Shangtong Police Station

The two sat upright in the side room all night, neither of them slept.Until the sky gradually turned white and the sun rose from the east.The rain that had been raining all night finally stopped, and the air in the mountains became more fresh after being washed by the rain. The sun shone through the gaps in the trees into the side room, and the morning light shone on the two of them.

Ji Wudu pushed open the door of the side room and walked into the yard.It just so happened that the door opened at this time, and it was the old couple who came back.

Li Yuebai also left the room when he heard the sound.

Yu Jiahui saw the two standing in the yard, staring straight at them, so he smiled and asked, "Hey, why are you getting up so early?"

Ji Wudu folded his arms, tilted his head, and looked at the door behind him, "Where did the old man come back so early?"

Yu Jiahui very naturally cleaned up the messy yard due to rain and wind, "Oh, I saw you all fell asleep last night, so I didn't tell you, we went to the eldest son's house."

"The gods come down, the gods come down, bless my son, bless my son." Hong Yixiu began to babble again, ran to the living room, grabbed a handful of rice, and sprinkled it everywhere in the living room.

"Oh? What's wrong with your eldest son? You want to rain so much?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the house is leaking, and you called me to go and have a look."

"A 50-year-old man with water leaks in his house needs to call his 70-year-old father to brave the heavy rain?"

"My son has never done any work since he was a child, and he doesn't know many things."

"Then why doesn't he live with you?"

"I moved out a long time ago, and I never lived together."

At this time, Hong Yixiu came out of the living room while rambling, "Gods turn into demons, gods turn into ghosts, bless my son, bless my son, let all the devils go to hell."

Ji Wudu looked at Hong Yixiu who had changed his face, exchanged glances with Li Yuebai, then turned to look at Yu Jiahui, "Did she come back last night?"

Yu Jiahui looked at Hong Yixiu who was running all over the yard, without any panic in his eyes, "No."

"No? Then what I saw at the window last night was a ghost?"

"What are you talking about? How could there be ghosts in my house?" Hong Yixiu stared at the one eye that was not blind, and sniffed Ji Wudu back and forth, holding two long stick bells in his hand, shaking them non-stop. .

"Officer, it's all right. Now that the road in the village is open, I think you can leave too." Yu Jiahui issued an order to evict the guests.

"Is your son home now?"

"No, he was out when we came back."

"Going out? Where did you go?"

"Such an adult, he must go out to work, otherwise can we count on our old couple to support him? What do you want him to do?"

"As usual, anyone related to the missing person needs to be investigated." Ji Wudu replied.

"He's been in the mountains all the time, what can he do, what can the girl's disappearance have to do with him."

"Then where does he work, can you please tell us his work address?" Seeing Yu Jiahui being asked by Ji Wudu, Li Yuebai became more and more impatient.

"He's the forest ranger on the hill behind us." After Yu Jiahui finished speaking, he turned around, stopped talking to them, and went to do housework on his own.

"Thank you for taking me in last night, let's go first."

The two looked at each other, then raised their feet and walked towards the door.

Hong Yixiu chased after them again, ringing the bell and circling around the two of them, muttering, "God is destined, God is destined." As he spoke, he ran into the yard again.

After the two went out of the gate, they looked towards the back mountain, and there was a small wooden house vaguely seen on the mountainside of the back mountain.

The mountain road after the rain was extremely muddy. The two of them walked towards the wooden house one deep and one shallow, and finally reached the door of the wooden house after bumps and bumps. There was no clean place below the knees.

Li Yuebai knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he knocked a few more times, Ji Wudu looked inside through the glass, but saw no one.

"No one, stop knocking."

"Will you go up the mountain?"

"Will the old man lie to us?"

"How to say?"

"Yesterday I clearly saw Hong Yixiu standing at the window. Why did they lie, don't you think it's too strange?"

Li Yuebai stomped the mud on his feet, "Let's go back first, we still have to find Yu Youcai first, and there is no progress here. After you go back, you can go to Yu Youcai's house to see if you can find any clues .”

"Come on, I'm sick of this place."

So the two walked down the mountain one after the other, and within two steps, Li Yuebai suddenly said "Ah", Ji Wudu turned around and saw Li Yuebai with one foot hanging, leaning on the whole body on a nearby tree trunk.

"what happened?"

"Looks like you sprained your ankle?"

Ji Wudu immediately turned around, squatted down, and reached out to touch Li Yuebai's slender ankle, "Is it here?"

"Hiss, lightly lightly."

"It should be sprained, come up."

Ji Wudu turned his back to Li Yuebai, seeing that Li Yuebai hadn't moved for a long time, "What are you doing? Come up."

"It's still far from the bottom of the mountain. It's too tiring to carry it down."

"Then what do you want me to hug you?"

Li Yuebai rolled her eyes unobtrusively, "No, just give me a hand."

"Just rely on one foot to jump on the ground, we can't walk down the mountain even in the dark, I don't want to spend another night here."

"Don't dawdle, come up quickly."

Li Yuebai couldn't hold back him, and slowly lay on his back, wrapping his arms around his neck.

This Li Yuebai was just as he looked, dry, with no meat all over his body, but he looked like a man in a fight, Ji Wudu walked with his head depressed, while weighing Li Yue in his heart white.

No matter how light it is, it can't withstand the harsh environment. The whole road is too muddy. Ji Wudu has already thought about it, and threw the pair of shoes on his feet as soon as he got in the car.The feet slipped several times, and the original color of the whole shoe can no longer be seen.

Because of the slippage, Li Yuebai's hands tightened, and he leaned on his shoulders, his head tilted to the side of Ji Wudu's face, and his breath sprayed behind Ji Wudu's ears, causing Ji Wudu to stumble.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing, you can hurry up, the road is too slippery."

"Put me down if you're tired."

Ji Wudu didn't answer, and walked forward cautiously with his head sullen. Li Yuebai's breath made him feel a little overwhelmed, which seemed a little subtle.

Finally at the foot of the mountain, Ji Wudu carefully stuffed him into the passenger seat.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's okay if you don't move, it doesn't hurt that much."

"Do you want to find a hospital here, or go directly back to Shangtong to find a hospital?"

"Just find a small clinic here."

"Hmm." Ji Wudu kicked off the shoes on his feet, went to the trunk to find a pair of clean shoes and socks, and also found a pair for Li Yuebai by the way.

After changing himself, he squatted down, intending to help Li Yuebai take off his shoes and socks.

Li Yuebai was taken aback by his sudden movement, "What, what are you doing?"

"Change to a clean pair, it's so dirty, can you be comfortable?"

"I, I'll do it myself." As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the socks in Ji Wudu's hand.Li Yuebai made great efforts to put on the uninjured foot, but the other foot was already swollen to the naked eye, so he squeezed his lips tightly to reach that foot.

Ji Wudu leaned against the side of the car with his hands in his pockets and watched Li Yuebai act out of control.

Li Yuebai really put in a lot of effort, his neck was covered with sweat, and he couldn't lift his feet.

Ji Wudu shook his head, took the socks in his hand, squatted down, and slowly put them on his feet.Li Yuebai stared blankly at the top of Ji Wudu's head, not daring to move.Even when Ji Wudu hurt him, he didn't make a sound.In fact, this kind of minor injury was really nothing to Li Yuebai. The injuries he suffered before were almost all fatal.But now I don't know if it's because of the people around me, but I have become a little hypocritical.

Ji Wudu's movements were very light, and it took him a long time to put on his shoes and socks.

"Okay. Let's go." Ji Wudu got up, and closed the passenger's door behind him.

The two found a clinic in the town.Ji Wudu helped Li Yuebai to apply the medicine.Generally, the clinics in such towns are full of elderly people, and the elderly like to gather together to share all kinds of strange things.

"Hey, hey, do you know? Last night, the grandson of the old Xu's family in Shuqiao Village disappeared."

"It rained so much last night, where can this child go?"

"Who knows this?"

"Hey? Do you think it will be the same as the child two years ago, being..."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's useless to curse other people's children. In case the children are playful, they will be scared by Lei and hide somewhere."

The two sat in the outpatient room, listening to the conversation outside.

"Shuqiao Village, Yu Jiahui's village?"

"Yes, their village is called Shuqiao Village."

The old doctor put his eyes on his nose, and was concentrating on applying the wound medicine to Li Yuebai.

"Doctor, I want to ask, what happened to the fact that there was a child two years ago that the aunts outside said?"

The old doctor raised his head, the glasses were no longer on his eyes, but on his nose, a pair of cloudy eyes were staring at Li Yuebai's beautiful face.

"Young man, it's better for you not to know about some things, for fear of scaring you by telling them."

"It's okay, you say."

"That child also disappeared on a rainy night. Later, when he was found on the mountain, his belly was hollowed out, his eyeballs were taken out, and he was left with an empty shell, with yellow symbols plastered all over his body. You It’s not scary to say that.”

"Have the police investigated?"

"I checked, but nothing was found. Later, the family simply gave up, saying that it was a crime. God will punish his family, and the child will be sacrificed to the gods. You say this is not ridiculous."

The two frowned and looked at each other. After they were bandaged, they sat in the car, and Ji Wudu held the steering wheel with both hands, "Quanjiang, does this mountain have a story? Huang Fu, do you think you will talk to Yu Jiahui?" Are the husband and wife related?"

"It's hard to say. If the yellow talisman is a sensitive thing in this case, they wouldn't still paste the yellow talisman at home. It's not clear to tell others that they are the murderer."

"The more I think about these two old couples, the more strange they become."

"Don't think about it yet. The most important thing for us now is to find Yu Youcai. We don't care about the disappearance of the child here. We don't have anything to do with the old couple. They also have nothing to do with Yu Youcai's matter. It didn't work, and it doesn't matter if we are wasting here. Go back first."

Ji Wudu started the car. Today, I don't know if it was poor Li Yuebai who injured his foot or what happened. He actually controlled the speed of the car at the average speed, and it took four hours to return to Shangtong. After returning, the two of them did not directly Instead of going to the police station, I went home and took a hot shower.

After Ji Wudu came out of the wash, he saw Li Yuebai still sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Aren't you going to wash it? I didn't have a chance to wash it last night."

"I'll go."

"Can you do it? If not, I can help you." Ji Wudu said with a blushing face and heartbeat.In fact, he didn't even care about the way people came out of the shower.

"No, no, I can do it myself."

"Then be careful, don't let that foot get wet. After washing, let's order something to eat. From last night until now, I've starved to death."

"En." Li Yuebai turned around and limped to the bedroom to get his clothes.
