Chapter 157 (1/2)

In the woods outside the north gate, on a rugged mountain road, a young man and a brother holding a baby were hurrying to the West.

”Ah, come on, let's hurry up.” The young man supported his brother behind him with one hand and his arm with the other.

”Ah Liang, I, I can't walk anymore. Xiao Ming, do you think he's okay? ” The brother holding the baby, that is, Lin Shuyao, was sweating and panting.

The young man was Lin Liang, Lin Shumo's second son. He frowned and replied, ”I don't know what that man will do. In short, let's take the child he wants to him quickly. ”

Speaking of the baby, uncle Lin looked down into his arms.

Yu Baobao, who was only three months old, was staring at him with black eyes. When he saw him looking down at himself and thinking he was going to play with himself, he immediately stretched out his little hand and shook it in front of him. He was excited to ”ah” for a while. Then he opened his mouth, which could only see pink gums and tongue, and smiled at him.

Uncle Lin stopped.

”Well, what's the matter? Are you tired? Shall I hold it? ” Lin Liang looked at him suspiciously. Ah Mo asked, and then wanted to reach out to pick up the child.

”No, I'll hold it.” Lin Shumo hugged the child and looked at the baby's innocent face. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at the baby's clear eyes again.

He raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and said with tears, ”ah Liang, baby, will the child be all right? What does that man want him to do? He's so young. Let's, let's do this. If something happens to the baby, it will be hit by thunder and lightning... Otherwise, let's find another way? Ah? ”

Lin Shuyao released a hand and grabbed Lin Liang's arm excitedly, with worry and struggle on his face.

Lin Liang also looked at the baby, and then said impatiently, ”Alas, ah! Why are you doing this again? Didn't we agree? What will Xiao Ming do if he doesn't give the child to that man? Xiao Ming is your grandson. He is still crying and waiting for us to save him! ”

”Can, can...” Uncle Lin's eyes are red. He said, ”but something's going to happen to the child. We won't be peaceful all our life. We'll be sinners all our life!”

”What do you say?! What can we do now? ” Lin Liang roared, impatiently shook off uncle Lin's hand, sat down on the ground, held his head in his hands, kept holding his hair, and roared. He hit the tree trunk next to him like a vent of anger.

Lin Liang's roar frightened the baby. As soon as his mouth shriveled, he began to cry, and his eyes soon turned red.

Hearing the baby crying, uncle Lin quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, held the baby and patted his swaddling clothes, shaking and coaxing him: ”Oh, baby, baby, baby don't cry, baby don't cry...”

Uncle Lin took some time to coax the baby.

The baby cried and cried. He was tired and fell asleep. His face turned red.

Lin Shuyao turned to look at his son, looked at the baby, and cried. He can't help it. They're dead.

Yesterday afternoon, his three-year-old grandson Xiaoming was playing in the yard. He and his son husband were busy in the house. After they were busy for a while, they felt as if they hadn't heard the sound of the child playing for a while. When they went to the yard to find the child, they found that the child was gone.

They thought the child had gone to the next door neighbor's house to play, so they went to look for it, but they couldn't find it. They inquired about the whole street around their home and their neighbors, but they couldn't find it.

They were so anxious that the three-year-old child couldn't go far, and they didn't hear the child's voice for about a quarter of an hour, and the child disappeared. It must not be the child who went out by himself, but was carried away.

Their family had been looking for it, but it was dark, but they found a letter stuffed in the crack of the door.

Their family was illiterate, and they hurried to find someone who could read to help them. They knew that it said: if you want to find the child, go and exchange the newborn child taken care of by the child two months ago. You are not allowed to report to the official, otherwise the child's life will be lost.

It didn't write the address, but said to tell them the address tomorrow morning, and it also said that the child's ah Mo would take the child to the cloth Village tomorrow morning.

As soon as they heard that uncle Lin took care of the newborn child two months ago, only Yu Qingze and Leger's baby.

The family stayed up all night. After discussing, they finally decided to let Lin Shuyao bring Yu Qingze's child.

The next morning, they received a letter, which said the place of exchanging children. The family rushed over immediately. In a broken straw house, they saw a man with a shaggy head clasping Xiao Ming and holding a sharp scissors to Xiao Ming's neck.

Xiao Ming is only three years old. He has long been frightened. He cried loudly. When he saw his father and old man, he cried even more. He cried for his father and stretched out his hands to find his father.

When they saw the child like this, they didn't think about anything. They approached the man and the child and told the man to exchange money for the child. No matter how much they wanted, they went to borrow it.

The man disagreed. Seeing that they didn't bring Yu Qingze's child, the scissors stretched forward. The scissors immediately pricked blood beads on the child's neck.

They were too frightened to move.

The man asked them to bring Yu Qingze's child, or stab the child immediately.

Lin Shumo and Lin Liang were frightened. They hurried back to the city and asked Lin Shumo to hold the child. Lin Liang met them outside the city. Then Lin Liang's husband looked at the man and the child over there.

Lin Shuyao looked at his son on the ground. He was also very afraid and helpless. He didn't know what to do. He asked his son, ”ah Liang, what should I do now? After such a long time, Le Ge'er, they must have been looking for children. Maybe they will find them soon. ”

Lin Liang heard the speech and stopped. After a while, he slowly looked up and his eyes were red. He said to Lin Shuyao, ”ah, I have no way. Even if I bear the sin all my life, I can't watch Xiao Ming die! He is my son and your own grandson. ”

Thinking of the blood marks on his grandson's neck, uncle Lin trembled in his heart, looked at the sleeping face of the baby in his arms, was cruel, clenched his teeth and nodded.

The two of them went on, and the broken thatched cottage was two miles ahead. It took them about a quarter of an hour to get there.

Seeing that they had brought the child, Lin Fulang immediately came forward and grabbed Lin Liang's arm. Lin Liang patted his hand and comforted him.

”We have brought the child you want. Let my child go!” Lin Liang said at the door of the broken hut.

”Yes, let my son go!” Cried linfron.

The man saw that uncle Lin was really holding a swaddling clothes in his hand. His head, which had been hanging low, suddenly raised. His eyes under the cover of long hair flashed a fanatical light. Through his long hair, a red mole in the center of his eyebrows loomed.

”You are not allowed to come in. Step back, step back!” Cried the man.

Lin Shuyao, they retreated according to their words.

Then, in Xiaoming's cry, the man dragged Xiaoming out of the hut, then put scissors against Xiaoming's neck and shouted, ”bring the child over and let me have a look.”

Lin Liang reached out to hold the baby.

The man suddenly shouted again, ”it's not you! You, just you, come here! ”

The man raised his chin and motioned uncle Lin to hold the baby to him.

Lin Shuyao trembled slightly and walked slowly with the baby in his arms.

”Dad! Ah...... ”Xiao Ming has been crying for a long time, his voice is hoarse, his face is full of tears, crying and dry, dry and wet. Seeing his old man coming, he has been looking at him and crying:” old man, sobbing, old man... ”

Lin Shuyao looked at the blood on his grandson's neck and was worried to death. He cried: ”baby, don't cry, don't move. Be careful of the scissors. I'm coming to save you...”

This burst of shouting and crying, Yu Baobao was awakened and cried loudly.

Both the big and small children cried and their hearts were broken to hear the adults.

The man didn't care about the child crying and said, ”show the child's face and let me see!”

Lin Shuyao held the baby lower according to his words, took off the swaddling clothes and let the man see Yu Baobao's face.
