When Le Zhengli woke up again, he was lying in the bedroom of Brother Wang's guest room. He said it was a bedroom, but it was actually a tile-roofed room with an extra bed. Yin Ranyi sat on the stool opposite the bed, alone. Resting his head on the wooden table with his hands on the side, he looked like he was taking a nap.

The moonlight outside the window was like washing, and it fell on the muddy floor in a white, Lezheng carp looked down at the moonlight for a moment, and suddenly lifted the quilt with anxiety and looked at himself from bottom to top. Happy, the arms and legs are all there, and there is no pain on the body. So, the strange python didn't eat him?

He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and pinched himself, so hard that he couldn't hold back a muffled groan, Yin Ranyi immediately opened his eyes and looked over, and saw that he was lifting the quilt with one hand and pinching his leg with the other. Somewhat inexplicably: "Huh?"

Lezheng Li didn't know what to say to him, and stretched out his hands to form a big circle in front of his chest, his expression a little excited: "It's so big! Snake! No, no... That size should be called a python!"

Yin Ranyi frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled by Lezheng Li's code-like words: "Snake? Python?"

Le Zhengli saw that his expression was blank and did not seem to be fake, and wondered: "Who brought me back? Didn't you see a big black python?"

"No." Yin Ranyi denied it, and drew a circle in the air with his right hand, "Such a big python, can you come back alive?"

"But I clearly saw a big python... By the way, where are Xia Ming and the others?"

"Sleeping, the mouse body that swept you away was found."

Lezheng Li was even more surprised: "The corpse? The big black python didn't eat it?" He thought that the strange python was hungry and wanted to eat the big white-haired mouse to satisfy its hunger!

Yin Ranyi looked at him with a serious expression that did not seem to be joking: "At least when we found you, we didn't see any big pythons...not even ordinary small snakes."

Yin Ranyi's tone was very solemn, Lezheng Li blinked his eyes, and his expression became serious: "I really saw a big black python, did the mouse lose a large piece of skin on its back? I saw that It was torn off by the big black python."

He stared at Yin Ranyi closely, as if he wanted to find a flaw in the slightest expression of the other party, but Yin Ranyi stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head: "I didn't see it, maybe you are too tired. After that, he turned around and sat back on the stool to start resting again.

Lezheng Li wanted to share with the other party the heroic demeanor and noble sentiments of the big black python - anyway, he didn't eat himself, so it can be seen that this strange python's ideological awareness is still very high, and it is worthy of encouragement; but Yin Ranyi closed his eyes. His eyes were obviously closed and he didn't want to talk anymore. It was late at night, and everyone was resting after being tired all day. Even though Le Zhengli had thousands of words to say, no one came to listen, so he had to lie back down in frustration. Thinking of something again, he suddenly turned over and sat up, saying: "Yin Ranyi, why are you sitting there? Why don't you come to sleep?"

Yin Ran didn't even move his eyelids, he seemed to be extremely tired and fell asleep.

Lezheng Li called him twice again in a low voice, but still didn't get a response, so he had to lie down and sleep again.

Early the next morning, Wei Yihong knocked on the door and told them to get up to see the mouse.

Lezheng Li had been dreaming last night, replaying the scene of the monster python fighting the white-haired mouse over and over again in his mind, and the scene where the opponent finally opened his bloody mouth towards him...

Every time he dreams here, he will wake up from the dream, and he really has no memory of what happened next, as if someone wiped that memory clean with an eraser, and he can't think of himself even if he racks his brains After fainting from fright, what did the strange python do? It had no choice but to fall back to sleep again. After tossing like this for most of the night, it didn't fall asleep until four or five o'clock in the morning. At this moment, it only slept for an hour. When he was sleepy, when Wei Yihong and the others pushed the door in, he pulled the quilt to cover his head, turned over and refused to talk to anyone.

Yin Ranyi stood up, looking in good spirits, he didn't look like he had been sitting on a wooden stool all night, when he saw Wei Yihong and the others, he nodded slightly to signal that he was about to go out.

The few people were used to his appearance and didn't care, but Yin Ranyi stopped after walking a few steps, turned around and said to them: "He just fell asleep." That means don't disturb him, let Le Zheng Get more sleep.

Xia Ming hurriedly agreed, and Yin Ranyi turned around and went out.

As soon as he stepped out, Xia Ming and the others surrounded the bed, and Wei Yihong carefully lifted a small corner of the quilt with two fingers of his right hand, revealing Le Zhengli's tired sleeping face.

Lezheng Li happened to be bored with the cover, so he was naturally happy that someone helped him lift the quilt. He unconsciously bent his mouth and buried his head in a deep sleep. Tang Zhongliu rubbed his chin and said, "It's kind of cute when you look at it this way."

"So Yin Ranyi likes cute...men?"

Wei Yihong muttered softly, then hesitantly wanted to poke Le Zhengli's face, and said, "It was brought back by Yin Ranyi yesterday..."

Xia Ming stood beside the bed, with a puzzled look on his face: "You guys think too much... If Yin Ranyi really likes it, can he bring him back like that?"

Yesterday they followed the mountain road all the way to chase Le Zhengli, but on the way they met Yin Ranyi who was holding a bunch of paper figurines in his hands. When the latter heard that Le Zhengli was gone, he immediately threw the paper figurines to them and asked them to Looking for a few strong villagers to come up, I ran away without a trace again.

Xia Ming and the others hurried down the mountain to find someone, and as soon as they brought the villagers to the foot of the mountain, they saw Yin Ranyi coming down the mountain with one hand carrying the Lezheng carp, and the other hand dragging the big mouse—it was already It can't be seen that it is a white-haired mouse, not to mention the head and most of the tail. Yin Ranyi seems to have been dragging him down like this. He was dripping blood and looked very embarrassed.

On the other hand, Yin Ranyi, apart from some wrinkles in his clothes, didn't even change his face, but Le Zhengli's clothes, which he carried on his shoulders with one hand, were covered with dust and fallen leaves, making him look miserable.

The villagers were a little surprised when they saw the animal in Yin Ranyi's hands. Yin Ranyi said that it was a mountain beast. It was like this when he went there, and he presumably was eaten by a mountain eagle.

Xia Ming and the others didn't speak, but the other villagers believed it. They found a pole and carried the beast's body back, and put it under the old tree at the entrance of the village according to Yin Ranyi's words.

During the period, someone wanted to take over the person Yin Ranyi was carrying on his shoulders, but the latter sideways avoided, shaking his head to signal that there was no need to trouble, and he just carried Lezheng carp all the way back to the village. Xia Ming and the others walked beside him, watching Seeing Lezheng carp with his eyes closed being carried like a sack, he expressed deep sympathy in his heart.

After returning to Brother Wang's house, Yin Ranyi threw Lezheng Li on the bed and ignored him. He walked to the side and sat down to rest, as if he was a little tired. Xia Ming took out the bunch of paper figurines from his backpack and asked Yin Ranyi What is this thing, Yin Ranyi thought for a moment, and then said: "I found it in the rat's nest." Other than that, he didn't say anything else.

Xia Ming asked again if the rat had a litter. It was really a danger to people's livelihood. Yin Ranyi shook his head and said no. Finally, as if afraid that Xia Ming would ask again, he said in a deep voice, "It is absolutely forbidden to leave the corpse of a wild animal at the entrance of the village." Move recklessly, there are birthday characters on the paper figurine, now go find a respected old man in the village and burn it with your own hands, throw the ashes into the valley, and don't leave half of it behind."

Several people heard the words and flattened the paper figurines carefully, and they saw that the throats of dozens of paper figurines had been written with Chinese characters of birth and date with a brush.

Seeing that Yin Ranyi closed his eyes to make it clear that he didn't want to talk anymore, Xia Ming couldn't do anything about him, and took the paper doll to find Brother Wang. What kind of monster is the corpse? How do they know the details?Xia Ming paused, then said solemnly that they chased up the mountain to meet that young man. The other party was a low-level magician who was rehearsing new magic tricks on this mountain. Seeing people, he ran away in desperation. The beast was simply a beast in the mountains. Yin Ranyi was afraid that it would pollute the environment by throwing it bloody in the mountains, so he dragged it down and threw it at the entrance of the village to dry it in the sun and disinfect it.

Wei Yihong and Tang Zhongliu wanted to laugh when they heard Xia Ming's nonsense, and they forced their faces to pretend to be serious, helping each other from time to time, and at the end they put on a solemn expression and said, "Brother Wang, we are all central government officials. The party and the state require us to tell the truth to the people, to tell the truth, and we will never lie to you!"

When Brother Wang heard that the name of the country was raised, he hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? You are sent by the country. How can you lie to us mountain people? Since you are not a monster, that's fine. Take you to find Uncle Wang." The Uncle Wang he was talking about was an old man in this village, with good conduct and worthy of the word "high moral and respected".

Uncle Wang took the paper figurine and did not ask any further questions. He burned it to ashes as he said, and went to the back mountain with a basin to scatter the paper ashes into the valley. And the old rules of working day and night, they went to rest.
