what's in the depths

At this time, the mobile phone was like a hot potato, and waves of strong fear invaded Zhu Yuhan's brain.

He tried his best to calm himself down, trying to find some clues about the memories of last night from his brain that was about to shut down.

I thought maybe I was dreaming at that time, because sometimes people are in a half-dream and half-awake state, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams. Maybe it was because I changed to a new environment last night that I was somewhat uncomfortable, so my sleep was very light, and it might be someone else's. The phone really vibrated, which coincided with the dream I had later.

Zhu Yuhan comforted himself in his heart like this.

It is better to muddle along with some things, but to be too particular will make you feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, he didn't plan to ask whose cell phone rang last night, let alone carefully recall the dream last night.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuhan casually deleted the call records of the past month, simply out of sight and out of mind.

After sleeping at noon, some people got up and planned to go out for a walk, while others planned to continue to lie on the bed and make a puddle of mud.

Comrade Huang Jiu, a policeman who shared the bed with Zhu Yuhan, jumped up from the bed without waiting for the person in charge to call him. He hurriedly began to put on his trousers.

I saw him sitting up rubbing his sleepy eyes: "It's only one o'clock, what are you in a hurry for?"

"It's not about to celebrate the New Year, and many juniors have rushed back from outside to celebrate the New Year, especially I heard that the Hakka women here, after being nurtured by both water and soil, are all graceful and graceful, plus that soft and sweet Hokkien accent , Just thinking about it like this makes all my bones crumble."

Huang Jiu clapped his hands in admiration, not forgetting to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva in response to the occasion.

"Then you go, help me buy some local products, and buy whatever you like." Saying that, Zhu Yuhan lay back on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

But this time I couldn't fall asleep.

The sudden sense of fear suppressed his brain thinking, and he was stunned, unable to think of anything, but he couldn't tell where this fear came from.

I took out my mobile phone and swiped through Moments, and I saw that people from the serious crime team were posting food and scenic spots, and they were very happy.

Zhou Xiaoran was the most extreme. He posted in a group and asked everyone if he wanted a facial mask. Combining 63 boxes, he could save up to [-] yuan compared to a single box in China.

Turning off Moments, Zhu Yuhan took the phone and weighed it for a while, then called back to the technical department of the police station, and gave them Fu Huaiyu's phone number, asking them to help contact the communication company to find out from eleven o'clock last night to six o'clock this morning. Did you call your number before the hour?

"What case." The person from the technical department asked.

"It's not a case, it's a private matter."

"I said Captain Zhu, what do you think of us? We are so busy here every day, and we always have to give you a little trouble. We didn't even go on a tour. Is this not enough for you to let us go?"

After all, the other party hung up the phone angrily.

Although what Xiao Ma from the technical department said was quite annoying, but he was right. You can’t always abuse your power. Once a habit is formed, people from the technical department may help correct it today, and it may be the discipline inspection committee that will force the correction tomorrow. up.

But after such a supernatural event happened, Zhu Yuhan felt that it was hard to get over it, and it was never a problem to hold it in his heart.

So, almost reflexively, he thought of Chu Rong.

When I was in the police academy, the teacher would often instill in the students the theory that "animals cannot become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China", firmly believing that all ghosts and snakes are reactionaries, because it is inevitable that the police will inevitably deal with the dead, and they must restore the dead through scientific exploration and analysis. The truth of death, I thought that I would be familiar with it after being in contact with it a lot.

But in fact, the more contact you have, the more you fear death.

And the most frightening thing is not the so-called ghosts and gods, but those little-known secrets.

On the other hand, Chu Rong, he really doesn't believe in those messy "soul theories" and "reincarnation theory". In the eyes of their forensic doctors, the demise of the body means the demise of this person, so Zhu Yuhan hopes that Chu Rong can help this person. Find a scientific theoretical basis for the supernatural event this time.

but--

Chu Rong really went sightseeing with the rest of the team members!

Zhu Yuhan didn't dare to tell Fu Huaiyu that if he found out, he could really fly (di) from home to here, so that the sex that he had worked so hard to hide for so long would really be revealed to the world.

The panicked Captain Xiao Zhu shook his legs while holding his mobile phone, and waited until after [-]:[-] pm before seeing Chu Rong and the others who had arrived late.

As soon as Huang Jiu came back, he bluffed and said:

"Team Zhu, you didn't see it. The village was lively in the afternoon, what a beautiful girl, and the drunken chicken with red meat. It was delicious. It was a great loss in life if you didn't go."

Zhu Yuhan looked at Chu Rong with a look of swallowing dung.

Chu Rong nodded: "Yes, it's really delicious."

"Is there any more tonight?" Zhu Yuhan asked.

"The activity is gone, but the chicken is."

"Then let's go." Zhu Yuhan pointed to the door.

Huang Jiu lay down on the bed, complaining: "Zhu team, you can spare us, this afternoon, my slender legs are almost broken."

With that said, he was about to take off his shoes.

Seeing that the posture was wrong, Zhu Yuhan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't take off, I'll leave right away."

Then, he turned to Chu Rong: "Rongrong~ Are you tired?"

Chu Rong had a bit of embarrassment on his face: "A little bit."

"Really?"

"...Actually, it's okay. I can go with you. That store is quite remote, so it's not easy to find."

Now Zhu Yuhan firmly believed that Chu Rong was not only a good man, but also a sage.

------------

The earth building at night presents an antique look, the red lanterns at the door of each house are lit, and the milky white cooking smoke is hazy. There are several stone tables in the middle of the earth building, which are filled with tea fruits. He took out a square piece of red paper, but nothing was written on the red paper.

The restaurant that sells drunken chicken is actually a room in an earthen building. Even if you walk here in the morning, you won’t notice it if you don’t look carefully.

The two ordered the legendary "delicious enough to cry" Drunken Chicken and Runcai Cake, but couldn't stand the boss's force, and Amway ordered a pot of ebony brew with a temperature of ten degrees. , life is really nourishing and comfortable.

Sure enough, as Huang Jiu said, not coming is really a great loss in life.

Chu Rong seemed to be full, and he was not at all moved by the delicacies in front of him. He just held his chin and watched Xiao Zhu's mouth full, and he kept mumbling something vaguely.

Chu Rong looked at it and laughed, then turned his head and looked out the window.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Zhu Yuhan was full. Zhu Yuhan got up to pay with his general belly, but was told by the proprietress that Chu Rong had already paid in advance.

Zhu Yuhan looked at the wallet, but still asked, "How much?"

After the proprietress reported the price, she also gave a small ume cake as a gift.

The proprietress looks quite young, in her early thirties, she is pitifully thin, her cheeks are sunken, her eye sockets are blackened, and only a pair of eyes are protruding, her appearance is really frightening.

She brushed the broken hair around her ears, packed the ebony cake for Zhu Yuhan, and tied a beautiful bow.

Just as Zhu Yuhan took the small ebony cake, he suddenly felt someone pulling at the hem of his clothes. He turned his head in surprise, and before he could see who was coming, his wrist was severely bitten by him.

Zhu Yuhan let out a low cry of pain, and quickly pulled his hand from the man's mouth.

And the biter was a child, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, with long hair, messily tangled up, a small face that was dark, and could not be seen clearly, with only slightly sharp canine teeth stained on them. with his own blood.

The proprietress shouted, said something in the local dialect, ran out from the counter, hugged the child, and dragged him into the bedroom amidst the child's heart-piercing screams.

Then there were loud slaps and the sound of objects flying in the room.

"It's all right." Chu Rong quickly came up, grabbed Zhu Yuhan's hand and observed carefully.

"It's okay, it's probably because the child is naughty, but it's just a little skinny, it's okay."

Chu Rong ignored his words, dragged him into the back kitchen, turned on the faucet, placed his wound under the running water, and kept washing it with soap:

"I'm worried that the kid might have rabies, and if that's the case, it's going to be a problem."

"It should be all right, this child doesn't look like a typical symptom of rabies." Hearing what Chu Rong said, Zhu Yuhan was also beating a small drum in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm to comfort himself.

"Just in case, get up early tomorrow, and I'll take you to the town for a full body checkup."

Not daring to say hello to the proprietress again, the two of them hurriedly left the humble restaurant without even taking the ebony cake she presented.

At this time, the hour hand just pointed to twelve, and the dull bell rang, like a mysterious whisper in the night, and the sound hit the heart.

The bell struck twelve times, almost seamlessly, and the sound of the suona resounded through the quiet earth building.

As soon as the two of them walked to the courtyard downstairs, they saw a pile of papers flying over, some were red and some were white, and the disturbing suona sound could not tell whether it was mourning or joy.

Then, not far away, a team came here mightily.

They are dressed in red clothes, but wearing white hats, holding suona wind instruments, walking slowly and blowing, the people behind are throwing red notes, while the other side is throwing white notes, it is really shocking to talk about it. Surprised.

The person behind is strong and strong, carrying a sedan chair, the door of the sedan chair is painted with dragons and phoenixes at play, and on both sides of the sedan chair are two little boys holding lanterns, with their heads bowed and silent, following the large group unhurriedly. go forward.

"Is it a local custom to welcome relatives in the early morning?" Zhu Yuhan couldn't help asking.

"Perhaps, many ethnic minorities and countries have their own unique folk customs, which may be similar to ours, or they may be completely opposite, just like the crows are regarded as sacred birds in Japan, but we feel that seeing crows is very strange. Unlucky is a reason."

Zhu Yuhan nodded thoughtfully, and immediately shifted his gaze to the welcoming team.

The sedan chair was slowly lifted to this side, and there was a small window on each side of the sedan chair, covered with tassel curtains.

Zhu Yuhan looked over, curious to see what the bride looked like.

God seemed to have heard his inner expectations, and then a gust of evil wind blew, and the curtain was lifted up by the wind, revealing the red hijab of the bride inside.

Maybe the phoenix crown was too big, or maybe the hijab was too small, but Zhu Yuhan saw half of the bride's face.

The lips are full, the lips are round, and the chin is delicate and small.

But, she was crying.
