Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 1004: Haunted
"Did you come to my house to find me?" Qi Xili asked, raising his eyelids.
"Ah, otherwise why would you come here." Jiang Shulian's chest rose and fell violently, and Shen Yanming handed him the bowl of vegetable porridge left for Bi Qiaoan: "Drink something to warm it up, and talk slowly."
Jiang Shulian opened his mouth wide and prepared to speak, but the fragrance was somewhat tempting.
He was a little hesitant, but Qi Xili also said: "Is it urgent? If not, just finish eating first."
Jiang Shulian blinked, not knowing whether this matter was urgent or not. His stomach started to growl, so he gulped down the porridge in his bowl.
After drinking, Jiang Shulian wiped his mouth and said with a bitter face: "Captain Qi, you don't know, that building is haunted!"
"What? Are you kidding me?" Qi Xili obviously didn't believe it.
Shen Yanming and An An Nuan Nuan's eyes widened. The three of them never expected that Secretary Jiang, who had received higher education, would say such a thing.
"It's true. I was on duty in the office last night. When I woke up this morning, I found three paper airplanes at the door."
"Maybe someone threw it there as a prank."
"No, those pieces of paper have words and drawings on them, and they are printed. The paper is brand new, without even a fingerprint. Who has such a great ability?
And they appeared suddenly. After I fell asleep last night and before I got up this morning, there was no one in the building. Even the security guard on duty didn't pass by. How do you think they suddenly appeared?"
Qi Xili also felt something was a little strange after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Didn't they install surveillance cameras? Didn't you check it?"
"That's what's weird. We checked the surveillance and found that there was no one in the corridor. The paper plane flew out from the bathroom."
"Isn't it obvious that there is someone in the bathroom?"
"But there's no one in the bathroom! The security guard on duty checked every one of them before leaving get off work, and only closed the door after confirming that there was no one in the building."
"That's how he climbed in through the window."
"We checked and found no signs of anyone entering or leaving."
“Maybe someone cleaned up the traces.”
"That shouldn't be the case. The dust outside the window is very evenly distributed. We asked technicians to take a look, but they didn't find anything."
Qi Xili was a little unbelievable, and turned to ask Shen Yanming: "Is there really a ghost?"
The corners of Shen Yanming's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "The important thing now is to find out what those pieces of paper are. Why would we want to investigate these unknown things?"
"Yes, you are right." Qi Xili nodded and asked Jiang Shulian: "What is written on the paper airplane?"
Jiang Shulian looked at the few people with some hesitation.
"Just say it straight, Old Shen and the others won't tell anyone." Qi Xili said indifferently.
Jiang Shulian thought about the Shen family's background and did not hide it: "It's a picture, it looks like a mountain. There are several small stars on it. We can't figure out what they want to express, but it looks like a treasure map.
After seeing it, Officer Wen asked me to ask you to go over and see if you want to go out and look for it. "
"He really believes this is a treasure map! Could it be a prank?"
"Officer Wen Meng said that there is nothing to plot against in the base right now. If it's not a treasure map, then the person who sent it here is just bored and has nothing better to do."
"He doesn't care who sent it!"
"Officer Wen said that everyone in this world has some secrets. As long as it is beneficial to the base, there is no need to get to the bottom of it."
Qi Xili nodded and stood up: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
Seeing this, Shen Yanming also stood up and asked, "Would it be convenient for you to take me with you?"
Qi Xili smiled and asked, "Don't you dislike joining in the fun?"
Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows: "You always say I'm a mascot, maybe you'll discover something different if you bring me along."
In fact, I was thinking in my heart, if you can't find it, I can still remind you in disguise.
Qi Xili looked at Jiang Shulian, and saw a flash of surprise in his eyes.
“Officer Wen said that if Captain Shen is willing, he can go and take a look.”
"That's fine, Yanming can come along. An'an and Nuan'nuan are waiting at home, and your godfather and your father will be back soon."
Shen Yanming smiled and rubbed their heads: "It may take some time. Don't worry, babies, Dad will be back when he is done."
After that, he turned into the bedroom, woke up Bi Qiaoan, whispered a few words to her, then came out, put on his coat, and followed the two of them out.
An An and Nuan Nuan looked at the closed door, exchanged glances, and sighed. She wondered why she was still so small. If she were as big as Brother Qi Lin, she could be with her father and godfather.
After Bi Qiaoan was woken up by Shen Yanming, she didn't fall asleep again. She walked to the living room yawning, and after understanding the situation with the two treasures, she entered the space with An An Nuan Nuan.
Old Shen would definitely not be back in the short term. She didn't want to sit there in the living room in a daze, so she decided to go back to the space and continue drying the food.
An'an and Nuan'nuan also like to go to the space. It is not only warm but also beautiful. They have a large space for activities and many entertainment options.
Bi Qiaoan let the two babies play by themselves while she harvested the ripe crops in the space and planted some more.
The newly harvested corn cobs were piled in front of the mobile home, and Bi Qiaoan used his consciousness to peel off their outer shells. But he found that he had to peel them one by one, and the whole process was very slow and laborious. It was not like the harvest time, when he could sweep away a large area at a time.
So I just put the peeled corn cobs on the rainproof sheet to dry. Once they are dry, they can be stored.
An An and Nuan Nuan saw this and came to help. The three of them wore gloves and worked for more than half an hour before Bi Qiaoan realized that there was a harvester in the storage area, and that thing was harvested with the skin removed.
She slapped her forehead and felt so stupid. She used her consciousness too much and forgot about the agricultural machinery.
I said to the two treasures, "Do your best and don't tire yourselves out." Then I used my consciousness to pick up the other crops.
Seeing the snow-white cotton in the field, Bi Qiaoan smiled, picked a lot and piled them at the door of the mobile villa.
He waved to the two children and said, "Come here, baby, stop messing with the corn." If he had that much time, he might as well plant another crop. "Come, let's pick cotton bolls. The base will need them."
Seeing this, An An Nuan Nuan put down the corn in her hand.
Bi Qiaoan used his consciousness to throw them all into the storage area, and then taught the two children how to pick the white cotton from the cotton bolls.
"I don't know if there are many quilts and duvets stored at the base. Let's pack some out and have your father send them out next time."
An An nodded: "Thank you, Mom. I heard from my classmates that the quilts in their homes are all picked up from outside. The cotton inside is clumpy and not warm at all."
"Then they haven't considered going to the base to exchange for new ones?"
"They have few people in their family, and the points they earn are barely enough to buy food, let alone cotton."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Then Mom will plant more cotton, and when we return next time, we will put more out. The base will have income, and maybe the exchange price of cotton will be lowered."
