to blame

As soon as Ming Xia heard the word "suspicious", Ming Xia felt terrified.

After living for more than 20 years, Ming Xia has never encountered such a strange thing.Even if I met Luo Luo before, it was just a weird and cruel temperament, after all, it was still a real thing in nature.It's completely different from those weird things with fans growing out of their backs.And the adventure in the bar after leaving... Ming Xia really wanted to find Li Youran, to prove to her that he was actually hallucinating, right?

Ming Xia held the teacup in his hand, and used the heat to calm himself down, "If you want to talk about suspicious places...does it matter if there are many people in the bar?" You must know that the old city is still under lockdown at this time.Under the circumstances that Luo Luo is not sure whether Luo Luo will be wiped out, a young man like Ming Xia dare not run around in the street after nightfall.

Nan Jiang nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"I think Qiao He seems to be very familiar with this bar," Ming Xia recalled. "When we first entered the bar, we saw him and his friends at the bar, and when we passed by, they disappeared again. The bar is facing the bar. In the lobby, if Joch walked this way, we would definitely be able to see it. So he must have gone around behind the bar at that time."

Ming Xia took out a pen and paper from the drawer and showed him the approximate topographical map of the bar, "The bar is right here, in the northwest corner of the hall, and there is a door behind the bar, but I didn't see the waiters going this way, their waiters came and went to the back kitchen. They all use the door next to the stairs." Ming Xia marked the location of the stairs in the northeast corner, and specially drew a door next to the stairs.

Ming Xia has a good foundation in drawing pictures. Although it is only a topographical map, it can be drawn clearly and smoothly. Moreover, due to his professional habits, he also conveniently marked the approximate distance data on the side.

Nanjiang, "..."

"At that time, Qiao He should have entered from here." Ming Xia pointed to the door behind the bar and said, "Then he will only go directly to the stage when he reappears. There is an entrance behind the stage leading to the backstage, and Qiao He can come directly from the backstage , indicating that he is very familiar with this place and can freely enter and exit the backstage of the bar."

Ming Xia didn't go in and out of the Cherry Blossom Bar much, so he couldn't say anything else.What he didn't quite understand was why Nan Jiang asked about the bar instead of Qiao He.But curiosity is curiosity, and Ming Xia, who shouldn't ask, didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.He is just a common man, he doesn't have any supernatural powers, so what if he knows more?In front of a god-man like Li Youran, he had no choice but to stand aside.

Ming Xia sighed, he wanted to go home a little bit.He is just an ordinary person. Not long after graduating from college, he is doing a job he likes with his teacher, and he only thinks about earning some money to pay off the mortgage early.He didn't want to know anything about those strange things that violated the laws of nature.

Nan Jiang seemed to guess what he was thinking, and comforted him, saying, "It's okay, even if you encounter these things, it has nothing to do with you. Don't be afraid."

"It's not just because I'm afraid." Ming Xia was a little worried about how to express her inner feelings, "I just think, if I stay any longer, my three views will be shattered into pieces."

Nanjiang smiled.

Ming Xia was a little frustrated for a while, and then let go.He is not a person with many thoughts by nature, besides, isn't it for Tu Qing's sake.Who is Tu Qing? Besides being his buddy, he is also his cousin's fiancé.He and Mingming are the only ones in the Ming family who have the best relationship, and Tu Qing has no relatives around him, who else can he count on if he doesn't help?

"When will Tu Qing come back?" Ming Xia was a little worried, "I have to go to work after the [-]th long holiday." Even if Tu Qing can't come back, he can ask for leave and continue to help look after the store, so he can't wait until the [-]th. I only went to tell the leader temporarily when work started, and it was appropriate to say hello in advance.

"It's not urgent." Nanjiang pondered for a while and said, "The old city is still isolated, and it is very likely that a certificate will be issued to you guys at that time."

Ming Xia is really having a headache right now. It turns out that after the long holiday is over, the old city still cannot be banned.

The breath was relieved, and Ming Xia was a little bit shattered, "Then, Officer Nan, I have a question. Those people I saw last night, the people with long tails, their backs look like spinosaurs People, are they all true?"

Nan Jiang looked at him with a smile on his face, "What do you think?"

Ming Xia raised his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, I won't ask any more." Just now he told himself not to ask what he shouldn't know.It's all Nan Jiang's fault. He suddenly showed such an amiable expression that he lost his mind when he didn't pay attention.

The smile in Nan Jiang's eyes deepened, "You really don't want to ask? I'll leave without asking."

Ming Xia hesitated for a moment, "Then let me ask one more question, was Qiao He blocked by Luo Luo?"

Nan Jiang shook his head.

Shaking your head counts as an answer.This means that the last opportunity to ask questions has also been used up.No matter how thick-skinned Ming Xia is, it's hard to ask too many questions, so he had to change the subject, "I still want to thank you, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."

Nanjiang declined, saying that he was too busy recently, so let's talk about it later.As he spoke, he wandered over to the cat climbing frame, pulled the cow and rabbit out from the bottom and rubbed them a couple of times.The beauty was originally watching Nanjiang, but when she saw that Nanjiang was groping around, she squeezed over unhappily and blocked the cow and rabbit behind her.

Nanjiang, "..."

Ming Xia felt a little more balanced in his heart, and at the same time was surprised that the charm of cows and rabbits to beauties was so great that even Nan Jiang fell out of favor.

"The rabbit was slightly injured before," Nan Jiang said, "I'll take Mr. Hu over to have a look tomorrow when I have time."

Nanjiang left such a nonsensical remark and left. Ming Xia was at a loss. He couldn't figure out that Mr. Hu, a consultant of the action team, was already a part-time doctor.

In the evening of the next day, Mr. Hu, who holds multiple positions, really came.

When he came, the beauty was having dinner with the cow and the rabbit.The always domineering young master beauty is like a fledgling young man, eagerly pushing the canned cat to the cow and rabbit. Seeing that the cow and rabbit are not very interested, it is a little bit disappointed, and its tail droops.

When Mr. Hu picked up the cow and the rabbit by its ears, the beauty immediately became angry and wanted to pounce on him to scratch him, but Ming Xia hugged him quickly and stuffed him into the cage—this speed, this eyesight was worth the price , They are all obtained from the long-term battle of wits and courage with the beautiful young master.

The beauty scratched the cage and howled like a wolf.

Ming Xia had no choice but to lift the cage to the bathroom first.Even being disrespectful to the elderly, he was put in confinement!

Mr. Hu was also taken aback, saying that he hadn't seen such a fierce cat for many years.

He carried the cow and rabbit to the treatment table, checked them over and over, and then said to Ming Xia: "The internal organs are all injured, so they need to be raised properly."

Ming Xia didn't know what to say.This is a rabbit, and it's not a roaring dog that charged into the battle. What did it do to make it suffer from internal injuries?

Mr. Hu left a bottle of pills and told Ming Xia to melt them in rice wine every morning and evening to feed the rabbits.

Ming Xia, "..."

Yes, I have to go out and buy a bottle of rice wine.

Mr. Hu came to see a doctor for his rabbit with such an identity, Ming Xia didn't have the thick skin to give him a consultation fee, but it would be inappropriate if he didn't have any at all.So he proposed to invite Mr. Hu to have dinner before leaving.Although the old town has looked sluggish in recent days, there are quite a few good restaurants.

Mr. Hu waved his hand and refused, "I don't have that time, I'll go to the bar later to have a look. Xiao Li told me that there is something wrong with that Qiao He, I have to take a look."

Seeing that Ming Xia's face changed when he heard the word "bar", Mr. Hu took his hand and said, "You have a bright eye and a bright heart, and you have gained a lot of knowledge these days. The place is different, if you find something strange, you can just keep it in your heart, and you can't go out and talk nonsense."

Ming Xia nodded ignorantly, "Okay, I won't say anything."

Mr. Hu patted him on the shoulder, lowered his voice and asked him, "Are you scared?"

Ming Xia scratched her hair in embarrassment, "A little bit."

Mr. Hu comforted him, "Don't be afraid."

Ming Xia was so gentle and amiable when facing a person of the same generation as his grandmother, she unconsciously said, "How can I not be afraid, I have never seen such a strange thing when I grow up. Especially yesterday I saw so many weird snakes last night, I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep at night.”

Mr. Hu laughed out loud.

Probably older people prefer Ming Xia's simple and straightforward temperament. Mr. Hu also showed a little kindness to him when he faced juniors, and said a few more words, "Tell you not to be afraid." It means that there are rules in the old town. No matter what kind of weird people and strange things happen, they can't go out of this area."

Ming Xia didn't understand.

Mr. Hu shook his head, "Have you read Journey to the West?"

"Seen."

"Just think of the surrounding area of ​​the old city, and an expert drew a circle." Mr. Hu stretched out his hand and drew a circle shape in mid-air, and said with a smile: "A circle that can only enter and cannot exit. Do you understand? "

Ming Xia didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.He understands every word of these words, but when they are put together, he has no idea what it means—what do you mean you can only enter but not exit?He has traveled between the urban area and the old urban area countless times, and he has never seen a circle to stop him. Who can only enter and cannot exit?

Mr. Hu didn't explain much, just smiled, "This world is very big, young man. You are still so young, don't always think that this world is the trivial appearance you see every day. Compared with the existing knowledge system, we are not There are so many things you don’t know.”
