Chapter 4 Delaying time and avoiding danger



[Damn! What a huge pot!] Gao Zhi cursed secretly.

Gao Miao glanced at Gao Zhi, then looked at Xie, "Mom, you and Jiaojiao are here, I'll go out and take a look."

Xie was worried, "Xiao Miao."

Gao Miao gave Xie a reassuring smile, "It's okay. I won't let them hurt you and Jiaojiao."

He was too young before and couldn’t protect his family.

Never again in the future!

He is now the seven-year-old Gao Miao, and even more so the twenty-eight-year-old Xie Jingan.

Why didn't his memory awaken earlier so that he could give Gaozhi another name.

But it’s not too late now.

Things come one by one.

Gao Miao came out of the house, and when his cold eyes fell on the Gao family standing in the front, a huge hatred flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed it.

Old Mrs. Gao was the first to jump out. She was full of malice, but at this moment she acted kindly and lovingly towards her grandson.

"Xiao Miao, why are you so confused? That's a ghost baby, how could you bring her home? The ghost baby has a strong evil spirit, and all of us in the village will be hurt by it."

Other members of the Gao family also agreed.

Their instigation made the villagers even more agitated.

"Gao Miao, quickly hand over the ghost baby."

"This ghost baby must be burned, otherwise you will harm the whole village."

"Yes! Hand it over and burn the ghost baby to death."

Gao Zhi listened to the comments outside, which were getting louder and louder, and waved his fists in anger.

Xie was extremely anxious.

Gao Miao looked at the excited villagers and said calmly, "My fellow villagers, Jiaojiao is my adopted sister, not a ghost baby. When I went to look for my mother, she had already been rescued. That person asked me to adopt Jiaojiao and pointed out a clear path for our village.

I didn't believe it at first.

But the man said that lightning struck the roof of the village ancestral hall at noon today.

That was the sign and the beginning of disaster for our village.

He said, whether Jiaojiao can be well or not, will it represent whether the whole village can be well or not?

You may not believe it, but when it comes to dealing with a baby, it doesn't take too much time.

Let’s wait until noon and see whether what that person said is true or false?

What if it comes true?

Aren’t we destroying ourselves?”

Gao Miao looked at the oldest man outside the crowd and said, "Grandfather, you are the oldest elder in our village, someone we all respect. Xiao Miao, please give everyone some time."

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Many people have already said hello.

"Ancestor, there are ghost babies here, and the evil spirit is heavy. You are old, so I will help you go home first."

"Grandfather, don't listen to his nonsense. A ghost baby is just a ghost baby. How can there be so many tricks?"

“Ancestor…”

"Shut up!" The old man stomped his cane, "Just wait until noon. Before then, whoever dares to mess around will be punished by me."

The scene was silent.

In the village, no one dares to disobey the words of the ancestors.

The old ancestor is the village chief’s grandfather, and he is eighty years old this year.

He is the oldest person in Lao Zhuang Village since its establishment, and he is also the one with the highest seniority in their branch.

Therefore, all the villagers called him the ancestor.

The villagers came noisily and left quietly.

Because our ancestors are here.

Old Gao and his family also left.

Old Mrs. Gao was so scared that she didn't dare to enter the courtyard.

The baby was so weird, his right eye was so red it looked like it was going to burst and spurt blood.

After everyone had left, Xie came out holding Gao Zhi.

"Xiao Miao, what did you just say? Jiaojiao, is that true?"

"Mom, let's go inside and talk." Gao Miao was afraid that someone might be eavesdropping nearby.

Xie immediately understood what he meant and looked around cautiously, "Let's go inside and talk."

Gao Zhi's eyes showed admiration, "This mother and son are quite clever."

After entering the house, Gao Miao and his mother leaned their heads against each other and talked in low voices, with Gao Zhi, who was in Xie's arms, between them.

Gao Miao: "Mom, if I say that, they will snatch Jiaojiao away, and we mother and son can't beat them. I can only use this method to delay them for now."

"Drag..." Xie was anxious, "Then let's pack up quickly and take Jiaojiao away."

Gao Miao held onto Xie, "Mom, we don't have to leave!"

"You're not leaving?" Mrs. Xie was really confused by Gao Miao. Looking at Gao Miao, Mrs. Xie groaned, "Oh my, you're still a child, how could I... Hurry up! Pack up, let's go!"

She was really confused.

How could she listen to a child?

No one will believe the bluffing words the child says.

And it won’t come true.

By noon, Jiaojiao could no longer survive.

Gao Miao went to stop Xie again, "Mom, we can't leave!"

"Can't leave?" Xie was shocked.

Gao Miao nodded seriously, "Although I persuaded them to leave, they will send people to keep an eye on our house."

Even if the villagers don't keep an eye on them, Old Gao and his family will.

If they pack up and leave, they will be lying and guilty.

If she is caught, Jiaojiao will really die.

Xie was so panicked that she stepped back repeatedly, "What should we do then?"

Xie became anxious and forgot that she had just said Gao Miao was a child.

Gao Miao was not impatient, "Wait! Wait until noon."

Xie was so frightened that she sat down on the stool, her face pale and beads of cold sweat on her forehead.

She lowered her head to look at Gao Zhi in her arms, "Jiaojiao can't die! Xiao Miao, you said that if it wasn't for Jiaojiao's mother's jade bracelet in exchange for ginseng to keep me alive, I would have died.

So, Jiaojiao is our mother and I’s savior.

Nothing can happen to her!"

Gao Miao nodded, "She will be fine! Mom, I had a dream when I was unconscious. I dreamed of a scene just like what happened before. The villagers wanted to burn Jiaojiao to death, and they put her on the firewood pile.

The fire had just been lit and it was noon.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the roof of the village ancestral hall.

We have no choice but to try.”

A dream?

Can dreams be taken seriously?

Now not only was Xie anxious to the point of crying, Gao Zhi also wanted to beat Gao Miao.

[Little brat, are you kidding me about my life? You take a dream seriously? If I get burned into a suckling pig, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost.

What a heartless little thing!

I saved you two with the spiritual spring water. 】

Gao Miao tried hard to maintain his expression and pretended not to hear Gao Zhi's roar.

Spiritual spring water? Is this something that can cure all diseases?

Where did this little guy come from?

Why could a little baby like her survive for several days in a mass grave?

Obviously it’s not just because she has the spiritual spring water.

Spiritual spring water cannot be used as a weapon.

Sudden!!!

Gao Miao's mind suddenly lit up and he remembered the jade bracelet.

The mass grave was pitch black at night, but he seemed to be led behind the pile of earth by some special force. He could see the jade bracelet at a glance because it emitted a faint light.

And that light...

Four!

The work of Si Ke.

Si Ke is nearby, so why doesn't he show up?

What does it mean that Si Ke brought himself to this little baby?
