Chapter 40 The Night Visit
After night fell completely, Lin Manlu awkwardly followed Zhang Zeyu out of the alley, took a taxi, and went straight to the XX Community in H City.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say a word, the driver made a few jokes, and the two of them couldn't answer a few words lazily, which made the driver a little embarrassed.Lin Manlu didn't know what to say, while Zhang Zeyu observed Lin Manlu's expression the whole time, and kept reflecting on himself.

After driving for more than 20 minutes, I finally arrived at the construction site where the old building in the XX community was overthrown.Lin Manlu stood on the outskirts of the construction site with her hips crossed, suddenly remembered the construction site two nights ago, and immediately thought of Du Zhuotian, her heart trembled.

Zhang Zeyu, who followed him, saw Lin Manlu's expression was not right at a glance, and immediately stepped forward, and asked warmly, "Lulu, what's wrong? Is it cold?"

Lin Manlu was indeed a little cold at the moment, but his heart was cold, and he smiled reluctantly, "It's okay. How can it be cold in such a hot day?"

Zhang Zeyu smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and looked at the construction site in front of him. There were rubble, broken bricks, reinforced concrete everywhere, and said, "It's all demolished! I guess there are really no useful clues to be found."

Lin Manlu felt a little reconciled, and walked into the construction site, saying as he walked, "It's here anyway, let's go in and have a look."

There is a newly built work shed next to the construction site, but no workers have moved in yet, and the two entered the construction site smoothly.

"Oh!" Lin Manlu supported Zhang Zeyu, and walked on the gravel-filled construction site wearing sandals. He twisted his feet several times and tossed for a long time, but he couldn't find any useful clues. Lin Manlu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. I kicked the stone on the ground with my foot, but it missed and sprained again.

"Lulu, why don't you go back? Think about other ways." Zhang Zeyu suggested, supporting the rickety Lin Manlu, looking around the empty construction site.

Lin Manlu tugged at her forehead dejectedly, "Okay, well, it's a waste of time."

So the two turned around again and walked outside the construction site.After walking two steps, Lin Manlu suddenly stopped, Zhang Zeyu was puzzled, and looked down at her, "Lulu, what's the matter?" Seeing her frowning slightly, she turned her head to look deeper into the construction site.

Zhang Zeyu followed Lin Manlu's gaze and looked into the depths of the construction site. He didn't find anything unusual, so he patted her arm and said, "Lulu, what did you find?"

Lin Manlu withdrew his gaze, raised his eyes, and said, "Just now I vaguely heard a voice from over there."

"Sound?" Zhang Zeyu looked into the depths of the construction site again, and there was no malice, "What is the sound?"

Lin Manlu shook his head, "I just heard it for a moment, not very clearly."

"Is it an illusion?" Zhang Zeyu asked, feeling strange in his heart, it's impossible that Lulu heard it, but he didn't hear it!
Lin Manlu grabbed Zhang Zeyu's arm, thought for a while, and said, "It doesn't seem like an illusion, let's go and have a look?"

Zhang Zeyu looked at the depths of the construction site, and there was an incandescent lamp that was dimly lit, and moths and insects kept pounced on the only bright spot. Due to the unstable voltage, the light flickered from time to time, mixed with The projections of moths and bugs pounced over, although there was no maliciousness coming from the surrounding area, but there was still a faint sense of gloom.

Before Zhang Zeyu agreed, Lin Manlu had already let go of his arms, tiptoed, and walked towards the place with the incandescent light. Zhang Zeyu frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and walked towards that place together.

After a while, the two arrived under the incandescent lamp. Lin Manlu covered his eyes with his hands, looked up at the light, and then looked around, frowning, as if waiting for the voice to sound again, Zhang Zeyu remained silent. With her beside her, the mosquito rushed to the light bulb and made a small "beep" sound.

After a while, Lin Manlu finally moved, pointing to Zhang Zeyu not far away, "Yuyu, Yuyu, over there, there is something talking over there."

Zhang Zeyu frowned——still didn't hear...following Lin Manlu's fingers, he saw only a gardenia tree, which seemed to be from the construction site, and hadn't had time to transplant it out.

Lin Manlu ran over, bent down to look at the gardenia tree, and slapped his head suddenly, "Is it you calling?! Are you the gardenia tree that Xiyue lived in the shade of the tree?"

"Yes..." The voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Zhang Zeyu raised his eyebrows - no wonder only Lulu could hear it just now, since they are in the same subject, naturally Lulu is more proficient.

"You called me here just now, didn't you?" Lin Manlu supported the branches of the gardenia tree, and while talking, passed some spiritual power over.

Zhang Zeyu frowned, "Lulu, you..."

"It's okay, Yuyu, just let this gardenia tree have the strength to speak, I won't give it too much." Lin Manlu giggled and interrupted Zhang Zeyu's words.

Zhang Zeyu was a little displeased, stepped forward to stop Lin Manlu's movement, stretched out his hand, and used some spiritual power to pass.Lin Manlu adjusted his glasses, grabbed Zhang Zeyu's wrist, and smiled gratefully at him.

"Yes, I called you." Gardenia Shu's weak voice came again, no longer so weak.

Lin Manlu nodded, "I heard from Xiyue that you don't have spiritual power. Could it be that when she was cultivating, you absorbed some of the spiritual energy released by her, and you practiced until your spiritual consciousness was activated?"

"Yes." Gardenia Shu replied softly.

"Then you called me, what's the matter? Xiyue herself came here before, right? Why didn't you call her?" Lin Manlu asked.

The gardenia tree seemed helpless, its leaves trembled, and it made a rustling sound, saying, "I called her, but she didn't hear..."

Lin Manlu nodded knowingly, and asked again, "Then why did you ask me to come? The sound just now consumed a lot of your spiritual power, right?" Because Lin Manlu was far away just now, and the gardenia tree's spiritual sense For the first time, you have to use all your strength to make a sound, and let Lin Manlu hear it, which must consume a lot of spiritual energy.

"Yes, I called you over, it's about Xiyue." Gardenia Shu replied.

Lin Manlu's eyes lit up, he hurried over and asked, "What about Xiyue? What is it?"

The gardenia tree shook the leaves again, and said, "I saw Xiyue came here again a while ago, and I realized that she still misses the man who took care of her back then. I wanted to stop her in a hurry, But she didn't hear it, and left very sad. I am greatly favored by her, you two came here late at night today, and just now you took the initiative to mention Xiyue, are you helping Xiyue find that man?"

Lin Manlu nodded hastily, "Yes, yes! Do you have any news about that man?"

The gardenia tree shook its leaves and said, "I have no news about that person."

Immediately, Lin Manlu was discouraged, pouted and angrily tore off a leaf from the gardenia tree, and said, "Then why did you ask me to come here! Let me expect so much for nothing!"

Zhang Zeyu watched Lin Manlu abuse the gardenia tree with a smile, and said, "Lulu, wait for the tree to finish talking!"

Lin Manlu pouted, twirled the leaves around with his fingertips, and asked, "Okay, then tell us, what do you want us to do?"

The gardenia tree seemed to be smiling softly, and Xia Feng passed over the branches, bringing out a faint residual gardenia fragrance, "I called you two because that man left something for Xie before he left. moon."
