Confirming that the sound came from the courtyard, Jiang Ying picked up Qin Huo, turned over and picked out the window, and landed deftly on the ground.

After walking a few steps following the sound, Jiang Ying stopped in a vegetable garden full of cucumbers.

He was so busy looking for the sound that he didn't notice the abnormal reaction of the boy in his arms.

Qin Huo put his arms around Jiang Ying's neck, his face was tense, and his brows were furrowed tightly.

He looked across the ground and saw only a few small bugs.Other than that, nothing else.

Locking on the direction where the sound came from, Jiang Ying stepped forward and walked over carefully.

At this moment, his calf suddenly hurt, as if he had been scratched by something.

Jiang Ying looked down.

A few small logs inserted in the middle of the cucumber field are wrapped with thin wires used to fix the logs.One of the wires sprang up at one end and just cut through his trousers.

The wound was not deep, just scratched the skin.

Jiang Ying only glanced at it, then looked away.

'Uh uh uh'

The strange screams continued, and the pain and fear of the owner could even be heard from them.

Jiang Ying found the right position and kicked away the vines covering it with her feet.

There was nothing below, only the little cucumber that he dropped, and a few small bugs that crawled over.

At the same time, the 'uh uh' sound disappeared.

Jiang Ying rubbed the ground with her toes unwillingly. The black sneakers, which were originally clean, were now covered with mud.

Whether it was digging or stepping on it, nothing abnormal was found.

Jiang Ying looked around suspiciously, not understanding what happened just now.

After rummaging around for a while, after confirming that there was no clue, Jiang Ying returned home.

From the diaries and photo albums, it can be seen that the woman living here is Xiao Chunhua with black shoulder-length hair.

Xiao Chunhua and his character are good friends.

The reason why they announced that they were husband and wife was probably because they were worried that Xiao Chunhua would be criticized by the villagers because she had no husband but had a big belly.

In addition, 'Jiang Ying' was entangled by the son of the village chief, and going out to live alone would be dangerous at any time.

Living together with Xiao Chunhua as a friend, the two of them are alone and widowed, and they will be pointed at by others, so they have to pretend to be husband and wife.

It's no wonder that the two bedrooms upstairs have traces of people living for a long time.

In Xiao Chunhua's diary, it was also inadvertently revealed that she and 'Brother Ying' are just friends and have been sleeping in separate rooms.

But the role he plays seems to be born gay.

He doesn't like women, so naturally he won't take a woman home for the night.

Then why is there other women's hair in the bathtub at home?

With a thought, Jiang Ying suddenly remembered something.

When Crazy Liu described his wife's characteristics to him, he mentioned that his wife had dyed blond hair and had it permed.Wavy.

Could this hair be Crazy Liu's wife's hair?

This also makes sense, why when Crazy Liu went crazy, he preferred to toss in front of the small shop.

Because his wife probably disappeared here.Although he was crazy, he subconsciously remembered this matter, so he came here to look for it.

Jiang Ying fell into deep thought.

There are a total of three people living in this family, a child, a woman, and a purely gay.

With this combination, the possibility of robbing women is about zero.

There is a TV, a stable source of income, can afford jewelry, and will go to the county to take pictures.

The economic level is still in the middle and upper reaches of the village, so there is no need to rob money.

After Crazy Liu saw him, he didn't overreact, which meant that they probably didn't know each other.

No money, no color, no hatred.

Judging from the diary, Xiao Chunhua has a temperament of jealousy and will not kill people casually.

So why did they bring Crazy Liu's wife home?

There are still too few clues, Jiang Ying thought for a long time, but did not find a reasonable answer.

He subconsciously touched his pocket and took out the paper bag he had used to hold his hair.I wondered if should show him the hair when Crazy Liu came again.

The moment she opened the paper bag, Jiang Ying was stunned.

What about hair?

Why is there not a single strand of hair that he wrapped in it before?

Jiang Ying rummaged through her pockets, but couldn't find even a single hair.

He thought he had a problem with his memory, so he jumped out of the window into the yard with the child in his arms, and re-entered the simple wooden bathroom.

There was nothing in the bright red plastic tub..

Those strands of hair just disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared before.

Jiang Ying froze for a few seconds, then turned to look at the boy.

Qin Huo put his arms around his neck, his eyes widened slightly, and his immature face was a little bewildered.

————

Xia Shining leaned on the wall of the yard, with dog ears up, looking around.

What happened just now surprised her.

The monster hiding under the stinky flower looked extremely distorted and terrifying. When Xia Shining first saw it, he was shocked.

But the old man is not afraid of it at all, beating it is like beating a mouse.

The stinky flower kept wailing, its head was sunken from the beating, and the surrounding ground was spattered with blood.

It seemed to be in a hurry, twisting its body desperately, opened its mouth and bit the old man's calf fiercely.

But it has no teeth, so it can't hurt others at all.

Under Xia Shining's shocked gaze, the old man in his seventies brandished a shovel and kept smashing at the hideous and terrifying monster.

In the end, the monster's head was smashed into pieces, and the red and white ones flowed all over the ground.

The old man kicked it a few times, like shoveling garbage, shoveling it out of the ground bit by bit.

It was Xia Shining who saw the whole picture of the stinky flowers clearly.

It was pale white above the chest cavity, a humanoid monster with no facial features or arms.Below the chest cavity is a large milky white unidentified object.

Like a huge shriveled balloon, it was set on its body.

Except for this white object, it's down.Half body no longer has anything.

Xia Shining shook her ears, a bunch of small question marks flashed in her head.

It has no hands, no feet, no teeth, it can neither attack others nor run away, what's the point of this monster growing like this.

The old man stuffed the stinky flower into a sack and dragged it out of the yard.

Xia Shining secretly followed.

The old man first put the sack into the ditch behind the yard, but the sack was too big for the water in the ditch to flush.

He kicked the sack hard and dragged it to the outskirts of the village.

It is far away from the village, there are no houses around, only a garbage pond.

It is said to be a garbage pond, but it is actually just a pile of bricks and stones, with three low walls.

A place is circled in the middle to collect garbage.

Obviously, no one has dealt with it for a long time, and the garbage has piled up into mountains, exuding a pungent stench.

Before the old man reached the garbage pool, he threw the sack on the ground and left holding his nose.

Xia Shining, who was hiding behind a tree, looked around vigilantly.

After confirming that there were no more clues, she turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a slight sound.

Xia Shining turned her head, and saw the sack next to the garbage dump, shaking undetectably a few times.

The dog ears on top of her head flicked, and she vaguely heard a faint uh-uh sound coming from the sack.

Smelly Flower seems to be crying.

————

Jiang Ying searched the second-floor building, but couldn't find the missing blond hair.

I also couldn't find where the "uh uh" sound came from.

He stood at the door of the small shop, smoking a cigarette blankly.

From time to time, villagers came in to buy things, and he didn't know how much those things cost.He takes as much as others give.

Qin Huo sat behind the counter, eating dried figs, while turning his head to look around.

He saw that there were many monsters hiding in this village.

It is not uncommon for there to be monsters in dungeons.

But the monsters here grow like this, apart from causing a little spiritual pollution to people, they won't bring any real harm.

How do they attack people?

Qin Huo was about to look away when he suddenly heard a familiar male voice.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a tall, dark-skinned man through layers of obstacles.

That is the village chief's son.

The village head's son was discussing with his father, and they decided to set fire to the small shop at night.

His father was rolling tobacco: "Whatever to burn, there is only a small shop in the village, you burn it, where will everyone go to buy things in the future."

The village head's son was smoking a cigarette: "But Dad, I like him."

"Before Crazy Liu went crazy, you also said that you liked him. Get rid of his wife and bring him home. After playing for a few days, you lost him, tsk tsk."

The village chief blew out a smoke ring: "What are you pretending to do with me? Just say that the little widow is not healthy."

"Now that Xiao Chunhua is gone, that little widow can't even carry a hoe, so what can he use to fight us? You don't have to set fire to it, just go there tonight, sleep if you want, tie it back if you want to take it home, how easy it isthing."

The eyes of the village head's son lit up, and he clinked the wine glass with his father.

Qin Huo's face was gloomy, and he looked back.

He just wanted to find a reason to avoid Jiang Ying and go to the village chief's house to kill the two of them.

Suddenly, the image of Jiang Ying pressing the NPC on the ground and whipping the corpse in the first dungeon suddenly appeared in his mind.

Poking his head out from behind the counter, Qin Huo looked at Jiang Ying who was smoking at the door, and the anger in his heart suddenly subsided.

According to what he knew about this person, if the village chief and his son really dared to come over tonight, Jiang Ying would be able to laugh out loud on the spot.

Thinking of that scene, Qin Huo's mouth unconsciously evoked a faint smile.

After a while, he thought of another thing.

Jiang Ying seems to be a little irritable, and she will never quarrel if she can fight.Moreover, he seems to be very disgusted and resistant to overly intimate contact with the same sex.

If Jiang Ying knew that the child he kept hugging and hugging was actually an adult man in disguise...

Will Jiang Ying chase him with a gun?

Imagining that scene, Qin Huo took a deep breath and hid behind the counter with some guilt.

Jiang Ying even smoked a few cigarettes, but couldn't figure it out.

After entertaining a few villagers, he went to the shelf to dig out a pack of instant noodles and began to study how to boil water.

The stove is used at home, and Jiang Ying has only seen it in period dramas, so he doesn't know how to use it.

He learned the operation from the TV series, squatting on the ground and poking the stove for a long time.The fire didn't burn, and his face was covered in smoke.

Jiang Ying dropped the fire stick, grinding her teeth angrily.

He sent a message to Xia Shining, asking if she would use this crap.

There is still no reply, and I don't know what I am busy with.

Seeing that it was already night and the boy followed him without any warm food all day, Jiang Ying became more and more irritable.

He squatted at the door smoking a cigarette, hesitating whether to grab an npc and come over to be his strong man.

The boy who had been hiding behind the counter reading comic books ran to his side at some point.

The boy fell into his arms and looked up at him obediently: "Little... brother, if I make you angry in the future, will you hit me?"

Jiang Ying snuffed out the cigarette butt, waved her hand to disperse the smoke in front of her, covered her mouth and replied, "That depends on what mistakes you made."

Qin Huo thought about the scene of Jiang Ying beating someone, hesitated for a few seconds, and said softly, "Dad, do you like me?"

Jiang Ying didn't say a word, but gently rubbed the boy's little head.

"Then I kissed you before, won't you be angry with me?"

"You are only four years old, why should I be angry with you for this kind of thing?"

Qin Huo leaned on his leg, showing a reserved smile, looking a little guilty.

"If I kiss you when I'm an adult, will you be angry?"

Jiang Ying's smile froze on her face. He held up the boy's little face and said seriously: "Xiao Qin, there is a big difference in age between us. In my eyes, you are just like my son. Don't be in such a dangerous way."idea."

"When you are six or seven years old, I won't kiss you anymore. You can kiss when you are young, but when you grow up, kissing on the face or on the mouth is something you can only do with your lover. The two of us do this againDo it, and things get weird."

After Jiang Ying finished speaking, she began to self-reflect.

Decided to keep your mouth shut in the future, don't look at the cuteness of the child, so you can't help but go over and take a few bites.

The boy nodded ignorantly. Seeing this, Jiang Ying spoke a few words to him worriedly.

When he was speaking, Qin Huo's eyes kept falling on his lips.

When Jiang Ying was thinking, she had the habit of biting her lower lip.

His light-colored lips would always turn light red when bitten by him.Where the color is darkest, there are often light tooth marks.

Qin Huo stared at the constantly opening and closing lips for a long while, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

He looks so soft, really want to hug him and kiss him.

Just like what the male and female protagonists do in TV dramas.

Qin Huo was still thinking, and his head was knocked.

He looked up, and Jiang Ying was looking at him helplessly and tenderly: "What are you in a daze for, clean up and eat later. I still haven't figured out how to boil the water, wait until I go to the yard to set up a fire and kill the chickenHow about cooking chicken for you?"

The way the man looked at him and the tone of his voice were filled with a special emotion.

This is the love and pampering of a son for the first time as a father.

For some reason, Qin Huo suddenly felt that this look was very dazzling.

Even the man's nice voice made him feel annoyed now.

He didn't like Jiang Ying treating him like this.

Maybe he shouldn't have called Jiang Ying 'brother' and 'father' just now because of guilty conscience

Will not call again.

Suppressing negative emotions, Qin Huo raised the corners of his mouth to Jiang Ying, showing a shy smile.

————

Picking a lucky old hen at random in the yard, Jiang Ying cleaned it up and skillfully started roasting the chicken.

He was afraid that the boy would be bored, so he simply assigned him a job.

Tell him to go to the second bedroom and tear off the newspapers on the wall one by one.

Jiang Ying felt that since the thing was pasted on the wall, there might be some clues hidden there.

The relationship between Xiao Chunhua and his character is really good.

The only TV at home was actually placed in 'Jiang Ying''s room.I don't know if Xiao Chunhua, who was going to be strong all her life, is really dead.

Jiang Ying roasted the chicken while recalling the contents of the diary.

He found a very strange thing.

Every time Xiao Chunhua and her went to the county town, it was June 9th.

In the diary, Xiao Chunhua also mentioned 'the door is open', 'I have signed name, have to go back on time', 'Your Majesty is watching'

Jiang Ying flipped the roast chicken and frowned in thought.

According to the diary, it can be guessed that the deaf village is controlled by a thing called empress, and the villagers cannot leave the village freely.

Only on June 9 every year, when the gate opens, they can go out, and they must come back within the stipulated time.

But Xiao Chunhua said Yingge and Xiao Bao hadn't signed, so they could leave.

What exactly does that signature mean?What is the empress?

The evil that rules the village.god?

Jiang Ying was still thinking, when the phone vibrated suddenly.

He turned on his phone and looked, and found that it was a private message from Xia Shining.

Xia Xia: "Oh my God, Brother Ying, I searched the entire Deaf Village, but I couldn't find you."

Xia Xia: "By the way, brother Ying, do you know about the smelly flower? Do you have any information about the smelly flower? I have taken in a smelly flower."

A: "Smelly flowers?"

Xia Xia: "It's just a half-body monster with no face, no limbs, and no lower body. It can groan. It was buried in the yard of the small shop before. It's not yours, it's another small shop."

Jiang Ying:?

A: "...Why did you take in a monster?"

Xia Shining put down her phone, looked down at Smelly Flower lying at her feet, drinking milk quietly.

She was ashamed to say that she felt sorry for it, for fear that others would laugh at her as the Virgin.

Xia Shining was trying to find a reason to be a bit aggressive, when suddenly a series of vibrations came from the phone.

A: "Wait! You said that the stinky flower is buried in the yard, and it will eh?"

A: "When did it start barking?"

A: "What happened to you, there is a problem with this dungeon, you have to tell me everything in detail."
