Xiao Hai smiled lightly, with a calm attitude in his eyes, and said: "You don't have to sympathize with me, I tell you that these things are not to make you sympathetic, or to tell you, I don't go to the hotel and don't spend that meaningless money." If something really happens, I'll deal with it with you, don't look at me fat, I can fight very well. ”

Her words reminded me of her swift reaction and the short knife in her hand when she was in the courtyard just now, so I asked her who she had learned martial arts with.

She watched the TV and didn't answer.

I thought it might be that I didn't want to tell me, so I didn't ask again. But after being silent for a while, she still couldn't hold back her other curiosity, and asked her who she learned the ability to slip locks.

This time she replied, "With my dad." ”

I was stunned in my heart, remembering that Uncle Xiu had taught me so many skills, but he had never taught me to slip locks. Looking at Xiao Hai's expression again, I felt that there seemed to be some other story that was not simple. But she didn't continue, and I had to forget it.

I still hoped that she would go to the hotel, and after a few more persuasions, I got up and sat down on another sofa, still staring at the TV, and clearly telling me to stay away from her. I really had no choice but to give up and say, "Okay, okay, go upstairs, take a shower and sleep." ”

She said, "No, I'll sleep on the couch, I'll watch TV." ”

I said, "There's a TV in the upstairs bedroom, you can see it whenever you like, and I don't think you're spending electricity." ”

She finally turned her face to me and said, "You're so rich." ”

Carrying a large bag upstairs, he put his things in the bedroom, and closed the doors of the other two rooms that had just been opened to check for intruders.

After closing the door to the innermost room, I turned to go back to my bedroom, and my eyes swept over the shelf at the end of the hallway where the vase was placed, and I felt that something was missing there.

What's missing?

I stood still, turned back to the wall at the end of the hallway, stared, looked closely, and there was a solid wood shelf on the wall, on which lay a large European pastoral vase with twelve artificial roses, and nothing else.

It shouldn't be like this.

Xiaohai saw that I was frozen and came over to ask me what the situation was.

I pointed to the front shelf and asked her if she had touched anything on it.

"No," she said. ”

I said, "There should have been something there next to that vase, but it's gone, and the point is that I can't remember what it was." ”

She walked over and picked up the vase, looked at it from front to back, left and right, pulled out the rose, turned the vase upside down and shook it, but there was nothing, so she put it back as it was, frowned and asked, "Are you really sure there is anything else here?" ”

I nodded, "Sure, I'm sure it was there when I went out this morning, it's something I don't use often, it's been there all along, and now it's suddenly gone, I can't even remember what it is." ”

She was out of choice and said, "Think slowly, don't count on me, I haven't lived in such a good house, and I can't use that shadowless imagination." ”

It took me a while to sort out my mind before I finally remembered what was there.

Car keys.

The backup key to my broken Santana.

I'm afraid I'll lose it when I put it around, so I put the backup key in a place where I can see it every day, thinking that if I use it one day, I won't be blinded temporarily. That's a good idea, but I've never used the backup key, so I basically ignore it every day, and suddenly I can't remember the fragment. Now that I think about it, the blood vessels in my body exploded and almost blew up.

When I was downstairs just now, I felt that the intruder's breath was very close to me, so I thought she was still hiding in the house, but I couldn't find her.

It turned out that she was not hiding in the house.

Instead, hide in the broken Santa in the corner of the yard! I didn't think to check the car at the time! Make such a big mistake!

I swallowed hard, clenched my fists, and whispered to Xiaohai: "The car keys, the car keys are missing, and the person who sneaked into my house took the car keys and hid them in my car!" ”

I was about to go downstairs as I spoke, but before I could turn around, I suddenly felt a strong wind and a fat shadow passing by my ears, and she rushed into the bedroom and ran to the balcony, holding on to the railing with one hand, and the whole person flipped out.

At that moment, my heart was about to stop, and I rushed over to stop what was completely subconscious, but I didn't catch up.

I saw her swinging the railing of the bedroom on the third floor and jumping to the balcony of the study on the second floor, and then swinging the balcony railing on the second floor and falling directly into the yard, and then the cat's waist ran to the corner of the yard and disappeared into the darkness of the house.

I really didn't want to jump, who wants to jump on the balcony of their own house to play, I'm afraid that she will suffer if she is single, so I also jumped down, landed steadily, and ran quickly to the corner of the courtyard.

The car hadn't been stolen, and there was no one in it, except that the driver's door was ajar and the backup key was thrown behind the windshield.

I don't understand what the reason is, the intruder took the car keys and got into the car without driving away? Or did you drive away and drive back to me?

I can't figure it out.

I checked the car inside and out, up and down, and there was really no problem, neither missing anything nor more.

I waved my fist a few times in the air to vent my dissatisfaction, walked back to the bottom of the corridor and turned on the lights in the courtyard, and then saw Xiaohai standing next to the car, looking in the direction of the courtyard gate with two eyes, looking very cold.

I followed her gaze to see the big iron gate in the courtyard, and then the whole person was a little crazy, a little toothy and clawed. I've never had this kind of nervous temperament, but I was forced to become a madman by this inexplicable bloody incident one after another.

The large iron gate of the courtyard was ajar.

I remember very well that I had locked the iron door tightly before entering the house, not to mention that there had been an accident today, even if it was usually calm, I would carefully lock the courtyard door. Su Mosen has made the rules since I was very young, so even if my brain is negligent sometimes, my limbs will automatically complete it, which is called inertia, not to mention that my brain is not down at all today.

In other words, when I went out during the day, the intruder entered the house through the broken door on the second-floor balcony, walked up and down, took the car backup key, and stayed in the car all the time. When I searched upstairs and downstairs with Xiaohai, or watched TV and chatted, she quietly left the door.

I didn't hear any movement, footsteps, the sound of the door opening, I couldn't forgive it.

Think about it carefully, there are more people around me today, and a series of things have happened, my brain is confused, my concentration is very poor, and as long as the intruder moves lightly enough, it's normal that I don't hear it.

I suddenly got a little scared.

If the other party's purpose is clear, rushing money, rushing things, or rushing my life, as long as it is clear, it is easy to do, and I can take some preparatory measures accordingly, the problem is this kind of invasion with an unknown purpose, once or twice, think about it and know that there will be a third or fourth time in the future, not for money at all, and it doesn't seem to want anyone's life, thinking about it is not clear, this is terrible.

What exactly does she want?

Or, what the hell is she for.

This night I let Xiaohai sleep in a bed with me, although there are many empty rooms at home, but no one has lived, I am usually very lazy, cleaning is limited to the part of the range that I will be active, so I basically do not enter the guest room, the dust inside is about several inches thick, there is no way to live at all, let her live with me first, if she plans to stay for a long time, and then sort out a room for her to live.

I had a plan to keep her, but I didn't know how to speak, and I couldn't even think about telling her that I knew her father.

And whitebait, I wanted to ask her if she had any.

She should have.

I have a silverfish, which is a birthday gift from Uncle Xiu on my birthday. He was very solemn, avoided Su Mosen and secretly handed it over to me, and told me to keep it carefully and not let anyone take it away. He said that he had made it with his own hands, and that he would make three of these fish, and that he would give them to the three most important and trusted people, and that if anyone came to me one day with the same whitebait, he could trust him 100 percent. He said they would protect me and take care of me, and of course, if I was able, protect and take care of them.

Uncle Xiu made me swear that I would do what he said, and I swore an oath.

Then five years ago, one night not long after Su Mosen left home, a man with a scar on his face suddenly appeared, and he showed me a silverfish, and I trusted him unconditionally and saved his life, as I had once sworn to Uncle Xiu, even though I didn't even know who he was.

I have always carried this silverfish, in winter with a red rope strung close to the neck, in the summer because the neckline of the clothes are shallow, will be exposed, so put away with a small and delicate old purse to string in the waistband of the trousers, the purse does not know where it came from, because I like it, has been kept, very old are reluctant to lose, when I was a child used to hold good-looking marbles or something, when I was older, I have installed jewelry, and then I have been loading this silverfish, when I don't need it, wash it carefully and put it away.

In fact, Su Mosen knew that I had this silverfish, and after looking at it a few times, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the same as those other small objects, which Uncle Xiu gave me to play with, just like the gold bracelet on my left wrist. Later, I often thought that if Su Mosen knew that these things contained earth-shattering secrets, he would definitely be furious.

Although Uncle Xiu and Su Mosen often corresponded and were old friends, their relationship was not very good, and I heard them quarrel many times, and they almost fought. On two occasions, the content of their quarrel was related to me, and Uncle Xiu found that I had injuries or other traces of abuse by Su Mosen, so he went to him to theorize, and yelled hatefully, saying that Nier is a child, and you should treat her as a person. If you don't raise her well, give it to me, I'll raise her! I hid outside the door, shivering, hoping he would actually take me away.

But Su Mosen didn't let him.

He doesn't treat me well and doesn't want me to be good.
