After returning to the top of the mountain, Zhang Zian turned the small mountaintop upside down and carefully searched every corner, including the back and side of the teahouse. The girl might not have gone down the mountain immediately after leaving the teahouse, but for some reason, she went around to the back of the teahouse. Because of his blind spot, he thought that she had already gone down the mountain.
He searched again, but there was no sign of her at the top of the mountain.
Fa Ci had noticed his strange behavior. When Zhang Zian got closer, he asked, "Lost your wallet?"
"Not really … but something like that." Zhang Zian took a deep breath. "Something weird happened."
"What is it?" Fa Ci perked up.
"How did the middle school girl disappear in a blink of an eye? Did she grow wings and fly away? "he was confused.
Fa Ci was stunned. "Which girl? The one at the foot of the mountain? "
Zhang Zian was speechless. Why did he feel like he was talking to a chicken?
"What?" Fa Ci was even more confused.
"Well … Didn't a middle school girl just leave the teahouse? Where did she go? Did you see her? "He put his palm across his chest to his chin to show the height of the girl.
Fa Ci stared at him. He didn't look like he was joking, but his words were getting more and more confusing. He answered, "You were the only one who left the teahouse."
What the f * ck?
Zhang Zian was dumbstruck. He didn't come back to his senses.
"From the time Grandpa Tea and I walked into the teahouse to the time I came out, no one left the teahouse? Were you so fascinated by the sword dance that you didn't notice? "he tried to confirm again.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Fa Ci, it was just too bizarre. A living person had disappeared for no reason. Was there going to be an X-Files show on the top of the mountain?
"I'm not that fascinated. If someone left the teahouse, I would definitely know." Fa Ci answered his question indirectly.
Comparing the senses of wild animals like wolves with those of humans was an insult to wolves. Their sense of smell, hearing, and the pads on the soles of their feet could sense human smells, sounds, and vibrations from walking. It was impossible for them to let a living human pass by without knowing anything.
That was weird. He clearly heard the sound of her opening and closing the door, but Fa Ci said she didn't leave the teahouse. The contradiction …
He changed his approach and asked again, "Then before I left the teahouse, did you hear the sound of the door opening and closing?"
If Fa Ci's answer was negative, then it could only be assumed that the entire teahouse was in a different dimension.
"Yes."
Facio nodded. "Someone opened and closed the door, but no one came out. I thought it was someone who had planned to leave but changed his mind at the last minute."
Zhang Zian finally found the crux of the problem.
There was a screen behind the door of the teahouse. The manager, the waiter, and he only saw the girl's figure disappear behind the screen and then heard the sound of the door opening and closing. They naturally thought that she had left the teahouse, but no one saw it with their own eyes.
The screen could only serve as a barrier. It could not hide anyone, so the answer was — she walked behind the screen, opened the door, closed the door, and then … disappeared between the screen and the door.
Could it be that she was a magician who could transform people into living beings?
Or was she an Arcanist who knew how to make herself invisible? The legendary China Dragon Group?
Supernatural incidents? In any case, it was still daytime. How could he see a ghost in broad daylight? Although Vladimir, who was good at exorcism, was not present, Fa Ci's exorcism power was not for nothing.
"What on earth happened?" Fa Ci could no longer hold back his curiosity.
Zhang Zian told it everything in detail. Anyway, it only took a few minutes. If it could find the blind spot in his thinking and use a reasonable answer to explain the matter, it would be best.
However, Fa Ci was also confused, not to mention other possibilities.
"That's impossible, right? Did you miss something? How could a living person disappear into thin air? "
It thought of the Indian wolf spirit in the Mahogany Forest. It also came and went secretly, but the wolf spirit was an unformed elfin.
"But other explanations are even more ridiculous." Zhang Zian scratched his head. He even felt that it would have been better if he had not chased after her. Out of sight, out of mind, and out of mind.
The man and the wolf looked at each other and replayed the whole thing again. They still could not figure out how she disappeared.
After the old people finished their sword dance, they sat on the stone bench and rested for a while. Then, they went down the mountain together, talking and laughing.
The top of the mountain was empty.
Zhang Zian did not understand, but it was not a good idea to keep thinking like that. He told Fa Ci that he was going back to the teahouse.
His tea was left untouched on the table.
"You were gone for so long. If I hadn't already paid, I would have thought you took the opportunity to run away …" the waiter muttered.
After he left, Shopkeeper Ye did not brew Tie Guanyin because she did not know when he would be back. If she brewed the tea too early, it might be cold by the time he came back. Now that he was back, she started to make tea.
Zhang Zian sat back in the chair. The jasmine tea was already a bit cold, but the temperature was just right for a sensitive cat's tongue. He poured two cups, pushed one to Old Time Tea, and declined the shopkeeper's offer to reheat the tea for him.
"Did you teach that little girl a lesson?" the waiter asked curiously when he saw that he did not look good.
He coughed. "Of course, I taught her a lesson. She also realized her mistake and deeply reflected on it. She promised that she would not do it again. She wrote down my contact information and said that she would go back to get the New Year's money for me … "
This was the so-called "even if you lose, you don't lose."
The shopkeeper and the waiter were a bit skeptical. The girl did not look like someone who could be taught a lesson easily. However, they were not there, and even if they did not believe it, they could not provide any evidence.
After a while, the shopkeeper finished brewing Tie Guanyin, and the waiter served it to him. Then the two of them went back to the counter and whispered to each other. They were all trivial things, and occasionally they talked about the girl.
As for Zhang Zian pouring two cups of tea for himself, they had gotten used to it since a year ago.
His words could only deceive them, but not Old Time Tea. Old Time Tea knew that things were not as simple as he said. It jumped out of the window while Old Time Tea was being brewed. It asked Faati in detail, and when it came back, it was also shocked.
Old Time Tea sniffed. The girl's smell did stop between the door and the screen. The smell she left outside had long been blown away by the wind.
Old Time Tea came back and shook its head slightly, indicating that it had no clue either.
Zhang Zian had expected that. The man and the cat drank silently, with a bitter smile on their faces.
The three of them had failed miserably today.
