For the gate of a farmhouse, the door lock is generally installed inside, and there is a round hole on the door, which is used to put a hand in to open and close the door. Please search Pinshu.com to see the most complete and updated Ye Qiuling's house is no exception.

Ye Xiaomeng reached in and touched the door, but the latch was not locked, so she pulled the door open.

"Aunt Qiuling, my dad asked me to ask you something" he yelled and walked in.

Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma waited outside. A few minutes later, Ye Xiaomeng came back and waved to them: "We're not at home, we can look around."

"Is it suitable for this in broad daylight?" Xiao Ma was a little apprehensive about breaking into other people's houses in broad daylight. Looking left and right, it was probably because of the drought and people were afraid of the sun. There was no one on both sides of the road, so he went with Ye Shaoyang Walked into the courtyard door.

The main room of Ye Qiuling's house was also unlocked. The three of them walked in and looked around in the shortest time possible. The furnishings in every part of the house were the same as those of ordinary farm houses, except that the floor was dusty and there were many footprints. The bed was relatively clean.

Ye Shaoyang came to the kitchen and checked the cooker and stove. There was dust everywhere, and he couldn't help feeling: "Looking at the situation, I haven't started a business for at least half a year. Does this Ye Qiuling not have to eat?"

Ye Xiaomeng frowned and said, "Maybe she doesn't live here anymore, she moved to the workshop."

"Then why did she come back to sleep?" Ye Shaoyang said, "there is less dust on the bed, and there are footprints on the ground, which means that she will come back to sleep at least occasionally. So here comes the problem: this is her home after all, even if she only comes back to sleep occasionally, she will not sleep." Maybe they haven't cleaned for a long time, I don't believe there are such useless people in the world."

Xiao Ma scratched his head and said, "Before you moved here, the people in our dormitory were similar to this."

Ye Xiaomeng nodded, and said: "This Ye Qiuling really has a problem, let's go, let's go to her steamed bun workshop, she might be there."

Coming out of Ye Qiuling's house, Ye Xiaomeng led the way and followed the cement road to the mountain. After passing the village, there were layers of terraced fields on the mountain. But right now it's a drought, and as far as the eye can see, the land is dry and cracked, withered grass. There is no scene of green shoots and emerald green.

Ye Shaoyang sighed, and said: "Even if the drought is eliminated now, the water and soil will not be able to grow back within a year or so."

Beside some terraced fields, there are some small houses. According to Ye Xiaomeng, these are well houses. Because the water supply on the mountain is inconvenient, the lower places have deep wells to draw water directly. Of course, since the drought, these The wells also ran dry.

Hearing this, Xiao Ma wondered, "I don't understand. Isn't the well water supposed to be groundwater? Even if there is a drought, can't it drain the entire groundwater system?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Water seepage from a well is a slow process. You think it's a water pipe. The speed at which the water is absorbed by the Hanba exceeds the speed at which groundwater seeps out, and the well will of course dry up."

The pony was startled and said, "So, the Hanba has been absorbing water for cultivation all the time."

"Nonsense, what do you think?"

Ye Xiaomeng glanced at Ye Shaoyang and said, "You seem to know a lot."

Ye Shaoyang pretended to be stupid and laughed, "I can't do spells, but we have a lot of Taoist classics in Longhu Mountain. I read a lot of books and understand a little more theoretical knowledge. You should have a lot of such classics in Xuanqing Mountain, right?"

Ye Xiaomeng let out a casual "um" and didn't say much.

Ye Xiaomeng led them around the terraced fields for a while, then stopped suddenly, pointed to a small house made of bricks not far away and said: "My father said that this house is the workshop of Ye Qiuling's family. "

Ye Shaoyang frowned and said: "There is not even a marker here, and the houses are all the same, how do you know?"

"It's very simple. My dad said that her workshop is across three ridges to the west of my cropland. The first house is that. I can't even know where my cropland is."

Since the door of the workshop faced downhill, the three of them decided to bypass the room and look in from the rear window, so that if Ye Qiuling was inside, the possibility of being discovered by her would be reduced.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked down the mountain path and approached the rear window of the workshop.

The three of them huddled together and looked into the window. The light was a bit dim, but the room was small and there were not many things, so they could barely see inside.

Inside was a large steamer against the wall, probably for steaming steamed buns. There were some noodle bags scattered under the pot. On the other side of the room, there was a bed with a person lying on his back.

At a glance, it was a dark-skinned woman, very thin, about thirty or forty years old, lying on the bed straight, motionless.

The three of them stared at her for a while, and found that her belly was beating slightly, not like breathing, but as if something was wriggling under the skin, pushing her belly up.

Ye Shaoyang beckoned, stepped aside first, and waited for the two of them to come over, discussing in a low voice.

"Is this Ye Qiuling?" Ye Shaoyang asked.

Ye Xiaomeng tilted her head and thought for a while, "I've never met Ye Qiuling, but the characteristics match the ones my dad described to me, so it's probably her."

Xiao Ma said: "If it wasn't for her belly still moving, I really thought she was dead."

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You've seen people's belly twitch when they breathe, there must be something in her stomach."

The little horse said in surprise: "What?"

"I don't know. But she may not be alive anymore."

Ye Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "You can use spells to check the corpse aura in the room. If she is really dead, there must be corpse aura gathering in the room."

"It's useless." Before she finished speaking, Ye Shaoyang waved his hand, "I forgot to tell you, the entire Yinxianji has been casted by people, and unless the conventional spells are contact, nothing can be detected. "

"Why is this happening?" Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed.

"I don't know." Ye Shaoyang returned to the window, staring at Ye Qiuling who was lying on the bed, without blinking his eyes.

Ye Xiaomeng and Xiao Ma also came together again to watch.

After a while, Ye Shaoyang sighed, and said in a breathy voice: "She is dead."

The pony was startled: "How do you know?"

"If you pay attention, you will know that there is no ups and downs between her chest and abdomen. Although her belly is trembling, it is definitely not breathing. A living person will definitely not look like this."

Ye Xiaomeng suggested whether to take the risk of going in through the door to check it out. At this moment, a rustling sound came from the other corner of the room, and the three of them immediately turned their heads to see that a cat was coming out of the front pocket. , in the dark, its two eyes emit two beams of red light, which looks a bit creepy.

Ye Shaoyang immediately told them to retreat.
