"This damn cat," the boss stood up angrily and started to walk out the door, "don't scratch that young man."
Before the boss finished speaking, a new loud noise came.
Another violent sound of firecrackers came from the back door, and everyone in the room trembled. They didn't expect the firecrackers to be so loud.
"Oh my God!" A series of noises came out before the boss could stand still. He was so frightened that he pinned his feet to the stool and sat down on the ground.
The Taoist priest looked at everyone and understood.
The third wave of sonic attack came, and as the firecrackers exploded, the pineapple let out a shrill scream.
Before the boss could stand up, he heard Pineapple's scream, followed by the sound of a chair falling accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, and Pineapple fell down with a "thud".
"What's wrong! What's going on?"
The landlady finally appeared, and before she even poked her head out of the basement stairs, her voice reached everyone's ears.
"Xiaobo! Xiaobo, what's wrong with you!"
Maple Sugar knelt on the ground, holding the "unconscious" Pineapple in his arms.
"Sister Xiaobo!" Xiaolan also cried and rushed over, "Sister Xiaobo, wake up!"
"What's wrong with this girl?" The boss and his wife also came over and looked at the unconscious Pineapple anxiously.
The Taoist Master stood up with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Bo has a bad heart. He was probably frightened by the sound of firecrackers."
"Having a bad heart?" The boss stared, "Why didn't you tell us about such a serious problem? We can't take responsibility if something happens!"
"Boss, how far is the nearest hospital from here? It needs a larger hospital. Her disease is quite special."
"The nearest one is far away. It takes two hours to drive."
"Boss, please, save Xiaobo!" Maple Sugar's acting skills exploded, and she cried until her nose burst into tears. She hugged the boss's thigh directly, "I can't live without her!"
Xiaolan was shocked. Is this still the same sloth-like maple syrup?
"Don't hug me, what can I do!"
The Taoist priest promptly reminded, "Boss, don't you have a car? Could you please drive Xiaobo to the hospital?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the boss, who was a little hesitant considering his condition.
"This...can this disease wait more than two hours?"
"Xiaobo is just dizzy due to panic. It has happened before. It doesn't matter if he is sent to the hospital in time," the Taoist leader responded calmly and lowered his voice, "And if anything happens to Xiaobo in your hotel, it will also affect you, boss.
Are you right?"
The maple syrup was poured beside the pineapple and she was about to faint from crying. Xiaolan knelt on the ground, unable to cry and could only howl.
The landlady couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the boss who was still struggling.
"What are you thinking? Send someone to the hospital quickly. If something happens to the girl, I'll see what you do!"
The boss gritted his teeth and said "Okay" and asked Maple Sugar to carry the pineapple into the car.
The car started, and the boss left with a final warning to look after the house, leaving a group of people who had not yet come out of the shock caused by the unexpected situation.
Xiaolan turned around and found that Xiaoyin had taken advantage of the chaos to return to the team. Although she pretended to be worried, she seemed to be in a better mood than before, but her clothes were a little messy.
When Xiaolan noticed that Xiaolan was looking at her, Xiaoyin blinked and made an "ok" gesture.
It seems you can proceed to the next step.
"Boss! Boss!" Baomu's anxious voice sounded from the back door.
The landlady agreed loudly and led several people to the back door, where they saw the dirty treasure tree covered in dirt.
He wasn't really going to dig bamboo shoots. When he saw Baomu's appearance, Xiaolan's first thought was this.
"What's going on, young man, were you the one who set off the firecrackers at the back door just now?"
"It's not me, it's not me!" Baomu shook his head anxiously, "There were a few children passing by just now. I guess they set off the firecrackers."
"I'll go out and take a look first," the landlady said as she was about to walk out of the back door, but was interrupted in time by Bao Mu.
"What I want to tell you, boss lady, is that your cat was so frightened by the sound of firecrackers that it ran away and ran up the mountain. Originally, I wanted to chase it, but when I looked up, the cat disappeared. You...
"
"What?" The landlady's tone completely changed. She hurried out of the back door and saw the empty cat nest.
Now the landlady panicked and looked around the mountain several times, but she didn't find her cat.
"It...which direction did it go," the landlady asked Xiang Baomu, almost crying with anxiety. She looked very different from the way she had fainted when she saw Pineapple just now.
"The last time I saw it was running here," Baomu pointed in a direction and led the boss's wife to run over, "Boss, I will accompany you to find it. You two should hurry up."
"Thank you so much, young man..."
"You're welcome, what's the cat's name? Let's shout louder..."
The two of them slowly disappeared from everyone's sight, and now there was only one sister at the front desk who always looked confused. Ever since the cat meowed, the girl didn't understand what was going on.
Xiaoyin made a gesture to the Taoist priest and hooked the arm of the girl at the front desk with one hand.
"Hey, sister, do you know what happened? I just went to the toilet. When I came back, the whole world seemed to have changed..."
"I don't quite understand either...ask your friends, they might know a little bit about it."
"One little brat and two stinky men know nothing. Let's have a chat..."
Although Xiaolan felt offended, the situation was finally under control.
Now there are only three people left: Xiaolan, Taoist Master and Little Fool. After Xiaoyin kidnapped the girl at the front desk, there is only the last and most important task.
The three people looked towards the small stairs leading to the basement.
——————————————————————
"anyone there?"
A weak girl's voice echoed in the empty basement.
Xiaolan turned around and greeted the Taoist Priest and the little fool to go down the stairs. The three of them walked in the complicated basement. They didn't dare to make any loud noises without being completely sure that the place was safe.
"Is there anyone?"
Xiaolan repeated it, cleared her throat and coughed twice.
The echo completely returned to the ears of the three of them. The basement was silent as if no one had ever been there before. It was certain that no one was there, and the three of them were about to start the final work.
Xiaolan relied on the twists and turns in her memory to lead the two of them to the hidden laundry room.
The curtain was lifted, the table moved away, and the suspicious wall finally appeared in front of Xiaolan again.
The little fool took out the tools from his backpack and placed them on the floor with a clanking sound.
Raising the hammer, the little fool confirmed for the last time, "You can't really hear the sounds underground, right?"
"At that time, the boss called the boss lady in a loud voice, but you didn't hear anything."
Reasonable and convincing.
The little fool nodded approvingly and looked at the Taoist Priest.
"Let's do it."
The little fool swung down the hammer in his hand and raised it up. Under the combined action of the hammer and chisel, a crack soon appeared. This chapter has been completed!
