    It's dark, don't go out.

    This sentence has been circulated in the disabled village for many years, but it is impossible to verify when it was passed down.  But this sentence is the truth, there is no need to doubt it.

    When Granny Si of Disabled Elderly Village saw the setting sun hiding behind the mountain, she felt nervous again.  As the sun set, the last ray of sunlight disappeared, and the sky and the earth suddenly became extremely silent, without any sound.  I saw the darkness slowly submerge from the west, devouring the mountains, rivers, roads, trees along the way, and then came to the disabled village and submerged the disabled village.

    There are four ancient stone statues erected at the four corners of Disabled Old Village. The stone statues are mottled and old. Even Granny Si doesn't know who carved these stone statues and when they were erected here.

    When darkness fell, the four stone statues emitted a faint light in the darkness, and the stone statues were still lit, which made Granny Si and the elders in the village heave a sigh of relief.

    The darkness outside the village became more and more intense, but with the light of the stone statue, Disabled Old Village was considered safe.

    Suddenly, Granny Si's ears moved, she was stunned, and lost her voice: "Listen, there is a child crying outside!"

    Old Ma next to him shook his head and said, "Impossible, you heard it wrong Hey, there is really a baby crying!"

    In the darkness outside the village came the cry of a baby. All the other old people in the village except the deaf heard the cry.

    "I gonna go see!"

    Granny Si became excited, and ran to a stone statue in the village on tiptoe. Mr. Ma hurried over: "Old lady Si, are you crazy? It's dark, and you will die if you leave the village!"

    "Come out of the village with this stone statue on your back. Things in the dark are afraid of the stone statue. I won't die for a while!"

    Granny Si bent down, trying to carry the stone statue on her back, but she was hunchbacked and couldn't.  Ma Lao shook his head: "I'll do it. I'll accompany you with the stone statue on my back!"

    Another old man limped over and said, "Master Ma, you only have one arm, and you won't be able to carry the stone statue for long. I have both hands, so I'll carry it."

    Ma Lao glared at him: "Cripple, you have a broken leg, can you walk? Although I only have one arm, this arm is very strong!"

    He picked up the stone statue with one arm and steadied his steps. The stone statue was unimaginably heavy: "Old lady Si, let's go!"

    "Don't call me a dead old woman! Lame, dumb, you all have to be careful, there is a stone statue missing in the village, don't be touched by things in the dark!"

    When Ma Lao and Si Granny walked out of the Disabled Old Village, there was some strange thing wandering around them in the darkness, but when they were illuminated by the light of the stone statue, they retreated into the darkness with strange squeaks.

    The two followed the crying sound, walked a hundred steps, and came to a big river. The baby's crying sound came from the river.  The stone statue exuded a faint light, and the light was not too far away. The two carefully caught the direction of the sound, and walked upstream along the river. After walking dozens of steps, the crying sound was nearby, and Ma Lao could hardly support it with one arm.  Granny Si's eyes lit up, and she saw a little fluorescent light. It was a basket parked on the bank of the river. The fluorescent light came from the basket, and the crying sound also came from the basket.

    "There really is a child!"

    Granny Si stepped forward and lifted the basket, but was slightly taken aback and failed to lift it up. Under the basket was an arm that was soaked white by the river water. It was this arm that held the basket and the child in it up until  shore.

    "Don't worry, the child is safe." Granny Si whispered to the woman underwater.

    The female corpse seemed to have heard her words, let go of her palms, was washed away by the river, and disappeared into the darkness.

    Granny Si lifted up the basket, and inside the basket was a baby in swaddling clothes, with a jade pendant on top of the swaddling clothes, the jade pendant emitted fluorescence.  The light of this jade pendant is similar to that of the stone statue, but much weaker. It is the jade pendant that protects the child in the basket from the things in the dark.

    It's just that the light of the jade pendant is very weak, it can only protect the child, but not the woman.

    "It's a boy."

    Back to Disabled and Elderly Village, all the villagers in the village surrounded him, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.  Granny Si lifted her swaddling clothes and took a look, then grinned, her broken teeth fell off: "We finally have a healthy person in our disabled village!"

    The cripple with only one leg said in surprise: "Old lady Si, are you planning to keep him? We can hardly support ourselves! I think it's better to send it out"

    Granny Si was furious: "The child that my mother picked up with her own ability, why did she give it away?"

    All the villagers were obedient and did not dare to refute her.Move, to go out is to die.  "

    Granny Si said solemnly: "The stone statues in the village will protect us, and things in the dark dare not enter the village."

    "Do other villages have stone statues like this?" Qin Mu asked curiously.

    Granny Si nodded, but her expression was a little worried. She kept looking outside the village and said in a low voice, "The cripple should be back I really shouldn't let the cripple go out. This guy only has one leg"

    "Grandma, something strange happened today"

    Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, and told the story of a woman getting out of the cow's stomach. Granny Si said casually, "You mean that woman? The cripple told me about it, and he handled it very well. You were weaned when you were four years old."  I said when I sold the cow, but you were reluctant, so I let you feed it. Look, something happened now? I said that you will have feelings for the cow if you eat it until it is four years old."

    Qin Mu blushed, weaning at the age of four is indeed a bit too long, but it seems that the key is not weaning at the age of four, right?

    "Grandma, that woman was killed by the lame grandpa"

    "Good kill."

    Granny Si smiled and said, "That's for her. She should have died eleven years ago. If she didn't want to nurse you, how could she have survived until now?"

    Qin Mu didn't know why.

    Granny Si glanced at him, and said: "This woman is the wife of the owner of Xianglong City thousands of miles away from here.  And every time the city lord of Xianglong violated the innocence of a woman, the wife of the lord of the city would send someone to beat the woman to death. I sneaked into the city of Xianglong, originally intending to kill her, but when I saw that she had just given birth to a child, the child died.  Three months later, I thought that you had no milk yet, but she had milk, so I turned her into a cow and came back to milk you. I just didn¡¯t expect this woman to break free from the seal and be able to speak, which almost killed you.¡±

    Qin Mu was dumbfounded, and lost his voice: "Grandma, how can a person become a cow?"

    Granny Si smiled, revealing part of her mouth and missing teeth: "You want to learn? I'll teach youthe cripple is back!"

    Qin Mu looked, and saw the lame man limping forward, leaning on a cane with one hand and holding the prey on his back with the other.  The darkness rushed towards the village like a tide, and Granny Si hurriedly shouted: "Cripple, hurry up, hurry up!"

    "No hurries?"

    The cripple still walked towards the village unhurriedly, and the moment he entered the village, the dense darkness just flooded the village.  The prey on his back was a colorful tiger, which was not dead yet. Its tail was swept by the darkness. Suddenly the tiger let out a mournful roar. Qin Mu quickly looked and saw that the tiger's tail was only a piece of bone.  All the fur and flesh were gone, as if it had been gnawed off by something.

    He looked curiously at the darkness outside the village, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

    "What's in the darkness?" he wondered.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
