Li Xuanyue didn't want to accept the invitation sent by Yue Qinmu, so she opened her mouth and refused: "No need, I still have bread to deal with." ”

"Isn't it just because your sister isn't there that you become cautious about everything?" Qin Mu's low and seductive voice reached her ears, like a kind of bewitchment.

"I'm not that timid." Li Xuanyue was really excited, she strode towards the outside of the homestay: "What to eat?" You're in for a treat. ”

The two walked side by side, speechless all the way, but each had something on their minds. After a while, Qin Mu spoke first: "What I said last night, don't take it to heart." ”

"What words? I don't remember. Li Xuanyue glanced at him, "But you still don't put on that kind of aggressive posture, it's not flattering." ”

Qin Mu chuckled when he heard this: "Let's go, take you somewhere." ”

Qin Mu's footsteps stopped at the door of a small shop called "Bamboo Slips", Li Xuanyue looked at the façade a few times to make sure that this was not a restaurant, and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Qin Mu replied: "This is where Yao Yi disappeared yesterday afternoon, to be clear, it should be the last place where she appeared." ”

"Handmade?" Seeing Qin Mu push open the door of the store and enter, Li Xuanyue also followed his footsteps.

In Li Xuanyue's impression, the wood craft workshop should be making some dishes, spoons or other simple handicrafts, but this shop only has dolls.

There are dolls in various postures displayed in the glass case, and the full cheeks and translucent eyes are very delicate and look very realistic.

The lights in the shop were not bright, and an elderly woman saw them come in and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”

Qin Mu's gaze fell on all kinds of dolls, and he replied, "I like these works of art very much, so I came here to take a look." ”

The old woman sighed, "Young people like you who are interested in dolls are rare now. ”

Li Xuanyue walked up to a doll that was almost as tall as herself, and couldn't help but shudder when she met her empty eyes.

"Don't you think they're beautiful?" Qin Mu asked.

Li Xuanyue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and said: "It's really beautiful, it's beautiful and people can't take their eyes off it, it's just ......."

"You don't always stare at the puppets," Qin Mu patted Li Xuanyue's shoulder, "Don't you think that looking at it is like being sucked away by them?" ”

Li Xuanyue looked away and nodded.

Qin Mu said quietly: "Empty things, always find something to fill." ”

"So you came to this store to ask about yesterday?" Li Xuanyue asked.

Qin Mu closed his eyes and shook his head: "I'm here to ask someone to help me fix things." ”

"Fix what?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Qin Mu took off the backpack on his shoulder and placed it on the table in front of him. This backpack seems to be a little intimidating to Li Leqi, what exactly is in it?

It's better not to reveal some mysteries, but curiosity starts to haunt you.

Li Xuanyue asked, "Can you watch it?" ”

Qin Mu opened the backpack and carefully took out the wooden box inside.

"A singing box?" Li Xuanyue was surprised, "You came here to repair the music box?" ”

"This is no ordinary music box." Qin Mu smiled mysteriously and entered the innermost compartment with the box in his hand.

Li Xuanyue walked to the door of the compartment, still hesitating, and at this time she heard the sound of people talking inside.

"The damage is relatively light, give me a little time to repair it completely." It was a man's deep voice, which sounded much older than them.

"Okay," Qin Mu replied, "I'm going to put it to use." ”

Li Xuanyue heard a "click" sound inside, it should be that the wooden box was opened, she curiously lifted the corner of the door curtain and looked inside.

However, inside the wooden box is not a music box at all, but a human head! Li Xuanyue was shocked, and the schoolbag belt in her hand pulled out the red mark on the flesh.

She stiffened her body at the moment and didn't dare to move, whose head was that? Countless terrible thoughts have arisen in my mind. She's going to run, get out of here, and call the police!

"What are you doing standing outside? Not coming in yet. ”

Qin Mu's voice really made Li Xuanyue tremble in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to ...... I want to go out and breathe. ”

Qin Mu got up and walked in front of her, and when he saw that her pale face was full of horror, he suddenly smiled: "Scared? What do you think it is? ”

Qin Mu took Li Xuanyue's arm and walked into the compartment and said, "You take a closer look." ”

Li Xuanyue covered her eyes with her hands and didn't dare to look at it at all, and under Qin Mu's persuasion, she squinted her eyes and looked through her fingers tremblingly.

It turned out to be just the head of a puppet, and she saw the tiny wood grain on her skin clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so realistic......"

"Have you ever heard of a saying that curiosity kills a cat?" Qin Mu's black and white eyes stared at Li Xuanyue, catching the changes in her eyes.

"Curious...... Kill the cat......" Li Xuanyue's eyes looked to the left, as if she was recalling something.

Seeing that she reacted to this, she continued: "Since you are curious, why don't you see it clearly?" He simply handed the wooden box to Li Xuanyue and nodded to her.

Li Xuanyue seemed to be encouraged, and stretched out her hand to take the wooden box. The doll has thick black hair on the top of its head like a real person, and a pale scalp can be seen when you look closely.

The head of the "Gollum ......" actually rolled in the box, and Li Xuanyue was so shocked that she wanted to get rid of it. Qin Mu grabbed her hand and didn't let go, his face was as cold as a layer of frost.

"You let go!" Li Xuanyue tried her best to break free, but saw that her head had automatically turned to the position of her face up, and a pair of dark eyes were staring at her.

There were no whites in these eyes, and the black eyes occupied the entire pupil, Li Xuanyue felt a chill down her spine, her calves began to tremble, and then there was a whirlwind of the sky......

It's so dark around, where is this? Li Xuanyue's consciousness slowly woke up, and she found that she was lying on a dirt slope, and there were countless holes on the dirt slope, and something seemed to be probing her brain at the mouth of the hole.

She rubbed her sore legs and slowly stood up, and at this moment countless flower snakes came out of those small holes, spitting apricots and surrounding her.

"Help! Don't come here! Li Xuanyue sat up from the bed with a sigh of surprise.

"Xuanyue, are you having a nightmare?" Li Leqi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her worriedly.

"Why am I here? Am I not out? Li Xuanyue looked around and found herself back in the room of the homestay.

"You've been sleeping in your room!" Li Leqi wondered.

Li Xuanyue grabbed Li Leqi's hands violently and asked nervously, "You mean, I haven't gone out at all today?" ”

Li Leqi nodded affirmatively: "You have slept since last night, and I am a little worried about you." ”

What the? Never been out at all? Is what just happened a dream? Impossible!

Li Xuanyue asked again, "What about Yao Yi?" Did you find it? ”

"Found it...... Her corpse. ”
