When Wang Yao brought Su Xiaoxue back home, his parents were very happy, especially Zhang's mother. She asked her future daughter-in-law about this and that, leaving his biological son alone.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that Xiaoxue was coming?"
"I didn't know she was coming today." Wang Yao said.
"Don't keep her running back and forth. She's from a girl's house. It's such a long distance. You should take the initiative!" Zhang Xiuying said.
"Hey, I'm going to the capital."
After being educated by his mother, Wang Yao went over to accompany Su Xiaoxue.
In the evening, Zhang Xiuying cooked a large table of dishes.
The family was enjoying themselves together, and Wang Yao stayed at home without going to Nanshan.
A quiet, peaceful night.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yao got up early, and after breakfast, he asked Su Xiaoxue to come out with us. The two of them followed the mountain road to the top of Dongshan Mountain. Zhong Liuchuan and the others had been waiting here for a long time.
"gentlemen."
"Xiaoxue, I've met her before, my wife." Wang Yao introduced her.
"Well, hello, Mistress." Jia Zizai took the lead in greeting with a smile.
"Jia Zizai, Hu Mei, the couple I told you about."
"Hello, Master Wife."
"Hey." Su Xiaoxue responded softly, her face flushed, and she felt that the title "Master's Wife" was weird for her, but it was also sweet.
Then they started practicing for the day, with Su Xiaoxue watching quietly from the side.
"Well, I feel like they have the same aura as me, but the one named Zhong Liuchuan is better. The aura of the couple is so weak, almost nonexistent."
Wang Yao gave them some pointers,
After the practice, they went down the mountain individually, while Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue went up Nanshan.
It is already winter, and the earth is basically colorless and lonely, but the vegetation on the Nanshan Mountain is green and full of life, just like spring.
The breath here makes people feel comfortable, like a spring breeze, breathing is smooth, and the whole body is relaxed, an inexplicable pleasure.
"Drink tea." Wang Yao brewed a cup of tea for Su Xiaoxue, which came from the mountain tea on Nanshan Mountain.
"Thanks."
"There are also fruits." Wang Yao brought out the fruits.
There are apples, dates, and grapes, all kinds of things. Deliciously tender.
"It's this time, are you still picking up fruit?"
"I keep picking them up, but not as much as in summer. The taste is still the same." Wang Yao said with a smile.
Since the summer of this year, the fruit on Nanshan has never been exhausted. He can't finish it himself, and he will also take it down the mountain and mail some to Su Xiaoxue in the capital, and even occasionally give some to Zhong Liuchuan and the others. They were all full of praise after eating it.
"It's delicious." Su Xiaoxue said.
Jizhou, adjacent to Qi Province, is a fourth-tier city. In a relatively high-end hotel.
There were two people sitting in the private room. One was Xu Xinyuan, who had just arrived by plane from thousands of miles away. Sitting opposite him was a man in his thirties with a square face, small eyes, and a slightly pale complexion.
"How's it going? Are you still used to living here?"
"It's the same everywhere, just like duckweed without roots."
"Look at these photos." Xu Xinyuan handed the photos Guo Zhenghe gave him to him.
After the man took it, his expression changed and he looked very ugly.
"This is the God Burial Lake!" He recognized the place in the photo at a glance.
"what are they doing?"
"The custom in the village is to bury the gods. Another popular name is to feed the fish."
"Feed the fish? Use live humans!"
"Haha, there are only a few people employed. Only those who are very disobedient or strange intruders will suffer this kind of punishment. Under normal circumstances, we use livestock such as cattle and sheep."
"This person is most likely the disappeared friend you told me yesterday, Miao Qinghe who escaped from Thousand Medicine Valley with you."
"I guessed it." The man said sadly.
"Miao Xinhe, do you want to change your life here or choose another city, forget the past, and start over?" Xu Xinyuan said.
"Think about it, what do you want to know from me?"
"What you didn't tell me last time was that, in fact, just after you left, another murder occurred in He County. Three people died at once, and the symptoms were the same as the previous few times. Then your friend disappeared , and then these photos appeared." Xu Xinyuan said.
"I want to know who did these things, who killed them, and who took these photos," Xu Xinyuan said.
The people who were able to take the photos were most likely in the "Thousand Medicine Valley". After all, it was at night. There was a certain degree of confidentiality in the sacrifices they held. He also supported Miao Xinhe in mentioning them. This village looks quite peaceful, and the people living there are carefree, but in fact the clan leader has very strong control over this village. No matter it is day or night, there are always people in this village. We are constantly patrolling, and we will deal with it as soon as we find any abnormal situation, especially if strangers come in from the outside. Once we find that they have evil intentions towards the village, we must deal with them immediately, not just In the village, there are patrols on the mountains and in the woods outside, as well as traps.
It can be said that the "Thousand Medicine Valley" is very tightly guarded, and the location is extremely remote. Few people come here on weekdays, so the contents inside have never been leaked, let alone that person. Feeding the fish is such a big deal.
"This should be done by people in the village." Miao Xinhe thought for a while and said.
"What's the purpose?"
"It's very clear. This person who exposed these crimes in the village is definitely very dissatisfied with Miao Xihe." Miao Xinhe said.
"who is it?"
"How do I know? Although I have lived in the village for a long time, I still don't know some things. There are hundreds of people in the village, and those are the people I often come into contact with."
"Tell me about the Miaoxi River."
He was very interested in the clan leader of the "Thousand Medicine Valley".
"He, he is a strange person, an expert." Miao Xinhe said.
"Oh, he is still your enemy!?"
"Yes, he is my enemy, but objectively speaking, he is indeed such a person. He has superb medical skills, is proficient in poison, and his kung fu is extremely advanced. His current age should be seventy-eight years old ”
"What, are you sure!" Xu Xinyuan was stunned when he heard this, because the news he got from Guo Zhenghe was that this Miao Xihe looked to be in his forties. This was what Guo Zhenghe had heard from Yang Guanfeng. . I think Captain Yang won't lie to others, and there is no need to lie to others about this matter.
"I am sure."
"Hiss, he has the ability to stay calm?"
"Haha, not only is he good at staying, he is not inferior to those young men in their twenties in terms of spirit and structure." Miao Xinhe said.
"Continue." Xu Xinyuan said.
Miao Xinhe fell silent.
Xu Xinyuan took out a package and silently pushed it in front of him.
"Haha." Miao Xinhe shook his head with a smile, his smile was very bitter.
"I didn't expect it to come to this point."
"I've already arranged your job for you. You can't get into a public institution. It's a trading company. The work is not heavy and the income is pretty good."
"Hey, thank you."
"You're welcome, I want to know the answer to who caused those three incidents in He County."
"I really don't know about this." Miao Xinhe said.
"In my opinion, no one would do this. Those of us who escaped, to put it bluntly, are all incompetent people. We don't have the courage, let alone the ability, otherwise we wouldn't have to cower like quails. , on tenterhooks, afraid of this and that.”
"Then who has this ability?"
"Nine times out of ten, he is still from the village. Maybe this person should know something." He pointed to the photo on the table.
"The person who took the photo?"
"right."
So who is the person who took these photos? Well, things have entered an endless loop again.
"Well, how did Miao Xihe manage to be eighty years old and still have the body of no more than forty years old?"
"He had a unique way."
