Chapter 1119 Hidden Mystery (Two Chapters in One)
In the living room of Room 603, Building 3, Ping'an Garden Community, Zhou Tongtong was sitting on the sofa, her calves hanging in the air, watching the TV with concentration. Cartoon currently playing.
Not far from the sofa, the little white cat and the little black cat were squatting.
At this moment, like Zhou Tongtong, they were watching the cartoons being played on TV very seriously.
The three little guys were very involved. When the cartoon ended, they came back to their senses.
"Is it over so soon?" Zhou Tongtong still had more to say.
"Meow...Zhou Tongtong, it's getting late." said the little white cat.
"Meow... time flies so fast, the sun has already set." said the little black cat.
"Boom..." A thunderous explosion startled the three little guys.
“This thunder is so scary.” Zhou Tongtong raised her hand and patted her chest, saying with lingering fear.
"Meow..." The little white cat and the little black cat recovered quickly, and the panic in their hearts disappeared.
Zhou Tongtong left the living room and came to the balcony to look at the sky in the distance.
There was not much thunder when it rained just now, but now the dark clouds are filled with lightning and thunder, and the sound of thunder continues.
The little white cat and the little black cat followed Zhou Tongtong. They felt the cold wind blowing in their faces and spoke.
"Meow...Zhou Tongtong, it's very windy outside now, you'd better go back inside!"
"Meow...it's a bit cold! You don't have many clothes on, don't catch a cold."
After being reminded by the two little wild cats, Zhou Tongtong, who came to the balcony, returned indoors.
"Gululu..."
It's time to eat now, and Zhou Tongtong is a little hungry.
Xia Qing went out to do errands in the afternoon and has not come back yet. Zhou Tongtong can only eat some snacks and fruits to cushion her stomach.
"Would you like some bananas?" Zhou Tongtong peeled a banana and took a bite, then asked the little white cat and the little black cat.
The two little guys were also hungry now. When they heard Zhou Tongtong's question, they nodded immediately.
Then they quickly ran to the restaurant and came back with a small iron basin in their mouths.
Zhou Tongtong broke the banana into several sections and put them in a small iron basin.
The little white cat and the little black cat ate the bananas with relish. Zhou Tongtong saw that they ate sweetly, and their round faces were full of happy smiles.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder is getting louder and louder.
Fortunately, some high-rise buildings in the city are now equipped with lightning rods, otherwise many people’s electrical appliances would suffer at this time.
"Drip bell bell..."
Zhou Tongtong, who was eating fruit, suddenly heard a crisp ringing sound.
She immediately got off the sofa and ran into her bedroom.
The mobile phone placed on the desk was ringing. Zhou Tongtong took the mobile phone and saw the caller ID displayed on the screen, then stretched out her slender fingers to touch the screen.
"Mom, when will you come back?"
"I'm buying food at the vegetable market now, and I'll be home in a while. Is there anything you want to eat?"
< br>Zhou Tongtong's round eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then said to Xia Qing.
“Mom, I want to eat roast duck.”
"Okay, I'll buy you a roast duck and take it back..." Xia Qing said with a smile.
She chatted with her daughter for a few words. After ending the call, she walked to the shop selling roast duck in the vegetable market.
“Beauty, what do you want?” The owner of the roast duck restaurant is an aunt in her fifties. She saw the customers coming and asked enthusiastically.
"Bring me a roast duck... I want this one... The duck meat should be chopped smaller, not too big." Xia Qing chose a roast duck and made some requests.
When she bought the roast duck for her daughter, she walked to the vegetable stall next to it.
Not long after, Xia Qing came out of the vegetable market after shopping. After putting on her raincoat, she rode a black electric bike back to the community.
In the living room, Zhou Tongtong and two little wild cats had eaten some fruits and snacks. They were not hungry at the moment.
The little white cat and the little black cat were lying on the floor, squinting their eyes and taking a nap.
It’s raining heavily outside now, and they decided to stay overnight at Zhou Tongtong’s house.
On the sofa, Zhou Tongtong took a nap with her eyes closed and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Buzz."
Psychic energy fluctuations suddenly emerged.
I saw a spiritual light suddenly appear between Zhou Tongtong's eyebrows, and a golden mark swaying like a flame was looming.
The spiritual energy floating in the air quickly rushed into the living room. Within a few minutes, the concentration of spiritual energy in the living room doubled.
Zhou Tongtong, the little white cat, and the little black cat didn't notice any abnormalities. At this moment, they just felt very comfortable.
"Click."
There was a sound at the entrance. Xia Qing opened the door. The three little guys in the living room woke up immediately when they heard the sound of the door opening.
The abnormality on Zhou Tongtong disappeared. She raised her little hand and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. When she opened her eyes, Xia Qing appeared in front of her.
"Mom, you are back!"
Xia Qing smiled, and then greeted Zhou Tongtong and the two little wild cats to eat roast duck.
"Crash..."
There was a sound of water running in the kitchen, and the gentle Xia Qing was wearing an apron, washing vegetables, and preparing a sumptuous dinner.
In the restaurant, Zhou Tongtong was sitting on a chair, holding a fragrant roast duck leg in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil.
"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, is the roast duck mom bought delicious?"
"Meow...it's delicious." The little white cat and the little black cat heard Zhou Tongtong's question. , swallowed the roast duck meat in their mouths, and nodded one after another.
"Tongtong, did you see Lin Li come back this afternoon?" Xia Qing asked her daughter casually after washing the vegetables and preparing to cut the meat.
"I didn't see Brother Lin Li in the afternoon, he probably didn't come back." Zhou Tongtong swallowed the roast duck meat in his mouth and replied.
"Oh." Xia Qing nodded, and she was going to make potato stew and beef.
If Lin Li was at home, she planned to make more and give him a portion.
"Mom, I will knock on Lin Li's brother's door later to see if he is at home."
"Yeah."
Zhou Tongtong quickly finished the roast duck leg in her hand, and then she went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
After coming out of the house, she came to the door of Lin Li's house, stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and pressed the doorbell on the wall.
The doorbell rang indoors, and Zhou Tongtong standing outside the door could hear it.
After waiting for more than a minute, no one came to open the door, so Zhou Tongtong stood on tiptoe and pressed the doorbell again.
Pressing the doorbell for the second time, no one came to open the door. At this moment, Zhou Tongtong was sure that Lin Li was not at home.
Afterwards, she returned home and ran to the kitchen to report to Xia Qing, who was cutting meat.
…………
In the resort, it is raining heavily outside and it is not suitable to go out.
Many tourists choose to order takeout and have the food prepared by the restaurant in the resort delivered directly to their door.
Lin Li and Su Yue ordered takeout, and it didn't take long for the takeout to be delivered to the door.
They ordered a total of eight dishes and one soup. One dish was missing compared to lunch, but the overall portion was much larger than at lunch.
In the restaurant, Lin Li devoured his dinner. Su Yue was not hungry. After eating a little something, she felt full. At the moment, she was helping Lin Li peel shrimps.
"I hope this rain will end soon, otherwise we won't have time to play." Su Yue said as she placed a small bowl of peeled shrimps in front of Lin Li.
"Check the weather forecast and see what it says. Maybe it will stop raining in the middle of the night..." Lin Li swallowed the food in his mouth and said to the sad Su Yue.
"The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, and the accuracy of weather forecast is very low, so it is of little reference value." Having said that, Su Yue still picked up her phone and took a look at the weather forecast.
"How is it?" Lin Li asked with a smile when he saw a hint of joy on Su Yue's face.
"Lin Li, the weather forecast says that this rain will last for another four to five hours at most." Su Yuemuan happily turned her phone screen towards Lin Li, sharing her joy.
"You! You said that the weather forecast was of no reference, but now you are so happy." Lin Li smiled and shook his head.
"Hehe..." Su Yue smiled but said nothing, praying secretly in her heart that the weather changes shown in the weather forecast must be accurate.
After dinner, Lin Li burped. At this time, he discovered that the side effects of eating the superpower fruit were further weakened.
"It won't take long before I can resume my normal appetite."
Su Yue cleared the table and Lin Li stood up to help. The two of them packed up the dining room and then came to sit on the sofa in the living room. Next rest.
“Let’s play games!” Lin Li mentioned.
"Okay!" Su Yue raised the corners of her mouth and responded with a smile.
The original plan was interrupted by the sudden rain. At this moment, the two of them could only stay in the room and play games.
…………
“Huh…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
The sound of wind and rain intertwined with each other, floating around the resort.
It didn’t rain in the resort in the past, and it was the busiest time at night.
There was no one on the road at this moment. Even the patrolling security guard stayed in the security booth because of the rain.
“Dong dong dong.”
There was a knock on the door in the quiet office.
Qin He, who was reading documents, heard a knock on the door and shouted to the person outside the door without raising his head.
“Come in.”
The door of the office was pushed open, and the voluptuous Jiang Shiyin walked into the room.
She walked to the desk on catwalks and placed a sorted document in her hand on the table.
"Boss, I have sorted out the documents you need..."
"Yes." Qin He responded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is what I should do." Jiang Shiyin raised her hand to tidy up the hanging hair beside her ears, and said very humbly.
"It's time to get off work. You can get off work. You don't have to stay here with me."
"It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do after get off work anyway."
"I'm going to stay late. You've been busy all day today. Go back and rest early." Qin He raised his head and looked at his secretary.
After hearing these words, Jiang Shiyin was thoughtful and no longer insisted on staying.
After Qin He waited for the secretary to leave, he put down the documents in his hands, raised his hand and tugged on his collar, muttering to himself.
"Sometimes such a diligent secretary makes me embarrassed..."
Jiang Shiyin packed her things and left the office. She did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but went to a hotel not far away. Elegantly decorated cafe.
“Secretary Jiang, what kind of coffee do you want to drink today?”
The employees at the cafe knew Jiang Shiyin, and when they saw her coming into the store, they asked with a smile.
“Same as yesterday.” Jiang Shiyin smiled, then came to the coffee shop and sat down at a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Not long after, the cafe staff came to Jiang Shiyin’s table with a cup of steaming coffee and a piece of exquisite cake.
“I didn’t order the cake.”
“It’s for you.”
"I'm so embarrassed!"
"Don't be so polite, it's just a piece of cake..."
It's a rainy day and there are not many customers in the cafe. Jiang Shiyin chatted with the other party for a while. sentence, and then the other person leaves to do other things.
The street lights emit dim yellow light, and some plants in the green belt are holding on tenaciously during this stormy time.
Jiang Shiyin took a sip of coffee and looked at the office in the distance from time to time.
When she drank half a cup of coffee, a familiar figure appeared in the distance.
Qin He walked out of the office holding an umbrella. Just now he told Jiang Shiyin that he would stay for a long time, but he left not long after that.
Fortunately, the wind is not very strong now, otherwise Qin He would not be able to shelter from the wind and rain with just an umbrella.
After he came out of the office, he walked towards a remote part of the resort. The dim light from the street lamp fell on Qin He, reflecting a dark shadow on the ground.
The moment Jiang Shiyin saw Qin He appear, she immediately stood up to pay.
When she came out of the cafe, she did not hold an umbrella to follow Qin He who left, but walked to the dark corner next to the cafe.
"Huh..."
The big tree was swayed by the wind, and some leaves fell from the branches.
A few leaves flew to the corner, and Jiang Shiyin disappeared without a trace.
…………
"Tap, step, step..."
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded on the quiet path. The sound spread around and was soon drowned by the sound of wind and rain.
Qin He held an umbrella and walked alone on the path.
Where he is now is no longer within the resort.
Few tourists will appear here during the day, let alone at night, and it is still a bad weather with wind and rain.
Suddenly, the grass in the distance shook a few times.
Qin He noticed something unusual and immediately stopped, then looked at the grass that was shaking a few times in the distance with a burning gaze.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak...”
A huge field mouse came out of the grass. When he saw Qin He, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran away to the side, Taozhi Yaoyao .
“It turned out to be a vole.” Qin He muttered to himself as he looked in the direction in which the vole was escaping.
The sharp gaze disappeared, and the serious expression on his face softened a lot.
This episode ended, Qin He continued to walk forward holding an umbrella.
Not all places have street lights, not to mention that the place where Qin He is now is not within the scope of the resort.
It was pitch dark all around, I couldn’t see my fingers, and I couldn’t even see the road under my feet.
Faced with such bad environment and road conditions, Qin He still insisted on moving forward.
After a while, he came to the foot of a hill and finally stopped.
Standing in place for more than a minute, Qin He used his mental perception to explore the surroundings.
After making sure that no one was following him, he continued to move forward with confidence.
This time, Qin He didn’t go far before he stopped again.
He reached out and pushed aside some weeds in front of him. A dark cave appeared in front of him, and he walked in.
