Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 283 Wen Family Village

The mountain scenery, to put it bluntly, is those luxuriant trees.

The sea of ​​trees is combed and dense, and there is a slightly sparse one under the upward step mountain wall where they are.

There is also a reason for the sparseness, and obvious signs of being crushed and felled can be seen.

Crushed, it is estimated that someone fell and crushed from a high place; felled, maybe the person who came to collect the corpse deliberately chopped it down in order to clean up the corpse.

The combination of the two creates the bare landscape below and a piece of land with a slightly darker color. The dark brown soil is wet, and there seems to be a trace of deep red from the inside.

When I blinked again, I couldn't see anything. On the ground below, there were only newly removed gravel slabs, and the blue, light gray and ivory were kneaded together.

Before Baisu was called back, he was observing the color.

But when asked what he was looking at, Baisu said that he was looking at flattened grass.

"Flattened grass?"

"Yeah, I couldn't see it because it was blocked by trees. If you look down from this side, there are tree stumps underneath."

After Baisu said it, the rest of the people also pretended to glance at it, as if they had seen it.

Wen Jianyuan listened, and explained with a smile: "It was cut down by everyone in the village after discussion. Although it might be able to block it, it also blocked the line of sight. In the end, I decided to clean it up. It is also convenient for some operate."

The operation is self-evident, the middle-aged man continued to lead the crowd up, and after walking for about 10 minutes, the real village entrance appeared in front of him.

"Wen Tao" stopped in front of a stone tablet: "Well, this is it?"

The stele was newly engraved, and on it was written... the words Wenjiacun in a round and unusual font.

What makes people feel strange is that the stele is newly carved, but the moss attached to it seems to have experienced years of wind and rain, and it is deeply integrated with the stele.

The observer Baisu stretched out his hand and yanked it, and the turf picked up was embedded in the inside of the stele. If he tried harder, the upper half of the stele would also be pulled off a little.

Whose newly engraved stele looks like this?

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyuan really gave an explanation. The middle-aged man said that it was a stone that had been selected in their village long ago, but there was no one who hadn't decided to engrave the monument, and it dragged and dragged like this. .

"Wen Tao" hesitated to speak, and wanted to complain a little.

The state of this stele doesn't look like it's just been dragged on for a long time and placed for a long time.

"It wasn't until half a year ago that the master who carved the stele came to the village, and we replaced it after the carving was finished."

This sentence put an end to the topic of the stele, and they continued to walk in. When they passed the stele, only Baisu, who was at the end, paused slightly.

On the invisible back, another round eyeball pushed up the hair on the back of the head.

Baisu looked back, and he saw that near the newly engraved stele submerged by the calf-high weeds, there was still a small half-broken old stone slab standing there.

The front is no longer visible, but the back is vaguely exposed among the grass leaves, with a few lines of red writing that fade with the wind and time, which seem to be some introductions and records of the village.

What is this kind of thing called, a village chronicle?

The protruding eyeballs turned twice. Since the main body was getting farther and farther away, it had to stretch a little, not too long, so as not to make the humans in front feel strange.

As for what to split?It feels like it hasn't arrived yet, it's just a broken slate.

The words that were blurred and written in small letters finally drifted away in the field of vision.

——[■■■■■On eight ■■days, ■■■ was born in ■■■■——■■village. ]
……

Wenjia Village walked in and looked, and it was not much different from the usual mountain villages.

The houses are like chickens and dogs, and the difference from the ancient records is that there are some modern equipment in the village, such as wires and pipes.

It is worth mentioning that there are some signs of festoons and festoons in Wenjia Village, which are related to the happy event Wen Jianyuan mentioned before, either because of the wedding or the birthday banquet.

I'll talk about those things later, the most urgent thing now is to find a place for the group to settle down.

Wen Jianyuan pointed to the village and introduced to "Wen Tao" the changes in the village over the years.

Some of "Wen Tao" nodded in response, some thought for a while, then shook their heads and said they didn't remember.

In her opinion, this is a more realistic response, how can a person remember everything, even if she answers wrong, it doesn't matter, what she needs is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

After entering the main road of the village, I walked for seven or eight minutes. On the road, I met a few elderly people sitting at the door of their house and basking in the sun. A locked courtyard door.

Wen Jianyuan turned to the door and said: "This is the house left by your parents. I have the spare key. Your aunt and I clean it regularly. The last time I cleaned it was after I sent you a message. Did you bring the key? "

"Wen Tao" nodded, and took out the key from the bag he was carrying.

Wen Jianyuan met, relieved, and invited them to his house for dinner at night.

People like them who suddenly return to the village for a short stay will not be able to get the ingredients to start the fire for a while, so they can only go to relatives and friends' houses to make do with a few meals.

If there are no relatives, then you can only hope that the kind-hearted people with the same surname in the village will help you, but in Wenjia Village, they will probably agree.

Wen Jianyuan delivered the people and left. Before leaving, he repeated his invitation to his house for dinner, saying that his wife was also looking forward to their arrival.

"Wen Tao" responded twice, then quickly used the key to unlock the gate, and led the entire group into the courtyard gate. Finally, when the gate was closed, the outside voices were cut off.

The underage high school student exchanged glances with the inch-cut policeman and the glasses policeman, and the three quickly began to inspect the house where they were about to settle.

The Baili who was left behind looked around the yard and the house with little interest, shook his head at the three of them, and then began to stare at "Wen Tao".

Qi Zhuyue, who had tensed up to play someone else from the beginning of the meeting, relaxed and was stared at by her own people not long after, she folded her arms and took a step aside.

"Mr. Bai, don't you go to check with me?" Hurry up and look, don't stay here, she is under a lot of pressure!

The black-haired young man raised his eyelids and glanced at the building again: "Isn't it obvious at a glance? It's no big problem."

Maybe it's a little bit of a problem, but it's harmless, and it's not a trap designed by ghosts like the version of the residence that human beings are worried about.

After hearing this, Qi Zhuyue had a big question mark in her heart, but she didn't want to ask how she could tell it just by looking at it.

Because she was still in the village and couldn't take off her disguise, she rubbed her face and changed the subject: "Looking at the village along the way, it seems to be quite normal on the surface, except that the humidity is a little high."

"It's strange that the humidity is so high... What season is this?" The reply came from a distant house, and the inch-cut police officer wearing sunglasses walked out of one room and turned directly into the next one, "Tu There are signs of rain on the road."

Yes, a dirt road, a dirt road that will step into a puddle if it is not good, makes people feel bad.

Water droplets were slowly dripping from the roof tiles, and there were some mud spots on the trouser legs. Fortunately, the texture of the ground in the yard was different, which gave people the courage to step on it.

Qi Zhuyue: "Compared to the rain, the road seems to have been soaked in water for several days...it's too difficult to walk."

The human female sighed faintly, the living conditions were okay, but this village always gave her a premonition.

Should it be said that it is indeed the mountain village that is pointed to the source of the doppelganger?
After Qi Zhuyue sighed, after the inspection of the house over there, the room could be allocated. She planned to invite Bai Li to go in together, but when she turned her head, she found that the black-haired young man was no longer by her side.

Qi Zhuyue:?When did you leave, why are you silent!
The human female looked around the yard blankly, and finally found a... persimmon tree in the yard. Wen Tao's memory told her that the black-haired youth was found on the tree of the persimmon tree.

She no longer wanted to ask Baisu how she climbed up. She saw the black-haired young man sitting on a thick branch looking out to the direction outside the courtyard.

"You two, come in quickly!" Xia Chengyin, who hadn't seen anyone passing by for a long time, turned back and shouted outside the house. He glanced at the two figures on the tree and under the tree, "...how did you climb the tree? Hey, Did you find anything?"

Baisu didn't nod or shake his head, just jumped down from the tree like a cat.

He met the eyes of the officer with a short hair, and pouted his chin outward: "The fog is a bit heavy, and the air quality is not very good."

To be precise, both the mountain and the village are filled with a rotten smell. To humans, it is just damp water vapor, but to him... there is also a fishy smell.

It's not that he doesn't eat fish.

It's the unprocessed fishy smell that really doesn't smell good.

Baisu pinched her nose and followed the humans into the house.

After inspection of the house, no problems were found, neither scientific nor metaphysical monitoring problems, structurally speaking, it was an ordinary residence.

As for the furniture and items inside, after a quick look, they all have a sense of age, and they have been purchased for a long time.

The house that Wen Tao's parents left in the village has two rooms for people to live in. One room has an obvious atmosphere of children and girls, and the other room should be lived by the husband and wife.

Now here comes the problem, there are five of them.

It is known that Qi Zhuyue must occupy a single room, and the remaining room needs four people... definitely not possible.

Going to borrow other people's houses in the village...don't think about it for now.

In the end, human beings chose to move the table on the kang, and the people squeezed together. If it was impossible to make a bed on the floor, Gao Tianyi would be driven to sleep in the utility room next door.

Underage high school student: "Crooked?"

Underage high school student: "Yes? Why are you persecuting me?"

Under Gao Tianyi's argument, he was not driven to sleep in the utility room, but forced Xia Chengyin, who made the suggestion, to sleep on the floor together.

In September and October, the temperature in the mountains is relatively low, even adults with strong bodies need to lay several layers of quilts on the ground.

Baisu, who was forced to share the kang with Tang Nuo, glanced at the width of the kang, and moved the table back silently.

He doesn't have any requirements on where to sleep, but is it troublesome if he wants to sneak away at night?
Sure enough, I still have to do some little tricks on the way to dinner later.

The big and small ones at the bottom went to move the quilts after the trouble, and I don't know what the original owner of the house thought, a box full of thick and thin quilts.

Ask Qi Zhuyue this question, she thinks about Wen Tao's memory, and answers uncertainly: "Maybe it's because she changed it frequently? Or maybe it was bought after Wen Tao left the village."

Putting aside questions for which he could not come up with an answer, Baisu searched the entire room when humans were busy, large and small chests of drawers, closet doors that could be opened and closed, and even the The flowerpots with flowers were not spared.

There are still flowers in the house that has been vacant, and it looks like it is still well-cared for.

You see, even though it has been raining heavily in the village, the flowers placed on the window sill have not been wet, and are still tender and tender.

Baisu guessed that someone had come to the house not long ago, moved the flower pots inside the house before the rain, and moved the flower pots back to the original place after the rain.

Or—it wasn't raining at all.

Brushing the soft petals with his fingertips, he pushed the flowerpot out and closed the window.

The human beings who had finished laying the quilt in the room were also lost in thought.

"I always feel that something is weird, but I can't say it... What do you think, Brother Xia?"

"I feel the same way you do."

After the representative of the intuition department finished speaking, the human beings turned their attention to Baisu.

After being stared at for a while, Baisu realized that it was time for him to speak.

"I think..." The black-haired young man raised his chin, "It hasn't rained before."

"Wait, I didn't ask you this...? What is it that it's not raining—"

Before Xia Chengyin finished speaking, a short scream came from the next room.

Seeing the human male's movement, Baisu paused for a second, and then both the one wearing glasses and the one with short hair rushed out immediately, leaving only the minor who was half a beat behind and the black-haired youth who didn't move at all.

Move still needs to move.

Gao Tianyi followed closely behind, Baisu could only stand up and slowly fell behind.

It goes without saying that the person who screamed was Qi Zhuyue who was alone in the next room.

The shouts of the human females were actually not loud, it was just that the courtyard was too quiet to be harsh. If it was louder, the residents in the distance might be able to hear it.

The screaming died down, and at the same time there were urgent footsteps in the house.

She was backing away, slamming into the door quickly, twisting her hands behind her back.

The door opened outwards, and Qi Zhuyue bumped into Xia Chengyin's shoulder.

If you ask her how she feels, just say one word, the muscles are so hard and painful.

Baisu arrived at the next door at the latest, and the door was already occupied by humans, so he opened the inner window, leaned against the window and looked in.

Ink dots were scattered all over the room, and the somewhat familiar black was entrenched there. After being watched by many people, it squirmed and jumped into the window that opened outwards on the other side, smashed through the slit and rushed out.

A familiar shadow, a familiar attack.

Qi Zhuyue, who had the appearance of "Wen Tao", fell to the ground, covering her shoulders with her hands.

Got rubbed?Baisu thought, doesn't that mean that they will reduce their staff just after entering the village?
