The moon was in the sky, the stars were shining, the small flowers on the side of the road were shaking their branches under the blowing of the evening breeze, Xu Minghao was walking on the road with the drunk Xu Bingqing on his back, Bai Yi followed far behind them, although she was quite sleepy now, but her willpower supported her to move forward. "Bingqing!" Xu Minghao shouted softly to Xu Bingqing, who was already unconscious on his back, without a single response. His frown finally relaxed, and she finally quieted down. Thinking of her drunken appearance just now, he still hasn't eased up. Seeing that the car was in front, he opened the car door, carefully put Xu Bingqing in the back seat, and then leaned against the car door and smoked.

"Come!" Although Bai Yi is a woman, but because of the particularity of her work, she does not resist smoking, smoking can make her regain her spirits, after a few puffs, she looked at the smoke that slowly dissipated and suddenly said: "Xu Suogang told me that the suspect caught in the hotel today has been sent to Jiangnan at the request of Luo Xinghe." ”

"Yes. Xu Minghao was not interested in these things now, he answered lightly, and then looked up at the starry sky.

Bai Yi read some loneliness from his expression, and then some melancholy, which is rare in ordinary times. Xu Minghao could feel her gaze, and then said to himself: "I'm a person, I've been afraid of heaven and earth since I was a child, and I'm used to messing around." But a lot of things have happened this year that have made my life different. Today my life changed again, and I was reminded of some not-so-good old days in the freezer. Looks like I'm destined to be involved in this strife. ”

Bai Yi lowered her head a little ashamedly, she looked at Xu Bingqing, who was sleeping soundly, and said uncomfortably: "Today... Didn't you put me on ... She won't be like that?"

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Xu Minghao was choked by her straightforward words, and he coughed several times in a row: "Don't... Ahem... Don't say that, maybe it's just fate. ”

"Hey... It's all my fault!" Bai Yi knocked his head reproachfully: "I should have discovered that this was a conspiracy a long time ago." ”

Xu Minghao smiled bitterly, and then grabbed her hand with his hand: "Don't blame yourself, if you want to take revenge, it's true to catch the prisoner well." Well, Bingqing and I will stay here for another night today, and tomorrow we will get up and go back to Jiangnan. Officer Bai, take care. ”

Bai Yi was grabbed by his hand, the warm touch seemed to touch the softest piece of her heart, she immediately pulled her hand out of his big palm, and then ran away without looking back. Xu Minghao looked at her back as she walked farther and farther away, and couldn't help but smile: "I still know how to be shy." ”

"You don't know shame. Xu Bingqing, who had been sleeping soundly in the car, suddenly sat up from his seat, the flush on his cheeks was still hanging on his face, this intoxicating appearance was really difficult to divert his eyes. Xu Minghao now has Tianzi's skills, and of course her subtle actions can't escape his eyes: "Why did you keep pretending to be asleep when you woke up early." “

"I love the feeling of being carried by you. Since Xu Bingqing lost his skills, even his smile has become more, I don't know if he fell into evil or which tendon is wrong.

"Bingqing, let's go back early tomorrow morning. Xu Minghao looked up at the sky and said, "After we go back, let's retreat, and I will pass the skill back to you." ”

"You thought of it. When Xu Bingqing heard this, he immediately couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, you think this is a gift to give out, and you can return it again." ”

Xu Minghao's expression darkened, and he asked with some puzzlement: "I don't understand, why are you doing this." ”

"There are many things in this world that you can't figure out, and you don't want to be tired to death if you figure it out one by one. Xu Bingqing lay back in the car, looking at the black flannel on the roof of the car, she said in an extremely subtle voice: "If you don't do this, you will die a long time ago." Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Xu Minghao, who is now deaf and clear-sighted, still heard it clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then pinched Xu Bingqing's calf exposed outside the car with his hand: "Don't wear such a short skirt next time." As soon as Xu Bingqing heard this, he immediately sat up from his seat, looked at Xu Minghao with a little excitement, and then didn't speak for a long time. This night, the two snuggled together like this and fell asleep slowly in the midst of chatting.

The next day, Xu Minghao was woken up by his mobile phone, and when he got up to rummage through his mobile phone, he suddenly found that he was the only one left in the car, and Xu Bingqing had disappeared. He got up from the car in a bit of a panic, and then shouted Xu Bingqing's name on the side of the road, and the people around him all cast strange glances at him. At this time, the mobile phone ringtone was still endless, he returned to the car, picked up the phone, and saw that it was Bai Yi calling, he immediately answered: "Hey, Bai Yi!"

"Xuanshui! Xu Bingqing... Bai Yi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made Xu Minghao's anger even bigger, and he almost roared at the phone: "What about her?"

"She... Bai Yi looked at the white paper in her hand, and finally decided to read it out, which was the letter sent to her by Xu Bingqing that she had transcribed: "Dear Xu Minghao, I'm leaving." The letter was written on the dear brother Minghao, but Bai Yi felt that it was too numb, so she changed it directly, she coughed and then read: "Our encounter and getting along are dramatic, to be honest, I shouldn't have broken into your life and put you in danger." You don't have to look for me, I'll go to a place I haven't been to and start over. As for our agreement, hehe, for me now, these are all teenagers' hesitations. Ahem... Bai Yi really can't read anymore, why is this Xu Bingqing so distressing.

Xu Minghao listened to her words carefully, and when he saw that she suddenly stopped, he asked very calmly, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes. Bai Yi wiped the tears that flowed involuntarily, and then read: "Don't think about our agreement anymore, don't seek revenge, of course, I also hope that the tyrant and those criminals can be punished as soon as possible." Last but not least, I hope you will always be healthy in the future, don't live with guilt, you don't owe me anything, really. I... It's already content. In this life, I wish there would be no traces, and the starlight will lead the moon to miss the heart. Precious!"

Xu Minghao's chest seemed to have been hit by a stone hammer, and it took a long time to calm down, and he shouted at Bai Yi: "Damn!

Bai Yi almost fell off the sofa: "Big brother, is the focus here now!

"No!" Xu Minghao said without willfulness or jokingly: "When I avenge her, I will go to her again!" His eyes were full of fierceness, and he looked like he was going to eat people.

"Wait a while, won't she let you seek revenge!" Bai Yi was taken aback: "Your head is funny!"

"You just care about yourself! Officer Bai!" Xu Minghao hung up the phone after speaking, he angrily ventilated in the car, and then got out of the car and began to look for a substitute driver.

Bai Yi was very unhappy when he hung up the phone, and said to Xu Bingqing beside him: "Look at this person!

Xu Bingqing also sighed and was silent for a while: "I'm going to disturb you today." It turned out that Xu Bingqing felt that she went back to Jiangnan with Xu Minghao like this yesterday, not only could not help him, but would become a burden to him, so she secretly ordered his sleeping hole when Xu Minghao was asleep last night. That was enough for him to sleep until dawn. Then she found Bai Yi, explained the situation to her, and prepared to take a break at her house.

"What's next for you?"

Xu Bingqing shook his head and said, "Let's recover our strength first, and I don't want to think about the others for the time being." ”

Xu Minghao made a phone call on the street for a long time, but no one was willing to come, after all, this was from Liyun to Jiangnan. It's not an easy job. This made him angry, so he was angry, and decided not to go back for the time being, he was still thinking about the strange sea festival in the ancestral tomb of Qiantang, if it was a live sacrifice of a baby, how cruel it was, and the nosy man would never allow such a violation of morality and human nature to happen. He called Xu Youhui and asked him to take a taxi to him.

After Xu Youhui arrived, he circled his car for a long time, and then said with a smirk: "Although I sat yesterday, it was urgent, and I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I have to take a good look today." ”

"Okay, Brother Xu, let's get down to business. Xu Minghao pulled him into the car and told him everything he had seen and learned in Zumu Village.

When Xu Youhui heard this, he gasped: "Is there such a thing in the world?" and then he said with a straight face: "What are you going to do." I fully cooperate with you. ”

"I'd like to investigate this thoroughly. If it's true, then it's really a common outrage. Xu Minghao clenched his fists and punched the seat, with such force that Xu Youhui was shaken up from the seat, and his head hit the roof directly. The sound of "bang" hurt so much that his tears flowed.

"I said dude. Can you lighten it, can you consider the feelings of ordinary people!" Xu Youhui rubbed his head and complained.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xu Minghao was so excited that he forgot to take proportion, and hurriedly rubbed his head for him with a smiling face. "It's just that I have one more concern. ”

"Say!"

"You still have to go to work, and you're not a detective, this... ”

"Hmph, I've already been given a few days off, just to take this time to check out this Zumu Village. What's wrong with not being a criminal policeman! This kind of thing is the responsibility of an ordinary person!" Xu Youhui also followed his example and punched him on the chair, Xu Minghao took the opportunity to jump up, and his head hit the roof of the car at the right time, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and decided to set off for Zumu Village immediately.

When approaching Zumu Village, Xu Minghao saw a stall selling flatbread on the road, he immediately asked Xu Youhui to stop, and then he ran out of the car to buy flatbread, buy it, and almost got close to the uncle: "Hey, uncle, I see that you are from Zumu Village." ”

The uncle's face immediately became very ugly, he looked around, and then made a shushing motion: "Young man, I'll give you another one of this cake, don't you tell others!" After speaking, he took a hot flatbread from the stove and stuffed it into Xu Minghao's hand in a plastic bag.

"I don't say it. It's just curiosity, there is no village in front of it, there is no store in the back, and there is a village next to Zumu Village. People passing by don't immediately know that you are from Zumu Village!"

"Hey. This!" The uncle obviously reacted, and he was so anxious that he immediately closed the stall and prepared to go back. But he was stopped by Xu Minghao: "Uncle, don't worry." Why hasn't this village been let out yet?"

"Hey, you don't know. The uncle seemed to be even more anxious when he spoke: "You can come out of the village, but you have to have a pass, hey." ”

"Pass?" Xu Minghao was even more confused about these messy rules in Zumu Village: "Why don't the villagers in this village have any freedom in life?"

"Young man. Don't talk nonsense!" The uncle looked around for a while, then leaned up to him and whispered, "Our village is not an ordinary village. After speaking, he smiled proudly, and then pushed his cake cart and disappeared from Xu Minghao's sight.

Xu Minghao looked at the big cake in his hand and suddenly lost his appetite. When he returned to the car, Xu Youhui couldn't wait to ask, "Did you collect any useful information?"

"He said that the village requires a pass to enter and exit, and that the village is not ordinary. Xu Minghao thought about these two sentences carefully, but what appeared in his mind was the uncle's last weird smile. He couldn't help but shudder, and the thought of entering the village suddenly became much less: "Why don't we go to the place where they sacrificed to the sea that day?"

"It's done!" Xu Youhui has never been to this village, but he has some impressions, but he doesn't have Xu Minghao's panicked feeling. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, and that's true. Not long after driving along the road in front of them, the two of them saw the wharf not far away, and at this time there were not many boats on the side of the wharf, and it seemed that the villagers had gone fishing. Xu Youhui got out of the car, nibbling on the flatbread that Xu Minghao bought, and wanted to find a boat to go to the front. But when he asked about the few boats left, none of them were willing to carry them, and no matter how much money he paid, the fishermen shook their heads and waved their hands.

Seeing this, Xu Minghao stepped forward and politely sent out a circle of cigarettes, and then said: "That's the case, I made an appointment with Zhang Gang to go to sea together, but I overslept, hehe, look, I'm a pig brain." However, if you don't take me there, you will be mainly blamed for the gang in a while, hehehe. After saying that, he took out some more money and shook it in front of everyone.

His coercion and temptation made someone recognize him immediately, mainly because his white hair was too eye-catching, and he happened to talk to Zhang Gang at the dock some time ago, and later went to his house. One of the fishermen, Xiao Kong, decided to take him, the biggest reason was the banknote in his hand, but he proposed that he could only carry him alone, Xu Youhui couldn't, after some discussion to no avail, Xu Minghao pulled Xu Youhui aside and took out the walkie-talkie left by Xu Bingqing: "You wear this, drive the car away, and we will keep in touch at any time." ”

Xu Youhui nodded, although he knew that Xu Minghao was a martial artist, but he had just experienced life and death yesterday, and he didn't have time or was embarrassed to ask him how he got out of the crisis. Unexpectedly, in just a moment, the two were going to separate again, could he not worry. However, he still obeyed Xu Minghao's decision, drove the car out of the village, and returned to the coastal road, until he was ten kilometers away from the village, he stopped, he took out his binoculars to observe the route of the boat.

Xu Minghao followed Xiao Kong to the boat, and he immediately stuffed the money into Xiao Kong's pocket, and Xiao Kong drove his small boat in the direction of Zhang Gang's big boat. Seeing that he was about to pass by the place where he was about to sacrifice to the sea, Xu Minghao suddenly pretended to be seasick and began to retch again and again, but Xiao Kong was anxious: "Don't spit on the boat for me." It's dirty. ”

"That... That... You stop. Let me take a break. Xu Minghao's head stretched directly out of the boat, his hands clutched the edge of the boat, and his whole back swayed up and down with the rocking of the boat, looking like seasickness. Xiao Kong couldn't distinguish the authenticity for a while, so he could only stop the boat, and then sit on the bow of the boat, looking at Zhang Gang's big boat in the distance, and looking back at Xu Minghao who was lying on his stomach. Although Xu Minghao said that he was lying there, he was not idle, he looked around at the surrounding situation, this position should not be far from the location of the last sea festival, because he remembered that when the sacrificial boat exploded, next to it was such a reef island, although there are many reef islands in this sea area, but this island in the shape of a fang is still very recognizable, he tried hard to look at this fang more, and then turned over suddenly, and scared the small hole that was looking at the scenery in the distance almost fell off the boat. Xu Minghao looked at his soulless appearance a little funny, and then asked, "Is there an old man in your village who sells flatbread?"

"The old man who sells flatbread?" Xiao Kong glanced at him, then shook his head: "No one in our village has ever made flatbread, we all make a living from fishing." ”

Xu Minghao sighed in his heart, shouldn't the ghost hit the wall in broad daylight, this uncle doesn't look like a ghost. At this time, the big ship in the distance suddenly let out a long roar, and Xu Minghao and Xiao Kong looked at it at the same time. Xiao Kong untied a horn from his waist, puffed up his mouth and blew, and the sound was like a spring thunder on the ground, piercing the sea. Xu Minghao admired him a little, such a small body could make such a loud sound. He turned over again, his head stretched out overboard again, and the sea water inadvertently hit his face, the salty taste reminded him of the days when he was adrift at sea, and even more recalled everything that happened with Xu Bingqing on that desert island. Just when he was slightly stunned, the huge ship that was far away just now arrived at their side in an instant, compared to this big ship, Xiao Kong's small fishing boat is simply a small thing.
