After saying that, Yan Zi took out his phone and dialed.
After a ringtone, the caller said, "The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Yan Zi shrugged and said helplessly, "No one answered. Didn't I agree to bring her some porridge this afternoon?"
"Hit another one!" Feng Xiaoyun said with a frown, and then put his ear to Xu Linling's door.
Yan Zi dialed again, but still no one answered.
"The phone is ringing in the room." Feng Xiaoyun said.
"Inside the room?" Yan Zi asked in surprise. "Could something have happened?"
"I don't know." Feng Xiaoyun shook his head. "Don't you have the key to Aunt Mei's house? Check from her house."
"Oh, yes, yes." Yan Zi rummaged through her bag and pulled out a set of keys. This unit consisted of four households. Yan Zi and Chen Mei's doors faced each other, while Feng Xiaoyun and Xu Linling's doors faced each other. Just as Yan Zi and Feng Xiaoyun could talk to each other on their balconies, Chen Mei's and Xu Linling's balconies were adjacent, allowing Xu Linling's to be seen from Chen Mei's.
The two ran to the balcony to look over.
"The window is not closed, but the curtains are drawn, so I can't see anything."
"Use the clothesline to open the curtains." Feng Xiaoyun suggested. If something happened to Xu Linling, now was not the time to bother with this.
"Okay." Yan Zi picked up the clothesline from Chen Mei's house and said, "Go over there with your back. This is a girl's bedroom. Did you just happen to be looking in?"
Seeing Feng Xiaoyun turning away with a red face, Yan Zicai smiled secretly and reached over with the clothesline to pull open Xu Linling's curtains.
"Oh, Linling is really on the bed! Linling! Xu Linling!" Yan Zi shouted loudly, but there was no response.
Yan Zi hurriedly dropped the clothesline, took out an ironing board from the room, and placed it on the edge of the two balconies.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Feng Xiaoyun grabbed Yan Zi's hand.
"Crawl over and open the door."
"No, this is the fifth floor! Besides, I'm the one who should go."
"You? Can this ironing board support your weight? It's okay. I was scared of the balcony more than once when I was a child."
Feng Xiaoyun knew this. When Yan Zi was little, he often forgot to bring his keys, so he would just use a board to crawl back from next door to open the door. (Please don't imitate this, it's very dangerous.)
"How about this, you tie a sheet around my waist, so that if I accidentally step on empty air, you can still hold me." Yan Zi said anxiously when he saw that Feng Xiaoyun was still holding on to him.
Feng Xiaoyun didn't know what Xu Linling's condition was now. He was afraid it would be too late to call the fire department and ambulance. He could only agree to Yan Zi's suggestion, tied a bed sheet tightly around her waist, and watched her in fear as she walked across the ironing board with her hands stretched out.
