There was no barking of dogs, no frightened ducks quacking, and no noise or sobbing like children who were too hungry to sleep...

"Luo Xuan! What is that on the ground?"

Ye Wan suddenly staggered and almost dropped the lantern she was holding in her hands.

Ye Wan suddenly fell into Luo Xuan's arms, trembling and pointing at the entrance of the village: "What is that? It's so scary!"

"That's swallowing -->>

.”

Luo Xuan looked along her fingertips.

There is a stone sculpture about one meter high.

In rural areas of Bashu, almost every village in the past had a village totem: Tunkou.

This kind of stone sculpture is carved with a pair of huge, glaring protruding eyes, a ferocious mouth, and two terrifying fangs.

Under the dim light of the horse lantern, coupled with the strong light of the flashlight, it swept across the stone sculpture.

At first glance, the ferocious-looking stone sculptures are indeed scary.

This is not a beautiful woman shouting "Pretty boy, come and play".

Swallowing the mouth as a totem of the town and village,

It needs to prevent all ghosts, ghosts, wandering spirits, and ghosts from entering the village.

Her appearance... is naturally not too beautiful.

"No, it's not. I mean, is there something behind that stone sculpture?"

Ye Wan, who had always been aggressive, was so frightened that her tone of voice changed: "It's still moving!"

Because Ye Wan and Luo Xuan were standing at different angles.

therefore,

Ye Wanbi Luo Xuan first discovered that there seemed to be something vaguely crawling behind the stone sculpture.

Luo Xuan patted Ye Wan on the shoulder and pushed her away from his arms, "Wait here, I'll go over and take a look."

"No, I want to go there with you..."

Ye Wan held Luo Xuan's arm tightly, but did not dare to let go: "How about forget it and stop going to see it. Shall we go?"

She was scared.

Luo Xuan walked forward with a flashlight, but Ye Wan had no choice but to follow closely.

In fact, if you go and check the situation, there is nothing to worry about.

There are bad guys all the time.

But in this period, evil, sexual, and sinful things were really rare.

But if there was no such thing as petty theft, it would definitely be bragging about one of the buffalo's organs.

Give away a pumpkin from someone else, take away a winter melon from your neighbor...

This kind of thing not only exists, but it is very common and very common.

Don't say that ordinary fruits are hard to protect.

A few years ago, in the old society, even the excrement in the cesspools of some rural families was stolen!

There are people holding the excrement spoons.

It may sound weird, but this is indeed what happens in rural areas.

As for other things, such as clothes and bedding hanging to dry outside the house, not to mention...

Moreover, people who steal other people's things are not far away...it is impossible for him to go far away, without any proof of travel.

The physical conditions of the club members alone meant that they would not be able to go very far.

People are iron rice is steel.

After not eating enough for three months, many people don't have the energy to throw javelin.

No one wants to eat grass from the edge of their nest, but their strength doesn’t allow it!

When Luo Xuan approached the stone sculpture and took a closer look, the first thing that caught his eye was a very large wicker basket.

This kind of basket.

It is very common in the north, but there are not many in Bashu Province, because people here prefer to use bamboo baskets.

So, when Luo Xuan saw this wicker basket.

The first thing that comes to mind is the man in this small village who fled here from the old society and finally married a beautiful woman with a slight disability.

It is said that she is a mother-in-law from Beiwan Province.

This woman is very quiet, she doesn't seem to like to talk, and she is so fair that she doesn't look like a farmer.

therefore,

This woman still has some impression on Luo Xuan's mind.

Inside the wicker basket were some felt blankets.

And the handle of this wicker basket is tied with a medium-thick hemp rope.

Looking along the hemp rope, the other end is tied around a baby's waist...

When Luo Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but froze in place!

This little baby is estimated to be about 10 months old?

Maybe, she is already 1 year old?

Anyway, Luo Xuan and Ye Wan were not sure for a while.

At this time, the baby girl was lying on the ground dirty, turning her head to look at the flashlight in her hand.

Because of the cold weather, she was already suffering from runny nose from the cold.

But on this quiet and cold early spring night, this unaccompanied baby was so peaceful, resting on the cold ground with both hands.

No crying, no fuss.

When she saw the light of the flashlight, she turned her head out of curiosity and looked at the light intently.

"Why is she here alone?"

Ye Wan saw that it was a baby, and was no longer afraid at this time, and stepped out from behind Luo Xuan.

She squatted down, gently picked up the baby, and gently wiped the snot and saliva from her face: "Where are the adults in her family? Hey... why doesn't this child cry? Could she be mute?

Bar?"

Luo Xuan raised his head.

Looking faintly at the few houses in the black sauerkraut, looming in the bamboo forest.

The village was silent and lifeless.

"Hold her and go."

Luo Xuan sighed, "It's getting late. The deeper the night is in the mountains, the more wild beasts will come out to look for food."

Ye Wan held the baby in her arms and stood up slowly, "Luo Xuan, why don't you go to the village and have a look? Whose child is lost and they have to die in a hurry?"

She was completely confused by Luo Xuan: just now, she didn't want Luo Xuan to take the risk of coming over to check the situation.

But Luo Xuan insists on coming!

But now, after arriving at the entrance of the village, I saw a child who had been lost by someone else.

Why did Luo Xuan not want to go into the village to see the situation?

Even if you just go in and ask, that’s fine!

Luo Xuan had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Eager to die? There's no need for them to be anxious. I'm warning you again: Don't ask me why I do anything in the future."

As he said that, Luo Xuan pointed at the baby in Ye Wan's arms: "If you ask, I will leave you at the entrance of the village... just like her."

When Ye Wan heard this, he didn't dare to say a word.M..coM

He could only obediently hold the baby in one hand and hold the lantern in the other hand, silently following behind Luo Xuan.

"Thanks...."

From the small bamboo forest not far away, there was such an extremely weak sound...

Luo Xuan's internal strength is not bad, and he has already developed his hearing and eyesight.

This almost inaudible voice was clearly heard by Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan paused slightly and nodded toward the bamboo forest.
