Chapter 5 Candles
After leaving the community, she didn't turn on the flashlight immediately. Along the way, there were almost no one flashes of flashlights flashing by. Su Mo decided to go forward in the dark and turn on the lights too big. She was not sure if she could go back safely if she encountered a robbery when the alarm was useless.
She hid herself well in the darkness, searched all the shops she knew along the way, and almost all the stores were closed, not to mention the supermarket. Su Mo searched around and found a shop selling candles with the door open.
The owner was a burly man nearly 2 meters tall, with a beard that grew to his temples and looked like a ferocious look. She didn't enter the store immediately but stood in the corner for a while.
A young couple in the store were buying candles. When they heard the price of a woman's voice suddenly became sharp. She pointed at the big man and scolded: "100 per pack? Just ten! Why don't you grab it?"
The big man raised his eyebrows, slapped his strong arms on the table, his eyes emitted a fierce light, and said bluntly: "If you can afford it, buy it. If you can't afford it, get out. Don't delay my business."
The table was clattered, and the couple trembled with fear and unhappy to be the sucker. They stood in the store for a while but chose to return empty-handed.
Seeing the two disappearing into the darkness, Su Mo took out three red tickets, put one hand into his pants and tightened the dagger on his waist. He lowered his hat and walked into the store where he slaughtered people, and tried to lower his voice as much as possible, making him look hoarse and mature: "Three packs of candles".
The big man lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, spit out a mouthful of smoke and looked at her, and said with a rough voice: "Three Hundred".
Su Mo didn't talk nonsense to him and threw the money on the counter. Seeing her so cheerful, he didn't immediately throw three packs of candles for her. After taking the candle, she turned around and left the store.
Walking back to the dark street, she pulled her clothes and wrapped the candles in. Before she could walk a few steps, Su Mo felt the sound of footsteps behind her, and someone followed her! She realized this problem and was shocked and sweated in cold sweat. She held the candle and ran wildly.
The steps behind immediately raised their speed and got closer and closer to her. Seeing that they were about to catch up with her, Su Mo pulled out the dagger from his waist and entered the alley beside him.
The voices of speech from the entrance of the alley
"This woman is really good at running away, I'm exhausted." The woman who was blocking the alley was panting and spitting on the ground, pointing to the man's nose and scolding: "If there is no light, my eyes will be lost. If you can't get this candle, I will be with you!"
"I know, I know, please be at the door and don't let her run away."
It turned out that the couple who just bought the candle did not go far. When they turned back, they happened to see Su Mo. When they saw her alone, they just started to think about it.
"Girl, come out, I just want candles, I promise not to hurt you." The man's voice echoed in the alley. He picked up a stick and held it in his hand and walked in slowly.
Su Mo, who was hiding behind the trash can, held the dagger tightly, and a layer of sweat broke out in the palm of her hand. The man got closer and closer, and her heart was beating like thunder. She knew that if she was caught, the fate would not be much better. Now she regretted why she didn't look for Lu Chen with shame.
There is absolutely no good result when you fight this situation. Su Mo thought for a while and then stood up. She pressed her voice and pretended to be scared, "Don't hurt me, I can give you the candle."
The man was happy when she heard that she was so aware of her, but he didn't relax his vigilance: "Put the candles on the ground and walk out slowly."
Su Mo obediently took the candle out of her clothes and walked into the middle of the alley to put it down, and took a few steps back. Seeing her like this, the man couldn't help but relax and walked over.
Just as he bent down and was about to pick up the candle on the ground, Su Mo rushed over and inserted it hard into the man's back.
Heart-wrenching screams rang in the alley, and the man fell to the ground in pain and blood flowed from his back. He never thought that a woman with no power would go out with a knife. The woman guarding outside suddenly panicked and she shouted inward: "What's wrong!"
Drawing out the dagger, a stream of blood squirted on Su Mo's face. This was the first time she had a knife to cut people, but she didn't care about her fear that she would pick up the candle on the ground and rushed out of the alley.
Seeing Su Mo running out with a dagger dripping blood, the woman subconsciously avoided it in fear, and watched her run away and disappear into the darkness.
She ran back to the community in one breath, and Su Mo went straight to the door of the house. The scene in front of her really shocked her. The table she used to block the door of the house was pulled open and someone went in!
She put the candle at the door, took a deep breath and walked in sideways. Unexpectedly, it was nothing but Lu Chen who sat on her sofa, and there was a man with his mouth tied up at his feet.
Seeing that she was in a mess, the blood on the dagger had not dried up yet, Lu Chen stood up and walked to her side and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Su Mo's eyes turned red when he saw him, and tears fell down. The emotions that had been accumulated in his heart over the past few days were pouring out: "I want to go out to buy it if there is no candle at home, and then someone robbed me and stabbed me..."
After listening to her sobbing and talking silently, Lu Chen looked at her with admiration. He really couldn't have imagined that such a small person could stab an adult man.
She finally felt much better if she could have someone quietly let Su Mo express her emotions. Then she looked at the person who was tied up on the ground, and she looked familiar: "What's going on with this person?"
"I happened to catch the stealing of something" Lu Chen explained concisely.
Su Mo walked to the man and squatted down and looked at him carefully before remembering that he was not a person living on the third floor. If you remember correctly, he was called Xinlei. She had talked a few words before. She pulled out the smelly socks from a man's mouth. Isn't this her socks... As soon as he could speak, the other party begged to speak:
"I never dared to do it anymore. I just wanted to get some food and candles. I've been hungry for three days."
Su Mo kicked him in the face and said angrily: "Is this the reason why you steal something? You won't come to borrow it." He kicked him a few more times in confusion, and the other party exclaimed in pain.
"Do you want to solve it for you?" Lu Chen's voice was as cold as ice. Su Mo turned around and saw that he took out a military stick from somewhere, and his swing turned into three-section lengths.
Xin Lei, who was tied up, was sweating coldly and begging for mercy. He was just starving! This man was so scary. Su Mo was also afraid. She hurried over and held the man's stick, and smiled and said, "This murder is not good. If you have to pay legal responsibility, it is also a forced person by life."
Lu Chen glanced at her and mocked, "It's just that he doesn't dare to come back. What are you thinking?" He had been in the military camp for a long time and felt that if he could solve things with force, he should not waste his brain.
"Oh" Su Mo's mouth twitched. It was really easy for this man to think of it. She let go of the stick and picked up the socks that she had just pulled out of the mouth and stuffed them back. She complained: "Don't hit it here either. Go to the corridor, I'll wash the carpet."
Lu Chen: "..."
Xinlei: "..."
