Chapter 420: Overnight

There are many villages along the Yellow River, but they are all very poor, on the yellow land, unknown villages, more than dozens or hundreds of households, less than ten or twenty households, it can be said that it is a poor and remote area, these places because of sparse population, and it is not a tourist place, so there are few outsiders who usually come.

I walked along the banks of the Yellow River for a day, passing four or five villages along the way, but none of them knew about the "River Temple Village", let alone a river temple. When I asked them about the river temple, they had a river temple in almost every village, but the river temple I was looking for was not built by the villagers in the village, but in the Yellow River.

I went all the way, inquired all the way, and in the end there was no result. Although this place is a poor and remote country, sparsely populated, but fortunately, the villagers here are relatively simple and kind, begging for water and drinking, borrowing and living can meet the help of well-wishers, so as not to sleep outside.

On this day, I continued to look along the bank of the Yellow River, and it was another day of hard work, and when it was getting dark, I thought about going to find a house to borrow as soon as possible, so as not to sleep outside. But who knows, this time I encountered a strange thing.

It came to pass that it was getting dark, but there were no villages around me, so I searched all the way, and when it was about to get dark, I finally saw a house on the edge of the Yellow River, so I searched for it.

The house was lit up and inhabited by a middle-aged couple in their thirties, surnamed Li. When the couple saw that I was a foreigner and that there was nowhere to stay when they were passing by, they readily agreed and invited me into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I noticed that the house was unusual, because there were five or six children standing in the house, some boys and some girls, a large group, the youngest was only seven or eight years old, and the oldest was only about ten years old.

As soon as I saw such a group of children, I was very surprised, now this year has already implemented the family planning policy, although this is a rural area, but the government can not let you have so many children, and these children are about the same age, can you have five or six children in two or three years?

Curious, I casually asked, "Brother Li, why do you have so many children in your family, are they all yours?" ”

Brother Li smiled, pointed to one of the little boys with tiger heads and said: "That is my child, the rest of the children are probably from the neighboring village, playing with my son on the edge of the Yellow River in the evening, and now I don't see the adults coming to pick them up so late, so I can ask them to come to the house for dinner first." ”

"Oh?" I nodded, and then glanced at the other five or six children, it didn't matter, but I was startled when I saw that there was something wrong with these five or six children!

The children were all pale as paper, bloodless, and there was a trail of wet water under each of the children's feet where they stood. Seeing this, I immediately opened the eye of the sky, and then I was shocked, and secretly screamed in my heart, where the hell are these children, they are clearly a group of ghosts who have fallen into the water!

I saw that these five or six children seemed to be very afraid of me since they beat me into the house, and they all showed their fear, and hid to the side and did not dare to approach.

Seeing this, I know that this family has been targeted by a drowning ghost, and if I am not mistaken, the child of this family will probably have something to do.

Although I was very shocked in my heart, I didn't call out immediately, but asked Brother Li: "Don't you know these children?" ”

Brother Li shook his head and said that he didn't know, that is, he had only seen them in the past two days, because his son had been playing with this group of children for the past two days.

Hearing this, I also had a bottom in my heart, so I turned my head and asked Brother Li's child what his name was.

My brother's child is very smart and sensible, and he is not afraid of life, so tell me his name is Mingming. So I asked him, and I said, "Obviously, do you often play with these children?" ”

The child nodded and said, "Well, they are friends I just met, and they said to come to my house today and take me to their house in the evening." ”

I smiled and touched his head, and at this time, Brother Li asked me to sit down for a while, and he turned around and went into the kitchen, busy cooking dinner with his wife.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, and it could be seen that Brother Li and his wife had specially added a few dishes, and they were also extremely enthusiastic, and asked me to eat again and again. Seeing that Brother Li is so kind-hearted, I also know that they are a very good person, and I think that when this happens, I must help them.

After dinner, the group of children shouted that they were going home, and said that they would take Brother Li's son to their house as a guest.

Brother Li was not at ease, saying that their parents did not come to pick them up, so it was better to stay at his house at night.

But those children just wanted to take Brother Li's children away and ask for their lives, how could they stay, so they shouted that they knew the way, and they usually played until dark and went home by themselves.

Children in rural areas are more wild, and there are few outsiders in rural areas, so they don't worry about human traffickers or the like, so in rural areas, parents are generally more careless, which is the status quo.

Brother Li saw that the group of children were so persistent, and the eldest of them was also in their teens, so Brother Li was ready to relax, and planned to let them bring their children to their house as guests.

As soon as I saw that Brother Li was about to agree, where would I watch his children being pulled away by the water ghosts, I immediately stood up and said to Brother Li: "Brother, at this time, it is quiet outside in the dead of night, and they are a group of children, in case something happens along the way, it is not good, it is better not to let your children follow." Besides, you don't know any of these children, and you don't know whose children they are, so if they don't send your son back tomorrow, where will you find them? ”

Hearing me say this, Brother Li also felt very reasonable. At this time, Sister-in-law Li also advised Brother Li not to let the child go with him.

When the children heard me stop me, they glared at me hatefully, their faces full of anger.

However, since I chose to intervene in this matter, I naturally will not be afraid of a few of them. I said to the imps, "Do you really know the way home?" ”

The little ghosts nodded and said, "You know the way, you can let Ming Ming go back with us, and I will bring him back tomorrow." ”

I said, "I won't go with you, but since you know the way, go back by yourself!" ”

Seeing me say this, Sister-in-law Li seemed to feel a little ruthless, so she said: "This is not good, it's so dark, or stay at home, and wait for your parents to pick you up tomorrow." ”

I said, "My sister-in-law is really a kind person, but they know the way, so let them go back by themselves, so that their parents will not be worried if they can't wait for their children." ”

Sister-in-law Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she told them to be careful and gave them a big torch.

When those little ghosts saw that my meddling had ruined their good deeds, they glared at me angrily, and then said, "Be nosy, don't cross the Yellow River next time, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat." Hum! ”

I smiled and said, "If you dare to come to the Li family next time, let you go and never return!" ”

"We'll definitely take Ming Ming back!" The little ghost said hatefully, and then stomped away, and a group of little ghosts turned around and left the Li family and rushed to the edge of the Yellow River......

As soon as the group of little ghosts left, Brother Li smiled hehehe, and then said, "Brother, we are adults, and we can't be angry with children." You say this about them, they go home and talk to their parents, and people who don't know still think that our family is so stingy and don't let them go to our house to play. ”

As soon as I heard this, I also knew that it seemed that this Brother Li had misunderstood me.

And Brother Li's son Mingming was also so angry that he pointed at me and said angrily: "It's all you, you my friends away, you are a bad person!" ”

For children, I won't be angry, after all, Brother Li's family doesn't know the truth.

I smiled, so I said to Brother Li, "Brother, do you really think that I am angry with those children? ”

Brother Li said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that we are adults, and we can't talk about children like that." ”

I said, "Brother, it seems that you have misunderstood me, but in fact I am helping you, because those children are not people at all, but ghosts!" They have to take your child out, this is to ask for your child's life! ”

"What do you say? That...... Those kids are ...... Is it a ghost? Not only was Brother Li startled, but Sister-in-law Li was also frightened.

I nodded and said, "Yes, they're not human, they found out when I entered the door." If you don't believe me, ask around tomorrow to see if there are any children in your place, and if you ask once, you will believe what I say. ”

Hearing me say this, then Brother Li slapped his thigh, as if remembering something, and shouted: "Oh, I'm really stupid, why didn't I think of this stubble, there is a village next to it within a radius of a few miles, but I know all the people in that village, and I have never seen that group of children." If you don't talk about this stubble, I wouldn't have thought of it, but now that I hear you say this, think about it carefully, those children are really tight-eyed, as if they just came out of nowhere in the past two days. ”

At this time, Sister-in-law Li also said: "Yes, those children should not be local, otherwise how could we not know each other." Could it be that they are really ghosts, and they came to our family to ask for their lives? ”

At this time, Sister-in-law Li's face turned white with fright, and her whole body trembled with fear at the moment, and she grabbed my hand and said: "Brother, you can see at a glance that those children are little ghosts, you must be a capable master, please be kind and save my child, I am such a child, if something happens to him, I can't live, woo......"
