Xie Jin watched Wen Liang threw the dead snake on the ground, and stepped forward to make up for it. After confirming that it was really dead, he asked Wen Liang, "How did this snake get to you?"

"It's small and hard to detect, and the Zhao family environment is so humid and dark, it's easy to get on me." Wen Liang glanced at the little red snake that had been trampled on the ground, and picked up the dark cloth that was used as a hood just now. The corpse on the ground was wiped clean.

"To be honest, our current situation is very passive. Zhao Yan's reputation is higher than I thought. He believes that we will not fight for He Nian."

Wen Liang didn't care about the wound he was bitten by the snake, he sat back by Ji Duan's bed again, "Now I can only say that I hope He Nian doesn't do anything stupid."

"Aren't you looking for it? There are still three days before the sacrificial ceremony begins. If you really wait until then, I'm afraid there is no way to take care of it..."

Xie Jin's voice was getting lower and lower, and the disappointment in his eyes was obvious. If he really delayed until the sacrifice, he would probably have to stare at Ji Duan the whole time, and he would have no time to think about He Nian.

"Whoever said not to look for it, I'll let Tong Tong Yuyu go." Wen Liang took out the cigarette stick from the shirt he took off, and smoked one after another. He turned to look at Ji Duan, and suddenly said to Xie Jin, "Let Li Yougui come over tomorrow, or we can find him."

"Yes, he should be the one who knows the Zhao family best, and maybe he can provide ideas." Xie Jin stared at the cracks in the wooden iron plate. The lights were not turned on in the house. The dim moonlight pulled their shadows for a long time, and finally disappeared into the cracks. .

Sleepless all night, He Nian left without saying goodbye, breaking the previous short-term stability, Xie Jin waited until Wen Liang got up and the two discussed Li Yougui for a long time.

Considering that there are often people in Droktada's house, and not at ease of staying here, they finally decided to let Li Yougui come over.

While waiting for Li Yougui to arrive, don't know if the herbal medicine worked. Ji Duan woke up for a while, but his consciousness seemed to be blurred. Although he could move his eyes, he couldn't fully speak. He just opened his mouth. He muttered two words silently.

Xie Jin recognized the mouth shape, and Ji Duan was repeating his name.

At seven o'clock in the morning, they did not wait for Li Yougui, but a sudden mountain rain. The mountain rain was raging, and together with the gust of wind, it pressed down on the bamboo forest around the yard.

"It's suffered! The room upstairs will leak rain!" Droktada, who was under the hot porridge downstairs, found the rain pouring down, busy holding a spatula to the second floor, "Can you help clean up the water!"

Xie Jin and Wen Liang rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs again, and went up to the third floor for rescue with a basin in their hands.

The third floor of the DROKTADA's family is just a loft built. It is usually used to accumulate some debris and does not live.

The rain poured into the house through the roof leak, and the two of them hurried over to collect the water with a basin. Wen Liang was there to study how to repair the roof, and Xie Jin poured water out of the window with a basin.

The two were busy for a long time, and Wen Liang finally found a waterproof plastic sheet to fill the hole. When the roof was completely repaired, they were already drenched in soup.

"Everything has been damaged..." Xie Jin picked up a book made of unknown leather from the shallow water. He didn't want to peek at the contents. He just separated the soaked pages from the middle and placed them on a place where there was no rain. The place.

A glance at the content, it is a font that can't understand. It seems to be Manchu. This should be the notes of Droktada.

"The quality is really good, so it won't be damaged." Xie Jin muttered to himself in a low voice, but Wen Liang came over at this time, staring at the rain-soaked notebook, he whistled.

"Huh~ This is parchment paper, so the quality is so good, and this ink is not ordinary." Wen Liang glanced at a few pages of the book, and gave up when he found that he couldn't understand it.

When the third floor was almost cleaned up, when Xie Jin went to close the window, he met Li Yougui, who was wearing a mink robe downstairs.

Li Yougui was wearing a mink robe and a hat on his head. When he looked at Xie Jin, he did not forget to stretch out his hand to press the edge of the hat. Xie Jin looked at the thing that was constantly fluttering in his hand and found that it turned out to be a wet colorful flower collar. big cock.

"Chicken?" Xie Jin and Wen Liang looked at each other, they called Li Yougui to find He Nian, but Li Yougui made them a little confused.

"Go downstairs first."

Holding the pot, I hurried downstairs. Droktada just finished breakfast. When she saw Xie Jin and wen liang, she wiped her hands on the apron and greeted, "Eat first, li yougui you ... what is it? "

Droktada's eyes fell on the big rooster in Li Yougui's hands, and the chicken was caught in his hands, and he sent a miserable "giggling" under the huge scary cover.

"Why take chickens?" Droktada took the chicken skillfully from Li Yougui, and then put it into the firewood house on the first floor kitchen. "It's not other days, it feels strange."

Li Yougui didn't answer, just showed a shy smile at the girl, he sat down beside Xie Jin and Wen Liang, and seeing that there was no one else, he asked, "How about that young man with a very poisonous mouth, why don't you see him? he?"

The incident happened suddenly last night. Wen Liang didn't tell Li Yougui about Ji Duan when he called him over. Now that he was suddenly asked about it, it undoubtedly made Xie Jin's heavy mood worse.

In the violent wind and rain, Xie Jin retracted his jaw, he distributed the bowls and chopsticks that were already on the table to Li Yougui, and said softly, "Ji Duan's curse broke out, and he fainted last night, and then Ah Nian also suddenly Leave without saying goodbye."

"That is to say, I don't know what An Nian is doing." Droktada put a piece of coarse grain nest on the table, and there was a plate that had just fried river shrimp sauce. She stood in front of the table with her fleshy cheek Much, "But I don't know about the inside of Bayi Village, so I can only find you."

"I... you, okay." Li Yougui looked at the three pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly, and could only compromise, "You said He Nian was lost, but how could I know where he is?"

"Didn't you always hang out with Zhao Guangsheng and the others before?" Zhuo Ketuoda brought the porridge pot over, and first scooped a spoonful of white porridge for Li Yougui, "Even if you pretended to be friends with them before, you can still know more or less." Is it the habit of the Zhao family Tibetans?"

The girl's sharp voice pierced the eardrums, making Li Yougui a little ashamed and angry for no reason. He wanted to refute, but recalling how aggrieved he was by Zhao Guangsheng before, he was powerless to refute.

The hand that just raised the chopsticks was put down again, Li Yougui looked at the white rice grains mixed with the soup in his eyes, and sighed deeply, "I didn't, I never really followed them to do those outrageous things, even if they brought me occasionally, according to Zhao Guangsheng He never told me the reason and purpose, I just need to follow his arrangement."

The hands hidden under the coir raincoat slowly clenched into fists, Li Yougui didn't intend to explain anything, except for himself, no one could experience the feeling of family ruin and death.

"...Have you checked all the villages?" Another heavy sigh, Li Yougui enumerated some places that are more likely based on his understanding of Zhao Dong and Zhao Guangsheng, "The Zhao family has many rooms that I don't know what they are used for. , I can’t go in often, even if I go in, I will be restricted from moving.”

"The Zhao family has checked, and the person is not there." Wen Liang held a steamed cornbread in his hand, and said while sending shrimp paste to his mouth, "Li Yougui, can I ask you something?"

After Li Yougui looked at him and cast a questioning look, Wen Liang chewed the food in his mouth and asked, "When you first met us outside the village, were you really patrolling?"

"Take Zhao Dong's level of protection for Zhao Guangsheng as an example. Zhao Dong, who doesn't even allow us to talk, can let his son go out to patrol the village at that time?"

Wen Liang raised his hand and scratched the place where he was bitten by the snake last night. Although it would not be affected by the toxin, there was still a slight trace there. He turned his head and looked at Xie Jin, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"Recalling Zhao Dong's attitude now, it's really strange." Xie Jin also looked at Li Yougui, the facial muscles of this not-so-good-looking young man visibly stiffened.

"That night? That night was indeed not a patrol." Li Yougui's expression sank, "But Zhao Guangsheng didn't tell me in detail what I was going to do, he just said that I was going to hunt."

"Hunting? Hunting in the middle of the night?" Wen Liang raised his eyebrows. He always felt that the so-called hunting was not really hunting, but had some other purpose.

Li Yougui nodded, the rain-soaked coir raincoat on his body made his shoulders sore, but his thoughts were clearer than ever, "It's hunting, that's right, he said that a rabbit escaped from his house, and he has to catch it , I said it vaguely at the time, and I didn't really believe it."

"Not long after leaving the village, we heard the sound of the traps set up around the village. When we went to check, we found a bonfire, so we met you."

Thinking of the unpleasant experience of being choked by Wen Liang when they met for the first time, Li Yougui twitched the corners of his mouth a little, "You all know what happened next."

"Hunting rabbits? Ha! As far as I know, the bearded young master of the Zhao family is not someone who would do such a thing in the middle of the night."

Droktada obviously did not believe this set of words. She opened her chair and sat next to the table, urging Li Yougui. "You can say that Brother A Nian may be? If Zhao's family does not have it, where can they hide him?"

It was still raining outside the house, and the few of them sat around the table on the first floor, which couldn't even be called a table. The thunder was rolling, and no one in the house answered for a while.

The rainwater hits the outer wall of the wooden building forcefully, although it will not leak and collapse, but this is not a small building with a steel structure that always gives people the illusion of trembling and shaking in the wind and rain.

Accompanied by the sound of rain, Li Yougui carefully proposed a possibility: "You guys, can you really be sure that he is still in the village?"
