Chapter 82: Midnight Terror
Winter nights are especially cold in the wild.
The wind around me was pitch black, and the wind blowing through my ears was a bit like a ghost crying wolf.
Lin Yue tightened the hat of his down jacket, turned on his flashlight, and walked to the guava tree with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
There are no snakes at this time, and the backyard of the B&B is fenced with barbed wire, so there should be no dangerous animals. She was thinking about it when a cat barked and slipped away from under her feet.
There are five or six guava trees here, which are wild, and in the summer she and Lin Zhencai pruned the branches, and now the branches of the guava trees are luxuriant, trembling slightly in the night wind.
The grass under the trees is lush, and cats often play in the grass.
Lin Yue held a flashlight in his left hand and reached the leaves and shoots of the guava tree with his right hand.
The leaves and buds of the guava tree that have just grown can stop diarrhea when chewed and eaten, or boiled in water to drink. This is a folk remedy that works very well.
She quickly picked it up.
A handful is enough, although the taste is a little sour, but Zhu Rui is an adult, so he shouldn't resist this taste like a child.
Lin Yue carefully put the young shoots into a clean bag, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard someone deliberately pinching his throat and shouting: "Lin Yue." ”
Although she was bold, in the field in the middle of the night, when she heard this sound suddenly, she still felt a little cold.
She quickly shone the flashlight at that place and shouted, "Who? "Where the flashlight beams shine, weeds grow very tall. Outside the barbed wire fence is neglected and overgrown with weeds.
The man grinned and called out again, "Lin Yue." ”
Lin Yue determined that the person should be a man. Even though he pinched his throat, the man's voice was still distinct.
She held the flashlight tightly and snorted: "Pretend to be a ghost, cowardly as a mouse." ”
The man was not annoyed, but continued to laugh.
There is a barbed wire fence, and Lin Yue is not afraid of him rushing over. She turned her head and was about to leave, when she heard the sound of rustling behind her, the sound of the man trampling on the weeds.
There seems to be the sound of sharp objects scraping through the barbed wire.
Lin Yue held the flashlight tightly, his eyes full of vigilance. If the man dared to break in, she would call the police.
She didn't warn the man, she wanted to solve the problem at once. Who would have thought that on a dark and windy night, there would be someone lurking here pretending to be a ghost? Maybe this man has been around for a long time.
Is it a repeat offender who has committed a lot of crimes, or a novice who wants to hit the lottery?
Either way, you have to clean it up.
Just as she was tense and vigilantly looking at the swaying weeds outside the barbed wire, a familiar voice sounded: "Lin Yue! ”
It's Qi Xing!
Lin Yue suddenly calmed down and responded, his eyes still looking closely at the approximate location of the person who was pretending to be a ghost.
Qi Xing strode over: "Lin Zhen said that you came to collect medicine, have you done it?" It's so late, how did you come out on your own? It's too dangerous. ”
As he spoke, he was already in front of her, panting slightly, his voice anxious.
The weeds that swayed outside the barbed wire returned to their quiet appearance.
Lin Yue turned around and looked at Qi Xing: "Why are you here?" ”
"I saw you upstairs, and after walking so far, I was a little worried, so I rushed here. By the way, you just kept looking outside, did something happen? ”
The man either ran away or was so frightened that he hid in the weeds and did not dare to move.
"Nothing, just an ownerless mad dog." Lin Yue said.
"Then you have to be careful, the wild dogs out there are not vaccinated." Qi Xing looked at the weeds outside the barbed wire, "Outside, no one cares about it?" ”
"No, I don't. Let's go. Mr. Zhu is still waiting. Lin Yue said, taking a few steps first.
Qi Xing followed her closely.
When the two of them walked away, the person hiding in the weeds suddenly "Wang".
Lin Yue, you say I'm a mad dog, then let you taste the power of a mad dog.
Lin Yue and Qi Xing walked very fast, and in an instant, they passed the vegetable field, and they were about to walk to the back door.
"I hear you." Qi Xing suddenly said, "That person is calling your name." It was because he heard a strange sound that he threw off his long legs and walked quickly to Lin Yue's side.
Lin Yue was stunned and smiled: "Xu is a familiar person who is playing a prank." ”
"Where is this a prank, it is simply fatal." Qi Xing was undoubted, "Lin Yue, we are friends, you don't have to carry such a thing." We've all eaten snail noodles together, and you still treat me as an outsider. "Well, Lin Yue is still the only girl who has seen his upper body LT. This must be a very close distance. Qi Xing thought quietly.
Lin Yue was almost amused by him: "I just don't want you to worry." "Especially if you don't have a strict mouth, tell your father about it, and it is estimated that your father will not be able to sleep and get up late to patrol the night.
"Let's keep his dog's life for the time being, and when we come back tomorrow after digging winter bamboo shoots, we will discuss how to catch him together."
Qi Xing said very seriously and eagerly.
Lin Yue's heart was suddenly filled with warmth. For her, Qi Xing was just the person who met in Pingshui, he left Linyue Town after more than two months, and it was very likely that they would never see each other again in this life. But it is such a person, put yourself in her shoes, and it is impossible to say that she is not moved. She suddenly remembered that many years ago, when she was alone, almost no one could understand her situation. If there is such a person, maybe her character will not become like this, and she will keep a little distance from everyone.
"Thank you, Qi Xing." Lin Yue said sincerely.
"You're welcome." Qi Xing said, "We are friends. Look at Zhu Rui, when have you been polite to me? ”
Qi Xing and Zhu Rui are more like a pair of bad friends.
"Just eat this? It won't be poisoned, right? Zhu Rui pinched the buds of the guava tree, his face pale.
"Do you want to eat?" Qi Xing clasped his arms and stood at the door handsomely, "This is what Shopkeeper Lin worked hard to pick for you, do you dare to eat it?" ”
Obviously, he could persuade him, but he had to threaten.
Forget it, your life is in the hands of others, and you can't eat it. Besides, the shopkeeper Lin picked it, and it was not picked by Qi Xing, a person who does not distinguish between grains, so it should not be poisonous.
Zhu Rui gritted his teeth, put the sprouts into his mouth, and chewed them carefully. It's a little astringent, some weird taste, but it's acceptable.
Qi Xing kept looking at him, Zhu Rui didn't dare to stop, and even ate a few buds before Qi Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy." Go to bed early, I'll get up early tomorrow to dig bamboo shoots. As he spoke, he looked at his watch, "It's midnight, and I only have six hours of beauty sleep." ”
He believes in Lin Yue like that? Abandoned him like that? Zhu Rui opened his mouth and watched Qi Xing close the door.
The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends!
But, hey, his stomach really doesn't have as much colic as before. He also had to get some beauty sleep so that he could greet his little one with a radiant face tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and at half past five in the morning, before the set alarm clock rang, Lin Yue smelled the fragrance of food.
Zhou Zhe so early?
Lin Yue hurriedly finished washing up and rushed to the kitchen to see that Zhou Zhe was already cutting the side dishes of fried rice noodles.
Seeing her, Zhou Zhe smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth: "Morning, Lin Yue." ”
I don't know if it's Lin Yue's illusion, when Zhou Zhe called her name, Lin bit very lightly, and Yue bit very hard. She suddenly remembered the message Zhou Zhe sent her last night, an intimate and sensational literary fan.
