The sky was getting dark, Li Baolu hesitated between continuing to walk and stopping, and finally decided to crawl out.

   Even if she knew very little about this era, she knew that the mountains and forests were dangerous at night.

   There is a danger of encountering poisonous insects and beasts if you stay, and you may get lost if you continue to walk. After all, you can’t see at night, and many traces are submerged in the night.

   Both may lose her life, but she is willing to bet that her grandmother will not give up on her, and bet on her own ability.

   Before it was completely dark, Li Baolu found a dry branch to make a torch, took out the flint and carefully lit the torch.

  Wan saw the mountains and forests in front of him clearly by the light of the torch, and his heart kept falling down, until it sank to the bottom of the valley.

  This is the densest and most dangerous mountain forest in the vicinity, because there are beasts from time to time, and no one comes to collect firewood in winter.

  Li Hong threw a three-year-old child inside, let alone a day's work, even if he turned around, an accident could happen.

  Miss Wan felt pain and anger in her heart, no longer caring about her son's face, she turned around and slapped him, then grabbed the torch in one's hand and rushed into the woods.

  The villagers who followed to look for someone were silent, but the one in front quickly grabbed Mrs. Wan and persuaded in a low voice, "Auntie, I'm afraid that the child will fail. It's dangerous in the mountains, you should think about yourself more..."

  Wan was sad and painful to hear the words, and couldn't help crying out, "Baolu, Baolu—"

"God, it's unfair to you. My Li family has saved lives and helped the wounded. I have never done anything wrong. How can you be so cruel, even accepting such a small child..." Mrs Wan fell to the ground crying, and she couldn't stand up in pain. .

   Everyone was moved when they heard the words, and their gazes towards Li Hong became a little unkind.

   The place to look for has changed from the cemetery to this place. Everyone is not a fool. Even if they think with their toes, they know that Li Hong does not want to raise a niece, so he threw the person into the mountains.

   This heart is cruel enough that a child cannot be left with a whole corpse when he dies.

   But drowning children is a common occurrence in this world. There is no way. Everyone can’t afford to raise them, so they can only drown.

   If the parents did this, everyone would at most think that their family was having a hard time, but if the uncle did it, it would inevitably feel that this person had a bad character.

   Of course, every household in this village is a criminal or a convict who was exiled here. There are no good people, but there are also bottom lines for bad people.

   Besides, the Li family's popularity in the village is really good.

Everyone knows that the Li family was exiled to this point not because of their own crime, but because they offended the imperial concubine in the palace because of saving people. Moreover, Li Bo was a doctor in the heart of his parents. Whenever people in the village came to the house when they were sick, even if they could not pay the consultation fee They also help with prescriptions and sometimes even support some herbal medicines.

   Not to mention Li Kang, he was a bright, generous person and was righteous. Nearly half of the young people in the village followed him. Unfortunately, the last time he went to sea, all the troops who had a good relationship with him were wiped out, and none of them came back alive.

   Otherwise, Li Hong would not be allowed to bully Li Kang's orphan like this.

Although none of the people present had a deep friendship with Li Kang, they were willing to come to help and find someone to think of each other a little bit. , you must know that Li Baolu was held in the palm of the hands of Li Kang and his wife, and she was so pampered and petted that the whole village could not find a more lovely child than her.

  If they really can't raise children, they won't talk about it. The key is that everyone knows that Li Kang and his wife are capable. They may not know how much property they have left for the Li family, and how much can Li Baolu spend on a child?

   is a more cruel person, deducting some food and clothing, and raising a person until she is 13 or 14 years old and marrying off, why should she kill her?

   is the only bloodline left by the eldest brother.

  Many people feel that Li Hong is not a person who can be deeply acquainted.

   Mr. Wan bit his lip so much that blood was covered in blood.

   She raised her head and glanced at the dark mountain forest that opened its mouth like a monster, clenched her fists, glared back at her son angrily, pushed away the people who were blocking her, and went inside...

   "Auntie!" The young man stopped in front of her.

Wan put away the grief on his face, and said lightly: "I am old, and I have only lived for the past few years, but what face will I have to see A Kang and his daughter-in-law after death? Why don't I pursue it now? Shang Baolu, I couldn't protect her when she was alive, and I can always make a way for her when I get to the underworld."

   After saying that, he pushed the young man's hand away, holding the torch and walking into the woods step by step.

   Everyone looked at her back in silence.

  Li Hong's face was ashen, watching his mother go to the mountains and forests as if she was dying, he was angry in his heart, am I not your son?

   For a dead granddaughter, peeled his face off and stepped on the ground in public, did she ever think about his situation?

   The remaining guilt in Li Hong's heart disappeared at this moment. He watched his mother go into the mountains step by step. Even if he knew that he would never come back, he did not stop him.

  This is a place of exile, and Li Hong reminded himself in his heart that if he offended the favorite concubine of the court, their family's desire to return to the capital or their hometown would be a fool's dream. If so, why should he care about his illusory reputation?

   There are no good people here, so what if you are evil?

  A good person is deceived by others, and only if he is evil can he deter others.

  Li Hong kept finding reasons for himself in his heart, but he forgot that wicked people also have things they disdain.

   And Li Hong killed his niece in the front, and watched his mother die in the back. It was unrighteous and unfilial. Although everyone didn't want to cause trouble, they began to exclude him.

Mrs. Wan went into the woods. Everyone knew that she entered with the determination to die. Thinking of the hard life and having such a son, it was impossible to say whether it was better to live or die, so no one stopped her. Just holding the torch and watching the direction where she disappeared...

  Wan looked at the dark forest in front of her. She held the torch high and could only see five steps in front of her. Baolu was so small, she was not sure why she was afraid.

  Miss Wan wiped away tears, braced her waist and walked inside, muttering as she walked, "Baolu, grandma is here to accompany you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

   And Baolu was also holding a torch that was fading out with difficulty. She heard her grandmother's voice calling her just now, but after only two beeps, she couldn't hear any movement. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

   After shouting "Grandma" twice, Baolu was even more certain that the voice she heard just now was her hallucination. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The whole villain was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

  Although she can still see the traces on the road, she doesn't know how long it is before leaving the mountain, and the longer time passes, the more tired and prone to mistakes, she is now completely supported by willpower.

   Aside from a halo around his body, all he could see was darkness, and some trees looked like ghosts against the backdrop of the firelight. If Li Baolu wasn't mentally strong enough, he would have gone the wrong way in a panic even if he wasn't crazy.

   Fortunately, she has never done anything wrong in her past and present life, so she can confidently tell herself not to be afraid.

  Li Baolu thought she had encountered a beast when she heard Susu's voice, her face turned pale, her body was short, and she squatted on the ground. She was hesitating whether she was about to blow out the fire handle when she vaguely heard the voice of someone talking.

  Li Baolu's eyes lit up, it was grandmother's voice!

   She didn't care to distinguish between reality and hallucination, she jumped up and shouted: "Grandma!"

   The voice in the darkness disappeared, and the whole forest was silent for three seconds, and then Li Baolu faintly heard a call, "Baolu? Baolu—"

Li Baolu pinched her thigh, and the pain hit, she felt a lot more awake, and she could still hear her grandmother's call at this time, she knew it was not an illusion, she happily agreed, "Grandma, I am here. here!"

  Wan almost went crazy with joy, she held up the torch and ran towards the voice.

  The woods were full of trees and shrubs, Baolu simply stood still and kept calling "Grandma, I'm here" to determine the direction for Wan.

  Wan walked through the woods for half an hour before she saw Xiao Baolu holding a torch. Her eyes lit up and she hurried forward to hug him.

Mrs Wan held Baolu in her arms, tears kept falling on her shoulders, holding the lost and found treasure, Mrs Wan promised her in a low voice, "Good boy, I'm not afraid, grandmother will definitely protect you in the future. !"

Li Baolu hugged Wan Shi's neck and pouted and complained, "Second uncle said to take me to find my father and mother, and walked a long way. Later, my second uncle said that he was going to pee, so he told me to wait there. But he disappeared in a blink of an eye, I waited for a long time and he didn't come, so I had to come out by myself."

   Instead of waiting for my grandmother to ask, she should take the initiative to explain.

  Wan's heart was full of hatred, and he instructed: "Don't believe your second uncle's words in the future, you know?"

After    finished speaking, he felt weird, looked Baolu up and down and said in surprise, "Baolu, where did you get this torch?"

   "I made it myself," Li Baolu took out the contents of the small backpack and showed it to her grandmother, proudly said: "I will still make many things."

   A strange feeling arose in Mrs Wan's heart. Baolu didn't wake up for a long time, and she hadn't made torches at home. How could she do it?

   And she also prepared these things in the small backpack in advance. She didn't think Li Hong would prepare them for her.

"It was getting dark, and I couldn't find my way home. I was very scared, so I made torches. I seemed to see my father and mother kissing, and they took me out, but I was still so scared, it was dark all around. of…"

  Miss Wan was heartbroken, looked up and asked, "Your parents are here?"

   Baolu shook her head, "They left, they disappeared as soon as my grandmother called me."

With tears in her arms, Wan hugged Baolu tightly and murmured: "Your parents can't worry about you, Kanger, don't worry, mother will definitely arrange Baolu, this is your bloodline, you can say anything. Keep it for you..."

   In this way, Baolu's weirdness has also been explained. Wan looked at her lovingly. Maybe Kang'er and his daughter-in-law did this child's work to become smart. Otherwise, why would they become smarter when Baolu died?

  Ms. Wan found the explanation and stopped worrying about it, hugged Baolu and walked out.
