Good, this can't be eaten

"Do you have a net at home? Lend it to me tonight." Xie Chi made a guess: "A fishing net is fine, the size doesn't matter."

The little sister had a bad premonition in her heart, but she still nodded: "Yes..."

Like that kind of small net, many people have it, especially in the place near the water. My sister’s house used to have a lotus pond, which was used to grow lotus root. Later, my father had an accident and sold the lotus pond.

But there are still a lot of things like fishing nets at home, but because no one has used them for a long time, they have been hanging there for a long time, and I don’t know if they are still strong or not.

After dinner, Xie Chi took one out of the fishing net, felt that the size and other aspects were suitable, and weighed it in his hand: "Don't go there at night, I will go by myself."

"Then how can I do it..." The young lady seemed to remember how a little dumpling easily jumped from one side of the river to the other and then back again, and how Xie Chi kicked a suspected dumpling into the air with one kick. It is not a human creature, and suddenly I can't say what I am worried about.

If you follow the past, you will be lagging behind...

"It doesn't matter if you want to follow. Remember to bring a flashlight and stand a little farther away." Xie Chi waved his hand: "Let's settle it early and come back early, so your mother won't worry."

"Hey?" The little sister hurried to get the flashlight, and asked while flipping the flashlight: "Will I really not hinder you if I follow? If it doesn't work, I'd better not go, if you want to distract me to protect me ,Why bother……"

"Don't worry about this aspect. I'm just worried that you're afraid. Everything else is fine." If she and Tuanzi can't protect a young lady, then they are really joking.

"That... that's fine." The young lady was still a little embarrassed, she always felt that she was lagging behind, but she was worried at home and wanted to follow her to have a look.

So at night, the young lady took the flashlight, and Xie Chi carried the fishing net and the dumpling, and went to the river.

Not to mention night, no one dared to go to the river during the day, the whole river was very quiet, at a glance, except for the grass, it was the sparkling river under the moonlight, the quietness was a bit scary.

Xie Chi and the others arrived at the river, the young lady was a little nervous, she took a flashlight and shone it into the water vigorously, it was impossible to see it during the day, but at night, when the flashlight swept it, it always felt like there were one after another in the water Dark shadows shuttled.

In fact, this river is not very deep, but at night, I always feel that no matter how I take pictures, I can’t see the bottom. Xie Chi and Tuanzi squatted beside to study the fishing nets. Xie Chi has never used this thing, only saw others use it on TV. , it seems that one stroke will do.

"Is that so?"

Tuanzi: "Yeah!"

Xie Chi grabbed the fishing net and threw it, and sank to the bottom.

Young lady: ...

"You have to unfold it first, and try to cover it as large as possible, so that it is easy to catch fish."

"Is that so?" Xie Chi suddenly realized, then pulled up the fishing net and threw it again. After throwing the net, the dumpling jumped into the water, which shocked the young lady.

The moment she entered the water, it turned into a cloud of black air, which dissipated instantly and completely merged into the river.

Xie Chi didn't have to worry about her poor net casting skills, because Tuanzi would help her drive everything in.

Xie Chi waited for a while, then pulled the net up, it was heavy, and dragged it ashore to have a look, after netting a whole net, the young lady's bare hands were trembling slightly, because there was not a single fish in the net , all of which are strange things.

On the surface, they were babies, white and tender, with a huge head, and looked like little tadpoles.

But whose baby has only black eyeballs and no white eyeballs?Whose baby has a mouth full of sharp teeth like sharks?Whose baby's voice is so shrill that it even makes people feel a little shrill?

The little sister saw dozens of strange creatures that looked like babies, and they kept struggling inside, and her whole body was trembling all the time. No wonder she was timid. Ordinary people, who can see this situation and remain indifferent?

Xie Chi poured out all the babies in a net, and they immediately wanted to scatter and flee, and some wanted to come up to attack Xie Chi, but Xie Chi calmed down, pulled out the Demon Slaying Sword with his backhand, and drew a circle on the ground, Then insert the Demon Slaying Sword there.

"I know you can understand. Come to the circle now. Whoever gets out of the circle, I will assume that it wants to run away. It depends on your luck to cut it into pieces."

The Devil Slaying Sword has really killed countless evil spirits, and the aura on it is enough to make ordinary little ghosts' legs weak on the spot. They had already scattered and fled, but the babies who crawled out a short distance suddenly seemed to be rewinding, and slowly crawled back.

They are good-looking, obediently burrowing into the circle, with their big heads squeezed together, staring at Xie Chi in unison. Every creature that looks like a baby has a pair of big eyes. They use their big eyes. The eyes stared at Xie Chi, they were all big black eyes, the kind that wouldn't reflect the light of the flashlight, not to mention how scary.

Standing behind Xie Chi, the young lady got goosebumps when she saw such a scene.

There were two that ran very fast and didn't look back after listening to the words. They were slapped back into the circle by the tentacles that appeared out of nowhere, including one that rushed towards Xie Chi.

The one that rushed towards Xie Chi was the worst, and was slapped in front of the Demon Slayer Sword by a tentacle, and hit the blade one centimeter behind, the whole ghost was so stiff that it didn't dare to move.

After confirming that they didn't dare to run away, Xie Chi continued to lower the net. It took nearly half an hour to salvage the entire river. The dumpling gestured to confirm that there were no water ghosts under the water before coming out of the water. .

"Line up in line according to the time of death, I want to count." Xie Chi held the Demon Slaying Sword, those brats of course didn't dare to do anything, and started to line up honestly, I don't know if it was the heads that died early. Relatively large, anyway, it looks like a line in order of head size.

After they lined up, Xie Chi started counting from the beginning to the end.

“1、2、3……169、170、171……”谢迟数完之后都有点愣了：“怎么这么多？”

The young lady said that the time around her birth was the most serious, and she has rarely done this in the past two years. Hundreds of people, why are there 20 babies thrown into this river?

"Probably because... the birth rate of female babies in our village is relatively high." The young lady said awkwardly: "It may be retribution. The more I want to have a boy, the more I find out is a girl, just like my family. There are 6 or 7 children separated by my sister, all of whom are girls."

"This situation is particularly serious in our village. In normal families, there are usually three or four girls before there is a boy, plus the one like my family..."

171 may seem like a lot, but it is actually possible.

Xie Chi didn't know what to say for a while.

In a village with a population of no more than 600, 20 girls were thrown into a river in about 171 years!

This is just a village, isn't there a similar custom in other places?

She lowered her head, 171 pairs of swarthy eyes stared at her, there was no emotion in their eyes, because all the babies were thrown into the river when they were just born, and their thinking was not as mature as adults So complicated, but also full of resentment.

It was the kind of simple, direct and pure resentment.

"I said those people in your village deserved it, aren't you angry?" Xie Chi said suddenly.

"Of course I'm not angry..." The young lady scratched her head: "I'm also a girl, so of course I can feel the same way."

"Abandoning a baby girl is only a crime of abandonment, but I don't think those people in your village constitute a crime of abandonment, they are murder."

"This is intentional murder." Xie Chi knelt down and lightly touched the big-headed ghost baby closest to her. It had a big head, looked very deformed, and was cold.

171 lives.

It's really too heavy to bear.

Many people have a kind of thinking, conforming to the crowd is not guilty.

Xie Chi can probably guess the psychology of those people. They probably think that the child was born by us and belongs to us. Of course we have the right to dispose of it.

And everyone is doing that, can they really punish everyone?

But the moment a child is born, it is an independent life, and no one is qualified to make decisions for them, including parents.

"Then what should we do next?" The young lady looked a little at a loss: "Should we call the police?"

"This is for sure." Xie Chi was a little worried: "I don't really want to involve you, but..."

But everyone knows that the two of them are friends, who knows if those people will pour their anger on the young lady afterwards?

People like them are best at bullying the weak.

If they were really arrested because of this incident, there would be no way to retaliate against the police or Xie Chi, but the little sister and her mother living in this village were more dangerous.

"I was planning to take my mother to live in a big city when I came home this time. At first, my mother was unwilling. She still wanted to live in her hometown. She felt that she would not be used to it in a big city, but this incident happened. Son, she is definitely willing to go with me." The young lady said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm sure I won't suffer."

"That's good." Xie Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Then let's go back first. I'll contact the police in a while. There are more than 170 children here. Tomorrow we have to confirm bit by bit. Who are their parents? Who, whoever committed the evil, don't even try to escape!"

Tuanzi nodded violently beside her, and she stretched out her hand to hold her round face, her eyes filled with 'Why is Ah Chi so handsome! '

This is probably the beauty in the eye of the beholder...

Xie Chi and the others walked towards the village, followed by a long line of babies, they lined up consciously, and crawled towards the village following Xie Chi, while Tuanzi held his little hands and 'supervised the army' beside him. .

Those who wanted to leave the team or sneaked away were forcibly brought back by her tentacles.

It is almost 10 o'clock in the evening. Although this point is a bit late, many people are still awake. There are even a few middle-aged men who set up a table in front of the small supermarket in the center of the village to play cards.

There were only three people sitting at the poker table, because they were playing Doudizhu, but there was a circle of people around them, watching.

"Hey, hello, are you called the landlord? Why don't you talk?" When the person at the table looked up, he saw the person opposite him looking behind him, his eyes wide open, and he looked very surprised.

"You...behind you..."

"What's going on behind me?" When he turned his head, several people onlookers also looked back, and then they were dumbfounded.

It was a long row with no end in sight, and each one held its head up, staring closely at Xie Chi's back so as not to go astray, so under the moonlight, their fangs gleamed.

The least courageous one screamed and got under the card table at that time, and the others panicked.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What is that?"

There was chaos.

It's no wonder they acted so cowardly, it's really because of guilty conscience, several people died in the village, and most of them had the experience of abandoning babies, it's no wonder they didn't panic when they saw this scene.

Xie Chi ignored the group of people and continued walking forward with a bunch of ghost babies. Some ghost babies turned their heads when they passed by and stared at the group of men silently.

There is no emotion in their big dark eyes, but the gap in the mouth is wider.

One of the middle-aged men suddenly sat down on the ground, pointed at one of the ghost babies, trembling: "That... that is... that is..."

He could see clearly that the big-headed ghost baby grinning at him had a round birthmark on its arm, and his second daughter also had it on her neck.

The reason why he remembered it so clearly was because as soon as the little child was born, they took off the swaddling clothes to confirm the gender. After confirming that it was a girl, he personally covered the daughter's mouth and nose with the swaddling cloth.

How vulnerable are babies?After covering for 1 minute, that little body no longer moved.

He still remembered that when he was covering his daughter's face, the daughter's immature little hand stretched out from the swaddle with difficulty, as if she was struggling for the last time, she waved it lightly, and finally landed on his arm .

That birthmark was imprinted on his eyes.

And that child was also thrown into the river by himself.

At this moment, the daughter who was thrown into the river many years ago was holding her big head up and smiling silently at him.

He sat on the ground, shaking as if he had been electrocuted. After a long, long time, he screamed, got up and ran towards his home without daring to turn his head.

There are several other men like him. They may not have recognized their abandoned daughter, but the children recognized them.

They fled in embarrassment, not daring to take another look.
