"You bad guy."
Chen Lingjiao groaned, then glanced at me shyly, then immediately lowered her head and buried her entire face in my neck.
This girl is already an old married woman, but she is still so easily shy.
I hugged her and snuggled into the bed together, then I kissed her soft lips.
Chen Lingtong suddenly let out a cry, and his whole body became completely limp.
...
There was another ups and downs, and then Chen Ling and I both fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already night.
I got up and washed up, then went over to knock on the door and wake up Lin Ze and Wang Xiaozhe.
After all, there are things to do tonight.
We went downstairs to find a small restaurant, had something to eat, and then came to the pier on the edge of the Yellow River to continue the ritual of transferring the souls of the dead.
It took us three nights to completely free those souls who died in vain in the Yellow River.
During this period, I also went to the village to find out if anyone had fished a baby out of the Yellow River recently.
But the villagers said that there was no such thing. It had happened before, but that was decades ago.
However, some people say that in Lijiatuo, twenty miles away from the lower reaches of the Yellow River, a corpse fisher seemed to have fished out a baby from the Yellow River a few days ago.
But he also heard the news from others, so he didn't know much about it.
I thought about it, if Li Yin Yang was reincarnated and something happened to him, it would be possible for Li Jiatuo to be washed downstream along the Yellow River.
But during this twenty-mile journey, a baby was washed all the way down by the river. Can he still survive?
Although I knew the possibility was slim, I still took Chen Ling to Lijiatuo.
As for Lin Ze and Wang Xiaozhe, they separated from us here.
When Chen Ling and I rushed to Lijiatuo, we happened to encounter a family in the village having a funeral. The funeral procession carried the coffin and scattered paper money all the way out of the village, and there were two coffins together.
Judging from this situation, it was obvious that two people died at the same time.
After asking an old man who was sunbathing at the entrance of the village, I found out that it turned out that the two people who died were a couple, and they died on the same night.
It is said that both the couple committed suicide by hanging, leaving only a one-month-old child at home. The body was only discovered the next day when the villagers went to borrow something from his house. Even the funeral was done with the help of the villagers. Done.
"Then the child left behind in their family is his own biological child?"
When I heard this, I quickly asked the old man.
"That kid is a disaster."
As he spoke, the old man filled a pot of dry cigarettes, lit it up and took a few puffs. "A few days ago, Li Laoyao, the corpse collector in the village, discovered him when he was collecting corpses from the Yellow River, so he took him to the Yellow River. We fished it out, but to our surprise, the child was still alive."
At this point, the old man shook his head and sighed again, and then continued: "Originally, the youngest Li has no wife and no children. I want to raise this child up and provide for myself until the end of my life. Who knows if it will happen?" Two days ago, the youngest Li fell into the Yellow River and drowned while retrieving corpses. People like them, who have been retrieving corpses from the Yellow River all year round, are definitely not as good at water as ordinary people. It was obviously wrong to be drowned. At that time, I They said there was something wrong with the child, but others still didn't believe it. Xiaowu and his wife adopted the child again, but within a few days, the couple all hanged themselves. It would be strange if this child is not a disaster star. "
"Then...where is the child now?"
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly became anxious.
As for what the old man said about the child being a disaster, I automatically ignored it.
I just think that the child is probably the reincarnation of Li Yinyang.
"You keep asking about that child. Could it be that you two are the biological parents of that child?"
The old man held up the cigarette butt and looked at Chen Ling and me with some surprise.
"That's not true, it's just this kid. We probably just met him."
I didn't lie to the old man. After all, the child was indeed not mine and Chen Ling's.
"You mean you know the child's parents?"
When the old man heard this, he looked at me and became a little wary.
After all, it would be difficult for an ordinary person like him to imagine the idea of reincarnation, so naturally he couldn't believe it when I told him that I knew the child.
"Yes, we know that child's parents."
I could only tell a lie, lest the old man would think of us as human traffickers and call the villagers to attack us later.
"Young people really don't know how to lie."
The old man glanced at me with a dark face and said: "But I can tell you that that child is definitely a disaster. No one in the village dares to adopt him now. If you want to adopt a child, just follow this road. As we walked forward, we saw a family holding a funeral, and the child is still at Xiao Wu's house."
"Um...thank you, sir."
I quickly and awkwardly thanked the old man, and then walked towards the village with Chen Ling.
This village is not big, only about a hundred households. Most of the people in the village are fishermen, making a living by fishing, and their lives are relatively poor.
At a glance, the entire village is full of adobe houses, not even a red brick house can be seen.
After walking for a while, we came to the house where the funeral was held.
This gate is also a very simple fence gate with white couplets pasted on it. There are many villagers who come to help with the funeral and are busy in the yard.
I walked in with Chen Ling, looked around, and found a shed set up on the west side of the yard with a large stove inside, and several rural women were cooking.
Tables, chairs and benches were also set up in the yard, and it looked like they were waiting for the funeral procession to come back.
The rural customs in the northwest are basically the same. No matter whose family dies, a banquet will be held to entertain those who come to help on the day of the funeral.
Although there is no one in this family anymore, after the funeral, a banquet will definitely be indispensable, and the people in the village will organize it themselves.
"Are you here for a funeral? Are you a relative of Xiao Wu's family or..."
While I was looking around in the yard, an aunt suddenly came up and asked Chen Ling and me.
"Ang, we are not relatives of their family. We just heard that the youngest Li fished a child out of the Yellow River and was adopted by the couple, so we came to take a look."
I said somewhat unspeakably.
I really don’t know how to explain this.
"Are you the child's parents?"
When the aunt heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.
