Lin Yuqiong's house is by no means as spacious as imagined.

Lin Yuqiong said that let Chen Le sleep at her house, in fact, she and her younger brother Lin Yuqing went to sleep with her grandmother, and then let Chen Le sleep on their beds.

How dare this Chen Le.

The grandmother was already sick, and if it was because of her own relationship, she asked them to squeeze three people into one bed, what if something happened.

Two people on that bed is basically the limit, and if three people go down, I'm afraid they won't even be able to turn over.

Chen Le hurriedly said that he would just give himself a mat to sleep on the floor.

There is basically no place to lie in the living room.

In the end, after a long time, Chen Le could only make a bunk on the right, that is, the room between Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqiong took a mat for him and gave him a thick quilt to prevent Chen Le from freezing.

Because it's really cold at night.

Then, Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuqing lay on the bed, and Chen Le lay on the floor next to him for the night.

The little one fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

Chen Le was tired from a day, worried about whether someone would knock on the window at night, and then thought about Lin Yuqiong's affairs, and fell asleep in a daze.

One night was fine.

The next day, Lin Yuqiong got up early to cook and feed the chickens.

Chen Le got up late as always.

In the morning, I also ate some porridge with Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuqing.

Although Lin Yuqiong said that the coarse tea and light rice were afraid of snubbing the guests.

But Chen Le felt that this was several times more comfortable than the days when he drank tap water every day at home.

In the morning, Lin Yuqiong has to be busy taking care of her younger brother and studying, and she has to take care of her grandmother to get up, wash, eat, fetch water, eat, and cook by herself.

It's completely a father and a mother.

In the past, Chen Le felt that he was very hard, and it was not tolerable to live alone.

Now I finally see that it is harder than herself, Lin Yuqiong not only has to take care of herself, but also the old and the young.

Chen Le looked at it and felt very uncomfortable.

He waited at the door for a while, only to see that Lin Yuqiong was finally busy with the morning, and came out and said to him, "I'll take you to Aunt Zhang's house." ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Le felt that Lin Yuqiong was simple and had a beautiful heart under her rustic appearance.

The good-looking skins are the same, but the beautiful hearts are the same.

Moreover, her voice is very good, soft and glutinous, warm and delicate, giving people an ethereal feeling of clear water and green mountains.

As the two came to Zhang Liping's house, Lin Yuqiong also greeted loudly.

"Aunt Zhang, I've come to see you. ”

Zhang Liping looks to be in her 40s, but half of her hair is gray.

Hearing Lin Yuqiong's greeting, she didn't even raise her head, she sat on the chair with a blank look, still slowly knitting wool in her hands, and just nodded symbolically.

Lin Yuqiong was also a little gloomy for a moment, but she still introduced Chen Le as her friend and came over to take a look.

Zhang Liping didn't say anything, with an expression immersed in the pain of losing her daughter.

Lin Yuqiong didn't say more, shook her head at Chen Le, and took Chen Le into Xie Manzhen's room.

The layout of this tiled house is similar to that of Lin Yuqiong's house.

It's just that Xie Manzhen's room is in the back hall.

Small room, almost at a glance.

Desk, chair, bed, a few books, wardrobe, bag underneath, doll in the corner, that's all.

There were already a lot of cracks on the walls of those years.

Chen Le flipped through the books in the drawer and asked casually, "Xie Manzhen didn't see Xie Manzhen 10 days ago, that is, after the two of you came back from school, after you broke up? ”

Lin Yuqiong thought for a while and said, "It's Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang said, that night, after the two of them finished eating, Manzhen went out for a walk, and when she came back, she went back to her room, and then, when she woke up the next day, she was gone, at first I thought it was going out, but then I found that I didn't come to eat lunch, so I didn't feel right, so I accompanied Aunt Zhang everywhere to look for ......."

"And when was the last time they saw each other?"

"It should be 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, Aunt Zhang said that Manzhen was admitted to college that day, she was happy, and she also wrapped dumplings for Manzhen to eat, although she didn't say the time, but it was usually 7 or 8 o'clock. ”

"When she came over the next day, did she find that the quilt was neatly folded, and was there any trace of anyone sleeping in the house?"

"Well, I don't know. ”

“......”

Although I wanted to ask Zhang Liping, looking at her demented appearance, I felt that it was useless to smell it.

Chen Le searched the room very carefully, although ten days had passed, he still tried to find some clues, such as blood stains, such as something broken and rubbed.

He even double-checked under the bed and under the table, but there were still no clues, and the room was surprisingly neat.

It's the kind of girl room that looks like it's a girl's room.

There was no sign of a fight or struggle.

"Is the door to the house locked that night?"

"Yes, usually if no one comes, Aunt Zhang will plug in the latch at seven or eight o'clock. ”

The door of the house here is latched in, and only the inside can be opened.

But the door to Xie Manzhen's room is locked with a doorknob.

In other words, if you lock it, you have to break the wooden door from the outside to get in.

Aside from the door, the only exit from this room is the window.

Chen Le pushed the window open, fixed it with a small wooden strip, and checked it carefully, but found nothing.

Lin Yuqiong stood aside, shook her head and said, "The people in the village say that it is a water ghost who takes people away silently while they are sleeping, so the police have come to see it, and many people have disappeared like this, and there are no clues." ”

Chen Le held his chin in one hand and thought, "Don't say whether it's a water ghost or not, even if someone is dragged away in the middle of the night, I don't know, I feel a little bit like I'll scream, this neighbor is so close, I should have heard it." ”

The house here is not well sealed, resulting in poor sound insulation, so you can hear even a little shouting.

Even if one person sleeps deeply, there are so many cases missing, Chen Le doesn't think that everyone sleeps so deeply.

You have to sleep like a pig before you get slaughtered.

Moreover, Chen Le found out yesterday that in this village, there are actually people who patrol the night and fight the watch, if he really drags a person out, how can he not miss so many times, and he will not even be seen by the night watchman.

It's really weird.

Chen Le even checked whether the floor under it was sturdy and whether there were any holes in the ground.

But no.

Watching Chen Le tinker for a long time, Lin Yuqiong asked with some expectation, "How is it, have you found anything?"

This made Chen Le only sigh for a long time, sure enough, it took more than 10 days to find clues, is it too reluctant?

He thought for a moment and said, "Can you take me to the places you usually go?" ”

"Where do you usually go?"

“......”

Then, Lin Yuqiong took Chen Le to the riverside, the edge of the field, and the forest where she often played with Xie Manzhen.

Lin Yuqing took the lead and walked in front and introduced.

"We can pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the forest, and we often go to the forest together to get some food and play, which should be our favorite place to come......"

As Lin Yuqiong's words fell, what appeared in front of Chen Le's eyes was a beautiful flower garden, which was a beautiful blue flower, as blue as a clear blue sky.

As soon as you walk nearby, you can smell a soft and moving fragrance that is refreshing, and even wants to make people fall into it and never wake up again.

As soon as the wind passed, the delicate flowers lowered their shy little faces, bringing up a beautiful sea of flowers.

Moreover, there are some beautiful colorful butterflies flying in the sky above the surrounding flowers, and the butterflies seem to compete with each other, flying over in the beautiful flowers.

Pretty enough.

Lin Yuqiong introduced, "This is a secret place that I discovered with Manzhen, and we planted the seeds together and planted these saucer flowers together. ”

"Saucer flowers?"

"Well, that's what we call it, as if it's only found in our forest, and it's so sweet that it attracts butterflies, so we call it the saucer flower, and, most importantly, ......"

Lin Yuqiong said, walked a few steps and squatted down, and picked two flowers.

Then he came to Chen Le's side, handed him a flower and said, "We will come here to play when we are tired, the nectar in this flower can be eaten, it is very fragrant and sweet, you can eat it." ”

As she spoke, she brought the petals to her lips and took a sip of it, revealing a somewhat intoxicated expression.

Chen Le also took the saucer flower and brought it to his mouth, and took a sip as if he was smoking a drink, and suddenly a cool feeling of ice crystals went straight to his heart.

After the ice cream-like coldness, there is an endless sweet smell that makes people taste endlessly, and the sweet Chen Le is full of lips and teeth, and his saliva is flowing.

Chen Le's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but praise, "Wow, it's delicious, it's super delicious, it's cold and cold, and it's sweet, I feel like my nose is full of fragrance." ”

Lin Yuqiong was also a little happy and said, "It's delicious, this flower is only available to us here." ”

Not only is it delicious, but it is also quite fragrant.

Because Chen Le took a flower, there were even butterflies leaning towards Chen Le, flying next to him, I don't know if I wanted to collect nectar, or if I wanted Chen Le to hurry away and don't eat their things.

The beautiful butterfly, Chen Le who saw it was also childlike.

Lin Yuqiong said, and went over to pick a few flowers.

I grew it myself, so it doesn't matter how much I want.

"This flower, good is good, but there is a shortcoming, that is, his thorns, you must not touch ......

Before Lin Yuqiong's words fell, she heard Chen Le's voice.

"Ah, it looks like I'm bleeding. “

When I turned my head, I realized that it was too late.

Chen Le himself squatted down to pick flowers, but was pricked by the thorns on the flower stems.

Lin Yuqiong was suddenly shocked, "Oh, this part of the leaves is going to be picked down, and the part of the leaves is thorny." ”

Chen Le smiled indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a prick and some blood, don't make a fuss,"

"It's not just a prick, the thorn is poisonous, if it gets into the blood, the high fever does not go away in one day, and it can kill people in two days. ”

“......”

Chen Le was really shocked, "Are you kidding, this flower is so beautiful, how can it be ......?"

Before Chen Le finished saying this, he felt that his brain seemed to be getting hotter and a little heavy

Then I remembered that the more beautiful the mushroom, the more poisonous it was......

That's what doesn't feel right......

"No, it's really a problem, that ...... You're afraid you'll have to help me find a doctor, or, a coffin......"

“......”
