Live fortune telling: too accurate a fortune teller becomes a public enemy in the mysterious world
Chapter 124 The drowned child
"I remember that the landlady was still a little angry at the time, saying that she was married off just after she came of age." Meng Ziqi said.
"She was actually very lucky and had the chance to grow up. But the child in the gourd was thrown into the pond without even cutting the umbilical cord after birth."
"What? Who would be so cruel as to attack a baby?" Several people were startled.
They have lived in the city since childhood and were pampered by their parents. They never thought that somewhere in the same world, there would be people who drowned after giving birth to their children.
Zhong Li raised his hand to signal them to sit down, and continued: "The more remote the mountainous area, the more serious the preference for boys over girls. These people think that girls will get married sooner or later when they grow up, and they are raised for other people's families. Only boys can Only by carrying on the family line can the son take care of himself until his death."
"In that poor era, if you raised a chicken at home, you could still kill it for meat, but raising a girl would only waste food. So if many families gave birth to a girl, they would either give it away or sell it. No one wanted it. , they would cover them with pillows or throw them into the water and drown them.”
"Is there any royal law for this? These people have no conscience, and the police don't care?"
Meng Ziqi really couldn't imagine how no one could stop such a tragedy.
Cheng Nuo sneered and said: "Care? How to care? This kind of thing has happened in many rural areas. These people are uneducated and illiterate. If you want to be reasonable, why not give her a RMB."
"From the time they were pregnant to the time they gave birth, they never had a prenatal check-up. Even when they gave birth, these people would find experienced women in the village to deliver their babies. Some people were even reluctant to pay the women and went directly to the mother-in-law. So stiff."
"When a baby is born, the first thing he sees is whether he is a boy or girl. If it's a boy, the firecrackers will be set off on the roof. If it's a girl, she'll be drowned in a basin of excrement."
When she said this, her eyes turned red: "Even the girls who survived are just free labor in captivity at home."
"I once saw a five-year-old girl in a mountainous area. She got up before dawn every day to prepare a meal for the whole family, and then went to the fields to plant rice. On hot days, when the adults went home to rest, the little girl had to carry Wear a backpack and go pull some pig grass to feed the pigs."
"The child was five years old and was not taller than his three-year-old brother. After he was bitten by a poisonous snake, his family didn't shed a single tear. They dug a hole and threw it in for burial. No one in the family was sad."
"The girl also had an older sister who lived the same life. At the age of fifteen, she married a thirty-seven-year-old lame man for a gift of twenty thousand yuan. When she lived to be nineteen, she was beaten to death by the man. ”
As she spoke, tears kept falling.
She was 22 years old that year and had just graduated from college. She followed an expedition team into the mountains for the first time.
She just kindly gave the child a candy. She ate half of it and wrapped the other half, saying she was taking it back to her brother.
I thought her family would praise her for being so sensible.
Unexpectedly, she got a severe beating for her, just because she shouldn't have eaten half of the candy, so she gave it to her brother.
Seeing the child's body thrown into the pit like rags by her family, she felt the injustice of fate for the first time and saw the ugliness of human nature for the first time.
Zhong Li silently handed her a tissue.
Huang Zixuan is of mixed race and went abroad when he was very young. This is the first time I heard of such a thing!
He asked in a low voice: "Are there many cases like this?"
Zhong Li glanced at him and said: "There is a pond not far outside that is smaller than the size of a basketball court. There must be ten children trapped in the water like this!"
"Sister Zhong Li, why don't they reincarnate? Isn't it good to start a new life?" Chen Jingrong asked in confusion.
"Have you ever heard of the story of the water ghost?"
Zhong Li saw a few people shaking their heads and continued: "Anyone who falls into the water and dies will not return to the underworld, but will be a slave to the river ghost. If you want to escape the control of the river ghost, you must exchange your old soul with a new one." soul."
"You have to pull another living person into the water so that the ghost in front can leave. Is that what you mean?"
Meng Ziqi had heard this saying before, but she thought it was just a joke made by the old people.
Zhong Li nodded: "You can say that. But this depends on the character of the river ghost. In many cases, the river ghost has no credibility."
"Wow, Sister Zhong Li, these children are so pitiful, can we help them?"
Meng Ziqi reached out and shook her arm, hoping that she would rescue the water ghosts detained at the bottom of the lake.
"Cough cough cough..."
He Jun finally woke up at this time, but he was caught in the rain and coughed.
"Are you awake? Come and drink the medicine." Cheng Nuo handed the thermos cup to her.
"Cough cough cough... Is this cold medicine?"
"Well, you have caught a cold and have a slight fever. It's Sanjiu. You'll be better soon and you won't feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Nuo didn't dare to tell her about being possessed by a ghost, for fear that she would have psychological shadow in the future, but she did remember it.
Seeing Zhong Li looking at her, she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Zhong Li, thank you! And... I'm sorry for yesterday!"
Zhong Li smiled faintly: "Okay, it's not a big deal in the first place, just forget it! Take the medicine and sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"Zhong Li, those people were spreading rumors before that Anton Village was haunted. Was it caused by these brats?"
Deng Weiyi was still thinking about those previous rumors.
The people asking for help in this episode want them to stay in Andong Village for one night to prove that there are no ghosts in Andong Village.
The fact that they live on the mountain means that the task has not been completed and they still need to go down the mountain to stay for one night.
Zhong Li shook his head, "Sometimes ghosts are not scary. The scariest thing is often the human heart."
She couldn't say much, they could only go down the mountain and discover the clues.
But before that, they still have one more disaster.
Zhong Li glanced at the dark clouds above their heads and felt a little worried for them.
"puff....."
Some of the sticks in the fire were not dry, and sparks exploded. Several people were startled and completely lost their sleep.
At this time, it was raining harder outside. Amidst the lightning and thunder, the reflected sky was filled with dark clouds.
Cheng Nuo walked along the narrow cave and inspected the cave walls carefully.
"Cheng Nuo, what are you looking for? Do you need help?" Chen Jingrong asked curiously.
At first, they were just looking at her movements with curiosity, but what she said next was shocking.
"If it continues to rain, there is a danger of landslides! Everyone, hurry up and pack your things. You must bring everything you can! Leave right now!"
