Chapter 15: The Empty Number

What is a friend? Yuyang doesn't have a clear concept, she only roughly knows that Shu Yu and Brother Jiang, who get along day and night and have a good relationship, are friends, and the person in front of her is a friend? Only then did Yu Yang suddenly remember that he didn't even know his name.

Yu Yang looked at him embarrassedly and muttered, "But...... But I don't even know what your name is. ”

"Ayo." Ling Tian didn't think about it, and casually took the name of a historical figure he had just seen in the book.

"Ayo?" Yu Yang thought, he didn't say his full name, could it be that there was something inconvenient?

"Know my name, I'll be your friend, Yuyang."

A sudden call interrupted Yu Yang's thoughts, she looked up at him, although his expression was still not easy to get close to, but Yu Yang suddenly found that he seemed to be his first friend in this Ruian City except for Xiaoqing.

"I ...... I know. Yu Yang replied in a low voice, and hurriedly looked at the lights of the turbid city in the distance, the air suddenly became quiet, and both of them looked into the distance and were silent.

Ling Tian thought about what she had just said, and seemed to mention her parents, thinking that this was a key clue, so she broke the silence and asked her, "You just said that you can't contact your parents?" ”

"Huh?" Seeing that he mentioned the things that bothered him the most, Yu Yang opened the conversation box again, and said, "Yes, they didn't give me a chance to say goodbye to my parents when I left, and so much time has passed since today, and I didn't reply to the letter...... Call...... Also ......"

"Can't get through?"

Speaking of this, Yu Yang blushed and said, "Telephone...... Telephones are also ...... It won't work. ”

Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing, his background is naturally not strange to the phone, where does he understand the hardships of Yuyang living on a small island, he has never seen anything, but he didn't mean to laugh at Yuyang, he just thought it was funny.

"You! What are you laughing at? ”

"Come to Yuge, I'll teach you."

I just wanted to blame him, but as soon as I heard that he had a call, Yuyang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, nodded his head like pounding garlic, lifted his skirt and ran to the room. Ling Tian also returned to the study, and "dug out" the phone on the desktop that was buried in the pile of books, and just cleaned it up, Yu Yang was already panting at the door of the study, happily stepping to the table, looking directly at the phone with his eyes, and said, "Strange, I didn't see the phone on the table that day." ”

Ling Tian was lazy to put the book back after reading it, and it became a mountain of books in a pile, covering the phone, he was a little embarrassed, and urged her to say: "How many phone numbers, do you know?" ”

"Hmmm! I know, it's just that no matter how I press those numbers, I don't move. ”

"Well, like me." Ling Tian leaned sideways on the desk, put his finger into a hole, pulled the turntable to turn to the pointer, and let go of the turntable and sent it back, "This completes the first number, and the following numbers are the same, just toggle it." ”

Yu Yang suddenly realized, clapped his hands and shouted, "I see! Then he took the microphone and was about to start toggling the turntable, but Ling Tian hurriedly stopped: "Hang up first." ”

"Huh? Miscellaneous...... What hangs up? ”

"Hang up, put the handset down."

"Oooh! Put it down, huh? So, Yu Yang held the microphone in his hand and put it on the table, looked at Ling Tian in a daze, and asked, "And then?" ”

Ling Tian saw that she was holding the earpiece tightly in her hand, and she was reluctant to let go at all, and looked at herself nervously and a little stupidly, she couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, and didn't think much about it, reached out and held the back of her hand, grabbed her hand and the microphone, and hung the microphone on the stand on the phone.

With just such a small movement, Yu Yang's face turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Ling Tian didn't think about it that much, but continued: "Now it's okay, pick up the microphone again and flip the dial." ”

Yu Yang nodded stiffly, clenched the microphone tightly, and finally dialed the phone at home according to what Ling Tian said, looking forward to the voice of his mother or father that he had not seen for a long time.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the other end of the phone, and there was no human voice, and it took a long time for "toot" to ring, which scared Yuyang.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be connected to the phone, she looked puzzled again, and asked hurriedly, "Can't you get through?" ”

"Hmm...... It's weird. ”

"How many calls, I'll try it."

Yu Yang handed the microphone to Ling Tian and said, "Three-six-six, five-zero-five." ”

Ling Tian took the microphone and dialed the number skillfully, but the sound from there was the same as just now, Ling Tian felt strange, and tried several times in a row, but there was still no change.

"Are you sure the number is not wrong?" As soon as Ling Tian said this, Yu Yang realized the seriousness of the problem and said anxiously: "Do you treat people as stupid!" How can you make a mistake with such a simple number? ”

Ling Tian was silent, thought for a moment and asked her, "Did anyone call this when you were at home?" ”

"Of course!" "My dad is a doctor on the island, and although the phone doesn't ring often, it does get through. What does that beep sound on the phone mean? ”

Ling Tian didn't want to shatter Yuyang's hope of contacting the family, but at this time, he was also confused, so he had to say directly: "That number...... does not exist. ”

This sentence made Yu Yang feel as if he had been hit in the head by thunder, blank, and only muttered and repeated: "Impossible, how is it possible?" Yu Yang pondered for a long time, and asked Ling Tian again, "Are you sure this is a number that doesn't exist?" ”

"Well, it's not that you can't get through, it's not that no one answers, it's that you don't have this number."

After speaking, both of them looked at the phone on the table in silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

Yu Yang's thoughts have already been confused by this suspicious thing one after another, if this number does not exist at all, then why can someone get through to the phone at home? Maybe her father told her the wrong number? Or maybe you're mistaken? The more Yu Yang thought about it, the more he doubted himself.

"Letter...... I still have a letter to send, and I may be able to find a messenger and inquire about the whereabouts of the reply while I am going to the city this time. Yuyang muttered to herself, and Ling Tian asked her, "Are you going to the city?" ”

Being asked by Ling Tian, Yu Yang's thoughts returned to reality, she looked at Ling Tian, suddenly remembered Madame's words, hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, Madame asked me to go to the city to purchase fabrics, and asked me to find someone to go with, that ...... You...... Are you free tomorrow? ”

"Tomorrow?" Ling Tian thought about it, and just happened to be on vacation by the king, so he replied, "I am free." ”

"That's great, ask the messenger tomorrow, and maybe get a reply. Then tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, we will gather at the entrance of Yuge! ”

Ling Tian didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed to her: "Hmm." ”

Although I couldn't get through to the phone at home, I was able to solve the problem of going out to the city and no one to lead the way.

"Then it's decided, I won't bother you today, I'll go back first, and I'll see you tomorrow!" After speaking, Yu Yang jumped happily and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ling Tian: "Wait a minute." ”

"Huh?"

Ling Tian walked up to her, saw her unprepared and innocent appearance, shook his head and asked her, "Just leave, what are you going to do?" ”

"Ready?"

"I'm going to the city, it's too eye-catching to wear this Yao suit, I have to change into regular clothes, didn't you just say that the only regular clothes were also taken away?"

Being reminded by Ling Tian, Yu Yang remembered such an important matter, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you ...... I'm going to borrow one from someone else? ”

"Your maids?"

Yu Yang nodded.

"Keeping regular clothes is a big crime for them, don't ask, don't worry about them."

Yuyang was taken aback and almost got into trouble again. But she doesn't seem to have any other way than to borrow clothes from the maid, what should she do?

Seeing Yu Yang's sad face, Ling Tian didn't hang her appetite anymore: "My eldest sister used to be about the same size as you, wait until I go find a set of clothes left by her and let someone send them to you." ”

"Your ...... Sister? ”

Ling Tian was too relaxed, forgetting that he was now the little Yu Pavilion administrator, and realizing that he was almost exposed, he hurriedly turned his back and said nervously: "Anyway, you go back first, see you tomorrow." ”

Yu Yang was not a curious person either, so he stopped asking, happily said goodbye to him, and left Yu Pavilion.

After Yuyang left for a while, Ling Tian called to Anli Building, asked the maid to send regular clothes to Yuyang, hung up the phone, and suddenly remembered the place name that Yuyang had just mentioned, thinking that this may be an important clue, but he searched in his mind and did not seem to have such a place name, and he never forgot that he thought that he was not good at learning, and immediately went downstairs to find the whole map of Wanting, and laid out the map in the study, and spent an hour, carefully searched along the coast more than a dozen times, but could not find a place called Nianping Island at all.

Tonight's suspiciousness made Ling Tian even more convinced of his judgment, she must not be a simple female official of the Inner Dynasty.

"Nianping Island ......" Ling Tian muttered, thinking about the various possibilities in it, and left Yu Pavilion.
