Did you see my knife?

Chapter 37 The Shadow Outside the Window

It seemed that someone was there, the person who was swinging the ax stopped his movements, and stood there quietly, motionless like a statue,
From this angle, he could only see clearly the black clothes he was wearing and the cold axe, but nothing else could be seen clearly.

Xu Fengchun stepped forward cautiously, trying to see who it was, but was stopped by Lin Sanmu.

"Don't move."

In the dark of night, the only sound around was the breathing of two people, Xu Fengchun had no choice but to stand where he was, squinting his eyes, trying to distinguish the appearance of that person.

It was too dark to see anything clearly, but apart from the reflection from the axe, Xu Fengchun found that there were some reflections on the man's face, as if something was on that man's face.

What is it?
"Go back." Lin Sanmu interrupted Xu Fengchun's conjecture, and said lightly.

He was not interested in what was in front of him, not at all curious.

Xu Fengchun said in a low voice, "Shall we leave like this?"

"I still can't tell if it's a human or a ghost." Lin Sanmu said: "Isn't the mission saying that when a dead person sings, the song doesn't sound, which means that no one died. Since no one died, then think about that What did the man chop?"

He said again: "That man has an ax in his hand, and we have nothing. What if he finds us and hacks us instead?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound in front, followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer.

Xu Fengchun's eyelids twitched and his scalp became numb.

That person seemed to have heard Lin Sanmu's words, and was approaching them step by step.The ax was dragged forward by the man because the handle was too long, and the sound of the iron rubbing against the ground was loud and harsh.

"Run." Lin Sanmu tugged on Xu Fengchun's clothes, saw that his footsteps only moved one step forward in a vain manner, and then froze on the spot, retracting the feet that had already stepped out, and said in a deep voice: "Stretch out your hands." .”

Xu Fengchun stretched out his hand a little stiffly, feeling as if he was in a world of ice and snow, every part of his body was stiff and numb.

His two feet were as if they were filled with lead, they were so heavy that he couldn't move, let alone run, he couldn't even take a step forward.

The hand was clenched in an instant, and Lin Sanmu's hand was very cold, like ice without temperature.The cold temperature stimulated Xu Fengchun's whole body to tremble, and his eyes widened in surprise.

He looked down at his tightly held hand, then at Lin Sanmu with a gloomy face, and opened his mouth: "You..."

Lin Sanmu didn't give him a chance to speak, he held his hand tightly and pulled him forward.While running, Xu Fengchun could only see his back. He was obviously very thin, but somehow it calmed him down.

He felt as if a century had passed for a small path, and when he ran into the room and closed the door, Xu Fengchun could only hear his own heavy breathing.

"Thank you, thank you."

He thanked him with difficulty, and poured himself a cup of tea. His fingers trembled several times and almost dropped the cup on the ground. He shook it violently countless times before he drank the cup of tea.

Breathing gradually calmed down, Xu Fengchun let out a breath, and noticed that Lin Sanmu was staring at him, smiled a little awkwardly, stared at his shaking hands and said: "No, it's not because I'm afraid. I don't know why, follow, follow It's like cramping. That's, that's... trembling like this, strange, strange to death. No, I don't believe it, you, look..."

He put his hand in front of Lin Sanmu, and held the palm with the other hand. Even so, the five fingers were still trembling slightly.

Lin Sanmu laughed suddenly, imitating his tone and said: "I, just now, held your unshakable hand. Could it be because I didn't hold your, that, that hand, so, just, trembled What? And, what, when did you stammer? You can’t speak, speak, speak well?”

Xu Fengchun felt ashamed for a moment and wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, put his hands behind his back, and said, "No, I didn't stutter, you, don't learn, learn how to speak from me."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Fengchun froze.

He spoke again, and shouted inarticulately: "San, San, Sanmu, I, I, I... It seems, just, just like that, stuttering."

Lin Sanmu looked at him, "You, you, you stutter like this, yes, you stutter like that?"

Xu Fengchun: "..."

He patted Lin Sanmu's shoulder hard, and said vaguely: "Don't, don't make trouble. What I mean is... I seem to be stuttering... I..."

He pointed to his mouth, with a hasty expression on his face, he made random gestures with his hands for a long time, and finally his expression collapsed: "That's right, I'm stuttering..."

It's over, he seemed to be stuttering to the end, and he didn't know why it happened suddenly, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence at all.

Xu Fengchun drank five glasses of water, stared at the silent Lin Sanmu and said again: "Shen, Shen Mo."

Xu Fengchun was stunned, and Lin Sanmu was also stunned. After a while, Lin Sanmu let out a laugh, "Shen Mo? Did you mix the sound on purpose or what? Mo, what do you mean? Are you talking once?"

Xu Fengchun said angrily, "Don't, don't tease me! I'm calling you, name! No, say no."

Lin Sanmu nodded solemnly: "I understand."

How could he understand the mocking look on his face.

Xu Fengchun's mouth became more and more uneasy, afraid that he would say something stupid, he closed his mouth, and comforted himself in his heart: maybe he was stimulated by running too fast, it will be fine after a while, it will be fine after a while.

The voice outside had disappeared, and no one was chasing after him. He was busy with his stuttering just now, but now Xu Fengchun realized that there was still a great danger outside.

He lifted the dirty cloth in front of the window and took a look outside. Under the light of the red lantern, everything in the middle of the courtyard was normal and there was nothing.

Xu Fengchun put down the curtain and opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Sanmu pulled him to his side uncharacteristically.Xu Fengchun looked back subconsciously, and saw a figure holding an ax standing outside the window.

It's hard to imagine that if it wasn't for Lin Sanmu's quick hands, people outside would have noticed that he was at the window, and would have chopped it down with an axe.

There is nothing in the window, just a square hole, covered with a cloth, as long as the ax comes down, it will be turned into two halves.

Xu Fengchun stared at the figure, feeling death passing by again, but this time, he was not so frightened, and all he could think about was Lin Sanmu's reaction speed just now.

He can help him eliminate the danger at the first moment when he sees the danger. Such a person's reaction speed is definitely not what ordinary people can have.

Lin Sanmu...not easy.
