"It turns out he was playing tricks on me." Shi Xiaonian understood and laughed at himself, "It turns out that I am hurting you just as much as I am giving up on myself."
A doctor gave her vitamins as a sedative, and a blind man tried his best to memorize the broken wall maze.
"This doesn't mean being tired, it means someone is willing to care about you. Like Xiaokui, he would ask my mother if she was unhappy and if it was because she did not do well in the exam. Like Holy, she would ask Dr. Luo if pregnancy made you particularly hard. So you are in a bad mood." Mu Qianchu said.
Shi Xiaonian was a little stunned. It turned out that the two children cared about her so much in private. It turned out that Xiaokui's improvement in grades was because of her efforts.
Little fools, two little fools.
"I'm afraid I can't bear everyone's concern." Shi Xiaonian still wanted to escape.
"I don't want to hear these words anymore. I just want to ask you if you are willing to cheer up again, just this time." Mu Qianchu stood in front of her and said, with a smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, raised his eyes to look at the paint on his head, and then said, "Can I still say no? Anyway, now I'm hurting others by giving up on myself, so what should I be afraid of? You said no anyway." To make anyone disappear from my side.”
After saying these words, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt relaxed, and she couldn't explain why.
Maybe it's been too long since she risked herself regardless of the consequences.
Hearing this, the smile on Mu Qianchu's face deepened, he touched his hair and said, "Let's go, I have to wash my hair. This smell is really bad."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian smiled and nodded, and walked back with him. Mu Qianchu's hand brushed hers, and she clearly felt his hand stiffen, and then he retracted.
He was blind, so she could look at him openly. He lowered his eyes with a subtle expression, and kept rubbing the place where he accidentally touched her.
Shi Xiaonian suddenly thought of the silent hug just now, sighed softly, and said nothing.
…
Luo Lie was shocked that Shi Xiaonian was finally willing to let go of those shadows and keep the baby. He never thought that Shi Xiaonian's illness was not cured by himself, nor by Gong Ou, but by Mu. Qianchu was cured.
Although it is not yet certain that he is cured, it is not far away if Shi Xiaonian is willing to step out.
In the living room, Mu Qianchu sent everyone out, leaving only Shi Xiaonian and Luo Lie.
Shi Xiaonian sat alone on the single sofa, and Mu Qianchu sat on the other side. He handed her a cup of freshly brewed milk tea and said, "What we are facing now is a problem. If the sound of gunfire is a signal, , do we need to take any action, or should we continue to stay here."
Shi Xiaonian took the milk tea and looked at Luo Lie. Luo Lie was lowering his head and wiping his glasses and said, "Mr. Gong is gone. Water far away cannot heal the fire close. We can only rely on ourselves. Any decision is related to everyone." Life or death.”
Now everyone is a grasshopper on a string.
"Xiao Nian, what do you think?"
Mu Qianchu sat leaning against the back of the sofa, with a tired face on his feminine face.
"Actually, if we want to solve the problem, we still need to find out what's going on." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, "If the sound of cannons really means that Lancaster wants us to get into trouble, then why do they know that we are here? , but don’t know where we are exactly?”
When she finished speaking, there was silence in the living room. Luo Lie froze in his movements of wiping his glasses and said, "That's a good question. I also want to know. Isn't this the place Mr. Gong chose with all his efforts? It's supposed to be foolproof, so how could anyone know about it? ."
"I can't figure this out. In fact, after staying here for so long, we can't reveal any flaws." Mu Qianchu paused, then turned to Shi Xiaonian, "The only thing is Gong Ou's appearance. He couldn't help but Come see you.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
It is impossible for Gong Ou to leave any flaws for others to see.
"This is impossible. Mr. Gong has been traveling between the two sides as Mr. Gong. Even if there is a traitor around Mr. Gong, who would doubt the movements of a robot? This doesn't make sense." Luo Lie told Shi Xiaonian's thoughts.
No one in this world would deliberately stare at a machine.
"Excluding this point, the explanation becomes even more unreasonable. It can only mean that the sound of the cannon was just an accident and has nothing to do with Lancaster." Mu Qianchu said.
Saying this brings us back to the original point, which means that they have not thought of any solution, and that they will just resign themselves to fate.
Shi Xiaonian held the milk tea in her hand. After thinking about it, she put the milk tea on the coffee table, stood up and walked to the bookshelf nearby.
Luo Lie put on his glasses and looked at her doubtfully.
"What's wrong, Xiao Nian?"
Mu Qianchu looked forward with dull eyes and asked aloud.
Shi Xiaonian was rummaging around in the shelf, found a map from it, walked back to the coffee table, spread it out, looked at the two men in front of her and said, "We are in S city."
Hearing this, Luo Lie and Mu Qianchu didn't have much surprise on their faces. Since they knew that Gong Ou could shuttle between both sides, even though they didn't know the specific location, they knew it was in S City, otherwise Gong Ou would not have time to take care of both sides. .
"Is there a possibility that the traitor lurking in Lancaster discovered that Gong Ouhui suddenly disappeared for a while, so he guessed that he must have come to our side." Shi Xiaonian almost knelt in front of the coffee table and said, "When Gong Ou disappears, he disappears all night. The distance that can make him disappear overnight is very wide, so Lancaster can't figure out our specific location."
Hearing that Shi Xiaonian was willing to devote himself to this matter, Mu Qianchu was very pleased and nodded, "It's very possible."
"A one-night round trip is at least within this range if calculated by driving distance." Shi Xiaonian drew a big circle on the map, and she also made a rough estimate.
When Luo Lie approached, Xiao Nian knelt down beside her and understood what she meant, "Mr. Gong usually only comes to our place at night, which means he should come home after he returns home. He disappeared at home."
Mu Qianchu sat there and thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would conduct a blanket search after determining the scope, but City S is not a place in Lancaster after all, so they can only let us mess up. Once we have They will grasp the action as soon as possible so that they can catch you and the child."
Luo Lie looked at the big circle on the map and said, "But this range is too big, and the price they paid is equally high."
"Dr. Luo, if it were you, what would you do?"
Mu Qianchu suddenly asked.
"Needless to say, since the range is a circle, then start from the middle and spread to all sides. This is the most comprehensive way." Luo Lie's eyes suddenly darkened as he spoke, and he pulled the map. Looking at the center of the circle on the map, he solemnly said, "The sound of the cannon we heard was only one, and it wasn't too far away. In other words... we are near the Imperial Castle."
Shi Xiaonian was silent, she had just figured this out.
"Mygod!" Luo Lie spread his hands in disbelief, "Tibetans always try to hide us as far away as possible. Mr. Gong actually hid us near the Imperial Castle. The castle must be a key surveillance area for Lancaster. He is not afraid that we will be captured at any time. Discover?"
He never imagined that the so-called refuge was right next to the Imperial Castle. This fact shocked him.
No one takes refuge like this.
"There is a saying in China, it's dark under the lamp." Mu Qianchu said, every time Gong Ou's layout was completely unexpected, they wouldn't have thought of it, and Lancaster wouldn't have thought of it either.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stared blankly at the map of City S. It turned out that she had always been so close to Gong Ou.
"No wonder Lancaster waited for Gong Ou to leave before taking action. If Gong Ou is not here, a cannon can be used to cover it up with normal military force. Only those of us in the refuge will not know the situation outside, will panic, and will some people want to escape. Luo Lie stood up, "As long as one person appears abnormally around the Imperial Castle, all our secrets will be exposed."
After thinking for a while, Luo Lie said again, "That's not right. As long as Lancaster Aviation inspects it, it can also find something wrong with our buildings here, right?"
"This is the scope of the Imperial Castle. It is impossible for Gong Ou to let others patrol the area above him. Let alone helicopters, I am afraid not even a bird will be allowed to fly over." Mu Qianchu said, so Gong Ou will Choose your own place of refuge.
"Won't the people in the castle find out? How did Mr. Gong arrange it?"
"The answer to this will only be known when we go out." Mu Qianchu said, leaning forward and speaking in a more relaxed tone, "Since we have guessed so much, it seems that it is better to stay put and strengthen the defense. It would be better to waste Lancaster’s efforts to find out what is useless.”
"Then we don't have to do anything?"
Luo Lie asked doubtfully.
"Even if we do it, we can't do it now. Let's look at it. We can't contact the outside world now, so we can only take one step at a time." Shi Xiaonian said, "The defense must be more important."
"That's all we can do. Okay, the problem is solved, I can go back to my room and have a peaceful sleep." Luo Lie said easily.
"Why are you always uneasy?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Mrs. Gong, who can feel at ease if you stay here and can't get out? Look at you..." Luo Lie looked at her and stopped talking, "Forget it, don't say it."
Shi Xiaonian knelt in front of the coffee table, glanced at Mu Qianchu, and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, even if I have a nervous breakdown, I will stay and watch everyone leave here safely before I collapse."
"What nonsense."
Luo Lie glared at her and then left.
Mu Qianchu sat on the sofa, looked in the direction of Shi Xiaonian, and showed a gentle smile, "It's nice to see you like this."
"Everyone will get out of here safely, right?"
Shi Xiaonian asked, standing up from the coffee table to leave.
"Of course." Mu Qianchu nodded, and immediately said when he heard the footsteps of her leaving, "I asked the kitchen to stew fruit soup, do you want to try it?"
When Shi Xiaonian turned around, there was obvious expectation on Mu Qianchu's face. She said lightly, "Okay, let's go together." (To be continued)
