Chapter 337 The diary of the deceased widow Li!
In the early morning, the cold sunlight shone through the window into the corner of the room. From outside the door came the gentle and familiar voice of the NPC mother:
"Xiaoshi, Xiaoli, you can get up now, breakfast will be ready soon!"
Lu Xiaoli rubbed his eyes sleepily, then slowly opened them.
At this moment, her eyes met with Shi Yan's. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air was filled with an indescribable awkwardness.
It turned out that at this moment her hand was still inside the other person's pants!
Lu Xiaoli suddenly panicked, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and his tongue seemed to be tied. He stammered, "Hi... Good morning, boyfriend!"
Shi Yan's handsome face flushed instantly, and he responded shyly:
"Good...good morning, sister...sister, your hand..." Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoli, like a frightened rabbit, hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover his head tightly, leaving only a pair of ears exposed, and explained guiltily:
"Yeah... I'm sorry, I told you before, maybe I'm not sleeping well, maybe I'm sleepwalking or have ADHD or something..."
Shi Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this. With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and slowly pulled away the quilt covering Lu Xiaoli's head.
He gazed affectionately at the blushing, shy and lovely person in front of him, then leaned over, gently kissed her forehead, and said softly:
"Sister, you don't have to be so shy. I'm already yours. If you want to touch me, you can do so anytime!
But let's get up first. I've roughly sorted out yesterday's tasks, and we'll review the details together later."
Lu Xiaoli nodded with a red face, and the two smiled at each other, then began to put on their clothes in an orderly manner, preparing to face the challenges of the new day.
After washing up, the two of them inadvertently looked at their adoptive parents sitting at the dining table and were instantly shocked by the scene in front of them.
Today, the parents were both wearing blood-red clothes, as if they were shrouded by some mysterious power.
And when they turned their eyes to the breakfast on the table, they felt their stomachs churning - the breakfast looked like it was made of sticky blood, which was creepy and unappetizing.
Shi Yan's face suddenly changed. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Lu Xiaoli beside him, and hurriedly ran towards the door.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted towards the kitchen:
"Mom, my sister and I are planning to go to the village chief's house. We won't have breakfast, so please don't wait for us!"
Before he finished speaking, he ran out as if greased, dragging Lu Xiaoli with him without looking back, completely unaware of the four fierce gazes behind them staring at their departing backs.
The favorability between the two is also declining rapidly!
After running for a distance, Lu Xiaoli was still frightened. She gasped for breath and asked Shi Yan with a worried look on her face:
"We're running out like this, so we shouldn't break any rules, right? What if..."
Before she could finish, Shi Yan interrupted her and said softly:
"Don't worry, sister. If someone breaks the rules and needs to be punished or even executed, that person will definitely be me, so you don't have to worry!"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoli's heart softened, but he still pretended to be serious and said in a cold voice:
"Don't ever say that again! Since you want to stay with me forever, then first you have to learn to take good care of yourself. Only those who know how to love themselves can have the ability to care for others. Do you understand?"
Shi Yan nodded obediently, lowering his head to accept the reprimand like a child who had made a mistake, and then solemnly promised: "Sister, please don't be angry. I will definitely remember this in the future!"
Lu Xiaoli stood on tiptoe, rubbed his head and praised: "My little puppy is so well-behaved!"
The two men found Widow Li's residence from the village they passed by and the conversations with NPC villagers. They climbed in through the back window while no one was paying attention!
The house has a standard layout of two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, and the lighting inside is a bit dim.
Lu Xiaoli quickly scanned the surroundings and decisively suggested to Shi Yan beside him:
"Shi Yan, I think we can each take charge of a room to search for clues. This will greatly shorten the time it takes to find the items or information we need!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them acted separately without hesitation.
Lu Xiaoli walked lightly towards one of the bedrooms. After opening the door, he saw the extremely simple furnishings in the room.
There is a single bed in the middle of the room, next to the bed is a slightly simple wooden wardrobe, and there is a small bookshelf near the window.
Lu Xiaoli slowly walked to the bookshelf and took a closer look. He found that although the bookshelf was not big, it was filled with various books.
Perhaps because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the entire bookshelf was covered with a thick layer of dust.
She carefully reached out her hand and blew gently at the bookshelf, trying to blow away the thick layer of dust.
As the air flow surged, the dust particles that had been quietly sleeping fluttered up, danced in the air for a while, and then slowly fell down.
After the dust settled a little, Lu Xiaoli began to carefully examine the few old books on the shelf.
Just as she was flipping through the books one by one, suddenly, her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of something strange - between the gaps of two books, there was a diary that looked quite worn.
The cover of this diary has been worn out and the paper has turned slightly yellow, revealing the traces of time.
Full of curiosity, Lu Xiaoli gently pulled the diary out from between the books and carefully opened it.
However, when she saw the contents inside, she couldn't help but frown, because the notebook was densely packed with some strange numbers and sentences with obscure meanings.
The numbers were arranged in no pattern and looked like some kind of mysterious code.
Just as Lu Xiaoli was concentrating on studying the diary in his hand, Shi Yan, who was searching in another room, also made a new discovery.
He lay on the ground, reaching under the bed to feel around, and after some effort, he finally felt his fingertips touch a hard object.
Shi Yan was delighted and quickly pulled the thing out with force. Finally, he successfully dragged out a secret compartment that was hidden deep under the bed.
Opening the secret compartment, Shi Yan's eyes lit up instantly. Inside lay a rusty key, with symbols similar to those Lu Xiaoli had seen in the diary engraved on the key handle.
Shi Yan took the key and walked towards the room where Lu Xiaoli was, "Sister, look what I found." Lu Xiaoli raised her head, and when she saw the key, her eyes lit up, and she handed the diary to Shi Yan.
The two looked at each other and felt that they were one step closer to the truth.
At this moment, a noisy and chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the originally silent house. The sound came from far away and seemed to be coming towards this side with great momentum.
The two people in the room became alert instantly, and when their eyes met, they understood each other.
Without any hesitation, they flashed and rushed to the window at the back of the house as fast as two lightning bolts, using their hands and feet to flip out nimbly.
Shortly after they left, there was a loud "bang" and the dilapidated door of Widow Li's house was kicked open roughly from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed into the house like a ghost. The man looked panicked, with his eyes rolling around, as if he was eagerly looking for something important in this small house.
At the same time, Shi Yan and Lu Xiaoli quietly sneaked into a very hidden corner in the back mountain.
After making sure that there was no one around, they carefully took out the key clue they had just risked searching for - a yellowed diary.
