Just as Chenyang was flipping through the miscellaneous notes and reading them with relish. See. Wool, Chinese net

Outside the room, there was a very soft footsteps.

The footsteps stopped in front of Wang Yu's room, and the two of them stopped what they were doing, and their eyes gathered in front of the closed door at the same time.

I saw that the red lacquered door was pushed open, and a little girl stood in the doorway.

He was wearing a pale cyan gown, with two pigtails, his red face looked a little fat, and there was some maturity in his eyebrows and eyes that did not belong to children. “

As soon as the little girl pushed open the door, she looked at Wang Yu who was sitting on the bed and shouted, "Uncle Wang Yu, grandpa called you to the hall."

"Got it, Yaya, go play." Wang Yu quickly walked to the door, squatted down and pinched Yaya's fat face, and said with a smile.

Yaya was pinched in her face, showing a very awkward expression, snorting angrily, and quickly ran away from the other end of the corridor.

Chenyang looked at the little girl and remembered his second side quest, which was a little girl who lost her toy and needed to help her find it.

The little girl mentioned in it may be Yaya, Chenyang thought in his heart, when he finished looking for the village chief, he would come back to find the little girl to understand the situation.

Wang Yu noticed Chenyang who walked to his side, and said loudly: "Yaya is the granddaughter of the village chief, she may have stayed with the village chief for too long, and she is more mature than other children of the same age."

Chenyang recalled Yaya's appearance, and couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Wang Yu's statement.

"Okay, the village chief may have something important to look for me, and it just so happens that you are also looking for the village chief, let's go together." Wang Yu said loudly, turned around and walked towards the hall.

Chenyang followed behind Wang Yu and returned to the gloomy hall.

On the Taishi chair at the front of the hall, a thin old man with a snow-white beard and a kind face sat upright, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and slowly tasted a taste.

It wasn't until he heard footsteps approaching that he turned his head to look at Chenyang Wang Yu and the others, his voice was a little low and weak, and he said with a smile: "Wang Yu, I agreed to the idea you put forward before."

When Wang Yu heard this answer, he forgot the existence of Chenyang beside him for a while, his eyes showed excitement, and he shouted: "Thank you village chief, the kid is grateful." See. Hair. Line. Middle. Wen. Net"

"This matter is beneficial to the village, and I will naturally agree to it." The village chief smiled, very satisfied with Wang Yu's performance.

After ending the conversation between the two, the village chief's gaze shifted to Chenyang's body, and the eyes that had gone through vicissitudes of life seemed to see through Chenyang.

Chenyang stood in place, inexplicably feeling great pressure, and was extremely uncomfortable for a while.

Only then did Wang Yu notice the morning sun on the side.

"Who's this young man next to you?" The village chief asked slowly, retracting his gaze that stayed in the morning sun.

Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and felt a little wary of the elderly village chief, and in the village chief's body, Chenyang sensed a faint aura of danger.

"This is a friend who is traveling with me, called Chenyang, he is here this time because he has something to look for you." Wang Yu said out loud, and by the way, he said the purpose of Chenyang's arrival.

"Oh?" The village chief put down the teacup in his hand, and said with some surprise in his tone: "Chenyang, you came to me, is there anything wrong?"

Only then did Chenyang raise his head, look directly at the village chief on the opposite side and say, "Village chief, I came to you because of the family I borrowed."

"Which house do you live in?" When the village chief heard this answer, he asked with some curiosity.

"Mr. Zhang Li's family." Chenyang replied truthfully.

"Zhang Li, he is a rich man in the village, and he and I are old acquaintances, what happened to you and him?" The village chief said slowly, he was already very familiar with everything in this village.

"Sir treats me very well, nothing happened to me and him, but there is only one thing I want to know." Chenyang said in a deep voice.

The village chief's eyes were curious, "If you ask, I will try to answer you." ”

Seeing this, Chenyang said slowly: "In the past two days, I happened to learn that Mr. Zhang Li has a daughter in addition to his son, so I asked Mr. with some curiosity, but he told me that there was no such thing, and I was curious, so I wanted to ask the village chief, you have been in the village for so many years, you must know something."

The village chief pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and said slowly: "I do know something about this matter, and I can tell you, but there is one condition."

"Village Chief, please speak." Chenyang replied.

"You can't pass on what I've told you to anyone else, or I'll expel you from the village." The village chief spoke up, his tone becoming more serious than before.

Wang Yu, who had been staying next to him, stepped forward when he heard this sentence: "Since this is the kind of thing, it's better for the kid to avoid it first."

The village chief did not answer, so he took it as a tacit.

Wang Yu took a step and quickly walked out of the hall, not hiding somewhere to eavesdrop on the conversation, but quickly returned to the room.

In the entire hall, there are now only two people, Chenyang and the village chief.

The village chief looked at Chenyang quietly, his eyes were soft, and he seemed to be caught in some memories, "Zhang Li's daughter, called Xue Ying, has been smart and gentle since she was a child, and in our village, she is one of the few women who have studied, and Zhang Li loves her very much."

But later, when Zhang Xueying became an adult, Zhang Li promised her a family affair, and Xueying refused to agree, and even committed suicide in the room in the end. ”

When Chenyang heard these words, although there was a discrepancy with the information he knew, he had a general understanding of those situations, and continued to ask, "Did Zhang Xueying really commit suicide?"

"I heard Zhang Li say that she hanged herself and hanged herself in the room." The village chief sighed and felt a little sorry for Zhang Xueying's death.

"Then do you know where Zhang Xueying's tomb is?" Chenyang continued to ask, as if trying to find her grave and find out.

After a little recollection, the village chief said, "Her grave is in the former cemetery, on the hill behind the village, but it is too desolate over there, and few people have passed there now."

Chenyang nodded and said gratefully, "Trouble the village chief, I have already got the answer I want."

"It's okay, you just have to keep your promise, and you'd better stay away from the tomb over there, it's dangerous." The village chief kindly reminded.

Chenyang nodded, and did not respond to the village chief's words, as if he had other thoughts hidden in his heart.

After talking to the village chief, Chenyang did not leave the village chief's house, but walked to the corridor behind the hall.

In the hallway near him, Yaya was sitting on the floor, her fingers constantly drawing something on the ground.

Chenyang slowed his steps, and quickly walked behind Yaya, noticing the pattern she drew on the ground with water.

It was a simple pattern, very common in doll villages, the head of a puppet doll.

However, this puppet doll is strange, his mouth is not smiling upward, but drooping slightly, with the ink on the corner of his eye, revealing a crying expression.

Chenyang looked at this pattern and said softly, "Yaya, what are you painting?"

Yaya turned her head, glanced at Chenyang silently, and said lightly: "Walking silently will scare people to death."

When Chenyang heard her words, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Chenyang didn't know the reason why Wang Yu said that Yaya was mature, but now he probably understood the meaning of Wang Yu's words, and it is estimated that Wang Yu was also scolded by Yaya.

"It's my favorite toy." Yaya continued, sighing in her mouth, showing a helpless look that her peers did not have, and said, "But a few days ago, I lost it."

Chenyang's face was overjoyed, and he had already guessed that Yaya was the little girl from another side quest, and asked aloud, "How did you lose it?"

"Playing outside, playing and losing it." The girl said aloud, her fingers still drawing on the ground.

"Yaya, why don't you tell me, where is the place where you lost the doll, how about I go and help you find it?" Chenyang said loudly.

Now that the little girl has learned about the side quest, it is natural to get some clues from her, otherwise it will be as difficult to find puppet dolls in the doll village where there are countless puppets than the return quest.

"I remember when I played, it was next to the dry well, and you could go there and have a look." Yaya recalled the scene when she was playing, and said out loud.

Chenyang nodded, "Now that you have a location, then I will definitely help you find it." ”

"Hmm." Yaya answered, ignored Chenyang, and continued to paint the puppet painting on the ground
