And turning his gaze from the villa in the middle of the mountain back to the peaceful and busy town of Hejia, when Mr. Demon was doing an unexplained surveillance work on the mountain, Liu Yanshi, disguised as a civil servant, had already begun to act in the town.

What she does is simple. Nothing more than knocking on the door of the house, claiming to be a staff member of the Environmental Sanitation Supervision Office, as usual, came to ask some questions about the status of household sanitation treatment, and at the same time collected feedback from the public: when she showed her badge with her headshot, the residents of Hejia Township let the young and beautiful girl in the door with almost no suspicion.

On the surface, it is to check whether there are hidden dangers in the safety and health of the house, but in fact, he often chats with the owner intentionally or unintentionally about the parents, and unconsciously can get a lot of personal information.

And Li Lijuan is the seventeenth family visited.

When she entered the door, Liu Yanshi habitually wanted to take off her shoes, and Li Lijuan hurriedly waved her hand: "The floor at home is not clean, don't be careful, just come in." ”

Liu Yanwei blinked, looked around, and said:

"I think it's pretty clean, it's neatly packed." She smiled: "Auntie should be very good at housekeeping, right?" ”

Li Lijuan was a little embarrassed: "No." When the man went up to the mountain to collect medicine, I did some chores. ”

Liu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he pretended to ask casually:

"Aunt Li's husband, is his surname He?"

"That's right, seven out of ten men in our town have the surname He. I was married from a nearby county......"

"Really?" Yan Shi smiled and asked casually: "The house is so clean, the life of the couple should be very harmonious, right?" How old is Uncle Auntie's baby this year? ”

Liu Yanshi used a trick of clichés, she actually didn't know if Li Lijuan had children, but she just guessed that Li Lijuan was in her forties this year and had a husband, and planned to open Li Lijuan's chatterbox.

Who knows, as soon as these words were asked, Li Lijuan's face changed, as if she had been poked in the sore spot, and her eyes darkened a little.

"My child had an accident a few days ago and is gone."

Liu Yanshi's heart twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to ......"

"It's fine." Li Lijuan sat on the chair, a little depressed, and smiled bitterly:

"It's also my bad life, half a month ago I quarreled with the kid, he was angry and went up the mountain, I thought he would come back in the evening, but I sent people up the mountain to find people for several days and couldn't see anyone, until a few days ago, someone caught him in the river...... A good person, just gone......"

When she said this, Li Lijuan's eyes had already begun to redden. Rubbing his eyes, he choked up and said, "People in the town say that the child is a mountain ghost......"

Liu Yanshi was stunned: "Does such a thing as a mountain ghost really exist?" ”

"There has always been this saying in the town, every year there are many children who go up to the mountains to play, play all night, and then disappear the next day...... We locals don't go up the mountain at night...... I should have stopped that kid from running away from home......"

Liu Yanshi thought that Zuo Cai was still hanging on the mountain at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried, and then thought that he had touched someone else's sadness, and felt even more guilty, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Li Lijuan, and patted her back gently.

"It's me who is not good, and I shouldn't have asked about this......"

Li Lijuan shook her head:

"It's all a private matter at home, listening to me nag so much, it's hard for you, girl."

"Nothing." Liu Yanshi smiled reluctantly, turned his head to look at the house again, and suddenly felt a little more empty. She pursed her lips and asked:

"Auntie, can I take a look at your child's room?"

……

The room was small and neatly packed. The owner has been dead for more than half a month, but he can't see the dust.

"After Siming left, I cleaned up this room every day, and I just wiped it clean, and everything was untouched."

Li Lijuan leaned against the door and muttered a little distractedly.

Liu Yanshi walked softly into the room, looked around, and saw rows of awards on the wall.

He Siming...... This is hereby issued as an encouragement. ”

There are many awards, three good students, excellent grades, good moral character, from primary school to the third year of high school, when Liu Yanshi saw that He Siming's high school certificate was signed by Guangzhou Xiaoguang Middle School, the expression on his face changed slightly.

The young light is also the school that Shi Zuo only attended. Counting up, He Siming is still a senior in the first year.

There are many books stacked on the shelves next to the wall, and after a cursory sweep, seven or eight out of ten are related to astronomical and astronomical phenomena. Liu Yanshi asked with some confusion:

"Auntie, do your children like astronomy very much?"

"Yes." Li Siming snorted and said with a wry smile: "Let you see the smile, this kid has always been very well-behaved, studying and working hard, but I don't know what to do in the past few years, I became obsessed with astronomy, and I wasted all my time all day long, and it is said that he was also the president of an astronomical society in school......

Liu Yanshi shook his head:

"I think that's good. It's not an unsightly thing to have your own interests......"

She just said it casually, but she didn't know that this sentence seemed to poke Li Lijuan's sore spot again.

"What you don't understand, what you don't understand...... Girl. She lost her mind and cried out:

"This kid is good at everything, but it's just that he is obsessed with astronomy that hurts him...... Every day, he said that he wanted to save money to buy some telescope books, and he refused to use his living expenses, and his breakfast and lunch were not delicious, so he ate two steamed buns on his stomach - I still asked his classmates to find out...... In the past three years, the whole person has lost weight several times, his height has not grown, and his academic performance is not as good as before...... I've argued with him many times over this......"

"The day he left, too...... I had a big fight with me because of astronomical matters, so I ran away from home...... What the hell is good about astronomy! I couldn't make a lot of money, and my family worked hard to bring him up, and spent so much effort for him to go to the city to study, but it turned out to be like this...... I worked hard for most of my life and saved tens of thousands of yuan, wanting him to go to a better university, but now it's all gone...... People are gone...... The money is gone...... It's all fate......"

Liu Yanshi's pupils contracted slightly, and he turned his head.

"Auntie...... You just said that the money is gone, what's going on? ”

"It's nothing." Li Lijuan wiped her tears and smiled lightly, there was a bit of incomprehensible relief in her smile, and Liu Yanshi felt bad.

"After Siming left, I would dream of him every day, crawling out of the river dripping with blood, and there was blood on his hands, body, and mouth...... My friend introduced me to a traveling master who was temporarily living on the mountain, and the master was very good, and he said everything right, and pointed out that Simina Wa'er was haunted by mountain ghosts, and there was no peace below, so she had to destroy her wealth and eliminate disasters...... After donating all the money left for Siming's tuition to the incense money, I never had a dream like that again......"

Liu Yan's eyes widened, stunned.
