Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

At this moment, curiosity overcame fear.

Xiao Qi tiptoed to the door of the room on the east side and put his ear to it.

You can faintly hear the sounds of "crunching" and "crunching".

It's like the sound of mice stealing food.

Xiao Qi walked around to the window again, lifted it a crack, and squinted to look inside.

But the room was too dark and I couldn't see anything.

"Who's there?"

Suddenly a childish voice was heard in the house, and Xiao Qi was so scared that he turned around and ran away.

When Xiaoqi returned to the young master, his heart was still beating fast.

He really wanted to wake the young master up and tell him about this, but the young master was snoring in his sleep, and Xiao Qi couldn't bear to disturb his sweet dream.

That night, Xiaoqi slept very uneasily and had several dreams.

At the end of each dream, there was a child peeling off his skin in front of him, revealing his bloody body.

When having breakfast in the morning, except for Chen Lang, the other three people all had panda eyes.

Hong'er lay on the table and muttered, "Master Xu, after hearing your story, I had a nightmare all night. There was a child crying in the dream. The scene was so real that I couldn't sleep well at all."

Xu Mengru was stunned for a moment and said, "I also dreamed of a child crying."

Xiao Qi wanted to say something but stopped.

Chen Lang noticed Xiao Qi's expression and asked, "You didn't dream of a crying child, did you?"

Xiao Qi said: "Sir, it's not the child crying, but..."

Halfway through his words, Lu Ting came over with a bowl of rice, put it on the table, and said expressionlessly, "Eat."

Hong'er stuck out her tongue, and after Lu Ting turned around, she muttered softly, "So fierce."

Xu Mengru said, "Let's go after dinner."

After dinner, the group stood up to say goodbye.

When he reached the door, Chen Lang suddenly turned around.

There is nothing behind me.

Xu Mengru asked, "Did you forget to take something?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "Nothing, let's go."

After walking for a while, they met the security guard who came to pick them up with a carriage.

The head guard walked up to Hong'er and asked, "Miss Hong'er, did you encounter anything strange last night?"

Hong'er was stunned: "No, why do you ask?"

"Could it be that you..."

The head guard said, "A brother said he saw a ghost last night."

Hong'er suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.

After hearing this, Xu Mengru leaned out of the carriage and asked, "What's going on?"

The head guard called the brother who claimed to have seen a ghost.

"Miss, that's it."

"I got up at night to go to the toilet. When I passed by the owner's room, I heard a child's voice coming from inside."

"But when we moved in yesterday, the owner of the house said he didn't have any children.

Xu Mengru frowned and asked, "Maybe I heard it wrong?"

The guard said, "Miss, I am sure I heard it correctly."

Hong'er was so frightened that her teeth were chattering. She said, "I was wondering why I dreamed of a crying child all night. It turns out there really is a child in this village..."

Xu Mengru said: "Don't scare yourself."

At the same time, Xiaoqi was also telling Chen Lang that he heard a child's voice last night.

Chen Lang rubbed his temples and said, "When I left the village chief's house just now, I felt like someone was staring at me from behind, but when I turned around, there was nothing."

"Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Xiao Qi said, "Sir, this village is too weird. Let's leave quickly."

Just as Chen Lang was about to speak, he saw Xu Mengru getting off her carriage and walking straight towards him.

"Mr. Chen, I have something to tell you."

Chen Lang asked, "What?"

"My security guard said he heard a child crying last night."

Xiao Qi's face turned pale instantly. He said, "Even they heard it. There really is a ghost in this village..."

"Sir, let's run quickly. If we run too late, we will die."

Chen Lang said: "Don't scare yourself."

Xu Mengru blinked, this sounded so familiar.

Chen Lang asked, "Miss Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Mengru said: "I don't think it's a ghost, it's a human."

Chen Lang nodded: "We think the same way."

"These hidden children are most likely kidnapped, and that's why they refuse to let us see them."

Xu Mengru asked, "What should we do? Report to the police?"

Chen Lang said, "Let's find evidence first. If we can confirm that this village is a beggar village, we'll report it to the authorities when we pass by the next county."

Xu Mengru pondered and said, "How do I find evidence?"

Chen Lang said, "You and Miss Hong'er should leave the village first and find a safe place to hide."

"Just leave me a capable guard."

Xu Mengru was also a decisive person. She knew that if she and Hong'er stayed, it would not be of any use and would instead hinder Chen Lang, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Xu Mengru asked the head guard to stay and quickly left the village under the protection of the other guards.

Chen Lang took Xiao Qi and Liu Huyuan and returned to the village chief's house again.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a child's voice coming from inside the house.

Chen Lang winked at Guardian Liu, who stepped forward and pushed the door open.

The scene that caught his eyes made Liu Huyuan, a man who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but gasp.

Xiao Qi's head popped out from behind Guard Liu, and after glancing into the yard, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's a ghost!"

Lu Ting hadn't expected these people to come back. He quickly hid the child behind him and said in shock and anger, "Why... did you come back?"

Chen Lang stepped into the yard and said calmly, "Village Chief, don't block me. I saw everything."

Lu Ting's face flushed: "You saw a piece of shit, get out, get out now!"

Chen Lang said sternly, "Village Chief, I won't leave unless you explain the child's origins clearly."

"Also, don't even think about killing them. My friends have already left the village. If I don't meet them within an hour, they'll go to the county town and report to the authorities."

"I'm a... scholar! Killing a scholar means exterminating your entire clan."

In order to make it more deterrent, Chen Lang told a small lie.

Lu Ting sighed and said, "Scholar, this child is my grandson."

"Since he is your grandson, why hide him?" Chen Lang asked.

Lu Ting said bitterly: "Don't be afraid after you see it."

After saying that, he pulled his grandson out from behind him.

Xiao Qi was so scared that he hid behind Guardian Liu.

Although Guardian Liu was a little scared, the child with white spots all over his body was a human being after all, not a ghost.

So the security guards can still hold their ground.

Chen Lang showed no expression, and took the initiative to walk over, squatting in front of the child, and said, "Can I take a look?"

Lu Ting was horrified and asked, "Scholar, you... aren't afraid?"

Chen Lang touched the child's face and said, "What's there to be afraid of with vitiligo?"
