Chapter 22: The Wind Rises
It's not that Lin Yu doesn't understand this truth, but they are anxious to know how big the cake they can get, otherwise this matter is like a boulder hanging in their hearts, thinking about it all the time.
"What do you mean? Is the talk falling apart now? Corrie was confused before she could figure out the situation.
Lin Yu spread his hands: "Obviously." ”
Ke Li also wanted to ask why she didn't talk about it, but she suddenly felt her arm being pulled by her husband, and she didn't know what she meant: "What's wrong?"
"Ahem... It was strangely cold in the lobby, so we went to find a room to rest. Feng Hou's small movements were broken by Ke Li, and his face was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Ke Li saw that her husband had been giving her eyes and gradually reacted, and hurriedly replied, "Oh... Oh good. ”
She knew that her husband must have something to say to herself, but she didn't want others to hear it, so she found an excuse to leave.
As Zhang Zhengguo's father and daughter, Feng Hou and his wife left one after another, only Lin Yu and Chu Xiaohe were left in the lobby.
Chu Xiaohe glanced at Lin Yu, who was sitting on the ground with his head down, and then looked at the blackened Yang Fangling card on the ground and the shrine hanging on the wall, and suddenly felt that the cold wind that penetrated into the room was a little eerie.
"I... I'm going to stay with my uncle. ”
After leaving this sentence, he immediately ran up the stairs.
Lin Yu still lowered his head and didn't react to this, and even the firelight couldn't shine on his demeanor. All the while holding a small wooden stick and pulling it back and forth on the floor.
First draw a sixth, then a quarter, and then wipe both from the floor.
After thinking about it for a long time,
He eventually wrote a new Arabic numeral on the ground.
When I wrote it very hard, the small wooden stick collapsed and bent in a large arc until it snapped and broke.
“1”
......
...
"Who?"
Since the hidden murderer had not yet been found, Ning Qing did not dare to sleep too deeply to avoid a dangerous situation, and the sound of footsteps wandering outside the door made him alert, and his closed eyes suddenly opened in the dark.
"Big... Uncle, it's me..."
"Chu Xiaohe? What are you doing at my door? ”
"There's almost no one in the lobby, can I... Go in? ”
"Can't!"
"Woo... It's scary out there. ”
Ning Qing: ...
Even though he had heard Chu Xiaohe's voice outside the door, he never relaxed his vigilance, and simply said perfunctorily: "Lonely men and widows are in the same room... Inconvenience. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice if you thought of me as a boy... Open the door and let me in..."
"Not good."
"You won't let me in, I... I... I'll just sit at your door and won't leave, huh! ”
Ning Qing: ...
Forget it, you can stay at the door if you like it, I don't care.
Ning Qing slowly closed her eyes with this thought, and decided not to pay attention to Chu Xiaohe outside the door.
Chu Xiaohe also understood that he couldn't wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep, so he didn't make any more trouble, so he had to sit against the door panel of Ning Qing's room, but he suddenly heard a sparse footstep from the staircase.
In fear, he knocked on Ning Qing's door again and again.
The footsteps in the hallway were getting closer, but the door showed no sign of opening.
A thigh popped out of the corner of the stairs.
Chu Xiaohe's heart rose to his throat.
Then a vague humanoid silhouette appears.
"You almost didn't scare me to death, why did you get up?" Chu Xiaohe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after seeing the identity of the figure clearly, and patted his little chest quite fearfully.
Lin Yu said strangely: "If it's not me, who else can it be, what?" Your uncle didn't let you in? ”
"What's your business, huh!" Chu Xiaohe wrinkled her little nose, very cute.
Lin Yu didn't say much, and after teasing, he picked a vacant room on the second floor and went in.
......
...
It was late at night, and no one noticed how long the time had passed.
The rain outside the house was still so heavy, and the wind had been hovering over the desert island and refused to leave.
This time the typhoon is not only bigger than in previous years, but also longer-lasting.
Compared to the collapse and collapse outside the house, the inside of the house seems to be somewhat peaceful and peaceful.
Chu Xiaohe woke up from his sleep and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
She... I'm in a hurry and want to go to the toilet.
It's just that...
Listening to the lightning exploding outside the house and the whirring wind in her ears, she hesitated and did not dare to go to the hut by herself.
He stared at the wooden door with a puff, his little fists clenched tightly.
To knock or not to knock?
This is a problem.
Knock on it!
"Uncle, uncle, are you asleep?"
Ning Qing in the house listened to the banging knock on the door and felt a pain in her head, what kind of demon was making trouble in the middle of the night, "What are you doing!! ”
"I want to go to the toilet..."After Chu Xiaohe said this, his face was red to the root of his ears.
Ning Qing: "Oh. ”
Long...
"And then?" Chu Xiaohe was crazy, how could the uncle be like this.
"What? Don't you have long legs? ”
"I don't dare to go myself," she felt like she was about to cry.
"Oh, then hold on." Ning Qing's faint voice sounded in the room again.
"Okay."
...
After more than ten minutes, Chu Xiaohe couldn't help it, so he had to bite his lip tightly and touch the first floor.
He tiptoed like a thief when he walked, for fear that he would make a noise and attract something terrifying.
The fire in the lobby had not yet been extinguished, and the red charcoal mixed with the white ashes glowed brightly.
The thatched house at the end of the corridor was close in front of him, and Chu Xiaohe even took a much larger step.
As he approached the hut, he suddenly heard a muffled voice from the next room.
It was the room where Zhang Jiaming was held.
But isn't there only Zhang Jiaming in this room, how can you hear the voices of two people, and one of them is a female voice?
The more she thought about these messy things, the more curiosity in her heart grew, and even overpowered her fear.
The closer you get to the room, the clearer the voices in the room become.
Carefully pressed his eyes into the gap in the wooden door, but the room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Husband, really... Are you going to kill him? ”
"If he doesn't die, what if he confesses about the antiques after he enters the federal police station?"
"That's... Let's kill him, but what will happen later, the people in the house will definitely find him dead when they wake up..."The female voice.
"It's okay, they won't know." Male.
"Yes, how could a dead man know." Girl.
"As long as we kill them all, we won't have to worry about how to divide the money." Male.
"Husband, are you so bad...... People like it so much, haha..."
Poof-
It was the characteristic sound of a sharp knife sinking into the flesh, accompanied by a heavy muffled grunt, like someone covering their mouth with the palm of their hand.
Chu Xiaohe didn't dare to listen to it anymore when he heard this, he covered his mouth with his hands, and his body trembled and retreated.
"Ah~~~"
Not caring if he would be discovered by the people in the house, a huge scream with horror broke out of his throat and echoed in the empty house.
He immediately ran for his life towards the staircase.
