How can the concubine be a lady in women's clothing!

The leading young man looked at the old man and his wife kneeling on the ground crying towards the Buddha statue in the temple, his eyes were reddened by this painful scene, and finally he closed his eyes in unacceptable fear and muttered to himself: "Could it be that we really can't Get rid of this curse? What kind of evil is this..."

Although he was talking to himself, his voice was not too low, so the people around him heard it and sighed heavily, but there was nothing they could do.

If God wants to punish them, what can they do?It's just that they are all honest people, and those children are innocent, the sky has no eyes!

Chi Jin also heard the young man's murmur, and asked in surprise, "Curse? What curse?"

The young man clenched his fists and looked at the miserable scene in front of him. He heard extremely stern cries in his ears. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Every time the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there will always be a child missing for no reason. Unexpectedly, but this time it turned out to be..."

At the end, his tone choked up, and he looked up at the sky and said, "Is this not a curse? But why did God treat us like this? We think we have a clear conscience, and why bother to embarrass our children?!"

Another woman beside him wiped her tears and choked with sobs: "This must be a curse! If there is anything wrong with the child, if you want to curse, come to us."

Curse, is there really a curse?

In this era of worshiping gods and Buddhas, the crowd immediately exploded as soon as the word curse was uttered, and panic, injustice and unknown voices suddenly sounded.

"Curse? Why is there a curse?"

"I don't know why there is a curse, but I know the child is innocent!"

"Yes, the child is innocent!"

A few women with children also hugged their children tightly in fear, for fear that they would be taken away by God if they let go!The old man and woman who were kneeling and crying had already been helped up, and the old man suddenly looked ten years old again, and he sat down to the side in dejected self-reproach and kept repeating in a low voice: "It's my fault. Fruit..."

Guo'er's mother also heard the curse, she threw off the hand of the woman beside her like crazy, ran to the Buddha statue again, knelt down and cried, "Buddha! Guo'er is still a child, she didn't Sin, give her back to me!"

The two women at the side helped her up again, wiping away their tears, and said, "Mother Guoer, the ground is getting cooler, and Guoer will definitely find it!"

These things happened within a few breaths, and the scene became more and more panicky and chaotic. Chi Jin frowned deeply after hearing the curse, and then said firmly: "This is impossible!"

"It can't be a curse!"

At the same time as his words, there was another painful and hoarse voice. Chi Jin looked up and saw that it was Liu Qiang. At this time, Liu Qiang's eyes were filled with tears, and he stared at the sad woman in front of him with wide eyes. , Just blink a little, and all the water will flow down like a dike.

He clenched his fists tightly, threw the cloth bag full of fish in his hand to the ground, and said, "It can't be a curse! Guo'er is right, where did the curse come from, she must have walked away quietly." It’s lost, let’s go out and look for it now, maybe we can find it again!”

"Yes, yes, go find it." The leading young man was awakened by these words, his head stunned by panic and sadness, and he suddenly dropped the saddle basket, and rushed out with one stride, his voice was heard far and wide in the wind and snow. Floating: "I'll go to the south to look for it!"

"Yes, go find it!" The speaker was Zhang Juan, who seemed to suddenly think of something and said quickly: "Guo'er should still be nearby, when Liu Qiang and I came back to pick up our backpacks, I saw Guo'er in the temple! She just squatted there obediently on the straw!"

After finishing speaking, she held her child in one hand anxiously. When she came back today, she was also worried about her child's accident, so she took a special look at it, so she was sure that Guo'er was there at that time.

Following her memory, she pointed firmly and pointed to an open space in the temple. Chi Jin looked over and found that it was not far from where the old people were sitting, or even very close. How could she not see it?

After hearing these words, everyone in the house also woke up like a dream. Except for the old man and the woman with the child, everyone else was agitated, holding sticks and waiting, and each went to find someone, including Guo'er's mother. Also ran out.

Chi Jin was a step slower than them. He always felt that something was wrong, and the sense of disobedience was extremely strong in his mind. He looked back at the women, old people and children who stayed in the temple again, and then looked at the backs of everyone leaving in thought After waiting for a while, she told Xia Mian, "Stay here and watch Huahua, and don't let her out of your sight for a moment."

Xia Mian was also stunned by this sudden change, her eyes were red and she tightly held Huahua's hand in fear, "I won't let her go!"

Chi Jin nodded, and finally looked at Liu Qiang, who was standing at the door with his head bowed in silence, dripping hot tears and silently sad, patted him on the shoulder reassuringly and said, "Let's go, let's search separately, maybe we can find it."

Liu Qiang smiled miserably, showing a weird smile that was uglier than crying and said: "Okay, Guo'er must be fine."

After finishing speaking, the two left the ruined temple and searched in different ways at the door. I don't know when Xiaoxue in the air gradually grew bigger. After a while, a thick layer piled up on Chi Jin's bamboo hat, which was heavy and made people whole body Cold, like mood.

While paying attention to the road under his feet, Chi Jin looked around to find Guoer's figure: "Guoer, did you hear that?"

I don't know how long I walked, but I couldn't find this direction. Chi Jin turned his toes and continued to search in the side direction.

He looked at the heavy snow all over the mountain, and he thought to himself that it might be more ominous, such a small child, and so obedient...

obedient!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Chi Jin's mind, and he said that something was wrong there before, so it was here!

Guo'er, that child was so obedient, her mother told her not to eat other people's food, she just stood aside and watched quietly, and when the woman left, she even told her to stay in the temple obediently, so Guo'er would definitely not Will run around, and it is still snowing outside, there is no reason to run out to play.

So, why is the fruit missing?Did he really run out and get lost?Or is it a curse?

Chi Jin's footsteps froze for a moment, looking at the footprints of someone walking in front of him in a daze, and reasoning, according to his guess, he didn't believe any of them, so... Could it be someone from the team?

Judging from the current situation, this reason is the most reasonable and also the most unreasonable.

Firstly, the people in this team obviously trust each other very much. Most of them are women and old people with children. The only two men are the leader and the middle-aged man who loves his daughter dearly.

Not to mention that they stayed by Chi Jin's side during the time when Guo'er was missing. Liu Qiang went back halfway, but Zhang Juan also followed. Zhang Juan herself has children, so naturally she would not let others do it. Out of such bad things.

Second, why is it the most reasonable?It's not a curse, it's not that Guo'er ran out disobediently, then only artificial intelligence is the most suspicious.

Chi Jin couldn't tell for a while, and he didn't dare to say this guess rashly, so he could only keep it in his heart for the time being, and prepared to observe and observe everyone carefully when he went back.

And during this period of time, he also discovered that this team has been together for an unknown amount of time, and they are very united. As a newcomer, he suddenly said that there are ghosts inside, which will only increase trouble and make people behind the scenes vigilant .

As he thought about it, he looked around, of course it would be best to find Guo'er.

Chi Jin sighed and blew out a white mist.

The cold wind outside made his face and throat dry, and after shouting all the way, he was a little powerless at this time, and when he forced it again, he was stung by the cold wind, so he had to look around and patrol.

This is a small forest. After Chi Jin passes through the forest, there is a slope covered with snow. Could it be below the slope?

Thinking of this, he stepped up to the top of the slope cautiously, making sure that the ground under his feet would not collapse before looking down, and there was someone below!

The person below was bent over looking for something, and when he heard the movement from above, he stood up abruptly. Looking online, those red eyes pierced deeply into Chi Jin's eyes. It turned out that it was Liu Qiang.

Chi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, put the sleeve arrow in his hand back into his sleeve with a deft movement of his wrist, and said to Liu Qiang, who was staring at him blankly, "Brother Liu, did you find it?"

Liu Qiang's already red eyes suddenly became even redder, and the tears rolled down and condensed into ice while they were still in the air. His straight lips were also bent downward, and his voice was hoarse: "I didn't find it."

After finishing speaking, he threw the wooden stick in his hand to find the way on the snow, beat his chest bitterly and said: "I have searched all over this area, but I can't find any fruit. I wonder if that girl will Rolled down the slope, but..."

His tone became more and more choked, even if he didn't say Chi Jin, he understood what he had to say.

Liu Qiang weakly picked up the wooden stick on the ground, walked up the slope from the side in a trance, and said in an erratic voice: "Go back, I have searched here, go back and see if they found it, my daughter is also there In this kind of snowy day, I don't know where I went, probably left me, a worthless father, to enjoy the blessings."

Chi Jin looked at him crying and smiling weakly at the same time. This was heavier than crying, so he could only sigh and said, "My condolences."

When they returned to the ruined temple, some of them came back dejectedly. A group of people looked outside anxiously. After a while, others also came back one after another. Hanging feebly.

They couldn't find it. At this time, the light in the sky was getting less and less, and the world was getting darker and darker. It was getting dark. They searched all the places they could go, but there was no one.

The leading young man squatted on the ground, buried his head in his knees, and said in a muffled voice: "We have searched all the places we can go, and the road outside is blocked by heavy snow, so we can't go... Wait, seal road!"

He raised his head abruptly, and said in panic, "Tell me, will Guo'er go to a place covered by snow, and then..."

Then fell into the snow pit and disappeared.

Everyone thought of the meaning behind his words in their hearts, and they were shocked. Among them, Liu Qiang had the biggest reaction. He opened the wooden door of the ruined temple with a fist, and was hit hard by his stiff and red hand. There was a small opening under it, and the swaying wooden door was immediately skewed even more.

The people at the side quickly grabbed him to comfort him, if the door opened wider, they would not even be able to take shelter from the wind tonight.

The atmosphere in the ruined temple was very heavy, and everyone knew that Guo'er might not come back, just like the two little girls before.

Guo'er's mother walked to the corner of the ruined temple in a daze, and collapsed powerlessly on the haystack, tears streaming from her empty eyes, which made people feel heartbroken but helpless.

At the same time, Chi Jin was also secretly observing everyone's reactions, but in the end he found nothing. Everyone seemed to be really sad for Guo'er's disappearance.

He kept his suspicions in his heart. At this time, the sky outside was getting darker and darker. He touched the fancy head who ran over, looked at the fish that was thrown aside, and said: "It's getting late, let's have dinner first, the children still have dinner." Hungry."

Everyone looked at the children who were huddled together and were too scared to make a sound, and nodded one after another, and the ruined temple was busy and lively again.

Some people bury the fish in the snow outside to freeze, and leave it for more than ten days to eat tonight. Everyone is tired today. Although they are depressed, their stomachs are truly empty.

More than a dozen fish were boiled into fish soup, and everyone shared a large bowl full of fish meat. The fish soup was very thick and fragrant. The children ate without moving, but the adults were a little bit I don't know the taste of food.

Chi Jin forced himself to eat a bowl of fish meat and drink a bowl of fish soup. The child in his belly needed nutrition, and now that there was plenty of fish, he had to eat more.

After putting down the bowl, he opened the bag and prepared to take out the cotton coat inside to use as a quilt. When his eyes touched the dry food inside, he paused and thought of Guo'er again.

Guo'er hasn't eaten his flower porridge yet.

The only sound in the room was the crackling of firewood and the heavy breathing of everyone.

After being silent for a while, Liu Qiang stood up abruptly. He squeezed his red eyes tightly, reached out and picked up a fire bag and put it in his pocket, and said in a heavy tone: "I'll go out and take a walk to calm down, don't worry about me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the crowd, he quickly walked out through the gap in the door and disappeared into the night.

Everyone looked out of the dark door in panic. The leading young man stood up abruptly, took the wooden stick and a self-defense dagger beside him, walked out and said to them, "I'll go and pull him back, it's getting dark." It's dangerous out there!"

Seeing him go out, everyone was slightly relieved, who didn't know that Liu Qiang loved the child the most, and he was also anxious when Guo'er disappeared, and now he must be thinking of his daughter.

Not long after, when everyone was looking forward to it, the young man pulled Liu Qiang back. When he pulled Liu Qiang in, he was still persuading him: "I know you are sad, but it is really dangerous outside. How about we go out and look for it tomorrow morning?"

Liu Qiang didn't make a sound, his dark face was flushed red from the cold, and he looked at the leading young man with a sinking face, as if he might rush out at any time, and the young man felt a chill inexplicably.

Not long after the stalemate, Liu Qiang calmed down first, lowered his head in a sad tone and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

"Woo-hoo--" The wind blew loudly, and the dilapidated gate creaked, and it snowed heavily again.

The women couldn't help but hugged the children in their arms tightly, for fear of being blown away by the wind. The fire in the ruined temple was blown and swayed, making the ruined temple seem a bit gloomy and gloomy.

Chi Jin also hugged Huahua tightly, Xia Mian tore up the haystacks and cotton clothes, came over and said softly, "Cousin, go to sleep."

Chi Jin nodded and let Huahua lie in the center, he and Xia Mian were on both sides to protect her, with one hand tightly hugging Huahua's wrist, he didn't believe in natural disasters and curses, he believed in man-made disasters more.

After seeing the murderer Tucun and the children on the side of the road avenging their vengeance, he now has other understandings of human nature. He knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts. This team is actually not safe, and he must be cautious.

He leaned close to Xia Mian's ear, lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Be careful at night, don't sleep too deeply."

Xia Mian went in without knowing it, but still kept Chi Jin's advice in mind.

Except for a few worried people who hadn't slept yet, the others were also extremely tired and lay down to rest, but the frowns that were furrowed in sleep showed that their hearts were not peaceful.

At night, amidst the howling cold wind, Chi Jin didn't sleep well. He was a little cold, and he dreamed of Zhuang Nian again in a daze. This time, he was in this dilapidated temple. Thin, his teeth were shivering from the cold.

So cold.

He was about to cry coldly and suddenly saw Zhuang Nian not far away, and Chi Jinmeng waved to him excitedly. Although he couldn't see the man's face clearly, he knew it was Zhuang Nian!

And Zhuang Nian ran towards him quickly, and Chi Jin was so happy that he opened his arms and was ready to fall into that warm and broad embrace. Just when they were only five steps away, there was a slight click sound, and he was alerted immediately. wake up.

His chaotic mind instantly cleared up, and he narrowed one eye slightly, carefully looking in the direction of the sound, only to see that it was a black shadow quietly walking outside the door.

With the light of the fire in the room, Chi Jin saw the man's face clearly, and then he was startled. It turned out to be Liu Qiang. What was he doing out at night?

Chi Jin got up cautiously, looked at the direction Liu Qiang was leaving with dim eyes, and after a little thought, he followed up. He has internal strength and can do light work, and he is confident that he can do it quietly with a person.

At the same time, in the city of Tai'an.

Yan Zhuangze woke up from the dream with an "uh" sound, and when he touched his forehead, he was already sweating profusely. At this time, he was sitting at the desk with a map in his hand and fell asleep.

Yu An, who was sitting not far away looking at the medical book, heard his low cry and came back to his senses, put down the book and walked over and said, "What's wrong with you? If you want to sleep, go back to your room and sleep. I'll wait here for news. "

Yan Zhuangze shook his head, he was still immersed in that incomparably real dream and couldn't recover, he gasped and covered his beating heart and said: "I, I dreamed about Jing Chi again."

In the dream, he was almost able to hug Jing Chi, only five steps away!Just when he was crying with joy, Jing Chi suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the severe heart pain and strong reluctance in the dream were still vivid in his mind, lingering in his mind.

Hearing this, Yu An smiled helplessly and said, "Think about it every day, dream at night, go back and rest, I'll come here."

Yan Zhuangze still shook his head and asked in a daze, "Is there still no news?"

"No."

"Tomorrow, I will go out of the city to look for it myself."

Yu An nodded: "I'll go with you."

Then there was another silence, Yan Zhuangze raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot after he hadn't rested for a long time, he said softly in a dazed way: "I dreamed that Jing Chi became a monk again, he was standing at the gate of a ruined temple, he seemed very cold Very bad, open your arms and wait for me to hug him, almost..."

Yu An sighed heavily, rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's rest, I'll go to him tomorrow, the dreams are all fake."

"No!" Yan Zhuangze retorted with a low growl, that dream was too real, so real...it was as if Jing Chi entrusted him with a dream.

Dream!

This idea swelled like a weed in Yan Zhuangze's mind!He suddenly became excited, his eyes burst out with excitement, and even his voice trembled slightly with excitement, he clenched his fists excitedly and said: "I know where Jing Chi is, in the temple!"

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Yu An to react, he summoned the hidden guards and said, "Come here! Go and check for me temples with a radius of a hundred miles, no matter how big or small they are, or whether they are deserted or not!"
