The villain is ill

Under the light of the dimly lit candles, in the eyes of several people, a corpse suddenly sat up on the edge of the back door steps.

The three of them were frightened and ran back. After pushing and yelling, Chuanzi, who was running first, tripped over a corpse, and the other two rushed forward before they could react. lump.

For a while, there were screams and curses.

The fat man yelled the worst. After standing upright, he still yelled that something was wrong. He didn't wake up until he was slapped twice on the forehead. He covered his head and looked at the tall and thin boy, "Boss, why did you hit me?"

The tall and thin boy ignored him, stooped to pick up the candle and walked towards the courtyard.

"Hey! Boss!" Seeing that the light was getting farther and farther away, the fat man stood up covering his head, and he didn't forget to give Chuanzi who was rubbing his butt and crying for pain, "Hurry up."

Chuanzi staggered when he was called out, and hurried to follow.

The two walked to the backyard one after the other, and saw the tall and thin boy squatting down holding a candle, and the two turned pale with fright. Isn't this the place where they saw the "ghost" just now?

Without thinking too much, the two strode over, trying to pull the boss away.

But before they could get to the front, the two of them fell down again because they were too anxious to pay attention to their feet. Chuanzi was on top of the fat man. The stench of corpses that instantly choked into the nostrils was disgusting enough.

The two stood up in a hurry, only to realize that the person in front of the thin and tall boy was not a ghost, but a person.

To be precise, it was a child who looked no more than three or four years old.

Fatty can assure you that he has never seen such a beautiful child in his more than ten years of walking around the streets, just like the fairy boy mentioned in the storybook, especially those eyes, which are big and bright, as clear as mountains The spring water is generally clean.

The thin and tall young man was half kneeling in front of him at this moment, talking to him in a soft voice: "Mo Mo, it must be Mo Mo. I am Brother Qin Yuan. I was rescued by your mother the year before last, and I have lived here for a few days. Day, I hugged you twice at that time, do you remember?"

"It turns out that the boss was here when he disappeared the year before last, no wonder we couldn't find it." The fat man interjected, "He is so young, how could he remember what happened the year before..."

Before he finished speaking, the fat man was covered by Chuanzi. He raised his hand and wanted to slap him away, but he saw Chuanzi winking at him persistently. When he took a closer look, he saw Qin Yuan's gaze, and he immediately froze. Rin calmed down embarrassingly.

Qin Yuan was about to warn the fat man, when he suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled, he turned his head to look at Chu Mo with a smile, "Has Mo Mo remembered your brother?"

Chu Mo nodded, pulled Qin Yuan's sleeve, pointed to the woman under the quilt, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, but his mouth shape could be seen: "Mother is sick."

The candle prints a woman's face covered with corpse spots. She is very beautiful. Even if there are many corpse spots on her face, it is not difficult to see her beauty before she was alive. Being very close to her, Chu Mo was full of ignorance, Qin Yuan only felt that his throat was a little congested, he took a deep breath, and asked, "How long has your mother been ill?"

Chu Mo leaned on his mother, carefully covered her with the quilt, stretched out his hand to break it off, and finally raised four fingers.

Qin Yuan nodded, "It's been four days? What did you eat? Are you hungry?"

Chu Mo pointed to the edge of the steps, and smiled at him. Qin Yuan leaned over to look, and saw a few empty bowls on top, and a row of food behind, steamed buns, sesame seed cakes, steamed buns, and a few small bowls. The steamed buns at the front were moldy, and the small bowls at the back were full of raw rice soaked in clear water. These were obviously prepared by Chu Mo for his mother.

After Qin Yuan finished reading, he turned his head and saw that Chu Mo had found a dry steamed bun out of nowhere and was feeding it to the woman's mouth. The woman had been dead for a long time, so naturally she couldn't eat it, but Chu Mo was obviously not reconciled, he Then he took out a small piece of steamed bun and continued stuffing it into the woman's mouth.

Qin Yuan was stunned, he finally knew where the debris on the ground around the woman's mouth came from.

The child still didn't understand why his mother didn't eat anymore. He thought she was sick, so he found her a quilt, fearing that she would be hungry, so he brought her food, but he didn't know that his mother was dead.

After trying several times in a row, it still ended in failure. Chu Mo was a little anxious, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Qin Yuan for help.

His gaze was so eager that Qin Yuan's heart beat suddenly. He hadn't figured out how to explain life and death to a child who didn't understand anything, let alone this person was his savior.

At this time, the fat man couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to Chu Mo and patted his head, "Your mother is just sick and needs to rest. She will eat when she wakes up. It's cold on the ground. Let's help her to the bed." Go and rest."

Only then did Qin Yuan come to his senses, and cast admiring glances at the fat man, "Yes, she is sick and can't eat, let's help her into the room first."

The woman's body was already stiff, and there was still a certain degree of decay. The three of them carefully lifted her up, for fear of losing something. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they entered the room and put her on the bed.

It was getting late, and the teenagers who had fled all day were already exhausted, and they didn't bother to find another place. They found a quilt alone, and made a bed in the living room outside the bedroom, and went to sleep as soon as they lay down. .

Chu Mo was placed next to Qin Yuan, and soon fell silent.

Only Qin Yuan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. For a moment, he thought of the scene when he was rescued by a woman the year before last. At that time, Chu Mo had just learned to walk, and because he was born dumb, he was not taken seriously. The mother and son also lived in this secluded backyard. Rich, but peaceful and peaceful, and Chu Mo is smart and cute, life is quite comfortable.Who knows who this Chu family provoked and ended up in such an end, aren't they a family of cultivators who claim to have great powers?Why was there only one three-year-old child who was desperately protected by his mother?If it hadn't happened to be chased in today, the child would not know what the result would be.

Turning around, Qin Yuan thought of the scene when he saw Chu Mo just now, and thought of his clear and innocent eyes, his heart churns for a while, and he doesn't know how this child has been living these past few days.

Perhaps because he was too absorbed in his thoughts, Qin Yuan didn't realize when Chu Mo disappeared, turned over and saw that he was gone, he was frightened and frightened, and quickly stood up to look for him.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yuan walked towards the back room, and he stopped when he entered the room. He heard a small sob, and through the bright moonlight that had just cast the clouds, he saw Chu Mo curled up in the woman's arms. Li, his body trembled slightly, and the crying sound came from him.

Qin Yuan stood there for a long time, seeing that Chu Mo was tired from crying and had fallen asleep before approaching carefully. He was lying in the arms circled by the woman, curled up into a ball, his face covered with tears.

That's right, this child is so smart, he still remembers meeting him when he was one year old, so how could he not know life and death?

He just didn't want to face it.

Qin Yuan reached out to wipe the tears on Chu Mo's face, sighed, "I'm still a child."

The next day, the three searched the manor for a long time, and finally found a coffin in the ancestral hall, put the woman's body in behind Chu Mo's back, and buried it under a peach tree outside the backyard gate.

At first Chuanzi and Fatty were worried that Chu Mo would cry and look for him for a day or two, but later they found that he seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and just followed Qin Yuan around, not at all sad, and couldn't help sighing that he was really a child, what happened? I forget quickly.

Only Qin Yuan, who is the most observant, knows that this child is really frighteningly sensible.

In the next few days, the three dug a big hole in the mountain behind the Chu family and buried everyone in the Chu family.

Putting the last handful of soil on top, Qin Yuan made a bow, and said to the other two: "It's been half a month since I came in, it's time to go out."

The fat man wiped off his sweat and looked at Qin Yuan, "Where are you going?"

Chuanzi also hesitated, "I've had enough of living without a fixed place. I think it's pretty good here. Anyway, there's no one else. Let's just stay here."

Qin Yuan said: "Do you know how the Chu family destroyed the family? What's their purpose? How do you know they won't come again? What's more, no one in the Chu family has gone out these days, what if someone else breaks in? Difficult." No, you think that if you and I can get in here, others can't?"

A few questions immediately shocked the two of them into a cold sweat. They hadn't thought about the problem before.

Immediately, the two of them couldn't stand anymore, wishing they could leave this place of right and wrong immediately, Chuanzi said: "What about the little guy?"

Qin Yuan said: "Of course you follow me. If you think it's dangerous to take him with you, you should separate. I believe you can live well without me."

The fat man chuckled, and knocked Chuanzi out of his mind, "Momo is so small, who else will he follow if he doesn't follow us? Anyway, we can't be separated from the boss, don't you think so, Chuanzi?"

Chuanzi rubbed her head, "Of course, we will be where the boss is."

After the three agreed, Qin Yuan went back to call Chu Mo.

They came out quietly to bury people while Chu Mo was sleeping at night. It was just dawn at this time, and Chu Mo just woke up, and saw Qin Yuan entering the room covered in dew, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Facing Chu Mo's gaze, Qin Yuan's heart softened instantly, and he said with a smile: "Mo Mo is awake, brother is leaving, brother will pack your clothes for you, you and brother will go together."

Speaking unquestionable words in a deliberative tone, Qin Yuan never planned to give Chu Mo a chance to refuse from the very beginning.

Chu Mo looked straight at Qin Yuan, and nodded for a while.

Seeing Chu Mo nodding, Qin Yuan's tense body finally relaxed, and hurriedly turned around to pack his burden.

Chu Mo just sat on the head of the bed, resting his chin, quietly watching Qin Yuan go about his business. After a while, he seemed to remember something, got up and ran out quickly.

Qin Yuan, who was arranging his clothes, turned his head when he heard footsteps, only to see Chu Mo's figure disappearing under the eaves of the east corridor, and hurriedly chased after him, only to see him turn a corner and enter a half-moon door, walk to the west wall, dial Opening the rose vines on the wall, there was a small hole about one foot square under the vines. He reached in and took out a shiny golden object, which turned out to be a gold ingot.

After taking out a few more ingots, Chu Mo turned his head and smiled at Qin Yuan.

As if he didn't expect Chu Mo to turn his head, Qin Yuan looked a little strange, he was taken aback, and then smiled at Chu Mo.
