"Are you injured?" Tang Nuo asked the same question, "Was it scratched? Let me take a look."
The police officer wearing glasses squatted down and was about to check, when he saw Qi Zhuyue covering her shoulders and speaking quietly: "No injuries, just bumped into Senior Xia's chest... cough, muscles."
After explaining vaguely, Qi Zhuyue waved her hands to indicate that she was fine, and just stood up with the help of others.
Xia Chengyin had already entered the room and was observing the situation with a frown on his face. He walked from one corner of the room to the other, followed by an underage high school student who was following suit with a magnifying glass.
When he came to a stop at the end, his sudden U-turn caused Xia Chengyin and the minor behind him to hit their heads together.
The short-haired police officer said angrily: "What magnifying glass, your compass or other props?"
The underage high school student covered his forehead in pain: "It's useless to take it out now, so I just grabbed a magnifying glass to make do."
"If not, just bring me a few bags to take samples!"
"oh."
The young man responded with a suppressed voice, and was about to turn around and go back to the room to get something. When he didn't want to walk past the open window, he suddenly saw a hand stretched out in front of his eyes.
Appearing like a ghost, pale in the light, as if his transparent hands were holding the tools Gao Tianyi needed.
Seeing that there was no answer, the hand waved.
The young man's adrenaline was so high that his breathing became rapid for a moment, but he soon calmed down.
This is a human hand.
Or the hand of someone he knew.
"Brother Bai..." Gao Tianyi's mouth twitched, "Don't be scary."
The hand shook again, and then the owner of the hand raised his body and simply rolled in from the window.
Bai Su crossed the low window and stood in the room. While handing over the things, he also squatted next to the "ink spots" on the ground.
Bai Su put on the gloves very consciously, even though he didn't need it. He touched a piece of it, rubbed it on his hand and twisted it.
The familiar stickiness and familiar color seem to be the black sludge that humans are trapped in.
"Don't touch too much." Seeing that Bai Su was wearing special gloves, Xia Chengyin changed his reprimand to a sentence of dissuasion.
Bai Su didn't even listen. He continued to touch the ground and disposed of a few ink spots while the human being wasn't paying attention.
Nice, cola flavored.
A small piece of the glove was swallowed by Bai Xu. Fortunately, humans had no intention of recycling the glove. Bai Su stood up as if nothing had happened, took off the glove and stuffed it back into his pocket, preparing to destroy it later.
"It's black sludge." After making a simple judgment, Xia Chengyin pressed the collected viscous liquid into a small box and stored it before handing the box to Gao Tianyi.
Director Gao Xiaodao took the box, swiped two copies, slapped them on, pasted them completely, and finally carefully put the box back into his schoolbag.
It was obvious that Qi Zhuyue had just suffered a sudden attack.
When asked what happened, Qi Zhuyue simply said: "I was looking in the mirror."
She had checked the room before and did not look through it in detail. She only caught a glimpse of the gray mirror while putting her bag and spreading the bedding.
The turbid and unclear texture flashed by, and when I looked back, I saw an ordinary mirror, reflecting the figure of "Wen Tao".
The woman with braids was a little concerned, so she put down the things in her hands and walked to the mirror.
This is an oval mirror connected to the table. There is also a drawer cabinet for storage on the table. Now that it is opened, it is empty, but judging from the residual smell, some women's cosmetics should have been stored in the past.
Qi Zhuyue glanced at all these things, and most of her attention was still on the mirror. She carefully tapped the mirror with the eyebrow pencil in the bag, and the mirror made a crisp sound. She wiped it with paper, except Hui saw nothing.
It seems like there is nothing...ugh!
The human woman glanced out of the corner of her eye and caught a glimpse of black behind herself in the mirror.
The black color enlarged sharply, and she was about to hit Qi Zhuyue. After Qi Zhuyue gave a short scream, she dwarfed and rolled backwards.
"Paji."
The black color hit the countertop under the mirror, leaving a faint ink mark.
After that, there were several chases. The people next door rushed in, and the black sludge, which was no longer suitable for attack, fled through the window.
"Looks like we need to close the windows." Someone murmured softly.
Qi Zhuyue was not injured when the black mud suddenly appeared this time, but that doesn't mean she will be fine next time.
As the commander of this mission, Xia Chengyin rubbed his forehead: "Qi Zhuyue, you can't live alone."
"Ah..." The woman who had already stood up from the ground looked around, "I..."
The implication was that Qi Zhuyue was asked to choose one of the remaining four male companions to live with. In theory, it was better to choose the underage Gao Tianyi, but the young man refused to let go of his brother Xia no matter what. There are only two choices left.
Either Tang Nuo or Bai Su.
The human woman's eyes wandered between the two of them. When her eyes drifted towards the black-haired young man, she was stung by the smile raised by the other person and recalled some not-so-good memories.
Qi Zhuyue said decisively: "Senior Tang, please disturb Senior Tang!"
Tang Nuo nodded: "No, I'm the one interrupting."
Bai Su, who was inexplicably disliked, held his chin, somewhat understanding why he was not chosen.
But the monster doesn't really care. Instead of watching human women acting suspiciously in front of him, it would be more interesting to watch... watching adults and minors quarreling.
The black-haired young man who had returned to his room sat on the kang and looked at the two "incomprehensible" people below him with confusion.
Although, there is still a place on this kang. Why do humans insist on two people sleeping on the floor?
Monsters don’t understand, monsters respect blessings.
…
Today's day's itinerary consisted of driving for most of the day in the morning, having a simple meal in the car at noon, and arriving at Wenjia Village after noon.
After that, they were taken into the house where they were staying, and walked around several times, exploring the house thoroughly and setting up relevant alarm props. This operation was mainly carried out by the minors in the team.
In Gao Tianyi's words, the products produced by Qianheguan must be high-quality.
There are also small means by special departments, which are the second level of guarantee.
The courtyard was quiet and undisturbed for the rest of the afternoon, until there was a knock on the door.
As a village with a population of less than 30 households, and a place where happy events come together, even if the courtyard they were staying in was already far away from the center of the village, such tranquility would be too bland.
The knock on the door was accompanied by the sound of a dog barking.
Someone's dog ran over and barked outside the door, making people upset.
Several people in the room looked at each other, and finally decided that Qi Zhuyue would answer the door.
"Who is it?" The woman with braided braids opened the courtyard door a little further. At first glance she didn't see anyone outside, but at the second glance she lowered her head following the barking of dogs.
She saw a little girl holding a ball. Beside her was a pretentious, yellow-tongued dog that kept barking.
"Wen Tao" opened the door halfway and squatted down: "You are...?"
Her lips are red and her teeth are white. She is nothing like the little girl who grew up in the mountains, holding her head high and blinking her dark eyes at "Wen Tao". She was wearing a red floral skirt and raised her hand holding the ball.
"Hello, sister." The little girl said crisply, "I heard from grandma that there are outsiders in the village, but I didn't expect that it was sister you who brought your friends back."
"Ah... yes, that's right, I just came back today." "Wen Tao" responded, "So you are...?"
The little girl introduced herself with a sweet smile. She said she was a child of a family at the entrance of the village. She caught a glimpse of them playing in the yard when they entered the village to greet people. The elders in the family were busy with something at the moment. She sneaked over to play.
"Wen Tao":......
The human woman lifted a handful of braids that hung on her chest and said gently, "You can't run away without saying hello to the elders. It's better for children to go home quickly."
The little girl held the ball and rolled her eyes. She did not answer "Wen Tao"'s words, but stood on tiptoes and looked in.
Finally, the girl continued to say sweetly: "Sister, can I go inside and play?" As if in response, the yellow dog next to the girl also barked twice.
Ah, is this the child in the village? How can you run to the door of someone you don't know and ask to come in and play when you meet them for the first time?
And...she subconsciously felt that the little girl was talking about more than just playing with a ball.
"Wen Tao" took a breath of the moist air between her mouth and nose, and politely declined: "No, my sister just returned to the village and hasn't packed up yet. If you want to come and play..."
She stopped mid-sentence, not wanting to extend the invitation.
"Wen Tao" paused for a moment and continued: "Children, you should go play with the children and go home quickly."
The little girl still refused to leave. She stood there eagerly holding the ball.
At this time, another person walked out of the yard.
The black-haired young man opened the door wider out of curiosity, half-crouched down in imitation of "Wen Tao", and stared directly at the little girl.
It was a very disharmonious competition between big eyes and small eyes, and in the end the bigger one won.
A few tears squeezed out of the little girl's sour eyes, she pursed her lips and rubbed her eyes, holding the ball in one hand and taking a step back.
She glanced at Bai Su accusingly, then kicked her legs, turned around and wanted to run away.
Bai Su reached out and held the little girl's shoulders while "Wen Tao" looked at her incomprehensively.
"Wen Tao" quickly turned her head away and signaled with her eyes: Why are you stopping her? Let this little girl go?
Bai Su understood the gesture in his eyes. He put his arm around the little girl's shoulder and said, "Let me take her back."
Little girl in floral red dress: "?"
Bai Su: "We were walking into the village in a hurry, and I haven't taken a good look at the scenery in the village. I saw that some people had hung colorful lanterns and red window grilles. What are we going to do?"
The little girl in a floral red dress: "Wedding... birthday party, let me go."
The little girl broke free for a while but failed to break free from Bai Su's shackles.
This is normal. How can a seven or eight-year-old girl escape the power of an adult?
Bai Su pressed the little girl and he also glanced at "Wen Tao" a few times, but unfortunately their brain waves were not on the same channel, and "Wen Tao" did not receive it.
The human woman opened her mouth, and finally responded randomly according to her own understanding: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Wen Tao" keeps in mind the rules for two or more people to act together.
Quickly sending a message to the people still in the house, "Wen Tao" waved her hand inwards and closed the courtyard door.
Turning around, the black-haired young man standing on the side of the road had already taken the little girl's hand. If you didn't look at the latter's reluctant face, the two of them looked like a brother and sister walking around with their sister.
You see, the little girl also has an unusually fair complexion. Her black hair is loosely tied into two low ponytails on the back of her head. Her eyes of the same color look at the black-haired young man who is several heads taller than her from time to time, as if she is looking for an escape. direction.
But every time she ran out for a few steps, Bai Su would catch her back, making it look like a brother and sister.
"Wen Tao" didn't say much and walked over.
When Bai Su saw someone coming, he grabbed the little girl and walked forward.
Yes, grab her wrist and move forward.
There was a vague resistance under Bai Su's hand. The seven or eight-year-old girl pouted reluctantly and kept glancing at her feet.
The big yellow dog that was spotted by the little girl no longer had the same wild attitude when he called at the door. Now it is completely acting like a dog with its tail between its legs. When someone looks at it, it will whimper a few times and wag its tail in a flattering manner.
"Wen Tao" looked at it and finally said the complaint she had been holding back for a long time: "This dog seems a little afraid of you."
The local dog is used to being domineering in the village, so it was quite impressive when he shouted at the door.
Bai Su took the little girl's hand and replied, "Maybe I still have the aura of Little Bai No. 2? My Bichon Frize is quite intimidating."
The big yellow dog then whined twice, as if confirming Bai Su's words.
The little girl holding the ball glared angrily at the dog at her feet. Unable to resist, she simply gave up and led the people towards her home while giving childlike answers to some of Bai Su's questions.
For example, what is the reason for hanging lanterns in this house? For example, if that house has a 囍 character on its window, does it mean they are getting married? Or, where does the path in front of me go up the mountain?
The little girl answered the first two questions, but for the last one she hesitated for a long time and said one word - temple.
She couldn't tell exactly what temple it was. She was still young and had no access to it. She only heard from her elders in the family that there was a temple on the mountain.
Bai Su and "Wen Tao" looked at each other and felt that if there were any night outings at night, a place like the temple must be visited.
There were no more problems on the road back. The little girl's home was located at the entrance of the village as she said, near the tree where they saw several old ladies sitting around not long after they entered the village.
There was no one there at this time. Judging by the time, they should have gone home and prepared for dinner.
When the little girl arrived at the door of the house, she couldn't wait to run in. She hid behind her grandmother, who she didn't know was her grandmother, and made a face at Bai Su.
The elderly female said thank you with a smile and her eyes closed. She saw that Bai Su and the others were from outside the village and saw them coming in at noon.
He asked politely if he wanted to stay for dinner. After receiving a negative answer, he still smiled with narrowed eyes and pointed the way to Wen Jianyuan's house.
"You guys can stroll over slowly now and you'll almost be in time for dinner. Thank you for sending Ah Hong back."
The old man thanked him and closed the door, and then the warm light in the room turned on.
On the way to Wen Jianyuan's house, Qi Zhuyue looked around, made sure there was no one around and asked: "Why did you send that little girl back? There is something wrong with her?" What did your eyes see?
Bai Su raised his head and looked at the mountains, avoiding several puddles, and answered without looking back: "The little girl is fine, the problem is the dog."
"That dog...is the same as those humans after being attacked by black sludge."
