Chapter 267 Leisurely
267 Chapter 267 Leisurely

When I was in the hospital, I gave Li Yue the spirit stone that stored An Ning Ling. I said to Li Yue: "Take her to the other side of the forest to find Brother Gui Cha, and look at her record. If she can be reincarnated, she will be reincarnated." I can't apply. If the record is still good, maybe I can find her a job or something.

Aning is very loyal, very capable, and has a smart mind. He is a rare talent, but it is a pity that he has a strange boss in the world. "

Liyue asked me: "Are you serious?"

I nodded and said "Yes", "Why else would I have brought her back? She was nice to me along the way. It would be very miserable if her spirit was left in the snake's nest of the Queen Mother of the West. If possible, I would like to Give her a chance, although there are many talents in the underworld, but Aning is also a rare talent, it depends on her own destiny when she gets there."

Liyue looked at me for a moment and said, "Give it to me." Then I smiled and stretched out my hand to hand the spirit stone to her.

As soon as she arrived at BJ, she immediately returned to Qilin City. After finishing the work she left behind this time, she rushed to the courtyard overnight.

When she opened the door and entered the courtyard, she saw Wu Xie, who couldn't sleep due to insomnia, still sitting in the courtyard in a daze. They greeted each other, and Li Yue came in to see me. At that time, I was already very sleepy. He curled up in bed and fell asleep, still holding the blood crystal spirit stone with the frequency of my brother's heartbeat in his hand, feeling his heartbeat.

Liyue looked at me sleeping soundly, helped me pull up the quilt, sighed softly, and the day passed like this.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, Li Yue was already by my side. With her here, I don't have to worry about food and security.

I looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly at the moment. However, I couldn’t go see my brother, and I wasn’t feeling very comfortable. I felt like I might as well just lie down and take a rest. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so comfortable in bed. It’s rare to feel lazy. I was lazy for a while, lying on my back, holding the spirit stone in my hand, staring at the ceiling in a daze. It wasn't until Liyue told me to get up and prepare to eat later that I lazily got up from the bed and went to wash up.

In fact, I know how to put my hair up, but it’s just for playing with myself. I can’t comb my hair well. My little brother is not around, and I can’t take care of my suddenly long hair. How can he put it up for me? It went up quickly and well. I was struggling for half an hour, my stomach was growling, and I couldn't comb it properly...until Liyue called me: "Xiao Xun came out to eat." I couldn't do anything, so I had to do a simple comb in the end. The ponytail went out.

I straightened my clothes, turned around and walked to the door. I opened the door and saw Wu Xie and Li Yue at the stone table in the yard. They were setting up breakfast. I slowly walked towards them.

Seeing me coming, Li Yue said, "Come on, sit down and eat. Wu Xie, please sit down too and I'll take care of it."

Looking at the breakfast prepared by Li Yue, it was quite rich, including "wontons, fried liver, and tofu curd."

I looked at what Li Yue was taking out of her pocket, including "fried dough sticks, fried cakes, steamed dumplings, and a few side dishes." I said to Wu Xie, "Brother Wu Xie, these are all delicious. Let's have some too." , try them all. "

Liyue put it on the table and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some of each. I bought ordinary fried cakes and sugar fried cakes. This box of steamed buns is made of pork and green onions. This box is made of beef. Take advantage of this." Eat it hot."

Wu Xie said: "This is really too polite."

I handed him the spoon and said to him: "You're welcome, go ahead and eat. Do you have anything in particular that you want to eat? Li Yue and I will prepare it later. You just have a good rest here until the little brother is ready." Let’s eat together next time, oh, and Fatty too.”

Wu Xie said: "Fat man, you have to prepare more. He has a big appetite."

Next, we happily finished breakfast. When we were resting, Liyue told us that the visiting time is from 15:19 to [-]:[-] tomorrow afternoon. Wu Xie’s flight ticket is scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow. The flight ticket will be delivered later. After that, I will Li Yue went out shopping together.

Wu Xie had nothing to do during the day, so he just sat on the deck chair in the yard, looking at the big black jujube tree in the yard for a rare moment of relaxation.

At this time, the jujube trees are in their flowering stage, and the jujube flowers the size of adzuki beans are falling down like hailstones with a "crackling" sound. There is a faint, sweet jujube fragrance in the surrounding air.

The sun shone through the gaps between the branches, and it was a bit dazzling. Wu Xie closed his eyes and took a deep breath, showing a smile, as if he was enjoying the comfort of this moment.

When he had nothing to do, he began to observe the decoration and layout of the yard. Looking at the carvings on the buildings, he found that my yard was a standard three-entry courtyard in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to take a stroll in the yard. Take a walk and look around.

As he walked, he arrived at the back room. Wu Xie knew that this was the backmost area of ​​the courtyard. This location was relatively private. In the past, this was usually a place for the female family members to live. Its basic function was to provide It is a space for female servants to live, and occasionally it can be used as a space for the owner's daughter to live. In some homes, it is also used as a warehouse and miscellaneous room.The back room in front of you has obviously been renovated and is divided into two large areas. The door is made of red pine with exquisite carvings. If you look carefully, it is a unicorn pattern. The handle on the door is also unicorn-shaped. Judging from the color, it should be pure. It was gold. He leaned over and looked at the unicorn door handle carefully. The carving was exquisite and the unicorn was very vivid and lifelike. He concluded that this could not be made by ordinary craftsmen.

He stood up and looked at the two doors. The doors were side by side. There was a sign hanging on the door. On the sign, one said "Qilin Ju" and the other said "Universal Warehouse".

He looked in from the window of "Qilin Ju". It seemed to be a living room. There were many old carved wooden furniture in it, which looked like antiques. It was obvious that these furniture were used to distinguish different functional areas. .

He tilted his head and looked. There was a desk and a bookshelf near the window. There was something on it. It should be a few old photo frames with photos inside. There was a glass plate on the desk, and there were some black and white photos under the plate. Although It was very close, but he didn't see it clearly. It just felt like an old photo from more than ten or twenty years ago. He thought to himself, it seemed that this place was used more than ten or twenty years ago.

At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly heard movement in the warehouse next to him, as if someone was moving things. He was startled. He thought that Li Yue and I had already gone out, and he should be the only one in the yard at the moment. I'm alone now. What's going on in the warehouse? Is the night owl living in it?Or was it a thief?

Then there was another sound, this time it sounded like a table was being moved?Wu Xie put his ear against the warehouse door and listened carefully. The sound became clearer and clearer. It felt like the sound of a wooden table being dragged on the ground...

His heart was beating wildly. This movement was definitely not a cat, at least it was a person. He thought it couldn't be that thing in the warehouse in broad daylight.He shook his head and thought to himself, no, no, this is not an ancient tomb, this is a private house, this movement must be a burglar.

Thinking of this, his hand unconsciously pushed the warehouse door, wanting to see what was going on.

He originally thought that the door should be locked, but what he didn't expect was that with just a slight push, the door opened with a "click"!
Wu Xie was afraid, but he had already experienced so much. He thought it was just a warehouse and it was daytime. What was there to be afraid of? After calming down, he walked into the "universal warehouse".

Entering inside, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was not as dark and light-free as he imagined. The curtains hanging inside were not too thick, and light could shine in through the curtains.

He looked around. There were rows of metal shelves in this room, which were full of things. There were bottles and jars, things like animals, servants, and books and paintings. Not far away. There are also many antique boxes on one of the shelves.

Turning his head, he saw a table and thought, the sound just now could not be from this table...

He slowly walked towards the table. When he saw that there was no dirt on the ground, it was quite clean. It didn't look like no one had been there all year round. He became nervous again, wondering if there was really someone here, but he didn't know it. After standing motionless for a moment, as if there was nothing unusual around him, he continued to walk towards the table.

When he arrived at the table, he saw a computer on the table, and everything on the table was spotless. There were some office supplies, a photo frame, a notebook, and a phone. It looked like someone was working here.

He didn't dare to move, for fear that someone would suddenly come out, so he looked at the photo frame. There were a few photos on it, but it was hard to see clearly in the room, but he wanted to know what was on them, so he quietly I took out my phone and took a photo. I checked the clarity of the photo. I didn’t read the content in detail. I just felt around the room. I still felt a little uneasy. I quietly retreated out until I stepped out of the universal warehouse. After a moment, he relaxed.

At this moment, Li Yue and I had returned to the courtyard and could not find Wu Xie, so I called him and asked him: "Where have you been? We are back."

Wu Xie said: "I walked around the courtyard, come here."

I thought about whether he would get better after wandering around the yard, and followed Liyue to take some fruits to wash. I lay down on the recliner, closed my eyes and lost myself.

I was squinting leisurely when Wu Xie came back. He asked me: "Are there just the three of us in this courtyard? Is there anyone else?"

I said to him: "There is Uncle Zao'er who is looking after the yard in the warehouse at the back. He usually doesn't come to the front. What's wrong?"

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the sound in the warehouse just now must be Uncle Zaoer. He followed him and told me that he went to the back and heard the sound, so he pushed the door open and went inside out of curiosity. I took a photo and came back.

As soon as I heard about the photo, I quickly sat up. He was looking at the photo he had taken. He looked at him and said, "Why do I seem to have seen the place in this photo before?" Suddenly he said, "Eh." Why does the person in this photo look so much like you? Then his face changed drastically and he said: "This... this person is a dull oil bottle..."

Hearing what he said, I already knew in my heart what he had found. Those were old photos of me and my little brother. This is where we lived before my little brother lost his memory. I went out for a while and he discovered something amazing. , if he continues to look at these photos, he will find other incredible things.
