Forbidden City

Chapter 46 She is not an ordinary child
That cry startled me.I looked at the child, she was lying in my arms and sleeping soundly, her peaceful appearance did not look like she had just spoken.But this is not the first time I have heard this voice, and I am not surprised, I just smiled and couldn't help but kissed the child's little cheek.

After waiting at the door of the mother and baby store for a while, Mu Yi finally came by driving a car and asked me if I wanted to eat. I thought that Ling Ziyao must be very anxious waiting for the child at home, so I said no need to eat, and asked her to take me back .She told me to get in the car.

After arriving in the car, Mu Yi looked at the child and asked, "Asleep?" I said yes.Mu Yi handed over a red envelope.I was stunned, but didn't answer, and asked in amazement: "What... what is this?" Mu Yi said, "For the child." Generally speaking, it's just getting to know each other, and she has always been very cold, but now she actually gave my child a red envelope, I couldn't believe it for a while.

"No need." I smiled and said, "I've accepted the gift." But Mu Yi put the red envelope on the child and said, "It's for the child, not for you." Then he started the car.

"Then...thank you." I had no choice but to put away the red envelope and feel it bulging, at least a thousand yuan.

Mu Yi asked: "How do you plan to take this child?"

"This..." I thought for a while and said, "It's like bringing a normal child."

Mu Yi said: "She is not an ordinary child."

"I know."

Mu Yi handed me another amulet made of two pieces of copper coins, and said solemnly: "This is a small gift from me to the child. You must let her wear it all the time and cannot take it off." I took it, Thank you again and again, and carefully put it on the child's neck.I thought it was just an ordinary amulet, so I didn't take it seriously.But later, a series of things happened, and I realized Mu Yi's kindness.

Next, Mu Yi didn't say anything, and drove the car very attentively.My heart was constantly agitated, thinking about how to bring up this child in the future, provide her with food and clothing, give her the best education, and marry when she grows up... I couldn't calm down for a long time.

The child had been sleeping all the way, and when she was about to get home, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked around, and then yelled.Mu Yi turned his head to look and asked, "Why are you crying again?" I picked up the bottle and stuffed it into the child's hand and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm hungry again." But the little guy doesn't need a bottle at all, just a baby crying hard.

"Maybe I miss my mother." I said.

After getting off the car, I hurried to my second uncle's house with the child in my arms.When I arrived at my second uncle's house, I thought that Ling Ziyao would definitely stand at the door and look up, but the door of my second uncle's house was tightly closed.A feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart, and I hurried to the door of my second uncle's house, only to find that there was a lock on the door.

Second uncle is not at home.

Why is Second Uncle not at home?Where did he go?What about Ling Ziyao?I turned around and walked towards my house, thinking she would be in my house, but when I opened the door and went in, the room was empty.

The uneasiness in my heart is getting more and more intense. Did something happen at home after Mu Yi and I left?And the child in his arms seemed to realize that his mother was gone, and cried even more fiercely. Mu Yi walked in and asked, "What's the matter?" I said that my second uncle and Ling Ziyao were not at home, and Mu Yi frowned and said, "Your second uncle Uncle not at home makes sense, but Ling Ziyao, she is a ghost, where can she go in broad daylight?"

"Something must have happened." I decided to go to the village to look for it.Mu Yi said: "The child must be hungry, first make some milk powder for her to eat."

I boiled a pot of boiling water and soaked half a bottle of milk powder. Mu Yi asked: "Why do you soak so much? Can the child eat it?" I said I could eat it, but probably not much.

However, when my baby bottle was stuffed into the child's mouth, she pushed it out with her tongue, still crying non-stop.I was upset, so I had to ask Mu Yi for help.Mu Yi said: "She is a ghost, and she is connected with her mother. It is estimated that something happened to Ling Ziyao."

Could it be that Lexus is here?
I hurried to the village to find my second uncle and Ling Ziyao.

I asked several people in a row, and they all said they didn't see the second uncle, but they all asked me in surprise who the child belonged to, and if it belonged to me and Mu Yi. Mu Yi followed me, with a blue face, obviously very unhappy.I'm too lazy to explain to them, and now I just want to find my second uncle and Ling Ziyao.

When he came to Uncle Zhou's house, Uncle Zhou also said he didn't see his second uncle. Cuihua squatted aside to play with Xiaohua. She heard my kid crying, stood up and said, "Is the child hungry? Did you go to buy milk powder?" I said I bought it.Cuihua said: "Then make it for her to eat quickly." I said it was soaked, but she refused to eat it.Cuihua said: "Then she probably misses her mother, by the way, where is her mother?" I blurted out: "I don't know where I went, I started to be with my second uncle, but now, my second uncle is gone."

At this time, Aunt Zhou came over with half a basket of red peppers and said, "Your second uncle you are talking about? I started to see him fighting with people."

"Fight?" My heart sank, and I hurriedly asked, "Who are you fighting with?"

Aunt Zhou said, "It seems to be that Mr. Ling."

I secretly screamed that it was not good, and it really was Ling Zhi who came!I knew that guy wasn't going to let it go.

Mu Yi asked: "Where did they fight?" Aunt Zhou said: "It seems to be at the door of Erqiao's house. Later, Erqiao locked the door and ran to the back mountain."

"What about Ling?" I asked hurriedly.

Aunt Zhou said: "It seems to be chasing after Erqiao." Uncle Zhou shook his head and sighed: "This Erqiao is over 30 years old. He doesn't ask for a wife and fights with others. Alas!" Mr. killed Wu Banxian and wanted to grab the amber coffin, so the second uncle fought him." Zhou Bo said: "Then the police must be called. If Mr. Ling dared to kill Wu Banxian, he would kill other people. The bridge will be very dangerous." He stood up and said, "I'll call the city and ask someone to arrest Mr. Ling." He went into the house to make a phone call.

I wanted to ask Aunt Zhou if she saw Ling Ziyao, but I thought it was inappropriate to ask, since Ling Ziyao is a ghost after all.After looking at each other with Mu Yi, I said: "Let's go to the back mountain to look for it." Mu Yi agreed, and we walked towards the back mountain.

It is conceivable that Lexus came for the amber coffin.He is very skilled, the second uncle is hard to be his opponent, and Lexus wants to put me and the second uncle to death, the second uncle didn't know to go to the village to call for help, but went to the back mountain stupidly, Lexus is better If he strikes, I'm afraid that the second uncle is in danger now.

The child was still crying, and I was so upset that I shouted at her: "Baby, don't cry, your father is worrying me." The little ghost seemed to understand my words, and stopped crying. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He looked at me with tears in his eyes, looking very innocent.Mu Yi looked at the little ghost, hesitant to speak.

The back mountain is located at the back of the village, with a height of [-] meters. The mountain is full of trees and is relatively steep. When we were young, we only herded cattle at the foot of the mountain. Few people go to the mountain. I heard that the mountain is always foggy. The place is also surrounded by white mist, which makes it easy for people to get lost and unable to get down.

It suddenly occurred to me that with the wit of the second uncle, he would not run to the back mountain for no reason. Could it be that he deliberately lured Ling Zhi to the mountain and then trapped Ling Zhi in the mountain?

At the foot of the mountain, there is a road about one meter wide winding up the mountain.There is a ditch in the middle of the road, which is formed by the water flowing down from the mountain when it rains.

Before going up the mountain, I told Mu Yi about the situation on the mountain. I went to the mountain to find my second uncle and told her to wait for me at the foot of the mountain.Mu Yi disagreed, and said he would go up with me, because Ling Zhi was very powerful, if I met him, I would definitely not be able to beat him, and he had another child in his arms, so I couldn't escape even if I wanted to.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yi still thought of me everywhere, I was very moved, and said to her: "You are so kind, why not just be my daughter's godmother." Mu Yi smiled lightly and said: "This... ...Let’s talk about it later.” She finished speaking and walked ahead.

After walking about ten steps, Mu Yi suddenly stopped, her eyes were fixed on the top of the road, I asked her what was wrong, she said softly: "Someone is coming down from above." Sure enough, footsteps came from above.The pace is hurried, presumably the other party is walking very fast.

After a while, a figure came down from the woods, I took a closer look, it was the second uncle!I hurriedly called out: "Second uncle!" The second uncle saw Mu Yi and me, startled for a moment, then asked with a dark face: "You——why are you here?" I asked back, "Where's Ziyao?" Uncle came down, looked at the child in my arms and said, "Aren't you at home?"

at home?Could it be at the second uncle's house?

I saw that the left side of my second uncle's face was red and swollen, so I asked, "Are you okay? Where's the surname Ling?"

The second uncle asked back: "What is the surname Ling?" I said, aren't you fighting with him?Then he asked in a low voice: "Did you kill him on the mountain?" The second uncle glared at me and cursed: "You bastard, nonsense, I didn't see him at all, how did you kill him?"
