Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 22 Good Night

  Everyone refused the invitation of the boss and his wife to have a big meal.

  It was late at night, and everyone was still gathering in the Taoist’s room. After a day of hard work, everyone was very tired.

   "So we are like a waste of busy today, aren't we?"

   Xiaoyin's eyes almost can't be opened, but she still insists on eating biscuits, her left hand is under her chin, and her face is disappointed and weak.

  Xiaolan ate the potato chips very happily. She thought, maybe because she didn’t do anything, she was not as tired as everyone else.

"It's not completely unrewarded," the Taoist chief lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup. "It's not that everyone has a secret way. At least it shows that we have a basis for suspicion. The boss does know something, but just refuses to tell us. "

"Actually, some things can be analyzed from the status of this hole." Maple syrup was uncommonly sober again, sitting behind the pineapple frowning, "You said the stuff filling the hole is messy, ranging from rocks to small ceramic fragments. , And pots and pans have also been stuffed to fill holes... This kind of hole filling method itself is rare..."

  Maple syrup pinched up the dark road photo taken by the leader.

"From the photo, the space hidden behind the four-story bricks is a regular square space. It has obviously been meticulously carved. It was not taken by the owner with a shovel. So we can boldly assume that this dark road originally has Importantly, if it is a secret road, then it must lead to an important place, if it is a secret room, there must have been important people hidden in it."

  Maple syrup touched his chin, and took the photo to observe carefully.

"The materials used to fill the holes include not only the rocks that can be easily obtained from the back of the hotel, but also the pots and pans, which are also the most common things in the restaurant. The owner's family uses the most common materials for themselves to fill the holes instead of Regardless of whether the material is suitable or not, this method gives people a strange feeling, as if the method of filling the hole is a temporary intention, and I just took the things around me and filled the hole to death."

   Xiaolan was shocked. Today’s maple syrup is really impressive. What is the origin of this maple syrup?

  Maple Sugar finished what she wanted to say, and moved her face to the pineapple to look for praise.

  Pineapple's anger in the afternoon has not subsided, and she is still at the stage of not wanting to pay attention to him, and pushed the maple syrup back.

  Maple syrup touched her nose, but didn't give up, she quietly moved to the right side of the pineapple, turned her face to look at the angry face of her girlfriend for a while, grabbed the pineapple and put her hand on her crossed leg.

  Pineapple wanted to withdraw her hand, worked hard a few times, curled her eyebrows and looked at Maple Sugar, who was laughing facelessly and didn't let go of her hand.

  Pineapple finally smiled, and gave the maple syrup a light punch with his other hand.

   Xiaolan wrinkled his face and watched all this, pressing the Qingming acupoint painfully.

  I'm so young, let me bear this, who can bear it.

   Xiaolan looked away and looked at the little idiot. The little idiot understood.

   "Just get used to it. What's the solution? My gakki and I are usually so sweet anyway."

  You touch your conscience and tell me again?

"what's happenin?"

   Dao Master looked at the two people who reacted strangely, with a strange expression. For the first time, Xiaolan felt that Dao Master also had an innocent and lovely side.

   Xiaoyin was nearly unconscious, and collapsed on the bed with her eyes closed, but she was still chewing in her mouth.

   Indeed, it is too late.

   "Master Dao, Xiaoyin is about to die," Xiaolan looked at Dao Master innocently, "Otherwise, let's discuss it here first."

  The chief Taoist stared at Xiaolan for a few seconds, nodded, smiled, and looked in a good mood.

   "Everyone will climb the mountain tomorrow. Go back and rest today." The Taoist raised his voice a little, "Fool, take the little voice back to their room. If something happens tomorrow, we will discuss it together."

  Everyone left lazily. Xiaolan had a lot of doubts about morale, but thinking of the tacit understanding shown by everyone in today's event, she felt that there was nothing to worry about.

  Xiaolan followed the little idiot who carried Xiaoyin out of the Taoist’s room, and just saw the Taoist standing behind him when she turned around and closed the door.

   Xiaolan raised her head and looked at the Taoist chief ignorantly.

  Dao Chang’s smile is still on his face, and the corner of his eyes is also smiling.

   "Xiaolan, good night."

  A strange feeling emerged in Xiaolan's heart, a feeling that he hadn't experienced before, but a somewhat familiar feeling.

   "Good night, the Chief Minister, too."

Daochang stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaolan's hair.

   Xiaolan followed in the footsteps of the little fool, did not look back, but could feel the Taoist master watching him from behind.

  Don’t know why, her nose suddenly sore, Xiaolan shook her head a few times and returned to normal.

  ——————————

  The morning light casts into the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the mountain view outside the window is as peaceful and quiet as ever.

  Xiao Mi lay on the back door lazily basking in the sun, half-opened her eyes, and saw a person walking towards her from a distance.

  A stupid biped is coming to pet me again, Meow.

  Xiao Mi stretched and saw the person in front of her clearly.

   "Mi, good morning!"

  A pair of sinful hands stretched out to him.

  Mi’s hair is all up. Isn’t this the person who caught herself yesterday? !

  Although I am expensive as a four-legged animal, I still have to hide my abilities when I am helpless. It is not too late for a gentleman to avenge my life. The first battle yesterday hurt my vitality. Today I will retreat tactically...

  Xiao Mi jumped away with her tail sandwiched between her tail, and stared at Xiaoyin before she left.

   "Hey, did the cat just stared at me?" Xiaoyin wondered.

  The little fool also went downstairs and walked into the restaurant, looking at the little voice playing with the cat.

   "Think about what you did to it, it's light to stare at you."

  Everyone went downstairs to have breakfast one after another. Today we are going up the mountain. The good weather made everyone feel relaxed.

"Is your body okay?" After the cat hunt, the proprietress's favorability for several people soared. When she saw the pineapple and maple syrup walk down, she said with enthusiasm, "Don't you need to rest for a few days? I have to go up the mountain today. "

   "I'm fine, big sister," Pineapple smiled and put the backpack on the chair, "I was so sorry yesterday."

   "Oh, I'm sick, why are you sorry."

  The lady boss brought everyone’s breakfast to the table. Today’s breakfast was obviously richer than the day before, and both Xiaoyin and Xiaolan’s eyes lit up.

"You climb the mountain today. Eat more. I will invite you as the eldest sister today." The lady boss smiled, "I will let my old open car take you there later. There is a mountain road into the village. Recently, people from Lianshui Village go up and down the mountain. Everyone walks that way, outsiders don’t know..."

  The lady boss received a lot of fare because of yesterday's extra fare, and Xiao Mi, who had recovered from the loss, completely regarded them as her own.

"The weather is good today and it is suitable for mountain climbing. You can take these foods with you if you can't finish them." The lady boss sat down with a hint of worry in her eyes, "Go into Lianshui Village and bring your own food. The villagers are not good. They won’t give food to outsiders, those instant noodles are useless, and even hot water is not necessarily given to you..."

  The pineapple nodded, "We buy it ourselves, and don’t ask them."

   "Buy some bread and biscuits yourself, bring eggs and pies, and this beef. Save my husband's phone number. If you want to go down the mountain, just call him and he will pick you up."

   Xiaolan ate and listened, and quickly interjected, "Sister, this egg is so delicious!"

   "Really!" The lady boss smiled her eyes narrowed into two slits, and looked at Xiaolan lovingly, "Eat as much as you like, and bring some when you leave... The little girl is so cute... I..."

  The lady boss said, but the smile on her face disappeared, and she let out a sigh.

   Xiaolan wondered how to boast half of it without boasting, and looked at the proprietress in confusion.

   "What's the matter, big sister."

  The lady boss stared at Xiaolan and smiled reluctantly.

   "If my daughter is fine, now you are the same age, she should be the same as you, happy, eating and drinking."

  The boss’s wife’s voice was soft, and that sentence seemed to float out of her mouth, floating into the ears of several people with her weakness and sorrow.
