Ma Tianbao took out the candles from the lantern, and lit the candles on the table and the bed, and finally the room was much brighter.

Xia Lin was lying on the bed in a corner of the room, looking unconscious.

Xia Lin walked over first, looked down at Xia Lin's face, and then reached out to touch his neck.

The intensity and frequency of the beating pulse were very normal, but his complexion was very bad, his forehead was slightly blue, Xia Lin raised his eyelids, and let go of his hand after just one glance.

"How's it going?" Xia Qing asked while watching Xia Lin's movements.

"There are blue lines on the white of the eyes." Xia Lin explained simply, her eyes fell on Xia Lin's collar, her eyes were fixed, "Just now I said that Xia Lin's situation is weird, what do you mean?" She didn't rush to act, but raised her head Looking at Ma Tianbao, who was at the end, asked.

Ma Tianbao's face turned pale, and he glanced at Xia Lin: "Mr. Xia has strange marks all over his body."

Xia Lin and Xia Qing looked at each other, and it was still Xia Lin who pulled up one of Xia Lin's sleeves, and saw strange blue lines all over his arms, such as circles, forks, triangles, etc., which looked very similar Mischievous doodles for kids.

But no ordinary kid would pull such a trick on a person.

"He has this all over his body?" This was the first time Xia Qing had a direct conversation with Ma Tianbao. Compared with Xia Lin, Xia Qing's voice was slightly higher, not as serious as Xia Lin, and seemed more wanton.

"Yes." Ma Tianbao nodded again and again, pouring out what he knew, "Mr. Xia was three days ago in the morning. We found him fainted in the room and couldn't wake up. We had no choice but to ask The doctor from the village came over and didn’t find these strange traces until the doctor came to see.” One of the reasons why Xia Lin was not sent to the hospital was the existence of these unexplainable traces.

"So Xia Lin has been in a coma for three days? Not eating or drinking?" Xia Lin quickly asked again.

Ma Tianbao's face changed again when Xia Lin asked, and he could no longer be described as pale.

He struggled for a long time, with a look of fear in his eyes. He watched Xia Lin tremble, and then he said: "Mr. Xia gets up every night and goes downstairs to eat." He used to get up, but Not waking up.

"Speak clearly." Xia Qing was a little impatient.

Ma Tianbao was taken aback, his eyes fell on Xia Qing's face, and then moved away unnaturally: "At first, the servant who was in charge of the night watch in our family discovered it. When he patrolled the kitchen at night, he found Mr. Xia eating in it. He was pleasantly surprised. I went to say hello to Mr. Xia, but I didn't expect Mr. Xia to be in front of several empty plates for leftovers, and Mr. Xia was eating a piece of raw bacon."

He trembled again, and took a deep breath: "Before that person had time to react, Mr. Xia grabbed his hand and bit him, and he tried his best to escape from the kitchen, a piece of flesh was really bitten off his arm. We got up after receiving his notice, and when we got to the kitchen, Mr. Xia had disappeared, and we searched again, and found him lying on the bed again, still unconscious."

There was the sound of the night wind outside the house, and the candles in the house were also shaken by the draft. The light on Xia Lin's face was dim, and looked a little weird.

"Then in the next two days, he will also get up to eat?" The expressions on Xia Lin and Xia Qing's faces couldn't tell what they were thinking at all, and it was Xia Lin who asked the question.

"Yes." Perhaps Ma Tianbao was relieved that the two did not show any fear, and he nodded immediately to explain, "Later, the eldest brother asked people to prepare a lot of meals and left them in the kitchen, and then asked people to carefully watch the food on the second floor. No movement, but don't disturb Mr. Xia. I found that Mr. Xia would get up at 11 o'clock every night to look for food. No matter how much we left, he would eat for nearly a quarter of an hour, and then immediately returned to the room on the second floor to lie down and sleep."

"I see." Xia Lin nodded, reached out to take off the bag she was carrying, and then took out something from it.

Holding the lantern, Ma Tianbao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw what Xia Lin was holding, and looked at Xia Lin in surprise.

Before Ma Tianbao could say anything, Xia Lin nodded towards Xia Qing, and the two sisters neatly tied Xia Lin to the bed with the rope Xia Lin took out, that was a fast speed.

But in the blink of an eye, the person was tied up. Xia Lin glanced at Xia Lin who was on the bed, lifted the backpack and said to Ma Tianbao, "Let's go to eat, before 11 o'clock, just to understand the situation here."

Chapter 105 The Girl in Red (Part [-])

In the restaurant, Xia Lin and Xia Qing meet Ma Tianbao's elder brother Ma Tianfang and sister-in-law Feng Shi.The two of them didn't seem to be in good spirits, but they still talked to Xia Linxiaqing with a strong smile.

After a meal, it was very fast and quiet. After a while, several people said that they had finished eating, and asked the servants to remove their things and replace them with warm tea.

After everyone was seated, Xia Lin glanced at the gloomy Ma Tianfang, and cut straight to the point: "I want to know exactly what Xia Lin investigated these two days, and where he went and what he came into contact with on the day he was in a coma."

To Xia Lin's words, Feng Shi was the one who reacted the most. She visibly trembled and immediately lowered her head, but it was still visible that she was suppressed and uncomfortable.

That's right, it's discomfort, not fear.

Ma Tianfang patted Feng's hand reassuringly, and looked up at Xia Lin: "Let me briefly explain the matter."

In the beginning, life in this closed and poor rural cluster was extremely simple and peaceful, and similar things were repeated day after day, year after year, and then passed down from generation to generation.

Because of the existence of the Ma family, almost all the surrounding villages work for the Ma family. Whether it is farming or going to the mountains to collect mountain products, a lot of medicinal materials are planted in a Yinshan depression not far away.

The Ma family immigrated here in the Qing Dynasty with a large amount of property.Because it was too remote here, the flames of war during that period did not burn them at all.It wasn't until the outside became peaceful that the branch of the Ma family who stayed outside the mountain managed to deliver the news to the mountain.

But before the Ma family agreed to leave the mountains and move out to a big city for a new life, they were stopped in the mountains by the booming wenge movement.Isn't their Ma family a "relic" landlord class from the feudal period?

After that, the Ma family did not go out in the end.

It's a bit similar to the Xia family, because of the Ma family's rules, the head of the Ma family will live forever in the deep mountains and old forests.Of course, they would also send some of their children outside the mountains to do business or exchange information.

At least, some of the crops and medicinal materials produced here are sold outside but at a high price.

"The matter started in the cassava village next door." After Ma Tianfang briefly introduced the relationship between the Ma family and the villagers, he talked about the reason why he came forward to invite people from the Xia family.

They didn't want to abandon this deep mountain and old forest, so when people died in the cassava village, the Ma family quickly responded accordingly.

The first one to die was a woman. It is said that she went out to wash vegetables in the evening, but she never came back.Her husband, Feng Da, went to look for her with his fellow villagers and neighbors, but they didn't find her until midnight. He died by the stream where he had obviously searched for her once, with his eyes wide open and a frightened expression on his face.

She didn't have any external injuries on her body. Although the stream was not deep, she still died of drowning, and a mourning hall was hastily set up at home.

"After that, four more people died one after another. Three were from the cassava village, and one was from another village. If you say you don't know each other, in fact, the people in these villages have a relationship with each other. But I'm not very familiar." Ma Tianfang thought for a while, "When Mr. Xia came, there were three people who died at that time. After he understood the situation, he focused on Feng Da."

"Oh?" Xia Lin looked at Ma Tianfang. If Xia Lin was the first to investigate because Mrs. Feng's wife had an accident, then it would not be so important.

"That's right." Ma Tianfang glanced at his wife before saying, "Before the accident, Feng Da's nephew, Feng Ming, committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Xia Qing was always listening to the questions and answers between her cousin and the Ma family, while looking at the expressions of these people.
