As soon as he woke up in the morning, Jiang Xiaobai found himself lying in Pei Cong'an's arms, with his head resting on Pei Cong'an's arm.Jiang Xiaobai froze.After taking a careful look to make sure that Pei Cong'an hadn't woken up, Jiang Xiaobai got up guiltily and slipped into the bathroom to wash up.
It's too embarrassing, I hope Brother Pei didn't find out.
As soon as the person on his arm left, Pei Cong'an opened his eyes.He sat up and moved his numb arms, thinking about the smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but let it out.
When Jiang Xiaobai came out of the bathroom, he saw him stretching his arms. Normally, he must be concerned about what happened to Pei Cong'an.Because of guilty conscience, Jiang Xiaobai said hello casually and went downstairs with his head buried.
Breakfast was porridge, and Jiang Xiaobai had already eaten bread. He declined Wang Wu's invitation, and turned to inquire about news.
The couple still didn't come out upstairs, and he wasn't afraid that they might hear something they shouldn't have heard.
"Uncle Wang, we still want to find a friend this time. Her name is Zhu Qingyu. She is a girl. I came here with my teacher for a folklore course some time ago. Have you noticed her?"
"Zhu Qingyu?" Wang Wu rolled a cigarette, swallowed the cloud for a while, and then said, "I have seen it, but hasn't she already left?"
"Gone?" Jiang Xiaobai was surprised.
Wang Wu nodded: "That's right, I sent it out in person. Didn't they go back?"
"That's not true, his brother is dying of anxiety." Jiang Xiaobai murmured.
In the barrage, Zhu Qingyu's brother is really angry:
【He's lying, I found someone to check it out, my sister never came home, this old liar! 】
【Won't believe it in vain, brother, calm down】
Zhu Qingyu couldn't get any news, so Jiang Xiaobai brought the topic to last night's incident: "Uncle Wang, did you hear any strange noises last night?"
"Strange sound?" Wang Wu paused before saying, "No, where did the strange sound come from?"
"Really?" Jiang Xiaobai asked strangely, "I heard a cough coming from downstairs last night."
Mrs. Wang said: "Maybe someone is feeling unwell in the middle of the night."
Jiang Xiaobai: "There is still the sound of footsteps, the footsteps are very heavy, as if the legs and feet are not good."
Mrs. Wang continued to explain: "That's because I wake up at night, which may disturb you."
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes: "But yesterday's cough was the voice of an old lady."
The room fell into silence, and after a while, Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into tears.He looked at the open space of the room, held his tears and said, "Old lady, did you come back? You said that you were reluctant to leave our masters, but you didn't give me dreams. Recently, I feel that my body is getting worse. It's getting more and more useless, and I don't know how long I can stay with the children, do you know it too, so you came back to find me? You came to pick me up, didn't you?"
"Dad!" Wang Wu couldn't help interrupting him, and said with a sad face, "What are you talking about? Didn't you promise me to stay with us and our son yesterday? How did you become like this again? Mom doesn't want to see it either. You look like this."
The two of them hugged each other and cried, crying and crying, and even started to cry to each other, as if they had completely forgotten about Jiang Xiaobai.
[Where are the actors?]
[This acting skill is willing to bow down]
[The old man is old but his brain is not old, it is really slippery to change the subject]
They looked like Jiang Xiaobai didn't want to ask, he was sure that they would not stop crying for a while, Jiang Xiaobai calmed down and said a few words of comfort: "Don't be sad, old man, we ordinary people can't see the dead Well, maybe the old lady is watching you in the room now."
Old Mrs. Wang shook her hand, pretending to wipe away her tears to hide her momentary unnaturalness: "Yes, Xiao Jiang, you are right."
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Wang and Wang Wu are two riddlers. It is more difficult to pry the truth out of their mouths. Jiang Xiaobai didn't waste time with him, instead he dragged Pei Cong'an to the dry valley field .
There are still many people in the valley drying field.
He Yuan and Shen Ying had been waiting for a long time in the morning, and when they saw them, they waved quickly.
"Boss, you guys are here, why is it so long today?" He Yuan was puzzled.
"Ask for some news." Jiang Xiaobai asked about what happened last night and the old man's answer, and then asked them, "Have you encountered anything?"
"Don't tell me, there are really some." He Yuan said, "In the middle of the night last night, there was a soft cry of a baby in the yard outside. I thought it was a wild cat at first, but later I found out that it was not, and until now I haven't seen cats or dogs in Wangjiacun yet, so I guess I heard right."
"Baby boy or girl?" Jiang Xiaobai asked subconsciously.
He Yuan shook his head: "I can't tell the difference."
Shen Ying said with a stinky face, "Maybe it's a baby girl. I think the family has problems with the girl and the five sons."
Her expression is still because of Wang Rongsheng's family.Yesterday, the family made her so angry that they dragged He Yuan out early in the morning.
He Yuan persuaded her: "You still have to listen clearly, don't let our emotions affect the process of solving the problem."
Shen Ying turned her face away, but did not refute.He Yuan is right, their actions cannot be influenced by their personal emotions.The rest of their team members are still alive and dead.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Then why don't you record it first, and then let Brother Pei and I listen to it."
He Yuan trembled when he heard the cry of the baby about to be patted, but still nodded.No way, Jiang Xiaobai and Pei Cong'an are indeed more reliable than them.
Jiang Xiaobai observed the drying field.Many people should have the same idea, they all want to come out early to find clues.The grain drying field was very lively, and even the couple who were with them came out to find news.
The pair of sisters we talked about yesterday are also inside.Their goals are very clear. The people they are looking for are girls and children. It may be because they have no offensive power and look harmless. Many people will answer them, but some people also glance at them. , walked away like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
"What are you looking at?" Pei Cong'an asked.
Jiang Xiaobai replied subconsciously: "The pair of sisters."
Pei Cong'an was silent for a long time and did not continue to chat with him.Jiang Xiaobai looked back strangely, and saw him looking at him, his usually gentle eyes looked a little gloomy.
It seems that he is not very happy.
Thinking of his answer just now, Jiang Xiaobai's heart moved, and he explained: "There is no news about Wang Deshou's family, so I want to exchange some information with them."
After thinking about it, he added: "Lin Chu and that uncle don't seem easy to fool."
After the two sentences were finished, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt the temperature around him rise a bit.
It shouldn't be his illusion, right?
With an idea in mind, Jiang Xiaobai greeted them and walked towards the sisters who were still inquiring about news.
"Sorry, can I bother you?"
The two sisters stared at him suspiciously: "What's the matter? If there is nothing urgent, we have to go to work."
"I want to exchange some news with you." Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile, "For news about Wang Deshou's family, my exchange condition is some information about you."
The two looked at each other, and whispered to Jiang Xiaobai for a while before asking, "What do you want to know?"
"Did anything strange happen at Wang Deshou's house last night? For example, some strange sounds." Jiang Xiaobai didn't deliberately hide what happened to them. If they wanted to, the two could find out about it from other places.
Seeing his candid attitude, the two of them felt at ease, and after careful consideration, they said, "You didn't say that, but he has two daughters in his family."
"Is there anything strange about that?"
"Of course there is a problem." The elder sister leaned in front of him and whispered, "They have an older sister and a younger sister. The elder sister looks very good, she is well-educated, she should be able to read and write, and she can be said to be the best in the family. But his parents are very indifferent to her, and they don't seem to like her. On the contrary, my younger sister, like her parents, is poorly dressed, and she looks shy and doesn't like to talk, but her parents like her very much. That kind of liking is not pretended. It seems that the first sister is a guest living in her house, and the second sister is my own daughter."
While talking, my sister touched the clothes and said with disgust: "Wang Deshou's house is also very good, but this house is too damp. When I touch the clothes in the morning, I feel damp."
"You still need to pay attention, maybe there is something wrong with it." Jiang Xiaobai said cautiously.
"That's for sure." After my sister finished speaking, she added, "By the way, that girl must be quite ambitious, and she has been asking us about what's going on outside today, but she was scolded by her parents. After a meal, he said that he was ambitious, and he didn't care about this family anymore."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded again and again, and in exchange, he repeated to them what Wang Rongsheng's daughter-in-law said last night.
The two sisters looked ugly when they heard this.In this ghostly place where there are problems at first glance, it is said that there may be a catastrophe, and no normal person can have a good face.
The younger sister couldn't help scolding: "Smelly woman with a bad mouth."
But the two of them didn't spread the flames of war to Jiang Xiaobai, so Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his nose as if he didn't hear it.
After exchanging information, the two sides separated from the two ends, each looking for new clues.
"How about Xiao Jiang, do you have any important clues?" He Yuan asked everyone's doubts when he saw him come back.
Jiang Xiaobai finished all the information exchanged, and then added: "Wang Deshou's house may have something to do with water, they are all in one place, and when we first arrived, our clothes were dry, but theirs were wet. We There are problems in the two houses I live in, so it can’t be that there is nothing in Wang Deshou’s house. It is very likely that this kind of change is more subtle and not easy to detect. I guess it is water.”
He Yuan was confused, and Shen Ying was similar.But neither of them questioned Jiang Xiaobai's guess.
Since he said that, there must be some truth to it.
Previous experience told them so.
The four of them summarized and sorted out the news, and then divided into two groups to investigate the situation in this small village.After He Yuan and the others left, Jiang Xiaobai was not in a hurry to ask someone for news.
There is a small shop next to the dry grain farm. When outsiders come in, people from the village will inevitably pass by the dry grain farm when they go out, so the owner of the small shop next to the dry grain farm will naturally see the most news.
And this is the only canteen in the village.
"Boss, you have two expensive cigarettes here, as well as wine." Jiang Xiaobai knocked on the table in the canteen.
He bought a lot of things, and the owner of the canteen smiled: "Okay, it will be ready in a while."
Jiang Xiaobai took the opportunity to inquire about the news with him: "Boss, I want to ask you something, did we have a group of students who came here before, they were brought by the teacher, and there was a girl among them."
"Yes, there are." The boss put the things in the bag, and then said, "But I left by car two days ago, what's wrong?"
He picked up the shopping bag and presented it to Jiang Xiaobai.The red plastic bag looked a bit inferior, Jiang Xiaobai took out the money from his pocket, but Pei Cong'an had already handed it over.
"Mobile funds." Pei Cong'an explained.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized, but he did buy things to get more information.
The news about Zhu Qingyu and his party is similar to what Wang Wu said, but I don't know how true or false.
Jiang Xiaobai continued to ask: "What do you know about the three houses we live in?"
The boss snorted, and then said: "That's not a good thing."
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
The boss smiled and said nothing, and didn't answer directly after a while, but pointed to the girl sitting under the big tree and said, "Did you see that girl?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
"How good-looking. If I had a son, I would have gone to someone to talk about marriage. Unfortunately, it's too late now, and I don't have a son."
"It's late? Why is it late? That girl looks quite young."
The boss said vaguely: "Anyway, it's definitely not going to work now, and we don't deserve it."
This person is half-talking, and this is where people are anxious.But he can't be tied up and let him spit out all the news.And judging from what he said to Zhu Qingyu, it's not clear whether people are good or bad.
Jiang Xiaobai had nothing to ask. He was about to leave to find news elsewhere when he heard Pei Cong'an ask, "Firecrackers are often set off in the village? The smell of gunpowder is very strong."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Xiaobai sniffed lightly.Sure enough, there was a smell of gunpowder, thanks to Pei Cong'an's nose, he could smell it.
"That's for sure. There are so many weddings and funerals in a month. I can't think about it." The boss shook his head, and he was a little happy, "But because of this, I also sold a lot of the goods I bought."
He was talking about paper money and wreaths.Jiang Xiaobai also noticed it before, but he didn't think much about it, after all, it's just such a small shop.It's only natural for him to be miscellaneous, but he didn't want to be asked by Pei Cong'an for such a piece of news.
After leaving the small shop with their things, Jiang Xiaobai and the others went to the village to find relevant information.In the afternoon, the four get together.
"The people in this village are quite quiet, and we don't usually see them coming out, and they are mostly evasive when they see us, but they still get some news from us." Shen Ying was so tired that she had her hips on her hips, "I heard that there are three families in this village who are going to do business this month. Congratulations, there are only so many people in their village, and only so many people are married, and they are all girls aged sixteen or seventeen." Shen Ying frowned when she said this.
She started a family before she was an adult, and there were not one or two, so she couldn't adapt to it.
He Yuan added what she hadn't finished: "Didn't Xiaojiang just say that Wang Deshou and his wife prefer the youngest daughter? But I just found out that the youngest daughter Wang Qiuyu from one of the three families who held weddings. My sister Wang Qiuyue has no information at all. No, obviously my sister is not yet an adult. Do you think this couple has such an attitude because of the gift money from their youngest daughter?"
"It stands to reason that since they can dress the eldest daughter well, eat well, and let her go to school, it doesn't look like they don't like the eldest daughter." He Yuan nodded after finishing speaking, very suspicious of his guess. recognized.
"It's not impossible." Jiang Xiaobai stared at the girl under the big tree thoughtfully.They had seen the girl since yesterday, and they saw her again today.
The girl's appearance yesterday and today is almost like a replica.Whether it's the smile on the corner of the mouth or the bright eyes.Except that the book in his hand seems to have changed into another one.
Jiang Xiaobai looked strangely at the undisguised voice of conversation.A few aunts with shoe soles sitting next to each other didn't know what to say, watching them chatting and shaking their heads.
The most important thing is that the discussion is still loud, I'm afraid they are not deaf.
The aunt also noticed their gazes, and said unhappily, "You guys, what are you looking at?"
Shen Ying choked back: "Don't look at us yet, don't you have eyes to see things, don't you? If not, I don't mind digging for you."
She got angry and spoke very rudely.
"My God, this girl's words are really fierce." The aunt said "tsk tsk" twice, pointing to the girl under the tree, "Aren't you ashamed to stare there, afraid of being told?"
"What age is this, what's wrong with looking at people, can't they look good?" Shen Ying said bluntly.
The aunt was angry: "Could it be possible that you still want to do something, and don't look at your own status, are you worthy?"
Shen Ying: "Why don't you deserve it? Maybe it's a fairy in the sky. If you look at it, your eyes will be gouged out."
Unexpectedly, the aunt really responded: "That may not be true."
Jiang Xiaobai had been quietly listening to their conversation before, so he couldn't help but laugh now.
The aunt spoke very seriously, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was his real thoughts or a joke.
Just thinking about them, there was a dissatisfied driving voice in front of them: "What are you guys doing around my daughter!"
A middle-aged man ran out to block the girls, holding a shovel exaggeratedly in his hand, and swung at them twice.Pei Cong'an pulled Jiang Xiaobai back two steps, and then stood in front of him to prevent the man in front of him from doing anything dangerous.
He Yuan quickly explained: "We really didn't want to do anything, we just wanted to inquire about the news."
The man didn't believe it: "There are so many people, why did you ask my daughter?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "We are students who came here to conduct a survey of local folklore. Seeing your daughter reading a book, I wonder if she has a deeper understanding of the local area. And in broad daylight, there are so many people staring at , what do we dare to do?"
His words are not without reason.The man's expression relaxed a little, but he still said: "Okay, but you don't want to ask her any more, you don't need any profound insights, you leave quickly, and don't let me see you approaching my daughter next time."
The girl didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, even when they were arguing, there was a smile on her face.
Inevitably, there would be a bigger quarrel, and the few people could only agree to it, and they were finally let go after promising not to commit another crime next time.After walking away, He Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "My God, I was really scared to death just now. I always feel that if we go one step further, that man will really come and fight us."
"Perhaps their attitude is also related to the secrets of this village. If we have not been able to find relevant information, it is estimated that there will be no progress in the problem." After a busy day today, there was no breakthrough. I'm so hungry.Jiang Xiaobai asked He Yuan and the others to pay attention to the crying tonight, and the four of them separated and went back to their resting places.
The house next door didn't know what they were doing, Jiang Xiaobai and the others heard the tragic cry of pigs as soon as they went back, after a while, Wang Wu came in with two bloody hands, and saw them standing in the yard looking at them curiously. Looking at the next door, he smiled and said, "I'm back."
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes fell on his fingers, and he asked curiously, "Uncle Wang, what are you doing next door?"
"Kill the pig. You don't have much appetite this day, so I wondered if our food is not suitable. It just so happens that the pig has grown up, so I will kill one with the neighbor to satisfy your hunger." Wang Wu embarrassed Rubbing his head, "I don't have any good things at home, so that's all I can entertain you."
Jiang Xiaobai said embarrassingly: "You are too polite, we just take too many cars, so we don't have much appetite, and there is no need to kill pigs for us."
Coming from them, Wang Wu's attitude can be said to be impeccable.Especially when compared with the suspicion of Jiang Xiaobai and the others, that warm and hospitable attitude seemed like they were wronging a good person.
"Whatever you want, it's almost time anyway." Wang Wu waved his hand indifferently, "I kill pigs, I don't kill the young ones, and I don't kill the old ones. The young ones can still be used, and the old ones can be used again. It’s too firewood. The ones that haven’t grown are just right, and they taste good enough.”
When he said this, blood was still dripping from his hands, and the black blood spread from between his fingers, drop by drop, forming a small puddle on the ground.
Wang Wu's gaze was still fixed on them, as if he was talking about human flesh instead of pork.
Jiang Xiaobai imagined the scene of human flesh being cooked and served on the dinner table, and his heart became even more disgusting.He covered his mouth and couldn't help retching.The change was too fast, Pei Cong'an patted him on the back, and asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xiaobai's face was pale, and he shook his head and said, "It seems a little unacceptable, Uncle Wang, you don't have to help us cook dinner tonight, I can just eat some bread mats."
Wang Wu sighed regretfully.But Jiang Xiaobai didn't have an appetite and he couldn't force him, so he could only care about it: "That's fine, do you need to find a doctor for you?"
"No need, I'll just go back and lie down." Jiang Xiaobai covered his mouth and said, and quickly dragged Pei Cong'an up to the second floor.
It took him a while to get the picture out of his head.
Wang Wu watched them go upstairs with a smile, and the smile on his face darkened when their backs disappeared.He raised his right hand and glanced at the blood on it.Putting his finger to his mouth, Wang Wu stretched out his tongue and rolled it, the smell of blood came to his mouth, he spat it on the ground in disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's still a little old."
Under the light of dusk, the two fangs in Wang Wu's mouth were faintly visible.
It's too embarrassing, I hope Brother Pei didn't find out.
As soon as the person on his arm left, Pei Cong'an opened his eyes.He sat up and moved his numb arms, thinking about the smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but let it out.
When Jiang Xiaobai came out of the bathroom, he saw him stretching his arms. Normally, he must be concerned about what happened to Pei Cong'an.Because of guilty conscience, Jiang Xiaobai said hello casually and went downstairs with his head buried.
Breakfast was porridge, and Jiang Xiaobai had already eaten bread. He declined Wang Wu's invitation, and turned to inquire about news.

"Gone?" Jiang Xiaobai was surprised.
Wang Wu nodded: "That's right, I sent it out in person. Didn't they go back?"
"That's not true, his brother is dying of anxiety." Jiang Xiaobai murmured.

The two of them hugged each other and cried, crying and crying, and even started to cry to each other, as if they had completely forgotten about Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai finished all the information exchanged, and then added: "Wang Deshou's house may have something to do with water, they are all in one place, and when we first arrived, our clothes were dry, but theirs were wet. We There are problems in the two houses I live in, so it can’t be that there is nothing in Wang Deshou’s house. It is very likely that this kind of change is more subtle and not easy to detect. I guess it is water.”
He Yuan was confused, and Shen Ying was similar.But neither of them questioned Jiang Xiaobai's guess.
Since he said that, there must be some truth to it.
Previous experience told them so.
The four of them summarized and sorted out the news, and then divided into two groups to investigate the situation in this small village.After He Yuan and the others left, Jiang Xiaobai was not in a hurry to ask someone for news.
There is a small shop next to the dry grain farm. When outsiders come in, people from the village will inevitably pass by the dry grain farm when they go out, so the owner of the small shop next to the dry grain farm will naturally see the most news.
And this is the only canteen in the village.
"Boss, you have two expensive cigarettes here, as well as wine." Jiang Xiaobai knocked on the table in the canteen.
He bought a lot of things, and the owner of the canteen smiled: "Okay, it will be ready in a while."
Jiang Xiaobai took the opportunity to inquire about the news with him: "Boss, I want to ask you something, did we have a group of students who came here before, they were brought by the teacher, and there was a girl among them."
"Yes, there are." The boss put the things in the bag, and then said, "But I left by car two days ago, what's wrong?"
He picked up the shopping bag and presented it to Jiang Xiaobai.The red plastic bag looked a bit inferior, Jiang Xiaobai took out the money from his pocket, but Pei Cong'an had already handed it over.
"Mobile funds." Pei Cong'an explained.
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized, but he did buy things to get more information.
The news about Zhu Qingyu and his party is similar to what Wang Wu said, but I don't know how true or false.
Jiang Xiaobai continued to ask: "What do you know about the three houses we live in?"
The boss snorted, and then said: "That's not a good thing."
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
The boss smiled and said nothing, and didn't answer directly after a while, but pointed to the girl sitting under the big tree and said, "Did you see that girl?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
"How good-looking. If I had a son, I would have gone to someone to talk about marriage. Unfortunately, it's too late now, and I don't have a son."
"It's late? Why is it late? That girl looks quite young."
The boss said vaguely: "Anyway, it's definitely not going to work now, and we don't deserve it."
This person is half-talking, and this is where people are anxious.But he can't be tied up and let him spit out all the news.And judging from what he said to Zhu Qingyu, it's not clear whether people are good or bad.
Jiang Xiaobai had nothing to ask. He was about to leave to find news elsewhere when he heard Pei Cong'an ask, "Firecrackers are often set off in the village? The smell of gunpowder is very strong."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Xiaobai sniffed lightly.Sure enough, there was a smell of gunpowder, thanks to Pei Cong'an's nose, he could smell it.
"That's for sure. There are so many weddings and funerals in a month. I can't think about it." The boss shook his head, and he was a little happy, "But because of this, I also sold a lot of the goods I bought."
He was talking about paper money and wreaths.Jiang Xiaobai also noticed it before, but he didn't think much about it, after all, it's just such a small shop.It's only natural for him to be miscellaneous, but he didn't want to be asked by Pei Cong'an for such a piece of news.
After leaving the small shop with their things, Jiang Xiaobai and the others went to the village to find relevant information.In the afternoon, the four get together.
"The people in this village are quite quiet, and we don't usually see them coming out, and they are mostly evasive when they see us, but they still get some news from us." Shen Ying was so tired that she had her hips on her hips, "I heard that there are three families in this village who are going to do business this month. Congratulations, there are only so many people in their village, and only so many people are married, and they are all girls aged sixteen or seventeen." Shen Ying frowned when she said this.
She started a family before she was an adult, and there were not one or two, so she couldn't adapt to it.
He Yuan added what she hadn't finished: "Didn't Xiaojiang just say that Wang Deshou and his wife prefer the youngest daughter? But I just found out that the youngest daughter Wang Qiuyu from one of the three families who held weddings. My sister Wang Qiuyue has no information at all. No, obviously my sister is not yet an adult. Do you think this couple has such an attitude because of the gift money from their youngest daughter?"
"It stands to reason that since they can dress the eldest daughter well, eat well, and let her go to school, it doesn't look like they don't like the eldest daughter." He Yuan nodded after finishing speaking, very suspicious of his guess. recognized.
"It's not impossible." Jiang Xiaobai stared at the girl under the big tree thoughtfully.They had seen the girl since yesterday, and they saw her again today.
The girl's appearance yesterday and today is almost like a replica.Whether it's the smile on the corner of the mouth or the bright eyes.Except that the book in his hand seems to have changed into another one.
Jiang Xiaobai looked strangely at the undisguised voice of conversation.A few aunts with shoe soles sitting next to each other didn't know what to say, watching them chatting and shaking their heads.
The most important thing is that the discussion is still loud, I'm afraid they are not deaf.
The aunt also noticed their gazes, and said unhappily, "You guys, what are you looking at?"
Shen Ying choked back: "Don't look at us yet, don't you have eyes to see things, don't you? If not, I don't mind digging for you."
She got angry and spoke very rudely.
"My God, this girl's words are really fierce." The aunt said "tsk tsk" twice, pointing to the girl under the tree, "Aren't you ashamed to stare there, afraid of being told?"
"What age is this, what's wrong with looking at people, can't they look good?" Shen Ying said bluntly.
The aunt was angry: "Could it be possible that you still want to do something, and don't look at your own status, are you worthy?"
Shen Ying: "Why don't you deserve it? Maybe it's a fairy in the sky. If you look at it, your eyes will be gouged out."
Unexpectedly, the aunt really responded: "That may not be true."
Jiang Xiaobai had been quietly listening to their conversation before, so he couldn't help but laugh now.
The aunt spoke very seriously, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was his real thoughts or a joke.
Just thinking about them, there was a dissatisfied driving voice in front of them: "What are you guys doing around my daughter!"
A middle-aged man ran out to block the girls, holding a shovel exaggeratedly in his hand, and swung at them twice.Pei Cong'an pulled Jiang Xiaobai back two steps, and then stood in front of him to prevent the man in front of him from doing anything dangerous.
He Yuan quickly explained: "We really didn't want to do anything, we just wanted to inquire about the news."
The man didn't believe it: "There are so many people, why did you ask my daughter?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "We are students who came here to conduct a survey of local folklore. Seeing your daughter reading a book, I wonder if she has a deeper understanding of the local area. And in broad daylight, there are so many people staring at , what do we dare to do?"
His words are not without reason.The man's expression relaxed a little, but he still said: "Okay, but you don't want to ask her any more, you don't need any profound insights, you leave quickly, and don't let me see you approaching my daughter next time."
The girl didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, even when they were arguing, there was a smile on her face.
Inevitably, there would be a bigger quarrel, and the few people could only agree to it, and they were finally let go after promising not to commit another crime next time.After walking away, He Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "My God, I was really scared to death just now. I always feel that if we go one step further, that man will really come and fight us."
"Perhaps their attitude is also related to the secrets of this village. If we have not been able to find relevant information, it is estimated that there will be no progress in the problem." After a busy day today, there was no breakthrough. I'm so hungry.Jiang Xiaobai asked He Yuan and the others to pay attention to the crying tonight, and the four of them separated and went back to their resting places.
The house next door didn't know what they were doing, Jiang Xiaobai and the others heard the tragic cry of pigs as soon as they went back, after a while, Wang Wu came in with two bloody hands, and saw them standing in the yard looking at them curiously. Looking at the next door, he smiled and said, "I'm back."
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes fell on his fingers, and he asked curiously, "Uncle Wang, what are you doing next door?"
"Kill the pig. You don't have much appetite this day, so I wondered if our food is not suitable. It just so happens that the pig has grown up, so I will kill one with the neighbor to satisfy your hunger." Wang Wu embarrassed Rubbing his head, "I don't have any good things at home, so that's all I can entertain you."
Jiang Xiaobai said embarrassingly: "You are too polite, we just take too many cars, so we don't have much appetite, and there is no need to kill pigs for us."
Coming from them, Wang Wu's attitude can be said to be impeccable.Especially when compared with the suspicion of Jiang Xiaobai and the others, that warm and hospitable attitude seemed like they were wronging a good person.
"Whatever you want, it's almost time anyway." Wang Wu waved his hand indifferently, "I kill pigs, I don't kill the young ones, and I don't kill the old ones. The young ones can still be used, and the old ones can be used again. It’s too firewood. The ones that haven’t grown are just right, and they taste good enough.”
When he said this, blood was still dripping from his hands, and the black blood spread from between his fingers, drop by drop, forming a small puddle on the ground.
Wang Wu's gaze was still fixed on them, as if he was talking about human flesh instead of pork.
Jiang Xiaobai imagined the scene of human flesh being cooked and served on the dinner table, and his heart became even more disgusting.He covered his mouth and couldn't help retching.The change was too fast, Pei Cong'an patted him on the back, and asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xiaobai's face was pale, and he shook his head and said, "It seems a little unacceptable, Uncle Wang, you don't have to help us cook dinner tonight, I can just eat some bread mats."
Wang Wu sighed regretfully.But Jiang Xiaobai didn't have an appetite and he couldn't force him, so he could only care about it: "That's fine, do you need to find a doctor for you?"
"No need, I'll just go back and lie down." Jiang Xiaobai covered his mouth and said, and quickly dragged Pei Cong'an up to the second floor.
It took him a while to get the picture out of his head.
Wang Wu watched them go upstairs with a smile, and the smile on his face darkened when their backs disappeared.He raised his right hand and glanced at the blood on it.Putting his finger to his mouth, Wang Wu stretched out his tongue and rolled it, the smell of blood came to his mouth, he spat it on the ground in disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's still a little old."
Under the light of dusk, the two fangs in Wang Wu's mouth were faintly visible.
