Wu Min

The normal work and rest of Yuwen Village is to go to bed early and get up early, but there are too many people in and out of the village, and the villagers are gradually delaying the time to go to bed, chatting with these tourists without saying a word.Dozens of people wrapped in thick coats were sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, Prof. Xing quickly became the center of the crowd with his profound knowledge and eloquence. Both villagers and other tourists asked him questions respectfully. And those Xing Jianhua's students held small notebooks resentfully, recorded everything that people said, and screened them strictly to see if there were any important clues.

The next few days were relatively easy for Wu Min and others. They ran around with Xing Jianhua every day, sometimes went to the highlands to collect wind, and sometimes sneaked to visit the cornfields.Wu Min has never seen the crop circles in other areas, but he heard that the geometric shapes of the wheat fields are due to the flattening of the wheat fields. Yuwen Village can present such a concave and convex picture. I don’t know how many corns have been poured. Turning around in a circle, everyone was even more shocked-not a single corn fell!

"Is this also the case in previous years? All the corn stands up straight?" Professor Xing grabbed Han Wu's hand, wishing he could shake him to pieces.Han Wu grinned away at him, rubbed his pinched wrist and told them that the corn in the village was all vertically upward, no matter how heavy the wind and rain was, no one fell to the ground, and it was easy to harvest.

When Xing Jianhua heard the words, he rode his bicycle and ran towards the east highland without saying a word. Wu Min and the others hurriedly followed him, fearing that something might happen to him.It was getting dark, and there were not many people on the high ground. Seeing them rushing over in a mighty manner, after greeting them warmly, they went back to the village to eat and rest.Xing Jianhua waved absently at the group of people, and sat on the edge of the high ground staring at the huge scroll below in a daze.Yansan's brother smiled wryly and shrugged at the others. Professor Xing is like this. When he encounters something he can't understand, he can study it without sleep. It seems that they don't know when they will be able to go back tonight.

As the sun went down, the wind at the altitude was getting stronger and stronger. Wu Min was still stamping his feet in the cold even though he was wrapped tightly in his clothes. He didn't feel so cold when he sat at the entrance of the village. He heard from the village chief that the temperature was going to drop recently and the temperature was very high. After diving, it was the season of harvesting corn, and then there was no such a magnificent picture for half a year.But as long as the corn seeds are planted and seedlings more than half a meter high grow out, the graphics can be vaguely seen again, which is very magical.

"Do you think this pattern is caused by the different heights of the corn stalks?" Xing Jianhua tugged at his hair and thought about it for nearly three hours before suddenly saying, "Everyone look at me and I look at you. And it should be vetoed, the corn itself is not all the same height, even if the measured height is different, it does not mean anything.

The students were chattering around Xing Jianhua, while Shen Xiu stood beside him silently, letting the night wind blow the hem of his clothes.Looking at the picture scroll at night, it feels completely different from the daytime. Without the bright sunlight, the entire cornfield is covered with a layer of faint water mist, just like the clouds surrounding the fairies and gods in the picture scroll, but it also hides the turbulent wind. crisis.

The very faint resentment rose up with the water vapor and surged back and forth in mid-air, like a nimble snake waiting for its prey that was about to step into its trap.Although he didn't see a clear danger, his intuition from wandering in dangerous situations many times told him that there was a deadly crisis hidden here.

Glancing at the people who were still obsessed with research, Shen Xiu sighed silently, snapped his fingers unconsciously, and Wu Min, who had been paying attention to him all the time, looked over and found that Shen Xiu was staring at the person below. Somewhere, following his line of sight, Wu Min keenly noticed that the fairy in the upper left corner was twisting and swinging, and there should be some huge monster crawling around underneath.

Could it be that Xiong San followed him again?But seeing Shen Xiu's expression didn't look like it, Wu Min was a little confused, and always felt that an invisible hand was slowly approaching them.

……

The temperature plummeted, and Xing Jianhua, who was desperate for life, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and led the students back to Han Wu's house. Han Wu's wife cooked a big pot of ginger soup for them, fearing that they might not be used to it, she stewed it with native chicken. It is very fragrant.While drinking the soup, Han Wu told them that the temperature has dropped in a large area tonight, and the busy harvesting should start tomorrow.

Most of the people who came to Yuwen Village came to see the miracle. Now that the miracle is going to be cut off, they naturally have no need to stay. Early the next morning, people left one after another. Their villagers also put on sickles and went to work in the field, so they didn't have much time to say goodbye to them.Xing Jianhua and this group of students also had a "busy farming experience" during their trip, so when Han Wu's family got up early to prepare for work, they also changed into clothes that were not afraid of getting dirty. Han Wu went to a neighbor's house to borrow a few sickles, I didn't expect these students to really know how to work, so I didn't manage to do it alone. Everyone took turns to experience it.

Apart from them, there are more than a dozen people who did not leave. These people are masters with plenty of time and money. They came to Yuwen Village not only to learn more, but also to take a vacation. Yuwen Village has good mountains, water, and air. , They are happy to live longer when there are few outsiders.

Seeing Shen Kuo and Luo Tanwen gigglingly cutting corn with sickles, Wu Min couldn't help but cramp at the corners of his mouth. He thought of Linhe Village again, and the group of "farmers" who took harvesting evil souls as their duty every day. Sickles can't be compared with those specially made by the underworld in Linhe Village, but they are all similar in shape, and the feeling of cutting... is similar, right?

Thinking of this, Wu Min could no longer look directly at the villager who cut off a large piece of corn with a few swipes, and always felt that the sickle was scraped from his neck.

How brutal!

Shen Xiu is not interested in this kind of farm work. If he really wants to do it, he can go back to Linhe Village to help at any time, why bother fighting with a group of students here.

Gradually, the physically weak students were left far away by the villagers. Seeing that they were still working hard, these children whose physical fitness was seriously below the standard could only sit on the corn stalks pushed into small piles to pant, thankful that they were born in Born in a wealthy family in the city, the farm work is really hard!

Regardless of the large area of ​​the cornfields that make up the picture, hundreds of people from the whole village cannot be dispatched together. In order to unify the picture scroll, these cornfields are equal to everyone's share, and every household has a share, and the corn produced is also per head. equally distributed.Everyone was very motivated, and it took only two days to mow most of the cornfield.

Walking among the furrows, Wu Min looked at the corn roots all over the ground, feeling a little creepy.The roots of corn are like tentacles, some are divided into two or even three layers and firmly grasp the dry ground. The corn stalks in the field all turned into sharp knives that slanted upwards, full of lethality.

The villagers said that these rhizomes will be dug into the ground when the ground is plowed in the next year, and will become part of the nutrients for planting in the next year, so these corn roots will stand here throughout the winter.

Luo Tanwen and Shen Kuo in front were still fighting, and the two hyperactive children accidentally stepped on the corn root, which cracked it.Plants after dehydration are actually particularly fragile.Wu Min heaved a sigh of relief, laughing secretly that he was suspicious of a dark ghost. Isn't that how so many people breed corn?

Because Han Wu, his wife, and his daughter have all gone to work, it is very troublesome to have to work on the food for their group after they come back every day, so Xing Jianhua decided to come back an hour earlier than Han Wu every day, and they will come for dinner You can't force it to be delicious, as long as you don't get food poisoning.

Everyone was huddled in the small kitchen and was busy with their work, when they heard someone making noise outside the courtyard. They couldn't hear what they were talking about, but their tone was quite impatient.Xing Jianhua was the first to rush out, still holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand - he just chopped up a chicken that Han Wu killed in the morning.

No student is willing to do this kind of bloody work.

Shen Xiu, who was leisurely leaning against the wall and watching these idiots cooking, squinted his eyes and looked out, and followed him out.

There are two fat middle-aged people at the door. Xing Jianhua knows them. They are office workers who have invited annual leave to travel to Yuwen Village. There are more than a dozen people who come with them. Others want to take advantage of the holiday to go to other places. After turning around, they left first. The two of them were too lazy to bother, so they stayed in Yuwen Village and went home directly when the holiday was over.

At this time, the two people were sweating profusely and panicked. When they saw Xing Jianhua coming out, they immediately surrounded him. After seeing the knife in his hand, they took two steps back in fright.Xing Jianhua looked at the knife, put it on his back in embarrassment, and asked them what happened.

"Professor Xing, you're back," the two of them squeezed into very ugly smiles, "It's like this, didn't my friends leave a few days ago, their original plan was to go to the town for a night, and then Then transfer to the city and fly home, but someone disappeared that night. My friends thought he was in a hurry and went out to do errands, so they didn't think much about it. No one came back, and no one answered the phone, the more they thought about it, the more something went wrong, so they called us and asked if he had returned to the village, but we didn't see anyone!" The two wiped the sweat from their foreheads, He spoke in a crying tone: "I heard that some people disappeared in this area before without any reason. Professor Xing, do you think my friend will not be so unlucky? He has already arrived in the town, how could he disappear!"

Before coming here, no one took the rumors of disappearance to heart. In their view, if you want to see miracles, you must have an adventurous spirit. As for the disappearance, who knows whether those people are really missing or sneaked away, they all come here No one knows who they are playing, and no one knows when they sneak away.

But when the friends of these two people disappeared, they all panicked. Naturally, they remembered the rumors of disappearance circulating in the local area. They wanted to ask the village chief about the situation, but found that there were only some old people who could barely hear and some old people in the village. The little guy who can just walk, all the others went to work.The cornfield was so big that they didn't know where to find someone.

Xing Jianhua comforted them a few words, and immediately went back to ask the students to gather together, stopped cooking, and all went out to find someone, while Xing Jianhua took them to the corn field, and it was almost time to call it a day, lucky to meet a match .
