Yang Li's name in No. [-] Courtyard has changed to Yang Gang, so they can just find someone with the surname Yang.There were not many families in the No. [-] courtyard, and the one with the surname Yang was not particularly common. Soon Xiao Cheng asked two families.

One household is a couple in their thirties with a child of a few years old.This kind of family configuration seems not suitable for Yang Li, a 20-year-old boy, so Xiao Cheng set his goal on another family.

It was an old lady who lived alone, her name was Granny Zhou. Her wife passed away, and now she lives alone on the first floor. Because her legs and feet are not very good, she doesn't usually go out.Judging from the age, it is very suitable to have an adult grandson.

Came to the Yang family.

When looking in from the window, it was very dim, and it was almost impossible to see anything. This feeling reminded Xiao Cheng of Yu Hai's house.He reached out and knocked on the door, and after a while, there was the sound of small footsteps.

A thin old lady opened the door. Although the old lady was thin, she had a loud voice. She looked at the two and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Cheng said: "Grandma Zhou, we want to ask you about your grandson."

"Huh? My grandson hit you?" Granny Zhou turned her ears to them, as if her ears were not very good.

Xiao Cheng thought to himself that your grandson can't beat me, there is no other way, he could only repeat it several times, Granny Zhou finally understood, she nodded, and led the two into the door slowly.

The old man lives a frugal life. Although the lighting on the first floor is not good, he does not turn on the lights, and peels beans in the room under the dim light. However, Granny Zhou seems to have poor eyesight, and the presence or absence of light does not affect her. not big.

After the three of them sat down, Granny Zhou looked at the two of them, and they also looked at him, and the room fell into a brief silence.

Xiao Cheng was thinking about words, but Granny Zhou spoke first: "What are you guys doing here? Are you here?"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

The old lady seemed to be unable to use her brain very well, and she could forget what she just said in a flash.

Xiao Cheng could only explain it again, this time Granny Zhou did not forget, and talked about her grandson along the topic: "Oh, you ask my grandson, just now he is studying outside, and he will be back after a while."

Xiao Cheng: "Did he tell you when he would come back?"

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then when was the last time he contacted you?" Xiao Cheng asked again.

Granny Zhou thought for a while: "Oh, I'm old, I can't remember clearly..."

Xiao Cheng changed the subject: "How is his temper usually?"

Granny Zhou was overjoyed: "Young guy, he has a hot temper, sometimes he quarrels with others, and he gets into a fight with others from time to time, but he is a good boy."

With the blessing of the family filter, her grandson has a violent temper, often quarrels, and loves to fight, but in the eyes of grandma, he is a good boy.From this it can be proved that bear children are born from the habits of bear parents.However, the hot temper can explain Yang Li's personality change after he became Yang Gang.

Part of the guesses in Xiao Cheng's mind fell to the ground, and he turned to ask other topics: "Then, does Yang Gang have anyone he likes? It's okay to pay special attention to it."

"No, no." Granny Zhou narrowed her eyes and looked at the two handsome young men in front of her, suddenly becoming vigilant.

Granny Zhou has also experienced the age of youth, and she has a clear understanding of the care between men and women, so she came to the door to inquire. Could it be that these two young men are here to rob her grandson?She couldn't help but take a closer look. The conditions of the two children are formidable rivals.

Xiao Cheng observed her expression, guessed Granny Zhou's mental state at the moment, and then changed a somewhat mysterious tone: "We are also asking for others, and mother-in-law also knows that sometimes girls are shy."

Granny Zhou's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she approached Xiao Cheng: "Girl? Which family's girl?"

But Xiao Cheng shook his head slyly: "Then mother-in-law, you need to speak first. If not, we can explain it clearly to the other girl, and neither side will hurt the peace."

Granny Zhou thought about it for a while, and explained honestly: "My good grandson liked to hang out with that girl from the Ye family when he was a child. I watched him grow up and he didn't change. He still likes to talk to others when he has nothing to do. Do you think there is any drama? "

Hearing the word "Ye", Xiao Cheng and Su Heyan exchanged glances, thinking of Ye Xiaoni in unison.

·

After bidding farewell to Granny Zhou, Xiao Cheng and Su Heyan left the Yang family.

Xiao Cheng said his conclusion: "It seems that those who become residents will have their names, personalities, and even communication habits changed by No. [-] Courtyard. These changes are not random, but to conform to the settings of No. [-] Courtyard residents. .”

"After becoming residents, they will be protected by the No. [-] courtyard and live a relatively safe life."

"Yang Li has been successfully transformed into a resident, why did he disappear again?" Su Heyan said.

Xiao Cheng: "I guess, even if you are assimilated as a resident, it is not completely "qualified" for the No. [-] courtyard. There may be some kind of test hidden behind it. If you fail, you will disappear like those people before. , and his corresponding identity will be considered by everyone as going out, until the next suitable person appears."

"For example, the residents here now think that Yang Gang has not come back. If the next suitable 'Yang Gang' appears, in their memory, Yang Gang will come back." After speaking, he looked at Su Heyan: "Is that right?"

Su Heyan nodded: "A very reasonable guess."

"So, what did Yang Li do to be judged unqualified?" Xiao Cheng thought.

"Look at this." Su Heyan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain ground near Yang's house.

Xiao Cheng leaned over and found that it was a shoe print stained with mud. The size of the shoe print was not small, and it belonged to a man's big foot: "Could it be Yang Li?"

Su He stretched his hand and touched it: "The soil is not completely dry, which means it hasn't been left for too long. It's shaded here, and things dry slowly. Maybe it was left last night."

"In other words, Yang Li, or Yang Gang, sneaked out of the house last night." Xiao Cheng said, "But Grandpa Wu and Aunt Wang both said that they should stay at home at night, so why would he go out when he became a resident?" run?"

Su Heyan continued walking in the direction of his footsteps, and found another footprint. He called Xiao Cheng to come and have a look.

Xiao Cheng walked in and took a look, and found that the location of the footprints was relatively hidden. There were still some traces of climbing on the pillars in the corner of the corridor on the first floor.

"He... crawled upstairs in the middle of the night?" Xiao Cheng was confused by this behavior, "A thief?"

Su Heyan: "Isn't it just being a thief? If there is something serious to do, normal people will choose to take the stairs. Only those with a guilty conscience who are afraid of being seen will choose another path."

Xiao Cheng suddenly thought of something: "The footsteps we heard last night, could it be..."

Su Heyan: "Just follow it up and take a look."

"How's it going--"

Before Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he saw Su Heyan take a few steps back, jump up suddenly after a run-up, and after a few leverages on the pillars, he jumped up to the second floor as lightly as a swallow.

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Fuck!What kind of technique is this!

After Su Heyan went up to the second floor, he checked the surrounding traces, and waved to Xiao Cheng: "Come up, there are footprints here too."

Xiao Cheng looked at him helplessly: "Master Su, this is not an operation that ordinary people can do."

He deeply doubted, where did Su Heyan, a young master, learn these fighting and stealth skills? Is the current wealthy family so difficult to mix with?Do you want the young masters to act as bodyguards themselves?

Su Heyan suddenly pulled out his whip and swung it at Xiao Cheng.Xiao Cheng had been trained by him as a conditioned reflex, and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the whip that hit him was different from the previous training, it just landed softly in front of him with force.

Upstairs, Su Heyan wrapped the other end of the whip tightly around his wrist, and hooked his fingers at Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng instantly understood, this meant to let him borrow his strength.

He imitated Su Heyan's movement and ran up a few steps before jumping up. While stepping on the pillar, he grabbed the whip that fell in front of him. With the help of the whip, he felt much more relaxed. He kicked on the pillar twice again, smoothly Reached the second floor.

Su Heyan just grabbed the other end of the whip firmly, watching the other side go up.

After landing, Xiao Cheng turned his head and looked down. Although it was only one floor high, he felt as if he had accomplished something miraculous. He was even a little emotional. People who love parkour probably love this kind of feeling. It’s quite interesting. sense of accomplishment.

Su Heyan took the opportunity to touch his partner's head, and praised: "Not bad."

Xiao Cheng was still happy to have completed the new operation, and did not resist him.

"Let's go." After speaking, Su Heyan turned around and continued to search for the footprints left by Yang Li.

After following Su Heyan for two steps, Xiao Cheng suddenly realized: "We're not afraid of being discovered, right? Why don't we take the stairs..."

Su Heyan: "..."

That's embarrassing.

But in the current situation, he can only pretend that he didn't hear it, and walk forward quickly.

Watching Yang Li's footprints continue to spread on the pillars, it seemed that they wanted to go up to the third floor. This time, the two chose to take the stairs tacitly, and neither of them mentioned climbing the pillars.

When they reached the third floor, the two went directly to the direction they heard the footsteps last night, and they saw footprints not far away.The footprints are in an odd position, not only at the end of the corridor, but also up the handrail with the toes pointing outwards.

"What does he want to do at night?" Xiao Cheng wondered.

He looked around, and his eyes suddenly fell on the window of the neighbor. This house had set up a flower stand outside the window, and there were many flower pots inside. The roses were the most blooming now.The pot of roses bloomed very well, and part of it had already protruded from the flower stand. It was out of reach when standing on the corridor, but if you crouched on the guardrail, it seemed to be within reach.

Xiao Cheng understood, "Yang Gang" should have come to steal flowers.

He thought of the book "Ye Xiaoni" read today, it seemed to be a very literary poetry collection, with a beautiful rose on the cover.The two were in the period of passionate love again, the rebellious teenager went out secretly in the middle of the night, just to pick the most beautiful rose in the whole courtyard and present it to the girl he loves.

It happened that there was a bare branch in the pot of roses, and the flowers on it were missing.

Su Heyan also walked to the end of the corridor, leaned out to look around, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch a certain position on the railing.Xiao Cheng followed his movements and found a little dry dark red on the railing.

Su Heyan withdrew his hand and sniffed at the tip of his nose: "Blood."

There are still some traces of metal scratches nearby, and the traces go all the way up the outer wall of the building. No wonder when they tracked the pipe snake last night, they couldn't find any traces here. It turned out that it went to the outside of the building .

Combined with the bloodstains that Su Heyan discovered, Xiao Cheng's heart sank. Yang Li probably happened to bump into a pipe snake that was watching the night, and the consequences might not be good.

Xiao Cheng: "Is he disqualified because he went out late at night, or because he stole things?"

Su Heyan: "I'm afraid only No. [-] courtyard knows about this."

Xiao Cheng looked at the marks extending to nowhere on the wall: "Go up and have a look?"

"Let's go." Su Heyan turned and walked towards the stairs.

·

The two went up to the fourth floor. There were obviously fewer residents here, and there were fewer sundries in the corridor, making the whole space appear more open.

At the end of the corridor, Xiao Cheng also found scratch marks and blood stains on the nearby exterior, but these marks continued to go up, extending out of sight.

"What else is there?" Xiao Cheng poked his head out of the corridor, trying to see the traces of the pipe snake clearly, but due to the limited angle, he couldn't see much at all.

"Is there... nothing on it?"

"There seems to be nothing."

Su Heyan and Xiao Cheng spoke almost simultaneously.

After the two said this, they were suddenly taken aback, looking at each other and feeling something was wrong.

It's as if they're making an obvious mistake at the same time.

Xiao Cheng: "Generally speaking, what's on the fourth floor?"

Su Heyan: "The rooftop or the fifth floor."

Xiao Cheng looked at the ceiling of the corridor above his head: "Did you say there is a fifth floor here? Why I don't seem to have been there before."

After entering the No. [-] courtyard, the two walked around the courtyard several times, looking for people and clues, and almost walked the entire No. [-] courtyard.It stands to reason that they should be very clear about the layout of the No. [-] courtyard, but why are they ambiguous about the existence of the fifth floor.

When I saw it just now, it was obvious that there was still a space above the fourth floor, but the thought that flashed through my mind was "nothing".

Su Heyan leaned against the wall: "When we were looking for clues last night, we didn't pay attention to the fifth floor at all. We stopped subconsciously when we reached the fourth floor."

Xiao Cheng suddenly felt goosebumps on his arms, and he looked at Su Heyan: "You said, did the fifth floor just pop up, or did the No. [-] courtyard eliminate the existence of the fifth floor from our minds?" Three The number courtyard can affect the cognitive ability of the entrants, making ordinary people think that they are the residents here, but are the capable people really not affected at all?

Could it be that they have been affected a long time ago, but they just haven't been aware of it.

The fifth floor may have been there all the time, but these two days they came and went in the No. [-] courtyard, subconsciously ignoring its existence.

Su Heyan straightened up: "Let's go up."

·

The two found the upward stairs on the fourth floor.

The stairs were at the same location as the lower floors, but they clearly went up to the fourth floor from here before, but they never thought of going to the fifth floor.

It seemed that no one had walked this staircase for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust on it, even the handrails were not spared.

Xiao Cheng put his hand on the black umbrella subconsciously, followed Su Heyan's footsteps and went upstairs carefully.This section of stairs is very strong, but stepping on it can't bring any sense of peace of mind. The further you go up, the farther the sound from the yard below will be. Only two people's footsteps intersect and echo alone in the empty stairwell.

Finally set foot on the fifth floor.

There was also a layer of dust in the corridor, but there were no traces of blood or metal scratches on it.

All the doors and windows of the rooms on this floor are closed, and the glass on many windows is broken. Through the incomplete openings, one can vaguely see the dark interior inside.

Xiao Cheng turned his attention to the nearest house, and the room was in a mess. He saw that all the valuable things had been removed, and only some old and outdated furniture remained, randomly placed on the ground full of debris. On, without even putting on a hood, it looks like you don't intend to take it.

A layer of dust fell on the floor and furniture, making everything chaotic and gloomy.

This is moving?

Looking at another household, it was a similar scene. Old sundries were piled up in the abandoned house, accompanied by garbage and dust.

The decoration of these houses is similar to those on the four floors below, all of which are old-style poverty-stricken with a sense of age.

Xiao Cheng: "Do you feel that the houses on this floor look much older than those below?"

Su Heyan also checked a few rooms, looked away and said, "Well, and all of them acted as if they had moved away and never wanted to come back."

The entire fifth floor has a sense of incompatibility with other areas. It is desolate, dilapidated and lifeless, which is completely opposite to the happy daily life below.In other words, this place is closer to the real appearance of No. [-] Courtyard.

Xiao Cheng was inexplicably excited: "That is to say, we have approached the truth in No. [-] Courtyard."

Su Heyan walked to him: "Be careful, there may be danger hidden here."

The two continued to check the situation on the fifth floor. Most of the rooms were the same as they had seen before, but one room caught their attention.

This is a furnished room. Looking in through the dusty window, one can vaguely see books and cups on the table. The interior layout is fairly complete. Although it is a bit messy, there is no such plan The feeling of never coming back.

The doors and windows of this house are complete, and the door is still locked, as if the owner will come back at any time, but a thick layer of dust has fallen on the door lock, obviously the owner did not come back as he wished.

Xiao Cheng pushed the door: "It's locked."

He looked around, and it didn't look like there was a hidden key nearby: "Do you want to kick the door?"

Su Heyan looked at the door lock: "Don't use it for now, this old-fashioned lock has a simple structure, I should be able to do it."

Xiao Cheng saw Su Heyan squat down, dig out a wire from the sundries on the ground, put it into the keyhole and start to move carefully.This picture makes people want to fill in their brains with titles such as "Why do rich and young people fall into burglary".

But among other things, Su Heyan's downcast eyes focused on the movements of his hands looked pretty good.The so-called serious man is the most attractive. This man has a good appearance. When he restrains his redundant expression and concentrates his attention completely, his whole person exudes a special attractiveness.

Coupled with his squatting action at the moment, his left leg is naturally bent, his right leg is slightly opened outwards, his knees almost touch the ground, but his waist remains straight, and a neat line is formed between his waist and legs, which completely takes advantage of his long legs Show the way.

Xiao Cheng stood by and was idle, and couldn't help but glance at his legs again.

Su Heyan put away the iron wire in his hand with satisfaction. He hadn't picked the lock for a while. Fortunately, his craftsmanship has not deteriorated. He looked forward to the compliment from his partner, and turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Cheng replied subconsciously: "The figure is good."

Su Heyan paused: "..."

He's opening doors, not some dissonant pay-per-view?

Xiao Cheng also came to his senses at this time, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a Potala Palace on the spot, wishing to give his mouth a big mouth, what is he talking about...

And Su Heyan subconsciously followed Xiao Cheng's line of sight to look at his long legs, and suddenly understood what he was talking about, and he felt instantly better.

He secretly tightened his muscles to make the lines of his body more appreciable, but he put on a cold and reserved look on his face, then cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Xiao, you can't do this, special service It's a different price."

Xiao Cheng: "!!!"

Open the door, open the door, you, you, what car are you driving? !

The author has something to say: Su Heyan: I can also provide special services

Xiao Cheng: ...
