When he asked me this, I panicked. My well-planned actions were based on the fact that the other person would not see what I was holding, and if it didn't exist, my plan would be completely meaningless.

At this point, my mind was racing, what went wrong? Feathers, left hand, bloodstains, statues...... Feather! Thinking of this, I quickly reached out and touched the feather in my right pocket, and there was nothing. My heart was cold, and the whole person leaned on the storage compartment, and I couldn't stand on my feet.

Professor Zhao in front of him slowly walked to the side and turned on the switch on the wall, and the room instantly became extremely bright. He looked at me with a pale face and a playful smile on his face.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu, are you looking for this thing?" He walked up to me and pulled the familiar blood-red feather out of his pocket.

Beads of sweat dripped down my cheeks and down my neck, cool. I didn't know how to answer him, I just kept swallowing.

"I get the feathers of the birds. Editor-in-Chief Wu, it seems that you are not a simple person. He picked up the feather in his hand and stared at it carefully by the light.

I hugged the statue's hand tightly, could it be that the person in front of me also knew the function of the bird's feathers? Seeing that I didn't answer, he smiled faintly a few times and shook his head, then took back the feather in his hand, and a pair of old but bright eyes appeared under the reflective lenses.

"Under the wings, the living are not visible." He said thoughtfully, "But Editor-in-Chief Wu, such a result is conditional. ”

"On what terms?" I asked subconsciously.

"Once this bird gives you the feathers, it means that she has entrusted her soul to you, and only in this way can she exert the effect of the feathers. You're a special person. As he said that, I felt something familiar with it. Didn't the woman in red in the dream say the same thing? What is so special about this?

Seeing my puzzled expression, Professor Zhao patted me on the shoulder and told me to relax, he wouldn't do anything to me. Because Ye Jiahe told him in advance that no matter what kind of help I need, he must cooperate with me unconditionally. I was shocked, I didn't expect that they had already reached an agreement a long time ago, and I was stupid to think about doing it alone.

Now that the danger is gone, I am not so nervous, and my hanging heart is finally relaxed. Professor Zhao took out the prepared box from the storage compartment next to him and helped me put the statue inside. This box was prepared for me by Ye Jiahe, and it is said that no matter what tools are used to check the irradiation, there will be no problems. After I sighed at the high technology of Ye Jiahe's company, it suddenly occurred to me that Professor Zhao had not returned the feathers of the Gu Bird to me.

"Professor Zhao, since you know that I am helping Ye Jiahe, please return my things to me."

He smiled, as if he knew that I would say this, and said unhurriedly: "You can give it back, but you have to sue me first, why did Ye Jiahe help you so much?" ”

After hearing this, I had some doubts. Since Ye Jiahe asked him to spare no effort to help me, then she should tell Professor Zhao the reason. Now Professor Zhao doesn't know the reason for assisting me, which means that Ye Jiahe is not asking him, but ordering him, and he must have some handle in Ye Jiahe's hands. Thinking about it this way, I have some confidence in my heart, if I tell the truth about it, this old man may restrain Ye Jiahe in turn, and at that time, he may not necessarily protect me, and I may end up in a situation where I am surrounded by enemies.

"Why did she help me, don't you know?" I thought for a moment and asked rhetorically. After hearing this, his expression changed from contempt to doubt, and I could feel the change in his inner mood. It worked.

"After all, I know about that, don't forget." Although my expression was calm, my heart was already overturned. Whether it is dead or alive, gamble first, and if not, it is not too late to tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, the sentence I blurted out had a miraculous effect, and his expression immediately changed from doubt to surprise, until finally fixed on fear. He immediately took out the feather in his pocket, reluctantly handed it to me, lowered his head and sighed.

"Since you know the truth, you can still act so much like last time, you are worthy of helping Ye Jiahe." With that, he left the pantry and told me to close the door when I left.

"Get it back as soon as you run out of things, I'll try to help you buy time." He left this phrase.

Looking at his departing back, a tight string in my body finally loosened. I walked out of the N big with the small box in my hand, and took a taxi all the way to the train station. On the way home, I kept thinking about the conversation I had with Professor Zhao.

I haven't found a trace of the legend of Gu Shou's bird feathers on the Internet, but he seems to know very well, and he knows everything I don't know, and he must not be an ordinary person. In addition, if I casually threaten him, he actually believes it, so my nonsense "that thing" must be in existence and threatens him. What handle does Professor Zhao have in Ye Jiahe's hands? I suddenly found myself unwittingly caught up in the maelstrom of this thing, and I was sinking deeper and deeper.

Taking a deep breath, I looked out the window at the rapidly receding landscape, my thoughts drifting. Not long after the train, it had already entered the territory of City C, and I couldn't help but feel a little dazed when I saw the familiar scenes. The last time I went home was a long time ago.

Before I could tell my parents about going home early, they were surprised and delighted to see me at the door of the house, and hurriedly welcomed me in. As I said last time, Qin Chuyi and I are small, and the two families live very close. But when I was in junior high school, my parents bought a house in the city, and I moved with them, leaving my grandparents to live in the old house. And Qin Chuyi's family has a large area of land in the countryside and is still rooted there.

When my mother saw that I had a wound on my hand, she immediately took out the medicine box at home and carefully bandaged it for me. While bandaging, I counted my carelessness, and I didn't take care of myself at all when I was alone outside. As I talked, I talked about letting me go back to my hometown to find a job, and I could only nod vigorously, saying that I was only promoted and could still fight. Mom said a few words of disgust, and then let me go. Although my mother, uncle and aunt are all doctors, my mother and aunt don't work much anymore. After my mother left the tertiary hospital, she went to a community hospital, where she worked in the physical examination of the elderly; The aunt completely discarded the old job bowl and was busy helping her sister who opened an online store to buy and ship; Only my uncle, who is still staying in the city's key hospital, has now been promoted to department director.

After packing up, I sent another message to Qin Chuyi to tell him that things were going very smoothly, and the things had been obtained. As in the afternoon, the kid still didn't reply to my message. I thought to myself that he should still be busy with Lu Yao's affairs, so I didn't call him. After taking a hot bath, I fell asleep early, preparing to go to Qin Chu's family early tomorrow morning to find them. Maybe it was the exhaustion after a day of high tension that made me fall into a deep dream.

……

"Zizi ......"

"Zizi ......"

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up with a phone on my bed. After stretching lazily, I glanced at the collection around me, and the ten o'clock displayed on the screen immediately knocked all my sleepy insects flying. I looked at my phone nervously, there were already many missed calls and messages on it, all of which were sent by Qin Chuyi. I quickly got out of bed and washed up, and saw that my mother and father were already dressed and waiting for me in the living room.

"I'm up." Seeing me, my mother's face was full of doting expressions, "Seeing that you are tired from work, I can't bear to wake you up." I've already told my grandparents to go to their house for dinner today. ”

I wanted to rush to Qin Chu's family first, but I didn't expect that the whole family would go to the countryside today. I quickly changed my clothes and took my parents' car to the old house in the countryside.

City C is a small second- and third-tier city, which is in the stage of development with full strength, and there are still many fields left in the countryside. Most of these fields are contracted to be operated by special personnel, and many of them are mechanized industries. Along the way, large fields came into view, and I looked at this qiē and felt as if I had returned to my childhood.

My grandparents' house is in a small town in the countryside, and there is the most primitive and simple snack street, which is the only way for me to get out of elementary school. When I got home, I forgot for a moment what I was doing here, and I always greeted my grandparents who were standing at the door to greet us. The two old men hadn't seen me for a long time, and they were very proud to see me on my own footing in the big city. Many of my neighbors who watched me grow up as a child also came to greet us, and I was so moved by the warmth that I forgot what I was going to do next.

"By the way, Xiao Yi has been waiting for you in the house for a long time." Grandma took my hand and said to me, "You and Xiaoyi look really compatible!" ”

"What are you talking about, grandma." I said, "When did that kid from Qin Chuyi come?" "That's when I remembered what my purpose was.

"Much earlier than you!" A familiar voice came from the house, Qin Chu chewed the braised pork made by my grandmother, and smiled cheaply: "Do you want to eat it?" ”
