Guoguo had no way of determining the difference in strength between Chou Yeon and Vulture, so all she could do was run. She could not rely on anyone at a time like this. The distance between Qingdao and Suhang was at least a few hundred kilometers. Even if she informed Xu Yun, Xu Yun would not be able to arrive at the scene immediately.
Besides, Guoguo did not dare to retrieve her phone from the car. She could not determine if Vulture had other accomplices hiding next to their car, waiting for her to appear. If there was such a possibility, Guoguo would be walking right into a trap if she went to retrieve her phone. Guoguo had no one to call for help near the cemetery.
If there was really someone who could help her, it would probably be the "neighbors" lying under the tombstones around the Feng family's cemetery. Obviously, that was even more impossible. Guoguo knew that her identity had been exposed, so she could not trust anyone now. She could only trust herself. She had to hide alone until Xu Yun found her.
Guoguo might still be very young and did not have the speed to run, but during her time in the Dragon Brigade, she had gained extraordinary endurance. She could keep running and running! After stumbling out of the cemetery, Guoguo did not dare to go on the main road. If she appeared on the main road, she would be too obvious a target.
At the end of the day, Guoguo did all this because she could not determine the number of people on the other side. If Guoguo was sure that there was only one person on the other side, she might have dared to do the opposite.
Vulture's sense of smell was very sensitive. His judgment was also quite accurate. Of course, no matter what, he would first go to the car to make sure. After he did not see the Xixihoya girl, he resolutely chose to track and search on the small road.
Just like that, although Guoguo did not have the advantage in speed, she relied on her endurance to keep running into the distance. On the other hand, although Vulture was much faster than Guoguo, he was unwilling to give up any corner that could possibly be hidden. Vulture searched every inch of the ground, giving Guoguo enough time to run as far as possible.
Chou Yeon fell. In the pitch-black cemetery, even if the gravekeeper came out to patrol because of the strange sound, he did not go to this place due to his courage. The flashlight could not shine on Chou Yeon who was lying in a pool of blood. The tombstones flashed by under the light.
Soon, the gravekeeper gave up on investigating this matter. He cursed a few times in a bad mood, then left with the flashlight in his hand. Although the gravekeeper's basic mentality was to not be afraid of any demons and ghosts, he still had some lingering fear if there was any movement in the cemetery in the middle of the cemetery....
Even if he was a tomb keeper, his inner world could not be completely fearless. Fortunately, there shouldn't be any grave robbers in this cemetery. There shouldn't be any modern people who would throw gold, silver, jewels, and other valuables into the urn. Therefore, when the gravekeeper saw that there was no sound, he assumed that he had misheard and did not pursue the matter.
… …
Vulture's pursuit of Guoguo continued. Guoguo kept running as if her life depended on it. Soon, she arrived at a reservoir that was slightly famous in the Suhang area. This reservoir was famous for its wild fish species. The water was clean and unpolluted, so the fish in the reservoir were quite delicious.
On this warm day, there were naturally too many angling enthusiasts who came to fish at night. On the surface of the water around the reservoir, luminous fishing floats used for night fishing could be faintly seen. Every angling enthusiast was quietly staring at the luminous fishing floats in front of their fishing rods. Whenever a fishing float was swallowed with a whoosh, they would beautifully pull it back at the same time, causing those greedy fishes to directly take the bait.
Speaking of which, fishing was actually quite cruel. Sometimes, human entertainment was built on the pain of other species. Imagine if one day, all kinds of delicious pies and pastries fell from the sky. When you took a bite, a hook would break your mouth and directly lift you up … What kind of feeling would that be?
In any case, Guoguo felt that it was quite cruel. Therefore, even a fishing expert like Feng Qiansui would not bring Guoguo along when he went fishing. Guoguo had also never squatted in front of a fishing rod.
Veteran fishing enthusiasts had another hobby when fishing for wild fish in this reservoir. That was to swing a row of fishing rods and buckle them onto the frame. As long as the bells on the fishing rods rang, it meant that a big fish had taken the bait! Therefore, it was normal for a person to sit in front of a dozen fishing rods.
After running for more than ten miles, Guoguo did not feel any discomfort in her body. With her physical strength and endurance training during this period of time, running for another ten miles would not be a problem. However, there was one thing that Guoguo had to consider. The small path that she had just walked on was more winding. The person chasing her would stop and look for her at a place where she might be hiding.
The road beside this reservoir could be said to be unobstructed at a glance. As long as she followed, she could conclude that there was no place to hide in the vicinity. In this way, the other party would not stay for too long and would catch up in a short time. Guoguo knew that she was inferior in speed, so she had to be smart and find another way to resolve her current inferior position.
Obviously, the row of fishing rods in front of her was a very good choice for Guoguo! Guoguo took off her shoes and threw them far away on the other side of the road. Then, she quietly walked down a slope and came to the side of a group of fishing enthusiasts around the reservoir.
Ji Xiaolan had a poem that said: A pole, a paddle, a leaf boat, a foot-long pole, an inch hook. A clap, a call, and a laugh, one person alone occupies a river of autumn.
This was definitely a vivid portrayal of a fisherman who forgot about his feelings. Fishing was not only about the result of having fish. Whether or not there was a catch, it was completely a worldly possession. Fishing for mountains and waters was a kind of tranquil and detached state of mind. Fishing enthusiasts actually preferred to be in the midst of nature, to savor the tranquility, a kind of comfort, and a wisp of indifference. They wanted to comprehend the joy of the mountains and rivers. As for those who fished for the sake of fish, most of them were not true fishing enthusiasts. They just thought that they were.
There were also true fishing enthusiasts and fake fishing enthusiasts among the night fishermen. However, there was one thing that they all had in common. They all fished to relax and indulge in the feeling of being carefree, surpassing that of immortals.
Although sometimes, after a night of standing, sitting, walking by the reservoir, or wrestling with the fish, they would be tired to the point that their backs would ache and their limbs would be tired. However, the relaxation and tranquility of the heart could not be exchanged for anything.
Therefore, without exception, the fishermen's thoughts were all on the floating fishing float. No one noticed that a little girl was secretly squatting on a row of fishing poles that they had propped up in the dead of night.
In other words, as long as the bell on the pole in front of Guoguo did not ring, Guoguo could squat here for an entire night and no one would notice her existence. In the eyes of a fisherman, the only world in their eyes was the fishing float and their empty hearts.
Guoguo's choice was a wise one. She played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses. If she continued to escape, she could not ask for help from her pursuer. If her pursuer was not alone, she was not sure if she could still escape this distance. Moreover, she waited here for a while because she had hopes for Chou Yeon.
If the final victor was Chou Yeon, she would not have to waste too much effort to find her. Obviously, even Guoguo herself did not dare to believe this extravagant hope. If Chou Yeon was really confident in her ability to fight against her pursuer, she would not have let her escape.
Perhaps the moment Chou Yeon made this decision, she had already realized that she was no match for the person in front of her. She only did this to buy enough time for Guoguo.
