Chapter Seventy-One: Bloody Swaddling
I don't know how long later, Master and I came to a small mountain, looking at the mountain in front of us, Master said casually, "Is this the Longtou Ridge?" Why can't there be any towns and villages in this area? With that, the Master walked briskly to the hillside, looked around, walked down again, and said, "Let's go around and maybe find someone, as long as there are people, it's not too late for us to inquire slowly!" ”
I calculated the hour, it was about midnight now, and if I couldn't find anyone, Master and I would find a place to sleep tonight, maybe we would have to sleep in the barren mountains and mountains again. Not even the opportunity to sleep in the open. But just after taking two steps, Master suddenly stopped, turned back to me and said, "In order to save time, let's go separately, this mountain is not big, we will meet on the other side then!" ”
"Oh." I answered, turned to the right, and the master turned left, and seeing the master's figure disappear into the night, I couldn't help but mutter, where can I find it in the middle of the night! Just find a place to sleep and wait until tomorrow morning when I get up again, and then tell Master that I haven't found it. But this mountain is not very big, and if Master goes to the other side and doesn't see me, and then knows that I stay where I am and sleep, maybe he will punish me.
Think about it and go find it.
But there seemed to be a small forest in front of me, I thought about it, turned my head to look at Longtou Ridge, and murmured in my heart: "There shouldn't be any mountain spirits and ghosts here, right?" I don't have a master by my side, what if I encounter a mountain spirit and a ghost? "After thinking about it, I hurriedly touched the yellow cloth bag on my body, thinking about the magic weapon inside, my heart relaxed a little, as long as I am not the master of the big man, I can't do anything with me!
But I walked quickly through the grove and walked for a while, and I realized that I really wanted to circle this dragon head ridge, but it was not possible to do it in an hour or two, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to meet Master on the other side until tomorrow morning! Just as I was thinking wildly, inexplicably, I stepped forward with my eyes wide open, and saw that there seemed to be the outline of a village in front of me, and in the night, it looked like a forest, but it looked like a village.
Anyway, as long as there were people, I ran quickly towards the small village with hope. After a while, I came to the entrance of this small village and took a general look, and there seemed to be no other villages nearby. Well, I'm just going to settle here tonight, and if Master can come in a hurry, it's best, and if he finds a place to stay elsewhere, I might as well go back tomorrow morning to find Master. Thinking about it, I hurried into the village.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly stopped again, and only heard a figure walking not far to the right of the village entrance. frowned, it's so late, why are there still people hanging around outside the village? Unable to resist the curiosity in my heart, I turned back again, walked to the right, and soon caught up with the person in front of me, and when I got closer, I realized that this was a young woman in her twenties, but she was unkempt hair, ragged, walking like a zombie, her face was pale and bloodless, and most importantly, her eyes were blank, step by step, walking slowly.
When I saw something she was carrying, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you, how do you carry your child in your hands?" What if the child falls?! While talking, I saw a swaddling cloth in the hands of this sister-in-law, and inside the swaddling clothes, it was clearly the appearance of a newborn baby, and her hand was just lifting the strap on the swaddling clothes, once her hand slipped, the child in the swaddling clothes would probably fall to the ground.
But after I finished speaking, I didn't see any reaction from this woman, which made me speechless in surprise, is this woman a madman? It's just that how can a madman conceive a child and have a child? No one cares about this village, it's too inhumane, right? I was about to take the swaddling clothes from the woman's hand, but when the woman turned around, she walked over to a large rock, bent down and sat down, and in my astonishment, she casually placed the swaddling clothes on the stone.
I hurriedly came to the swaddling clothes and couldn't help but blame: "You are so irresponsible, how can the newborn child be put aside so casually?" Besides, this kid doesn't cry or make trouble, you see how sensible you are, but it's a pity why you ...... Don't you feel sorry for your child? Also, looking at how you are dressed, is there something going on at home? What kind of village is this? Why didn't anyone come out to support it, so the village party secretary in the village came out to take care of your mother and son! ”
Here I said one thing after another, but this woman was still sitting there with her back to me, not even looking back at the baby child. This made me even more depressed, since I was so irresponsible for my child, why did I give birth in the first place? I hurriedly said, "I'm asking you!" Are you from this village? Why are you and the child outside the village? What about the people in the village? Still is...... Or are you also from out of town? ”
Again, strangely enough, the woman was still sitting with her back to me, not saying a word. I scratched my forehead, and then sighed lightly: "Even if something happens at home, you should also think about the child, after all, this child has just been born and needs someone to take care of it. ”
Hey! I dared to love me for a long time, but this woman didn't listen to her heart at all!
This made the anger in my heart flutter, but just when I was about to cross my waist and accuse this woman, I was shocked to find that this woman stood up, ignored the infant child, and walked straight into the distance. Seeing her legs stiff and walking forward step by step, I hurriedly chased a few steps, and asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why did you leave the child behind?" Sister-in-law, if what I just said is offensive, I hope you don't take it to heart, in fact, I am also for the good of your mother and son, so my tone is a little heavier. Sister-in-law, don't just care about leaving! ”
After chasing for several steps, I saw that the woman was still walking forward regardless of it, but I could not continue to chase like this, and when I turned my head, I saw that the swaddling clothes were still on the stones, and if I continued to chase this woman, it would be troublesome if the child was taken away by something. If there are wild boars and wild dogs in this area, it will be very dangerous!
In desperation, I sighed deeply and shouted to the woman, "If you want to go, go away!" I took this child to your village party secretary and asked your village party secretary to make decisions for this child, I don't believe it, a good child can still die in your hands! Turning around and coming to the swaddling clothes in a huff, I remembered the scene of the woman slipping around the swaddling clothes in my hand before, and I couldn't help but be even more angry, how could there be such a mother in the world? It's so infuriating!
But I just wanted to reach out and pick up the baby in swaddling clothes, but I was attracted by the appearance of this swaddling clothes, this swaddling clothes are wrapped in a shabby small quilt, but the big red flowers on this small quilt, why are so many still so colorful?! I bent over to take a closer look, but I first smelled a strong smell of blood, which made my scalp excited, and my hair almost stood on end, and I hurriedly looked at the swaddling clothes carefully, my calf trembled violently, and then quickly retreated.
Then, the color on the swaddling clothes is not a red flower, but ...... It's a pool of blood, which is clearly covered with blood! I reached out and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, then rubbed my eyes, this time, I slowly calmed down, and I could almost clearly smell the smell of blood wafting from it, really, really blood!
Slammed the back of my head, I almost forgot that I opened the Heavenly Eye, why didn't I open the Heavenly Eye just now to see if the woman was a human or a ghost! That's stupid! But when I looked up, I couldn't see the woman anymore, and I didn't know where she had gone. However, I turned around, slowly gathered my thoughts, and opened the eyes of heaven. It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, my legs trembled, and I almost sat down, and hurriedly reached out and took out a copper coin sword from the yellow cloth bag and pointed at the swaddling clothes on the stone, and my mouth was even more vague and shouted: "This, what the hell is this?!" ”
Under the gaze of the eye of heaven, the swaddling clothes were not swaddling clothes, but ...... It was a pile of rotten flesh that had turned black, and not only that, but there was still blood oozing under the rotten meat...... Seeing this, I hurriedly turned around and ran. I don't know what I did, but I know very well that I've met a ghost!
It's too late to go back to the master, and besides, I don't know where the master has gone now, and I'm walking around the dragon head ridge like this, what if I meet that female ghost again along the way? No, I have to find someone first, since this is a village, there must be villagers in it, thinking of this, I didn't stop, I ran to the village quickly, and when I saw the gate, I patted it, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone at home?" Is there anyone at home?! ”
However, I shouted for a long time, but I saw that the lights in the yard were not lit, and I thought about it, either the house was not inhabited at all, or I just didn't hear my shouting. But I thought I was shouting loud enough, and it instantly provoked the dogs of the other people in the village to bark wildly. So I hurried to the door of the house where the dog was barking, slapped it vigorously, and shouted again, "Is there anyone in the house?" Open the door! Is there anyone at home?! ”
I can conclude that this house is inhabited, otherwise how could there be a dog, but I shouted for a long time, but I was disappointed, because the house inside is still not lit. Belch...... Why didn't the villagers here get up and open the door for me when they heard my shouts?!
