Chapter 3 Shen Jiang
The two brothers glanced at each other, their hearts jumped suddenly, Ye Cheng's eldest brother forced a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Folks, what is this doing? My nephew just loves to cry, how can he be a bad star, besides, what newborn child doesn't cry or make trouble......?
Before he finished speaking, the man in black turned pale, waved his hand, stopped talking, and said: "It's not that I have to be a villain, it's really for the sake of the lives of the townspeople, everyone has already discussed, and there is the eighth uncle and his old man in charge, today you must sink this little evil star who killed his parents into the river, lest he continue to harm the villagers, your two brothers dare to stop it, take everyone's lives for nothing, everyone is welcome!"
Seeing that Ye Cheng's third brother still had to distinguish between them, the man in black showed a trace of impatience on his face, and said sharply to the people behind him: "Come on! Look at the four of them, and search them inside and outside the house for me!"
Several people behind him rushed up and surrounded the four of them in the middle.
The three brothers live next to each other, and their families are poor, how much space can they have? Not long after, someone shouted: "Come, find it, here it is!"
The crowd rushed out of the hut. They all walked in the direction of the sound towards the pigsty.
The child is lying on the belly of the sow, sucking the pig's milk with taste, a little hand does not forget to firmly grasp the other **, the four little piglets have already been familiar with the child in the past two days, lost fear, squeezed around the child, shook his head and tail, hummed and ate happily.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
The sow in the pigsty seemed to sense that something was wrong, and she staggered to her feet, her two yellow eyes flashed with a fierce light of vigilance, and she opened her big mouth and snorted at the crowd!
The man in black glanced at several men beside him, and several of them understood, one of them pulled up the stirring stick placed on the side of the pigsty and drove away the sow, and the other two jumped into the pigsty and took out the child
The third aunt was being held by a group of men, unable to move, seeing the little boy being taken away from the angry sow, crying and shouting: "Please, all of you, the baby has never been full since he was born, let him eat before leaving!"
Everyone seemed to be hard-hearted, and no one paid any attention to her shouts, but pointed and talked sarcastically.
"Look, isn't this a demon?
"Hmph, I don't know when the Ye family did something immoral in their life and gave birth to such a goblin!"
"I said, it's too cheap to sink this evil star that killed his parents into the river, he should be burned to death on a fire!"
"The Ye family really doesn't know what to do, we are saving them, and they still don't appreciate it, really!"
The crowd said everything, but the little boy who was held in his arms was not aware of any danger at all. The black eyes looked east and west, not afraid of life at all, and when they heard the roar of the pig, they became a mess, and they even opened their small mouths and giggled.
The stout man holding the child saw the child's bright smile and heard the pleasant laughter, but as if he had been bitten by a snake and scorpion, he was shocked, and as soon as his hand was released, the child fell heavily to the ground. This man has lived for dozens of years, and he has never seen a baby who has just been born for more than a month laugh so loudly.
At this moment, this bright smile like a flower made countless people's hearts tremble. The crowd was silent at first, followed by a buzzing chatter.
"Wow!" The boy let out a loud cry that shook the eardrums of everyone present.
The man in black parted from everyone, picked up the boy on the ground, and strode forward. After a brief commotion in the crowd, everyone finally followed the man in black and walked towards the river.
The third aunt, who was let go, was about to chase after her, but a long sigh came from behind, and a big hand grabbed her arm and turned around. The third aunt turned her head and saw the mist gushing out of her husband's eyes, threw herself into her husband's arms, and cried bitterly! With the weakness of the four of them, how could they regret the will of the whole town?
Although this little boy loves to cry and is disgusting, he is his own nephew after all. Thinking of the suffering of the second sister-in-law for 17 years, burning incense and worshiping God, seeking medical advice, and going through all the hardships, she finally gave birth to a son, but she lost her life before she could enjoy the joy brought by her son. Thinking that this little boy had finally come to the world, and he didn't even have a name, he was about to be sunk into the river, and the third aunt cried even more sadly.
Huge crowds of people walked through the streets towards the riverside at the southern end of the town.
The child's heart-rending cries echoed through the streets.
Perhaps because of a ghost in his heart, or perhaps because of disgust and fear, seven men hugged the child, but none of them dared to look at his face. Of course, no one could find that in the middle of the child's forehead, a cyan earthworm-like imprint that was originally faint disappeared at this time.
Wrapped in the swaddling child, under the delicate skin, there is a little finger-thick black light and shadow walking around, if someone looks closely, they will find that the shape of the black light and shadow is like a small dragon, with claws and scales, lifelike, and the dragon's mouth is still spewing out wisps of black mist.
The faint black mist slowly emerged from the child's swaddling clothes, and then rushed along the arm into the bodies of several men who had hugged the child one after another.
At the same time, in the deep mountains and dense forests two or three hundred miles away from the town, a two-foot-long spotted white-fronted tiger, a black python as thick as a bucket, and three green wolves with a body far larger than ordinary wolves rushed out of the cave one after another, sniffing restlessly, roaring anxiously, and Zuihou invariably ran in the direction of Wan'an Town.
Villagers walked out of the streets one by one, following behind the man in black, gathering more and more. When they arrived at the riverside, three or four thousand people gathered. Men and women, young and old, listened to the children's heart-rending cries one by one, unmoved, and many people's eyes even flashed with excitement, as if they thought that killing a naïve child who was waiting to be fed would bring real peace to the whole town!
Seeing the turbid river water rolling up the little boy and swimming away, everyone was relieved at the same time, wrapped in the child's swaddling clothes in the river for only a moment, and was swept into the water by a whirlpool, and the child's figure disappeared in an instant.
A cold cool breeze suddenly blew on the river, and many people couldn't help but shiver.
Half an hour passed, and seeing that the figure of the little boy did not float out of the water, many people silently turned around and walked towards the town. Others are talking excitedly!
In the river water, black light slowly rushed out of the child's body, quickly forming an egg-like oval pitch-black light mask around his body, enveloping the child in the middle, and not even a drop of river water could penetrate into the light mask.
Half a day later, a large group of foot-long herring was surrounded by the oval light mask. One by one, the herring flicked its tail and swam closely with the shield xiangxia, as if it was a child in the arch guard.
Inside the mask, the child's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was motionless, like a dead man.
Seeing that the sun had set in the west, a willow-leafed boat rowed across the river. The middle-aged fisherman who operates the boat, with broad shoulders and broad body, dark skin, and a perennial river breeze blowing on his face, the wrinkles on his face are as clear as an axe and a chisel.
The fisherman slowly put away the fishing net, and when he was about to lift it, a trace of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the fishing net was getting heavier and heavier, and his arms suddenly increased liliang.
The water splashed everywhere, and a live herring with a tail length jumped in the gradually tightening fishing net, intending to break away from the fishing net, but where could it be entered. The fisherman roared and threw the net dragged out of the water into the front compartment of the fishing boat with all his strength. The setting sun reflected the fish scales, shining with silver light, mixed with a faint black light, and disappeared in a flash.
The fisherman was so happy that he could not untie the net, and the penny was light, and the boat rowed quickly to the shore, and was in a good mood, and began to hum a brisk little song in his mouth.
On another flat boat not far from here, a loud man's voice sounded: "Brother Li, you have hummed a little song, it seems that today's harvest is not small!" On this flat boat, there are two men, one is thin and small, and he is dressed as a fisherman. The other, eight feet tall, with a burly physique, wearing a leopard skin on his shoulders, holding a jet-black double-thorned hunting fork in his left hand, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
It was the skinny fisherman who accosted him, but his voice was so loud that it was not proportional to his figure.
The fisherman surnamed Li smiled, glanced at the fish jumping in the cabin, and said: "There are not many, I will live my life, how can I catch big fish every day like my brother!"
As he spoke, the two ships were getting closer and closer.
The thin fisherman glanced at the large pile of herring in the fisherman's cabin surnamed Li, revealing envy, but at this moment, he saw a dark red cloth under the fish pile, "Huh", and said, "Brother Li, there seems to be something else in this net!"
The fisherman surnamed Li fiddled with the fish pile with the penny in his hand, his face changed suddenly, and he spat at the river fiercely, saying, "It's really unlucky!" The mood was extremely bad all of a sudden.
The thin fisherman and the big man dressed as a hunter saw the wet jujube swaddling clothes piled under the school of fish, and the swaddled child with his eyes closed.
According to local custom, if a fisherman accidentally catches a dead body in the river, he must take it to the shore and bury it. If you dare to throw the dead body into the river again to feed the fish, you will inevitably be retaliated by the "water ghost" in the future and die in the river.
Even if the dead body was a baby.
The fisherman surnamed Li was pale, and he was not in the mood to talk to the two of them, so he rowed the boat and quickly leaned towards the shore.
After the two fishermen tied the boats to the old willow trees on the shore, the fisherman surnamed Li lifted the fishing net and threw it to the shore. Seeing that this net was nearly 100 catties of haode herring, and he couldn't bring it home because of this dead baby, the fisherman surnamed Li cursed secretly in his heart.
