Chapter 52: Hitchhiking
Ina walked briskly, all the way out of the manor, amid the greetings of the servants. Although these servants felt that their little master was a little different from before, they did not pay much attention to it. At their level, they are not qualified to ask.
Out of the manor, Ina walked along the road leading to the city, as if hoping to find a taxi. But in fact, in such a place far from the city, it would be hellish to be able to come across a taxi.
Walking briskly, Ina had an annoyed look on her face, not knowing whether she was annoyed that she hadn't gotten the predetermined result, or that the so-called "she" hadn't prepared a retreat route for herself.
In summer, the trees are very luxuriant, and the roadside is covered with large woods, which decorate the asphalt road.
The sound of cicadas was crisp and long, echoing in Ina's ears through the cracks in the forest. But she was not in the mood to appreciate this song that contained a different kind of artistic beauty, and glanced behind her from time to time along the way, afraid that someone would chase her.
She could feel her stamina running away like a funnel, a sign that the effects of the stamina-boosting medicine she had given were about to wear off. Ina had never heard of this medicine before, and she could make people burst out of strength and reflexes far beyond the limits of the human body in a short period of time. But at the same time, the sequelae of this drug are also obvious, that is, detachment! numbness of muscles for a period of time. But she didn't want the medicine to go so quickly, because she wasn't sure that she was out of the family's rule, and she was afraid of being caught! But she didn't regret taking this special medicine, because it gave her a chance to relieve her hatredββ even if she was likely to be used as a pawn.
Her heart is in turmoil right now, since she first met her sister. For her sister Shirley, she has some complicated feelings. She has never hurt herself, on the contrary, it is not her parents who have loved her the most since she was a child, but her sister! She also knows that Shirley probably concealed it because she didn't want her to be distressed, so in fact, Ina didn't hate her as much as she did when she spoke before. But she doesn't regret what she did, just like her brother, it's a big deal to leave here and never come back......! Does my sister get sad......
Ina shook her head violently, trying to clear her chaotic thoughts, but she didn't succeed, but became even more confused.
She just wants to get out of here now, and think about it later, anyway, the so-called home can't go back.
An ordinary family car swayed and crawled slowly on the road, looking very difficult, as if it would fall apart in the next second.
Ina's eyes lit up when she saw the car. She had never been so excited to see a car as she was now, not even the piles of brand-name cars in the manor's garage.
Ask for a ride, it should be fine, right?
Ina thought, her hand already stretched out and stopped in front of the car.
The car came to a clatter and struggled to stop, and Ina frowned at the sound.
After the old black car stopped, a mediocre-looking woman poked her head out of the window, glanced at Ina curiously, then opened the door and stepped out with the driver and another man in the car.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" the woman was very friendly, not only took the initiative to get out of the car, but also politely asked Ina about it.
"Well, can I take your car to the city......? I can give money!"
Looking at Ina's expectant and nervous face, the woman in the cheap stall clothes smiled, "There's no need, we're also planning to go to the city, it's all on the way, it's okay." What do you say, my dear?" the woman looked at the emaciated man beside her.
"What can I say. The man shrugged his shoulders clearly and deliberately, "Your words are the absolute truth, and I will obey them." β
"Hmph, the mouth is so poor. The woman glanced at the man, but her face was full of happiness.
"Thank you, thank you!" Ina thanked them with her hands folded gratefully.
The man stepped forward and opened the rear door for Ina and said, "Lovely girl, your voice sounds familiar to me, when I went to the suburbs with Hima a few days ago, I happened to encounter a light rain - it was very misty, like a fairyland, and I still remember it vividly." I heard some voices ahead, but when I got closer, I didn't notice anything. And your voice is very similar to hers, like the same person. β
Ina didn't understand, thinking that he was just looking for a random topic, "There are many people in this world, and there are many similar people at the same time, maybe you meet a person who has a very similar voice to mine, this is really a very interesting coincidence." β
"yes, I think so too. The man turned and glanced at Ina, his eyes quickly moving away from Ina's eyes.
At that moment, Ina had a feeling that he seemed to be hiding something, but her head was starting to get a little dizzy now, and she didn't continue to think deeply.
Ina stepped into the back seat of the car with one foot, "Thank you so much this time, you are such a kind couple." Well, I'll be able to get to the city, so I won't have to bother you then. β
"It's not troublesome, it's really not troublesome. The woman smiled, but she didn't have the intimacy she had before, and a trace of disdain appeared at the corner of the woman's mouth.
This contemptuous gaze made Ina's heart tighten, but before she could react, a sharp dagger poked out of the cuff of the man beside her.
Ina widened her eyes in horror and tried to get out of the way, but she found that the muscles in her body seemed to be no longer her own, and the flickering light and darkness in front of her made her want to sleep beautifully - this damn side effect! Ina wanted to scold because this miraculous medicine had fallen off its chain at a critical moment. But I don't have a grudge against them, do they? Why did they kill me? Did they think I didn't give them the fare? But his wife said before that she wouldn't take money. Besides, if you want it, just say it, don't I still give it to them?
But in reality, it would not give her a chance to continue thinking wildly, and the dagger instantly moved to the major artery in her neck, and Ina couldn't help but close her eyes hopelessly.
The cold blade of the dagger pressed against her skin, and Ina could clearly feel the pain of a small cut in her skin. At that moment, she even believed that she would die, and the process was indeed heading towards this outcome.
Am I going to die?, Ina thought hopelessly. She knew that she was about to face the pain of having her throat slit, that she would die of bleeding, and that she would even witness the whole process! But she waited so long that she had rehearsed in her mind the whole process of bleeding to death, but the last moment had not come, and it would have been as if it hadn't happened had it not been for the stabbing pain of the knife in her slender neck.
Ina couldn't help but open her eyes in confusion, and after searching her field of vision, she found that the thin man who could easily kill her just now was lying on the ground like a dead dog. She was fine, but there was a pool of blood from his throat, apparently not long after he died.
The woman, who was originally with the dead man, looked vigilantly at the person next to Ina, and subconsciously retreated.
At this time, Ina also spotted him, and she looked at him in disbelief, this young man who was an opponent not long ago - Ai Yan!
"Y-you......" Ina wanted to say something, but she was about to speak, but she didn't know what to say.
Ai Yan stroked the Xuan Blade in her hand, and let the last drop of blood drip from the tip of the compass on the Xuan Blade, and the pair of slightly closed eyes looked at the woman.
The woman seemed to be weighing the odds of victory, and suddenly, she turned and ran to the other side. She has no confidence in Ai Yan!
But before she could run far, as if suddenly there were no bones, the woman fell heavily on the asphalt pavement, her body was scratched a few times, and there was some slight bleeding, but she didn't react, just lay there, didn't move!
Ina watched all this in amazement, and her body carefully moved away from him.
"Are you here to get me back?"
Ai Yan didn't answer her question, or he didn't want to answer her question. Ai Yan slowly walked to the side of the woman lying on the ground and squatted down.
Throughout the process, Ina tried her best to keep herself awake and tried her best to suppress the tiredness of her body.
"Since Your Excellency has been here a long time ago, why don't you come out and see you? Hiding in the shadows, it seems that Your Excellency is a sinister person. Ai Yu said quietly.
For a long time, without any echo, Ai Yan frowned, but still waiting, "There are some interesting things in the bodies of these two people, I think Your Excellency did it when they were not prepared, right? β
In the dense and deep forest beside the road, the sound of fallen leaves and branches being trampled and cracked was heard. Like a ghost, it is nowhere to be seen, but it is gradually approaching.
