After coming to Xiaobei's house, Xiaofeng put Long Long down, gently touched Long Long's hair and said, "Long Long is good, you can't bully your mother like this in the future, you know?"

Long Long nodded obediently, then turned around and whispered to Xiao Bei, "Mom, I'm going upstairs to play."

Xiao Bei looked at her baby son affectionately, her eyes full of doting. She squatted down, hugged Long Long into her arms, kissed Long Long's little face, and said softly: "Go play, next time you want to go out, remember to tell your mother, and your mother will accompany you." It must not be the same as it is today. Did you know that you almost scared the hell out of your mom just now! ”

"I'm sorry, Mom." Long Long pouted, closed his eyes slightly, and said a little perfunctorily.

"Alright, let's go up." After getting his mother's permission, Long Long quickly turned around and ran towards the stairs.

Xiaobei turned around and thanked me and Xiaofeng incessantly, then made us tea and beckoned us to sit down and rest.

Looking at Xiaobei's appearance, I can clearly feel that this woman seems to come from some big family, even if it is a very ordinary action of wiping the table and pouring tea, there is a trace of nobility on her.

"Thank you so much for today's event. Oh yes! You two aren't from the village, are you? Xiao Bei said suddenly after sitting down.

"No, we rented a house in the village just a few days ago." Xiaofeng said: "We ......"

"Don't live in this village if you can!" Xiao Bei didn't wait for Xiao Feng to finish speaking, she interrupted him, and Juanxiu's face was full of solemn and concerned looks: "Listen to me, leave as soon as possible!"

Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Bei with a stunned expression, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he turned to me with a look.

I instantly understood what Xiaofeng meant: this woman is testing us!

"Uh...... What's this...... I don't seem to understand what you mean......" I said to Xiaobei hesitantly, "Is there something wrong with this village?" Why didn't the landlord tell us when we rented the house? ”

Xiao Bei also noticed that her words seemed to be a little abrupt, and looked around a little embarrassed, and then changed her smile and said, "Don't get me wrong, I, I don't mean anything else." Forget it, let's not talk about this, you sit down and drink some tea first, at noon, or have a meal here! ”

"Sister Xiaobei." Xiao Feng pressed his hands on the coffee table in front of him, leaned half of his body, and made a gesture of leaving: "We still have some things, so let's go back first." Today's event is just a gesture. Anyone else will also help, you don't have to be so polite. ”

"No, you must have a meal here at noon today. Or...... I'm a little upset about it. Seeing that Xiao Feng was leaving, Xiao Bei hurriedly got up and stopped in front of Xiao Feng, and said enthusiastically: "Besides, our family has always been our two mothers, and we are strangely lonely on weekdays. It's rare to have a guest today, so you should have a lively time with the children, okay? ”

Looking at Xiao Bei's eager and even slightly pleading gaze, Xiao Feng sat down again: "Sister Xiao Bei, you must know us." Just say it bluntly, you're really not fit to play psycho-tactical and verbal games. ”

Xiao Bei's fair face instantly turned red: "I didn't ...... I...... Well, I admit I know you guys. But it was really an accident to meet you today...... Also, I asked you to leave this village out of my heart. ”

Xiao Bei said as she spoke, as if she remembered something from the past, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed up: "I am also one of the victims of this village......

"Sister Xiaobei, I'm sorry." Xiao Feng softened his tone and said sincerely: "Just like you wanted to test us, we also planned to test you at the beginning. But it doesn't seem necessary now. If you have anything to say, just say it! We happen to have something to ask you as well. ”

"You want to ask me too? So you've noticed me before? A hint of wariness appeared on Xiaobei's face - perhaps from the beginning, this woman only wanted to get some information from us, and she didn't even think to share her information with us: "You investigated me?"

"Nope. You're thinking too much. I answered, "We have come to this village purely to find out the truth about a matter concerning our friends, and we have no intention of disturbing anyone."

Xiao Bei was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, until I met you just now, I didn't think about going to communicate with you about the village. Because before you, not no one had come to this village to investigate, but it was all gone. I've been disappointed too many times, so I'm not optimistic about you. ”

"But I happened to meet you today, so I'm going to think about it, and probe your tone—what if you can really find the truth?" Xiaobei continued.

After listening to Xiaobei's words, I secretly said in my heart: "You are not optimistic about us, but your son is optimistic about us." You think our encounter today was a coincidence, but it was your son who made it happen. ”

Xiao Feng said: "If I guess correctly, the truth you want to know, Sister Xiaobei, should be - where did Long Long's father go."

Xiao Beiyin clenched her teeth, her expression was gloomy, and she nodded slightly.

"Can you tell us more about that?" Xiao Feng said: "One of the reasons we came here is also because one of our friends disappeared."

Listening to Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Bei raised her head suddenly, and her two big watery eyes were full of shock: "You didn't lie to me?"

"It's true," Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders, "not only our friends, but we even witnessed the mysterious disappearance of another person last night."

"Who?"

"We don't know. But we can tell you very clearly that the guy who disappeared definitely has something to do with the village, and with that big guy in the village. I answered—I didn't tell Bei about the person who disappeared who looked exactly like me.

"Tell us about you, Sister Bei." Xiao Feng said: "Compared with you getting the news from us and then guessing wildly, it may be more reliable for us to investigate the truth through your information - you can rest assured, no third person will know what you say, and we also promise you that we will tell you as soon as the investigation progresses."

Xiao Bei reached out and gently stroked her hair, bit her lip and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Long Long's father is a very special person."

"Someone special?" Xiaofeng and I were stunned: "What does this special refer to?"

"Maybe you won't believe it." Xiao Bei was entangled for a while and said, "Long Long's father knows some very special skills. He is not an ordinary person, like the legendary eaves and walls, opening mountains and breaking mountains, he can do it. ”

After Xiao Bei said this, she looked at me and Xiao Feng's shocked expressions, and a complicated look appeared on her face—pride and a little loss.

Xiaobei said: "I don't exaggerate this, my brain is also normal." The mysterious disappearance of a big living person can also be attributed to human planning, hypnotic amnesia; There's no scientific basis for this ability of Daddy Longlong—I know it's hard to convince you, but if you can't accept that, I don't need to tell you too much about it. ”

"No, no, no!" Xiao Feng and I glanced at each other, and each of them showed a look of surprise: I didn't expect that in this village, there was another victim who was also a godsend or a symbiote! And this person, there is actually a family member who is a native of the village!

Unlike ordinary victims, most of the Gifted and Symbiotic have definite characteristics and circles of influence. As long as we find out the identity of Longlong's father, the scope of our investigation will have a clear direction!

"We believe." I looked at Xiaobei sincerely and said, "You can go on."

"Long Long's father came here thirteen years ago." Xiao Bei said, "When he came, he was alone, and he didn't even bring his luggage, so he stayed in the village. ”

"At first, most people thought he was just coming to the village for work or other reasons." Xiaobei continued: "But after staying in the village for a while, he directly bought a house and officially settled down."

"Coming here alone? Does he have no family? Xiaofeng asked.

"At that time, no one cared about these problems for him. As you may already know, this village is actually very repulsive to outsiders. Xiao Bei said: "But he is very polite and very sincere." No matter what the people in the village did to him, he didn't mind; Whenever something happened in the village, he always took the lead. Over time, it also won the respect of the villagers. ”

"The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people of the rivers and lakes, why should we have met before." Xiaofeng inexplicably chanted an Internet celebrity sentence.

"yes, that's what it feels like." Unexpectedly, Xiao Bei didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said to Xiao Feng approvingly: "At that time, I was very infatuated with him, and I felt that he had a chivalrous temperament of a wanderer." But I'm an introvert, and I'm embarrassed to do this kind of thing like a woman chasing a man anyway, but fortunately, we ended up together. ”

When Xiaobei said this, her face was full of happy smiles, as if she had returned to the youthful age of the year.
