11. Hunting
Yang Xiaoqi said this to me with some excitement, and I also felt inexplicable stimulation in my heart.
Seriously, I still trust Yang Xiaoqi's ability, and I don't think there should be any danger with him.
I found the gas mask I brought with me on this trip, which Yang Xiaoqi had prepared, saying that I was afraid that there would be miasma in the forest. I didn't expect to use it here.
We put on gas masks and then lit the candles that the old man had sold. The two people hid in the quilt and covered their heads with a quilt to prevent people outside from seeing the gas masks on their faces.
I was so nervous that I felt like I had stolen an apple as a child and happened to meet the owner of the orchard. With a nervous mood, he pretended to be casual.
The candlelight illuminated a corner of the room, and it was dim. I hid under the covers and peeked in the direction of the door. It hurts a lot to be strangled by a gas mask on my face, and I feel a little uncomfortable. The candle made a strange crackling sound, so light that it would not have been noticeable if it weren't for the silence in the room.
We didn't move in the bed, and it was very uncomfortable.
As the minutes ticked by, I became a little impatient.
"Will he come?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi softly.
He told me not to speak and to listen carefully to the noise outside.
I listened to the sounds of the outhouse by myself, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was truly a dead silence. I'm turning my attention back to the yard, and the same. The silence was terrifying, and all that was left of the world was the sound of our heartbeats and gasps except for the sound of the candles burning.
Suddenly, I realized something was wrong.
The ondol in this room is against the window, which is common in rural areas. And Yang Xiaoqi and I put all our attention on the position of the door. The courtyard outside the window was neglected.
At this time, I had a vague feeling that there was a person hiding outside the window behind me. I couldn't see him, I couldn't hear his breathing. But you can feel it. This is the sixth sense of humanity.
I didn't dare to speak, I didn't dare to move my body, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Yang Xiaoqi seems to be aware of this, but after all, he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Blindfolded, he turned over silently. I knew he was going to look at the window.
Sure enough, Yang Xiaoqi quietly pushed me in the bed. I shuddered in my heart, and there was someone behind me.
But.
I'm sure this person must have appeared after Yang Xiaoqi and I were lying down, because we had looked out the window before that, and there was absolutely no one at that time.
Who will be outside the window?
The crazy son in the old man's mouth?
At this time, I feel that Yang Xiaoqi's idea is really smoking. Shit, we've become more passive this time.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the window.
Da! Da! Da!
It's light, it's the kind that comes out when you hit the glass with your fingernails.
I shuddered. Heart Dao, it's time to start singing.
Sure enough, about five minutes later, Yang Xiaoqi turned around abruptly and said to me, "Here, get ready." ”。
I was taken aback by him and didn't know what to prepare. I just clenched the electric baton that Yang Xiaoqi handed me just now.
Soon, there was movement outside.
Footsteps.
The sound of a person's footsteps.
I could hear that the other party didn't deliberately hide it, but approached our door as if he was walking normally.
Stop!
Da! Da! Da!
There was a knock on the door, still soft.
I tucked the quilt again to hide my gas mask a little tighter.
Squeak!
The door opened, and a man walked in.
I looked out through the gap in the quilt and could only see a person's feet. It was an old pair of green sneakers, the same shoes that the old man was wearing.
Because of the angle, I could only see the man's calf a little down.
The owner of the sneakers walked slowly over to the table.
Burst. There was a sound, and the man actually blew out the candle first.
My heart tightened, and then I understood.
Yang Xiaoqi guessed correctly, there was really something wrong with the candle.
The only light in the room was blown out, and for a moment my eyes did not adjust to the darkness, and it was dark everywhere. Nothing can be seen.
After about five or six seconds, it felt a little better.
The moonlight outside shone through the window into the house. In the moonlight, a man stood on the edge of our kang, and I could only see the legs and feet of that person. I was terrified to the extreme, and I didn't know what was going to happen next.
Yang Xiaoqi is really this kid, and he won't give a signal now. Is it impossible to die?
I secretly aimed the electric baton at the man's leg, and as soon as something happened, I was ready to poke it out, and it should be too late.
There was still a deathly silence in the ambiguous moonlight, and the people who came stood quietly beside us, not moving, and without any sound.
The strangest thing is that I didn't even hear the other person's gasp.
The silence in the darkness continued to torment me. Yang Xiaoqi remained silent. I felt like something was wrong. It seems that our situation is not as proactive as Yang Xiaoqi said.
And I didn't want to, and I didn't dare to break such a confrontation at this time. Because I don't really know what's going to happen next.
Soon, the man made another move. He slowly crouched down. It's slow, it's slow. Finally, the outline of a man's head appeared in my sight.
In the darkness, I saw only a pair of eyes staring at me through the cracks in the quilt. Straight people have a chill in their backs.
However, reason told me that the other party would never see me in the bed, let alone see that I was with my eyes open. For I was in a bed, and it was darker inside than the place outside where he was. A man looks into the darkness in the light and sees nothing. It's common sense.
However, under the influence of my heart, I still feel that the other party can see me.
The other party's eyes were staring motionless, as if they were waiting for something.
Suddenly, he spoke, and it was the old man's voice.
I only heard him whisper like a dream: "You should have enough food for my son for a month."
Brush!
My hair stood on end as he said this, and I looked at him even more in horror, and the direction of the electric baton was aimed at his head.
That's enough to eat for a month......
He repeated the phrase over and over again, and finally it gradually turned into a low sneer.
I felt like I had to do something, or even if this person didn't do anything, it would drive me crazy.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaoqi moved.
He jerked off the quilt and placed it on the man's head impartially.
Then he flew up and pounced, and first beat the people inside through the quilt.
The other party exclaimed, I know we won, that old man can't be Yang Xiaoqi's opponent.
Sure enough, when the quilt was lifted, the old man had been beaten by Yang Xiaoqi and was not stunned at all. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was able to get rid of the terrifying atmosphere just now.
Yang Xiaoqi tied the old man to the chair with a rope, and then took out the miner's lamp to illuminate it.
He sat down at the table and stared coldly at the old man, without saying a word.
At this time, I found that Yang Xiaoqi's body exuded an aura, very aggressive and confident.
The old man looked at Yang Xiaoqi, then at me, and said with a cold smile: "I didn't expect you guys to be really difficult to deal with." ”。
Yang Xiaoqi still didn't speak, and I learned to pretend to be cool with him.
The old man looked at us again and said with a smile, "You'd better let me go, or you'll all die when my son comes out." ”。
