[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, we could not continue to rely on the bug to track Aunt Qing and the three of them. The best way was to split up. Although it is not safe to act separately, there are only two of them now, and they cannot leave a clue alone.

Ye Qi took the initiative and suggested: "I have a teleportation card and can 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 said worriedly: "You are traveling 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 you gave me. If it doesn't work, I can transform into the Insect King. The Insect King is not afraid of swords and guns, even if he is chopped down. Limbs can also regenerate.”

These unlucky words made Shao Qingge frown, and immediately interrupted him in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The Insect King is not invincible, and its fear of fire is its fatal weakness. If we are separated, I won't be able to help in time if anything happens. you……"

Ye Qi looked up into Shao Qingge's eyes and said seriously: "But, if we let Aunt Qing's clue go, we won't be able to get the correct answer and we won't be able to leave this secret room. Don't worry, I can take care of myself." He After a pause, he added: "I'm more worried about you, Mr. Shao. Those cards in your hand that are rich and willful and spend a lot of money are not as good as my music cards if you are really in trouble."

Meeting the young man's serious eyes, Shao Qingge's heart softened, and he gently pressed his shoulders and said: "You are right, there is no reason for us to let go of a clue in vain. Okay, let's act separately and keep in touch with each other. In any situation, always put your own safety first, you know?”

Ye Qi nodded cautiously: "You too."

The two looked at each other, Ye Qi said "take care" to him through lip language, and disappeared in a flash.

Aunt Qing's horse was obviously not full and was not running very fast. Ye Qi caught up with them within a moment.

Shao Qingge stayed where Ren Yuan lived and observed patiently. The two have been keeping in touch with each other. On the one hand, they confirm each other's safety, and on the other hand, they discuss countermeasures with each other.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ye Qi’s voice suddenly came to Shao Qingge’s mind: “Aunt Qing has brought her two children to Yuezhou, but the situation here in Yuezhou is not much better than that in Qingfeng Town. Famine is going to kill you. There were few people, and there were corpses along the road. Aunt Qing did not enter the city, but settled the two children in a ruined temple outside the city. No one lives in this ruined temple. "

Shao Qingge was confused: "Broken temple?"

Ye Qi said: "There is a dry well in the ruined temple, and in it is the dry food she hid."

Shao Qingge understood clearly: "That's it. Something happened to Ren Yuan. Qi Ran had a high fever, fell into coma, and red spots began to appear on his body. Xiaoyun has been taking care of him."

"The high fever won't go away?" Ye Qi was startled, "Could it be that the wound on his severed finger was infected?"

"It's possible. He also has a lot of red spots on his face. He should be infected with chickenpox, which is the same disease as Han Ningshuang." Shao Qingge had chickenpox when he was a child. He remembers that his whole body was covered with red spots and itchy. His parents ordered him not to go out. He suffered at home for a week and recovered quickly.

According to doctors, people who have had this disease will produce antibodies and gain lifelong immunity, so they will not get the same disease again in the future. He was still young at the time, so Shao Qingge didn't care about it after he recovered from the illness. Now that he saw the red spots on Qi Ran's body, he remembered this experience when he was young.

Ye Qi thought for a moment and said: "In other words, the mother-in-law lied to those people by telling them that the children had the highly contagious smallpox, and wanted them to send the children away. In fact, these children just had chickenpox. ?”

Shao Qingge nodded: "Well, I had chickenpox when I was a child, and I know about this disease. Both smallpox and chickenpox will cause spots on the skin, but the fatality rate is very different. Smallpox has been eliminated in our time, but in ancient times, smallpox It is the most terrible infectious disease. It will be difficult to survive if you get smallpox, right?"

Ye Qi thought that if Professor Xiao were here, there would be more professional explanations for these diseases. He and Shao Qingge are both laymen and only know the basics. Shao Qingge's analysis was also very reasonable. Ye Qi thought for a while and said, "Something else should happen next? The death of mother-in-law planted the seeds of hatred in their hearts, but the murderer who committed the crime twenty years later The technique involves 'enchantment magic', how did these children learn these magic tricks?"

Shao Qingge said: "Yes, this is the key, let's continue to follow up."

Nothing happened the next day. At night, Qi Ran finally woke up. Zhou Xiaoyun gave him water. Qi Ran's whole body was itching unbearably and he kept scratching with his hands. Ren Yuan immediately stopped him: " Ah Ran, don’t scratch it, it will leave scars if you scratch it.”

Qi Ran's face turned pale, he raised his head and asked, "Uncle Ren, can I survive?"

Ren Yuan gently touched his head: "It must be possible."

Qi Ran stared blankly at the sweet potatoes on the ground and murmured in a low voice: "My parents died of illness when I was five years old. They left me no money and no food. I carried 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 snow heavily that night, and I thought I would freeze to death... …”

Zhou Xiaoyun choked and said, "Did my mother-in-law save you?"

Qi Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "It's my mother-in-law and Ningshuang. When I woke up in a daze, I saw a little girl in red clothes put a cotton robe on me and put a hot air in my hand. Steamed buns. I have been there for three days

I haven't eaten anything. I thought I was dreaming about gods, so I ate up the steamed buns in two bites. My mother-in-law knelt down and looked at me and said, "Poor child, come back with me. I won't let you eat well, but at least you won't have to starve or freeze." "

Ren Yuan sat aside and said nothing.

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

The mother-in-law's surname is Sun. She is a foreigner. She came to Qingfeng Town to do business with her husband and brought a five-year-old son with her. The family originally lived a harmonious life, but unexpectedly, an illness caused her child to die young, and her husband accidentally fell off a cliff and died while out. She survived alone, making a living by making toys, and adopted many orphans in the town.

Ren Yuan was her first adopted child, who was as old as her child who died in infancy. She treated Ren Yuan as her biological son and passed on the skill of making rattles to Ren Yuan; the second adopted child was Aunt Qing; and then there was Ren Yuan. Han Ningshuang, Qin Feng, Qi Ran and the youngest Zhou Xiaoyun.

For these children, their 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 was a gift from my mother-in-law for my ninth birthday. There was no famine at that time. My mother-in-law told me that she would teach me how to make a rattle. I didn't expect... "

Ren Yuan sighed softly, held his shoulders and said: "Aran, don't be sad. My mother-in-law in heaven doesn't want you to be so sad. You are sick now, so you should take good care of yourself first... Mother-in-law, she must hope that you can be well." Live on."

Qi Ran wiped his tears carelessly, nodded and said: "I will survive. I didn't freeze to death when I was five years old, and now, I won't starve to death." A trace of determination flashed in the little boy's eyes, and he gritted his teeth. Said: "When I grow up, I will definitely seek revenge on these people!"

Zhou Xiaoyun said seriously: "Brother Ran, let's avenge my mother-in-law together!"

The words of the children do not have to be taken seriously. They were stimulated by the death of their mother-in-law today, and their hearts are full of hatred. But when they become adults, it is still unclear who will be the one to take action.

Ye Qi suddenly said in his mind: "Several children attach great importance to my mother-in-law. Could they join forces to commit a crime?"

Shao Qingge thought about it carefully and thought that this possibility was very high. He said: "Currently, Qi Ran, Zhou Xiaoyun, Qin Feng, and Han Ningshuang, one group is in Qingfeng Town, and the other group is in Yuezhou. Can they survive in troubled times?" It’s not certain that we will meet again. I remember that Qin Feng returned to Qingfeng Town many years later, and became the mayor as soon as he came. Another thing, he has never been married? "

Ye Qi said: "Yes! I also remember that the waiter in the shop said at that time that Qin Feng's doorstep was about to be broken down by matchmakers, but all the matchmakers were declined by him. He said that he already had a marriage contract and had to wait for his sweetheart... Will it happen? Yes, the sweetheart he mentioned is Han Ningshuang who grew up with him?"

Shao Qingge nodded and said: "I think so too. If the person he is waiting for is Han Ningshuang, it means that they were separated later, and Qin Feng has been waiting for her. Since they were separated, Han Ningshuang may also learn the evil magic of seduction. ?”

Ye Qi said with a headache: "We can't follow them for more than ten years and wait for them to grow up, right?"

Shao Qingge was silent for a moment and said: "We must find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, we will starve to death in this famine world. Because this time we did not collect any food in advance and only had a supply card in our hands."

Milk, instant noodles, mineral water, chocolate, these are the only things in the supply bag, and each secret room world can only be used once. How many days can two adults last with such a small amount of food?

Ye Qi smiled bitterly and said: "In a famine world, we are indeed not allowed to stay for too long, unless we grab other people's food, but in that case we will cut off other people's livelihood. I drink milk and eat these things in the supply card every day. Chocolate, mineral water, and instant noodles a day can last three days. Can we solve the case in three days? If not, we will have to eat leaves..."

Shao Qingge pressed his temple and said, "Try your best. I hope new clues will appear within three days."

For the next whole day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi only drank one bottle of milk. At night, a strong sense of hunger hit. The food in the town had already been plundered. Shao Qingge didn't want to snatch Ren Yuan's sweet potatoes and affect the potential murderer, so he could only hold on.

Ye Qi was familiar with the situation and had already gone to the ruined temple to collect some weeds to satisfy his hunger.

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

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

The feeling of hunger is so strong that people cannot ignore it. The stomach is empty. The strongly peristaltic gastrointestinal tract seems to be clamoring for the owner to feed food, and the stomach keeps making gurgling sounds. Shao Qingge is a second-generation rich man. He has been pampered since he was a child and can eat whatever he wants. This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of "hungry".

He finally understood how much the people suffered during the famine. Under extreme hunger, human nature began to distort. The phenomenon of cannibalism sounds terrible, but it was also a real chaos at that time.

He has only been hungry for two days and feels so uncomfortable. How difficult must it be for the poor who have no food to collect? I'm afraid I really have to eat soil and leaves.

Thinking of the corpses scattered on the roadside, Shao Qingge felt complicated.

On the third day, Shao Qingge finished the last pack of instant noodles in the supply pack. There is no hot water to cook noodles, so you can only eat them dry.

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

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

Shao Qingge walked around,

There were really no leaves or weeds near Qingfeng Town. He was so hungry that he had almost no strength to walk. Ye Qi felt his thoughts through telepathy, and suddenly had an idea, saying: "Why don't we go to the Peach Blossom Spring? There are peach blossom trees there and a river." River, you can eat something to satisfy your hunger.”

Shao Qingge gave Ye Qi a piece of Tao Yuanming before he left, and kept one for himself.

After hearing this, both of them opened the Peach Blossom Garden and entered an independent Peach Blossom Garden space.

Drink river water and eat peach blossoms.

Xiao Lou's Peach Blossom Spring has always been used for team teleportation. They never thought that one day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi would actually go to the Peach Blossom Spring to eat peach blossom petals to satisfy their hunger...

Ye Qi smiled bitterly and said: "If Professor Xiao knew that we were using his Peach Blossom Spring like this, how would he react?"

Shao Qingge said: "If you can survive, don't worry about these details. You know this and I know it. It is our secret."

Ye Qi nodded: "Well, I won't tell anyone that our boss Shao has eaten a lot of peach blossoms."

Shao Qingge; "..."

The two of them chatted thoughtfully from a distance apart. Although Ye Qi was also very hungry this time, having Shao Qingge with him was much better than the nightmare chamber that Spades 3 faced alone.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Shao Qingge's voice in his mind: "There is movement."

Ye Qi immediately cheered up: "What's wrong?"

Shao Qingge said: "Qi Ran's fever has gone away and he has mostly recovered from his illness. He took advantage of the late night when Ren Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyun were asleep, sneaked out alone, sat in the corner, and read a very strange book under the moonlight. "

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

Shao Qingge said: "There are some strange spells drawn on it, and I can't understand them, but this book is definitely not simple."

Ye Qi nodded: "This child is not simple either."
