As the sky was getting dark, Li Baolu hesitated between continuing to walk and stopping, and finally decided to crawl out as well.

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

If you stay, you may encounter poisonous insects and beasts, and if you continue walking, you may get lost. After all, you can't see at night, and many traces are submerged in the night.

Both of them may lose their lives, but she is willing to bet that her grandmother will not give up on her, and also bet on her own ability.

Li Baolu found dry branches to make a torch before it was completely dark, took out the flint and carefully lit the torch, and the little person held the torch not much shorter than her and walked forward with difficulty...

With the light of the torch, Wan saw the forest in front of him clearly, and his heart fell continuously until he sank to the bottom of the valley.

This is the densest and most dangerous forest in the vicinity, because there are ferocious beasts coming and going, 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, something might happen.

Wan Shi felt pain and anger in his heart, no longer caring about his son's face, turned around and slapped him, then grabbed the torch from one of them and rushed into the woods.

The villagers who followed to find someone were silent, and the one in front grabbed Wan Shi quickly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Auntie, I'm afraid the child will fail, the mountains are dangerous, you should think of yourself more..."

Wan's heartbroken and hurt when she heard the words, she couldn't help crying out, "Baolu, Baolu—"

"God, you are unfair. My Li family saved lives and healed the wounded. I have never done anything wrong. Why are you so ruthless that you even accept such a small child..." Wan fell to the ground crying, unable to straighten his back due to heartache Come.

Everyone was moved when they heard the words, and they all looked at Li Hong with some unkind eyes.

The place they were looking for was changed from the cemetery to here, and the people were not fools. They knew with their toes that Li Hong didn't want to raise his niece, so they threw them into the mountains.

This heart is cruel enough to let the child die without a whole body.

But drowning children in this world is a common thing, there is no way, everyone can't afford to support them, so they can only drown.

If the parents do this, at most everyone thinks that their family's life is difficult enough, but if the uncle does it, it is inevitable that this person has a bad character.

Of course, every household in this village is exiled criminals or after criminals, so there are no good people, but bad people have a bottom line.

What's more, the Li family's popularity in the village is indeed good.

Everyone knows that the Li family was exiled here not because of their own crimes, but because they offended the imperial concubine and concubine in the palace because of saving people. Moreover, Li Bo's doctor's parents believed that if anyone in the village came to him when he was sick, even if he couldn't get the doctor's money They will also help to prescribe medicines, and sometimes even support some herbal medicines.

Not to mention Li Kang, he was bright and righteous, and 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, but they were willing to help find someone because they wanted him to be kind. Seeing Wan's grief like that, and thinking that Li Baolu was only a three-year-old child, Li Hong was able to do it. One must know that Li Baolu was so pampered and raised by Li Kang and his wife. There is no cuter child in the whole village.

If they really can't afford to support their children, they won't talk about it. The key point is that everyone knows that Li Kang and his wife are capable. How much property has they left for the Li family? How much can Li Baolu use for one child?

It's just a cruel person who deducts some food and clothing, and raises her until she is thirteen or fourteen to marry off. Why bother to kill her?

It is the only blood left by the elder brother.

Many people felt that Li Hong should not be friends with.

Wan's bit his lips until blood was drawn, regretting that he didn't teach his children well and ended up hurting his granddaughter.

She looked up at the dark forest that looked like a monster with its mouth wide open, clenched her fists, turned her head and glared at her son bitterly, pushed away those who blocked her, and went inside...

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

But Wan put away the grief on his face, and said lightly: "I am old, and I have only been living for the past few years, but what face do I have to see A Kang and his wife after I die? Why don't I chase him now?" Shang Baolu, I couldn't protect her when she was alive, but I can always make a way for her when she gets to the underworld."

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

Everyone looked at her back in silence.

Li Hong's face was ashen, he watched his mother go to the mountains as if she was going to die, and felt resentful in her heart, am I not your son?

For a dead granddaughter to strip his face and step on the ground in public, has she ever thought about his situation?

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

This is a place of exile, Li Hong reminded himself in his heart, offending Li's favorite concubine, it would be nothing more than a dream for his family to return to the capital or hometown, so why should he care about the illusory reputation?

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

People are good and deceived by others, and only when they are a little bit evil can they deter others.

Li Hong kept looking for reasons for himself in his heart, but he forgot that villains also have things to disdain.

However, Li Hong killed his niece first, and let his mother die later, which can be described as unrighteous, unfraternal and filial. Although everyone didn't want to cause trouble, they faintly began to exclude him.

Wan Shi went into the woods, and everyone knew that she went in with the determination to die. Thinking of the hard times, and with such a son, it was hard to say whether it was better to live or die, so no one stopped her. Just hold the torch and quietly watch her disappearing direction...

Wan Shi looked at the dark forest in front of her, and she could only see five steps in front of her while holding the torch high. Baolu was so small, so she didn't know why she was afraid.

Wan wiped away tears, raised her waist and walked in, muttering as she walked, "Bao Lu, grandma is here to accompany you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

And Baolu was also struggling to get out with the torch whose light was fading. She heard her grandmother calling her just now, but after only two rings, she couldn't hear anything. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

After calling "Grandmother" twice, Baolu was sure that the voice she heard just now was her hallucination, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, the whole villain seemed to be wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

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

Except for the halo around her body, the place her eyes can see is darkness, and some trees look like ghosts against the firelight. If Li Baolu's mind is not strong enough, even if she is not crazy, she will go astray in a panic.

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

When Li Baolu heard the rustling sound, she thought she had encountered a ferocious beast, her face turned pale, her body shortened, and she squatted directly on the ground, hesitating whether to blow out the torch when she vaguely heard the sound of someone talking.

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

She didn't care about distinguishing between reality and illusion, she jumped up and shouted: "Grandmother!"

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

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

Wan Shi was almost going crazy with joy, she held a torch and ran towards the sound.

There were many trees and shrubs in the woods, so Baolu simply stood still and called "Grandma, I'm here" to determine Wan's position.

Wan Shi walked through the woods for half an hour before seeing Little Baolu who was holding a torch. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward and hugged him.

Wan Shi held Baolu in his arms, tears fell on her shoulders, holding the lost and recovered treasure, Wan Shi promised her in a low voice: "Good boy, we are not afraid, grandma will definitely protect you in the future." !"

Li Baolu hugged Wan Shi's neck, pouted and complained: "Second Uncle said he would take me to find my father and mother. After walking a long distance, Second Uncle said that he was going to pee and asked me to wait there. But he disappeared in a blink of an eye, and I waited for a long time for him not to come, so I had to come out by myself."

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

Wan Shi felt resentment in her heart, and said, "Don't believe your second uncle's words in the future, you know?"

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

"I made it myself," Li Baolu took out all the things in the small backpack to show to her grandmother, and said proudly, "I can make many things."

A strange feeling rose in Wan's heart. Baolu hadn't woken up for a long time, and she had never made a torch 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 these things for her.

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

Wan's heart was shattered, he looked up and asked, "Where are your parents?"

Baolu shook her head, "They're gone, they disappeared as soon as grandma called me."

With tears in her eyes, Wan hugged Baolu tightly, and murmured: "Your parents are worried about you, Kanger, don't worry, mother will definitely arrange for Baolu, this is your blood, and you can do whatever you want." I saved it for you..."

In this way, Baolu's weirdness was also explained, Wan looked at her lovingly, maybe it was Kang'er and his wife who made the child smart, otherwise how could Baolu become smart as soon as they died?

Wan Shi found the explanation by himself and stopped worrying about it. He hugged Baolu and went out.
