There was a moment of silence in that place, with only the faint howling of animals being heard.

Shen Lishu withdrew his gaze and looked down at his feet, and goose bumps instantly appeared all over his body.

bone!

A dense mass of bones!

Where they landed was a ravine more than one meter deep.

The ravine is now filled with densely packed small bones, some new and some old.

The three of them were standing on this piece of bone, and there was a crunching sound under their feet.

In just a moment, Shen Lishu and the other two turned pale.

If she was not mistaken, these bones were all human bones, and very small ones at that.

All three of them had killed people, but they had never seen so many children's bones!

There are so many crowded places that it is hard to count them. You can imagine how many children died in this place. No wonder it feels so eerie and filled with resentment.

"Master, let's go up quickly. This place is too weird."

"Hmm." Shen Lishu's voice trembled slightly, and he turned around and bowed to Bai Gu.

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally ended up here and disturbed you. We'll leave now."

After saying that, he stood up, took a deep breath, and jumped out of the ditch on his toes.

Stand on the edge and look down.

"If... I'm not mistaken, this should be the baby ditch."

Xiaoman leaned on Lin Chen with a pale face, and his newly reattached arm was hanging in front of his chest, unable to move at the moment.

Shen Lishu was shocked, "What is a baby cleavage?" His whole scalp was tingling.

"The fate of those girls who were abandoned as soon as they were born." Xiaoman said weakly.

I heard that she was almost sent to the Baby Ditch to fend for herself.

Such places can be found in every village or town.

It is really not easy for a girl to survive and grow up in this world.

Suddenly, a very faint baby cry was heard. That was where the black shadow disappeared just now!

Shen Lishu didn't bother to say anything and ran over to check.

really!

Going down this ditch and turning a corner, a naked baby was lying on top of a pile of bones in the narrow ditch.

The baby had a long umbilical cord trailing from his body, but there was no sign of a placenta.

He lay there with bruises all over his body, motionless, and his crying became weaker and weaker.

Two wild dogs came over when they heard the noise. They were fat and strong, and their green eyes and familiar expressions told her that they were regular customers!

The baby is about to be buried in the dog's belly

Shen Lishu no longer cared about being afraid of the dog, and immediately swung the whip to bring the child to his side.

It turned out to be a girl, wrinkled and bruised, so ugly!

She found a piece of cotton cloth in the space, wrapped the child, and fed him a drop of spiritual spring water.

The baby smacked his lips and finally stopped crying, but his face was still blue and purple.

Only then did Shen Lishu look at the two wild dogs that were baring their teeth at him because their food had been stolen.

"Beasts!"

Shen Lishu said nothing and whipped them both to death.

Returning to the original place, he handed the child to Xiaoman and Lin Chen:

"Look at her, she looks like she's about to die."

The three of them looked at each other, all with confused expressions.

They have never raised a child, so what do they understand?

In the end, the weak Xiaoman took it, opened the swaddle and took a look.

"It looks a bit like the bruises are caused by being held in the womb for too long, or maybe it's because it got cold in the wild?"

"It's possible that she was naked and freezing in the night for such a long time and this happened." Lin Chen frowned and thought.

[Umbilical cord! Umbilical cord! Cut the umbilical cord first! ]

Tian Dao was so angry that he pounded the ground and shouted, "Three fools!"

[Then feed her some food and check her body. Where is your spiritual power and repair chamber? No matter what the problem is, it will be solved. ]

Shen Lishu touched his nose and thought that this seemed to make sense.

With Tiandao's guidance, Shen Lishu became a little bolder and immediately took out scissors and gauze from the space.

Holding up the gleaming pair of scissors, Shen Lishu bared his teeth, "Maybe we should cut the umbilical cord first..."

Xiaoman: ...No problem

The next step is... disinfection, and then with a click of the scissors, the baby's umbilical cord is cut off.

Then wrap it with gauze.

"The next step... is food..."

Um... this

Babies this young drink milk.

Shen Lishu looked at herself. The mountains were piled up and towered into the clouds, but she had no milk!

Look at Xiaoman again, she is just the right size, plump and full, but she is a virgin, where does she get the milk from?

Shen Lishu's eyes turned to Lin Chen

Lin Chen felt uneasy when she looked at him, and immediately waved his hand and said, "There's no need for me to look at it!"

Yes, Shen Lishu retracted his gaze. In that case, he would just skip it and move on to the next item.

Three people squatted beside the baby ditch and laid a thick felt, and then a fluffy blanket.

I put the child on the blanket and checked him over and over again, and finally came to a conclusion.

There were no obvious wounds on the child's body except for the abnormal color, but his breath was very weak.

Tian Dao was so angry that he rolled his eyes and pinched his philtrum on the ground.

[This is how a baby is when he is just a few hours old! ...]

Fools! Three fools!

Lin Chen was a man, and it was inconvenient for him to look at a baby girl, so he turned his back to them.

Seeing that there was some movement in the surrounding villages at the foot of the mountain, he said:

"Master, why don't you go to the village at the foot of the mountain to recuperate? It's a good opportunity to find a wet nurse for the child."

"Okay, I thought so too." Shen Lishu quickly wrapped the child back in his arms.

I've already picked the child up, there's no way I can send him back, and I have no intention of finding his biological parents.

The mountain is not big or high, and there are several villages at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Lishu picked the nearest one.

……

As the cocks crow at dawn and the sky just gets light, the hardworking farmers have already gotten up to work.

Men often get up and go to the fields with sickles.

The rice in the field is ripe, and I can only feel at ease if I harvest it while the weather is good.

The women would busily start cleaning the house and preparing breakfast. Soon smoke would rise up, outlining a vivid picture.

In the misty fog, Shen Lishu supported Man and Lin Chen held the baby.

Three people appeared under an old tree in the small village, covered in dew.

After hearing the sound, two big dogs immediately ran over, letting out low growls.

Their eyes are full of ferocity and vigilance, as if they are ready to attack anyone who threatens their territory.

Saliva kept dripping from their open mouths, forming disgusting trails.

The moment Lin Chen saw the two dogs, his heart skipped a beat.

"Oops!"

Lin Chen turned his head quickly and saw Shen Lishu screaming and quickly jumping up the old tree at the entrance of the village.

Well...she didn't forget Xiaoman when she ran away. Shen Lishu threw the girl onto a tree branch and made her sit there.

Lin Chen...

He knew that his master had to break through the defense

Still breaking the defense!

The two big dogs stopped a few steps away from them and continued to growl.

Lin Chen tried to soothe them with a gentle voice: "Stop barking, we have no ill intentions."

However, the big dog didn't buy it and barked even louder.

[Wang! Where did this thief come from? Everyone in this area knows my reputation as Sang Biao!

Why don't you tell me your name quickly! I will spare your life! 】

Shen Lishu's voice trembled, and he held the whip with one hand, ready to move.

"Why do I always feel like it's scolding me, and it's so dirty."

Lin Chen rubbed his brows and spoke up for the dogs, "No, they are welcoming you."

Lin·Open your eyes and tell lies·Chen

Just then, an old farmer came from the field carrying a sickle.

Seeing this scene, he shouted loudly: "Da Biao, Er Biao, stop shouting!"

The sad dog turned into a big dog, and the dog had no complaints at all.

It immediately quieted down, wagging its tail and running to the old farmer with a proud look on its face.

Look! I caught the thief!

The old farmer looked at Shen Lishu and the other two and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why did you come to our village so early in the morning?"

"And these two girls...in the tree?" The old man was a little hesitant to confirm.

The two of them were dressed as girls, but they had a child with them.

Lin Chen, the only one under the tree, quickly explained:

"Uncle, we were passing by to visit relatives and found a child in the mountains, but we have no milk..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old farmer's face immediately became alert. He knew exactly which daughter-in-law gave birth last night.

Are they planning to send the child back?

The person has already lost his child, how could he still want a girl!

Seeing that his expression was not right, Lin Chen quickly said, "To be honest, uncle, my family is well off, but my brother has been married for many years and still can't have children.

So we want to adopt this baby, but we really can't feed her right now.

I want to ask if anyone has a sheep or cow that is producing milk, we will pay for it!"

The vigilance in the old man's eyes suddenly dissipated a lot, but he was still a little hesitant.

Lin Chen quickly took out a dime and handed it to the old man, "I won't let you work in vain, take this money."

The old man took the silver, looked at the baby in Lin Chen's arms, and sighed:

"Alas, it's a poor child. Come with me."

The only family in our village that has a cow is the village chief, and that cow is producing milk."

"Thank you very much!" Lin Chen suddenly remembered that his master was still hanging on the tree.

I hurriedly said, "Could you please take those two dogs away? My two...sisters are afraid of dogs."

"That's easy!" For the sake of the silver, the old man was easy to talk to. He kicked the dog and said, "Go home!"

Only then did Shen Lishu bring Xiaoman down, feeling that his master's dignity had been affected.

She touched her nose, put her hands behind her back, and took a firm stance, "Hey! I'm not afraid of it, I'm just giving them face."

Lin Chen smiled gently and nodded vigorously, "Master is right."

The old man led them into the village and walked all the way to the center.

This family's house is obviously bigger than those of other villagers, and it is made of blue bricks and tiles.

Along the way, Shen Lishu discovered that the houses of other villagers were all thatched houses, which showed how poor this village was.

The old man stood outside the yard and yelled, "Zhao family, are you home? We have guests!"

After a while, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

I heard his voice before I saw him. "Who is it? Where did this distinguished guest come from?"

This is a pregnant woman with a big belly, wearing a gray coat full of patches. It seems that she will give birth soon.

"Oh, I guess you are at home!" said the old man, pointing at Shen Lishu and the other two.

"These three distinguished guests are passing by here and want to find some milk for their children. Don't you have a cow that is producing milk at home?"

The woman looked at the three people and saw that they all had extraordinary appearance and demeanor, so she was also very polite.

"Come in and have some water. My husband is out, so I need to discuss this matter with the head of the family."

The old man immediately waved his hand and said, "You guys go in, I won't go, I still have to go to the fields."

Shen Lishu followed the woman into the main room and sat down.

The woman first sent her child to the field to call for help, and then brought in three bowls of water.

"I think the farmers don't have tea, so you guys should just make do with what you have."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shen Lishu smiled gently

After taking a quick look, he asked, “To be honest, sister-in-law, my sister has been weak since she was young.

We would like to stay at your house for a few days. Is there any vacant room?

One room is enough, we are just here to rest.”

After saying that, Shen Lishu took out the silver and put it on the table.

The woman's eyes suddenly sparkled, she quickly grabbed the silver, and her smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Oh, of course there is a room. I'll let my kid sleep with us during this period! You can stay here with peace of mind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin man walked in barefoot, who looked to be in his forties.

He frowned slightly when he heard that, but didn't say anything when he saw the silver in his wife's hand.

"Master, you're back!" The woman hurried forward to get him water to wash his feet.

The three of them watched quietly until the man finished washing his feet and sat down.

“I have heard from the young man about your purpose, but the cow is the most valuable animal in my family, which is equivalent to a laborer. I cannot sell it to you.

But I can sell you milk, one copper coin per bowl."

When these words were spoken, not only was Shen Lishu so angry that he was fuming, even the woman was stunned.

This, this, this, the lion's mouth is too big...

Selling a bowl of milk for one copper coin is even worse than robbery!

Shen Lishu's whip was ready to move.

Fortunately, Lin Chen held it down and shook his head gently, telling him not to bother with this group of people.

"Have you never seen money?" Although Shen Lishu did not take action, it did not mean that she could swallow this anger.

The man didn't hear her words, completely ignored her, and just stared at Lin Chen.

"It's not a woman's place to interfere with a man's conversation. My calf needs to drink this milk, so it's good enough that it can be shared. One tael of silver is not much for a noble man."

This attitude clearly states that this is the price, take it or leave it.

Hey!

Shen Lishu stood up suddenly. How dare you look down on a woman?

This undoubtedly hit her sore spot.

Lin Chen quickly stuffed the child into her arms, "Master, calm down, calm down, the child is important."

Shen Lishu looked at the baby who was so hungry that he was about to cry, gritted his teeth and endured it!

Throw him a tael of silver and say, "Go and milk the cow!"

"Oh! Oh! I'll go right away!" The woman who had been silent all this time hurriedly took a bowl and went out.

Oh my god!

The boss is so awesome!

They earned so much money in such a short time, enough for them to live on for a year.

After a while, the woman brought a bowl of milk, and Lin Chen hurriedly took it and fed it to the child.

The little girl who had been hungry for a long time finally had her first mouthful of milk in her life.

"Master, please give her a name."

Shen Lishu... He pondered for a long time and said, "Let's call him Ruyi, just like my last name, Shen Ruyi."

Xiaoman murmured, "Everything goes well, the meaning is very good, this child is very lucky to meet the master."
