The hostel is divided into two floors, the first floor is for bunk beds, and the second floor is for standard rooms and double rooms. Xia Yu and I live on the second floor, and next door to us, there is a strange guest.

This is the third day that Xia Yu and I have lived here, and we have observed that the person next door returns early and leaves late every day, and his routine is really touching, like an owl that rises at night. His whereabouts are extremely strange, if you insist on sticking the label of a tourist on his head, it can't be a special trip to see the night view of Wuzhen, right?

With a series of hurried footsteps and the sound of opening and closing the door, I said to Xia Yu: "The 'owl' next door has gone to forage again." ”

Xia Yu, who was overflowing with curiosity, decided to get up early tomorrow morning to block him: "I want to see what kind of 'owl' this is." ”

She did what she said, and when I got up from bed the next morning, Xia Yu next to me was gone.

I hurriedly put on some clothes and went outside the room to check, only to see Xia Yu squatting alone by the door of the next room.

I asked curiously, "See?" ”

"No," Xia Yu didn't move in place, I heard her loss from her voice, "I just opened the door and came out, he will close the door and enter the house, just a matter of front and back, you say it's a pity!" ”

I walked up to her, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

"Study the footprints," she pointed to me to show a footprint on the ground, and the moment I looked up, I saw that she was also full of tiredness.

She said: "It's been raining all the time these days, and the footprints with muddy water are particularly clear. ”

Feeling distressed, I went back to my room and fetched a coat to put on her, then crouched down next to her.

Her focus is still on footprints: "How much do you know about footprints?" ”

I replied to her in the affirmative, "I don't understand." ”

Xia Yu suddenly smiled, as if a profiteer had met a wronged man: "Say it earlier, then let my sister give you a science popularization of footprints." ”

I wasn't interested in the dirty muddy water compounds of the place, but I couldn't understand why she was so happy.

Xia Yu suddenly took out a soft ruler out of nowhere, and was stopped by me just as he wanted to speak: "Wait a minute, where did you get this ruler?" ”

She was stunned: "I borrowed it from Chen Li." ”

"Oh, please continue."

"I hate it, don't interrupt me again," she continued after complaining, "This man is about 1.8 meters tall, and I have a theoretical basis for coming to this conclusion." Because a human stride is about one-seventh of his height, you can see that his stride length is about twenty-six centimeters. So it is conceivable that this is a rather tall cripple. ”

"Crippled?"

It was impossible for Xia Yu not to see the look of surprise on my face, but she obviously didn't dwell on it: "Call him lame, because the footprints on his right foot are deep and solid compared to his left foot." In retrospect, the sound of his footsteps as he went out was indeed of varying shades. Of course, this is all an afterthought, so don't mention it. ”

I thought it was profound: "Got up early in the morning and came to this simple conclusion?" The gains outweigh the losses. ”

Xia Yu is unhurried: "This is a male 'owl', because the difference in the physiological structure of men and women can also be reflected in the footprints. Men are generally slightly taller than women. Because it is not necessary to have children, the proportion of the pelvis is slightly narrower than that of women, and the latitude of the hip joints is smaller than that of the shoulder joint. Therefore, the center of gravity is high, the stride is large, the starting and landing feet are powerful, and the characteristics of the footprint are often uneven in the depth of the indentation. ”

I stared at the muddy footprints in front of me and was silent for a long time: "You are definitely lying to me again, making up nonsense, bullying me, an honest person who can't understand." ”

She seemed to be more surprised than me: "Don't you never watch CCTV legal programs?" I can even recite it backwards when I talk about it all day long. ”

"You're so boring, I don't care about memorizing the ancient texts in the Chinese textbook, why are you memorizing these useless things?" I'm quick to cut through the mess," he said. ”

"His name is Xue Yang, and he drives a Volkswagen Jetta."

I almost fryed: "It's fun to lie to me, huh?" Can you tell the name from the footprints? Isn't that a bit excessive? He also told me that he drove a Volkswagen Jetta, why didn't he drive an Airbus 320? ”

Xia Yu saw that I doubted life, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "I really didn't lie to you this time, you must not wronged a good person." I just emphasized that there is a theoretical basis for estimating height, and the rest is guaranteed? ”

"That's not an excuse for you to make up."

Xia Yu swore an oath: "The rest is absolutely right, because I have evidence in my hand." ”

I didn't rush to look at the evidence, I asked Xia Yu: "We've been squatting here for some time, are your legs numb?" ”

After I reminded him, Xia Yu wanted to try to stand up, but he sat on the ground with his butt and said with a smile: "Ma ......"

As we helped each other to our feet, she took out a small notebook from her arms and showed it to me: "This morning, I picked up his driving license." ”
