Chapter 80: Picking Up a Doll (I)

The coachman whipped the horse, and the horse-drawn cart ran forward quickly, and after a bumpy road, he finally saw a tea shed at a fork in the road.

The carriage stopped, and Zhuo Ran and I got out of the car and entered the tea shed.

An old man walked over: "Please sit down inside." ”

"Is there anything to eat?" I asked him.

"In the wilderness, there are only wild vegetable dumplings and tea, don't you know how many people want to eat?" The old man said.

"That's it." Zhuo Ran replied.

We sat down in the tea shed and called the coachman over, and the people worked hard to catch the car, and they had to eat more.

The coachman thanked him and sat down at the table. The old man brought the wild vegetable dumplings and tea to the table, and then retreated.

Wild vegetable dumplings, just listen to the name and can't eat anywhere, but I still have the mentality of trying it and fork one with bamboo chopsticks.

"Well, it's so delicious, even better than my wife's cooking."

I haven't eaten yet, and the coachman's words came from the side, and I looked at him suspiciously, is it really that delicious?

"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, it's really too delicious." The driver smiled apologetically at me.

I went to see Zhuo Ran again, and he was also munching on a vegetable dumpling with relish.

Hesitantly, he took a small bite and chewed it, well, the taste is really good, although it is not enough to talk about the melting of the mouth, the fragrance of the lips and teeth, and the unique lightness of the mountains.

After eating two in one go, it was considered full, and Zhuo Ran and the coachman ate five each.

After drinking tea and settling the bill, we continued on our way.

It's a bumpy ride again, and there are no people in sight, only a winding mountain path.

It was getting dark soon, and we were still on this mountain path, so we wouldn't be sleeping in the wilderness tonight, and there were no tents or anything, and the space in the carriage was limited, and it would certainly not be comfortable to sleep in it.

"Master, you stop the car first. There's a temple here, so we'll just spend the night here tonight. Zhuo Ran said suddenly.

The carriage came to a halt under the manoeuvring man's control. I looked over to him, and outside the window behind him, there was a temple-like building.

After getting off the bus, I looked closely, and the door of the temple was open, there was no light inside, and there was a smell of rotting wood.

"Are you sure you want to stay here?" I say.

"Otherwise, you can only sleep in the carriage." Zhuo Ran said and took out the fire fold and blew it on, and went to the temple gate alone.

"Wow......"

A child's cry startled the three people present. Zhuo Ran took two steps back: "What's the matter, where is the cry?" ”

"Could it be a night owl?" The coachman looked around and said.

"It seems to come from inside." I pointed to the temple gate and said.

The crying continued, and the three of us didn't dare to move, and the cry became more intense, and I trembled in my heart when I heard it.

"Could it be that someone's child got lost and came here?" Zhuo Ran said.

The coachman said: "It is estimated that it is a wild cat in heat......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Ran and I looked at him with a brush, and he consciously lost his mouth and instinctively stopped his mouth.

"I'll go in and have a look." Zhuo Ran said.

"I'll go in with you, it's easy to deal with the danger." I say.

Zhuo Ran lifted the not very bright fire fold in front of him, and slowly moved forward, and I pulled the corner of his clothes behind me to follow.

I don't know why, Zhuo Ran is obviously a weak scholar, but he has a strange sense of security when he follows him. I don't know if it's because he looks like Chihiro, or if it's because he saved me two times before.

The temple was very dry, and as soon as you entered, you brought up a puff of choking dust. My throat was a little itchy, and I coughed twice to cover my nose.

The fire fold had a limited range of light, and I turned from behind Zhuo Ran to him, and the two of them slowly moved towards the place where the cry was coming from.

I subconsciously dragged Xia Aya in my hand, and suddenly heard Zhuo Ran shout: "Hey, it's really a child." ”

"Where?" I glanced around a few times, but I didn't see any children.

"There." Zhuo Ran said, pointing to a pile of hay two steps away.

I searched carefully, and there was a child, but the baby's swaddling clothes were the same color as hay, and it was hard to see that there was a small person lying there.

Zhuo Ran handed me the fire fold and wanted to go over, but I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Aren't you afraid that the child is a monster?" ”

Zhuo Ran let out a laugh and said, "If he wants to change, he won't become a child!" ”

"The red boy is also a child, and Tang Seng is not fooled and arrested." I say.

"This kid isn't red." Zhuo Ran broke free of my hand and stepped forward to pick up the child.

Miraculously, the child immediately stopped crying, and I was still struggling with Zhuo Ran's words: "Who said that red children are red!" What god logic. ”

"Look, this kid is so well-behaved." Zhuo Ran held the child in front of me.

The child in his hand is small, with small eyes, small mouth, small nose, and two small ears. It's cute indeed, but ......

"This kid is of unknown origin, do you want to take him to Beijing?" I say.

Zhuo Ran looked at me and said, "I don't know, but I can't just leave it here!" ”

"I don't know what's going on, if someone deliberately dropped it or what." I muttered.

"What now?"

Zhuoran asked me, who did I ask?

There was footsteps behind him, and the coachman's voice came: "What's going on." ”

Zhuo Ran and I turned around at the same time, and the coachman sighed and said in surprise: "Whose child?" ”

"I picked it up right here." I pointed behind me.

"Wow......" Suddenly, the child began to cry again.

"What to do, why is he crying again. Why does it stink so much? Zhuo Ran said.

When he said this, I also smelled a strange smell. The coachman said, "Did you pull the ......?"

"Look at it." I said Zhuoran.

Zhuo Ran put the child back on the haystack again, opened the swaddling clothes, and quietly warmed up the surrounding temperature in order to prevent the child from freezing.

"Really, what should I do?" Zhuo Ran said after looking at it.

"Big brother, please help me bring the baggage on the car, thank you!" After I finished speaking to the driver, I asked Zhuo Ran again: "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

"It's a girl." Zhuo Ran paused after speaking, and said, "Why don't you come, you are more meticulous in this kind of thing." ”

"Childe, bring it." The coachman came in and handed me the baggage.

I opened the bag and found a clean dress, and I said, "You clean her first, and then wrap her in this dress." ”

"What do I wipe it with?" Zhuo was at a loss.

I took out another piece of clothing and handed it to Zhuo Ran: "Use this." ”

"Don't you want to change?" Zhuo Ran didn't answer.

"What's so wide for, just buy it then, hurry up."

Zhuo Ran took it, and then clumsily helped the child clean up, and finally the two worked together to wrap the child in clean clothes.

I picked up some waste wood from the temple and made a fire, and I used a relatively clean wooden stick to string the steamed buns given by the coachman and roast them on the fire.

The child was crying again, presumably hungry. Since you have encountered it, you can't let it go.

After a while, the steamed bread was baked, and the water brought by the coachman was borrowed again, and a large leaf picked from the outside was washed, and the burnt layer on the outside of the steamed bread was removed, and the soft part of the inside was pinched out and placed on the leaves, and then softened with water and fed to the child.

Maybe it's really hungry, the child doesn't look big, but he eats well.
