Purifying Mantra Chapter 34: Being broken into the empty door

I don't know where Jixiang is hiding, and I'm a little worried that it will slip through the crack in the door. My ribs hurt. I wonder if it was caused by my heart beating too fast. Could it be that it was trying to escape from my chest? My hand holding the water pipe began to slip with sweat, and there was an iron smell, which was very similar to blood. There was no sign of the intruder in every room, under the bed, in the cabinet, or on the balcony. It seemed that he had already left.

I rushed to the door, locked the door bolt, and turned on all the lights. My strength was instantly taken away. I slumped down on the sofa, Maomao huddled tightly next to my legs, and my body was trembling. Jixiang stepped on the clothes on the floor and poked his head at the door of the room. I stretched out my trembling hand and patted my thigh. It jumped up, rubbed its head against my arm, and purred in its throat as it found a sense of security.

I took out my cell phone and prepared to call the police, but suddenly I thought of the bag of valuables my grandma gave me. I stood up suddenly, staggering and almost tripping over the clothes on the ground. The rattan box my grandma gave me is placed next to the bedside table, but its location has changed somewhat. I opened it and saw that the things inside were messed up, but there was nothing missing. I couldn't help but be stunned. What was this thief doing? Can he not see the jewelry in the satin bag? The valuable beads were just thrown on the satin bag, and they were easily accessible. Even if he wasn't a money-lover, wouldn't he be able to see the ingenious double-sided embroidery?

I glanced at the drawer. Many of the things in the drawer were spilled on the floor, but the liquid funds I kept at home were still there, not a penny less. what's the situation?

What is this thief here for? I turned the house upside down but found nothing. Since nothing is missing, there is no need to call the police to save yourself trouble.

Through the window I heard a commotion downstairs, the kind of commotion that could only be heard in my shop. I quickly locked the door and rushed down with the water pipe.

The locks in the store were also broken, and everything was rummaged around. There were also a lot of things, including the two hundred yuan that Shan Yu put on the table before leaving.

Who is it? What is he looking for? I had a headache and called the waiter. This guy was very loyal. He heard that there was a thief in the store and came to help me look after the store within fifteen minutes. The lock repair company's business card said it had 24-hour door-to-door service, but no one answered the phone after calling me. I had to call someone to repair it tomorrow morning. After settling my mistress, I hurried home to tidy up the house, then collapsed on the sofa and waited for dawn.

I have never been so scared as I am now. I feel helpless and overwhelmed, and I always feel like I am being watched. I thought about the person who was as lonely and helpless as me. I didn’t know if he was sleeping now, so I sent him a message with trembling fingers: My house was flooded.

The phone rang almost immediately. I jumped up from the sofa and answered the phone: "Hello?" My voice was tired and hoarse, like a terminally ill old man.

"When I went to the hospital today, my house was broken into, but nothing was lost. What about you? Did you find anything missing?" Zhao Shuang's tone was calm, as if being broken into was not a big deal, and I gradually calmed down. .

"No, the jewelry that grandma gave me is still under the table, and there is not a penny of cash in the drawer. The bead from grandma is still there..." I poured myself a glass of water and took a big sip. , instantly returning to calmness.

"Where's the jade lock? Is it still there?" When Zhao Shuang asked, I was stunned, as if something was wrong since I found this thing. Maomao was lying at my feet. I glanced at its neck, and my heart twitched. The jade lock was not there. I reached over and touched it. It turned out that the jade lock was still hanging there safely, but Maomao's hair was longer. , just completely covered.

"It's okay, he's still here. Do you think the thief is here to find the jade lock?" Maomao looked up at me, leaned forward, and put his head on my feet. Usually he is not so clingy, but today I was really frightened.

"I don't know, but it feels weird. The important parts of the information I got back from Huaishu Cave can't be connected. I wonder if someone has been to the cave and took away part of it." Zhao Shuang stopped. For a moment, I wasn't interested in those shabby information at all, but I immediately thought that Uncle Qiming's broken arm must be related to this matter.

"Have you contacted Huang Xiao?" Zhao Shuang asked.

"Ah?" What's wrong with people today? They're all fucking jumping around. "without……"

"Don't tell him in advance like this. Once he contacts you, tell me immediately, okay?"

"Didn't you suspect that Huang Xiao had gone down into a tree hole before? He..." My mind was a little confused. I picked at the pants on my thighs and found a hole in them.

"I just said that he has been to the tree cave, but I am sure that he has never been on the bridge, let alone entered the mine." I don't know what basis Zhao Shuang has, but Huang Xiao's strangeness hurts me. That kind of distance The feeling transcends time and place. But a brother is a brother. He would risk his life to save me. I should keep this in my heart. "I don't like to guess like this. Why don't I ask him if there is anything that shouldn't be revealed between brothers."

Zhao Shuang took a long breath through his nose: "You picked on him more than once. Did he give you a chance to ask questions? I think you'd better not act rashly. When he is willing to tell you, he will naturally go to you. "

"Yeah!" What Zhao Shuang said made me a little uncomfortable, but it made sense.

"Tell me about your love?" Zhao Shuang suddenly changed the subject in a teasing tone.

"If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it." I scratched my head, "Forget it, I haven't even got a point in my horoscope yet. I'll tell you later."

"Okay! You should rest early!" Zhao Shuang hesitated for a moment before saying "Goodbye!"

"Well! You should go to bed early! Bye." In fact, I knew that he still had many things he wanted to discuss and explain, but that would only make my newly calm mood full of panic again, so he avoided it gently.

After hanging up the phone, I tried not to think about the flood at home. I lay on the sofa holding Ji Xiang and fell into another deep thought. Shan Yu, the first time I met her, I would inadvertently tell her my true feelings. And Zhao Shuang, a brother I haven't seen for many years, has a perfect understanding when we meet again. He can tell what the other person is thinking about many things with just one look. I am really a lucky person. Every time I reach an intersection, the right person will come towards me and lead me the way. However, I have to seize the opportunity and not let the right person pass me by.

Um! I'll fix the lock tomorrow morning and go find Shan Yu. We'll meet her before she leaves to deepen her impression of me.

Thinking about it, I dozed off on the sofa, and when I woke up again I was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Xiao Si made an appointment with a lock repair company early in the morning. He was very smart and asked the workers to come to the house to repair the lock first. I called to express my gratitude for this.

I chose the most expensive lock to install, and it took me an hour to install it. She rushed to the store with someone from the lock repair company. Unexpectedly, Shan Yu was already in the store. She held the puppy from yesterday on the treatment table at the door and stroked it.

"Why are you here?" I greeted him happily.

"Come and deliver this!" Shan Yu opened the paper in his hand, and when I saw it, it was the revelation she had already printed. "However, I still have to trouble you to take photos."

"Early in the morning, where did you print it?" I took the message from Shan Yu and looked at it carefully. The sentences were smooth, concise and clear. Xiao Si also came over and arranged for the people from the lock repair company to work.

"There is a business center in the hotel. What's wrong with you here?" Shan Yu asked, looking at the door. Hearing her ask this, I secretly reminded myself that Xiaosi was about to receive another praise and award.

"It's nothing. The lock was broken when I opened the door in the morning. I need someone to fix it. Have you had breakfast? There is a unique breakfast restaurant nearby. Let me take you to try it?" I lied to cover up my encounter. trouble, and his tone seemed a little flustered.

Shan Yu hesitated for a moment, then raised a sweet smile: "How can I be so embarrassed to trouble you all the time."

"I am willing..." I deliberately dragged out a long voice, "I will do whatever is appropriate for the landlord."

Xiaosi rolled his eyes on one side. Unfortunately, I saw him. I patted his shoulder: "I will bring you breakfast, so you don't have to call me."

"That's pretty much it." Xiaosi said, shaking his head. I patted him gently on the back of the head, then raised my hand and led Shan Yu away.
