[Comprehensive] Sherlock is going to be kicked by a donkey

After chatting with Mrs. Holmes, Josie returned to her room to pack her luggage. There was a sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the glass outside the window. She put down the clothes in her hand and walked over to open the window. Sherlock on the opposite side put away I bought a four or five meter long fishing rod for knocking on the window.

"Can't you text me? It's cold outside, and the heating in the room won't be warm when you open the window." The cold wind blows the broken hair on Josie's forehead, and she took off her gloved hands after entering the room. On the window handle, the metal handle becomes cold when exposed to low temperatures, "and shouting so loudly that people in the street can hear what we are saying."

"You didn't tell me you were back for Christmas." Sherlock was only wearing pajamas and nightgown, but he looked less afraid of the cold than Josie in a sweater.

Josie rubbed her palms, the cold wind was blowing in, she was too cold to explain too much to Sherlock, she just wanted to close the window now, "I'll text you, it's too cold and I'm going to close the window. "

After Josie finished speaking, without waiting for Sherlock to reply, she reached out and closed the window, then took out her phone from her pocket and edited a text message to Sherlock.

"I thought you knew, I just came back for the holidays." —— Sherlock, who was opposite jj, glanced at the text message, and then closed the window of his own room. go away.

Sherlock read her text message but didn't reply, Josie scratched her head, she had a premonition that Sherlock was going to come to her directly.

It turned out that she was right. Sherlock, who had changed his clothes, appeared at the door of her room 10 minutes later, accompanied by her father's yelling from downstairs.

"Hi, long time no see." Josie greeted Sherlock after opening the door, and then turned sideways to make way, "Come in, I have something to tell you."

This is not the first time Sherlock has entered Josie's room. Sherlock often came to see her when she was a child, but this is indeed the first time since Josie went abroad for three years and didn't come back. Sherlock stood by the wall and looked around. Throughout the room, it can be seen that Mrs. Jonathan often cleans this room. Even though no one has lived here for three years, the room is still very clean and tidy. The only messy place is the pile of clothes thrown by Josie because of packing the luggage Bed, he finally chose to sit on a single soft sofa.

"What's the matter?" Sherlock stretched his legs freely, put his elbows on the sofa handles, and crossed his fingers.

The floor of the room was already a little crowded because of two suitcases being opened. Sherlock's legs stretched out so casually and took up a lot of space. Josie looked at Sherlock dissatisfied with her hips crossed, " Change your posture and sit properly, don't stretch your legs like this, my room is not big enough."

"You can step over," said Sherlock. "The natural stretch of limbs helps my health."

"Do you want me to praise you for your long legs?"

"My legs are the same length as my height, so there's nothing to brag about."

Josie raised her forehead, she didn't intend to talk nonsense with Sherlock, so she chose to step over his legs and sit down on the chair in front of the computer desk, "Well... what I want to say has no scientific basis , but it happened for real, not long after I got off the plane in London, I started to have a very strong sense of insecurity, and I felt that someone was watching me."

"Mycroft's people have been with your parents to protect them."

Josie shook her head, "No, no, it's not Mycroft's people, I can hear Mycroft's people's heart, but no matter how I use my ability, I can't find the source of that feeling, but I'm sure, someone is staring at me, and my ability is likely to be ineffective against it, just like... just like Irene Adler in Canada back then, I'm still not sure if she is real It's still fake."

Sherlock frowned. Josie's words confused him. He didn't know anything about super powers, and he didn't even know about them. He didn't even know about Josie's abilities, let alone other things. People, "What about the sense of distance?"

"?" Josie didn't understand what Sherlock meant.

"As for the source of this feeling, do you think it is close or far away?"

Josie lowered her head and pondered for a while, "It was very close at first, but after I got in the car where my parents came to pick me up, it felt a lot further away, and when I got home, it felt even further away. Could it be that this person is not far away now? close by?"

Josie shivered at the thought of the first time she felt this way at the airport. At that time, she felt very, very close. If Sherlock's statement is true, then the person who stared at her at the airport had He may have been standing somewhere beside her, watching her.

"Oh," Josie sighed, "I'm afraid of aliens in the United States, but I still worry about being watched when I come back to England..."

"Mycroft and S.H.I.E.L.D. have been watching you," Sherlock added.

"..." Qiao Qian said helplessly, "I know, I also know that you also have your own intelligence network popping up around me from time to time, but this time is different, this person is not even spying on me, but... Staring at me makes me feel like I have been exposed to that person's eyes all the time. Just thinking about it makes me tired enough. Live in fear."

Sherlock didn't speak. He looked at Josie, who was sitting backwards with her chin on the back of the chair. The latter looked frustrated, "I'll investigate the new and old residents nearby. You're staying at home during this time."

"Auntie told me that you are very busy recently, why don't I contact Natasha? Could it be related to Adam Adrian's incident last time? Natasha and the captain failed to catch him in Canada last time." he."

"I haven't heard from him recently, and Mycroft has no information about him."

Josie yawned. She had just returned to London for less than five hours, and the drowsiness caused by jet lag hit her, but she couldn't go to sleep. Mom and Dad don't plan to move to other places, I really want to find a job in China and move to China, even if I can't immigrate and get a work visa to settle in for a long time, I am very satisfied."

"You want to go to China?" Sherlock frowned, as if expressing his disapproval of Josie's idea.

Josie raised her eyebrows, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

"...you haven't graduated yet."

"Well, I thought you already knew that I signed a one-year internship contract with Stark Industries. It doesn't matter to me whether I graduate or not. It's just a certificate anyway." Josie rubbed herself because of yawning. teary eyes.

"I know," Sherlock paused, "Your parents don't speak Chinese, and it will be very difficult to move to China."

"Well... I'm also worried about this..." Josie doesn't want to work too far away from her parents in the future, so London would be a good choice. As for Adam Adrian, if he really doesn't intend to let himself go, Even if you go to China, you may not be able to escape, "I'm just saying, although it is true that I want to go to China, I have encountered too many strange things during this period, I really want to change A place where I feel safe to relax and unwind.”

Josie leaned her head on the back of the chair while talking, and Sherlock looked at the sleepy Josie in silence.

I don't know what Sherlock was thinking, but Josie was too sleepy to use her ability to listen now, and she looked at Sherlock with eyes that were slightly open in a daze.

The two people in the room didn't speak any more. Just when Josie was so quiet that she almost fell asleep, Carly's voice came from downstairs——

"Josie! Josie! Have you packed your luggage? The cedar I ordered has arrived. Come down and help plant it on the lawn in the front yard? How about planting it by the door?"

Josie was startled by Carly's voice. She rubbed her eyes, stretched herself, then stood up and responded downstairs, "I'll be coming down."

"Do you want to come together?" Josie asked Sherlock, who looked up at her, "Come down and plant a Christmas tree with me."

In addition to placing fake Christmas trees in Josie's house every year, Carly sometimes likes to order real cedar trees that are only one meter high and plant them in the yard, and then put decorations on them. Josie was young Hou often decorated these real cedars with Allen. The tallest cedar was more than ten meters high and was planted when Josie was five years old. Up to now, there have been six cedars in the front and back yards. Yes, every Christmas Carly and Ellen decorate them with lights and baubles.

This year is the first time for Qiao Qian to go home for Christmas after studying in the United States for three years. Parents always like to find various opportunities to watch their children do things they used to do when they were young. Carly was no exception, so when she learned that Josie was home for the holidays, she went to order a cedar.

Carly took out a shovel and a water bottle and put them at the door. Seeing Sherlock follow Josie down the stairs, she called out, "Sherlock, do you want to plant cedars with Josie?"

Sherlock nodded, and Josie picked up a shovel and gloves and handed them to him, "Put the gloves on."

Sherlock had seen Josie and Allen planting cedars before, but this was the first time he had planted cedars with Josie.Carly said that Alan went to the supermarket to buy Christmas tree ornaments and hadn't come back, so they asked them to start planting the tree first, and then decorate with the other six cedars after Alan bought the things.

With the guidance of experienced Josie, the cedar planting went smoothly. It didn't take long for them to plant the cedar. Sherlock threw the shovel on the grass, then took off his gloves and sat on the doorstep, watching Josie carried a water bottle filled with water to water the cedars that had just been planted in the soil.

When Allen drove back to the door of the house, he saw such a picture of harmonious coexistence, but the most eye-catching thing was not this, but the cedar that had been planted—the cedar that had been planted by Josie and Sherlock.

wtf? !

Allen parked the car and got down with two shopping bags in his hand.

"Josie, have you and Sherlock planted the cedar?"

Josie stopped what she was doing, straightened up and looked at Ellen who was walking towards her, "Yes, Dad, how is it? The planting is not bad, right? I am familiar with the method you taught me."

"And Sherlock?" Alan gritted his teeth a little bit, even Sherlock couldn't help but look at him.

"...That's right." Josie didn't know why Alan suddenly looked so ugly.

Allen looked at the Christmas tree that had just been planted in the soil and thought angrily. The other six cedar trees in the yard were planted by him and his daughter bit by bit, starting when his daughter was five years old. It has been 16 years since he planted the first cedar tree. Planting a cedar tree is a very precious shared memory between him and his daughter. The daughter finally came home for Christmas. He wanted to plant a cedar again with his daughter, but Unexpectedly, Sherlock stepped in.

"Very good, huh, it's planted very well." Allen put down the shopping bag and entered the house. When passing by Sherlock, he didn't forget to glance at the top of Sherlock who was sitting on the steps in front of the door....

"..." Josie looked suspiciously at the back of Alan entering the room.

So is this good, or bad?

Sherlock looked at the shopping bag on the ground, which was full of Christmas tree decorations. He pointed to the bag and asked Josie, "Do you want to put all of these in?"

Josie nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, there are seven cedar trees in total, and the tallest one is more than ten meters long. I'm sorry to trouble you, you have long legs."

"..."
