Chapter 130 Shadow Kiss
The more determined she was, the colder Gu Fei's eyes became.
"Sure?"
Li Xiaoyu nodded heavily, crossed his hands, and his left hand tightly grasped the flesh of his right forearm, leaving a deep indentation downwards.
Just like her voice: "I'm sure."
Others generally won't take harsh measures against the people and things they care about, but Gu Fei is just the opposite.
The more he cares about someone, the more he will do to her.
He hit harder and harder.
He stared at the woman opposite him for a while, who showed no intention of retreating.
After a long while, he opened his thin lips and said, "The first female corpse, both legs were skinned, and the kneecaps were stabbed..."
He told Li Xiaoyu about the evil deeds of Qi Yi and his son in a way other than written records, so that she could understand and digest it more intuitively.
Listening to him talk about the vicious incidents one after another, Li Xiaoyu's mind was quickly recalling them.
She found that this was very different from the file records that her master gave her at that time.
The archive records what the victims saw and the portraits of the murderer drawn by the artists at the time, without these deeper details.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too cool at night.
As Gu Fei continued talking, Li Xiaoyu felt a chill on his back and cold sweat broke out.
The door to the main room was not closed.
There was a gust of cool breeze, and the little kid lying on the ground suddenly barked.
Li Xiaoyu was so frightened that his body trembled.
She tilted her head and looked into the yard. It was pitch black and there was nothing there.
Seeing that she was like a frightened bird, Gu Fei finally softened his heart and pushed the tung oil lamp a little closer to Li Xiaoyu.
Let most of the light envelope her.
At the same time, he asked, "Do you want to continue listening?"
He quickly turned his gaze to the man opposite him, whose face remained expressionless, to show him his determination.
She pushed the lamp back to the center.
He placed his hands on his legs, clenched his fists, and pressed his light fingernails against the palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.
It's not particularly painful, but I'm awake enough.
She replied: "Go on."
The voice was low and firm.
Seeing her so determined, a hint of admiration flashed across Gu Fei's dark eyes.
He went on.
The two little ones who couldn't understand what was being said, one fell asleep next to Li Xiaoyu's feet, and the other fell asleep on her shoulder.
It wasn't much warmth, but it made her less scared.
As time passed, the number of Tong lanterns decreased little by little, and Gu Fei had less and less to say about this case.
By the time he finished speaking, it was almost dawn.
“That’s basically it.”
After saying this, he stood up and walked to the side, taking out a pot of tung oil and rush from a small cabinet.
While he was turning around, Li Xiaoyu quickly rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Do the lawyer and the county magistrate know what you said tonight?"
Gu Fei stood in front of the table and poured oil into the oil lamp.
He replied in a gentle voice while folding the rushes: "Twenty years ago, this case was known to everyone here. In addition to the fact that people spread it more and more weirdly, they were afraid of scaring you, so they didn't give you more detailed file records."
The folded rush was passed through the oil and the tip was lit.
It instantly illuminated the dark room.
"So that's how it is," Li Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
After putting the things away, Gu Fei saw that she had not finished the rice in her bowl. She probably didn't feel like eating anymore, so she reached out to take the plate.
The former grabbed his hand.
Perhaps it was because the story was told, or perhaps it was because the oil lamp was lit, Li Xiaoyu's fear was reduced a lot.
"I haven't finished eating yet."
Having said that, she let go of his hand, picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.
What's salty and what's bland.
She didn't care anymore. She just filled her stomach first. She didn't dare to go hungry tonight.
Gu Fei didn't say a word.
He withdrew his hand and looked at her lazily.
Suddenly, he noticed that their shadows were cast on the wall, and his head tilted slightly to the side.
On the opposite wall, the shadow presents a sense of cuddling with the other person's head resting on his shoulder.
It's just that the fat parrot's tail feathers are a bit of an eyesore.
Li Xiaoyu picked up dishes and looked up from time to time, and his shadow moved with him. Gu Fei was a little fascinated by him.
I noticed that his eyes were always looking behind me.
out of curiosity.
After swallowing the rice in his mouth, Li Xiaoyu tilted his upper body to the left, and looked back with a pout.
When she saw this, she was shocked.
Because of the way she pursed her lips, her shadow looked like it was kissing Gu Fei's face.
The temperature rose inexplicably.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
Not only her, Gu Fei also froze, and his thick long eyelashes trembled violently.
The earlobes were crimson.
Suddenly looking back.
Li Xiaoyu and Gu Fei's eyes met.
Obviously, he also saw what happened just now.
It's better to explain this embarrassing mistake, so that he won't misunderstand. He smiled and said, "That..."
Before she could finish her words, Gu Fei slowly stood up and interrupted her.
"Take your time to eat. I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath."
The rest of the words were stuck in her throat. Li Xiaoyu pulled the corners of her mouth, and when she finally uttered the right words, Gu Fei was no longer in the main room.
She was alone here, and the atmosphere was too quiet.
This made her think back to what Gu Fei had just said. The quiet environment only deepened her fear of the unknown.
In order not to scare herself, she forced herself to think about other things.
Thinking of the shadow kiss on her face just now, she turned back and stared at her own shadow on the wall.
Biting his chopsticks, he murmured curiously, "What action did he see when I didn't look back?"
She thought while eating from her bowl.
I couldn't come up with a result.
After washing the bowls, Gu Fei also boiled some water.
He poured water into the bathtub. Li Xiaoyu walked in with clothes in her hand. She looked at the somewhat dark room.
Biting her lower lip, she hesitated for a moment and said to the man who was about to leave: "Gu Fei, I was guarding you at the door last time, can you guard me this time? I'm a little scared."
Everything has a process, and she is still in the starting stage.
I haven't seen it in person, so I have to rely on my imagination. The richer my imagination, the more concrete the picture in my mind will be.
Her digestion ability is not that good, at least she doesn't dare to close her eyes tonight.
Gu Fei had no intention of leaving.
But her straightforward words made him feel a little irritated, suppressing the gloom in his heart.
He whispered back, "I'll keep watch over you."
Those five words without any emotional ups and downs gave Li Xiaoyu some sense of security. She breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you."
"polite."
Even with the door closed, the sound of water inside can be heard clearly.
Gu Fei leaned against the wall with his arms folded, glancing indifferently at his right hand that was hanging like a dead branch.
The look in his eyes grew colder.
At this time, he heard the woman inside ask: "Gu Fei, your junior brother's medical skills are very good, and I think your medical skills are not bad either. Can you prepare two doses of poison for me?"
Hearing this, Gu Fei turned his head and looked at the wooden door next to him.
Knowing that she was using chatting to dispel the fear in her heart, he concealed the coldness in his eyes and asked knowingly: "What's the use?"
"Defense yourself."
"I'm afraid that beast will come and dig my skull out someday. I have to prepare for it in advance. The murderer almost took my life last time. I can't be careless this time."
As soon as that incident was mentioned, Gu Fei felt a little regretful.
He took a deep breath, and his low voice became much gentler: "I won't let anything happen to you."
Li Xiaoyu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
She understood that since he was still in Shu, Qi Yi would not kill her rashly.
While taking a shower, I explained to him, "Your man will definitely leave Shu with you. If the county magistrate doesn't catch him during this period, Qi Yi will definitely come after me once you leave."
"I will take on portraits of other murderers in the future, and learn how to make poison at the same time."
"This way, if I encounter bad guys in the future, I can still protect myself."
Hearing her sincere words, Gu Fei's eyes darkened, and a layer of gloom suddenly appeared between his brows.
