I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Ji Qinglin raised his eyes and looked around again, only to realize that all the houses in this town had their doors and windows closed, without exception, even those restaurants and shops with banners.

It's so quiet here, not even a dog barks.

Ji Qinglin couldn't help frowning: "Why is this town so... so dead?"

I didn’t feel like this when I was in Yunzhou City yesterday. The night market was still very lively after nightfall, and there was a lot of people’s voices. But at this time, the lights were not lit, and the town seemed to be asleep. If it wasn’t for a few wisps of cooking smoke, It's almost like no one lives here.

Xie Wuyi did not say anything, looked at the places where a few cooking smoke rose, and walked towards one of the inns.

The door panels of this inn are inserted neatly, and there are occasional gaps between the wooden boards, but because the room is dark, nothing can be seen through the gaps.

Xie Wuyi raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. There was no response for a while, but he could faintly hear footsteps. Although it was slight, he could hear someone approaching the door.

Ji Qinglin and Xie Wuyi looked at each other, and then they knocked too, with a little more force than Xie Wuyi, and more compactly.

Finally, someone inside whispered vigilantly, "Who?"

The voice was not far from the door, even right next to the door. I don't know if he was looking at them through the crack of the door. Ji Qinglin replied: "Please open the door, we will stay here."

Almost without thinking, the man immediately said: "The shop is full, the guest officer should go elsewhere."

Full house?Ji Qinglin frowned suspiciously, and looked at Xie Wuyi.

Xie Wuyi took out a waist card-like object from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Qinglin, it looked like it was made by the government, Ji Qinglin smiled knowingly, and said to the man inside the door: "To be honest, the two of us are from the government. I ordered you to come here to investigate the case, and I would like to ask the shopkeeper to make it easier for you."

The person inside was silent for a long time, so long that Ji Qinglin wondered if he had already left, but a door panel in front of him shook at this moment, and was moved half an inch away.

A middle-aged man showed his face, his face was still very vigilant, and said: "The two are really officials?"

Ji Qinglin hung the token in his hand in front of him, the man took a closer look, then nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and while removing the door panel, he sighed: "Oh, you are finally here."

When Ji Qinglin heard it, why did it sound like he was expecting the government to come and interrogate him?Could it be that something really happened here?

The man invited the two of them to sit in the middle of the door, lit the candles on the table, and limped back to the door to close the door panel, as if his legs and feet were not very agile.

Ji Qinglin asked: "Is the eldest brother the owner of this shop? What's the name?"

"Yes, my surname is Zhong," the man replied while pouring a pot of tea, and said awkwardly, "The two officials didn't wear official uniforms, and they looked strange, so I didn't dare to say anything for a long time. , I have neglected the two of you, please don't blame the official."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ji Qinglin replied with a smile, but felt strange in his heart: since it is an inn, there must be a lot of new faces among the guests, why would he not dare to open the door because of unfamiliar faces?

Thinking about it, Ji Qinglin stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Zhong, stop standing there, sit down and talk slowly."

Brother Zhong nodded, sat down at the table, and said eagerly: "You two, have you gone to the mountains to see it? Did you find anything?"

Ji Qinglin was confused: in the mountains?Did something happen in the mountains?

Ji Qinglin didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he understood without moving: "I haven't been there yet, I plan to learn about the situation here first."

"That's right, that's right," Brother Zhong echoed again and again, "This matter is so weird, it's better to be on the safe side."

Weird?

Ji Qinglin was puzzled and asked, "Brother Zhong, what do you know? Can you tell me?"

Brother Zhong nodded, but he seemed a little uneasy. He licked his lips and said, "This matter, we have to start from a month ago..."

There is a villa in Luming Mountain, which has the same name as the mountain, and takes deer as its surname. It has been in the medicinal material business for generations, and its family is well-off.

Although the current owner of the villa has just passed his thirties, he is calm, honest and kind, and has an excellent reputation in the business field.

The daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food and fabrics used by the villa are all purchased in this small town, and because the medicinal materials of Luming Villa are of high quality, many medicine merchants from nearby towns are willing to come here to buy goods. Stop here to rest, so the inns, restaurants, and shops in this small town have benefited a lot from Luming Villa.

The owner and his wife are very affectionate. They gave birth to a boy a few years ago. The child is smart and cute. He often follows the servants who are in charge of purchasing in the village to play down the mountain. Although he is young, he is not naughty at all. He treats everyone with respect. He is polite, and the people in the town love him very much.

A month ago, the child jumped up and down the mountain to announce the good news, spreading wedding candy everywhere, saying that his parents had added younger brothers and sisters to him, and that he would have playmates in the future.

Someone asked him with a smile, "Is Tim Tim's younger brother or younger sister?"

The child gesticulated with both hands and said happily: "A younger brother, a younger sister, twins!"

Only then did everyone know that the owner's wife gave birth to the rare dragon and phoenix twins, which is really a joy.

Therefore, each family carefully prepared congratulatory gifts and sent them to the villa. Although there were no precious things, they were all a heartfelt gift.The owner of the villa didn't refuse, and accepted all the things in the future, but gave everyone a red envelope to return the gift.

Luming Villa has always acted like this, and it is precisely because the owner of the villa is such a person that everyone in the villa and even the people down the mountain are convinced and respectful of him.

After a few days, Young Master Lu came down the mountain again, but this time it was different, his face was full of sadness, as if he was very worried.

Everyone was concerned and asked him what was going on. You must know that he always smiled when he saw everyone on weekdays, and he had never shown such a disappointed expression.

Only after making some inquiries did I find out that the pair of twins newly added by Zhuang Zhong had something unusual.

It stands to reason that as long as a newly born child has sound limbs, neat facial features, and can eat and sleep, there is nothing that can be called abnormal.But these two children have never cried or made any noise since the day they were born, they just stared blankly at the sky, no matter how the people around them teased them, they did not respond.

Except for eating and drinking, they are like two puppets.

The owner of the farm has been in the business of medicinal materials all year round, and he has some friendship with many medical centers. When this happened, he hurriedly invited several famous doctors to come to diagnose and treat the child, but none of them could diagnose what kind of disease it was.

The so-called rush to the doctor in a hurry, the owner of the villa saw that so many famous doctors were helpless, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He actually found some quack warlocks, witches and Taoists from nowhere to "drive away the nightmare" in the village.

One of those people, a blind woman, said that the two children might not have enough life expectancy, and they had to receive more blessings.

The owner of the villa hurriedly asked what kind of Nafa Fuyuan was, and the sorceress said, when the two children are full moon, they can entertain guests in the villa, but not just anyone, the invited guests must be He is a long-lived person who is at least seventy years old.The gathering of long-lived people here will make the place full of good fortune and longevity, which will definitely help the two children.

When the owner heard it, although this method is mysterious, it is not too troublesome to do it, but it is just to prepare a few more tables for banquets.Since there is no better way for the time being, it might as well treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and give him a try.

Therefore, he sent invitations everywhere to invite people of high longevity to come to the manor for the full moon banquet, and all the necessary expenses for carriages and horses were arranged by Luming Villa.

And the period of the full moon was yesterday.

……

Hearing this, Ji Qinglin and Xie Wuyi looked at each other.Both of them had already thought that the twins might be the masters of the two memories indicated by Yupei.

As for the symptoms they showed, Ji Qinglin speculated that it might have something to do with memory, but it didn't matter, just ask Xie Wuyi for confirmation later.

The important thing is that the two children's full moon was yesterday, and the last time Ji Qinglin saw the silver bell and silk thread on the jade pendant was also yesterday, could this be a coincidence?

Ji Qinglin reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "It's a full moon banquet, and it's also a happy event, but the eldest brother just said that it's weird, but what's wrong with this full moon banquet?"

"Isn't it?" Brother Zhong took the cup, frowned and said worriedly, "From the early morning yesterday, cars drove past our town one after another to go to the mountains, and those old people invited by the owner were sitting in them. We didn't have too much Don't worry, until about [-] o'clock in the evening, a young man came down from the village and said that the old people who had been invited had a good drink, and there was not enough wine at the banquet, so let's quickly bring some good wine back to the mountain with him."

"The shopkeepers of us are all in the prime of life, and our hands and feet are nimble. We quickly prepared all the good wines in our cellars, loaded them into the truck, and shipped them to the mountains with the boy. Who would have thought that when we arrived at the villa, the door was open and the wine tables were open. They are still there, and the lights are still on, but no one has disappeared!"

"It's gone?" Ji Qinglin asked, "Is the banquet over?"

"Definitely not!" Brother Zhong stared wide-eyed, as if he had lingering fear in his heart, "We circled around the village and searched the front yard and backyard, but we didn't find anyone. The old people who attended the banquet were gone. , the original people in the village disappeared! The whole villa was dead silent, and the wind was blowing, it was terrifying! We were so frightened that we didn’t even bother to take the wine, so we ran down the mountain in a hurry!”

After finishing speaking, he rolled up his right trouser leg and said, "Look, my leg fell when I went down the mountain last night, and I'm still limping!"

Ji Qinglin took a look, and saw that the wound on the knee was really not small, and it looked like it had just scabbed over, so it must be a new wound.He thought for a while, then asked again: "Just now you said that those old people came here by car? Then when you went last night, were their cars and horses still there?"

"It's even more strange to talk about this!" Brother Zhong slapped his thigh and said, "The mountain road that can drive horses and horses in Luming Mountain only leads to the middle of the mountain, and there are stone steps from the mountainside. Every time we send things up, the board for carrying goods The car can only be parked on the mountainside, and then the goods are carried into the village from the stone steps with manpower."

"When we arrived at the mountainside last night, there were still a lot of cars and horses parked there, and several drivers gathered around to gamble. One of them seemed to be a little impatient, and shouted at us to let us go up. Always remember to help them ask when the banquet will end. But when we ran down the mountain, there was no car there!"
