Outside Anding County, Wang Sheng and his nephew were busy at a breakfast stall.

The world is not peaceful now. The demons are in chaos during the day, and evil spirits are rampant at night. In addition, the instability of the court makes the lives of the people even more difficult.

In addition to those big merchants, ordinary people have to get up early and work late if they want to eat and wear warmth, so they often have no time to have breakfast.

The stall that Wang Sheng set up outside the city is to make some hard money from these people.

There are many people in the city, but the rent is too expensive, and most of the money earned is spent on the landlord's pocket. Although it is harder outside the city, every penny is your own, and it is worth it to be hard and tired.

Speaking of Wang Sheng, he is considered a famous good person in Anding County.

When my elder brother was alive, he would do everything he could to eat, drink, beg for a gamble. He would either beat or scold his younger brother, which was even worse than his servants.

After losing all the property, he took advantage of the alcohol to jump into the river, leaving only a young son.

Faced with such a big brother who is inferior to a beast, even if Wang Sheng doesn't care about his nephew, no one will gossip about him.

However, Wang Sheng did not do this. After his elder brother died, he treated his nephew as his own son. He worked hard every day, but he barely supported a poor family.

The wind is very strong today, and the morning mist will be blown away early.

Wang Sheng wrapped his clothes tightly, and quickly cut the noodles while looking at the stove.

It is really a rare enjoyment to be able to eat a bowl of steaming noodles and a small handful of tender chopped green onions on this cold morning, and Wang Sheng also earned some savings for himself and his nephew at a affordable price.

"uncle!"

The crisp call made Wang Sheng raise his head from the chopping board, and his nephew who went to the market to buy onions was back.

But unlike usual, my nephew did not have onions in his hands, and there was a woman who was holding a cradle in her arms around her.

The wind in the early morning was cold and the woman was wearing only a single dress, which fully revealed her graceful figure under the strong wind.

His beautiful face and pitiful face easily aroused Wang Sheng's pity, not to mention that he was a complete beauty.

"Uncle, I met this sister on the road. I took her back when I saw that she was homeless."

Although my nephew is not old, the children of poor families are very sensible, so it is obvious that bringing such a woman back has other meanings.

"Miss, please sit in there, just wait for a while for the steaming noodle soup."

Wang Sheng quickly filled a bowl of noodles and sprinkled with some chopped green onion and coriander.

"Thank you, brother!"

The woman was obviously very hungry. After saying thankfully, she ate the noodles, soup and water, and ate them clean.

"I don't know who the lady's surname is, and who is the person?"

It was still early at this time, and no one was showing up when they left the city to work. Wang Sheng sat down and started chatting with the woman.

The woman is the personal maid of a wealthy lady, named Xiaolan.

When my lady went to a temple fair, she accidentally became a down-and-out scholar, and then she got entangled and eventually did something transcendent.

People in this era value portals very much. How could a wealthy family look at a down-and-out scholar? They broke them apart.

However, at this time the lady had already had a secret baby, so she could only secretly give birth to the child and ordered the maid to go out to find a good family.

Unfortunately, things in the world are unpredictable. Not long after Xiaolan came out, she was robbed and lost all her money. Several guards were killed.

Xiaolan escaped by chance with her child in her arms, but was met by Wang Sheng's nephew after several twists and turns.

"Poor child!"

After listening to Xiaolan's narration, Wang Sheng turned his head and looked at his nephew next to him, and couldn't help but sigh.

The fate of this child is so similar to his nephew. If there is no help from anyone, I may not last for a few days.

"If you don't dislike it, you can stay here, but you can only add a pair of dishes."

"Thank you for your righteousness!"

As a former maid, Xiaolan had very quick hands and feet. After feeding the baby in her cradle a little rice soup, she began to help clean up.

With Xiaolan's help, Wang Sheng's stall became clean and tidy, and his work was easier. He didn't feel much tired until he closed the stall at noon.

The white curtain suddenly fades away, and the night is coming.

Wang Sheng snored so loudly that he slept. His nephew got up in the middle of the night and went to pee in the yard.

It was late at night and everyone was silent, and there was no other movement except the howling of the night wind.

Just as he passed by Xiaolan's room, his nephew suddenly heard a slight "click" sound, accompanied by a chewing-like "baji".

...

"Uncle, I heard some strange movements when I got up last night when I peed."

The nephew rubbed his sleepy eyes and said to Wang Sheng next to him.

"What a strange sound? Are there rats gnawing on things? Get up and work quickly."

"Our family is so poor. Why are the rats coming out? Will you give us rice?"

The nephew muttered and put the matter aside for the time being.

After one night, the woman named Xiaolan became much more familiar with her. She not only helped to make the bed, but even took the clothes to wash.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng was grateful on his face, but he had a different thought in his heart.

"Hey, sister, where is your child!"

The nephew asked, leaning his head into the room.

"He fell asleep!"

Xiaolan said, her face full of smiles.

"I'll go see him!"

After the words came to the ground, the nephew got up and walked towards the room, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked by Xiaolan.

"You go and do your business, I'll just come and see you!"

Xiaolan touched his head with her wet hands.

I don’t know what’s going on, but my nephew always feels that Xiaolan’s smile is a little wrong, it feels very fake, as if something is hidden.

The diligent Xiaolan quickly won Wang Sheng's trust, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up. Under her initiative, Wang Sheng began to touch her, and after getting the other party's tacit approval, he became more and more eager.

The next night came soon. Looking at Xiaolan who was busy washing dishes, a smile appeared on Wang Sheng's face, and then he pulled his nephew into the corner and said, "You go to bed by yourself tonight. Uncle has something to do."

"Oh, I understand!"

The nephew nodded, knowing that his uncle was going to do something strange with Xiaolan.

At night, my nephew who was sleeping alone for the first time to toss and turns in the bed and couldn't sleep.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the strange sound he heard last night.

"Didn't that little baby be at home all day long? Didn't he cry?"

With this idea in mind, the nephew got up and went to Xiaolan's room where she lived last night, quietly opened the door and walked in.

The room was so dark that it was impossible to see anything. The little nephew touched the table and lit the oil lamp and looked at the bed in the faint light.

Apart from a few beds that are not thick, there is only one swaddle on the bed.

"Although my life is not good, the little guy is quite obedient, he doesn't cry or make a fuss."

The nephew muttered and tiptoed over to take a look.

However, when he lifted the covered silk and saw the scene inside, his little nephew felt like he was struck by lightning.

Where are there any babies? They are clearly a bunch of white bones!

At this time, my nephew finally understood what the strange sound was last night!

He forced himself to resist the fear in his heart and walked out of the room. His nephew came outside Wang Sheng's door. The sound of "cracking" and "bajibaji" appeared again, and it was much louder than last night.
