The bad memories came to an abrupt end, and thunder appeared from time to time amidst the constant rain, which was heart-stopping. I thought the little boy was just playing in the yard, but after a quarter of an hour he still hadn't come back. The worried parents couldn't sit still. After staying, they wanted to go out and have a look. But in addition to the heavy rain, there was also strong wind, making it extremely difficult to open the door. Out of rational considerations, Yin Guihong advised them to wait a little longer, at least until the rain lightened up, before going out to look for people. Since I didn't find anyone, I took two more people out.
The couple were extremely anxious, but they knew that what Yin Guihong said was right. They were just pacing back and forth in a hurry, not even bothering to put away the dishes. In the second half of the night, the rain stopped, and the mother was in a hurry to go out, but she stepped on the water. The child's father was calm enough and advised her that now was not the time, so she could only wait until the sun rose, the sky was brighter, and the road was clearer before looking for her. Then the woman burst into tears and complained that her husband would not let her go out. If something happened to the child, She is no longer alive. The old man in the house cannot see her grandson. No matter how deaf she is, she should be able to figure it out. The thunder and lightning in the first half of the night made her afraid to breathe, and she even shut her mouth tightly in fear. They were stunned without saying a word. They finally waited until dawn, and as soon as a glimmer of light appeared in the east, the couple rushed out of the house without saying a word, crowing faster than the cocks in the village.
To put it bluntly, the whole thing has nothing to do with Yin Guihong. However, when the child's mother let the child go out to play, it seemed that she deliberately made him avoid the topic of his uncle. In this way, Yin Guihong could not feel at ease. He clapped his hands and left. Besides, this family was kind enough to take him in and provide him with food and accommodation. It would be too ungrateful for him to turn around and leave. When he stood on a high place and looked out, he found a landslide at the bottom of the mountain, blocking the way down the mountain. If he wanted to clean it up, I'm afraid he would have to work together from the two villages on the mountain and down the mountain, which would take most of the day. The way back was safe, but he couldn't turn back. His goal was to go all the way south.
As a result, he decided to search for the couple's missing child. Although the rain stopped, it was not enough to evaporate in the second half of the night, and the road was still muddy. To be honest, even if the child left any traces, It must have been washed away by the heavy rain. Yin Guihong relied on his dexterity skills to fly over eaves and walls, and settled on the roofs of the villagers. His eyesight and speed were naturally superior to that of the couple, and he made a discovery at noon.
In the mud by the river, he saw a small cloth shoe.
He had an impression of these shoes. When he was picking up the knife on the ground last night, he caught a glimpse of the small blue-gray shoes. The shoes were very old and had a patch on them. His mother had embroidered the patch into a small swallow. , black clothes and white belly. Of course, the white part was already muddy, and only the outline of the swallow could be recognized as a whole. Yin Guihong touched it with his thumb and felt that the stitches were very dense. He was sure that these were the little boy's shoes. , but where are his people?
The heavy rain washed away the bridge downstream of the village. If the water was calm enough, he could really use Qinggong to cross it, but now the water was muddy and fast, and he had no choice. The worst possibility had already appeared in his mind: the child was swept away by the heavy rain. , rushed into the river, fearing that no body remains.
No...wait, he may have thought wrong.
On a rainy day many years ago, wasn't he himself escaping for his life in such a mountain? At that time, the rain started while he was walking on the mountain road, so the same must have happened to this child. After all, it was dark, so he couldn't Go to the dangerous river at the edge of the village. As for the shoes, is it possible that he lost them a long time ago and the shoes were washed here by the rain?
He looked in the opposite direction and kept wondering in his mind.
"Hey, isn't this...that person?"
Someone's voice was heard, and he turned back alertly. Yin Guihong broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help but doubt himself: How could he not notice someone approaching here? It seems that he is too relaxed and not alert enough, or maybe he is too relaxed.
, his mind was disturbed by other things. But he knew the person who spoke. The person stood on a high stone further on the river bank, with his hands behind his back, looking at him as if he were watching a show.
"She Ji?" Yin Guihong frowned, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?"
"Is it possible that this is your family's territory? The control is really broad."
A kid jumped out from behind She Ji. He was about ten years old and older than the lost child. He jumped bravely from the high stone and landed steadily. At this height, even an average adult would be able to
Hesitation, he is really bold. Compared with the lost child, this guy is even more unlikable - from the first sentence he said.
"Are you doing something good?"
Yin Guihong didn't want to talk to him. He knew that the monsters in the Shadow Pavilion were very prejudiced against humans and had been so for hundreds of years. Since there was no Gaoyue Lord here to control him, he naturally had more reason to do whatever he wanted. He wanted to ask him
Telling the truth, let alone helping him, is already giving him face if you don't laugh at him.
"None of your business."
"Then whose child did you steal the shoes in your hand? You're really not ashamed." The brat actually kicked his nose in his face.
Yin Guihong didn't want to get entangled with them and was about to walk back upstream. Unexpectedly, She Ji suddenly said to him:
"If you are looking for a child, when I came here, I detected a faint scent of human cubs on the forest slope upstream. However, I am a little busy and can't take care of trivial matters."
"..."
Although it was probably his own style to refuse to save anyone, now that he was willing to share this information, Yin Guihong's view of him changed slightly. The premise was that this was correct information.
"It's better to be true." Yin Guihong still said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, just a little effort!" She Ji raised his hands, looking eager to help others. Yin Guihong knew that he didn't understand him, but he always felt a little suspicious. Unexpectedly, She Ji revealed his true nature sooner than expected.
face.
"Our research still lacks a lot of material. But now, it is no longer possible to do something blatantly. All forces in the world have noticed the clues, and even many retired masters have returned to the world. We can only investigate everywhere and look for possible solutions.
The target to start with. This place is connected to mountains and connects many villages. Maybe... there will always be some suitable testing site."
Yin Guihong was stunned on the spot, looking at him with a somewhat annoyed look.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried about the safety of your fellow human beings?" She Ji also jumped down from a high place and continued, "But don't worry, my mission ends here. Next, I will go to work on my own
It’s over. I wish you good luck.”
After that, he led the child away from here and headed towards the depths of the land. Before leaving, the kid turned back and made an ugly face at him. How could there be such an impolite child? When we met for the first time,
He was neither big nor small, and not lovable at all. Yin Guihong frowned and decided not to care about him anymore, but to focus on finding another child.
The good news is that She Ji did not lie to him. He came to the woods upstream of the river and soon heard the little boy's faint cry for help. In fact, it was not far from his home, but the drop was very high. His house
On the hillside. I am afraid that it was after the rain. He was in a hurry to go home, but he lost his footing and fell from a height, and fell into this forest.
He found the child. He was covered in mud and dirty, and his face looked like a tabby cat. He sniffed pitifully, and started crying when he saw him. It was said that he was crying, but it was just a pretentious gesture.
, he was too weak to make a loud sound and shed a lot of tears. Yin Guihong helped him check the injuries. The skin was punctured by branches in many places, but they were not deep.
It was these branches that cushioned his fall and prevented his death. He helped the boy up, carried him on his back, and returned to the boy's home step by step. On the way, a few villagers who were helping to find him saw him.
, immediately sent someone to notify his parents. More people went to clear the road down the mountain. If the two parties had not started construction at the same time, the road to Nancun would have been closed for longer.
At dusk, the couple thanked him profusely, and the mother was about to kneel down and kowtow, but he stopped him abruptly. They said that Yin Guihong was the son's reborn parent and wanted his son to recognize him as his adoptive father.
. He declined repeatedly, jokingly saying that he was still young and had never even had a lover. As for the child’s condition, after examination,
After checking, it was found that his right arm was dislocated and his left foot was sprained. He was seriously injured, and he would probably have to lie in bed for several months before he could move around. Is his injury more serious now, or was Yin Guihong's own injury more serious at that time?
?No matter what, the old hunter took care of him for a long time without any complaints, just like his real father.
His father, mother, and other family members also took the trouble to take care of the young man on the sick bed day after day, until his weak body was cured with the powder of clams. But all of this was ignored by Zuo Jinmen, and
The culprit behind it...
He felt a burning sensation in his chest, and his heart, which was once nothing more than ashes, rekindled, burning, and was about to burst out from his throat. Although the hanging hearts of the child's parents sank, his heart could not rest at peace.
The family kindly invited him to stay for a few more days, and he couldn't refuse. Although he said yes, at night, he packed his bags and quietly left the yard. The road leading to the bottom of the mountain in the south was not cleared, but it was better than before.
Much better. Yin Guihong had a way to leave on his own. Before leaving, he left a letter to the parents of his children, to the effect that he suggested that they and the villagers move away from here. If possible, let the surrounding villages
the residence
Min Ye left as soon as possible. He did not explain the specific situation, but said that if he stayed here for a long time, he might be killed. He didn't know what She Ji and Chen Yingge were planning, he only knew the place they were targeting.
, must be more dangerous than bad. He didn't know whether these simple villagers would believe it, and whether they would follow it if they believed it. After all, no one would trust him unconditionally just because he saved a child.
Follow your advice.
There are always good people in the world, and they don't want their good to be eaten away by evil.
