"Who do you think it is?" Ling Heng asked vigilantly.

"I think it's ......" Before Ye August could finish speaking, Ling Heng suddenly grabbed her waist and took her to hide under the wall of a nearby house.

"What's wrong?" Ye August asked in surprise.

"Shh

Ling Heng glanced at her quickly, then bent down and picked up a small stone and threw it out.

"Smack!"

As soon as the small stone was thrown, there was the sound of something shattering.

Ye August looked at Ling Heng in astonishment, but Ling Heng's eyes were as calm as a windless lake.

Ye August wanted to open her mouth, but Ling Heng gently pressed his finger on her lips.

"Let's go!"

Ling Heng held Ye August's hand tightly this time, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, what just happened?" Ye August asked worriedly.

Ling Heng lowered his head and whispered to Ye August, "Don't care, let's keep walking." ”

Although Ye August was still very curious, in order to cooperate with Ling Heng, she still chose to remain silent.

The two of them walked forward silently like this, Ye August didn't even dare to breathe, and listened carefully to the movement behind him, but there was no special sound behind them.

Ye August raised his head and looked at Ling Heng, Ling Heng looked straight ahead with a calm expression, his steps getting faster and faster.

When they had walked for about ten more minutes, Ling Heng stopped again.

Ye August didn't say anything, waiting for Ling Heng to react next.

"Forget it, let's go back, it's not good to see when you come out so late." Ling Heng actually said this, took Ye August's hand and turned around.

"We're going back?" Ye August was a little unconvinced that Ling Heng had really decided like this.

Ling Heng immediately gave her an affirmative answer: "Well, go back." ”

Ye August looked at Ling Heng incredulously, but Ling Heng didn't look at her, but continued to walk back with his long legs with a comfortable expression.

Ye August frowned and looked ahead, even if there was the light of the flashlight, she couldn't tell if the person who was following them was still there.

She was muttering in her heart when she suddenly felt Ling Heng squeeze her hand a little harder.

Ye August raised his head suddenly, Ling Heng raised his chin lightly, and motioned for her to look ahead.

Ye August's eyes widened in confusion, Ling Heng shook the flashlight slightly to the right, and Ye August saw that there seemed to be a figure under a tree not far from them.

Ye August was afraid that he was wrong, so he deliberately had the courage to take a serious look, but unfortunately the light of the flashlight only flashed under the tree, and Ye August couldn't see it clearly no matter how much he wanted to see it.

"Boss, is there anyone under the tree?" Ye August asked softly.

Ling Heng nodded, "You just said that you know who is following us, now you can talk about it." ”

Ye August said with no certainty: "I think the person who is following us may be Mrs. Cui, and her so-called 'sleepwalking' is just deceiving us." I had a rough idea of what she had said in the hut at the time, and judging by her attitude towards us, she seemed to be very hostile to outsiders. ”

After listening to Ye August's speculation, Ling Heng's expression was very calm, and he lowered his voice and said slowly: "It turns out that the person you suspect is her." There is some truth in what you said, but I don't think the same as you, I think the person who is following us is the new daughter-in-law of the Cui family, Qiao Meishi. ”

"You doubt Jo Marcy?" Ye August couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Ling Heng's thoughts.

However, she immediately adjusted her thoughts, and remembered that Qiao Meishi, who appeared silently behind her at that time, was indeed very suspicious.

"We'll find out soon, who it is."

After Ling Heng finished speaking, without waiting for Ye August to speak, a golden light flew under the tree that seemed to be hiding a person.

Ye August instantly widened his eyes, staring at the golden light.

"Ahh

A scream suddenly resounded in the quiet night sky, the corners of Ling Heng's mouth raised slightly, and he took Ye August's hand and walked quickly under the tree.

Ye August was very excited, she didn't expect to catch the person who was following them so quickly, she couldn't help but have an idea, this person who was following them must have something to do with the disappearance of Cheng Zhijie and his wife.

Although Ling Heng walked in a hurry, he didn't let go of Ye Yue's hand, and took her to the tree quickly.

When he walked under the tree, he only saw the golden dart made of Ling Heng's aura nailed to the tree alone, and there was no one under the tree at all.

"Damn, she escaped!" Ling Heng punched the tree trunk, and the dart instantly turned into a stream of aura and returned to Ling Heng's body.

"Looks like we're underestimating her." Ye August said with annoyance.

Ling Heng withdrew his hand, and his expression quickly returned to calm, "Even if she escapes, she will definitely show her feet!" Let's go back first. ”

The two of them hurried back to Cui's house, and as they expected, both rooms were very quiet, and the Cui family seemed to be asleep.

Ling Heng stood in the living room and looked at the East and West Houses respectively, and couldn't help but secretly clench his fists.

Ye August's hand had been firmly held by Ling Heng just now, and the temperature of Ling Heng's palm was still on her hand.

Although she kept reminding herself to keep her distance from Ling Heng and no longer show any thoughts about Ling Heng that crossed the line, it was difficult for her to do so, and she seemed to be closer to Ling Heng.

This feeling made her conflicted and gave her a headache.

"Since we can't see anything, let's rest first." Ye August sat on the sofa with his back to Ling Heng, put the hand that Ling Heng had held in his heart, and then lay down.

It was a very sure thing, but he didn't expect it to be miscalculated, Ling Heng was very unwilling, and even wanted to rush directly to Cui Xun and Qiao Meishi's bedroom to check it.

But he was still sensible after all, and after sighing lightly, he also lay down on the sofa.

Ye August was still facing away from him, and he was lying flat staring at the ceiling.

"Boss ......"

Ye August opened his mouth very softly.

"Huh?" Ling Heng replied in a low voice.

Ye August thought for a moment before continuing: "Boss, will you still mistake me for Ye Ji?" ”

Ye August's words contained a lot of meanings, and after she finished speaking, she closed her mouth tightly, waiting for Ling Heng's answer in a tangled manner.

"I didn't mistake you for Yahime, although you share the same body now, the two of you are completely different."

Ling Heng's tone was not resolute, when he finished saying this, he wanted to say more, but he didn't know where to start.

Because he couldn't tell what kind of emotions he had for Ye August, this kind of confusion was something he had never had.

Ling Heng's answer made Ye August stop talking, she took her hand away from her chest and forced herself to close her eyes.

"Good night, boss."

This sudden "good night" made Ling Heng feel inexplicably worried, he turned his head slightly sideways to look at Ye August, raised his hand and wanted to pull the blanket covering Ye August's body upward, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

The night passed quickly, and just as it was dawning, there was movement in the East House.

Mrs. Cui got up first.

She walked straight from her bedroom to the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast.

After a while, Uncle Cui also got up, coughed twice, and walked into the kitchen.

Ye August and Ling Heng woke up at the same time, although they didn't sleep well at night, they didn't keep a position and didn't move, the two happened to be lying face to face at this time, only a finger's distance in between.

Ye August immediately turned over and closed his eyes with a red face.

Ling Heng didn't move, he looked at the back of Ye August's head calmly, and just smiled helplessly.

"I can't sleep, so let's go out now." Ye August said tentatively.

"Well, that's what I thought, too." Ling Heng got up at this point.

Ye August rubbed his eyes, and then sat up after tidying up his clothes, and when the two of them were about to walk towards the door, Mrs. Cui came out of the kitchen.

"You guys got up so early? Why don't you sleep more? Am I arguing with you? ”

This morning's attitude towards them is like two people compared to yesterday, not only her tone is gentle, but her expression is also extraordinarily kind.

Ye August and Ling Heng glanced at each other incredulously, and Ling Heng smiled politely at her, "It's not you who woke us up, we usually get up early." And the air in the countryside is good, we want to go and breathe some fresh air. ”

Ye August accompanied the smiling face on the side, and cooperatively grabbed Ling Heng's arm.

Old Mrs. Cui nodded, smiling as kindly as she could, "Then you go around, don't go too far, I'll make the meal first." ”

Ye August obediently agreed: "Okay, we'll be back in a while." ”

Mrs. Cui turned around and went back to the kitchen, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and went out without delay.

When he went out, Ye August hurriedly expressed his doubts, "What's the matter with this old lady Cui, why did her attitude towards us take a 180-degree turn this morning?" ”

Ling Heng touched his chin and said with a solemn expression: "Her behavior is indeed strange, but it can also be explained. We came a little late last night, and it's normal that she doesn't welcome us two uninvited guests. But it's been a night, she's an elder after all, maybe she's pleasing to the two of us now? ”

"This ...... Seems to make sense. Ye August frowned and said, still feeling that something was not quite right in his heart, and he was still suspicious of Mrs. Cui.

Ling Heng suddenly grabbed her wrist and stretched out a solemn expression, his tone was full of expectation, "Let's go, let's not waste time thinking about it first, go and see the tree that was stabbed by the golden dart last night, maybe you can find something." ”

"Hmm!" Ye August's expression also became lighter.

The two of them soon reached the bottom of the tree, and the traces of the golden dart on the trunk were still there, but there were weeds around it, and there seemed to be no clue.

"Look carefully and don't miss anything." Ling Heng told Ye August while lowering his head and looking seriously in the grass.

Ye August took out a magnifying glass from his bag, bent over and looked around the tree very conscientiously.

"Ahh

Ye August exclaimed, covering his forehead and looking at Ling Heng speechlessly.

The two of them were so engrossed in their search that they bumped into each other.

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Ling Heng apologized with a good attitude, and also rubbed his forehead that was hurt.

Ye August smiled helplessly, and continued to take a magnifying glass to look at the grass.

"Ahh Ye August exclaimed again.

"What's wrong?" Ling Heng was taken aback by her.

Ye August raised his hand excitedly, "Boss, look what this is!" ”
