The middle-aged woman stood beside the coffin, her eyes closed tightly as if she could see things, quietly watching Ling Dong inside the coffin, because of the impulsiveness of the previous brash, the neat shroud on Ling Dong's body was already a little wrinkled, and the torn paper The flowers covered her ruddy face, coupled with her messy short hair, making her look a bit embarrassed.

And beside the middle-aged woman, the reckless man stood quietly.

The 1.9-meter tall man was imprisoned by the old woman embedded in his body at the moment. His whole body was bent like the old woman's previous height. His skin gradually dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hair gradually faded to gray.

It seems that the reckless man has not lost his last struggle. The only eyes that can be controlled by himself reveal an unbearable pleading. But looking at him at the moment, others don't say step forward to help, even avoid looking at him. Get in touch with him.

The servants carefully cleaned the chaotic mourning hall, and no one dared to talk to the middle-aged woman.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall was very solemn, everyone including Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang didn't know whether to stay or leave, they could only wait quietly in place.

After a long time, the middle-aged woman finally spoke, and the servants hurriedly presented the spare shroud.

Without the middle-aged woman asking, Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang took the initiative to leave the mourning hall, and the rest of them also reacted, and hurriedly left from the corridor outside the mourning hall, but they didn't dare to go far, walking in twos and threes in the corner of the outside yard Walking or sitting bored, except for the man with a bamboo pole and the man with a greasy head, all of them have sad expressions on their faces.

Ding Chiyu noticed that the bamboo pole man and the oily man seemed to be paying attention to the time. In just a short while, they had checked their mobile phones many times. At the same time, they inadvertently cast their eyes on the pebble road in the distance, as if they were waiting for someone.

Ding Chiyu thought about it for a while, and immediately realized that he seemed to have never seen Lu Yao and her female companion since this morning.

Thinking of this, Ding Chiyu looked around and confirmed his judgment: Except for Lu Yao and her female companion, the other participants who entered the blind spot are all here at the moment who are not dead.

"They are here." Shang Yang reminded in a low voice, Ding Chiyu raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Lu Yao's faint figure in the rockery group: she was with another female follower, and tried to be inconspicuous under the cover of the rockery plants The man with the bamboo pole and the man with the oily head merged together.

After the four met, they immediately walked to a rockery. Under the cover of the rockery, they seemed to be communicating with each other.

"Did she go to Ling Dong's room?" Ding Chiyu looked at Shang Yang.

Shang Yang shook his head: "Er Ba is guarding over there, if there is news, he will be back long ago."

Ding Chiyu saw that Shang Yang's eyes watching Lu Yao from afar suddenly froze, and just about to ask, Shang Yang had already pulled him to the rockery quietly.

The rockery is arranged very imposingly, and the vines are neatly arranged, but because it is a little airtight, it looks a bit stuffy here.

Shang Yang quickly found the gap in the rockery that Lu Yao had drilled through when he came here. Seeing that Shang Yang was bending over to take a closer look, Ding Chiyu quickly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate him.

Soon, Shang Yang found what he was looking for. Following his line of sight, Dingchiyu also saw the true face of the thing. On the wet ground, several footprints could be seen faintly.

After being signaled by Shang Yang, Dingchiyu brought the flashlight closer, only to see a very light maroon on the edge of the footprints, which was locked by Shang Yang's sight.

Shang Yang took out a paper towel, picked up the reddish brown, carefully observed it, twisted it, seemed to have a judgment, looked up at Dingchiyu: "Akong, remember what I showed you about this blind spot topographic map?"

Ding Chiyu nodded, he had already seen that the maroon color seemed to be some kind of soil particles, Shang Yang's reminder, he quickly remembered something: "I remember that only Ling Dong's cemetery is surrounded by red soil, could it be that , Lu Yao didn't show up this morning, did she go there to investigate?"

Shang Yang nodded, agreeing with Ding Chiyu's judgment: "It seems that she should be a little anxious."

As soon as the two of them came out of the rockery, the servants had already come out to invite everyone. When they entered the mourning hall, Ding Chiyu carefully observed Lu Yao and the people beside her, and he didn't seem to be able to tell from their expressions that they had already passed away. There are some signs of progress, but there is still some red soil on the edge of Lu Yao's shoes, which seems to have not been cleaned up in time.

The mourning hall has been reorganized as before, the only difference is that there is another white paper flower in the center of the large wreath.

Facing the crowd with different expressions, the middle-aged woman quickly explained her intentions, she was about to see her off, and hoped that everyone could say goodbye to Ling Dong again, so that she could go on the road with peace of mind.

In the oppressive atmosphere, no one took the initiative to promise anything, everyone silently followed the arrangement of the middle-aged woman, one by one mechanically stepped forward to bid farewell to Ling Dong, and said things that didn't hurt or itch.

The middle-aged woman was the same as the first time. After everyone said goodbye, she would grab that person and ask carefully.

"Is my daughter pretty?"

"Does she have a pretty mouth?"

"Are her eyes pretty?"

"Is her skin beautiful?"

"Is her hair ~ hair ~ beautiful?"

When the middle-aged woman asked a question, she opened her tightly closed eyes, and her dark eye sockets looked directly into the eyes of the answerer, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.

Although her voice is still gentle, the answering person hears it like winter ice. Although she is worried, she can't ask others for help, so she can only spit out the word "beautiful" as calmly as possible in fear, lest Same thing happened with the guy with glasses.

Ding Chiyu, Shang Yang, and Lu Yao were the only group of four who responded calmly, but when the answer was over, Ding Chiyu looked at the warm smile of the middle-aged woman, but couldn't feel any warmth at all. .

Finally, the farewell ceremony for all the people was over, and it was time to have lunch.

Most people have no appetite. The only reason they sit in the dining hall is that it is a little more at ease here than where they live. They are tortured by what happened one after another, and they have not been able to sleep or eat for the past few days. They all looked rather haggard, and everyone seemed to be a few years older.

However, this does not affect the appetite of Dingchiyu and Shang Yang, because they understand that in this blind spot, only taking good care of themselves is the most important condition for survival.

Er Ba, who came back, told the two that Ling Dong's room was always being guarded. Before it left, people from Lu Yao's side wanted to try to enter again, but they couldn't even get close to it. Discussed while eating.

The pace of the blind spot mission this time was much faster than the previous two. Seeing the passage of time, except that the core of this mission must be related to the dead Ling Dong, the two still did not find very useful clues, and the participant died. The frequency was extremely high, and tomorrow it was the turn of the two to watch the night during the day, and the two decided that no matter what, they must go to Ling Dong's room to investigate tonight.

After the discussion, Shang Yang specially explained to Ding Chiyu the origin of "send three", and told Ding Chiyu a few points according to his own judgment, and Ding Chiyu remembered them one by one.

Lu Yao's group of four came last, and after the rest of the people who had been muttering together confirmed it again, they mustered up the courage to stand up as two representatives and came to Lu Yao's table.

They seemed to be quite critical of Lu Yao's solo actions, so their voices quickly became louder, and it was impossible for Ding Chiyu not to listen.

They seem to want Lu Yao to make a promise, and hope that she can share all the information with them as she said before. After all, there are examples of reckless people before, and there are a few veterans among them. They all knew how much Lu Yao contributed to the flames inside.

Ding Chiyu, who was watching the play from a distance, did not expect that the rest of the people who were obedient to Lu Yao on the surface would express themselves so simply and rudely.

Lu Yao calmed them down with kind words, and within a few words, she had cleared the matter of the reckless man from herself, and redefined the relationship between her and other people: not subordinates, but equal status partner.

Listening to Lu Yao's explanation of her actions, although the expressions on the faces of the rest of the people are still not very good-looking, the tense atmosphere between them has eased down.

Ding Chiyu was too lazy to watch this kind of monkey show, after eating with Shang Yang, the two of them didn't go back to their room, but came to the gazebo in front of the main building, leaning against Shang Yang, Ding Chiyu fell asleep for a while.

The servants came early to invite each other, Dingchiyu washed his face, and Shang Yang took Erba, followed the servants to the pier beside the river.

All the participants had already gathered, and no one was left behind, but most of them looked very bad.

The mist on the river had dissipated, and it was the first time for Dingchiyu to see the whole river. The scenery was beautiful, but there were no living things or life in the river and the opposite stone road. The dead silence made people feel a little depressing.

There are three black-covered boats moored on the river, each of which is equipped with paper-wrapped chariots and horses to use the servant treasure tree, and the Taoist priests who have not seen before are chanting the mantra of rebirth on the leading one.

A group of people were assigned to different boats, Ding Chiyu and Shang Yang were not separated, except for the old woman who stayed behind to guard Ling Dong, it seemed that everyone who could meet these days had joined this line.

The boatman who led the way for Dingchiyu led the boatman to drive the boat along the river with an order.

The river course was densely covered with spider webs. Dingchiyu and Shang Yang tried their best to memorize the topography of the river course without admiring the scenery. Lu Yao and his followers were also interested. On the back of the river, I drew the distribution of the river with stick figures.
