The door lock of the farmhouse is usually installed inside, and there is a round hole in the door for the hand to reach in to open and close the door.
Ye Qiuling's family is no exception.
Ye Xiaomeng reached in and touched it, but the deadbolt was not locked, so she pulled the door open.
"Aunt Qiuling, my dad asked me to ask you something......" shouted as he walked in.
Ye Shaoyang and Xiaoma were waiting outside, and after a few minutes, Ye Xiaomeng came back and beckoned to them: "I'm not at home, we can take a look around." ” "Is this appropriate in broad daylight?"
Xiao Ma was a little afraid of breaking into someone's house in broad daylight, looking left and right, probably because of the drought and people were afraid of the sun, there was no one on either side of the road, so he walked into the courtyard gate with Ye Shaoyang.
The hall of Ye Qiuling's house was not locked, the three of them walked in and looked around in the shortest possible time, the furnishings in various places in the house were the same as those of ordinary farmhouses, but the ground was dusty, there were many footprints, and the bed was relatively clean.
Ye Shaoyang came to the kitchen, checked the stove, there was dust everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at this situation, at least half a year has not been opened, does this Ye Qiuling not need to eat?"
” Ye Xiaomeng frowned and said, "Probably she didn't live here and 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's the problem: this is her home after all, even if she only comes back to sleep occasionally, it is impossible for her to go uncleaned for a long time, I don't believe that there are such people in the world. ” Pony scratched his head and said, "Before you moved here, a few of us in the dormitory were similar to this......"
Ye Xiaomeng nodded and said, "There is really a problem with this Ye Qiuling, let's go, let's go to her steamed bun workshop to have a look, she may be there." ” Coming out of Ye Qiuling's house, Ye Xiaomeng led the way in front, along the cement road uphill, after passing the village, the mountain is a layer of terraced fields, but now it is a drought, looking at it, the land is dry and cracked, the withered grass is patchy, and there is no longer a scene of green seedlings stacked green.
Ye Shaoyang sighed and said, "Even if you get rid of the drought fish now, if you don't have a year and a half, the water and soil will not be able to be raised." ” Next to some terraced fields, there are some small houses, Ye Xiaomeng introduced that these are well houses, because the water supply on the mountain is inconvenient, so the lower places, all dig deep wells, direct water, of course, since the drought, these wells have also dried up.
When Pony heard this, he wondered, "I don't understand, shouldn't the well water be groundwater, even if there is a drought, can it still suck up the water of the entire underground water system?"
” Ye Shaoyang said: "Water seepage from the well is a slow process, you think it is a water pipe."
The water is absorbed faster than the groundwater seeps out, and the wells are dry. ” The pony exclaimed, "So, the dartfish has been absorbing water and cultivating?
” "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 smiled, "I can't do spells, but we have a lot of Taoist classics in Longhu Mountain, I read a lot of books, and I know a little more about theoretical knowledge."
There should be a lot of such classics on your Maoshan Mountain, right?
” Ye Xiaomeng casually said "um" and didn't say much.
Ye Xiaomeng took them around the terraced fields for a while, then suddenly stopped, pointed to a small house made of bricks not far away, and said, "My father said that this hut is Ye Qiuling's workshop. ” Ye Shaoyang frowned and said, "There is not even a marker here, and the houses are the same, how do you know?"
” "It's very simple, my dad said that her workshop is three ridges to the west of my crop field, and the first house is, I can't even know where my crop is."
Since the door of the workshop was facing down the mountain, the three of them decided to go around the back of the room and look inside from the back window, so that in case Ye Qiuling was inside, it would also reduce the possibility of being discovered by her.
A few minutes later, the trio descended the mountain trail near the back window of the workshop.
The three of them huddled together, looking into the window, the light was a little dim, but the room was small and there weren't many things, so they could barely see inside.
There is a large steamer against the wall, presumably for steaming steamed buns, and there are some noodle pockets scattered under the pot, and on the other side of the room, there is a bed with a person lying on his back.
At a cursory glance, it was a dark-skinned woman, very thin, looking about thirty or forty years old, lying upright on the bed, motionless.
The three of them stared at her for a while, and noticed that there was a slight throbbing of her belly, not like breathing, as if something was wriggling under the skin, pushing her belly up.
Ye Shaoyang beckoned, stepped aside first, waited for the two of them to come over, and discussed in a low voice.
"Is this Ye Qiuling?"
Ye Shaoyang asked.
Ye Xiaomeng tilted her head and thought for a while: "I haven't seen Ye Qiuling, but the characteristics match the characteristics described to me by my father, and the eight achievements are her." ” Pony said, "If it weren't for her belly still moving, I would have thought she was dead." ” Ye Shaoyang glanced at him and said, "Have you ever seen a person's belly twitch all the time when they breathe?"
There must be something in her stomach. ” Pony exclaimed, "What's that?"
” "I don't know.
But she may not be alive anymore. ” Ye Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, and said: "You can use a spell to test the corpse qi in the house, if she is really dead, the corpse qi in the house must not disperse......"
"It's useless."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shaoyang raised his hand, "I forgot to tell you that the entire Hidden Immortal Collection has been cast by someone, and conventional spells cannot be detected unless they are contact." ” "Why is this happening?"
Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed.
"I don't know."
Ye Shaoyang returned to the window and stared at Ye Qiuling lying on the bed, his two eyes unblinking.
Ye Xiaomeng and Xiaoma also came up again and watched.
After a while, Ye Shaoyang sighed and said in a breathy voice, "She is dead." ” Pony exclaimed, "How do you know?
” "If you pay attention, you will know that there is no rise and fall between her chest and abdomen, although her belly trembles, it is by no means breathing, a living person, it will definitely not be like this."
Ye Xiaomeng suggested whether to venture in through the door and check it, at this moment, the sound of Suo Suo 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 noodle pocket, and in the dark, its two eyes shot out two red lights, looking a little crazy.
Ye Shaoyang immediately beckoned the two to retreat.
