Jasmine's expression was very confused, and obviously, she didn't understand.

Li Xinyi's family doesn't eat meat, so the dishes on the table are basically vegetarian.

But Li Xinyi obviously bought two catties of meat today, but his sister-in-law threw them directly into the trash.

On the issue of meat, Li Xinyi has a special say because he works at the 'Hongfu Food Trading Company'. His company has been selling 'Porco Rosso' and 'Aries' for many years.

"I bought meat on purpose," Mr. Li said, "and we pretended to buy meat to make people think we were like everyone else." ”

"We are suspicious of the world, but we pretend not to be aware of anything. We don't want to be doubted or noticed, we want to find loopholes in this world, the truth, and a way back to the normal world. ”

Li Xinyi took out a small notebook from his pocket, and he read: "Wu Zheng brand tractor, Buick sedan, what do these words mean?" ”

"I don't know." Jasmine shook her head.

"I copied both of these words," Mr. Li said, "the former is a livestock transporter, and the latter is a taxi." Why is there such a text printed on the body? I asked the people who were driving, and no one knew why the words were printed on the body or what they meant. ”

"Also, there are those black glass balls hanging all over the place, what are those?"

The expression on Jasmine's face became more and more confused. What Li Xinyi's family said, in her opinion, is a normal phenomenon in the world.

Just like why there are clouds in the sky and why the earth is flat, who would think about this?

Jasmine thought for a moment and said, "One of the teachers in our school has disappeared recently. ”

Jasmine works at a local school.

"The male teacher went out to work in the morning, and his family watched him go into the alley, but he never came out. It just disappeared like this......

His mother fainted from crying. But the next day, the whole family calmly bought vegetables and cooked rice, and it seemed that all the sadness was gone. By the third day, his family had forgotten about him. ”

Li Xinyi asked suspiciously: "Did you forget, or did you suddenly not feel sad?" ”

Jasmine said, "The school sent someone to take the teacher's stuff home, and he was kicked out. said that there was no such person in his family at all. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Incidents like this disappearing inexplicably are common in this place. Disappearances occur irregularly and randomly. No one knows whose turn will be next.

No one even calls the police, because it's like rain, it's part of nature.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xinyi decided to kill the fat boss today.

In Li Xinyi's eyes, the fat boss resells people and animals, and has a lot of evil deeds, and he is the one who should disappear the most.

Even if he kills the fat man, no one else can tell whether the fat man has an accident or suddenly disappears.

Therefore, after killing the fat man, Li Xinyi did not panic at all.

Jasmine asked, "What would you do if these phenomena were abnormal?" ”

"Hide yourself." The eldest brother said, "Until we figure everything out, the safety of the family is the most important thing. We're not going to do anything. Unobtrusive, quietly observing, is our rule. ”

One word, it is 'Gou'.

Ding Dong suddenly asked in her immature childish voice, "Sister Jasmine, you won't say what we said today!" ”

"Clank!" The eldest brother scolded lightly. It's a little rude for a child to talk to Jasmine like that.

But Jingle Bell said seriously. "If others know that we have this kind of thinking, then the whole family is in danger!"

"I'm not going to say it!" Jasmine hurriedly assured.

Li Xinyi glanced at Jasmine apologetically, "I'm sorry for letting you listen to a lot of strange things." ”

In fact, his original plan was to let Jasmine get to know her family a little better.

But I didn't expect that somehow, the atmosphere was a little strange.

The sister-in-law began to play a round, "Jasmine is here for the first time, don't say that other people's appetites are gone, let's eat." ”

Ding Dong also said in a crisp voice: "After talking for so long, I'm dying of hunger!" ”

The sister-in-law persuaded everyone to eat while serving Jasmine a bowl of soup.

The soup is a semi-vegetarian radish stock, and although there is no meat in it, it is still very fragrant and delicious after being cooked by hand.

Jasmine smiled at Li Xinyi, "Your family trusts me, that's why they told me this." I don't understand, but I respect you. ”

Seeing Jasmine's smile without the city, Li Xinyi felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

After dinner, it was already dark. Outside, the street lamps and moonlight illuminated the iron railings.

Li Xinyi walked to the window and looked outside. In front of the house was a wide street, now empty and unoccupied. The road is lined with neighbors' houses, and many warm lights are on, and it doesn't look unusual.

Jasmine and Ding Dong were playing in the living room, and Li Xinyi walked towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, the servant Lao Fang was washing the dishes.

"Uncle Fang," Li Xinyi shouted.

For as long as Li Xinyi can remember, Lao Fang has been staying in this home. Lao Fang's temperament is very elegant, he is well-organized, and he looks like an intellectual, not like a servant at all. Li Xinyi always called him 'Uncle Fang'.

The old man said while washing the dishes, "Why are you coming in, it's too hot here, you go and cool off." ”

Li Xinyi couldn't help but say, and also picked up a bowl and washed it. The old party is responsible for washing for the first time, and Li Xinyi is responsible for flushing.

"Do you have something to tell me?" The old man saw the clue.

"I want to ask you if there are any new discoveries in your research."

Lao Fang has been doing a study silently. But his research sounds ridiculous, called 'finding truth in fiction'. The material for the study is fiction.

Lao Fang believes that the world in the book is more real than the world in front of him. So when he reads novels, he often makes new discoveries.

After the last bowl was washed, the old man wiped his hands and said, "I have something for you, come to my room." ”

The two entered the old man's room,

This room is a servant's room, in the most remote corner. The room is also very small, but as soon as you enter the door, you can feel something strange.

Because it didn't feel like a servant's room at all.

The room was filled with books on all sides. There was a thick layer of paper and pen on the table, and the walls were covered with paper with words written on it, and the different contents were connected by threads of various colors. It's a secret room for scholars to do research.

"I've recently read two interesting books to show you about them."

The old man said, picking up one from the pile of books.

Locals don't read. Not only do I not read books, but I also think that reading books is a strange thing.

The matter of reading is also Lao Fang's 'secret', and only the Li family knows and allows the servants to read. If he goes to someone else's house as a servant, he can easily be expelled because of his fetishes. Maybe that's why Lao Fang has been in the Li family for so many years.
