With Qin Yuan's shout, Jin Beibei realized that her actions just now were a little reckless, she gently pushed Qin Yuan away, and then lowered her head embarrassedly, avoiding Qin Yuan's gaze, and then the flush on her face quickly spread to the root of her ears and to her neck.

Qin Yuan also felt something strange, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he froze in place.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with surprise and embarrassment.

"Well, what do we do next?"

Qin Yuan coughed dryly, trying to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.

Jin Beibei's face was as red as a ripe apple, she didn't dare to look directly at Qin Yuan's gaze, and after biting her lip in embarrassment, she said in a low voice: "What time is it?" ”

Qin Yuan hurriedly took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and said, "Now, it's about 6 o'clock in the morning." ”

"Oh, why don't we go to the village first?"

"Let's see if we can find some clues."

The flush on Jin Beibei's face faded a little, and her voice became a little higher.

"Okay, let's go into the village."

With that, Qin Yuan took the lead in walking towards the village.

At this moment, the sky in Xiqing Village has just been bright, the faint sunlight shines through the clouds on the horizon, gently sprinkled on the earth, and the villagers' doors are also opened one after another, out of the house, carrying farm tools towards their farmland, their faces are filled with simple smiles, and the whole village is filled with a kind and harmonious atmosphere.

"We didn't go wrong, did we?"

"Didn't the taxi driver say this place was haunted?"

"It doesn't look like a haunting."

"Beibei, are we on the wrong track?"

Seeing the peaceful scene in front of him, Qin Yuan asked Jin Beibei curiously.

"I don't know."

Hearing Qin Yuan ask like this, Jin Beibei's brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Qin Yuan's stomach rattled untimely, and he was hungry.

After all, the two of them haven't eaten anything since they got off the bus last night, and after several strenuous exercises, both of them are hungry.

"Forget it, let's find a place to eat first."

Qin Yuan rubbed his stomach and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm a little hungry too, so I'll fill my stomach first and then go investigate." Jin Beibei chimed in.

At this time, in front of a thatched hut next to them, an old man with traces of wind and frost was feeding his livestock.

The old man's face was full of satisfaction and serenity, and from time to time he gently stroked the back of the cow with his palm, and the cow whispered quietly, as if he could feel the deep love of his owner.

Seeing the old man's kind expression, Qin Yuan walked up to the old man, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"Uncle, feed the animals again."

"Come, take a break from a cigarette."

After glancing at Qin Yuan, the old man took the cigarette, lit it skillfully, and after spitting out a smoke ring, he smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that the other party took his cigarette, Qin Yuan continued: "Uncle, my girlfriend and I have been out to play, and we haven't eaten for almost a day. ”

"I haven't found a place to eat in this place, do you think it's convenient to go to your house for a meal?"

"Of course, we won't eat for nothing, and we will give you money for food."

After hearing Qin Yuan's words, the old man said enthusiastically: "Hey, what a big deal." ”

"You two come in with me."

After that, the old man led Qin Yuan and Jin Beibei into his room, and then said enthusiastically, "You two sit here first." ”

"I'll go get you both something to eat."

Jin Beibei said embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The old man waved his hand and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

After a while, the old man brought two bowls of porridge, two roasted steamed buns, and a stack of side dishes on the table, and then said embarrassedly: "People in the village, the food is simple, not as good as in the city." ”

"Don't dislike you two."

"Don't dislike, don't dislike." Qin Yuan picked up the rice bowl and ate as he spoke, as early as when the food was served on the table, Qin Yuan smelled the fragrance of the food, and he was hungry and ate without saying a few words.

Jin Beibei originally wanted to be polite, but seeing Qin Yuan like this, she couldn't help it, and drank porridge.

Seeing that the two of them ate so fragrantly, the old man smiled happily, and then went to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns and put them in front of the two, and then squatted aside and smoked welding fumes.

After a while, the two finally filled their stomachs.

Qin Yuan stretched his body contentedly, feeling that his body and mind had been repaired and nourished.

He took out a cigarette from his waist and handed it to the old man who was smoking a welding cigarette on the ground.

The old man took the cigarette with a smile and smiled with satisfaction.

After Qin Yuan glanced at Jin Beibei, he lit a cigarette for the old man, and then asked tentatively, "Uncle, I want to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing Qin Yuan inquire about him, there was a hint of vigilance in the old man's eyes.

However, Qin Yuan didn't notice the sudden change in the old man's expression, but continued to ask, "I heard that our village is haunted, do you know about this?" ”

Hearing Qin Yuan's question, the old man put away his smile and asked with a serious face, "Who are you?" ”

The old man's sudden change made Qin Yuan and Jin Beibei's hearts tighten.

With Jin Beibei's years of experience in investigating cases, she feels that there must be something wrong here.

Jin Beibei smiled kindly and continued: "Uncle, we are a pair of lovers, we are about to get married, and we are going out to play." ”

"On the way, I met a taxi driver, and he told us that Xiqing Village was haunted, and we were curious for a while, so we wanted to come and have a look."

Speaking of this, Jin Beibei took the initiative to hug Qin Yuan's arm.

Jin Beibei's move couldn't help but make Qin Yuan sigh in his heart, this policeman is just not ordinary, he entered the play so quickly.

After hearing Jin Beibei's words, the old man's emotions instantly became excited, and he shouted loudly: "Pure nonsense, I have been the village chief of Xiqing Village for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone's house being haunted. ”

"Besides, what the hell is there in this day and age."

"You two must have been tricked by that taxi driver."

Hearing that the old man was the village chief of Xiqing Village, Qin Yuan and Jin Beibei looked at each other, this time they had found the right person, after all, no one in Xiqing Village knew the situation better than the old man.

"But ......"

"Nothing, have you two eaten enough?"

"When you're full, leave my house."

"I'm not welcome here."

The village chief instantly turned his face, interrupted Jin Beibei's inquiry, and issued an eviction order.

Qin Yuan saw the sudden change of the village chief, and always felt that the village chief in front of him had something to hide from him, he took out a hundred yuan from his body and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I really disturbed you, this is our food money." ”

"Put it on the table for you."

"Actually, we are not only a couple, but also a collector of supernatural stories."

"I don't think that taxi driver is lying to us, you tell us the story."

Seeing Qin Yuan's actions, the old man did not restrain his attitude, but instead glared at Qin Yuan deadly, with a little anger in his words: "So, do you think I'm lying to you?" ”

"No, no, it's just ......"

The village chief didn't wait for Qin Yuan to finish speaking, then interrupted his words and said angrily:

"Get out."

"Since you don't believe what I say, then don't stay in my house anymore and get me out right away."

"Uncle, we really don't have any malicious intent, don't be so excited." Jin Beibei saw that the old man was emotional, so he thought about calming the other party's emotions.

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't pay attention to it at all, but instead stood up, walked to Qin Yuan and the others, and pushed the two of them towards the door with his hand.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"If I don't leave, I'm going to call the police."

Qin Yuan and Jin Beibei were quickly pushed to the door by the old man, but at this moment, thunder roared in the sky, followed by a howling wind and heavy rain pouring down.

"Uncle, uncle, I believe your words."

"You see it's raining now, can you let us take shelter from the rain here?"

Qin Yuan felt that this village chief must know something, but he didn't dare to say it for some reasons.

If you want to investigate this case, the best clue must come from the old man, if at this moment, the two of them leave from here, then such a good clue will be broken

So I thought of finding an excuse to stay here a little longer and see if I could find some clues.

Hearing Qin Yuan's words, the clever Jin Beibei also guessed Qin Yuan's intentions, and said in agreement: "Yes, uncle, you can't bear to drive us out in the rain, right?" ”

Hearing the pleading of the two, the old man stopped his movements, his expression softened slightly, and said in a low voice: "Okay, then you can wait for the rain to stop before leaving." ”

Qin Yuan and Jin Beibei looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to their seats.

After a while, Qin Yuan handed the old man a cigarette again, but the old man waved his hand and said coldly: "No need to ask more, this is the result if you ask again." ”

"Stay in peace, and leave as soon as the rain stops."

Seeing the old man's attitude, Qin Yuan couldn't say anything, so he could only sit back in his seat honestly.

As time passed, the rain outside the house was like a waterfall, and it fell very hard, without any intention of stopping, from morning to night.

During this period, the old man had been sitting on the side smoking welding fumes, and he had not said a word to Qin Yuan and the others.

And Jin Beibei, who was on the side, had fallen asleep on the table.

Seeing that the heavy rain outside the house had no intention of stopping, Qin Yuan felt that he would not get any clues if he waited like this, but the old man was like a barrel of explosives, just a little bit.

But let's go, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult to investigate this case again. Why don't you stay here for one night and see if you can get some news from the village chief tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan said to the old man: "Uncle, you see that it is raining so hard now, and the sky is so dark again. ”

"Can we stay with you for one night?"

Hearing Qin Yuan's words, a trace of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in a cold voice, "Okay." ”

"But for one night, whether it rains tomorrow morning or not, you both have to leave for me."
