Christmas

"what?"

Hearing Shi Xie's words, Xia Yao was startled, his eyes had already glanced at the surrounding crowd and began to patrol, but Shi Xie quickly held his head down.

"Don't look around, I'm not very sure now, I just feel that someone is following us. Don't startle the snake, and then adapt to the situation."

Xia Yao shook Xiao Shen's hand and nodded solemnly.Looking at the appearance of his two parents, Xiao Shen tilted his head curiously, but was soon attracted by other novelties.

"Wow~ This is the first time I've seen a sacrificial event, it's completely different from the ones on TV~."

Wu Meng clasped his hands in front of his chest in the shape of Xizi holding a heart, Xia Yao looked at him blankly, his eyes were already numb, he had already broken through the ultimate meaning of hot eyes.

"Every place has unique folk customs, so of course the sacrificial process is also different. People in this ancient town worship the god of fire, and the pattern on the mask worn by the high priest is the totem of the village. And rice is used as a worship medium, because they believe that rice is the purest and most aura-rich crop in the world."

"Qinghe, you know a lot."

Wu Meng stared at Duan Qinghe with sparkling eyes, and the meaning of admiration almost burst out of his eyes.

"I just checked some information when I came here."

Duan Qinghe smiled kindly and said modestly.

Wu Meng nodded, then curled his lips suddenly, and continued in a regretful tone:

"It's a pity that you are not my type. I really admire Mr. Shi the most!"

Turn around and stare at still expressionless

+. , very cold Shi Xie, Wu Meng wished he could pounce on him directly.But when he saw Xia Yao next to him, Wu Meng pouted a little aggrievedly.

Xia Yao held Shi Xie's hand subconsciously, and the classic line from X Yao's classic TV series suddenly floated in his mind.

It's just that the heroine's charming face was replaced by Wu Meng's frozen human face, Xia Yao made up his mind and couldn't help but fight a cold war

Wu Meng's eyes were full of tears, and he squeezed the orchid fingers.

You are ruthless, you are cruel, you are vexatious!

Shi Xie looked indifferent.

Where am I ruthless, where am I cruel, where am I making trouble for no reason!

Xia Yao swallowed, his palms were sweating.Seeing Xia Yao's mind-wandering look, Shi Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.This person has been abnormal since he came here, and now he doesn't know what to think.

Being pulled by Shi Xie, Xia Yao came back to his senses in an instant, lowered his head and coughed, and he also felt that he had been a little overcompensated recently.

Hu Ting and Park Zhenghao dutifully played the role of Bingshan, and did not shift their attention to them at all.

"Okay, it's almost 10:30 now, do you want to go back, or continue shopping."

Duan Qinghe broke the somewhat weird atmosphere with a sound, and asked with a smile.

Xia Yao looked up at the sky, it was cloudy today, the sun was not very strong, and the temperature was neither too cold nor too hot, it was just the right time for a trip

good weather.

"The weather is so good, let's go around again."

"Well, I heard from the proprietress that there is a small river in the back mountain. The water is very clear and flows out of the spring. And maybe we can meet swimming fish. Let's go over there and have a look."

"Yuyu, Yuyu, Xiao Shen wants to see it!"

As soon as he heard that there was a small fish, Xiao Shen immediately cried out happily.Xia Yao pampered his little head, Duan Qinghe led the way, and the group went to the back mountain he mentioned.

The back mountain is just a low hill, and the lush trees form a unique scenery on the mountain, full of vitality.

The environment on the mountain is also very good, the air is very fresh and refreshing.

After entering the back mountain, a few people saw the small river not long after walking. The water flow was not strong, and the spring water was crystal clear. You could also see the smooth and round pebbles at the bottom of the river washed by the water.

Seeing such a scene, several people couldn't help feeling a burst of joy in their hearts.Wu Meng couldn't help jumping into the water with excitement. Even Hu Ting and Park Zhenghao took off their shoes and got into the water to enjoy the cool water under their feet.

Xiao Shen walked into the water with Xia Yao with bare feet, and Xiao Shen stretched his hand into the water excitedly to paddle.While playing, I suddenly saw a small dark gray thumb-sized fish swimming out from the crevice of the stone.

Eyes widened in surprise, Xiao Shen let out a small exclamation.Xia Yao also saw the little fish, and bent down slightly to watch the little fish swimming leisurely with Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen stared at the swimming figure of the little fish with a serious puffed face, and suddenly stretched out his small hand to quickly grab the little fish.

It's just that the fish was also very nimble, and jumped away quickly the moment Xiao Shen stretched out his hand.So it took a long time, and Xiao Shen still couldn't catch this little fish.

And this little fish seems to be teasing Xiaocan. When Xiaocan catches it, it immediately swims away.

Xiao Shen puffed his face, but he wasn't angry in his heart. He didn't really want to catch that little fish, but just wanted to play with it.

Shi Xie sat on the bank and watched Xia Yao and Xiao Shen who were having a great time playing. It was rare for him to lazily enjoy the cool breeze from the forest. the back of the head.

Being gently blown by the breeze, Shi Xie felt a little drowsy, and moved his feet soaked in the river water out of the water.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Shouting to Xia Yao and the others, Shi Xie slowly stood up.It was noon, and the sun had completely poked its head out from the clouds, and the brilliant and excessive sunlight covered the entire town, and the sunlight exposed from the branches left mottled tree shadows on the ground.

"it is good."

Xia Yao raised his head and responded to Shi Xie, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the water on Xiao Shen's face.

"Mom, are we going back?"

Xiao Shen raised his face and asked Xia Yao to wipe his face obediently, with a hint of reluctance in his big eyes.

"Yes, isn't Xiao Shen hungry now?"

"Hmm... Xiao Shen is hungry."

Xiao Shen pouted and touched his stomach, and felt that his stomach was already empty.Xia Yao smiled, took his hand and led him to

On the shore, the little dark gray fish seemed to know that Xiaocan and the others were going to leave. After circling Xiaocan's white and tender feet, it slowly swam into the crevice of the rock and disappeared completely.

After putting on the shoes and socks for Xiao Shen, Duan Qinghe and the others also cleaned themselves up one after another.The few people also had a great time playing. The pink shirt on Wu Meng's body was completely soaked, and it was tightly attached to his body, revealing his strong muscles.

Even Duan Qinghe's hair was a little wet, he slowly fiddled with the broken hair on his forehead, trying to dry it quickly.At this time, Duan Qinghe lost some of his usual elegance and alienation, and had more sense of reality.

It's just that who knew that when they returned to the inn, what they saw was not the exquisite meal they were expecting, but a bad thing.

Someone died.

The person who died was one of the three other couples living in the inn, and it was the big boy who spoke rudely at the sacrificial meeting today.His body was being placed in the lobby of the inn, covered with a white cloth.

The atmosphere in the inn was very gloomy, with the cries of the deceased's girlfriend mixed in, which added a gloomy gloomy atmosphere to the already tense atmosphere in the inn.

The proprietress leaned on the counter with an ugly expression on her face, and she forced a smile when she saw them come back.

"I'm sorry, guest officers, we will deliver your meals to your room later, and there is no need to add extra money."

"Miss Boss, this is..."

Duan Qinghe frowned, looked at the corpse covered with a white cloth at the door and asked.

"Sorry."

The proprietress suddenly lowered her voice, and continued to speak with a mysterious look.

"That young man made rude remarks at the sacrifice today, which angered Vulcan, so Vulcan cursed him."

"curse?"

Wu Meng's eyes widened in surprise, his voice was very loud.Naturally, it was heard by the five people sitting in the hall. One of the men, who was comforting the deceased's girlfriend, slammed the table and stood up, glaring at them angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What Vulcan cursed! I just see that your town is very weird, and you still have some sacrifices, and it's mysterious. We've been here for three days and Xiaobin is fine, just because I went to see it today The priest died suddenly when he came back from the trip, who knows if you poisoned Xiao Bin with a grudge because of what he said!"

The man's words were a bit harsh, and he wanted to push all the responsibilities to the town, and the lady boss's face darkened instantly.

"Mr. Li, you are talking about evidence, why do you say we poisoned you!"

"Evidence, the poison was eaten into the stomach, even if we have the evidence, we can't get it out now. Hurry up and call the police, as long as the police come, won't everything be revealed!"

What the man said was well-founded, he pretended to know the truth, and kept making noises.The face of the proprietress is getting worse and worse, but she is a woman after all, and she really can't show the momentum to argue with him, a big man who is about 1.8 meters tall.

"I told you that because of the heavy rain outside, the road is impassable, and no one can get in now!"

As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, the young man immediately closed his mouth, but his eyes were still somewhat unwilling, so he snorted angrily, turned around and sat back.

"Miss Boss, you just said that the road outside is blocked, what is going on?"

Duan Qinghe also frowned, there is only one road to enter this town, and the town is located in a relatively remote location.Now that the road is blocked, they don't know when it will be repaired, which means that it may delay their trip.If it's two or three days, it's okay, if it's more than ten days, it will really delay a lot of things.
