"...Okay." Shen Xibai nodded cautiously, feeling a little helpless with his hands and feet.

Uncle Zhu ate very happily, he pulled Shen Xibai all the way, and talked all kinds of things. On the contrary, Shen Xibai felt suffocated as if he was dancing on the tip of a knife, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"Teacher Shen..." The boy raised his eyebrows, accentuated the ending, and suddenly called out.

Shen Xibai trembled violently, the hands holding the chopsticks couldn't stop shaking three times, staring at the boy's face like a frightened rabbit, and asked nervously, "What, what's wrong?"

The boy pointed to the sky and showed a deep smile, "It's going to rain, will you go back today?"

Shen Xibai was startled, and raised his head to look at the sky, only then did he notice that the sky, which had been clear not long ago, suddenly became cloudy at some point, and the wind was blowing the cracked and brown old tree leaves beside it, wrapping a An earthy smell.

Shen Xibai frowned, and reached out his hand to take out the phone from his pocket, but he fumbled back and forth for a long time, but found a loneliness, and Shen Xibai panicked.

——his cell phone is missing.

The boy asked calmly, "Is there something missing?"

Shen Xibai nodded his head heavily, his face was still calm, but his heart was already flustered, he said truthfully, "Yes, my mobile phone is missing."

He asked a truck driver in the county to send him here. Before the truck driver left, he left a phone number and told the other party that he would call the other party in advance when he left the village so that the driver could come and pick him up.

Now that he has lost his mobile phone, and the weather outside is even more likely to rain, it seems that he will not be able to leave the village tonight.

The boy's eyes were obscure, with the impact of being able to see through people's thoughts, as if he could easily see Shen Xibai's embarrassment at a glance.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, he revealed a mysterious smile, and said, "Mr. Shen, do you want to live here today?"

Shen Xibai stared slightly, surprised, and looked at him.

Uncle Zhu took a mouthful of oil, and when he heard the boy's words, he also agreed very much. He squinted his eyes, munched on the food, pouted his mouth, and agreed, "Yes, yes, you can live in the old man's house."

Shen Xibai pursed his lips, knowing that the solution proposed by the boy was a better choice, he was grateful but also a little flustered, in the end, he hesitated for two seconds and nodded.

But he didn't notice that the moment the boy nodded, his smile suddenly deepened, and the color of his eyes also slightly darkened, with a little imperceptible scarlet.

Like a poisonous snake that locked its target at night and waited for an opportunity.

"Boom--"

The dark sky was split into shocking cracks by lightning one after another, the dark clouds gathered in clusters had distinct layers, the pattering raindrops hit the ground even more cracklingly, and the blowing wind was even more swift and fierce, carrying the momentum of sweeping the world.

Shen Xibai was in the room, and could clearly hear the trembling sound of the slightly rusty glass windows, and he could even hear the thick and long branches of the dead trees outside the window being blown apart because they couldn't hold on. Hit the ground hard.

"I haven't seen such a heavy rain in several years." Uncle Zhu couldn't help sighing as he looked at the door that was creaked by the wind.

Shen Xibai nodded in agreement, he had never seen such heavy rain in the south.

"Meow--"

In the dark night, a piercing meow suddenly sounded, like a crying baby crying uncontrollably.

When Shen Xibai heard this cry, all the goosebumps on his body stood on end.

He said in horror, "Why is there still a cat meowing?"

The boy on the side raised his eyebrows, his light brown eyes turned out of the window, his expression was hard to see in the dim light, "Oh, maybe it's a wild cat that came out of nowhere."

Shen Xibai pressed his chest with lingering fear, and an indescribable panic hovered in his heart.

The boy's smile grew stronger.

With the continuous tearing of the cat's meowing, the sound of footsteps appeared outside the door. The sound of footsteps was very urgent. Just listening to the sound, one could feel the embarrassment of the visitor.

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone? Can you open the door?"

The man panted heavily, and patted the wooden door with his broad palm, his movements were somewhat rude and brutal.

Uncle Zhu was kind-hearted. When he heard the sound, he immediately pricked up his ears, looked up at the boy with a calm face, and said, "Xiao Xu, go and see what's going on."

The boy nodded calmly, followed Uncle Zhu's wishes and walked to the door.

However, Shen Xibai inexplicably felt that the people outside the door were not kind, and he didn't know if it was the shock of being a documentary photographer. He felt even more flustered, so Shen Xibai stared at the boy's every move with burning eyes, fearing that something unexpected would happen next.

But the boy was not in a hurry to unlock the door, lowered his voice, and with a strange accent, elongated his voice, "What's the matter?"

The people outside the door didn't seem to hear anything wrong with the boy's tone, there was even a burst of surprise cheers at the door, and then a man's voice hurriedly answered, "Hello, hello, we are from outside the village, and now suddenly It's raining heavily, we can't get out of the village, we have no place to stay, please can you let us spend the night."

"Several people?"

The man hurriedly answered, "Three, three people."

The boy's quiet eyes looked at Uncle Zhu, as if asking for his opinion.

Although Uncle Zhu was easy to talk to, he didn't just come and let a stranger come in at will, so that he could let people stay at ease.

Hearing the purpose of the outsider, he shook his head almost without hesitation.

Shen Xibai, who was nervous at the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing Uncle Zhu shaking his head.

The boy immediately turned his head knowingly, and calmly told the man outside the door, "Sorry, I don't stay here."

The man was in a hurry, and continued to slam the door with his hand, "Please, it's raining too much outside, we are not bad people, I promise we will not do anything, we just want to find a place to hide from the rain."

Saying that, the other two also joined the battle of persuasion, and quickly echoed.

"I beg you, can you ignore death and not save us? If we can't find a place for one night under such heavy rain, we will definitely die!"

"We are really good people. We are the bosses who go to the village to recruit young people to work in other places. We are here to help you solve employment problems!"

Perhaps it was the words "solve employment" that moved Uncle Zhu. Uncle Zhu raised his head again, hesitated for two seconds, and nodded gently in the dim and fluttering light.

After receiving the letter, the boy opened the wooden door without hesitation.

The three men outside rushed in in a hurry. They were in a mess, and they were soaked like three soaked rats.

The boy's eyes were like sharp thin knives, sweeping across the three of them, sizing up the visitor, with unthinking malice and deep disgust in his eyes.

But the boy's eyes closed so quickly that it was almost difficult for people to notice his flash of emotion just now.

Shen Xibai stood beside him, carefully looking at the three people who rushed in.

A fat man with a pot belly, a Mediterranean who is almost bald, and a man with glasses who is tall and thin like a monkey.

All three were wearing suits of not-so-good quality, and they were holding a black leather briefcase in their hands. The polished leather shoes were all covered with clay, and their clothes were completely soaked. They looked really embarrassed. .

Judging from their attire alone, they do have a bit of a bluffing "boss temperament", which is enough to deceive the villagers of this backward village and make them play around.

When Uncle Zhu saw this posture, he believed it even more. He rubbed his hands and asked, "You, are you here to recruit workers?"

The fat man was shocked, immediately apologized, nodded heavily, and then began to introduce himself, "My name is Liu Wei, and the two of them are Wang Gangming and Li Jiancheng."

Wang Gangming is Mediterranean, and Li Jiancheng is a man with glasses.

As he said that, he took out his business cards from his pocket very enthusiastically, and handed them one by one to the hands of the other three people present.

Shen Xibai narrowed his eyes and asked vigilantly, "Are you from a construction company?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Wei nodded with an apologetic smile, and then began to add, "Our construction site is in urgent need of manpower, and we want to come over and recruit some young people."

"Are you from Bingzhou?" As soon as Shen Xibai saw the place name 'Bingzhou', he immediately had a sense of crisis.

A shrewd light flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, he missed Shen Xibai's sharp questioning gaze, and gave a vague "hmm".

The originally calm boy suddenly snorted lightly, and a breathtaking cold light shone in the depths of his cold eyes.

Hearing his laughter, everyone looked over at the same time, with surprised expressions, and the air froze.

The boy glanced at Liu Wei's whole body, and said calmly, "Are you the only three here?"

Liu Wei was terrified by the other party's gloomy eyes, as if locked by a black snake group, feeling flustered and suffocated for no reason.

It was as if he was naked, without even a pair of underwear left, being scrutinized wantonly, and then all the dirty things in his heart were easily pryed out by the other party.

"Ah, ah, me, we still have a few friends, but they got separated from us." Liu Wei was heartbroken and laughed awkwardly.

"Really?" A low laugh came from his throat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his throat seemed to contain a handful of sand, which was very rough.

Perhaps because of guilty conscience, Liu Wei didn't dare to answer the words, the heavy air was once again deadlocked and stagnant.

Shen Xibai's beautiful eyes flicked back and forth to everyone. Although he didn't speak, he was like a kitten with fried hair, a bit fierce.

The boy moved without warning, and walked to the position on Shen Xibai's left.

Shen Xibai shuddered, feeling a pair of warm hands suddenly grasping his wrist.

The boy protected him behind him, blocking Shen Xibai's figure, and then showed a friendly and friendly smile to the three uninvited guests, "Aren't you going to find them? It's raining so heavily outside, you may not know what will happen Surprise."

As soon as the boy's voice fell, there was another thunder and lightning outside the window, and there was a thunderbolt.

The explosion was deafening.

And at the moment when the lightning flashed, Liu Wei, who was closest to the boy, clearly saw a bloodthirsty glint flashing in the other's eyes, with a mocking gleam at the corner of his mouth, and the cold light that penetrated deep into his bones was icy cold.

"..." Liu Wei was frightened and kneeled on the ground.

The boy looked down at him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "Aren't you worried?"
