Out of the ten people present, everyone minus Bai Youwei, who was handicapped started rummaging through the house.
The house was filled with countless dolls. Although finding them was a relatively easy task, they soon unearthed a huge pile of teddy bears of various colors, materials, and shapes—
Big and small, fat and thin, ones with pants or hats, all types were found.
“Look at this one, it’s like the bear outside!”
Zhu Shu pulled one out of the pile of dolls. It was a brown stuffed bear with a bow at the collar. The bow was identical to the one on the bear outside, both were red with black polka dots.
“The Spring Bear has awoken. It has lost its two cubs and is truly anxious There should be one more bear ,” Yan Qingwen furrowed his brows, “Everyone look again. Is there another toy bear with a red and black dotted bow?”
Everyone was busy looking for the bear.
Drawers, wardrobes, wall cabinets, storage boxes, underneath beds, behind doors, inside the attic—even the chimney was not spared!
They found different types of bears, but none wore a red and black dotted bow!
“Brother Yan, these are all the bears we could find.”
“Could we have been wrong? Perhaps it doesn’t necessarily have to wear a bow?”
“But the bears without bows make up for more than forty. The range is too large; we can’t confirm this way.”
“What about ones with bows? Here we have blue bows, black bows, pink bows…”
“That would also result in dozens …”
“We’ve searched every possible place, what do we do now?”
The group discussed in a clamor, checking the toy bears time and time again.
Bai Youwei, having nothing to do, rolled her wheelchair over to the window to look at the bear outside.
The bear was still there.
It crouched motionless at the door, its massive, hulking figure resembling a mountain of meat.
If a beast of this magnitude ran wild, every single person or even the house would likely suffer severe damages. Luckily it was not coming in yet, giving them enough time to prepare.
As the Inspector said, without the toy house owner’s permission, no one could enter.
Owner of the Toy House…
Bai Youwei mused, finding this detail interesting.
Then, Shen Mo came down from upstairs, his hands empty, unable to find anything.
He came over to take a sip of water and said, staring out the window, “Each season changes after 8 hours, so the seasons of Spring, Summer, and Autumn take up 24 hours, a full day. But we can’t be searching for things non-stop, there’s no food here, and the longer we stay, the less favourable it is for us.”
“We’ve just started, let’s take it slow.” Bai Youwei remarked nonchalantly as she watched the bear.
Being wheelchair-bound, she knew she wouldn’t be able to contribute much to the search.
“Brother Yan! Look at this!” Li Li suddenly shouted from upstairs.
The few people downstairs turned to look as Li Li came downstairs, carrying a model of a pirate ship, with Tan Xiao and Chang Weicai following him.
The ship model was about the length of an adult’s forearm, with skull heads the size of a pinky fingernail, along with wood-carved food and gems painted neatly. It looked pretty convincing.
“This must be the treasure, right?” Li Li placed the ship model on the dining table and said, panting, “When the guest from summer comes, this will come in handy.”
Yan Qingwen looked at the ship model, slightly nodding, he asked him, “Who found it?”
“I…” Li Li looked a little uncomfortable. He glanced to the side, ” and Tan Xiao.”
Tan Xiao didn’t think much of it and straightforwardly said, “We were up in the attic searching for the bear and found a huge whale stuffed animal! When we lifted it, it was pretty heavy! A plush toy shouldn’t weight this much, right? So, we cut open its belly! Wow besides the stuffing, there was this big ship! Magical, isn’t it!”
