After Qin Wan stood still, she quickly scanned the surroundings with her beautiful eyes, but she did not see Lu Yu's familiar figure anywhere in her sight.
She frowned slightly, her eyes turned suddenly, and she suddenly noticed the hidden secret passage not far away.
At each of the two entrances to the secret passage stood a rather young recruit. Standing straight with serious expressions, they meticulously guarded the passage.
Seeing this scene, Qin Wan immediately understood that Lu Yu had probably gone to seek help. No wonder he hadn't been seen since.
Qin Wan couldn't help but secretly shook his head, muttering to himself: "No wonder the efficiency is so low, it turns out that these new recruits who are obviously not strong enough are holding us back!"
Judging from the current situation, if everything goes well, they may have to wait until dawn and early morning before they can properly handle all the matters.
Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh helplessly when she thought of this. She knew very well that if things continued like this, it would be almost impossible for her to gain any advantage in this courtyard today.
In this case, instead of staying here and wasting time, waiting idly, it would be better to go home early and have a good sleep in my residence.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan took a deep breath and her eyes became firm. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself:
"Never mind! Let's not think about it too much for now!"
In the blink of an eye, she turned around abruptly, took firm and powerful steps, and strode towards the guesthouse without hesitation.
That figure seemed to carry a resolute aura that made people look sideways. You know, for someone as smart and agile as Qin Wan, making some extra money is a piece of cake.
As long as she puts in some thought and uses some tricks, money will naturally flow into her pocket.
Time passed like the sand in an hourglass, minute by minute. Before Qin Wan knew it, he had successfully arrived at his doorstep.
At this moment, she was as nimble as a nimble cat, her footsteps as light as a feather, making no sound at all. She quietly moved around to the back of the house like a ghost, her movements skillful and graceful.
Then, she bent her knees slightly and jumped up with all her strength. Her slender hands grasped the edge of the windowsill precisely, and her whole body flipped over the window as lightly as a feather, and then landed steadily on the ground inside the house.
After landing, Qin Wan did not stop for a moment, but quickly dodged with lightning speed, like a flash of lightning that cuts through the night. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from everyone's sight and hid directly in the private space that only she knew.
When his feet stepped into this small world that belonged to him, Qin Wan's tense nerves finally felt a little relieved and released.
However, she knew very well that this was not the time to rest, so without even sitting down to catch her breath, she impatiently took out from her arms all the various items she had obtained during this outing and placed them in front of her one by one.
These items are dazzling and varied, including small and exquisite jewelry, ancient scrolls exuding a mysterious aura, and some rare and precious herbs and minerals...
Qin Wan stared intently at the pile of treasures, her eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation. Then, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to meticulously count the items with full concentration.
She picked up each item gently, carefully stroking its surface with her fingertips, carefully feeling the subtle differences in texture; then she moved closer to her eyes, carefully examining the exquisite lines or patterns on it, not missing any clues or secrets that might be hidden therein.
Sometimes she frowned slightly, as if she had discovered something unusual; sometimes the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a satisfied smile, as if she had found the treasure she had longed for.
In this way, Qin Wan was immersed in this tense and orderly inventory process, forgetting all the noise and chaos around him.
Just like that, one thing after another, before I knew it, the night was getting darker and fatigue was slowly rising into my heart like a tide.
At first, Qin Wan tried to muster up her strength and hold on, but as time went on, the sleepiness became stronger and stronger. In the end, she was unable to resist and had to give up struggling helplessly.
She sighed deeply, then simply lay down on the ground, stretched her limbs, and let her body completely relax.
After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard in this quiet space. Qin Wan had fallen into a deep sleep and entered a sweet dream.
Until dawn the next day, the sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth, but there was still no news of Lu Yu.
Even without thinking deeply, Qin Wan only needed to think about it a little bit to know it clearly - he must have joined the task force again and worked tirelessly to help handle various affairs.
At dawn, after having a simple breakfast, Qin Wan, under the careful guidance of local enthusiastic residents, led the children to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town with Aunt Yu.
This seaside supply and marketing cooperative is truly unique compared to other ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives. Due to its advantageous location, it not only supplies a variety of daily necessities, but also adds a variety of unique seafood and exquisite handicrafts.
As Qin Wan and his group stepped into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, their eyes were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of handicrafts.
The first thing that catches your eye is a string of wind chimes carefully strung together from colorful shells.
When the breeze blows gently, these wind chimes make clear and pleasant tinkling sounds, as if they are whispering the mysterious story of the sea;
Next, strings of conch shells strung with red silk threads were neatly arranged on the shelves. Their bright colors resembled burning flames, reminding people of the spectacular scene of waves crashing against the rocks on the rough sea.
Look over there, several bracelets made of round and smooth pearls exude a soft luster, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
At this moment, Qin Wan's eyes suddenly fixed on a shell necklace.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. This necklace was breathtakingly beautiful! Every shell on the necklace was like the ocean smiling in the bright sunshine, pure white as snow and shining with enchanting light, like a dazzling gem inlaid in it.
She extended her slender finger and pointed directly at the necklace that radiated charming light. Her eyes revealed curiosity and anticipation as she softly asked the salesperson:
"How much does this necklace cost?"
The salesperson was busy arranging the merchandise on the shelves when he suddenly heard a crisp sound beside him.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the customer's finger. He saw that the lady was pointing at a sparkling necklace with a look of admiration in her eyes.
