Chapter 80: The Unexpected
Lin Xi was comforting the little boy in a warm voice, and the strong force that came from behind raised her sleeves with a sharp wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lin Xi didn't move, because she knew that Xue Yi was behind her, and he wouldn't be able to hurt her.
Unexpectedly, the stubborn little boy who still had tears in the corners of his eyes in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand, slapped his palms straight towards Lin Xi's abdomen, and then moved two feet to the left at a speed impossible for mortals to achieve, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. The little boy also sat down on the ground after standing firmly.
And Lin Xi was unguarded, and was actually slapped by the little boy and quickly retreated. Xue Yi was secretly frightened when he saw it, with such speed and strength, Lin Xi would inevitably be injured, and he didn't care about anything else, so he flew to catch Lin Xi from behind, and in the next breath, the two of them hit the walls of three or four houses in a row.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the street, Xue Yi shouted at Lin Xi, "Sword!" Get out your sword! ā
Lin Xi was suddenly stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, he heard Xue Yi's shout, so he turned around, sacrificed the fire phoenix wooden sword, slammed it into the ground, and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, just like that, the two of them retreated for more than two zhang before they could stop.
"How? Are there any injuries? Xue Yi looked down at Lin Xi and asked, with concern on his face.
Lin Xi shook his head: "It didn't hurt!" "Except for being a little frightened.
The little boy's arm strength was not enough to cause damage to himself, but thinking of the sound he heard the moment his body flew out, Lin Xi's face was a little ugly.
"What just happened?" Standing out of Xue Yi's arms, Lin Xi asked.
"Shadow! He is being controlled by shadows and attacking you! Xue Yi briefly explained that he was the first to notice the shadow's abnormality, but he didn't expect the shadow to move faster than him.
Looking at the blood stains on the corner of Xue Yi's mouth, Lin Xi took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, poured two healing pills and handed them to Xue Yi, "You are injured, come out!" ā
Turning around, looking at a long sword mark left on the ground, as well as more than a dozen holes in the wall, Lin Xi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Alright, let's take a look!" Xue Yiwen said.
The two went through the gap in the wall, and when they came to each house, they threw down a piece of silver. Perhaps they saw the silver on the ground through the cracks, and one after another someone opened the door and came out quietly, took the silver home, and closed the doors and windows again.
When he walked back to the small courtyard of the little boy's house, he saw the little boy sitting on the ground, the shadow of the gate cast on him, the occasional wind blowing, and the water in the water tank in the corner of the wall was flooded with two ripples.
Lin Xi thought of the sound he heard the moment he pushed it out, and glanced at his side, and sure enough, the two arms were softly pulling, and the legs were already bent at a strange angle, and a wave of anger surged in Lin Xi's heart. The little boy is a pure mortal, and no matter where this thrust comes from, the little boy who puts it into action is the ultimate victim.
Looking further up, the little boy still had a fear on his face that had not had time to disappear, and it seemed that he himself did not know what was going on.
Seeing Lin Xi look over, the little boy cried out with a "wow", "Sister, save me...... Don't want to die! ā
Lin Xi reassured, "Don't be afraid, my sister will definitely save you!" ā
As he spoke, he looked at the ground, and there was no shadow? Lin Xi's eyes swept over the little boy and didn't linger long.
Lin Xi turned his head to look at Xue Yi, "It's it!" Xue Yi nodded.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then what now?" ā
Xue Yi spit out a word: "Wait!" ā
At present, there is really no good way, this shadow has just controlled the little boy's movements, according to the strength just now, the two of them may not be able to take down this shadow together, but I am afraid that if I hurt the little boy.
Lin Xi refocused his attention on the little boy, and asked in a gentle voice, "Little brother, don't be afraid, tell my sister what is your name?" ā
"My name is Qi Lin." The little boy said with a trembling crying voice.
"Qi Lin, don't be afraid, did you feel anything abnormal in your body when you pushed me and moved before telling my sister?" Lin Xi slowly guided Qi Lin.
After thinking for a while, Qi Lin replied uncertainly, "I feel like my body can't move at that moment." ā
"And now, do you still feel that way?"
As the sun moved westward, the shadow cast from the door grew longer and longer, and more shadows shifted from Qi Lin's body to the ground.
Qi Lin shook his head: "No." ā
Lin Xi looked at Xue Yi, Xue Yi nodded, and Lin Xi walked towards Qi Lin first.
Lin Xi kept an eye on Qi Lin, while Xue Yi stared at the shadow on the ground.
Sure enough, just half a foot away, a black shadow popped out of the shadows on the ground, attached to Qi Lin's body, and the arm was wrapped around his neck.
It seems that the shadow was hidden in the projection of the gate before, but fortunately he didn't act rashly at first, otherwise, the little boy would have suffered again.
Glancing at the shadow on Qi Lin's body, Lin Xi continued to walk forward, guiding Qi Lin to speak, "Sister, there are a lot of sweets here, do you want to eat them?" ā
The black shadow on Qi Lin's chest that could not be seen moved, and the black shadow on his neck was slowly tightening, Qi Lin felt something tightly wrapped around his neck, his eyes showed fear, and he looked at Lin Xi with a smile.
Lin Xi had no choice but to stop.
It's not a way to go on like this, Lin Xi took out a bunch of candies from the storage bag and put them at his feet, straightened up and said to Qi Lin, "Sister still has something to do, I can't stay here with you all the time, for the sake of you calling me sister, these candies are left for you." ā
Qi Lin wiped the tears from his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Is my sister leaving?" Sister...... Sister, don't you care about me......"
Xue Yi yawned, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "She said, we still have something!" We've been here for too long. What's more, we don't know each other in the first place, and we are not obligated to stay! ā
After speaking, he turned to Lin Xi and said lazily, "Let's go!" ā
After listening to Xue Yi's words, Qi Lin forgot to cry, and looked at Lin Xi with his mouth open in surprise, not understanding why his sister, who was still gentle and amiable just now, changed her face.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Okay!" Let's go! He looked at Qi Lin again, "We're leaving!" Don't forget to eat sweets! ā
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he passed by Qi Lin's side first, and Xue Yi followed closely. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the shadow binding Qi Lin tighter, and without stopping, he turned around and entered the alley directly.
Qi Lin saw his brother and sister leave like this, and his father who was lying in the yard was still asleep, thinking of the unknown thing wrapped around his neck, he was even more frightened, and couldn't help crying, hoping to lure his brother and sister back.
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Lin was crying until he hiccuped, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't cry, and there was still no expectation at the door of the courtyard, and even the neighbors closed the doors and windows more tightly.
