Chapter 705: Listening to the Night
When it all seemed to go back to darkness, there was silence all around.
The whole hotel seemed to fall silent, because the lights were out, so it was even more obvious that it was cold in the early autumn.
Although there are occasional dogs barking in the distance, it is not uncommon for chickens to bark in the streets and alleys of this county. Because of the complexity of the streets and alleys, as well as the large number of residents, it is inevitable that there will be many more family chickens and dogs.
At this time, I don't know whose dog ran out, it seems that because of barking, it induces some wild dogs to chirp, so in this night, there are some ups and downs. Even wild cats that come out of nowhere, will meow and express their dissatisfaction, as if they appear in groups in the streets and alleys.
Even if there is some noise outside, it doesn't seem to disturb the peace and silence here.
The deep streets and alleys, the quiet eaves of the houses, and the closed doors of the deep houses make this place more and more comfortable.
Maybe the villages and towns at this time, even the ancient streets of this small county, still maintain most of the simplicity, so there is still a bit of nostalgia in this era. Of course, because the times are changing, and even the government is supporting the change, the small county has also absorbed the freshness of the outside and gradually showed a different feeling.
To ordinary people, everything seems to be the same as the quiet night of the past, but no one knows that under this tranquility, there is some different commotion. Because the small county town under the moonlight is peaceful, it lurks there like a fierce beast, as if it will get up and attack at any time.
And in this hotel, I don't know if it was in that room, there was a clear snoring sound, but it was exceptionally clear in this silent night. If someone can't sleep, if they hear this burst of snoring, they will inevitably toss and turn and can't sleep.
There are also frogs chirping outside on autumn nights, but compared to the barking dogs and cats one after another, it also makes people feel extra calm.
It seemed that everything became so comfortable on this night. Some may not be destined to sleep, but at least in this little hotel, everyone seems to have slept peacefully.
Long Fengzhi was still sitting on the wooden bench, breathing quietly like a sleeping person. I was already asleep in the room, and my slight snoring was somewhat even. I don't know if my nerves are too tense these days, but at this moment, I can be regarded as truly relaxed.
It was as if there was a hint of silence in the room, and it seemed to be alive because of the sound of breathing. Long Fengzhi sat like that, as if he was also asleep sitting on a chair. However, the sound of his breathing was not as obvious as mine, and it was only when I listened quietly that I realized that it was more long and indifferent.
If anyone could see it in the room, they would see him sitting there, breathing very evenly. Between the quiet ups and downs of the chest and abdomen, it seems to have a burst of natural rhythm.
It's a wonderful feeling, and it seems really amazing. If you can't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe that it will all be real.
Long Fengzhi never opened his eyes, looking at him as a person who was completely asleep. But if you can see it clearly, you must see that at this time, one of his ears is still moving freely and occasionally.
The astonishing gesture was as if the ears were being invisibly touched. Of course, this is not true, but the pair of ears can listen to themselves, as sharp as a pair of eyes.
And he did listen with his ears all the time, and although his eyes were closed, he never fell asleep. That kind of calm sitting demeanor, if anyone knows that he is just closing his eyes, and there is always a trace of clarity in his heart, I am afraid that he will be even more surprised.
Because he listened to the movements around him with his ears, he breathed freely, quietly practicing his ancestral mental method of the Long family, and the whole person actually entered an illusory state of forgetting the things and self of the whole person, but I was afraid that everyone would not be able to believe it.
He has been practicing this kind of mental method for decades, and he is naturally as proficient as an arm and finger. So even if he enters this state that ordinary people can't understand, in fact, his heart is clearer than any ordinary person.
He didn't sleep because he was waiting!
What is he waiting for?
No one knew what was in his heart, and certainly no one knew what he had heard at this time!
However, as time passed, when all the movements outside became smaller, and all the subtle movements became clearer in this silence, Long Fengzhi's eyelids suddenly fluttered.
For just as he had been sitting and breathing, but his mind was listening with his instinctive senses, suddenly at this time he clearly heard a different sound in his ears.
It wasn't the kind of unpleasant voice, it was the one he had been waiting for.
It was a faint, even intervaled footstep sound. After some waiting and listening, it finally came clearly in my ears.
It may be difficult for others to understand what a character like Long Fengzhi relies on to distinguish those noisy sounds. But now it is clear that everyone's footsteps sound completely different. As a master of cultivating internal family skills, Long Fengzhi's hearing acuity is completely unknown to how many times surpasses ordinary people!
Of course, many of these details cannot be listed one by one. But including everyone's breathing and some exercise habits, that can be distinguished. But on a quiet night like this, the best way to distinguish a person is by the sound of footsteps.
He had been waiting, waiting for this footstep to appear!
And at this time, this footstep finally appeared!
When he felt the uniqueness of this footstep, and even when a person appeared clearly, Long Fengzhi's face was obviously slightly moved. Because this person goes from making a slight movement to acting cautiously, others can't notice it at all.
But in Long Fengzhi's ears, it was so clear and audible, and there was even a bit of thunderous step by step, this familiar feeling and expectation actually made Long Fengzhi's body tremble slightly.
Slowly opened his eyes, although he still didn't mean to move, Long Fengzhi was already sure that the footsteps came directly out of the door opposite.
There seemed to be a burst of light in his eyes, but Long Fengzhi still didn't move. Because while listening to this voice, Long Fengzhi still maintained his posture, but he did not let go of the slightest movement.
