Past years

【twelve】

"Dong dong dong." There were three dull slams on the door, obviously the sound can only be made when the high-quality teak wood is knocked. "Young Master, the warehouse lost something again." It was the butler Luo Er who came in.

He frowned. "What's going on? What is it this time?"

"It's not something precious, it's just that the craftsmanship is hard to find in the world." Luo Er nodded slightly, "There is a box with Xie Jiuye's handwritten letter."

He was taken aback.Xie Jiu's handwritten letter?In fact, he didn't know what the content of the letter was, after all, it happened nearly a hundred years ago; he only knew that it was put in a dragon pattern box by grandma and locked after grandpa disappeared.

This is the second theft this month.The last time was two weeks ago, and I lost something of no practical value but of great significance to the Xie family.It was a keepsake, a white jade pendant, originally a male and female bibi, and the Xie family had a female bibi. I only heard that if someone with a male bibi came to ask for help, the Xie family had to do their part and go all out regardless of the reason.In the same way, if he encounters a hard nut to crack again, Xie can also take out the female wall to try.It is said that this is an old thing handed down from the ancestors, and the specific owner of the other party, because Xie Jiu disappeared that year, no one can remember it until now.It can only be said that it is stored in the warehouse, and it has always been a thought; but if it has to say what effect it has, it seems that it has never been used.

"Luo'er, from today onwards, you will personally guard the warehouse gate. If there is any change, please report to me immediately."

"Yes."

"I don't want to hear about a third such situation, get it?"

"Luo Er will definitely do his best."

The butler had just left the study when the blind man came in. "Anything bothering you?"

"It's nothing." He opened the teacup and took a sip, "Has Mr. Hei been to the warehouse recently?"

"Warehouse?" He was stunned for a moment, "Aren't you the most precious of your warehouse? I haven't fought or liquidated it recently, so why should I go there when I'm idle and have nothing to do?"

"It's fine if you don't go." Xie Dangjia put down his teacup, and the dense water vapor made it hard to see what kind of expression was hidden under that flowery beauty. "If you are idle recently, stay indoors more and don't run around."

"Heh, look at what Master Hua said, I'm not a child anymore." The blind man wrapped his arms around his shoulders, resting his chin on the shoulder socket of the person in front of him; then he moved his other hand up in the opposite direction restlessly. .The whole person was leaning on Xie Yuhua like a coquettish big dog, his knuckles slid across the other's collarbone, and the light breath between the words disturbed the fine fluff on the pinna——

"Actually, it doesn't matter what happens, the most important thing is that you just trust me."

late at night.Xie Yuhua was awakened by a sudden knock on the door——

"Master Huaer!" The voice was deliberately lowered, showing extra worry and anxiety, "I just took care of it, and when I got back, I found that the warehouse door had been opened!"

"Have you gone in?" While speaking, Xie Yuhua had put on her upper body and put on her sandals.The speed of the action made people have to look at him with admiration, and he was indeed a master.

"Not yet. I don't dare to act rashly, so I came here to ask you what you mean..."

"Let's go and have a look together."

"Do you want to call someone else?"

"Farewell first."

However, when they arrived at the warehouse door, the door was closed tightly, and the door knocker was tightly buckled with a big lock.

"Hey, why did this happen?" Luo Er was shocked, "Could it be that the person has already run away after getting the thing?"

But it shouldn't be.From the time he came to knock on the door until Xie Dangjia appeared here with him, it was only a minute.No matter how fast the speed is, it will leave clues.What's more, Jiejia's lock is not so easy to open.Even if it is really opened, there are still layers of protective alarms inside, and it is absolutely impossible to get it so easily.

"Could it be that you read it wrong?" Jie Yuhua suspiciously picked up the outermost padlock and checked it carefully, but found nothing.

"Absolutely impossible! Luo Er swears on his life that he has never told a half lie..." But before he finished speaking, Xie Yuhua blocked his mouth——

"Shh." The other party put his index finger on the tip of his lips, made a silent gesture, and then told him in sign language, "There is movement behind the warehouse. Let's outflank it."

He nodded, and went around to the other side without saying a word.

However, the moment they saw the black shadow clearly, they all opened their mouths in surprise——

"Master Hei?! Why are you here...?"

The black blind man turned around, with half-slip flip flops on his feet: "Oh, it's just getting up at night. I heard something strange outside the door, so I chased it out to have a look. I saw a vague figure on the side of the warehouse, but The speed is too fast, and it has already disappeared by the time it catches up."

"Shadow?"

"I'm not sure if it's a human figure or my illusion, but it's fine anyway."

"Is it okay?..." Xie Yuhua pondered the meaning of his words, "You mean, when you came here, the warehouse door was closed? There are no signs of damage around?"

"Of course. Could it be that someone really went in?"

"The master..." Luo'er was on the side, with a panicked look on his face.

"...Okay. You all go to rest first. I'll sit here alone for a while." I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Xie Yuhua frowned slightly, and looked at the wall; Unconsciously hanging repeatedly.

It was just now that the night was still bright and bright, and the light was like the ocean.But at this moment, the wind came from nowhere, pushing a cloud, drifting past, and covering the crescent moon.

The light dimmed in an instant.

【fourteen】

Is it really such a coincidence?He thought to himself, and suddenly thought of a small piece of rag that Luo Er handed him a few days ago—"Master Hua, this is the remnant of fabric found on the glass shards on the wall. It is suspected to be left by the culprit who stole the warehouse. Master Hua You just need to pay attention to…”

He waved his hand, indicating that the other party can withdraw.Luo Er leaned over slightly to make a gesture, and then quickly closed the door behind her.Xie Yuhua looked at the black cloth on the corner of the table and lowered her eyes.No need to get started, he just glanced at it and recognized it.Because it is too familiar, there are not many people in Xiejiahui who wear black clothes all day long.What's more, the material is obviously a vest that is worn close to the body... He recalled the look of that guy leaning against his door with an innocent face yesterday afternoon——

"Oh, I'm still busy. Come on, have a snack before continuing~"

He lowered his head and flipped through the last few approval slips in his hand, "Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon."

"This is the sesame and crabapple cake specially made by Aunt Su. You smell it, is it delicious~"

"Stop rambling... Seeing how anxious you are, you can't help but eat first. You won't die of hunger at Xie's house."

"All right, my lord has a lot, so I don't care about it with you." Before Xie Yuhua could react, she was fed a piece of crabapple crisps into her mouth, "Master Hua didn't even look at me for a few pages of torn paper. There is no time for a glance, which is really chilling."

A smile crept up to the corner of Xie Dangjia's mouth unconsciously, and he couldn't help slipping out from the cracks in his lips: "I see you? Then who will help me solve this?"

"As the saying goes, to be happy in life is to be full of joy, and a flower to bloom can be broken until it is broken..." Just as the blind man was shaking his head and pretending to have a thousand volumes of books in his stomach, he was suddenly stunned by Xie Yuhua. "Ouch~ Master Hua'er has lost his head recently." Although it hurts, what he said didn't mean to blame at all, he just pretended to cover his arm, pretending to beg for sympathy.

"Really?" Anyone could hear the meaning of ridicule, but Xie Dangjia would not take such a trick.He raised his head, and his bright smile was like an invisible sharp knife unsheathed, "I missed the aim, so it seems that I need to practice a few more times."

"Master Hua'er, spare me, Master Hua'er~ I don't dare, I don't dare..."

The two pretended to play around for a while, and then Xie Yuhua realized: "Hey, why are you wearing a shirt today?" Instead, he felt a little uncomfortable wearing this kind of shirt that had to be buttoned up.

"A few days ago, the vest that was hanging in the yard was blown away by the wind, so I had to take out the clothes at the bottom of the box. What's the matter? Master Hua didn't think it looked good?" , raised his elbows on the tall stack of documents, and looked at Xie Yuhua with great interest.

"No. It's just..." He was at a loss for words for a moment, but he couldn't think of any words to answer.There are very few in this world who can wear such a bohemian feeling in a neat and decent shirt.

But the person on the other side looked as happy as a child getting candy, "Since it's not, then I'll take it as a disguised admission. Master Hua thinks it looks good, so I will wear shirts every day from now on~"

"Go aside. Give me less poverty here~"

……

It was obviously a very hilarious scene, but thinking about it now made him sweat coldly.Whether Hei Xiazi's vest was really lost, or if there was something else behind it, I'm afraid it's hard to tell.
