Chapter Forty-Eight: The End
The rain was still falling outside the window, the frogs and birds were quiet, only the autumn wind and the rain kept knocking on the glass window, making a crisp sound.
Ye Baiyu, Xia Beifeng, Su Yang, and Zhanfeng sat on the ground around a fire in the house, looking at a few black things in the fire, and from time to time someone asked, "When will it be okay?" ”
The rain for several days in a row made it wet everywhere, and even the quilts in this house were damp, which made people feel upset when they stayed in the house.
And now, the burning fire has dispelled the moisture in the house, and the whole room is warm, making people a little drowsy.
"Master, why didn't I know before, you would still have such a high-end technology as painless abortion."
When Xia Beifeng said this, he was stretching out his hand to warm up on the fire in front of him, and as he spoke, he glanced back at Yue Yao who was lying on the bed behind him.
Yue Yao was falling asleep on the bed with the quilt in her arms, bending over and curling into a ball, like a vigilant animal. Her face was not much paler than white paper, a bundle of long hair tied into a strand and casually placed on a pillow, a transparent tear hung from the corner of her eye, and a neat row of tooth marks on her lower lip, still faintly oozing blood.
"How many things do you know?" Ye Baiyu raised his head and glanced at Xia Beifeng, carried an arrow and poked the things in the fire a few times, and asked him again, "When will this thing be good?" ”
"Wait a little longer, it'll be almost ripe." Xia Beifeng snatched the black arrow from Ye Baiyu's hand and held it in front of his eyes for a while.
The arrow had been bent into an even parabola, and the tip of the arrow was still emitting a wisp of black smoke and a strange burnt smell.
"Master......" Xia Beifeng stared at Ye Baiyu intently, "Can you tell me, where did you get this thing?" ”
"You've got it in your bag."
Ye Baiyu looked at him calmly. There was no trace of shame on his face at all.
Xia Beifeng sighed helplessly, resisted the urge to jump up and strangle Ye Baiyu now, and used the arrow in his hand as a burning stick like a broken jar, and stretched out to the fire to stir the charcoal in the fire.
"I said, is it really okay for us to make a fire in the house like this?" Xia Beifeng turned the charcoal, and asked without raising his head, "Do the police comrades also care?" ”
"Didn't Dao Chang Ye say that he was in a hurry to burn that thing?" Su Yang also approached the fire. Staring at the round object that was rolling in the fire, he said indifferently: "Isn't it impossible to light a fire outside, then you can only light a fire in the house." The four of us adults can't burn down the house anyway, just put out the fire when it's used up, it should be fine...... Hey, when will it be okay? ”
"Almost, Master, will you taste it first?" Xia Beifeng said as he hooked something out of the fire with an arrow, and looked up at Su Yang again, "You also know that it was used to burn that thing." How dare you eat what is roasted out of this fire? ”
The thing rolled around on the ground a few times, leaving a black mark before it stopped, still smoking. There were tiny gaps in the charred shell of the thing, revealing something light-colored inside.
"Then what's not to dare." Su Yang asked in surprise.
Zhan Feng raised his forehead and added on the side: "Comrade Su Yang, but a strong man who can eat bloody steak while studying the internal organs of the deceased in front of the corpse soaked in formalin!" ”
Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and continued to watch the fire. No more asking.
Ye Baiyu picked up the thing from the ground and broke it in half. Handedly handed half of it to Xia Beifeng.
"It should be ready to eat."
It was a white potato with a burnt skin, and the moment the crispy shell was broken, it emitted a rich aroma that quickly spread throughout the room, arousing people's appetite.
Xia Beifeng handed the arrow to Su Yang and took the white potato handed by Ye Baiyu. Then with a quick shake of his hand, he almost dropped the half of the sweet potato to the ground.
"it...... It's hot. ”
Ye Baiyu looked at Xia Beifeng expressionlessly, chewed what was in his mouth, and swallowed it again.
After a few seconds, he finally couldn't hold back and laughed.
"Little North. You trust me so much, I'll give it to you and you'll take it. ”
Xia Beifeng found two pieces of paper to pad his hands, picked up the half of the sweet potato again, and glanced at Ye Baiyu with a complicated mood.
Still really want to hit him.
What kind of person is it...... Ah no, youkai are willing to marry this guy!
That girl must be a philanthropist.
Xia Beifeng discussed in his heart for a while, and waited until the roasted white potato in his hand was finally cooler, and then lowered his head and took a bite.
He chewed on something in his mouth a few times, and suddenly remembered something again.
"Master, how dare you that Yue Yao will listen to you honestly after a sleep, or do you give him some strange medicine for her?"
"It's illegal to give medicine to someone else." Su Yang added in time, and after holding back for a while, he asked again: "But what kind of medicine is Ye Daochang, what kind of medicine is that, so spiritual." ”
"It's just an ordinary sleeping pill, let her sleep well again." Ye Baiyu replied calmly.
"No, it won't." Zhan Feng also raised his head and interjected: "That girl took some sleeping pills, and her brain will be fine?" ”
"Not really." Ye Baiyu smiled as she spoke, and pulled out a small yellow note from under Yue Yao's pillow, "She was probably scared by this." ”
Su Yang glanced at it curiously, and there was a strange dark red pattern on the note, but he didn't know what it meant.
"What is this?" Su Yang asked.
"It's just a little bit of a gadget."
Ye Baiyu smiled and threw the rune paper into the fire, raised his head with a smile, and said to Su Yang: "Officer Su, do you have any enemies?" If you have one, you can buy one and give it to him in a sleeping sachet to ensure that he has a good night's sleep and sleeps until dawn, and he will not get up at night. ”
The rune paper burst into flames, and after a few sounds, it quickly bent into a roll of paper, and then into a pile of paper ashes.
Zhan Feng looked at Ye Baiyu's "pure" expression, and couldn't help but shudder.
Unexpectedly, Su Yang didn't know why he was excited when he heard this, and moved directly to Ye Baiyu's side. lowered his head and began to discuss something with Ye Baiyu in a whisper.
Ye Baiyu also quickly mingled with Su Yang, and as he spoke, he took out a few charms from his pocket and showed them to Su Yang.
The two of them were discussing a bunch of things that were playing tricks, and they didn't avoid people, and they let out some weird laughter from time to time, and they didn't look like good people.
Zhan Feng was holding a roasted white potato, and suddenly felt a little cold while eating.
It just so happened that Su Yang raised his head and smiled at him as he spoke. He also nodded his head twice.
Zhan Feng was furious by his glance, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stood up with a "rub".
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Beifeng took out the last roasted white potato from the fire, held it up in front of Ye Baiyu, looked up at Zhan Feng who was standing opposite the fire, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you stand up suddenly?" ”
"Uh...... I just suddenly remembered something...... "Zhan Feng's eyes rolled twice, and after holding it for a while, he really remembered something very important, "Let's wait for the afternoon when that little girl wakes up and will leave, right?" ”
Xia Beifeng nodded and threw the scrapped arrow back into the fire.
"It just occurred to me that the car we were driving when we came was stuck in the mud. Now we have to find a way to get it out. Zhan Feng nodded firmly at Xia Beifeng, took out the car key from his pocket and walked out the door.
"It's raining outside, you're going out now?" Su Yang glanced at the branches swaying in the rain outside the window, turned his head, and looked at Zhan Feng with a neurotic look.
"It's okay, I'll just bring an umbrella." Zhan Feng said and opened the door, waving his hand at Su Yang, "You keep eating, I'll come back when I go." ”
A cold wind blew through the door. The fire on the ground was blown a few times, and the three people who remained in the house couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly.
"I'll help him." Xia Beifeng stood up with a smile. Looking down at the two people gathered next to the fire, he nodded, "You talk slowly, we won't be back until a long time, you two have to be careful not to set the house on fire." ”
The police car was not easy to handle, and it took Zhanfeng more than half an hour to drag his wheels out of the mud. So in the end, it was Xia Beifeng's friendly support that allowed him to successfully drive the car out of the mud.
Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Yao woke up, and the rain still did not stop.
A few people discussed it. I decided not to wait for the rain to stop, anyway, it wasn't raining much now, so I just left it at that.
As a missing person, Yue Yao naturally got into the police car and went home with the police uncles.
Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu stood at the entrance of the village. watched the police car fade away in the rain until it disappeared.
Ye Baiyu opened the car door, sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, looked at Xia Beifeng who was sorting out the trunk, and asked him with a smile: "I said hello to your little brother and said goodbye?" ”
Xia Beifeng nodded, raised his hand and closed the rear door.
"Actually, I really should thank him, if he hadn't told me the story of the prodigy born by the god of the mountain, I wouldn't have thought about it at all...... However, what kind of energy is that guy tossing around all day long, a good mountain god is not appropriate, and he has to come out to reincarnate as a human being if he has nothing to do, what is the picture, is it fun? ”
"It's really fun." Ye Baiyu looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed, "He, at the beginning, he actually wanted to leave the place where he should stay and go around, but later, he did a lot for this reason...... Something that makes me unhappy, hehe. ”
"How did you two get a feud before?" Xia Beifeng touched his chin and asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of heart-wrenching thing did he do, he was able to provoke your old man to do it himself." ”
"That's all it takes...... It's hard to say. Ye Baiyu smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from the car, took out one himself, and threw it to Xia Beifeng, "It's a bit troublesome to explain the previous things, so don't ask, just shut up and smoke." ”
"But ......" Ye Baiyu said after a while: "The last time I came here, the people here didn't have a good life, and everyone worshiped him like a demon, so it's not wrong for me to clean him up." ”
Xia Beifeng lowered his head and said "um", and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head again and asked, "Speaking of which, my bow, how are you going to compensate?" ”
Ye Baiyu stared at Xia Beifeng in surprise for a while, and saw that he didn't have any special reaction, and finally said deflatedly: "Go back and buy you a new one, okay!" ”
Xia Beifeng nodded with satisfaction, turned around and opened the car door.
"Oh, yes." Ye Baiyu shouted to Xia Beifeng before he closed the car door, "Where are you going to go in the future?" ”
"Just hang out, what's the matter?"
"If you don't have anything important, why don't you go home first?" Ye Baiyu spit out a puff of cigarette, looked at the rearview mirror in the car, and spit out a puff of cigarette, "There may be something going on at home, and you haven't been home for a long time." ”
Xia Beifeng was immediately attracted by these words, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not good to say now, I just feel a little bit of it, you can find out when you go back." Ye Baiyu smiled heartlessly at this Xia Beifeng, "I still have to go to the south, and I can't take care of it at home, so you can honestly go home and stay for two months." ”
When Xia Beifeng heard his words, he instantly felt even more bottomless in his heart, but it was estimated that Ye Baiyu would not say anything if he continued to ask, so he had to reluctantly respond and turn around and get into the car.
"Ah, yes." Before Xia Beifeng stepped on the accelerator, Ye Baiyu shouted at him loudly: "Remember when you go home...... Small, heart, car! ”
Xia Beifeng stretched out a middle finger from the car window, signaling that he heard it, and then stepped on the accelerator, reversed the car and turned around, and drove towards the road.
When his car started, it splashed half of Ye Baiyu's car.
Ye Baiyu extinguished the cigarette butt and sighed.
"Alas, the child has grown up and is disobedient!"
"Xiaobei, it's okay for him to be alone."
A girl who looked eighteen or nineteen years old sat in the passenger seat next to Ye Baiyu at some point, looking at the direction of Xia Bei's windmill, frowning slightly, with a worried look on her face.
"No problem, that little thing can't bother him, at most let him get hurt a little, and there is a child at home." Ye Baiyu closed the car door with a smile and reached out to touch the top of the girl's head.
"The most important thing now is to get you an ID card first."
The girl lowered her head and looked at the dashboard of the car that lit up, frowned and thought for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "I think I still don't understand you humans." ”
"It's okay, I don't understand." Ye Baiyu held the steering wheel, stared at the windshield wipers dangling in front of him, and smiled: "I've been a human for so many years and haven't understood, of course it's normal for you to not understand, so you just need to follow me." ”
On the rain-soaked road, a white car sped by, leaving two wheel marks on the road, which were quickly re-covered by the rain and restored to its original state.
And the stories that have happened in the past few days have also disappeared into the rushing river with this endless autumn rain and flowed into the distance.
