilderness." If you return it...... We...... Just go......"

The man ran into the house in a panic and quickly ran out again. The night is quiet and the mountain sky is empty, and a few black cries are frightening.

It took a long time for the man to run back, panting and getting into the bed, hugging his wife and still shivering. Perhaps because of exhaustion, the little couple slept with their necks crossed, and they slept all day. At sunset, the two woke up, and suddenly caught a glimpse in their sleepy eyes that the baby was lying in the clay kang, with a tender white finger wrapped in his mouth, sleeping sweetly.

"Ahh

The woman's screams were heard, triggering several dog barks.

The little couple climbed down the kang in panic, picked up some scattered copper coins, snatched the door, and disappeared into the night outside Liuhua Village. Under the big willow tree, a figure looked at the distant figure and shook his head, and sighed: "Alas! Ruthlessly throw away the flesh and bones, and the blessing is a thought! After a while, the man said to himself, "Yes, how can the laity know such good material and good quality?" ”

There are flowers in Liuhua Village, and there are willow trees outside the village, like a paradise. The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. However, the news of the disappearance of Nie Fuhou's family of three was finally discovered by the villagers. Although the villagers thought the baby was a little strange from the time it was born, they only muttered in private. Now that the whole family is gone, some people think of the midwife, but the midwife, who has always been active, has actually practiced a closed-mouth meditation, just shaking her head, but not speaking.

Although the matter was strange, the villagers talked about it for a few days. Not long after, a piece of news attracted the attention of the villagers, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. The news came from a middle-aged man who went out but returned in embarrassment. He told people that the situation in northern Xinjiang was critical, there were rebels in the country, and the wars were continuous, and the Sun and Moon Dynasty was running out......

None of them noticed that there was another person in the mountain village who had not been seen for many days.
