"Ahem..."

I quickly covered my mouth and suddenly felt a bitter taste in my mouth and nose. There seemed to be an unknown smell mixed in the air, which made me feel unspeakably uncomfortable. Looking at Dakui again, he almost vomited out everything he had eaten in the past few days.

"How many years has it been since anyone lived here?"

Da Kui pinched his nose.

"squeak--"

I pushed the door open. It was originally gloomy inside, but as soon as I pushed it open it became slightly brighter, as if I had just opened an ancient tomb that had been dusty for thousands of years.

The tables, chairs, stools, and floor in the house were all covered in dust. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time, but the aunt said that they had something to do and had only been out for the past few days. How could it be possible...

Dust...footprints...

"Why are there footprints?"

When I saw it clearly, I found a pair of footprints on the thick ground.

I'm very surprised, has someone come in?

Looking along the footprints, there is... Grandpa's portrait on the wall, and there is also an incense burner with three incense burning in it. Three long and two short, I don’t know when the incense will be extinguished. What makes me feel even more weird is that there is a yellowed talisman paper stuck under the portrait.

"Xiaoyu, what's going on?"

Dakui looked shocked and at a loss, as if a funeral had just been held here.

"No, it's impossible... Grandpa won't die!" I repeated this sentence in my heart, and big beads of sweat rolled down. Although my parents knew that grandpa had been missing for more than ten years, they didn't mention it. But if someone in the village said that grandpa was dead, shouldn't they put up a tombstone and let him rest in peace? After all, it had been more than ten years, and his bones were still cold, so he couldn't be left without death. Home can be returned...

My mother would retort, saying that the old man is still alive, he will not die, and he will definitely find his way home.

After that, no one mentioned it again.

Seeing the portrait, I didn't know why, but I felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"No, grandpa won't die." I said, then tore open the talisman, took off grandpa's photo frame from the wall, and held it in my hands, "You will definitely come back safely..."

"Lin Yu, come here quickly."

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the second floor, interrupting my thoughts. I quickly walked up the stairs, only to find that it was even more messy. All the boxes and cabinets in the room were opened at once, and every room was in a mess. The room was in a mess.

"It was robbed."

Da Kui looked at me.

I found that everything that could be stored in the room on the second floor had been confiscated, and there were some debris and bottles and cans everywhere on the floor.

However, all the valuable things seemed to be still there. Some money on the ground and the silver jewelry left by my mother were not taken away. Obviously their purpose was not for money.

"Nothing was stolen, but the house was ransacked."

So, what is the purpose of the person who sneaked into my house? If they're not doing it for money, then what are they doing?

Dakui and I had to simply clean the messy house, otherwise it would be uninhabitable. But while cleaning the house, I found a discarded cigarette butt.

My parents are both non-smokers, so this cigarette butt was probably left by those people unintentionally.

"This cigarette butt..."

Dakui held the cigarette butt and looked at it for a long time. I had rarely seen this kind of cigarette. There was a light green pattern on the cigarette butt.

"But with just this cigarette butt, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out who entered my house." I was about to throw it out, but Dakui suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh, and quickly snatched it away.

"What a familiar sign..."

Dakui said, "If I remember correctly, this kind of cigarette is a specially made cigarette and is absolutely unavailable on the market."

"Special offer?"

I was a little surprised.

"Yes, I have seen it. Don't forget, my dad lives in Kyoto City and deals with high-ranking officials every day..." Every time Dakui mentioned this, he would pat his chest and look proud.

"Isn't he just a driver?"

"Then...what's wrong, are those people you can see if you want to?" Dakui disagreed, "Ahem...don't forget, someone gave my dad a gift, it seems like this brand of cigarettes."

"What?"

This guy finally got to the point.

"Then does your dad still remember where these special cigarettes came from?" I asked him quickly.

"Wait, wait for Mr. Kui to call you and ask, it's going to happen in a minute!" After saying that, Dakui took out his mobile phone, but as soon as he opened it, he shook the screen and cursed, "Damn it, no. Signal, I’ll go out and look for the signal!”

"Gurgling..."

I found that my stomach was growling unsatisfactorily. Also, after being hungry all night and walking on the mountain road for most of the day, I was already a little unable to hold on. What happened in the past two days made my nerves tense.

The fire place is on the first floor. I went downstairs and went into the stove room to look for something to put on it first. Generally, people in rural areas burn firewood, so the most piled up items in the house are some dry firewood and two large pots. Then there were some dishes, chopsticks, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

But at this time, nothing was found.

It seemed like the house had been ransacked, and there wasn't even any rice or noodles left.

"You're not really going to starve to death, are you?"

I touched my belly. At this time, there seemed to be something under the cupboard. I lowered my head and saw that it was actually a pumpkin. "No, I remember this pumpkin has been there for a long time. Why is it still here?"

At least I had something to fill my stomach, so I was ready to get the melon out, but strangely, it was as heavy as iron, and it took me a lot of effort to get it out.

But after I got it out, I was shocked!
