"What are you doing? Suddenly throwing this thing on him, do you want the whole village to suffer bad luck?!" Zhao Guangsheng grabbed the skinny old man's shirt and pushed back with one hand. How could the old man bear this strength? , The whole person staggered back a few steps, and suddenly hit the heavy wooden door.

Not only Xie Jin and Wen Liang who hurried over, but also those who were holding Ji Duan in the chaos and Ji Duan who was restrained, all failed to react for a while.

"A-sheng, forget it, the old man is ignorant." After a long time, one of the thin, tall men with a figure like bamboo let go. He came over and patted Zhao Guangsheng on the shoulder, and then faced the ground. The silent old man winked, "Why don't you hurry up?"

The old man didn't get up and leave immediately. He stared at He Nian, whose face was covered in blood, with a kind of hatred, as if he had a deep grudge with this little guy who didn't understand the world.

The expression on the man's face was a little unsettled. He turned his head in the direction of the old man, and then said something incomprehensible in Manchu. Xie Jin saw the old man's expression changed from anger to panic, and then got up from the ground and ran out. go.

"Both sides are relieved. It was purely an emergency, and we didn't expect it to be true." The man with bamboo spirit brought Zhao Guangsheng over, squinting and smiling at them, "There was a misunderstanding, this blood is not auspicious, it's better like this Bar."

"Yougui, I remember that you have an unused old house in your house. Take them there and wash the blood of that damn black dog." He looked at Li Yougui, and Li Yougui looked at him.

"Aren't you going?" The smile on the Zhuzijing man's face gradually became stiff, and finally solidified like a fake mask on his face. Li Yougui quickly avoided it and whispered that he knew.

At this time, Ji Duan and He Nian had been let go. He Nian, who was poured from head to toe in a pot of black dog blood, looked terrible. Although he was wiped by Xie Jin's quick-drying towel, his ignorant face still remained. Indelible dark red marks.

He was like a doll who didn't know how to take care of himself at all. He let Xie Jin wipe everything that could be wiped, and then followed Wen Liang out of the ancestral hall.

"What's going on?" Xie Jin and Ji Duan walked at the back. He pressed his voice and asked the young man, "When we were in the ancestral hall just now, what happened outside?"

"At first, there was nothing unusual. I tried to delay as much as possible to let the two of you go in to find clues. After a while, the uncle came over with a basin of blood."

Ji Duan pinched his eyebrows, as if he was worried about this matter, "The uncle should have wanted to throw me at first, but he was blocked by He Nian, so I could avoid it."

"A Nian? He blocked it for you?" Xie Jin felt a little unbelievable. After getting along for the past two days, He Nian did not seem to him as a person with the ability to think and act, but rather like a person who relies on instinctA cub in action, pure and submissive.

This feeling is especially obvious after entering the mountain. He Nian, who can still show normal thinking ability in Heavenly River Town, seems to have changed greatly in the mountain forest. He often stares at one place for a long time, as if...…

It's as if the whole person is integrated with this mountain forest.

"Yes, I can be sure that he was at a certain distance from me at the time, and I could see him making a subconscious blocking gesture." Ji Duan was finally willing to let go of his red brows, and he looked ahead at He Nian, who was bloodied. The wide short sleeves dyed red are very uncomfortable.

Guilt and apology lingered in Ji Duan's heart. He shook his head to shake the sudden thought out of his mind. Now is not the time to step forward to thank them, but to understand why the old man poured their blood on them for no reason.

"Is it really just because of xenophobia?" Xie Jinsi thought about this possibility, and his eyelids twitched. If it was really because of xenophobia, the villagers of Badong Village would be the first after they entered the village. Great difficulty.

"It's hard to say, this place is very strange." Ji Duan raised his eyes and glanced at the low building beside him, but he still decided to tell Xie Jin about his discomfort, "I've always felt like being spied on since I entered the village just now. , those eyes are not very friendly, so no matter what happens next, we have to be vigilant."

Xie Jin was taken aback by what he said. He was about to turn his head to look according to what Ji Duan said, when suddenly he felt his neck was clasped by another hand, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Ji Duan shaking his head at himself, "Don't look, be careful to startle the snake. ."

With such an uneasy heart, they followed Li Yougui around the intricate village roads and came to a very remote house. The appearance of the house was very old, and there were still broken dragon-shaped sculptures squatting at the four corners of the symmetrical eaves. It was the kind of hundred-footed dragon they saw on the black-lacquered coffin.

Blue tiles and blue bricks, like Tan Jiang's old-fashioned courtyard houses, are typical northern buildings.

"Where is this?" Wen Liang asked quietly, avoiding the weeds that were almost calf-high shoved out from the cracks in the bricks on the ground.

"My family's ancestral house is no longer inhabited." Li Yougui replied angrily, he didn't mean to cover up his emotions at all, "I don't know what Gao Quan was thinking, but he asked me to arrange accommodation for you."

He almost muttered to himself in the second half of the sentence, but Wen Liang, who was closest to him, could hear it clearly. The Gao Quan in Li Yougui's mouth was the bamboo fine man just now.

"Your family's ancestral house was built in a splendid manner. If it was put in the past, it would be comparable to the scale of the emperor's palace?" Wen Liang looked at the two traditional "Li Houses" on the plaque at the door, and teased with a chuckle, " Wouldn't it be better without these weeds that get in the way."

Li Yougui was held in awe by Wen Liang, and for a while, even the thief's face was pleasing to the eye: "That's natural, I think our Li family was a famous name in the village back then, if it weren't for... tsk, where are you? Are you talking about me?"

"How dare I, there is nothing." Wen Liang waved his hand, "It can be seen from this mansion, if it was put in the past, it should not be this desolate appearance."

Li Yougui didn't say a word, he brought a few people into the old house. The old house is a traditional wooden structure. After years of precipitation, it exudes a lingering musty smell, which fills the nose and smells very bad. They look around for windows that can be opened.

Although the facilities in the house are old, it is not as broken as expected. Li Yougui simply took them around and left, claiming that he would bring food and some bedding later, so that Xie Jin and his party would stay in the house without running around. inside.

Naturally, they wouldn't run around at will. After Li Yougui left, Wen Liang paced to the main courtyard of the old house. He fiddled with the weeds on the ground with his toes, "It's really old here, come and see this."

Xie Jin and Ji Duan heard the words, and they saw that at the place pointed by Wen Liang's toes, the color of the floor tiles covered with weeds was not the same as the surrounding ones, and even the two were not on the same level.

"Rectangle... Has something been left here before, and it should have been left for a long time?" Xie Jin stared at the shape with a length of at least two meters or more, and then thought of the most notable feature of Badong Village, faintly in his heart. Jojo seems to have the answer.

"There used to be a coffin here." Ji Duan squatted down to pluck the weeds on the edge of the outline, and soon an obvious rectangle appeared in their sight, just like the shape of the bottom of the coffin.

"It should be true, but for some reason, the coffin has also been moved. I think there is a high probability that it will be in Li Yougui's current home." Wen Liang let go of his toes, and he caught sight of the people sitting at the entrance of the hall staring at their movements. He Nian, the blood on the little guy's face was dry, and he didn't complain.

"Anyway, we've barely settled down now, and we'll have to figure out a way to get in touch with the local villagers later." Wen Liang walked up to He Nian, looked at the bloodstain that had nowhere to go, and still held on to He Nian's thin wrist, "Now you guys Come and help, go to the bathroom that Li Yougui showed us just now, you have to boil water to wash this little guy."

It was another busy meal. The three of them performed their respective duties. One of Wen Liang and Ji Duan brought dry wood to burn the fire, and the other went to the old well in the old house to fetch water. Xie Jin was relatively relaxed. More, he just needs to take He Nian into the bathroom that has been simply cleaned, take off the blood-stained clothes on his body, and help He Nian clean his body.

The bathroom of the old house is not too small. There is a tall wooden bucket in the center of the square structure that can accommodate two people. Xie Jin let He Nian go into the wooden bucket, and he poured a spoonful of warm water into the bucket. on the little guy.

The smelly blood flowed down the skin and finally merged with the waste water in the bucket. He Nian did not show any disgust or shyness from beginning to end. He just stood there obediently and let Xie Jin clean it, as quiet as if one would not know what to do. Talking puppet.

After the two came out, Wen Liang and Ji Duan entered the bathroom. Ji Duan was spattered with blood more or less when he was in the ancestral hall. In addition, he didn't know how to do it just now, and his face was also smoked. blackened.

Not to mention Wen Liang, he ran to the well by himself to press the water, and did not speak for a long time, but he didn't press a drop of water. Finally, he threw Tong Tong Yuyu down to check, and then the debris blocked in the well was cleared. When I came out, I managed to get out of the water without a hitch.

By the time Wen Liang and Ji Duan came out of the wash, the sky had completely darkened. don't know if it was an illusion or the magnetic field in Badong Village.

The light was on in the main hall of the old house, and the two of them didn't dry their hair. They walked along the light and saw Xie Jin and He Nian sitting in front of the windbreak light, and they were communicating with each other.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Duan pulled out the bamboo chair and sat up. He saw He Nian wearing Xie Jin's old T-shirt. Although Xie Jin was not a big physique among them, this dress was still on He Nian's body. A bit too loose.

There are several lace quilts on the table next to it. It is not clear what is in the plastic bag, but it can be judged from the green color and shape. It seems to be some vegetable pancakes that have just been out of the pot. When they went to take a bath, Li Yougui once came.

"I asked A Nian just now, and I asked him why the uncle poured blood on us, and he didn't seem to be very friendly to him... A Nian seemed to say he didn't know, but I still don't understand sign language."Xie Jin picked up his fingers helplessly, his face looked worried in the steady light of the windbreaker.

"Li Yougui came here just now?" Wen Liang listened for a while, then pulled out the chair closest to him and sat down. He looked at the things that Li Yougui sent, "At least one thing is certain, the people in this village seem to be very unwelcome. our arrival."

Celebrating the holiday with mother today, wish you all a happy mother's day!

In addition, there is another treasure that proposes Ji Xie's cp named Ji Liuyongjin, not bad hahaha
