Xi Le was silent, he sat quietly on the bed, staring at the treasure map in his hand.

He couldn't understand it, but Makino might not understand it.

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart. Since those people wanted it, then he was not what they wanted. Besides, he always felt that there was something in the system just now, pretending to be mysterious...

Xi Le had something to do in his heart, and he didn't have any appetite. He quickly drank a bowl of porridge to satisfy his hunger, and then washed up. Feeling much better, he lay down on the bed.

At this time, the night was falling, and the village was deadly silent.

A lamp was lit in the room, and the flickering light cast its light on Xi Le's curly eyelashes.

Xi Le turned over several times, he didn't feel sleepy at all, he couldn't fall asleep because he was thinking about something.

In the middle of the night, people became more cranky.

Muye didn't know where Tong Zhangzhang had gone, and he didn't come back late at night, so he didn't lock the door, leaving a door for Muye.

Xi Le curled up, with his back facing the outside of the bed, and there was silence in the air.

Suddenly, Xi Le seemed to hear something. He froze for a few seconds, then sat up and sat on the bed in white single clothes.

He carefully discerned the small sound, which seemed to be... the sound of people walking.

rustling --

There was also a little gasping sound.

Xi Le's heart sank, and he looked at the unlocked door, where it was pitch black, like a huge monster devouring people.

A trace of panic and fear welled up in Xi Le's heart.

Those voices became louder and louder, but after being heard by Xi Le, they all disappeared.

The world was restored to cleanliness.

But Xi Le knew that this was not an illusion.

With a grunt, he gathered his clothes, put on his shoes, and quietly got out of bed.

Then he walked towards the door, intending to lock the door and wait for Makino to come back before opening it.

But for a moment, he caught a glimpse of black figures from far to near outside the window, passing by in a flash.

At that moment, Xi Le's heart panicked and his hairs stood on end.

He knew that the villagers had come for him, and they wanted to kill him.

Xi Le smiled wryly. He walked to the door without touching the ground and locked it. Then he looked around and pulled a few stools over without making a sound, blocking the door.

He didn't know how many villagers came, but he knew there would be many, so he could block them for a while.

Xi Le's movements were quick. After he was done, he immediately turned around, ran under the window, and squatted down.

He looked at the lamp that was still on, thought for a while, and let it stay on.

It should be what it should be, and there can be no mistakes.

Xi Le squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. After a while, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

rustling --

Someone spoke above Xi Le's head: "The light is still on, and the man is still inside."

"I guess he hasn't woken up yet."

"It's fine if you don't wake up."

Xi Le's heart was beating violently, and he tried his best to stabilize his mind.

Now he can only save himself, he cannot die yet.

The sound of footsteps and voices gradually faded away, and Xi Le knew that they were walking towards the door.

He poked his head out, and seeing that there was no one outside, he stood up neatly, and when there was a bang at the door, he planned to open the window as silently as possible, but it was counterproductive.

If the window is to be opened, it must be opened to the outside. Isn't this a target?

Xi Le was secretly anxious, his hands were sweaty and sticky.

The villagers standing outside the door held knives in their hands. Their faces were indifferent and terrifying. After counting them, there were about seven or eight people, and they were all men.

They picked up the knives and were slamming at the door without making a sound. After a while, they lost patience, and the frequency gradually became unbalanced. They put down the knives one after another and hit the door with their bodies. They just wanted to smash the door open and kill Xi Le. To let go of the pain and resentment in their hearts.

The sound of "Frame frame -" hit the tip of Xi Le's heart.

He took a deep breath and watched as the stool blocking the door was bumped up and down, and there were frequent crackling sounds.

Can't last long...

Xi Le gritted her teeth, bent her body and slowly opened the window, praying secretly that she would not be discovered.

Fortunately, his prayers were successful.

Xi Le poked his eyes out from the window, and he saw seven or eight strong men standing outside the door, they were banging on the door with their backs to him, and they didn't notice this side.

Xi Le took a breath, propped himself up with his hands, and rolled out of the window.

Xi Le's body rolled on the ground like the wheels of a cart. After stabilizing his figure, he immediately stood up and ran away.

The moment Xi Le fell to the ground, the door was knocked open by the villagers, and a loud bang covered the sound of Xi Le rolling on the ground.

Eight or nine men rushed into the room, and rushed towards the bed first, and eight or nine men stabbed the quilt fiercely with knives.

Seeing that there was no movement inside, they turned over the quilt with a brush, but they did not see anyone. They continued to scan the room like wolves and tigers, but they did not see Xi Le.

They got angry immediately, and after seeing the open window in a blink of an eye, one of them shouted angrily: "He is still in the village, he must not have run far, chase after him!"

Heavy footsteps sounded, people left, and the room was quiet again. The wooden door was knocked into two pieces and fell to the side alone.

But not long after, someone came back again, and it was the villagers who broke the door. They followed the order and stood guard in front of the house to prevent Xi Le from coming back, but they didn't know.

Xi Le's feet were not fully healed. After running for a while, his right ankle began to ache.

He ran in a panic. It was still dark outside at this time, and he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly. He ran by instinct. He thought that he couldn't go back to the house now, so he might as well find a hidden place to hide overnight.

There was a deathly silence in the village, and the sound of her rapid breathing was repeated in Xi Le's ears.

He dragged one leg, as if he heard footsteps from far to near, he panicked, stopped, and walked towards the next room.

He hid in a blind corner, squatting down slowly against the corner, his back pressed against the wall, lowering his sense of existence, praying that those people could not see him, could not see him...

Sure enough, not long after Xi Le squatted down, he heard the man's heavy panting.

Suddenly, a person shouted in pain: "You stepped on me!"

"Oooh-"

The leading man frowned, turned his head and said, "Stop arguing!"

The villagers shut their mouths when they heard the words.

The man said: "The road is too dark. I don't know where the man went. Maybe we missed the corner where he was hiding... You, you, and you go get the bonfire."

The people who were named nodded, turned and left.

Xi Le's nerves were tense, watching them standing not far in front of him.

They just stood there and didn't go away, presumably waiting for someone to bring the bonfire.

"It's really a crime. He shouldn't have been kept in the first place..."

"Ah bah, let that person die..."

"I hate it, he must pay for my wife's life!"

The corners of Xi Le's mouth were tightly pursed, and he took a deep breath. To be honest, he was numb now, and he couldn't control other people's mouths, and he had no right to control them.

He kept his squatting posture, quietly moved out from the blind corner, fixed his eyes on the several black figures over there, for fear that they would see his figure, three people left, and four remained behind.

After Xi Le moved out, she moved there against the wall on the other side.

After he could no longer see the figures of those people, he quickly stood up and ran away.

He thought of a place where he might be able to escape tonight.

When Xi Le just moved to the other side, one of the four people seemed to see the shadow on this side, his eyes paused, and then he said: "There seems to be something over there, go, go and have a look, it won't Hide there..."

The four walked towards the blind corner, but to their disappointment, they did not find Xi Le.

One of them yelled, and hit the ground with a knife as if venting.

The next moment, a light in the house came on, and then the window was opened.

The person who opened the window was Zhang Xin. She was wearing a white dress and her face was too pale.

After seeing the villagers in front of her, she frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

When the four people saw this, one of them casually said: "Xi Le ran away, we came to look for him, he was the one who caused the disaster in the village!"

When Zhang Xin heard this, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Are you crazy?"

Hearing this, one person laughed a bit ugly, and said, "Yes, we are all crazy. We don't want to hear what the village chief said."

Zhang Xin looked at them, and there seemed to be some emotion in her eyes. Her mouth was a little bitter. She took a breath, left a word and closed the window.

"Then go find him."

The four of them looked at the closed window indifferently upon hearing this.

A villager said: "Nonsense."

Just at this time, the three people who had gone back to get the bonfire came back.

The fire illuminated the road under our feet, and also illuminated the place four or five meters away.

The villagers who were still asleep in the village were also awakened by these movements. They opened the door and looked at it. Some people joined in silently, while some closed the door and continued to sleep.

The original seven people gradually increased, and finally became more than ten people.

Xi Le, who ran away, returned to Muye's house. He stood at the back of the house, thinking that there must be someone guarding the door.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the tall roof.

Yes, he was going to climb to the roof and lie down all night.

The houses in this village have a strange shape, and the roofs are tiled.

but……

Xi Le frowned, thinking about how to climb up.

He went around to the other side and saw a window over there. Xi Le climbed to the window and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach the roof at all.

Xi Le wiped the sweat off his face, he said anxiously: "System, hurry up, how can you let me go up?"

System: "Climb up."

Xi Le: "..."

Secretly anxious, he stepped on the protruding part of the window and looked up to see how far away he was.

About three meters away.

A fire gradually appeared not far away, and Xi Le swallowed.

When Xi Le was thinking of a solution, his eyes flickered, his body lightened, and his whole body floated to the roof, and then he fell down uncontrollably.

Xi Le froze and lay down for a while before recovering.

Hearing the voice from below, a big rock fell steadily from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he also knew that the unnatural incident just now was caused by the whole system...

He said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Then the whole person lay on the roof in relief.

Don't think about the villagers below who are frantically searching for him, just want to see Makino when the sun rises tomorrow.

He misses him...

"Did you see that man come back?"

"No."

"Strange, the village is so big, where can he go...?"

"..."
