Qian Ai woke up in the faint smell of oranges.
As soon as I woke up, the smell was gone, and there was only the hazy night wind that made people's noses itch.
He sat up, sneezed, and was stunned when he looked around.
He was still in the front yard, in front of the hanging flower door that was within reach but the door was closed. Obviously, no one had moved him from fainting to waking up.
But the yard behind him was clean and tidy.
Lao Zhang, Lao Peng, the mess of fighting all over the place, all disappeared, and the entire outer courtyard was as if nothing had happened. The chessboard is still at the door, but no one is playing.
He looked down at his calf again, and the trousers were still being pulled to his knees, but the weird baby frog was no longer there, and there was no sign of injury to his calf.
There was no way to say whether the situation was good or bad, Qian Ai only felt a chill in his heart.
His eyes fell on the hanging flower door again, Qian Ai tried to pat the door panel twice, and called out the names of his teammates with a volume that was not too loud but enough for the opposite side to hear: "Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Xiao Kuang..."
The voice was scattered in the night wind, and there was no response from the door.
Qian Ai patted the door panel's hand, slid down despondently, sat there in a daze for two minutes, and finally returned to the cage with a sonorous reassurance before falling into a coma—
[Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to join you.]
These words, like a transport plane, injected new power into Qian Ai's dazed mind.
He rarely has such a manly moment, why he dared to be so determined at that moment, I have no impression, but since he said it, he will do it!
Qian Aiteng stood up immediately and toured the entire front yard as quickly as possible.
The situation in the living room is the same as in the courtyard, except that the fish tank in the corner is gone, and there are four cups of tea on the table, everything else is the same. The sofa didn't move, the floor didn't fold, and there wasn't any water or frogs on the ground.
He couldn't explain the weird situation, but at least those who might attack him were really gone.
After confirming that there was no risk of being attacked, Qian Ai returned to the front of the Chuihuamen and concentrated on breaking the door!
Body Bump!
On stationery!
Climb the wall!
He used all the tricks he could think of, the door stood still, and the top of the wall was blocked by a transparent film that couldn't break through.
Qian Ai was sweating profusely and panting, but he never thought about giving up.
Owl said there was only one chance.
He doesn't believe in evil.
A hundred-yuan bill can be thrown away as a hidden weapon, he is no longer Qian Ai!
Uh, wait.
Taking advantage of the stall to adjust his breathing, Qian Ai suddenly moved towards the ground not far away and waved his arm vigorously: "Ha!"
The money dart came out in response, and the sharp corner was directly embedded in the crack of the brick in the courtyard, and then it fell softly to the ground.
Qian Ai's whole face lit up, da da da ran over, took out the large bills from the cracks in the floor, and happily put them in his pockets.
A guess.
The banknotes turned into cigarettes.
Qian Ai: "… "
Well, he was just doing an experiment, and it really didn't work.
"Get rich overnight" failed, and Qian Ai continued to ponder the "road of convergence".
Suddenly, the picture of the money dart embedded in the crack of the floor tile flashed in my mind.
If you can't break the door or climb over the wall, it means you can't get through on the ground or in the sky. Why don't you give it a try... Underground
Yes, underground!
Qian Ai set off immediately, looking for tools that could dig three feet in the ground. The money dart will be soft as soon as it hits the ground, and it will be no fun. It must be a hard-core tool that can really dig soil!
Unexpectedly, after looking for it for a long time, in a huge front yard, there is no shovel or shovel, even a cooking shovel! At the end, I turned to a broom and a plastic dustpan.
Qian Ai looked at the dustpan that looked like a shovel, and his heart sank. He took it and shoveled it under the hanging flower door!
As soon as the dustpan went down, the floor tiles did not move, and the plastic dustpan almost cracked.
"You embroidered pillow!"
After scolding innocent tools righteously in her heart, Qian Ai stood up, bathed in a thin peripheral vision, looked at the dustpan on the ground, and fell into contemplation.
After two minutes.
The dustpan receives the prompt - if it can hear it.
[Owl: Someone used on you~~]
Qian Ai squatted down again, picked up the reborn dustpan, and shoveled and pryed at the cracks of the floor tiles under the door panel. Slam, a floor tile rose, revealing the dark black soil below!
Qian Ai was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he swung the dustpan and digged up.
…
In the inner house, in the withered and yellowed garden veranda, a young man appeared.
At that time, Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Kuang Jinxin were leaning on the door and panting. They couldn't make up their mind for a while, whether to move on, or to find a way to get back Qian Ai, who was separated by the door. They didn't even know the money. Is Ai still in the front yard
Just when his mind was in such a mess, the young man appeared and walked along the veranda to the inner part of the house, only allowing them to capture a looming back.
The three partners discovered him at the same time, and it seemed that some inexplicable intuition led them to look in that direction.
Wu Sheng was the first to get up, Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin followed, and the three of them pushed aside the withered flowers and plants at the fastest speed, jumped from the railing into the veranda, and chased after them.
Wu Sheng flew the fastest on the grass, and was the first to say, "Please wait a moment—"
They were ready for each other to run away. Unexpectedly, the back stopped when he heard the sound, turned around naturally, and looked at them suspiciously.
The three partners were stunned.
It was a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy with a tall stature, handsome facial features, and a sassy equestrian outfit. Although he is not yet fully grown, he is a little thin, and his eyes are full of youthful air, but there is a hint of fortitude between his brows, which makes him have no doubt that he will have a double success in the future.
"Is something wrong?" The boy took off his equestrian helmet and stared at the three with bright eyes.
Although he was ten years younger all of a sudden, his voice was less magnetic and more youthful, but the facial features of his eyebrows and eyes were instantly matched with the memory banks of his friends...
"Chi Zhuolin?" Xu Wang felt that he was absurd when he called out the name, but he was right in front of him. Then there was a copy-paste bastard.
The boy smiled curiously: "You know me?"
"I know..." After Xu Wang finished speaking, he shook his head in a trance, "but it's not you..."
There were doubts in the eyes of the young Chi Zhuolin, obviously not understanding at all.
"We know Chi Yingxue." Kuang Jinxin said, "We're here to find him."
"You know my brother?" The young Chi Zhuolin was surprised at first, and then a happy glow appeared on his face, "My brother told you about me?!"
Kuang Jinxin was taken aback, but he didn't expect the other party to react this way.
Xu Wang was also surprised. This person didn't question their identities, but was very happy because of such trivial things as "being mentioned by his younger brother"
"Well, yes, I said it." Kuang Jinxin had no choice but to continue.
The young Chi Zhuolin immediately asked, "What did you say? What did you say?"
Kuang Jinxin got stuck and glanced at his captain as if asking for help.
Xu Wang hurriedly said, "Let's just say he has an older brother named Chi Zhuolin, uh... he's very good!"
Chi Zhuolin burst out laughing: "You don't have to help him cover it up, you definitely haven't said anything nice about me."
"..." For providing food, housing, and the president's cover, and also confessing that he was disgusted, Xu Wang felt a little sympathetic to this brother, and when he thought of his brother's resignation, it was even more sad.
It's just... Why is my brother only a teenager in Chi Yingxue's world
How big is Chi Yingxue
If you want to match the Chi Zhuolin in front of you, Chi Yingxue is at most ten years old, but they showed Chen Ao's photo of an adult Chi Yingxue, and Chen Ao didn't raise any doubts...
A bunch of question marks flickered in the heads of the little friends, and Chi Zhuolin spoke again: "You just said you were here to find my brother?"
"Yes." Xu Wang nodded immediately.
Chi Zhuolin tucked his helmet under his arm, smiling innocently and unpreparedly: "It happens that I am going to find him too, and I will show you the way."
Xu Wang exchanged glances with Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin. Sure enough, everyone was a little clueless, and they always felt that things would not go so smoothly.
Moreover, Chi Zhuolin, who has only one relationship, in their impression, is a mature man who does things decently and has his own extravagance. Suddenly from Lafite red wine to biscuits, it is so sweet that it is really difficult for people. Practical.
Like this withered garden, he has a hazy weirdness.
Before the friends could answer, Chi Zhuolin walked forward.
The three of them were anxious, to follow or not to follow? If they don't follow, maybe this is their only chance to find Chi Yingxue! Come on, Qian Ai is still outside the door!
Seeing that Chi Zhuo Linyue went further and further, the three partners gritted their teeth and followed!
The task is to find Chi Yingxue, not everyone finds Chi Yingxue together, so as long as every little friend is in the level, even if there is only one person who finally finds Chi Yingxue, the whole team will submit the papers together.
Old money, hold on!
The three who thought that their teammates were still fighting fiercely outside the door, while cheering up Classmate Qian in their hearts, followed Chi Zhuolin's pace closely.
"I haven't had any friends come over to look for him, hum, secretly made friends and didn't tell me..."
It can be seen that Chi Zhuolin is in a good mood. He walked in front of the three of them and went all the way to the depths of the veranda. He walked briskly and kept talking. He kept talking about his younger brother. drowning.
"But it's good to make friends," he suddenly turned around and smiled gratefully at the three of them, "I usually live in school, and it's rare to go home once, and I have to be arranged to learn this, learn that, socialize this, participate in that, think about it. I don't have time to play with him for a while..."
In a few simple words, a life that has been cultivated in the direction of successors since childhood has just begun to take shape.
Xu Wang knew that most of these families would send their children to private elite schools, and closed boarding systems were also common, but the elder brother studied like this, doesn't the younger brother use it? Even if he is not trained as a successor, it cannot be said that one is an elite education, and one is free to play with him.
Listening to Chi Zhuolin's tone, "playing" seems to be the main business of his younger brother...
"He's not in good health, he hasn't gone to school, he always invites people to teach at home." Chi Zhuolin looked at Xu Wang and smiled.
Xu Wang was horrified, could he hear what he was thinking? !
Wu Sheng and Kuang Jinxin didn't know why, they just felt that Chi Zhuolin suddenly said this sentence, which was very abrupt.
But if you put aside the inexplicability of the context and just look at the sentence itself, Chi Yingxue is not in good health? Haven't been to school? So here, how old is he now...
"Ten years old." Chi Zhuolin said naturally.
Wu Sheng: "..."
Kuang Jinxin: "..."
The two of them now know what the surprise in Xu Wang's eyes just now was - Chi Zhuolin could hear their hearts.
And just now, Chi Zhuolin revealed the second piece of information - Chi Yingxue is only ten years old.
messed up.
If Chi Zhuolin can really hear their voices, then they should know that they are on a mission, why are they unresponsive? And if Chi Yingxue is really only ten years old, then Sister Chen recognizes it after seeing the photo...
Wu Sheng rubbed his temples and exhaled with difficulty.
This world has no rules, and all attempts to sort out logic will be shattered without warning in the next moment.
The veranda is very long, as if it will never end. I don't know when, fog has formed, and the already dim house is obscured even more.
As he was walking, Xu Wang suddenly turned his head and startled Kuang Jinxin behind him: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's fine." Xu Wang looked around, shook his head, and turned his head back.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there were eyes staring at them in an unknown dark place behind him.
A cool breeze passed through the veranda, and Kuang Jinxin suddenly smelled a sweet smell, and subconsciously muttered: "Orange?"
