And my facts proved that my hesitation in these few seconds was right. Just when I came to my senses and was about to run away all night as planned, there was a sound of barking outside the door, accompanied by a dog barking in the distance. The sound of footsteps... .
I want to thank this remote house and the quiet night in the mountain village for making the sound of footsteps like this particularly obvious. Although I don’t know who the visitor is, I can tell from the dangerous feeling in my heart that the visitor does not have good intentions. .
The room is dark and there are no lights on, which gives me a sense of security. I am now in the bedroom on the second floor. I can probably observe the situation outside through the bedroom window. I don't want to be too passive.
Thinking like this, I held my breath, walked quietly to the window, quietly poked half of my face out, and began to observe the situation outside.
The night in the mountain village is very dark, because there are no street lights, and it is still a drizzling night. At first glance, it is just a deep darkness. After my eyes adapted for a second or two, I could barely see the things outside clearly.
On the road leading to the village from the village entrance, there were several vague figures walking!
When I saw them, maybe because it was too dark and the road was difficult to walk, one of them took out a small flashlight and lit it, so that I could see more clearly that the people coming were four men.
Judging from their clothing, they are definitely not from this village, and it is impossible for four young and middle-aged men to appear in this village at the same time. Almost all of them have gone out to work.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead, and my brain started to run at high speed. What should I do in this situation? But at this moment, I felt a sense of extreme danger, and instinctively I hid towards the window.
Before I had time to take a breath, a dazzling flashlight light hit the window. It lingered back and forth for a long time before disappearing!
Then, in the quiet night of this mountain village, a few words of clear dialogue, although they were deliberately suppressed, came to my ears.
"What are you doing? Will you alert others?" A man scolded.
"No, I just feel like someone is spying on us." Another man explained in a voice, but when I heard this sentence, the thin beads of sweat appeared more quickly and merged into a large drop of sweat. Rolled off my forehead.
The amount of information in this sentence is actually very large. The person who feels that he is being spied on should be a person with strong spiritual sense. Otherwise, I would hide by the window and peek. Ordinary people, no, even ordinary practitioners with profound skills can't. Impossible to discover.
If such a person appears, things will have a lot of variables, because I am also a person with a strong spiritual sense. I understand this. People who rely on their feelings to judge things will generally bring a lot of variables to things.
For example, when I invited my master to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it was obviously not a Zhongmao technique. Ordinary practitioners would definitely stop performing the technique, but I relied on my feeling to forcibly complete the technique...
While I was thinking quickly, the following conversation continued, with the man who spoke first speaking in a low voice.
"Your spiritual sense is very accurate, and you are valued by the organization, but there must be no mistakes in this matter, so..." The man stopped talking.
But I was hiding on the second floor, and my mood became heavier and heavier. Is this matter very important to the organization? In other words, are they sure I'm not dead? If I lose even this layer of cover, how can I fight against a large organization
But then, another man interrupted and made me feel a little more at ease: "Team leader, this is just uncertain news. The organization is also skeptical and came with the idea of preferring to kill by mistake. Do you need to be so serious?"
I breathed a long sigh of relief. It turned out that the organization was not sure that I was still alive, and even said that it was only slightly suspicious and came with the attitude of killing by mistake.
"But have you ever thought about the two outcomes of catching that person, or that person just escaping from our hands, if this news is accurate?" The man spoke again.
When he said this, the man who didn't feel that he paid much attention to this matter fell silent. At this time, the man with very accurate spiritual sense spoke again: "Although the upper management of the organization has calculated that the man is dead, I Do you think this news is true? I’m really looking forward to meeting this person to see if it’s his spiritual sense that’s stronger, or mine.”
Damn it, I couldn't help but yell in my heart, who is interested in fighting with him? It’s just that people with strong spiritual senses are so damn annoying. Why do you think this news is true? However, I ignored that I am also a person with strong spiritual awareness. When I scolded me like this, I simply scolded myself!
"Really?" The team leader's voice was a little excited. Of course I could understand him. He was a man who wanted to make meritorious deeds and was crazy.
It's just that this group of guys is obviously too inexperienced. Compared with the "old fritters" in the department led by Jiang Yi, the mistakes they made are quite low-level. They think that talking quietly is very secretive, but they don't expect that this is a mountain village and it is quiet at night. Moreover, it is quite empty here. There is only a hill behind my house, and the sound spreads very clearly.
The "old fritters" in the department are basically communicating with gestures.
Thinking that they were such pampered rookies, I felt a little relieved. But after the team leader said 'really', the courtyard below was already silent. I frowned and looked carefully, and it turned out that they had already When we got to the bottom of the courtyard, we were probably tinkering with the gate.
At this time, I already had some calculations in my mind, although there were some risks.
I waited quietly, trying my best to hide my figure in the shadows, and observed carefully.
Time passed minute by minute, and about two minutes later, the door opened silently under deliberate control, and four sneaky figures walked into the small courtyard.
I started using my flashlight in the yard, looking around and observing... .
At this time, they behaved a little more professionally. They knew how to be gentle and silent. They tried their best to control the flashlight light and try not to affect the inside of the house...
However, the yard is empty, and this house only has a small yard in front of the house. Behind the house is a fence, and behind the fence is the hill. The area close to the house is a steep slope with a 60-degree slope. There is no value in exploring the outside of the house.
I have been observing these people, and sure enough, they did not gain anything in the yard, but within five minutes, they gathered at the door of the house. One of them was hunched over, probably tinkering with the door of the house again.
At this time, my palms were a little sweaty and my heartbeat was a little fast. I couldn't fight these people openly, just because if I didn't kill them all, it would be equivalent to telling the organization that I was still alive... Even if I could passively dodge, I would still be at such a disadvantage, so it was impossible for me not to be nervous.
But I still adjusted my breathing so that I could breathe gently without making too much noise. The moment they entered the house, I reached out and unlocked the window.
I can't move too fast. If I move too fast, I will make a sound. Even a small sound may kill me completely. Because the five senses of a cultivator are particularly sensitive, you cannot compare the hearing of an ordinary person with the hearing of a cultivator. Otherwise, Even if they were talking in a quiet village at night, I couldn't hear every word so clearly.
I opened the lock of the window silently, and at the same time I was quickly calculating in my heart. There are three rooms downstairs with a kitchen, but because the family is not actually very wealthy, the rooms are very empty. After careful inspection, the speed of the four people would not exceed 5 minutes. Then they would go upstairs soon, and the room I was in now was the first one facing the corridor upstairs.
In other words, the time left for me was only 5 minutes at most. My mind was calculating these, but my movements were very fast. While opening the window lock, I stood up and started to push the window open. The window is a very old-fashioned side-by-side window. Because it has been closed for a long time, the loose leaves should be a little rusty. I want this action to be silent, so I am more careful, but it wastes a lot of time.
I didn't push all the windows open. After opening them to a certain extent, I leaned out and gently put down the duffel bag.
There is also a bedroom below my room, and the old-fashioned village houses usually have a cement block on the window that is supposed to keep out the rain. Now it has become my shelter, hiding from this round of exploration. The only turning point.
I put down the duffel bag gently, but the sense of crisis in my heart became more and more serious. Ordinarily, there was still plenty of time, but after all, among the four people, there was a person with excellent spiritual awareness. That was a variable, so I Without thinking, he climbed over the window, grabbed the narrow window sill with both hands, and stood on the cement block.
Outside the window, drizzle and cold wind enveloped my body in an instant. Because I moved too fast, I lost my balance slightly and almost fell.
This height would not hurt me, but the movement would definitely expose me. Fortunately, at that time, I leaned back in time, reached out and grabbed the window sill, and managed to stabilize my body.
But at this time, there is still one thing that must be done... .
