Chapter 33: The Book Is Lost
Guanshan Garden
The most famous villa area in the southern city.
In the center of the villa area, the most luxurious villa is a somewhat classical European-style building, which is not as ostentatious and luxurious as imagined, but low-key and extraordinary.
Inside the gate, there is a well-groomed and beautiful garden, a stone road leads to the main entrance of the villa, and the door handle of Shuanglong hovering is simple and atmospheric.
The hall on the first floor of the villa was still lit, and the snake ghost just hung up Hua Biao's phone, raised his hand and took a cup of freshly brewed tea to listen to the news from his subordinates.
"Boss, let Xue Kaiyan run away, our people... All dead! ”
The snake ghost looked clear, "I didn't plan to do anything to him, this little battle can't scare him." ”
said, sighed again, "Alas, it's a pity, such a talent can't be used by me, so I can only find a way to destroy it, it's a pity." ”
"Boss, it's a disaster for someone like this to keep him, let's think of a way to kill him—" The man gestured.
The snake ghost laughed and put down the teacup, "Who are you to think of him?" An average high school student? You're so capable, go and give him to me. ”
The person standing hung his head suddenly, "Boss, it's a little reckless, so what should I do next?" ”
"Don't worry about this matter, by the way, Brother Jiu will be back in two days, and I have to prepare a reception banquet for him."
Yejiu, the snake ghost's right-hand man, was sent abroad two months ago to deal with a batch of important goods.
"Yes, boss, the little one will go down and prepare." He turned around and was about to retreat, but after taking two steps back, he suddenly remembered something, and turned back again, "By the way, boss, there is one more thing, the person who went to clean up the scene came back and said that he found a book there." ”
"Books?"
Hearing that he seemed to be interested, the man hurriedly called for someone to take the book out.
The snake ghost took the book, rubbed it repeatedly, and his eyes slowly became a little amazing, he has always liked to collect some things that are eye-catching, it doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, he is happy.
The book was clearly a good fit for him, and it was even more to his liking than the book he had retracted at a high price.
"It's a good book." He flipped through it several times, especially the intricate patterns on the paper, the more he looked at it, the more surprising it became.
Finding that the pages of the book were locked with a lock and unable to read the contents, he tried several times, but he really couldn't open it, and he was afraid that the book would be damaged, so he had to give up.
"Was this found at the scene?"
"Yes."
Could it be Xue Kaiyan's thing? He also carries a book with him? The snake ghost felt a little surprised, but now that this book is in the hands of his snake ghost, it is his snake ghost's thing.
"I'm going to find a good locksmith tomorrow."
lost the book, Su Yueling was really a little broken, thinking about the urine nature of the book, in addition to looking like a book, which can barely be used as an ornament, how can there be any other book, and she also locked herself, and she couldn't open it.
If this is picked up and forcibly opened, or it really can't be opened, and it is taken and burned, oh my God, I don't know if this stinky book will die, if it has something to do, how will she complete the task! How do you go back!!
The scene was not found, it is very likely that it was taken by others, except for the dead, there are only a few people alive, it is not the dragon head who took it, right?
Yes or no, you can only go to the hospital and ask the faucet on the second day.
Xue Kaiyan took her back to the community, and she was absent-minded all the way.
"Here we are." If he hadn't reminded her, she would still be sitting in the passenger seat.
Seeing that she got out of the car in a daze, Xue Kaiyan restarted the car, "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, come to the gate and wait." ”
Su Yueling let out an "ah" before she realized his intentions, was he going to take her to the hospital! She felt the radiance of kindness envelop him again!
"Okay! I'll be on time! Thank you! ”
The car started slowly, and Su Yueling heard the last sentence he said, "No thanks, good daughter." ”
“......”
Almost all night without sleep.
At eight o'clock the next day, Su Yueling packed up and went to the gate of the community to wait for Xue Kaiyan.
Xue Kaiyan got up and opened the curtains, and looked down, there was a familiar little figure at the gate, pacing back and forth.
He stood and watched for a while, and outside the door, Black walked into the bedroom with his own rice bowl in his mouth, squatted on the edge of the bed and looked at him, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he drew the curtain and turned to feed the dog.
At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, although the golden light of the sun had already shone on the earth, the temperature was still a little cold, Su Yueling wore a pair of shorts, and froze a little goosebumps.
A black sedan was parked at the gate.
Su Yueling immediately got into the car.
Because the incident site is close to the Affiliated Hospital of Nancheng Central Hospital, the injured were all sent to the affiliated hospital, and the size of the hospital is much smaller than that of Nancheng Central Hospital.
Su Yueling inquired about the patient's situation last night and came to the ward on the second floor of the inpatient department, and the faucet wrapped in white gauze on her head was lying in the ward very conspicuous.
Seeing Su Yueling, the dragon head was taken aback, and when he saw Xue Kaiyan behind her, the dragon head immediately tensed his nerves.
Fortunately, Xue Kaiyan just walked in the door and smelled the smell of disinfectant water, and immediately frowned and turned around to go outside the door.
"You... How did you guys get here..? "I didn't come to see him.
The dragon head only suffered a few skin injuries and could be discharged from the hospital after two days of recuperation.
Su Yueling approached him in a few steps and asked anxiously, "That, big brother, are you okay?" Without waiting for the dragon leader to answer, she asked herself and continued: "It should be okay to see you like this, so did you see a book in the factory yesterday?" ”
Faucet: "...... No. ”
Book? What book? Who the fights and still carries a book??
No!!?
Su Yueling asked again, "Are you thinking about it?" Right by the window, not far from you, a special book! ”
What a mess, the dragon head still shook his head, "If you say no, you don't, Lao Tzu has a headache when he looks at the book." ”
Okay, she believes him.
Su Yueling's shoulders drooped down, and the people at the scene were dead and injured, except for the dragon's head that could still move, it was impossible for anyone else to get the books.
She can now conclude that her books are really lost.
"Rest well, big brother, goodbye."
She walked out a little dejected, Xue Kaiyan leaned against the door, and knew that the situation was not good when she came out.
Where will it go?
None of the people Su Yueling knew who had been to the scene took it, so it couldn't have been her own, right? Could it really be that it ran away on its own? Just because you forgot it there?
Su Yueling thought about the temperament of the book, and felt that this idea was very possible, thinking of its usual appearance of thunder at the slightest thing, Su Yueling could only think of it running away by herself, maybe it was floating in the living room at home waiting for her.
All the way home, both of them had their own ideas, Su Yueling guessed if the books would have gone home by themselves, while Xue Kaiyan expected who would take the books, after all, they could go to such a remote place so late, except for them, there was only one possibility.
The snake ghost is a very precious book, and the book is placed in the most conspicuous position on the bookshelf in the study, and the bottom is set off with a solid wood base, which makes the book more mysterious and extraordinary.
Outside the bookshelf is a layer of clean and clear protective glass to prevent the book from falling dust, and it is because of this layer of glass that the book cannot escape by itself, after all, its physical body is indeed a book.
Shushu looked at the negligible transparent glass in front of him, and cursed Su Yueling in his heart, this woman with a lack of brains! Actually forgot such a handsome and chic book in the Flying Factory!? I don't know if she reacted now that she lost something!
As soon as it was dawn, he ordered someone to bring a locksmith.
Master Yang has been unlocking for 40 years, and he has seen countless locks, but when he touched the lock on the book, he had to look at it again and again, frowning.
The snake ghost sat on the sofa, although Master Yang wore gloves and checked the books and books were gentle and meticulous, but the snake ghost was still not very happy.
He sat on the dark sandalwood chair next to the desk, waited for a while, and his tone was a little impatient, "I've been watching it for a long time, are you optimistic?" How, will it work? ”
Master Yang put down the book lightly and shook his head, "This boss, I'm really embarrassed, I've been unlocking for more than 40 years, and I've never seen such a special lock." ”
The snake ghost took the book and rubbed the mysterious pattern on the writing with his palm, "Then what do you mean, you just can't open it?" ”
"It's okay to open it, but I'm afraid of ruining the book, which won't be good."
The snake ghost thought for a while, raised his hand and waved, and the people standing on the side immediately sent Master Yang away.
"It's a pity." The snake ghost looked at the book and said to himself, "It's a pity that I can't know the contents of this book." ”
After holding it for a while, he stood up and walked out of the study door with the book, and said to the person guarding the door, "Expand the scope to find the locksmith, I will open this lock intact." ”
He took the books to his bedroom, found someone to make a clear crystal box with a gold frame carved with ancient Sanskrit, and placed the books in the crystal box and placed them at the head of the bed.
Shushu sighed, and finally knew the meaning of the sentence that mortals often said that the golden nest and the silver nest were not as good as their own kennels, or Su Yueling's balcony was comfortable to live on, and here, there was not even a single sun.
It's so handsome, it's its fault!
Su Yueling rushed back home in a hurry, and as soon as she opened the door, the living room was deserted, and there was not even a shadow of a book.
"Books? Uncle Book? Book immortals? Are you back? I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forgotten you in the factory, if you come back, jump out and scold me! ”
The only thing that answered her was the sound of a clock hanging on the wall, ticking to tell her that there were indeed no books in the room.
She collapsed on the couch weakly, and now she really didn't know what to do, she had searched all the places and people she should find, and the books were still nowhere to be found.
Sending Su Yueling back to the community, Xue Kaiyan turned his head and went to the floating world.
The snake ghost gave him such a big gift, how can he do it.
