My attribute of fast time travel is upside down

Chapter 607 Farming Shanlihan (172)

Tilting her head, facing a pair of dark and bright eyes, Qi Xue paused for two seconds, then said out of habit, "Morning."

As soon as the words fell, the temperature of her cheeks rose sharply, and she herself felt a little embarrassed.

It's pitch black, so early.

This quick talk has to be corrected.

"Heh." Zhang Yi was amused by her confused appearance, but he didn't laugh too wildly. He was afraid of making people angry, so he restrained himself after laughing for a few seconds, and replied very cooperatively: "Morning."

Qi Xue became even more embarrassed, her head drooping a little.

Before she could slow down, a good-looking hand broke into sight, with a dark water bag between the knuckle fingers, which was not so clear in the dark night.

Qi Xue froze for a moment, raised her eyes to meet his four eyes, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

Zhang Yi smiled, "Wash your face, you will be more awake."

"Oh." Qi Xue took it obediently, first took a sip to moisten her throat, her mouth was a little dry after sleeping for so long, then she poured some in her hand and threw it on her face.

The already cold water was even more chilled by the night wind, and it flowed directly from the face to the consciousness.

Qi Xue shuddered subconsciously, her eyes and ears cleared instantly, and her drowsiness disappeared.A pair of eyes are shining brightly, like radar at night, wishing to sweep out all the ant nests in the corner.

She handed the water bag back to Zhang Yi, and urged softly, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

He looked nervous, as if he was afraid that he would not close his eyes.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but laughed again, and didn't refute what she meant, but nodded his head lightly, very easy to talk, "Okay."

"Call me if you need anything."

"En." Qi Xue nodded in response, her eyes urging him to hurry up.

Zhang Yi chuckled helplessly, and after a few simple instructions, he leaned back, leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

Qi Xue stared at him for a while to make sure he didn't wake up suddenly, and then turned her attention to the village.

The man in black is really dedicated to his work, and he is still looking through the house with great enjoyment.

This time, it turned to the sky and wiped out a faint silver light.

Obviously, he still couldn't find it.He didn't want to fight, he just raised his eyes slightly to glance at the sky, and quietly sneaked back to his hiding place before it was bright.

He didn't disturb any of the villagers or yamen servants, and thought he was invisible, but he didn't know that Qi Xue could see all his movements.

The killer was actually hiding in one of the households.

This realization made Qi Xue frown, didn't this family notice anything?
It's okay if you live in a wealthy family. There are many rooms in the house, and it's not easy to find them even if you hide them anywhere.But the small families in the village wanted to split one house into two. Almost no place had to be baptized by the owner of the house, countless times a day, and there was no spare place for the killer to hide.

Could it be that he threatened to intimidate others?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Just as Qi Xue was thinking wildly, there was a sudden movement beside her.

"Villages generally have cellars for storing food for the winter." A familiar male voice sounded from the side, with a hint of hoarseness and deep waking up, and it looked particularly attractive in the dark and silent night.

Qi Xue's heart suddenly throbbed uncontrollably, her body paused, she turned her head abruptly, and slammed into Zhang Yi's eyes.

"When did you wake up?" She blurted out without thinking.

Zhang Yi smiled lightly, and simply replied "just now", and then took out the water bag to rinse his mouth and wash his face, the movements were skillful and done in one go.

After washing, the whole face feels refreshed.

He turned around with a smile and said hello as usual: "Morning."

"Morning." Qi Xue replied subconsciously. She had calmed down while Zhang Yi was washing up just now, and she was thinking about his explanation just now.

The villages in their area did have this habit. Every household dug a cellar to store grain for the winter.

Calling it a cellar is actually an exaggeration. It is reasonable for the big households in the county to call it a cellar. Those in the countryside are digging a deep pit.

Although the area is not large, it is more than enough to hide people.

Her thoughts turned slightly, Qi Xue raised her eyes and looked at him, "You mean, this killer hides in the cellar during the day when it is inconvenient to appear?"

Zhang Yi nodded, "This is a safer place."

At least at this stage, yes.

Now that the temperature has just dropped, fresh fruits and vegetables have not yet reached the point of scarcity, the villagers will not visit the cellar too often, that is, put them in when there is surplus food, but this is only a specific few days, poor people in remote villages , Where did the surplus food come from?

In addition, there must be a pile of things in the cellar, and the light is dim and pitch black. The killer is hiding in the dark in a black suit. It should not be difficult to avoid the sight of ordinary people.

Qi Xue was silent, seemingly thinking, but within two seconds she suddenly retorted, "Didn't Uncle Zhang and the others go down to check?"

It's not that she is too confident in Uncle Zhang, but that almost everyone in the county knows about cellars.

Uncle Zhang has been handling cases for many years and is experienced and experienced. How could he not check the cellar when he searched for so long and found nothing.

But he still didn't find any trace of these people, isn't it a bit strange?

Zhang Yi didn't speak, but the arc of the corner of his mouth kept rising, leaving time for her to think.

Qi Xue soon had an answer.

Maybe it's not that they didn't find it, but that they found it and failed to catch it.

But, are these killers really so powerful?Previously, she didn't know the specific casualties, but only knowing that three people were injured made her feel very uneasy, now.
She didn't know exactly how many yamen servants were injured, but there was an approximate number of yamen servants in a yamen.

Except for the three they saw in the county government office, counting the ones they found while squatting in the dark, and roughly adding the ones from another village that they hadn't had time to go to yet, the total was still somewhat different from the number in their mind.

Where did these yamen go?Are they dead or alive?Qi Xue didn't know anything.

But what is certain is that their situation is not optimistic.

The yamen attaches great importance to this case, and it can be said that all members have been mobilized. If the magistrate of the county is not a scholar who is so old and useless, he may have personally put on his armor and went to the scene of the case to take command.

Under such circumstances, how could the magistrate of the county tolerate the lack of these people to stand aside and stand tall? Even the yamen servants who were not seriously injured were forced to go to the county yamen to be on duty.The only thing that can be explained is that these people are not in a good condition today.

Maybe he was dead, maybe he was seriously injured and was about to die, or he just had an accident and was being transported back.Of course, the last situation is not necessarily much better than the first two.

Except for these three arguments, don't think about it.

The number of the missing part, plus the three recuperating wounded people seen by the yamen, is quite a number.

If it is said that all of them are the product of the killer's slapstick when transferring, Qi Xue doesn't quite believe it.

After all, the purpose of attacking east and west is to divert attention, and it is unimaginable to cause such a number of casualties.

In other words, something else should have happened during this period.
