After thinking hard for a while, with her whole face almost squeezed together, Li Xiaomei slowly said: "My cousins ​​are twins! But I haven't seen them for a long time. The last time I saw them was a few years ago. My mother said that the eldest cousin went out to work."

"Going out to work?" Lin Luo's eyes trembled slightly. This was a little different from what the fair-skinned young man said, but it was also possible that they were not the same person.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is your younger cousin the one who takes medicine every day?"

"Well, how do you know?" Li Xiaomei looked at Lin Luo with some curiosity.

Lin Luo's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm. He chuckled and said, "We had breakfast at their house yesterday morning."

Li Xiaomei nodded in sudden realization, and then continued to pick vegetables, muttering, "My cousin is indeed a bit pitiful. I have only seen her from a distance twice so far, and she has never left the house."

As Li Xiaomei muttered, Lin Luo also confirmed that the cousin in Li Xiaomei's mouth was the one in the white-skinned young man's mouth. But they were talking about the same person, but told two completely different stories.

Just when Lin Luo and Li Xiaomei were chatting happily, a woman came in with a basket of vegetables. When she saw Lin Luo, she was stunned.

"Gui, distinguished guest?" she asked in surprise.

Hearing this voice, Lin Luo couldn't help but raise his head and look at the middle-aged woman. She saw that her skin was rough and dark, and her figure was not tall, but her eyebrows did have some similarities with Li Xiaomei.

"Mom." Seeing this woman, Li Xiaomei quickly stood up and shouted, then put down the vegetables in her hand and hurried over to help the middle-aged woman lift the basket.

"Hello, auntie!" Lin Luo also stood up and greeted the middle-aged woman politely. He knew in his heart that the middle-aged woman in front of him should be Li Xiaomei's mother.

After a while, Lin Luo slowly left Li Xiaomei's house, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes full of contemplation.

Just now, he heard another version of Li Xiaomei's cousin from Li Xiaomei's mother, which gave him a deeper understanding of this family.

Li Xiaomei's eldest cousin is named Li Bing, and her younger cousin is named Li Rou.

Their personalities are just as their names suggest. Li Bing is generous and cheerful, while Li Rou seems weak and sickly.

Although the two have the same appearance, their fates are completely different.

Li Bing was doted on by her parents since she was young. All the delicious food was given to her first. In terms of clothing, she was given priority to satisfy her elder sister's needs. When her elder sister grew up and could no longer wear the clothes, the clothes would be passed on to her younger sister.

Such differences led to a world of difference between the two people's lives.

The reason is actually very simple, because Li Bing is strong and can help the family share housework, and her academic performance is also very good.

If there were no accidents in the middle, she might have become the first college student in the village.

However, Li Rou's situation is very different.

Since birth, it seems that it was caused by brain hypoxia. She has been weak and sick since childhood. Not only can she not help the family, but she also often has to take various traditional Chinese medicines, which makes the already poor family even worse.

This made Li's father, who was somewhat feudal and superstitious, unhappy with Li Rou. When Li Rou was a child, his father wanted to throw her into the river and drown her several times, just as if he didn't have this daughter, and he completely regarded her as a disaster.

But fortunately, they were all stopped by the villagers, so there was no tragedy.

Slowly, life went on like this.

Until that incident happened.

As for what exactly happened, Li Xiaomei's mother did not say it clearly. No matter how Lin Luo tried to inquire, the other party was always vague and did not make it clear.

This made Lin Luo speechless. It had come to this point, and they were still playing dumb.

Now Lin Luo already knew three versions of the story about Li Bing's family.

The first was the fair-skinned young man. His story was very simple. Li Bing died, so Li Ma and others naturally treated Li Rou better.

The second was Li Xiaomei. In her story, Li Bing did not die but went out to work.

The last was the vague story told by Li Xiaomei's mother.

Anyway, in the three stories, about Li Bing, either he went out to work, died, or disappeared.

This forced him to connect the weirdness of this world with Li Bing.

But he also became a little confused.

The various weird things in the village now seemed to have nothing to do with Li Bing's family.

But why, no matter who is in the village, it seems that they all mention their family intentionally or unintentionally?

This is really a bit contradictory.

From the beginning of the inquiry, those women accidentally mentioned that Li Bing's mother went up the mountain to collect herbs in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, Lin Luo's face changed.He felt a little strange, and subconsciously thought to himself: [Where is Li Bing's father? ]

[A woman was asked to go up the mountain to collect herbs in the middle of the night? This is unreasonable! Unless the man in their family is not at home, or is not at all...]

Thinking of this, Lin Luo's heart tightened and his brows furrowed tightly.

Then, in the chat with other people in the village, the most mentioned thing was twins, followed by Li Bing's family, and most importantly, Li Bing and Li Rou were twins.

All these coincidences made Lin Luo fall into deep thought.

Just as Lin Luo was thinking, a figure hurriedly passed by him.

Lin Luo subconsciously glanced at the other person, only to see that the man was short, slightly bent over, carrying a backpack as tall as himself, and a hatchet hanging around his waist.

Looking at the figure, Lin Luo inexplicably felt a little familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. This seemed to be the aunt of Li Xiaomei, that is, Li Bing's mother.

He looked at the direction where the other party left, which was the direction of the back mountain. He should be planning to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Inexplicably, Lin Luo's eyes flickered again.

After the other party disappeared, he walked in the direction where the other party came from.

He wanted to see that Li Rou.

On the other side.

Wu Shan followed Zhang Yuan and the others to search all the way and finally came to the village chief's house. Compared with other villagers, the village chief's house is obviously more imposing. Before entering the yard, the three-story building came into view.

This small building is also unique in the entire village.

Zhang Yuan walked around the village chief's house, trying to find an easy entrance.

In the end, they decided to sneak in from behind the house. There was a pomelo tree there. Although it was not particularly tall, it was tightly attached to the wall of the village chief's house. There happened to be a thick branch extending into the yard.

"You keep watch here for me, I'll go in first." Zhang Yuan was quite agile. He jumped easily, grabbed a section of the tree trunk, and then used a simple abdominal swing to successfully climb up the pomelo tree.

He squatted on the tree. The leaves were not dense, but they were enough to cover his figure.

He carefully observed the yard and found that it was empty and there was no one inside.

So he carefully climbed up the wall, and then with a light jump, he successfully entered the yard of the village chief's house.
