The night fell completely. Apart from the cold and desolate silver moon, there was no star in the whole sky. There were not many stars at night with moons. Qin Mu only widened his eyes and looked for it, just trying to find one to advise the stars.

Qin Mu tore a piece of meat with both hands, which was almost the same as the other people who kept stuffing the meat into their mouths. The group of people swallowed it whole, ignoring the feelings of the people around them. Except for the unwelcome bean sprouts and the monk with a sad face, the rest were all gnawed.

"It's great." Zhao Laoshi squeezed out a word, patted his round belly, sat happily next to the old locust tree, took out a inferior cigarette from his trouser pocket, slapped it under his nose and smelled it, and then lit it.

"Don't smoke." Qin Mu said angrily. He discovered that since these two second-hand policemen entered this mountain village, they have fallen in love with smoking. Not only Zhao Laoshi has smoked, but the amount here seems to have doubled. Yu Xiu doesn't smoke, and is driven to smoke together.

Qin Mu secretly despised these two smokers. Qin Mu also knew that it was because tobacco could temporarily numb people's nerves. Since they were inexplicably demoted and then chased by others, they were depressed for a while. From the first time when they saw Yu Xiu on the construction site, Qin Mu knew that this guy still had a heart of not giving in to his knees. He chose to stay in such a place not just because of remote problems.

Zhao Laoshi took the lighter away, but he didn't see him put away the cigarette. The duo stumbled towards the old man who had finished eating the meat and sat on the ground and looked at Yin Yue smirking. Qin Mu couldn't move, so he just lay on the table and took a look, and then stopped paying attention.

I wonder if my life is too comfortable, why do I want to sleep when I eat enough?

Zhao Laoshi stumbled towards the old man, looking at the round moon in the sky with wrinkles on his face.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Laoshi observed the old man for a while, sat next to the old man, and kept in the same position as the old man.

"I'm looking at the moon."

"Why look at the moon?"

"Because you can see who the next one is on the moon..." The old man's tone suddenly became sinister, the sound was the same as the sound of the sudden change of the locust tree before. Qin Mu looked up suddenly and saw that the old man's body was like a broken willow catkin, shaking and then fell to the ground.

Under the cold moonlight, the old man's face was smiling, and a smear of blood was slowly flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

Zhao Laoshi was stunned for a long time before stretching out his trembling hands to breathe. When Qin Mu arrived like crazy, he shook his head sadly at him.

Qin Mu opened his mouth and glanced at Li Suo, and suddenly felt that all the words were pale.

The most surprising thing was Li Suo. His expression didn't seem to know in advance. Looking at the direction of the old man's fall, he was the one who ran over first, and his reaction speed was faster than Qin Mu.

After a person died, everyone had no intention of eating. Qin Mu pulled everyone away and put one hand on the other person's pulse. He could not see any expression on his face. He just looked up at the invisible sky. Occasionally, he seemed to hear the sound of the black owl. This kind of bird who likes to eat carrion seemed to know that there was a dead person below, constantly wandering in the air.

"What?" Yu Xiu saw that Qin Mu didn't speak for a long time, which was really shocking.

"The soul is gone." Qin Mu's tone was like a stern puppet, dull and numb, but everyone could hear the heavyness in his tone.

"How is that possible?" Li Suo's eyes widened in an instant. He covered his hand on the old man's eyes. The old man died with his eyes open, and this was just to let him sleep.

At the beginning, Qin Mu was not unquestionable about Li Suo because the meat given to them was placed on large plates, but the meat given to the old man was placed on a slightly smaller plate, and it was not filled much, as if it was because the other party was an old man.

Based on this alone, Qin Mu had enough reason to suspect that Li Suo had placed enough poison in the seemingly small plate of wild boar meat.

But that is impossible.

Because if the old man died of poisoning, then shortly after the death of a person, the soul would emerge from his body, and he would be confused and at a loss and overwhelmed in his body, but now, there is no.

His soul was in his body, but it was broken into countless pieces. If others also had yin and yang eyes, they could clearly see that the soul was split into pieces, like a mirror. His soul was still wide open, but the expression on his face was horror, not a smile.

Qin Mu was a little uncomfortable with staring at a broken face for a long time. He turned his head and said to Li Suo: "Burn it." If it is burned, it can crush the bones and ashes, and all of this soul that has become fragments will be scattered.

There was a crow on the old locust tree. It suddenly made a croaking sound, which seemed particularly harsh and lonely in this quiet night. Zhao Laoshi roared, not only not driving away the crow, but instead made its scream louder, as if mocking the ignorant humans.

"Where did the crow come from? It's really bad luck." When Zhao Laoshi encountered this, he always felt that the gray layer on his body was as if he couldn't get rid of the smog, and he couldn't help complaining.

"No, this corpse cannot be burned." Li Suo stared at the corpse, as if after watching it for a long time, the corpse would sit up and patted his body and say that it was just a joke.

"What do you want? Early in the morning, the villagers found this old guy dead at your door, eating your wild boar meat, and then you became the target of everyone's suspicion?" Qin Mu couldn't help but step forward and persuaded, "Drive away by all the villagers?"

Li Suo gritted his teeth and stared at Qin Mu without saying anything.

"This is the only way right now." Yu Xiu sighed. If it was not as good as Qin Mu said, the villagers knew about it the next day, it would be endless trouble. Besides, he is not a policeman now, so why bother to follow something that does not exist?

"I can carry him back to the house and commit suicide." Li Suo was obviously farther than Qin Mu and Yu Xiu. He was stunned for a moment and said. When he opened his mouth, Qin Mu and Yu Xiu both looked at him with their eyes flashing.

"What's wrong?" Li Suo obviously didn't think too much. Obviously, Qin Mu and Yu Xiu were extremely unaware of this thankless behavior. Li Suo lowered his head and said lightly: "I just don't want to burn him with my own hands."

That night, the night was bright and the stars were sparse, and the slow wind roared around everyone. Li Suo's face was light and the wind was light. His eyes were like a quiet lake. Those melancholy expressions settled at the bottom of the lake and were not revealed. He raised his face and smiled silently at the dark night sky. His smile was gentle and beautiful, but there was no sign of joy.
