Chapter 19, Logo
The stars and the moon passed, and it was another night.
The sun peeked slightly, and Uncle De pushed the cart with milk and sandwiches to the door of Eagle Ya's room and knocked softly.
However, there was no expected answer from behind the thick wooden door.
"It's not a good habit to lie in bed, Young Master Eagle Ya!"
After knocking on the door several times, the old butler couldn't help but push open the wooden door with force, and said helplessly.
However, in the next second, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The expected scene of the man lazily lying on the messy bed did not appear, on the contrary, the bedding on the bed was very clean, neatly stacked together, as if it was brand new, and there was no sign of sleeping.
"Young Master Eagle Arrow?"
Uncle De glanced around the room slightly, couldn't help frowning, and then walked out of the room and pushed the dining cart to the study.
The study of the Yuchai family can be said to be the most atmospheric place in the entire manor.
The expansive circular room, fronted by a dozen floor-to-ceiling windows enclosed in a semicircle, provides a good view of the study. Not far from these floor-to-ceiling windows is a long table and a delicate chair. Sitting on the chair, from the window, you can see a beautiful scenery of green waters and green mountains on the outskirts of the manor, and you can also overlook part of the prosperous and beautiful rice flower town.
Think about how enjoyable it would be to sit here, read a book, drink tea, and look up at the scenery!
And in the back half of this circular room, there are bookshelves full of books. The amount of books in the Yuchai family is completely comparable to that of a small library. These shelves are filled with all kinds of books, and as far as the eye can see, everything from academic disciplines to literary fiction can be constructed into a complete encyclopedia.
This is also the same in the new family, rich people always like to use this kind of thing to show their self-cultivation.
It's just that such a design is just convenient for the eagle to hide something.
"The Sixth Bookcase...... Fifth Floor ...... Ah, found it. ”
Uncle De pushed the dining cart to the front of the bookshelf, and then found the black and heavy book named "Zorro".
I saw him reach out and grab the upper edge of the spine of the book, and then pull it slightly. At that moment, with a mechanical sound, the entire wall suddenly seemed to tear apart from the middle, splitting to both sides, revealing the hidden elevator in the middle.
However, for this scene that would scare normal people, Uncle De just pushed the dining car into the elevator indifferently, and then pressed the down button in the elevator. At the same time, the outer walls began to slowly close again, turning into old, ordinary bookshelves, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Looks like you haven't slept all night, Master Takaya. ”
When Uncle Deok arrived at the underground base that Eagle Arrow named "Eagle's Nest", Eagle Arrow was wearing goggles and sitting at the table full of crafting tools, holding an iron piece of iron with his pliers and burning on the flamethrower.
"Is it already dawn?" Hearing Uncle De's words, Yingya couldn't help but push up his goggles, and then turned his head to look at the clock next to him, the words "7:00" were clearly displayed on the LCD screen.
"Staying up all night is not good for your health, Young Master Eagle Ya, it will make you very unenergetic all day. ”
Uncle De brought the breakfast to the table next to him, and then said helplessly.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Hawk turned off the flamethrower, and put the red-hot piece of iron in the sink by the water. Suddenly, the iron piece made a "bang" sound, and a puff of green smoke rose, "Moreover, didn't I say Uncle De, I learned a special method of sleeping there, and I can maintain full physical strength and spirit with only a very little sleep a day." ”
"If that's the case, that's really great, otherwise, if you receive a call from the head teacher every day complaining that Young Master Eagle Ya is sleeping in class, the old man really doesn't know what kind of face to face the lord and the lady. Uncle De couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Hawk Ya didn't care, just took the cooled piece of iron out of the water.
"Speaking of which, Young Master Eagle Ya, have you changed the paint of the high-fiber suit you bought last time?" Uncle De walked to a glass cabinet standing there next to him, looked at the blue-black clothes inside, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"yes, I want this outfit to be a sign!"
Eagle Arrow wiped the water stains off the piece of iron and placed it on a nearby machine to polish it.
"But why did you choose the eagle as the symbol?" Looking at the blue-black eagle logo on the chest of the black leather armor, Uncle De couldn't help but smile and said, "Is it because you have an eagle in your name?"
"Why not?" said the eagle without replying, "didn't my father give me this name in the hope that I could fly like an eagle and never look back like an arrow? ”
"What's more, I'm a big fan of eagles. It has a sharp and long-term vision, the courage to fly against the wind, the patience to endure and hibernate, and the decisive and swift claws! The most important thing is that no prey it targets can escape!"
Takaya took the piece of iron from the pliers, weighed it in his hand, and held it up in front of his eyes.
In the white light, the black piece of iron in his hand looked like an eagle flying high.
"It looks like those people are going to have nightmares when they go to bed at night. ”
Looking at the sign of the eagle, Uncle De couldn't help but say.
"Nightmares?" Taka sneered, "I want them to not even be able to dream!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but throw the dart in his hand and stuck straight into the stake he used for practice.
Under the light, the edges of the black darts flashed with a sharp cold light!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the warm sun dispelled the cold moonlight, the wheel of time turned again.
However, this bright color reflected the snow-white bed edge through the window, but it could not dispel the gloom between the girl's eyebrows.
"Why...... Why didn't he return my calls......"
Xia Jiang couldn't wait for Eagle Ya's call after all.
Did Uncle De forget to tell him about this?
But then she shook her head and dismissed the idea.
As a conscientious housekeeper, Xia Jiang believes in his professional ethics.
So, is he busy too late, and as soon as he gets home, he falls asleep tired?
Maybe...... No, it has to be like this, right?
Otherwise, why didn't anyone even answer the phone she couldn't help but call again?
Thinking so, the reddish circles under his eyes slowly filled with tears again.
Yes, she knows very well that such an excuse is simply not enough to deceive herself.
Because until the end of that phone call, the only answer to her was the endless busy tone.
The long and piercing busy sound made her heart sink little by little, until the moment the line was broken, she fell into the abyss.
He didn't want to take ...... So deliberately not answered......
Because even if Eagle Ya slept too deeply to hear it, couldn't even Uncle De, the housekeeper, hear it? Xia Jiang didn't think so.
So, she can only come to such conclusions.
"Why...... Mom and Dad are gone, and my sister is far away from me, and now ...... Are you going to leave me?"
Just as Xia Jiang was staring at the phone at the bedside in a daze, muttering to himself, the door of the room was gently knocked.
"Second Miss, are you up?" said the butler Suzuki's voice outside the door.
"Ah...... Well, I'm up. ”
Those two abrupt voices couldn't help but wake Xia Jiang up from his daze, and he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Second Miss, it's time for breakfast...... Ah, Second Miss, didn't you sleep last night?"
Looking at the neat futon and Xia Jiang who was sitting at the head of the bed with slightly red and swollen eyes, Suzuki couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Ah, it's nothing......" Xia Jiang just shook his head slightly, and then smiled at Suzuki.
The smile is beautiful, but it can't hide the bloodshot in her eyes and the tiredness between her eyebrows, which is distressing.
"Didn't get a response?" how could the old Suzuki not see the bloodshot and tear stains in her eyes, and after a little thought, he understood.
Hearing his voice, Xia Jiang couldn't help but hide the smile on his face and shook his head faintly.
"Why don't you ask him what he thinks in person, Second Miss?" Looking at the slightly pale face, the old housekeeper couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Will he meet me?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but turn his head, "He doesn't even want to answer my phone......
"Maybe that person just hasn't figured out how to face you, right?" Suzuki couldn't help but smile, "After all, after five years, he and you have both had such a big change with each other, and now that they have just come back, they don't know how to change roles for a while, right?"
"Perhaps......" Although he was still a little dazed, hearing his words, Xia Jiang's eyes couldn't help but brighten a little.
"Just sitting here and guessing has no results, and some thoughts will only be understood when you meet them. ”
Looking at the dark clouds that gradually dissipated between Xia Jiang's eyebrows, Suzuki's face couldn't help but show a smile.
"Well, you're right, no matter what, I have to meet him first!" Xia Jiang couldn't help but nodded, and then showed a smile, "Suzuki, help me prepare the car, I'm going to Rice Flower City!"
"Where are you going?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"Sister...... I ......" Seeing that tall figure, Xia Jiang, who was still a little excited, instantly became a little anxious.
"You're trying to run to find that stinky boy, aren't you?" said the tall figure angrily.
"En......" Xia Jiang, whose purpose was revealed, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then nodded slightly.
"Okay, grandpa just said, you are not allowed to go anywhere, stay at home honestly during this time!"
Seeing her slightly helpless look, the corners of the tall figure's mouth couldn't help but glow with a hint of sarcasm.
"Eh, why?" Hearing his sister's words, Xia Jiang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Who knows," said the tall figure, and turned to leave, "perhaps, your good deeds are near......
"Good thing...... Near?"
Xia Jiang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and repeated with some distraction.
