Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Li Hao sat on the bed and used a hair dryer to blow dry the red envelope that had just taken a bath.

The other brothers, standing or sitting, gathered in the room to discuss a rescue plan.

Zhao Xiaotong took a notebook and drew a simple sketch of what he saw with Zhao Yibo. As they drew, they explained the basic situation to the others. "This is a street of B&Bs. Each house is independent. They live in the one on the south side. There are two peacocks at the door and security bars on the windows. It's easy to spot."

"There are three people in this family: mom, dad, and a little girl. My eldest brother and Yuan Lai should be in the bedroom."

Wang Yiheng asked, "So are we going to rescue Big Brother and Yuan Lai tonight?"

"How can we save them?" Li Hao stopped, feeling that this was unreliable. "How can we rely on ourselves?"

Since the boss is not here, the biggest one is Lu Zhuo, and everyone else's eyes unconsciously focus on him.

Lu Zhuo was under great pressure. "Why are you looking at me? Let's discuss it together."

Li Gengyun had already taken out a sunscreen mask from his bag and put it on. He raised his "gun" with both hands and pointed it at the door. "Brothers, we're short of weapons! We can't just engage in close combat."

"What kind of weapon do you want? What? You want a 'gun'?" Zhuo Yuan sat on the table, holding Chen Shaoxi's shoulders to prevent himself from falling.

Li Gengyun countered, "What I'm saying is, we don't know what weapons the robbers have, so we can't act rashly. The question of whether they have a gun or not is a matter for the police."

Chen Shaoxi bent over and buried his face in his knees, holding the red envelope in his paw. "You guys discuss it, my brain is not working anymore."

He Haonan turned over in bed, as if he had found a confidant. "Yes, yes, I won't get involved in this kind of thing. Just let me know what to do after you've discussed it."

Zhao Yibo and Zhao Xiaotong shook their heads simultaneously. "We can't just rob. There are so many people around. If it causes chaos, it will be all over. Boss Qi just said he's contacting the local police to cooperate with the investigation."

"Yes, we have to wait for the police to arrive. We can't do it alone. Xiao Tong and I have planned this: tomorrow morning we will pretend to be tourists and stay in that guesthouse. We will first see what's going on over there, and monitor the criminals' movements. When the police arrive, we will catch them all in one fell swoop."

Li Hao raised his hand, expressing a strong refusal. "We've both shown our faces, they might recognize you two! It won't be that kind of thing if we go there."

"You're walking into a trap." Lu Zhuo replied, his hands on the table thinking.

Li Hao flipped up Hong Bao's ears and dried them with a hair dryer. "Don't be impulsive."

Zhao Yibo closed his pen and suggested, "Why don't we first ask Mr. Qi what he means?"

"Yes, ask Mr. Qi." Li Gengyun emphasized.

Wang Yiheng smiled awkwardly, "Boss Qi isn't here. He left after you guys left, too. I don't know where he is now."

For a moment, the room fell silent. Hong Bao lay on the floor with his belly turned upside down, staring out the window at the lonely figure.

Qi Rong was walking alone in the heavy rain at this time. The raindrops bounced back and formed an invisible air shield around him.

He walked behind the big tree and looked quietly at Yuan Lai who was sleeping soundly in the room.

"What would you choose?"

The golden hairpin in Qi Rong's palm passed through the rain curtain, passed through the window, and gently inserted into Yuan Lai's head.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and Qi Rong smiled bitterly, "It really is a place outside the domain."

Behind him, Meng Meiyi quietly appeared, walked up to Qi Rong, and teased, "Look at this blue-purple blood, you want to dye the cloth here?"

Seeing Qi Rong didn't reply, Meng Meiyi glanced at Yuan Lai in the room and said, "The dreamland is so illusory, not to mention that this dream is a retrospective dream. Even if it is you, your body can't hold on for much longer."

Qi Rong asked, "What if she hadn't killed those ten people? Would she never have woken up?"

"That won't happen. After all, this has already happened. If I can't kill him, I can't sever the bond between them. Yuan Lai will make the same mistake again."

"Isn't that..."

Qi Rong leaned against the tree trunk, and the mist rising from his body was even thicker than that from other places.

Meng Meiyi confirmed what Qi Rong was thinking, "Yes, Yuan Lai will come back."

Looking at Qi Rong's increasingly pale face, Meng Mei warned him, "If you don't return to Daming, you will become the victim of the Bone-Sounding Beast."

"I told you I would get her out of here."

Meng Mei sneered twice, "How can you save others if you've already lost your life? Let's go, I can't drive you away. So, can we go to Fuxian Lake to recover some energy?"

"Fuxian Lake?"

"It should be the replacement of the Great Ming."

The two disappeared where they were. The little girl in the house, clinging to the door, turned around and whispered to her parents, "I think I saw a fairy."

The father was so engrossed in watching TV that his daughter's words went in one ear and out the other. "Oh, what does a god look like?"

The little girl replied, "One is purple, one is red, one is a boy and one is a girl, and they can fly."

The mother laughed and praised her daughter's rich imagination. "Do the gods look like us?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously, "No, their faces are longer and their hair is longer."

Mom and Dad looked at each other for two seconds and then said to the little girl, "It's time for you to go to bed."

It is suspected that hallucinations occurred due to staying up too late.

The next day, the little girl came to Yuan Lai's room with breakfast and knocked on the door politely, "Brother and sister, it's time for breakfast!"

After knocking for a long time and no one answered, the little girl asked her parents to open the door, only to find that there was no one inside.

The bandits dragged Yuan Lai and Jiang Dunhao up the mountain before dawn.

It had just rained, and the road up the mountain was very slippery. There were no man-made stairs, so we could only walk up.

Yuan Lai wrapped a thin raincoat around his waist to facilitate movement, and thoughtfully reminded the bandits, "There has been a landslide here. Do we have to take this road?"

The two gangsters didn't even turn their heads, but just pulled the nylon rope in their hands hard.

At this moment, Yuan Lai really wanted the bandits to give her two more injections so that she would faint.

Jiang Dunhao steadied himself, held on to a tree as a support point and walked forward, searching the ground carefully, wondering if he could pick up something sharp to cut the rope.

Looking up, he saw something hidden in Yuan Lai's hair. He took a few quick steps and called Yuan Lai in front of him softly, "Yuan Lai, your hair..."

Yuan Lai subconsciously touched her hair and was surprised to find that her gold hairpin was back!

In order not to arouse suspicion, Yuan Lai quickly plucked a leaf and held it in his hand. "It's okay, it's just a leaf. You have to climb faster, otherwise you will miss the boss's lunch."

At the foot of the mountain, the nine brothers looked at the endless mountains and felt fear in their hearts. "It's such a high mountain. Can we still come down after climbing it?"

Hongbao barked excitedly and couldn't wait to rush up the mountain.

"Never mind, let's follow last night's plan and abandon the landslide route and climb up from here."

Nine people were eager to try.

This mountain is also considered a semi-scenic development zone. The road they chose has an artificial mountain road and is easier to climb.

"You're all tough guys! Don't turn back."

"Let's see who can climb faster."

"What's the point of climbing fast? We are here to rescue people. Let's see who finds Big Brother first."

"We must watch our feet carefully and take each step firmly. We cannot distrust the map, but we cannot trust it completely either."

Li Gengyun set off first, followed by Zhuo Yuan, and the others followed.

Li Hao ignored Hongbao's struggle and held it in his arms, "Follow me."

"Woof woof." Hongbao looked eagerly to show that he could run on the ground by himself.

Li Hao flatly refused, "No, you're still young. What if your paws step on something dirty?"

The higher they climbed, the steeper the slope became. The nine brothers went from fighting alone to supporting each other in the end.

"Brother, will they take this route?"

"Yeah, what if Big Brother has been sold abroad before we even climb up?"

"The map shows that there's a two-way intersection ahead. It's a resting place. If we can see Big Brother there, we'll be ninety-nine percent successful."

Li Hao was a little tired from climbing the mountain. He sat on the stairs and gasped for breath. He loosened his grip and the red envelope broke free from the traction rope and quickly went into the mountains.

"Ah!" Chen Shaoxi was startled by the unknown creature that suddenly jumped out from under his feet and shouted. He looked closely and saw that it was Hongbao. "Hongbao ran away!"

Everyone immediately stood up and climbed in the direction where the red envelope disappeared.

Hong Bao looked at the figure behind him with a proud look on his face. "Humans are just slow, Yuan Lai! Wait, I'll come rescue you right away!"
