When the magic flower blooms

Get away from the hustle and bustle and forget about your troubles.The days on Yinshan are always happy and carefree.

He Tiansi at least needs to practice daily and study hard; as a guardian, Ming Ruoxing sleeps until the sun rises every day, eats ready-made meals for three meals a day, and takes Boss Bai for a walk in the nearby mountains when he is bored. Strolling around is really as leisurely as a vacation.

But such a good day only lasted for five days.

Five days later, an email from the Asian Security Bureau completely interrupted Ming Ruoxing's leisure life.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a year since he fulfilled his duties as He Tiansi's guardian.According to relevant regulations, Ming Ruoxing must submit an annual report on He Tiansi's current situation before the anniversary.If it fails the review or violates the regulations, there is also the possibility of being deprived of guardianship in theory.

This is exactly where the problem lies—Ming Ruoxing urgently needs to fabricate an annual report that is at least superficially normal and harmless.

Considering that many physical materials and bills are kept at home.It is obviously unrealistic to continue to complete the report on the mountain.After struggling all night, Ming Ruoxing still decided that work was important, so he found an excuse and took Boss Bai back to Jinyu Village first.

Of course He Tiansi had no objection, and by the way, he threw a large bag of unwashed clothes to him.

The two of them broke up temporarily.Ming Ruoxing drove back to the village and began to devote himself to the paperwork that caused him a lot of headaches.

A week later, the report was concocted and was hastily submitted before stepping on the deadline.However, he was called back only two days later, saying that he was suspected of intentionally sabotaging the underground facilities of Jinyu Village, and asked him to explain the situation in detail and evaluate the safety status of the underground facilities.

In order to prove that he absolutely did not cause any damage, Ming Ruoxing had to move the heavy coffin again and enter the dark and deep tunnel—and this time he was alone.

But it was also this walk that made him discover some new situations that might not have been discovered before.

Before he and He Tiansi left the underground waterway for the last time, for safety reasons, simple reinforcement measures were made for the underground iron gate.But at the moment, all these reinforcement measures seem to have been pried open.

Not only that, after targeted further investigation, he also found several clear footprints at the bottom of the deep pool after it dried up.Judging from the shoe prints and size, it was definitely not him or any of He Tiansi.

So, who broke in here?Ordinary humans or demihumans like them?What is the purpose?And how did he or she learn the secret about this underground waterway?

Rich anti-reconnaissance experience made Ming Ruoxing alert, and immediately speculated in the most extreme direction.

Could it be that someone is secretly watching his life with He Tiansi?

To corroborate this somewhat creepy answer.Ming Ruoxing immediately started the experiment—in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he deliberately spent several hours turning off the power of all electrical appliances in the house and temporarily shutting down all the intelligent systems in batches.

After that, the ammeter, which was supposed to be completely still, was still beating continuously.

That's right, the safe house is not safe, someone has installed a wiretapping surveillance device.

Ming Ruoxing is very clear about what this means - the daily life between himself and He Tiansi, and even their intimate intimacy in private, may have been exposed to a certain dark sight.

But that's not the point.The point is, who is the person who installed this device, and what purpose does it have.

After calming down a bit, the first thing Ming Ruoxing did was to call his elder brother and inform him that the safe house was under surveillance.

Ming Ruochen was also very surprised, and said that he would investigate the background of the house designer and decoration team first, and at the same time suggested that Ming Ruoxing should not act rashly, so as not to startle the snake.

Ming Ruoxing accepted his suggestion—it just so happened that He Tiansi was also coming back from the mountains this afternoon.

Considering the safety of the trip, Ming Ruoxing did not tell He Tiansi about the monitoring problem on the phone.I just confirmed his return time and waited at the bus stop at the entrance of the village in advance.

Half an hour later, He Tiansi, who looked refreshed and not tired, jumped off the bus, and the first thing he did was to give Ming Ruoxing a big hug.

"Baby, I miss you so much!"

"It's only been two weeks." Ming Ruoxing hit him twice.

"Not even two weeks. There are only 52 weeks in a year."

As he spoke, He Tiansi raised the plastic bag in his hand, "I brought you some special products from the mountain, the loquats grown on the mountain behind Wentianyuan. They are big and sweet! Let's go home and peel them for you to eat. "

Only then did Ming Ruoxing get serious: "Wait, I have something to tell you."

-

"Who would bug our house?!"

After hearing the news, He Tiansi was not so much surprised as excited.

"Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu are indeed a bit greedy for money, but they don't seem like someone who knows how to play with this kind of high technology when they are old. The same can be proved for other people in Goldfish Village. Ordinary thieves probably don't have this kind of interest...then , could it be the original design and decoration team?"

"My brother will find a way to help us investigate this matter."

Ming Ruoxing's words gave He Tiansi a new inspiration: "Hey... Maybe it was your brother who did it?"

"Impossible, don't think about it."

While the two were talking, a villager came over to pick up the courier, and the two exchanged pleasantries.Ming Ruoxing felt that this was not the place to talk, so he dragged He Tiansi home.

"Then what should we do next?" He Tiansi asked, "Can people still live in the house? Or should we find all the bugs first?"

Ming Ruoxing shook his head: "It's more important to keep the bait and catch the person who puts the bug."

"But in this way, isn't everything we said and everything we said exposed under the eyes of others?"

In the middle of speaking, He Tiansi suddenly lowered his voice, "Then... the things we do on the bed, in the bathtub, on the sofa... and other places, don't we also..."

"Shut up." Ming Ruoxing blushed, "Now is not the time to think about those things!"

"Isn't there someone who deliberately steals surveillance cameras just to secretly film couples loving each other and make a small movie to sell online? Could it be that?"

"..."

"Tell me, we have such good looks and so many tricks, what price should we get?!"

"...I told you to stop talking!"

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had reached the covered bridge in the middle of the lotus pond.At the end of spring, the lotus leaves on both sides have slowly grown taller.The noon sun shines on the lotus leaves, reflecting a dark green new light in the covered bridge.

Looking around, Ming Ruoxing motioned He Tiansi and himself to sit here for a while.

"Where there is no power supply, there is no way to use bugs and surveillance cameras. So, in the future, if you talk about important things, go to the yard or just walk out, understand?!"

"Understood!" He Tiansi nodded repeatedly.

"Then do you have any important matters on the mountain these days?"

"There is one."

With that said, He Tiansi put down the backpack and took out several folded and crumpled papers from it.After unfolding, there are several scribbled pencil sketches.

"I drew this on the mountain. I said that I wanted to retrieve my past memories as much as possible. So Mr. Su guided me to do some spiritual practice. After each practice, I will see some zeros and zeros. Draw the broken things. Can you help me find, is there really such a place in this world?"

"..."

Ming Ruoxing reached out to take the papers and flipped through them one by one.Initially some interiors.Messy laboratories, round shadowless lamps, and various medical devices that cannot be named.Immediately afterwards, there are exterior views of some buildings - old-fashioned bungalows with brick and wood structure, which look a bit semi-colonial.

Looking at it, he quickly turned to the last one, and frowned.

"How can you see this kind of perspective?"

His doubts are not unreasonable - this painting is completely different from the others, and it actually depicts a panorama of a small island from an almost bird's-eye view.Although scribbled, you can still see the general topography.It looks like it should be at least near the mouth of the sea.

"Maybe it was by plane?" He Tiansi reluctantly found an explanation, "Maybe I have been there by helicopter before, and this is the memory at that time."

If it is Naga, it is true that he has taken countless helicopters.Speaking of which, it is also very likely that this is a memory left over from a certain mission.But why did the memory of this time come to He Tiansi's mind?Ming Ruoxing subconsciously felt something wrong.

"I will try my best to help you investigate." He promised, "But don't get your hopes up too much."

"I understand, normal heart, normal heart."

As he spoke, He Tiansi took the initiative to lean over and kiss the corner of his mouth, and then laughed again.

"I can't do this kind of thing in the house in the future, so I can try it outside occasionally?"

"...not serious."

-

Two or three days after this, the two lived together peacefully with the surveillance devices in the house.Life, at least on the surface, is still calm and stable.

Ming Ruoxing took pictures of the hand-drawn sketches drawn by He Tiansi to his eldest brother, and Ming Ruochen promised to help investigate immediately, but strangely, there was no follow-up.

Two days later, it was He Tiansi who made significant progress.

"I know where this is."

That evening, when the two of them went out for a walk together, He Tiansi announced the latest situation to Ming Ruoxing.

"I sent the picture to Yu Benxin, and he said that he thought this place looked familiar, as if he had seen it in the work of an ordinary human photographer friend before. Now he helped me to ask, and it will be as soon as this evening There will be answers."

"You went to find Yu Benxin?" Ming Ruoxing clearly missed the point again.

"It's not just Yu Benxin, I also found Police Officer Lin. There are so many people, so much strength!"

"...You are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

Knowing that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to restrict his behavior, Ming Ruoxing sighed softly.

"Whatever, as long as you are happy."

The setting sun slowly dragged the shadows of the two people longer, and finally disappeared in the navy blue darkness.

-

In this matter, Yu Benxin is a more reliable guy than Ming Ruochen.That night, as expected, he sent the result of his inquiry as promised.

The terrain seen from a bird's eye view in He Tiansi's painting is very likely to be a small island called "Liuzhuyu" on the coast of the East Coast.According to public media reports, the island was once inhabited in the early years, but it was abandoned long ago due to inconvenient transportation.

What is even more bizarre is that it is said that there used to be heavily polluting processing plants on the island, and there are still sequelae of pollution near the island.Not only were there no catches, but there were even adverse reactions from people trying to get close to the island.As time goes on, there are inevitably some strange rumors, but they have never been confirmed.

As for the photographer friend of Yu Benxin, he also accidentally discovered this small island in the distance while taking aerial photos of the coastline.Afterwards, the photos were collected in a personal photography collection, but it did not cause any big repercussions.It was just by chance that Yu Benxin saw the album, so he left a little impression.

Coincidence or not is not so important anymore.Yu Benxin gave the general address of the island to He Tiansi, obviously He Tiansi wanted to go there no matter what.

But Ming Ruoxing forcibly stopped.

"From what Yu Benxin said, that place is a bit dangerous... If you want to go, you should at least make preparations and do some homework first, right?"
