When the two of them were tired of playing, and when they turned around and saw the two of them talking quietly by the door, Song Miaomiao was startled at first, and then an indescribable emotion of joy and sorrow came to her heart.

The joy is that her brother Jane finally woke up, and his complexion seems to have recovered well, but the sad thing is that the situation in the early morning now feels that he doesn't know what face to face him, and he always feels that he is a heinous big bad wolf, almost gnawing on the white rabbit that other people's families have worked so hard to raise for nothing.

Although the embarrassment has always spread in the heart, time is still moving forward in minutes, and the day is spent in a calm trance, and the four of them actually get along with a family of four and three generations in the same house.

After a few days of getting along, the old man's attitude towards them has also improved a lot, at least he will no longer stand behind him in a gloomy manner, and even talk to them about the past when he is in a good mood.

After a day, Song Miaomiao was surprised to find that the reason why she was so excited when Yueyue mentioned Yuming Village last night was because of her, this middle-aged old man who looked like he was over seventy or eighty years old and had actually just passed the age of sixtieth year, turned out to be a survivor of Yuming Village, as soon as the news came out, Song Miaomiao and Ning Jian were both shocked, and they looked at each other for a long time or Ning Jian was the first to speak.

"I heard a ridiculous rumor in Yuming Village......"

"No one in the village will live to be forty years old, will they?" The old man answered clearly: "And you still want to know why I can live until now, who is also from Yuming Village, right?" ”

Ning Jian was dumbfounded, this was indeed what he wanted to know at the moment.

The old man glanced at him, and did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "This is what I found out after I was driven out of Yuming Village for several years, there is a jade forest in the west of our village, I heard that the forest is left by our ancestors, and it is the general existence of the whole village, I think it is the problem of this forest, I have lived in that area since I was a child, and my family happens to be the closest family to that forest, every winter night there will always be a foul smell from that forest, I can't tell what kind of smell it is, just like an animal corpse that has rotted for many years, But the next morning everything was back to normal, and the stench of the previous night had vanished like a dream. ”

"Stench? Didn't you think about asking the people in the village to react to this situation? Ning Jian asked. He didn't ask why the old man was kicked out of the village, after all, it was someone else's private matter.

The old man glanced at him and said, "Naturally, there has been a reaction, but it is strange to say, the night when the village chief and cadres came, there was no smell in the forest, and our family was reprimanded by the village chief, saying that we spread rumors to slander the holy relics left by our ancestors, and our family suffered a lot of white eyes for a while, until later it was unbearable, and finally chose to move out of that location to live, but now that I think about it, I still think it has something to do with that forest." ”

Ning Jian listened carefully to the old man's informative words, and a vague thought formed in his mind: "You mean that you can only smell that stench at night in winter, right?" ”

The old man nodded.

"However, the village chiefs and cadres didn't smell it that night."

"Yes." The old man bowed his head again with great certainty.

"Except for the night when the village chief went, did you smell that smell every night in the winter?" Rather Jane.

"I'm not sure about that, after all, it's been decades, but I can smell it most of the winter nights." Old man.

"Mostly, strictly speaking, there are more than half of the odds, so do you have anything in common every time you smell this smell? For example, I ate something that night, and it was windy and rainy that night? ”

“.…..” The old man seemed to be caught up in endless memories.

Song Miao Miao hugged the sleepy Yueyue in her arms, and unconsciously looked at Ning Jian with a serious expression with her big eyes.

The latter's gaze, which was originally looking straight ahead, suddenly turned, and unexpectedly collided with Song Miaomiao, who was staring at him with a distraction.

After a while, she was suffocated for a while, and the handsome face, which was always the same, was slightly raised, evoking an indifferent and shallow smile.
