The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Since Aunt Qing left Qingfeng Town with Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang, and the range of the bug was only 500 meters, the bug could not continue to track Aunt Qing and the three of them, the best way was to split up.Although it's not safe to act separately, but there are only two of them now, so they can't leave one clue alone.

Ye Qi took the initiative to suggest: "I have a teleportation card, and I can run fast. I'll follow Aunt Qing and the others. You stay in Qingfeng Town and continue to monitor Ren Yuan and the two children. Do you think it's okay?"

Shao Qingge said worriedly: "You act alone, what if you encounter danger?"

Ye Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a lot of control cards in my hand, and I also have a worm king card that you gave me. If it doesn't work, I can still transform into a worm king. The worm king is not afraid of swords and guns, even if it is cut Limbs can also regenerate."

This unlucky sentence made Shao Qingge frowned, and immediately interrupted him in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The insect king is not invincible, and fear of fire is its fatal weakness. If we separate, I won't be able to help you in time you……"

Ye Qi looked up into Shao Qingge's eyes, and said seriously: "But, if we let Aunt Qing's clue go, we won't be able to get the correct answer, and we won't be able to leave this secret room. Don't worry, I can take care of myself." He After a pause, he said again: "I'm more worried about you Mr. Shao. Those rich and willful cards in your hand are not as good as my music cards when you are in trouble."

Facing the boy's serious eyes, Shao Qingge's heart softened, and he gently pressed his shoulder and said, "You are right, there is no reason for us to let go of a clue for nothing. Well, let's split up and keep in touch with each other. In any situation, your own safety is the most important thing, you know?"

Ye Qi nodded cautiously: "You too."

The two looked at each other, Ye Qi said "Take care" with his lips, and then disappeared in a flash.

Aunt Qing's horse obviously didn't have enough to eat and was not running fast, Ye Qi caught up to them within a short while.

Shao Qingge stayed where Ren Yuan lived, observing patiently.The two have been keeping in touch with each other, confirming each other's safety on the one hand, and discussing countermeasures with each other.

I don't know how long it took, but Ye Qi's voice suddenly came from Shao Qingge's mind: "Aunt Qing has brought her two children to Yuezhou, but the situation in Yuezhou is not much better than that in Qingfeng Town. Death from famine will not be much better. There are few people, and there are corpses along the road. Aunt Qing did not enter the city, and settled the two children in a ruined temple outside the city. No one lives in this ruined temple."

Shao Qingge was puzzled: "Broken temple?"

Ye Qi said: "There is a dry well in the ruined temple, in which she hid dry food."

Shao Qingge understood: "So that's it. Something happened to Ren Yuan. Qi Ran had a high fever, fell into a coma, and began to develop red spots on his body. Xiao Yun has been taking care of him."

"Fever persists?" Ye Qi was startled, "Could it be that his severed finger was infected?"

"It's possible. He also had a lot of red spots on his face. He must be infected with chickenpox, which is the same disease as Han Ningshuang." Shao Qingge had chickenpox when he was a child. His parents ordered him not to go out, so he stayed at home and suffered for a week, and soon recovered from his illness.

According to doctors, people who have survived this disease will produce antibodies and obtain lifelong immunity, so that they will not have the same disease again in the future.At that time, he was still young, and Shao Qingge didn't pay attention to this matter after recovering from his illness, but now seeing the red spots on Qi Ran's body, he remembered this experience when he was young.

Ye Qi pondered for a moment, then said: "That is to say, the mother-in-law told the group of people that the children had smallpox, which is highly contagious, and lied to them, and wanted them to send the children away. In fact, these children just got chickenpox. ?”

Shao Qingge nodded: "Well, I had chickenpox when I was a child, and I know about this disease. Both smallpox and chickenpox will have spots on the skin, but the fatality rate is very different. Smallpox has been eradicated in our era, but in ancient times, smallpox It is the most terrible and severe infectious disease, it will be difficult to survive if you have smallpox, right?"

Ye Qi thought, if Professor Xiao was here, there should be more professional explanations for these diseases.Both he and Shao Qingge are laymen and only know superficially.Shao Qingge's analysis is also very reasonable. Ye Qi thought for a while and said, "Something will happen next? The death of the mother-in-law planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts, but the murderer 20 years later, the modus operandi When it comes to 'Ecstasy', how did a few children learn these spells?"

Shao Qingge said: "That's right, this is the key, let's continue to follow up."

Nothing happened for the next whole day, and at night, Qi Ran finally woke up, Zhou Xiaoyun fed him water, Qi Ran's whole body was itchy unbearably, and he kept scratching with his hands, Ren Yuan immediately stopped him: " Ah Ran, don't scratch it, it will leave a scar if scratched."

Qi Ran turned pale, raised his head and asked, "Uncle Ren, can I survive?"

Ren Yuan gently touched his head: "It will definitely work."

Qi Ran stared blankly at the sweet potatoes on the ground, and murmured in a low voice: "My parents died of illness when I was five years old. They didn't leave me money or food. I carried a broken bowl on the street. Begging everywhere... I remember, it was winter, I was only wearing a tattered short coat, and my hands and feet were numb from the cold. It happened that there was a heavy snow that night, and I thought, I should be frozen to death... ..."

Zhou Xiaoyun choked up and said, "Did your mother-in-law save you?"

The corners of Qi Ran's mouth slightly raised, and he said, "It's Grandma and Ning Shuang. When I woke up in a daze, I saw a little girl in red put a cotton robe on me, and stuffed a hot air in my hand." Steaming steamed buns. I haven’t eaten for three days. I thought I was dreaming of a fairy, so I ate up the steamed buns in two bites. My mother-in-law squatted down and looked at me and said, poor child, come back with me, I can’t let you Eat well and drink spicy food, but at least you don’t have to starve and suffer from cold.”

Ren Yuan sat aside, not saying a word.

Zhou Xiaoyun began to cry, while Qi Ran told the story of her mother-in-law intermittently.

The mother-in-law, surnamed Sun, is a foreigner. She came to Qingfeng Town to do business with her husband, and brought a five-year-old son with her.Originally, the family had a harmonious and beautiful life, but unexpectedly, a disease caused her child to die young, and her husband accidentally fell off a cliff and died when she was out.She survived strongly by herself, making a living by making toys, and adopted many orphans in the town.

Ren Yuan was her first adopted child, the same age as her child who died in infancy. She treated Ren Yuan as her own son, and passed on the skill of making rattles to Ren Yuan; the second adopted child was Aunt Qing; Han Ningshuang, Qin Feng, Qi Ran and the youngest Zhou Xiaoyun.

For these children, the mother-in-law is their savior and their only relative in the world.

Qi Ran took out a rattle from his bosom, choked up and said, "This is a gift from my mother-in-law for my ninth birthday. There was no famine at that time, and my mother-in-law told me that she would teach me how to make rattles. I didn't expect... "

Ren Yuan sighed softly, pressed his shoulders and said, "Aran, don't be sad, mother-in-law doesn't want you to be so sad in heaven. You are sick now, so take care of your health first... Mother-in-law, she must hope that you can be well." live on."

Qi Ran wiped away his tears indiscriminately, nodded and said, "I will survive. I didn't freeze to death when I was five years old, and now, I won't starve to death either." A trace of determination flashed in the little boy's eyes, he gritted his teeth Said: "When I grow up, I must seek revenge from these people!"

Zhou Xiaoyun said seriously: "Brother Ran, let's avenge my mother-in-law together!"

The children's words don't have to be taken seriously. They were stimulated by the death of their mother-in-law today, and their hearts are full of hatred. But when they grow up, it's still uncertain who will be the one to do it.

Ye Qi suddenly said in his mind: "The children attach great importance to their mother-in-law. Could it be that they collaborated to commit the crime?"

After thinking about it carefully, Shao Qingge also thought that this possibility was very high. He said: "At present, one group of Qi Ran, Zhou Xiaoyun, Qin Feng, and Han Ningshuang are in Qingfeng Town, and the other group is in Yuezhou. Maybe we will meet again. I remember that Qin Feng returned to Qingfeng Town many years later, and became the mayor of the town right away. Another point, he has never been married?"

Ye Qi said: "Yes! I also remember that at that time, the waiter said that the threshold of Qin Feng's house was about to be broken by matchmakers, but all the matchmakers were rejected by him. He said that he already had a marriage contract and would wait for his sweetheart... Will it be?" Yes, the sweetheart he mentioned is Han Ningshuang who grew up with him?"

Shao Qingge nodded and said: "I think so too. If the person he is waiting for is Han Ningshuang, it means that the two of them separated later, and Qin Feng has been waiting for her. Now that they are separated, Han Ningshuang may also learn that kind of enchantment ?”

Ye Qi had a headache and said: "We can't follow them for more than ten years and wait for them to grow up?"

Shao Qingge was silent for a moment, and said: "We must find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, we will starve to death in this famine world. Because this time we didn't stockpile any food in advance, and only had a supply card in our hands."

Milk, instant noodles, mineral water, chocolate, these are the only things in the supply bag, and each secret room world can only be used once, two adults, how many days can such a small amount of food last?

Ye Qi smiled wryly and said: "The famine world really doesn't allow us to stay for too long, unless we grab other people's food, but in that case it will cut off their livelihood. I drink milk and eat these things in the supply card every day. Chocolate and mineral water, one day of instant noodles, can persist for three days, can we solve the case within three days? If not, we have to eat leaves..."

Shao Qingge pressed his temple and said, "Do your best, I hope new clues will appear within three days."

For the next whole day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi only drank a bottle of milk.In the evening, a strong sense of hunger struck, and the food in the town had already been looted. Shao Qingge didn't want to grab Ren Yuan's sweet potatoes and affect the potential murderer, so he could only hold on.

Ye Qi is familiar with the way, and has already gone to search some weeds around the ruined temple to satisfy his hunger.

The next day, Ren Yuan, Aunt Qing and the children did not behave abnormally either.

Shao Ye and the others ate the chocolate in the supply bag and drank half a bottle of mineral water.

The hunger is so strong that it cannot be ignored, the stomach is empty, and the gastrointestinal tract with strong peristalsis seems to be clamoring for the owner to feed food, and the stomach keeps making gurgles.Shao Qingge was a rich second generation, and he was pampered and pampered since he was a child. He couldn't afford to eat whatever he wanted. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of "hunger".

He finally understood how much the common people suffered during the famine.Under the extreme hunger, human nature began to distort. The phenomenon of cannibalism sounds terrible, but it was also a real chaos at that time.

He was so uncomfortable after only being hungry for two days. How difficult would it be for those poor people who have no food?I'm afraid I really want to eat soil and leaves.

Thinking of the corpses scattered on the side of the road, Shao Qingge felt complicated.

On the third day, Shao Qingge ate the last pack of instant noodles in the supply pack.There is no hot water to cook the noodles, so they can only be eaten dry.

However, nothing happened that day, Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun were taking care of the sick Qi Ran, while Ye Qi, Aunt Qing was also trying to get food for the two children.

On the fourth day, the contents of the supply package had been eaten up, so we had to find a way to find something to eat.

Shao Qingge turned around, there were no leaves or weeds near Qingfeng Town, he was so hungry that he had no energy to walk, Ye Qi felt his thoughts through his heart, and suddenly had an idea, said: "Why don't you go to Peach Blossom Land , there are peach blossom trees and a river, where you can eat something to satisfy your hunger."

Shao Qingge gave Ye Qi one piece of Tao Yuanming before he left, and kept one for himself.

Hearing this, both of them opened the Taohuayuan and entered the independent space of the Taohuayuan.

Drink river water and eat peach blossoms.

Xiao Lou's Peach Blossom Spring has always been used for team teleportation. He never thought that one day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi would actually go to Peach Blossom Spring to eat peach blossom petals to satisfy their hunger...

Ye Qi smiled wryly: "If Professor Xiao knew that we used his Taohuayuan like this, how would he react?"

Shao Qingge said: "If you can survive, don't care about these details. You know this, it's our secret."

Ye Qi nodded: "Well, I won't tell people that Mr. Shao has eaten a lot of peach blossoms."

Shao Qingge; "..."

The two were chatting with each other with a tacit understanding across the distance.Although Ye Qi was also very hungry this time, having Shao Qingge with him was much better than the nightmare chamber that 3 of Spades faced alone.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Shao Qingge's voice in his mind: "There is movement."

Ye Qi cheered up immediately: "What's wrong?"

Shao Qingge said: "Qi Ran's fever has subsided, and most of his illness has recovered, he sneaked out by himself while Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, sitting in a corner, reading a very strange book under the moonlight. "

Ye Qi was stunned: "Book? Could it be something related to magic?"

Shao Qingge said: "There are some strange spells drawn on it, and I can't understand them, but this book is certainly not simple."

Ye Qi nodded: "This child is not simple."
