Chapter 523 Ghost
The little baby in the second room of the Lin family was given a nickname.
It’s called wheat.
The little baby is white and clean. Apart from sleeping all day long, he just looks around with his big round eyes.
If I see my family, I will always giggle or babbling and say hello.
"Our wheat seeds are so beautiful."
Mother Lin was very happy holding the little baby.
Aunt Guihua looked on with envy in her eyes.
"This little boy is so good-looking and has a good temper. He doesn't cry on weekdays."
"Yes, my second child was very spoiled and troubled when he was young. When he was young, I couldn't even sleep at night. We, the little ones, still care about others and never cry or make trouble."
Mother Lin was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about Lin Ercheng's naughty things when she was a child.
Seeing his grandma's happy face, Xiaomaizi blinked twice and suddenly started giggling with joy.
The little baby's giggle is so pure that it is the most beautiful thing to hear in the ears of adults.
"Little Maizi smiled, Little Maizi smiled, it's so beautiful."
Aunt Guihua looked happy, not to mention how novel the two old sisters were.
"Brother and sister, are you feeling better?"
Chen Qiulan wiped Sun Cui's body.
Fortunately, the weather is warm now, otherwise I don’t know how I would have passed the confinement period.
"Much better, thank you, sister-in-law."
Sun Cui's face was rosy and she did not become weak after giving birth to a child.
Also thanks to the carefulness of the Lin family.
She always comes first when it comes to eating at home.
Brown sugar, eggs and fish soup are served every day, and the next day there are tender bean sprouts from a small stove. Even now everyone relies on eating porridge and eating whole grain steamed buns, she still has thick new rice porridge to drink.
Her health is good, and she recovered quickly after giving birth. Now that she has been in confinement for half a month, she already feels like she can go to the fields and help with work.
But her family didn't allow it, and she had to sit there for a month before she could leave the house.
"Maizi is really the most well-behaved child I have ever seen."
Chen Qiulan sighed while wiping Sun Cui's back.
Her son was not a calm person when he was a child, and after so many years, she felt a little reluctant to have a second child, because she had some roots of fear in her heart.
In the past, although the Lin family was not very poor, it was not very rich either. Her mother-in-law regarded her as her own daughter, and she was very careful about food and drink. However, my own Doudou was like a jerk when she was a child. She cried or screamed every day. She was fine during the day, but she was fine at night. I have to wake up six or seven times at night, and I can't get a good night's sleep at all.
My man has to work in the fields during the day, and I can't bear to let him take care of the children at night.
Life is getting better now, but now the situation is grim. I want to have a second child but I am afraid that something will happen again.
After two days of observation, Liu Jie found that the team rarely moved during the day. Only a few people were occasionally sent to wander around the city wall, while the others sat there like logs without moving at all.
"Brother Liu, it's getting dark, why don't we go back today?"
One person looked at the gradually darkening sky and asked in a low voice.
They had been guarding these people during the day for the past two days, and retreated to the city when it was getting dark.
It's going to be dark soon today, why don't you show any signs of leaving?
"hold on."
Watching the sun set in the west and the moon gradually rising, Liu Jie's face became increasingly difficult to look at.
If he saw it correctly, he just saw someone in the crowd starting to move.
It is impossible for a person to remain motionless for twelve hours a day, but they observed no movement for two consecutive days. It was only after they left that the group started to move.
As expected, the sky turned completely dark two quarters of an hour later, and the crowd that had been gathered together suddenly dispersed and began to move around.
Visibility was reduced at night, and Liu Jie and the others could only lean on the bonfires to carefully observe their movements.
"Brother Liu, a mouse is coming..."
After what happened last time, the group of rats once again appeared at night and hid secretly during the day.
Now they are all hiding on the mound. If they are bitten by mice, they may be in trouble.
"Sprinkle the powder on it, cover it, and don't make any noise."
Liu Jie handed over a gourd and took the lead in covering his face.
This is Jihetang’s new medicinal powder.
It has better effect on repelling mice.
The mountains and forests were quiet, with only the rustle of mice crawling on the ground.
As the rats crawled in from all directions, the gray-faced "people" looked like wolves who had seen their prey, with a more ferocious look on their faces.
The mice seemed to be attracted by something and were not afraid of the fire. They just gathered towards the group of people one after another.
Hearing the squeaking of mice next to his ears, Liu Jie felt goosebumps all over his body.
There is something eccentric about these people.
Seeing one of them reaching out to catch a mouse and then simply breaking its neck, Liu Jie's pupils shrank sharply and he had more guesses in his mind.
As if to confirm his idea, the man's face curved into a terrifying arc, and then he stuffed the huge rat in his hand, covered in oil and a disgusting stench, into his mouth.
Because the rat was a bit too big, the man could only hold the upper half of the rat in his mouth and chew it, while its rear half hung hanging from his mouth, swaying as he chewed.
They all saw this scene, and they only felt nauseated and nauseated and physically uncomfortable.
Except for that one person, everyone else seemed to have seen some delicious food, and they all moved their hands towards the mouse under them.
For a moment, the sound of teeth chewing flesh was all around.
Even if Liu Jie had been on the battlefield, he still couldn't admit it when faced with such a scene.
During the toughest times in the city, there were also homeless people who wanted to feed themselves on those rats.
But even then, they still have to be peeled and roasted before eating.
What do these mice look like? Do they still know?
But that group of people just stuffed it into their mouths...
Liu Jie felt a little nauseous, but before he could react, he saw someone coming towards them.
"What's happening, get out quickly——"
Liu Jie quickly gave the order, and everyone retreated back.
It's dark and the roads are slippery, so someone will accidentally reveal their whereabouts.
"quick!"
Liu Jie was a little anxious, so he could only let his men withdraw first, leaving the rear behind.
The oncoming person is not simple either.
The man's face was gray, and his cloudy eyes were staring in Liu Jie's direction.
He noticed something was wrong just now when rats appeared from all directions.
Because those mice seemed to be deliberately avoiding that area.
"You can't run away-"
The insidious voice sounded, Liu Jie's pupils shrank sharply, and he tried his best to avoid the oncoming blade.
The man's movements were very fast, and he looked like a ghost, making people dodge without haste.
After only five moves, Liu Jie's body was already stained with blood.
"Stay--"
The man faced him, and a terrifying face magnified in front of his eyes. Liu Jie could even clearly see the black blood vessels beating under his skin.
