The villa area is shrouded in unprecedented sorrow.

Yinzhen and the others returned home the next evening and told the ninth elder brother the details. Everyone was in great shock and at the same time feeling great sadness.

Although Andre has not been with them for a few months, although this guy is usually weak and useless, and he is a foreigner who is "not of my race", but in his true heart, everyone has long regarded him as a brother.

Yinzhen said that he buried Andre's body on the spot because it was difficult to carry it back.

Among them, the details of the zombie Andre he killed with his own hands, Yin Zhen didn't say, and those few didn't ask, although everyone knew about it.

For several days, everyone's mood was very bad. Julia's eyes were always red, and when Brother Ten was eating, he remembered that Andre was supposed to be sitting next to him, but now that the seat was vacant, he couldn't eat......

Andrei's unexpected death gave their group a huge psychological shock. The temporary peace and harmony made them can't help but have a delusion, and they think that they can really live here without worry.

The death of his companion is like a malicious alarm bell from the god of fate, reminding them that you are in danger at any time.

According to Andre's instructions, Yin Zhen took the backpack of materials to his room, and then, he began to look at these materials day and night. As Andre said, it was all about his analysis and evaluation, both in Chinese and English, and he couldn't understand English, so he asked Julia to help him translate. Yinzhen flipped through these neatly printed documents and couldn't help but be shocked. Thinking of this once living friend, who had spent thirteen years combing through his future in such detail, Yinzhen felt that the paradoxical nature of the world and the impermanence of fate made him indescribable.

He and Julia talked about leaving, but Julia advised him to be patient for a while.

Yin Zhen understood that Julia had a point, although the population was only reduced by one, it was for their small group. Andrei's death was already a heavy blow.

If this is the time when he asks to leave. It is tantamount to sprinkling salt on everyone's wounds, and the hearts of the people in the villa area will be scattered.

Wait a little longer, Yin Zhen thought, and wait until everyone gets used to it.

For a few weeks. The atmosphere in the villa area is all dreary. Julia gradually recovered from her grief. She felt that this was not going to work, despair and pain were draining the inner strength of the small group, and she could not watch everyone fall into disarray.

So one day for dinner. She pulled out a bottle of vodka.

"It's not good for everyone to drink a bar, it's always so depressing. Relax a little bit, and we'll have to keep looking! ”

Julia placed several cups in front of them and poured each of them some more vodka mixed with water.

The thirteenth elder brother was the first to pick up the cup: "Brothers, drink!" When you're drunk, you're happy! ”

A few glasses of wine, even though it was a foreign wine they were not used to, the alcohol worked together, and the atmosphere on the table began to change. Among them, only Yinzhen refused to drink more, he only drank a small half cup and put it down.

"Why doesn't the fourth brother drink it?" Brother Ten grabbed the bottle, "Come on!" Full on full! ”

Yin Zhen blocked it with his hand: "What's full?" It's a strong liquor, and I'm not used to it. ”

The tenth elder brother scoffed: "The fourth brother is hypocritical, and he will hold your shelf at all times!" ”

This is really not what the usual ten elder brothers say, it seems that he is already drunk. Yinzhen's face sank, but he didn't say anything.

Julia couldn't look past it, she stopped the tenth elder brother and said, "This is really a strong wine, not much worse than pure alcohol." Ten elder brother, don't feed your fourth brother. ”

The ninth elder brother next to him snorted: "Old ten, you are also salty and don't worry about radish." The fourth brother can't drink it, so isn't there a thirteen? No matter how bad it is, isn't there still Julia, the 'female thirteen'? ”

Julia was a little embarrassed by what he said: "Ninth Master, what are you talking about?" I'm not like Thirteen. ”

"What's different?" Brother Nine smiled, "I see that you are the same as Thirteen, and you protect my fourth brother in everything." ”

Yinxiang was a little displeased on the side: "Ninth brother, you are not right to say this, where is Julia protecting the fourth brother?" Didn't she protect you and my tenth brother? It's not fair for you to talk like that. ”

Brother Nine nodded: "She protects me and Lao Shi, and also protects the fourth brother." But in the end, she still protects my fourth brother the most. ”

Julia heard that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly smiled reluctantly: "What did the Ninth Master say?" How could I do that? ”

"Huh? Am I not right? Ninth Elder Brother said deliberately, "Besides, you protect my fourth brother, this is not an unsightly thing." ”

Yin Zhen said lightly on the side: "Lao Jiu, you can say whatever you want to say, what are you doing with Julia like this?" ”

Brother Jiu looked at Yinzhen, he nodded, and put down the wine glass: "That's okay, since the fourth brother said so, then I won't go around the corner." Fourth brother, what is written in Andrei's big bag of relics? ”

Julia's heart jumped!

Sure enough, this is it!

After coming back, Yinzhen went to Andre's room to get his bag, and he told the Ten Elder Brothers that before Andre died, he ordered him to give him this bag, and no one else could touch it.

Yinzhen's statement obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the ninth elder brother: they are also partners, why did Andre only give things to the fourth brother?

Is there anything in it that they can't see?

Julia had also told Brother Nine before, and Andre's last words were like this, and she heard them, and she could testify.

But now it seems that Brother Jiu suspects that she is biased against Yinzhen.

Since Brother Jiu is suspicious, I am afraid that he will have doubts about the time before and after Andre's death.

If this continues, won't the group of people in the villa area have to return to the earlier hostile state? Julia couldn't help but feel anxious when she thought of this.

Who knew that she had just wanted to explain, but Yinzhen interrupted her.

"You want to see those things?"

"Of course I want to." Brother Jiu's voice was bitter and ugly, "He is a sinologist who studies Qing history, since it is the research materials he left behind, there must be a lot of things about me and Starling." How? Fourth brother. Are you worried about our brothers, what should you not see? ”

The implication of Brother Jiu's words, did Andre find evidence of Yinzhen's usurpation of the throne and murder of his relatives in the remaining documents? Did he find out in the archaeology of later generations that the fourth elder brother was really not qualified to inherit the throne?

Hearing such a blatant provocation, Yinzhen's face was indifferent and unmoved.

He nodded: "Well, since you want to know so much, the thing is upstairs, you can go and see." ”

Unexpectedly, Yinzhen did not refuse. This makes everyone else. All taken aback!

Brother Jiu was completely unprepared for this kind of reaction, and after a long time, he stood up and walked upstairs.

Brother Ten looked at the rest of the people on the table a little frightened, and then. He got up and followed.

Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen uneasily: "Fourth brother......"

"Let them see. Looked. I just gave up. Yin Zhen finished coldly, picked up the wine glass, and took the big glass of spirits. A stream of brains poured into the mouth.

Brother Jiu took the bag of materials back to the mint house that night, and the next day, they didn't come over for breakfast. Julia waited until noon, and there was no movement.

She had no choice but to divide a part of the food and keep it, and if the ninth and tenth elder brothers didn't come again, she would send it over in the evening.

At the dinner table of the three people, Yinxiang was a little worried, he said, is Brother Jiu angry? Wasn't it a big hit? Otherwise, why don't you even come over for dinner?

Yin Zhen silently gnawed on the rye nest in his hand, and then he said lightly: "I have warned him, it is no good to look at those things, and he will not listen." This is called self-inflicted. ”

Julia couldn't help but say, "You, don't say so ugly, no one wants to be kept in the dark." ”

Yin Zhen's eyes rolled up, and he snorted: "It's also a kind of happiness to be in the dark." ”

Yinxiang said: "Ninth brother, if they get angry, will they take their burdens and leave?" ”

Yin Zhen stopped the half-gnawed nest head, and he whispered, "It's me who plans to leave." ”

Yinxiang was shocked!

"Where is the fourth brother going? Why do you want to leave? ”

"Now that everything is spread out, Lao Jiu and I can't get along anymore." Yin Zhen said, "Before Andre's accident, I had already planned for me and Julia to leave here. The fields in the villa area are left to you and Lao Jiu them. ”

Yinxiang angrily threw the spoon on the table: "I won't do it!" The fourth brother wants to leave, so I'll go with it! ”

Yin Zhen frowned: "I went out to open up the wasteland, not to enjoy happiness, what are you doing with me?" Thirteen, you will stay here, Lao Jiu and they are too few people to be busy farming. ”

"I'm not staying here!" Yinxiang also came stubbornly, "I want to follow the fourth brother, and I will go wherever the fourth brother goes!" ”

Seeing this, Julia hurriedly comforted: "It's too early to say this, I don't know what the plan is for Brother Jiu, I'll go over and ask in the evening." ”

At dusk, Julia couldn't sit still, so she packed up two boxed lunches and went to the mint house with two bottles of water.

Entering the living room, Julia opened the door with the key, and saw Brother Ten lying on the sofa in the living room, she walked over and looked down, the guy was sleeping soundly, and he smashed his mouth and said in his sleep: "...... So fat! This duck leg belongs to me! ”

Julia couldn't help laughing, she patted Brother Ten on the shoulder: "Get up, the food is here." ”

Brother Ten sat up in a daze and rubbed his eyes: "Huh? Julia, why are you here? ”

"You brothers haven't been out for a day, and there is nothing to eat in this house, if I don't come back, you can really only eat duck legs in your dreams."

As she spoke, she took out the lunch box in her pocket, and Brother Shi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly grabbed a box: "Ouch, my aunt, I can be regarded as having something to eat!" Starve me to death! ”

Julia smiled, "Why can't you come if you want to eat?" I've been waiting for you all day. ”

The tenth elder brother complained while gnawing on the nest head: "Brother Jiu, he doesn't care about me!" He sat alone in the study, reading those materials, from yesterday to now, no matter how I called him, he ignored me! He ignored me, and I couldn't leave him alone and run over to eat......"

"Your ninth brother is still upstairs now?"

Brother Ten chewed on the food, pointed to the ceiling, and said in a vague voice: "You wait a while, he is in a bad mood." ”

Julia understood, and she carried another box of lunches upstairs. (To be continued......)
