Hearing this kind of spooky story made several teenagers nervous and excited. The desire for knowledge has always been a deep-rooted instinct of human beings. The more unknown and weird, the more eager they are.

The reason why human beings are so keen on the curious and destructive aspects of unknown things is that they can get satisfaction from them. Whether they are exploring answers to unknown truths, or talking and making comments from a high moral point, the sense of conquest and superiority has always been there. The best and the basest qualities deep within the human soul.

Wei Chengye sighed and said: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in our village. It's really mysterious."

"Isn't it? I was also surprised when I heard it for the first time." Lock and Corn huddled their shoulders and folded their arms, looking cold and cold.

Sanmao touched his arm with goosebumps, and suddenly asked, "Hey, tell me, if the Wang Liezi's family really bought someone from a trafficker..."

"There's nothing I can't understand. Just listen to what my dad said. Cripple Wang is not only lame in his legs, but his brain is not very good, and he's not that good looking. It's true that he's a cripple. Just like him, in general How can anyone's daughter fall in love with him, and how can anyone be willing to marry his daughter to him? It would be much easier to buy a daughter-in-law." Skinny Gou waved his hands and spoke calmly.

"Oh, that's right." Sanmao, Suo Tou and Zi Zi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Hearing these children talk about human trafficking so calmly, Wei Chengye couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and couldn't help reminding: "Human trafficking is illegal..."

When he said this, he found that several of his friends were looking at him in surprise, and then smiled and said, "Of course they know," and then talked about roasting sweet potatoes later. Everyone divided the work and went to collect some firewood. Take out some bird eggs and eat them.

Wei Chengye felt silent for a while as they avoided the topic intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, he suddenly had further thoughts on what he just said about "human trafficking is illegal."

The children all know that it is against the law, and the adults in the village must know it too, but why did no one report the crime back then? The whole village... such a big village, with hundreds of people, did no one want to rescue the one who hadn't become a king? The girl who is the wife of a cripple?
The people in the village, the people in the village at that time, my relatives... what role did they play in this incident back then?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt. For a moment, he could no longer find warmth and sunshine in the memories of spending time with his family. He only felt that everyone was smiling so meaningfully in the world of black and white films...

People will escape, and children will choose to escape more than adults.

Wei Chengye raised the corners of his mouth, and quickly followed up with the little friends who were getting closer and closer together, and squeezed in between them who were getting closer and closer to allowing him to step in, and said with a smile: "What about the sweet potato later?" There are big and small ones, but I don’t want to eat the small ones.”

I hope that girl was not bought back then, she was willing to marry such a cripple, maybe the cripple was ugly and kind-hearted, and the cripple was not born lame and ugly, maybe he had seen it before, I have known and fallen in love with that girl.

Everyone must be kind.

Hearing this, the smiles of the friends widened. The thin dog patted Wei Chengye on the back and said, "It's okay. Anyway, we have to dig out bird eggs later. If you are a small person, eat more sweet potatoes." You eat less.”

"Okay, I don't like eating eggs anyway." Wei Chengye said with a smile. He always felt like there was something furry behind his back, as if someone was staring at them. But when he looked around, he didn't see a pair of strange eyes. Instead, it was the crow's. The chirping became louder and more chaotic.

They arrived soon, the old crow house was not as old and dilapidated as Wei Chengye imagined, and there was no dust in the courtyard, it was actually clean, but there was an indescribable strange smell in the air.

It smells bad, yes, but it's not so repulsive or unacceptable.The kitchen of the Old Crow House is next to the woodshed, and the rusty pot is still on the stove. They first went into the kitchen to look around, and then came out to look at the woodshed. The firewood in the woodshed had long been emptied. .

"Who's going to dig out the eggs?" Sanmao asked. He himself was the first to actively raise his hand. "I'll go, I was the first to say."

"I'll go too. I'm the best at finding birds and climbing trees in our village." The thin dog held his head high and his chest high, his air was so high that he seemed to grow a little taller in an instant.

Suo Tou and Gu Zi looked at each other and grinned, arguing that they wanted to go.

Regarding this, Wei Chengye smiled and said: "You four go together. I see that there are a lot of branches and wood to pick up nearby. Finding firewood is also very simple, and it doesn't need a lot. I can do it by myself, and I can climb a lot. I've never done digging out birds' eggs from trees, but I'm not good at it, and I don't want to throw myself."

Hearing this, Lock Tou and Corn's expressions relaxed, and they smiled and said they had no objection.

"That's okay." Skinny Dog nodded, thinking it was okay.

Sanmao gave him a strange look, hesitating, hesitant to speak, and before the four of them walked out of the door, he walked the slowest, and then he dared to ask Wei Chengye: "Are you alright by yourself?" ?”

He was very wary of the crow house, and the crows echoing around seemed to make him uncomfortable.

Wei Chengye said with a smile that of course he has no problem, he is not afraid.

Sanmao scratched his head and didn't say any more, just reminded Wei Chengye to be careful when picking up wood by himself, there are a lot of snakes and insects now, so don't get bitten.

Wei Chengye responded and said that he knew. He watched his friends go away, but he stayed in the house and was not in a hurry to leave. It was easy to collect firewood. He was not in a hurry to pick it up, but he was very grateful to the old crow house. Interested and want to take a closer look.

He pushed open the doors of the other two rooms in the Old Crow House, one main room and one side room.

The side room is small, and you can see everything at a glance when you push it open. It is very simple in furnishings, mainly a bed, a wardrobe and a dressing mirror filled with the owner's supplies. There are black stains on the bed, reflecting the outlines of two figures. , with a strong musty smell. This should be the place where Wang Laizi's parents lived during his lifetime. Wei Chengye knew that there was a custom in the village. After the eldest son of the family got married, the big master room would be given to the child, and the parents would move into a smaller one. Room.

Wei Chengye looked at the two human-shaped stains on the bed, and trembled for no reason. The stains showed the last outline of the owner of the room, struggling and twisting like that... They seemed to want to escape, but they couldn't even get on the bed. Get it.

The same is true in the master room. There are traces of two figures, one large and one small, presumably Wang Laizi and his short-lived child.

Wei Chengye also couldn't figure out how those stains were left, but he didn't think deeply, he just looked curiously at the beams on the roof, at the mattress, left and right, very puzzled.

The mattress was in good condition, and there were no scratch marks left by heavy objects hanging on the beams.
