Chapter 509 Discovering the Secret Note
"It's just a coincidence that you came here. There are no guests in the past two days. The chief executive has given a lot of people a holiday. At this hour, almost no one is moving around. Go and come back quickly. Remember, there are tenants in the B-size room. Don't go in there!"

The old man asked several times more worriedly, and when he turned around, he suddenly remembered and warned him: "You sneaked in today by yourself. The old man is dizzy, and he is sleepy at noon. He doesn't know anything. Neither does Yao Qier." Affection!"

Ma Xingyun repeatedly nodded in agreement, and carefully entered the guest house, thinking that the old man was so kind to the beggar, so the beggar is considered lucky, with these kind-hearted people taking care of him occasionally, he can survive.

The guest house they had back then was still sealed, and he wanted to tear off the seal and go in directly, but his hands stopped the moment he touched the door.

He looked left and right, then pushed open the window lattice and jumped in. The moment he landed and lowered his head, he noticed something strange. This guest house may not have been cleaned in the past few days, and the thatch and dust on the roof were scattered on the ground. thin layer.So he saw the faint footprints on the ground at a glance.

Although I don't know who these footprints belonged to, they definitely didn't belong to the post house, and it was probably an uninvited guest like him.

An uninvited guest like him has a purpose here, but he doesn't know if that person's purpose is the same as his own.

Ma Xingyun didn't think too much about it, he searched the house for a long time, but found nothing, and left in frustration.

When he walked to the B-size house that the old man had ordered, he hesitated for a moment, curious in his heart who would dare to come and stay at this time.

He listened for a long time in front of the window lattice, but there was no movement inside. What's even more strange was that even when he fell asleep, there was no sound of breathing or turning over.At this time, the entire guest house was very quiet, and this guest house was not big, as long as there was any movement inside, he should be able to hear it from outside.

He hesitated for a moment, dipped his hand in the saliva, poked a hole in the window paper, and then glanced inside, but there was no one inside.

With this discovery, Ma Xingyun might not be reconciled to making this trip in vain, and then pushed open the window lattice to jump in, but he didn't expect to open it after pushing for a long time.

This was interesting, he went to push the door again, and sure enough the door was locked, there must be a ghost.

Ma Xingyun took out a dagger, inserted it carefully into the crack of the door, and opened the door bolt little by little. After a while, he entered the room.

He looked at the room, there was no one at all, no one lived in it at all, only an unfinished cup of cold tea was placed on the table.

After Ma Xingyun looked around, he found that there was still a window lattice on the back wall of the house. He walked over and pushed it and found that the window lattice was open. He opened it and saw a secluded alley outside, which is a good place to evacuate. place.

After thinking about it, he decided not to return the same way, but fastened the bolt on the door, and jumped from the window lattice on the back wall.

Before leaving, Ma Xingyun glanced back in a strange way, and suddenly his heart jumped uncontrollably, and he walked uncontrollably to the base of the wall.He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the familiar mark on the wall, then stretched out his hand and slowly touched that mark, as if it took a long time for him to calm himself down.

But the waves in his heart were still uncontrollably rising and falling, "They are here, third brother, they are here to save us!"

Ma Xingyun ran to the middle of the alley, looked back and forth on both sides, then ran to the entrance of the alley in one direction, searched around but found no trace, then ran back immediately, but still did not find it at the entrance of the other side of the alley, he was a little anxious , but I don't know what to do.

"Boss!" At this moment, Ding He's voice suddenly came, and Ma Xingyun came back to look at Ding He and Yao Qier who were running from the front. They looked at him with some puzzlement, and asked worriedly: "Boss, What’s wrong with you?"

Ma Xingyun shook his head and did not speak, Yao Qier looked around and asked thoughtfully, "Boss, did you find anything?"

After hearing Ma Xingyun's words, he suddenly calmed down, turned his head and said to the two of them, "Go back first, I'll walk by myself!"

Yao Qier looked at Ma Xingyun's back, and looked at Ding He worriedly, "Brother Ah He, why do I feel that something is wrong with the boss, he will not encounter anything, right?"

"How do I know, how about we follow up and see, maybe there is someone who can help!" Ding He dragged Yao Qier to follow after finishing speaking.

Ding He and Yao Qier watched Ma Xingyun return to the front door of the post house from afar, looking left and right, up and down, as if they were looking for something.Moreover, he found a big tree opposite the post house from the door, and suddenly squatted down behind the big tree, and stretched out his hand to rub the tree.

"Yaoqi'er, do you think he didn't find what he wanted, and he was so anxious?" Ding He asked in a low voice.

Yao Qier watched Ma Xingyun's movements carefully, but did not answer.

After Ma Xingyun left excitedly, Yao Qier quickly walked up to the big tree and started looking for it.Ding He asked in bewilderment, "Yao Qier, what are you looking for? Are you also crazy?"

Yao Qier found a carved symbol at the root of the tree. Although he couldn't understand the meaning, he knew that it must not be drawn randomly by some child, and there must be a purpose behind it that he didn't know.

He stretched out his right index finger and copied it on the palm of his left hand, carefully memorizing this symbol.

When Yaoqier and Ding He returned to the ruined temple, Ma Xingyun still hadn't come back. Ding He asked worriedly, "Yaoqier, do you think he won't come back?"

Yao Qier took the branch and drew that symbol on the ground over and over again, without raising his head, he said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as he doesn't find a way out of the city, he will have to come back again!"

Sure enough, when the sky was getting darker, Ding He heard footsteps outside the ruined temple, and Yao Qier immediately raised his foot to scratch off the symbols on the ground, stood up and walked to Ding He, and the two smiled and looked at Ma Xingyun who came in.

Ma Xingyun looked a little listless, and ignored the two of them, lying on the ground and ignoring them.

Yao Qier and Ding He looked at each other, Ding He picked up some leftover food from today, handed it to Ma Xingyun courteously, and whispered: "Boss, you must be hungry after running all day, there is still some food here."

Only then did Ma Xingyun turn his head to look at him, and suddenly asked, "You have a father and an elder brother, why did you also become an orphan and end up on the street?"

The smile accumulated on Ding He's face immediately dissipated, and he sat in the corner silently with his face sinking like water.

Ma Xingyun knew that he also had his own unfortunate story, seeing that he couldn't tell for a while, he didn't force him, and instead lay back.

In fact, he was not in the mood to listen to the story, but his thoughts were in a mess, and he couldn't tell. He couldn't lie. He subconsciously poked someone's sore spot with a needle. After poking, he felt a little sorry, so he stopped talking. Lie down and think about what happened today.

'Looking at the secret note, the third brother must have come, but I don't know how many people have come, so where can he be at this moment?I don't know if he left a secret note today, can the third brother see it?"

Ma Xingyun was thinking about how to reunite with the three brothers, when he suddenly heard Ding He say, "My father used to be a carpenter, and he helped the neighbors in the workshop to do some woodwork."
