"Put down the kids!" "Let the kids go!" There was an angry shout from afar, and Wu Zhiyuan quickly found everyone's figure.

I saw a bunch of people blocking the mouth of an alley, all holding sticks high, threatening in unison towards the alley, mixed with bursts of crying and begging from time to time. Everyone's attention was focused on the alley, and when Wu Zhiyuan got into the crowd, no one noticed him. He gently pushed through the crowd and squeezed in front of the crowd, only then did he see the situation in the alley.

It is a dead end, with three walls more than a person high, and the walls are flat and there is no place to climb with the help of the help. At the head of the alley was a man with a baby in his arms, a yellow turban wrapped around his head, tightly wrapped around his head, wearing a gray cloth shirt and a pair of brown pants on his legs.

Wu Zhiyuan saw that the man had a white face, thin eyebrows and big eyes, although he was a man, he had the charming temperament of a woman. At this time, he held the baby tightly in his arms, and the baby cried incessantly, facing the villagers who were blocking the entrance of the alley, his face was panicked, and his eyes were panicked.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't understand what was going on, and without knowing it, he wouldn't come forward to help anyone, just stand in the inconspicuous crowd and watch the development of the situation.

"Let that kid go!" "We'll kill you!" …… The crowd roared angrily, not giving the man a chance to speak, and the man was obviously terrified in front of the crowd, his pupils widened.

"Please, I beg you, let my child go, he's not a full moon yet, I beg you......" A middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the man at the head of the alley like garlic.

Seeing this, Wu Zhiyuan guessed a little bit in his heart, looking at the age of this man, it is not much different from that of a middle-aged woman, he is likely to be the husband of this middle-aged woman, the two may have quarreled, so they ran out of the house with the child, but why are the villagers so indignant, there may be some unknown reasons, Wu Zhiyuan intends to continue to watch.

When the man saw the middle-aged woman's kowtowing action, he was obviously moved by compassion, and his face showed a moment of hesitation, but in this moment of hesitation, the crowd was angry and threw a stone at the man, and the stone happened to hit the man's head impartially. The stone was not big, but under the blow, blood flowed like a torrent, and blood flowed down his cheeks.

The man touched his face, put his hand in front of his eyes and looked at it, and was immediately surprised, he screamed "ah", raised his hand and the baby fell to the ground!

Before the man's "ah" cry was finished, Wu Zhiyuan felt that his voice was a little weird, but this feeling was only fleeting, because there was no time to think about it at this time, Wu Zhiyuan saw the man drop the baby in his arms, and rushed forward with a lightning speed, just catching the baby who was about to land, and then rolled on the spot, which stabilized his figure.

When everyone at the mouth of the alley saw this series of thrilling scenes, they all closed their mouths and stood on the spot in shock. After a moment of silence, the middle-aged woman rushed to Wu Zhiyuan, snatched the baby from Wu Zhiyuan's arms, ran to the wall and hugged the child and kissed and cried.

At this moment, the man turned to face the wall, jumped violently, grabbed the wall, rubbed his feet against the wall, and was about to flee over the wall.

After seeing the man's ruthless behavior of smashing the baby, Wu Zhiyuan concluded that he was by no means a good person, and without thinking much about it in the crisis, he reached out and took out a piece of ocean from his coat pocket and threw it at the man who climbed over the wall.

If Wu Zhiyuan's vitality was not abolished at this time, and he poured his vitality into the ocean, it would not be a problem for this ocean to be embedded in the man's flesh, but at this time, he had no vitality cultivation, and this ocean was only equivalent to an ordinary hard object, and the power was not great.

Fortunately, the ocean happened to hit the man's ankle, and the man was already panicked, and when he was in pain, he suddenly lost his head under his feet, and accidentally fell off the wall and fell heavily to the ground.

When everyone saw it, they immediately swarmed up, punching and kicking the man, adding sticks, and at the beginning the man was still covering his head with both hands, crying again and again, and then curled up and gradually stopped moving.

"Stop! Stop it, everyone! Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that this man was a little pitiful, and besides, if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely kill someone, so he hurriedly shouted to stop everyone, but everyone was beating and scolding, the scene was extremely chaotic, and no one could hear his stop at all.

Seeing that the man was lying on the ground and no longer moving, and everyone was tired of fighting, they stopped one by one, Wu Zhiyuan stepped forward to take a look, the man's face was covered with blood, and he had already lost his appearance.

"Dead?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Wu Zhiyuan nodded silently.

"Good death!" "Good death!" "It's just to kill him!" …… Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and it could be seen that they hated this man to the core.

"Who is he?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in front of everyone.

Everyone was silent at this question.

"You don't know him?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned and said, "He's not from this village?" He didn't expect his guess to be wrong.

Someone in the crowd began to shake their heads, no matter what, it was a human life, and now a dead body was in front of him, and whoever said more would be suspected of taking the lead in killing people, although the ruling class was now more chaotic, but the concept of killing people to pay for their lives has long been ingrained in the hearts of these villagers.

The crowd began to fall silent, and after a while, the woman holding the baby by the wall came to Wu Zhiyuan, and knelt down for Wu Zhiyuan with a "tom".

"Big brother, benefactor, thank you for saving my child, thank you." The village woman's words were simple, but her gratitude was very sincere.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly helped the woman up and said a few kind words.

At this time, someone in the crowd said: "Brother, I'm sorry just now, we misunderstood you, that's why we ......" One person apologized, and everyone followed to apologize, and everyone looked at Wu Zhiyuan in unison.

Wu Zhiyuan understood that they were referring to the fact that he had beaten him when he first entered the village, and now seeing this scene, he naturally understood the truth. So he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

"However, I can see that you all seem to have prepared in advance, and I wonder what is happening in this village?" Wu Zhiyuan asked as soon as he spoke.

"Big brother, let's not hide it, the reason why the whole village is panicked is because in less than five days, three children have been stolen from our village in a row." The village woman standing in front of the crowd with the baby in her arms replied, and the baby had stopped crying when she returned to her mother's arms.

"Stealing children?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "How old are these three children?" ”

"The eldest is five or six years old, and the youngest is less than a month old." Someone in the crowd was the first to answer.

Wu Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this, if the stolen children were all children in their early tens, it was very likely that they were arrested to do child labor, and now they even stole babies in swaddling clothes, then this matter is not simple, because at this time, the people are living miserably, and it is very reluctant for a family not to starve, and no one wants to have another child to eat.

After a moment of silence, Wu Zhiyuan turned around and walked towards the man lying on the ground, judging from the agility of his actions to climb the wall, it was obvious that this person did not know how to cultivate his vitality, otherwise he would not have been beaten to death by everyone so easily. Wu Zhiyuan leaned over to take a closer look, and saw that the man's neck was not soaked in blood, and his skin was fair, and he looked like a man, but this skin was very much like a woman.

At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly discovered something strange, the man wrapped his hair in a yellow turban, generally speaking, few women use a turban to wrap their hair so tightly, not to mention a big man, seeing that there was hair exposed on the edge of the turban, Wu Zhiyuan reached out and pulled the turban off.

After tearing off the turban, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly sighed when he saw it, the man actually had a long braid coiled on the top of his head.

The Qing Dynasty has been extinct for more than ten years, and there are still people with braids, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the identity of this man was a little suspicious, he thought about it carefully, growing hair and braids is a regulation after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, that is to say, the Manchurians have the custom of keeping braids, at this time the Manchu Dynasty said that although it has fallen, but the custom of Manchurians to keep braids still exists, is this man a Manchurian?

Regardless of his identity, stealing children must have been premeditated in advance, and the stolen children must have been used for something, otherwise they would not have stolen one after another.

The crowd gathered around, and when they saw the man's long braids, they began to talk about it, some said that it might be a remnant of the Manchu court, some said that it might be a madman from a village, and some even said that it might be a zombie from the Qing Dynasty. In short, one by one, the words are conclusive.

Wu Zhiyuan stood up and told everyone: "Everyone should take good care of their children day and night in the future, this child who stole the child was killed, it doesn't mean that he has no accomplices." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, saying yes again and again, and suddenly, a middle-aged man behind Wu Zhiyuan shouted in surprise: "Look, this person doesn't have that kind of words!" ”

"What's that?" Wu Zhiyuan suddenly turned his head and saw that the middle-aged man was stepping on the corpse, so he asked strangely, "What are you talking about?" ”

"That's it...... It is...... The man's words. The middle-aged man was a little ashamed and stammered in reply, because there were many village women in the crowd, which made him a little embarrassed to speak.

Wu Zhiyuan still didn't understand the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, and there was a puzzled look on his face.

"It's the one in the crotch of the pants that you used to have sex with your wife!" A stout middle-aged woman in the crowd shouted with a grin.

Wu Zhiyuan suddenly realized that he had no time to be ashamed, but stepped forward a few steps, bent down and squatted on the crotch of the man's corpse and touched it a few times, and sure enough, he found that the man had no reproductive organs.

He can't be humane!
