"Where did this come from?" Xu Mo took the ten-yuan bill and asked Xiaoqing, who spit out the snake letter, but couldn't speak.

Xu Mo had to put away the ten-yuan banknote, for others, this ten yuan is of course nothing, but for Xu Mo at this time, it is tantamount to rain from heaven.

For many days after that, Xiaoqing would bring back a ten-yuan bill every day, but Xu Mo couldn't help but be secretly worried.

This money was obviously stolen back by Xiaoqing from someone else, if it was found and killed or injured, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

He repeatedly warned Xiaoqing not to bring money back from outside, but Xiaoqing didn't understand his words at all, and remained the same.

On this day, what Xu Mo was worried about finally happened, when Xiaoqing stole money, he was beaten in the tail.

When Xu Mo returned home, he was depressed, lying on the pillow with his eyes closed, hearing the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced at Xu Mo, spit out the snake letter, and immediately closed his eyes, it seemed that it was a little difficult to even open his eyes.

Xu Mo took it in his hand, put it on his chest, and gently stroked its wounds, pity and heartache. I went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine to put it on and bandaged the wound.

He was sick himself and was reluctant to take medicine, but he couldn't bear to watch Xiaoqing suffer. At this time, in his heart, Xiaoqing seemed to be his relative.

Xiaoqing's injuries were not serious, and after a few days, she was all healed. Xu Mo was worried that it would run out of the city to steal money again, so he ruthlessly locked it up for a few days. Xiaoqing learned this lesson, and seemed to be frightened, and when Xu Mo let go of it, he didn't steal money again.

Soon, more than a month has passed since Xu Mo returned from Beishan, and in this more than a month, although Xu Mo's job is still unsettled, he has found a few part-time jobs, earned hundreds of yuan, and his life has improved a lot, and even this month's rent has been paid.

It's just that although he has made money, he has also found some clues in his cultivation of quiet breathing, but he is not in a hurry to buy quilts. He was very curious in his heart, wanting to see if this quiet breath could really be successfully cultivated, and what would it be like after cultivation? Is it just that he is not afraid of the cold?

Xiaoqing feeds on poisonous powder, and every two or three days, he will secrete ambergris, leaving dream powder on the green fruit, Xu Mo carefully scrapes it off and collects it separately, so as not to mix it with the one he brought back from Beishan.

It's a pity that the dream powder that Xu Mo brought back from Beishan has been used almost, and Xiaoqing doesn't secrete much dream powder every time, which is not enough for him to use for a day, as for the poison powder that Xiaoqing uses as food, it won't be long before it will be consumed. At that time, the source of dream powder will be completely cut off.

In addition, in the exploration of quiet breathing, Xu Mo also found something that gave him a great headache. When he took the dream powder, when he took quiet breathing, with the acceleration of breathing, the acceleration of blood circulation, the expansion of pores around the body, and a large amount of energy in the body was consumed, and the heat emitted by the energy consumption was accompanied by his rapid breathing, through the respiratory system and the pores around the body, emitting from the body and wasting it.

So much so that when Xu Mo ran to breathe quietly every night, he had to eat something to replenish his energy. This made all the money he had earned so hard to spend in it.

So, when he buys food, he can only choose some cheap or discounted food, but despite this, it is still not enough.

But for a while, he had no way to think about it, unless he could control his breathing while the blood circulation accelerated, let the breathing become slow, and at the same time, through the blood circulation, indirectly affect the expansion of his pores, and intercept the part of the heat that was originally emitted in the body.

This may sound very simple in theory, but there is no way to do it until you actually practice still breathing.

Although he had fully mastered the principle of static breathing, he always felt that something was missing, so that he could not break through, which made his heart very impatient, and he had no intention of doing anything for many days.

On this morning, he went out to look for work, thinking about breathing, and at noon, he couldn't help but return home.

When I went up the stairs, I saw a young woman, Xu Mo had never seen it before, and she should have moved in newly.

Xu Mo couldn't help but glance at her, the young woman was of medium height, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, holding a baby in her left hand, carrying a large suitcase more than one meter high in her right hand, and a backpack on her back.

The big suitcase was very heavy at first glance, and the young woman was sweating profusely, carrying the big suitcase, and with every step, she stopped and climbed upstairs with difficulty.

Xu Moton felt compassion, stepped forward, and reached out to take the big suitcase. The young woman was stunned for a moment, and then thanked her again and again, her tone was very sincere, but she was very tired and a little panting when she spoke.

Xu Mo asked, "Just moved here?"

The young woman reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled, "Yes." She looked average, but she had just sweated, the hair on her forehead and sideburns was wet, and her smile looked a little charming.

Xu Mo asked casually, the young woman's name was Qin Ruolan, and she was living next door to him.

Xu Mo helped her drag her suitcase into the house. Inside the house, it was almost cleaned up, Qin Ruolan put the child on the bed, took off the backpack, turned around, and said politely to Xu Mo: "Xie Lu Xie, there is water in the box, I'll help you get it." ”

Xu Mo hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't bother." As he spoke, he was about to exit the room when he inadvertently glanced at the baby on the bed and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The baby was chubby, biting his fingers, staring at Xu Mo with a pair of dark eyes, looking very curious.

This child seems to be the one in the Book of Revelation. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately stopped what he had just taken. Qin Ruolan opened the suitcase, took out a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Xu Mo, "Drink water." ”

"Thank you. Xu Mo took it, pretended to be indifferent, and asked, "How old is the child?"

Qin Ruolan glanced back at her child, with a loving look on her face, "It's only been six months." ”

"Boy or girl?" Xu Mo said again.

Qin Ruolan smiled and said, "It's a boy." As he spoke, he picked up the child and said to Xu Mo, "Do you want to hug it?"

Xu Mo glanced at the baby, the baby was smiling at him, the smile was indescribably innocent and lovely, this smile made Xu Mo's heart warm, and he couldn't help but question: This child is so cute, how can it be in danger?

Hearing Qin Ruolan's inquiry, she responded: "Don't want it, I'm clumsy, don't drop the child." Then he praised, "The child is so cute." ”

Qin Ruolan smiled: "Xie Lu, thank you." "When people praise her as a child, of course she's happy.

Xu Mo glanced at the baby in her arms again, and then said, "What about the child's father, why is it that you are the only one who has such a big thing to move?"

When Qin Ruolan heard this, her face suddenly became gloomy, as if she remembered something sad, and bowed her head and said nothing.

When Xu Mo saw her face, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Qin Ruolan smiled bitterly, seemed to realize her gaffe, and shook her head, "It doesn't matter, it's just that I don't want to face it, it's not a big deal to say it, the child's father disappeared three months ago." ”

Missing!

Xu Mo couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered his parents. The year he graduated, his parents also disappeared, and there has been no news so far. Is there a connection between these two things?

He thought for a moment and asked, "How did the child's father go missing?

Qin Ruolan sighed, "Why don't you look for it?" I have searched all the places I can think of, where did I find it?" There was a strong sense of sadness and helplessness in her tone.

Xu Mo then said: "How did he go missing? Did you call the police, are you sure he is missing?"

Qin Ruolan glanced at him suspiciously, a little inexplicable about his curiosity.

Xu Mo smiled awkwardly and hurriedly explained: "I just think it's strange, in a big city, how can you disappear for no reason." The news of his parents' disappearance was concealed and he did not tell the other party.

Qin Ruolan sighed: "If it was missing in the city, maybe it would have been found a long time ago." In fact, although I know a little about what happened before his disappearance, I don't know exactly how and where he disappeared. ”

"Oh!" Xu Mo looked at her strangely, "Can you tell me about it?"

Qin Ruolan nodded, a look of remembrance on her face, "That was three months ago. The child's father, well, my husband is a graphic designer and doesn't get paid much, and I'm just an ordinary worker in a paper mill who is paid a little less than him. ”

"Housing prices are relatively expensive in big cities, and relying on the salaries of him and me alone, even if I work for the rest of my life, I can't afford to buy a house. So since last year, he has been hooked on the welfare lottery, he doesn't buy much, but he buys one bet every day. He is a science student, good at mathematics, and people are more cautious, every time before buying a lottery ticket, he will use the method of probability theory to calculate it, and select a few numbers that he thinks are more likely to win, and then he will buy them. But he never counted accurately, at most he only won once, or five dollars. ”

"It's probably a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."Qin Ruolan thought for a while, and finally determined the date, "On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, no, the seventh day of the first month, at noon on the seventh day of the first month, he received a text message from an unknown source, the content of the text message includes a set of numbers, and the most lull told him that this set of numbers is the winning number of the next period, as long as he buys a lottery ticket according to this set of data, he can win the lottery, although the grand prize may not be, it is still possible to win hundreds of thousands." ”

"Of course my husband didn't believe it, thinking that someone was joking with him, if this set of numbers could win the lottery, why didn't the person who sent the text message buy it himself?"

"After the most he still bought the lottery according to the results calculated by himself, the result was that on the day of the lottery, he still did not win, not even a number, but the number on the strange text message was won, if he bought the lottery according to the number on the text message, that note can probably win nearly 500,000. ”
