A few moments later, Kang Yihong cried out, "Auntie! Uncle! Come over here quickly!"
"This..."
Kang Li and Luo Yanqing walked over to Kang Yihong, their faces immediately turning grim. Kang Li said, "I'm afraid this baby was abandoned here shortly after being born."
It was indeed an infant, a tiny baby with dried blood on its head and neck, its eyes still unopened.
"Auntie, what should we do now?"
Kang Yihong asked Kang Li.
"Taking it home directly... might not be without trouble, but if we leave it here unattended, I fear the little one might..."
Kang Li stopped midsentence, her brows furrowed in thought. After a moment, she said, "Put the child in a carrier basket and take him back to our house for now. Make sure no one sees anything unusual on your faces."
To abandon a newborn on the mountain must mean that the mother had resolved herself to let the child die.
