After such a short time, the blacksmith did not know where he went.

However, the back of the theater building, which has been burned into ruins, is obviously much cleaner than the front hall, which shows that people often come here to stay.

There are not many rooms in the backyard of the theater building. There are rooms for stacking musical instruments and sundries, as well as firewood rooms and exercise rooms. The largest room in the middle is where the troupe puts on makeup before performing on stage.

Both of them walked cautiously, guessing which room the blacksmith would be in.

At this moment, Wu Xiajiu and Shi's deputy team looked at one of the rooms at the same time, and there was some slight movement in there, someone.

The Shi deputy team immediately took Wu Xiajiu to hide in the empty firewood room, which was full of scorched marks, the walls, the ground...

There were no windows to block them, so the two hid under the wall, listening intently to the sounds outside.

Not long after, there was a soft door opening sound from that room, someone came out from inside, and then the footsteps sounded and gradually disappeared.

"Go." Wu Xiajiu whispered.

They wanted to enter the room to find out after the blacksmith left.

The door of the room was not closed tightly, and it opened with a push. This room is very large, and it is messy and charred after being burned. There are many theater boxes and costumes piled up in the corners and other places, but they are all in tatters and badly burned. .

And most of the curtains used to cover the costumes were burned, and the parts that could not fall off were pulled on the beams, and a lot of dust fell down.

Some beams were broken and fell to the ground, and the roof had a big hole through which the sun shone, and the falling dust was very obvious in the sunlight.

There are also several broken mirrors in the room, which are placed on the countertop used for makeup.

Wu Xiajiu walked over and found that one of the countertops was much cleaner than the others. It looked like it had been cleaned and tidied up. There was also a set of burnt-out outfits, tiaras, hair accessories and clothes on the countertop.

The clothes have been carefully arranged, and the tiaras and hair accessories are placed on them.

"This is Danjiao's makeup." Shi's deputy came over and said.

He was still wearing the pair of white gloves on his hand, and he was holding the knife in one hand, while touching this carefully crafted but burnt and blackened costume with the other. He turned over the collar, and a name was impressively embroidered on the side.

"Hua Yanling." Wu Xiajiu read out softly.

Obviously, this name is the owner of this outfit, perhaps the stage name used in singing.

Just by listening to the name, one can imagine how popular the owner of this outfit was in the opera troupe at that time. Not everyone can have a stage name for singing in this era...

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but exchanged glances with Deputy Team Shi, and then looked around. His gaze suddenly stopped at one place, and he said, "There seems to be a small door there."

"Go and have a look."

The two walked over.

It seems to be an inner compartment specially used to store opera performance equipment. After opening the inconspicuous small door, there is a very narrow and short corridor behind.

And at the end of the corridor is another door with a lock on it, but the lock is open at this moment, and the door is also half covered.

The blacksmith obviously came in here before.

Wu Xiajiu was in the front, and Shi's deputy was behind. The two walked lightly and gradually approached.

Finally, Wu Xiajiu slowly pushed open the small padlocked door at the end of the corridor.

——The situation in the small door is almost clear at a glance. There is only one bed placed against the wall, while light and transparent white gauze bed curtains hang down on both sides, and there is a faint brownish yellow "thing" on the bed.

what is that?

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning slightly, he walked into the small door, approached the bed, and raised the bed curtain on one side with one hand.

Immediately, he couldn't help but opened his eyes—because the light brown "thing" turned out to be an amber the size of half a person, and there was a curled up person in the amber.

It is said to be a human being, but in fact, it is difficult to see the appearance of a human being.

"He" seemed to have been tortured before his death, and the exposed side face still retained an expression of extreme pain. Because the pain was unbearable, he hugged his body tightly with both hands, and folded his legs against his abdomen...

This is also a posture of self-protection.

Wu Xiajiu could clearly see through the amber that the person sealed inside had scratched his clothes in pain, and his face and body were covered with residual bloodstains.

On his exposed arm, bone spurs protruded one by one, and the color of the skin was also very wrong.

Especially from the waist down, the skin became swollen, and the feet and legs were deformed, like... bug's feet.

Wu Xiajiu frowned, put down the white gauze bed curtain, and stopped looking at it.

He turned around and said to the deputy team: "Let's go, get out of here first, that blacksmith is obviously only out for a while, and he may be back soon."

If they stayed any longer, they might run into each other head-on.

Naturally, Shi's deputy team had no objections, nodded and left with him, and walked outside the small gate.

But as soon as the two of them left the small corridor and re-entered the backstage room where the troupe used to make up and change clothes, they heard footsteps not far from the door.

—It was the blacksmith who came back.

Shi's deputy team reacted quickly. He immediately pulled Wu Xiajiu's wrist, led him to the wall, opened a large suitcase stacked here, and said in an inaudible voice, "Go in."

The suitcase is a long wooden box used by troupes to store all kinds of long and short robes, such as official clothes, boa robes, palace clothes, etc. It is very large and can accommodate two people squeezed inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Xiajiu bent down and got in.

Immediately afterwards, Deputy Team Shi stepped into the box and closed the lid with a gentle movement, and the room returned to silence.

After a while, the door opened and the blacksmith walked in.

Wu Xiajiu hid in the box, and the moment the box lid was closed tightly, his eyes suddenly became dark. After a while, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he was able to see the person in front of him a little bit clearly.

He's now at the bottom of the box with the Time Vice on him.

As if afraid of crushing him, Shi's deputy propped up the bottom of the box with one hand, supporting a little gap, although the gap was only about one centimeter, or even less than one centimeter.

The two were so close to each other, as if their breaths were intertwined.

Wu Xiajiu could clearly feel the breath of Shi's deputy team spraying on his neck, causing waves of slight heat and itching, and he probably did the same...

And the heartbeats of the two are so close that they can count the number of times they beat each other clearly.

For a while, Wu Xiajiu couldn't even identify where the blacksmith was going outside the long wooden box, and whether he had entered the small door.

He couldn't move in the box, and soon his blood stopped flowing, his hands and feet were numb, and he couldn't help frowning.

Seemingly aware of his patience and discomfort, Shi's deputy captain slowly leaned down and approached him, leaning his head close to his ear and whispering: "Persist for a while, this box is really not as big as the wardrobe in Cheng Jiqian's room. It is convenient for you to stand up straight and stretch your hands and feet."

"But at this moment, we can only hide here, what do you think, little policeman."

At the end, he seemed to chuckle, but the sound was too short, and soon disappeared.

Wu Xiajiu could only feel a sudden heat in the earlobe, it was the hot air spraying on it, his scalp was slightly numb, and there was an indescribable and inexplicable feeling on his back.

Wu Xiajiu's eyes widened a little, and he looked at Vice Captain Shi.

you know?

Even though it was in the dark environment, the vice-captain Shi seemed to understand what he wanted to ask.

When the deputy team was still in the original posture, the voice was inaudible and hoarse, only Wu Xiajiu could hear it.

He said: "I saw you come out of the room and then left. Since you look good and fit my aesthetics, I didn't pursue it further."

"Otherwise, if Director Li finds out about this matter, you will definitely be kicked out of the police force."

"I can choose not to report it, but you have to tell me, what do you want to do when you sneak into the room where the deputy team sleeps?"

As he spoke, the white-gloved finger of Deputy Captain Shi gently brushed across Wu Xiajiu's neck, as if threatening, but also as if...

Wu Xiajiu said in a low voice: "The blacksmith has entered the small door, get up."

The vice-team's fingers snapped.

Just when Wu Xiajiu was on guard secretly, he stood up according to the words, and gently and silently opened a gap in the long wooden box. First, he observed the situation outside, and then opened the lid of the box.

He stood up from it, showing no signs of numbness in his hands or feet.

Wu Xia didn't understand for a long time, the vice-captain Shi had longer hands and feet, taller and stronger than him, why in this box, the vice-captain Shi had nothing to do, but his legs were numb?

Now I dare not even stand up, so I can only slow down for a while.

When the deputy team stepped out of the box, squatted beside him and looked at him, with an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I was just kidding you, don't look at me so guardedly."

"I know, do you want to find out about the Cheng family's zombie incident, so as to protect Director Li?"

Wu Xiajiu: "...um."

Deputy Captain Shi: "Our goals are the same. Since we both want to protect Director Li, why don't you trust me more."

"What do you want to do?" Wu Xiajiu looked at him suspiciously.

Shi's vice-team curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled. He first reached out to pick up the two bundles of knives, then stood up and bent over, and unexpectedly carried Wu Xiajiu out of the long wooden box with one hand.

Wu Xiajiu was so frightened by his unexpected action that he opened his eyes, and subconsciously put his hands around the neck of the deputy team leader...

Through the small door at the end of the corridor, the blacksmith brought a new quilt from nowhere.

He spread out the quilt, covered it on the amber, and carefully tidied up the corners of the quilt.

Then, he hugged Amber and lay on the bed, put his head on it and said in a hoarse voice, "Yanzhi, it's been cold recently, you are most afraid of the cold, I will add a quilt for you, and sleep here with you at night. "

"Don't be afraid, Yanzhi, I will always be by your side to accompany you."

After he finished speaking, he approached again, and a piece of jade pendant slipped out of his neck due to the movement, and when it collided with amber, it made a clear "ding".
