Little ginseng is super sticky

"Give me an Americano, please, and go ice."

Mu Qi took the dining number, found a table by the window and sat down, staring intently at the building across the road, looking upwards from the "Muxing Group" signboard with a purple bull head at the gate, many floors are still With the lights on, many employees still work overtime on their own during the New Year's Eve.

Finally, his sight fell on the top floor.

I don't know when Mu Qingyao will come.

Their eyes sank, and they didn't know how much they knew about A Yuan.

Suddenly, he felt an abnormally cold liquid in his left hand, accompanied by the boy's exclamation

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, paper, here's a piece of paper, wipe it..."

Mu Qi frowned and raised his hand. The back of his hand was full of iced coffee, wet and sticky. He took the paper from the boy and kept wiping his hand.

The boy kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the road just now. I tripped and slipped the coffee in my hand. Do you think this watch still works? If there is a problem, I will pay you for the maintenance... ..."

Mu Qi immediately looked at the watch, the dial and strap were stained with coffee, the light on the screen became dimmed by several degrees, it is estimated that there was water in the dial.

He immediately took off the watch and wrapped it in a tissue.

At the same time, the waiter who delivered the food saw the dispute here, and quickly walked over: "My customer, we have a hair dryer in the lounge. Let me dry your watch and see if I can save you. Loss."

After just talking for a while, the dial became darker again. Mu Qi pondered for a moment, then handed him the watch.

The waiter took the watch with one hand, and handed the coffee to his table with the other, "Your iced Americano, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

The boy still had a guilty expression on his face, he stood awkwardly by the side and didn't know what to do, Mu Qi lowered the brim of his hat, waved his hand to signal that nothing happened, and let him go.

There was a small episode, and he sat back in his seat after the waiter mopped the floor clean.

Turning his head to look at the gate of the Muxing Group again, there is still no sign of Mu Qingyao coming out, could something have happened.

There are some freshly bought frozen meats in the trunk and they have to be put in the refrigerator as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the taste. Ah Yuan has a picky mouth and likes to eat fresh meat.Mu Qi held the coffee cup impatiently.

Ah Yuan is probably still sleeping, so let him rest more, he has to stay up late tonight to watch the New Year.

However, after a wave of customers around him changed, Mu Qingyao still did not arrive as scheduled. Mu Qi knocked on the wall of the cup with his index finger, finally stood up uncontrollably, and strode towards the ordering counter, "Excuse me, what time is it now?" .”

The waiter glanced at the time on the phone, "11:16."

Mu Qi felt strange, more than two hours had passed since Mu Qingyao's text message, and she hadn't appeared yet.

"Give me my watch, please."

Hearing this, the waiter went to the staff lounge, quickly took out the watch, and handed it over with both hands, "Unfortunately, I have already used the hair dryer for the first time, but the inside of it may have been damaged due to water ingress, and the machine has crashed."

Mu Qi took the watch, pressed the screen, but there was no response in the dark, he put it in his pocket, thanked him, turned and left.

After crossing the road, he walked quickly to the front desk of the building, and said anxiously to the front desk staff: "Hello, I want to find Mu Qingyao."

The front desk looked at him with a hat on his face and a mask to cover himself tightly, and he was wary, "Excuse me, do you have an appointment? Our Manager Mu does not accept any non-appointment interviews."

Seeing that Mu Qi was silent, the front desk continued: "You can leave your name and contact information, and I will contact Manager Mu's assistant later to arrange for you... Oh, no, you can't just go in like this... "

Mu Qi evaded her obstruction with quick eyes and hands, jumped across the security railing, and pressed the up button of the elevator. There were chaotic footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw that it was a security guard rushing with a baton.

He pressed the elevator button for a long time, as if the elevator would come quickly, but unfortunately, the elevator in front of him was going down, and he had to go to the underground parking lot to go up.

Seeing that the security guards were about to rush over, Mu Qi pursed his lips, planning to take the green passage.

At this time, the elevator door opened, and there was a surprised voice: "Brother?"

Mu Qi stopped suddenly, looked at Mu Qingyao coming out of the elevator holding his mobile phone, and saw his excited expression.Mu Qi squeezed her wrist and led her to the corner of the hall.

When the security guards saw their manager being arrested, they yelled for Mu Qi to stop, but they saw Mu Qingyao raising his hand and pressing down on them, telling them not to follow.

They looked at each other inexplicably, whether to go or not, and finally stopped, looking at Mu Qi warily from a relatively long distance.

Mu Qingyao rubbed the wrist that was reddened by Mu Qi, glanced left and right cautiously, and whispered: "Brother, I was about to call you, but I couldn't get through, why did you come to the company?"

Mu Qi's patience ran out, "Didn't you send me a text message to ask me to wait for you at the Starbucks across the street? But you never came, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Mu Qingyao was stunned, "What text message, I haven't sent it..."

Mu Qi frowned deeply, his heartbeat missed half a beat, and he wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Mu Qingyao: "Brother, time is running out, I will make a long story short while I have the opportunity now."

"My mom isn't my mom, she's a monster."

Mu Qi was startled, not understanding what she meant.

Mu Qingyao glanced around again warily, and leaned closer to Mu Qi, "That's not accurate, it should be said that sometimes she is my mother, and sometimes she becomes a monster as if controlled by something. I have been deceived by her for so many years, and I only found out on the eve of my engagement.

"That night, Wang Bohao and I quarreled over a trivial matter. The quarrel was so fierce that we even wanted to cancel the engagement banquet the next day. It was because I spoke too aggressively that day and touched his bottom line. He was very angry. I Mom went to Wang Bohao to say good things and clear up our relationship. Although I was annoyed, I couldn't save my face to apologize. I thought Wang Bohao would not forgive me this time, but I didn't expect him to come back immediately and make up with me. As if I had never been angry, I was very happy at that time, but I was also curious about what method my mother used to persuade him, and I didn't ask him.

"Wang Bohao woke up suddenly that night. I was woken up by the movement of him getting up. I talked to him in a daze, but he ignored me. I followed him strangely and found him into my mother's study. A terrible thing."

Having said that, Mu Qingyao's face is not very good:

"My mother's eyeballs turned blue, which was very weird. She said to Wang Bohao that Xiaoyao has a bad temper, so you have to be more tolerant. You love her very much, and you will always be with her. It's very strange. The tone is hypnotic."

Mu Qi was stunned, how could his eyes turn blue.

Mu Qingyao was afraid when she thought about it, "But I was too panicked at the time. When I ran away, I accidentally bumped into the door and made a noise, telling them to find out. My mother came out at that time, looking at me with her blue eyes, He even touched my head and said: You will forget what happened tonight, and everything will be as usual when you wake up tomorrow."

"I was so scared to death that I didn't dare to say a word. I vaguely felt that she was casting a spell on me, so I pretended to be hypnotized by her and went back to the room alone. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. In the middle of the night, Wang Bohao also came back, but I found that he seemed to be watching my activities all the time, and I found that my mobile phone and computer were taken away by my mother, and before the mobile phone was taken away, I called you It was because of this that I told you not to come. Immediately afterwards, the next day, a few strong men came to monitor my whereabouts, and a camera was installed in the room.

I guess she cast a spell on me, but she still has doubts about me, afraid that I will tell her things. "

Mu Qi's pupils dilated slightly, it was the first time he had heard of such a shocking thing.

Mu Qingyao: "However, I found one thing, that is, once I realized her true face, her spells would no longer work on me, and every time afterwards I pretended that the spells worked. I even I wonder if she used to use this spell on brother, you, and father, what is true and what is false..."

Mu Qi was startled.

Mu Qingyao hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Brother, is your friend ginseng essence?"

Mu Qi's expression changed, and he held her shoulder, "How did you know that?"

Mu Qingyao: "I overheard my mother say that after searching for so many years, I finally found it, and it was by your side. I saw that boy at home the other day who could teleport, so I guessed that he Later, my mother asked me to call you to come to the house, and I could only tactfully express on the phone that you are single in the whole family, and let you come alone. Fortunately, you understand."

Mu Qi's complexion turned pale. It was just a coincidence that Ah Yuan actually went with him, but he kept hiding in his pocket like a ginseng.

Mu Qingyao confides all the things she has done, trying to find some favor in her brother's heart, "Isn't my mother going to have blue eyes? I found that so many cats in our family have blue eyes, so I just I suspect that there is a problem between my mother and the cat, so what I said the other day was to remove the hair and remove the hair. In fact, I wanted to imply that there was something wrong with your cat. At that time, I had been thoroughly monitored. Do you understand?"

Mu Qingyao observed his expression, "Brother, you should understand? I think you don't plan to go home today on New Year's Eve, don't come back! I overheard my mother saying that there seems to be some action today, Why is the end of the year when the purple qi in the world is weakest, and it is the best time to do it. It is strange to say that just now I found out that the person monitoring me has disappeared, so I immediately ran down and wanted to talk to you about it ..."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Qi ran away with a hurried expression.

·

Suburban road.

The car was about to enter the winding mountain road section, Tang Jiefan slowed down the speed, "I said Xiao Yuanyuan, you must get something important on New Year's Eve, and you can call a city flash delivery..."

Ah Yuan's expression was serious and he didn't speak.

Tang Jiefan pouted, he had asked this question no less than five times along the way, and Ah Yuan didn't say a word, but from his expression, it could be seen that it should be a very important thing.

I don't know what happened to Archie, the phone suddenly couldn't get through, maybe it wasn't charging.

But Tang Jiefan felt that it would be better to come out for a trip, so as not to be dragged home to play mahjong with seven aunts and eight aunts, which was very boring.

The navigation prompts that the destination is about to be reached, Tang Jiefan tilted his head to look at the majestic villa, "Good guy, I know that Archie's family is rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich." It was his first time here, and he sighed several times.

"Manager, let's just park the car here, not at the entrance of the villa." A Yuan said hastily.

Tang Jiefan looked at the uneven haystack in front of him, and wondered why he had to stop in such a good parking lot at the entrance of the villa, but he still stopped.

When stepping on the brakes, Tang Jiefan suddenly realized, "Oh, I didn't expect to go out in a hurry just now, do I want to buy some gifts this time? After all, it's not good to go in empty-handed during the Chinese New Year..."

Ah Yuan unbuttoned her seat belt, "Manager, you are waiting for me here, you don't need to go in."

Tang Jiefan: "Huh?"

Before he could react, Ah Yuan opened the car door:

"Manager, I'll be back in a while, take me away immediately, and I'll explain the other things to you later."

Tang Jiefan also unbuckled his seat belt, "No...you wait!"

Ah Yuan added, "If I don't come back within an hour, the manager will go in and find me."

Tang Jiefan watched him go away in a daze. Ah Yuan's posture didn't look like he was going to get something, but rather that he was going to steal something.

A Yuan walked to the grassy slope diagonally opposite the Shepherd's Villa, and squatted down to observe the situation of the villa.

From the outside, it looks the same as the previous two visits, and there is nothing special about it.

It's impossible to go in ostentatiously. Although A Yuan can't guess who left the note at home, he knows that there must be a threat in this house, and the other party is most likely using Que Que as a bait to lure him to appear.

He still can't figure out when exactly what was exposed?Could it be the time when he broke into Mu Qingyao's room?

He took a deep breath, the most urgent task is to find the lack, if not successful, he will teleport away first, and then make a long-term plan.

A Yuan thought for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration flashed all over his body.

The next moment, he appeared on the fourth floor of the villa.

The last time he came, he searched the first to third floors, and now only the fourth floor has not been visited.

He approached the railing on the fourth floor, looked down, and found that Mu Tingxi was on the phone by the window, with a polite smile on his face, as if he was greeting someone.

There are no relatives at home, and looking around, there are still servants doing hygiene in twos and threes.But A Yuan suddenly felt that the house looked a little disturbing to him.

I didn't feel this way the last time I came here.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from the stairs behind him, accompanied by a conversation: "Housekeeper Xu, have you posted the blessing on the gate?"

"Not yet, I will order someone to go now."

"Add a bunch of firecrackers to decorate and hang on this vase of plum blossoms, it looks festive."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Ah Yuan panicked, she didn't expect to bump into Cheng Hui just now, and there was no place to hide around, Ah Yuan was anxious when the door beside her opened with a "squeak".

Fifteen's delicate and beautiful head protruded from the inside, and the fluffy tail slammed the door and made a "dumb" sound, as if reminding him.

After Ah Yuan saw it, she immediately got into the room where it was, and closed the door gently.

After talking with Butler Xu outside the door for a while, Cheng Hui slowly went downstairs again.

Ah Yuan's hanging heart fell back.

It was only at this time that he figured out why he felt restless when he came here today, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and a lot of bright red things had been added to the villa.

Fifteen was very clingy to him, happy to have him here, rubbing and turning around between his feet non-stop.

Ah Yuan had no intention of stroking the cat today, and bent down to ask it, "Do you know where Queque is? It's a sparrow, a bird that can fly."

I don't know if it can understand or not. The last time I came into contact with it, I found that it seems to have a little spirituality.

Fifteen seemed to have never heard of it, and rubbed against him obsessively.

Ah Yuan couldn't help being disappointed, he didn't stay any longer, he gently opened the door, and decided to find it by himself.

Fifteen rushed out from his feet, took two steps towards the depth of the corridor, looked back at him, and wagged his tail.

Ah Yuan looked at it, is it leading her way?

Ah Yuan hesitated for a while, then followed.

Fifteen took it to the end of the fourth floor.

Ah Yuan looked at the aluminum alloy door of this room, with frosted glass inlaid in the middle, it should be a bathroom.

Fifteen's tail slammed down on the door.

Ah Yuan quickly stretched out his hand towards the doorknob: "Is this here..."

From the corner of the eye, he suddenly saw the fluffy cat fur on Shiwu's body, full of luster, small and slender.

Ah Yuan suddenly withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and looked at it warily.

Shiwu tilted his head, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly didn't believe him, so he jumped up, grabbed the doorknob with his claws, and then smashed the door open with his body.

Ah Yuan clenched his palms tightly, ready to cast the spell of escape at any time, and peeked inside the door.

Then the whole person was shocked

Next to the bathtub, there was a birdcage. Inside the cage was a small tit whose fur had been plucked so badly that it was impossible to see its original shape. Its cheek was cut open by a sharp object, and there was a hideous scab on it.The little tit fell in the cage, as if it hadn't made a sound.

Ah Yuan's eyes turned red instantly, and she ran to the side of the cage tremblingly, "Que Que... Que Que..."

As he got closer, he found that the little tit's chest was still slightly heaving. When he heard someone calling his name, Quaque tried to raise his head with difficulty, but he couldn't. Ah Yuan hurriedly ran to the other side. looking at its face.

A faint light burst out from Que Que's eyes, "Ah Yuan, it's you."

Ah Yuan wanted to open the birdcage, but found that it was locked, and pulled the lock desperately, "It's me, I will rescue you immediately!"

Que Que's eye sockets were also wet, but he didn't even have the strength to cry, and looked at him tearfully, "Yuan...Yuan! Be careful!" It suddenly yelled hoarsely.

Ah Yuan subconsciously dodged to the side, reacted quickly but was still a step late, only heard a seductive "meow—" and his arm was scratched with a long bloodstain.

He stared back at the sudden attack on Shiwu in disbelief, and his arm began to ache.

At this time, on the [-]th, he changed his obedient appearance before, staring at A Yuan with azure blue eyes, approaching A Yuan with a seductive posture, suddenly opened his mouth, and said, "This stinky bird refuses to reveal it for life or death." Your whereabouts, thanks to the bird-hunting notices you sent all over the city, otherwise I would really not be able to find you."

Ah Yuan swallowed her saliva, fixed her eyes on it, kept opening the cage with her hand, grabbed the cage rod, trying to break it off, not knowing what material the cage was made of, he exerted all his strength, But did not see it being bent.

Fifteen jumped up, and slapped Ah Yuan again. The latter had been prepared this time, and rolled towards the back of the bathtub with the birdcage in his arms, avoiding it.The fifteen's claws were so powerful that it split the bathtub apart.

It missed a hit, and didn't continue to move forward. It snorted at Ah Yuan and quickly backed away. When it went out, it made a "bang" sound and slammed the door shut.

Que Que said weakly: "Ah Yuan, go away, leave me alone... This cat is a big monster, you can't beat it, everyone in this family is bewildered by her charms, the whole room is full of threats... ..."

Now that Ah Yuan has discovered it, it is impossible to abandon it. What Ah Yuan regrets at this time is why he didn't go deeper in the previous two searches, and found the defect earlier, so that it would suffer less.

"Go out and find something for you to get the cage." Ah Yuan ran to the door with the cage in his hand, and was just about to open the door, but his hand was hit by a strong resistance, and it was immediately bounced away, and even fell down uncontrollably. on the ground.

A hazy figure stood outside the frosted glass of the bathroom, fiddling with something on the door. Soon, a red thing was pasted on the door.

Cheng Hui murmured to himself outside the door, "Put the most beautiful window grille on this door..."

Ah Yuan stared at the red spherical outline, gritted his teeth, ignored the pain in his left arm, and fled to the window with the birdcage in his arms. Just as he opened the curtain, a delicate and treacherous window grille was pasted in the center of the window. He bumped into it, but was bounced off again, and slammed to the ground, protecting the birdcage in his arms.

"Queque, I'm going to find someone to help, you wait for me." Ah Yuan swallowed the bloody smell rising from his throat, and recited the mantra silently in his heart, the scent of medicine came out, but he still fell to the ground.

I read it several times, but it still didn't help.

Ah Yuan's face turned pale, and she couldn't get out.

The pain in the left shoulder became more severe, the paws of the demon cat were corrosive and scorched like fire, fine sweat broke out on Ah Yuan's forehead.

Que Que looked at him worriedly, "Ah Yuan... are you okay..."

Ah Yuan wanted to curl her lips to comfort it, but she accidentally passed out from the pain.

His consciousness wandered, and he returned to the foot of Baiyun Mountain with a flutter. He also felt a burning sensation around him, but his mood was pleasant.

The voice became more and more childish, "Brother Zai Zai, can you bake another fish for Yuan Bao?"

The boy looked up at the sky, "No, it will be dawn in a while, and if you don't go back, you will be discovered by your mother. You should go home quickly, your mother must be worried too."

Little Ah Yuan pouted, "Okay."

He got up, reluctantly took two steps up the mountain road, but stopped, "Brother Zai Zai, will we not see each other again in the future?"

The boy wanted to pretend to be cool and leave, but when he heard his words, he couldn't move his feet for a moment, "I will leave the morning after tomorrow, and it will be at this time tomorrow night. Right here, we can see each other for the last time."

After speaking, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and strode away.

Little Ah Yuan giggled and happily went up the mountain.

The second night.

Little A-Yuan rushed towards the creek panting, and her eyesight recovered somewhat. Although she still couldn't see clearly, she could see a vague outline.

Seeing him, the silhouette walked over immediately, complaining, "Why did you come here now?"

Little Ah Fang recognized the boy's voice and pressed against him stickily.

He wanted to come here in the afternoon and wait, but when the clansmen heard that he was going down the mountain again, fearing that he would be in danger, they took turns to stop him, and he managed to get rid of them.

Little Ah Yuan stuck out her tongue at him.

Then a glass bottle was stuffed into his arms, and he was busy holding it in both hands.

The boy said: "This is called Coke, it tastes better than milk."

Little Ah Yuan was delighted immediately, "Really!"

Just as the boy was about to laugh at his worthlessness, there were suddenly loud footsteps behind him and the flickering light of a flashlight.The boy's breathing became disordered for a moment, and he immediately pushed little Ah Yuan, "Hurry up and hide, hurry up!"

Little Ah Yuan didn't know why, so she froze for a while and still used teleportation to run up the mountain, found a place behind a rock, regained her ginseng shape, and buried half of her body in the soil.

He carefully observed the boy's movements with his ears.

There seemed to be a lot of people coming, only to hear the boy cry out in pain and fall to the ground.

Someone gave him a kick, "Say?! What about ginseng? Where did it go?"

The boy rolled in pain, "Mom, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know anything..."

The woman stepped on him and sneered, "You don't know? You don't know, why is there that ginseng essence coat in your bag?"

The boy bit his lip and said no more.

The cat in the woman's arms suddenly let out a "meow--" with a charming tone, and scratched his leg forcefully.

The woman leaned forward in front of the boy, her eyes turned blue, her tone softened, "Zai Zai, tell mom, where did the ginseng essence go?"

The boy was sweating profusely from the pain, and the sweat dripped into his eyes, and he half-closed his eyes from the salty pain, "I really don't know..." The pain was so painful that he passed out.

The woman kicked him wildly again, "You don't know, I know, you white-eyed wolf must have put the ginseng back on the mountain!"

Seeing this, the man behind him panicked and hurried forward, "Sister Hui, this kid is covered in injuries, so it's hard to explain to his father."

The woman said it was easy to handle, so she ordered a large basin of stream water to be poured on the boy's face.

"Cough..." The boy coughed and woke up, and when he saw the people around him and his mother with a dark complexion, he couldn't help shaking.

The woman picked up his chin with her fingernails, making him look at her, blue eyes reappeared: "Zai Zai, today you are playful, accidentally fell down from the mountain, hit your head, I can't remember what happened these few days ,do you know."

The boy's eyes were blurred, his lips moved, "Got it."

The woman grabbed his hair and slammed it on the ground, causing him to faint again.

"Come here, carry him to the car and take him to the county hospital."

In a haze, little Ah Yuan seemed to see a purple pattern on the rear of the van, like... like a cow.

Little Ah Yuan was so frightened that he ran wildly, ran and climbed back to the top of the mountain. He sat on the upper stream of the stream in a daze, looking at the Coke in front of him.

He cracked open the top cover with his teeth, but he didn't expect the carbonic acid bubbles inside to surge up, making him face.

……

Yuan suddenly woke up.

Found still lying in this wet bathroom.

He immediately looked at the birdcage, because Que Que was falling asleep at the moment due to exhaustion.

Ah Yuan hugged the birdcage tightly and shrank to the corner of the bathroom. In her mind, the purple head turning pattern she saw at the foot of Baiyun Mountain coincided with the pattern she saw on the car in the Mujia parking lot last time.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

It turns out that the owner is Brother Zai Zai.

Ah Yuan twirled the red string on her wrist and whimpered:

"Master, where are you, Ah Yuan really wants to drink Coke."
