Time passed by little by little, and Xie was extremely anxious, but she didn't know where Gao Miao had gone or when he would come back.

The people outside the yard were also anxious.

From time to time, they looked towards the gate of Xie's courtyard, and turned their heads to look towards the village ancestral hall.

Old Mrs. Gao looked up at the sky, a hint of pride in her triangular eyes.

"Look at the sky, it's cloudless and the sun can dry a person into jerky. Where did the thunder come from? Let them hand over the ghost baby. If the ghost baby stays in our village for one more day, we will be in danger for one more day."

The Gao family kept agreeing.

"Yes, hand over the ghost baby."

"The ghost baby must die today."

"Otherwise we will be the ones to die."

There are also people who have a good relationship with the Xie family and say some relatively fair things.

"It's still a quarter of an hour until noon. Why are you in such a hurry? We've been waiting for so long, and there's only a little more time left?"

"That's right, wait a little longer."

"It's too early to deal with it. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

The grass by the wall sometimes sticks to this side and sometimes sticks to that side.

Some are afraid of trouble and simply keep silent.

Xie listened to the noise outside and was so anxious that she was sweating all over.

She looked down at Gao Zhi in her arms.

Gao Zhi was also looking at her, grinning. His smile was enough to melt Xie's heart.

Xie's eyes turned red as she thought about her current situation.

"Jiaojiao, mother is useless! At this time, mother still doesn't know how to protect you?"

Gao Zhi was also deeply moved when he saw Xie like this.

They are not relatives.

But Xie and Gao Miao really treated her as a relative.

Xie's panicked eyes suddenly became determined. She came to the window at the back and said, "Be good, Jiaojiao, don't cry! Mother will take you out from the back, and we will run!"

There is no way!

Gao Miao hasn't come back, and it's almost noon.

She couldn't let those people outside burn her Jiaojiao.

She wants to run!

Run into the mountains and hide first.

We’ll figure out other things later.

Hearing this, Gao Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

This woman who attempted suicide yesterday is now willing to give up everything to take her away and keep her safe.

Gao Zhi was so moved that she wanted to cry.

She is a baby now, and if she wants to cry, her mouth will really pout.

Xie was shocked.

"Don't cry, my dear! If you cry, they will find us."

But Gao Zhi couldn't control herself and burst into tears.

Xie could only stop and coax her.

If you keep crying like this, you won't be able to run away.

His whereabouts were exposed immediately.

Gao Zhi's cry was so loud that the crows on the old tree next to Xie's house flapped their wings and flew away, screaming in fright, and the villagers outside the courtyard gate changed their faces in fear.

Old Mrs. Gao’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but think of that eye that was red as if it was about to drip blood.

"Ghost... The ghost baby is crying, we... ah..."

A crow fell from the sky and hit Old Lady Gao on the head with a bang. She was so scared that she jumped three times and screamed.

There was chaos outside.

Gao Miao put away his slingshot, climbed down from the tree behind the house while the chaos was going on, and swiftly climbed over the wall to enter the Xie family's house.

"Mom, I'm back."

Xie was so anxious that she cried. Seeing Gao Miao covered in sweat and mud, with a slingshot hanging on his waist, she put down Gao Zhi, pulled Gao Miao over and started beating him up.

"Where have you been, little brat? Do you know what time it is? It's almost noon and there are people everywhere outside. What do you think we should do?

What should Jiaojiao do?

I shouldn't have listened to you.

I should have taken Jiaojiao away in the morning."

Xie stopped beating him and cried, covering her face.

She is so stupid, how could she believe Gao Miao’s dream?

What now?

It's almost noon and I can't run away even if I want to.

Gao Miao was not angry at all when he was beaten. Instead, he felt sorry for Xie.

As far as he could remember, he had never been beaten by Xie. In his previous life, he was motherless and he dreamed of Xie beating him or scolding him.

"Mom, I'm out doing something important, don't worry. It's going to thunder soon, and Jiaojiao and I will be fine."

“……” Xie looked up at him, her face full of tears, and she hiccuped.

"Why are you still saying that?"

"Mom, believe me!" Gao Miao said with a serious face.

Xie looked at Gao Miao steadily. Seeing the certainty in Gao Miao's eyes, she actually had a feeling that her son seemed a little different?

**, Gao Zhi kicked his feet, turned his head to look at this scene, and couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyes.

[Boy, I met you guys, and you treated me like a family member. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. ]

Gao Miao turned his head and looked at Gao Zhi.

I thought to myself, "Jiaojiao, I won't let anything happen to you."

Old Mrs. Gao was frightened and hated the people in the room even more.

She goaded the villagers into rushing in.

"It's noon, Xie Xianglan, you hand over the ghost baby. You are the daughter-in-law of my Gao family, you brought the ghost baby home, are you trying to kill the people of our Gao family?

I was almost scared to death by that dead crow just now."

Others also reminded Xie and his friends loudly.

Gao Miao walked to the bed and picked up Gao Zhi.

He looked at Xie, who was in tears, and said, "Mom, wipe your tears. Don't be afraid of anything! God will not let good people be bullied.

We have to go out with our heads held high and we have to let them know.

Jiaojiao is not a ghost baby.

She is our blessing.

He is also a lucky child in the village."

Things have come to this point, and Xie has no other choice.

She wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and took Gao Zhi from Gao Miao's arms.

"Come on! Let's get out."

Big deal!

She accompanied Gao Zhi to death.

If she couldn't protect her child, she wouldn't let her die alone. If it weren't for that ginseng, she would have died long ago.

After figuring everything out, Xie was no longer anxious.

The mother and her two sons calmly came out to meet the villagers.

Xie looked towards the village ancestral hall and said, "It's almost noon, don't worry!"

The villagers said nothing.

Old Mrs. Gao was still very frightened when she looked at the baby in her arms.

It's almost noon.

But in just a short while, it seemed like every minute and every second passed very slowly.

It’s so quiet in the yard!

Everyone turned and looked towards the village ancestral hall.

The ancestors did not come to the Xie family, but they all stood not far from the village ancestral hall, looking at it.

The weather is really nice!

The sun is shining!

Will this really be a thunder?

Old Lady Gao secretly calculated the time. When noon came, she felt as if something in her head had clicked. There was no thunder. She looked at Xie and the others excitedly.

"It's noon, there's no thunder, bring the ghost baby here."

"Xie Xianglan, you are not a faithful wife and have brought shame to my Gao family. I have not yet settled the score with you. After I deal with the ghost baby, I will deal with you.

Don’t think you can escape…”

Old Lady Gao pushed Old Second Gao's wife and said, "Go and bring the ghost baby over. The Yang energy is at its peak at noon, so we should burn the ghost baby at this time. This way, the whole village will not be harmed by the evil spirit of the ghost baby."

Gao Laoer's wife nodded and walked away. The look she gave Xie was poisonous and full of hatred.

Xie hugged Gao Zhi tightly.

She wanted to step back, but Gao Miao's hand was on her back, silently supporting her.

Remind her that she can't retreat!

"Sister-in-law, please give the ghost baby to me, I will..."

As soon as Gao Laoer's wife's hand touched Gao Zhi, a loud bang was heard in the sky.
