Ending the conversation with the Hu brothers, the sky slowly darkened. Birds fly into the forest in the mountains, and the sound is loud, giving people a very distant and peaceful feeling. Xiama Village is only a dozen miles away from Jinhua Village, and it takes at least half a day to go down, and it is not safe to walk on the mountain road at night, so Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu's plan to return to Jinhua Village that day had to be in vain.

"Ling Xiao, the signal of the temporary signal station in the mountain temple can't cover here, the mobile phone has no signal, and we can't contact Mayor Nie and them, I'm afraid the situation we learned today can't be transmitted to the headquarters." After walking around the village with her mobile phone and not finding a signal, Tang Meiyu was a little discouraged.

"I'm not in a hurry for this night, the most important thing now is to find a place to stay. Also, I'm a little hungry, Sister Tang, what about you? Ling Xiao looked at Tang Meiyu, he liked her delicate and quiet appearance, as well as the very special aura on her body, like a snow-capped mountain under the canopy, pure, spotless, and so beautiful that people were intoxicated.

"I also feel a little hungry, but the villagers are gone, and we are not familiar with the people in Xiama Village, whose house to spend the night and whose house to eat?" Tang Meiyu didn't mind Ling Xiao's gaze at all, with a smile and a generous look.

"Why don't we spend the night in the woods?" Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Build a bonfire, eat some of the dry food we brought, and then sleep in the open air?" As long as you're not afraid of being taken away by wolves in the middle of the night. ”

Tang Meiyu also laughed and said playfully: "Even if there is a wolf, you will protect me, right?" ”

Her smile is quiet and gentle, it looks so pleasing to the eye and feels so comfortable.

"Do you really want to sleep in the open?" Ling Xiao wanted to think about it very much, but he was worried that Tang Meiyu wouldn't be able to stand that kind of suffering.

"You have an idea." Tang Meiyu said: "Are you worried that I won't be able to endure that kind of suffering? Then you're wrong, I'm a veteran traveler with a lot of experience in the outdoors. ”

Ling Xiao's smile is yes, Tang Meiyu looks weak and delicate, but she is a senior traveler, which traveler has never experienced such a thing as sleeping in the open?

But just when he was thinking about where to light a bonfire and spend a romantic outdoor night with Tang Meiyu, Lu Dayou walked in from outside the gate of the village again, and said from afar: "Doctor Ling, Miss Tang, fortunately you are still here, I went home to prepare the guest room and dinner for you just now, I forgot to greet you, if you leave, my face will be lost to my grandmother's house." ”

The people in the mountains are very hospitable.

"It seems that our plan will not be realized." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Tang Meiyu also grinned, "Next time, there is a chance, next time we will conquer the mountains together." ”

Lu Dayou walked over and said curiously, "Do you have any other plans?" ”

"Uh, no, let's go, Village Chief Lu, let's go to your house." Ling Xiao said.

Tang Meiyu nodded slightly, "Village Chief Lu, then bother, Xie Lu Xie." ”

"Ouch, what are you still polite to me, you are all our benefactors of Hongxiagou, compared to what you did for us, what is I doing this little thing? It's all as it should be, so don't be polite, or I'll be embarrassed. Lu Dayou said.

After walking a mountain road, Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu followed Lu Dayou to his home. Lu Dayou's home is also a very common wood-framed blue-tile house in the mountains, and the biggest feature of this kind of house is that the walls and column heads are made of wood, and there are no bricks or concrete.

Lu Dayou's wife prepared several dishes, such as mountain bacon, grouper and two kinds of fresh vegetables. It's simple, but it's delicious. Ling Xiao also drank a few glasses of wine with Lu Dayou and chatted about the situation in Xiama Village.

After dinner, Tang Meiyu returned to her guest room to rest, and Ling Xiao also returned to his guest room to rest. The two rooms are adjacent, separated only by a wooden wall. Tang Meiyu moved a little louder in the room, and Ling Xiao could hear it. Ling Xiao moved a little louder in the room, and Tang Meiyu could hear it clearly.

Lu Dayou is also really hearted, the sheets and bedding are brand new and have not been used. Ling Xiao was lying on the bed, not feeling uncomfortable at all.

Ling Xiao took out the notes he had taken and looked through them. After reading the situation of the Hu family brothers recorded in the afternoon, he recalled the description of the Hu family brothers in his mind, and the feeling of what inspiration he had captured suddenly appeared in his heart, and he said secretly: "By the way, the Chen family in Xiama Village died eight times in one night, and their family is also a traditional hunter, is this just a coincidence?" Or is there something else I don't know about? ”

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao excitedly turned the notepad to the pages that recorded the situation of the Chen family and looked at it from the beginning.

After looking at it, he found that three of the eight deceased members of the Chen family were in the same situation as the Hu brothers. also entered the Daxue Mountain, hunted and dug Cordyceps, and returned home for more than 20 days, but within a few days of returning, eight people in the Chen family were infected with the ghost burning virus.

"From this point of view, it's no wonder that I can't find the source of the ghost burning virus, because it's not in Hongxiagou at all, but the hunters of Hongxiagou were infected from the snowy mountains or grasslands, and then infected other villagers!" Ling Xiao was so excited that she couldn't sit still.

This is just a hypothesis, but Ling Xiao's hunch is very strong - the probability of this possibility is extremely high!

"Sister Tang, have you slept?" Ling Xiao couldn't wait to tell Tang Meiyu about his findings and thoughts.

"Not yet, I can't sleep." Tang Meiyu's voice came from next door.

Ling Xiao then told him what he had found and what he thought, and then said, "I have a plan, are you interested?" ”

"Say, I'll listen." Tang Meiyu was also excited.

"Tomorrow we won't go back to Jinhua Village, let's go to the Snow Mountain, go to the grassland to see, I suspect that the source of the virus is in the snow mountain or grassland." Ling Xiao said.

"Okay! Let's follow the route taken by the Hu brothers and go through it again, maybe we can solve the problem completely! Tang Meiyu was even more excited.

"Well, then it's decided, go to bed early, take care of your spirits, and we'll go to conquer the Great Snow Mountain tomorrow."

"Hmm." Tang Meiyu responded, and after half a sound, she said again, "Oops, I'm a little excited, I can't sleep." ”

Ling Xiao, "......"

He also realized that Tang Meiyu's voice was actually behind the wooden wall, very close to him, if there was no wooden wall to separate him, he could roll from his bed to Tang Meiyu's bed with a single turn. This discovery left him speechless, and the two beds in the two rooms were placed under the wooden wall in the middle, so far away, how could one not think about it?

Ling Xiao rolled over and lay on his side, his gaze falling on the wooden wall next to the bed.

The plank walls are at least a few decades old, and there are gaps between the planks. In some places, there are also insect eyes. What is Tang Meiyu doing now? Sleep on your back or on your side, or curl up? Is she wearing underwear? Does she have a quilt? For a moment, the cracks in the walls and insect eyes filled Ling Xiao's mind with these fantasies.

However, he finally dispelled the idea of voyeurism, pulled the wire switch of the incandescent lamp, turned off the light and went to sleep.

The lights went out, but the light from the next room was shining through the cracks in the walls and through the eyes of the worms. These lights are all temptation and imagination.

Tossing and turning, it was difficult to calm down, Ling Xiao sat up from the bed again, meditated cross-legged, and used the way on the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic" to run his internal force. Since he can't sleep, and he doesn't want to do such a tasteless thing as voyeurism, he doesn't want to waste time to practice his internal strength, which is just right. Internal force cultivation, this period of time, he has been abandoned.

Ling Xiao soon entered the realm of emptiness and clarity as described in the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", holding Yuan Shouyi, sinking the dantian, breathing, breathing, refining qi with qi.

"Breath-in-haul-exhale-inhale!" Ling Xiao was immersed in the realm of internal force cultivation and forgot about the things around him. At this moment, he no longer cares about the ghost burning virus, nor does he care about tomorrow's trip to the snow mountain, even Tang Meiyu on the other side of the wall, whether she wears underwear, whether she covers the quilt and other tempting things.

Before he knew it, a crack in the wooden wall suddenly dimmed, and behind the gap crept closer to a large, round eye.

Ling Xiao could restrain herself from peeping at Tang Meiyu, but Tang Meiyu couldn't suppress her curiosity, and was attracted by the unique spitting sound made by Ling Xiao, and couldn't help but use the gap between the wooden boards to peek at what Ling Xiao was doing.

Some of the light that shone through the cracks in the wooden planks and between the worm's eyes shone on Ling Xiao's body, making his room not dark. Tang Meiyu looked at him quietly, because of the relationship between long-term martial arts practice and internal strength, his body has a beauty that ordinary people can't match, as well as strength and wildness, which makes her feel very comfortable.

She was also quietly wondering in her heart, "What is he doing here?" Oh, by the way, he's practicing, right? Mostly yes, well, it must be. That day in the bamboo forest, he showed his hand and almost hurt me. However, playing cross-legged and breathing, these are all plots that only exist in those martial arts TV series, how can they exist in the real world? And he looks so professional, so powerful......"

It seems, that's the case. When I think about it, I don't think so. Tang Meiyu's heart was extremely conflicted, several times she couldn't help but want to interrupt Ling Xiao and ask what he was doing, but every time the words came to her mouth, she swallowed carefully.

A big writer with hundreds of thousands of fans peeks into a teenager's body at night, if this kind of thing spreads, she may have to find a crack in the ground to hide.

"Someday, I'm going to solve the mystery of him, and I will." Tang Meiyu secretly made a decision in her heart.

One watched quietly.

One practiced quietly.

Outside, snow-capped mountains stand under the blue night sky, the full moon is cold and snow-capped.

After about half an hour, Ling Xiao let out a long breath and ended his practice. His spirit was refreshed, and there was no tiredness in his body, let alone sleepiness.

He sat still for a while, as if thinking about something, hesitating something.

"What is he doing? It's weird, is this also a kind of kung fu? Tang Meiyu thought curiously.

Suddenly, as if he had figured out something, Ling Xiao's head leaned towards the wooden wall.

"Ahh Did he find out? Tang Meiyu was taken aback, and hurriedly shrank her head, but she shrank back a little, she seemed to remember something again, and then put her eyes on the gap to look at Ling Xiao, but saw that Ling Xiao had already lay down on her side, very quiet.

Just now, she thought that Ling Xiao was going to come to spy on her, but this was not the case, Ling Xiao just lay down and slew.

"Lord, forgive me for my mistakes...... the ashamed authoress knelt on her bed, drew a cross in her hand, and reverently repented of the mistake she had just made.
