Outside the cabin, the sounds of birds and insects, and the rustling of leaves in the wind, far from being noisy, feel soothing.

After a good night's sleep, when Bai Chi got up from the bed yawning, Lu Yunxiao was no longer in the room, and the cardboard shell on the ground was put back in its place.

Xiao Hei was also missing.

But soon, Xiao Hei's voice came from the kitchen next door.

Then Lu Yunxiao retorted: "I just beat a few eggs, don't be so stingy, didn't I make it for you too?"

Then there was another angry meow from Blackie.

What's going on?

Can a man and a cat still quarrel?

Bai Chi got out of bed curiously and went over, just in time to see Lu Yunxiao putting Xiao Hei's bowl in front of it.

"Cats can't eat too much seasoning. You're so small, how can you be so greedy? If you eat lighter, you can live a few more years."

Then he looked at the bowl he placed in front of Xiao Hei. There was a fried egg and half a bowl of noodles in it, nothing else.

When Xiao Hei saw Bai Chi coming, he felt like he had found his backbone, and he quickly climbed onto Bai Chi's shoulder.

"Master, please take care of him. I don't want to eat plain noodles. I also want to eat noodles with meat sauce that is delicious and fragrant!"

"Look at this little black cat. He's such a picky eater. He's so small, but he ate so much meat last night. And today he's even complaining about noodles. He won't be able to digest them."

The man and the cat complained almost at the same time. Bai Chi looked at one and then the other, feeling speechless. He could only add a spoonful of what was obviously freshly made bacon sauce to Xiao Hei's bowl.

Lu Yunxiao did mean well, but Xiao Hei wasn't a real kitten, so he could eat anything.

Looking around the kitchen, Lu Yunxiao had already prepared two bowls of noodles, topped them with fresh bacon sauce, and fried an egg, and motioned Bai Chi to eat first.

Bai Chi glanced at his mobile phone on the table. It was only six o'clock in the morning. There was no entertainment on the mountain. They had finished their meal at around eight o'clock last night and went straight to bed.

No wonder you woke up so early.

Unfortunately, God did not give Lu Yunxiao too much time. He had just taken a few bites of the noodles in the bowl when the phone rang. When he answered the phone, he even ate the noodles faster.

After he hung up the phone, he took a few big gulps of noodle soup. In less than a minute, the bowl of noodles was empty.

While Bai Chi was stunned, Lu Yunxiao had already wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.

"I have something to do, so I'm going down the mountain first. Don't run around. When I'm done, I'll take you into the city for a physical checkup."

As he spoke, he pointed to his throat, indicating that he was talking in an incandescent voice.

When Bai Chi nodded, Lu Yunxiao had already stood up and left quickly. In a few breaths, he disappeared from Bai Chi's sight.

"Xiao Hei, how's the situation down the mountain?"

"The identity of the mummy has almost been found. It's the butcher's wife. She was brought back from another place five years ago. Later, I heard that she disliked him because he was poor, so she ran away. I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, he turned into a dried corpse in the cellar.

There were also multiple fractures on the mummy's body, which were obviously caused by repeated beatings.

Bai Chi was silent, and finally just sighed.

No wonder Lu Yunxiao ran so fast.

'Did you find anything else?'

"They took out all the children's belongings from the cellar and asked the villagers to identify them, but no one has recognized them yet."

Bai Chi nodded to show that he understood.

Although the original owner's memory is vague, at least in the past two years, no children have gone missing in the village, except for Erni this time.

In other words, either it was a false alarm, or the children's things in the cellar were put there by the butcher himself.

But what is more likely is that he bought these things specifically to deceive children, but those children may not be from this village.

Maybe not even from the nearby villages.

You should know that this butcher not only helps to kill pigs, he also has a truck and runs around collecting pigs, killing pigs and selling pork.

Sometimes they even contact pig farms in other provinces, bring back some cheaper piglets, and sell them to nearby villagers to make a profit.

The nature of his job means that the scope of his operations is too vast, so it's no wonder that Lu Yunxiao takes it so seriously.

The dried corpse of his wife came from another place, but no one knew her identity, which further indicated that there might not be just children among them.

While Bai Chi was washing the dishes, Lu Yunxiao had already quickly gone down the mountain and returned to the village office, where he quickly looked through the information he had found so far.

A forensic colleague came from the city early this morning and brought them breakfast, so they finally didn't have to eat instant noodles.

However, everyone was still very curious about why the boss did not return home last night.

It was a pity that before they could ask a few questions, Lu Yunxiao knocked him on the head, signaling them to get down to business and not ask so many questions.

Bai Chi looked at Lu Yunxiao who was working seriously through Xiao Hei's projection screen, and praised him in his heart, saying, "How handsome!"

Then he turned around and went into the mountains.

As for not running around, did you tell me that? I forgot.

[The situation has been tense recently, so I don’t dare to drive. I updated the last chapter but couldn’t post it for a day. I’m so upset. It’s still under review.]
