There was no surprise inside the door behind the kitchen, it was just a small storage room. The moment she opened the door, Hao Mengyuan was disappointed, and Tong Tong breathed a sigh of relief - that's right, if things went too smoothly, it would make people feel nervous.

Tong Tong hurriedly explained: "Teacher Hao, what I can be sure of is that there must be something in the bar, otherwise where did the goods they transport come from? Is it a parallel world?"

Hao Mengyuan was amused: "You are still more optimistic than me."

Although there are no outsiders in the bar, they both feel like they are being monitored. It seems that there is a net above their heads. At some point, the net will fall down and tightly bind the two of them. Hao Mengyuan always wants to pull Tong Tong's clothes, as if she is holding him as if she is holding a sense of security. In this case, Tong Tong gently held her hand and said, "Not afraid."

Hao Mengyuan is really not afraid.

"Boss Tong, although it's not auspicious to say this, I do feel like I'm being led by someone."

"Well, I'm the same. But... as long as we keep struggling, they can only follow us."

"Um?"

"Teacher Hao, you have never raised a dog? You have never walked a dog, right? As long as you observe, you will find that although the owner is holding a leash and leading his pet along the path he wants to take, things often go against their wishes, and in the end they become the owner chasing the dog."

"I understand the truth." Hao Mengyuan couldn't help laughing: "But, how could you compare yourself to a dog?"

Yes.

Tong Tong also laughed: "I'm too nervous, right?"

"No, you are not nervous at all." Hao Mengyuan said: "Although you said you took me to take risks, you are actually confident."

Tong Tong kept silent.

Hao Mengyuan continued, "Did you find something wrong long ago?"

"It's not true." Tong Tong's answer was ambiguous: "Don't rush to ask me, what do you have to hide from me?"

Another "confession" that is not like love words, but better than love words, Hao Mengyuan's hands stopped shaking. She glanced at her hand, and was still held by Tong Tong. Then continue to hold it! Hao Mengyuan is not embarrassed at all. It is really a blessing to hold hands like this.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that if there is really danger, you won't bring me here."

"It's not that there's no danger at all, right?" Tong Tong said worriedly: "You always trust me unconditionally, and I'm flattered... But I'm not a general who wins. I don't have so much confidence in myself."

"If you really don't have confidence, you won't talk to me so much leisurely."

Hao Mengyuan's hands became hotter a little bit. Tong Tong felt the change in her body temperature and knew that she was not so nervous. However, he did not let go of his hand, but continued to hold her hand and took her towards the bathroom. On the exterior wall of the bathroom, there was a very short door, with a mop and a bucket outside. Tong Tong took the bucket, opened the door, and said, "I place my hope here."

The door was very small, and Hao Mengyuan was 1.65 meters tall, and almost had to bow 90 degrees before entering, let alone a tall man like Tong Tong. Hao Mengyuan said: "If someone really works behind this door, he should be a dwarf Oberumber!"

"Uh... there is this possibility." Tong Tong pretended to be relaxed and joked: "It's a pity that this is not a chocolate-producing factory! There is no endless cocoa!"

Hao Mengyuan smiled knowingly and stepped in before Tong Tong. This girl was really not afraid of anything. Tong Tong always admired her courage. She pushed open the work clothes hanging on the wall and exposed another door. When she opened the door, there was indeed a long staircase inside. Hao Mengyuan turned on the flashlight in her phone and turned around and said, "I didn't touch the switch. I probably had to walk down to turn on the light!"

"Yeah, be careful."

Tong Tong followed in, and the two of them were still holding hands and walking down step by step. A few days ago, Hao Mengyuan sprained her foot and felt uncomfortable stepping on such a narrow and high staircase. However, as soon as she turned around and saw Tong Tong, she smiled knowingly.

"Be careful, look ahead!"

After Tong Tong had just reminded him, Hao Mengyuan hit the wall with a "bang". It turned out that the stairs had already been down. Hao Mengyuan didn't realize it and turned on the lights with her face.

The light suddenly lit up, and the two of them could see clearly the situation in the basement. It was very spacious inside, with more than 30 square meters. There was no one in the world and there were no goods. There were only a few machines that Hao Mengyuan had never seen before. Tong Tong recognized those machines. In addition to printers, there were also coders and plastic sealing machines. What Hao Mengyuan didn't understand was that there were several large iron basins.

What exactly is it for?

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the place to package fake medicines." Tong Tong picked up a small stool, sat next to a large basin, and said: "The outer packaging of fake medicines is produced here, and many fake medicines are shipped here to package. However, Tian Yimei is very cunning. These medicines should be sold in combination with real and fake."

"Fake medicine can kill people!" Hao Mengyuan said angrily: "What kind of crazy people can think of making money with fake medicine?!"

"Money can make the devil push. Teacher Hao, your living environment is too simple. What you may see may be colleagues who are intriguing with you or disobedient students. But there are really many bad people in this world."

...

Before Tong finished speaking, the door above his head creaked and closed.

It was like a gust of wind blew, and the door was closed slowly and very natural.

Hao Mengyuan was anxious: "Hey! There is still someone below! Open the door!"

After shouting like this, no one responded to them. Tong Tong took the lead in climbing up the stairs and smashed the door desperately, but only silence was the response. In just a while, a smell of smoke came in through the crack of the door. Tong Tong stood by the door and felt a strong burning sensation.

Needless to say, they also know what happened.

Hao Mengyuan knelt on the ground with a "thump", and all her despair was written on her face: "They are going to burn us to death?"

Tong Tong said nothing. He expected a lot of things, but he didn't expect Tian Yimei to set fire directly. There must be no cell phone signal in the basement. If no one called the fire, Tong Tong and Hao Mengyuan would be killed in it. Moreover, judging from the fire action, Tian Yimei no longer wanted this bar, so even if they died in it, no one would notice it.

Tong Tong was not as desperate as Hao Mengyuan, but she also felt a sense of anxiety. There was no water in this basement and nothing to cover her mouth and nose. It was even more airtight and there were no windows to open. Judging from all the signs, Tian Yimei really planned to suffocate them to death.

Ah! This woman is more cruel than Su Zilong. Su Zilong dares not kill people on purpose, but Tian Yimei dares.

After the panic, Hao Mengyuan began to cry loudly. Although she was full of fear in the face of death, her first reaction was what should she do? He had already experienced the pain of losing his wife in middle age. Should he experience the despair of losing his son in his later years?

Tong Tong held her in his arms and comforted her: "Teacher Hao, believe me, we will not die."

"Is there any other good way?"

"We both have many good friends, maybe... we can look forward to friends coming to save us."

Hao Mengyuan was depressed: "My best friend is still lying on the hospital bed, and no other friends know that I am here. What about you? Are you sure there will be friends who know about it?"

"As long as you have hope, there may be a turning point soon."

Tong Tong held her and hugged her sobbing in her arms - it was as natural as if she had hugged her many times. Tong Tong was thinking about something, but Hao Mengyuan took out her cell phone and left a message to her father in the memo of the phone. Every time she said a few words, she couldn't continue and cried and said she missed her father. Tong Tong patted her shoulder and comforted her in vain. Although she was full of fear, she did not blame Tong Tong. This made Tong Tong even more guilty.

"Miracles will happen, Teacher Hao." Tong Tong said: "Or, I'll tell you a story!"

The smell of smoke became heavier and he could almost see it with the naked eye. Hao Mengyuan's eyes were blurred with tears and she could hardly hear what Tong Tong was talking about. She leaned her head on Tong Tong's shoulder and coughed softly. Tong Tong said, "Don't say anything now, don't be nervous, adjust your breathing, there will be no problem."

"Teacher Hao, many years after Teacher Meng left, I have never forgotten her. I went to college, had a new life, made new friends, and even received a scholarship that I never dared to think about before... At the beginning, I sent a message to Teacher Meng no matter big or small matters. But she was gone, how could she reply to me? But I didn't give up and sent it to her. Because she left so suddenly, it took me a long time to digest it. I always felt that as long as I continued to send it, she would always reply to me... But one year, two years... five years have passed, she never replied to me. Should I give up? No, I can't give up. In the sixth year, that is, the year when I returned to Hong Kong City, I told her that I was back, guess what? My phone really responded. Look, as long as I don't give up hope, I will still wait for a turnaround."

...

Hao Mengyuan's eyes were so smoky that she burst into tears. Her coughing sounded more frequently, but her eyes gradually became brighter. She said, "Do you still wish her a happy Chinese New Year?"

"Hmm?...How do you know?"

"You have also been to her hometown and have put several books in her hometown library, including "Love in the Time of Cholera"?"

Tong Tong blinked and confirmed that the person in front of him was Hao Mengyuan, not Teacher Meng.

Hao Mengyuan said: "You should know that the person is definitely not Teacher Meng, but a kind person. She gave you hope and made you believe that there is God's will in this world, right?"

Tong Tong was completely stunned: "Teacher Hao, how did you know?"
