Although the old man didn't ask you a word, he probably wants to hear your explanation! ”

"Hmph, to put it mildly, it's all the manpower of the entire detective agency. It's all about the whole detective agency plus the brute force kid who just joined, but it's only four people. I sarcastically said.

"Hehe, they're all elites, we focus on the elite route, and it's always not good if there are too many people. Miscellaneous. Hou Ruolin Zhiyan's face was also a little red, and she screwed me hard, "Don't want to change the topic, I didn't let the old lady chase the stars and catch the moon with you without an explanation, and I drove for three days and three nights in this kind of ghost place where birds don't." But speaking of which, your hometown is also weird, and the detective agency doesn't have any information about it. Not only could I not find the map, but I couldn't even find the satellite photos. The place seemed to be covered by a ring of clouds all year round, and there was never a sunny day in it? ”

"I can't explain that either. In short, as far as I can remember, there were indeed sunny days. I looked down and thought about it.

Lin Zhiyan knocked her head hard, "Damn, I was almost changed the topic by you again." Tell me why you want to go back first, my mother is better for this thing. ”

This dead woman obviously diverted the topic by herself! I reluctantly spread my hands, "Can I keep it a secret for the time being?" ”

"No way!" The dead woman shook her head without hesitation.

"Well, it's not a big deal." I smiled indifferently, "I remember that when I was leaving, I once mentioned to you a little about the situation in my hometown, do you remember?" ”

"Of course I do." Lin Zhiyan nodded, "You said that your hometown is located in a remote valley with a small population, and your family is surnamed 'Ye'. There are also two families with the surname 'Zhang' and the surname 'Li'. They were self-sufficient in the village that lived in that valley, and they never interacted with the outside world, and their own family members were not allowed to go out. ”

"Not bad." I groaned and said slowly, "With my current experience, these rules are too suspicious. I've even been suspecting lately that my hometown has something to do with a series of cases that the detective agency is investigating. ”

"Which serial case?" Lin Zhiyan asked without thinking.

"Old Man Chen!" I spit it out word by word.

Suddenly, her face became wonderful. First stunned, then surprised, and finally stared at me with dead eyes, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's just speculation, after all, I've been running away from that oppressive ghost place since I was three years old. And the core secret is only known to the patriarch surnamed Ye. So when I go back this time, I want to find out completely whether the weirdness in my hometown is really because of Old Man Chen. Somewhere in his hometown, is there really a certain piece of Old Man Chen's body buried? And our night house is not the grave keeper of another cemetery of Old Man Chen. ”

looked up at Lin Zhiyan, "This reason is enough." ”

Lin Zhiyan's eyes were dull, and she nodded hesitantly for a long time, "Yes, it's enough." ”

Looking at her shocked look, I was snickering silently in the depths of my heart. Fuck old man Chen, this handsome guy never thought that the Ye family would have anything to do with him. This reason is just an excuse for a certain old and evil woman with an underdeveloped brain. I don't know much about the affairs of the Ye family, and people from the outside know more.

I insisted on coming back this time, and I did have my own purpose. However, it is not yet time to unveil it. I'm afraid that I can't even be sure that I can find that purpose.

It was a question about myself that had haunted me for many years since I was a child.

All I needed was an answer. An old mother who hasn't seen her since she was six years old, the answer to where she is.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get news of her in Night Village.

The sky was as deep blue as ever, bright and clean, as if it could wash away all impetuous souls. In this barren mountain away from the hustle and bustle of the city and pollution, breathing in the fresh air, I stretched hard.

The engine was almost cool, and the old woman and I continued to drive along the bumpy road, endlessly.

The road became more and more difficult to move forward, and at last on the fourth day, at noon, there was no trace of the dirt road. In front of the car was a reckless forest, and I couldn't drive it at all.

I silently took out my packed bag from the trunk and carried it to my back. The weight of more than 30 kilograms makes my body very uncomfortable, but everything I should bring is in it, and I can't reduce any weight. After accurate calculations, I should be able to carry the backpack into the mountains. Uh, probably.

Without any thoughts of pity and cherishing jade, the backpack prepared for the old woman Lin Zhiyan was at least more than 40 kilograms. Although this woman often pretends to be delicate and weighs only 55 kilograms, she has no fat on her body, and her physical strength is at least twice that of mine. I really don't know how this female pervert exercises.

She didn't protest, she just easily carried her backpack to her back, covered the sun with her hands and asked, "Do you want to walk from here?" ”

"Can you stop walking when you run out of roads?" I also looked around. At the end of the road is still a mountain of pine forests, interspersed with large cypress trees dozens of meters high, and under the low pine needle leaves, there is a rare path that has been deliberately covered. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to overlook that path.

Many unknown birds in the forest chirped wildly, and the breath of nature came to your ears. In the city, the forest of reinforced concrete fills everything, and nature is long gone. Only one man-made object after another remains. Is the future of human beings, at the cost of sacrificing the natural environment, progress or regression? It's getting more and more puzzling.

However, this is not ****.

Shrugging my shoulders and shaking off my useless thoughts, I motioned for the old woman to lock up the car and follow the path first.

Memory vaguely remembers this road. It's been 20 years, and I've only walked three times. The first time was when I was three years old, I was taken by my parents to escape from the village for some reason, and I was on my father's back, and it was late, and I only saw the dark shadows around me and the rapid gasping of my father. Behind us, a long line of torches chased after us, threatening to intercept the three of us.

Of course, luckily, the flame dragon stopped abruptly for some reason. One by one, the search teams withdrew. We finally escaped.

The second time was more than a decade ago. Eleven years ago, to be exact, when I was only ten years old. After my father and mother divorced, they took me back to the village. Why he came back, I still don't know. But that year, I stayed in the village for more than three months before leaving. Many of the strange customs of the village are still fresh in my memory.

Lin Zhiyan walked beside me, maybe feeling a little bored, and touched me with her shoulder, "Stinky boy, what are you thinking?" ”

"The past." I said indifferently.

She suddenly burst out laughing, "It's just a twenty-year-old kid, and he can still think about the 'past' so deeply." also put on a vicissitudes of life. You think you're seventy or eighty! ”

I glared at her angrily, "You care about me, age is not the standard for everything." Or are you ready to admit that you are very old and your real age? ”

". The old lady is only sixteen years old this year, big brother! She put her arms around me in disgust. I got goosebumps from the nausea of the skin-to-skin contact.

"I want to vomit, please stay away from me!" I struggled to pull my hand out of her plump twin peaks, chilling all over my body.

"Cut, I don't have the mentality of pity at all, I really don't know how your parents educated you little bastard!" Lin Zhiyan muttered extremely depressedly, "Is the old lady really so annoying?" ”

She pouted, and pretended to be pitiful. Suddenly, my eyes flickered, and I grabbed her hand and pulled it back hard, "Be careful!" ”

Lin Zhiyan's originally agile body suddenly lost her center of gravity under my sudden pull, and she sat down fiercely with her buttocks to the ground.

"It hurts! Xiaoye, why did you attack me suddenly! She stood up with her ass clutched, but saw me looking like I was facing an enemy, staring at something on the side of the road without blinking. Lin Zhiyan also looked over, but when her eyes also touched the thing, she suddenly shuddered.

It was a semicircular tomb, only half a man's height. But the tomb was hollowed out. There is also a sculpture with a hideous face inside. Lin Zhiyan was a little scared, she had never seen such a strange sculpture made. Even a girl who is bold enough to her level has some heart palpitations when she sees it.

I saw that this sculpture was about the size of a two-year-old baby, and its arms, arms, legs and feet were roughly the same as that of a baby. But his face was very hideous. The baby sculpture is encircled by a red belly pocket, with wide eyes and no pupils. The corners of the mouth are also smeared with a layer of vermilion red dye.

In front of the sculpture are a number of dead rats, some of which have long since rotted and emit a strong stench.

"What is this?" The old woman was instinctively a little scared. The sculpture of the baby is vivid, and the circle of lips is painted with some kind of paint, as if it has just come off the stone platform and eaten the sacrifice in front of it.

"Scared, I was scared the first time I saw it." I looked at her gloatingly, "This is the patron saint of the Night Family, who knows what it's called." It is said that they love to eat dead rats, so the villagers have always worshiped them with mouse carcasses. This thing is most taboo to be touched by the hands of the living, and I heard that it will have bad luck when it touches the statue. Hey, that's weird! ”
