The mystery of the moon incident

In the dark woods came the noise of trees being touched, occasionally accompanied by a few calls.Lin Se, who had been separated from Chang Le for a while, became puzzled, because he could see things in the dark.This was very strange, but he couldn't tell whether he had been here before, so he had to look for people while walking.

At this time, Lin Se's feet were suddenly empty, and his whole body fell directly.The scream that almost burst out returned to his throat, and he only slid down two or three meters before stopping. What appeared in front of him was a downward cave.He stood up and looked up, it was very easy to leave, he could go up by climbing a slope, but this cave appeared very abruptly, as if it popped out of nowhere.Hearing that curiosity killed the cat, Lin Se didn't think he was the cat, at best he was curious, so after pondering for a few seconds, he decided to go in and have a look.

The ceiling of the cave was not high, so Lin Se had to bend slightly to enter.He didn't know where it could lead, so he turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and walked forward while leaning on the wall.After walking out about 100 meters, the top of the cave became shorter, and he also had the idea of ​​going back. He had turned around but stopped, paused for a few seconds, and then turned back. It seemed that a subconscious mind told him to go and have a look.

Lin Se endured the posture of almost squatting on the ground and walked forward for a few meters, when the flashlight suddenly cut off.He stopped to take a look around, and there was actually a section more than one meter high in front of him, and the roof of the cave suddenly opened up.He jumped off the section and looked at the surrounding environment carefully, and he walked to the end of the cave.It is like an inverted bottle with a long neck and a big belly, forming a spherical stone chamber at the end, with stalactites of different lengths on the top, and gravel everywhere on the uneven ground.But soon something in the cave attracted him, and that was a square thing covered by a black cloth, which might be a box or something.

How could there be cloth in an inaccessible place? Could it be that the villagers did it?

Thinking of this, Lin Se boldly lifted the black cloth, but at the same time he touched the cloth, someone grabbed his ankle.He lowered his head subconsciously, but he didn't see anything, and when he looked up again, a pair of children's hands were holding his hand holding the cloth.He yelled, and instinctively withdrew his hand, but he didn't want to remove the abrupt black cloth, revealing a transparent box.However, when Lin Se saw the contents of the box clearly, his whole body was not well, and cold sweat broke out down his back.

A red, or nearly purple-red baby sat in a square box less than half a meter high.The already shriveled skin was wrinkled into countless gullies, with a few lanugo hairs on the top of the head, the eye sockets were sunken like two black holes, only a layer of skin remained on the cheeks, highlighting the high cheekbones, and the lower jaw was slightly opened and wrapped by shrinking lips.

Lin Se once thought that there was a cardboard box under the black cloth, and he also thought that it was a pile of books, but he just didn't expect it to be a baby's mummy.But this was not something that terrified him, because behind the baby was a seven or eight-year-old child, with a pale face and expression, staring straight at him, he couldn't imagine how that child shrank in that box .

At this time, the child's hand stretched out from behind and slowly stretched forward until it hugged the baby's mummy.Lin Se hurriedly took a few steps back, it turned out that this child was not in the background.

Time seemed to stand still in the cave, Lin Se was too frightened to move, and the child in the box did not move, still in the same posture of holding the baby.I don't know how long it took Lin Se to think of running away, turned around and grabbed the one-meter-high exit and crawled out.The leg clinging to the stone wall suddenly became heavy, and Lin Se didn't dare to turn his head to look, knowing that something cold was grabbing that leg.Without even thinking about it, he kicked the hand with his other leg.Feeling that the force in his hand was getting weaker, he jumped into the narrow hole and crawled out desperately.

The ceiling of the cave gradually got higher, and finally Lin Se was able to stand up and run. No god, the Holy Mother of God, Avalokitesvara, Bodhisattva Equaling Heaven, or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven would be able to escape with his two legs. Fortunately, his legs did not strenuously run long distances.Maybe I was thinking about escaping. I thought the cave was long, but now it is suddenly short, and there seems to be light at the entrance of the cave.

"Isn't this Lin Se? Why are you here?"

The moment Lin Se ran out of the cave, he heard Yue Xuan's voice, and upon closer inspection, there were Chang Le and others.He breathed a sigh of relief, at least Chang Le was fine.

"That brat..." Lin Se stammered and pointed to the cave behind him before he could recover.

Yuexuan and the others quickly surrounded the cave, and stuck out the lantern to look inside. It was a downward cave, or a cave in the ground would be more appropriate.

"You said there was a dead baby inside?" Yue Xuan asked Lin Se who had finally calmed down.

"That's right, the kid is here, he even grabbed my hand." Lin Se showed his wrist, where purple-red scratches had already appeared.

"You wait here, I'll go in and have a look."

Yuexuan was about to jump into the hole while talking, but Zisang stopped him, like an instinctive reaction.

"Don't worry, but I'm a little worried about you outside, so be careful."

Yuexuan pushed Zisang's hand away, and carried a lantern into the cave.Concerned about the safety of the people outside the cave, he quickly walked deep into the cave, passing through the narrowest cave neck to the cave that Lin Se mentioned, but there was only an empty box on the ground, and the baby inside was gone.

Oops!

Yuexuan hurried back the same way, fearing that the little ghost would cause trouble for Zisang and the others.He thought that the little ghost would come and hit the wall in the cave, but he ran out of the cave smoothly, and Zisang asked him why he ran in such a hurry.He looked at the other people carefully, and took out the compass again, the pointer on it could be fiddled with freely, it seemed that the kid had left.

It was pitch black in the mountains and there was no way to see, Yuexuan and the others decided to hide in this cave temporarily after discussing it. After all, it was still warm in the cave to shelter from the wind, so they had to spend the night waiting for dawn.The five of them sat side by side in the hole, barely able to straighten their legs, and it wasn't cold after a squeeze.

"But little master, are you sick for wearing sunglasses so late?" Chang Le pretended to be worried and reached out to Yuexuan's sunglasses.

Yue Xuan slapped that paw off, took off his sunglasses and closed his eyes, "It's time for you to take your medicine, go to sleep."

Chang Le muttered in a low voice, and then asked Zisang beside him, "Master, is my little master a new facelift, I'm afraid I won't see you...Wow!"

"Smash your cucumber head to serve as food and drink, so that you will not be big or small!"

Yue Xuan gave Chang Le a slap very bluntly, the poor Chang Le hugged his head and wailed, Lin Se rubbed it for him.

"Look at your master, have I pulled my skin?" Yue Xuan grabbed Chang Le again, pointing to his eyes for him to see.

Chang Le shook his head, the lantern light was really weak, but the eyes reflecting the lantern light seemed wrong, not as dark as ordinary people's black pupils.

"Go to sleep if you know, I don't know if that kid will sneak attack on us." Yue Xuan pushed Chang Le away, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

They were tired after tossing around for most of the night, and they gradually fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes.

Zisang opened his eyes after an unknown period of time, because his shoulders were heavy, and he turned his head to see Yue Xuan, sleeping soundly on his shoulder.This scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember when it happened, so he stared at Yue Xuan unconsciously for a long time, until the lantern in the cave went out.Just when he was drowsy and began to feel sleepy again, his shoulders lightened, and then he felt something passing across his chest, and it fell onto his legs without moving.He raised his hand and touched his furry head and half of his face.Yue Xuan in his sleep was probably not very comfortable, he moved into a comfortable position, but his head did not leave his legs.He didn't bother to help Yue Xuan up, took off his coat and covered Yue Xuan, put one hand on Yue Xuan's chest, and gradually fell asleep with half his arms around Yue Xuan.

It was getting brighter, and the light from outside the cave seemed to wake up the people inside.Zisang wakes up Yuexuan first, and puts glasses on him, lest Chang Le and others see his eyes.

They checked the time, and it was only after six o'clock, so they woke up and started to find their way down the mountain.

From the voices of the villagers, it is not difficult to know that due to the ghosts, few people enter the back mountain, so they have nothing to rely on except the sun to tell the direction.They were not familiar with the mountains and forests, and it took them three hours to get back to Yanli Village.It's strange to say that there are more than ten people standing in the hidden mountain village where I usually don't see a few people, and I don't know what they are talking about.

Yue Xuan and the others were of course curious about why the villagers gathered in the village, and went to inquire about what happened.The middle-aged couple who decided to take them in yesterday was also there. Seeing them was like seeing a ghost, and ran home screaming.It doesn't matter if the two shouted, the rest of the elderly people with bad legs also ran home one after another, closed the door and never came out again.

"It's over, they thought we were cheating."

Yue Xuan was very helpless, walked to the middle-aged couple's house, came to the door and knocked on the door to say hello.The people inside the door started to pretend to be dead, no matter what Yue Xuan explained, they just refused to open the door.

"Brother and sister, we are hungry, give us something to eat, a few steamed buns are fine, and I will give you money." Yue Xuan yelled pitifully.

"Yuexuan, I don't think they will talk to us anymore." Zisang had the intention of going back, and going to another house must have the same result.

Yue Xuan patted his stomach, looked at the closed door, and had no choice but to go back and eat.When he turned around, he saw Lin Se by accident, and felt that there seemed to be a black thing behind Lin Se, and pulled Lin Se to see behind him, it turned out to be a dead baby, and his already stiff little hands seemed to be alive. Wearing Lin-colored clothes.

"It's him, yesterday's ghost." Lin Se recognized at a glance that this black dead baby was the one held by the little ghost, but he didn't expect this thing to keep pulling him.

Yue Xuan took out the Dao Talisman and pasted it on the dead baby's head, and easily took it away from Lin Se's body, and she didn't know why this little thing followed Lin Se.

"Master, is this really a baby?" Zheng Xiao was curious but didn't dare to look at it too much. He always felt that if he looked at it one more time, his back would get chills.

"Otherwise you touch it?"

Yuexuan sent off to Zheng Xiao, and Zheng Xiao was so frightened that he hid behind Zisang for shelter.

"Yuexuan, could this be the corpse of that brat? But it doesn't seem very old." Zisang wondered.

"It wouldn't be surprising if it was."

Yue Xuan glanced around, and found a dirty rag under the stone beside the road, and hurriedly asked Zheng Xiao to pick it up.Zheng Xiao kicked away the stone, and came back with a corner of the rag.Yue Xuan looked at the rag, it seemed that someone's unwanted dishcloth had leaked several holes, but it was not his turn to be picky in this situation, so he put the dead baby in it and wrapped it up, explaining while wrapping it up.

"Usually speaking, after death, the baby's soul will wander around the world. If you are lucky, you will be taken away by ghost messengers, and you will find a chance to reincarnate. If you are not lucky, you will die. After being raised by humans, it is more appropriate to call it a ghost boy. The ghost boy accepts the support of the host and will grow up like a normal child, such as this one now." Yue Xuan shook the dead baby wrapped in rags, "I think Yan Hong would really like to see this .”

They left Yanli Village and returned to K City, but they were not in a hurry to find Yan Hong, but waited for that kid to appear.This time Yuexuan was more patient, either sleeping or teasing Zisang at the end of the day.Of course, Yuexuan also broke the seal while Zisang fell asleep and restored some of Zisang's memories.But these memories are scattered for Zisang, some are about Yuexuan, and some are about others.According to Zisang himself, it's like listening to stories from different people. Some people tell the same thing and others tell the same thing.

Three days later, Yue Xuan's patience was almost at an end, and he just played with the dead baby brought back.

"You've been playing with him for four hours, aren't you bored?"

Zisang couldn't help reminding Yuexuan that since he opened his eyes in the morning, he kept turning the dead baby upside down, lifting it up and down again, and it seemed that only these two actions were left in his brain circuit.

"You're bored after staring at me for four hours, aren't you?" Yue Xuan turned the dead baby away as he spoke, wondering where that kid went.According to his little apprentice, Yan Hong has been going to school honestly recently, and there have been no strange things in school, just like nothing happened before.The strangest thing is that the ghost boy should avoid them, why would he follow them? This is completely unreasonable. Could it be that he did it on purpose?

Zisang got up and put the dead baby lying on the bed on the bedside table, "I want to see how long you will be bored."

"Then you won, you are more boring than me." Yue Xuan stopped lying in bed, sat up and stared at the dead baby.

"Speaking of the dead baby, where did he come from? It can't be Yan Hongsheng, right?"

This has always been what Zisang wanted to ask, how could a student get a dead baby, whether the baby died after birth, or died of an accident, and whether Yan Hong knew the origin of the dead baby, these are all questions.

"I think we can't just sit around like this."

Yuexuan said this and started to rummage through his pockets, and after a while, he found a one-yuan coin.He casually threw the coin on the ground, but the coin changed before it hit the ground, and quickly turned into a child, just like the escaped kid.
