In the dark of night, the air is filled with the peculiar smell of earth after rain.

Sanshi Village is a small place, and few houses still have lights on after dark.

Walking on the cement road washed by the mudslide, Qin Fan and the three of them were silent.

"Is there anything you two want to say about today's incident?"

Qin Fan opened his mouth and asked the other two.

Xue Qingming and Yao Duanwu both lowered their heads.

They have words, but they can't open them in their hearts.

"The two of you often go up the mountain, you should know how far apart those two places are, and we can't just roll into the hole by accident. ”

Even if he didn't want to tell the truth, Qin Fan couldn't help it at this moment.

"But...... This does not rule out that it was raining at that time, and it was washed by mudslides everywhere, and we couldn't distinguish the direction, so we went the wrong way for a while. ”

Xue Qingming hurriedly spoke, wanting to argue with Qin Fan, but was quickly pushed back by the latter's words.

"Then you think it's fake that we have walked so far after we came out?"

The three of them didn't speak again, and the sudden instantaneous shift made these people very scared in their hearts.

"This matter is a bit weird, of course, it is not ruled out that the mountains are full of pits, we took a shortcut by mistake, do you two want to go back and see?"

For the strange place on the mountain, Qin Fan was very curious.

Xue Qingming and Yao Duanwu originally wanted to take advantage of this time to go up the mountain to see if there were any valuable things such as meat lingzhi, but when they heard him say this at this moment, their minds immediately became active.

"I want to go back and see, if nothing else, I want to figure things out. ”

"Since you both are going, I'm going too. ”

After the two of them expressed the meaning in their hearts clearly, Qin Fan nodded.

They agreed to go up the mountain after noon tomorrow, when the dew in the forest was almost steamed, and it was not easy to fog up, and the visibility was the highest of the day.

There was a faint light in the courtyard of Yao's house, and Qin Fan pushed open the door of the moon courtyard and saw that the rest of the family were sitting in the hall waiting for him.

"Uncle, aunt, why haven't you rested yet?" Qin Fan asked, walking all the way back, the shoes on his feet were already soaked with water.

"We just want to wait for you, you're hungry, there's rice in the pot, let's go eat it quickly. ”

Yao Qing's eyes followed Qin Fan closely, and after seeing him come back safe and sound, his heart also fell.

"I said a long time ago, this kid is very hard-hitting, even if anyone has an accident, it won't be his turn, you two have to worry!"

"I didn't take care of my own family affairs every day, and I went to take care of other people's homes, isn't it just salty and eating radishes and worrying about it?"

Jin Ju pursed his lips, flicked his sleeves, walked around the desk to Qin Fan, and spread his palms to him.

"Today, the village chief gave you a thousand yuan, and the money is used as living expenses, and the family hasn't opened meat for a long time, and I also want to hurry up and buy something good, you can bring the money." ”

Qin Fan was stunned, his four pockets were as heavy as his eyes, and he didn't have a penny on his body at all.

"Auntie, I gave that money to Zhou Shuiying, her father's body is very weak now, and he needs to spend money to buy something to make up for his body. ”

After saying this, Jin Ju immediately jumped on the roof like a fried cat.

"You said that you are a person, you don't care about your family all day long, you just think about other people's bad things, that's the money given by the village chief, and the big guys are clearly looking at it, what are you doing to that girl?!"

"I said a long time ago, this kid's heart is not towards our family, and he will get rich in the future, it must have nothing to do with us!"

Her words became more and more outrageous, and gradually, Yao Qing's face became gloomy.

"Don't say a word, the Zhou family has been a poor household in our village for many years, and it is estimated that the family is about to be unable to open the pot, what are you angry with the same child. ”

After seeing that everyone in charge of the house had spoken, even though Jin Ju was angry in his heart, he also took care of his body, and didn't say anything more, just rolled a few eyes at Qin Fan from time to time.

At night, the Yao family ate boiled noodles in clear water, and when Yao Xin and the others came back, the noodles were already lumpy, let alone waiting for Qin Fan to come back.

In the big pot of the kitchen lies a bowl of noodles, the water is warm, and the noodles also have a hint of temperature.

"This noodle is all lumpy like this, it's weird to eat it, I'll cook you another bowl." ”

Yao Xin opened his mouth, looked at the noodles in the pot, and always felt that this thing was not eaten by people.

"It's okay, boiled noodles have their taste. ”

Qin Fan waved his hand, sat on the low bench in the kitchen, and ate it in a big gulp.

Yao's family is not having a good time, if he makes a bowl again, I don't know how Jin Ju will be difficult later.

Compared to this stuttering, Qin Fan wanted his ears to be pure.

The next day, at dawn, he was sitting on the edge of his bed meditating.

Suddenly, I heard a crackling sound from upstairs, as if something had accidentally rolled to the floor.

But the sound quickly faded away, replaced by the clatter of Jin Ju walking down the stairs and his slippers on the floor.

She arrived at Qin Fan's door and stretched out her hand to knock softly.

Qin Fan got up and pushed the door open, and saw Jin Ju's haggard face.

It is estimated that she didn't sleep well last night, there was a heavy shadow of love under her eyes, her hair was scattered behind her head, and she was haggard.

"Auntie, do you have anything to do with me?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I haven't had anything to eat at home lately, so let's see when you have time to go to town and buy some back." ”

She said indifferently, but after all, she was an arrogant person, and when she said such a thing at this moment, her mouth was a little soft.

"These things are not for me to eat, but for your uncle, you know that he is not in good health, and the stick porridge we eat on weekdays is so bad that I can't digest it. ”

The supplements that Qin Fan bought back before, Yao Qing has been eating as a meal.

In fact, it is not necessarily a good thing, but it is estimated that because there are no strong analgesics, they use these supplements as psychological medicines.

After eating it for more than half a month, I insisted that this thing had a miraculous effect.

"No problem, I'll go to town tomorrow. Qin Fan nodded.

Although he had no cash on him, he still had a little money in his account.

This is the living expenses left to him by the thousands of crazy Dao people before, Qin Fan didn't use it much, and after accumulating it, it can also play an emergency role.

Seeing that Qin Fan agreed to come down, Jin Ju also nodded.

But the man didn't leave the door, grabbed the hem of his clothes with his hands, and when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say what he wanted to say.

"That...... In addition to these, I have something I want you to buy. ”
