When the hands of the watch on Jiang Yanqing's hand pointed to seven o'clock, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and footsteps were heard at the door.
What caught my eye was a tall figure. In the moonlight, I could see the person's appearance clearly: a hard face, deep eyebrows, and a crew cut that was close to his scalp.
That look swept across Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao, carrying a cold light and a sharp edge. If Jiang Yanqing was not essentially an adult, she would probably be scared to tears.
Fang Mingxiao himself was a man of deep thoughts, far beyond the calmness that one should have at his age. He stood steadily in front of Jiang Yanqing, looking back without changing his expression.
The man glanced at Fang Mingxiao and said coldly, "Come with me!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left. Fang Mingxiao reached out and held Jiang Yanqing's wrist, then followed him.
After leaving the yard, the man strode out in the opposite direction from which Jiang Yanqing and the others came. Fang Mingxiao and Jiang Yanqing also quickened their pace to catch up with him.
After walking for a few minutes, I walked out of the alley and arrived at a more remote intersection. There was a black vintage car parked at the intersection, shining coldly in the moonlight.
The man's attitude was as cold as ever. "Get in the car."
As he spoke, he walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in. Fang Mingxiao and Jiang Yanqing looked at each other, then got in and sat side by side in the back seat.
After a few people sat down, the car drove out smoothly. Jiang Yanqing occasionally looked at the time. After driving for more than 20 minutes, the car suddenly stopped.
The man handed over two black eye masks and said, "Put them on." His words were as concise as ever.
Fang Mingxiao reached out to take the eye mask and handed one to Jiang Yanqing. Neither of them said anything or asked any questions, and they put on the eye masks quietly.
Perhaps the calmness of the two men exceeded the man's expectations. When they put on the blindfolds, he felt a pair of inquiring gazes falling on them.
Wearing a blindfold, Jiang Yanqing sank his consciousness into the space, prepared some space well water and placed it separately, and took out the weapons in the space and placed them in the open.
After making preparations and looking at the wall clock, another twenty minutes passed before Jiang Yanqing's consciousness left the space. She moved her hands unconsciously, and Fang Mingxiao finally felt relieved.
In the past few days, Fang Mingxiao couldn't help feeling anxious. He always felt that something was wrong with Jiang Yanqing beside him. However, he had been holding the hand of the person next to him without letting go for a moment, and he really couldn't tell what was wrong.
He endured it again and again. Just when Fang Mingxiao couldn't help but take off the blindfold, Jiang Yanqing regained consciousness. Fang Mingxiao felt that the person in his hand had finally returned to normal.
This feeling really couldn't be expressed in words, but it kept circling in his heart. Just as Fang Mingxiao's mind was racing, he suddenly felt a heat beside his ear.
Then something appeared next to his lips. "Eat some candy." A familiar voice sounded. Fang Mingxiao opened his mouth obediently, and a hard object was immediately stuffed into his mouth.
It tastes slightly bitter at first, and the candy slowly melts in your mouth, bringing some sweetness. Then this indescribable taste becomes stronger and stronger, and the whole mouth is filled with a rich and fragrant taste.
Fang Mingxiao had never eaten such candy before. It was different from the milk candy and fruit candy he had eaten before. The sweetness flowed down his throat and into his heart.
Jiang Yanqing also had a piece of chocolate in her mouth and was slowly wrapping it with her tongue. This was the chocolate she brought back from abroad. She had kept it in the freezer and forgot to take it out. She just saw it when she was rummaging through things.
After checking the date and seeing that it was still within the shelf life, he took it out and shared it with Fang Mingxiao.
The two of them were thinking different things. After a while, the car came to a steady stop, and then they heard the man's voice again, "We're here."
Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao took off their blindfolds. The glaring light made them squint subconsciously. It took them a while to adjust before they opened their eyes again.
"Come with me."
The man had already started walking towards the house. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao looked at each other and followed him.
Jiang Yanqing then raised her head and looked at the house in front of her. It was a majestic building, like a white castle, with two men in black standing guard at the door.
But the man kept walking inside, and Jiang Yanqing didn't have time to look around. After entering the door, she found that the inside was unexpectedly simple and plain.
There was a vegetable patch and a flower patch in the yard, and nothing else. It was so empty that there wasn't even a tall tree. Jiang Yanqing became more and more cautious. This patient was more complicated than she had imagined.
