Suddenly being stared at coldly by several strangers made my heart go crazy. Their gazes were so strangely intense that those who looked at them felt uncomfortable all over.

I took a cursory glance and found that these people must be in their 50s or [-]s, all dressed as mountain people, and two of them were carrying poles, as if they had just collected something from the mountain. These people might just be because I suddenly felt that several strangers I had never seen appeared, so they looked at us directly. They just stared at us without making any move.

It's just that these people just stood there quietly, and they all seemed weird and mysterious. I was afraid that these people were spies who didn't know which group of people were staying here.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary villager. Anyway, with the little brother here, he will become a local in minutes and will definitely not be suspected. I have already thought of emergency measures for this, and there is nothing we can do...

But thinking about this, I suddenly feel something is wrong. To us, this is homecoming, but to outsiders, we are now thieves. Anyway, we must not climb in again at this time, or we will be sent to the police station for a chat.

Wu Xie was a little overwhelmed by what he saw. His first reaction was to stop and look at those people. Originally, he felt guilty about committing a thief this time and was visibly nervous, but he turned around as if he didn't want to leave at all. Staring at the little brother's wooden building, I guess he was thinking that he couldn't get something that was already within his reach, and he was not willing to accept it.

The fat man behind us made a "beep beep beep beep beep beep beep ~" sound, urging us to retreat quickly. Wu Xie's opinion was quite provocative. Originally, these people might just be passing by. This was his view. If we go down, we will easily make people angry. If they rush down, we will be on Banai's blacklist, let alone find clues.

I lowered my voice and said to him: "Don't look at it. These people are not good people. Let's get out of the way and be natural."

Wu Xie also understood, but he couldn't move and stayed there, so the fat man stopped him and whispered to him: "Come back in the evening, it won't be more than a few hours." while dragging him back.

I naturally asked: "Brother Fatty, where else is there fun and beautiful scenery in Guangxi? Also, I want to eat delicious food. I really couldn't get used to the stewed squirrel yesterday. Maybe it would be better if I changed some seasonings." ?”

The fat man immediately answered: "There are places with great scenery. There are many places to play around here, and there are also many places to eat. Let me tell you..."

The few of us left the wooden building as naturally as tourists would and walked into the village. After walking for a long distance, we turned back and breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that no villagers were following us.

Relying on our memories, we took several detours and returned to Agui's house. Agui was not here at the moment, and his eldest daughter was making dustpans. When she saw us, she asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

Wu Xie said, "It's too hot and I can't bear it." Then he pointed at me who was wilting beside him and said, "Look, our sister is almost melting."

I squinted my eyes and smiled helplessly, thinking, "That hurts!"pain!

When the fat man saw us chatting, he quietly took the box back to the room and hid it under the bed.

Wu Xie sighed and whispered: "The scene just now is a bit like the scene I experienced in Changsha when I was a child. That expression means that they are very wary of us, but they are not sure who we are. It seems that they are very wary of us. It's possible that what we just did was seen.

The feeling just now was like when I was a child and Lao Itch and I went to the orchard to steal oranges. After stealing, we happened to meet the owner of the orchard. The two of us were so scared that our pockets were full of oranges, so we had to pretend to be passing by.That kind of tension makes you unable to move your feet. It feels really uncomfortable, and it's kind of funny. "

The fat man said: "Hey, who dares to turn a blind eye to our little innocence? You are so brave."

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "I was not popular in my hometown at all and was not popular."

The fat man said "Oh" and said: "If good men like us are not popular, it only means that they have no vision. Anyway, we have to learn from the experience and gain wisdom. We should not be so impatient in the broad daylight in the future." , we have to observe the environment first. At the same time, I think we also need to take care of Agui. He is a local snake, and we have to get him to join us. At the critical moment, we have someone to speak for us. Okay, if you are thirsty, I will get it Bring me some water."

Wu Xie was thinking about the unseen photos, which made him feel hot and restless, so he had to lie down and force himself to calm down.

The little brother took me back to the room first and asked Liyue to look at the door. He showed me the injury. I shyly took off my outer blouse and saw that the shoulder that had just been poked was swollen. I didn't dare to go to it at all. It hurts so much to lift it up.

He gently lifted my arm and began to check for swelling and limited movement. He lifted my arm, pulled the elbow on the injured side to my chest, and asked my hand to rest on the opposite shoulder, but It seemed a little difficult. I couldn't help shouting out because of the pain, but I knew I couldn't shout so I bit my lips quickly and my eyes became moist.

Li Yue asked softly: "How is it?"

The little brother said: "It's dislocated and needs to be reset."

With tears in my eyes, I asked him pitifully, "Will it hurt a lot?"

The younger brother said calmly: "Be patient."

Of course I agreed obediently with a "yes".I know that my brother used gentle treatment methods to treat me, trying not to hurt me. If it were another person, he would definitely lift that person's arm and slap it back with a "bang".

He temporarily let go of my left arm and pulled me to sit down on the wooden floor. I held my injured left shoulder. He grabbed my left ankle with one hand and held my left knee with the other hand to make me bend my knees. Then he took my right hand and let me hold the injured wrist and place it in front of my knee.

He wanted to use the force generated by the slow extension of his body and knee joints to pull my small shoulders, but I was extremely nervous and my body was stiff. He held down my hands folded on his knees with one hand to prevent me from letting go. The other hand gradually nudged my right shoulder to make me lean back.After a while, I heard a "click" sound from the joint of my left shoulder. I continued to push me, and then I gradually felt the pain in my left shoulder gradually disappearing. Only when the pain completely disappeared did I let go. Help me up and sit down.

Li Yue asked: "Did you see who it was?"

I shook my head and said, "That man's body was covered in mud, and his facial features were indistinguishable. His movements were so fast that he really couldn't see clearly.

However, I can feel that he is probably a man, about the same height as his brother. He is very agile and powerful. If he competes with his brother, it will probably be a protracted battle.

Moreover, he paused for a moment after pressing me down, and then twisted me hard, and then his shoulder began to hurt, as if he was trying to see my bracelet, and then he sneered, which was quite scary. "

I paused and continued: "Moreover, this person is very ruthless in his attacks. He will kill the opponent with every move he makes. He seems to be happy just to beat the opponent to death."

Li Yue said: "It seems that there is indeed an enemy ambushing here. He couldn't stay still when he saw you entering the little brother's building. You didn't notice him following him. This person's skills are indeed extraordinary."

I guessed and said: "Now there are several possibilities. One scenario is that he recognizes some of us, knows that we are related to this matter, and guesses that we are looking for something. He may not know where the thing is. , as soon as we arrived, he could just sit back and wait, and come and grab the things when we took them out.

Or maybe he doesn’t know us, but he keeps an eye on strangers who come here. He finds us approaching the little brother’s house, thinks that we are people related to the incident, and takes out the things in the house. It’s so hidden. It must be It's very important, no matter what it is, let's talk about it first.

Anyway, I think this person has something to do with "it". "

They both listened attentively, but didn't say anything. The younger brother applied some medicine to me, and Li Yue got me some clean clothes to change into.

The little brother reminded me: "Don't move." Then the little brother and I went out to look for Wu Xie and the others.

Not long after, I heard the fat man asking Agui's daughter: "Where does the mountain road behind the wooden building lead to? Are there usually many people walking there?"

Agui's daughter said: "That's a melon field in the mountains. It's summer and the watermelons are ripe, so people often go up to the mountains to pick watermelons. The old wooden building has been there for a long time. I heard that an old woman lived there before."

As soon as Wu Xie heard "old woman", he suddenly looked at his younger brother with strange eyes. He muttered in a low voice: "Did Menyou Ping live with an old woman before? Oh..." He thought to himself, then he was blank Maybe he was locked up there as a male...slave for 15 years?That would be too tragic.

When I saw Wu Xie's expression was strange, I looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When he saw me tilting my head and staring at him, he was suddenly surprised. He didn't know where the dirty thoughts came from. He probably heard too many dirty jokes from Fatty all the way here. Fortunately, he thought in his heart that he wanted Xiaoxun to listen to him. He thought so much that he couldn't help but beat himself up, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.

I thought to myself, she was so weird, she probably didn't mean anything good, but what was the condition of the old woman... But I suddenly thought of a key point.

I also heard Agui's daughter say: "The time span was not clear before. I only know that an old woman lived there before, and I don't know anything else."

I was thinking, I don’t know what kind of old woman she was. Maybe there was a mysterious old woman who lived there before my brother lived there, or maybe after he left. If she was just a villager, then I definitely don’t know who she is. It's of no use, but if it's the old woman involved in this, I think I might know who it is.

The fat man asked Agui's daughter again: "Are there any unkempt men among you?"

She said: "Well, yes, there is a madman in the village. He has been there since I was born. People in the village call him "Ayu's son". I don't know who he is. It seems that he used to be a hunter. I don't know why. He's crazy. This man lives in a broken house on the mountain. Sometimes I see him coming down to pick up some leftovers to eat. I can't see him much now. He may be too old to walk. There are old people who take pity on him and will Put the food on the mountain pass and cover it with a jar, and he will move the jar away at night and take the food back."

After listening to what she said, I whispered in a low voice: "It's obvious that she is not talking about today's clay figure. I don't know how old that person is, but he is definitely very strong, almost like a beast."

Wu Xie felt strange when he heard this and whispered: "The man I saw today was running like a bull. He didn't look like an old man at all. He couldn't be that the physique of us city people was not as good as the old lunatic in the mountains? But she just said that he was old. I don’t know how old he is, maybe he’s only in his forties, maybe he looks very old because he didn’t eat, drink or was exposed to the weather, but since he has lived in the mountains all year round, his physique must be different from ordinary people.”

The fat man came in with a water cup and said to Wu Xie: "Did you hear that? It's the season for harvesting watermelons. There are too many people over there. Naive, you have to calm down. This place is not like the wilderness. You can do whatever you want. Instead of taking that risk, Let's wait a little. I think it's best if we wait until the middle of the night, and if we can't bear it, we'll have a "poop"."

I said "ah" and said, "That's a small impatience that leads to a big plan, okay..."

Wu Xie thought about it for a while and said: "No, if he is indeed a madman, then his behavior is unpredictable. There is no guarantee that he will not crawl back to take a look. For him, crawling into an abandoned old house in the village is nothing. It's a big deal, who knows what he will do in there. I can't wait, I have to go for a walk after lunch, and if I can get in, I'll go in and take care of it."

The fat man smiled bitterly, knowing that Wu Xie was screwing up again and that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so he didn't want to talk to him any more. It was useless anyway, so he returned: "Okay, then it's up to you."

I looked at the little brother, who didn't react at all, but if there are enemies watching, it would be better for us to watch earlier.
