The fire in the room was warm, it was so warm that it warmed my heart, and although my expression was a little blank, the fire made me feel a little warm and return to me. ()

It was a little past 7 p.m., and it had been almost an hour since we had returned from the village, and it was only then that I had eased up a little.

The water on the makeshift stove began to 'rattle' and the warm water vapor rose, giving me a real sense of my surroundings at last.

At this time, a pair of hands reached over, lifted the kettle on the simple stove, and poured it into an enamel jar, and then an unusually fragrant smell wafted in the room, and those hands stuffed the enamel jar into my hand, and said: "Ming Qian tea, I stole my grandfather's, drink some." Tea is the most calming and refreshing to clear the mind. ”

It's Qinhuai!

I picked up the tea jar and silently took a sip of the hot tea, feeling a lot better.

Qin Huai squatted down beside me and said, "I know that your kid loves tea the most, how about it?" Appetizing, right? ”

I smiled at Qinhuai, and I didn't know if this smile was a little weak.

"Well, if you kid don't want to speak, don't say it. I don't know what's wrong with you, after you come back, no one speaks, and everyone else doesn't care, I'm such a good buddy with you, can you bear to hang me? Qin Huai muttered beside me.

"Sanwa, eat!" Suddenly, another pair of hands reached out in front of me, holding a lunch box containing rice, meat pieces, mustard, and the most surprising thing was a small ball of oil and spicy seeds.

Putting down the tea jar, I took the lunch box and began to eat in a big gulp, the owner of this lunch box needless to say that I know who it is, and I know that it is Brother Sheng when I listen to the voice.

"Delicious, right? Your sister-in-law stole two small bottles of rice, and seeing you like this, she cooked them and asked me to serve them to you. Brother Sheng said on the side.

"Why are there still oily peppers?" I don't lift my head when I eat.

"Your sister-in-law is from Hunan, and she also likes spicy food, so she smuggled a small bottle. Hehe, women are amazing. Brother Sheng laughed helplessly.

"My sister-in-law is very cute." I mean it.

"Yes, I'll buy you with a box of food, my tea is worthless. No matter how much you tease, you won't say half a word to me. Qin Huai said sourly beside him.

I swallowed a mouthful of food and said, "When I'm done eating, I'll tell you, I'm in a panic." ”

"Okay." Brother Sheng and Qin Huai said almost in unison.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This is a small room, connected to the big room where we slept, and it was cleaned out when we were cleaning the house, in fact, it was prepared for Brother Sheng's little family.

After all, it is not too convenient for a small couple to sleep with a large group of people, and they are scientific researchers, so they need a separate room to place instruments and do some experiments, and some experiments are done as quickly as possible, of course, I don't understand.

Holding the tea poured for me by Qin Huai, I held a cigarette in my mouth and leaned back in my chair a little tiredly, just recalling the experience in the village, which was not a pleasant thing.

In fact, walking in the village or on the mountain, I didn't feel very cold, because I was too scared and nervous, until I returned to this only pure place, and the only place where humans lived in this area, I realized that I was cold all over my body, and it was a kind of cold from the heart.

"Don't be so smiling like a thug." My sister-in-law tore the cigarette off my mouth, stuffed it in my hand, and said, "Take it well." ”

I looked at my sister-in-law with some surprise, I didn't expect that from these terrifying scenes, the first one to come back to her senses was a seemingly soft woman, no wonder there is a saying that from the perspective of psychological toughness, women are stronger than men, they are less likely to be defeated, and they are more willing to face difficulties in desperate situations, rather than choose despair.

Then there is Brother Sheng, after all, as a scientific researcher, Brother Sheng is much more rational than ordinary people, he said: "Sanwa, because Ma Xiao fainted, you came back urgently, in order to hurry, you used the 'immortal guidance' on the way back, right?" ”

"Yes." I'm a little baffled, how could Brother Sheng ask this question.

"I understand what your brother Sheng meant, he wants to say, you missed a detail, that is, when you come back, has the mountain road changed?" Sure enough, it's a small couple, it's a tacit understanding.

When they asked, I felt a little inexplicable, I really didn't pay attention to this detail, because there was nothing worthy of my attention, I subconsciously said: "The road when I came back is not any different from the road when I left." ”

Brother Sheng helped his glasses and said: "The problem is here, I heard what you said, you mentioned a sentence, that is, Jiang Ye wants you to come back before two o'clock, because you must reserve enough time, for fear that the old village chief will make trouble on the road." ”

"Yes, deliberately, this old village chief is almost certain that he also has the ability to use fog to make people lost. Why did he let you come, and you departed, and there was no troublemaker? The sister-in-law added on the side.

"That's not fog, that's his resentment." I corrected that I don't know what this detail says.

As for Qin Huai, the kid reacted and said with a sigh: "Chengyi, what do you say you want to do?" It's only the first day, and when you lie down, will he find us and let us all lie down? ”

Qin Huai's kid said this purely because he was afraid, but unexpectedly, his sister-in-law said: "Yes, Qin Huai has grasped the key point." ”

Qin Huai said dumbfounded; "Did I get the stupid point?"

Brother Sheng helped his glasses again and said, "The key point is that Jiang Ye, the three babies are clues, so let's all lie down." I can tell that! ”

"Why do you say that?" I don't understand the meaning of Brother Sheng's words.

"Because I and your brother Sheng like to read detective novels with strict logic on weekdays, since your master once said that the reason why the old village chief is so cruel is because he grew up because of resentment, but he was controlled by resentment, then we can understand that resentment will not let anyone go! Why did you let you go? It is because of the fear that it can find you and be sure to devour you. That's it. The sister-in-law explained, but she was not afraid of her explanation, but just analyzed it very rationally.

"Well, don't say it, I'm empty. If you want to come to a master, I can still use a knife to fight hard, this grievance, what should I do with it? Qin Huai's face turned pale, and the kid began to complain again.

"For how to fight with grievances, this kind of professional question, you should ask professionals, such as Jiang Ye, such as Sanwa." Brother Sheng replied seriously.

Qin Huai looked at the sky speechlessly, why can't Brother Sheng be flexible at all? And the sister-in-law laughed out loud, I guess what she likes is Brother Sheng's stupid look.

Seeing my sister-in-law smile cheerfully, my mood is inexplicably better, my sister-in-law is a person who can make people feel the cuteness of such a creature, and her optimistic mood can infect everyone.

I said, "I really want to talk to my master, he and Gao Ning can't talk inexplicably, and they still have a variable or something. However, you can also see that they came back and didn't say anything, so they didn't have a bottom here. ”

"I think Jiang Ye should think that it is necessary not to say it, because he is not sure, have you forgotten that when Jiang Ye entered the village, he said another unsolved mystery?" Qin Huai analyzed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard my master's voice coming: "Qinhuai, although you kid often drop the chain, but when you analyze it, it is still more reliable, indeed, I am not sure about this village, so I won't say it." ”

"Master, when did you come in?" I asked.

"Oh, just now, I've been listening to you for a long time. Yang Sheng and Jingyi's analysis is very correct, we have two ways to go now, either we will come to reinforcements, or we will go back tomorrow. Master said solemnly.

Leaving? Or wait for help? Has the situation become so serious?

My curious personality came up again, stood up and said excitedly, "Master, no matter what, even if it's a guess, you have to tell me what's going on in this village!" ”
