He was still lying on the bed in the hotel, holding the medicine mortar tightly with both hands. There were already two circles of marks on his palms. Qin Yin and Wen Ling were standing on either side of him, lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping soundly.
With.
Good guy...is this how they protect me?
Xiaolan raised her eyes and looked out the window, only to realize that it was already dark outside.
Did you actually sleep for so long?!
Xiaolan sat up, rubbed her face tiredly, put the medicine mortar on the bedside table, turned over and picked up her phone.
It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and I have slept since more than ten o'clock in the morning!
Xiaolan's movements woke up Wenling, who raised his head with a groan, his facial features tangled into the word "囧".
"You're awake," Xiaolan originally wanted to make a joke with these two bodyguards who were completely unprofessional, but when she saw Wen Ling's confused look, she thought it was better to forget it, "You guys just keep squatting here?
"
Qin Yin also woke up. She raised her head and screamed as soon as she started to move her body.
"Ahhh!...My legs...my arms...are numb!..."
Xiaolan felt a little distressed, but also found it funny, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Oh my god...it hurts me so much..." Qin Yin moved his muscles and bones, "How long have we been sleeping? Why do I feel like a long time has passed...ah! It's already dark!"
"It's already nine o'clock in the evening," Xiaolan yawned, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I slept for eleven hours, when did you fall asleep?"
"We...we actually..."
"Immediately." Wen Ling raised a finger happily.
It turns out that as soon as Xiaolan fell asleep, the two of them could no longer bear the fatigue from the whole night and closed their eyes together.
"You can't blame us," Qin Yin defended, "Xiaolan, you don't know, it's all because your sleeping face is so cute, we both just looked... and felt sleepy."
The three of them laughed together.
After a while, Wen Ling raised his hand and pointed at the medicine mortar, "Dream?"
"Yes, did you dream about Qiqiao Mansion?" Qin Yin asked.
Xiaolan nodded and frowned, "I did fall into someone's dream, but the content in the dream was a bit strange. I don't know..."
"Wait a minute, since you think it's strange, don't say it now. Even if you say it, we can't analyze it," Qin Yin said very wisely, "Let's go find the Taoist priest and the others. They should have had enough sleep."
Well...I'm already hungry."
"Me too..." Wenling patted her belly.
"Let's go and meet the Taoist priest for dinner...Xiaolan! Put down the packet of biscuits! We will eat later, no snacks allowed!"
The three of them opened the door and entered the corridor.
However, this corridor was not as silent as they imagined. The doors of several nearby rooms were all open, and the sounds of large and small conversations came from the room. Just as they were walking towards the Taoist Priest's room, they walked towards the room.
At that moment, the Taoist priest walked out of the room first.
As soon as they saw the Taoist priest's appearance, the three of them knew that something was wrong.
The Taoist priest's expression was very bad.
"You guys are here," the Taoist priest's tone was still calm, but the thick black color in his eyes revealed his anxiety, "Let's go to that room."
"That...isn't that Miaozhen's room?" Qin Yin lowered his voice subconsciously, "What happened?"
"Go in and tell me, and you will know when you go in."
The three of them looked at each other and followed the Taoist priest into Miaozhen's room.
Sure enough, everyone else was crowded here. Miaozhen was sitting at the end of the bed, hunched over, with his two short legs dangling from the edge of the bed. He was staring at the ground alone, seeming to be thinking about something.
The Taoist priest closed the door behind the three of them, "That's it."
"Ah? What's going on?" Qin Yin didn't react.
Xiaolan glanced into the room and felt a sudden chill in her heart.
"Where did Scar Eye go?" Xiaolan looked at Miaozhen and asked, "Shouldn't he be in your room?"
Miaozhen seemed not to hear, still looking down at the ground.
"Miaozhen," Xia Hua called softly, "Miaozhen...little Miaozhen!..."
"Oh? Ah... you are all here," Miao Zhen noticed their presence after Xia Hua shouted several times, "Hurry up and sit down."
"It's okay, we don't need to sit down," Qin Yin asked nervously, "Miao Zhen, where is Scar Eye? He is the man who wants to deal with Xiao Lan. Isn't he here with you?"
"I...I don't know either." Miaozhen hesitated.
"I don't know?" Qin Yin couldn't believe that these words actually came from this little ruthless person, "No, what on earth is going on? Is that Scary Eye running away?"
"Miaozhen said that after he completely controlled the scarred eye, he took a nap, and when he woke up, he was gone." The Taoist Master's tone was cold.
Xiaolan and Qin Yin were both a little confused.
This...this doesn't quite fit with the character of Miaozhen.
After all, the reason why they safely handed over the scarred eye to Miaozhen was because Miaozhen should be the strongest among their group, but what happened was that he lost the person when he woke up?
"Then he ran away?" Qin Yin asked.
"I don't know," Miaozhen didn't look at them, but looked at the dark night outside the window, "but I think he might not have run away."
"Then he is hiding?"
Miaozhen shook his head.
"What's going on?" Qin Yin slumped down on the chair next to him, "You didn't run or hide. Did you disappear on the spot?"
No one can answer.
Xia Hua sighed, walked slowly behind Miaozhen and asked, "Miaozhen, you must have cast some spells on him, right?"
Miaozhen didn't say anything, just nodded.
"I know what Miaozhen is capable of. People who are restrained by him have no chance of escaping on their own," Xia Hua said. "If that person really leaves, then someone must be helping him. Miaozhen, what do you think?"
"
Miaozhen mumbled a few vague "ums", which Quan took as an answer.
For some reason, Xiaolan suddenly remembered the new resident living near them.
"By the way, a new guest has moved in," Xiaolan said, "He lives... right next to this room."
"Is this so?" Xia Hua became interested.
"Oh, yes, there is such a person," Qin Yin said hurriedly, "That person lives in the front room, he is quite strange..."
Qin Yin told the story about the man locking the door.
"That's not surprising," Baomu said. "If I lived alone and someone suddenly spoke outside the door, I would be so frightened that I would lock the door."
"There's nothing strange about this," Xiaolan said. "What's strange to me is... in this season, who would suddenly come to stay in an unlucky hotel? And there are so many vacant rooms, but that person still wants to stay.
Near us..."
"Do you suspect that person helped Scar Eye escape?" Xia Hua asked.
