The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 1970 Accidental Threat

"That's the situation, but it's okay, we are only a few hundred meters away from the pier, and we can go home after a short run." Ling Xiao introduced the current situation to Mariko, and then felt a little helpless Said: "The car can only be thrown here temporarily, you just wait here for a while, I will go home and get an umbrella first."

When they came out, there was no such rain in the weather forecast at night, and when they returned from the academy, the sky was clearly still clear.

So now either Ling Xiao will go back to the old house to get an umbrella, or the two of them will stay here together until the rain breaks.

"No, it's not too far from home, and I'm not that delicate, so I just go home now." Mariko decisively rejected Ling Xiao's suggestion, which made Ling Xiao a little surprised.

But he quickly figured out the reason, smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, no one will chase you at this time."

Ling Xiao thought that Mariko didn't want to stay here alone because of safety issues, and worried that Ling Xiao would cause problems if he left him here alone.

But Mariko shook her head calmly and said, "You think too much, I'm purely because the rain doesn't have much of a reason."

The rain is indeed not very heavy, it is heavier than light rain and less than moderate rain, and it is really small and uncertain. If it is a downpour, then they can only be forced to stay in the car, but with the current rain, It really can't stand in their way.

"Okay then, you sit in the car for a while, I will push the tree in front of me away, and then I will push the car aside in a while, so as not to let the car behind hit me again." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he once again Stepping out of the car, standing in front of the lying tree, he lifted his toes vigorously, and the whole tree was lifted half a meter high in an instant, and then he kicked it hard, and the whole tree was directly kicked to the side of the road.

To be honest, if Mariko hadn't said those words just now, Ling Xiao might have lifted up the tree obediently and thrown it aside, but inexplicably, just before doing it, his whole spirit suddenly became tense Woke up, I don't know why, anyway, that's what I did.

Shaking his head, Ling Xiao walked to the door of the passenger seat, knocked lightly on the car door, and was about to say something when suddenly his gaze froze, and he froze for a moment, but In the blink of an eye he was back to normal again.

The change in Ling Xiao's expression did not hide the truth from Mariko who was close at hand. In the blink of an eye, Mariko had already pushed the car door and walked out, asking with a surprised face: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"There's something wrong, don't look around, look over there." Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation to protect Mariko under his body, while pointing at the roots of the trees that he kicked aside, and lowered his voice under the light of the car lights Said: "Do you think that looks like a trace that was cut off by someone?"

When Mariko looked around, he couldn't help being a little stunned. More than half of the roots of the whole tree looked like they had been cut off by an axe.

"Let me just say, the wind is not strong tonight. Such a big tree shouldn't be broken by the wind so easily, just lying on the road." Mariko's face is very ugly, if this is really the case If so, it proves that someone has arrived here and is following them.

In any case, their current situation is very bad, Ling Xiao forced a smile on his face, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, maybe someone cut down the tree in half before it rained, and it was too late to transport the tree away Maybe."

"Do you believe this yourself?" A sneer appeared on Mariko's face, and then she said directly: "Don't comfort me, I'm not that fragile."

"Okay, then pay attention, we're leaving now!" Ling Xiao put his arms around Mariko's shoulders, which seemed to be protecting her from the rain, but it had already faintly protected her.

Mariko didn't struggle, she just asked casually: "Is it okay to leave the car here?"

"No, it's not necessarily a bad thing to leave the car here like this. It won't be so peaceful here tonight. The car doesn't turn off and the lights are on. Maybe it can help us." Ling Xiao gave up the previous in the blink of an eye. Plan, his whole body is extremely vigilant at this time, the crisis is lurking in the rainy night so faintly, no one knows when the murderous opportunity will come.

Under the illumination of the car lights, Ling Xiao carefully protected Mariko and quickly approached the old house.

Mariko leaned against Ling Xiao. Although Ling Xiao covered most of the rain on her head, Ling Xiao did not cover it all, especially the back of her head, where the rain kept pouring in from the back of her neck. , made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but in front of her, Ling Xiao's slightly sideways body had completely blocked her front half from the wind and rain.

The two were so close, but Mariko didn't feel abnormally uncomfortable, but felt a special warmth, a reassuring feeling from Ling Xiao, when she was rescued by Wolverine before, Luo Root looked fierce, but Mariko felt an unusual coldness from his body. Mariko knew that it was because all the bones in Logan's body had been replaced by Edman alloy.

Ling Xiao protected Mariko and moved forward quickly. Suddenly, Ling Xiao's footsteps stopped, and Mariko didn't stop, and continued to move forward, stepping into the rain, she couldn't help shivering all over her body, subconsciously returned to When he reached Ling Xiao's side, he raised his head and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

"Yeah!" Ling Xiao nodded with a sullen face, and said: "I was negligent, I just thought that we were tampered with on the way back, so what about the old house, has the old house been ambushed? Manpower, if we just ran back so casually, would we run directly into the trap?"

Hearing what Ling Xiao said, her complexion sank instantly, and she nodded and said, "It looks like we won't be able to go back tonight."

"Let's go, let's just find a place to rest for the night. I remember that there are several rooms here that are empty." Ling Xiao sighed softly, and then whispered: "You know, all this It is very likely that we are too nervous, maybe there is no other force involved, it is just a coincidence, there is no ambush in the old house, maybe someone has found this place, but they may not have found the old house yet."

"But I will find it after all, won't I?" Mariko was usually calm at this time. She glanced back at the vehicle behind, and then said in a low voice: "I'd rather be nervous for nothing than take risks at will. Yes, the rear lights can't just be on like this."

Ling Xiao glanced back at the vehicles in the distance. He originally kept the vehicles to help them illuminate the road ahead, but now, as Mariko said, the lights can't just be on like this, because if it continues like this, It is easy to expose their tracks.

"It's simple." Ling Xiao lowered his body and picked up two small stones from the road, then flicked them several hundred meters away, and heard two "bang bang", the headlights of the car had been directly extinguished by him. The stones were mixed on the road under the rain, which was inconspicuous at all.

"Let's go, so even if they finally find the car parked outside the pier, they won't be able to determine who was sitting in the car." Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Mariko, nodded to her, and then went to protect her. He continued to walk in the direction of the pier.

The street on the pier was originally on the edge of the city. The water depth of this pier is not large, and ordinary large ships cannot dock here. It is usually used by some locals for fishing, but modern fisheries , Small-scale fishing and hunting can't make much money at all, so this place is just enough to ensure food and clothing for the locals. If you want to make big money, you still have to go to other places.

It is precisely because of this that many people here have moved away, and the houses here cannot be sold at any price, so they can only be placed here empty one by one. Only the locals know who is who, and outsiders come Here, if you want to find out the situation here, you have to ask the locals, or you can only touch the houses one by one. If it is the former, these unmanned houses will become the blind spots of vision.
