Daoist, please stay

The little girl didn't give up.

"The handsome guy, do you have a social account? Small sweet potatoes with acne marks on your neck will do!"

Tao Xi's complexion was a little different, and he shook his head honestly.

"Sorry, I don't have any of these. I'm just an ordinary craftsman, and I don't want to be an internet celebrity."

The little girls still wanted to pester them, but He Zhang, who could see that Tao and Xie's complexions were starting to turn bad, stood up and became a villain.

"Okay, okay, little girls. They said they wanted to keep a low profile, so you should leave as soon as you get a bargain. Now it's just the three of you who have autographs. It's great, and you can accept it before you see it."

While talking, he coaxed people out like an old hen protecting its cubs.

The three girls looked back frequently reluctantly, and finally left.

Tao Xi's palms were sweating, and he grabbed the tissue tightly.

"Qing Lan, let's go. I'm afraid someone will come later."

Xie Qinglan nodded knowingly, beckoning the boss to settle the bill.

He Zhang was even more embarrassed.

Originally, this meal was prepared for him.

Xie Qinglan smiled.

"There will be opportunities in the future."

The pedestrian street is not far from the No. [-] Middle School. Xie Qinglan and Tao Xi walked slowly against the early summer night wind.

No matter how nervous Xie Qinglan was, she could tell that Tao Xi seemed to have something on his mind.

When hesitating to think of a better topic to divert his attention, Tao Xi took the initiative to speak.

"Qing Lan, do you like this place?"

Xie Qinglan murmured in her heart.

What's going on here.Suddenly asked this question again?

He remembered that Tao Xi asked this question last time because he wanted to stay by himself.What about this time?

Xie Qinglan's mind was spinning quickly, and she decided to answer ambiguously to give herself some leeway.

"The living atmosphere and environment here are good, and I feel quite comfortable living here for the time being."

Tao Xi didn't know if he had listened to the other party's words.

Sigh slightly.

"What if... I mean what if. What do you think if I want to live in another city?"

Having said that, Xie Qinglan understood.

Tao Xi is deliberately avoiding something.

I was doing well all the time, and I was enjoying the future with myself a few days ago, planning my career blueprint, why did I want to move when I ran into a girl from a netizen?

Either hide from debts, or hide from people.He could think of no other reason.

But looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he will offend anyone.

Reminiscent of his obsession with making money... Xie Qinglan imagined for him a poor father who doesn't care about him, who has no mother's love, who was mortgaged to his creditor by his father who is a bad gambler. The life experience of earning money to redeem oneself.

Immediately there was endless sourness and love in my heart.

Because he didn't want to hurt Tao Xi's fragile self-esteem, he pretended to think carefully before nodding.

"That's good. Although Pingzhou is good, it's only a small place after all. If we want to develop our business, it's still a bit limited."

Tao Xi turned her head in surprise, her eyes lit up.

we?

"You mean, will you come with me?"

Xie Qinglan smiled.

"Didn't you say that we are the best partners? If partners are not together, what are they called partners? I just made some money, and you want to kick me away?"

"Of course not! I wish I could be tied to you forever!" Tao Xi slapped her mouth in a panic. "No, what I mean is... the two of us are getting better and better, and it's time to let go of our hands and feet! Although Pingzhou is comfortable, it is indeed like you said, and it can't be used. It's not as good as this one Let's go when it's over."

Seeing Tao Xi wanting to run away in such a panic, Xie Qinglan felt a burst of sadness in her heart: He obviously looked like a person who longed for a stable and comfortable life, but was forced to leave.

Xie Qinglan secretly told herself: No matter how complicated Tao Xi's life experience is, what kind of dangers will he face in the future.He will definitely be by his side and accompany him to face.

He will wait until Tao Xi is willing to open his heart to himself and accept all the sad and sad past.

It's a feeling I've never had before.

Xie Qinglan grew up among senior brothers, although she vaguely understood at a very young age that her sexual orientation might be different from that of ordinary people.

But you can also clearly distinguish the difference between ordinary friends and people you like.

At least towards those strangely shaped seniors, he never had any feelings beyond fellowship.

It took a long time to go down the mountain, and I saw many people and things.

I have seen many beauties, both male and female.

But from the bottom of my heart, I want to pamper someone and put him on top of my heart all the time, but this is the only one.

Xie Qinglan looked at Tao Xi, her eyes became unnaturally gentle.

"You decide, it's all up to you."

After getting Xie Qinglan's affirmative answer, the depression in Tao Xi's heart suddenly disappeared.

Excited to start planning the itinerary.

"I'm going to go farther this time, let's go south. I seldom go to the south. Do you think we should go to Nanjing or Guangzhou? In Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, there must be no mysterious things. It is suitable for our business development. However, it seems that there are more people in Guangdong who believe in geomantic omen, and it is also very suitable for development..."

After talking in such a rambling manner, he arrived not far from the garbage disposal plant in a blink of an eye.

Looking from a distance, the small pavilion of the janitor is in a state of darkness, probably not on duty.

Tao Xi finally returned to the topic.

"At the construction site at that time, I felt that the fifth floor was a bit weird. I don't know if it was my illusion."

Xie Qinglan hissed.

"Don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night. Let's not mention this for now, I hope our visit tonight is not in vain."

After Grandma Xia passed away, the relics were basically left untouched.

Does that mean that the diary mentioned by Zhou Kai may still be left in the room?

As long as that diary is found, many things can be revealed.

Fortunately, Xie Qinglan was with her.

Otherwise, Tao Xi might not have dared to come by himself in the middle of the night and the abandoned factories and houses.

Tonight the night is not good, the line of sight is not very clear.

The two tiptoed into the hut, carefully turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone, and adjusted the light to the lowest level.

Although this place is remote, no one should notice this place, but be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

The two carefully searched every corner of the house like thieves, but found nothing.

This room is only this big, and there are not many things.Last time Xie Qinglan looked around during the day, and even touched the thimble in the corner.If there is a diary, it is impossible to find it.

Tao Xi was a little disappointed.

It seems that the diary was either destroyed by Grandma Xia, or picked up by others.

He turned around and wanted to call Xie Qinglan to retreat, but his eyes flicked across the corner of the room, and he saw a hunched figure standing by the water pipe.

Tao Xi trembled in fright.

The light shone through, but there was nothing.

Xie Qinglan sensed something was wrong with him.

"what happened?"

Tao Xi pretended to be calm.

"It's nothing, I was dazzled for a while."

Xie Qinglan paused, put away her phone, and walked towards Tao Xi.

He knew that Tao Xi must not be dazzled, and most likely saw something.

Ever since she lived in a haunted house and was haunted by female ghosts, Tao Xi was somewhat affected.The soul lamp is unstable, the magnetic field is disordered, and it is not uncommon to see good brothers easily.

For ordinary people, Xie Qinglan would advise him to go to bed early and get up early to exercise more, to spend more time in the sun and watch more positive things.

But for Tao Xi, if he cared a little, it would be chaotic.

"Forget it, I don't see that diary here, let's go."

Xie Qinglan said, going to pull Tao Xi's hand.

At this time, the voices of a young man and woman came from not far away.

It seems to be a boring couple in love, passing by when they are pressing the road at night.

"Look at the row of abandoned houses, is there someone there?"

The man said.

"Hate it, don't scare me, I'm afraid."

The woman is acting like a baby.

"No, I really seem to see a light inside."

It happened that Xie Qinglan went to pull Tao Xi's hand, and when Tao Xi was brooding over the hunched figure just now, when Xie Qinglan touched it, he was startled, his hand was unsteady, and the phone fell to the ground, making a loud noise sound.

Coincidentally, the back was facing up, and the flashlight just hit Tao Xi's face from bottom to top.

The curious couple happened to see a strange white face through the window.

"Mayah!" With a scream, the two of them flung their arms and ran away crazily...

Tao Xi reluctantly picked up the phone and carefully blew the dust.

Luckily the screen didn't break.

This was bought less than half a year ago.

Turning to see Xie Qinglan squatting down, and knocked on the floor.

dong dong dong.

Very hollow sound.

Tao Xi understood, and knelt down to knock together.

Soon, the two people determined a range with a diameter of about 30cm by the sound of knocking on the floor.

"This one is empty." Tao Xi carefully scanned the floor with his mobile phone, looking for gaps.

The floor here is all cheap plywood flooring, and it turns out that the gap in this one is slightly larger than the one next to it.

Xie Qinglan took out a pocket knife from nowhere, and carefully pried open the floor seam.

Sure enough, there is a hidden compartment under the floor.

The diary with a dark red cover lay there quietly.

Tao Xi and Xie Qinglan looked at each other and smiled.

Not in vain!

Tao Xi quickly took a battle bath, and while snobbling with a towel on his dripping hair, he sat down next to Xie Qinglan.

"How about it?"

The environment of the color steel house is really not good.

The floor was leaking, damp and stuffy.

This diary has been kept in it for more than two months, soaked in water, and no matter how long it is stuffy, the paper is stuck together.

The first few pages were fine, but the back was almost glued together, Xie Qinglan was carefully dismantling them.

"No, the next few pages are too wet. Even if they can be separated, the handwriting will be a mess."

Xie Qinglan spread out the few intact pages for Tao Xi to read.

Tao Xi glanced at ten lines at a glance.

Zheng Xiaoman's handwriting is very neat, and his words and sentences are also refined and logical.But as time went on, the handwriting became more and more scribbled, and the grammar began to be confusing.

It can be seen with the naked eye that when I wrote the diary later, I felt very anxious.

After Tao Xi flipped through all the recognizable content, his expression became serious.

From these words, he saw a teenager struggling and crying and despairing.

The contents of the first half of the diary are still positive and sunny.

Since mid-November last year, everything has shown signs of slipping into the abyss.
