When Chen Jie saw Mao'er's nervous look on his face, his heart softened. Looking at the baby's skeleton curled up on the ground, Chen Jie still felt very heavy mentally.
"Maybe this is a method of mountain burial."
Mao'er looked at the mummy of the baby on the stone and felt a little angry in his heart. These people were simply inhumane.
"This is not a mountain burial. This is a baby being squeezed into this small hole as soon as it was born, suffocating the baby to death here, and then covering the body with their flag, so that the sacrifice can be completed.
ceremony."
Chen Jie said calmly, thinking of the inscriptions he had seen on the waterfall before, he finally understood the meaning of those words.
"How could it be so cruel?
Put the newborn baby..." Mao'er looked at Chen Jie with a shocked face, unable to believe what Chen Jie said.
But Mao'er's psychology is also very clear, and Chen Jie has no reason to lie to him.
And now looking at the corpse in front of me, it was indeed curled up into a ball and forced into it. Even the bones in the back were bent.
"Only newborn babies can be stuffed in, and there must be more than one corpse in such a big mountain."
Chen Jie said calmly, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
More of a pity, I didn’t expect this group of people to be so pedantic and still engage in those superstitions, harming so many lives.
"We buried him and we don't want to put him back."
Mao'er also said helplessly, and she also felt very heartbroken.
Although her hands are stained with countless blood, this does not mean that she is a cold and heartless person.
"Okay, I'll dig a hole."
Chen Jie nodded, picked a relatively lush tree, and started digging with knives and sharp stones.
Seeing how diligently Chen Jie was digging, Mao'er also came over and started to help Chen Jie dig together.
The two people buried the baby's body under the big tree, and then Chen Jie got a branch and stuck it on it to serve as a tombstone.
"She has been buried, and we can leave."
Mao'er felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Chen Jie staring at the grave in front of her.
She knew that Chen Jie was feeling very uncomfortable, that's why she was so reluctant to leave.
"Let's go."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he took a deep look at the tombstone, turned around and walked forward, intending to continue searching in the direction of the water flow to see if he could find a way to get here.
After this incident, Chen Jie's expression became a little silent, as if he was distracted and distracted.
"Chen Jie, I'm hungry. Let's take a rest."
Mao'er saw that Chen Jie was not in a high mood and wanted Chen Jie to take a good rest and adjust his thoughts.
"good."
When Chen Jie heard this, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at Mao'er's feet unconsciously, which suddenly made Chen Jie feel refreshed.
It turned out that the cat had been walking in pain, and blood had already flowed out. Even behind the cat, there were drops of blood.
A deep self-blame made Chen Jie feel a little uncomfortable. He was so focused on his anger that he didn't even notice that the wound on Mao'er's foot was open.
Now that he saw Mao'er's feet bleeding, Chen Jie felt as if his heart was bleeding.
"Your wound is open, why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Jie said anxiously, and quickly walked to the cat's side, picked up the cat, and let the cat sit on the big rock nearby.
"These are all minor injuries, nothing serious."
Mao'er felt warm when she saw Chen Jie caring so much about her.
"Is this still a minor injury?
Don’t you want your feet anymore?”
Chen Jie glared at Mao'er, and gently untied the leaves and cloth strips on Mao'er's feet. Seeing the wounds on Mao'er's feet open and blood pouring out, Chen Jie's heart felt as if someone had been cruel.
It was like pinching it hard.
"I didn't feel much pain just now, but now I feel a little pain."
Mao'er didn't dare to hide anything from Chen Jie, so he tentatively spoke.
"You are just a little fool. Why didn't you tell me when you were in so much pain?"
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he quickly walked aside, filled some clean water with leaves, and returned to the cat.
"Are you going to wash my feet?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie with a surprised look on his face, not expecting that Chen Jie would give him such a special service.
"Your feet are full of sand and mud. If you don't wash them clean, you can easily get infected."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he gently poured water on the cat's feet, fearing that it would hurt the cat.
"It's okay. You can be stronger. I'm not afraid of pain."
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's gentle movements and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
In the past, no matter how serious her injury was, she would lick her wounds alone. Even if the injury was serious, no one would ask a question.
Now that she sees Chen Jie doting on her like this, Mao'er is particularly touched and has a deeper understanding of Chen Jie.
"You're talking nonsense again. You are a girl. You should be pampered and pampered. You should also cherish your body in the future."
Chen Jie turned on the thought mode while helping Mao'er treat the wound on his foot.
"Okay, I will remember your words and protect myself."
Mao'er nodded and looked at Chen Jie with gentle eyes.
Maybe Chen Jie is the light in her life, and only Chen Jie can make her cherish her body.
Chen Jie helped the cat re-treat the wound, and got some water for the cat to drink. The two of them ate a few wild fruits and continued on their way.
They wanted to rush back to the ancient tomb as soon as possible, but deep down they were also very worried about the situation there.
Mao'er knew where Chen Jie's heart was, and he didn't hesitate. He endured the pain in his feet and quickened his pace.
Chen Jie wanted to leave here quickly. He was afraid that the wound on the cat's foot would split, so he found two thick branches for the cat to use as a crutch.
The two of them hurriedly drove away all afternoon, when suddenly a heavy rain began to fall in the sky. The rain was so strong that the two of them were soaked in the water in an instant.
"Damn it, why do we always encounter this kind of weather? The more anxious we are, the more trouble we get."
Mao'er said angrily. His feet were already in severe pain, but now they encountered such heavy rain, and it was really difficult to move.
"Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."
After saying that, Chen Jie walked directly to Mao'er and hugged Mao'er horizontally.
Mao'er was unprepared and only felt a lightness in his body. Mao'er subconsciously stretched out his hand and put his arms around Chen Jie's neck. Seeing Chen Jie's solemn expression, Mao'er's heart began to beat faster and faster again.
At this time, Chen Jie didn't care whether there was any danger in the cave. He rushed into the cave with the cat in his arms. Looking at the heavy rain outside, Chen Jie put the cat aside and watched the cat getting wet all over.
With a embarrassed look on his face, Chen Jie was filled with self-blame.
