Bao Le heard footsteps, raised his head slowly, and walked from not far away holding an umbrella.The street lamp next to the hotel has been in disrepair for a long time, and now only the fluorescent sign with the words "Sunshine Inn" at the door is on. The light is really weak, and people's faces cannot be seen clearly.All I knew was that the man was holding a transparent umbrella and wearing a khaki windbreaker, and his gestures and gestures were full of extravagance.

Seeing this person approaching step by step, Bao Le suddenly thought of one thing - has he seen this windbreaker somewhere?

Sure enough, the visitor walked slowly under the eaves of the hotel, stood in front of Bao Le, and put away the umbrella gracefully and calmly.He has a pair of unforgettable Jianshuiqiu pupils. In the dark rainy night, reflecting the light behind her, it seems that there are water waves, and it is like a magnolia blooming in his eyes.

Bao Le was a little surprised, and called out uncertainly: "Xie Huai?"

Xie Huai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, but didn't look at her.

"Girl, the noodles are ready, come and eat." The voice of the female boss saved the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and the little girl ran back without looking back, naturally she didn't notice Xie Huai's half-stretched hand.

He put away the smile on his face, his eyes changed.If Bao Le looked back at him at this moment, he would definitely find that when he was not smiling, he could even be called fierce.Xie Huai clenched his hands into fists, slowly retracted them, and followed her into the hotel.

Seeing Xie Huai, the female boss couldn't help asking Bao Le: "Is this the person you were waiting for?"

The little girl thought for a while before she nodded and said, "It should be."

"Hey, I think this kid is full of weirdness," the female boss leaned close to Bao Le's ear and whispered, "Be careful, don't be cheated, and help count the money."

Bao Le wondered why, Xie Huai looked so harmless to humans and animals, how could he see something weird?Sucking a chopstick of noodles, she suddenly remembered that something was wrong. The Xie Huai she was thinking of and the one in front of her looked exactly the same, but in the final analysis they were two completely different people.The little girl glanced at the opposite side quietly, and saw the boss of Xie's family, sitting on the armchair with his legs crossed, playing with his mobile phone.

Hey, the little girl thought to herself, this person must not be a bad person with such a standard posture when playing with his mobile phone.After all, the bad guys don't have time to play with their mobile phones, right?

After Bao Le finished eating the noodles, his body became warmer, and his mood brightened accordingly.But she was embarrassed to bother the female boss, so she rushed to send the bowl in front of her to be washed.The female boss glanced at her, pressed her shoulders, and took the noodle bowl from her hand: "You are injured, go and rest. This bowl will naturally be helped by my little guyWash, what are you worrying about?"

When Xie Huai heard this, he raised his head slightly, and waited for the female boss to leave before asking her: "Are you injured?"

Bao Le waved his hand: "It's just a scratch, didn't it rain before, and I didn't see the road clearly..."

Before she could finish speaking, the person who was sitting right across from him suddenly got up, crossed half of the table, and grabbed her wrist.I didn't see it, this Boss Xie was so strong, she couldn't shake him off several times.It's just that they just met, this person doesn't treat himself as an outsider too much.

Seeing Bao Le's displeasure, Xie Huai let go.

The little girl lifted the hem of her military overcoat, and while the other party was not paying attention, she trotted up to the second floor.She inserted the room card into the card slot of the power supply, and the lights in the room turned on with a "snap". Before closing the door, she saw Xie Huai follow him up the stairs, but this time the other party didn't even look at her.Passed in front of him and opened the door to the room diagonally opposite.

Until he closed the door, Bao Le didn't figure out why.

It seemed that Xie Huai who was holding her wrist just now with a scary expression was her illusion.But it was obviously the first time he saw him, so why did he show such an expression.

There is heating in the hotel, very warm.

After returning to the room, Bao Le took off his military coat, revealing the beige plush sweater inside. The cut on his arm had stopped bleeding, but the fabric was still stained red, but she didn't bring a change of clothes this time, I can only make do with it and continue to wear it.As for the calf that was quite painful, she thought it was a broken bone, but the situation didn't seem that serious, it was just a bruise and bruise, which didn't affect her walking now.

To say that among the injuries she suffered today, the scratch on her left cheekbone is the most distressing.Although the injury was not deep, it was as long as a knuckle. Thinking about it, the little girl who loves beauty would be anxious and angry if she didn't treat it well and leave a scar.

She suddenly missed Jiang Ning, if she was here, why would she be in such a mess.But after thinking about it, she remembered what Jiang Ning said before, they are spoiling her now, and when she is in danger and there is no one around to help her, sooner or later she will cry.

Bao Le thought he couldn't let them look down upon him.

Putting a band-aid on her face in front of the mirror, the little girl held her own face and looked at it carefully. After coming to a conclusion of "it's still beautiful", she climbed onto the bed contentedly.

...

It rained all the time that night, and the sound of the rain hitting the roof was both regular and rhythmic, very hypnotic.

But Bao Le didn't know why, and he couldn't sleep well.Since she came back from Ya'an last time, she lay in the hospital bed and dreamed about what happened when she was eight years old, and from time to time, she would think of things that she shouldn't remember.

For example, she remembered that it was summer when she went to Bei Jing, because she was wearing her favorite floral dress when she was young.But in her memory later, that floral dress never appeared again.It was as if a red butterfly was parked on the skirt, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she flew high into the sky.

For another example, she quarreled with her parents that day, ran out alone, and couldn't find the way back, so she sat on the curb and cried like a ball.

She could even remember that when she passed a newspaper kiosk along the road, the old man selling popsicles was shaking a plantain fan with a seam of red cloth.There are people coming and going on the road, there are students, office workers, and aunts rushing to dance in the square.

As soon as the picture turned, she seemed to be holding a ball in her hand, and walked into a quiet alley.The dim street lights seemed to be broken, flickering, especially scary.But it was still daytime just now, why did the lights turn on in a blink of an eye.

Bao Le suddenly heard a sharp scream, which made her gasp in fright and opened her eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a gleaming hatchet hanging high above his head, and the knife holder exerted all his strength to chop the hatchet down from top to bottom.It is impossible for anyone to realize what happened so quickly. Bao Le just subconsciously felt that he was still dreaming, saving time for fear and thinking, and reflexively reached out to block the handle of the knife, so that he did not cut himself into two pieces all of a sudden.Son.

Before it was too late, Baole's door was knocked open from the outside.There are lights in the corridor, but there are no lights in the house. The person who came here didn't adapt to the darkness for a moment. No one knows how he was able to accurately find the perpetrator in the house under such circumstances, and stepped forward to grab his right arm, "A slap dislocated his arm.The Xie Huai that Bao Le knew before had a good research on acupuncture points in the human body, so it's not surprising that this Xie Huai can remove someone's arm in an instant.It was the assailant who lost his right hand, so he simply threw away the hatchet. The knife was not light, and Bao Le couldn't catch it. The knife fell into the bed and hit her instep hard.

"Hiss..." The little girl gasped, her face turning green from the pain.

Xie Huai was stunned for a moment, and between chasing the enemy and Baole, he chose the latter without even thinking. After hesitating, the murderer naturally opened the window and jumped down.Bao Le hugged his feet and wailed, but at the same time he was still thinking about complaining that it seemed to be from the second floor.

...

The police were very efficient. Within half an hour after calling the police, the police arrived from Nvluo Village.

At that time, it was completely bright, and Bao Le was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, still wearing the military overcoat that the female boss lent her, holding a water tank that looked very old, and was covering his hands.I'm ashamed to say that she didn't sleep well, and the moment the hatchet fell, it twisted her ankle by accident.Although the medicine was applied and a simple bandage was applied, it was so swollen that it could not be put into the slippers, so I had to find a small stool and put it on it for people to watch.

Xie Huai walked out after hearing the siren of the police car. Not long after, he came back with another man in a black jacket.

Hey, Bao Le also knows this guy, he has a flat cut, and there is a shallow scar on his brow bone, and they drank coffee together not long ago.He stretched out his hand to Baole, and introduced himself: "Han Ziyang, from the criminal police team."

Bao Le shook his hand politely: "Hello, Team Han."

Han Ziyang froze for a moment, touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and explained: "Well, what, I'm not the captain."

The little girl was taken aback, thinking that it was over and exposed. The Han Ziyang she knew before was indeed the captain, but that didn't mean Han Ziyang from Mirror Realm was too.Worried about how to explain, Xie Huai suddenly interjected: "He's here to make a record for you, don't be nervous."

"Yes, it's not difficult," Han Ziyang smiled brightly, "Just answer a few questions, it's a routine matter."

Bao Le rolled his eyes, remembered something and suddenly said: "I think you need to send some people to search the mountain before taking notes, the sooner the better."

"Soushan?"

The little girl put down the water tank in her hand and looked out of the window. The rain that had rained all night had finally stopped, and the green hills at this moment looked more majestic than at night.

Bao Le continued: "Last night in a temple on the mountain, I saw five coffins with some severed limbs inside...human limbs."

At first I thought it was a hallucination, after all, she had just woken up at that time and her mind was in chaos.But the person who wanted to kill her before the ruined temple was real, not only true, but also found her again.If it wasn't for being frightened awake by the nightmare, if it wasn't for the presence of Xie Huai, who knows kung fu, she might already be decapitated by now.

After hearing what she said, Han Ziyang's expression changed, he took his mobile phone and went out.

The little girl was still in shock, shivering, not knowing what she was thinking.Xie Huai also sat down together, instead of taking the initiative to speak, just silently stayed by her side.When Bao Le came back to his senses and turned his face sideways, he realized that Xie Huai's gaze had been on him.When he was looking at her, the corners of his mouth were raised, and those pretty eyes seemed to be smiling.But when he found that she was also looking at him, he turned his face away and slowly put away the smile on his face.

What a weird guy, but at least she was sure he wasn't a bad guy.

...

After sitting for a while, Bao Le saw the guests who lived in the hotel before coming down from upstairs, glanced at the police car outside, and then walked towards the counter.The clerk who looks after the store during the day is a young woman, about seven or eight years old than Baole, but in her early thirties.When Bao Le passed by the counter early in the morning, he saw her yawning and watching a TV show at the same time.

"Boss, what happened?" the guest asked.

Bao Le looked up instantly, and asked the guest in surprise: "Why do you call her the boss, isn't the boss here an elderly fat aunt?"

The woman sitting behind the counter poked her head out: "Oh, I am the owner of this hotel. The person you mentioned is my aunt. She is not very smart and has some problems. She always likes to tell others that she is the owner, but sheI can’t even calculate the accounts, and people are a little demented.”

Xie Huai looked at the little girl with an unbelievable expression, and after a long time, he closed his mouth reluctantly, and looked at him complicatedly.
