"I'm wondering, why don't we go to the Genji family to have a look?" Ling Xuezhi's words made everyone's eyes light up, and continued: "We all listened to that Ding Xue for everything, but she is not from the Yuan family, I think there should be a lot of unknown things in the Yuan family, although people are dead, there may be any clues left." ”

Li Tao walked up to him and said with an expression of disbelief: "What you just said is absolutely constructive, I almost fell into a dead end, and now that I think about it, I can only go to the Yuan family to have a look." ”

"Aren't you going to ask Ding Xue again?" Deng Yuhao said.

"yes, didn't you leave her phone number? If you want to go, you have to ask. Li Tao said.

Deng Yuhao said with an embarrassed face: "I just hung up the phone and called again, I wonder if others think I have any intentions?" Or you fight. ”

Ling Xuezhi said impatiently: "It's so troublesome to make a phone call, bring the number, I'll call." ”

So, he dialed Ding Xue's number, and deliberately turned on the microphone, and said to the three of them: "I'll teach you how to communicate with people today." ”

With a "beep", Ding Xue picked up the phone.

"Hey, hello, I'm Ling Xuezhi, it's ......"

"I don't know." On the other end, Ding Xue simply hung up the phone.

Ling Xuezhi forgot what expression to use for a while, so he had to tilt his head and smile, and said in a slurred voice: "This, this is too ......"

Deng Yuhao and the three of them were all lying down laughing at this time, and Ling Xuezhi, who couldn't say anything for a long time, finally said: "Life, it's really not so simple. ”

In the end, it was Deng Yuhao who called. It turned out that the place where Ding Xue and her family lived was called "Xiangyun Town", on the other side of the city, and it took two hours to drive from the school.

"What time is it?" Sima asked suddenly.

"Twenty-fifty, what, we're going now?" Li Tao felt that Sima had become more anxious than him.

"Yes, I think you may have been right before, and it's better to figure this matter out as soon as possible." Sima said to Li Tao.

Ling Xuezhi jumped off the bed and said, "Then why are you still sitting?" ”

The four of them luckily stopped a taxi at the school gate, and as soon as they opened the door, they received a call from Ding Xue.

"Are you going to Xiangyun Town?" Ding Xue asked?

"yes, it's time to get in the car." Deng Yuhao said.

"Are you investigating Yuan Tingting's affairs, why?" Ding Xue Road.

"You won't understand, but thank you for telling us today." Deng Yuhao felt that he couldn't explain on the phone.

"You suspect that her business is not man-made, do you?" Ding Xue's words made Deng Yuhao stunned, and then she continued: "If it's convenient, I'll go with me, anyway, if I go home, at least I can show you the way." ”

Deng Yuhao turned his head to the driver and said, "Can you sit for one more person, add a hundred yuan." ”

The driver thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to take a small road to get around the city, and it takes an extra forty or fifty minutes, so it's ......."

"Add another hundred." Ling Xuezhi said simply, as if he wanted to find a step for the foreign appearance just now.

Because of a big circle, it was already half past five when the taxi arrived in Xiangyun Town, but fortunately, it was still the end of summer, although it had rained, the sky was still bright.

Xiangyun Town is not as simple as a few people imagined, but presents a modern atmosphere, busy with traffic, very lively, coupled with the cool air after the rain, it is a beautiful and peaceful small city scenery. As soon as he got out of the car, Ling Xuezhi quoted a famous saying: "It's good to be alive." ”

Sima crutches his legs and said, "You're so cool, have you ever thought about how your bony ass feels on my lap?" It turned out that because there was one more person and a girl, Sima had no choice but to pick up Ling Xuezhi, who had the body of a devil, but this devil's ass was not so comfortable.

"Xiangyun Town is pretty good, I almost thought I hadn't left the city yet." Deng Yuhao said to Ding Xuedao.

"This is a new area that was developed a few years ago, and there will be a while where the Yuan family lives." Ding Xue Road.

"What about your house? Just around? Deng Yuhao asked again.

"Why do you ask so much?" Ding Xue said, Deng Yuhao felt that these words didn't seem to be coming at him.

The five of them continued to walk, and gradually, the buildings became fewer and fewer, replaced by tiled houses, sparse and sparse. In the end, even the tiled houses were almost out of sight, and all that caught my eye was the barren fields and a few willow trees as thin as Ling Xuezhi.

"There." When the four of them were wondering if they were going the wrong way, Ding Xue pointed to the distance and said.

As far as the eye can see, you can see a corner of the roof. Several people quickened their pace and rushed over, and the original family's house was on a downhill road.

"Are these all the Yuan family living in?" Li Tao asked Ding Xue.

"Yes." Ding Xue said.

"I now believe that the Yuan family was once prosperous." Looking at the twenty or thirty old houses standing together under his feet, Deng Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.

"What about prosperity before, not all of them are dead." Ding Xue said.

Sima pointed to the old house of the Yuan family with his right hand at this time, looked up at the sky, seemed to be calculating something, and said after a long time: "The east mountain can't get out of the light, and the west leaves the ghost Wangpo, hmph, what kind of place is this chosen, if nothing happens, it's weird." "It seems that the terrain on which the house was built is not very good.

Looking at these houses on a small slope didn't feel anything, but as soon as he got closer, Deng Yuhao felt hairy. The sunset after the rain sprinkled around the house, looking old and dim, the crumbling plaque on the eaves had long since disappeared from the scenery of the day, and I didn't know that the wind was coming from there, and it was rattling everywhere, as if it was shouting at these intruders. Dozens of houses stand irregularly, devastated by wind and rain. Ling Xuezhi felt that the idea of wanting to come to the source family seemed too impulsive at this time, he thought that the source family might be very gloomy, but he didn't expect that it was so gloomy that it was like walking into a dead city, many of the doors of the house were still hung with white lanterns, and the burned paper money could still be seen on the ground, when passing through a guest hall, Ling Xuezhi also saw a few portraits hanging on the wall, and the people on the picture were smiling, but they were so unnatural. He had heard from friends that some people did not have a picture before they died, so their family members would take a picture of the face of the corpse, and some even deliberately hooked the corners of the corpse's mouth up to make a smiling face to meet the guests.

"Are you scared?" Sima's voice came from his ears.

"Don't be afraid." Ling Xuezhi replied.

"Not afraid? So why are you walking so fast? Sima continued.

"Ah, I ......" Ling Xuezhi looked back and found that he couldn't see everyone anymore. Nervous, he had no choice but to say to Sima: "This place is too big and spacey, it is inevitable that there is something like that..... Halfway through his words, Ling Xuezhi was covered in a cold sweat. There is no Sima, there is no one around except himself. It's an illusion, what I heard just now must be an illusion, I'm too nervous, they will come over soon, Ling Xuezhi kept comforting himself. Turning his head, he saw that there were still tables, chairs, and teacups in the classrooms in those rooms, as if the owner of the house would come out of it at any time, and greet him with a smile just like in those photos. Ling Xuezhi found that he had the urge to shout for help, yes, I can shout.

"Sima, Li Tao, Deng Yuhao......" Ling Xuezhi shouted miserably, and he always felt that no one would agree.

"What the hell are you called?" It turned out that his perception was not strong, and Li Tao's voice came from behind him.

Ling Xuezhi looked back and saw that it was Li Tao, and couldn't help but give him a deep hug. I have a feeling of being pulled out of a desperate situation, and how happy it is to have a friend to accompany me in the midst of crisis.

"What are you holding me for?" A voice that didn't sound like a human being said made Ling Xuezhi's body temperature instantly freeze. Yes, how could Li Tao be so short. Ling Xuezhi found that the head of the person in his arms was only up to his chest, and when he found that something was wrong, he pushed the person in his arms away.

Seeing the person in front of him, Ling Xuezhi found that he couldn't call it anymore. How can such a person still be alive, it must be hell............
