Chapter 25: The Mad Woman
In front of him, there was a constant flow of people and rivers, Yang Peng felt that the child behind him had fallen asleep, and he didn't bother, his eyes swept over the crowd again and again, and kept searching.
Walking forward slowly, a cry shouted: "My son, where have you been!" The surrounding voices were full of voices, although the sound was small, but they were still caught, and for some reason there was a trace of madness in the voice, although they were puzzled, they still walked where the voice came.
After walking for a short time, I saw a woman appear in front of me, her hair was disheveled, her hair was very long to cover her face, her clothes were in tatters, her head and body kept shaking up and down, and her mouth kept shouting, "My child!"
But the people passing by around him did not stop to help him, and some were only two little boys, who kept shouting:
"Ugly bastards, crazy women, sinners, looking for children!
At this time, the child behind him woke up at some point, jumped down from Yang Peng's back, and roared.
The child was dressed in plain clothes and had a thin body, and he rushed towards the gorgeously dressed child in front of him, much higher than him, and his steps were firm.
The two little boys looked at him with a startled expression, then turned their heads to look at each other, and then smiled evilly, and rubbed their hands.
Just as the child rushed at them, their fists barely a foot from the child's head, a figure came up to them, their fists landing on a pair of scarred hands, and the child hit his head behind him.
The two boys looked up at the sight they would never forget, and in front of them was the mad woman, whose face was hardly a piece of good flesh, and scars that crisscrossed her face like maggots, large and small, wriggling.
The two boys sat on the ground with their faces pale, and sat motionless on the ground.
And then there was a voice behind him: "Mom!" The voice was weak and stalking.
The madwoman turned around and picked up the child, spun around quickly, and shouted, "My child, it's back!"
Just as she was spinning, Yang Peng and the woman saw her face and couldn't help but gasp, who could be so ruthless.
But Yang Peng's heart was also puzzled at the same time, with her skills just now, it was obvious that only cultivators would have it, but if she wanted to see through her cultivation, there was always a layer of thick fog that made it difficult for Yang Peng to see through.
The people around looked at the madwoman and left her at a distance, and the disgust in their eyes was overflowing.
At this moment, a burly man came, looked at the two boys sitting on the ground, and scolded: "Two wastes, living such a shitty life, don't call me master in the future, shame on me!"
The two boys were stunned, and immediately jumped up from the spot, ran to the burly man, and pointed at the madwoman, who said something unpleasant, but still listened to them to the last sentence.
Immediately, the burly man shouted: "Arrest, you crazy woman, you dare to harm my disciples, I can't eat with you today." β
The man casually picked up a stone and threw it at the madwoman with all his strength, and behind the man, the two boys looked at them with a mocking expression.
The madwoman didn't seem to see it, and kept holding the child and spinning, just as the stone flew towards them, Yang Peng looked at the speed and trajectory of the stone's flight and the speed of the woman's rotation, and the stone must have hit the child.
At this moment, the woman's rotation was slow, and the stone fell on the woman with a "bang", and her voice was as usual, without a momentary abnormality.
In his mouth: "Babble!", he kept screaming and ran behind Yang Peng.
Just as she passed by Yang Peng, the woman glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, only the child in her arms shouted excitedly: "Come on, come on, big brother!"
looked at the man and his so-called disciple, shook his head and followed behind the woman, the woman also followed Yang Peng, and the group disappeared into the depths of the cornerγγγγγγ
Only the triumphant laughter of the big man and the scolding of the two boys remainedγγγγγγ
All the way to a broken stone house, and the road ran for a long time with a stick of incense, and the madwoman did not stop for a moment, although her breathing was a little disturbed, and she was still holding the child.
Yang Peng thought to himself: Even a young strong man can't do this, plus the previous two doubts, this woman must have something strange!
The madwoman ran straight inside with the child in her arms, and the child waved her little hand at Yang Peng with a smile on her face, signaling them to come in together, Yang Peng smiled and strode forward.
The madwoman sat on a pile of straw with a demented look on her face and laughed from time to time, while the child sat on a piece of broken cotton wool, and the rattle on her hands shook with a "thump".
When the child saw Yang Peng come in, he said loudly: "Big brother, big brother, I have a lot of fun here, I'll play with you!" His face was full of innocent smiles.
Seeing him seemed to see himself when he was a child, he was so innocent and cute, and the laughter pierced his soul and melted Yang Peng's heart.
Yang Peng said softly: "Yes, okay, let's play together." He and the child soon blended together, making a fuss together, rejoicing together, and the woman watched quietly, her eyes moistened, as if she had thought of something, and the missing part of her heart was slowly filled up at some point.
Just as they were all blending in, the madwoman stood silently, left the stone house, and disappeared into a forest.
