I almost searched around the house four or five times with my mouth open, but besides the broken porcelain on the floor, there was a calf-high rattan box in the corner.
I stepped over to the rattan box, reached out and opened the lid, and found that there was no one hidden inside. Instead, it contained a black cloak, an extra-large hat, and a foldable soul-calling flag.
Looking at these things in the rattan box, I couldn't help but frown, and thought to myself: "Why are these things in here? Where did that guy go?"
Just when I was surprised, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps and the voices of two people talking outside the house.
Hearing that sound, I couldn't help but be shocked. After looking around, I found that there was no place to hide anyone in the house.
But the voice was getting closer and closer, and the two people speaking were about to enter the house.
In desperation, I could only hide in the rattan box in front of me.
And just as I gently closed the lid of the rattan box, two men walked into the house.
I tried to look out through the small gap in the rattan box, but since there was almost no light in the room, I could only vaguely see them wearing Yiyuanzhai's work clothes.
I heard a young voice asking in a respectful tone: "I...can I ask a question?"
Another strange voice said: "Say."
The second person spoke in a strange voice, as if he was speaking with a pinched throat on purpose, but even so, I still felt that this person's voice was very familiar.
Just when I was thinking about who this person was, the young voice asked timidly: "Is your throat okay?"
The weird voice said: "It's okay! This is not your concern."
The young voice smiled awkwardly, coughed slightly, and said, "I just want to know, why do you want to dress the same as us? And the old man here usually doesn't let us come, so we... …”
The weird voice said coldly: "I asked you to come, if anything happens, it will be my fault."
Hearing what the weird voice said, the young voice seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. He smiled and said, "Okay! So what are we looking for here?"
The strange voice said: "Find a bottle."
The young man was a little surprised. He looked at the broken porcelain bottles on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Bottle... this... this is a bit difficult. What kind of bottle are we looking for!"
The strange voice said coldly: "A glass bottle filled with red liquid."
When I heard that weird voice say this, I couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly looked out through the gap in the rattan box.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked slowly to the box where I was hiding.
I hid in the box and remained motionless, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that if I made any movement, they would discover my presence.
I saw the man wandering in front of the box for a while
Suddenly, he stopped and slowly reached out to lift the lid of the rattan box a little.
This guy's action made my whole heart rise to my throat.
But the next second, something strange happened to me.
I saw that the guy with the weird voice did not completely open the lid of the rattan box, but opened a gap in the lid and handed in a note from the outside.
Then, he pinched his throat and said slowly: "I didn't find it, let's go!"
After saying that, without waiting for the young voice to answer, he turned around and walked out of the room.
And after the young voice muttered a few words, he also walked out of the house.
After the two of them walked out of the house, I waited for a while before slowly crawling out of the rattan box.
Then, I took out the note that the guy stuffed into the box and quickly opened it. I saw that the note said: "Don't try to change, because everything will go back to where it started."
But what surprised me most about this note was not the content inside, but the handwriting on it.
I looked at the handwriting on the note, opened my mouth and murmured in surprise: "This...how the hell could this be my own handwriting? Don't try to change it? What does this mean? Isn't this all nothing?" Hallucination? Did the Great Lama Gengnan really send him back to the past? If this is the case, how should I return to the original timeline?"
Countless questions started banging back and forth in my head in an instant, and more and more weird things were happening, and they were intertwined like a mess.
I tried to dig some clues out of the mess, but no matter what I tried, it was to no avail.
At this moment, suddenly a white stone rolled down to my feet.
I couldn't help but be surprised when I looked at the stone at my feet. Then, I picked up the stone on the ground as quickly as possible and found that there was a note wrapped around the stone.
I took off the paper wrapped on the stone and saw clearly written on it: "Put on the clothes in the box and go to the back garden."
I looked at the content on the note, frowned and said in surprise: "Go to the back garden?"
Just when I was surprised, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a young man in his twenties timidly walked in from the outside.
I know this person. He is a new student among the three generations of disciples of Yiyuanzhai. I can’t remember his name clearly. He seems to be Li Xiaocong.
Li Xiaocong was obviously wary of this place. When he opened the door and saw someone standing in the house, he couldn't help but be startled.
He took a few steps back and was about to shout when he realized that the person inside was me. Then he took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "Young Master...Young Master turned out to be you. You scared me to death...you...how did you... it's here?"
I didn't answer Li Xiaocong's question, but asked: "Why are you running here so well?"
Li Xiaocong smiled bitterly and said, "Second Master Xu heard someone say there was something going on here, so he sent me over to take a look. I thought Yiyuanzhai had recruited a thief, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it.
It's Master, you're here...Master, weren't you at Cup Plum Hall just now? how……"
Li Xiaocong didn't finish what he said, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.
I still didn't answer Li Xiaocong's words. I frowned and said, "Go back and tell Mr. Xu that nothing is wrong here."
Li Xiaocong nodded and smiled as if he had been granted amnesty: "Yes."
After saying that, Li Xiaocong turned around and was about to go back. At this time, I suddenly remembered something, so I hurriedly called him, "Wait a minute!"
Li Xiaocong's foot that he just stepped out was stuck in the air. He looked back at me with a wry smile and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
I looked at Li Xiaocong's forced smile and asked, "Did you bring your mobile phone?"
Li Xiaocong nodded and said, "Bring it with me. Are you..."
I didn't wait for Li Xiaocong to finish speaking, then I stretched out my hand and said, "Give it to me!"
Li Xiaocong stammered: "For...you? This is...but I bought a new Nokia. I haven't used it a few times? You..."
I frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why is there so much nonsense? I will return it to you later."
Li Xiaocong pursed his lips and said, "But what if...if something breaks, or you..."
I sighed impatiently and said, "Why haven't I noticed that you are such a naughty boy before? Listen, if I break it for you or don't pay you back, you can go to the finance department at the end of the month to get 10,000 yuan. Go buy a newly released iPhone, and the remaining money will be regarded as the benefits Yiyuanzhai gives you."
Li Xiaocong didn't quite believe what he said, so he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Really...really?"
I said impatiently: "Can I still lie to you? Bring it quickly, don't talk nonsense."
Li Xiaocong excitedly took out his newly bought Nokia from his pants pocket and handed it to me.
I took it over and took a look, and found that it was an ordinary model with a market value of less than 2,000. No wonder this guy agreed so readily after hearing my offer to give him a subsidy of 10,000.
I weighed the Nokia in my hand, frowned and thought for a while, then raised my head and said to Li Xiaocong: "Go back! However, you have to promise me one thing, otherwise you will never get the 10,000 yuan subsidy."
Li Xiaocong asked flatteringly: "Master, tell me! I agree to anything."
I said, "When you go back to report the situation later, don't mention to anyone that you met me, okay?"
Li Xiaocong was a little surprised and asked, "Can't even Mr. Xu say it?"
I nodded and said, "That's right! No one can say it! Just pretend you haven't seen me today, do you understand?"
Li Xiaocong thought for a while, nodded decisively and said: "I understand, young master! Don't worry! I have seen you today, and I will be completely rotten in my stomach. No matter who it is, I will not tell anyone." of."
I nodded and said, "That's fine. You go back!"
Li Xiaocong nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! If anything happens, young master, you can give me your instructions at any time."
After that, Li Xiaocong, this little
Zi turned around and ran back to the front yard of Yiyuanzhai.
I looked at the note in my hand and hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go to the back garden to take a look.
With this in mind, I first put the Nokia I had brought from Li Xiaocong into my arms. Then, I wrapped the clothes in the rattan box into a small bag and carried it on my back. When no one was around, I turned around and He slipped out of the independent cabin and ran towards the back garden.
The hut is not far from the back garden. There are only a few rooms for storing sundries between them.
I walked carefully around the houses towards the back garden, for fear of being seen by others at this time.
I glanced at my watch and recalled what happened before, thinking: "At this time, I should be studying the confidential file numbered 274776 with Hua Muling and others in Cupei Hall... If , at this time I was seen by others, and if I appeared here again, I wouldn’t be able to explain it even if I had ten thousand fucking mouths..."
Thinking of this, I became more cautious and increased the speed of my feet.
To be honest, I have never imagined in my life that I would hide here and there like a thief in my own home.
