It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

The big rat continued to chirp, "Squeak squeak squeak..."

For several months in a row, the baby drank the blood of its mother. It was really hard for the rat to understand how the baby's mother could keep living, since she ate less than the rat every day and bled every day.

A few months later, the baby grew teeth, and the baby's mother began to chew her own flesh and feed it to the baby.

Sun Tianxiang's scalp began to tingle as she listened; that little guy had actually grown up eating his mother's flesh and blood.

If people found out, he'd probably be branded a monster.

Mu Qian noticed that her face had turned pale, so he lowered his head and asked softly what was wrong.

Sun Tianxiang whispered to him what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qian's expression also turned ugly.

But his grim expression wasn't because of the act of eating flesh and blood itself, but because he hadn't expected the little one and her mother to be going through such a difficult time.

The big rat was still chirping, "Squeak, squeak..."

As the little one grows older and learns to crawl, she will crawl around catching and eating insects, no matter what kind of insect it is.

I don't know if it's because her body is too peculiar or what, but she swallowed the poisonous centipede and was actually fine.

Sun Tianxiang couldn't help but vomit a few times when she thought of the scene of chewing a raw centipede.

Those bad things don't give the little kids anything to eat; they only feed them insects and grass.

Poor thing.

"Chirp chirp chirp..." Ancestor, the little brat has eaten rice, she's taken all the grains from my mouse hole.

The big rat glanced at the rat that had interrupted, and squeaked...

The ancestor is speaking, don't interrupt.

The big rat looked at Sun Tianxiang and continued, "Squeak squeak..."

One day last year, the little boy suddenly died for some reason, and then came back to life.

The little girl who came back to life was terrifying; she spent several days killing everyone in the village.

They didn't even spare the dogs.

Oh, and she also made her mother disappear.

Sun Tianxiang asked in confusion, "Did you make her mother disappear?"

"Chirp chirp..."

Yes, with a wave of her hand, her mother disappeared.

Sun Tianxiang still didn't understand, but she also knew that it was unrealistic to expect the rat to explain what was going on.

"Go on!"

The big rat glared with its rat-like eyes and squeaked, "Squeak squeak squeak..."

Humans and rats have both said their piece, so you can't go back on your word.

Sun Tianxiang frowned slightly. Was that all?

"You haven't told us the little one's name and age yet."

The big rat thought for a moment and then said, "Squeak squeak..."

The little girl is eight years old and has many names. Some call her a bastard, some call her a illegitimate child...

Sun Tianxiang frowned. Eight years old?

It's a bit hard to believe, but considering the little guy's size and experience, it seems possible for an eight-year-old to look like a three-year-old.

My heart aches for this child, so young...

"Think about it again, does she really not have any other names?"

The big rat was really going all out for the grain, looking thoughtful as it recalled something.

This took a long time, a good ten minutes or so, before it finally remembered another name.

"Chirp...chirp chirp..."

"Yunli, the little girl's mother gave her a name called Yunli."

Having received the information she wanted, Sun Tianxiang stopped asking questions, and the four of them made a special trip to the county to transport more than 300 catties of grain.

The big rat that received the grain also told Sun Tianxiang two pieces of news, one insignificant and the other earth-shattering.

"Chirp...chirp..."

The little girl came back later and dug up the villagers' graves, took things from them, and threw them into the latrine.

Also, there was a weasel that protected the village, but it left with a child named San Niu more than ten years ago.

Oh, and the little guy also suffocated the entire family of three stinky weasels with his stench.

On her way back to the county, Sun Tianxiang told Mu Qian, Lin Shu, and Zhang Chong about the news she had received.

Upon learning that such a thing as a guardian spirit existed in the world, they were all so shocked that their minds were reeling.

Upon returning to the county, Mu Qian immediately called the bureau and explained the situation.

The director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs immediately issued an order: the person named San Niu must be found.

At the same time, they are searching for Yun Jiaoyue, a capitalist's daughter who disappeared nine years ago.

The big rat said that Yun Jiaoyue was drugged by San Niu and sent to the village.

It is reasonable to infer that this San Niu is the same person as the San Niu who left with the guardian spirit.

Mu Qian, Sun Tianxiang, and Lin Shu stopped pursuing Yun Li and instead accepted another mission concerning the country.

As for Zhang Chong, he joined the search for Yun Jiaoyue and San Niu.

……

Liulipo

After staying at the brigade leader's house for about half an hour, Li Chutou hurriedly left, clutching the letter of introduction and the money he had exchanged for work points, and headed towards the village entrance.

The captain stood at the door watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, his face calm, but his eyes filled with blessings.

The figure disappeared, and the captain felt disappointed again.

The team is missing a capable worker, so we need to motivate the other team members to fill the gap.

Li Luwei waited at the village entrance with her younger siblings. When they saw their father approaching from afar, they happily went to greet him.

"father……"

Li Chutou quickly carried his youngest son on his back and tied him up, while holding the hands of his third and fourth sons.

Then he said to his eldest daughter and second son, "Come on, Dad will take you to find your grandparents."

The children cheered happily.

Li Chutou made a shushing sound.

The children immediately covered their mouths.

After walking for a while, Li Chutou looked back. This village was where he grew up, but it was also the place where he had experienced most of his tragic life.

He had just thought about reporting the case to the police, but then he remembered what the child said last night—that the Li family hadn't switched him. Even if he reported it, he figured the worst he'd get was a charge of buying and selling.

It's best not to alert him, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to take away so many children unharmed.

Yun Li did not leave last night, but stayed in a secluded place watching over the family of six.

Along the way, she encountered many human traffickers. It was very unsafe for Li Chutou to be taking five children alone, so she decided to escort them back to H City.

With a letter of introduction and money, Li Chutou successfully arrived at the train station, bought a ticket, and boarded the train.

As the train slowly pulled away, Li Chutou felt incredibly at peace. The place this train was heading to was, for him, a land of hope.

Yun Li evaded the fare again, sneaking onto the bus by following behind the other adults.

She used her mental power to find an empty sleeper berth and sneaked in. While in the berth, Yun Li kept a close eye on the five children with her mental power.

Human traffickers are truly everywhere these days, and the youngest of the five children in the Li family has been targeted.

Yun Li wanted to kill someone, but she knew she shouldn't cause any trouble at this time, so she reported it to the train police.

They finally caught the human traffickers posing as a family of three and also rescued another baby.

Next, Yun Li remained motionless in the corner of the sleeper berth, using her mental energy to shield herself.

Because the train police officer was looking for her.

Using his mental abilities, the train police officer inquired around the train and learned that no one else had lost a child, and no one recognized the child based on the descriptions.

He immediately became alert; this child was probably not the little dwarf who specialized in dismembering human traffickers.

Unable to find Yun Li, he immediately notified the stations behind him to arrange for a manhunt.

In the end, things still took an unexpected turn.

It's better to just take action decisively.

At the first station, as soon as the train stopped, Yun Li used his mental power to see that people quickly came to guard each window of the train.

The same applies to the doors of each car.

Yun Li sighed. Once she arrived in H City, how would she leave? Even if she hid in her spatial dimension, she would still have to get off the train first.

Of course, you can jump off the bus halfway, but that would mean losing track of Li Chutou's family.

She has five children to care for, and there's a risk of losing them if she's not careful. She doesn't feel at ease unless she takes them to a safe place.

She didn't know how long it would take to reach H city, and she didn't dare to think about the plan in detail.

Finally, they decided to ask Li Chutou to cover for them.
