Chapter 303 Waiting

"Uh...... Ah", a call came from the mouth of Old Lady Chen, which sounded a little weak, and her eyes kept looking out of the door, her eyes were full of surprise and surprise, as if she didn't understand what was going on until this moment.

But the shiny fang-like blade was pulled out of her body in an instant, and the old woman staggered a few steps in place with a trembling body, and then she could no longer support it and fell backwards, falling to the ground with a thud.

Shen Shi jumped out and strode towards the door, and there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing outside the door, when he rushed to the door and hugged the old lady Chen, who was already half dyed red, the stone steps outside the door were empty. Only a figure could be seen in the distance on the street outside, and then quickly disappeared into the flow of people in the street.

Shen Shi's pupils contracted, and he just wanted to go out to track it, but he heard a few painful moans suddenly spit out from the mouth of the old lady Chen who was lying on the ground, and even the voice seemed to tremble slightly. The muscles on Shen Shi's face twisted slightly, and finally he paused the body that was about to rush out, and then quickly knelt down beside Old Madam Chen, flattened her with one hand, and reached out to the Ruyi bag on his waist with the other, ready to take out some pills to stop bleeding and heal.

But at this moment, his eyes saw the wound on Old Madam Chen's abdomen, and then suddenly his hands stiffened, and he saw the wound that kept gushing blood, and the blood flowing out there at this moment had turned black.

There was even poison on that sword!

Shen Shi raised his head slowly, his gaze fell on the face of this gentle and charitable old woman again, and suddenly he seemed to have an inexplicable feeling, as if he suddenly couldn't see this woman clearly.

What kind of person would poison such an unarmed and seemingly benevolent and gentle old woman?

And even if you start, such a mortal can be fatal with a sword piercing the abdomen, why is there such a poison attached to the sword, as if she is afraid that she will not die? Or ...... Shen Shi glanced at the distorted and painful look on Old Madam Chen's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Or is it too happy for her to die?

The murderer fled with a blow, obviously planning for today's events, and acted decisively without any delay, not even half a step into the house. What kind of person is there who has such a great hatred for this old woman, could it be some other enemies of Chen Zhong?

Walking the world's casual cultivation, especially if you have done some shady things that are not visible, it seems that there are some enemies who are not surprising, and the murderer just now didn't seem to expect that there was another person in this house.

"Yo Yo, Yo Yo ......" A low call woke Shen Shi up from his contemplation, it was the fox that had been quietly following him in and then lying in the sun in the courtyard, it seemed to be a little uneasy, grabbed the corner of Shen Shi's clothes with its teeth, and gently pulled a few times.

Shen Shi touched its head, signaling it to be calm, and then turned to look at Old Madam Chen. He used to travel the world to hone and explore, and he knew a little more about the healing of injuries than ordinary monks, but after only looking at it for a moment, Shen Shi knew that this kind-looking old woman was no longer able to return to heaven, or rather, to be precise, he himself could not save her.

For ordinary people, a puncture in the abdomen was enough to be fatal, not to mention that the wound was extremely violent, and it seemed that it was already corroding the internal organs. Old Madam Chen was already dying, her eyes were dilated, but her mouth was still humming in pain, and the muscles on her face were twisted to the point that they even began to be a little hideous, and she even looked like she was worse than dead.

Shen Shi called her softly twice, but did not respond.

The black blood flowed on the ground in this courtyard, and soon even the grass on the ground seemed to show some signs of withering.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then took one last look at Old Madam Chen, who was already delirious and just moaning in pain, and then stretched out his hand and put it on her neck.

At that moment, his movements paused, and the slightly cool feeling from his fingertips made him hesitate inexplicably, but after waiting for a while, he took a deep breath and pressed his five fingers, only to hear a sudden "click" sound under his hands, crisp but low, as if ringing in his heart.

Old Madam Chen's whole body was shocked, her hands and feet trembled, her eyes straightened up for a moment, and after a while, her head suddenly tilted to the side, and there was no sound again.

※※※

"Yo ......"

A low, whimpering wail came from the side. Shen Shi slowly stood up, turned his head to look, and saw that in this huge courtyard, only he and a fox were looking at each other, and as his gaze swept over, the fox seemed to suddenly be a little afraid, took two steps back, and widened the distance between him and Shen Shi. A pair of bright fox eyes stared at Shen Shi deadly, as if he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Shen Shi's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something to the fox, maybe to comfort it, but in the end, for some reason, he still didn't say anything after all.

The courtyard was quiet, very quiet, and in that faint smell of blood, it seemed that even the wind did not want to blow here.

Shen Shi walked slowly to the gate of this house, and the street outside was empty, and no one seemed to notice that a gentle and charitable old woman had just died here. Shen Shi stood at the door in silence for a moment, and then did not leave the place immediately, but turned around and closed the door.

With that creaking sound, after the door closed, the blood in the courtyard seemed to be cut off from the outside world, Shen Shi returned to the old woman, leaned over and picked up the dead woman, and put her back in the living room before.

Then he looked at the body for a moment, and saw that the old woman was stained with blood and stained blood, and her face was painfully distorted, and it was really miserable, and he shook his head slightly, and then he turned and went out, and walked towards the courtyard behind the house.

The back is naturally where the master lives, Shen Shi didn't spend much effort, he found the old woman's bedroom, and this place is just like what Old Madam Chen said before, she is the only one who lives here, and there is no one to serve her.

The aisles, windowsills, tables, chairs, and beds, everything looked clean and neat, and perhaps the old man was really a diligent and clean-loving person. Shen Shi silently went to the bed and hugged a futon, then walked back to the living room, opened the futon and covered the old man's body.

Then he went to the chair in the depths of the living room and sat down, waiting quietly.

The silent time passed silently, the light outside the house was bright and dim, the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops was far away, and even the shadows on the floor of the living room seemed to be constantly changing, long or short, and Shen Shi's face was cloudy.

The fox seemed to be a little wary and cautious at first, and felt uncomfortable with the house where the corpse was placed, but later, it seemed to be barely used to it, and slowly fell asleep not far from Shen Shi.

The light outside the house slowly dimmed.

Shen Shi sat in the dark, quietly waiting.

Until the dead of night, when it was dark all around, the living room was like a ghost and gradually became a little gloomy, and suddenly from the distance outside the house, in the direction of the gate, there was a "squeak" sound.

Someone pushed open the door and walked in.
