Features: The team leader Liu Niancong walked to the back. Behind was that Zhang Youguo.
Zhang Youguo was carrying a burlap sack, and the crying sound seeped from inside the sack.
Team leader Liu Niancong said, "Zhang Youguo, where did you get such a thing?"
Zhang Youguo put down the sack and opened it. Liu Niancong struck a match. The flame flickered suddenly,
and everyone could see clearly. It was a child, white and plump, around ten years old. His mouth was stuffed with a clump of tangled grass,
his hands tied with hemp rope, and his pale face flushed red.
Team leader Liu Niancong was startled. There was actually a child in the sack!
"Hey, what's all this! Where did you get a child?" Liu Niancong said.
Zhang Youguo said, "There's nothing strange about it."
Tianbao recognized him as the child from the old camphor tree and said, "Getting a child out, and you say it's not strange? What did you bring this child here for?"
"Until you see the coffin, you won't cry!" Zhang Youguo said.
He stunned Liu Niancong, and Tianbao and the others were also stunned. Tianbao couldn't figure out how this had anything to do with a coffin.
He remembered that the child was indeed a bit naughty, a bit mischievous, and a bit unscrupulous. He had caused such a mischief on the old camphor tree, and back then, he really wanted to slap the child. But how did he tie someone up? He didn't expect Zhang Youguo to actually tie someone up and put them in a burlap sack, doing it secretly and carrying them this far. Even if he had urinated all over your head, there was no need to carry someone this far!
