Chapter 17: Under the Streetlights Dark shadows in the middle of the night

The little black cat lived in Xia's house like this, to Xia Yanqi's surprise, Xia Yanbo and Xia Shiyuan didn't seem to be surprised by the appearance of the little black cat, Xia Yanbo even cleaned up the study and installed a folding bed so that she could have a separate room without having to squeeze together with Xia Yanqi.

From this, Xia Yanqi was even more sure that her father must know Qin Peiyu's identity.

Qin Peiyu will not always follow Xia Yanqi's side, she is in good spirits at night, but she often disappears during the day, and she doesn't know where she went, after three times, Xia Yanqi no longer makes a fuss, the summer vacation is coming to an end, she has to hurry up and be chic.

Night.

Xia Yanqi was awakened by the same dream again, and this time the blood-colored veil added a little bloody smell, making her almost nauseous in her dream.

She was covered in sweat, and her cotton pajamas stuck to her body were uncomfortable.

When she calmed down a little, she felt thirsty and hot, so she simply got up and went out to pour a glass of water to settle down.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small moving black shadow moving silently towards the gate under the faint starlight.

Xia Yanqi was startled, and before he could react, he heard a small cat meow.

"It's you, you're scared to death. Xia Yanqi turned on the wall lamp in the living room and muttered and complained, "Why are you so elusive?"

Qin Peiyu ignored her, and after getting used to the light, he walked straight to the door, jumped on the doorknob to open the door, and then jumped out of the house.

I also closed the door by the way.

Xia Yanqi rubbed his eyes and looked at the doorknob in amazement, although Qin Peiyu's series of movements were too smooth!

What was she doing out in the middle of the night?

Xia Yanqi was suddenly a little curious, and without thinking, he turned around and took the key and quickly followed the phone.

Qin Peiyu was still waiting for the elevator, and when he saw her following, he flicked his tail indifferently.

Xia Yanqi smiled flatteringly at her, and when she saw that the elevator was coming, she also politely blocked the car door, and only pressed the button on the first floor after she squatted in the middle of the elevator.

Out of the community, Qin Peiyu almost didn't stop to look at the direction and ran straight to the right.

Her steps are small, but she moves quickly, and she doesn't follow the usual path, often climbing over walls and houses, even if there are people behind her.

This made Xia Yanqi bitter, and her legs were about to turn into Hot Wheels, but fortunately, she grew up in City A and was familiar with the roads around here, so she didn't let herself lose it.

When she was panting around a street, she saw that under the street lamp not far away, Qin Peiyu was squatting on the high wall on the side of the road, looking at the small alley next to her.

Xia Yanqi saw that she didn't seem to leave her thoughts for the time being, and she was really tired, so she slowly walked towards her while panting.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Xia Yanqi looked at Qin Peiyu's gaze.

The alley was narrow and deep, with tall walls on either side, and only a dim street lamp in the middle, so it was impossible to see what was in the dark depths.

There were a few figures whispering something under the street lamp, looking at the movements of their hands and feet, as if they were confronting.

One of them, although he took off his glasses, Xia Yanqi was very familiar.

"Brother Bingqian?"

Lu Bingqian seemed to hear her exclamation and looked over here.

Xia Yanqi hurriedly hid back, although she didn't know what she was hiding.

After waiting for a while, Xia Yanqi didn't hear any movement, so he dared to poke his head out and look inside, and there was no one under the street lamp.

"Huh?" Xia Yanqi raised his head and asked Qin Peiyu, "Where did they go?"

Qin Peiyu jumped down lightly and walked into the alley, and Xia Yan hurriedly followed.

As soon as she walked under the street lamp, Lu Bingqian's voice came from behind her.

"Strange words. ”

Xia Yanqi was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, Lu Bingqian's figure appeared on the edge of the light, and a pair of eyes flashed with pale green light, almost making Xia Yanqi think that he had seen it wrong.

He didn't wear glasses, his neatly combed hair was scattered on his forehead, and his black outfit looked extremely dangerous in the dark night.

This is not the usual Lu Bingqian at all!

Xia Yanqi subconsciously took a step back and shouted dryly, "Bing, Brother Bingqian." ”

Lu Bingqian walked forward to the light, and Xia Yanqi saw that he was carrying a transparent plastic bag in his hand, which contained a few happy water and some snacks.

"I saw something like you at the mouth of the alley, or really you, why are you here?"

Xia Yanqi didn't expect Lu Bingqian to ask her first, she didn't know how to answer for a while, her eyes flickered and glanced at the little black cat on the side, and she hurriedly said: "I'm here to find Qin Peiyu, yes, I'm here to find her, hehe." ”

She found an excuse, felt a little more relaxed, and pulled out a smile at Lu Bingqian, although the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"Isn't Shiyuan not letting you go out alone at night? Let's go, my car is over there, I'll take you back, lest she see it and scold me to death." ”

Lu Bingqian's voice was gentle, with a faint smile and ridicule, and his face was as calm as if the scene was just Xia Yanqi's illusion.

Seeing that Xia Yanqi didn't move, Lu Bingqian said again: "What are you waiting for?"

Xia Yanqi secretly glanced at Qin Peiyu, and when she saw her standing quietly at her feet, she took half a step towards Lu Bingqian's side.

Suddenly, Lu Bingqian's face changed drastically, and he almost rushed to Xia Yanqian's body, Xia Yanqian felt that her ankle seemed to be entangled in something, cold and cold, and that thing seemed to be drilling into her bones.

"Meow!"

Qin Peiyu screamed angrily, and slapped it with one paw, slapping the black thing away.

At this time, Lu Bingqian had already run in front of Xia Yanqi, grabbed her arm and hurriedly retreated to the mouth of the alley, and Qin Peiyu followed behind.

Xia Yanqi was vigorously pulled forward, and when he looked back in a panic, he saw that under the street lamp, there were black shadow vines, and those vines were about the thickness of an adult's arm, waving towards them, and the other end of the vine was hidden in the darkness that the street lamp could not illuminate, and he didn't know what was inside.

Qin Peiyu's kitten flew up and down nimbly, and those black shadows disappeared into the air when they touched her little paws, and it seemed that she was at ease.

It's just that there are too many vines, and the small figure of the black cat is almost buried in the black shadow.

After a few strokes to bring Xia Yanqi to the mouth of the alley, Lu Bingqian threw the car key to Xia Yanqian, "Go to the intersection and wait for me in the car!"

Before the word "I" could be spoken, Lu Bingqian had already run back and stood in front of the black shadow.

He didn't use a weapon, he just stretched out the vine with both hands, and then gently tore it, and the black image he touched disappeared in an instant, as if he had seen some bright light.

Xia Yanqi's heart was about to jump out of her throat, her mouth was dry, she swallowed her saliva, gritted her teeth and was about to run to the intersection.

As soon as she turned around, a hand reached out from the wall and pulled her into her arms.

"Ah!!h
