Liu Mazi's yard is at the foot of the mountain, not far from the village. There is a vegetable field in front of it, with vegetables growing well. Looking in from the open gate, you can see a few hens walking freely in the yard. Under the eaves of the wooden door, there is a small red lantern hanging. Over time, the red color has begun to fade, and it looks a little bleak in the autumn wind. There are also a few simple farm tools standing by the door.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this is just an ordinary farmer's yard.

"We're here." Farmer Liu rubbed the corner of his clothes and stopped at the door in a slightly reserved manner. He explained in a simple and honest manner, "This is a poor family's house, it's a little simple, it's just a roof that can shelter us from the wind and rain, don't mind it."

Yuan Ge followed him inside, but her steps were involuntarily lighter, but she still greeted him with a smile, "Brother, that's not true. You saved my sister and me from the gangsters and lent me your home to stay temporarily. It's a great favor, and my sister and I can't thank you enough."

"Sister" responded honestly in a low voice, "Yeah."

Farmer Liu discovered that this "sister" probably really didn't like to talk much and was very reserved. She would only respond reluctantly to show her approval when her "sister" mentioned "sisters". They were two completely different personalities... Just like me at that time, I had my brother to take care of everything, so I didn't have to worry about anything...

"It's not a favor. My yard is empty anyway. You can stay here as long as you want. The vegetables are ready-made in the vegetable garden. If you want to eat, tell your sister-in-law. She cooks delicious dishes..." Farmer Liu said as he welcomed the people in. He stood on the threshold with one hand holding the wooden door, as if waiting for the two girls to enter the yard and close the door.

Yuan Ge took two steps inside, pulled his "sister" in front of him, looked at the faint light and shadow on the window in front of him, and smiled with his eyebrows lowered, "Brother Liu's yard... looks familiar."

"The yards of farmers' houses all look the same, there's nothing special about them..." The other person laughed and didn't take it seriously. He closed the door and bolted it. He was about to turn around and follow them, but when he turned around, he saw that the two sisters didn't go in. He was slightly stunned and was about to say, "Come in..."

Before she finished speaking, the "sister" seemed to suddenly remember something, "When we first arrived in Shengjing, we met the old man when we were asking about our cousin's residence in the streets and alleys. Coincidentally, the old man's surname was also Liu. He was very enthusiastic and gave us a bowl of water to drink... So we sat in his yard. The old man's legs were not good..."

Even though the farmer surnamed Liu was wearing a wide hood, one could tell at a glance that his whole body was stiff. His fingertips twisted and curled, and finally clenched into fists.

The "sister" seemed to be unaware and was still sighing, "What a poor man. I heard that the eldest son died many years ago, and now the youngest son is also missing... It's really not easy to make a living in this big city! Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" She "behind the scenes" noticed the other party's abnormality and asked in surprise, "Are you... okay?"

"Brother Liu" clenched his hands tightly, his whole body was shaking, as if he was desperately suppressing a monster that was clamoring to rush out of his body. However, the monster had been hiding in his body for too long, and its power was too strong, so he couldn't suppress it at all... So, he trembled for a long time, and suddenly raised his head. The force was so great that the wide-brimmed hat was overturned and fell to the ground slowly, revealing a face with pockmarks on half of his side. His face was ferocious, and he looked more and more ugly and terrifying.

He seemed to have transformed into that monster, roaring at Yuan Ge with all his might, "Is he pitiful?! If he hadn't been too greedy and courted death, how could he have ended up like this? He killed my mother, he killed my eldest brother, he killed everyone, and now he wants to kill me. He deserves it!"

He was so excited that he couldn't stop shaking even after saying these words. His chest rose and fell. He saw the woman coming out of the house and was slightly startled. The ferocious look on his face quickly disappeared, and turned into a cold and dejected look. He called out softly, "Jin Niang..."

Jin Niang...which Jin?

Yuan Ge was startled and stood there stiffly... Even though he had just noticed that there was someone in the room and guessed that it might be that person, it was still different to hear someone calling a similar name.

How could she not know that using herself as bait was a very dangerous thing? But if that person was really Jin Su, Yuan Ge still wanted to see her before anyone else found her. She even thought about what to say after they met. But, when that person really stood behind her, she suddenly had the urge to run away.

The clouds pressed down little by little, and the sunlight disappeared behind the dark clouds, not being able to penetrate at all. Only a layer of light golden light was visible outside the clouds, which looked vast and lonely.

Yuan Ge stared at the halo in a trance. For a moment, he was curious. Is there a ninth heaven above the clouds? If so, in the eyes of the gods in the ninth heaven, would the people on earth be as insignificant as ants? What are the love and hate that they think is bone-eroding in the eyes of the gods? Perhaps, it is nothing... Just like people watching ants busying around, have they ever paid attention to the ups and downs of love and hate of a particular ant?

She felt a sense of sadness for no reason. She turned to look at the masked woman standing on the threshold. In her familiar eyes, there was a completely unfamiliar emotion. She glanced at the two of them casually, and then landed on Liu Mazi's face. She said in a gloomy tone, "Since you brought guests here, why are you roaring in the yard? What if you disturbed the guests and neighbors? You two girls have come from afar, please come in and have a cup of tea."

It is hard to say what kind of tea it is. The only thing that is certain is that this place is quite far away from the neighbors, and no one would be able to hear him even if he shouted at the top of his lungs. So the distinguished guest naturally became a fish on the chopping board.

Yuan Ge didn't know how many innocent women from other places Liu Mazi had deceived with this method, but it seemed that the number of missing girls was far greater than the list in Yao Yunfeng's hand. She lowered her head and pursed her lips, "It's a coincidence today. I met people with similar names. First it was the lame old man from the Liu family, and now I heard about this Jinniang... I don't know which Jin character it is. My master has an old friend who is about the same age as you and also has the character Jin in her name..."

The word "sister-in-law" suddenly became unbearable. She pulled the corners of her mouth and raised her eyelids to look over, her eyes playful and neither avoiding nor giving way, "Madam, do you cover your face at home?"

The whitewashed peace was finally broken, and the other party looked at him with suspicion and fear.
