It was dawn, and Li Heping also returned.

Regarding the conjecture that "the wanderer is my aunt", Li Heping gave quite affirmation, "Your aunt really impresses me." I hadn't seen her before, so I didn't think of her, but if it really was, it wouldn't be strange. ”

Yan Yueming was curious, "How impressive?" ”

"Ahem." Li Heping didn't say anything, "It's better for your aunt to tell you herself, isn't she still outside and refuses to come back?" ”

Li Zheng glanced at it lightly, "The teacher doesn't seem to be outside the city and hasn't gone back?" ”

Li Heping will be angry with him sooner or later, he is doing evil, accepting such a stinky apprentice, and always demolishing his platform. Fortunately, at this time, Yan Yueming brought him fragrant and hot porridge, and cared about whether he was tired or not, which gave him a trace of comfort in his heart.

"Anyway, as I said before, guess and be careful. Xiao Ming's aunt is a possibility, but we can't be completely sure, the dog hole hasn't appeared yet, and during this time, we will continue to look for other clues in this village. Li Heping said.

The waterway is still too dangerous, in case it leads to some depth, he and Li Zheng are okay, Yan Yueming, this kid is choking enough, so he will not try it easily unless he has to.

After finishing speaking, Li Heping was also tired, and planned to lie down for a while to recuperate. Yan Yueming took advantage of this time to put forward the idea of going around the village alone.

"You're going alone, okay?" Li Heping turned around and asked.

"It's daytime, I won't go far, and I can beg Rhubarb to come with me." Yan Yueming said her plan. He thought about it seriously, it was relatively safe during the day, and he already had a preliminary understanding of the plot in the small mountain village, so he had a certain confidence, and he was not so frightened, and at the moment he was energetic and in good condition.

The senior and the teacher have been busy for so long, it's time to rest, and it won't be delayed for him to go out to explore.

Rhubarb had come back early and was sleeping at the door. At the sound of the name, its ears moved, and it immediately came running like the wind, looking up at them with a wary gaze, as if to prevent them from speaking ill of it.

Now it's okay, neither of them needs to ask who "Rhubarb" is.

Li Heping pondered and felt that he could give it a try, but before he could answer, Li Zheng said: "If you can convince it to go with you, you can." ”

Yan Yueming immediately nodded, "Thank you, senior." ”

When he ran out, Li Heping looked at Li Zheng with a strange expression, "Aren't you afraid that he will go out and run around and cause trouble?" I remember the first time I took someone into the crevice, the little broken child wanted to show it, and he dared to rush ahead, but he didn't say anything, and you picked it up and hung it on the tree. ”

Speaking of the past, Li Heping couldn't help but want to laugh, "Next time, if I happen to go to that gap, I will definitely have to take Xiao Ming to see the famous 'Children's Tree'." Hey, how many people have you hung on it? ”

Li Zheng ignored it, put down the thermos cup, and got up elegantly.

Li Heping shouted from behind, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, not taking away a single cloud.

At the same time, Yan Yueming finally persuaded Rhubarb to embark on a new journey with him.

Rhubarb is a good dog, and although his eyes are always filled with a light of wisdom that is incomprehensible to mortals, he is extremely brave. With it by her side, Yan Yueming felt a lot more at ease, so she took the thatched house as a starting point and explored one by one.

He carefully searched for any possible message, and every step was slow, but also steady. Rhubarb probably dislikes him a little, and sometimes runs away on his own, but comes back quickly. Yan Yueming concentrated on herself.

There are a total of 50 households in the village, and they have already explored most of them, and many of them have posted "entry and exit instructions" on their doorsteps. The one next door to the thatched house was the same, Yan Yueming spent ten minutes walking inside, and it was basically safe.

When he came out, he didn't rush to another house, but walked around the house, looking here and there, looking at all the corners and grasses he could see.

He tried to find out the movements of the wanderer, who was suspected of being a sister-in-law, in the village. The king's house and the thatched hut, these two places are clearly seen by this person, but there is almost a whole village between them, and there are too many roads to walk.

So Yan Yueming gave up decisively and began to assume that he was the other party, what would he do? With her aunt's character, what will she do?

Where does the water come from? From the river.

Where does the bamboo tube for making cups come from? A small bamboo forest behind the house.

Where did the bowl come from? From the royal house.

What about quilts? It must have been a nearby family, because the quilt was large and heavy, and it was impossible to take it from the royal mansion so far.

Yan Yueming searched and searched, and after grinding for half an hour, she finally found the original owner of the quilt in a room about 50 meters away from the thatched house. Because there is more than one quilt in this house, the fabric used is the same, and the patterns and stitches are also the same.

But other than that, he found nothing, so where should he look for it?

Yan Yueming's gaze couldn't help but fall in the direction of the royal mansion, and then shook her head again. It was too far away for him to go alone. Suddenly, he slapped his brain, why is he so stupid?

"Rhubarb, rhubarb, do you know this person?" Yan Yueming took out her mobile phone to find a photo of her aunt and showed it to Rhubarb, and the moment Rhubarb saw the photo, the dog's eyes, which were already big, were like copper bells, and his ears were straight.

It looked at Yan Yueming and then at the photo; looked at the photo, looked at Yan Yueming again, and then burst out with a wild bark with a whimper, and the spit Xingzi almost sprayed Yan Yueming in the face.

Yan Yueming felt so aggrieved, she had lived for twenty-three years, and one day she was sprayed by a dog and wanted to cry.

Rhubarb seems to have finally realized that the person squatting in front of him was not the person he was back then, and after a few "woo woo woo" sounds, he didn't spray him anymore. He yelled at him, ran out again, ran a few steps, and then turned back to call him, as if to let him follow.

Yan Yueming was puzzled, so she followed, and followed it all the way to the river.

"Rhubarb, what are you bringing me here for?" Yan Yueming used a branch as a crutch, and because she ran slowly, she was disgusted by Rhubarb. But he was not angry, and had a discussion with it, "I promised the seniors and teachers not to go far." You know Tang Seng

Is it? If he didn't leave the circle painted by the Monkey King, he would definitely not have an accident. Rhubarb, your ancestors may have been a tengu under the throne of Erlang God, if you have watched "Journey to the West", ......"

Rhubarb didn't care about "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the East", and ran wildly along the river. One moment he ran to the front, the next he ran back, sometimes stopping to sniff, as if looking for something.

Yan Yueming simply waited, waited and waited, and Rhubarb went into the river one by one.

"Rhubarb!"

Yan Yueming hurriedly ran forward, but saw that the river was bubbling and blistering, and the dog had long since disappeared. But is the river that deep?

Yan Yueming couldn't swim, and just as he was about to go back to find his senior, rhubarb came out of the river again.

"Whoa!" The water is surging.

Rhubarb jumped up to the riverbank with something in his mouth. Yan Yueming looked at it and found that it was a small wooden sign the size of a palm, "What is this?" ”

Yan Yueming took the wooden sign down from the dog's mouth, frowned and read out the words above, "Tang...... Joe? ”

Tang Qiao?

This is his aunt's name!

Yan Yueming immediately got up from the ground, and was about to go back to find the senior and teacher with the wooden card. It's just that the sky is not beautiful, he didn't take two steps before it rained, and the rules of the mountain village immediately came to his mind-

[If it rains, you must hold an umbrella, if the rain is red, don't pay attention to it, don't be surprised.] 】

Oops.

Yan Yueming didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly called rhubarb and quickly rushed into the nearest room to take shelter from the rain. He didn't forget to knock on the door before entering, but the rain came quickly and urgently, and when he finally pushed the door in, he was already drenched.

The rain was bitterly cold.

Yan Yueming was so cold that she shivered, rushed into the yard and ran to the porch with the strength of breastfeeding, and then looked back - the rain curtain was shaking, and it was actually a faint blood red.

He really wanted to ignore it and not be surprised, as the rules said, but the places covered by his clothes were fine, and the places on his hands and neck, which were directly hit by the rain, even if there were only a few points, felt very bad.

Like a drop of ice rain piercing through the soul, an uneasiness began to emerge from the hole.

One eye was staring at the hole.

It's this creepy feeling that is hard to ignore. Yan Yueming could only try her best to breathe steadily, and then took out a tissue from her backpack and pretended to wipe the rain off calmly.

Rhubarb also looked a little agitated, and his cry was pressed in his throat, and he looked annoyed, but he was still careful not to return to the rain.

Yan Yueming looked back again, he hadn't entered this room yet, and there were no entry and exit instructions on the door, so it seemed that he had to be more cautious. In short, look for an umbrella first.

Not having an umbrella with him was a mistake on his part.

Before this trip, he prepared a lot of things, including an umbrella. But because the preparation was too complete, there were everything, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there were too many things, but when I finally packed the bag, I missed the must-have items such as umbrellas.

There are so many rules in the cracks, and although he has a good memory, it is impossible for him to remember all the rules in his mind all the time. It was a sunny day when he went out just now, and he forgot about the possibility of rain for a while, so he didn't prepare in advance.

Yan Yueming was quite annoyed, but regret was useless, so she could only look forward. The family had a total of five rooms, plus a small firewood house. Judging from the furnishings in the house, it is a very ordinary farmer.

What kind of rules will farmers have?

Yan Yueming probed her brain, first went through the rules that might appear in her mind, and then raised her feet and crossed the threshold of the hall. He thought well in his heart, just raised his feet and stepped in, such a simple action would definitely not be a problem, who knows-

As soon as his right foot hit the ground, a feeling of being stared at came. This time it was no longer a gaze from behind, but from the front, as if everyone in the room was looking back at him, their eyes cold and forced, as if they were weighing a thousand pounds.

Yan Yueming lowered her head and quickly retracted her feet.

His gaze then faded like a tide, leaving him in a cold sweat.

"Huh......" Yan Yueming raised her hand to cover her chest, she couldn't imagine that she would be disadvantaged. Yuguang caught a glimpse of Rhubarb next to him, who was looking at him with a "why are you so vegetable" gaze.

Yan Yueming didn't believe in evil, and after two or three minutes, she tried again.

He lifted his foot.

He took it back again.

"What should I do?" Yan Yueming tried twice in a row without success, her legs were a little weak, she squatted on the ground and held her head and whispered, "Could it be that the posture I entered the door was wrong?" But I've tried both of them...... Why can't farmers enter? Why......" He couldn't figure it out.

The rules in this village are actually quite logical, Xiucai's widowed mother can't be in the same house with a strange man, Lang Zhong's medicine may be poisonous, Wang Fu's family is staging a house fight, and ordinary peasant families are logically less rules.

Could it be that this family has some hidden identity?

There was rain in front of this, and there was a threshold that could not be crossed, and the only place where Yan Yueming could move was the small corridor under the eaves. He could only walk back and forth here, tiptoeing into the house, but he didn't see anything special, and there were no special marks on the corners or doors.

So what went wrong?

Yan Yueming pondered for a long time, and caught a glimpse of rhubarb, but rhubarb did not enter the house, looking quite scared.

After a while, a man and a dog squatted under the eaves to watch the rain and sigh. Yan Yueming felt that she couldn't go on like this, so she opened her backpack and rummaged through it to see if there was anything useful.

So he found it - the phone.

Yan Yueming had an idea, turned on the camera function, stood outside the house, and put her mobile phone in to shoot. It's safe, so you can see that as long as you don't step in.

If the umbrella is right next to the door, then he can find a way to hook it out. Unfortunately, when he watched the video, he found that the umbrella was hanging on the wall far away, and he couldn't take it out without entering the house.

"Alas......"

One man and one dog looked at the rain again and sighed.

Yan Yueming was bored, and opened the video to watch it repeatedly, trying to find something feasible from it. But after watching it for a long time, he didn't gain anything, but when he saw the hanging bacon, he was aroused by gluttony, and he was a little hungry.

Eat when you are hungry, Yan Yueming raised her hand and touched the rhubarb, ready to take out the last snack to share with it, but at this moment, he suddenly paused.

Hungry?

Eating?

"I thought of it!" Yan Yueming's eyes lit up slightly, "It's a meal." Ordinary peasant households don't have much money, and every household almost only has their own rations, so we can't come to the door at the meal, otherwise it will be rubbing rice and will not be welcomed. ”

Rhubarb tilted his head, "Wow." ”

Yan Yueming suddenly had confidence. Time flows fast in the gaps, and he just needs to wait for the meal to pass before going into the house to get an umbrella. At the same time, he also understood the reason why Rhubarb didn't dare to enter the house-

Dog meat can also be served.
