The villagers dispersed from Zhu Yumin's house, Zhu Yumin looked at the three distinguished guests in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, you see you tonight...... If you don't dislike it, you will live in my house like Mr. Bai and them. ”

"Won't this be too troublesome......" Zhang Lupan looked at the not too big courtyard of Zhu Yumin's house and said with some hesitation.

"It's not going to be troublesome, it's just that it might be a little crowded." Zhu Yumin smiled honestly and said sincerely, "Mr. Bai and Mr. Ling only live in one room, and our family can still vacate two rooms, just because it is inconvenient for the three of you to live together." It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, my mother and I can borrow the next door neighbor's house. Anyway, now every household in the village has an empty room. ”

In the last sentence, Zhu Yumin said extremely bitter, and his eyes full of sourness and sadness really made people unbearable to look at.

Zhang Lupan nodded, and was about to speak, Zhao Rui suddenly answered, "Two rooms are just right, Zhao Bin and I are brothers, just sleep in one." ”

"That's great, let's settle down in my house." Zhu Yumin was extremely pleased, "Then you chat, I'll go and help prepare lunch first." ”

After Zhu Yumin walked away, they would be able to relax for a moment and chat some gossip during the day, glanced at Zhao Rui, who was silent and unsmiling, and asked Zhang Lupan during the day, "Brother Lu, why are the three of you here this time, I thought I would see two acquaintances at most." ”

"I heard from the people above that this time the matter is quite serious, so I specially brought Zhao Rui, I didn't expect to see you here, and now it seems that this matter has reached a certain level." Zhang Lupan looked at Bai Bai and smiled slightly, and couldn't help but look solemn.

Bai Bai sighed, "No, Ling Ye and I didn't expect this matter to be so tricky at first. But it's okay, since this matter has something to do with the black cat, let's end it with the last incident. ”

The black cat was mentioned during the day, but the black fog was not mentioned, firstly, it was a major matter, and secondly, it was just their speculation, and they didn't want to say it during the day, which added to the pressure in their hearts.

"I didn't expect that the matter here had anything to do with that black cat, which is really surprising." Zhang Lupan sighed, thinking that this was still a chain case, Zhang Lupan's heart was always a little heavy and uneasy, and he always felt that there might be other things happening.

After lunch, a group of five people took the Fire Temple as a benchmark and conducted the most detailed survey around the 100-meter radius of the Fire Temple.

The result was still disappointing, and the five of them worked together to find no reason for the afternoon.

Except for Ling Ye, who was all tired and sweaty, even Zhao Rui, who had a cold and ascetic face, frequently wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a handkerchief.

The sun was about to set, and the two of them collapsed to the ground during the day, and said in unison, "No, no......"

Taking a breath, he wailed with a collapsed face during the day, "Don't look for it, let's withdraw." Perhaps the strangeness of this place only manifests itself at certain times of the night. ”

Zhao Bin strongly agreed with the day's words, and the group looked at each other, and then decided to leave first.

Before entering the gate of Zhu Yumin's house, I saw the smoke billowing in the courtyard, and the moment I walked into the courtyard, a strong smell of meat came, and the two greedy ghosts of Bai Bai and Zhao Bin couldn't help but let out a saliva.

In front of the stove in the corner, Zhu Yumin and Qin Xiu'e were bending over to tacitly partner together, Zhu Yumin, who was burning wood when he heard the movement, raised his head, looked at several people and smiled hopefully, "You're back, dinner will be ready soon." ”

"Brother Zhu, what did you make so delicious?" Bai Bai asked greedily.

"Kill two local chickens, I'll stew them, the rice will be ready immediately, you wash and rest a little." After Zhu Yumin finished speaking, he turned his head and got busy again.

Although the summer is hot, the mountains are still very cool in the evening, and Zhu Yumin's family of eight people sat around a large square table, looking at the dishes that were almost full of dishes, and several people had a great appetite.

After a full meal, he took Zhang Lupan and them out of the village to walk around during the day, and went back to the room at night to stare at the two Gu worms and observe carefully.

The light emitted from the bottle last night Ling Ye was sure that he was not mistaken, although now the two Gu worms were still the same appearance of eating and sleeping and eating without any life, but Ling Ye believed that they should soon fuse the blood of the gods.

It's just that I don't know if it's one or two who can become Gu Kings? I hope it's two, so I'll be very happy during the day.

At about nine o'clock, they came back with Zhang Lupan during the day, and several people went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and when the time was almost early in the morning, the doors of the three rooms were pushed open at the same time, and the five people walked out of Zhu Yumin's house together.

Tonight, Ling Ye didn't use the blood of the gods to attract some Gu worms, there were many of them tonight, and they were bound to find the secret of the villagers' disappearance, so there were more people and more targets.

Although there are only a few hundred people in Linxi Village, the village is indeed very large, because it is built near the mountain, so the houses are built along with the mountain, and the distance between the families is even quite far apart.

The whole village was in the target area, and the five of them couldn't get together, so Ling Ye decided to divide the five people into three teams for the sake of safety.

He was alone, and the remaining four were freely combined into two teams.

Ling Ye wanted to see if Zhang Lupan would deliberately choose the first team during the day, but he didn't expect that before Zhang Lupan could speak, Zhao Rui said directly: "I'm with Zhao Bin." ”

Zhang Lupan smiled helplessly, turned to look at Bai Bai and said, "Then it's the two of us." ”

"Okay." Although he knew that Zhang Lupan liked him, Zhang Lupan didn't say anything about this matter himself, and naturally he didn't have anything to care about during the day.

After the combination of the three teams was completed, they walked in three directions at the mouth of an alley, and before leaving, they looked at Ling Ye's back alone, and couldn't help but say: "Ling Ye, you should be careful alone." ”

"Hmm." Ling Ye nodded, smiling softly at the day, and the love in his eyes could be seen by almost anyone.

Of course, among the few people present, only Zhao Rui didn't know what happened between the day and the night, but even so, Zhao Rui felt that Ling Ye's eyes seemed a little strange.

Zhang Lupan and Bai Bai walked on a relatively flat street, thinking of Zhang Lupan's helpless smile just now, Bai Bai couldn't help asking: "Brother Lu, Zhao Rui always deliberately stays with Zhao Bin, is it ......?"

Zhang Lupan nodded, and sighed a little wistfully, "The fact that Zhao Bin likes me can be said to have spread all over the four major families. Others were surprised, but this is all Zhao Bin's own business, but Zhao Bin's family definitely doesn't think so. Zhao Rui deliberately found me to quarrel because of this, and after learning that I didn't mean that to Zhao Bin at all, Zhao Rui's evil fire subsided, and just told me not to pay attention to Zhao Bin, just when he went crazy. ”

"They definitely didn't expect Zhao Bin's heart to be so resolute."

"yes!" Zhang Lupan smiled bitterly in distress, "Zhao Rui, they thought that Zhao Bin would stop if he couldn't get my response for a while, but he didn't expect it to be almost a year, although Zhao Bin was not like before, his attitude did not soften at all, but became more determined." ”

During the day, he grinned weakly, thinking of his previous cheering for Zhao Bin, he always felt sorry for Zhang Lupan.

"Brother Lu, Zhao Bin used to be a child, and slowly he will mature. When he becomes mature and rational, he will deal with this problem with the most rational and serious attitude, whether it is to persist or give up, or to wait silently, this is Zhao Bin's choice of his own feelings, and we should respect him. During the day, he was also trying to persuade Zhang Lupan, and he always felt that because of Zhao Bin's liking, Zhang Lupan seemed to be carrying a very heavy shackle.

"You're right, I haven't been able to figure it out before, I feel irritable when I think of it, I feel that Zhao Bin has brought me a lot of trouble, and even often anger Zhao Bin and never give him a good look. But later, I found that I was very selfish in doing this, I only stood in my position to magnify my feelings, but never considered Zhao Bin's anxiety, apprehension, panic, and even humbleness. ”

"So, what is Brother Lu going to do now?" During the day, Zhang Lupan was very surprised to say this, thinking of Zhao Bin's obviously brighter smile than before, he was very relieved during the day.

"Let it be, let him like it if he likes it, I convey my meaning, and what to do after that is his own business. Since I regard him as a younger brother, even if his feelings for me change, he is still my younger brother in my heart, and my love for him will not change because of this. ”

"Brother Lu, you are such a good person." During the day, he sighed heartily, but he didn't want to unconsciously send a good person card to Zhang Lupan.

Sure enough, when he heard the words of the day, Zhang Lupan couldn't cry or laugh, and when he pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh at himself, he found that the sincere gaze in the day's eyes suddenly turned the corners of his lips into a helpless wry smile.

After walking quietly for a while, Zhang Lupan suddenly asked, "Are you okay with Ling Ye?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Bai was stunned, suddenly his footsteps stopped in place, he looked at Zhang Lupan with a shocked face, saw the smile on Zhang Lupan's face, and scratched his head a little embarrassed during the day, "Brother Lu, you know everything, did Zhao Bin tell you." ”

"Oh, so Zhao Bin knows about this?" Zhang Lupan raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and smiled calmly in his slightly cramped expression during the day, "I don't need Zhao Bin to tell me, I just suddenly figured it out on the way back that day." ”

During the day, I knew what day Zhang Lupan was referring to on the way back, but I didn't know how he suddenly figured it out, but this kind of embarrassing question would never be asked during the day.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I didn't tell you in advance." Said slightly apologetically during the day.

"It's okay...... Zhang Lupan said lightly, looking ahead with the same faint expression, but he keenly saw a lonely shadow in his eyes during the day.
