Chapter Ninety-Three: I'll Always Be Waiting for You
Yes, there was no response, and the dark room was still dead.
Of course I was uneasy.
The socks were stuffed in the shoes, proving that the shoes were the shoes worn by the owners of the house.
And why did the owner of this house get out of bed without wearing shoes?
Did he find out when I entered the house with Lin Li on my back, so he took me and Lin Li for thieves, so he slipped out of bed and hid in the darkness somewhere in this room, waiting to attack us?
"I'm really not a thief, and we don't have malicious intent!"
I continued anxiously.
However, there was no response, and the room was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat and the faint breathing of the trees above my shoulder, but nothing else.
I frowned tightly, of course I couldn't figure it out, because then there was only one possibility.
The owner of the house got out of bed without putting on his shoes, and left the house and went out.
In the middle of the night, the three village teams of Yujiawan, which couldn't be illuminated by the moonlight, left the house without wearing shoes......
What's going on? But no matter how urgent it is, there is always time to put on shoes, right?
Or is something wrong that prevents the owner of the house from putting on his shoes when he goes out?
Of course, I couldn't be sure, so I shook my head, suppressed my doubts, and continued to explore.
It wasn't until I found a wooden table in the middle of the room in the dark that I was surprised to find that there was a kerosene lamp and a matchbox on it.
He quickly lit the kerosene lamp with a match, and for a moment the flickering light broke through the darkness and illuminated all parts of the inner room.
There really is no one......
There were all kinds of clothes hanging in the closet, and on the wooden cabinet next to the bedside were a cigarette stick, a pair of reading glasses, and a sweater that was half-knitted.
All this is enough to show that this house is inhabited, but where did the owner who lived in this house go at this time? Why didn't you wear shoes or reading glasses, and just went out?
For a while, I just felt that the atmosphere in this room was weird.
Taking a deep breath and lowering his pace, he walked out of the back room with a kerosene lamp and walked around the entire tiled house.
There was still no trace of the owner of the house, and there was really no one in this tiled house at this time......
Shaking his head, he forced himself not to think about it yet, carried Lin Li into the stove house, and put the kerosene lamp on the pot table of the stove house.
With the flickering candlelight of the kerosene lamp, I searched around the stove, and finally, under the lid of the pot on one side of the stove, I found a bowl of white porridge!
I quickly put down the forest grains on my back, let her lean against the corner of the stove, picked up the white porridge and pushed her shoulder.
"Fruit, fruit......"
Lin Li opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw the white porridge in my hand, he also opened his mouth.
I hurriedly fed the white porridge into Lin Li's mouth, and Lin Li swallowed slowly, which finally relieved me.
Although it is only white porridge, for the current level of weakness, it is no less than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.
In this way, until Lin Li took all the white porridge in the bowl, and then let Lin Li rest for a while, he continued to look in the stove house to see if he could find some other food.
Fortunately, it may be that God has finally opened his eyes, and in the corner of the stove house, where the dishes are placed, there is a bag of rice and a few cabbages wrapped in the heart.
I scooped a bowl of water, grabbed a handful of rice and vegetable leaves, poured them all into the iron pot on the stove, and then made a firewood and cooked rice porridge.
And because the bellows were too moving, I didn't move, so I slowly boiled over low heat.
Then he went to Lin Li in the corner of the wall, leaned against her and sat down, completely collapsed in the corner and rested.
It was really sore and sleepy, but I still held on and told myself that I must not sleep.
I'm not sure if Yu Geng and the man in uniform will find this village, so I must continue to be vigilant.
And this rest, my whole body seemed to melt, and I didn't want to move at all, until after a while, the aroma of rice porridge came out of the iron pot, and the forest grains beside me gradually opened their eyes.
"Brother...... Where are we......"
"In the village, it should be fairly safe."
"In the village?
Brother, didn't you call for help? ”
I was stunned, stared at Lin Li's half-open eyes, and secretly gritted my teeth.
"Guoli'er, we don't need rescue, I can take you out, trust me."
This is, of course, a reckless statement.
How could we not need rescue?
It's just that at this time, our rescue is chasing us......
I gritted my teeth because I believed so much......
"Your Excellency Jiang Wangsheng."
At this time, Jiang Yunliu's voice suddenly rose from my heart, with a hint of lamentation.
"If I'm not mistaken, you've been desperate since you entered the fork in the road, haven't you?
No one will come to your aid, neither the light in your heart nor the righteousness you believe in.
As I've said a long time ago, this is a world of cannibalism, both inhumans and humans.
You don't want to be eaten by others, so you can only eat others.
You don't want to be trampled under the feet of demons, then you can only be more evil than demons.
Embrace the darkness, only darkness can bring you everything you want.
Strength, fairness, recognition by all.
Why hope for justice, justice never shows mercy to the weak, and as long as you embrace the darkness, you can hold everything in your hands.
Your Excellency Jiang Wangsheng, people will always grow up, and the price of growing up is always compromised.
But if you don't want to compromise, then only you can give yourself justice! ”
"Jiang Yunliu, are you fucking done?"
"Your Excellency Jiang Wusheng, please don't get me wrong, I'm not persecuting you, but I will always wait for you~~"
Jiang Yunliu's voice returned, and it fell silent at this point, I snorted coldly, but my heart was at a loss.
The manslaughter of the old hunter, the death of Chu Xun, the dojo of Wei Xiao, and the ancient castle of Xu Qiucheng.
Along the way, Shen Li and Fang Jin and I were almost all defeated, either led by the scorpion organization, or forced by Xu Qiucheng's strong pressure and unable to fight back.
And the only time, the only time we succeeded, was when I was in the dojo, Jiang Yunliu cast a method in my body, making me a demon, and then defeating Wei Xiao......
Investigation, evidence, and seeking help from the bureau are not worth the few tens of seconds where I became a demon......
I gritted my teeth, I knew that I couldn't have such thoughts, but these thoughts were realistic, I did defeat Wei Xiao by hatred and killing, and I did fail in my own way of investigating the case......
I took a deep breath, but my whole heart was so crushed that I almost couldn't breathe.
I pressed my chest, trying to press the breath down, but the breath was surging more and more.
I know that it was my unwillingness, that it was my confusion, that it was another me in the darkness, and they were roaring and struggling in my heart, trying to devour me whole.
"Brother, what's wrong with you......"
Lin Li's voice swirled in my ears, but I couldn't hear it at all.
Until a bowl with wooden porridge came into my sight, and the faint fragrance diverted my mind.
I rubbed my eyes, and saw that it was Lin Li who was holding the porridge bowl, and she blinked her eyes and stared straight at me, looking Chinese with a hint of worry.
"Brother, are you too hungry? The porridge is ready, let's eat it quickly. ”
I didn't take the porridge bowl, but stared at Lin Li's eyes as well, staring at the worry in her eyes.
Someone still cares about me...... Someone still hasn't abandoned me......
"What's wrong, brother? Did you get hurt somewhere? ”
Lin Li frowned, I shook my head, picked up the porridge bowl handed by Lin Li, and swallowed it in one go.
Hunger is relieved, and the warmth of rice porridge also dispels fatigue all around.
I adjusted my mind and looked at Lin Li again, only to find that the complexion on Lin Li's cheeks had improved a lot.
"What's wrong with the snake venom?"
"Healed."
"So fast?"
I was a little surprised.
"I have a special constitution...... Oops, anyway, brother, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Lin Li smiled, stood up and spun around in front of me.
I smiled and nodded.
However, just as I nodded, I suddenly heard a sudden sound of footsteps in the dead hall outside the stove house......
I was shocked, and quickly made a silent gesture to Lin Li, extinguished the burning wood in the stove, and blew out the kerosene lamp on the stove.
For a while, the stove house fell into darkness, I picked up a three-finger thick wooden stick, let Lin Li hide behind me, and took her to the door of the stove house in the dark.
I took a deep breath and poked my head out of the stove house, however, just like that, an inexplicable chill suddenly appeared in my heart.
That's right, it's the chill that senses the yin qi!
In the next moment, in the darkness outside the door of the stove house, a sallow human face suddenly poked in, and it happened to be face to face with me!
Grass......
I reflexively took a step back, holding back the horror in my heart, and wanted to smash the stick in my hand in the face.
However, the man's face was as if he did not see me, and after I took a step back, the whole person stepped straight into the stove house, and walked towards the laundry table on the side of the stove house.
Yes, we were clearly face to face, but the person who came in didn't seem to see me......
I couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the person who entered the room, only to see that he was dressed in sackcloth and a straw hat, but he was barefoot...... Wait a minute!
The man was not wearing shoes...... Isn't that the owner of this house?
My heart moved, and the man lifted his bare feet again and rinsed the soles of his feet with the water from the laundry table.
I took a look and realized that the man's bare feet were covered with yellow mud, as if he had returned from farm work under his bare feet.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is how can this person not see me?
If he were blind, he would not have been able to walk in this dark room, and if he had not been blind, how could he have regarded me as nothing?
