no soul

Chapter 063

Lin Hong was taken aback. Could it be that the snow mountain girl's feet were upside down?He couldn't remember, he didn't pay special attention to her feet, "Maybe she stepped on them while avoiding the villagers?"

"I don't know yet." Wan Guchuan stood up and looked at him, "What did you ask?"

Lin Hong thought for a while, but he didn't know why he asked, "No one died in this village, and nothing strange happened, but there was a stealing incident. The atmosphere in that family's house was not very good at that time, and I also Didn't ask in detail."

Wan Guchuan frowned when he heard "the atmosphere is not very good", and looked at him, "Isn't it hospitable?"

"No, on the contrary, they are very hospitable." Lin Hong breathed out steam as he spoke, and the white mist dissipated in the wind, "The relationship between husband and wife is not very good."

Are you hospitable... Wan Guchuan was thinking about it, and Lin Hong just thought of getting together——

Why did the villagers react so strongly to the woman from the snow mountain?

What clue is missing.

"This village is full of doubts, it's better to act together next time." Wan Guchuan said.What if "the atmosphere is not good" hurts people.

"Okay." Lin Hong took a deep breath on his hands.

Wan Guchuan looked at him and smiled, "Is it cold? Your face is red from the cold, let's go back."

Lin Hong's heart twitched when he saw him laughing, and he looked away instantly, "Mmmmmm."

What's the matter, shouldn't the more you look at this handsome face, the more you get used to it?Why is the reaction getting bigger and bigger...

Wan Guchuan walked a few steps and looked back at him when he saw that the person hadn't followed.

"Here we come." Lin Hong stretched out his hand and pulled up the collar, hiding the lower half of his face inside, revealing a pair of black and white handsome eyes and glanced at him.

Back at Grandma Shi's house, Lin Hong took a special look at the woman's feet - it was normal, not the other way around, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan.

Wan Guchuan shook his head.I don't know.

That's weird.

Granny Shi let them live in the same room as her son, and let the woman live in the same room as herself.

The fire tongs picked up the burning firewood in the living room and put it under the stone kang in the house. Some new firewood was added, and the stone bed was covered with thick cotton wool, which was soft and warm.

The living room without fire was swallowed into darkness.

Lin Hong wanted to go to the latrine in the middle of the night, but he didn't want to leave the bed. After struggling a few times, he still gave in.

Coming out of the quilt, the cold suddenly rushed up like a flood. He hurriedly put on thick clothes, and stretched out his hand to cover the quilt back, so as to keep the heat so that it would be warm inside when he came back.

Granny Shi forgot to prepare candles for them, and he was afraid of waking Wan Guchuan, so he went out in the dark.

Lin Hong thought, fortunately the hut is also connected to the house, otherwise he would freeze to death.

Lifting the thick cloth in front of the door, the living room is silent in the darkness, the snow on the ground outside the window reflects the pale moonlight, shining like a light, making the night in the room darker and lighter, There are shadows everywhere.

It's kind of scary without the light...

Lin Hong walked slowly in the dark, afraid of bumping into something.

In order to prevent the smell from coming out, the door of the latrine is not a simple piece of thick cloth but a very thick wooden door.

After Lin Hong finished solving the problem, he was about to open the door, but stopped after putting his hands on it.

The night is too thick and quiet, which makes people's imagination boundless. He always feels that when he opens the door, there will be a person standing in the darkness behind the door.

But he can't stay in the toilet all night.

The door creaked open.

Fortunately, the imagination did not become a reality.

It was still the living room that was sleeping deep and shallow in the night, it was quiet.

Lin Hong breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back bit by bit.

The night is thick, making the living room huge, empty and quiet.

Lin Hong walked a few steps, but out of the corner of his eye, he always caught a glimpse of a black figure beside him.

He turned to look over.

In the darkness he saw an upside-down face.

"Wow!" Lin Hong was taken aback, took a step back, bumped into the stool, and made a "squeak—" sound, which echoed in the emptiness.

A woman was hanging upside down from the beams, her black hair cascading down to the floor.

In the dim light, the woman's face was deformed due to hanging upside down, her eyeballs fell on the side of her lower eyelids, she stared at him from bottom to top, and when she saw him look over, she grinned at him.

"Lin Hong!" The thick cloth was "scrubbed" off, and Wan Guchuan was standing in front of the door, wearing only his jacket, when he heard the movement just now.

Lin Hong was so frightened by the woman's sudden appearance that his heart pounded, his breathing was unsteady, he glanced at Wan Guchuan, and then looked back, the woman hanging upside down in front of him was gone.

Wan Guchuan walked up to him in three or two steps with long legs, stretched out his hand to hold his upper arm and pulled him over, looking at him, "Are you all right?"

"No...it's okay." The temperature on his arm made Lin Hong calm down a lot.

"What happened?" Wan Guchuan asked him.

"I saw—"

Before he finished speaking, a handful of halos illuminated the entire living room.

Lin Hong looked over, and saw that the woman from the snow-capped mountains was wearing clothes and holding a candle, standing outside the door of her and Granny Shi's house.

Watching them silently.

Lin Hong was startled, this face... the woman who was hanging upside down just now...

Isn't it her? !

Lin Hong's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his slightly calm heart began to beat wildly in his chest again.

Was that her just now?She's back in the house again?Or... there are two of her?Why hang upside down?

"What did you see?" Wan Guchuan stared at him.

"I..." Lin Hong didn't dare to speak.

Wan Guchuan lowered his eyes, watching his panicked expression.

He put his hand on the back of his neck and pressed him into his arms.

"Don't be afraid."

The breath brushed the hair on the sideburns.

Lin Hong's breathing stopped suddenly, and his heart was not only galloping, but almost galloping.

Her face was buried on his shoulders, and the temperature came through the single clothes, with a breath as windy as the mountain wind blowing the forest like him.

Lin Hong felt that this person's heartbeat was faster than his own.

Granny Shi stood behind the woman.

She didn't hear anything at first, but when she saw the woman going out, she followed her out.

She looked at the two of them, "Don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing together?"

Lin Hong felt inexplicably hot when he heard this, and pushed Wan Guchuan away, "Come here."

Lin Hong knew that Grandma Shi couldn't hear, so he smiled at her, and pushed Wan Guchuan into the room, "Just wear a coat, be careful not to catch a cold, go back quickly."

Lin Hong put down the thick cloth in front of the house, and saw from the gap below that the candlelight in the living room dimmed—Grandma Shi and the woman also went back to the house.

Lin Hong got into the bed that he was thinking about, and the temperature had not yet lost. In contrast, he realized that his feet were cold.

Wan Guchuan also lay beside him.

Moonlight streams in the gloom.

Lin Hong looked at the beams of the room, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't distinguish the myriad of clues.

"What happened just now?" A deep voice sounded from the side.

Some people say that when the eyes cannot see, the hearing will be extremely sensitive.Lin Hong immediately felt that this was true.

This voice is more deep and sweet than usual, it wants to pull down all the vain moonlight, and press it tightly in the low place, but my heart is a little fluttering.

Lin Hong looked sideways.

The moonlight and darkness draw a clear and clear outline.

"I saw that woman from the snow mountain hanging upside down from the beam and following me." Lin Hong whispered.

Wan Guchuan didn't respond after hearing this, he was thinking.

Upside down footprints...

Falling woman...

Are these implying something?

"The problem probably lies with this woman." After being frightened, Lin Hong relaxed, a little sleepy, and stretched out his hand from under the quilt to rub his eyes.

His wrist suddenly warmed—Wan Guchuan reached out and held his wrist.

Lin Hong was startled, tilted his head to look over, and tried hard to see his face and expression clearly in the night, "What's wrong?"

Wan Guchuan was silent for a while, whether intentionally or not, the tip of the index finger of that hand gently slid to Lin Hong's palm, and said in a low voice, "Next time... let's go together wherever we go."

A burst of numbness came from the palm of his hand, the skin under the belly of the index finger, and his ears were also itching. Lin Hong's heart, which had finally calmed down, twitched wildly again, "Together... I know... I know."

Gently swipe the tip of his index finger, "Yeah." Wan Guchuan withdrew his hand, "Go to sleep." He turned over and turned his back to Lin Hong.

The moonlight and the quiet night are lingering, and there is no sound around.

Lin Hong put his hand under the quilt, clenched his fist in one hand, and his nails kept grabbing the numb palm.

What's going on... I can't see his face clearly in the night, but I still...

Lin Hong felt a little apprehensive looking at the woman, and chose a seat far away from her during breakfast.

The woman eats slowly, not because she is elegant because of the cultivation of a lady, but because she is too sad, not in a good mood, her eyes are empty, and she just wants to eat without starving to death.

She is still silent, like a mass of thick ink that cannot be melted away, like the night sky on a snowy field, ancient and mysterious.

It snowed heavily last night, and every household came out early this morning to clear the snow in front of their doors.

In the past, the snow in front of Grandma Shi's door was cleared by young men from the village. Now that Wan Guchuan and Lin Hong are staying in her house, this job will naturally fall on their shoulders.

They cleared the snow, and Grandma Shi led the girl to the market in the city below the mountain to buy things.

Lin Hong plunged the shovel into the snow, only the tip of the shovel went in, and no matter how much he pressed the wooden handle with his hands, he couldn't get in. It was very laborious.

"Step here." Wan Guchuan signaled him to step on the side edge of the shovel close to the wooden handle.

According to Lin Hong's words, the shovel really sank a lot.Probably this is someone who has been spoiled and raised since childhood and has never touched these things...

Wan Guchuan glanced at his frozen red hands, "You should go back to your room and sit."

"I dislike me so much." Lin Hong misunderstood his meaning, shoveled the snow off the shovel aside, and took a breath of hot air on his hands, "It's the first time I do it, isn't I also learning?"

He continued to shovel hard and awkwardly, very earnestly.

Wan Guchuan laughed.

"Pan Ruyi is really immoral." Two people walked past the door, "Stealing a man and stealing a man, and now that the matter is revealed, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, saying that Wang Chuansheng defiled her."

"Huh? There is such a thing in the world?" The other person obviously didn't know, "Does anyone believe her?"

They were discussing the same thing that the dishwashing woman mentioned yesterday.

Lin Hong raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them. He had never seen them before, and then lowered his head to shovel the snow, but his ears were still listening.

"How do you trust her?" The man replied, "Her keepsake is with Wang Chuansheng, a very delicate hairpin."

"What if Wang Chuansheng stole it?" Another questioned.

The man said: "Pan Ruyi said that she gave this hairpin to Yao Xuezhi. But Yao Xuezhi denied it."

"Why did she involve Yao Xuezhi?" The other person was puzzled, "You don't think the village chief's daughter will support her in this matter, do you?"

The man thought for a while and said, "The two of them really had a good relationship before."

"I don't help her if I have a good friendship, hey, it seems to be true, this woman's reputation is ruined——"

The two walked away, and their voices could not be heard clearly.

Based on what the dishwashing woman said yesterday, Lin Hong settled the matter.

Probably the wife of the man surnamed Li, Pan Ruyi, was found to have an affair with a man named Wang Chuansheng. Pan Ruyi said that Wang Chuansheng had defiled her, and Wang Chuansheng took out her token to prove it.

Pan Ruyi said that she gave the hairpin Wang Chuansheng took as a token to Yao Xuezhi, the village head's daughter, but Yao Xuezhi denied it.

Now, probably everyone believes that she and Wang Chuansheng had an affair.

Lin Hong rested his hands on the top of the wooden handle of the shovel, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at Wan Guchuan, "What do you think?"

Wan Guchuan stopped what he was doing, "A few doubts:

One, how did this come to light?Who is the first insider?

Second, if it was a lie, the woman didn't say that Wang Chuansheng stole the token, but took the risk to say that she gave it to someone who might not help her. Why?

Third, if what the woman said was true, how did Yao Xuezhi get to Wang Chuansheng's hands? "

Lin Hong added, "Fourth, if you have a good relationship, why don't you help her deny it on the spot?"

If Yao Xuezhi said that there was indeed such a thing, then there was still room for maneuver.

Lin Hong thought for a while, "I feel that this world has something to do with the woman from the snow mountain. But what role does this matter play?"

Wan Guchuan said: "Take your time."

The copper shovel sank into the snow, and the finely broken ice "clicked" softly.
