"You buy side dishes...... You've been beaten back, huh? "I was discussing with Xiaofeng when I suddenly heard Mao Du's voice.

When I looked up, I found Mao Du standing in front of us speechlessly.

"Beaten? How can you buy a side dish and get beaten? As if hearing Mao Du's words, Grandma hurriedly walked out of the yard, glanced at Xiaofeng's pig's head (in fact, Xiaofeng was a pig's head when he first came, but now it is more like), and helped Xiaofeng to send it to the house with concern, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the medicine box, and chattered while looking for it: "Alas, why is this village like this now, and you can't do it if you exclude outsiders!" It's really ......."

"Grandma." Xiaofeng said vaguely: "We are also responsible, we were beaten by a group of young people who were fighting on the street." ”

"Where's the stupid one?" Grandma's hand holding the medicine was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, that's them."

"Alas...... The village is late, it's really ......" Grandma sighed, opened the iodine volt, and used a cotton swab to light Xiaofeng's wound.

"What's wrong? Has anything happened in the village lately? ”

"It's just to be stupid about them." Grandma said: "These young people are actually not from our village, and they only came here a while ago - probably more than ten days ago. ”

"More than ten days ago?" After listening to Grandma's words, I was stunned for a moment: according to this point in time, it was Xiaowei who died tragically, and then I confirmed through hospital monitoring that Xiaowei was still alive for a few days. In addition, Xiaowei seems to be inextricably linked with this faint village, I have to guess: Could it be that Xiaowei left me after "cheating" to death at that time, and it has something to do with the fact that they came to this faint village to "maintain law and order"?

"That's not right, Grandma!" Xiao Feng said suddenly: "Didn't you just say that they are not from the village?" So how are they not ostracized by the people of the village? ”

"I was quite ostracized at first." Grandma glanced at Xiao Feng with a complicated face: "But later, those who rejected them were beaten into pigs' heads......

Nima, sure enough, it's the elder brother who still has a big fist.

During the meal, Grandma looked at me and Xiaofeng, and tried to talk several times, but she stopped.

Seeing that Xiaofeng kept glancing at me, I said to Grandma, "Grandma, do you have anything to say to us?" ”

"Hey!" Grandma sighed and said, "Actually, I probably know what you came to this village for. ”

"You...... You know? And what about you? ”

"Then I'll rent a house for you, right?" Grandma put down the dishes and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "I have lived in this village for 50 years, and I can be regarded as witnessing the development of this village. I still know what is going on in this village, what secrets there are, and how much I still know. Like my grandson...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about him. ”

"Actually, you are not the first wave of people to come to the village to investigate. The earliest is thirty years ago. A policeman came and picked up a baby girl. But in the end, it was over. ”

"You've talked about this before."

"But there's one thing you may not know." Grandma said: "The policeman later died, and he was killed by the baby girl he adopted. ”

What the!?

Why didn't such a major event be reported at the time?

"In fact, as you guessed, most of the descendants of this village may be sick." Grandma said: "But after so many years, no one in the village takes it seriously. The old woman is old, so she doesn't care much. If you can find out anything, whether you can change the village or not, please tell me, and let Grandma have a heart disease over the years. ”

"Understood. Grandma, don't worry! Xiao Feng said: "We are not the kind of people who only run away. ”

Xiao Feng said as he glanced at Mao Du meaningfully.

Mao Du tapped his fingers on the table with his own thoughts, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's right! Grandma, do you have a photo album or something at home? Xiao Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Grandma and said, "You have lived in the village for so many years, and there may be some special information in the photos you left." ”

"Yes, yes! There is a photo album! Grandma went back to the bedroom and pulled it for a while, took out a photo album full of dust, dusted it vigorously, and brought it to us: "There are some old photos in it, but the most recent ones are more than 20 years old, and there are no more early." ”

"It's okay, that's fine." Xiaofeng picked up the album and looked at it carefully.

Looking at Xiaofeng's serious appearance, I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I chatted with Grandma and Mao Du without saying a word.

Suddenly, I remembered a question: when we came yesterday, the invisible listeners that Mao Du talked about, will they be with us now?

I walked out of the room, looked up at the darkness, and saw that it was empty and very cold.

From beginning to end, only Mao Du mentioned those monitors, and even Xiaofeng didn't notice it. I said to myself, could it be that Mao Du is shooting smoke bombs? But what is he for?

Standing in the yard and smoking a few cigarettes, when I returned to the house, I found that Xiaofeng had closed the photo album.

"Did you find anything?" I asked.

"Nope." Xiao Feng said: "It's all some very ordinary life photos, and I can't see any additional information." ”

"That's normal, too." I smiled and took the album from Xiao Feng's hand, "There is something abnormal, Grandma has been around for so many years, I'm afraid I would have discovered it a long time ago." ”

As I spoke, I didn't hold the album steady, and the album fell heavily to the ground.

"You shit, what else can you do!" Xiaofeng jokingly scolded me.

When I picked up the album and opened it, I found that some of the photos had fallen out of the pocket of the album due to the fall, and the whole album looked a little messy.

"Don't be stunned, come and help me tidy up." I glared at Xiaofeng and pulled Xiaofeng over.

"Wait!" Xiaofeng glanced at the album, suddenly pressed my hand, and reached out to pull out a small photo from under a large photo with half a corner exposed: "This one has been pressed under the big photo just now, I shouldn't have seen it." ”

Xiaofeng took the small photo and swept it in front of him, and was suddenly stunned!

"What's wrong?"

Odd! Odd! Xiaofeng snatched the album and found a photo again: "How do I remember that I have seen this photo?" ”

Are you mistaken?

No! Xiaofeng said categorically: "I must have seen it!" I can't be mistaken! ”

After a while, Xiaofeng found another small photo: "I'll just say it!" How could I be mistaken! ”

"I thought something was going on! Isn't it just one photo washed twice? As for being so excited? Uncle Mao said disdainfully.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Xiaofeng looked up at me, Mao Du, and Grandma: "There is only one photo in the album, which proves that this album was sorted out at that time, why do you have to put two photos in this photo?" ”

"Which one?" Grandma took the photo with reading glasses and looked at it carefully, and she seemed to be a little unable to remember: "Are you saying why there are two photos in this photo?" Maybe it wasn't sorted out when it was sorted out at that time, right? ”

Is that really the case? Xiaofeng took another photo and pondered, "Why did you leave two of them?" ”
