Chapter 46: Covenants (2)
In the empty warehouse, there was no sound at all, and it was so quiet that it was frightening and panicking.
After Lao Xu hung up the communication, the whole person sat on the ground, Gu Chengzi and I looked at him worriedly, but we didn't dare to ask him. Lao Xu covered his eyes with his hands and shook his head very regretfully.
"Damn the blanket! let me see it, I'm going to tear it up!" he said angrily.
"What's wrong with the blanket?" I asked quietly, probably because my voice was too quiet, and Lao Xu was silent and didn't reply to my words.
"The blanket was put down and we flew away. Gu Chengzi turned his head and put it to my ear, and when I saw him so close to me, my heart pounded for a while.
He didn't seem to notice anything, and continued to whisper to me, "We don't know where it's going to go." But now that I finally knew, it shouldn't have flown back to base in a thousand mistakes. ”
"Oh...... What do you mean......" I looked at Gu Chengzi nervously and slowly moved my body away. After keeping a safe distance, I thought about what he said again, and it didn't take much effort to understand it all.
I sighed deeply and looked at Lao Xu, who was hiding his face and melancholy, not knowing what to do.
To be honest, I've always felt that Fleur's blanket is not ordinary, although it looks like an ordinary blanket, it is very spiritual, just like Fleur's pet, and can understand all her thoughts.
Moreover, it is much smarter and more flexible than other intelligent machines, and it will express its emotions by swinging. Sometimes, when I face it, I feel like I'm dealing with a person, not a blanket.
It hurried back to the base, it must have wanted to move the rescuers, tell the people in the base that Fleur was in danger, and asked them to rescue her. But not everyone is a hibiscus and can read its meaning, so it is estimated that many people think it is crazy like what Jiang Man said.
It's good to go back to the base to move the rescuers, but it shouldn't go back at this time, and Furao also said, don't go back to the base, because I'm afraid that we will be followed.
And the blanket has probably exposed the location of the base this time. That's why Lao Xu is so worried and excited, it is estimated that he is most worried about Jiang Man's safety.
"Lao Xu...... They'll be fine. I was relieved with no confidence.
Lao Xu slowly raised his head and looked at me with empty eyes, and his whole person seemed to be swallowed up by the haze. According to his character, he shouldn't let me and Gu Chengzi stand aside at a loss, but would tease the two of us in a bad way, until the two of us were annoyed by his jokes.
However, he obviously did not have this in mind now.
"Gu Chengzi, what are we going to do? Otherwise, let's go back to the base now! I lowered my voice and whispered to Gu Chengzi.
Gu Chengzi glanced at me, shook his head, put his hand on his mouth, and lowered his voice to tell me.
"I can't go back yet...... If we hadn't found this blanket when we went back, but when we went back, it would have been greatly exposed!"
I looked at Gu Chengzi with blinking eyes, I didn't expect his mind to be so meticulous, and he suddenly thought of the key to the matter, which is why Lao Xu kept sitting on the ground in a daze, without any movement at all.
In this way, time passed minute by minute, Lao Xu clasped his hands together, and kept chanting something silently in his mouth, while Gu Chengzi and I stood in front of the warehouse door, looking at this desolate desert from afar.
"Hey~Hey~ Shanshan!Are you there?" Suddenly, Jiang Man's voice came from the communication device, and Lao Xu bounced up from the ground and leaned over in front of the communicator.
"Man, what's wrong?" Lao Xu yelled anxiously and worriedly.
"It's okay~Shanshan~ Don't make such a fuss!" Through the communicator, I could hear that Jiang Man was now dragging his cheeks with both hands, and he was so excited that he blushed.
"How are you evacuating?" asked Lao Xu gasped, sweat dripping down his head.
"You can rest assured about this~ I made it clear to them, and everyone began to evacuate~"
"That's good, that's good. Lao Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile regained on his face.
"By the way~Shanshan~ When can we meet?" Jiang Man said to Lao Xu in a coquettish tone, Lao Xu turned his head and glanced at me and Gu Chengzi, and the two of us pretended not to see anything and hear nothing.
"Joan, what do you see that?" Gu Chengzi pointed to the sky and said to me, and I also looked in the direction he pointed to.
"Manman, we can't see you yet. Lao Xu said embarrassedly.
"Ah~ Why can't you see it yet!" Jiang Man was a little angry.
"Gee, you know, the lazy guy must still be sneaking his eyes on us. ”
"Okay, you have to pay attention to safety, Shanshan~"
"I will. ”
"Okay~ I'm going to take them away. See you in the old place in six days. ”
"Okay, I'll see you in the old place in six days. ”
Lao Xu hung up the newsletter gently, and his excitement was already beyond words. He swaggered over to me and Gu Chengzi, raised his eyebrows at the two of us, and looked at us with a very sly look.
I could guess at once what he was doing, he wanted the two of us to compliment him. I saw it, but Gu Chengzi didn't see it yet, he looked at Lao Xu with a puzzled mind, he seemed to think about important things very clearly, but he didn't understand small things such as other people's faces and words.
"You're so amazing, Lao Xu~" I held my conscience and pretended to praise him.
"Oh yo~ I'm not that powerful, it's just a sudden, I just thought of it all of a sudden!" Lao Xu was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, and his body twisted and pinched.
I looked at him speechlessly, regretting why I had said such a contrary word, I really couldn't stand it.
"Brother Xu...... So what are we going to do next?" Gu Chengzi interjected coldly, and this sentence hit Lao Xu the head like a big hammer, and Lao Xu's whole person suddenly froze.
After a while, Lao Xu returned to his original state and looked at Gu Chengzi with a very disgusted look, as if complaining that he had disturbed his interest.
"Where else can we go now? I guess the lazy guy is still staring at us. Lao Xu pursed his lips, frowned, and thought seriously.
Lao Xu walked to the edge of the warehouse and jumped down in one step, and we jumped down with him. He walked around the truck, his eyes fixed on the Tianshan Mountain.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he patted his head, turned around, and said to the two of us.
"Huh~ Why don't we go for a ride!"
"Ride?" Gu Chengzi and I said in unison.
"Yes, how about we go for a walk around the Tianshan Mountains?" Lao Xu looked at me very seriously and raised his eyebrows at me. At this point, I can't guess what he's thinking.
"Brother Xu, isn't it good for us to play at this time. Gu Chengzi said.
"What is this to play!" Lao Xu beckoned to the two of us, and we walked up to him, and he slapped both of us on the shoulders with both of us, pressing our bodies to the ground, and the three of us huddled together head to head.
At this time, Lao Xu lowered his voice, so low that he could only hear his breath, and he continued, "Let's just walk around casually, so that the lazy guy thinks that we have no heart and lungs, and really have no intention of going back to save Fleur." When he's gone, we'll go back to meet them up. ”
"Oh~ So you're thinking about it. I finally understood, and nodded.
"Okay, that's it, let's play two laps in the next two days. Lao Xu raised his hand and stood up straight, and Gu Chengzi and I also stood up straight.
"Brother Xu......" Gu Chengzi was still a little worried.
"Chengzi, you should relax for the past two days, go, and get in the car. ”
Lao Xu pulled Gu Chengzi to the back of the car and asked Gu Chengzi to stay in the warehouse, Gu Chengzi looked at Lao Xu with a confused expression, he probably was thinking, why should I stay in the warehouse.
"Why are you still stunned, there are only two positions in the cab, Xiao Qiong and I will sit in front, and you will stay here. You still want Xiao Qiong to go to the warehouse with you!" Lao Xu stared at Gu Chengzi and said angrily.
"No, no, no, I'm on, I'm on. Gu Chengzi's face turned red, and he quickly climbed into the warehouse and sat down, and secretly glanced at me. I pretended I didn't see anything and looked at the sky.
"Xiao Qiong, you sit in the front, you also sat last time. Lao Xu said to me with a smile.
"Okay, uncle. ”
"Huh, you little girl!"
I walked to the cab, opened the door, stepped up with one foot, kicked hard with the other, and sat down in a flash. I'm sitting in this position, and it's so familiar.
I think that at the beginning, I was sitting in this position, although I fainted once in the process, but anyway, I also took this car and came to Lazy Town, and Lao Xu is also the first person I met here.
I still can't figure out why I believed him in the first place, that he wasn't a bad person. As a result, now that I am on this thief ship, I can't get off even if I want to.
Lao Xu also sat in the driver's seat at this time and told us to all fasten our seat belts. When I tied it, he flicked the switch on the car and the car started.
The car drove slowly forward, and I looked out the window at the unchanged scenery, and everything seemed to settle down.
However, I felt that this time I was not sitting as comfortably as the last time, and the more I moved, the more uncomfortable I became. I turned around and took a closer look at the seat, it was the same as last time, but I always felt like something was on top of it.
I touched the seat, it was smooth and soft and there was nothing, could it be my own?
I quickly fumbled around my upper and lower pockets, and finally found something very hard, in the pocket of my ass. I pulled it out, put it in front of my eyes, and screamed in fright.
Lao Xu also turned his head to see what was wrong with me.
But as soon as he saw what I was doing, he was so frightened that he jumped up, and in a panic, he suddenly stepped on the brakes, and with a sharp brake, we both crashed forward. It's good to wear a seatbelt, otherwise I would really have to fly out.
The two of us were fine, but Gu Chengzi in the warehouse suffered, and when he heard the movement, he fell several times inside. He opened the small window connecting the cargo compartment to the cab, endured the pain, and said aggrievedly.
"Brother Xu...... What are you doing, are you trying to throw me to death?"
"Gu Chengzi, what do you see I'm holding?" I held up the thing I was holding in front of the small window.
Gu Chengzi blinked through the small window, and looked carefully at what I was holding in my hand. After a while, he was also frightened to close the small window, and then open it little by little.
His eyes widened and he looked at me incredulously.
"It's not ...... Zhuang Zhou's box, how can it be in your hands!" Gu Chengzi asked loudly.
"I don't know, I guess Fleur put it on me when I wasn't paying attention. ”
I carefully recalled my contact with Fleur, and she surprisingly gave me a deep hug after my nanosuit was consumed, and it was probably when she hugged me that she placed the Zhuang Zhou box on my body.
But this is just my speculation, Fleur is so smart, she may have put it on me early on.
"It's over. Gu Chengzi said with a worried face.
"What's the end of it?" I asked him, puzzled.
"Think about it, what is he trying to do with laziness...... One is to figure this Zhuang Zhou box, and the other is to draw you, this time he didn't get either, this is a complete failure...... Do you think he will let us go easily?" Gu Chengzi pursed his lips and looked into the distance, his eyes adding a little helplessness.
"This ......" I didn't know what to say for a while, after all, I didn't expect Fuqu to put Zhuang Zhou's box on me.
"Now that we have Zhuang Zhou's box," Lao Xu interjected at this time, his eyes became sharp, he took a deep breath, and continued, "Maybe this is all providence, since this is the case, we have to make good use of it." ”
"Huh, what do you want to do?" I looked at Lao Xu, and he turned his head, and we looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.
"What else can you do!
