The more you can't see your surroundings clearly, the easier it is for people to be afraid, and the slightest wind and grass can make people nervous. I don't know how many miles I've walked, and I seem to be tired of the unknown and nervous.

Considering whether there was danger ahead, Guan Yang walked in front instead of Shi Wei. And behind, the injured Momo's face became more and more ugly, Guo Enming struggled to support her, staggering, accidentally tripped over a stone, and the two of them rolled to the ground. Guo Enming immediately got up from the ground and wanted to help Mo Mo up, and everyone gathered around to help.

"It's hot." As soon as Cao Xi touched Mo Mo, he felt that her body was hot. She immediately ripped Momo's pants open, her calves were already blackened, and there was a foul smell in her face, the meat was no longer meat, it had been eroded, and there were white foam floating on the surface, and she felt disgusting when she looked at it more.

Cao Xi reacted intuitively: "She won't be able to hold on!" ”

She grabbed Shi Wei and became nervous: "The wound is already infected, if it goes on like this, let alone her legs, it is estimated that she will not even be able to save her life!" ”

Shi Wei held her hand and asked her to calm down.

Cao Xi looked at them incomprehensibly, Guan Yang had already picked up Mo Mo. She was as lifeless as if she had lost her breath, and her whole body hung limply in Guan Yang's arms.

"Let's find a room and go in and rest for a while." Guan Yang said as he led everyone forward.

"Let's go over first, and we'll talk about the rest of the matter." Shi Wei put her on Cao Xi's shoulders and asked her to go over together.

And going further seems to be deeper into the town, farther and farther away from the way back.

Cao Xi's footsteps became heavy, and he grabbed Shi Wei: "Don't you think about going back now?" Maybe you can save Momo when you go back to the city, and you can't waste any more time. ”

Shi Wei looked at her, and gently brushed away a few strands of messy hair stuck in front of her with her right hand: "It's okay, she'll get through it." ”

Then she took Cao Xi's hand and continued to walk forward with her. And the withered grass around him was always swaying in the wind, making a panicked crumbling sound.

By the time they entered an old house in front of them, it was already getting dark.

There was no fog in the house and visibility was much better. Everyone finally unloaded their tense nerves and took a break for a while.

"Can you find something to make a fire?" Guan Yang put down Momo and asked.

"I'm afraid it's a little hard."

Everyone glanced at each other, and at this moment, no one dared to go out easily in the fog outside. Shi Wei carefully inspected the room, and there was a light bulb hanging on the roof, which was not broken. There seemed to be a switch at the doorway, and she checked it, but she couldn't turn it on.

"Guan Yang, let's see if there is any way."

Guan Yang took a closer look at the line and found that it was still intact, but it was only possible that the power had been completely cut off in this place, so the lights could not be lit.

"If the weather is good, I can still go and see if there is a substation, think of a way, and now this ghost weather, forget it." Guan Yang stepped back to the side and squatted on the ground.

Guo Enming laid out a moisture-proof mat and blanket for Momo, and let her lie down, the weather has begun to cool down, and if there is no fire to keep warm, I don't know how this night will go on. Fortunately, everyone still has a flashlight in their bag, Guo Enming took out a flashlight and pointed it at the wall, magnifying the light, and the room finally brightened up.

Shi Wei called Xiao Jing a few times into the walkie-talkie, but there was still no response.

It feels like hope is getting slimmer.

"Will something happen to him?" Cao Xi asked uneasily.

"No, don't think about it." Shi Wei smiled in front of him and replied, "He is the most experienced person in the outdoors here, and he is very measured." ”

"Then why hasn't there been any news?"

"Maybe, it's just that the signal is not good, and when he can receive it, he will definitely reply to me in time."

Shi Wei comforted Cao Xi, while Mo Mo on the other side had already fallen asleep, and the expression on his face was much calmer.

……

"Hello, welcome to Choose Technologies."

"Hello, I would like to apply to manage ID956637's social accounts."

"Please wait." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "What is the name of the ID user?" ”

"Cao Xi."

"What is your relationship with her?"

"I'm her guardian."

"Mr. Name?"

"Luo Xin."

"I'm sorry, but the guardian information of the user is not Luo Xin on my side."

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, he was indeed not her guardian, but her patron. He held his forehead helplessly, why did he refuse to raise him at that time? However, who would have thought that she would one day enter Shuixi Village?

"And who is her guardian information?"

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient for us to disclose any users' private information."

Luo Xin hung up the phone, but he couldn't stop there, how did those people contact Cao Xi and bring her into Shuixi Village, he had to know.

At that time, I still had a little connection with the choose company, but now it seems that I can only rely on one person to maintain it.

He pulled out his phone and started looking for the man.

"Can you help me look something up first?"

"In such a hurry?"

"Yes, I want to access an account and check the chat history."

The other party was quiet for a while, and then replied: "The account can't give you a password to log in, and it is easy to have problems logging in from other places." ”

"Then you know how to do it?"

"I can give you a copy of the data backed up in the background."

"Can you still find out?"

"Don't doubt my abilities, or I'll live on them."

Luo Xin chuckled, and the other party immediately sent another message: "Account." ”

“ID956637。”

Luo Xin just wanted to ask how long it would take to find out, but the other party had already replied to him: "I will receive it in half an hour." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, half an hour, great.

In the past two days, Luo Xin has no intention of working, and all he thinks about is "Shuixi Village". At that time, when he learned about this place from Ma Hui's mouth, he once asked Professor Cao if he could go and find out if he could find this place.

But Professor Cao told him to focus on research, and the hospital was only superficial.

He couldn't be busy with work and research, and could only occasionally learn about some rare news from the Internet, until Cao Xi entered the village this time, he felt that this village was so close to him for the first time.

At the moment when I was in a daze, I received a message.

"What does Cao Xi have to do with you?" The other party asked.

"The person I sponsor is an orphan."

"What a coincidence."

"What do you mean?" Luo Xin was suddenly interested.

"The people you asked me to check are all orphans, and there is no registration of immediate family members, and they are all information about adopters."

Luo Xin suddenly felt that the situation was a little delicate.

"Cao Xi chatted a lot with a vivian person, and this account is Shi Wei."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'll pack the content and send it to you." After the other party finished speaking, another one came, "The information of those college students has also been packaged for you." ”

"So fast?"

"There's no substantive information, I said, they're all orphans."

"Okay, thanks."

"Don't forget to give me cash." The other person said, "A few drinks by the way." ”

"Okay."

Luo Xin put down his phone, waited for the content to be transferred, and then moved it to the computer. Opening the chat history of Cao Xi and Shi Wei, their communication has lasted for more than a year, and it has been particularly frequent in the past six months. Judging from their conversations, the two of them can talk very well, and it is not surprising that they have become friends with Cao Xi's character.

However, this Shi Wei does not seem to be simple. President of the Student Council, excellent grades. Those partners are so special.

According to them, how did such an excellent person find Cao Xi as a friend and take her out?

Luo Xin had to think that maybe it was a premeditation, maybe there was some connection here...... Why are they all orphans......

Just as he was thinking, his phone suddenly rang, as if to give him a hint.

"Do you want another copy of Shi Wei's information? You will definitely be interested. ”

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”

"You know, if you want it, you can add money, if you don't, I won't give it."

Now that you've whetted your appetite, how could you not want to?

"Absolutely."

The other party was very proud and brought him another document.

"It looks like I can have a few more drinks next, and I don't have to worry about it."

"Ready to quit drinking?"

"Hehe, it's just a little thought."

After the document was accepted, the other party was about to go offline: "I hope that one day when I wake up, someone will remember me." ”

"Wu Shan?"

Before Luo Xin could ask him what he meant, he was already offline. And some of the content prepared in the document made Luo Xin fall into deeper confusion again.

……

Once again, the night came silently.

In the dim light, Shi Wei took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to Cao Xi. Cao Xi took the notebook and was a little surprised.

"You can watch." "But how much you can read, I can't guarantee." ”

Cao Xi carefully flipped it over, and it was indeed some data recorded, and she couldn't understand those symbols and codes, like formulas for decomposition.

She flipped through several pages and found a similar symbol "S" in it. It often appears, and it is also specially marked to make it look more eye-catching.

"What does this 'S' mean?" Cao Xi asked.

Shi Wei and the others glanced at each other, looked at her and replied, "This is an experimental project, codenamed 'S'." ”

“S？” Cao Xi thought for a moment, "Shuixi Village, the beginning of water? ”

Shi Wei lowered her head and smiled: "It's possible." ”

Cao Xi felt that he might have thought simply, and denied himself: "I guessed blindly." ”

"It's fine." Shi Wei looked at her, "Have you seen this sign before?" ”

"This?" Cao Xi thought about it carefully, this was the first time she had seen it, "No." ”

Shi Wei exchanged glances with the others: "I know you are an orphan, who is your adopter, do you know?" ”

"Adopters?" Cao Xi didn't expect her to ask about this suddenly, after all, in their exchanges these days, they didn't talk about this issue. "Why do you ask?"

"Because, we are all orphans." Shi Wei replied.

Cao Xi looked at a few of them in surprise, including Mo Mo, who had fallen asleep: "You are all of you?" ”

"Yes." Shi Wei replied, "You are also the only orphan I know whose birth parents are unknown. ”

"I ......," Cao Xi smiled awkwardly, "I don't know any of this myself." ”

"It's okay, I'm just asking." Shi Wei's expression was a little serious, "Your caregiver is Cao Qimin, Professor Cao, right?" ”

Cao Xi was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling nervous: "You, how did you know?" ”

"Your sponsor is Luo Xin, this relationship is a bit complicated."

"Huh?" Cao Xi stood up suddenly, looking a little flustered, "What are you doing here?" ”

Shi Wei stood up unhurriedly, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just happened to see it when I was helping the teacher sort out the student files." ”

Cao Xi eased up a little, but she was still a little puzzled, feeling that it was not an accident that she could be found to walk with her.

"Then you came here, does it have anything to do with me?"

"It has something to do with each of us."

Shi Wei approached Cao Xi, took off her coat, and slowly unbuttoned the shirt on her chest with her slender fingers, revealing the protruding collarbone under her slender neck. Her fair skin reflected the light, making it look more delicate. Her fingertips stopped on her chest, lifted the shirt on her chest, and confided the skin on her chest in front of Cao Xi's eyes.

"What is this?"

Shi Wei turned sideways and put her chest in front of the light, so that Cao Xi could see more clearly. It was an imprint, dark brown, bent to form a clear "S".

"Is it a tattoo?"

"No, it's a birthmark." Shi Wei replied.

"How is that so clear? It's the same as the one that was deliberately drawn. Shi Wei grabbed Cao Xi's hand and touched it lightly with her hand, her fingers touched a person's skin like this for the first time, and the feeling was so smooth and soft that she unconsciously became nervous.

The pattern really doesn't have the abruptness of a tattoo, it's like it's innate, it's really a birthmark......

Shi Wei let go of Cao Xi's hand, from nervous to relaxed, which made her magically let go of her guard, slack off all over, and only looked at the person in front of her with gentle eyes.

Shi Wei smiled slightly, turned to face the others, and Cao Xi followed her gaze to look at the other two.

Guo Enming accepted her gaze, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and exposed his arms. There is also an identical mark on his arm, exactly the same as Shi Wei's.

And Guan Yang laughed embarrassedly: "I have it too, here." He gestured below the back of his shoulder.

Cao Ximu sneered and set his gaze on the sleeping Momo.

Guo Enming helped Momo up and unbuttoned her clothes, which also had the same mark on her right arm.

Although these imprints are all in different positions, their patterns are all similar, extremely similar, which can't help but make Cao Xi at a loss: is there any relationship between them?

"That'...... Does Xiao Jing have it too? ”

Shi Wei nodded: "Each of us has it." ”

"But ......" Cao Xi shook his head, "I don't, I don't seem to have this on me......"

Shi Wei buttoned up her clothes: "We show you, not that we hope you have it, but to confess our identity to you, and hope that you can take off your guard against us." ”

This sudden remark surprised Cao Xi a little, but it made her even more happy.

"Why me?"

"Because you're different."
