Yun An'an slept very soundly that night, but a certain Wangye had a very restless sleep.
It wasn't just Beichen Yi who was going through this torment, but also the thirty-one men from the first-class Ding class who had been thrown into the depths of the mass grave.
On a moonless night, the stars shone so brightly, like sparkling gems within easy reach.
At this time, the students of Class A and below in Ding Ban were utterly unable to appreciate the beauty of the night sky. All they could hear were the wind howling like a ghostly shriek and the chilling caws of crows.
"I think I stepped on something"
Frowning, Xue Mucheng crouched down to get a closer look at what he was stepping on.
Not until he crouched down and got a good look at the white skull did he jump back in fright, failing to notice the protruding animal rib bone behind him.
"Be careful!"
At a critical moment, Xue Qiancheng grabbed Xuedu City, preventing the startled Xuedu City from being pierced through the heart by the rib bone.
"Thank you... thank you!"
"Don't move, I checked the surroundings during the day, there should be a dilapidated wooden house nearby."
Xue Qiancheng commanded the crowd not to panic. In this situation, only calmness would do. Although he was terrified deep down.
"Wow!"
A baby's cry echoed through the night, piercingly loud and causing shivers of cold down everyone's spines.
"It couldn't be an infant spirit, could it I heard that there are countless abandoned children in the mass grave. Their souls wouldn't disperse, and their resentment gathered together to form infant spirits."
When people are afraid, the more they fear something, the more their minds will visualize it as a terrible thing.
"Qi Ming, is your arm healed Want me to knock off your left one at a discount"
"It hurts, but I can't feel the pain anymore."
In the heart, filled with terror and fear, the pain of wounds had already been overcome.
Although they were just teenagers, full of youthful energy, even they couldn't help but feel fear in this place where death gathered.
"No, you guys listen It sounds like there's a real child crying."
Wen Xiu motioned for everyone to be silent and listened carefully to the sounds around them.
After walking hundreds of meters following the intermittent sound in the darkness, a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes was lying on the muddy and wet ground crying loudly.
In the blurry haze, Yu Wenxiu saw a baby covered in blood from head to toe. It seemed like a newborn that had been abandoned not long ago.
It's a boy.
The infant was so thin and pitiful, shivering from the cold.
Yuwenshu took off his long robe and wrapped the swaddled infant, searching everywhere for the person who had abandoned the baby.
"Stop looking, the person who threw the child has already left, you wouldn't even find them if you tried."
What are we going to do Are we just going to stay outside with the child all night Even if he doesn't freeze to death, he'll cry himself to sleep.
Qi Ming glanced at the baby Wen Xiu was holding in his arms.
"Crying so miserably, are you hungry Does anyone here have any food"
You're daydreaming. We should eat something since we're starving, even worse than a baby right now.
They were brought to the burial ground by Yun An'an early in the morning. They didn't even have anything to eat, let alone a drop of water.
"What shall we do"
"What else can I do, just wait."
One person looked at another, Wen Xiu was still holding a crying baby in his arms. The young men were all filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.
Finally, after a grueling night of toil, a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.
Outside Yi Wangfu, Yun Anan sat on horseback, leisurely looking at the medical book in her hand and asking Qingfeng about what happened last night at the mass grave.
"Your Highness, I did not frighten them."
Qingfeng told Yun'anan everything that happened at the mass grave in detail.
Yesterday, he was planning to put on a scary show and scare those kids into peeing their pants. But when he got there, he saw them gathered in a circle, keeping a baby warm.
"A baby"
Where did the little baby come from
"These were found by Yuwen Xiu, last night in the burial ground. They must have been abandoned by some wealthy family's daughter who became pregnant before marriage, weren't they"
Such things are commonplace. That little baby was lucky to have encountered a student from Class A, otherwise he would have become another innocent soul lost in the mass grave.
"Stop by the steamed bun shop."
Okay.
At this moment, on the chaotic burial ground, everyone huddled together, with Uwen Xiu at their center. Uwen Xiu held a tired infant in his arms, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion and grief.
Tap tap tap!!!
The rhythmic clopping of hooves sounded like stones splashing on a still lake, instantly alerting everyone present.
"Family, you're finally here!!!"
A day and a night of torment, it was a scene they had never experienced before.
Fear, disgust, anxiety... all sorts of emotions intertwined, making one experience what true despair felt like.
"Master, if you don't come soon, we'll really have to make our home in the mass grave."
Qi Ming and others already had injuries on them, and after all this commotion, they were close to death.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Wash up and eat some dinner."
A carriage was not only loaded with steamed buns and hot soup, but also a bucket of water and towels.
Even if she were heartless, she couldn't let Yuwen Xiu and his men eat buns with their bare hands after coming into contact with the corpse.
"Master Yun, what should we do with this child Last night, we found an abandoned infant in the burial ground."
The awakened infant cried again, a heart-wrenching wail, its body still stained with dried blood.
Yunan frowned, taking the infant from Wen Xiu's arms.
Go wash and have dinner first.
It's strange, when the little baby was held in Yun An'an's arms, it actually stopped crying. Its half-closed eyes looked at her and even smiled.
"Your Majesty, this child..."
What's wrong
Qingfeng pointed to the baby's brow.
In the land of Seven Kingdoms, infants born with a mark on their foreheads are considered harbingers of misfortune and disaster. It is understandable that they were abandoned to fend for themselves.
How could such a cute child be a disaster
Baby's cheeks trembled gently, the famished infant clutched Yun Anan's finger with its tiny hand and sucked on it.
"Master Yun, we coaxed all night and you didn't even hold us once."
Xu Qiancheng had two steamed buns, and the way he ate them was so fragrant. After glancing at Yun An'an and the quiet baby in her arms, he suggested that she adopt the baby.
"Do you think raising a child is that easy"
In the twenty-first century, she also thought about retiring from her life and finding a man who loved her and whom she loved to marry and have children of their own.
Watching children grow up gradually is a very happy thing.
It's a pity that this fantasy stopped there.
Besides, whether in the past or present, her living environment is not suitable for raising children.
Master Yun, could you please find a foster mother for the little one
"Let's see how it goes, I'll take care of some things first. After you finish eating, reply to the Tianshuyuan book club and continue guarding Luozanggang tomorrow."
"Oh... coming to the graveyard again, can't we go somewhere else!"ell, the blank scroll is gone."Jun Yan's smile remained serene, as if what he had lost wasn't a blank scroll but an ordinary sheet of white paper."Didn't you know already"Yunan looked at him suspiciou...
