Chapter 895 - 894: Someone Comes at Midnight
Shi Jianbin tightly grasped the powder in his hand, while Shi Jiantong looked at him with both pain and conflict, glancing at the woman tracking them outside, saying nothing in the end.Brother, I can only put you in a difficult position temporarily.
Shi Jianbin did not struggle for long; he knew Beisitian planned to enter the lion’s den, and he must cure his eyes quickly to help her!
Shi Jianbin regained his composure, knowing he had to wait for the right moment. This revealed his patience, as the talisman powder to heal his eyes was in his hand, but he did not consume it recklessly; it was necessary to wait for the Shi Family’s chance to retaliate, otherwise early exposure risked danger.
In the dead of night, the bright moon illuminated the village path until it was clean and bright; without city lights, the moon seemed extraordinarily radiant.
At this moment, a figure flashed swiftly across the village path; if not observed closely, one would think it was swaying tree shadows, but there was no tree around the village houses, nor was there any wind blowing.
Shi Jianbin found himself awake, replaying the events of the day in his mind repeatedly; although many details were not worth pondering, when it involved Beisitian, he couldn’t help revisiting them again and again.
No worries about waking up early tomorrow, no one cares now.
He thought self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, he heard a slight rustling under his bed; in such a late night, any noise could be heard clearly, Shi Jianbin’s eyes moved slightly, and he lay silently on the bed.
Could it be a wild animal sneaking into the village?
Knock, knock, knock.
The knocking sound was rhythmic, very faint, but it was the second time it echoed; Shi Jianbin sat up straight, knowing it wasn’t a beast.
He got out of bed and groped his way to the window, asking quietly, "Who is it?"
After a moment, the sound moved upward, reaching the window, and at that moment Shi Jianbin realized the person outside intended him to open the window.
Despite not being a Peach Blossom Spring where doors remained open, it was improbable for thieves to infiltrate this small mountain village; it most likely was a villager.
Though Shi Jianbin suspected, he didn’t dare act recklessly, standing beside the window with a flat but heavy stone in hand, which he used to prop a table leg.
He gently opened a gap, about to ask who it was, when something flew in, fell to the ground with a thud, and afterward faint footsteps sounded, the person left.
Shi Jianbin securely shut the window, then felt around the source of the sound, picking up what appeared to be paper wrapped around a stone thrown in.
The paper must have writing, though he couldn’t read it now and must wait until Shi Jiantong came tomorrow to read it aloud.
Who was this person, surely not Shi Family members, perhaps someone aiding Beisitian secretly?
As Shi Jianbin puzzled over this, he drifted off to sleep.
The next day when Shi Jiantong arrived, Shi Jianbin hadn’t woken yet, and after sitting for a while, he finally opened his eyes.
Shi Jianbin groped his way to the table, and when Shi Jiantong pulled out a bench for him, he grasped Shi Jiantong’s hand and squeezed it.
Shi Jiantong understood, casually glancing outside; the woman wasn’t keeping watch.
"No problem," Shi Jiantong whispered.
Shi Jianbin took out the note kept close to him and showed it, "What’s written on the paper?"
Shi Jiantong paused, glanced at it, then his expression changed slightly, "Sister Bei says do not act rashly; wait for the right moment."
The note wasn’t penned by Beisitian, yet it conveyed her intentions.
"Who sent it?" Shi Jiantong asked softly.
Shi Jianbin shook his head, "Came in the middle of the night, didn’t see anyone."
So mysterious?
There’s also a possibility; someone in this village avoids those women’s surveillance.
If that’s the case, guessing who it might be isn’t hard...
Shi Jiantong pondered briefly, recalling a teenager who had been visiting Beisitian’s place for meals recently; this teenager differed from other kids, being the oldest among them.
His age was striking, as every child in the village ranged between four to thirteen or fourteen years old, while he was already sixteen, with a perpetually cold face, never seen smiling.
He previously caught Shi Jianbin’s attention, yet the teenager responded indifferently to everyone; with women watching, there was no opportunity to speak.
Lately spotted heading to Beisitian’s place frequently, could it be?
But wasn’t the boy controlled by that organization?
Shi Jiantong and Shi Jianbin dared not delve deeply, exchanged a few simple key remarks, held an understanding, and Shi Jiantong departed, needing to inform the Third Elder, then relay the message to several important family members.
The Shi Family went into hiding, waiting for the opportunity Beisitian mentioned.
On the other side, once Beisitian got in the car, she was driven toward the mountain road away from the village.
Caus such a commotion, Zhong Yuan should have known she left the village, thus Hawkeye must know too.
This time, perhaps they could seize the chance to locate the enemy’s base, capturing them all, freeing her from constant worry.
Once aboard, Beisitian settled down; these individuals deemed her discerning, ignoring her, and began resting with closed eyes, seemingly preparing for future actions.
The car contained four people including her, plus the driver, each wearing black T-shirts with Qing Yan markers on the left chest, but their spirit was both abundant and lacking.
Interestingly, these two men served as pseudo-bodyguards; their spirit seemed ordinary, whereas the driver’s spirit was unusual!
At least a Mystic Doctor!
Why the need to obscure so?
Beisitian’s eyes flickered; matters appeared overly simple.
Two jeeps in total, one always drove ahead, yet descended the mountain road midway, parting from Beisitian’s vehicle.
Beisitian sensed the place that car headed might very well be another Blood Circle!
Hidden circles deep in the mountains avoid detection, and hearing Xing Jun eavesdrop on those women’s talks revealed the Blood Circle’s lifespan rarely exceeds two years, inevitably relocating after.
This explains Hawkeye’s hardship locating the opponent; their concealment remains extraordinarily intricate, and their tricks ever-changing, what Xing Jun shared was merely a glimpse.
If not this difficulty, so many abducted children, this organization conducting heinous deeds would’ve been uncovered and incited public outrage long ago!
Hawkeye had long investigated, unfortunately misled by deliberate false clues from the opponent, unable to piece together clarity until recently.
It’s not entirely Hawkeye’s inefficiency; the organization diligently guarded against Hawkeye, as only Hawkeye showed formidable cohesion and execution, skilled with fighting talismans.
