The sound was very soft, only two rings.

Xingqi covered her ears, pretending she didn't hear anything.

If I remember correctly, although there is a narrow platform connecting the blue tiles to the outer eaves under the window, the width does not exceed [-] centimeters.

If it wasn't for the strange and unreasonable reminder from the detective before, Xingqi would have almost screamed the moment she heard the sound.

Gathering her mind, Xingqi sniffed, telling herself that it was an illusion, that something was brought up by the wind.

But not long after, the sound of knocking on the window sounded again, as if the other party also knew that this kind of behavior was not visible and did not conform to the daily behavior norms, so they only knocked twice tremblingly, and at the same time someone shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Shang, Xiao Shang."

It was Yang Hongzhu.

Xingqi pressed hard on the back of her aching head, got up, put on her coat, came to the window, and reminded, "I opened the window."

The vaguely visible shadow on the window moved to the side, Xingqi pushed open a window, and the cold wind rushed into the room with an earthy smell, Xingqi couldn't help but sneezed.

Yang Hongzhu was standing on the narrow platform, his bent body was facing the yard, and he was facing her sideways.

"I'm really sorry, Xiao Shang." Yang Hongzhu breathed into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, the cuticles rubbed against each other and made a clear shuttle sound, "Is the cold better?"

Xingqi stepped back to make room, "Uncle Yang, come in, it's cold outside."

It's too dangerous.

She didn't even dare to look down.

Yang Hongzhu waved his hands slightly and said, "No, I'll give you some medicine."

He took out a cloth bag tied with a red string from his trouser pocket.He was still wearing his own clothes, with a layer of dust accumulated in the folds.

Xingqi's eyes fell on Yang Hongzhu's hands. They were calloused hands that had been working all year round, and the backs of the chapped hands were oozing blood.He untied the red rope, knocked on the window sill, and poured out something the size of a little finger.

"I dug the ginseng myself to keep out the cold." Yang Hongzhu whispered, "Have a good rest."

Xingqi almost had goosebumps all over her body, "No, no need, this is too precious. Keep it for yourself, here is the cold medicine. I'm much better now."

"It's not worth much, keep it to make up for your health." Yang Hongzhu pushed the ginseng in, and moved step by step to the east building on the left, "I'm really looking for my Xiaobao."

It took him four or five minutes to move to an open window in the east building, turn inside, and when he turned around to see Xingqi, he waved to her.

Xingqi was dumbfounded.

Yang Hongzhu flew over the eaves and walls in the middle of the night to give her wild ginseng, just to reiterate his ultimate goal of finding his daughter?

After shivering several times in a row, Xingqi quickly closed the window, wrapped the hot ginseng tightly with a napkin, walked around the room several times, but didn't know where to put it.

Passing through the secret door that the detective had entered and exited twice, for a moment, Xingqi wanted to knock on the wall, throw something to her, and ask her how she knew Yang Hongzhu would come to her.

But in the end, she put the wild ginseng on a small bookshelf in the corner of the bedroom and slept with her head covered.

Probably because the scene of Yang Hongzhu flying over the eaves and walls was too horrifying, Xingqi had a nightmare of falling off cliffs, buildings, and planes overnight.

Awakened by the crowing of a rooster husky, she hurriedly climbed out of the bed of nightmares, put on two sets of thermal underwear, then put on her thick and heavy down jacket, wrapped like a bear, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Wu Zheng and Yang Hongzhu were there.

"Xing Xing, you got up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Wu Zheng said with concern, "Don't be so busy, I will cook with Uncle Yang today."

"Hey." Xingqi yawned, "The rooster is mighty, don't you guys get up early too?"

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "No, I think the big rooster is specially used as an alarm clock to remind us to get up early to make money."

He cracked the egg into the bowl, "What do you want to eat, do you still cook the porridge like yesterday? How about I steam an egg for you?"

It was Yang Hongzhu last night, and Wu Zheng this morning.

There is nothing to show courtesy, just a little bit.

Xingqi said thank you vaguely, put on her hat, only her eyes were exposed, shrunk her neck and shoulders, opened the refrigerator and took out the rice box, and said in a strong nasal voice: "It's convenient to cook porridge, just put the rice in. I'll use the microwave oven later." Hot buns and steamed buns, and some pickles, it’s a perfect match.”

"Okay, hey, put your things there, and I'll wash them."

After setting up the rice cooker, Wu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, came to the restaurant, looked at Yang Hongzhu, then at Xingqi, "I heard from Chen Xiaohua that you went to Houya with the detective yesterday?"

"Yeah." Xingqi said without hesitation, "I went around the back cliff and saw the great river."

"But," Wu Zheng hesitated, "doesn't the manual say that Boss Wang didn't go to Houya? Could it be that the manual misled us?"

Of course.Xingqi thought absently, it was originally a game of catching thieves.

The worst thing is the detective, let her climb down, go up and shake her face, and even pull her hair.

"I don't know." Xingqi said angrily, "Maybe the detective is bored by himself, thinking that he can't pay the labor fee for nothing, so he just made fun of me."

Wu Zheng laughed dryly, "Tell me, is it possible... the detective has already found the Guanyin statue, and these two days are just to see our performance?"

Xingqi was shocked.

right.

She was still thinking yesterday that if she could find the Avalokitesvara statue, she would definitely not be willing to give 20 points to other people.

What about detectives?

Even if she catches the thief, what good will it do her?

Seeing Xingqi's pensive expression, Wu Zheng went on to say: "Chen Xiaohua is a bit cheap, but he has seen a lot, and now I think he is right in saying that the detective just wants to use us as a gimmick to make a reality show. "

Looking at the flashing red dot camera in the upper right corner, Xingqi couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Although I don't know what are the highlights of the broadcast with just a few of them.

"So, Uncle Yang and I discussed it just now, and decided to take these three days as a vacation. It's good to have food, housing and money, hehe." Wu Zheng took out a bag from under the dining table, "This is I found it in the storage room, I plan to go fishing with Uncle Yang, will you go?"

Xingqi just sneezed, her face dull: "Fishing? Are there any fish in winter?"

"You don't know that, fish don't hibernate, and Uncle Yang said that fish are fatter in winter." Wu Zheng went back to the kitchen, found a few boxes of canned meat and a few packs of cod sticks from the refrigerator, stuffed them into the bag, "We'll go after dinner, are you going?"

Xingqi shook her head violently.

"That's right, if you have a cold, don't go out in the house." Wu Zheng said, "When we come back from fishing, you will have a fever. By the way, will you have a fever?"

"It should... yes."

Xingqi remained in a state of confusion throughout the breakfast time.

Wu Zheng and Yang Hongzhu had a lively discussion about fishing all morning in Mandarin and Mandarin with a strong accent.

After eating, Wu Zheng took the initiative to put the bowl into the dishwasher, and Yang Hongzhu and Xingqi told him to take a good rest and drink plenty of water.Then, the two went out with backpacks.

Xingqi was completely confused about the situation.

Did everyone give up on the mission goal?

After tidying up her tableware, Xingqi decided to go back upstairs to take medicine. The cold came out inexplicably but fiercely.

Not wanting to run into Chen Xiaohua in the east building, she walked from the inside of the first floor to the west building, and went up the stairs near the bathroom.

Today's weather is gloomy than yesterday, Xingqi saw the traces of dampness in the corridor in varying shades, and only then noticed that it was raining lightly.

Hearing the rooster crowing, she turned her head to look at the rockery, a little expecting to see the detective who was concentrating on feeding the chicken.

But no, Husky stood alone, looked at Xingqi, turned around and jumped down the mountain, the bleak fiery red back was imprinted on Xingqi's retina for a long time.

And the owner of this rooster—

Waiting in her room.

Seeing the surprised expression of the red-nosed and red-eyed rabbit opening its mouth for an instant, Xia Libai greeted happily, "Good morning."

"Good morning." Xingqi wrinkled her nose, "Why don't you feed the chickens?"

"It's an adult chicken, it can feed itself." Xia Libai squeezed the wild ginseng that Yang Hongzhu sent last night, and deliberately shook it in front of Xingqi, "How do you feel?"

"I don't think so." Although the temperature in the room was so hot that she was sweating, Xingqi still put on her hat to block the detective's inexplicable gaze, "You knew he would come, and you knew he would give something, so you must also know that he is leaving which way."

"Of course." Xia Libai is not self-effacing, and even quite complacent, "I also know that he and Wu Zheng went fishing by the river today."

Xingqi looked away, pretending not to see the tablet in the detective's arms.But I still can't help but roll my eyes in my heart, there are cameras everywhere in the villa, only those who don't know are ghosts.

"Do you want to know what they're going to do next?"

"No," Xingqi sneezed deliberately, "I just want to take medicine and sleep."

She said so and did so.

After taking the medicine with cold water, Xingqi only took off her coat, closed her clothes and lay down under the bed.The clothes and pants are freshly washed, so she has no psychological burden.

But she never heard the detective go out.

After a few minutes, Xingqi couldn't take it anymore, the first layer of underwear was almost soaked with sweat, she quietly opened her eyes a little.

The detective nestled on the oval sofa under the window sill, with his chin propped on one hand, his eyes downcast, as if he was waking up from a dream, his legs were curled up on the footstool, and his posture was somewhat neutral and casual.

Luckily he was still wearing formal clothes.

Xingqi closed her eyes.Persistence, persistence is victory.

"Take off your clothes if you can't sleep." Xia Li didn't lift his eyelids, and quickly scanned the information on the tablet, "There is no stabilizer in the medicine."

Xingqi fumbled under the blanket, took off two sets of thermal underwear, put on her sportswear, and then lifted the blanket and got out of bed, touched her nose in embarrassment, and said without words: "Thank you for the medicine, it works. .”

"You're welcome." Xia Libai returned to the main interface, clicked on the monitoring software, and turned the tablet over to show Xingqi, "It's almost there."

This should be a picture taken by an aerial camera. Wu Zheng, who is wearing a bright green sportswear, is only about half a centimeter tall, and the dusty Yang Hongzhu is following behind him.The two were walking on the winding path, and Wu Zheng occasionally stopped and twisted his neck to look around.

Not long after, the two arrived at the dangerous bridge they passed the night before. Wu Zheng hung up the bait and handed a fishing rod to Yang Hongzhu, while he stood on the bank with his hands clasped, still looking around from time to time.

Xingqi was baffled, and her legs were a little weak when she stood beside the sofa. She bent down and rubbed her knees, and just said "you", the detective suddenly hissed and kicked the footstool in front of Xingqi.

"Sit down and watch."

She clicked a few times in a certain application, on the screen, the scene below quickly receded, and soon, Wu Zheng who was half a centimeter became one centimeter, two centimeters.

Wu Zheng saw the drone.

He bent down, put the things back into his bag, and patted Yang Hongzhu.

The two quickly put away their fishing gear and left the dangerous bridge with their bags on their backs.

Xingqi: "????"
