Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 124 124
Xue Che was silent.
Officer Gao was also silent.
But the reasons for the two people's silence are different. Xue Che was wondering if he could swallow what he just said, but Officer Gao noticed another point.
"I have read all your published works." Officer Gao said, "There seems to be no similar content in it."
"Yes." Lin Jianqiu nodded, "Because I burned the manuscript."
Officer Gao noticed that Lin Jianqiu looked at Ye Huaishuang.
"Theoretically, only Teacher Ye has seen that manuscript, so the range of people who can get in touch with it is very limited. But,?" Lin Jianqiu paused, "That's the problem."
"Except for you and the planner, no one can confirm that this story actually existed." Officer Gao continued.
"Yes." Lin Jianqiu nodded, heaved a long sigh, and fell back on the back of the chair.
That's why he needed to find more "evidence" to support his guess.
The missing case of nearly ten people plus one murder case? It is not possible to gain trust just by relying on a few empty conjectures.
Officer Gao asked, "Have you already figured out what to do?"
Lin Jianqiu tapped the letters on the table with his fingertips: "This is one,? If there are two, it's up to Team Liang."
As soon as the voice fell, there were two knocks on the door.
Said that Cao Cao arrived, Liang Dui stood at the door with an evidence bag and a computer bag, his face was full of tired vicissitudes.
"Here's something for you, hurry up."
Lin Jianqiu became visibly more energetic. He got up and patted Xue Che on the shoulder, motioning him to get the computer: "One hour, I'll leave it to you."
Xue Che was pushed forward a few steps, but his face was still blank: "What are you doing?"
Lin Jianqiu spread out the stack of letter paper, and pointed to the letters and numbers with the same pattern at the bottom of the letter paper: "Try this website, how much can you read?"
"Really..." Xue Che muttered in a low voice, took the computer half-believingly and sat down, "I'll give it a try, don't blame me if I can't find it out..."
Lin Jianqiu gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice, and handed the postcard on the other side to Team Liang to see.
Liang Dui looked at the postcard and said, "You guessed it right, but... it's too accurate."
It was so accurate that people couldn't help but wonder if he knew about it long ago.
Lin Jianqiu didn't panic: "If you push according to the rules of the game, it's easy to match them one by one."
Officer Gao asked beside him, "Whose computer is that?"
"Tan Haoyuan, the intern in Huaishuang's laboratory, was the one who reported missing yesterday or the day before yesterday."
Liang Dui remembered something while talking, and stuffed the evidence bag to Lin Jianqiu.
"According to his roommate, this is a message letter from him when he ran away from home. I don't know what it is written in. You can read it yourself."
"Oh, by the way, his roommate also said that Tan Haoyuan seems to have come back in the morning, but he stayed up all night, and he fell asleep too deeply when he came back, suspecting that he was dreaming."
"Which morning?" Lin Jianqiu asked.
"Just today."
Obviously, there's something wrong with this guy.
Team Liang touched his pocket, but found no cigarettes, so he simply dragged the stool and sat down: "Why don't you talk about your motivation first, what kind of grudge does he have against you?"
Lin Jianqiu raised his eyebrows: "Do you believe me when I tell you?"
"There are two roads in front of me now." Liang Dui stretched out his hand and gestured, "One is to arrest you on the spot as a suspect, and your Teacher Ye is still an accomplice."
"The second is to believe in you and the current evidence, and admit that you are a potential victim who knows - do you think I have a choice?"
Team Liang took a deep breath, finally took out a hard candy from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, calming down a bit: "So why did you offend him?"
Lin Jianqiu shook his head decisively: "I don't know."
Liang Dui almost didn't come up in one breath: "Is there anything else you don't know?"
Lin Jianqiu added: "I don't know where and which one I offended."
Team Liang continued, "Does this mean there is more than one accomplice?"
Lin Jianqiu: "Just two people can't make so many people disappear out of thin air in such a short period of time."
Team Liang asked: "How many do you think there are?" Lin Jianqiu: "At least four."
Team Liang began to feel a headache: "Then what do you think is the possibility that they just happened to gather in the same place and wait for us to catch them all?"
Lin Jianqiu: "90.00% nine."
This answer was beyond Team Liang's expectations. He subconsciously asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Lin Jianqiu replied: "People with such a strong desire to perform will not obediently stay in a corner where no one is watching, let alone... using such a big battle to provoke them shows that they are really bold and look forward to being found by us."
He pointed at the postcard, and there were indeed blatant "hints" everywhere.
Liang Dui fell into silence, he was thinking about how much Lin Jianqiu's words could be used as evidence.
The second hand was ticking on the wall, mixed with the sound of Xue Che typing on the keyboard, no one spoke until Liang Dui's cell phone rang twice.
Liang Dui took out his phone and looked at it twice, and seemed to have made up his mind after pinching it off.
"The most important thing now is to find the missing person. I can't put all my chips on you. The large forces will still investigate according to the original rhythm, but we can temporarily not interfere on your side."
Liang Dui stretched out his finger to circle the people in the room, including Officer Gao.
"Sharing the progress of the internal investigation, looking for Wangyu through internal information, if you have any other needs, you can come to me without disturbing the progress of other people's investigations."
"But if there is a need there, you must also cooperate with the investigation."
Team Liang finally looked at Lin Jianqiu: "And your so-called manuscript, can you make a copy tonight?"
Lin Jianqiu nodded and said, "Yes, but I have a request."
Team Liang: "What?"
Lin Jianqiu replied: "After the case is closed, that manuscript cannot be made public again in any form."
After the case is closed, it's not a big deal.
Team Liang didn't ask why: "Yes. Are there any other requirements?"
Seeing Qiu shaking his head twice, Lin stopped. He looked up at the clock on the wall, and then at Xue Che who was sitting under the clock, his expression changed a little.
Then he asked abruptly: "How much authority can you get at most, Team Liang?"
Team Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Jianqiu looked into his eyes and said, "Give me 24 hours, and I can find them."
The rest speaks for itself.
— But he needs support and cooperation.
Ye Linyun woke up just after dawn.
He leaned against the kitchen wall and wrapped his coat tightly, but it didn't help. After September, the temperature difference between day and night gradually increased, and he woke up from the cold.
The doors and windows in the kitchen were all open for ventilation, and the only bed was given to the injured Tan.
There were still beds in the other rooms, but they were dirty and far away. There were three adults and one child in total, and it was not safe to disperse too much, so the remaining three huddled in the kitchen for the night.
When Ye Linyun woke up, there was only Xiaoyu left beside him.
The child felt heavy, his body was covered with the old man's coat, his head was bit by bit, and soon fell on Ye Linyun's body.
Ye Linyun's body stiffened. His first reaction was to be dirty, but then he came back to his senses. At this time, he himself was not much better.
What's more, this pair of grandparents can also be regarded as his saviors.
Ye Linyun sat stiffly on the spot, allowing the children to use him as a human cushion.
I don't know what happened to Tan.
Ye Linyun unconsciously scattered his thoughts.
Xiao Tan is the only person he knows, even if he didn't like him in the past, at this time he unconsciously classifies him as one of his own, so he must think more about it.
In the wilderness, the weather is capricious, cold at night, hot during the day, wounds are easily infected and suppurated, and there is no doctor here...
Ye Linyun didn't dare to think about it any further.
He only knew that the longer the time dragged on, the worse things would be for them.
The slight knocking sound from the window drew Ye Linyun's attention back. When he looked up, he saw an old man in unlined clothes standing outside the window and smirking at him, as if he was holding something in his hand.
Seeing that Ye Linyun was awake, the old man glanced in the direction of the main house, and hurried into the kitchen.
When he got closer, Ye Linyun realized that he was carrying a bunch of wild fruits in his pockets.
"You, you eat." The old man lowered his voice and moved the fruit towards him, "I just went to the forest to pick it, washed it, and it's fresh."
Ye Linyun was still out of condition, the old man thought he was doubting whether the food could be eaten, so he picked out a small one with his fingertips and put it in his mouth.
"When we were young, we had this stuff everywhere in the countryside. It was edible and non-toxic, and the children in the village rushed to pick it... But the taste is definitely not as good as the expensive ones that your young master usually eats, but it's also what you want. It's nutritious. Balanced, eating rice and wild vegetables is not a problem, it's hard..."
The old man babbled, and it took him a while to notice his grandson lying on Ye Linyun's body. He groaned again, and quickly hugged his grandson to lean against him, saying "I'm sorry" to Ye Linyun repeatedly.
"Children are ignorant, don't worry about it."
"Do I seem to be such an unreasonable person?" Ye Linyun frowned, but he was really not angry.
After staying here for such a long time, most of his temper has already been worn down, not to mention that the old man's attitude is too friendly.
The old man put his arms around his grandson, without even thinking about leaving some for his grandson, and without thinking about the injuries outside, he just sent the things to Ye Linyun in a daze.
"Hehehe, I know you are a good person." The old man smiled smirk, and urged to remind, "Hurry up and eat it, it won't be good if you are seen later, I will cook some breakfast later, and then I will call another A young master got up."
He was only good to Ye Linyun.
Ye Linyun could hear it no matter how slow he was, and he thought about the old man telling him to help bury He Xianhua when he just woke up.
At that time, he still suspected that the other party had some kind of conspiracy. Now that he thinks about it, maybe the old man really wanted to help him conceal the "criminal evidence", but he did something stupid instead.
Ye Linyun felt nauseous again, and also had a subtle touch. He hesitated to take a fruit, and saw the old man smiling happily at him.
In the end, unable to suppress his curiosity, Ye Linyun asked him in a low voice, "Why did you help me like this?"
Could it be that he took a fancy to his identity and wanted to sell favors after he got out?
Seeing the careful planning of the old man, he seemed to be ready to be trapped here for a long time. If he hadn't met Xiao Tan yesterday, he would have even started making fishing rods to go fishing.
Ye Linyun couldn't hold back the following words: "We have no relatives and no reason, even if you leave me there, no one will blame you, but if I have more, I will waste a ration, and then there will be more Xiao Tan, I am very sorry Why do you have to do this to bring him back?"
The old man opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing when he came back to his senses.
"You really don't remember me," said the old man.
Ye Linyun cast a blank look: "Have we met before?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, you gave me 300 yuan back."
Ye Linyun still didn't remember: "Is there?"
The old man went on to say: "As for what happened last month, I was a beggar at the gate of the shopping mall. You seemed to be in a hurry, maybe you forgot because you were too busy... Let it be fine if you can't remember, we are insignificant little people There’s really nothing worth remembering.”
Ye Linyun had a very vague impression of this matter, vaguely as if there was such a thing, but not as if it wasn't.
But his focus easily went elsewhere: "It's only 300 yuan, what about it?"
Second Young Master Ye couldn't understand the old man's hospitality.
He knew that 300 yuan was not too little, but it was not too much either. To him, it was not even pocket money, and even a small change was not enough to enter a slightly higher-end store.
Thinking in another way, he would definitely not treat others like his own father just because of a mere 300 yuan.
The old man seemed to understand Ye Linyun's astonishment, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he just sat down on the ground and hugged his grandson in his arms.
"You may not know how many good meals you can eat for 300 yuan. I used to help in the back kitchen of others, and usually I could only bring some leftovers home. Later, I fell down and scared the family. There are quite a few, and the child will go to school soon, so I can only pick a little bit of everything."
The old man said with a sigh: "But the child is growing up, so there is no one who is not greedy. Thanks to the kindness of the neighbor, he can occasionally share a bite of meat and vegetables. He had his birthday last month, and he asked me pitifully what he wanted to eat." For the hamburger in the store, I agreed to him out of a soft heart, but when I went to the store to see the price, I couldn’t afford it.”
"Xiaoyu is sensible. He hugged my leg and said no to eating, but I was always thinking about it. It's rare for a child to say what he wants. He gritted his teeth and couldn't really afford it. But after thinking about it, I was afraid that the weather would be bad. Don't go, eat the last meal and not the next meal..."
If it hadn't been for the old man to mention it under such circumstances, it would be hard for Ye Linyun to imagine that there would be such a miserable life in Yuncheng.
Different from those professional beggars, the old man was forced to become a beggar because he accidentally fell and injured himself this year. He had no money and could not find a new job.
Firstly, he has no talent, secondly, he is not lacking in arms or legs, and he is somewhat embarrassing, and the money he asks for is barely enough to eat.
The old man has been an old bachelor all his life. He has no relatives and no reason. He has never been to school and can't read a few words.
The little fish was not his own, but was picked up from a ditch by the roadside.
With one more child, the life of the elderly is even more difficult. Life has always been tight, but they have been dependent on each other to this day.
"It's not that I didn't think about giving him away before. It's better than suffering with me, but I sent him out twice, and once he was annoying when he kept crying, he was sent back again. Later, when he was older, he sneaked back by himself. Looking for me, walking back tens of kilometers, almost being abducted, I thought at that time, even if I die poor, I can’t send him away again.”
The old man's eyes were slightly red, and he was relieved to realize that he had talked too much.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on today, there's always so much nonsense, talking about running away, talking about running away."
The old man smiled again, and finally brought the topic back: "Where did you talk, oh yes, I was bored at that time, and I happened to meet you. 300 yuan is enough for several meals for Xiaoyu. I bought him a fried chicken leg, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep well all night, and got up early in the morning to stare at the cupboard."
The little fish, who was half asleep and half awake, licked his mouth unconsciously, as if he had dreamed about the delicious chicken drumsticks again.
The old man spoke happily, as if he was talking about something interesting, but Ye Linyun couldn't empathize with it.
He was stuck in the throat.
The haughty side of his character made him look down on such pettiness, feel pitiful and pathetic, but at the same time he felt panicked in his heart, if he could speak, he was sure that what he said would never be ridiculed.
It would be great if he was still outside, he could even call someone on the spot to take the grandpa and grandson to eat all over the restaurants in Yuncheng.
The old man misunderstood the change in Ye Linyun's expression, and halfway through talking enthusiastically, he closed his mouth embarrassingly.
"All these are for you." The old man stuffed the fruit in his arms into Ye Linyun's hands, wiped his palms awkwardly, and patted his sleeping grandson awake, "I'll make breakfast first, you stay here obediently and don't mess around move."
Xiaoyu opened his eyes in a daze, and nodded quietly without making a fuss.
The old man looked at the sky outside, and really got up to gather firewood to boil water and cook porridge.
Xiaoyu leaned against the wall blankly, staring outside.
After a while, he felt someone touch his shoulder, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Ye Linyun handing him two fruits.
It is the largest of the two.
Ye Linyun pondered all night how to save himself.
When Xiao Tan woke up and went out, he and the old man had already piled firewood on the open space.
But there wasn't much firewood in the kitchen, and Ye Linyun didn't have much experience in living in the wild, so the small pile felt that it wasn't enough.
When he looked up accidentally, he saw Xiao Tan at the door: "Why are you up? Are you injured?"
Xiao Tan nodded: "It's just a little pain, but it's already crooked, so it's not that serious."
Ye Linyun didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Tan couldn't help being curious: "Second Young Master, what are you planning to do?"
Ye Linyun replied, "Send a distress signal."
"There are only a few people here. It is impossible to transport them to a very far place without anyone noticing. They must still be around. I have been missing for so long. My family and the police must be looking for me. Of course we must Make some noise so they can see it."
But Xiao Tan hesitated: "But there are other people in the mountain, what if their whereabouts are exposed, what if they come to trouble us first?"
Ye Linyun turned to look at him.
Xiao Tan felt that his expression was a little strange, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
Ye Linyun quickly withdrew his gaze: "It's better than being trapped in the mountains and starving to death. Even if someone really knocked on the door, there are at least four of us here. Isn't it enough to scare someone? The worst thing is to get hurt. sent to the hospital."
Xiao Tan could not refute these reasons.
Ye Linyun just made a judgment: "This amount of firewood is definitely not enough. We have to plan for a long-term struggle, and hurry up to pick up some more."
Both the old man and the little fish nodded, ready to help.
Xiao Tan also took a step forward: "I'll go with you, more people should work harder."
Ye Linyun nodded, but he didn't force it: "You know what you want, if you can't stand it, sit next to you and rest, lest your rescuer be gone before the rescuer arrives."
Xiao Tan smiled shyly and said "OK".
"Let's go first, I'll follow behind, it's not far anyway, so I won't delay your work."
The old man hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to wait for him to go with him, stared at him for a while, and followed Ye Linyun's footsteps.
When he reached the edge of the forest, he turned his head unconsciously, but he couldn't see Xiao Tan's figure anymore.
Are you sitting somewhere to rest?
The old man leaned over to pick up the branches, and the insects and birds in the forest were singing endlessly, and the sound of the stream was mixed with it. Occasionally, a gust of breeze blew by, and the branches and leaves collided and rustled, making it even more difficult to hear the subtle movements in the distance.
No one saw that Xiao Tan went in the opposite direction and pulled out something from under a certain rock.
Officer Gao was also silent.
But the reasons for the two people's silence are different. Xue Che was wondering if he could swallow what he just said, but Officer Gao noticed another point.
"I have read all your published works." Officer Gao said, "There seems to be no similar content in it."
"Yes." Lin Jianqiu nodded, "Because I burned the manuscript."

Lin Jianqiu gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice, and handed the postcard on the other side to Team Liang to see.
Liang Dui looked at the postcard and said, "You guessed it right, but... it's too accurate."
It was so accurate that people couldn't help but wonder if he knew about it long ago.
Lin Jianqiu didn't panic: "If you push according to the rules of the game, it's easy to match them one by one."

The old man opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing when he came back to his senses.
"You really don't remember me," said the old man.
Ye Linyun cast a blank look: "Have we met before?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, you gave me 300 yuan back."
Ye Linyun still didn't remember: "Is there?"
The old man went on to say: "As for what happened last month, I was a beggar at the gate of the shopping mall. You seemed to be in a hurry, maybe you forgot because you were too busy... Let it be fine if you can't remember, we are insignificant little people There’s really nothing worth remembering.”
Ye Linyun had a very vague impression of this matter, vaguely as if there was such a thing, but not as if it wasn't.
But his focus easily went elsewhere: "It's only 300 yuan, what about it?"
Second Young Master Ye couldn't understand the old man's hospitality.
He knew that 300 yuan was not too little, but it was not too much either. To him, it was not even pocket money, and even a small change was not enough to enter a slightly higher-end store.
Thinking in another way, he would definitely not treat others like his own father just because of a mere 300 yuan.
The old man seemed to understand Ye Linyun's astonishment, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he just sat down on the ground and hugged his grandson in his arms.
"You may not know how many good meals you can eat for 300 yuan. I used to help in the back kitchen of others, and usually I could only bring some leftovers home. Later, I fell down and scared the family. There are quite a few, and the child will go to school soon, so I can only pick a little bit of everything."
The old man said with a sigh: "But the child is growing up, so there is no one who is not greedy. Thanks to the kindness of the neighbor, he can occasionally share a bite of meat and vegetables. He had his birthday last month, and he asked me pitifully what he wanted to eat." For the hamburger in the store, I agreed to him out of a soft heart, but when I went to the store to see the price, I couldn’t afford it.”
"Xiaoyu is sensible. He hugged my leg and said no to eating, but I was always thinking about it. It's rare for a child to say what he wants. He gritted his teeth and couldn't really afford it. But after thinking about it, I was afraid that the weather would be bad. Don't go, eat the last meal and not the next meal..."
If it hadn't been for the old man to mention it under such circumstances, it would be hard for Ye Linyun to imagine that there would be such a miserable life in Yuncheng.
Different from those professional beggars, the old man was forced to become a beggar because he accidentally fell and injured himself this year. He had no money and could not find a new job.
Firstly, he has no talent, secondly, he is not lacking in arms or legs, and he is somewhat embarrassing, and the money he asks for is barely enough to eat.
The old man has been an old bachelor all his life. He has no relatives and no reason. He has never been to school and can't read a few words.
The little fish was not his own, but was picked up from a ditch by the roadside.
With one more child, the life of the elderly is even more difficult. Life has always been tight, but they have been dependent on each other to this day.
"It's not that I didn't think about giving him away before. It's better than suffering with me, but I sent him out twice, and once he was annoying when he kept crying, he was sent back again. Later, when he was older, he sneaked back by himself. Looking for me, walking back tens of kilometers, almost being abducted, I thought at that time, even if I die poor, I can’t send him away again.”
The old man's eyes were slightly red, and he was relieved to realize that he had talked too much.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on today, there's always so much nonsense, talking about running away, talking about running away."
The old man smiled again, and finally brought the topic back: "Where did you talk, oh yes, I was bored at that time, and I happened to meet you. 300 yuan is enough for several meals for Xiaoyu. I bought him a fried chicken leg, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep well all night, and got up early in the morning to stare at the cupboard."
The little fish, who was half asleep and half awake, licked his mouth unconsciously, as if he had dreamed about the delicious chicken drumsticks again.
The old man spoke happily, as if he was talking about something interesting, but Ye Linyun couldn't empathize with it.
He was stuck in the throat.
The haughty side of his character made him look down on such pettiness, feel pitiful and pathetic, but at the same time he felt panicked in his heart, if he could speak, he was sure that what he said would never be ridiculed.
It would be great if he was still outside, he could even call someone on the spot to take the grandpa and grandson to eat all over the restaurants in Yuncheng.
The old man misunderstood the change in Ye Linyun's expression, and halfway through talking enthusiastically, he closed his mouth embarrassingly.
"All these are for you." The old man stuffed the fruit in his arms into Ye Linyun's hands, wiped his palms awkwardly, and patted his sleeping grandson awake, "I'll make breakfast first, you stay here obediently and don't mess around move."
Xiaoyu opened his eyes in a daze, and nodded quietly without making a fuss.
The old man looked at the sky outside, and really got up to gather firewood to boil water and cook porridge.
Xiaoyu leaned against the wall blankly, staring outside.
After a while, he felt someone touch his shoulder, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Ye Linyun handing him two fruits.
It is the largest of the two.
Ye Linyun pondered all night how to save himself.
When Xiao Tan woke up and went out, he and the old man had already piled firewood on the open space.
But there wasn't much firewood in the kitchen, and Ye Linyun didn't have much experience in living in the wild, so the small pile felt that it wasn't enough.
When he looked up accidentally, he saw Xiao Tan at the door: "Why are you up? Are you injured?"
Xiao Tan nodded: "It's just a little pain, but it's already crooked, so it's not that serious."
Ye Linyun didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Tan couldn't help being curious: "Second Young Master, what are you planning to do?"
Ye Linyun replied, "Send a distress signal."
"There are only a few people here. It is impossible to transport them to a very far place without anyone noticing. They must still be around. I have been missing for so long. My family and the police must be looking for me. Of course we must Make some noise so they can see it."
But Xiao Tan hesitated: "But there are other people in the mountain, what if their whereabouts are exposed, what if they come to trouble us first?"
Ye Linyun turned to look at him.
Xiao Tan felt that his expression was a little strange, but he couldn't tell the specific reason.
Ye Linyun quickly withdrew his gaze: "It's better than being trapped in the mountains and starving to death. Even if someone really knocked on the door, there are at least four of us here. Isn't it enough to scare someone? The worst thing is to get hurt. sent to the hospital."
Xiao Tan could not refute these reasons.
Ye Linyun just made a judgment: "This amount of firewood is definitely not enough. We have to plan for a long-term struggle, and hurry up to pick up some more."
Both the old man and the little fish nodded, ready to help.
Xiao Tan also took a step forward: "I'll go with you, more people should work harder."
Ye Linyun nodded, but he didn't force it: "You know what you want, if you can't stand it, sit next to you and rest, lest your rescuer be gone before the rescuer arrives."
Xiao Tan smiled shyly and said "OK".
"Let's go first, I'll follow behind, it's not far anyway, so I won't delay your work."
The old man hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to wait for him to go with him, stared at him for a while, and followed Ye Linyun's footsteps.
When he reached the edge of the forest, he turned his head unconsciously, but he couldn't see Xiao Tan's figure anymore.
Are you sitting somewhere to rest?
The old man leaned over to pick up the branches, and the insects and birds in the forest were singing endlessly, and the sound of the stream was mixed with it. Occasionally, a gust of breeze blew by, and the branches and leaves collided and rustled, making it even more difficult to hear the subtle movements in the distance.
No one saw that Xiao Tan went in the opposite direction and pulled out something from under a certain rock.
