There were two or three neighbors surrounding her, all rural women from the countryside. They looked at her with no sympathy at all, even with indifference and contempt.
"What a shame, you gave birth to two daughters to the old Zhang family at once. How unlucky!"
"It's hard to find a daughter-in-law from the old Zhang family. Didn't she have a perfect match when she got married?"
"It fits! It's a perfect match."
"Hey, it's not like my wife, who got pregnant within two months after entering the house, and gave birth to a big fat baby in the next year."
"Hey! Who can compare to your daughter-in-law? She has such a strong belly. She has three babies in four years, and each of them is a son. Who in the village wouldn't envy her!"
"No!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Josh and the others listened for a while, then turned to catch up with the man who was leaving not far away with the baby in his arms.
The man went all the way up the mountain, and at the fork in the road he met an old lady who was also carrying a girl up the mountain.
The old lady glanced at him: "Old Zhang, are you going up the mountain too?"
Lao Zhang nodded: "Yes, twin girls, what can we do?"
Hearing this, the old lady had a worried expression on her face: "Hey, so is your wife. She has given birth to four babies. Why are they all female babies? No one has come to see them?"
Lao Zhang: "Oh, don't mention it..."
He glanced at the three or four-year-old child in the old lady's arms and raised his chin: "You're here to carry him?"
The old lady nodded: "Yes, her parents just went out to work yesterday, and they have already boarded the train."
Lao Zhang nodded: "You are still young and can still regenerate."
Old lady: "That's what I said."
The two of them walked all the way up the mountain.
There is a tower built on the mountain with seven floors.
After Lao Zhang and the old lady went up for a while, they came down together, with a light look on their faces.
Josh frowned slightly.
Yuze glanced in the direction of the top of the mountain and fell silent.
Several people knew what happened, but they didn't say anything.
One after another, people carried the baby girl up the mountain and came back down again with brisk expressions.
When it got dark, there was a fire on the mountain.
Black smoke billowed.
Some unknown stench wafted out along with the black smoke.
There were also faint sounds of crying and screaming.
At the foot of the mountain, every household closed their doors. Soon after dark, the roads in the entire village were completely empty, and no one could be seen walking around.
As the scene turned, several people saw the little girl in a red dress crawling out of the ruins.
It seems to be already inside the building.
There was a child who looked exactly like her beside her. They held hands and opened the door and walked out.
The moonlight shone on them, making their bodies become more solid.
Josh knew that this was caused by the strong Yin Qi caused by the new ghost absorbing the essence of the moon.
The two children came down from the mountain holding hands and went straight to their home.
Not surprisingly, the two children went to take revenge on their families.
They saw a child creeping into the house through the window, and a whole family running out of the house crawling.
I saw dark clouds covering the sun on the top of the mountain, and a steady stream of baby spirits poured down from the mountain and entered the villagers' homes one by one.
"Mom, I am your daughter. Don't you recognize me?"
"Mom, it hurts so much. The fire makes me so uncomfortable."
"Mom, don't be afraid of me. Can you give me a hug? I miss you so much."
"Grandma, didn't you say I was your darling? Why did you throw me away?"
"Grandpa, why don't you like me? Isn't Xiaohua not well-behaved enough?"
"Obviously I'm so obedient and don't cry or make trouble, why would you rather like my brother who cries all day long and is sick instead of me?"
"why……"
"I want a family..."
"I want to go home..."
"Don't abandon me, okay?"
Voices of resentment rose one after another, accompanied by the villagers' screams.
The scene changed and it was daytime again, and a group of people entered the village in a mighty manner.
The villagers respectfully invited people to the mountain.
This group of people all held tools in their hands and wore decent Taoist robes. They seemed to be invited by these villagers.
Sure enough, rituals were held on the top of the mountain.
The Taoist priests asked people to open all the toys in the box.
Almost every box contains dolls, all kinds of cute and lifelike rag dolls, the smallest ones are about tens of centimeters tall.
Some dolls are sewn by hand, and the fabrics on some dolls are so familiar that it can be seen that they were made by the villagers themselves.
The leading Taoist priest looked at the seven-story tower: "These are toys prepared for you by your mother. Come and get them."
The baby spirits in the tower cautiously poked their heads out, and their eyes lit up when they saw the big dolls in the box.
Some dolls couldn't help but step out of the gate of the tower, walked over to get their own dolls, then turned around and ran back to the Taoist tower, seeming to be very afraid of these Taoist priests.
When someone takes the initiative, others are naturally ready to take action.
After a while, the baby spirits in the tower happily took their dolls back. This was the first toy in their lives, and it was made by their own mother, so they naturally liked it.
The Taoist priest looked at the infant spirits in the tower calmly, and suddenly began to draw a spell to seal the tower.
He also summoned four ghost generals to suppress them at the top of the tower and manage the infant spirits inside.
The dolls held in the arms of the infant spirits suddenly moved, their eyes flashing red.
Within a moment, all the infant spirits were absorbed into the body of the doll and completely sealed.
A flash of understanding flashed in Josh's eyes, so these dolls are not really moving, but they have undead souls sealed in their bodies.
She wanted to dig deeper for clues about the tower, but she didn't find anything useful.
The kid in the red dress stayed on the first floor. After they came in, she followed them all the way to the fifth floor.
She may not necessarily know as much as they do about things on different floors.
Josh withdrew from the dream and looked at a few people: "What should I say?"
Rob's face was not very good. He had not recovered from the shock just now: "These people are so inhuman! They actually treat these little girls like this!"
The expressions of several other people were not much better either.
Yuze said: "Something is wrong. If we just suppress these infant spirits, there is no need to go to war in such a big way. Moreover, the monsters on the roof are too powerful."
Josh nodded in agreement and looked at them: "And it's weird, isn't it? Since it's just to seal people inside, why are they divided into different floors?"
"Perhaps I can answer your questions." A young man's voice suddenly sounded next to him.
Several people looked over, and at some point, the boy in red appeared next to the bed.
"Sister!" The little girl in the red skirt jumped up in surprise, flew over and threw herself into his arms.
The boy hugged the little girl and patted her head. (End of chapter)
