The three of them temporarily live in the second master's house, because the second master usually lives alone, so in addition to the room where he lived and the room where I lived before, the other rooms are stacked with sundries or firewood, which is difficult to sort out for a while.

Because he couldn't find Xiaoling, after coming back, the second master locked himself in the room without saying a word, and did not arrange a place for us to live.

In desperation, I had to lie down in the living room and let Yan Xiaoying and Liu Xiaojiao sleep in the room where I slept before.

After a few hours of rain, Yan Xiaoying was careful and cooked ginger soup for us to drink, I wanted to bring a bowl to the second master, but when I knocked on the door, he didn't respond, so I had to give up.

The three of them drank the ginger soup with a heavy heart, and the two women went back to the room in wet clothes, while I changed into the clothes that the second master usually wears, and lay on the bamboo chair and couldn't sleep.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain, the village had a power outage, so we had to use oil lamps and candles to light it.

Fortunately, the second master is a mage, and there are many things like oil lamps and candles in his family.

Old-fashioned kerosene lamps were placed on the tables, and the dim lights burned faintly, and occasionally the wind blew into the hall with a mist of water, and the lights flickered and flickered.

Tick ......

Whoa......

The rain was so heavy that the roof tiles crackled, and the water that flowed down from the pit formed columns of water that hit the ground.

"This rain is heavier than the rainstorm when I walked the Jiao before......"

If it rains like this until dawn, it will definitely flood, and in serious cases, it will even cause landslides and floods......

In fact, what I'm most worried about is the forest farm reservoir, although the reservoir is prepared to deal with this situation, but after all, as a mountain guard, I am not on the mountain, and I don't know if Lin Miao can handle it alone?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, because if the reservoir did burst, it would be the many villagers living at the foot of the mountain who would suffer, and among these many villagers there were their parents, relatives and friends.

Listening to the sound of the violent rain, where do I still feel sleepy? Sitting up from the recliner, he thought about making a phone call to the mountain to ask about the situation of Lin Miao Reservoir.

But after touching his trouser pocket, he realized that his mobile phone was misunderstood by the villagers as Xiaoling's murderer, and he didn't know which bastard took it or threw it away, but it was gone anyway.

As a last resort, I had to borrow Yan Xiaoying's mobile phone.

As I walked out of the hall with the military flashlight left behind by the troops, I suddenly shivered without warning, and I felt that someone outside the door of the room was snooping through the crack in the door.

I feel that this kind of thing is very wonderful, and to say that it is not credible, sometimes it is very accurate, and when you believe it, you find that it is wrong.

I've always believed in my feelings, so when I noticed something was wrong, I was alert as soon as I could.

This feeling, as people often call the sixth sense, has saved my life more than the first time, and there are definitely people outside the door who are spying on me.

The gate is facing the hall, and there is an open-air courtyard several meters wide in the middle, and the rooms of Yan Xiaoying and Liu Xiaojiao are on the left hand side of the courtyard; On the right is the room where the second master lives, as well as a storage room and firewood room.

I had an extra eye, and I didn't directly use a flashlight to patrol in the direction of the gate, for fear of startling the snake.

Through the dim light, I looked through the dense rain curtain out of the corner of my eye, and found that the place where the gate was located was shrouded in darkness, and it was vaguely seen that the wooden door was not completely closed, revealing a palm-sized gap.

Retracting his gaze, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall of the hall, which showed that it was 2:12 a.m.

At this time period, and in such a harsh environment, who will the other party be? What is the purpose?

It stands to reason that there is no reason for the villagers under the hillside to spy on us at this time, unless they are thieves...... Could it be the real murderer of Xiaoling?

Or rather: there are no people outside the door......

My mind was in a hurry, and my footsteps had come to the door of the room where Yan Xiaoying and the two daughters were, the lights in the room had been extinguished, and it seemed that they had fallen asleep.

Yan Xiaoying, I don't dare to say, but at least Liu Xiaojiao should have slept to death, she came to this village last night, led people to salvage Xiaoling's body during the day, and was with us at night, she has not rested for a day and a night.

Although she is stubborn and irritable and a little reckless, she is at least very serious and responsible for her work, which is not comparable to Lao Fei.

I hesitated, but didn't knock on the door, and walked a few more steps, already in the rain. At this moment, my direction is beyond the peek through the crack in the door.

I turned off the flashlight, took advantage of the sound of the rain, and carefully climbed over the one-meter-high fence.

Outside the wall, there was a taro leaf, which was very large, and the rain crackled on the leaves.

Lying under the taro leaves, it was pitch black because I didn't have a flashlight, and I groped my way to the gate from the side with the sense of direction in my head.

It was as if someone was being watered with a bucket of water, and the ground was hideous, and the sand and mud were sticking to the wounds, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Holding back the pain and discomfort, he pushed aside the taro leaves that were covering him and looked in the direction of the gate.

From the crack in the door, a glimmer of light was projected, and through the faint light, I really saw a black shadow lying outside the door.

The man, dressed in a cloak and a hat on his head, couldn't see it because of the angle and light, so he lay outside the door, staring motionless like a piece of wood into the room.

"What is the purpose of this person spying on us?"

My heart sank, and I didn't immediately rush out to subdue him, because with my current physical state, I really couldn't be completely sure that I would catch the other party, and besides, the identity and motives of the other party were unknown.

After a little silence, I decided to respond to all changes with the same thing, and to hide in the dark to observe, but to see what the other party had.

Although he doesn't know the identity of the other party, judging from his size and dress, it should be a man, a living person, not Xiao Ling who cheated the corpse to ask for his life.

I'm seven percent sure, even if this person is not the murderer of Xiao Ling, he definitely has nothing to do with this matter.

Could he be Xiaoling's father?

If it's really a camel, I can't rush out now, in case I provoke the other party, the name of the strong guy is not in vain.

"I don't believe you can lie still all night......"

I cursed in my heart and hibernated.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, and half an hour passed, and the other party still didn't move, not even moving his body.

I lay on my stomach on the muddy and gloomy taro field, gritting my teeth and holding on, my heart already restless.

Because of the high concentration of the mind, as time passes, it gradually becomes tired.

An hour passed, and the other party was still like a log, and there was no movement.

I don't know if it was because I was too tired or something, but before I knew it, I fell asleep in this harsh environment.

No...... To be exact, I should have passed out.

By the time I woke up, it was already bright, but not quite bright, and the rain was still falling.

Looking at the sky, I guessed that it should be around five or six o'clock in the morning, and I only slept for two or three hours.

Struggling to get up from the muddy ground, I felt that my head was unusually heavy, and I was very groggy and uncomfortable, and I was afraid that I had a high fever after a night of rain.

I didn't think I would fall asleep in that situation last night, and it seems that I still overestimated my physical fitness.

Shaking his head, trying to keep himself awake, he looked up in the direction of the gate, only to see that it was empty. Because it had rained all night, a puddle of water formed in front of the door.

The mysterious man in the cloak and hat left.

I don't know when I left, but I guess it was during the time when I was asleep......

Did he discover himself?

Damn, I was going to monitor and track each other, but I didn't expect to fall asleep. If I knew this, I should have shown up last night, so that even if I couldn't catch the other party, I could at least know the identity of the other party......

"Miscalculated ......"

I patted my forehead, remorseful.

sighed, struggled to get up, now that his health is too poor and he is not feeling well, it is better to go back to the house and rest for a while and wait for Yan Xiaoying and them to wake up.

Leaning against the wall and staggering to the door, I was about to push the door in, when I suddenly saw a person standing in front of the door of the next room.

That person was wearing a cloak and a hat, wasn't it the mysterious person I saw lying outside the door last night?

He hasn't even left?

Moreover, this time it was not in front of the second master's house, but outside the door of the camel couple.

There are only two families on this dirt slope, the second master and the camel, although this person is different from last night's posture, but his outfit I still recognize him at a glance.

He stood straight in front of the door of the camel's house, and his left hand was stretched forward and pressed against the wooden door, as if he was about to push the door in.

It's just that he seems to have been spelled at this moment, and he doesn't move, and the rain falls on his hat and slides down his coat.

The other party held this position for an unknown amount of time and stood in front of the camel gate, like a scarecrow stationed in the field.

Odd!

It's really weird!

The other party was lying outside the door of the second master last night, and now he is running to the door of the camel's house, what does he want to do?

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and my already dazed and exhausted head suddenly cleared up for three minutes.

"Who are you? What do you want to do when you stand in someone else's house? ”

It's daytime, and I'm not afraid of any conspiracy and tricks played by the other party, so I just ask the other party directly.

My voice was very loud, and its purpose was to wake up the second master, Yan Xiaoying, and Liu Xiaojiao in the room, in case of unexpected events, and one person could not deal with it.

I thought that if I shouted, the other party would turn around and respond even if he didn't panic and fled.

But to my surprise, the strange man in the cloak ignored my shouting, and still stood there motionless like a wooden carving.

"Is it really a scarecrow...... Someone pretended to be a prank...... Move it here to scare people? ”

I was suspicious and walked quickly towards the other party.

"Who the hell are you?"

When I got closer, I asked again, and at the same time reached out and quickly removed the hat from the other person's head.

When I saw the other person's face clearly, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, and my steps staggered back, and my face was full of incredulity.

What do I see?

This is not a scarecrow, nor is it a real person...... But......

But...... Water snail ......

Under the hat was a dense snail, forming the outline of a person, and a strong fishy smell emanated from its body, which was disgusting.
