At half past ten, there was a sudden sound of a metal keyhole being inserted outside the door, but the sound was very small. Judging from the sound coming from the door, it sounded like a metal probe or something was testing the key, not like a key being inserted directly.
keyhole.
Ma Xiaoquan pressed hard against the door and at the same time held the door's rotor so that it could not rotate.
The person outside the door seemed to have noticed something strange. He said "Hey", and then there was a slight metal sound, which seemed to be that the tool was changed.
It's just... After waiting for about two minutes, Ma Xiaoquan didn't see any movement outside the door. Just when he put his ear close to the door to hear the movement, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Boy, I know you are in there. We don't want to harm anyone. We just want to get back what we want. If you know, hand it over, we can let you go. I can tell you clearly that I have
If you move the gun, the bullets in the gun will definitely shoot you through the wooden door."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and wondered what made this group of people so persistent. Could it be Uncle Zhao? What was in Uncle Zhao's hand that they wanted?
"I don't know what you want, but I guarantee that if you dare to hurt this family, I will find you even if I chase you to the ends of the earth." Ma Xiaoquan also responded in a low voice.
"Interesting~ OK, then I'll give you a chance. We'll meet at the stadium at this time tomorrow night."
After he finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan heard the sound of the gun being retracted again. There was some noise for a minute, but then it became quiet outside the door.
Ma Xiaoquan exhaled, gently turned the door rotor, and opened the door.
As expected, there was no one outside the door, but a strange pattern was left on the ground. This pattern resembled a bird, but if you look closely, it didn't look too much like it, because the bird-like claws were similar to the claws of a beast.
Ma Xiaoquan observed the pattern carefully for a long time. Finally, he brought a basin of water and washed away the pattern on the ground.
The next moment after the pattern was washed away, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Hong came back.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan carrying the mop, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Hong asked in surprise: "Xiaohu, what's wrong?"
Ma Xiaoquan definitely couldn't say that there was someone there just now, so he could only lie and said: "Don't mention it, there is a bug that annoys me to death. I can't find it when I turn on the light, so I can only turn the light off. I can't find anything convenient."
At once......"
Aunt Hong laughed and took the mop from Ma Xiaoquan's hand: "It's just a little bug. Why is it like this? We are already used to it. Although our Lantian Community is a tube building, it is much better than other large courtyards."
Uncle Zhao was not as innocent and unsuspecting as Aunt Hong. He was a policeman. From Ma Xiaoquan's movements and expressions when he took the mop just now, he could accurately judge that something had happened. But the other party didn't say anything, so he didn't ask. After all, Aunt Hong
There were some things that made her know too much and worry too much.
After waiting for Aunt Hong to fall asleep, Uncle Zhao gently came to Ma Xiaoquan, reached out and patted him.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't sleep either. He also knew that Uncle Zhao would come to see him, so the two of them went out quietly without knowing anything.
Outside the door, Uncle Zhao lit a peony cigarette and took a deep breath.
"Xiaohu, did something happen?"
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and asked Uncle Zhao: "Uncle Zhao, are you still holding something in your hand that you shouldn't be holding?"
Uncle Zhao was stunned. The peony cigarette he had just lit in his hand trembled visibly, and the ashes scattered along it.
Ma Xiaoquan did not ask any more questions, he just looked at Uncle Zhao quietly, waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Uncle Zhao finished smoking the Peony cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, and then said slowly: "There is something, but you shouldn't know what it is, otherwise it will be dangerous to you."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "Uncle Zhao, you are too late. The people who came before have warned you that if you don't take it out, they will attack Sister Lanlan and Aunt Hong."
Out of the professional vigilance of the police, Uncle Zhao was not surprised. Instead, he immediately asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Are you working with them, or is everything planned since you appeared here?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not panic, he just shook his head: "If I were with them, Uncle Zhao, do you think I would give you the things in my hand for safekeeping?"
"Then who are you?"
Ma Xiaoquan knew that he had nothing to hide, so he simply spread his hands and said: "Uncle Zhao, let me tell you the truth, I am from the future."
Uncle Zhao was stunned. Although he had doubted Ma Xiaoquan's true identity, he couldn't connect it no matter how hard he tried. Now that he said that he was the person who came here in the future, it seemed that all the questions had been answered.
However, Uncle Zhao did not express his position. He is an old policeman. After receiving the news, he is very familiar with the ability to pretend to be nonchalant and continue to trick the other party.
However, he ignored Ma Xiaoquan's identity. What was Ma Xiaoquan? He was a former member of the National Special Forces Brigade. After being removed from the team, he became a member of the Underworld Extreme Force Team. For people like Uncle Zhao, they are learning theory and practice.
I have seen too many of them.
To deal with such a person, only by constantly impacting his cognition can his thoughts be completely confused. Therefore, Ma Xiaoquan simply took out the MP3 player from his pocket and said: "This thing, right now, is about twenty
It will only appear in China in about 20 years, and the music you heard that day was all music from ten, twenty or even thirty years later..." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan turned on the MP3 player, and the sound
Turn it to the minimum so that only he and Uncle Zhao can hear it.
The song playing in the mp3 was "Love is Like Tide", and the straightforward lyrics really surprised Uncle Zhao.
"Bah~" Before the song finished, Ma Xiaoquan turned off the mp3 player and stretched out his right hand.
There happened to be a pebble thrown by someone in the corridor. Ma Xiaoquan picked up the pebble, held it in his hand, and spread it out.
"Uncle Zhao, this is a stone, right? Please keep an eye on it." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan gently threw the stone out.
The stone fell along the parabola thrown by Ma Xiaoquan, and the moment it hit the ground, it made a collision sound that was completely inconsistent with its size and mass.
"Who is it?" Suddenly one of the residents in the community opened the window and stuck his head out and shouted.
Ma Xiaoquan and Uncle Zhao subconsciously retracted their heads, and after a while of silence again, they exhaled.
Uncle Zhao had a look of disbelief on his face. He and Ma Xiaoquan went downstairs and came to the place where Ma Xiaoquan threw the pebbles. They were surprised to find that the pebbles actually made a deep hole in the brick road.
Uncle Zhao still refused to give up. He picked up a pebble that was similar to the one before, ran upstairs, stood where Ma Xiaoquan was standing just now, and threw the pebble down.
"Plop", the pebbles fell to the ground with a soft sound. On the brick pavement, there was just a shallow small pit. It was said to be a small pit, but in fact it was not even a pit.
"What on earth did you do?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed. In fact, when he was waiting for Uncle Zhao just now, Yuan suddenly talked to him and told him that he could use the gravity super power a little, but only a little.
It was precisely because of this "little" that Ma Xiaoquan finally decided to reveal his identity. His purpose was very simple, which was to bind him to Uncle Zhao, because the thing that Uncle Zhao was currently holding was very likely to be related to Uncle Zhao.
It has something to do with the goal of his mission.
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands and did not answer. The silence at this time was much more useful than talking.
After a while, Uncle Zhao suddenly laughed bitterly, shook his head and said: "Originally, I got that thing by accident, but I didn't expect it to cause all this trouble... Xiaohu, no, what is your real name?
"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "My real name is Ma Xiaohu. I am an orphan in the future world. I am here just to carry out my mission."
"What mission?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Find a way for my beloved to survive."
"Beloved?" Uncle Zhao was stunned. He originally thought that Ma Xiaoquan was some kind of spy when he heard that he was performing a mission, but now that he heard that he was doing it for his beloved, he was a little surprised.
"Haha, I told you when I came here, I have someone I like, and I came back because of her."
"Then your purpose is..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Tell her mother to leave here. As long as her mother leaves here, we will never see each other in the future..." As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head, deeply
exhaled.
I have to say that Ma Xiaoquan's acting skills are very good, or at least in Uncle Zhao's opinion, what he said is true. Of course, Uncle Zhao is a policeman after all. It is impossible to completely believe it. But at this moment, Zhao
I really can't think of anything to say in reply.
"Uncle Zhao, you can have doubts about me, but you can rest assured that I have no ill intentions towards Aunt Hong and Sister Lanlan. Not only that, I will protect them both without hesitation." Ma Xiaoquan told Uncle Zhao.
Guaranteed.
Uncle Zhao snorted: "What you said, I have no reason to refute you, and I have no reason not to believe you. According to what you said, if you wanted to harm them, you would have done it long ago. Well, okay, since
You confessed to me, so I won’t hide it from you. I am indeed holding something, but I still don’t understand it..."
Uncle Zhao hesitated to speak. He wanted to see what Ma Xiaoquan's attitude was so he could judge whether the place had anything to do with those people.
Ma Xiaoquan sneered in his heart. Uncle Zhao's left-right temptation was useless to him. He did not say anything, but quietly waited for Uncle Zhao to continue.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan didn't accept the move, Uncle Zhao could only continue: "That thing is a board with a smooth surface on it. Well, what word can I use to describe it? Anyway, you can read things by sliding your fingers, just like flipping through a book.
