Card Room - 352. Mime private 503

【Chapter 503, the real murderer】

Since Aunt Qing left Qingfeng Town with Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang, and the range of the bug was only 500 meters, it was not possible to continue to track the three of Aunt Qing with the bug. The best way was to act separately. Although it is not safe to act separately, there are only two of them now, and they can’t leave a clue to ignore.

Ye Qi actively proposed: “I have a teleport card, and I run fast. I will follow Aunt Qing and the others. You stay in Qingfeng Town and continue to monitor Ren Yuan and the two children. Do you think it’s okay?”

Shao Qingge worried and said: “You act alone, what if you encounter danger?”

Ye Qi smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I have a lot of control cards in my hand, and there is also an Insect King card that you gave me. It really doesn’t work, I can turn into an Insect King. Insect Kings are not afraid of swords and spears, even if they are cut. Limbs can also regenerate.”

This unlucky remark made Shao Qingge frowned and immediately interrupted him in a deep voice: “Don’t talk nonsense. The Insect King is not invincible, and the fear of fire is its fatal weakness. If we separate, I can’t help in time if anything happens. you……”

Ye Qi raised his head and looked at Shao Qingge’s eyes, and said seriously: “However, if we let Aunt Qing’s clue go, we won’t get the correct answer and we won’t be able to leave this secret room. Rest assured, I can take care of myself.” After a pause, he said again: “I am more worried about you, Mr. Shao. The cards in your hand that are rich and willful and expensive are not as good as my music cards if you are really in trouble.”

Shao Qingge’s heart softened when he met the serious eyes of the teenager, and gently pressed his shoulders and said: “You are right, we have no reason to let go of a clue. Okay, let’s split up and keep in touch with each other. In any situation, your own safety is the top priority, you know?”

Ye Qi nodded cautiously: “So do you.”

The two looked at each other, Ye Qi said “Take care” to him with his lips, and disappeared in a hurry.

Aunt Qing’s horse was obviously not full and didn’t run fast. Ye Qi caught up with them within a moment.

Shao Qingge stayed where Ren Yuan lived and observed patiently. The two have always kept in touch with each other attentively, confirming each other’s safety on the one hand, and discussing countermeasures with each other.

I don’t know how long it took, and Ye Qi’s voice suddenly came into Shao Qingge’s mind: “Aunt Qing has already arrived in Yuezhou with two children, but the situation in Yuezhou is not much better than Qingfeng Town. Isn’t the famine dead? Few people, there are corpses along the road. Aunt Qing did not enter the city, and settled the two children in the ruined temple outside the city. There is no one living in this ruined temple.”

Shao Qingge wondered: “Broken temple?”

Ye Qi said, “There is a dry well in the ruined temple, and inside is the dry food she hid.”

Shao Qingge was clear: “So that’s it. Something happened to Ren Yuan. Qi Ran had a high fever, was unconscious, and started to develop erythema. Xiaoyun has been taking care of him all the time.”

“The high fever does not go away?” Ye Qi was startled, “Could it be that his severed finger wound was infected?”

“It’s possible. There are a lot of erythema on his face. It should be chickenpox, which is the same disease as Han Ningshuang.” Shao Qingge had chickenpox when he was a child. I remember that there were red spots all over his body and it was extremely itchy. His parents ordered him not to go out. He stayed at home for a week, and soon recovered from the illness.

According to doctors, people who have suffered from this disease will develop antibodies and gain lifelong immunity, and they will not regenerate the same disease in the future. At that time, when he was young, Shao Qingge didn’t care about it after he recovered. Now that he saw the erythema on Qi Ran’s body, he remembered this experience when he was young.

Ye Qi pondered for a moment, and said, “In other words, the mother-in-law told the group that the children had very contagious smallpox, which was a lie to them and wanted them to send the children away. In fact, these children just got chickenpox. ?”

Shao Qingge nodded: “Well, I had chickenpox when I was a child, and I knew about this disease. Smallpox and chickenpox will have spots on the skin, but the mortality rate is very different. In our era, smallpox has been eliminated, but in ancient times, smallpox It’s the most terrifying and violent infectious disease. It will be difficult to survive smallpox, right?”

Ye Qi thought to himself that if Professor Xiao was there, he would have a more professional explanation of these diseases. He and Shao Qingge are laymen and only know their fur. Shao Qingge’s analysis is also very reasonable. Ye Qi thought for a while and said, “Should something happen next? The death of her mother-in-law planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts, but the murderer 20 years later committed the crime. The technique involves the’sorcerer’s sorcery’, how did several children learn these sorcery?”

Shao Qingge said: “Yes, this is the key. We will continue to follow up.”

Nothing happened for the next whole day. At night, Qi Ran finally woke up. Zhou Xiaoyun fed him water. Qi Ran’s whole body was itchy and she couldn’t bear it. Ren Yuan immediately stopped him: ” Aran, don’t scratch, it will leave scars if you scratch it.”

Qi Ran’s face was pale, and he raised his head and asked, “Uncle Ren, can I survive?”

Ren Yuan touched his head lightly: “Definitely.”

Qi Ran stared at the sweet potatoes on the ground and muttered in a low voice: “My parents died of illness when I was five years old. They didn’t leave me any money or food. I was holding a broken bowl on the street. Begging everywhere… I remember that it was winter, and I was only wearing a tattered short coat, and my hands and feet were numb from the cold. It happened to be heavy snow that night. I think I should be frozen to death… …”

Zhou Xiaoyun choked and said, “Did your mother-in-law rescue you?”

The corner of Qi Ran’s mouth raised slightly, and said, “It’s mother-in-law and Ningshuang. When I woke up in a daze, I saw a little girl in a red dress put a cotton robe on me, and put a warm air in my hand. Tengteng steamed buns. I haven’t eaten anything for three days. I thought I was dreaming of a god, so I ate the steamed buns with two mouthfuls. The mother-in-law squatted down and looked at me and said, “Poor child, come back with me, I can’t let you. Eat fragrant and spicy, but at least you don’t have to starve or get cold.”

Ren Yuan sat aside and said nothing.

Zhou Xiaoyun started to cry, Qi Ran intermittently told her mother-in-law’s story.

The mother-in-law, whose surname is Sun, is a foreigner who came to Qingfeng Town to do business with her husband and brought a five-year-old son. Originally, the family lived peacefully and Meimei, but unexpectedly, a disease caused her child to die, and her husband accidentally fell off the cliff and died when she was out. She survived alone, relying on the craftsmanship of making toys, and adopted many orphans in the town.

Ren Yuan was her first adopted child, the same age as her child who died. She treated Ren Yuan as her own son and passed on the craftsmanship of rattle making to Ren Yuan; the second adopted child was Aunt Qing; and then Han Ningshuang, Qin Feng, Qi Ran and the youngest Zhou Xiaoyun.

For these children, the mother-in-law is their savior and their only relative in the world.

Qi Ran took out a rattle from his arms and choked with sobs: “This is a gift from my mother-in-law for my nine-year-old birthday. At that time, there was no famine. My mother-in-law told me that she would teach me how to make rattles. I didn’t expect… ”

Ren Yuanqing sighed and pressed his shoulders and said: “Aran, don’t be sad, mother-in-law in the sky doesn’t want you to be so sad. You are sick now, so take care of yourself first… mother-in-law, she must hope that you can be well To live.”

Qi Ran wiping away tears indiscriminately, nodded and said, “I will live. I was not frozen to death when I was five, and now I will not be starved to death.” The little boy’s eyes flashed with determination, gritted his teeth. Said: “When I grow up, I must find these people to take revenge!”

Zhou Xiaoyun said seriously: “Brother Ran, let’s avenge our mother-in-law together!”

The children don’t have to be serious. They are irritated by the death of their mother-in-law today, and their hearts are full of hatred. However, after adulthood, it is still uncertain who is the one who does it.

Ye Qi suddenly said in his mind: “Several children attach great importance to their mother-in-law. Could it be a joint crime?”

Shao Qingge thought about it carefully and thought that this possibility was very high. He said: “At present, Qi Ran, Zhou Xiaoyun, Qin Feng, and Han Ningshuang, one group is in Qingfeng Town, the other is in Yuezhou, can they be able to I don’t know if I meet again. I remember that Qin Feng returned to Qingfeng Town many years later and became the mayor. One more thing, he has been unmarried?”

Ye Qi said: “Yes! I also remember that Xiaoer at the shop said that Qin Feng’s home threshold was about to be crossed by the matchmaker, but all the matchmakers were turned down by him. He said that he already had a marriage contract and he had to wait for his sweetheart… Will it? Yes, the sweetheart he said is Han Ningshuang who grew up with him?”

Shao Qingge nodded and said, “I think so too. If the person he was waiting for was Han Ningshuang, it means that they were separated later, and Qin Feng has been waiting for her. Now that he is lost, Han Ningshuang may also learn that ecstasy. ?”

Ye Qi said with a headache: “We can’t follow them. We have been with them for more than ten years. Wait for them to grow up?”

Shao Qingge was silent for a moment and said: “We must find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be starved to death in this famine world. Because this time we did not collect any food in advance, we only have a supply card in hand.”

Milk, instant noodles, mineral water, chocolate, the only things in the material supply package are these, and they can only be used once in each secret room. How many days can two adults eat this little food?

Ye Qi smiled bitterly: “The famine world does not allow us to stay too long unless we grab other people’s food, but in that case, it will cut off other people’s lives. I drink milk every day and eat all the things in the material card. Chocolate, mineral water, and instant noodles can last for three days. Can we solve the case in three days? If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to eat leaves…”

Shao Qingge pressed his temple and said, “Do your best. I hope that there will be new clues within three days.”

For the whole day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi only drank a bottle of milk. At night, a strong sense of hunger struck, and the food in the town had already been raided. Shao Qingge didn’t want to grab Renyuan’s sweet potatoes, and affected the potential murderer, so he could only hold on.

Ye Qi was familiar with the road. He had already searched for some weeds around the ruined temple to satisfy his hunger.

The next day, Ren Yuan, Aunt Qing and the children did not act abnormally.

Shao Ye and the two ate the chocolate in the material supply package and drank half a bottle of mineral water.

The hunger is too strong to be ignored, the stomach is empty, the strongly peristaltic gastrointestinal tract seems to be clamoring for the owner to feed food, and the stomach is constantly gurgling. Shao Qingge is a rich second generation. He has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not been able to afford what he wants to eat. This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of “hunger”.

He finally understood how much the people suffered during the famine year. Under extreme hunger, human nature began to be distorted. The phenomenon of cannibalism sounded terrifying, but it was also a real chaos at the time.

He has only been hungry for two days and feels so uncomfortable. How hard should it be for the poor who don’t have food? I’m afraid I’m really going to eat soil and leaves.

Thinking of the corpses scattered on the side of the road, Shao Qingge was in a mixed mood.

On the third day, Shao Qingge ate the last package of instant noodles in the material supply package. There is no hot water to cook the noodles, so they can only be eaten dry.

However, nothing happened that day. Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun were taking care of Qi Ran, who was ill. On Ye Qi’s side, Aunt Qing was also trying to get food for the two children.

On the fourth day, the supplies in the material supply package had been eaten up, and we had to find a way to find food.

Shao Qingge walked around. There were really no leaves and weeds near Qingfeng Town. He was so hungry that he had almost no energy to walk. Ye Qi felt his thoughts through his heart, and suddenly he had an idea, and said, “It’s better to go to Taohuayuan.” There are peach blossom trees and a river where you can eat something to satisfy your hunger.”

Before Ye Qi left, Shao Qingge gave him a Tao Yuanming and kept one for himself.

Upon hearing this, both of them opened the Peach Blossom Spring and entered the independent Peach Blossom Spring space.

Drink river water and eat peach blossoms.

Xiaolou’s Peach Blossom Spring has always been used for team transmission. It was never expected that one day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi would go to Peach Blossom Spring to satisfy their hunger by eating peach blossom petals…

Ye Qi smiled bitterly: “If Professor Xiao knew that we would use his Peach Blossom Spring in this way, what would be the reaction?”

Shao Qingge said: “If you can survive, don’t care about these details. You know and I know about this, it’s our secret.”

Ye Qi nodded: “Well, I won’t tell people, we always ate a lot of peach blossoms.”

Shao Qingge; “…”

The two of them were far away, chatting attentively. Although Ye Qi was very hungry this time, with Shao Qingge accompanying him, it was much better than the nightmare room faced by the three of spades alone.

As I was thinking, I suddenly heard Shao Qingge’s voice in his mind: “There is movement.”

Ye Qi immediately cheered up: “What’s the matter?”

Shao Qingge said: “Qi Ran’s fever has subsided, and most of his illness has recovered. He took advantage of the late night Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun were asleep, and sneaked out alone, sat in the corner, and read a very strange book in the moonlight. ”

Ye Qi was stunned: “Book? Is it something related to sorcery?”

Shao Qingge said: “There are some strange spells drawn on it, I can’t understand it, but this book is definitely not simple.”

Ye Qi nodded: “This kid is not easy either.”
