.It wasn’t until Qiao Shishi’s family called to urge her to go home that Wen Jiu completed the calculation and comparison of the price list.

But she could continue the rest of the work when she got home, so she asked Qiao Shishi and Li Qingyu to leave first. She checked the things again before closing the shop and leaving.

It was getting dark outside, so Wen Jiu had no choice but to turn on the light to illuminate it.

She first checked everywhere on the first floor to make sure that all kinds of items and ingredients were stored, and then stepped up the steps to the second floor.

In fact, the decoration on the second floor of a house is also very simple, but after it is illuminated by bright yellow lights, and you look at the ubiquitous atmosphere of life, it feels like the warmth of home.

Wen Jiu looked around the living room, then opened the doors to the master bedroom and utility room and took a look.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she was about to go to the bathroom to take a look, but suddenly she heard a subtle noise.

It seemed like there was someone walking around in the room besides her.

The main reason is that the floors on the second floor are all made of wood, and it is easy to make creaking sounds if you step on them for a long time.

Wen Jiu stood there holding her breath. Apart from her own shallow breathing and the ticking of the clock, she heard no other sounds.

But she didn't leave here in a hurry, she just stayed where she was and pricked her ears.

After a long time, she finally waited for the faint crunching sound.

Wen Jiu turned around and searched for the source of the sound, but what surprised her was that the sound actually came from the mahogany door.

Behind that mahogany door is Xiao Chu's room. Why is there the sound of someone stepping on the ground?

She deliberately slowed down her steps and slowed down her breathing, and then slowly walked to the mahogany door.

After waiting for a long time, another shallow crunching sound came out.

Because she was standing in front of the mahogany door, the voice was much clearer than before.

Wen Jiu silently put her hand into the pocket of her cotton-padded jacket, and the cold touch of metal made her tense up even more.

It's not that she's afraid of any strange people or creatures appearing, she's just wondering why she's so unlucky.

She finally passed the final exam, but she was targeted and wasted several days of vacation.

Now that she has finally taken the make-up exam and is on vacation, she can open a shop to make money, but now she has encountered something strange again.

God, she really just wants to make money and count money in peace!

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu silently found the key to the mahogany door. She held the key tightly and waited for the creaking sound again.

Crunch. Crunch.

Wen Jiu quickly took out the key, unlocked the door and opened the door in one go. However, when she pushed the door open, only a breeze blew past her.

The dust in the room was blown all over the sky by the wind, and there was nothing else except furniture and Xiao Chu's personal belongings.

Wen Jiu covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and stepped into the room. She searched it carefully but found nothing strange.

No, it’s not completely different.

She frowned and stood in front of the wide open glass window. Outside the window was the main road of the commercial street without any obstruction.

Besides, with how much Lao Chu cares about Xiao Chu, how could he not even close the window?

This is really weird.

The window is opposite the door, and there is a wooden desk under the window.

Wen Jiu first lay down by the window and looked down. It was already the closing time of the scenic spot, so the road was empty.

The few people who pass by are not tourists, they are all shop owners who live here.

She observed for a while but found nothing unusual, so she could only close and lock the window first.

Because the desk was next to the window, when she closed the window and lowered her head, she saw various marks carved on it.

[It’s annoying to study every day, but the teacher said that only by studying hard can you get promoted.]

[Whoever loves school can go to school. Anyway, I don’t want to go to college anymore.]

[Sorry for the slap in the face, I love school.]

Wen Jiu glanced at it casually, and the traces engraved on it seemed like he was writing a brief diary.

It can be seen that Xiao Chu is a somewhat naughty child, no different from other children. While complaining that he is tired and bored at school, he obediently runs to the college.

But when she looked at it, she realized something was wrong. Xiao Chu's habit of carving words was from top to bottom, so the words engraved on the upper half of the table were all about complaining about college life.

But the words engraved on the lower half of the table are completely different.

【Why why why it’s me? Is it okay if I want to give up?】

[It hurts so much, it hurts every day. Someone please save me, I really can’t hold on any longer.]

[Telling me that I can make a wish to the gods, I think this is really stupid. If making a wish can completely escape, then I am willing to sacrifice my soul.]

【No one can save me.】

These words made Wen Jiu a little silent. She didn't know much about Xiao Chu's affairs.

But from other people, we can know that the other person must have experienced something unbearable.

Xu Wangming had also revealed to her before that it was precisely because Xiao Chu was taken away for training that he became the last out-of-control and violent appearance, leading to a big mistake and his escape.

"Alas."

Wen Jiu's mood was a little complicated. She gently rubbed the scratches on the table.

Just as she was thinking quietly, there was another slight crunching sound.

She walked in the direction of the sound, and this time the sound came from Xiao Chu's closet.

"Oops!"

Wen Jiu gathered flames with one hand and opened the wooden door of the wardrobe with the other.

However, what she didn't expect was that there was a black kitten in the pile of clothes under the wardrobe.

As if sensing Wen Jiu's gaze, the kitten burrowed deeper into the pile of clothes. It stepped on the wooden board at the bottom of the wardrobe and made a faint creaking sound.

"Why is there a cat here?"

Wen Jiu talked to herself and moved closer. She extinguished the flame, dug open the pile of clothes, and then took out the kitten.

This cat is completely black, but there are a few clusters of bright red hair on its forehead.

He looked very thin and tried to escape after being caught.

It waved its paws desperately, but Wen Jiu could tell at a glance that the cat's right forelimb was injured.

"Where did you get in, little guy? The window?" She held the black cat in her arms and observed.

When I was in the school, there were a few senior sisters who liked to keep pets, and one of them kept kittens.

Therefore, Wen Jiu is quite familiar with cats. She thinks that although this cat is very thin, it should be an adult cat in terms of size.

"Poor little kitten, you have nothing to eat if you stay here. Do you want to go home with me?"

Wen Jiu smiled and stretched out his hand to play with the cat in his arms, but the cat was very vicious and wanted to bite her finger.
