Chapter 42: The Shadow Outside the Window
As if sensing someone's presence, the man wielding the axe stopped his movements and stood there silently, motionless like a statue.
From this angle, he could only see the black clothes he was wearing and the cold axe, but nothing else could be seen.
Xu Fengchun cautiously stepped forward, wanting to see who it was, but was stopped by Lin Sanmu.
"Don't move."
In the night, there was only the sound of two people's breathing around, and Xu Fengchun had no choice but to stand in place when he heard this, squinting his eyes, trying to distinguish the appearance of that person.
It was too dark to see anything clearly, but in addition to the reflection of the axe, Xu Fengchun found that there was also some reflection on the person's face, as if something was on the person's face.
What is it?
"Go back." Lin Sanmu interrupted Xu Fengchun's conjecture and said lightly.
He wasn't interested in what was in front of him, he wasn't curious at all.
Xu Fengchun said in a low voice: "Shall we go like this?" ”
"I can't tell if it's a human or a ghost." Lin Sanmu said: "Didn't the mission say that there would be singing when the dead were dead?" If the song doesn't sound, it means that no one is dead. Since no one died, what do you think that person was chopping? ”
He added, "What if he finds out that we have an axe and we have nothing?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in front of him, followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
Xu Fengchun's eyelids jumped, and his scalp became numb.
That person seemed to hear Lin Sanmu's words, and was approaching them step by step. The handle of the axe was so long that it was dragged forward by the man, and the iron tool rubbed against the ground with a loud and harsh sound.
"Run." Lin Sanmu pulled Xu Fengchun's clothes, and when he saw that his footsteps were vague and only moved one step forward, he was stunned in place, and the feet that had already stepped out were retracted, and he said in a deep voice: "Stretch out your hand." ”
Xu Fengchun stretched out his hand with some stiffness, feeling that his whole person was like being in the ice and snow, and every part of his body was stiff and numb.
His feet were like lead, and he couldn't move, let alone run, even if he was taking a step forward.
His hand was clenched in an instant, and Lin Sanmu's hand was cold, like an ice cube without temperature. Xu Fengchun, stimulated by the cold temperature, was full of excitement, and his eyes widened in surprise.
He glanced down at his clenched hand, then at Lin Sanmu, who had a gloomy face, and opened his mouth: "You ......"
Lin Sanmu didn't give him a chance to speak, he clenched his hand and pulled him forward. During the run, Xu Fengchun could only see his back, obviously very slender, but it inexplicably calmed him down.
A small road, he felt as long as a century, and the moment he ran into the room and closed the door, Xu Fengchun could only hear his excessively heavy gasps.
"Thank you, thank you."
He thanked himself with difficulty, poured himself a cup of tea, his fingers trembling several times and almost dropped the cup on the ground, and he shook violently countless times before he drank the cup of tea.
Breathing gradually stabilized, Xu Fengchun exhaled, and noticed that Lin Sanmu was staring at him, smiled slightly embarrassed, stared at his still shaking hand and said, "No, it's not that I'm afraid." I don't know how, it's like, it's like cramping. That is, it's ...... Shaking like this, strange, strange to death. No, don't believe you, you see......"
He put his hand in front of Lin Sanmu and held the palm with his other hand, but despite this, the five fingers were still shaking slightly.
Lin Sanmu suddenly laughed, and said in his tone: "I, just now, hold, your hand that doesn't tremble." Is it because I didn't hold you, that, that hand, that's why it's trembling? Also, when, when, stammered? Talking, talking, can't you talk? ”
Xu Fengchun instantly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, put his hands behind his back, and said, "No, I didn't stutter, you, don't learn, learn from me to speak." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Fengchun was stunned.
He spoke again, and shouted inarticulately, "Three, three, Miki, I, I, I...... Like, just, that's it, stammered. ”
Lin Sanmu looked at him, "You, you, aren't you like this, stammering, yes, stammering like that?" ”
Xu Fengchun: "......"
He patted Lin Sanmu's shoulder fiercely and said vaguely, "Don't, don't make trouble." I mean, yes...... It's like I'm stammering...... I ......"
He pointed to his mouth, his expression was a little hurried, and his hand gestured indiscriminately for a long time, and finally his expression collapsed and said, "That's it, I'm stammering......"
It's over, he seems to be stuttering to the end, and he doesn't know why it's like this all of a sudden, and he can't say a complete sentence clearly.
Xu Fengchun drank five glasses of water in a row, stared at the silent Lin Sanmu and spoke again: "Ginseng, ginseng." ”
Xu Fengchun was stunned, Lin Sanmu was also stunned, and after half a sound, Lin Sanmu burst out laughing, "Sammo? Did you do this mix on purpose or how? Mo, what do you mean? Are you saying it again? ”
Xu Fengchun said angrily: "Don't, don't tease me!" I'm calling you, by name! No, I don't think so. ”
Lin Sanmu nodded solemnly: "I understand." ”
His ridiculous look on his face, where do you understand.
Xu Fengchun's mouth became more and more unfavorable, afraid that he was stupid and saying something, so he closed his mouth and comforted himself in his heart: Maybe he ran too fast and was stimulated, and it would be good after a while, and it would be good after a while.
The voice outside is gone, and no one is chasing after him, just patronizing his stammer, Xu Fengchun is only now reacting, there is still a great danger outside.
He lifted the dirty cloth in front of the window and looked outside, and under the red lantern, everything was normal in the center of the courtyard, and there was nothing.
Xu Fengchun put down the curtain and opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Sanmu suddenly pulled him to his side unusually. Xu Fengchun subconsciously glanced back and saw a figure holding an axe standing outside the window.
It's hard to imagine that if it weren't for Lin Sanmu's quick hand, the people outside would have noticed that he was at the window, and they might have chopped it down directly with an axe.
There was nothing in the window, just a boxy hole, covered with cloth, and when the axe came down, it would become in half.
Xu Fengchun stared at the figure, feeling death passing by again, only this time, he was no longer so frightened, and all he thought about was Lin Sanmu's reaction speed just now.
He can help him remove the danger at the first moment he sees it, and such a person has a reaction speed that is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.
Lin Miki...... It's not simple.

In fact, I'm a funny article, with a serious face, and I feel like I'm getting more and more sassy.

You guys are so terrible, and I'm going to be terrible too! Is it because what I wrote is so terrible that you don't vote or leave a message? I'm snapping, there's nothing that can't be solved, if it doesn't work, just snap popping.
Ridiculous

I found that more and more people have been saying how to change it recently, and the author is slow to update. Now reply uniformly, I ...... It's a handicap, and I can write it in a circle from the Martian wave when I'm sitting there preparing for the codeword, so I think it's a bit of a ...... for me to add more to this kind of thing. Faraway.
