Short story department

The two no-nonsense guys returned to the house, and the third aunt who had been helping to take care of the old house got up early and waited in the main hall.Because they came back in a hurry, the two of them didn't talk to the third aunt very much. Now when they entered the room, the third aunt hurriedly went up to Yao Jiuchen and held Yao Jiuchen's hand: "My little Jiuye, why don't you wear clothes when you go out?" A cotton shirt, what if it freezes?"

Yao Jiuchen was still very polite to the third aunt, and after finishing his parents' short talk, he went straight to his room to get dressed.Leaving Liang Qiunian staring at the third aunt.After all, the third aunt was more enthusiastic, and she pulled Liang Qiunian and kept boasting: "Look, how handsome this looks. He is much more handsome than our little Jiu Ye. The eyes are a circle bigger than Jiu Ye It's surplus."

Liang Qiunian held the third aunt's hand tightly if he met a bosom friend, and said that the third aunt was his own aunt, and there was no one closer.The third aunt was moved, and after a few words, the third aunt had another eldest nephew whom she couldn't kiss anymore.It happened that Yao Jiuchen came out after getting dressed, seeing the two people who wanted to see each other so much, he sneered a few times, took Liang Qiunian's collar and went out, and told the third aunt by the way: "I'll be back tomorrow morning."

"Yao Jiuchen, let me tell you. If you carry me like a chicken again, I will turn against you!" On the night road, Liang Qiunian said angrily.

For this unfair treatment, Yao Jiuchen seemed to like it very much, and instead of letting go, he held on even tighter.Liang Qiu Niantong blushed, bluffing and threatening: "I raped you!"

"Five short stature."

Yao Jiuchen was taller than Liang Qiunian, this was Liang Qiunian's long-standing resentment.

After the two of them had a fuss, they got down to business.In fact, Liang Qiunian had been wondering, he knew that Yao Jiuchen's family was in a big city, so why was his hometown so remote.Yao Jiuchen glanced at Liang Qiunian who was blinking at him with a curious face, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, approached Liang Qiunian's ear with a smile, and whispered warmly: "You are blushing."

Liang Qiunian exploded in a whisper!Jumping to the side like a rabbit, covering half of his red ears, he pointed angrily: "Yao, if you have the ability, don't tease me, you seduce me!"

That master Jiu, who had achieved his goal, still walked forward with his hands in his sleeves in a carefree manner.Liang Qiunian felt unwilling, so he chased after him a few steps to discuss with him, can he tease him again?

The place Yao Jiuchen was going to was the small building in the open space, Liang Qiunian didn't ask him why he was going there, he seemed to understand a little bit.Sometimes Yao Jiuchen's ideas are very weird, and often a matter in his hands will become confusing. Many people ignore his more exciting side because of his face, but Liang Qiunian knows that Yao Jiuchen The most attractive thing is in the stuffing.Just like just now, they interrupted and turned a corner, but they still didn't say anything about their Yao family.

"Yao Jiuchen, do you really believe that you are sleepwalking?" Suddenly, Liang Qiunian remembered this matter.

Even on the village road late at night, Yao Jiuchen still walked leisurely.Hearing Liang Qiunian's nonsensical questions, he smiled lightly: "I believe. I will believe what you say."

It is undeniable that Liang Qiunian was completely moved.but……

"Why did you suddenly sleepwalk? I have been with you for two years, and I have never seen you have this problem."

"How should I say it?" Yao Jiuchen seemed to be talking to himself.Sui Dao, "The Buddha said that suffering is not suffering, and happiness is not happiness. It is just a momentary obsession. If you cling to one thought, you will be trapped in one thought; It all comes from the heart. Some people, some things, can’t be met, and there is only pain to force. In this case, relax your mind and let nature take its course. No matter when and where, you must have a carefree heart and maintain an open-minded attitude. Mentality, don't let yourself live tired."

Forget it when you become a monk!Liang Qiunian secretly slandered in his heart, but on second thought, what Yao Jiuchen said was very appropriate to the current situation.I don't know what the murderer who killed Old Gu was demanding, his obsession was terrifying.

"Hey." Yao Jiuchen took a few steps, reminding Liang Qiunian to follow quickly, "Can you think of who killed Old Gu?"

"You think I'm a god, and you even know this." Liang Qiunian smiled wryly, "However, if you give me sufficient conditions, I should be able to find the suspect. For example, the neighbor who first found the corpse was obviously lying. Uncle Chen, ah, and the village head."

I don't know if he went with Liang Qiunian, Yao Jiuchen was not surprised, and asked him why he doubted those people.Liang Qiunian scratched his head and said, "The deceased was disemboweled and his internal organs removed after death. How long do you think it will take to do this work?"

"It will take 15 minutes at least."

"Yes. Then think about what the person who found the body said?"

Yao Jiuchen recalled that the uncle who found the body said that he ran into the old Gu's house 10 minutes after he heard the old Gu's screams. Thinking about it this way, the time was completely wrong.

Liang Qiunian continued to add: "The neighbor told me that when he arrived at Uncle Gu's house, the courtyard door and the house door were all closed. I was very curious. The murderer kindly closed the door for the deceased after killing someone. Is it very leisurely? Tell me, is there something wrong with it? As for the village chief, I don’t need to say more, don’t you also have doubts about him.”

Yao Jiuchen let out a long sigh, as if unwilling to face the reality.Regardless of these, Liang Qiunian said frankly: "The village head is also a matter of time. Today, ah, it was already yesterday. We came back last night. We didn't meet anyone when we entered the village. We are the only ones who know you came back. Third aunt. Logically speaking, when I met the village head at the scene of the crime just now, it should be the first time you two met. But he said, 'I still want to see you tomorrow morning', isn't it obvious that he knew you would come back. There is only one reasonable explanation: it's not that he knows you're back, but that he saw you." Having said this, Liang Qiunian tightened the collar of his down jacket, retracting his chin and mouth, "I heard a scream. Wake up, you came out at that time. I put on my clothes and ran out, which took about 10 minutes. After I went out, I saw some villagers running towards Uncle Gu’s house, most of them were wearing clothes while running. But you, walking faster These villagers are farther away than me, and they are not on the same road. In other words, you left the house before you screamed. Then, when did the village chief see you? We understand this."

After speaking, Liang Qiunian looked at Yao Jiuchen with trepidation, waiting for his interrogation and his attitude.However, Yao Jiuchen's face did not change at all, and he said after a while, "You always like to explain everything logically and scientifically. You know, there are many wonders in the world, many things are unscientific, and many things have no logic at all. Sometimes, you have to believe the unscientific stuff."

"No way." Liang Qiunian disagreed with him, "What exists is reasonable."

"I'm not arguing with you about this. Come, come here." Yao Jiuchen stopped, looked sideways at Liang Qiunian and glanced at him.This glance was so indescribably charming that Liang Qiunian was dumbfounded on the spot, drooling.Yao Jiuchen raised the corners of his lips, pointed to the front of himself, and said with a smile, "Come on."

Liang Qiu, who had three souls out of his body, went to the place Yao Jiuchen was pointing at, and turned his back to him.Yao Jiuchen lay on his back lazily: "Carry me."

"tired?"

Yao Jiuchen lay on Liang Qiunian's body, put his mouth against his ear, and said softly, "Your feet are sore."

"You're going too far!" Liang Qiunian said solemnly, "I should have carried it long ago."

It was rare for Yao Jiuchen to laugh and narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched Liang Qiunian's ear: "Where did you learn those messy things?"

Whoops, I still asked.Liang Qiunian chuckled: "I learned it from my dad. He often taught me when he was alive."

Yao Jiuchen knew that Liang Qiunian's father was a policeman who died when he was 15 years old, and now there is only one mother in the family.Yao Jiuchen hugged Liang Qiunian's shoulders tightly, and said some irrelevant gossip.

The two walked and chatted without saying a word. There was still 300 meters away from the small building. Yao Jiuchen suddenly became anxious and told him to run quickly.

"You really think of me as a war horse?"

"Shut up." Yao Jiuchen shouted, "I won't let you speak, don't talk."

Liang Qiunian didn't dare to chew anymore.Yao Jiuchen was rarely so serious to him, what happened this time?With doubts in his stomach, he ran to the door of the small building.He was young and strong and not very tired.But Yao Jiuchen stopped Liang Qiunian when he was about to push the door, and said in a low voice, "Don't open your mouth no matter what you see later, just follow me. If you see a strange light, just run away, don't worry about other things, use your strength." run."

"Why?" Liang Qiunian asked dissatisfied.

"Hush." ​​Yao Jiuchen signaled him to keep quiet, and a simple movement made Liang Qiunian's heart ache.

With the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open, a damp musty smell hits the face.Liang Qiunian covered his mouth and nose and followed Yao Jiuchen in.Look around with the faint light.The situation on the first floor was ordinary, with rubbish and broken tables and chairs all over the floor, as well as a few piles of broken bricks.There is a broken window on each side of the northeast, and the cold wind blowing in from the outside of the open space is howling, as if the whole small building is sneering sinisterly.Liang Qiunian saw Yao Jiuchen walking cautiously towards the north stairs leading to the second floor, and he hurriedly followed.

The stairs are made of wood, and because they have been in disrepair for many years, they will make a harsh clicking sound. This sound is very loud. If there is someone upstairs, it is enough to attract the attention of the other party.Liang Qiunian was about to remind Yao Jiuchen to be careful, remembering that he warned him not to speak, so he subconsciously covered his mouth.

Yao Jiuchen finally finished walking the stairs, stood at the top of the stairs and looked around, and then he let out a sigh of relief: "It's okay, come up."

Alert lifted!Liang Qiunian walked up to Yao Jiuchen's side in a few steps, and his glance made him stunned on the spot.

There is not much space on the second floor, or it is more appropriate to say that there is only one room.In the middle of the room is a wooden table with a painting on it.I don't know if I should call that thing a "painting" because it's so dirty and old that I can't see the texture clearly.Let's call it "painting".

Paintings, which stand out on the wooden table, are not the only thing.In addition to the painting, there was a poor-quality bowl, a small pile of unidentified objects emitting a foul smell, and a few red pieces.Because the light was too dim to see clearly at this distance, Liang Qiunian took out his phone, turned it on, and walked over.Taking a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Yao Jiuchen, come quickly." Liang Qiunian pointed to the red thing on the wooden table and said, "Here it is. Old Gu's stolen internal organs are here."

Liver, intestines, and heart are placed in sequence on the wooden table.This looks like some sort of ritual.Liang Qiunian gently pushed Yao Jiuchen, fearing that the cleanliness Jiuye would get dirty, but he didn't push.Inexplicably feeling a little lost—Yao Jiuchen doesn't need his care.

"Is this also called painting?" In order to break the silence, Liang Qiunian returned his attention to the wooden table.He found that the so-called painting had poor brushstrokes, but the content of the painting could be understood roughly.

There is a man in the painting, wearing blue clothes.The strange thing is: the man is painted with a bull's head.The right hand wields a stick with a skull at the top; the left hand holds what should be a rope with a noose on it.The blue-clothed tauren stood on the back of a blue bull, which was kneeling on a woman's body.

"Yao Jiuchen, what do you think..." Before he finished speaking, Yao Jiuchen reached over and picked up the inferior bowl on the table, which contained a small amount of red liquid.Liang Qiunian leaned over to smell it, and immediately covered his nose, "Human blood."

"Well, it's probably old Gu's blood." Yao Jiuchen spoke in a calm tone, as if talking about the weather today.Afterwards, he raised the bowl a little higher, and asked Liang Qiunian to take a careful look at it with his mobile phone, and began to ponder seriously.The more he thought about it, the more ugly Yao Jiuchen's face became.Finally, he stuffed the bowl to Liang Qiunian in disgust.

Holding the bowl, Liang Qiunian asked him puzzled, "What did you see?"

Yao Jiuchen took a step back, and pointed at what Liang Qiunian was holding: "Human skull."

"Damn it!" Liang Qiunian threw the bowl on the ground by mistake, and rubbed the hand that took the bowl vigorously on his clothes, "The murderer is a pervert, he can do anything like this."

Perversions, murders, bone bowls, rituals, eccentric portraits.These factors suddenly made Liang Qiunian unprepared to realize the sense of fear.Just now, the newborn calf's fearlessness of tigers disappeared, and its neck became stiff.Yao Jiuchen who was on the side could actually laugh a few times, "Are you scared?"

"Who, who said that?" Someone slapped a swollen face to pretend to be fat, "I will be afraid?"

A small cold wind blew in, creaking, creaking... Finally, Liang Qiunian's face turned pale.Yao Jiuchen held his belly and laughed out of character, Liang Qiunian felt his face was burning, it was too embarrassing!

"Have you finished laughing?" Liangqiu Nian glanced blankly, pointing at the wooden table, "Are you still doing serious business?"

"Go back, it's almost dawn."

"Ah? Just leave like this? I said, wait for me." Liang Qiunian hurriedly chased after Yao Jiuchen, not wanting to stay in this poor place for a second.
