After listening to Lin Qianyi's words, the doubts and uneasiness in my heart deepened. What did Awu mean by the secret of the village? Why did this secret affect Lin Qianyi's safety?
Thinking of this, I said: "No, Sister Lin, I will definitely ask that guy again. Even if I use force, I have to make him speak clearly."
Lin Qianyi immediately grabbed me and said, "Forget it. Ah Wu won't tell you. He told me that just by telling me that there was danger in the village, he had already broken the rules of the village. If he let me
If others find out, their family may not be able to gain a foothold in the village."
"Is this happening?" I asked strangely, "If this is the case, then why did the boy tell you that there is danger in the village?"
Lin Qianyi laughed and said with some pride on her face: "That's because... he fell in love with me."
"Like it?" I was stunned for a moment, but then I thought of something else, "But, he just saw you today? And speaking of it, Sister Lin, you are now my wife on the surface!"
"Who knows? It's probably because I rarely see women outside that Awu behaves like that, right?" Lin Qianyi shrugged, then seemed to notice something on her face, looked at me and smiled: "Four
Nine, what's your expression now? Are you jealous of Ah Wu?"
If it were before, I might have touched my face nervously at this time, and then laughed awkwardly at Lin Qianyi, but this time, I nodded mysteriously: "Yes, Sister Lin, I'm jealous."
Already."
My words made Lin Qianyi's smiling face suddenly freeze. This time, she became embarrassed: "Four, what did you say? Didn't you expect that you can also joke?"
I said, "Sister Lin, I'm not joking."
Suddenly, the scene became very embarrassing. I saw that Lin Qianyi's eyes were a little erratic, and she looked distracted. All this time, hidden deep in my heart, I couldn't help but blurt out what I wanted to say to Lin Qianyi.
But at this moment, Lin Qianyi suddenly put on a serious face and said to me: "Sijiu, that's enough, now is not the time to joke. Let's quickly decide what to do next? What do you think of Awu's words?
?”
Lin Qianyi's somewhat angry expression not only made me panic, but also knocked back my original impulse to confess everything. Without the impulse, I gradually calmed down, and thinking of our current situation, I
I made the decision while smoking just now and spoke it out.
Hearing that I proposed to leave the village and return to the town immediately when I had not found anything yet, Lin Qianyi was a little surprised and said: "Sijiu, do you really plan to go back like this?"
I nodded and said: "Sister Lin, I was too impulsive at the beginning and made an arbitrary decision without thinking about the matter carefully..."
"But we haven't found anything yet?"
"No, although we haven't found Mrs. Xu's whereabouts yet, Sister Lin, if you think about Awu, he will tell you that there is danger here, which proves that there must be something wrong with this village. So I think we should leave now
Village, it would be better to wait for the reinforcements sent by the bureau to arrive before conducting follow-up investigations on the village."
"But……"
I saw that Lin Qianyi was still hesitating, so I was so anxious that I immediately raised my voice and said: "Sister Lin! There is nothing to hesitate about! Do you still remember what happened to Tang Tsai? I don't want you to encounter that kind of danger again.
!If you really encounter any accident, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Realizing that my tone seemed a bit harsh, I lowered my voice again and begged her: "Sister Lin, we are just leaving here temporarily. We are not giving up on the investigation. We will come back when we are ready again."
Lin Qianyi looked hesitant, maybe because she had never seen me like this before. After a while, she finally nodded and said: "Okay, there is indeed a problem in this village. Let's go back to the town and discuss it first."
what to do."
I also affirmed: "Yes, go back to the town first, then report the situation to the bureau and wait for reinforcements, or directly ask the town police to assist in the investigation. It will be much safer than what we are doing now."
In this way, we both reached an agreement and decided to go back to the farmhouse immediately to pick up our luggage, and then leave the village and go down the mountain.
When I returned to Widow Liu's farmhouse, I looked around carefully, but I didn't find Awu's figure. I didn't know whether he ran back home directly or was still hiding outside. But that's fine, I'm afraid of Awu.
After seeing us, they can't help but let out a few words to scare others.
When I saw Widow Liu, she was in the hall on the first floor. When she heard that the two of us wanted to go back down the mountain immediately, Widow Liu was a little surprised and tried to persuade us to stay. She also asked if there was something wrong with her greeting us that caused us to leave.
If you are negligent, we will be forced to leave the village without even staying for one night.
If we hadn't listened to Awu's warning, we might have been moved by Widow Liu's enthusiasm, but after knowing that there was danger in the village approaching Lin Qianyi, I became suspicious of Widow Liu's behavior. She became more and more suspicious.
With such enthusiasm, the more I couldn't help but wonder if the danger Ah Wu told Lin Qianyi came from the Widow Liu in front of me?
Fortunately, after a while, seeing that we had decided to go, Widow Liu finally stopped asking us to stay. However, just when we were about to go upstairs to pick up our luggage, Widow Liu suddenly asked us if we were planning to leave immediately.
Seeing me nodding, Widow Liu said: "Mr. Lin, I'm not trying to scare you. If you leave now, it will be dark before you get out of the mountains. You have also seen the mountain road outside our village, let alone at night.
, even during the day, you have to keep your heart in mind, it is not unheard of for people in the village to fall to death while walking at night..."
I saw that Widow Liu still wanted to persuade us, so I interrupted: "Auntie, please stop trying to persuade us. We have to leave only because of something urgent..."
"No." Widow Liu waved her hand and said, "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. I don't want to persuade you, but I want to give you a suggestion."
"What advice?" I asked her, blinking.
Widow Liu pointed to the upper floor and said: "Actually, there are three gentlemen on the third floor who plan to go down the mountain today. What I mean is that since you are going down the mountain, why not go with those three and look after each other along the way."
I asked, "When do they plan to leave?"
"I'll leave right away, but because they're afraid they'll be hungry when they go down the mountain, they want to have dinner with me first. How about you two having dinner with them before leaving? I've already prepared the food.
Then just add two more pairs of chopsticks."
Lin Qianyi and I looked at each other, and just when we didn't know how to answer, three young men in jackets came down the stairs and asked Widow Liu how the dinner was prepared.
Upon hearing this, Widow Liu said: "Okay, okay, everything is ready, just wait a moment." Then she turned around and asked us how we were thinking about it.
I did not rush to answer, but observed the three men on the side. I saw that their faces were a bit immature, and they looked like students. When I went up to inquire, I found out that they were college students traveling in the provincial capital.
The three college students heard from Widow Liu that we wanted to go down the mountain together. They said there was no problem and warmly invited us to have dinner together.
Because of Wu's warning, everything in the village now feels suspicious to me, so I didn't originally plan to have this dinner. But then I thought about it, if we add these three college students, we will have a total of five outsiders.
At the same time, Widow Liu wouldn't be so bold as to dare to tamper with the food, right? And considering that going down the mountain consumes a lot of energy and being hungry would definitely be dangerous, so in the end, we accepted their invitation.
The dinner prepared by Widow Liu was very sumptuous, including chicken soup, river seafood, wild boar, wild vegetables, etc. After a busy day, Lin Qianyi and I were already hungry. Seeing these dishes, we couldn’t help but move our index fingers. Seeing Lin Qianyi
Qianyi couldn't help but want to sit on the table and when it started, I pulled her outside and told her that we would eat later because I was afraid that there would be something wrong with the food.
"Is there a problem?" Lin Qianyi glared at me and said, "Are you doubting Widow Liu?"
I nodded and said it's always good to be careful.
At this time, I saw that the three college students had already sat on the chairs and started to eat large pieces of food. Seeing that they were eating very delicious food, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual about the food, I put my mind down and went with Lin Qianyi
Put them on the dining table together.
However, although these three college students had already tasted the food for us, I still played a trick and invited Widow Liu to the table before using my chopsticks, saying that I wanted to thank her for her warm hospitality.
Widow Liu was a little embarrassed at first, feeling that this was not appropriate, but seeing that the two of us and the three college students didn't object, she sat down and started eating with us.
It wasn't until I saw Widow Liu touching the food on the table that I finally felt relieved.
At the dinner table, everyone was talking and laughing, and soon became familiar with each other. Halfway through the meal, Widow Liu said that there was another hot dish that was almost ready to be steamed, so she left the table and went to the kitchen to serve the food.
Coincidentally, as soon as Widow Liu left, Ah Wu came back.
When he saw Lin Qianyi at the dining table, his expression suddenly changed. He came over and pointed at me and said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to leave quickly? How can you still have the heart to eat? And you're still here
Here, with these people?”
Hearing something in Ah Wu's words, I was about to ask him what was going on. Suddenly from the kitchen, Widow Liu shouted: "A Wu, what are you talking about? Why are you so rude!"
