Chapter 68: New Goals
The path was dark, and a man and a woman stood not far from me, and they stopped there, looking at the end.
The person at the end was dressed in clothes similar to those of a shroud, and his white furry hair fell on his waist, which was blown up by the wind little by little, and his two hands exposed to the outside of the clothes had slender hairs. The man and woman couldn't see clearly, but I could see it from this angle.
The man looked at it for a while, perhaps not finding anything abnormal, and said to the woman: "It's just a mop, how can a living person stand there motionless in the middle of the night?" ”
The woman subconsciously cowered behind the man, and said glutinously: "Husband, could it be that it is not a human being, an unclean thing?" ”
"What nonsense? Where are the ghosts in the world? It's all about scaring yourself, if you don't believe it, I'll show you what it is now. ”
The man looks like he is five big and three thick, with fat shoulders and a round waist, and he is dressed like a human, but in terms of conversation and temperament, he is probably not a rich second generation, it is estimated that he is about the same as me, just a nouveau riche, or a side branch of a rich family.
The woman was not so bold, so she pulled him and said, "Let's go back, it's scary." ”
"Go back like this, and you'll have to blame me all night. What's there to be afraid of, that thing can't be a monster, and it can eat me? ”
As the man spoke, he walked to the end, scolding and swearing, "Women are trouble." ”
I watched from behind the curtain and didn't warn to avoid getting into trouble.
The path wasn't long in all, and the man was soon at the end, only one step away from the white-haired cat-faced monster. He got closer, as if sensing something was wrong, but he reached out to touch its shoulder, but before he could touch it, the thing suddenly turned around, smiled hideously, and his hairy hand grabbed his neck.
I chuckled in my heart.
The man's face immediately distorted, and it seemed that he couldn't breathe, and he struggled desperately, stamped his feet desperately, and screamed hoarsely in the direction of the woman, probably hoping that she would save him.
And the woman, who had been so frightened that she had no master, staggered back two steps, shouting for help, but she didn't mean to save the man.
She ran back.
The thing didn't seem to be going to chase her, and watched her run away with a stiff and mysterious smile, watching her keep banging on other people's windows, but still didn't chase her.
The man's pupils gradually dilated, and a steady stream of blood suddenly appeared in his nostrils.
The thing smiled "smiling", and the corners of its mouth seemed to be too flamboyant and torn.
It slowly let go of its hand and lay on the man's back, and the man's body became straight and straight, like a piece of wood.
Its hairy face turned slightly sideways, and its gaze fell on this side, not knowing what it was looking at, and its face became more and more smiling. I didn't even have the illusion that it had seen me.
Before Xu Yi was here, it might not dare to touch me, but now I am alone, and I am simply a fish under the blade, slaughtered by others.
I felt scared, so I quickly closed the little gap in the curtain.
The rattle outside the door also stopped.
Footsteps began to sound outside the window, step by step, from the end of the hallway, slowly and heavily.
My heart is in my throat.
Without the support of floor-to-ceiling windows, the curtains are gently blown by the wind, always seeming to let in the scenery outside the window.
When the footsteps were estimated to be at the door, the curtain was blown up by the wind again.
I saw the man standing stiffly outside the door, the thing lying on his back, a hairy face facing me, the hair on his face being pulled, and the teeth of the mouth that could not be seen were smiling at me.
I was scared it would break in out of nowhere.
The bracelet had been in my palm, and I hadn't put it on, so I could still see the dirt.
Until the wind stopped, the curtain fell again, obscuring everything outside the window.
Outside the window, the sound of "tuk-tuk" pacing sounded on the floor again.
It wasn't until the footsteps were far away that I dared to carefully lift the corner of the curtain and poke out half of my head to look.
The man's stiff body dragged on the floor, almost the same as Lin Lin's previous state, the white-haired thing didn't know when to sit on his shoulder, and a long hair swept back and forth on his shoulder.
The neckline of the man's clothes was huge, as if it had been torn by something. I saw two black handprints on his exposed back.
It's about the same as the one on my back.
"What are you looking at?" There was a voice behind him.
I was taken aback, immediately lowered the curtains, turned around, and saw Xu Yijin standing behind me.
I was a little relieved to see that it was him.
"Where did you just go?" I was a little disgusted, and I didn't even notice the change.
Xu Yijin glanced thoughtfully at the shaking curtain, smiled and picked me up from the debris all over the ground, lowered his eyes to look at the thin soles of my shoes, and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”
Although he was asking me, he didn't stop moving, and took off the flat shoes on my feet for me, the soles of which were a little ugly tossed by glass shards, but my feet were fine.
He checked around, got me a spare pair of shoes from the room, put them on for me, and said, "I just went to see my father-in-law, he is fine, you don't have to worry." ”
If he hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten about my dad.
"He's fine." As I spoke, I brought up the scene I had just seen: "The thing that is pestering Lin Lin seems to have found a new target." Will Lin Lin still live? ”
I didn't ask this for Lin Lin, but for myself.
"In order to keep Lin Lin alive, the Lin family will do everything to damage Yin morality, even if Lin Lin can survive, the end will not be too good." Xu Yijin said: "You are different from him. ”
"Then Lin Lin's matter is settled, tomorrow the Lin family should let us go, right?" I don't really want to stay in this place.
Xu Yijin nodded, then looked down at the watch on his wrist, it was already early in the morning, and he asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”
I shook my head.
"Let's go fix your troubles." He gently broke my palm, took out the chain, put it on my hand, and said, "Some things are too bloody, and it's not good for the baby in the belly to see too much, and it's not good for you, so don't take it off easily." ”
I resigned myself to nodding yes.
Xu Yijin opened the door, the corridor was dark, the street lights were not on, and there was no light.
He took me by the hand and led me outside.
The Lin family locked up the entire banquet hall and did not send anyone to guard it, but there were a few Taoist priests swaying nearby, and they didn't know what they were doing.
