Li Yiting didn't believe in this legend, but he also grew up listening to this legend, and when he retold this legend to the people in Beiting, everyone laughed in unison.

Liu Zichen also covered his mouth slightly, but Shen Mingyue laughed so insolently that it could be heard inside and outside the house.

Li Yiting coughed a few times in embarrassment, glared at Shen Mingyue to express his dissatisfaction, Shen Mingyue didn't notice it at all, and continued to be silly.

"Le Guile, I can warn you, my dad is back, you have to be serious......" Li Yiting said helplessly, along the way, how many legends and rumors Beiting has exposed, he naturally will not believe it easily, but when he returns to his hometown, everyone will unconsciously make some common-sense mistakes and don't know it.

Before the words fell, Yiting's mother happened to walk in and said with a slight smile: "What are you children happy about?"

No one spoke, and Shen Mingyue was also holding back.

Li Yiting sneered: "Talk casually, they don't understand our rules." ”

The mother looked at them lovingly, and said, "Don't fool me, I hear them all...... What you are saying is indeed boundless, and it is all a lie to children. ”

Liu Zichen said on the side: "Auntie, don't worry." We just listen, and we certainly don't believe it. ”

"It's good if you don't believe it......" The mother nodded, and did not speak again, taking care of some important household chores by herself.

Mother had just returned from the third uncle's house, and she went to help with the food of Bai Shi, and now she is back to take care of the meals for this group of guests. She suddenly remembered something: "Ting, your father can't pull away, you have to take care of ...... here"

Li Yiting replied: "The third uncle is busy over there, I want to help him, but my father won't let me." ”

But her mother expressed her support: "Listen to your father, it's almost the New Year, and you still have guests here...... I really want to go, and I will see off your third uncle on the day I go out of the mountain. ”

She seemed to sigh softly, and her voice was almost inaudible: "People, they always get old." ”

After coming for so long, it was the first time that a few people in Beiting heard Yiting's mother sigh, and several of them had a sour nose for no reason.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are not common things in poor rural areas.

Li Yiting took out a cigarette and lit it, smoked it silently, and said for a long time: "Mom, is Futang back?" Of course, Futang is the adopted son of the third uncle.

Mother hummed, her hands didn't stop, Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue got up to help them when they saw this, and their mother nodded and smiled at them.

"Over the years, Futang has been quite good outside...... I heard that I also bought a house and a car, and my children are seven or eight years old. The mother's tone was calm, and she didn't hear any special emotion.

Li Yiting wanted to speak and stopped, since Futang mixed so well, why didn't he ignore his father, but looking back and thinking about himself, it didn't seem to be much better, so he didn't say anything.

Chen Tianyu glanced at him, and probably understood Yiting's concerns, but his heart moved, and he glanced at Yiting, and the two got up and walked out of the kitchen and came to the door of the living room.

Leave Wan Yongkun to hand firewood, burn the fire, and do not express any opinions. When there are no tasks, they are more like ordinary people than ordinary people.

Before Chen Tianyu could speak, Li Yiting took the lead in asking, "Fourth brother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Chen Tianyu nodded: "Actually, it's nothing, but I feel that after you came back this time, your state is a little wrong." ”

"Ah?...... So, is this the reason why you stopped me from continuing the investigation yesterday?" Li Yiting was surprised.

Chen Tianyu shook his head and sighed: "I stopped you because the scene had not only been cleaned up at that time, but also been damaged twice, so there was no need to work hard......

Li Yiting was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Really?"

"I'm not sure if it's true, but I'm worried that you don't see the flaw. Chen Tianyu pointed out.

He continued: "I always felt that the room was too clean, not like a place where people usually lived. ”

Li Yiting subconsciously pinched his chin, and said for a long time: "Perhaps, there is only this condition in the temple......"

Chen Tianyu was noncommittal, and chuckled when he heard this: "You're right, I really haven't entered the temple room, so it's just a simple perception." ”

Li Yiting said calmly: "If I remember correctly, your intuition has always been quite accurate, I believe this time ......"

Chen Tianyu shook his head unexpectedly: "I'm not familiar with your situation here, and my intuition may be an illusion, or inertial thinking." ”

Li Yiting nodded, didn't speak again, he was obviously in an unconscious memory, for a long time, he spoke: "More than thirty years ago, the third uncle became a temple blessing, when I was not very old, I once went to his wing, although I don't remember clearly, but the impression is indeed very simple, almost empty......"

Chen Tianyu bowed his head knowingly: "I hope so." Let's not guess, it's taboo to speculate, we can ask privately if we have the chance. ”

Li Yiting nodded: "I will pay attention to your reminder." ”

Chen Tianyu sighed inexplicably and said, "We all have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Li Yiting smiled slightly: "Eating this bowl of rice, if even we don't doubt it, who will pay attention?"

"Maybe that's the reason. Chen Tianyu suddenly remembered something, "Does cinnabar poisoning cause the body to be red?"

"The main ingredient of cinnabar is mercury sulfide, mixed with some trace amounts of other heavy metals, overdose poisoning is certain, but the body color is red......" Li Yiting was not sure.

Chen Tianyu didn't go into further detail: "Let's wait until I ask Jing Nan." ”

Li Yiting couldn't help but say again: "If there is really a murderer, what is the motive?" He asked the core question.

Chen Tianyu said: "That's right, I let you wait and see what happens, it's better if there is no real murderer, if there is, we can't expose our identity too early, otherwise the murderer just needs to wait for us to leave, and then carry out the action, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

After all, Beiting is just a temporary passer-by in Luoshui Village, and no matter how high his skills are, he may not be able to reach them.

"I see what you mean," Li Yiting continued...... "I hope it was just an accident." ”

The two didn't say anything more, and after smoking a cigarette, it was time to eat.
