Chapter 222
Through the light of the window, Carter could be vaguely seen sitting there like a piece of rotten wood. It seemed that he was still deeply blaming himself and guilty for Terry's death.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao felt mixed emotions in his heart. If Carter couldn't get out of his inner demons, no matter who helped him, it would be useless.

At this time, Li Xiao felt a urge to urinate, got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to the bathroom.

The entire manor villa is very grand and luxurious, and it was specially approved by the FBI to protect the safety of the few of them.

There are fine carpentry lines everywhere, gorgeous and colorful furniture carvings, warm-colored blankets spread out, a fireplace that feels warm as soon as you get close to it, and a star-patterned ceiling, magnificent and classic rice-style villa style.

If you don't have to be on guard against death all the time, then living in such a villa is quite comfortable.

When Li Xiao passed the stairwell and was about to go back to his room, he suddenly found that the living room downstairs was lit, but there was no sound.

Li Xiao frowned slightly, and after walking down the stairs, he found that Claire was holding a book and reading it under the lamp with a concentrated expression.

"Still not sleeping yet?" Li Xiao frowned slightly, sat down on the sofa opposite Claire, and looked at Claire leisurely.

"It's very quiet at night. This time is suitable for reading." Claire looked away from the book, looked up at Li Xiao, and said with trembling eyelashes.

Li Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this.

He has always thought that Claire is a very strange girl, with long, soft hair hanging down her shoulders, and green eyes like that gentle autumn water, not only is she beautiful and charming, but even when everyone is killed When shrouded in fear, she was still able to maintain calm and indifferent, like a snow lotus blooming alone, separated from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Looking at each other, Li Xiao couldn't help feeling slightly dazed.

Li Xiao turned his head and squinted at the title of the book, which was "Leaves of Grass" written by the American poet Walt Whitman.

"Do you like reading poetry collections?" Li Xiao asked.

"Well, I like the romantic mood in this collection of poems very much. When I read the collection of poems when I am upset, all the unhappiness will disappear." Claire showed a sweet smile.

Unexpectedly, this is still a literary young woman, but this can be seen from some scenes in the movie. Whether in the airport waiting room or at home, Claire often reads books with her hands in her hands, which shows her love for books. .

Speaking of which, Claire temporarily closed the poetry collection, her eyes lit up like agate stones immersed in a pool of autumn water, and she looked at Li Xiao with interest: "Why, Xiao, you also have a lot of research on poetry collections. ?"

Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said: "If there is any research, I can't talk about it, but I also like the free and unrestrained artistic conception in the poems, just like the poems of a famous poet in our country: Swallows and grasses are like green jade. Silk, Qin Sang's low green branches. When the king's arms return to the sun, it's when the concubine is heartbroken."

I think when he was in college, in order to pick up girls, Li Xiao had to fiddle with these love poems a lot. For example, this song "Spring Thought" by Li Bai can be easily read, and when he reads it, he still reads it in a rhythmic and emotional way. .

Claire listened to the meaning of this poem with a sinking heart, closed her eyes and felt the romantic mood suddenly flooding her mind, couldn't help but blushed, and praised sincerely: "This poem is really too beautiful. Wonderful! The poet who wrote this poem is also very talented, and his life experience must be full of legends to be able to write such lines.”

Li Xiao nodded in disbelief: "Speaking of which, his life is very legendary. It is true. He is not only full of knowledge and talent, but his poems are also famous for generations. He also likes to drink alcohol. He adds inspiration."

"Even his death was related to wine. According to legend, Li Bai wore a palace brocade robe and swam in the Caishi River.

For Li Bai, Li Xiao actually had more impressions of the poems he had to recite in Chinese class.Regarding the cause of Li Bai's death, Li Xiao also saw it on the post bar one day.

When he saw that paragraph of text, he felt very incredible. Li Bai's generation of poets was full of talent. In the era when poetry was respected, he was admired by countless people, but the death was really unimaginable. He was drunk. Catching the moon and dying, such a poet full of romanticism, did not expect that his death would be so dramatic, he is really jealous of talents.

"Ah? It's actually like this? That's really a pity." After listening to it, Claire couldn't help feeling sorry, but she became very interested in Li Bai's poems: "If I have time, I must read his collection of poems carefully." .”

"Well, it must have been worth it."

After discovering their common hobbies, Li Xiao and Claire also talked openly, including their own interests, hobbies, ideals, or emotional experiences, etc. It can be said that they talked about everything. In the meantime, Li Xiao felt more and more that many of Claire's ideas were in line with his own, and there was a feeling of mutual understanding.

There is no need for too many redundant words, and sometimes even just one look is needed to understand what the other party wants to express. The subtle feelings flow lightly, and the light lights reflect on the faces of the two, making them look extremely warm. Staring at each other, a calm smile, a feeling of happiness and warmth grew in the hearts of the two of them.

At this moment, Claire suddenly felt a chilly wind blowing, her neck shrank, and she couldn't help shivering. She turned her head and saw that the window of the living room had been blown open at some point. The cold wind was blowing in through the window.

"Strange, the window was clearly closed just now." Claire murmured suspiciously.

Li Xiao just noticed this, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the window sill, and stretched out his hand to close the window, but at this moment, his eyes froze, and the rest of his eyes froze. But the light caught in the darkness, and there was a figure walking towards the manor.

"That's... Carter?!"

The figure in the darkness, with its arms hanging down, hunched over, its slow pace seemed unusually heavy, as if it were a walking corpse that had lost consciousness.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in Li Xiao's heart. Just as he was about to stop him with a deep voice, Carter suddenly stopped in his tracks. After standing still for a while, he suddenly yelled, "Tai Li, I'll accompany you." It's gone!" Then, he suddenly accelerated and slammed into the granite wall!
