Ye August's sanity not only did not make Ling Heng feel relieved, but instead made him feel more and more unfamiliar with Ye August.

Ling Heng was thinking, in fact, he and Ye August were not very familiar with each other, and during the time that Ye August was his assistant, he didn't know much about Ye August's true inner world.

But what made Ling Heng even more depressed was that compared to Ye August, he knew even less about Ye Ji.

This feeling suddenly made Ling Heng feel like a fool, he already had some doubts about what he was chasing for a hundred years.

Ling Heng didn't speak again, and in the darkening sky, the two of them went out of the city in silence all the way.

Following the directions of the navigation, it was still more than an hour away from their destination, Vasi Village.

Ling Heng looked at his watch and asked casually, "Are you hungry?" We'll get to the service station later, and we'll have something to eat first. ”

Ye August did not answer.

Ling Heng immediately looked at her, and it turned out that Ye August had fallen asleep leaning back in a chair.

Ling Heng pulled out a wry smile helplessly, he didn't know why he wanted to find an assistant, but this feeling of having someone by his side made him feel inexplicably at ease, and then thinking of Ye August's body and the existence of Ye Ji, he felt that he was still lucky.

After more than half the journey, Ling Heng stopped at the service station.

As soon as the car stopped, Ye August suddenly woke up.

"Have you arrived?" Ye August rubbed his eyes and asked.

"Not yet, this is the service station, I need to refuel. Let's all get off the bus and have a bite to eat here. After Ling Heng finished speaking, he got out of the car first.

Ye August looked outside in a daze, and stretched his waist before coming down.

Ling Heng entered the house first, and when he turned around and saw Ye August coming from the night, it seemed that he saw the shadow of Ye Ji on her body for a moment.

There was actually nothing to eat in the service area, the night breeze was slightly cool, Ling Heng bought two buckets of instant noodles, and sat with Ye August at a simple small dining table against the window.

Ye August was not picky, and was about to unscrew a bottle of mineral water when Ling Heng suddenly snatched the bottle from her hand.

"What are you doing?" Ye August asked in amazement.

"I'll unscrew it for you." Ling Heng said with a cold face.

"I can unscrew the ...... myself" Ye August didn't appreciate it, and reached out to grab the bottle.

Ling Heng took advantage of his height to raise his arm, "Okay, unscrew it." ”

Looking at the mineral water handed to his mouth, Ye August reluctantly took it, and muttered in a low voice, "It's not that I can't unscrew it." ”

Ling Heng ignored her muttering and helped her make noodles again.

Ling Heng's thoughtfulness made Ye August very uncomfortable, she deliberately kept a distance from Ling Heng, and there was absolutely no intention of crossing the line.

Ye August's caution was seen by Ling Heng, the reason why he treated Ye August like this was to make up for what happened last night, although it couldn't make up for anything.

The two of them finished eating in a silent and slightly embarrassed atmosphere, and before leaving, Ling Heng went through the map of Vaxi Village again, and kept the map of Vaxi Village in his heart.

He inadvertently glanced at Ye August and found that Ye August was also looking at the map of Vaxi Village, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you thinking?" ”

Ye August said as a matter of course: "I am familiar with the map of Vasi Village, so as not to get lost. ”

Ling Heng raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Do you think we're going to get lost?" ”

Ye August replied very cautiously: "Yes, in case the signal is not good and the navigation is not accurate, we are really easy to get lost." And I guess the disappearance of Cheng Tianlan's parents may also be caused by getting lost. ”

Ling Heng put away his disdain and analyzed rationally, "What you said makes sense, getting lost is probably one of the reasons for their disappearance." Sometimes the signal in the suburbs is not good, the navigation will deviate, if the unlucky encounter mobile phone no battery, car out of gas, where they are trapped, it is indeed impossible to find it for a while. ”

Ye August clasped his hands together in front of his chest, "Fortunately, the area of Vaxi Village is not large, and I hope that the police can find them one step ahead of us." ”

"You're kind." Ling Heng said quietly.

When the sun was completely sinking, Ling Heng and Ye August arrived at the entrance of Huaxi Village.

Although Vasi Village is called a village, because it is not far from the city, the economic development of the village is OK, and the village is still very lively at dinner time, and the sound of square dance music is very cheerful.

Ye August asked inquiringly: "Boss, do we still need to come into the village?" Why don't you just go around the village? ”

"Cheng Tianlan has already called the police, the police should have searched all the surroundings, there is no need for us to check around at this time." Ling Heng's tone was very calm, but the subtext was actually that it was unlikely that Cheng Zhijie and Dong Yu would get lost and disappear.

Ye August heard what Ling Heng meant, and pursed his lips slightly, embarrassed by his previous self-righteous guess.

Ling Heng continued to drive, and after a while, he stopped in front of a house.

The door of this house is also posted with the big red word "happy", and the house is brightly lit, this is the home of Cheng Zhijie's colleague, Cui Xun.

"Let's go, let's go and ask Cui Xun again, Cheng Zhijie and his wife when they came to attend the wedding."

Ling Heng tidied up the collar of his shirt slightly, and Ye August also simply pulled his hair together.

Cui Xun opened the door and saw the two of them, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Choi Hoon is less than thirty years old, and he is an ordinary straight man.

Ling Heng smiled politely: "We are friends of Dong Yu. ”

"Dong Yu? Oh, you are friends of the lover of the engineer! You must have come here for their inexplicable disappearance, right? Please come in," Cui Xun's attitude was still good, and he enthusiastically invited the two of them into the door.

Cui Xun pointed to the neat and spacious tiled house and explained: "This is my parents' house, I usually go on business trips and rarely come back, so I want to stay here for a few more days while I am on marriage leave." ”

"Now there are not many people who think about your parents as much as you, and you can see that you are a real person." Ling Heng said politely.

Ye August said softly at this time: "I'm really sorry that we took the liberty to disturb you like this, but we heard that Sister Dong Yu and Brother Zhijie were missing, so we couldn't help but come to look for them, and please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, don't be so polite. I have an inescapable responsibility for their disappearance, and if I had not invited them to come, they would not have disappeared, alas! Cui Xun sighed reproachfully, it didn't look like he was pretending.

As they spoke, they had already walked through the courtyard to the door.

As soon as Cui Xun opened the door, a not very friendly voice came from inside, "It's so late, who's here again?" ”

"Mom, it's my friend." Cui Xun said gently.

Cui Xun's mother's next words made people feel even more embarrassed, "What a friend, isn't it a mess to come to someone's house so late!" ”

"Mom, don't be afraid, there won't be any more accidents!"

Cui Xun finished talking to his mother first, and then said to Ling Heng and Ye August very embarrassedly: "Don't mind, since Brother Zhijie and his son disappeared, my mother has been scared, and she said this without intention." ”

"It's okay, we won't mind." Ling Heng smiled understandingly.

Choi Hoon also smiled awkwardly and led them to the living room.

Choi Hoon's parents' house has two bedrooms and a living room in addition to the kitchen and toilet.

The bedroom on the east side is Choi Hoon's parents' room, and the bedroom on the west side is Choi Hoon's room, which is temporarily used as their wedding room.

Cui Xun's mother walked out of the bedroom first, and Ling Heng and Ye August both looked at her.

Choi Hoon's mother's appearance greatly surprised the two of them.

According to Cui Xun's age and the customs of early marriage and early childbearing in the village, Cui Xun's mother should be about fifty years old, or even younger, but he currently looks at least seventy years old, but the old lady is slightly chubby, energetic, except for white hair and wrinkles, the mental head does not seem to be worse than that of people around fifty years old.

"Hello Auntie, I'm really sorry to bother you so late." Ling Heng opened his mouth first, and even took out a red envelope from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cui Xun, "Although we are late, please also accept our thoughts, I wish you and your sister-in-law a hundred years of happiness and grow old together!" ”

Ling Heng's actions not only shocked Ye August, but also made Cui Xun very surprised.

He couldn't refuse Ling Heng in front of his mother, so he had to reluctantly accept the red envelope.

Cui Xun's mother's face looked a little better, but she may have really left "sequelae" because of the disappearance of Cheng Zhijie and his wife, and said unceremoniously: "Since you two young people are here for Cui Xun's happy event, you can honestly chat with him here, and you must not go out and run around, especially at night, you must stay at home." If you obey the rules, my old woman welcomes you, but if you don't follow the rules and something happens, don't blame our family again! ”

After leaving the harsh words, the old lady turned and left.

As soon as the old lady left, Cui Xun immediately said apologetically: "My mother is just scared, don't be like her." By the way, I can't accept this red envelope, I really can't accept it! ”

Ling Heng said politely: "We have caused you trouble by coming uninvited, this red envelope is a symbol of festivity, and if you give it, you can't return it." Be careful, please accept it. ”

Cui Xun accepted the red envelope with a red face, "Hey, okay then." Wait a minute, I'll go boil some hot water and get you some fruit. ”

"I just boiled hot water, you can go wash the fruit."

Suddenly, a delicate-looking woman with a graceful figure walked out of the Westinghouse.

"You're done talking to home?" Choi Hoon asked.

The woman responded with a smile, then looked at Ling Heng and Ye August curiously and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

"Oh, they are friends of Brother Zhijie's daughter-in-law, I heard that Brother Zhijie and they are missing, so I came to take a look, this is the red envelope they gave us." Cui Xun is a good man who loves his wife, and he handed in the red envelope as soon as he received it.

"Hello sister-in-law!" Ye August screamed sweetly.

"This is my wife, Jo Marcy." After Cui Xun introduced his wife, he asked, "What do you two call them?" ”

Ling Heng didn't care whether Ye August wanted to or not, he grabbed Ye August's shoulders and said with a smile: "My name is Ling Heng, she is my girlfriend, Ye August." ”
