Chapter 6 Intense Sunshine
1204 Words
The moonlight spilled onto the country road, illuminating the path for the two people.
Soon, the two arrived at a field filled with haystacks.
"Why is it tonight?" Shixi's questioning voice came from behind the haystack.
The two quickly hid to the side and slowly approached the direction of Shi Xi.
Who told you to refuse me the last two times because you weren't feeling well?
Hearing this voice, both of them were taken aback, as they could both tell that the voice came from Shi Wenwei.
Ying Yan glanced back at Qian Cangyi and noticed that besides shock, there was also an expression of expectation in Qian Cangyi's eyes, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you know about this earlier?"
"It's just a guess, and I've only just discovered it, without any solid evidence." Qian Cang's voice was cold, and there was no joy on his face after the correct guess, more displeasure instead.
"That's pretty good too." Eagle Eye nodded slightly.
"Actually, I’m not really interested in this kind of thing; it's just that the environment is special, so I paid a little more attention. Although the likelihood is small, we are in a movie, and in such a secluded little mountain village, so when this kind of thing really happens in front of me, I won’t be too surprised." Qian Cang explained.
"Maybe tomorrow you can persuade Shi Xi, after all, she is very likely not doing this willingly. Take this opportunity to learn more about Shi Hai Min; the more we understand about Yu Xi Village, the greater our chances of survival." Eagle Eye continued to analyze from an observer's perspective.
"Let's talk about it later." Qian Cangyi seemed unwilling to continue this topic.
Behind the haystack, Shi Wenwei pressed his hands against Shi Xi's head. Shi Xi wanted to refuse, but her actions were very hesitant. In the time of this hesitation, Shi Wenwei's right hand had already slid down Shi Xi's face.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, a mixture of black and white.
Their voices intertwined, as if composing a song that celebrates the original harmony.
The last two syllables came from the throats of the two people in the center of the stage, pulling down the curtain that concealed the sins.
"Go! If there's any problem, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Eagle Eye patted Qian Cangyi on the shoulder.
Qian Cang nodded slightly, "Okay."
The two quickly left the haystack and returned to their respective rooms.
The two main characters on stage continued to converse in the field.
Shi Wenwei embraced Shi Xi with both hands, saying, "So beautiful!"
Shi Xi said nothing; she closed her eyes and silently endured.
Lying in bed, Qian Cangyi still couldn't fall asleep, until the sound of Shi Xi pushing open the outer door finally overwhelmed him with sleepiness.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Noisy sounds continuously reached his ears. As Qian Cang opened his eyes, he still felt very tired. After rubbing his eyes with his hand, he climbed out of bed. He pushed open the door and found no one in the courtyard; the sounds came from the nearby village chief's house.
At that moment, Eagle Eye appeared at the door.
"Someone's dead," Eagle Eye said, his words short and direct.
"Who? When did they die? Is the scene sealed off?" Qian Cang immediately asked these three questions.
Hawkeye did not answer directly, 'Follow me.' After saying that, he left, but before leaving, he took one more look at Qian Cang.
'What's wrong?' Shi Xi had unknowingly come to Qian Cang's back.
'It seems something happened, I need to go take a look.' Qian Cang said without looking back.
Okay, be careful.
"Hmm." After Qian Cangyi finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard without even rinsing his mouth.
Throughout the entire conversation, Qian Cangyi did not look at Shi Xiyi even once.
Upon arriving at the village chief's house, the noise inside had increased significantly. Qian Cangyi stood at the door and listened carefully, realizing that they were not arguing but discussing something. At that moment, it seemed that the people inside had reached a consensus and started to walk out. Then Qian Cangyi saw many villagers coming out of the village chief's house, and their faces were filled with anxiety.
Among these people, Qian Cangyi also saw the previously unseen Shi Xingyun and Shi Xuezhen, the second and third sons of Shi Wenwei. However, at this moment, Qian Cangyi's expression was completely different from when he saw Shi Hongye yesterday, showing no intention of wanting to speak with these two.
"Let's go, we can talk while walking." Eagle Eye appeared in front of Qian Cangyi.
The two followed the villagers, with Eagle Eye and Qian Cangyi deliberately falling behind to create space for conversation between the two.
"According to the intelligence I've heard, the two deceased were villagers, one male and one female, and the time of death was probably last night, as determined by eyewitness reports. Additionally, it is very important to note that when they were found, they were completely naked, and based on the scene, it seems they were engaged in what we saw last night." Eagle Eye straightforwardly relayed his findings to Qian Cangyi.
When Qian Cang heard the last words from Eagle Eye, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with mockery.
"The names of the two individuals are Shi Le'an and Shi Mengtao. Shi Le'an is a young man in the village, unmarried, while Shi Mengtao is a widow in the village, somewhat frivolous. Before this incident occurred, their true relationship had not been exposed, at least not to the point of being known by everyone." Eagle Eye continued to narrate.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" Qian Cang had both hands in his pockets.
"You may ask." Eagle Eye nodded slightly.
"What exactly are we supposed to do, and what is the purpose of this place? These two questions have been lingering in my mind, and whenever I think about what I should do, they always obstruct my thoughts like stumbling blocks. I feel like a marathon runner who doesn't know where the finish line is, having to look around at every step to see if I'm on the wrong path." Qian Cang spoke rapidly, pouring out the thoughts in his mind.
After hearing this, Hawkeye did not answer immediately, but waited for a few seconds.
I originally intended to wait until this movie was over before telling you, but since you performed quite well, there's no harm in telling you now. What exactly are we supposed to do? The premise of knowing this is that we must be at least equal to each other on a life level; if it's impossible to even understand each other's thoughts theoretically, what significance is there in knowing it? As for the other requirements, I'm not clear; the only thing I'm sure of is that no matter which movie we are in, surviving is the most basic requirement!
Hawkeye's words were like a thunderbolt to Qian Cang.
The phrase 'the thoughts of others cannot be understood from the level of life...' had been linge
