A hunting adventure [unlimited]

Qiao Situ is a girl, and she can pay attention to some details about Si Ya that Ding Yan doesn't know.

For example, Si Ya is very timid. She is always worried about people outside and on the roof, so she has to lock the doors and windows tightly every night.

Also, Si Ya's common sense is out of touch with real life. Compared with girls of the same age that Qiao Situ knew, Si Ya is too simple and simple. Although she wants to leave home and go to the outside world, she has no ideals or career plans. idea.

It can be said that Si Ya's only goal is to survive. As for how to live, she has no idea.

Siya said that her family has a farm with horses, cows, goats and a small amount of livestock. Her parents, uncles, aunts and elder brothers all work on the farm, providing fresh fruits, vegetables and meat for restaurants in the town; occasionally rich people pay To her father, asking him to hunt rare wild birds.

She has a vague idea that after she goes out, she can work in the back kitchen of a restaurant.

On the third day after Si Ya arrived, Lan Yu said to Qiao Situ: "Can you believe it? I chatted with her, and she actually said that she had never been to school."

— It’s not that I haven’t read a book, it’s that I have never been to school.In fact, Si Ya received a solid basic education, and she would read and communicate with Lan Yu; but she has never experienced real campus life and classrooms, and she has been studying at home.

Qiao Situ knew that some families would let their children receive initial education at home and then send them to school when they were older.But Si Ya was obviously forced to isolate herself from the world. Her family couldn't provide her with a good family education, and she was unwilling to send her to school.

Sapphire whispered again: "And... I know why she left home. I went to her room to look for her that day, and I accidentally bumped into her changing clothes. I saw that her back was full of scars, and none of them was good. Meat... so horrible..."

Qiao Situ covered her mouth, it was hard to imagine that such an unbearable secret was hidden in that silky and white body, and she asked, "What's going on?"

"It must have been beaten... Didn't she tell me when she came to ask for help that her brother wanted to hurt her?" Lan Yu said through gritted teeth, "I told her to call the police, but she refused anyway, saying it was parenting. Her family member."

"Maybe there are unavoidable reasons." Qiao Situ murmured, "She is so pitiful, I will give her all my clothes."

Sapphire: "She's worried that her brother will find her. I hope we don't tell anyone about seeing her."

So these few days they went swimming and fishing by the lake, Si Ya always said that she stayed at home and waited for them to come back... It turned out that she didn't dare to go out.

Qiao Situ said: "We've been here for more than ten days, and we haven't seen anyone else at all. Where does her family live on the other side of the lake?"

Lan Yu: "I don't know, it's better for us not to get close. What if we meet her family and ask her?"

Qiao Situ: "If we do, I'll throw stones at her brother and parents!"

These private events learned from other people's mouths only gave Qiao Situ a general understanding of Siya's life experience, but she really realized how miserable and abnormal Siya was on the fourth day, after they returned from a picnic. .

The dishes Si Ya is good at are very traditional. She can cook both Chinese and Western styles. Unfortunately, there are not many seasonings in the house, so the hot dishes are always tasteless. I heard that they want to have a picnic in the woods, so Si Ya made a basket for them. Fine food and freshly squeezed juices.

He Lingfei seemed to be fighting with Qu Nan, the two of them didn't talk much these days.

Before setting off for a picnic, He Lingfei wandered around the kitchen and praised Siya: "You are the fairy bestowed to us by God."

After a while, he said courteously: "Don't, don't, I'll wash the knives and plates. You've worked hard, and I'll help you—your hands are so white, don't touch the dish soap."

Taking the opportunity to make physical contact again, "Can you roll up my sleeve for me?"

……

Qiao Situ, who was watching, twisted Ding Yan's arm hard, and said in a low voice, "Look at him! Go and take care of him!"

Ding Yan was pinched in pain, screaming, but didn't move, and protested hoarsely: "Don't mess with me...I'm not his father! What to do!"

The boyfriend couldn't do anything about it, so Qiao Situ did it by herself; she walked up to Si Ya, pushed He Lingfei away forcibly, and asked, "Yaya, come and play with us, you see you've been busy early in the morning, can't Just do it for us, it’s so boring to stay at home.”

Si Ya pursed her lips and said, "I won't go... I'm afraid they are looking for me." As if she was afraid that Qiao Situ would worry, she quickly smiled and said, "I like to stay at home, and I make myself After lunch, you can go to play at ease, I will wait for you to come back."

Qiao Situ persuaded: "But there are five of us, it's no problem to protect one of you... If we meet your brother, we will teach him face to face!"

Si Ya's pupils suddenly dilated, her cheeks were pale, her eyes were frightened, and her sweet voice became sharp: "Absolutely not!"

Qiao Situ was shocked by her strong reaction and didn't understand why she was so scared.

Si Ya's eyelashes trembled slightly, her fingers trembled as she straightened her hair, her big and lifeless beautiful eyes glanced around, she licked her dry lips uneasily, and muttered, "I, I'm going upstairs..."

After finishing speaking, he took off his apron and ran up to the second floor in a daze.

Qiao Situ had never seen such a nervous and anxious physical expression on ordinary people, she was speechless, so she could only think that Siya was too timid.

But Si Ya's fear planted the seeds of curiosity in Qiao Situ's heart - what happened to her?How bad is her brother that she is so afraid of him?

As a result, Qiao Situ deliberately chose the location for the picnic to be on the other side of Mengxing Lake.

Although she knew intellectually that they shouldn't get close there, she was really curious about Si Ya's family members.What a bunch of villains they are, they actually left a psychological shadow on the beautiful and gentle Yaya who would tremble just thinking about it.

On the other side of the lake is a dense forest, houses can be seen faintly on the top of the mountain, I don't know if it is the farm of Si Ya's family, even if it is, they can't walk up there on foot, they will get lost.

Under a big tree with thick branches and leaves by the lake, they spread out the tablecloth for a picnic, laughing and laughing, as if returning to the original happy small group; everyone lay down after eating and drinking, the leaves on the top of the head were finely cracked, and the golden leaves The sun shone down, dazzling.

Qiao Situ woke up from a nap, rubbed his eyes, and saw a truck speeding across the country road in the distance.

This was the first outsider they saw besides Si Ya; she picked up the binoculars and zoomed in through the lens to see the old-fashioned truck clearly - the driver was a black-haired teenager with the windows open due to the hot weather, wearing He wore a black short sleeve, and his lean and strong arms were tanned a dark wheat color.

Qiao Situ's eyes widened. This person was about the same age as them, and the route was to drive up the mountain; the field of vision of the binoculars shifted to the rear of the truck, which carried farm tools and several pigs in cages.

——He can't be Si Ya's brother!

Qiao Situ thought about it, and then went to look at the young man driving the car; his eyebrows and eyes were three points like Si Ya's, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his lips were bright red after drinking soda.

Doesn't look like a bad guy.

Siya didn't mention her detailed family situation to them. Qiao Situ didn't know if she had a younger brother, or if she had more than one older brother; in short, this young man should come from the farm on the top of the mountain and belong to Siya's family.

Qiao Situ put down the binoculars and turned his back so that the other party would not notice them.

When they got home before evening, they all sweated profusely and rushed back to the second floor to take a shower.

Qiao Situ was not in a hurry, she checked the doors and windows of the house, shouted "Siya" everywhere on the ground floor, but no one answered her.

She nervously went upstairs and knocked on Siya's door, the door opened as soon as it was pushed, the room was dimly lit and dim; when she walked in, she saw Siya curled up in the corner with her knees folded, her eyes wide open , as if not seeing her.

"Yaya, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Situ approached lightly and touched Siya's shoulder——

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly stood up and hugged her, her arms tightened around her waist, and she said in a trembling voice: "He's coming! He's coming to find me..."

"Who's here? Your brother?" Qiao Situ's heart was beating like thunder, and he asked, "Where is he!?"

Si Ya: "I, I don't know... As soon as I returned to the room, someone threw something at me... The window was closed, but the glass was broken, I was very scared."

"Don't be afraid." Qiao Situ shook the girl's soft right hand, then walked to the window, and carefully opened the curtain——

There wasn't any broken glass on the floor of the room, so when Qiao Situ touched the curtain, she couldn't help being suspicious, and when the curtain was pulled open, a mass of blood on the glass window came into her eyes.

The window was smashed and cracked, red seeped into it, and dried blood stained a few feathers.

Qiao Situ lowered his head, and there was a dead bird with a bloody head lying on the floor of the balcony.

This side of the house faces the grove, and the height of the second floor is at the same level as the lush tree canopy. It is not uncommon for a bird or two to crash into the glass and die occasionally.

She breathed a sigh of relief, retreated back to the corner, took Siya to the window, and pointed to the girl: "Look, it's just a bird that went the wrong way, no one threw anything at you."

Si Ya looked at the dead bird with a serious expression, tears rolled down her beautiful face, her eyes were empty and hopeless, "He's a bad guy... like a devil, so bad to the extreme."

Qiao Situ was at a loss, devil?Is she talking about her brother?But it was only a bird that smashed the window.

She cared: "Yaya, why are you crying?"

Si Ya ignored it.

Qiao Situ tried to comfort the girl and said, "If you're worried, I'll ask Ding Ding and Xiao Fei to patrol outside and drive away the bad guys for you! I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?"

Si Ya's eyes were rekindled, and she nodded gratefully.

***

"That night, I stayed in Si Ya's room to sleep with her. She had nightmares all night; I asked her what she dreamed, but she refused to tell." Qiao Situ frowned, " ... I also saw the scars on her body, which were basically concentrated on the back and thighs. I couldn't tell whether it was whip wounds or knife cuts. It was so pitiful.

"I broke my hand the year before last and went for scar removal surgery. I cried from the pain, and then I thought of Siya again; if her scar surgery was performed on her body, it would take more than ten times to completely disappear."

Yu Zhen has undergone scar removal operations many times, and he knows how painful it is. He has had it at least eight times, and he can specifically imagine what degree of injury and abuse would leave such a serious scar.

Qiao Situ: "The next day, that is, the fifth day Si Ya moved in, because she and I didn't sleep all night, so I slept in the room during the day. I'll be fine when I wake up in the afternoon, Si Ya's The mood has also stabilized a lot, but her state is much more trance than before; Xiao Fei is very worried about her, and seems to give her snacks and gifts... That night, Xiao Nan and Xiao Fei had a big fight, and I slept with Xiao Nan again One night."

"The next morning on the sixth day, Lanlan discovered that Si Ya had died in the bathroom." Qiao Situ propped her forehead with her hands. She cried a lot before, but now her temples were swollen and painful. "I actually always thought she committed suicide... ...Because on the night she had nightmares one after another, she also said something in her sleep, something like "It's better to die... If I die, I will get rid of you forever""

Yu Zhen asked, "Are you sure there were no outsiders around the house at that time?"

Ding Ding said: "Xiao Fei and I almost leveled the grass around the house, searched the garden, woods, swimming pool, and even the basement. Where did anyone come? Anyway, I don't agree that she committed suicide , finally escaped, and was free, why did he commit suicide?"

"That's right, I escaped, and I'm not alone by my side. She has no reason to commit suicide when she meets you who are eager to help her." Yu Zhen regretted, "It would be great if Lanlan, Xiaofei and Xiaonan were here. Ask them and I'll have a better idea."

Ding Ding saw that he still wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, and said frantically: "Please, brother, no one wants you to be a detective! We want to escape! Escape!"

"Find out the real culprit, prove your innocence, maybe the avenger who planned all this is willing to let us go?" Yu Zhen said, and he suggested, "Let's go on and find Lanlan and Lanlan from the other team." Xiaofei."

And Du Yu.

Ding Ding: "I'm not going! I've told you everything I need to tell you. Qiao Qiao and I are leaving this ghostly place. It's the police's business to save people!"

"You still don't understand?" Yu Zhen said with a headache, "If things are as confusing as you said, then the person who avenges you may not know who the real culprit is, so he put all of you, including Innocent people like me are involved."

"The person who designed us to come to this haunted house, if he didn't want to force you to confess and find out the real culprit, then he wanted to deal with everyone related to Siya's death. No matter what kind of purpose he had, You can't run away until the truth comes out."

Yu Zhen's words were indeed deceptive, because he still couldn't fully believe the one-sided words of Ding Yan and Qiao Situ.

This is a couple with deep feelings. If there is something else hidden, they are the real culprits?

And if he wants to find Du Yu, three people are better than one; first trick them into staying and don't run away.
