Winter is approaching, and all kinds of natural sounds in the imperial capital have quieted down at night.

The proprietress of the dumpling stall held a small box of semi-flat dumplings made of dough in both hands, and said to her cub who had just reached school age with a friendly face.

"My mother is going to send a dumpling to the aunt in Yihong Courtyard, can you stay here obediently and help your mother look after the store?"

Seeing her cub nodding obediently, the proprietress touched the child's head with her hand, and continued to walk forward with a smile on her face holding the hot dumplings.

The boy looked at the back of his mother's departing and lowered his head lonely.

Pat his fleshy face with chubby hands and shake his head vigorously, no, I want to cheer up!

The cute boy held his fleshy face with both hands, and the whole person squatted on the ground, tilting his head and thinking.

I'm grown up, I can, I can't cry like I used to!

So while looking at the store, he ate the nightly snack that his mother left for him - six hot dumplings.

After eating the pork dumplings loaded with the love of his mother, the boy looked at the dark road with his eyes.

Why hasn't my mother come back?

I'm bored, I cover my mouth with my hand, and I yawn.

When you are tired, you continue to squat on the ground.

Bored, he picked up the small stone at his foot with his right hand and carved on the ground the strange pattern that his mother had taught him today.

While the little one didn't notice, a shadow appeared on the pattern he had drawn.

The little guy naturally thought it was his mother who had returned, and raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked, "Ahhh......h

What is it?

The boy was so frightened that he covered his mouth with his left hand, and the man in front of him was not like a human "uncle" with scars on his face, blood still in his mouth, and his body in tatters.

Seeing that the "uncle" in front of him wanted to stretch out his hand to him, the boy was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

But because the "uncle" moves slowly, the male doll has enough reaction time, and subconsciously picks up the small stone in his right hand and throws it at the "uncle" in front of him.

The little guy quickly stood up, covered his head and ran forward, shouting "help......" as he ran

The little one kept running, running and running and crashing into his mother's arms.

The proprietress picked up her cub and said, "What's the matter, little crying bag!" ”

The boy heard the gentle voice of his mother and cried even louder.

In a choked voice, he said, "Mother, there's a strange person in the stall!" ”

The proprietress was surprised at first、At this time, there are still people to buy dumplings!

But then he smiled and said, "No matter how strange he is, he wants to buy dumplings, let's sell them to him too." ”

The proprietress took out the small handkerchief around her waist and wiped her tears for the male doll, "Don't cry, but today's dumplings are sold out, so we can only invite him back." ”

The boy nodded, but his intuition told him that the "uncle" was definitely not simple.

didn't want his mother to go back when there was no one around, so he was nervous and restless, so he could only keep crying and making a fuss.

When the proprietress saw her son crying so loudly, she thought that he was frightened, and she was afraid that his crying would disturb the people around her, so she took him home.

I thought, anyway, the dumplings are sold out, and the stall is there, so I can pick them up tomorrow.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the proprietress took the boy to the city to prepare to close the stall.

A large number of people were found around their stalls.

The proprietress took a closer look and found a male corpse on the ground.

It's so scary, it's just unsightly. The proprietress subconsciously covered her male doll's eyes with her hands.

The male doll is also very sensible, he covers it with his hands and doesn't look at it, he knows that he shouldn't look at it at this time.

On closer inspection, all the man's internal organs were taken away.

His eyes were full of fear and panic, and the proprietress subconsciously looked at her cub.

Her intuition told her that the man had also met the "uncle" that his cub said.

Seeing that his fingernails were all covered with rotten flesh, that "uncle" should not be a normal person.

The proprietress folded her hands, held her head high, bowed to God, and said, "Thank you God for blessing!" ”

After speaking, he lowered his head, kissed the face of the male doll, and pulled the male doll away from the scene.

I kept thinking in my heart, fortunately my baby didn't go back, otherwise it would be the two mothers and sons who would die!

In this way, who is the "strange uncle" in the son's mouth?

After soliciting their son's opinion, the two went to the yamen of the imperial capital to report the case.

The proprietress found that the entrance of the yamen was full of people, almost all of them went for the bounty, and everyone was talking nonsense.

Seeing that her cubs were anxious, the proprietress decided to muster up the courage to be a good example in front of her children!

Everyone said that Prime Minister Yan Cheng of the imperial capital was a shrewd person who knew right from wrong and distinguished black and white.

The proprietress decided to fight for luck, so she took the child to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Yan Xi.

When they arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and told the doorman the reason, one of the doormen asked the two to wait for a while.

It was the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion who came out, and the housekeeper smiled and said that he would take the two of them into the mansion for two days, and wait for the Prime Minister and the princess to come back before making a decision.

The proprietress thought that this outrageous case would not end, and the safety of herself and her children could not be guaranteed, so she agreed to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
