ID number 019

Chen Yang stayed where he was, and not long after, a familiar figure passed by outside the door. His distracted gaze froze, and he rushed out the next moment, grabbing the person's crutches.

Sensing other gazes, Chen Yang looked towards a corner of the room behind the young man. The little girls who were hiding behind him all the way were dumbfounded, and he was also stunned, looking at each other in blank dismay.

The boy turned his head and frowned.

The little girls covered their mouths and exclaimed, and ran away shyly.

Chen Yang was still in a daze, the crutch in his hand was swung, and it fell from his fingers. He was shocked, and his voice came out of his hoarse voice: "Aunt Liu's youngest son ate chemical fertilizer."

"Most of the bag was stolen from his house, and he probably ate it all. The taste is very offensive, and the amount is definitely quite a lot, as if it is still stored in his stomach." Chen Yang spoke quickly, "It stands to reason that he would have died long ago. But he can walk, move and talk."

Chen Yang finished the information he found in one breath, and the only audience was expressionless the whole time.

Chen Yang: "..."

Suddenly a clear voice came from the courtyard: "Uncle."

Chen Yang's back stiffened, he turned his neck and turned his head, trying to show natural gentleness: "Hey."

The boy looked at the person next to him with big eyes, and stepped back timidly.

This reaction made Chen Yang feel popular, and being stared at by the dark eyes beside him, not to mention children, even adults couldn't calm down.

And there are shadows on the ground, which are living people.

The panic in Chen Yang's heart weakened a bit, and he was about to say something when the boy went back into the room with a "swoosh", and the door slammed shut.The mouse was like a cat when it saw it, and it ran fast.

The yard was silent.

The young man sat on the tree stump where Chen Yang had sat before. The end where the two crutches touched the ground was very dirty, with a lot of dirt and grass clippings.

Chen Yang squatted beside him: "Where did you come back from?"

Boy: "On the mountain."

Chen Yang was stunned: "What are you doing running up the mountain?"

The boy didn't answer, he scanned the small courtyard, only the smell of fish came from the leather pants hanging in the corner.

Chen Yang told the young man the whole story, removed the self-defense wires and big nails he got, and kept nothing else, and then waited for the other party's reaction.

"Wait tonight." The boy said.

It's not even noon yet, can the day be peaceful?Chen Yang wiped his face, no matter what kind of chemical fertilizer it was, it was not a snack, who would eat it for nothing, even if he was curious about what it tasted like, he would only lick it at most.

8 years old is not the age to eat indiscriminately. Besides, even if it is eaten by mistake, there will be symptoms of poisoning, but the child is fine at all, as if the body has automatically absorbed chemical fertilizers.

A word popped into Chen Yang's mind, container.Immediately afterwards, he remembered Lin Yue's phrase "a ghost is looking for a substitute", and he trembled, hoping that this task would not have anything to do with ghosts.

The rehabilitation center was so dark that he had never seen a ghost.This world exists, but I don't know what it is like.

Chen Yang is very afraid of ghosts. He has been afraid since he was a child, the kind of fear of whoever tells him ghost stories, who he breaks up with.

At noon, everyone was going to meet at Li Dafu's house. Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing were missing from the group of seven. After everyone finished their lunch hastily, they still hadn't come back.

Chen Yang looked at the sunny outside, thinking about the two people whose life and death were unknown, the chubby boy who ate chemical fertilizer, he felt very bad.

Subconsciously, Chen Yang moved his legs, tilted the toe of his shoes towards the boy, and made a gesture of trust that he would fly over at any time, although he still didn't know the name of the boy.

Chen Yang waited for a long time without waiting for everyone to speak, so he spoke first: "It seems that something happened to them."

Zhang Yan's face was full of pain: "Yes."

Zhao Yuanhong yelled, "Then what are we waiting for, go find them!"

Lin Yue said coldly: "I haven't seen death, I haven't been betrayed, I haven't shed blood, I am so innocent, what do you think this is?"

Zhao Yuan's face turned red and green, "So don't care about them?"

"Can you handle it?" Lin Yue asked back.

Zhao Yuan is like a leaking ball, he can't control it, he doesn't know if he will be the next one.

The walls of the house were covered with mottled light, which was bright and warm, but what permeated the remaining five people was darkness.Zhang Yan was the first to exchange information. He said that he found some large tanks in the woods to the east, filled with water and nothing else.

Chen Yang thought for a moment: "Maybe it's rain."

"Rainwater?" Zhao Yuan looked puzzled, "Then why put it in a tank?"

"It can be used to water vegetables." Chen Yang said, "The way of life on the island is very backward, and they are very frugal and simple, so it's not surprising to do so."

None of Zhang Yan and the others made a sound, as if they didn't quite agree with this statement.Chen Yang didn't continue either, he planned to check it out in the afternoon.

Zhao Yuan said that he went to the sea to check, and the creatures on the bottom of the sea were fine, and the mutations caused by radiation were ruled out. He also played games with the children on the beach for a while, but found nothing, everything was normal.

There was a lot of mud on Lin Yue's three- to four-centimeter leather shoes, as well as leaves from the vegetables she ordered. She only said that she hadn't gotten anything, and she would slap her face if she asked any more questions.

Now only Chen Yang remained silent, Zhang Yan and the others automatically ignored the boy.

Chen Yang licked his dry lips: "I found something."

The atmosphere changed.

Under everyone's stare, Chen Yang said: "The fertilizer from Aunt Liu's house next door was stolen, and her youngest son didn't go to school or go out recently. I thought it was weird, so I tried to get him out of the house, but I found him talking There was a smell of chemical fertilizer in my mouth, which was very heavy and pungent.”

Zhang Yan sullenly said, "So the fertilizer wasn't stolen, but eaten?"

Chen Yang nodded.

There was a dead silence all around.Zhao Yuan murmured: "I was surprised when I heard the first part of the sentence. When I went into the sea, I took off my watch and put it on the beach. No one stole it. How can chemical fertilizer be better than a watch..." He stood up in vain, his eyes widened in shock. It was very big, "Eat it? Damn, eat it?! Is that something people can eat?"

Chen Yang seemed to smell that smell again, and rolled his throat uncomfortably: "Aunt Liu's youngest son looks like a normal person."

"Chemical fertilizers are not for people to eat. This is common sense. If you eat them, you will vomit and feel dizzy. If you eat too much, it will endanger your life." Zhang Yan said, "The task is indeed related to chemical fertilizers. Our direction is right."

Lin Yue pursed her red lips, and speculated: "There is only one reason why people eat chemical fertilizers, mutation."

"It's not a mutation, a fish is still a fish, it's definitely not a mutation," Zhao Yuan insisted, a little frightened, "absolutely not, it's not a mutation."

"What is that if it's not a mutation? Why do you need to eat chemical fertilizers? You're going to die, then Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing..." Zhao Yuan stopped talking incoherently to himself, slumped on the chair with a dead face, and couldn't say anything. Make a sound.

Lin Yue went out.

Zhang Yan also left Li Dafu's house. The mission bureau was finally opened. He was relieved and panicked. Tomorrow is the last day. There must be many dangers before leaving. We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible. I hope he can continue his good luck this time. .

Chen Yang felt that the smell of chemical fertilizer was lingering all the time, as if he had it in his own mouth. He wanted to vomit, but just as he was about to take out the bottle of drink in his bag to take a sip, his stomach rolled and he vomited with a "wow". out.

Zhao Yuan, who was spread out on the chair, bounced up and jumped to the door, pointing at Chen Yang tremblingly: "You, you..."

Chen Yang wiped his mouth: "I just have a bad stomach."

Zhao Yuan "He He" gasped, he turned his head away and didn't dare to look at Chen Yang, and said in a hurry: "Then you rest, I, I will also look for clues!" Before the words fell, he ran out, as if he was about to be eaten by a ghost if he was too late Yes, almost fell on the threshold.

"Scared like that, I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe it." Chen Yang rubbed his stomach and vomited a few more times, his eyes were filled with rational tears, his eyes were very red, he choked his throat and asked if he hadn't left yet The boy said, "I'm not really mutated, am I?"

The boy ignored him.

Chen Yang cleaned up his vomit, went to the yard to rinse his mouth and came back: "I only spoke to that child."

"No," Chen Yang shook uncontrollably, "I even touched his head."

The young man seemed to find him annoying, so he picked up his crutches and went to the utility room of Li Dafu's house, and put the particles in his hand on the table.

Chen Yang saw that it was chemical fertilizer, and the muscles on his face trembled violently.

The boy looked at him: "Want to eat?"

Chen Yang hurriedly shook his head like a wave drum, and he didn't have the desire to pounce on it at all, so that means he's fine?

Knowing the young man's intentions later, Chen Yang felt a little grateful in his heart: "You live in Sanlianqiao, too. I'll treat you to dinner when you go out."

The young man was pulling the chemical fertilizer, his lips were pale, and the profile of his face was so cold that he rarely saw the sun: "Want to go out?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily came up with a weird guess, and blurted out: "You don't want to?"

The young man said nothing, he twisted a fertilizer granule into his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and tasted it carefully.

Chen Yang: "..." Maybe she is really sick.

When it was dark, Chen Yang and the others still didn't see Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing, no one was alive, no dead body was seen, and there was no change on the island. The islanders didn't seem to be pretending, as if they really didn't know that there were two tourists Something went wrong.

Aunt Liu's family is also fine.

Regarding Chen Yang's vomiting at noon, Zhang Yan and Lin Yue didn't bother to ask, it seems that Zhao Yuan didn't tell them so far.

Chen Yang didn't know Zhao Yuan's plan, but he no longer approached him, and kept away when he spoke.

The time on Lin Yue's mobile phone was just after seven o'clock, when the respected Granny Qi called for a meeting. All the islanders went to the back mountain to gather, and Zhang Yan followed.

Adults, regardless of gender, went to the meeting, and those who stayed at home were either elderly people with limited mobility or children who were babbling.

Lin Yue and Zhao Yuan split up and took the opportunity to search from house to house.

Chen Yang has important responsibilities, Aunt Liu has also gone to a meeting, and the youngest son is at home alone. I don't know if there will be any changes tonight.He's going to see the kid.

Chen Yang was very scared, but fortunately someone was with him.

"Are you going now?" Chen Yang stood under the eaves, "I don't know how long this meeting will last. If Aunt Liu comes back halfway, I might not have time to inform Zhang Yan who was in the past. We should be more worried."

The boy took out a stone from his jacket pocket, threw it with his arm, and slammed it on the window of Mrs. Li. The crisp sound was amplified in the silent night, and it sounded clear and loud.

Chen Yang stared at the wooden window in shock, Mrs. Li was quiet in the room, she was in a deep sleep.

"What are you still doing?" The crutch in the boy's hand hit him on the leg.

Chen Yang's legs didn't hurt, and his spirit received a lot of shock. He walked in front with his back bent, and entered Aunt Liu's house all the way calmly.

After a while, Chen Yang's face darkened a little. The young man was walking on crutches, making a loud rattling noise. What's the use of being careful.

"You stay here, I'll..." Before Chen Yang finished speaking, another stone flew past his eyes and hit the window of Aunt Liu's youngest son's stone house accurately.

"..."

After that sound, Aunt Liu's courtyard was quiet, and there was no expected response, and the child was not in the house.

Chen Yang's breathing tightened, he moved closer to the young man beside him, and said in a breathy voice, "Where did you go?"

The boy's tall body was lying on the crutches, his head was lowered in thought.

Chen Yang seemed to be facing an enemy, his eyes kept moving: "He should have eaten all the fertilizer at home, will he go to someone else's house?"

The boy suddenly said: "Go back."

Chen Yang didn't ask anything, turned his limp legs, turned around and went back to Li Dafu's house.

During the day, Chen Yang searched all over Li Dafu's house, knowing where his family's chemical fertilizers were kept, he quickly went straight to the destination.

On the west side of the small courtyard, the door of the utility room diagonally facing the kitchen is open, and you can see several empty bags, sunken on the ground, only the innermost bag is bulging.

Chen Yangchu dared not go in at the door.

The boy stepped over the broken wooden threshold and walked in. Chen Yang was afraid that there was something behind him, so he followed him in a panic.

Li Dafu turned off the kerosene lamp when he went out, and the room was darker than outside.

The moonlight streamed in from the door, Chen Yang walked close to the boy to the innermost bag, watched him lift a crutch, and opened the mouth of the bag.

Aunt Liu's youngest son is inside!like a statue!

Chen Yang gasped, something rushed into his throat, he swallowed desperately so as not to spit it out, he stared at the boy, his whole body was cold, and ran out without thinking.

A hand clamped his arm, and then he heard a choking sound.

"Pour him out," said the boy.

Chen Yang struggled and shook his head.When a person dies, the ghost must be here, and his psychological endurance will collapse.

The young man stood on one foot, his body's balance was basically supported by crutches, and his strength was still so strong that Chen Yang couldn't break free. His tall figure was hidden in the darkness, only one eye and the small half of his face were slightly blurred, and there was no trace of it. The beauty makes the scalp tingle.

"Hurry up." The young man pushed Chen Yang, his voice low and cold, "Pour it out, I want to see the corpse."

Hu-hu-hu-

Cold sweat dripped from Chen Yang's forehead. He was forced by the young man to have a pale face. He staggered to the other side of the bag, closed his eyes and bent his back, trembling, grabbed the sides of the bag, and shook violently indiscriminately.

"bang"

The body was poured out.

The body still maintains the form of being arched in the bag.
