Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 5 The dark figure at night

"Are you pitying me?"

Hinazuki Kana buried her face in her knees and did not look at Xia Tingfei.

"Why do I need you to be so pitiful?"

"As long as you tell my mother, I must go with you even if I don't want to."

"You're still asking me what I'm doing?"

Hinazuki Kana's sarcastic words were colder than snow and sharper than ice.

It was like a child's solemn call to "never talk to you again", with a hint of childish resentment and solemnity.

"If you could say these things to your mother, maybe you wouldn't need to pity me at all."

Xia Tingfei exhaled hot air and placed a bag of milk next to Hinazuki Kana: "An old woman gave it to me."

After saying that, Xia Tingfei walked out of the warehouse without any hesitation and closed the door.

"It's so cold."

He sighed, and the snow that Hinazuki Kana's mother had just stepped on was covered with another layer of pure white snow.

Xia Tingfei's home is at No. [3-2-5], which is not too close to here, but a bit far.

Walking on the asphalt road covered with snowflakes, only the tall street lamps on both sides illuminated the darkness.

Stepping on the snow makes it crunchy, which is a bit of fun.

Even though he is only a high school student now, Xia Tingfei is not afraid that he will be robbed or the like.

It's not that they trust the order here. On the contrary, because this is a slum area, there are many gangsters and homeless people.

His only source of confidence was a short red and white fire ax in his backpack.

Arriving at his home without encountering anything, Xia Tingfei walked straight to the door.

He shook off the snow all over his body and took out the key to the security door.

Because this is a slum area, the doors of every house are heavy security doors.

However, Xia Tingfei even paid for the installation of security windows.

Because people here only have the habit of installing anti-theft doors, not anti-theft windows.

"I am back."

He shouted at the entrance and pressed the yellow light bulb switch.

The house is very small, and the living room can only accommodate a sofa, a table, and a TV, so it becomes crowded and extremely narrow.

But although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and two bedrooms are all fully equipped.

He casually took out a bowl of leftover rice from the refrigerator, and took out two eggs and placed them in the kitchen to thaw.

Xia Tingfei went into the bathroom and took a hot shower, then lay down in the bathtub.

"Ah~~"

He made a tired voice like a social animal: "Tomorrow, I have to work after school. The money in hand is not enough."

He sighed, wondering where he would get some money tomorrow.

High school students like him can only work part-time as part-time jobs, which are limited by time.

The money is not bad, as long as you save a little, it is still barely enough for your own use.

But Xia Tingfei still wants to use his abilities to complete tasks and obtain money.

But working part-time is a bit of a waste of his ability.

Xia Tingfei sighed, got up and left the bathroom. After drying himself, he cut a small handful of leaves from the green onion planted in the water bowl on the windowsill and went to the kitchen.

Pour a little oil and beat in the eggs.

After frying the egg drop, add cold rice.When it's almost done, add the chopped green onions and stir-fry a few times.

Xia Tingfei got fried rice that he could barely eat.

Stiff, cold and choked.

He didn't choose, just ate casually. At least it was a bowl of hot rice.

Most people here eat little better than this, mostly half-price lunch boxes bought from convenience stores that have expired.Apart from being cheap enough, there are no other advantages.

"Tomorrow, go to Morikawa and find some work to do."

Although Yoshida Ward is one of the thirteen wards of Third New Tokyo, it is called a rural area by the people of Third New Tokyo.

Morikawa is a residential area on the edge of Yoshida District. It has many parks, full greenery, and the best scenery in Yoshida District.

The people living there are all elderly people, and the houses are elegantly built by one family.

Presumably, he would be more generous with his actions, and it would be easier for him to make money.

Having made up his mind, Xia Tingfei finished the fried rice casually, stuffed the plate into the sink, rinsed his mouth and got ready for bed.

Check whether the security door and anti-theft chain are installed, close the windows and draw the curtains.

After checking the lights, he returned to the bedroom.

The bed in the bedroom is an extremely cheap wooden bed, lined with a thick mattress with weak elasticity.

The blanket is plain white and plush.

It was in this bed that I woke up.There is only an acceptance letter at hand, and the only thing that is useful is this empty home.

Without thinking too much, Xia Tingfei lay on the bed with the fire ax under his pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

The night is like ink, and the moon is like a hook.

I don't know how long it took, but Xia Tingfei, who was sleeping, suddenly heard some kind of creaking sound, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Drunks causing trouble?

An idea popped into his head, but he immediately denied it.

In this damn cold weather, no drunkard would come out looking for death.

Carrying a fire ax, he bent over like a cat and silently opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.

There is only one inward-facing casement window in the living room outside the entire house. The window surface is made of inferior laminated glass and the edge is made of aluminum alloy.

It uses a hinge switch, which is very anti-theft, not to mention the existence of anti-theft windows outside.

But even so, he didn't dare to turn on the light. He could only try his best to crawl on the floor without making any sound, and looked at the gray curtains covering the window.

The bright moonlight casts the shadow of the man outside on the curtains.

"The tall figure should be an adult. He is not staggering in his movements, and he should not be a drunk. He is carrying a large bag behind him, which should contain heavy crime tools."

"Who is it? Is this the murderer who may kill Hinazuki Kana in the future?" Xia Tingfei guessed in his heart, and he tried his best to look at the label on the person's head!

As long as you see that label, you will know who he is!

My own ability is to be able to easily see through a piece of paper the label on the opposite side of my head.But it is not that easy to pass through a layer of curtains.

【Predator】

Xia Tingfei opened his eyes and saw the vague label.

This label is blood red and very ominous.

"Crack Kacha!"

The door handle was turned constantly, and the steel lock tongue kept rubbing.

This sound sounded extremely unpleasant on the quiet snowy night.

The hand holding the fire ax tightened again and again, Xia Tingfei did not dare to make the slightest move.

After a long time, the sound finally stopped.

"Tsk."

A very unhappy voice came from outside the door.

The man seemed to think that he had failed, which made him very angry, so he could only make such an angry tut sound.

The man seemed to have given up, and the sound of his shoes crunching on the snow gradually faded away.

Xia Tingfei carried the fire ax and slowly returned to his house.

"Then? Hinazuki Kana, what will happen?"
