Later, the Yu family's restriction order on the children was lifted, but they never went to play on the slope again.

In fact, the place they often go to is the forbidden area in the village. There is no one inhabited there, the forest is desolate and the pool is cold, and only the cicadas and titmouses accompany each other.

They hid their slingshots and fishing rods there, and it seemed like a secret paradise for the two of them.

It happened that the fishing line ran out that day, and Yu Bingwen wanted to go back to beg for fishing line. Luo Youning, as usual, knelt down beside the boulder by the pool, doing his summer homework and waiting for him.

Shi Shi knocked his elbows sorely. He stood up and shook his arms. He was about to sit down and continue writing when he suddenly heard someone's voice in the distance.

Not from the direction of the village, but from the deep mountains on the other side.

It might be a villager hunting, or a woodcutter chopping wood.No matter which one, he couldn't escape a lecture.

Luo Youning simply picked up the tools on the ground, picked up his homework and hopped three times like a rabbit, and rushed into the deep hole under the weeds nearby.

The bottom of this deep pit goes straight down into the roots of the tree, enough to hide an adult, and the overgrown weeds on the pit are the best concealment.

He listened to the movement with his ears upright, and he heard that the person was still humming, the singing was ethereal and simple, like a nursery rhyme.

After listening to it for a while, he realized that it was the weird nursery rhyme sung in dialect in the village.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer, and the sound of dragging heavy objects became more and more clear.

Luo Youning couldn't help poking his head out, hiding among the lush weeds and peeking out.

The mountain wind shuttles through the forest, bringing the fragrance of plants and trees, but also a touch of alcohol.

The footsteps stopped and went, turned around the big tree, and a tall figure suddenly came into view——

That was Dayu's cousin.

He was holding an ax in one hand and a sack in the other. His black suit was wrinkled like a bunch of salted dried vegetables, his face was flushed, and he staggered as he walked, as if he was drunk.

There seemed to be some small animal in the sack in his hand, and it took him a while to wake up, struggling endlessly in the sack.

The man dragged it away for a while, then suddenly became impatient and kicked the sack a few times.

The movements in the sack became weaker and weaker, only intermittent meowing sounds, like the painful sobs of a child rolling out of his throat.

Luo Youning's heart was pounding, and for a moment he thought of the scarred child in the man's house. The fear lingered, and he clenched his fingers to try to calm himself down.

The man dragged the sack to the edge of the pool before he bent down to untie the bag. With a happy smile on his lips, he hummed a nursery rhyme over and over again: "Lin Zhongyan, who is hiding. The eyes in the pool are spying on someone. Hiding the corpse Where are the birds in the forest... the fish in the Hidden Soul Lake are gone..."

The mouth of the bag came loose, and a stream of blood crawled out along the mouth of the bag like a thin snake.

The moment he saw the contents of the bag clearly, Luo Youning tightly covered his mouth, his eyes widened, his face showed fear, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

The man poured out a seven or eight-year-old boy from the bag.His limbs were soft, his arms and legs were folded out strangely, his whole body looked like a doll made of rubber, the exposed skin was even more rotten, and at first glance he couldn't pick out a good piece of meat.

He was still alive, but he couldn't speak a single word, only a sobbing sound from his throat.

The man looked down at him, with a soft tone as if coaxing a baby in the cradle: "Who told your father to beat my dog ​​to death, otherwise you can go to a warmer place."

The boy on the ground raised his eyes and stared at him. He couldn't move his limbs and could only keep hitting the ground with his forehead and begging for mercy.

"Good boy," the man smiled slightly, and slowly raised the axe, "You have to be good, and uncle will like you more."

Luo Youning choked for breath, and suddenly squatted down.After a scream, he heard the sound of the ax blade smashing the bones, and he heard the sound of blood dripping into the pool...

He covered his ears and closed his eyes. He didn't dare to listen or look. His hands and feet were as cold as if he was in a frozen cave. He didn't know how long the killing lasted. When he stood up again, the man was gone. figure.

The body was gone, and the sack was gone, only the dark brown blood remained in the soil and weeds.

The forest wind is rustling, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the layers of white clouds on the sky look like fish scales.

There will be a heavy rain during the night, and the rain will wash away all the evidence.

Luo Youning didn't know how he finally crawled out of the deep pit where he was hiding. His mind was full of confusion, his hands and feet were still trembling, and his body was covered in mud.

He ran out frantically, he had to tell Yu Bingwen and the villagers that the murderer was in their village, he had just killed a child!

He ran so desperately that he thought he would be able to convey the horrific truth smoothly.

However... when he turned the corner through the jungle, the man standing in front of him blocked all his way.

The man looked down at him with a weird smile on his lips, "Where are you going?"

Luo Youning stared at him and took a few steps back.

The man said: "Did you see it just now?"

Seeing the ax in the man's hand from the corner of the eye, Luo Youning shook his head violently.

"The deceitful child will turn into a long-nosed Pinocchio," the man waved at him, "come to me."

Luo Youning took a few steps back and wanted to run again, but the man was staring at him with an axe. He was too scared. He was afraid that if he turned around, the man's axe would cut off his neck.

"It's a pity, I'm a bit too old," the man smiled sinisterly, and raised his ax slightly, "but let's just make it, it's rare to have such a decent one in this dilapidated village."

Luo Youning was in a daze, his first reaction was that the man wanted to kill him, and he wanted to run away.

But after running a few steps, the man rushed over and pinned him down firmly.

The smoky smell of wine penetrated into the nostrils along with the smell of mud and tide, and the weeds and gravels all over the ground pierced his chest with thin short sleeves.

He was still on the boundary line between a teenager and a child, and he still half understood the dirty things of being an adult, but the obscene malice revealed by the man was enough for him to understand everything in an instant.

He kicked the ground frantically, struggling to get away from under the man.He opened his mouth and screamed "Help" crazily, his throat rolled out a panic cry that he had never had before, and his voice was like a terrified baby bird circling and fleeing in the depths of the dense forest.

He was still too young after all.

The fists and kicks that can usually make people of the same age run away, but when they fall on this man, they are like an ant shaking a tree, weak and imperceptible.

This is a nightmare I will never forget--

The devil's grin filled his ears, and the sudden drop of pain almost tore him in half from the inside out.

For a moment, he even felt that he had fallen into an abyss.His soul was stripped from his body, he couldn't breathe, he looked around and saw sharp knives, thousands of knives fell, pierced his skull, pulled apart his flesh, and stabbed him full of viscera. Dirty blood all over the floor.

Just when Luo Youning thought he would die in despair, he heard Yu Bingwen's roar.

At this time, Yu Bingwen had grown tall and fat, but he was usually empty-handed. When fighting with others, he was always beaten to hide and beg for mercy.

This was the first time he was so angry, and also the first time he was so brave.

He blasted on the man's body like a bomb exploded, knocking him out of Luo Youning's body.

By the time Luo Youning recovered, he had wrestled with the man, and was easily pushed down to the ground by the man.

Alcohol wrung out the remaining sanity of the man, his eyes were red like a ghost descended into the world, his thick fingers gradually retracted, and he firmly grasped Yu Bingwen's immature neck.

Luo Youning rushed over again, kicking and biting him desperately, trying to knock the man away from Yu Bingwen, but the man seemed to have made up his mind to strangle the obstructive cousin to death.

At this time, Yu Bingwen's complexion had turned red and purple. He was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. His eyes were blood red and about to burst out. Dead fish, when his life was hanging by a thread, he was still silently urging Luo Youning: Go away!

In a blink of an eye, Luo Youning saw the ax—the ax that was abandoned by the man.

The ax blade was stained with brown stains, and the blood of an unknown child remained.

This murder weapon that used to do all kinds of evil has become the only salvation in his eyes at this moment.

Luo Youning rushed over and grabbed the handle of the ax tightly, and the strange force he didn't know made him drag the giant ax with difficulty.

One step, two steps...

He was getting closer and closer to the man, and he gritted his teeth and raised the ax viciously.

The ax was so heavy it took almost all his strength.

The blade of the ax is so blunt, but the force of the falling is like a falling guillotine, cutting right on the back of the man's neck.

He couldn't hold it well, and he clenched his teeth, trying to grasp it firmly when he slid down.The slightly deflected ax blade cut a wound on the side of the man's neck, and the crackling sound of the neck bone was accompanied by blood splashing all over Luo Youning's hands.

The man was cut and jumped forward, and suddenly let go of the hand that was strangling the child's neck.

Blood gurgled out from between his necks, he turned his head, as if he didn't feel any pain, with a fierce look in his eyes, he grabbed the ax with his hands.

Yu Bingwen was on the verge of coma at this moment, and the red marks around his throat were clearly visible.

Luo Youning yelled Yu Bingwen's name, and worried that Yu Bingwen under him hurriedly backed away.

The man staggered up from Yu Bingwen's body, the pain aroused his ferocity, and the alcohol confused his nerves, he staggered, but his eyes were red, and the murderous intent was evident.

The ax was too heavy, and Luo Youning couldn't carry it for long, so he could only drag the ax handle to keep dodging. The man panted heavily, getting closer and closer.

With a loud bang, the ax dropped from his hand and fell to the ground. Just as the man was about to pounce on him, he suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

It's Yu Bingwen!

He didn't know when he woke up, rushed up and hugged the man's legs tightly and dragged him down.The man's thick legs kept kicking back, kicking right on his chest and abdomen, the pain made his face distorted, but he didn't dare to let go, he raised his head to look at Luo Youning, and shouted loudly: "Run! "

But Luo Youning had already picked up the axe, blood splashed all over his face, and the bloody breath aroused the viciousness of the young beast.

He stepped on the back of the man's head, and slowly raised the ax——

He didn't need to control his strength anymore, he just let the ax fall, and with the momentum of the fall, he chopped hard at the man's neck!

The sound of the neck being broken was clear and piercing, and the man let out a howl of pain, and all the struggles were frozen at that moment.

He didn't dare to relax, so he raised the ax and slashed at the man's neck again.

The splattered blood mixed with the minced meat and stuck to the corner of his underwear.

Luo Youning's eyes turned red, and the suppressed pain and fear found an outlet to vent at that moment.He desperately lifted the ax and chopped at the man's body until his arms became weak, until the ax fell off from his fingertips and hit his feet heavily.

"--enough!"

The blood was sticky to his hands, just like the indescribable disgust that remained in his body.

He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

Yu Bingwen had already let go of the man and crawled over. He was also covered in dirt and looked embarrassed.He staggered towards Luo Youning, and hugged his partner tightly with all his strength: "It's okay Ningning, it's okay...he's dead."

Luo Youning stared straight ahead blankly. At this moment, the man's upper body was paralyzed on the ground. The blood and mud made him look like a ball of pickled mud, and he was indeed a ball of dirty mud.
