strange village

Zhu Yao was originally standing on the side, but when he pulled him like this, he also leaned over, sat next to him, stretched out his arms, and pulled him into his arms.

"Are you scared?" Zhu Yao's voice was right next to his ears, very close.

Dongyue shook her head, motioning for him to continue talking.

"The irony is that Lin Changchang's sister-in-law is also a psychologist, but not only did she not foresee the abnormal situation in her family, she even didn't notice any abnormalities. This family was originally perfect, with loving parents and filial sons. Imagine such a development.

After that, Lin Changchang also saw a psychiatrist in Europe for a long time, but it didn't seem to help her much. After her youngest daughter became an adult, she left the family and lived alone. "

As author James M. Cain said: It only takes a drop of fear to freeze love into hate.But at this time, no one can explain the reason.

And when this kind of thing happens to one's relatives, anyone will re-examine themselves and the interpersonal relationships around them, and they can't help being more vigilant about the people around them.Everyone even thinks that there is a potential murder possibility. The horror of people's hearts is far worse than horror movies.

"Is that why Lin Changchang abandoned his family and came to live in seclusion in the village?"

"You can put it that way, but I'm afraid only she knows what the real reason is."

Although she made a lot of efforts for a long time after the tragedy, she still couldn't get out of the trauma. Typical PTSD, even if she can persist temporarily for the sake of her family, she conceals her abnormality and pretends to live a normal life life, but she seems to feel that she is not the same person she used to be.In order not to affect the child, she probably bears tremendous pressure every day, desperately acting and pretending to be normal, and it is reasonable to make such a choice in the end.

Ordinary people may never think about the psychological trauma experienced as a family member of a murderer, not to mention the complexity of this case because her family members are both perpetrators and victims, and everyone who died was once her closest relative. I am afraid that every day and night after that, she will be recalling their voices and smiles, even if the faces she saw last can't be integrated with those memories of the past at all.

Maybe she also wanted to explore the truth of that tragic tragedy, but in the end she just accepted the result helplessly. All of this did happen in her life. No matter how difficult it is to accept, she must look forward and move forward. Walk.

From a certain day on, she no longer assumed how perfect her life would be if all this hadn't happened.

The life that was originally full of vitality and joy finally turned into unspeakable pain points. She repeatedly stated and recalled, but in the end, she couldn't change the wound that would gradually heal and turn into a hideous scar.

Maybe it will be longer, and in another ten years, this tragic memory will become nothing, the pain will fade, and the memory will become blurred. This is human beings. Life and death are such a big thing, and they are pale in front of time. , no one can stop in front of death forever.

Forgetting is really the most important existence in the history of human evolution.

But Lin Changchang didn't make it to that day, and disappeared together with those regrets that could not be relieved.

"But I remember that Pei Chang said that she lived here with her younger brother? Could it be that his younger brother also..."

Dongyue felt confused and even had a headache.

"Well, the younger brother she mentioned is also a bionic person."

Isn't that weird?Why are they here?I don't know if the personality and memory will be inherited in addition to the appearance of the physical body?Would it be better to get in touch?

Dongyue thought quickly, but her stomach growled uncontrollably.

His face twitched involuntarily, his eyebrows trembled, and he coughed lightly, trying to cover it up.

Speaking of eating, Dongyue was actually quite particular about food before she was single, but Zhuyao was different. Boiled noodles in clear soup, poached eggs with potatoes, mixed with soy sauce and gluten, and black sesame oil would be enough to deal with it. When a meal, the potatoes melt in the mouth, glutinous, fragrant and soft, but all in all they are still light, and his richness is not in these things.

Seeing that it was time for meal, but there was no food, Dongyue couldn't help thinking wildly, could it be that Chu Qing was raped, and they were also treated coldly?

He has always been very proud of his biological clock, because it is very regular, and his body will give him a clear signal when to do something, but it is a bit troublesome to face the current situation.

Zhu Yao didn't accompany him in a hurry, and went to take a bath first.

When Zhu Yao came out with a clean body after the bath, half an hour had passed since the usual meal time, and the servant who delivered the meal was late.

Dongyue carefully peeked into the food box, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, but the girl spoke up, "Some accidents happened today, so it was delayed for a while, and the two of you have been waiting for a long time."

Dongyue hurriedly looked at Zhu Yao, and then asked, "What happened?"

"It's not a big deal. For some reason, the warehouse is on fire. Don't you see the black smoke over there?"

"We didn't go out at noon, so we didn't notice."

"That's right, you are a little far away, and you can smell the burning smell near the warehouse. Everyone is panicking, and we are all sent to help put out the fire."

"Is anyone injured?" Dongyue thought of Pei Chang, which was too coincidental.

"It's nothing serious. They're all minor injuries. Most of them are skin wounds accidentally bumped into while busy fighting the fire. It's not a problem. It seems that someone got a little burnt and was given three days off to recuperate." The girl unexpectedly Very envious look.

It's not worth burning yourself for a three-day vacation, is it?Follow-up treatment of burns is very troublesome and painful, and anyone with a little common sense should know this.

"Do you know that person? What's his name?" Dongyue was a little flustered, thinking wildly about whether the android would be burned if it caught fire.

"I don't know each other. Usually we don't have much contact with each other, so we can't call each other by name."

"Is it a woman?"

"Well, it's a woman, how do you know?"

Dongyue had a bad premonition in her heart, so she couldn't help but "tsk".

The little girl saw that this man seemed to be in a bad mood, so she retreated embarrassingly.

"Are you worried that it's Pei Chang?" Zhu Yao looked at him and said.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence? It wasn't long before we met her and discovered her identity, and this happened to her."

"What do you think she knows?"

Dongyue shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it must be related to these things."

"Then let's eat first, and I'll go and have a look with you after eating." Zhu Yao set out the dishes one by one, and put Dongyue's favorite food in front of him.

Of course, this behavior was discovered by another person, so Dongyue subtly developed a feeling of being loved, and ate a lot without knowing it.

After the meal, the two went to the warehouse. Sure enough, there was still a slight aftertaste of burning in the air, and there were people coming and going near the door from time to time.

However, the embarrassing thing is that I don't look familiar with any of them, and I can't talk to them at all, since I have been here once before.

The situation was a bit indescribable, Dongyue stood on the side of the road and watched the people passing by one by one, hesitating, Zhu Yao grabbed a passing person and asked, "Where is the injured staff member now?"

The man pointed at the door, a place was crowded with people, and several people gathered together, talking about something.

When he took a closer look, he found that it was Pei Chang who was surrounded by the innermost part, his face was still a little gray, and the hair that was usually combed behind his head was scattered and disheveled. Curly, but really embarrassing.

Dongyue went up to talk to her: "Are you okay?"

Pei Chang raised his head in embarrassment, just in time to see him.

"I'm fine, the fire is out, don't worry."

"I heard someone was hurt, so come and see."

"I'm fine. The warehouse management girl who was on duty today was injured and has been taken away. I was busy, so I asked her to check it for me first, but it burned inside. When I heard her voice go in, the fire It started to get bigger, I called someone to put out the fire, but fortunately the fire didn't spread too fast, but she still got some burns on her arm."

"Is it all right?"

"She has already returned to the staff's lounge. The doctor treated her, so it shouldn't matter, but you still need to pay attention to the wound."

"Can we see the scene?"

Pei Chang glanced at a managerial uncle beside him, gave him a look, then turned back and said, "It's been a while since the open fire was extinguished, so please be careful, if you get hurt, we won't be able to take care of it."

Pei Chang pushed his hair behind his ears, and led the group of them into the depths of the warehouse.Pei Chang stepped forward and entered the room first.

"What is stored here?" Dongyue asked.

"It's mainly porcelain ornaments, and there are no flammables at all. It's just that a new batch of furniture decorations have been replaced in the house before. Some old things are stored here before they can be disposed of in time."

This warehouse is quite spacious, higher than the average room, and the things are not full, but they are also very organized, but now the things inside are burnt and blackened.There is a small glass window on the wall, the window is very high, it should be set for ventilation.

"How did this start a fire?"

Pei Chang walked to the center of the room, and his feet in dark cloth shoes rolled on the ground.

"This is?"

"It's a straw mat."

Dongyue squatted down and took a closer look, and indeed she could see some unburned wreckage, which looked like hay fibers.

"But there is no open flame here, how did it start?"

"It's not difficult. Things made of hay are easy to oxidize and spontaneously combust. In addition, it has been very dry recently. After burning, it ignites the carpet over there. This kind of thing burns very quickly."

"So it is."

In this way, the fire was an accident and had nothing to do with Pei Chang.

Pei Chang continued to walk a few steps, left the pile of ruins, and touched the burnt old wooden cabinet, as if he felt it was a pity.

Then he said: "But the strange thing is that these straw mats should not be here."

"You mean someone put flammables here on purpose?"

"This kind of thing is cheap and easy to buy. We generally don't keep a lot of it, and we will keep it properly when we buy it. We won't put it here randomly. If it is old or worn out, we will throw it away directly. How can we put it away?" What about in the middle of the warehouse? And this room is full of old and infrequently used things that are waiting to be processed, so consumables like floor mats really shouldn’t be here.”

The author has something to say: The fire is really scary
