The people who went directly to Li Qi asked him to hand over Bao'er so as not to harm the whole village.

If one person is looking for it, a second person will also look for it, and more and more people will be found one after another.Even people from several nearby villages rushed over when they heard about the incident and were afraid of being affected.A large group of people gathered around the gate of Li Qi's yard, shouting for Bao'er to be handed over.

Most people in the village firmly believe in the theory of demons and ghosts.In their eyes, reincarnation retribution and the theory of gods and ghosts are all taken for granted.The atmosphere in Old Uncle Li's family was cold, the two daughters-in-law were holding their children and crying, Aunt Li had an ugly face, Li Hong was hesitant to speak, and the two sons were silent beside them.

Old Uncle Li took a puff of his dry cigarette, put his pipe on the foot of the stool to touch the ashes, and then said slowly, "I've lived most of my life, but I've only seen man-eating people, but I've never seen this man-eating monster."

Li An's daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is also relatively strong. She immediately wiped her tears and said, "Father, even if you don't think about us adults, you can't ignore the number of grandchildren, right?" On Li Xi's little face, her poor child was weeping secretly.

Li Ding's wife saw that Li An's daughter-in-law started first, and immediately continued, "That's right, Dad, are you going to let your grandson die at such a young age?" He said: "Poor my two children, they are only a few months old, and they will go with them."

Li Ding looked at his daughter-in-law crying, his face was very ugly, although he also believed in ghosts and gods, but under his father's teaching since he was a child, he still knew that one should be worthy of one's conscience.

Li Hong knew that the elder sister-in-law was really worried about the children, but her second sister-in-law, who is not a fuel-efficient lamp, felt even more uncomfortable seeing her sister-in-law like that. Sister-in-law doesn't have to cry here, it's a great story, but who has actually seen Bao'er, and the second sister-in-law is not afraid of wasting tears for this unseen incident."

After hearing Li Hong's words, Li Ding's daughter-in-law stopped crying immediately, and looked at Li Hong, "I don't like to hear my sister-in-law say that, besides, you and Lin Da are already engaged, and you will be married in a few months." You are married, of course you are not afraid that this monster will come out and eat people someday."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law and daughter were about to quarrel, Aunt Li pulled Li Ding's wife down and scolded, "Li Ding's wife, don't say a word and no one will think you are dumb." The monster, looking at the few grandchildren again, felt uncomfortable for a while.

Li Ding's daughter-in-law suddenly felt aggrieved, and felt that everyone was targeting her. She looked at her husband, but turned around and ignored her. She felt that she had no place in this family, and she shouted again, "Okay, you guys They are all in the same family, so they all target me." Pointing to Li Ding again, "Tell me, I have no hope of marrying you."

Li Ding's daughter-in-law was making a fuss, and old Uncle Li knocked his pipe heavily on the table, making a "bang" sound, "Don't say a word to me. This monster hasn't come out yet, but you are all making trouble for me one by one. "

Everyone fell silent, Old Uncle Li pointed at Li An, and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Li An was named, and under the tearful gaze of his wife and the eyes of several other people, he said bravely, "I don't think people in the village can burn Bao'er." After all, Li An was in the town Working in the restaurant, I came into contact with a lot of people. I still vaguely feel that this man-eating monster is not credible, but I can't give any reason.

Old Uncle Li nodded and said, "I don't think so either."

"Father—" Li Ding's daughter-in-law wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Ding.

Old Uncle Li took a puff of his pipe and continued, "Since you shouldn't, let's go." He stood up and walked towards Li Qi's courtyard.The two sons worried that their father would not be hurt by the excited villagers later, so they hurriedly followed.Li Hong was relieved to see her two elder brothers and father gone. She was already worried about Bao'er and Li Qi, so she immediately followed.

The two daughters-in-law saw that their father-in-law and husband really went to stop the villagers from burning the monster to death. The eldest daughter-in-law hugged her son tightly, as if the monster was about to snatch her away. The second daughter-in-law fell limply on the ground, muttering " It's over, it's over."Aunt Li saw that the two daughters-in-law were acting like a mother herself, so of course she could understand, so she comforted, "It's okay, this monster is rumored outside, although I know if it's true or not." Even so, she felt uneasy, She had seen Bao'er's belly with her own eyes, and it was indeed swollen. At first she thought she was getting fat.

……

People in this village kept clamoring outside, even though Li Qi tried his best to hide Bao'er, he still let Bao'er know.

Li Qi had never seen Bao'er in such a panic.He shrank in the corner, hugged his stomach tightly, his face was pale, and his big eyes were full of panic.Li Qi walked over, as if afraid of scaring him, said softly, "Don't be afraid, Bao'er, I will protect you, and you will be fine soon."

Bao'er raised his head, looked at Li Qi blankly, and asked, "Why do they say our cub is a monster? They made a mistake. This is my cub, he is not a monster."

Li Qi hugged him into his arms, "You are right, this is our cub, not a monster."

Bao'er hugged Li Qi back, leaned her head on Li Qi's shoulder, and said aggrievedly, "They want to burn our cubs to death."

Li Qi stroked his head and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, no one will burn our cubs to death." My heart ached, silly Bao'er, these villagers didn't just want to burn his so-called "cubs to death." ", to be burned to death together with him.But he only thought of Zai Zai, who he was looking forward to wholeheartedly. Li Qi felt guilty that he had never felt guilty before. He was the one who bullied Bao'er into losing his memory, and made Bao'er misunderstand like this all the time.

Li Qi let go of Bao'er, walked to the cabinet, opened it, took out the wooden box that Bao'er dug out before, and put it on the table.Open the lid of the box, and take out the plaque with the word "Mu" engraved with Fenglongwu Jiutian.Thumb lightly caressed the lines on the sign, if it really didn't work, I could only take out this one.

Bao'er saw Li Qi take out the sign from the box, and asked, "What are you doing with this?"

The yelling of the villagers outside became louder and louder, and there was even the sound of smashing the door. I am afraid that the villagers could not hold back and planned to break open the door and break in.

Li Qi put the sign in his arms, and stroked Bao'er's face, "Don't come out no matter what sounds you make, just stay indoors and hide."

Bao'er grabbed Li Qi who was about to go out, and said in panic, "Where are you going, don't go out." Although he didn't know many things, he still knew that going out now would definitely be dangerous.

The sound of banging on the door outside became louder and louder, Li Qi pulled away his hand that was gripping the corner of his clothes, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be back soon."

Li Qi opened the courtyard door, pretending to be ignorant and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the so-called fellow villagers came to see Li Qi."

When the villagers saw Li Qi coming out, they finally stopped smashing the door. One of them came out and said, "Mr. Li, we won't make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over your cousin, we will leave." Not a villager from a small mountain village, about 50 to [-] years old, dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes. "

Li Qi flicked the hem of his clothes, and said with a smile, "I don't know what my cousin did wrong that caused everyone to be so angry. If it is really my cousin's fault, Li Qixian will apologize to everyone here, please forgive me."

Some people in the village were already uneasy and had a guilty conscience, but after hearing what Li Qi said, they were a little shaken.That Bao'er really didn't do anything evil, they really had no reason to burn such a big living person to death for no reason.Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man said immediately, "Mr. Li is a scholar, we can't say no to you, but everyone knows that your cousin has a monster in his belly, if one day the monster comes out, it will eat people .”

The villagers, who were a little shaken at first, were provoked again when they heard the man mentioned the man-eating monster. It was the same sentence, who could not care about this matter of life and death.

Li Qi looked at that person, staring at him closely, and said, "I don't know who this is?"

The man took a few steps back from Li Qi's stare, and stammered, "I...I...I'm Wang Fu from the next village."

Li Qi casually glanced at some familiar faces in the village, and said with a smile, "I don't know that even the people from the next village got involved in the affairs of our village." Looking at Wang Fu again, he said, "Wang Fu is Well, have you ever seen what a monster looks like?"

Wang Fu stammered, "No... I haven't seen it before." After speaking, he puffed up his chest and salivated and said with a smile, "Mr. Li was joking, seeing the monster, can I still live?"

Li Qi looked at him, "I haven't seen a monster before, so how do I know that Bao'er's belly is a monster."

Wang Fuqian laughed twice, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "This man has a big belly, and there is a living thing inside, isn't it a monster?"

Li Qi stared at him sharply, "How do you know there is a living thing in Bao'er's stomach?"

That Wang Fu swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself that this is really not a good job, he simply shouted, "Folks, the monster is inside, this monster can eat people, let's break in and put The monsters were captured and burned to death so that we could escape."

When the villagers heard his provocation, they all started to quarrel, and they really wanted to break in from the situation.Li Qi put his hands on his chest, his palms were sweating, he wasn't sure that the villagers could recognize the sign, he just hoped that the news would get out as soon as possible, so someone would come to rescue him soon.

Li Qi was about to take out the sign, so he
