There are no lights in the corridors, and things outside the house cannot be seen clearly.

Yan Lan opened the gauze curtain on the window, wiped off the stains inside the window, and faced a face squeezed against the window.

It's not quite right to say it's a face.

Because it was a pool of runny, undeveloped deformed flesh, various organs of the stomach and intestines were dragged behind the unformed legs, and a few lanugo hairs stained with unidentified brown objects hung on the head.

The whole body is covered with a sticky translucent brown film.

fetal spirit...

It dragged its overweight head with its weak neck, and smashed it against the door frame.

Boom boom, boom boom.

The brown film was stuck to its head, and it swayed with the movement, and the immature eyeballs were knocked out of the eye sockets due to the excessive amplitude.

It stuck to the door frame with two "slaps", and was held back by it again.

"What is it?" Tu Yu walked out of the bathroom.

"A fetal spirit, and a deformed fetal spirit."

Yan Lan tapped on the glass with her fingers, and the vibration attracted Tai Ling's attention.

It cautiously slid over, stopped at the core of the vibration, and tried to look in with empty eyes.

It has no eyes, it can't see anything.

The fetal spirit surged forward with its jelly-like body, screaming like a baby, sharp and ear-piercing.

Outside the window, more fetal spirits emerged from the corners, and their semi-fluorescent bodies lit up the dim corridor like will-o'-the-wisps, crying along with the lure of babies.

From the group of fetuses, several newborn children crawled out, and there was even a five or six-year-old child.

Only the skeleton remained, with pieces of meat hanging from it.

The brain was opened, the brain was sucked dry by something, and there was nothing left in the internal organs.

"I can't go home, can you help me find my mother?"

The skeleton leaned over to the door and asked in pain and sorrow, "Can you help me? I've been here for a long, long time..."

"Who is your mother?" Yan Lan was slightly moved.

As if the skeleton had never been heard, he blankly counted the broken bones and fingers, "I have been here for a long, long time... one year, ten years, 20 years..."

It ignored Yan Lan, turned around and returned to the group of lost souls.

"What are these things?"

Tu Yu couldn't see clearly, so he dragged a stool and stepped on it to see: "Why do they all look like this?"

"It's all fetuses that died before they were formed, babies who died unexpectedly, and children who died young."

Yan Lan frowned, looking at the spooky scenery outside, "The obsession with this kind of existence is very strong, and the resentment is also strong."

"The birth rate in Donghua Village is zero. Could it be because all the newborns were killed?" Tu Yu tilted his head.

"It's not that simple." Yan Lan pinched the center of her brows, rarely feeling tricky, "The shape of these fetuses is wrong, they have two sets of organs."

"What?!" Tu Yu's eyes widened, he lay down on the window in shock, and carefully observed the fetal spirit.

"Remember to turn off the lights after watching, the soul is like a noctuid, it will be close to the light source and warm."

Yan Lan's palm was pressed against the glass, and the temperature of the palm attracted Tai Ling's nostalgic and eager scratches, leaving behind a puddle of brown liquid.

She withdrew her hand, "Go to the village tomorrow to have a look, there should be quite a few clues."

"Okay," Tu Yu nodded, "Then you go take a shower first, I'll stay here."

……

"The front is the area where the village residents gather. The hotel we live in is far away from here. I guess we don't want foreigners like us to come into contact with the villagers."

Lu Shuwen said, waiting for the three people behind to catch up.

Except for Xuan Mingfeng who went to the temple at the end of the village, the other four went inside the village.

"We're going to watch the group arena, and then go to the villagers to inquire about the news," Pei Yuchen said, "Do you want to go together?"

"Alright," Yan Lan nodded, and helped Tuyu who hadn't slept well, "Look at the road."

Tu Yu nodded in a daze, and yawned.

Her ears were too sharp, and she couldn't sleep because of the noise from the fetal spirit, so she stared at the fetal spirit stuck to the window until midnight.

I wake up a little when I hear the drums.

Tu Yu tried hard to open his eyes, only to realize that Yan Lan had led him to the edge of the ring, and this man took the opportunity to rub his head.

Yan Lan smiled, and looked away at the stage under the stare of the child.

The surroundings began to be noisy, and the young villagers began to cheer, speaking encouraging Hmong, and chanting the most anticipated names.

Ah Sheng tied a black headband on his forehead, tied his hair behind his forehead, and showed heroic eyebrows and eyes.

He is the first contest.

The audience was full of elders, and the great elder on the main seat turned his eyes to see Yan Lan and the others, and beckoned to the Miao girl beside him.

Miao Nu nodded hesitantly, and hurriedly ran to the place where the stranger was.

"Hello tourists."

A girl wearing a navy blue Miao costume stopped in front of them, her words were reserved and polite, "Our Great Elder said that the first round of this year is a free challenge, and foreigners can also join the lively arena, are you interested?"

"Lively?" Pei Yuchen looked sideways, "Aren't you afraid that we will trample on your face?"

"No, not to mention ordinary people, even three or four young people with excellent legs and feet in our village can't take advantage of Ah Sheng."

Miao Nu held the silver stone carved with a flower and a grass in her hands and passed it on. She was obviously uncomfortable with Pei Yuchen's words, and her words were a little bit more thorny:

"Outsiders still have to be careful. The hospital is far away from the village. If you get injured or even stay here, we won't be responsible."

"The tone is not small, then I will."

Pei Yuchen picked up the silver stone and threw it at the big drum on the stage, making a "dong" sound.

Ah Sheng stretched out his hand to stop Yinshi from bouncing back, looked at Pei Yuchen in the audience, and frowned, "Outsider?"

"Asheng," the Great Elder on the main seat said, his eyes were not clear under the bright morning light, "Let the guests participate in the experience."

Ah Sheng nodded.

Pei Yuchen jumped onto the ring and made the gestures commonly used in Muay Thai.

Ah Sheng cupped his fists: "Please enlighten me."

"The young guy up there is competing with A Sheng? He is a stranger... It seems that there are a few female dolls here this time. What are you doing here?"

"Shh, don't worry about it so much, be careful not to get angry."

The woman behind her was talking in Miao language, Yan Lan took a step back to hear clearly.

"These things are beyond the control of us women. I just hope that my baby can be born smoothly."

"You don't have to be afraid, you are the first child, you just need to go to the river to release fish to pray for Sa Sui's blessing and safety, my third child will go to Luoshui to ask for flowers and plants, I hope it will not be a boy again, there is already a boy gone."

"But if you give birth to a girl and become a Donghua saint..."

"Keep your voice down, that's a gift from Sa Sui. If you're not pious, you won't be blessed. Let's go, let's release the fish, and then go to Luoshui to ask for Sa Sui's blessing."

After the two Miao girls finished speaking in a low voice, they slowly withdrew from the crowd and left.

"I'll leave first."

Yan Lan greeted Lu Shuwen, Tu Yu kept his eyes on the ring, and hurriedly followed after seeing it from the corner of the eye.

The Great Elder deflected his gaze imperceptibly, pressed the rat-headed cane, and a blurry black shadow was peeled off from the shadow under the light, and quickly followed in stealth.
