Sourness

Mi Yue had something on her mind, so she didn't dare to sleep deeply all night.Just as he dozed off in a daze, he was awakened by the noise from downstairs.

There are people walking downstairs.

Mi Yue carefully opened the door and looked out, the lights in the corridor on the second floor were dark, only a blur of light coming from the stairs.On the other side of the corridor, the door of Lao Mao's room was also tightly closed.

Mi Yue went to the stairs with bare feet and looked down, and saw two men coming out of the guest room dragging a large suitcase.The suitcase with a hard shell does not have any weight, but the person who carries the suitcase is very careful.

At this time, the rain had stopped, but the air was still full of moisture. Looking out from the window, the part of the yard that was not paved with floor tiles was still full of water.

Mi Yue thinks that these people's vigilance is really high, are they planning to leave before dawn?

The monkey and the aromatherapy ball disappeared together, and they probably wanted to prevent someone with a heart from noticing something wrong.

Mi Yue couldn't just let them go.Because of these escaped fish who got away with it, the bandits who entered and exited the tombs of Lingxi Mountain were repeatedly banned.

Two of his senior brothers once confronted tomb robbers head-on, and one of his senior brothers was injured in his arm, which has not healed until now. When it is rainy, his arm hurts so much that he can't lift it up.

More than half of Mi Yue's homework since she was a child was taught by this senior brother. If the tomb robber was let go under his nose, he would be sorry to his senior brother!

Mi Yue tiptoed back to the room.At this juncture, he didn't care whether there would be any disturbances, and as soon as the door was closed, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Lin Qingshan.

After such a thing happened, Lin Qingshan really didn't sleep, and simply gave him instructions, "Try to hold him back."

Mi Yue hung up the phone, thought for a while, and beckoned to Da Mao, "Have you ever been in the nearby woods?"

Da Mao nodded.It has been living in this mountain hotel with these people for two days.Occasionally, it can also catch the opportunity to go out and let the wind go.

There are no other customers in the store, and these people know that it will come back after going out for a while, so they are not so strict with it.

Da Mao knows how to read words and colors, so it never runs out after dark.I ran out at night today because I was so hungry, I couldn't help thinking of Mi Yue to find something to eat.

Sure enough, its careless move drew them all out to look for it everywhere.

Mi Yue asked it again, "Are there any monkeys in the forest?"

Da Mao hesitated for a moment, then scratched his arm in frustration, "Yes. But they don't take me to play."

Miyue stroked its head soothingly, "Then can you find them?"

It's not difficult.Da Mao nodded and said, "Yes."

Mi Yue smiled, "Da Mao, I want to ask you for a favor."

Mi Yue pulled Da Mao and murmured how to help, when she heard someone knock on the door twice.It is a very light knocking method, almost like knocking on the door lightly with your fingertips.

Mi Yue's heart skipped a beat.

This trick is definitely not the group of people downstairs.

Da Mao had already understood his plan, and patted his chest proudly, "Leave it to me!"

"I'll go too!" Xiaomao jumped on the window sill, "I can help too!"

Mi Yue carefully opened the window, listened to the movement outside, and then released the two furry ones.

It was still dark at the moment, and there were no lights in the backyard. Even if there was light from the windows on the first floor, the light was very blurry, and it couldn't be seen clearly before it spread to the edge of the vegetable garden.

Mi Yue watched Da Mao and Xiao Mao melt into the dark night without a sound, then turned around and walked to the door, and gently opened the door.

The one standing outside the door was indeed an old cat.

The old cat was carrying a small backpack in his hand, and when he saw him open the door, he raised a finger and made a silent gesture.

Behind him, a faint light came through the stairs, mixed with rustling sounds.

Those downstairs are still busy.

Mi Yue let the old cat in, closed the door carefully, and then asked him in a low voice, "Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with us? What are you doing here?"

The old cat's face was a little fuzzy in the dark, but when he spoke, his voice was light and nonchalant, "It's okay, but it's okay to be defensive."

Mi Yue rolled her eyes, "Defense against what?"

The old cat went to the window and looked out, then turned back and threw the black bag in his hand on the bed, "Come, pick one."

Mi Yue was confused, "What?"

The old cat opened the backpack with a swipe.

Mi Yue heard a strange sound, it was a heavy but crisp sound made by metal products colliding together, which seemed a bit cool in the night.

Mi Yue unconsciously shivered.

"This." The old cat took out something from the backpack and handed it over. "For an inexperienced person like you, this is suitable for self-defense...it's lighter."

Mi Yue felt that the old cat's eyes seemed to be able to see what he wanted to see through the darkness.At least he didn't see any difference between the things spread out on the quilt.

Even after the old cat finished saying this, Mi Yue realized that what he stuffed into his hand was a dagger.

"Why do you..." Miyue wanted to ask him how he could carry such things in the car, but he quickly realized that the law and order around Lingxi Mountain is not very good, and many people would bring something with them when they go out Something, like a stick or something, to give yourself peace of mind.

In addition to two fruit knives in Mi Yue's own car, there are also two steel pipes hidden under the seat.

But the fruit knife is different from what he is holding now.He raised the dagger given to him by the old cat, and carefully looked at it in the dim light of the window.This dagger is heavy, with the scabbard inside, the length is only about ten centimeters, and the cowhide sheath has a hidden buckle at the handshake, so it is easy to get rid of the scabbard.

It is a very practical thing.

Miyue suppressed the palpitations in her heart, and said thank you.

"Just in case." The old cat still had a nonchalant tone, "But I see, they probably don't want to cause any trouble." After a pause, it seemed that he should speak more clearly, and then Added, "I think they are in a hurry to leave. It has nothing to do with us, just wait."

Mi Yue's heart moved, "What if I don't want them to go?"

The old cat looked up at him, as if he was a little surprised that he would say this.

The two looked at each other silently in the dark.

"These people," Lao Mao said carefully, "don't mess with them."

Mi Yue knew that such people, including Wang Xiaohu who was used to looting in Qingshui Town, were not easy to mess with.But there is no one in their line of work who doesn't hate grave robbers.Countless times, because of their wanton acts of vandalism, the staff of the institute had to chase after them to perform salvage excavations.

The most infuriating thing is that they themselves don't even know the extent of the damage they have caused,

But it's an ancient tomb...

It's just a broken bowl...

It's just a roll of rags...

Mi Yue has heard such words countless times.

"I know they are not easy to mess with," Mi Yue gritted her teeth in secret, "Just let them go like this, and I don't know how much damage it will cause in the future. Have you forgotten what I do?"

The old cat looked at him warily, "Did you call the police?"

Mi Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at him with the same vigilance.The darkness blurred the outlines of the two people, but Miyue clearly heard his breathing and after a moment's pause, he let out a long breath.

Mi Yue knew he had made a decision.

In the current situation, even if the old cat jumped out and said that the two of them were not in the same group, the group of people downstairs probably wouldn't believe it.So whether he likes it or not, they are all grasshoppers tied to a string.

"Wait and see." The old cat quickly sorted out the cause and effect, and said calmly, "Don't make any noise."

At this time, it is meaningless to ask whether Mi Yue should have disregarded her own safety and called the police.It would be ideal for the people downstairs not to provoke them, but if they notice something, they have to be prepared.

As soon as he made a sound, Mi Yue quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't trust Lao Mao in his heart, they were all allies whether they liked it or not, and if there was internal strife, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

In fact, Mi Yue suspected at first that it was the old cat who brought him into the den of thieves, but after looking at it later, she didn't think so.The old cat obviously didn't know the situation in the hotel either.

"At first, I thought you were an accomplice to them." Mi Yue whispered.

He couldn't hide his words in his heart, and saying this was a disguised apology to him.

Although it was annoying for the old cat to insist on walking with him, it did not do anything against him along the way.

The old cat seemed to laugh.

Mi Yue was a little embarrassed, "You know what I mean."

The old cat suddenly took two steps closer, and hissed softly at him.

"Someone came up."

Mi Yue also heard movement from outside the door.

Someone went upstairs, knocked a few times on the door of the guest room opposite, and knocked again after a while.

Mi Yue didn't know what they were going to do, and she didn't even dare to vent her breath.

After about a minute or two, the man knocked on Miyue's door again.

One sound, another sound.

Neither light nor heavy, neither fast nor slow.

Mi Yue's heart was suspended.

The old cat said with a suppressed voice, "Don't make any noise."

The people outside waited again, then turned and went downstairs.Mi Yue heard his footsteps walking towards the stairs, and only then noticed that the old cat seemed a little too close to him.

Mi Yue was a little unhappy, feeling that she was underestimated by him.Is the old cat so close because he is afraid that he will scream in fright and mess things up? !

The old cat didn't notice what he was thinking, but instead explained patiently, "They're just asking about our attitude. We've made it clear that we won't meddle in other people's business, so they're relieved."

These are the ways that Mi Yue doesn't understand.With his popular science, he seemed to be in debt to the old cat again.

Mi Yue's hair felt stuffy.

Seeing that he was silent, the old cat asked him again, "When will the police come?"

Miyue couldn't answer this question either.

"It's not important." Mi Yue gritted her teeth, "The important thing is that they will definitely come, and I... must keep everyone here."

The old cat was surprised, "Why stay?"

The author has something to say:

Old cat: how to stay?

Miyue: Guess~~~
