"After so many years, you are still the same, and you haven't changed at all," Xiao Xiao turned around, exhaled helplessly, looked at Qian Bin's face and said. "It's because you're always dead like this, so you often suffer losses, and after so many years, you still refuse to grow, it's really hopeless."

"I don't think it's a bad quality, so there's no need to change."

Xiao Xiao sighed, she knew that once Qian Bin put on such an expression and posture, it meant that he would not let go of himself easily, she looked at the white sky in the east, and could only sigh and say,

"Then I'll make a long story short, I don't know if I can satisfy your strange curiosity, but no matter how much I say, you have to promise me that you must go back and leave this village immediately after I have said this."

"You wanted to drive me away from the first time you saw me, and that's not the attitude of the hosts," Mr. Qian said. "Could it be that you have something good to hide from me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly, his stomach turned upside down, and he said with mixed feelings on his chest, "What can it be a good thing?" If there's really anything good, I'd love to leave you for a good chat, but it's a pity, forget it, don't mention it. ”

"Does that have anything to do with what you're going to tell me right now?" Qian Bin was keenly aware of this.

Xiao Xiao gritted his teeth and nodded.

Qian Bin smiled, he turned around and went to the depths of the jungle, Xiao Xiao saw him turn around and leave, he was stunned for a moment, I don't know what tricks he was going to play, this Qian Bin didn't take long to come back, holding a few strands of turf and wood in both hands in front of Xiao Xiao, a thick layer of cushions were piled up, and after paving it, he smiled at her and said, "You can sit"

Xiao Xiao shook her head helplessly, sat down, and was quite soft, she couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Old friends reminisce, pay attention to a long talk, candle night talk or heart-to-heart talk, what is the matter with standing here? Although the location here is not good, there is no good scenery, good wine and good food, but fortunately, there are bamboo forests, mountains and seas, if there is a little fog, the scenery is good, so let's sit here and take a good look at the scenery, chat and reminisce about the old is also very good. ”

Qian Bin also sat down, but Xiao Xiao's face became cloudy. She straightened her clothes, tucked up the hem of her skirt, crossed her legs, looked at the pale sky to the east, and said, "Fortunately, there is no fog, and if it does, it is pointless for us to talk more here." ”

"I see you keep mentioning this fog, and Blue Phoenix seems to have said the same thing, that is, let's get out of here before the fog rises."

"Lord Blue Phoenix said this, of course, for your own good." Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course, I did this for your own good, after all, this is not the place you should stay." ”

Qian Bin still didn't understand, and asked, "So I can't stay anywhere, you can, well, you have to explain it to me, otherwise I'm not the kind of person who goes with the flow, I'll leave quickly if people let me go, you also know my character, some people don't want me to stay, I just stay, some people may not want me to go, but I go fast." ”

"I'm not joking with you, and I'm not talking to you about being playful

Speech! Xiao Xiao was anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "This place is very evil, and ordinary people shouldn't stay here." Qian Bin, to be honest, I was really, really scared and surprised when I saw you, I didn't expect you to appear here, I really don't know, what is the reason for you, how did you come here by mistake? But all I can say is enough for the two of us to see each other, there is no need to say anything more, you get out of here while the fog is getting up and the sky is dawning, this is the best option, there is no second choice. ”

"You care so much about this fogging, that is, does it have something to do with that ritual?" Qian Bin squinted and asked.

This time, Xiao Xiao was taken aback, her eyes widened, and she looked at Qian Bin in front of her incredulously, as if she was looking at a monster, she contracted her throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her whole face was already green, and her expression was very complicated.

"You, you, you" her

said three words of you in a row, and the second half of the sentence took a long time to pick it up, "How do you know?" ”

Qian Bin smiled and said, "Don't you think it's still a secret?" ”

He glanced at the scene of lanterns and gongs and drums in the recess of the mountain in the distance, and said, "If it's either a ceremony or someone's wedding and funeral, which do you say is more similar?" ”

Xiao Xiao also shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "It seems that we are indeed relatively high-profile, but this can't be helped, there is only one ceremony a year, and this time is very special." ”

Qian Bin remembered what Blue Phoenix said, this year is a year of alternating between the old and the new, that is to say, it is equivalent to their inheritance ceremony.

It's just that he really can't figure it out, is it necessary for a small village to be so grand?

"But I think it's very strange, according to your hospitable customs, shouldn't you hold a ceremony to join in the fun, the more people the better, and it's a good thing to have us outsiders to witness to you??"

Xiao Xiao sighed, "If it is like this in the usual days, for example, if you come to our village in normal times, I will definitely entertain you warmly, but now it is different, the current situation is more special, and if you stay here, it will increase the trouble." ”

"Big sister, I'm not a little kid, I still need you to take care of me all day long, I'm self-sufficient, self-reliant, play my own, you do your rituals, I go to my street, the two of them are well water and don't interfere with river water, what's there to care about?"

Xiao Xiao listened, shook his head and said, "Don't think it's so simple, on the day of the ceremony, all the people in the village will gather together, and no one can be an exception, so you have nothing to visit."

"That's my business," Qian Bin of course didn't go shopping, and he wouldn't go shopping, but the clues were here, and others couldn't go, but this matter couldn't be said casually, after all, it was easy to startle the snake, although he believed 100% of the Xiao Xiao in front of him, but some things were more sensitive after all.

"I've never heard of a big man, or a man from the army, who likes to go shopping??" Xiao Xiao was a little stunned on his face, sighed and said, "Our village has lived in seclusion here for generations, few people go out, and few people come back when they go out. ”

"It's rare, but I think

It shouldn't be completely nothing," Qian Bin suddenly took over the conversation and said.

Xiao Xiao sighed, raised his head, looked at Qian Bin, didn't expect him to observe so meticulously, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"You see, there are wires in some parts of the village, alternating current in some places, and even some household equipment, of course I still don't have a signal here, but it doesn't seem to be a backward place."

"That's right," Xiao Xiao said, "In previous years, outsiders often came here to lay wires and repair roads, and even do some infrastructure construction here, saying that it was to strengthen internal and external connections, but ah, but in the end, it was all over, you see these wires like these, just signed in the council room of the elders and village heads, and other places are almost useless." ”

"What happened?" Qian Bin asked.

Xiao Xiao made up his mind to glance at his eyes, and the pupils were like pure streams, which looked like sapphires.

"It has something to do with the fog in the mountains." Xiao Xiao didn't seem to be willing to bring up this topic, but seeing that the topic had been piled up here, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Every year in the mountains, there will be a few months of perennial fog period, and I don't know when that kind of fog will rise during this time, like today is the day when it is possible to fog, after all, ceremonies may be held at any time in these days, and once the fog rises, the situation will change." ”

"What happens when the fog is up?" Qian Bin suddenly had a bad premonition.

Xiao Xiao once again proved that his hunch was correct, she nodded and said, "That's right, once there is a murder in the foggy village, every time it is like this, and over time, everyone thinks that this is the ancestor collecting people." ”

"It's okay to understand it this way," Qian Bin noticed that Xiao Xiao's words were about murders, which meant that in his opinion, these deaths were not normal.

"If this kind of thing were to be put in the city, of course I would say call the police, but it seems that there is no play with you," Qian Bin looked at the valley and looked at it, "Since it can't be avoided, isn't there any way to do it?" After all, you are a self-sufficient village, and you have not set up an organization similar to investigating cases or finding out the truth. ”

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something and finally turned into two words, "No." ”

Qian Bin was almost 100% sure that the girl had lied in front of him.

But he wasn't the kind of person who cared about the girl's lies, he nodded, didn't continue to ask, and said, "Then can you tell me what the hell is going on with this mountain fog?" ”

"All I know is that once the fog rises in the village, you see that the environment of the village is in a basin-like position in the col, and the surrounding fog together, the steep mountain peaks become a natural barrier, and almost no one can shuttle back and forth through this thick fog, that is, we can't do anything, you know? There's no way to get in, there's no way to get out, so you can only come in and out freely when the fog clears, like now. ”

Qian Bin nodded meaningfully and said, "This is also why many wires and infrastructure are repaired halfway through and there is no follow-up halfway through, is this the reason?" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Most of the time there is a reason for this, but everyone is used to this kind of life, and they don't think there is any problem, it's just that the current situation is a little tricky." ”.
