"Oh, okay, then let's eat something. I'll wake up Brother Hu."

"No need to wake him up. Let him continue to sleep."

"How can that be possible?" Tan Wenbin didn't listen to the woman and still came to the bedside to shake Hu Yiwei, "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, wake up, it's time to eat."

Hu Yiwei unconsciously reached out and clapped his hands, mumbling as he continued to sleep with his arms around him.

"It's going to get cold if you don't come." After Zeng Yinyin finished speaking, she turned and left.

Tan Wenbin stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist slightly, and imitated Brother Yuanzi's method, using his ring finger knuckles to knock three times on Hu Yiwei's forehead.

Sure enough... it didn't work.

Hu Yiwei continued to sleep soundly.

Tan Wenbin took out a Qingxin Talisman from his pocket and stuck it on the other's forehead with a "pop".

The Qingxin Talisman worked.

Hu Yiwei slept more soundly, not even talking in his sleep, only snoring like thunder.

"This..."

Tan Wenbin took off the Qingxin Talisman, took out the Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll Lucky Talisman, and pasted it.

The talisman paper did not change color.

This shows that Hu Yiwei has long been free from the influence of the evil spirit. He is now simply exhausted and can't get up.

And the effect of his previous Qingxin Talisman has helped him sleep more deeply.

There is no way, this really can't wake him up.

It's better to deal with the next thing first, and then find an excuse to go out and find Brother Xiaoyuan, and let Brother Xiaoyuan make a decision.

Tan Wenbin took out the toiletries from the backpack, and when he walked out of the room, he glanced at the welded well in the yard.

He walked to the kitchen, where the small dining table was placed, and the coffin was still there.

Zeng Yinyin held a basin of clothes in her hand, glanced at him, and said, "There is a water tank in the back, I'll take you."

The water tank was behind the kitchen, with a wooden ladle on it.

When Tan Wenbin was brushing his teeth, Zeng Yinyin was washing clothes next to him.

Her hands were very white, almost bloodless.

Moreover, Tan Wenbin noticed that the other person was washing men's clothes in the basin.

But there was no man in this house originally.

He and Hu Yiwei came here last night. Before going to bed, they only washed their feet and did not change clothes.

After brushing his teeth, Tan Wenbin washed his face with a ladle, and then asked casually:

"Whose clothes are so big?"

"My man's."

"Are you remarried?"

"No, these are his old clothes. I plan to wash and dry them and give them away. You city people don't understand how difficult life is in the countryside."

"Oh, so that's it."

Tan Wenbin knew that unless life was so poor that it was really unbearable, the living would still feel unlucky for the dead's belongings.

When he and Uncle Li were fasting in the past, he often saw the host pile up the deceased's clothes and personal belongings and burn them together.

Although Min'an Town is a mountain town, life is far from being so difficult. Can the clothes of the dead be washed and given away as a favor?

Or was it that what she actually washed was her man's daily change of clothes?

Although Hu Yiwei slept with her last night, it was not Hu Yiwei who really did the work.

Zeng Yinyin was very quick and after hanging the clothes, she wiped her hands with a towel, then motioned Tan Wenbin to sit down, and she went to the stove to get some rice.

It was soup rice, yesterday's leftovers, some vegetables, and water to cook in a pot.

This is a very popular breakfast form nowadays, regardless of region.

After all, most families are reluctant to go to the store every morning to buy buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk to take home.

In case the amount of leftovers is not enough, noodles are also put in it.

When Zeng Yinyin turned around to get her own bowl, Tan Wenbin deliberately turned his back to the coffin, took out the lucky charm from his arms, grabbed the edge of the charm, and threw it into the bowl. It did not change color, which meant that the food was for human consumption.

"Huh..."

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the charm paper back into his pocket.

Tan Wenbin took the chopsticks in his right hand and held the bowl in his left hand. The bowl was not hot.

He took another bite. It tasted good, but a little warm.

"How is it?" Zeng Yinyin asked.

"Delicious."

It's not hot, just right for eating.

Tan Wenbin quickly finished a bowl.

Zeng Yinyin: "There's more in the pot."

"I'm full, thank you." Tan Wenbin looked around and asked, "Why don't they come down to eat?"

"They've eaten a long time ago."

"Can I... see Miaomiao?"

"What do you want to see her for?"

"I think some things may not be appropriate for the person involved. As a friend, maybe I can give some advice."

"Miaomiao is engaged and will get married next month."

"I heard about it."

"Then you are not suitable to participate now." Zeng Yinyin put away the bowl and chopsticks, "You can persuade Yiwei to go back early, let him forget Miaomiao, and start a new life."

"This is difficult."

At this time, Zeng Yinyin suddenly said: "In this world, nothing is difficult except death."

"I think your family is not doing this right." Tan Wenbin tried to get as much information as possible, "At least you should do it from beginning to end."

Zeng Yinyin's movements suddenly paused, and then said, "That's a good idea."

"What?"

"There's nothing fun here, let's go."

"I think the scenery here is very good, very beautiful." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to continue to reveal to him, Tan Wenbin could only go to Brother Xiaoyuan, "I want to ask you something. There is a family named Xue in this village. His son is Xue Liangliang, a student of Haihe University. He is good at making money and has a promising future."

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"There are many people in the town and there are many surnames. Except for neighbors, we do not deal with foreign surnames."

"Oh, this, then I go out and ask, by the way. Once again, thank you for your hospitality."

Tan Wenbin left.

Zeng Yinyin looked at the door of the kitchen for a while, and then she filled a bowl of soup rice from the pot and placed it under the coffin.

A pair of chopsticks were placed in a bowl by her.

This is not a solid rice. There are more soups, and you can't stand chopsticks.

After the hand was loosened, the two chopsticks stood upright.

Nympho

Tan Wenbin first returned to the room and carried his climbing bag.

On the bed, Hu Yiwei still slept sweetly, and Yin Hong at the crotch gradually turned dark.

Although it is clearly perceived the wrongdoing of this home, the risk factor is still within the range.

Let's meet with Xiao Yuan first.

Tan Wenbin left the house, walked out of the alley, and came to the main street.

Although Min'an Town is not comparable to the population size of Shigang Town, Pingyuan, it is also a town anyway. It is normal for the town to do not know it.

Tan Wenbin found a small sales department in the town, bought a bottle of drink, and then asked the sister -in -law of the small sales department to inquire about Xue Liangliang's house.

However, Da's response made Tan Wenbin feel wrong.

Dasao said that he had never heard that there was a Xue family in the town.

Tan Wenbin immediately appeared in his mind: Is Xue Liangliang's father who came to the door, and later he rose up. He changed to Xue Liangliang back to Xue?

This guess, even Tan Wenbin himself felt a little bit.

After leaving the small sales department, Tan Wenbin began to ask the town people to ask. He felt that the Xue family should be famous here. After all, Liang Liang Brother was regarded as a "child of someone else."

But the result is that no one knows that there are people in the town.

At this moment, Tan Wenbin finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If you can't find the Xue family, it means that he can't find Xiao Yuan and Runsheng, who has already settled in the Xue family in advance.

He took out the transmission machine around his waist and was not recorded.

It shouldn't be, it is already ten in the morning.

Last night, Xiao Yuan may feel late, and the small sales department was closed, and he would not pass on himself, but it was all at this point. Xiao Yuan has not seen himself yet. Express yourself.

Tan Wenbin returned to the small sales department again, picked up the phone and started calling the phone in the cheap store.

"Du ... beep ... beep ..."

The phone was rang, but no one answered.

This is impossible. Even if Lu Yi is not in the store in class at the moment, there must be someone in the store during the day.

Two times in a row, no one still answered.

Tan Wenbin hesitated and gave his father's office in the office.

He even gave the small sales department in Siyuan Village, which was still the same.

In the end, he called the paging platform.

During this period, there were a lot of paging platforms across the country, and the paging platforms were also a very popular profession.

But this time, no one answered the paging platform, and there was no way to hear the sweet voice of the briefing sister.

Hanging on the phone, Tan Wenbin held his fist and gently pinched the counter.

"Well?" Dasao looked at his phone display in confusion. After so long, none of them answered.

"Auntie, will your phone be broken?"

"Broken?" Da Ai pressed the removal, dial a number by herself, and answered the opposite side quickly. Da Ai told the other party to send more goods next time. After the opposite agreed, she hung up the phone.

"No bad, okay."

Dasao stabbed the seeds and looked at the young man up and down. If you didn't look at the young man wearing a good mountaineering bag, she would doubt that this guy was deliberately looking for music in the morning.

Tan Wenbin picked up the phone again and called the cheap store, and no one answered.

Hanging the phone, he took out the money and bought some bags for snacks.

Dasao groaned him with a smile, and the snack was not too fine, but the bags were ash on the bags.

Tan Wenbin walked out of the small sales department and came to the corridor by the river to sit down.

There are a few tables for the elderly sitting there to drink tea, and there is a commentary, storytelling.

It is the local endorsement, and he doesn't understand.

Looking at the calm river, there is a farmland in the distance. It is very beautiful, but now he has no mood to appreciate.

Either there is a problem with this town, or there is something wrong with it.

Perhaps now, the most reasonable choice is to quickly leave the town, at least one place where you can call.

But I was running the problem. If I encountered a problem, I left.

After the book reviewer finished speaking, Tan Wenbin stepped forward to talk to the other party. After leaving the position of the Zeng family, he gave a little money to the commentator, promising that if someone found himself by him, he would give him another one.

Subsequently, Tan Wenbin took out the paper pen and started writing a note. He wrote a lot in a row.

After doing these, Tan Wenbin was not in a hurry to return home, but instead strolled in this town. This looks like a backpacker who travels to travel.

Yesterday was late at night. The Black Bronong winter couldn't see what, but now I can observe the taste carefully.

However, the style of the Hui faction is indeed very cultural and beautiful, but when you have anxiety and panic in your heart, the environment here can magnify your emotions.

Everyone who opens the door feels secret, and every alley is weird.

Always stroll around at one o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Wenbin decided to go back home. Before returning, he went to shop to cut the meat and bought some grain and oil.

Just after entering the house with these things, I saw Zeng Yinyin standing there.

"I thought you were gone."

"No, I'll go out and stroll."

"I have eaten lunch."

"I have eaten it too." Tan Wenbin put things on the table, and he ate snacks.

Zeng Yinyin glanced and said, "Don't buy things."

"Show, should."

Don't buy something, how can you continue to live?

Now that Brother Yuanzi can't contact it temporarily, all he can do is to continue to stay at the Zeng family.

Zeng Yinyin said nothing and put things into the kitchen.

Tan Wenbin returned to his room, and Hu Yiwei was still asleep. It seems that his consumption of him last night was really great.

Of course, consumption is not just about doing that, but also the most important thing, but it is attached to the evil spirits.

However, if he continues to wake up, he has no reason to see Zeng Miao Miao.

Tan Wenbin reached out and patted Hu Yiwei's face, and he still couldn't wake up.

Throughout the afternoon, Tan Wenbin moved a small bench and sat next to the yard well.

There is a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of mineral water under his feet, which looks like to rest and sun.

After Zeng Yinyin returned to her room, she didn't come out again. The grandmother and Zeng Miao Miao who spoke last night did not go down the second floor.

Coupled with Hu Yiwei who is still asleep.

There are a lot of people in this room, but it gives Tan Wenbin a feeling of only himself.

The other is the well ... Although the manhole cover was welded, from the gap, it was still possible to detect that the cold was spread out, and it felt a bit frozen.

By the time of dusk, Zeng Yinyin came out of her room and she went to cook.

At this time, Hu Yiwei finally woke up.

"So hungry ... I'm dizzy." Hu Yiwei was lying on the bed, covering his belly with one hand and holding his forehead.

Tan Wenbin took the compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed it to him. As for the mineral water, he had finished drinking.

No one will put a lot of water in the bag. He still has things such as water purification films.

Tan Wenbin came to the kitchen and was ready to take boiling water.

Zeng Yinyin stood by the stove platform and was holding a shovel to stir -fry, but she didn't see how many pots of vapor came out.

After Tan Wenbin went around the stove, he found that there was only sporadic Mars in the stove.

"Want to burn the fire?"

"No, go out of the pot."

"oh."

Tan Wenbin nodded, took the hot water bottle, opened a bottle of plug, and touched his fingers down. It was warm. Try to change the second bottle. It was still warm.

"That, is there hot water?"

"Aren't you all?"

"It's just warm, not hot."

"The weather is hot, and he deliberately warm up."

"So."

Tan Wenbin could only choose a bottle to raise it. When he passed through the stairs at the hall, he glanced up again, and the door was closed.

Back in the room, he poured a glass of warm water for Hu Yiwei and reminded him:

"Leave a stomach, eat dinner right away."

Hu Yiwei's mouth was full of biscuit crumbs, and he asked a little embarrassed: "Binbin, do you have pants, can you borrow me?"

Obviously, he found the traces of his crotch.

Tan Wenbin took a pair of pants from the bag and handed it to him.

Hu Yiwei was emotionally excited and borrowed the car and drove directly to say, so he did not bring his luggage except to bring money and smoke on the road.

Tan Wenbin's climbing bag is full of foundation.

He and Yin Meng, one person one by one.

Runsheng is an advanced version, because he has to bear the one of Xiao Yuan's brother.

"Thank you brother, how much money, I'll give it to you." Hu Yiwei was ready to pay from his pocket.

"No need, it's all brothers, don't mention this."

"How can this do this, come on when you come, you are all of your money."

"Don't be polite to me, remember to do business."

Hu Yiwei patted his forehead: "Oh, yes, it's right!"

He was strange in his heart, why did he forget this stubble.

After eating something, Hu Yiwei was able to relieve it. It was all men. There was nothing embarrassed. He took off his pants and panties and changed Tan Wenbin's pants. This was also a block.

"Binbin, I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's embarrassed, I dream last night."

Tan Wenbin touched his nose, who's dreams of dreams were bleeding.

Of course, most boys generally do not give themselves a chance to dream after seeing it.

"Brother Hu, when you have dinner, you must ask Zeng Miao Miao."

"I will."

"After making it clear, you should go back and go back. If you ask for leave for too long, don't delay your work for the past."

"Well, Binbin, I understand what you said."

The door of the room was pushed away, and Zeng Yinyin stood at the door. As in the morning, she said, "The rice is ready, come and eat."

It is still a small kitchen table with the coffin.

But there are only three people on the dining table.

Hu Yiwei asked: "What about Miao Miao?"

Zeng Yinyin has a tray with two plates, two cups of rice wine, and a curved rice with small bowls.

"They eat it on it."

"Sister Yin, let Miao Miao come down, I and she said clearly, and then I go."

"She doesn't want to see you."

"I know she doesn't want to see me. I just want to come to a statement. Our marriage is so inexplicable. She should come out to see me. You help me tell her, I don't want to entangle her, really."

"Okay, let me say."

"Trouble you, Sister Yin."

"You can eat first, just eat meals."

Zeng Yinyin went up with a tray.

Hu Yiwei was sitting at the small table in the kitchen, his chest was slightly undulating, and he was organizing language.

Tan Wenbin left the table and came to the corner of the hall. He saw Zeng Yinyin walking to the entrance of the second floor, grabbed the door, and knocked three times.

There seemed to be a locking sound in it.

Zeng Yinyin opened the door. Before entering, she turned around, looked down, and looked at Tan Wenbin.

Then she went in and the door was closed.

At this moment, Tan Wenbin wanted to use violence to forcibly enter the second floor to see what is going on in the second floor, what kind of state is Zeng Miao Miao now.

But he knew very well that he did not have the ability to force the matter after the matter.

The reason why he can be separated into a line alone is that one is because Runsheng's character cannot be adapted, and he and Fan Shulin do not have too much friendship. The second is because Xiao Yuan is around There is a strong man who accompanies.

Back to the kitchen and sat down, Tan Wenbin said, "Brother Hu, help me get a hot water bottle."

"Oh, okay."

When Hu Yiwei got up, Tan Wenbin took out the chasing far -tight roll lucky symbols and tested the food. There was no problem.

Picking up the chopsticks, took a sip of meals, Tan Wenbin froze, and a sip of dishes, and he frowned.

The meal in the morning can be explained as early as you have done it early, but this meal is done in the evening. Why is it warm?

Is there something that is not hot in this house?

After a while, Zeng Yinyin came back. She sat down at the table and picked up chopsticks to start eating.

Hu Yiwei asked: "Sister Yin, Miao Miao?"

Zeng Yinyin swallowed the food in her mouth, and her obscure and inexplicable smile appeared on her face:

"Don't worry, you can see her after meals."

Nympho

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Yin Meng didn't know who the person who peeped in at the door of the room last night, but after being illuminated by the flashlight once, the peeping eyes never appeared again.

When a chair was behind the door, Yin Meng returned to the bed and started to sleep.

She needed to rest, and it was impossible to really make her state too bad, but even if she was sleeping, she opened her eyes and closed her eyes.

The next day, there was a sound of chopping firewood in the yard.

Yin Meng pushed Zheng Jiayi, and Zheng Jiayi yawned, and said in a very lazy voice: "Meng Meng, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep more for a while."

"Your parents' illness, have you forgotten?"

Zheng Jiayi immediately got up.

"Go down first."

"Go down, do you have to carry the bag back?"

"I'm used to it."

After the other two bedrooms on the second floor, Yin Meng stopped and listened again, and did not hear the movement inside.

When I came to the courtyard downstairs, a man who was less than 30 years old had a man who was less than 30 years old, with vests, shorts, and shoes. He was very tall and thin.

"Daqiang!"

Zheng Jiayi enthusiastically greeted

"Jiayi, huh." Daqiang waved his hand, "My parents went to the mountain early in the morning to pick up the goods, breakfast on the table."

Yin Meng hit well water and washed with Zheng Jiayi, the two came to the kitchen.

There are porridge bowls and pickles on the small table.

Yin Meng took porridge and smelled it. There was no problem. Now she has enough to distinguish the food.

It's just that this sip, I find that the porridge is not only hot, but it can even be said to be cold.

But the problem is that the weather is not really cool.

Taste another piece of pickles, bite your teeth, a little ice teeth.

This feels like having breakfast to be hung into the well, and the town has been town.

Yin Meng looked at the grooves under the stove, and the hot water bottle was gone, including the bottle that found a mouse last night.

Do you want to grab that Daqiang and tied it with the exorcist whip in the bag and torture things?

As soon as this idea rose, it was ruled out by Yin Meng.

Let's find Xiao Yuan first.

"Mengmeng, I invite you to go outside for breakfast." Obviously, Zheng Jiayi also felt that this breakfast could not be cut off.

"Um."

When the two came out, they found that they were still being split.

The ax fell in place, and even the split firewood was not collected.

"Well, what about Daqiang?"

Zheng Jiayi bent down, helped him clean up, and then piled up in the corner.

Yin Meng's eyes swept towards the firewood pile. Most of the firewood had grown moss. In extremely different places, some mushrooms had grown.

Firefire is a consumable, which means that this family has not burned firewood for a long time.

Out of the Zheng family, Yin Meng first asked Xue Liangliang's position.

Zheng Jiayi does not live here. Her understanding of Min'an Town is not much higher than the foreigners of Yin Meng.

But the two asked a large circle, and the reply was always: I don't know which one surnamed Xue in the town.

As for Xue Liangliang's students from Shanghai River University, no one has heard of it.

Yin Meng came to the small sales department in the town and asked the big sister -in -law first, and got the same result feedback.

She picked up the phone and hits the paging table. She wants to call Xue Liangliang, and no one answers.

Then she called the school's affordable store, but still no one answered.

After calling several times, she asked the aunt if there was any problem with the phone. The aunt called and ordered the goods in front of her, indicating that there was no problem.

Yin Meng realized that the problem was serious.

She did not give up, so she pulled Zheng Jiayi to continue asking.

Then, the two came to the long corridor by the river.

This is the leisure and cultural center of the town.

Two tables of old people were drinking tea, and another old man was telling a story.

After the old man finished telling the story, Yin Meng went up to him and asked if anyone had come to him to inquire about the situation. The storyteller shook his head and indicated that no.

Yin Meng asked him to help keep an eye out, and at the same time told him her name and the alley address of the old Zheng family. Finally, she took out a banknote and put it in the iron box in front of him.

"Thank you, girl, thank you, girl, can I tell you a story?"

"No need."

Yin Meng went to various shops to ask, and then asked others to help her keep an eye out.

After completing this set of procedures, Yin Meng felt inexplicably irritated.

Because she knew very well that the methods she could think of, they could also think of, and they would only do it better and more meticulously than she did.

This town is so small, and there are not many outsiders. If someone asked this question, the people on the street or the shop owners would definitely have a deep impression, but when they communicated with them before, they had no impression at all.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine."

"Then shall we continue to look for it now?"

"No, let's go back."

The two returned to Zheng's house and the door was closed.

Zheng Jiayi went up and pushed the door, and it was pushed open.

Then, the voice of the aunt came from behind the door: "You're back."

Then, she also came out, wearing the same clothes as last night.

"Aunt, are you back?"

"Yes, I am."

"Is Uncle back too?"

"No, Daqiang came into the mountains to find us. He took over my shift, so I came back to prepare lunch for you. Why didn't you have breakfast? Didn't Daqiang tell you?"

"Aunt, Daqiang told me, but I wanted to take my friend to try our special breakfast, so I saved some space before going out."

"Oh, are we going to have lunch at home?"

Zheng Jiayi looked at Yin Meng, who shook her head gently.

"No, aunt, we'll go out to eat later."

"Okay."

Aunt walked into the house and went straight upstairs.

Yin Meng went to the well to get some water, washed her hands, and washed her face.

This house and the people in it are weird.

It's a pity that Xiaoyuan can't be found, so these clues can't be reported at the moment.

The two went upstairs again, and when they came to the corner of the second floor stairs, Yin Meng pointed to the stairs that continued to go up.

"Meng Meng, the attic is up there, right? I haven't been there either."

"Then let's go and have a look."

Yin Meng went up. It was called an attic, but it wasn't cramped, and it looked like it was often cleaned, not dirty.

An old red coffin was placed there.

Zheng Jiayi was startled by the coffin and hid behind Yin Meng.

"It's okay, I used to sell coffins."

Yin Meng walked to the coffin. The materials used in the coffin were not very sophisticated, and the painting skills were also very ordinary. Elderly people with a little bit of conditions would not choose it as their own coffin.

"Jiayi, your grandparents have passed away a long time ago, right?"

"Yes, my parents came back last time to visit grandpa's grave."

Grandparents are gone, so why is there a coffin in this room?

Although Zheng Jiayi's uncle has not been seen yet, judging from the age of her aunt, the couple should be far from preparing coffins in advance.

Just as Yin Meng put her hand on the side of the coffin, wondering whether to open it and take a look, the figure of the aunt appeared at the door.

"Why are you here?"

Zheng Jiayi replied: "We are just strolling around."

"This is a relative's house renovation, and the old coffins prepared by the elderly in the family are temporarily placed in our house."

Yin Meng retracted her hand and said: "Oh, so."

"There are many rats in the house, don't run around, you will be scared by the rats."

"Well, we know."

Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi came to the room on the second floor. Zheng Jiayi sat by the bed and Yin Meng stood at the door.

"Mengmeng, let's go out to eat."

"No, just eat something." Yin Meng took out a biscuit from her backpack, handed it to Zheng Jiayi, and then stood by the door.

"Mengmeng, where should we start looking next?" Zheng Jiayi asked.

"Start from this house."

"Ah, I'm asking about your friend named Xue who is looking for you."

"Same, if we find his house, it will be easier to find the root cause of your parents' illness."

"Oh, so that's it." Zheng Jiayi nodded, she believed it.

"Jiayi, don't you think your uncle's family is weird?"

"I said last night that their family has always been cold, and in fact, I don't have much contact with them."

"Have you eaten?"

"I have eaten."

"Then let's go out."

Yin Meng took Zheng Jiayi away from Zheng's house and began to visit neighbors, looking for those aunts and grandmothers who liked to chat at first glance.

From the neighbors, I learned that the Zheng family is famous for their eccentricity. They don't interact with outsiders on weekdays. At one point, when relatives and neighbors need to do something, they won't invite them. Only the two brothers in his family will come back once or twice a year.

In the countryside, no matter how eccentric and unsociable a person is, he dare not not participate in the village's weddings and funerals.

Because everyone knows that such things will happen to their families sooner or later. If you don't go to other people's homes, they won't come to you to help.

The neighbors didn't get any specific information, so Yin Meng had to go back to the Zheng family and sit in the yard.

Unable to contact Xiaoyuan, she is a little confused now.

It seems that at the moment, she can only continue to follow the established pattern.

For example, under the premise of trying not to tear each other apart, explore the real secrets of the Zheng family.

Yin Meng sat in the yard all afternoon.

She finally saw Zheng Jiayi's great uncle, who came back with a fertilizer bag on his back, and something was moving in the bag.

Zheng Jiayi went up to greet him: "Uncle."

"Yeah, Jiayi."

"Where's Daqiang? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"He's behind me. I'll go pack up first."

Uncle went in. Yin Meng thought he would go to the kitchen, but he went upstairs with the bag on his back.

Then, after going upstairs, he never came down again.

After a while, Daqiang came back. He was also carrying a fertilizer bag. The things inside were also moving, and there was a faint "squeaking" sound.

After a simple greeting, he also went upstairs.

When it was dusk, the aunt came down from upstairs and asked: "You guys are going out to eat in the evening, right?"

Zheng Jiayi: "Yes, aunt."

"Then I won't cook for you."

"Aunt, call uncle and Daqiang down, let's go out to eat together."

"If we don't go out to eat, we can't afford it."

After the aunt finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs again.

Yin Meng discovered a problem, that is, this family of three... never appeared together, always alone.

Before nightfall, Yin Meng and Zheng Jiayi went out to buy some food.

When she came back with the bag and went upstairs, Yin Meng vaguely heard some special sounds.

But when she just stepped on the last step of the second floor, the sound was collectively muted.

She and Zheng Jiayi returned to their room.

"Mengmeng, let's eat together."

"You eat first."

Yin Meng still stood at the door of the room and put her ear to the door.

"Crunch...Crunch...Crunch..."

She heard the high-frequency sound again, although it was very slight, it did exist.

Yin Meng made a "hush" gesture to Zheng Jiayi, Zheng Jiayi nodded, and even stopped eating.

Then, Yin Meng carefully opened the door, trying not to make any sound. After opening it to a gap large enough for her to go out sideways, she raised her hand, grabbed the top, and "sent" herself out.

The wooden structure made it difficult to avoid making noises on the floor, but the beams above were still solid and compact.

Zheng Jiayi opened her mouth wide when she saw this scene: Do those who study Chinese medicine have to practice kung fu?

Yin Meng "came" to the corridor on the second floor and heard the sound more clearly.

The sound came from the two rooms, but there were three frequency sources, and all of them were close to the door.

Yin Meng exerted force on her waist and lifted her legs up to avoid being seen through the gap when standing at the door.

"Squeak! Crunch! Squeak! Crunch!..."

It all started with a quick and painful scream, followed by the sound of biting and chewing, and the screaming stopped immediately, followed by the next round.

It reminded me of the two fertilizer bags that Dabo and Daqiang carried back and the mouse that I found in the thermos last night.

A picture reappeared in Yin Meng's mind:

Behind the door of one room stood Daqiang, and behind the door of another room stood his uncle and aunt side by side;

They kept reaching out, grabbing live mice from the fertilizer bag, and bringing them to their mouths to eat.

Suddenly, the sound disappeared collectively.

The meal was over.

...

In the morning, after Li Zhuiyuan went downstairs, Xue's father and mother warmly treated him to breakfast.

They were really warm. The staple food for breakfast was rice, and they also fried three hot dishes.

It was the way Runsheng lit incense when eating that made them feel a little strange.

Li Zhuiyuan explained that Runsheng was often sick when he was a child. A wandering Taoist priest said that he had to take out a month every year to light incense for every meal to ensure that he would be free of illness and disaster.

Xue's father and mother were amazed and praised the Taoist priest for being so powerful.

After all, Runsheng's physique was here, how could he look weak and sick.

After dinner, Li Zhuiyuan asked Runsheng to go out and ask people, focusing on the area near the canteen.

He sat in the yard chatting with Xue's father, while Xue's mother was washing clothes. She enthusiastically brought Li Zhuiyuan and Runsheng's clothes to help wash.

Xue's father was very happy chatting. At this moment, even if he put aside the relationship with his own son, he liked this boy very much.

And Li Zhuiyuan really has the ability to make someone happy.

He has been learning this skill since he was a child, but later, especially after receiving the call from Li Lan, he didn't want to continue pretending, at least to irrelevant strangers.

After leaving his grandfather's house to go to college, he would only be more indifferent to outsiders.

It's not intentional, but he's too lazy to continue acting.

But this old skill that he had "since birth" was not lost.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Runsheng came back and found no one.

"Brother Runsheng, go to the store and call Brother Binbin, then call the store and ask if they have any calls to the store."

"Okay."

Runsheng went out, and Li Zhuiyuan began to try to guide Xue's father to talk about the "young expedition team".

It can be seen that Xue's father didn't really want to talk about this, but in the end, he was constantly asked to talk.

After a while, Runsheng came back with a message:

"Xiaoyuan, the call is not working. The paging station is not working. I called all the numbers I remembered, but still couldn't get through.

The phone is working. The aunt in the store called the wholesaler in the county in front of me and bought a batch of goods."

"Brother Runsheng, go to the shops on the main street and ask the bosses to help keep an eye out. Then go to the crowded places in the town... It's the riverside promenade that Xue's father took us to yesterday. It's close to the gate archway and is a conspicuous location."

"Okay."

Runsheng went out again.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to stay here.

He didn't do it to be lazy. First, he wanted to continue to get information from Xue's father, and second, he had to stay here and wait for Yin Meng and Binbin to come.

"Uncle Xue, your family is famous in the town, right?"

"Of course not." Xue's father proudly puffed up his chest, "Who said I have a good son? Whenever the town builds roads and bridges, my family always contributes a large share."

In fact, Li Zhuiyuan asked in vain, because as soon as he entered the town, he asked the aunt in the canteen, and the aunt didn't even care about the shop, and took them directly to the Xue family very enthusiastically.

This not only means that the Xue family is very famous in the town, but also means that they are very popular.

Runsheng came back: "Xiaoyuan, I have asked and greeted him. I also asked him to help keep an eye out for the storytellers in the corridor."

"Did you pay?"

"Ah... My money is in my bag. I didn't bring my bag when I went out. Should I take the money out now to pay?"

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to pay or not."

Runsheng asked: "Xiaoyuan, did we encounter something?"

After all, the phone call couldn't be connected, and it seemed to be directed at him.

However, Runsheng is missing a link, that is, to find the family where Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng live now, because these two lines were not clear when everyone set out.

Without facing... the experience of not being able to find this family, the degree of understanding of the situation will not be so deep.

But Li Zhuiyuan can switch perspectives here, because he has been sitting here for so long, and Yin Meng and Binbin have not been able to find the door, which means another possibility.

Runsheng: "Xiaoyuan, Binbin and Mengmeng, are they delayed on the way and can't come?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head:

"I think they are already in this town."
