Before disembarking the starship, the captain repeatedly stated that the starship would return to school and enter the port at 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on January 7, the seventh day after the Chinese New Year's Eve. And solemnly warned: "If you fail to arrive in time, please return to school by yourself." Unless there are special circumstances, the school will treat the late arrivals as automatic withdrawal. ”

Gutang Star Airport gave a grand welcome ceremony to the 14 outstanding students of the Scout Middle School who returned safely. Because it was still early, the airport also arranged a rich buffet breakfast for the students.

During breakfast, after learning that Senior Sister Qiu Lili was going to Kungang Central Primary School to visit relatives, Cao Ge and Qi Guangren decided to go with Du Xiaoxiao and take a train back to Kungang Central Primary School together.

Wu Jinzhong and Lin Youhu are both from Pingzhang City, and they are considered home when they leave the airport. The train back to Kungang City departs at 2 p.m. The rest of the people said that they were not in a hurry to go home because of the very convenient transportation, and they wanted to visit Pingzhang City while it was still early.

Wu Jinzhong and Lin Youhu had no choice but to do their landlord's friendship, and they were willing to be guides and invite everyone to visit Pingzhang City together. So everyone handed over their luggage to the airport transfer transportation station. Play empty-handed, not to mention how comfortable it is.

When passing by the recruitment office, Du Xiaoxiao remembered that he had promised the little boy in the carving shop that he would come back to see him after the assessment. Now that I'm back, it's time to go again. said goodbye to everyone and said that he wanted to go to the grocery market near the original recruitment office.

It's been almost a year since I left, and the grocery market hasn't changed much, and it's still full of people coming and going. It's just that, compared with years ago, Du Xiaoxiao has grown a lot taller, and he can no longer swim in the sea of people like a small fish at will, but can only follow the flow of people step by step, and slowly walk towards the depths of the market.

In the depths of the market, the small carving gallery is hiding its doors. In less than a year, it already looks a little dilapidated and lonely, and there is no life. Du Xiaoxiao was a little strange, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A childish and hoarse voice came: "Please come in!" cough-cough-cough-"

Du Xiaoxiao pushed open the door, and saw that the little boy who used to laugh was half lying on the ground, with a thin layer of cloth carpet under him, and his hands were still carving, but he was a little less agile and more sad.

Du Xiaoxiao walked in the door: "Little brother, hello, do you remember me?" ”

The little boy raised his confused eyes and looked at her: "Are you-?" ”

Du Xiaoxiao walked up to the little boy and said with a smile: "Do you remember the sister who bought wood from you?" ”

The little boy first froze, then his face changed, he staggered up, limped to the door, stretched his neck and looked left and right, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Are you the sister who gave me a woodcarved doll?" Why are you here again, let's go! Otherwise, it will be too late...... Ahem-ahem-ahem, let's go! ”

Du Xiaoxiao was a little inexplicable, and still said with concern: "Little brother, what's wrong with you?" And what's wrong with your legs? ”

The little boy didn't explain, but took Du Xiaoxiao's hand, pushed it out, and said excitedly while pushing: "Don't ask, let's go!" Otherwise, it would be terrible for my grandfather to come back. ”

Du Xiaoxiao was still puzzled, although the last time I saw the little boy's grandfather, I didn't have a good impression of him, but I didn't steal or rob, so there was no need to be afraid of him, right? He said indifferently: "Little brother, it's okay." You haven't told me yet, what's your name? ”

"My name is Xiao Zhan, what about my sister?" The little boy was still very anxious, but he still answered Du Xiaoxiao obediently, but avoided talking about his leg injury.

"My name is Du Xiaoxiao, and you will call me Miss Xiao in the future!" Du Xiaoxiao took Xiao Zhan's hand and wanted him to sit down and rest.

But Xiao Zhan was always unwilling to delay Du Xiaoxiao, and his anxious voice was slightly choked: "Little Miss, just listen to me, get out of here quickly!" Otherwise, it's really troublesome! As he spoke, he put his head out of the door again, but saw that his grandfather's figure had already reached the stone steps across the street, so he quickly retracted his head, grabbed Du Xiaoxiao and pushed him out: "Little Miss, go quickly!" If you don't leave, I'll catch my grandfather, and I can't go if I want to, hurry! ”

Du Xiaoxiao was pushed by Xiao Zhan and almost fell, although he didn't know what to do, but seeing that Xiao Zhan was so resolute, he decided to leave first to find someone to investigate.

However, it was too late. Before Du Xiaoxiao could take two steps, Du Xiaoxiao was blocked at the door by Xiao Zhan's grandfather.

"Yo, little girl, it's been a long time, I've grown up a lot! Please come in and sit down!"

"I~" Before Du Xiaoxiao could speak, he was caught by the old man, carried into the store, and tied the door of the store.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was already lying on the cloth blanket again, and he was carving again with his composure, but his trembling shoulders revealed his frightened heart.

Just when Du Xiaoxiao was about to resist, he was already controlled by Old Man Xiao, and he couldn't use any strength.

At this time, Old Man Xiao had already found a piece of hemp rope from nowhere to tie Du Xiaoxiao tightly, and beat Xiao Zhan again: "What you can't keep at home, you dare to help others hide Lao Tzu?" ”

Then he found another piece of rope to tie Xiao Zhan up, lifted a pendant, pressed it with his hand, and a secret passage appeared in front of him. Then one in each hand, he picked it up, walked into the dark passage, restored his original state, and left.

Let's say, Qiu Lili, Wu Jin and others, after shopping in the nearby market, can't wait for Du Xiaoxiao on the left, and can't wait for Du Xiaoxiao on the right, they feel very strange, it's almost noon, why haven't they come back yet.

Qiu Lili couldn't sit still, so she asked Lin Youhu and the others, where did Du Xiaoxiao go? What did you do?

I asked around, but no one answered, but you look at me and I look at you at a loss.

Gao Junnan endured it, thought about it, and said weakly: "Maybe she went to the grocery street to find the wood carving shop, but I'm afraid that she has forgotten the time!" ”

Qiu Lili hurriedly said, "Do you know where it is? Then let's go find out. As he spoke, he said to Gao Junnan, "Hurry up, try to find someone as soon as possible." ”

However, when everyone came to the door of the carving shop, they saw that the door was bolted from the inside. Qiu Lili quietly came to the shop next to her to inquire, saying that someone had indeed seen a little girl, and was forced into the door by the owner of the carving shop, Old Man Xiao, but no one came out again.

Wu Jinzhong had no choice but to find the market administrator and ask him to open the door. Finally, the door opened, only to find that there was nothing in the house. Careful search only in one corner, there was a trace of traces, Lin Youhu quickly distinguished, sprayed the traces with medicine, only to see that the traces gradually turned into an arrow with the word "SOS". The arrow points to a pendant.

Qiu Lili hurriedly lifted the pendant, groped carefully, and finally found the trick, and when she lifted it, she saw a "quack" sound, and a secret passage appeared in front of her.
