Lu Siyi stretched out his big, broad hand and held her hand tightly. The weeds on both sides of the road were very tall and lush. If someone suddenly jumped out from there, passersby would be completely unprepared.
After many twists and turns, the two finally found a simple open-air toilet.
Lu Siyi was guarding outside.
After Lin Qingyue came out, the two of them walked back slowly. When they passed a house, she sniffed and asked, "Do you smell a strange smell?"
He frowned, his expression not relaxing at all, and nodded.
It smells like gunpowder.
There are no festivals now and there is no need to set off firecrackers, so where would the gunpowder come from?
This matter is definitely not simple.
The smell was very faint, as if it had been deliberately concealed.
Lu Siyi vigilantly protected Lin Qingyue behind him.
“Do you want to go in and check?” Lin Qingyue spoke to Lu Siyi using her lips.
He nodded gently.
Lin Qingyue straightened her clothes and pushed the door open. In the yard, a little boy was lying on the ground, making some shapes.
She glanced at him calmly and felt the blood in her body freeze.
The thing that the child molded was the shape of a gun.
This place is poor and backward. She doesn't think that the child is imagining this out of thin air. He must have seen his family do this.
"Little friend, I came to the village to deliver books. Why didn't you go to the village chief's house to get the books?" Lin Qingyue smiled gently, trying to make her expression look harmless.
The little boy raised his eyes, glanced at her indifferently, then quickly lowered his head and fiddled with the mud in his hands.
Seeing that the child did not respond, she continued to ask: "Where are the adults in your family? Are you alone at home?"
"Who is it?" A woman holding a child leaned out from the room.
"Hello, sister. We are here to deliver books to the village. I suddenly need to use the toilet in your house." Lin Qingyue explained, "I didn't mean to break in."
The woman's gaze moved back and fell on Lu Siyi behind her, looking at the two of them warily.
Lin Qingyue showed a puzzled look. Why did he follow in?
Lu Siyi gave her a look that showed he was afraid that she might be in danger.
"We have no ill intentions. This man is my husband and he is with me." Lin Qingyue said, "We are new here and we are unfamiliar with the place. We really can't find it. Big sister, can you please give us a favor?"
The woman nodded, still looking at the two men with a vigilant look: "My toilet is in the southwest corner of the yard."
"Thank you, big sister." Lin Qingyue left and gave Lu Siyi a look.
"Hurry up, leave when you're done, and don't forget to close the door when you leave." After the woman said that, she turned around and went back into the house.
Lu Siyi's eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning everything in the yard one by one.
Under the window was a row of pickle jars, with stones on top. On the stones lay a pair of dirty shoes, covered with undried mud.
He walked towards the shoes, unnoticeably took a little dirt off them, and quietly put it in his pocket.
After he finished all this, his eyes fell on the child in the yard, who was playing in the mud.
The mud in his hands seemed to have life, but the things he molded made Lu Siyi's eyes darken.
