Miss Mu and the Canary

Bai Yan: "...a dog hole?"

Li Yining nodded: "Yes, the dog's hole. The dog's hole is behind the greenhouse in the back garden of Mu's house. At the beginning, Mu garden was specially set up for Aunt Xue's Pekingese to go out to play, but it was later occupied by Axuan for us to use. "

Bai Yan's attention was completely distracted: "...I always feel that your words are a bit strange." Why did Ah Xuan use the dog hole?

Li Yining glanced at her, and pointedly said: "What's so strange, I grew up with Ah Xuan since we were young, and there are many little secrets like this that only each other knows."

Bai Yan couldn't help imagining what posture Mu Xing would use to use the dog hole, and she didn't answer her words, but said: "According to what you said, Ah Xuan's aunt passed away for many years, and Ah Xuan was also studying abroad, so the dog hole has long been closed. It’s also unknown.”

Li Yining said: "Back then we were afraid that the dog hole would be sealed, so we dug another hole and asked the carpenter to seal that one. The original hole Axuan found many vines to cover it, back then Axuan often ran away for fun. When we came out, we were all there to respond. If they were discovered in the past few years, Ah Xuan would definitely tell me, so it must not have been discovered."

Li Yining skillfully proposed a plan: "In this way, set a time, and when the time comes, I will visit Mu Yuan first, and if I see Axuan, I will come out in time; if I do not see you after the appointed time, you So I went to Climbing Cave to find Axuan's room, if I couldn't see Axuan, she wasn't in the room either..."

Her face became serious: "Based on what I know about Axuan and Mu's parents, something must have happened."

Although Bai Yan felt that something was wrong, she had no choice but to listen to Li Yining's arrangement.

"There are maids working at the four-corner gate outside Muyuan during the day and security patrols at night. It's time to change shifts at nine o'clock at night. The fourth uncle at the east corner gate has been late for more than ten years, so we will take advantage of this gap. Then I will first I'll take you to find the place, and visit from the main entrance. If I haven't come out after 10 minutes, you can crawl in through the dog hole yourself. This is the route from the back garden to Axuan's room, I will draw it for you to remember..."

Li Yining picked up the paper and was about to start, when he suddenly thought: "Wait, what will you do if you find Ah Xuan?"

Bai Yan said: "I just want to know if something happened to her. If she's okay, I'll go back the same way and won't cause you any trouble."

Li Yining wanted to ask what if he couldn't find it, but then he thought that he should not spread his panic, so he didn't say anything, and drew the road map in a few swipes.

Watching her drawing, Bai Yan thought: "Wait, how did I remember that Axuan's room is on the second floor?"

"That's right." Glancing at her, Li Yining said, "What's the matter? The two-storey building is hard for you?"

Recalling the structure of the Mu family's residence, Bai Yan gritted her teeth and said, "Understood, I will find a way when the time comes."

The plan was complete, Bai Yan went back to the room and searched for a while, finally found a set of clothes left by Mu Xing, folded and folded a few corners, and then reluctantly put it on.

After Bai Yan changed her clothes and came out, Li Yining was leaning against the window and turning the flowers in her hands. Hearing the sound, she raised her head and saw the clothes on Bai Yan's body. She squinted her eyes, snorted coldly, and turned her head back.

Not having time to confront her, Bai Yan rummaged through the closet to find a pair of scissors and a watch, and packed a pair of matches.After some preparations, the two stepped out the door.

The rickshaw ran all the way into the British Concession, and the huge silhouette of Mu Yuan gradually emerged in the darkness.The towering iron fences with sharp angles are like ferocious beast teeth, enclosing the villas that are several miles away, like a dormant beast waiting to go out in the dark night, it is shocking.

How similar to that day... when Ah Xuan was injured, she sent Ah Xuan home.Uneasy mood, confused and unknown prospects, and her love and worry for Ah Xuan.

There was still a distance from Mu Garden, and the two got out of the car. Under the cover of night, Li Yining led Bai Yan to the east corner gate of Mu Garden.

The two hid far away, and Li Yining pointed it to Bai Yan: "See that bunch of bougainvilleas in the corner? From here to there, there are 15 fences, and the foundation stone under No. 16 is loose. You go forward a little." Just push to break the fence, clean up the vines and squeeze in. The road there is blocked by the greenhouse, so you can find a way to go around and follow the route."

Clutching the bag containing the gadgets in her hand, Bai Yan nodded.

Glancing at her, Li Yining paused for a moment, then said: "You are not afraid that I will harm you. When you go in, I will call someone to catch you. If you are still wearing Axuan's clothes, then you will get all the stolen goods." gone."

With a laugh, Bai Yan shook her head: "You won't."

Li Yining sneered: "Where did you get your confidence?"

Bai Yan looked at her: "Because in that case, Ah Xuan will definitely be sad, are you willing to let Ah Xuan be sad?"

Frowning his eyebrows and staring at Bai Yan, Li Yining turned his head away.

"Thank you."

Li Yining turned around, a little surprised.

Bai Yan looked at her with a serious expression: "Thank you for your willingness to help me."

Looking at Bai Yan with a complicated expression, Li Yining suddenly said: "Have you thought about it? Even if you really go in and find Axuan this time, can you still come to climb the dog hole every day? It's just that you haven't seen each other for a few days. There is no other way, what will you and Ah Xuan do in the future?"

Bai Yan didn't speak.

Li Yining continued: "You are not so stupid as to think that you and Ah Xuan can hide it for a long time, right? Even I can call your editor and ask your editor for your remittance address. Do you think it will be more difficult for the Mu family? I I didn’t embarrass you with those dirty tricks because I disdain it, but for the Mu family, you moved their most important person. Just a single word from the Mu family is enough to make you have no foothold in Wenjiang. land."

After being silent for a while, Bai Yan said slowly, "If I hadn't met Axuan, how I lived would have no difference to me, but I have met her, how could I be ready to give up without fighting for it?"

Li Yining sneered: "You dare to say anything to fight for it because you have nothing to give up. But Ah Xuan is different. She obviously has a stable life, a respected status, and her ideals, but because of you, These things can collapse at any time!"

Bai Yan was not angry, she said frankly: "I know that she has to sacrifice more than me. But she is willing, and I will never disappoint her."

"Unreasonable!" Li Yining became angry instead, she frowned tightly, she turned around to leave, took a few steps, then turned around again.

"Is it worth it?" She stared at Bai Yan, "Is it worth sacrificing an originally stable life for this so-called 'love' that is illusory and has no guarantee?"

Pointing to the tulip that Li Yining had been holding in his hand, Bai Yan asked back, "Then why do you keep holding that flower?"

Frowning, Li Yining became angry from embarrassment: "You don't care about me!"

Bai Yan smiled softly, and said, "Miss Li, it's like the flower in your hand, isn't it beautiful if it blooms in the wrong season? It blooms hard, and I'm willing to do my best to take care of it. Even if... eventually it will wither, at least I have witnessed its beauty."

After being silent for a while, Li Yining didn't continue the topic. She looked at her watch and said, "It's 09:30, and I'll arrive at Mu Yuan's main house at about [-]:[-]. If I don't show up at [-]:[-], look Go in directly when the shift changer leaves, and I will pick you up here at [-]:[-]. If there are any special circumstances... you can take care of yourself."

After all, turn around and leave.

When Li Yining left, Bai Yan slowly approached the bougainvillea bushes mentioned just now.

There was a wall lamp outside the flower room, and she saw a few maids picking petals under the lamp, talking and laughing, it was very lively.

As time passed by, the voices of the maids gradually decreased. Not long after, the two maids left first, and the next two packed up their things and left as well.

Bai Yan hurriedly took a few steps closer, and looked at the watch by the light, the pointer was already pointing to 26:[-].

Li Yining was still missing, which meant... she didn't see Mu Xing.

Resisting the uneasiness in her heart, Bai Yan quickly found the cornerstone that Li Yining said, and it was indeed loose. She immediately took out the scissors and began to roughly clean up the vines.

...

In the master bedroom on the second floor of the main residence of Mu Yuan, Mrs. Mu was lying on a rocking chair, looked lovingly at the photo in her hand, and then turned to look at the maid next to her: "Jing Ye, those boys from the four families, who have never been sent out? ?”

Jing Ye replied respectfully: "The fourth uncle went out just now, the old lady gave him advice, he was very happy."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "That's it. I remember that these four boys were very capable in handling affairs back then. It is too wronged to let him watch the door."

Jing Ye echoed.

The old lady said again: "By the way, you can go and show Ah Xuan the keys on the table. I remember that there is a key in it that is a key to a box. I am old and I can't see it. You can take it." Show it to Ah Xuan."

Without hesitation, Jing Ye took the key and walked to Mu Xing's room.

"Boom!!"

Before reaching the door, Jing Ye heard the sound of smashing things from Mu Xing's room. She took out one of the keys given by the old lady just now as if she didn't hear it, and opened the door——and was caught by an iron Chains blocked from within.

"You said I wouldn't eat...Jing Ye?"

After a pause, Mu Xing put down the brass capital that had been kicked off from the bedside post, and then loosened the horrific lock on the window that still stuck to his post, and walked to the door: "What?"

Jing Ye handed the key to Mu Xing through the crack of the door that could only be opened half a foot, and explained the old lady's instructions, then closed the door and guarded the door.

Not long after, she heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

The evening wind was blowing slowly in his ears, and the heart in his chest smashed against the wall that was close to him. Mu Xing almost suspected that the wall was about to be smashed out of the hole by his own heartbeat.

Don't think about it, concentrate, concentrate...

Thinking of this, she firmly grasped the raised relief decoration on the outer wall, stepped on the window sill, and took another step.

She hadn't eaten well for a few days, she was really soft-hearted. As a doctor, she knew very well that with her physical condition at this time, if she wanted to turn to the study next door and jump down to the second floor like she was when she was a child, she was looking for death.

But she couldn't wait any longer.

Either go crazy in the room, or die on the way to find Shu Wan.

There is no need to hesitate about options at all.

"boom!"

The moment her feet landed on the ground, Mu Xing had already run to the huge balcony on the other side of the study, where there were long water pipes imported from the United States, which could fully withstand the force of her sliding down.

Leaping onto the balcony railing, Mu Xing panted frantically, and was about to check if the surroundings were safe, when he turned his head and saw his grandmother sitting on the balcony next door.

"Ah!" She was so frightened that she almost jumped down and grabbed the balcony handrail. Mu Xing was terrified: "Grandma, grandma!"

It is impossible for my mother to tell grandma about her, so grandma still doesn't know about her being grounded, how could Jingye have a key...

The head in a state of hypoglycemia is completely unable to function, Mu Xing can only hold the handrail while adjusting his breath while staring at the grandma on the balcony next door very impolitely.

The old lady was very indifferent, she sat on the wicker chair and looked at Mu Xing with a smile: "Lengxue, where are you going?"

"...Grandma, I'm Axuan." Mu Xing whispered.

The old lady was puzzled for a while, and gradually realized: "Ah, Axuan, it is our Axuan." She continued to ask with a smile: "Axuan, where are you going?"

Perhaps Mu Xing's head was dazzled by regaining freedom, or the wind was too cold and his heart was too hot. Hearing this, Mu Xing's nose was sour, and he suddenly said loudly: "Grandma, I'm going to find your granddaughter-in-law! I, I I'm going to find my love!"

Mu Xing paused for a moment, and couldn't help laughing as a mouthful of stale air was finally released from his heart.

The bewildered old lady next door looked at her, and gradually began to laugh, she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you go, Lixue, you go quickly."

Nodding his head violently, Mu Xing shook his hands and feet, which had regained some strength, turned out of the balcony, hugged the pipe and slid down.

On the balcony, the old lady was still smiling to herself.

"Lengxue, go quickly, but don't, it's late again..."

After finally squeezing in through the fence, as Li Yining said, Bai Yan was caught between the fence and the back wall of the greenhouse, and the road in front and behind was blocked by vines piled up all over the mountain. If she wanted to use scissors to open the way, Bai Yan would probably I can't go out until tomorrow morning.

After looking around, Bai Yan finally found a small window at the back of a flower room. After exhausting her efforts to open it, she finally knew why Mu Xing grew so tall—he must have jumped up and turned it every day. Window training!

Jumping into the greenhouse in disgrace, Bai Yan was immediately suffocated by the strong fragrance of flowers and trees.

The lights were turned off, so she could only take out a match from her bag and light one to barely light the way.It seems that this room is used to store petals to dry.

After taking a casual look, Bai Yan began to look for an exit.

The lattice cabinets where the petals are placed are stacked one on top of the other, and the lights are not enough to see the road clearly. Bai Yan went around, but couldn't find the closed door for a long time. When she was in a hurry, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the door!

What's going on, she clearly watched the servants leave!Could it be...

Her heart clenched violently, she didn't have time to think about it, Bai Yan was about to hide in a hurry when the door was opened suddenly, a figure rushed in, and the two met face to face.

The light and shadow swayed, and the dark fragrance floated, depicting the appearance of the person in front of him inch by inch.

"You are…"

Thoughts are still reacting, the body has already given the most honest answer.

"Wow--" The flower stand fell over, and the petals in the dustpan were scattered one after another, startling countless fragrant dust.

"It's you…"

"…it's me."
