Chapter 369: Sneaking in late at night
Hearing Lin Xiran's words, Qin Xiusheng's heart burned with deep emotion. Although he knew that Lin Xiran couldn't see it, he still nodded vigorously.
After telling Lin Xiran the news that he was leaving, Qin Xiusheng began to prepare to set off towards the town.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiusheng, who had rested all night, embarked on a journey. This time, without Luo Ziran's follow, he rushed in the direction of the town alone.
I got off the train and came to the streets of the town, which were the same as when he came a few days ago, still deserted streets and dilapidated shops.
After the last incident, Qin Xiusheng knew very well in his heart that the residents of the town were full of hostility towards him. If someone finds out, even if Xiaoqi helps this time, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being burned at the stake.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiusheng did not rush forward. He knew that people from the town didn't usually come near the station. He decided to wait here until the evening, and then sneak into the town to find Xiaoqi.
Little by little, the sun slowly set on the other side of the mountain. As night fell, Qin Xiusheng approached the center of the town little by little.
Along the way, Qin Xiusheng has been cautious, for fear of being discovered. Finally arrived near the square, Qin Xiusheng immediately stopped. In the distance, he could faintly see the townsfolk patrolling the square, and he couldn't help but frown.
It seems that the escape of him and Luo Ziran from the town has made the townspeople more cautious than before. Even at night, there are still townspeople patrolling the center of the town.
This made Qin Xiusheng secretly scream in his heart, he was not familiar with the roads in the town, and it was night, so he didn't dare to move forward at all. Otherwise, once it is discovered by the townspeople, the consequences are unimaginable.
Qin Xiusheng hid in the shadows and waited until late at night. He had thought that at such a late hour, the townspeople would at least let their guard down and give him a chance to slip through, if not to rest. But to his surprise, the townspeople did not let their guard down at all, and still patrolled carefully, without any chance.
Seeing this, Qin Xiusheng's heart became anxious. If it drags on any longer, it's going to be dawn. If you don't sneak in at night, you won't have a chance after dawn.
Biting his lip vigorously, Qin Xiusheng decided to take the risk and try it to see if he could lure the patrolling guards away.
Picking up a stone casually, Qin Xiusheng threw it into the distance with a stroke of his wrist. The sound of the stone hitting the ground alarmed the patrolling townspeople, and several of them raised their torches at the same time, shining in the direction from which the sound came.
Seeing that the townspeople's attention was attracted by the sound of the stones, Qin Xiusheng held his breath and rushed towards the other side of the square at full speed.
"Who's there?" Qin Xiusheng had just walked through the square, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the voice of the townspeople came.
Seeing the flames approaching him little by little, Qin Xiusheng only felt that his heart had already risen to his throat. His brain was racing, thinking about how to deal with it.
Just now, the attention of the townspeople was attracted by the stones, and coupled with the darkness around them, Qin Xiusheng speculated that they only vaguely saw the black shadow flashing, and did not notice themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiusheng decided to take a gamble. If you continue to hide, you will definitely be discovered by the townsfolk with torches, so it is better to give it a go.
"Meow. Qin Xiusheng pinched his throat and let out a cat meow. He prayed in his heart that his voice would not be discovered.
It backfired, perhaps because the voice imitated by Qin Xiusheng was too fake, and several townspeople did not give up because of this, but leaned in the direction from which the voice came.
Qin Xiusheng sighed, and a wisp of despair rose in his heart. He knew very well in his heart what would await him if he was discovered by the townspeople.
Just as Qin Xiusheng was about to give up and walk out of his hiding place, he suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing past him.
"Meow. A pure cat meow sounded, and Qin Xiusheng realized that it was a cat that had just flashed past him.
Seeing the cat's appearance, several townsfolk let their guard down. He didn't continue to look for it, and returned to the square to keep guard.
Qin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, his luck was so good, there happened to be a cat passing by here. If it weren't for the cat, he would have been caught by the townspeople by now. With the lesson of the last time, maybe he will not even be locked up after being caught this time, and he will probably be burned at the stake on the spot.
Narrowly escaped, Qin Xiusheng didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and continued to rush towards Xiao Qi's residence. Fortunately, there aren't many townspeople other than the Must-Go Square. He marched forward vigilantly, dodging the patrolling townspeople, and finally arrived in front of Xiaoqi's residence.
Seeing the gate, Qin Xiusheng frowned again. In front of Xiaoqi's residence, there were also townspeople guarding. Moreover, judging from their attire, they are not Xiao Qi's subordinates, but ordinary townspeople.
Qin Xiusheng's face became very ugly, with them guarding the door, it was impossible for him to sneak inside the gate. It seems that the last time he and Luo Ziran escaped, the mayor of the town was also wary of Xiaoqi.
Qin Xiusheng only felt sweat dripping from his forehead, and his heart was very anxious. If you don't find a way to get in, it's going to be dawn. If it was dawn and he had nowhere to hide, he would have been easily discovered by the townspeople. And, to make matters worse, he couldn't turn back even if he wanted to. It was all a matter of luck that I had just passed through the square, and the townsfolk would have noticed something was wrong if we had used the old way.
Biting his lip hard, since there was no way to enter the door, Qin Xiusheng decided to give it a try from the window. However, the last time he came, he didn't pay attention to which window Xiao Qi's room was, and if he made a mistake and broke into someone else's room, it would be like throwing himself into a net.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Qin Xiusheng searched around the house, hoping to identify which window was Xiao Qi's room.
All the windows in the entire house looked exactly the same, and Qin Xiusheng couldn't tell them for a while. His face was getting worse and worse, and the sky was already white at this time, and it would not be long before it would brighten. By that time, he would have no place to hide.
At this moment, Qin Xiusheng suddenly noticed a light shining through a window. Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Qin Xiusheng quietly approached the window and looked inside.
"Xiao Qi?" Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but exclaim, he was surprised to find that the window that was lit up and waiting was Xiao Qi's room. The sky is about to be bright, and Xiaoqi hasn't rested yet.
