Zhou Shu once again shared a room with a girl who was not particularly acquainted. While he was washing the strawberries that didn't actually need to be washed, he felt that something was wrong. Based on similar experiences he had before, it seemed that every time a similar scene appeared, the girl would become very familiar with him......

Chen Yourong felt a sense of satisfaction that he had done a good deed after stuffing the money under his pillow, and his eyes began to continue to sweep around the room, wanting to see if there was anything else he could help with. Soon, her attention was drawn to a box at her feet, on which were several books tied together, and the cover of the top one was beautiful, a little girl drawn in oil. The title of the book is "The Girl".

She hadn't read a book since she left school, and when she looked carefully in the room, she found that there were a lot of books in the room, and they were everywhere.

"That man likes to read? ”

Zhou Shu's first impression of Chen Yourong was not very good, so she hit him, but then the misunderstanding was resolved, and she naturally looked at this person with some guilt. I thought he was a muscular character with a label, but now it seems that he is quite smart. In Chen Yourong's head, only smart people like to read, and she happily classifies herself as a stupid.

She grabbed the stack of books, untied the nylon rope that was bound up, and touched the hardcover cover with beautiful drawings with her fingers. The feeling of holding this book alone made her enjoy it very much, but then she opened the book to read the words on it, and Chen Yourong suddenly had a feeling that she had been hypnotized.

'No, you can't fall asleep in a strange man's room!'

She put down the book with its powerful hypnotic effect, and focused on the cardboard box that padded the book, which she always felt as if there was some living thing inside. From the moment she had noticed, the room was not quiet at all, and there was always something moving in the dark.

She remembered what Zhou Shu's big guy had said. Don't touch the jars in the house. Indeed, there were a lot of jars in this room, and the ratio to books and other miscellaneous items was one to one. The cardboard box is considered other miscellaneous items and is not within the scope of the warning, so she opened the box very unceremoniously.

Zhou Shu finished washing the strawberries, and found a large bowl in the closet. After another half a day of washing, I prepared the things for entertaining the guests and came out of the kitchen with them.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard Chen Yourong scream in a very little girl's voice.

"Oh, why is this cat so cute!!"

The guard cat, Yu Bird's bodyguard, once killed her father in the knife killing group. Now the cat is being picked up by Chen Yourong with two front paws, and he is looking at it vigorously. It was buried in the box during the cleaning of the birds' house, and then it was carelessly transported from the people. At this point, a cat-faced figure was dazed and helpless, not knowing what was going on. Fortunately, it then saw Zhou Shu, an acquaintance, and easily broke free of Chen Yourong, and waved his hand at the acquaintance, looking quite humane.

"Is this your cat?" Chen Yourong's tone changed when he watched the cat speak, like a kindergarten aunt coaxing a child.

Zhou Shu handed her a pot full of strawberries, and looked at his cat that was weird to the doctor. He didn't know much about it, but probably only that the cat was responsible for keeping the bird safe. In addition, the knight dog has been in addition to the guard function, and by the way, it uses its own stomach to store some living organs or something. It's a toolkit for living people.

"Guard, go and sit in the corner, don't move!"

Secretary Zhou knew that the claws of the guard cat were poisonous, and he was worried that it would accidentally kill himself or this chengguan girl, so he had to restrict its personal freedom.

Guard cats are very obedient and completely different from ordinary felines. Very honestly, squatting in the corner of the wall and keeping still in a beckoning cat-like position.

Chen Yourong still knows a lot about cats, and she has also raised them at home, so she has never seen such an obedient cat. "How is your cat trained, it's amazing! Let me give it a hug." ”

Seeing this cat seemed quite normal, Zhou Shu's heart was put down. It can be seen that it should know its relationship with Yu Feiniao, and eighty percent of it is what Yu Feiniao told before. Since you know that it's not dangerous, then hug it. Master Zhou glanced at Chen Yourong with his chin, and the cat slowly slipped into the arms of Xiaochengguan.

It was already afternoon when Chen Yourong left, and a phone call called her back to the law enforcement brigade. At this time, she had a good impression of Zhou Shu, and according to her logic, a man who likes cats must be a good person. She was supposed to exchange phone numbers, but before that, she was pushed out of the door by Zhou Shu.

After sending the chengguan away, Master Zhou made a phone call to Yu Feiniao.

"Is the cat with you? I've been looking for it for a long time, please help me get it back." By the way, what are you doing in that apartment?"

"I didn't do anything, I just sat down. Zhou Shu said this with a little weakness, and then sat down against the head of the bed. He casually touched under the pillow and found a crumpled hundred-dollar note. He thought it was Yu Feiniao who fell, so he simply put it in his pocket.

When he got home, he didn't see Zhou Shize, and when he called to inquire, he found out that she seemed to have to work overtime to catch up with the manuscript, and she didn't know how much work there was. The cleaning of Yu Feiniao's apartment has ended, and the familiar and tidy appearance of Zhou Shu has been restored. However, she admits that if she lives alone, she will soon revert to the terrifying appearance of yesterday.

In Xiyuan Town, the White Moon Queen warband changed their banners to hide people's eyes, calling themselves the 'Moon King' warband, and joined the treasure hunting team as a guard.

The Golden Key Treasure Hunt is a fairly private team and doesn't have an official funder, at least that's what they say about Norrapoi.

Norrapoi is currently known as Boe, acting as the head of the regiment for the time being, and the deputy head is Rogerd.

Before, Zhou Shu and the sick princess said that they would let Roger temporarily act as the nominal head of the group, because he came earlier than Norrapoi, and the two looked more mature and reliable, so the one who arrived early was in charge. However, at this time of time, someone needs to stand up and negotiate business, and Norrapoi is more suitable, and Roger has no complaints about this. After all, he was born as a big-headed soldier, so he was naturally inferior to a businessman in terms of interpersonal communication, and he joined the White Moon Queen War Group not for the position of acting head of the regiment, but for the victory of the First Army.

He was now very sure that Zhou Shu and Ms. Flender had the power to give him what he wanted. So his whole mind is peaceful. Compared with his state when he was in the Tiger King War Regiment, all his goals at that time were the position of regiment commander, and his expectations were different, and his attitude towards the treatment gap was naturally different.

Noraboi himself took the initiative to ask everyone to let himself speak as the head of the group when facing the Golden Key Treasure Hunt Team. He did this because he had discovered something strange about the treasure hunt. Based on his years of experience as a businessman, there was no need for this team to spend a fortune to hire his own people as guards.

They set out from the town of Nishihara. The buying team that followed the treasure hunting team spent half a day in the nearby mountains, which is also the only place in the southwest of the entire Tiger Country with steep terrain.

The slope of the mountain was gentle, and the team marched quickly. When he saw the treasure hunt and the scale of the expedition they were on, Norapoi knew on his knees that the team was digging for something very valuable.

The number of members of the treasure hunting team itself is about twenty people, and at least 100 young men from Xiyuan Town are hired as laborers, and they are digging into the mountains. Among them were several southerners, who were tasked with breaking up the indestructible boulders that appeared along the road, using a very large metal excavation tool. It looks professional and expensive.

The cost of hiring only the staff would have been impossible for the average treasure hunt team to afford, and Norapoi could not have imagined what kind of eloquence it would take for the treasure hunt captain to convince the funders to invest in such a large-scale operation.

In the case of an ordinary team, only a small number of people should be hired to slowly excavate the mountain at the cost of additional man-hours, rather than being so impatient.

Judging by some of the rubble transported by the excavators, there is a man-made structure hidden in the mountain. Norapoi could not date these buildings. However, it is certain that the project is nearing completion.

At this juncture, it makes perfect sense to spend a lot of money hiring warriors as guards to protect the fruits of your labor. Considering the scale of this excavation. It is almost certain that the treasure hunt team has produced enough evidence that the harvest is definitely not expensive, and the output is so high that they can dig it at any cost.

The warriors who were invited to be the guards were not the only ones in the White Moon King's warband, and when Norrapoi and his party arrived, they were assigned to the guard's camp, where they met several other warriors. According to their description. There were already fifteen of them, and now they were digging the scene and keeping watch. Now there are six more, and the number has passed twenty.

Naturally, Heatherine was not a combatant, just a family member, but the size of twenty people was enough to form a group to participate in the Battle of the First Army.

"Come here. And even with a woman?" A warrior who had been hired earlier looked at Heatherine and shook his head with regret. "Haven't you heard that there have been victims among our escorts?"

Norapoi shook his head, saying that he had not heard of it, and that he would like to hear about it. The warrior didn't want to be troubled, but he didn't want these latecomers to be deceived by the treasure hunting team, so he hesitated for a while and talked a little.

The convoy had seventeen men, but one had died three days earlier while lazy in the woods, and the body was not found until evening. The wounds on the corpse were inflicted by sharp blades, there were no signs of a fight, and the dead warrior did not even draw his sword. In other words, if someone sneaks him to death, it may be that the other party is too powerful, but this possibility is relatively small.

The second deceased occurred that night, at an unknown time. The other guards thought he was asleep during the vigil and sat down by the fire. But when the bonfire went out at dawn, he sat in that position. When others shook him, he found that he had already cooled down.

The results of the inspection clearly showed that the victims had been killed by the same method, and that it was almost certain that someone in the treasure hunt was cleaning up the members of the convoy. Those who can do this kind of thing will only be internal ghosts.

Norapoi suddenly felt that the job didn't seem so simple, and some wanted to quit. He took his team to find a secluded place in the camp to discuss for a while, analyzing the current situation.

No one wants to give up this job opportunity to eat and live and get money, they have been deceived anyway, so it's good to be careful. Noraboi didn't really want to evacuate, and he believed that whoever wanted to attack the convoy must be aiming for some kind of treasure that was about to be unearthed.

Now that man had killed two warriors, the treasure hunt team had found five more warriors, but anyone who could count would probably not do this kind of trick again, and it would only make the treasure hunt team strengthen their defenses. Therefore, these people are actually relatively safe, and the only thing they need to worry about is the escort work after the treasure is unearthed.

In fact, their task is mainly in the escort aspect, and the usual camp management is in the responsibility of the previous soldiers.

After discussing it, everyone decided to continue to help the treasure hunting team, and everyone wanted to see what the hell these guys were digging up.

Mademoiselle Ellemy had heard that they were discovering the remains of the Southerners. Judging from the topography of this mountain, if this area was the border between the two countries 200 years ago, there must have been fortress-like buildings here. Maybe what was buried in the ground at this time was a bunker or something.

Generally speaking, where there are soldiers, there should be treasures to reward and motivate them, but the amount is not particularly large. Even if the southern army hadn't had time to evacuate back then, what was left behind should have been dug up a long time ago, so the treasure hunting team's own argument actually didn't work.

The White Moon Queen's warband was called in to work, and no one asked them to stand and chat. The organizer of the treasure hunt team, the captain, is a scruffy-looking middle-aged bearded man who looks like a possible bear in this mountain, and has a very strong physique.

He found Norapoi and wanted to assign them a task. As a businessman, Noraboi was not a good talker.

"Your Excellency, we have heard that there are two dead in the convoy. We've never heard of this before. ”

"Oh, yes, haven't you heard? ”

Norapoi nodded, didn't say anything more, and accepted the task honestly. He wasn't prepared to blackmail the money of other people's treasure hunting teams, and he didn't plan to increase his own salary. Anyway, they just want to find a place to spend the few days when Zhou Shu and the sick princess are away, and they are not ready to make a fortune with this job.

After talking, he had already determined the character of the captain, and he only revealed a little bit of coercion, and was soon counterattacked by the other party with rather rude expectations. It can be seen that this captain has a strong sense of confrontation and is reckless. If Noraboi was a young and vigorous young man, he might have been killed by such a murder and left directly, and the loss was on the side of the treasure hunting team. You don't usually need to be too serious to work under this kind of person, and if you do, you will be instructed by your boss to jump into the fire pit.

As the acting captain, Noraboi is ready to make a mess, and he is not prepared to die for this treasure hunt team for a little money. (To be continued......)
