The dawn of this world is very early, when Shi Chen opened his eyes, it was around five o'clock in the morning, and the palm of his hand felt a tingling pain, as if reminding him of what happened a few hours ago.

"Are you awake?" Wen Xue felt subtle movements around him, opened his eyes vigilantly, raised his hand to look at his watch, "It's still early, don't you want to sleep more?"

"Can't sleep, if you feel tired, go to sleep again." Shi Chen sat up, looked at his palm, the gauze was still there.

In fact, Shi Chen knew that his injury was not serious, but Wen Xue was more careful.

"I saw it as a minor injury, and it will heal in two days." Wen Xue stretched out his hand to cover his palm.

The warmth of the hug last night was gone, Shi Chen clearly remembered the temperature under the cold air around Wen Xue's body, the flames of anger were like fire, and Wen Xue's skin was burning hot.Even so, the hug Shi Chen felt was very gentle, and the strength of the arms that hugged him was just right.

Shi Chen couldn't remember what happened after that, and fell asleep in a daze, with nightmares one after another.

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and smiled and said, "Ah, I haven't thanked you last night. Without you, my life would have to be in that well."

"Not necessarily." Wen Xue was amused by his own thoughts, and smiled lowly, "Maybe I can flop around until morning, waiting for us to rescue you."

"Fuck you." Shi Chen retorted, probably because the picture in his mind was too vivid, he turned his head and laughed.

Wen Xue was intentionally teasing himself and distracting him. Shi Chen knew it in his heart and was very grateful, but he also had a strange feeling besides this, which was a good impression that was beyond the primitive instinct.

After being stared at for a long time, Wen Xue felt very uncomfortable, turned his head and coughed abruptly to clear his throat.

Shi Chen narrowed his eyes, feeling embarrassed by the infection, his mind was stuck, and he couldn't even think of a single stroke of the molesting words, ahh, trying to ease the current atmosphere, but at this time, his pre-school, xue xue After the mouth, speechless.

The kang in the room seemed to be full of charcoal, which made the temperature in this small space rise to the peak of summer, and the temperature of the two of them rose sharply, giving people the illusion that if they used a thermometer to measure it, the watch might explode.

Unable to bear it, Wen Xue sat up straight, not daring to stay on the kang for a long time, and fled to climb down the kang.

"There are a lot of people by the well. Someone must have had an accident last night." Wen Xue got out of bed and glanced outside, his expression turned indifferent.

Shi Chen's gaze followed Wen Xue's face all the time. Seeing the moment Wen Xue changed his face, he felt the coldness.He immediately climbed to the edge of the kang and looked out of the window, "Last night, there should be no accidents with the rabbit balls. It is likely that there is another scapegoat in the village. I don't know which family's unlucky one it is."

Wen Xue squinted, "That's a child."

"The one who tried to drag me down the well last night was also a child, the kind that weighs a few hundred catties, no, a giant baby that weighs a thousand catties." Shi Chen dragged the end of his voice, speaking viciously with resentment.

"Okay, okay, let's go, go and see whose family the half-ton baby is today." Wen Xue had already walked to the door at this time, shaking his head and waiting for Shi Chen.

Shi Chen got up very early for the first time with a lot of pressure in his heart. He didn't expect to wait for them to go downstairs and see several people with their heads stuck there, with severe dark circles under their eyes. With two strokes, they are not much different from pandas.

None of these people paid attention to each other, they were scrolling on their mobile phones, or they simply sat on the sidelines in a daze, and Tuwanzi and Apan chatted occasionally.After counting the heads carefully, there were five heads, and a whole group of people was there, so Shi Chen felt a little more at ease now.

Tu Wanzi seemed to have learned the art of mind reading, and stopped Wen Xue before he went out, saying: "I went to see by the well. The one who died was the only son of a farmer in the village. He is still crying and messing around. I advise you two, don't In the past, ask for trouble."

Wen Xue pushed his glasses, nodded at Tuwanzi with a smile, and sat down on the chair closest to the stairs.

Shi Chen paused, looked critically at the rest of the people in the hall, and sat beside Wen Xue.

"They were so scared last night that they couldn't sleep." Tu Wanzi put it bluntly, absolutely capable of reading minds.

After finishing speaking, Tu Wanzi stood up abruptly, with the flesh on his cheeks piling up, he leaned over with a smile on his face, took out some boiled eggs, white steamed buns, and a bottle of half-warm water for Shi Chen.

She babbled again: "Don't worry, I boiled the eggs with snow water, and steamed the steamed buns with snow water. And this water, the same boiled snow water, was warmed." She didn't bring much food. At most, it can meet the six-day supply for one person, and the three people will share it, so naturally the bag will bottom out.

Shi Chen has a soft mouth, so he succinctly described what happened last night.

Tu Wanzi frowned and muttered, "Then I won't be in trouble tonight."

"Don't be afraid, if you don't get tricked out of the house, you won't be able to do anything with that thing." Wen Xue's tone of voice was relaxed and relaxed, which was very comfortable to hear.

"Ah. Good." Tuwanzi asked, "What should I do next?"

"Huh? You still ask us, aren't you the most experienced? The leader." Shi Chen spoke in such a hurry that he almost choked on the egg yolk.

Rabbit balls look at Shi Chen, she is not willing to be a sheep to be slaughtered, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Wen Xue slapping Shi Chen on the back, he swallowed his words and said with a smile: "But I think you are more reliable, I obey the command .”

This flattering Shi Chen is comfortable and satisfying, although he suspects that this word is added for face.

After coughing, Shi Chen put away the embarrassment of being choked up, leaned back lazily, sat there with a big horse, folded his arms and looked at the four people sitting in the row on the sofa, and said non-constructively: "Everyone does their own thing. Those who want to continue cutting trees and making woodcarvings can go now. Those who want to help investigate the situation of the mountain god festival in previous years, you can divide into groups."

"You call this a plan?" Tu Wanzi said without saving face, "It's a plan that you ass came up with."

Shi Chen gave Tu Wanzi a beating look, with a cheeky look of 'otherwise what do you think'.

Wen Xue ate very politely, he lowered his head and chewed slowly, he couldn't see the helpless eyes cast by the rabbit balls at all, and when he looked up after eating, he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he was a little embarrassed and asked Shi Chen with his eyes .

Shi Chen met Wen Xue's eyes asking for help, saw the embarrassment that others couldn't see, and laughed in his heart.

"Let's go to the family that had the accident today first? Check it the other way around?" Shi Chen said, "I've seen the mountain god sacrifice, and it's only a few years old. It seems that it started after a natural disaster ten years ago. It didn't say that the mouth of the sacrifice must be sealed. I guess there must be ghosts in this, and it may not be a traditional behavior to sew the mouth with fishing line. So why did that person do this?"

Wen Xue said noncommittally: "Well, then do as you said."

After getting Wen Xue's positive answer, Shi Chen immediately smiled at Tu Wanzi.

It's not that Tu Wanzi doesn't trust Shi Chen, but she can't understand Shi Chen's glib appearance, which is far from the upright appearance of the criminal investigation team leader in her impression.

A Pan originally wanted to volunteer for the tree-cutting job last night, but thanks to Wen Xue's reminder, he thought about it repeatedly and didn't mention it, so he escaped the disaster.Now that he is extremely convinced of Wen Xue, he was the first to stand up and say that he would help them investigate.

Tu Wanzi came down early in the morning and ran into Apan, chatted a few words, heard clearly, he is an honest man.Asking her to investigate alone is because she is not afraid of being framed by someone behind her back, and the workload and risk will also increase relatively. After weighing it, Tu Wanzi decisively invited Apan to be a team with her.

"Then what should we do?" Li Luoluo looked like a hedgehog covered in thorns after the stimulation of the previous night, "You want to survive, and we want to, so why don't you care about us?"

"The feet are on your own legs, so you can check them yourself." Tu Wanzi said in a slightly louder voice, "Is it difficult for you to be in a group of three?"

"Can it be compared? You are a combination of old people, and I will bring two newcomers who are in the way?" Li Luoluo said indiscriminately, and immediately closed his mouth with regret after saying it, and then acted like a baby to Wen Xue with red eyes of grievance: "Wen Xue Brother, can I be with you? I promise not to cause trouble."

Wen Xue sighed lightly, probably except for Shi Chen, in his eyes, interpersonal communication is more headache than a math idiot doing advanced math problems, so he politely and politely refused immediately, and pushed Shi Chen with his elbow.Wen Xue has a character that pays great attention to appearance. He stood up and did not forget to straighten his suit. He was very polite and bent slightly towards others, and went outside to wait for Shi Chen.

Although Fengshan Village occupies a large area, some buildings are already deserted. Most of them are two-story dilapidated buildings, which look like they will collapse at any time. If you don't know that there are people in the village, walking on this desolate village road will make people feel that they are really lonely. An uninhabited ghost village.

The two wandered around the village, and soon found the family whose child had just died. The small yard of this family was crowded with people coming in and out.The child's mother cried loudly, her hair was disheveled, and she almost fainted several times.

"Everyone in this village has their own ghosts." Shi Chen picked up his mobile phone and took a few photos of the people outside the courtyard. "This one, the one on the left, that one, and the one in the corner... look at them The facial expressions, seeing other people's children die without any sympathy, come with gloating, most of them are victims of forced sacrifice of children in mountain god festivals."

Wen Xue looked at the few people pointed out, with resentment and hatred intertwined on his face, staring at the village chief who was pretending to comfort him, he really looked like a suspect.

"There are too many people, and we can't track them separately." Wen Xue said with a frown.

Shi Chen stood at the downwind, leaned against the gate, looked into the courtyard twice, scratched his dry itchy nose twice, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Go ask someone? Do you remember that when we first came, there was Have you been at the gate of the ancestral hall for half an hour? I looked inside and felt that there were clues on the back of the ranks in the ancestral hall. We can go around first, and then come out and ask the uncle who guards the gate."

Wen Xue took a small step to avoid the soot that Shi Chen shook off while speaking, "Will he speak?"

"Yes, when we first arrived, he has been staring at us all the time. It seems that he hesitated to speak, and he probably has a lot of things hidden in his stomach." Shi Chen looked at the cute baby beside him, stubbed out the cigarette butt, Exhale the second-hand smoke in the opposite direction, "Let me tell you, are the second generation of rich people like you now? They don't smoke or drink. It doesn't count if they are rich, and they live longer than the poor?"

"Cigarettes are harmful to health, and quitting smoking as soon as possible is good for health." Wen Xuezui nodded at the cigarette case in Shi Chen's hand, "Here, it's written, smoke less."

"Xuexue, I don't care, but I listen to my boyfriend the most, so you might as well consider..." Shi Chen lowered his head and swiped his phone, intending to circle a few key people first. Unable to speak, his hand shook violently, and he almost let go and smashed the phone.

"What are you looking at?" Wen Xue noticed that something was wrong with Shi Chen, so he leaned over to look at the screen of his mobile phone, he was stunned for three seconds, and then suddenly raised his head to look into the courtyard.

no change.

The people in the courtyard were not like the ones in Shi Chen's mobile phone. They were wearing shocking shrouds and were waving at them. Among them were the village chief, those venomous people, and Huang Li who had died.
