happy apocalypse

Chapter 75
I was startled, but subconsciously stretched out my hand to cover my mouth, not letting the scream I was about to utter.

Li Cheng reacted quickly, and when the black shadow fell down, he wanted to lift his leg and kick it.

But Jiang Zhi reacted faster than Li Cheng. He was behind Li Cheng, but before Li Cheng's leg kicked the black shadow, he caught the thing, and at the same time freed up one hand to block Li Cheng's kick. leg.

After we all calmed down, we saw that what Jiang Zhi caught was a stool, and there were several stools in the doorway near the anti-theft door.We glanced at each other. This Li Mingjun was really cautious. He was afraid that someone would pry the door at night, so he built a few stools inside the door. The top one was tilted. If you fall down, one kind of situation is to hit the person coming and make a sound, and another kind of situation is that the person reacts quickly and dodges, the stool falls to the ground, or like Li Cheng, when he sees an unknown object, he lifts his foot and kicks it. In either case, the final result will wake up the homeowner.

There are few people like Jiang Zhi who can see in the dark and catch the stool.

It seems that here, we can find something.

Li Mingjun's house is very clean. Of course it can't be compared with when there was water and electricity. Compared with the first floor, it is very clean. I shone a flashlight on the floor. There is only a layer of floating dust and a few footprints on the floor. There is nothing in the trash can at the door. Any garbage, when I went to the kitchen to search, I didn't smell any peculiar smell, and I didn't see any mess. Never found anything to eat again.

After returning to the living room, everyone exchanged glances and then withdrew.

Li Cheng said that today he will go to all the houses below the third floor, and when Li Mingjun gets up tomorrow, he will see the bench lying on the ground at the door, plus the footprints on the floor, so he must know that someone came to the house yesterday.Maybe the movement in the stairway will be monitored at night, so we have to go to all the houses as soon as possible.

We have no complaints, there are only two families on the second floor below the third floor. We opened the upstairs door of Grandma Li's house. The house is cold and no one has lived in it for a long time.Opposite is a family of three, all normal.

Finally, I went to Aunt Zhang’s house on the 6th floor. Aunt Zhang’s house had enough stock. The mutton and beef sold in the supermarket were put on the balcony in rolls, and the rice was also dropped high by the wall.There are also several boxes of milk, canned food, and biscuits, as well as many snacks such as chicken feet with pickled peppers and potato chips.

I'm so angry, you said you have so much stock in your house, why do you come to my house to take advantage of it.Your kid is still thinking about evicting our house. I thought it was because their family was so poor that they couldn’t get rid of it, so they had evil thoughts.I finally concluded that there is nothing good in this family.

We went to these six houses on this day, but found nothing.But we summed it up and felt that Li Mingjun on the third floor was too cautious.But we can't conclude that he is a murderer just because he is careful. We need to compare horizontally before we can make a final judgment.

We didn't hear any noise from the third floor when we were at home during the day the next day. It seems that Li Mingjun didn't say anything about the thieves coming to the house.It's a little strange.

In the evening, we will go to the remaining few other houses to see.

Jiang Zhi looked at me when he was going out and said, "You don't have to go, and you won't be able to help much if you go, just stay at home."

After I heard this, I pursed my lips angrily, and watched Jiang Zhi and Li Cheng, who was laughing, leave.Really, even if I'm really useless, you don't have to say it so bluntly, you don't know how to save me some face.

I was angry on the sofa, and the self-healing system took effect after a while, and I became bored again, so I followed Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother and turned on the TV. I was afraid that it would affect everyone who was still sleeping in the bedroom. Headphones for watching movies.

Finally after I watched a movie, they came back.

Still nothing.This is strange, the murderer must belong to our unit, but we have searched all the houses, but we still haven't found anything. Could it be that we ate all the rice and pork? It's impossible. Those older people The whole family can't finish the food in a week, so how could it disappear in just 2 or 3 days?

We sat down together and analyzed it. On the surface, everyone in this unit has no problems.But after thinking about it deeply, I felt that Li Mingjun's family was very suspicious, but I couldn't tell what was wrong?
That night, no matter how much we thought about it, we couldn't come up with anything, so we let this matter go, because it will be February 2015, 2, and it will be the Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year has always been the grandest, busiest and most important traditional festival in our country. No matter what the situation is, everyone has to spend this day differently. We remove the old and bring out the new, welcome the new, and welcome the good fortune. Get rid of it and pray that the new year will be a bumper year.

This is what we need most now, to be hopeful about life.So the whole family mobilized, cleaned the house, and got up early on the [-]th day to prepare.In the past, when the conditions were difficult, it was necessary to take a bath. Today we extravagantly boiled water and gave everyone a large bucket of bath water. Jiang Zhi and Li Cheng kept bringing snow from downstairs, and Weiwei and I kept turning the snow into water, and then Boil it, let it cool, and serve all the children and old people before it's our turn.

I asked Li Cheng and Weiwei to wash first, and Jiang Zhi and I last. The main reason is that we can always wash in the space, so we don't have much desire to take a bath.

Just taking a shower is a waste of time in the morning, but I am happy to see my family members are clean and rosy.

Li Cheng looked at everyone's clean and tidy clothes and suddenly said, "There's something wrong with that Li Mingjun."

Jiang Zhi's expression became serious and he said, "His house is too clean."

I looked at them and thought in my heart. The more I thought about it, the more abnormal I felt. I hesitated and said: "His family has too few supplies, how can it be enough for a big man? He should have been emaciated and thinner in the past three months or so, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn’t seem to have changed much from before.”

The three of us fell silent for a moment in front of the sofa. Jiang Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, since he is suspicious, he must not be able to run away. Let's celebrate the New Year first, and we can't be in a good mood for the New Year just because of those scumbags." No, the kids will be scared again soon."

In the few days when Grandma Li was killed, the three children were all frightened, especially An An, who cried and cried when she fell asleep at night, and could not wake up. Well, Jiang Zhi asked me to go back to the space and draw a few child surprise symbols to see if it would be useful.Not to mention, the book that the old man sold me was really useful. After I slapped the child's surprise charm on An An, An An slowly calmed down.I am optimistic that it will be used by both Xuanxuan and Hanhan.

Thinking about it now, I still feel sorry for the child's discomfort at that time, and I am determined not to scare the children anymore.

Li Cheng also agreed, so we prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together.

The tradition in our family is to have a reunion dinner at 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then eat dumplings at 12 o'clock in the evening.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner menu was found on my computer, just to have a good reunion year in this ice and snow world.Let the children who have been too quiet these days because of Grandma Li happy.

In the kitchen, Chef Jiang Zhi, I am the technical guide, and Weiwei is doing chores.

For the New Year’s Eve dinner, there are Fulu Duck, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Pickled Fish, Roasted Chicken Legs, Roasted Goose, Stewed Sweet Potatoes with Dog Meat, Braised Beef, Braised Prawns, Spicy Crab, Stir-fried Escargot, Stir-fried Pork with Garlic Moss, Fried Eggs with Garlic Sprouts, Vegetarian Stir-fried potato shreds, cold lotus root slices, shredded taro, egg yolk and pumpkin.

The 16 dishes made the three of us busy for 3 hours. Jiang Zhi also said that thanks to the availability of our home appliances, there are so many stoves that we can't finish it until 3 pm.

At 3 o'clock, our family of 8 adults and 3 children gathered around the dining table.The old man was a little moved when he saw the carefully prepared meals on this table.

It is customary to say some auspicious words before eating, and everyone recommended Jiang's father to say it first.Father Jiang raised his wine glass without pretense, and said to everyone: "I'm going to say it first, alas, every year in the past, my wish was that my grandson can study well, so that he can get into a good university in the future, and that the children can study hard." I have made some progress in my career and paid a lot of money. But this year, looking at the snow outside, I hope that every year in the future will be like today, and the whole family can get together and have a reunion dinner Just do it."

After Dad Jiang finished speaking, we were all a little silent.Father Jiang’s wish is not easy to come true in the last days, but I promise silently in my heart that I will do my best to protect my family and everyone I care about.

Then everyone talked about their New Year's resolutions, and let the children say it, and what they said moved us even more.

The first is Hanhan, he said: "Mom and Dad, I am 8 years old now, I am an older child, I will protect you well. Dad, I will practice martial arts well, and I will help you when you fight in the future. You can't get hurt anymore. Mom, you have to listen to me in the future, so you can't always make mistakes. "

After hearing what Hanhan said, the four old people looked at our husband and wife jealously, and they were not included in Hanhan's wish.I'm actually very speechless, who likes to let his 8-year-old son say that he always makes mistakes, and besides, I don't always make mistakes!

Then came Xuanxuan, she asked in a low voice: "Mom, can you really say anything?"

Seeing us all nodding, she said, "I hope I don't see grandma and dad again, I hate them." She then glanced at her mother quickly.

Weiwei's eyes turned red when she heard her girl's New Year's wish, and she pulled Xuanxuan into her arms. It seems that when her grandma went to the coffee shop to ask for supplies last time, she still scared her.In her little heart, she also knew that it was her father's arrival that deprived her of a warm home and food to satisfy her hunger.

"Xuanxuan, don't worry, you will live with Hanhan and An'an in the future. Let's go back to the mountains together when the snow is small. Your father and grandma can't be found there. If they still come, let Uncle Jiang and An An Uncle Li beat them away, okay?" I said while stroking Xuanxuan's little head.

"Okay." The child's mind is still very simple. Hearing me say that, she thinks her wish has come true, and she is very happy.

Finally, An An, he thought for a while and said, "I miss my grandma, I want her back. I also miss my father, I hope my father can come back soon, so that I can go with you, Aunt Qu."

We were all silent when we heard An An's words. An An is considered an orphan now, his grandma can't come back, and his father is probably not enough. According to him, he has to wait here until his father comes back.

An An saw that we were all silent after he said his wish, and I was a little overwhelmed. I said quickly: "An An, isn't Grandma always by our side? When you miss her, look up at the stars, the brightest star It must be grandma. And your father..." I really didn't know how to tell my child that his father would not come back, when there was a loud knock on the door of our house. (To be continued.)
