Suddenly, he heard the baby's crying, which frightened the old man Jiang, and hurriedly checked the grandson in his arms, but no, the cry came from a distance.

Maybe someone else, similar to him before, was on his way with his children?

But looking at the white expanse in the distance, no one saw it, and the old man Jiang thought again, could it be a similar situation to the frozen mother and son, but the child was not dead yet?

Thinking of this, Old Man Jiang instinctively followed the sound to find it.

I didn't look far, and I came to an icy lake, and on the frozen lake, there were two babies with red fruits!

"Huh?"

Old man Jiang walked over tremblingly, and saw two babies white and tender, but only a few feet long, as if they had just been born.

Exactly one baby boy and one baby girl. The baby boy closed his eyes, slurped, and didn't even cry!

The baby girl was more normal, her eyes could not be opened, and she cried desperately, and she was attracted by the girl's cry.

"Oops......" Old man Jiang hurried up, looking left and right at the same time, and there was no one else.

So where did these two babies come from? Who gave birth to two children and abandoned them in the ice and snow in this harsh winter?

He didn't care so much at first, and immediately picked up the two children and took them into his arms.

But then, he fell to the ground hard!

There was no strength, and the old man Jiang was holding on to his breath and wanted to take his grandson's corpse home. Moving forward like a walking corpse like that, you may still be able to hold on, but now after a toss, holding three children, you really can't hold it.

He just lay on the icy lake, panting, not knowing what to do.

It's so pitiful, how long has it been since I was born? Before I could open my eyes to see the world, I was going to die in the ice and snow.

However, this world may be like this. It's not the first time that Old Man Jiang has seen an abandoned baby, but he's seen it before...... It's all bones.

In Chashan Village, where he lives, there are one or two babies dying almost every year, some of them are really young, they are born weak or unable to survive and starve to death, but some are ...... It is abandoned.

On the edge of Chashan Village, there is a baby tower with a height of several feet, which is actually a tower-shaped pile made of stones, specially used to abandon babies.

Some poor families are more ruthless, and directly drown babies who are born sick or unable to support them, and many of them never even open their eyes.

Old man Jiang once saw a floating abandoned baby in the river in the village, and when he encountered it, he could only helplessly shout, 'Whose child?' Collect the baby's body! ’

And some parents who really can't do anything about it, will send their baby girls or sick babies to the tower, and leave them to fend for themselves, which will make those parents feel better, because they will fantasize that there are good people who will bring abandoned babies home and raise them well, but this is only self-deception.

Old man Jiang once went to see the inside of the baby tower, but after seeing it once, he didn't dare to go again.

It was a scene that he will never forget, and he realized that all babies are eaten alive by mosquitoes, rats and ants. Nothing can be done but crying.

"Don't cry, Ah Weng is with you......" Old Man Jiang muttered.

When people are about to die, they will always fall into memory.

Perhaps, this is fate...... At the end of his life, he picked up two children, and although they were going to freeze to death soon, he could at least give them some warmth.

"Whoa, whoa......" The baby girl cried desperately, she clung to the slave's corpse, and the cold turned purple.

Seeing this, Old Man Jiang gritted his teeth, pushed out the corpse of his own grandson into his chest, and held the two little babies more tightly to his heart.

He told himself that the living were more important than the dead.

In this way, he fell into a drowsy state again, but then he felt a warm current.

"Cold ...... No, it's warm ...... It's so warm......" Old man Jiang opened his eyes and was still lying on his side on the ice lake.

The side that was sticking to the ice was frozen, but the chest was warm!

What's going on?

When I looked down, the baby girl had stopped crying, and the baby boy had always slept soundly, and even had a halazi.

Saliva? Old man Jiang was stunned, in such a cold weather, he was almost frozen, and his tears became ice picks, how did this kid drool and not freeze?

"Is it so warm in my arms? No...... It's this kid who is warm! ”

Old man Jiang hadn't experienced such a warm embrace for a long time, and the baby boy was hot! It was this warmth that made him endure this old decay again.

"Is this sick?"

In his opinion, this is a return to the light of the extreme cold, and he is about to freeze to death.

But what could he do?

Old man Jiang tried his best to move his body, and gradually moved his stiff body with the help of the warm current in his chest.

Just as he was about to get up, a cry came from afar: "Behold, there are living people! ”

Hearing this voice, Old Man Jiang was overjoyed, could it be that these two children could survive?

No wonder he thinks so, because in this catastrophic year, homeless people like him can't shout such a neutral voice, and they don't even care if someone is lying there in the distance.

"Is it an official errand? Did the imperial court give money? Great......"

Old man Jiang smiled knowingly, slowly sat up, and looked back.

However, this glance frightened him.

It's not that the people who come are hateful, on the contrary, they are all disaster victims and displaced people like him.

However, this is precisely the most terrifying, because this group is running, and there is only one possibility with a rosy face...... They cannibalism.

"It turned out to be a shriveled old man." There were three people in the group, and they were very disappointed when they saw it.

The three of them are not strong, and their appearance is even a little simple, but the words they say are very ruthless: "This old man is old and dry, and he doesn't have much meat. ”

Hearing this, Old Man Jiang knew that these three people would not eat themselves.

If you really want to talk about it, people...... Have. But the dead must be frozen into a lump of ice, as hard as iron! And under this snow disaster, it is difficult to get dry firewood, and it is even more difficult to melt away frozen people, basically ...... It's eaten raw.

So, this group of people wants to find living people, and preferably children.

"Huh? There's a kid here......"

Hearing this, Old Man Jiang tightened his arms tightly, and looked like he was shrinking there, keeping himself warm.

"Alas, it's frozen into a lump of ice." It turned out that what this group of people saw was the corpse of their grandson who was pushed out of the arms of Old Man Jiang.

"Let's go." The leader waved his hand, and the three turned to leave.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to the old man, as if he was just picking meat and buying vegetables.

I'm afraid they didn't expect that when there was already a frozen child lying next to the old man, there would be two soft babies in their arms.

"Whew......" Old man Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could be happy, the baby girl in his arms cried again, such a baby is easy to wake up with a few random movements.

"Huh?" Hearing the voice, the three homeless people turned around together, looking overjoyed.

Old man Jiang struggled to get up, turned his head and ran, but fell down after not running a few steps.

The legs and feet are paralyzed, and the glacial lake is not as deep as the snowy roads, which are too slippery.

"Old man, it turns out that you still have a ...... hidden"

"Oops, it's two!"

They caught up and broke the old man's hand open, revealing two babies, a man and a woman, and they were ecstatic.

These two little babies look too tender, white and smooth, very different from the children brought by other homeless people, and they can be seen at a glance.

"Stop!"

"Brute! Stop it! ”

Old man Jiang was angry, but how could he, a shriveled old man who was dying, be able to defeat three young men who had eaten too much?

With ease, he was pinned to the ground and took away a pair of babies.

The baby girl was crying, trembling, and being held upside down by her ankle. The baby boy still didn't cry, and his head was clamped by a big palm!

Looking at this hand, he doesn't care about strangling the child to death.

Old man Jiang's eyes were scarlet, his eyes were about to split, and he blurted out: "Let go of my grandson, that's my grandson, you can't eat him!" ”

However, the three young men didn't pay attention to it at all, carrying the two babies as if they were carrying two pieces of meat, and walked away quickly.

Old man Jiang got up again, stiff hands and feet, limping behind.

People don't care, it's not the first time they've acted, and they don't take this kind of half-dead 'dry corpse' in their eyes at all.

The three of them walked about a mile to a ruin, about a small village that had been crushed by heavy snow.

And in the ruins, there was a bonfire with an iron pot on top of it, and water was boiling in it.

"Huh? Man, did you really raise the fire? ”

"The wind has stopped, the snow has stopped, I can't get fire, don't live."

"Great, you can eat it!"

It turned out that there were four people, three of whom went out to look for food, and one person was left behind to make a fire.

"Why is it so small?" The man looked back at the two pink babies and couldn't help but lose his mind.

Especially the crying baby girl, he cried so much that he wanted to speak.

"This girl is noisy, go to the pot first!" One person is about to throw the baby girl into the pot.

The guy instinctively shouted, "Wait a minute! ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The man took the baby girl, came over to her, held her in his arms, and said, "The water is not boiling yet." ”

"So what's the matter?" The three of them felt inexplicable, and they had eaten the first few raw meals!

The man said toughly: "The fire is mine, how to cook it, I have the final say!" ”

Everyone doesn't care, it's just that the guy is addicted to cooking.

After a while, the water gurgled and rolled away.

However, the man touched the baby girl's frozen and stiff face, as if he didn't see it, and the three of them looked at each other, and they wanted to take the baby boy into the pot first.

"This baby boy is hot and doesn't cry, is he sick?"

"Which of the meat we eat is not sick? What are you afraid of! ”

"Yes!"

As he was talking, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "Stop, let go of my grandson, I'll give you food!" ”

Old man Jiang finally limped over, and seeing that the two children had not yet gotten out of the pot, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled and pleaded: "Eat me, eat me!" ”

The man glanced at Old Man Jiang and sighed slightly.

The homeless man holding the baby boy shook his head: "You might as well dig a corpse and eat it." ”

"You have a fire and a pot, so you don't want to kill my grandson...... I'm going to find you, I know where the baby's body is! Old man Jiang pleaded as he approached with a knife in his arms.

The guy made a stubble: "It's also ...... to say"

Hearing this, Old Man Jiang curled up his hand in his arms, froze slightly, and let go of the firewood knife.

However, after this hesitation, a plop was heard, and the baby boy was thrown into the pot.

The baby boy, who slept soundly, struggled suddenly, twisted and convulsed in the boiling water, and then stopped moving.

Just this scene, Jiang Lao's mind buzzed, and it was blank.

The homeless man smiled dryly: "This baby has not been weaned, and he can't live this year, so it's better for me to give him a good time." ”

When the other two brothers heard this, they felt that he had some sense, and that two children who had just been born and seemed to have not eaten a mouthful of milk had not yet eaten a mouthful of milk, how could they survive?

Rather than die of hunger and cold, let them have a good meal.

"Old man, this is your grandson, right? His flesh has saved our lives, so I will give you a portion......"

The homeless man was still talking, but he saw a flash of the sword.

Poof!

His head rolled to the ground, blood staining the snow red.

"Ahh

"He's got a knife!"

The remaining three were terrified and retreated!

The guy's eyes widened, he didn't expect this shriveled and half-dead old man to be so fierce!

The knife just now was so fast that by the time they reacted, the person was already dead.

They never looked down on the old man, and they didn't expect him to hide a firewood knife. Just such a broken firewood knife actually cut off a person's head in an instant, which means that the strength, speed and even angle have reached a certain level, is this old man an executioner?

There was no hesitation in the sword, and there was even a killing aura, it was a veteran! The kind that has killed people on the battlefield!

Yes, it has only been long since the troubled times ended, and it is strange that this large number of civilians of this age have not been soldiers.

"Grandson......" Old man Jiang stepped in front of the pot in a few steps, whimpered, and reached out to fish.

When his right hand trembled, the knife fell to the ground. It turned out that the knife just now was already the limit, but an explosion under anger, and he was old after all.

Coupled with the weakness of the body, the right wrist is sprained at the moment, and the joint can be seen to be abnormally protruding, so he can't hold the knife at all.

"He's got a broken hand, stop him!"

"I've got a knife!"

The man didn't move, and the other two chose to pounce on him, holding down the dangerous old man, and they were about to slaughter him.

The old man's left hand was scalded by boiling water, and he couldn't lift his right hand, so he was pressed to the ground by two big men and cried loudly.

He has already regarded the baby he picked up as his grandson, but once again, he has lost his relatives.

watched his grandson be thrown into the boiling pot alive, and taught him to break his liver and intestines!

"Oh my God...... Oh my God! Old man Jiang didn't know why he was still alive, and his roar was endless.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, a pair of pink meat hands stretched out from the pot and grabbed the edges.

The next moment, the fleshy head popped up, steaming and dripping boiling water......

A pair of big round and rumbling eyes, looking around.

The eyes of the four of them all gathered at once, and their eyes were extremely shocked.

"Demon ...... Youkai! ”

……
