Panic at midnight, please close your eyes when it's dark, I'm a ghostly madman, please get ready to scream, and start our story "Baby Boy" today!

Between the blue sky and white clouds and deep mountains, next to the clear green pool, three girls who are only eleven or twelve years old, wearing coarse linen clothes that can only be seen in costume TV dramas, are washing clothes and playing in the water at the same time.

"Ruo Jin, if you look at it, what is that?" cried one of the girls, Ruoxi, pointing to a bamboo basket that floated towards them along the river not far away.

At this time, the bamboo basket was very close to them, and it was clear that there was a baby wrapped in a yellow cloth lying inside, and the three of them were all orphans who were adopted by the pavilion master, and they had no parents since they were young, so they felt very pitiful when they saw this abandoned baby, so they rolled up their trousers and waded through the river to pull the baby in the bamboo basket to the shore together with the small basket.

"Such an important matter, let's hurry up and report it to the pavilion master," Ruoli said to the other two girls.

The three girls have lived in this deep mountain since they were children, and there is a building that stretches for several meters on the mountainside, called "Qingshui Pavilion", which is only named after the clear water of the river at the bottom of the mountain.

The people who live in the Qingshui Pavilion are all young girls, the eldest is in her early twenties, the younger is only five or six years old, only the pavilion master is the oldest, she looks like an old aunt in her forties and fifties, but it is said that her age is close to 100 years old, and all the people here obey her, so more important matters must be reported to her and let her make decisions.

The people who live in the Qingshui Pavilion are all orphans adopted by the pavilion master, and they have lived in the mountains since they were children, living a self-sufficient life, and no one has ever walked out of this mountain for half a step, so they don't know anything about the outside world, and the only thing they know is that there is a terrible animal called a man outside the mountain, on the surface, their appearance is not much different from the people in the Qingshui Pavilion, but each of them can do witchcraft, and the most powerful thing is that they can communicate with simple language to deceive people's hearts, so don't touch a dangerous animal like a man, if you accidentally see it, you must avoid it, if you can, get rid of the man you see to prevent future troubles!

Because of the fear of men, many people have given up the idea of going out of the mountain, and obediently stayed in the mountain, living in the ancient life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

When he saw the baby picked up by Ruoli and the others, the pavilion master's face showed a motherly expression at first, and he looked very happy, but when he untied the baby's swaddling clothes, his face suddenly changed, and he actually threw the baby to the ground, and Ruoli and the others who were guarding the side didn't know why the pavilion master was suddenly so angry, but they knew in their hearts that the swaddling clothes were a living person!

The pavilion master has taught everyone since he was a child that he must be merciful and not to hurt people's lives casually, so the people in Qingshui Pavilion are all vegetarians, and even the birds and beasts in the mountains and the small fish in the river refuse to catch a single one to eat, let alone a person.

Said that it was too late, Ruoli jumped up, hugged the baby in his arms, and then looked at the pavilion master with a puzzled face, the pavilion master was still very angry, and said to Ruoli: "This is not an ordinary baby, but a baby boy, it will become a man when he grows up, it is very dangerous, we Qingshui Pavilion will never be able to leave this kind of monster, if you leave him, throw him away!"

As soon as he heard that this little baby who looked so cute, he would grow up to become a terrible man, everyone present was frightened, Ruoli hurriedly said yes, and hurried to the clear water pool where he was salvaged with the baby, the small bamboo basket was still on the bank, so Ruoli put the baby back in the bamboo basket, and when Ruoli was about to put the bamboo basket back into the river and let it drift, the baby boy suddenly let out a heart-rending cry.

The cry is hoarse and piercing, so that everyone who hears it, can't help but feel a little sad is unbearable, just when Ruoli wanted to pick up the baby, and thought of what the pavilion master once said, men are good at witchcraft, they will have this sad feeling, maybe this baby is performing witchcraft, thinking of this, Ruoli is ruthless, and pushed the bamboo basket into the river!

With the cry getting smaller and smaller, the small bamboo basket floated towards the center of the river, and suddenly a large whirlpool appeared in the center of the river, the small bamboo basket was swept into the whirlpool, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, after the bamboo basket was swept into the bottom of the water, the whirlpool disappeared immediately, all this happened in a hurry for a few seconds, looking at the calm and clear river, it felt like the scene just now was just his own illusion.

Ruoli returned to the Qingshui Pavilion, and gave a detailed report to the pavilion master on the process of discarding the baby boy, and the pavilion owner was very satisfied with her performance, and reminded everyone again that the strangers you saw near the Qingshui Pavilion must be carefully checked, and you must not let people with bad intentions mix into the Qingshui Pavilion to make trouble.

It looks like it should be over, but there are two things that I don't understand, one is who abandoned the baby in the water in the first place, and the other is what happened to the maelstrom that swept the baby away in the water.

Legend has it that there is a river god living in this river under the Qingshui Pavilion Mountain, it is he who guards the Qingshui Pavilion, so that the Qingshui Pavilion is evergreen all year round, and it has lasted for nearly a hundred years, the place where they live is the palace where the river god used to live in the world, when he became a god, he lived in the palace under the river, and the palace above was left to the people of the Qingshui Pavilion to live, everyone worships this unmasked river god, in addition to the annual festival, the birthday of the river god must be worshiped on time, and the sacrifice will be sacrificed to the river god every year, and there is a young girl among the sacrifices。

The sacrificial process is basically the same, after the girl is dressed up, she is wrapped in a quilt and placed on a mat, because the quilt absorbs water, the girl generally floats to the center of the river, and she will sink to the bottom of the water and drown alive, but everyone mistakenly thinks that the river god took her away.

These ignorant girls even thought it was a great honor to be able to serve the river god as a sacrifice, until one day a girl who was about to be sacrificed accidentally found a picture in Ruoli's hand.

After Ruoli told her the story of Jiang Xingfeng, she decided to go outside the mountain to take a look, she lived by the water, she was very good at water, and the quilt was wrapped by Ruoli and others, so as soon as she got to the bottom of the water, the person broke free from the shackles of the quilt and swam along the bottom of the river to the distance, at the bottom of the river she saw a white bone, and strengthened the idea in her heart, the outside world is very exciting, and men are not monsters.

The woman finally came to the outside of the mountain, and a man got married, and soon had a child of their own, but not long after the child was born, the woman dreamed all day long, saying that the child belonged to the river god, and now the river god wanted the child back, or else he would harm the woman and her husband's family.

In the end, there was no way, the woman had to secretly send her child to this river, and life and death could only depend on his luck......!
