Chapter 202

I guess I was really too tired, so I just lowered my head like this, and fell asleep groggyly after not much effort.

Unexpectedly, I fell asleep straight away until dawn.I stayed in one position for too long, and I felt sore and sore all over my body, so I stood up immediately and stretched my muscles and bones vigorously.

After clearing my mind, I immediately thought of Li Jianli and Lian Ye.

I don't know how these two are doing now?

So I hurriedly looked back, and when I turned my head, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Jianli had aged a lot overnight, squatting on the ground, like a little old man, with a lot of beard growing on his mouth.This scene looks really weird.

And Lian Ye, who was next to him, was drowsy at the moment, completely unaware of Li Jianli's abnormality.

I walked up cautiously and patted Lian Ye's shoulder lightly: "Sister Ye, wake up..."

Lian Ye opened his eyes, saw me, and wanted to stand up, but just as he stood up, he fell down again: "I have a headache."

I hurriedly helped Lian Ye up: "Stretch and take a few deep breaths, it will be fine."

Lian Ye followed suit: "Daqiang, I didn't expect it to work. I feel much better now."

"Yeah." My attitude towards Lian Ye was neither cold nor cold, not for anything else but because of Lian Ye's bloodline.

I subconsciously feel that people with Xitian blood must not be trusted.Now I have no choice but to walk with her. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely leave her.

"Look at Li Jianli, what's going on." I said to Lian Ye.

Lian Ye glanced back at Li Jianli, and was immediately shocked: "Li Jianli, you... what's wrong with you?"

Li Jianli slowly opened his eyes. He looked very weak and his voice was a little hoarse. I found many wrinkles on his face.

It really seems to have aged a lot overnight.

Li Jianli said hoarsely: "Those two errands...gone?"

It was only then that I noticed that the market, which was once bustling and bustling, was now extremely deserted, with a lot of garbage littered on the ground, and the wind was blowing.There was no one in the streets on both sides, and the doors of every house were closed, and there was no sign of anyone at all.

It's really strange, it was still lively last night, why is there no one in the morning?I looked at Li Jianli inexplicably: "Li Jianli, where are the people from last night?"

Li Jianli stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of my head: "Look at that plaque."

I just noticed that there is a wooden plaque hanging on the tower of this town.The plaque is tattered, and it has been through many winds and rains. There are two bright red characters written on it: ghost market!
ghost city...

These two words immediately exploded in my heart. I looked at these two words in astonishment. I never expected that the two of us slept in the ghost market last night.

No wonder Li Jianjian said yesterday that there was a errand, and of course there would be a errand guarding the entrance to the ghost market.

According to the customs in Shandong, the so-called ghost market is not a real ghost market, but a small market where some stolen goods are sold.

But the ghost market we encountered yesterday was a real ghost market, because there are not only people doing business in it, but also ghosts doing business.

The content of the transaction is not limited to antiques, and even includes various transactions such as buying and selling Yangshou, and sending messages to the people below.

Of course, if you want to enter the real ghost market, you have to be incompetent. I heard that you need a pass to enter.

Like yesterday, if we forcibly entered the ghost market, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, Li Jianjian stopped us in time.

"What's wrong with you?" I looked at Li Jianli cautiously and asked.

Li Jianjian hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll give you ten years of life, and you two will be safe..."

"Huh?" I immediately had a headache: "What's going on? Tell us in detail."

Li Jianli smirked, and then said: "Last night, you two offended the errand, and the errand planned to take you back while you were sleeping."

"Fortunately, I exchanged ten years of life with him in time, and finally got you both safe and sound."

After I heard it, I was heartbroken, because of me, how could I feel comfortable when Li Jianli was hurt like this?
Lian Ye still didn't believe it, and looked at Li Jianli in surprise.

But I know that Li Jianli will not lie, because Li Jianli and I grew up together. Although he is a fool, he has an upright personality and will not tell lies.

I remember one time, my friends and I wanted to play tricks on Li Jianli, so we called Li Jianli to play hide-and-seek together.

We asked Li Jianli to catch us, and after we hid, let Li Jianli come to find us.

In fact, we have already sneaked home.But Li Jianli kept looking for us in the same place, until late at night, refusing to go home.

As a result, at dinner time, I was eating with my grandma when I suddenly heard Li Jianjian shouting from behind: "Haha, Daqiang, I finally found you."

Only then did I know that Li Jianli had been looking for us all along.

Of course, I was spanked by my grandma later, and my grandma told me that this kid is different from us, and if I found out that I was playing tricks on him later, it would not be spanking.

After the spanking, he asked me to play with Li Jianli, which pissed me off to death.

"Why are you so stupid." I sighed: "Why didn't you wake us up? If you wake us up, we should run quickly."

"You guys are sleeping soundly, I don't want...to disturb you." Li Jianjian said.

My eyes are moist, I really didn't expect that I, Wu Daqiang, the only good friend and the only brother who died with me until now, is a fool.

I carefully helped Li Jianli up and asked, "Jianli, do you know what happened to our fellow villagers?"

Li Jianli nodded: "Yes, I have seen them."

"Then why weren't you taken down by grandma?" I asked.

Li Jianli hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Actually... I'm not human."

"Aren't you human?" I was taken aback: "Then what are you?"

Li Jianjian glanced around with his sneaky eyes, and said in a low voice, "I don't know what I am either."

"Huh?" I frowned: "Are you kidding me?"

Li Jianli said hurriedly: "No, I really didn't joke with you, what I said is true."

I really don't understand what Li Jianli wants to express to me.

Seeing my puzzled look, Li Jianli sighed and said, "I'd better tell you the truth."

It turned out that Li Jianli's parents were not from this village.

When Li Jianjian's mother was pregnant with Li Jianjian, their hometown was hit by locusts, and there was no harvest in the field.So Li Jianli's parents went out to beg with their whole family after they ate up everything they could eat at home.

There is no way, when people are extremely hungry, let alone begging, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.

Li Jianli's parents, after begging to grandma's village, were already hungry.Fortunately, there was a good harvest of food here at the time of grandma, and Li Jianli's mother was good at needlework, so she and Li Jianli's father simply settled down here.

After settling down, Li Jianjian's mother made needlework for others in exchange for some food, while his father was a skilled craftsman, working part-time in the village, which was able to subsidize the family.

Seeing that Li Jianli's mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it has been more than ten months, but she can't give birth anyway.

At that time, there were no midwifery methods such as cesarean section, so for a while, Li Jianli and his family were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

They heard that my grandma was a midwife, so they asked my grandma to take a look. Unexpectedly, my grandma went over to take a look, and immediately turned around and left, saying that she couldn't control this matter!
Li Jianli's father knew that there must be something tricky in it, so he immediately knelt down to my grandma and begged my grandma to help him.

My grandma saw that Li Jianli's parents were pitiful, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "I can help you, but you must tell me the truth."

Li Jianli's father quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will cooperate with you and explain honestly."

"Conceived in October but not giving birth, the pregnant woman's body is thin, her complexion is yellow and thin, this is a sign of a bad pregnancy..." my grandma said in a flat tone.

Although Li Jianli's parents didn't know what the so-called begging for life was about, they were immediately frightened when they heard the word "begging for life".

Nine times out of ten, the begging fetus is the one who is begging for life!

Li Jianli's father sat down on the ground: "Eldest sister, we haven't provoked anything, how could there be something to kill us?"

My grandma said: "Begging babies have rarely appeared since the Ming Dynasty. Because begging babies are only produced by pregnant women who have eaten baby corpses. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, people changed their children to eat, so At that time, there were a lot of life-threatening..."

My grandma looked at Li Jianli's father, and she understood the rest of the words without saying anything. Grandma suspected that Li Jianli's parents had eaten the baby's corpse.

But Li Jianli's father immediately swore: "No, no, big sister, we are all farmers, just like you. If it weren't for this locust plague, we would 100% not come out to beg for food. If we dared If you eat baby meat, why come out to beg for food? Sister, you really misunderstood us, we really have never eaten baby corpses."

My grandma nodded thoughtfully.

Li Jianli's parents are well known to his grandma. They are honest and honest, and they should do their duty. They should not do such a heartless thing.

But how did the begging fetus come into being?For a while, grandma couldn't figure it out.

"Then tell me, what have you eaten since your daughter-in-law became pregnant?" my grandma asked.
