Liu Xuzhu pondered Xi Cheng's words in his heart for a long time, and then picked up a stick of incense placed next to him and lit it, inserted it on the incense burner and bowed three times to the stack of clothes.
"Big brother, why are you" Xi Cheng looked at him puzzled.
"These people are so weak-hearted, it proves even more that the people enshrined in this temple died unjustly, and I worship her, and I should mourn the deceased."
Hearing him say this, Xi Cheng also offered three sticks of incense, bowed respectfully a few times, and his eyes fell on the stack of white clothes, gradually covering a layer of wetness.
"Xi Cheng, let's go, I always feel that this place is gloomy and terrifying."
Er Niuzi has endured it for a long time, and now, he no longer wants to hide his fears, so he pulled the corner of Xi Cheng's clothes and said.
"Let's go."
Liu Xuzhu touched the head of Er Niuzi and walked out of the small temple with the two.
A few people walked slowly through the forest, no one spoke, everyone was thinking about the temple, thinking about the neat stack of white clothes, although after so many years, it is still very well preserved, thinking that someone often takes care of it, so that this silk cloth clothes are not moth-eaten by insects, and they are not rotted by moisture.
Thinking of this, Xi Cheng's footsteps stopped, and he twisted his stiff neck, "Er Niuzi, do you remember when you were a child, you came to my house to play with me, we chased and fought in the yard, but accidentally broke my grandfather's clothes pole and knocked all the clothes on it to the ground?"
” Er Niuzi thought for a while, "Remember, your grandfather got so angry that day and reprimanded the two of us severely, and didn't even leave me at your house for dinner." ” "And among the clothes he dried, was there a white robe made of satin?"
Er Niuzi's mouth was half-open, and he didn't close it for a long time, "I can't remember."
It was a long time before he told the truth.
"Did you remember something?"
Liu Xuzhu walked up to Xi Cheng and stared at his face with a serious expression.
"I don't know if those memories are real, or if it's just a dream of mine, because they're too old to be vaguely distinguished, but by the way, I remember that day, there was another person behind the white robe."
"Alone?"
Liu Xuzhu and Er Niuzi asked at the same time, "What kind of person is he?"
” Xi Cheng just wanted to answer, but the branches not far away "creaked", as if someone was passing through the forest, Er Niuzi trembled in fright, hiding behind Liu Xujiao, several people listened with bated breath, but the voice gradually drifted away, towards the direction of the Jade River.
Er Niuzi breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face softened slightly, but at this moment, he was startled by a sound like a cat's meow, and his eyebrows and eyes were re-solidified, and even his body stiffened, standing motionless.
Liu Xujiao pricked up his ears to catch the source of the sound, his eyes looking around in the forest, like a keen eagle.
"Wow" was another sound, and Er Niuzi almost pulled his legs to escape, but was held down by Liu Xujiao, "You two, stay here and don't move, I'll come when I go."
He told the two children with his mouth.
Xi Cheng took Er Niuzi's hand and nodded deeply at Liu Xujiao, his expression was calm, and he was a reassuring presence in the panic.
Liu Xuzhu was also infected by this calmness, he smiled at Xi Cheng, clenched the green worm sword and walked towards the source of the sound.
Xi Cheng watched his back disappear into the forest little by little, and held Er Niuzi's hand tighter, "Don't be afraid, my eldest brother is very powerful, and any cow ghost and snake god is not a problem for him."
He comforted Er Niuzi's heart and transmitted his power to him through the palm of his hand.
"Xi Cheng, who is the person you just said was hiding behind his clothes?"
Er Niuzi's voice trembled, but he still couldn't help his curiosity.
Xi Cheng looked at his frightened face, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but finally held back, he sighed, "You really don't remember?"
Was that scene really just my dream?
That day, the two of us chased around the yard, you were still shouting in front of me to let me catch you, and then I flashed into the pile of grandfather's clothes, where am I willing to let you go, just lift the clothes one by one to find you, when I touched the white clothes, I was stunned for a moment, because I never remember that there were such soft and smooth clothes at home, it was like made of water, grabbed in the palm of my hand and slid away, I was unwilling, and reached out to grab it, but the hand passed through the clothes to the opposite side, But he touched a cold body.
The clothes were blown up by the wind, and it also made me see the person on the other side clearly, her face was white, like a porcelain piece, her straight black hair hung down to her heels, and a few of them floated over and landed on my shoulders, you kid, you won't really be scared, right," Seeing that Er Niuzi's face turned from blue to white, as if he could faint at any time, Xi Cheng didn't dare to say any more, he was worried that he might have to camel this heavier person home for a while, so he immediately stopped his mouth, "I said that this may be a dream of mine, It's not true, don't faint. ” In the middle of his words, the bushes behind him made a "crackling" sound, and now he himself was not calm, and the two of them shouted "wow", and turned their heads to run out of the forest.
"Don't panic, it's me."
Hearing Liu Xujiao's voice, the two children exhaled heavily, they turned their heads, but they froze in place with their mouths open.
Liu Xujiao was holding a baby in his hands, and the child was covered in blood, wrapped in his own robe, and held in his arms in an extremely uncomfortable posture.
"This is the child who meowed just now?"
Er Niuzi asked first.
Liu Xujiao nodded, "He didn't know who was left under a bush, he didn't wear anything, it seems that he had just been born," he saw the doubts in the eyes of the two children, and then said, "Don't worry, this child should be asleep, I tried his breath just now, it's no big deal, and we'll find someone with a milk doll in a while, send him over, feed him first, and then make the next step." ” "Who is so cruel as to throw a newborn baby naked in the woods?"
Xi Cheng said indignantly, "This child is so pitiful, he has such a bad mother." ” "Don't worry about this for now, the top priority is to get out of here, it's cold in the forest, don't let him catch a cold."
Liu Xujiao said and walked outside, and several people walked to the side of the far bridge, turned over and crossed the railing, and walked quickly towards the village.
The sunset fell into the river, Xi Cheng turned his head to look at the orange river, and the waves on it were like thousands of silverfish, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
However, as if something was wrong, he rubbed his eyes, and saw that there was a black dot in the silver light, which was rising and falling, as if it could be swallowed up by the river at any moment.
Xi Cheng stood still, he made a pergola with his hands and put it on his forehead, and looked at the black spot again, this look made him completely panicked, "It's not good, big brother, there is a person in the river, it seems that someone has fallen into the water." ”
