After Liu Xueling's car left for a long time, it passed a car parked on the roadside a few miles away from the camp.
A man in a suit looked at the rear of Liu Xueling's car with cold eyes, and then took out a large-looking phone from the car.
"Hey, report, the boat capsized and I was the only one who escaped!"
An electronically synthesized voice came from the other end of the phone, "Got it, go to City L immediately and release that thing."
"Yes!" The man in the suit responded without hesitation.
"Those who notice the time to take action, keep an eye on them!"
"Understood! That talented girl from Kyoto must have brought something out of it. How about..."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then there was no emotion in the electronically synthesized voice.
"No, she is very likely to be the key for us to enter the strange place again. We must bring her again when we offer sacrifices next time! Doing it in advance will only scare the enemy!"
"Yes, Li Qiang understands!"
Immediately, the phone was hung up.
The man in the suit looked at the phone in his hand and let out a long breath.
If Li Xue were here now, she would find that this man in a suit was the one who slipped through the cracks during the investigation bureau's early morning operation.
After Hao Xin got up in the morning, she was about to go out when she saw Zhang Dao still sitting cross-legged at the door.
After calling twice, Zhang Dao still didn't wake up. Only then did he realize that Zhang Dao was asleep.
Then he tried his best to lift Zhang Dao and put him on the bed.
After putting Zhang Dao on the bed, looking at Zhang Dao's sleeping face,
Thinking of the lies he made up about practicing exercises in order to let himself sleep in bed last night, but in the end he sat at the door and fell asleep.
Thinking of this, Hao Xin couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled silently.
After covering herself with the quilt, Hao Xin originally wanted to take him away.
Just when I saw Zhang Dao's handsome face and thought of what happened last night,
After thinking about it, he unexpectedly lay down on the bed with a red face.
Hao Xin lay on Zhang Dao's chest, feeling Zhang Dao's heartbeat, and greedily sniffed Zhang Dao's scent.
This feeling is something I have never felt since I was a child. It is warm, sweet, and very reassuring.
The sound of the children downstairs waking up and playing around woke her up. After hurriedly getting up and tidying up the quilt for Zhang Dao, Hao Xin went downstairs.
After cooking and taking care of the children, he took them to play games in the yard.
Outside the window, there were bursts of happy playfulness, and Zhang Dao opened his eyes in a daze.
I found myself lying on the bed at some point, still covered with the shabby-looking quilt.
He was startled at first and frowned slightly. He clearly felt the meridians running on him last night, so how could he fall asleep?
When Zhang Dao wanted to feel the condition of his body again, he found that no matter how he operated the technique, he still could not enter the state of cultivation last night.
He can no longer even look within himself.
Zhang Dao couldn't help but sigh secretly, shook his head slightly, and wondered what the problem was?
Inadvertently, he tilted his head slightly, and his face seemed to feel a little wet on the pillow. Zhang Dao couldn't help but feel a little confused.
what happened? Could it be that he drooled while sleeping? Or is it the little girl who slept here last night?
However, sniffing the remaining fragrance in the air, Zhang Dao knew that it must be Hao Xin who found himself sitting on the ground after he got up this morning, so he moved him to the bed.
Imagining Hao Xin's thin body, struggling to move herself to the bed,
Zhang Dao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He didn't expect that this little girl looked so weak, but she was quite strong.
After taking off the quilt and sitting up, Zhang Dao was about to get out of bed, but suddenly he noticed with sharp eyes that there was a long black hair hanging on the clothes on his chest.
Could it be that Hao Xin dropped it while sleeping last night?
After thinking for a while, he didn't know what he thought of. He raised the corners of his mouth and reached out to pick up the hair, then rolled it into a buckle and put it in his pocket.
After opening the door, I saw the small courtyard downstairs.
Hao Xin was leading a group of children to play the game of eagle catching chicken.
Hao Xin acted as an old hen, standing in front of the children playing the eagle, spinning around to protect the 'chicks' behind him.
Beside, there were several children who could not walk, cheering for Hao Xin and others with cheerful smiles on their faces.
On this morning, a series of childish laughter filled this small courtyard that stood out among the tall buildings with warmth, and the sunshine seemed to be particularly warm.
Zhang Dao couldn't help but lean on the railing, close his eyes and feel the rays of the sun.
The child who was catching chickens suddenly saw someone checking on him on the stairs. He hurriedly stopped and shouted excitedly to Zhang Dao who was standing upstairs:
"Good morning, big brother! What are you doing? Do you want to play games with us?"
Hao Xin turned around and found that Zhang Dao had appeared in front of the guardrail on the second floor at some point, with his hands on the railing and looking at them with interest.
Somehow, Hao Xin's eyes dodge unconsciously.
It seemed that after his mood stabilized, Hao Xin raised his head and looked at Zhang and said, "Brother Zhang is up, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first? I have some for you in the kitchen."
Zhang Dao walked down the stairs with a smile, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not hungry yet. But please stop calling me Brother Zhang. Why do you feel so raw?"
"Then what should I call you?" Hao Xin asked with a nice frown, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, how about I call you Brother Dao from now on?"
When Zhang Dao, who had just walked down the stairs, heard this, he lost his balance, staggered, and almost fell down.
Hao Xin hurried over and helped Zhang Dao, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Dao waved his hand, looked at Hao Xin speechlessly, and said, "Brother Dao, what's the matter with Brother Dog? You'd better call me by my name."
Only then did Hao Xin realize that his name seemed to be the same as a certain animal in a certain domain, and he also made him giggle.
"Gee, that's interesting. Then I'll call you Brother Zhang Dao. After all, you are older than me."
"It's up to you." Zhang Dao spread his hands.
At this time, Xiaodong, a tiger-headed man, came over and said to Zhang Dao and Hao Xin: "I know, I know, the brother Dao that Sister Hao Xin is talking about is a puppy!"
"Haha!" After hearing Xiaodong's words, Hao Xin laughed so hard that he even cried like a goose.
Zhang Dao, on the other hand, deliberately glared at Xiaodong with a straight face, "Xiaodong, right? I'll tell you that you will definitely not be able to find a wife when you grow up."
"What is a wife?" Xiaodong asked innocently, biting his finger.
"Uh... this wife..."
Zhang Dao was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't expect that his words would affect him, so he looked at Hao Xin for help.
The moment his eyes came into contact with Hao Xin's, Zhang Dao noticed that the girl's fair and tender cheeks suddenly turned red, and his eyes quickly averted.
