The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the fog in the deep mountains is also strange.

It is said that this rain will dilute the fog, but in this deep mountain it is the opposite, and the heavier the rain, the thicker the fog will be.

Under the gloomy sky, the rain poured down and the clouds were shrouded in mist, but I didn't feel the tranquility and distance away from the hustle and bustle.

The rain outside the window didn't want to go into the house, and I was about to be drenched by the window.

While filling in the soil under his feet, he looked at them with resentful eyes, what is his labor and management rectification?

When I filled all the insects back into the soil, I left Luoyang shovel on the ground, and then strode towards Qin Yue and them.

Sitting next to Uncle Cheng and Gu Yicheng, Gu Yicheng also hurriedly handed me a bottle of mineral water.

As for Daqi, under the signal of Qin Yue's eyes, the Luoyang shovel I left on the ground was refolded and put back in the mountaineering bag.

"Zhang Bing, don't be like a resentful woman, you are a man, men should be generous, don't you just do a little work?

As soon as I unscrewed the mineral water cover, Gou Tang preached to me with a head and a face.

Listening to Gou Tang's cool words, I wanted to give her back, but I gave up after thinking about it, if I really went back, wouldn't I be honest and I wouldn't be generous?

I ignored Gou Tang, and just gave this woman a hard look.

"Mr. Weng, what do you think about this matter?"

Just as Gou Tang and I were staring, Qin Yue's voice sounded softly in this earthen house.

Hearing Qin Yue's words, I also subconsciously looked at Weng Ping, although I don't know what this Qin Yue is asking Weng Ping, but it should be related to this underground bug.

"Doesn't Miss Qin already have an answer in her heart?"

Weng Ping did not answer Qin Yue directly, but asked Qin Yue rhetorically.

"I'm not sure yet, I need an answer exactly. ”

Qin Yue's words were very beginningless and endless, and I didn't understand them at all.

If you don't understand, you're not afraid, what do people do with a mouth, isn't it just talking except eating.

At this moment, I carried forward the style of not shamelessly asking questions and asked Qin Yue, "What answer do you need?" ”

"Casual or deliberate, if you think about it carefully, every word that the village chief of Wengtou Village said to us, every word he said seemed rude and arrogant, but didn't you feel it? He seemed to be deliberately attracting our attention, and in this deliberate arrangement, we were here. ”

When Qin Yue said this to us, even Sun Liansheng raised his head and looked at Qin Yue.

Are we deliberately placed here? What does that mean?

"The smell, when I entered this earthen house, the first thing that attracted me was the smell of this earthen house. ”

Weng Ping replaced Qin Yue with his trademark hoarse voice and said to us.

"This smell is a kind of smell produced by bacterium, and this smell is called mold in academics. ”

"When I got the smell of mold, I was like, where the hell is this smell of mold coming from?"

After Weng Ping finished saying this to us, he looked at me.

looked at me and said to me word by word: "It was Zhang Bing who solved the doubts in my heart." ”

Weng Ping's voice came to an end for the time being, but except for Qin Yue, Gu Yicheng and the others all looked at me with a strange look.

"Indeed, if Zhang Bing hadn't discovered the secret in this earthen house, I think we would have missed this important clue. ”

Although Qin Yue didn't look at me, her words were said to me.

"Mold, we and the animals may not be able to adapt to this mold environment, but this mold is one of the most important nutrients for insects that live underground. ”

"After Zhang Bing discovered the secret in this earthen house, I can tell you now that not only this earthen house, but also the other three earthen houses. ”

"These four earthen houses are underground insect farms. And the mountain people in Wengtou Village are the breeders of these underground insects. ”

Weng Ping's voice fell, but I was dumbfounded.

"Insect farming, miss, do you mean—"

Under my stunned eyes, Uncle Cheng also stood up and asked Qin Yue in an incredulous tone.

"Well, King of Dian, it is very likely that the mountain people of Wengtou Village are the descendants of the Dian Dynasty. They inherited the habit of raising insects in the Dian Kingdom, and it has been passed down to this day. ”

Qin Yue's voice fell softly, and after Qin Yue said this to us gently, all of us except Weng Ping stood up from the ground with a pout.

Raise insects!

Why didn't I think of it at the time? I still found this bug, and I didn't even rely on these bugs that I dug out of the ground to rely on the habit of the King of Dian to do!

Now after Qin Yue and Weng Ping said this, this-this seems to be the case.

A self-enclosed mountain village, unwilling to move away from the mountains and in no contact with the outside world—

It turns out that the reason for not wanting to go out of the mountains turned out to be like this?

Shocked, at this moment I was shocked or shocked!

"The recess of these four earthen houses should be the source of mold. They use an ancient, tedious but particularly effective method to breed the insects that live underground. ”

Weng Ping continued to speak to us in his hoarse voice.

"It's just that I don't understand one thing, why do they breed these insects, these insects don't have much value in traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Hearing Weng Ping's words, my heart suddenly moved slightly.

"Raise Gu! They raised these bugs to feed the Gu worms in those Gu jars. ”

I almost blurted out this sentence.

And after I shouted this sentence, everyone also looked at me, including Qin Yue and Weng Ping.

Under Qin Yue's gaze, I said excitedly again: "Those murderous Gu worms, don't they eat? ”

I said it crudely, but it made sense.

"I know you're not simple. ”

After I excitedly shouted this sentence to Qin Yue and the others, a voice that did not belong to the nine of us suddenly sounded in this earthen house.

The moment we heard the voice, which did not belong to the nine of us, we looked together in the direction where the sound was coming from.

Window!

The heavy rain outside the window was pouring into the window, and on the window of this rain I saw a person, a man wearing a hat and a robe.

As we looked at the man standing under the window, the man standing under the window also raised the hat on his head.

The moment I lifted the hat, I saw a familiar face.

Chief!

The man in a cloak standing under the window of the rain is the village chief of Wengtou Village.

After seeing this village chief, I almost subconsciously looked behind the village chief.

There was no one behind the village chief, only a thick white mist behind him.

The door of the earthen house was not closed, and the village chief also walked in in a grand manner.

"The first time I saw you in the village, I knew that the secrets of our village could not be hidden. ”

The village chief, dressed in a cloak, went straight to the point and spoke to us as soon as he entered the earthen house.

"But you brought us here anyway. ”

Qin Yue replied lightly to the village chief in her trademark tone that did not distinguish between yin and yang.

"That's right! I did it on purpose, and after I found out how my three sons died, I hated those things. ”

"I know that you have the ability, and I also know that you were not invited by him to make trouble in my village, it is Xu Qiang, is Xu Qiang's baby also dead?"

Xu Qiang!

This village chief also mentioned Xu Qiang's name!

However, how did this old man know that we had come here following Xu Qiang's clues?

But after the old man asked us about this, he had no intention of explaining it to us, and he did not mean to explain it to us, as if he had no intention of speaking again.

The rain on the roof of the house was rustling, but the mud house was suddenly quiet.

The sound of wind and rain mingled with the sound of windows and doors being fanned.

The atmosphere created by these sounds is the same as the mood I am in at the moment.
