When Dongsheng returned to the cave with the small package, the village chief was wrapping the baby's package more tightly. The village chief asked Fang Rui to take the small package and motioned for him to open it, and the package was actually four gold bars and an eye-shaped jade pendant.

"This gold bar is a reward for a few of you. Putting this jade pendant on your child when you leave will ensure that you can safely get out of the maze on the night of the Midyear Festival. The village chief said.

"Village chief, you don't have to give us gold bars!" Fang Rui waved his hand!

"No, please take it! This gold bar is useless in the village, so why not let it reflect its value? The village chief said, "I will take care of this child for the past two days, and I will send you away the night after tomorrow." ”

Seeing that the village chief was so resolute, Fang Rui and Li Lei could only accept the gold bars and jade pendants.

On the way back, Li Lei, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Don't tell Sun Xiaoxiao and Su Su everything when you go back later, I think the less people know about this matter, the better." ”

"But how do you explain that baby when you leave?" Fang Rui asked.

"Let's just say that the village asked us to send us to an outside hospital for treatment. And those gold bars, I don't think we can take them! When you go out, exchange the gold bars for money and leave them to the family who is willing to adopt the child in the future! Li Lei thought for a while.

"Okay!" Fang Rui nodded in agreement.

After going back, Sun Xiaoxiao and Su Suzheng were anxiously waiting for them to come back, and the gossipy Sun Xiaoxiao kept asking about the child she had just given birth to, but fortunately, Li Lei said a few words to send Sun Xiaoxiao away. Su Su was not interested, and beckoned Li Lei and Fang Rui to hurry up and eat lunch. Fang Rui realized that it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and he was already hungry, and devoured the unpalatable lunch.

As soon as he put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, the hunchback man rushed in anxiously, sweating profusely, and shouted at Fang Rui and the others: "Camel baby, he... He... The more anxious he was, the more inarticulate he became, and he was so anxious that the camel stomped his feet again and again.

"Camel baby?" Fang Rui thought for a moment and asked, "Your son?" ”

"Uh-huh!" The camel nodded hurriedly.

"We've given him the medicine, what's the matter, it's still not good?" Li Lei asked.

"Uh-huh!" The camel continued to nod.

"Then let's go check it out!" Li Lei said and stood up.

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Sun Xiaoxiao felt that it was too boring to stay in the house all the time, so she immediately followed.

"This... Li Lei glanced at Su Su.

"Go ahead, I'll be fine alone." Su Su said busily.

Following the camel back to his house, the already dark room became even darker and uncertain because of the cloudy weather in the afternoon. There was a smell of urine in the room, and if you looked closely, the child had woken up and was standing on the bed, and his lower body was wet, could it be bedwetting? His face was paler and faintly gray than before, and his eyes were red and bloodshot. Those eyes looked straight ahead, as if they had lost their souls.

For some reason, Fang Rui always felt that there seemed to be a layer of phantom overlapping on this child's body, and that shadow was like a skeleton with only a pair of eyeballs remaining.

"Camel baby, camel baby." The camel was at a loss but did not dare to step forward, hesitated for a long time before taking a step forward, and the child cracked his mouth and screamed, and his eyes were wide and round.

"This is a child with a high fever and convulsions!" Li Lei said.

Fang Rui didn't answer, the skeleton phantom flickered from before entering the door to now no longer flickering, glaring at them all the time.

"Convulsions? I don't think so. Sun Xiaoxiao shook his head, and then suddenly asked the camel on the side, "Is there a big rooster in your village?" ”

"Big? Yes. The camel nodded.

"Go get some big rooster blood." Sun Xiao said with a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, don't mess around." Li Lei wanted to stop it, but the camel son had already rushed out.

"This village is weird enough to come according to the abnormal process. Isn't that right, Master? Sun Xiaoxiao turned his head and asked Fang Rui.

Fang Rui was speechless, he didn't know if the rooster blood was useful, but this place was indeed weird, and he didn't think that the camel baby was a high fever and convulsions.

The camel came back quickly, carrying a clay bowl with a blood-red liquid in it. Sun Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and snatched the bowl of rooster blood, and splashed it directly at the camel baby.

I only heard the sound of water dripping into the oil pot, the camel baby grew up and roared, the bloodshot eyes were instantly black, the pupils turned red, and the body pounced on Sun Xiaoxiao.

"Wow!" Sun Xiaoxiao was so frightened that even the pottery bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

Fang Rui pulled Sun Xiaoxiao over, and his right hand subconsciously blocked the front.

The skeleton phantom possessed the camel baby, and it disappeared like dissipated smoke and dust the moment Fang Rui's right hand was lifted.

"Camel baby, camel baby!" The camel hugged the camel baby who collapsed to the ground, the phantom on the child's body was gone, but he also looked like he was less in and more out of breath, his face was as white as paper, and his kung fu in the blink of an eye became skinny and the two of them before.

"What's changed?" Sun Xiao laughed and was shocked.

The camel touched the baby's chest, and suddenly began to howl and cry.

Li Lei and Sun Xiaoxiao were suddenly frightened, why did the child who was just a cold and fever just now instantly described himself as dead and dead?

Fang Rui saw the book of life that gradually appeared from the body of the camel baby, it was a book of life with a broken corner of the cover and a crumpled appearance, which was slowly decomposing into grains of black dust... Scattered on the ground.

What's going on? Isn't the Book of Destiny supposed to be recovered by the octopus tentacles of the underworld after a person dies? Why did it disappear? It's gone, and it can't be reprinted! Could it be that ... The camel baby's life book is polluted? How did it get polluted?

Although full of questions, now is really not the time to ask, the death of the camel baby makes the camel cry heartbreakingly. Fang Rui also felt quite miserable when he thought about it, the eldest son's death was unknown. My wife gave birth to a child and was bleeding profusely, and now she is still lying down. The newborn daughter could only be sent away in tears.

The cry of the camel alarmed the other villagers, and even the camel's wife, who was lying in the next room, tried to struggle to come over.

After a long time of confusion, when the villagers were calming the camels, the village chief came.

After understanding the situation, the village chief asked the camel to hold on, after all, there was a blind sister-in-law to take care of. Fang Rui hesitated for a while, and finally seized an opportunity to ask the village chief: "Village chief, your village is the closest... Do you have... Ghosts? ”

"Ghosts?" The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't there all the resentful ghosts in the village? ”

"Village Chief, that's not what I meant." Fang Rui hurriedly explained, "The death of the camel baby... I guess I was possessed by an evil spirit. ”

Before leaving, Bai Jingjing repeatedly instructed him not to easily reveal his identity as a bookstore clerk, and Fang Rui could only change to a statement that was easier for everyone to accept.

After hearing this, the village chief shook his head and said, "Impossible, where did the evil ghosts come from in our village?" ”

"When you die, you are angry and you are prone to become evil spirits." Fang Rui said.

"Child, although all of us in our village are physically disabled and deformed, everyone has long accepted this arrangement of fate and will not resent anyone. Even for death, we yearn for it, because this sick body is our cage, and death is the only time we can get rid of it. After speaking, the village chief patted Fang Rui on the shoulder and walked away, leaving only Fang Rui, who was a little depressed.

If the evil spirits are not from the village, where did they come from? Could it be the child who took the book of life that night? Judging from the body shape, this child is not a camel baby. Grabbing a handful of hair, Fang Rui felt a little sore in his head.

"Fang Rui, what are you doing standing here?" Sun Xiaoxiao walked over and asked.

Fang Rui stared at him and asked, "Do you think the camel baby died of illness?" ”

"The devil believes it!" Sun Xiaoxiao lowered his voice and said, "It must be haunted by evil ghosts!" ”

"How do you know?" Fang Rui was a little surprised, could he also be able to read the book of life?

"Just look at your face!" Sun Xiaoxiao looked like a matter of course.

Forehead... All right! Fang Rui didn't expect that he couldn't hide things in his heart so easily, and he would be seen so easily.

"So I just went to talk to the villagers who came to help, and I didn't know if there was something useful?" Sun Xiaoxiao continued with a smug face, "The camel baby suddenly fell ill four days ago, and since then he has been lying in bed to recuperate, during which the villagers of the whole village have visited him one after another. The village chief also prescribed medicine to him, but it didn't work. The village chief's herbs are generally very curative, but for some reason they are useless for camel babies. ”

"That's because he's not sick, he's haunted by evil spirits. The question is, how did it get wrapped around the camel baby? Four days ago, where did the camel babies go? Did anything happen? Fang Rui asked.

"I thought about that too, so I inquired again. I heard that this child has always longed for the outside world, maybe he is still a child, and he is not very willing to stay in this small village, and often takes some things to test the miasma around the village. It was just after dawn when the camel baby went out to play, and some early risers saw him throwing stones into the miasma at the edge of the village. Later, when he was found again, he had fainted to the ground. Sun Xiaoxiao told Fang Rui the results of his inquiry.

What happened on the edge of the village, so the evil spirit came from outside? Although those miasma are lethal to living creatures, if they are evil spirits, can they still be stopped?
