Chapter 59: Brother Li Mo
Lin Xiaoxiao was very happy, "Neighbors, help each other, you rub my food, I rub your car." ”
After coming out of the sequencing center, taking off his lab coat and changing into his own clothes, Li Bai found that there were 17 missed calls on his mobile phone in his clothes pocket, and they were all the same person - Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang is the nanny he hired to take care of his brother, so many missed calls, could it be that my brother has an accident?
Call back, "Aunt Zhang, is something happening to my brother?"
"Mr. Li, Xiaomo went to bed early at night, went to bed at 8 o'clock, suddenly woke up at 9:30, and then kept talking nonsense, in a bad mood, and wanted to find his brother, I couldn't call you, no way, Xiaomo had to go out, I couldn't stop him and could only take him to your bachelor apartment, and now we are at your doorstep. ”
"Okay, I'll go back right away. ”
Li Bai's face was anxious, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"My brother went to my bachelor apartment, I'm going back quickly. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao heard Yu Fei say that Li Bai has a twin brother who is autistic, but he has never met.
On the way, Li Baiche drove fast and soon arrived at Xinhua Apartment.
took the elevator upstairs, arrived at the floor, and just got out of the elevator door, Lin Xiaoxiao found two people standing in front of Li Bai's single apartment.
An aunt in her 50s, and a young man in her 20s, look eight or nine points similar to Li Bai.
This should be Li Bai's twin brother.
"Brother!" Li Bai wanted to run in front of the young man.
"Brother, brother......"
The elder brother ran over and hugged Li Bai's arm, feeling very trusting and dependent on Li Bai.
"Brother, are you having a nightmare? Do you want me to go back and live with you in the old mansion?" Li Bai asked softly.
"No, Xiaomo won't go back, the old house is not good, there are ghosts in the old house, Xiaomo wants to live with his younger brother. ”
Li Bai frowned slightly, there are ghosts? There are ghosts in the old house? And this word came out of the mouth of his elder brother Li Mo, his brother had never said such things before, someone must have taught him.
Before looking for Aunt Zhang to take care of his brother, he had already told Aunt Zhang about the precautions, if there are ghosts in an old house like this to scare people, it will definitely not come from Aunt Zhang's mouth.
Li Bai looked at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Who did my brother contact with today?"
"At noon today, your Uncle Jian came to see Xiaomo, and went to the park to sketch in the afternoon, and he didn't talk to anyone in the park. ”
"Briefly?"
"Yes, that's him. When he came, I happened to be cooking lunch, so I asked him to play with Xiaomo for a while, and I was going to leave him to eat with me after cooking, but he left, and the two of us chatted for more than half an hour. ”
Li Bai's face was gloomy, Lin Xiaoxiao had never seen him with such a face.
Aunt Zhang saw Lin Xiaoxiao staring at this side after Li Bai, so she nodded and said hello.
Li Bai was also shocked that Lin Xiaoxiao was still behind him, so he immediately turned around and introduced to her, "This is my twin brother Li Mo."
Brother, this is my colleague and neighbor Lin Xiaoxiao. ”
"Brother Li Mo, hello, I'm Lin Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiaoxiao"
"Little ......" Li Mo just repeated Lin Xiaoxiao's name, but did not raise his eyes to look at her, and seemed to deliberately avoid eye contact.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of Li Bai and Li Mo, Lin Xiaoxiao did not stay long, opened the door of his room, said goodbye, and then closed the door.
Quietly listening to the sound outside the door, Li Bai opened the door, the footsteps of the three people entering the room, and then closed the door, the room was very soundproof, and no more sound could be heard after that.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, Li Bai is really not easy, his parents are dead, and he has to take care of an autistic brother.
Last time Jian Yi, the big boss, went to the emergency office to find Li Bai, she thought that the relationship between the two was very good, and today looking at Li Bai's expression when he heard Jian Yi's name, it seems that things are not as they seem.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned on the door in a daze.
There is an autistic person at home, which is a great burden for the family, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of him, autistic people have social and cognitive disabilities, and sometimes lose their temper, Li Mo suddenly appeared in front of Li Bai's door in the middle of the night, and his mental state did not look very good, I don't know if Li Bai can cope with it.
There was still a half-pot of soup on the table not far away, it was the corn rib soup she specially cooked in the evening, she drank a bowl, and brought half of it to Li Bai to the emergency office, and now Li Bai's brother Li Mo is here, and the remaining half-pot soup just has a place to go.
Turning on the natural gas stove and boiling the rest of the soup hot, she knocked on the door of the next room with a heat-proof cotton glove directly with the casserole.
The door opened, Aunt Zhang stood at the door, and when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao and the casserole in her hand, Aunt Zhang smiled, "Come to Mr. Li?"
"Well, come and deliver the soup, corn rib soup, it's just hot, and it can be used as a supper. ”
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's voice, Li Bai walked over from the living room.
Lin Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of Li Mo sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
It seems to be in good spirits and should be fine.
"Corn rib soup, it's the same pot you drank at night, here's the leftovers, give it to Brother Li Mo, I hope he will like it. ”
Li Bai smiled, turned back to his brother Li Mo, who was watching TV in the living room, and shouted, "Brother, the neighbor Xiaoxiao brought you soup." ”
Li Mo's eyes were fixed on the TV, and after a while, he turned his head to stare at the casserole, and then turned back to continue watching TV.
"Brother, it's corn rib soup, you like to drink. ”
Li Mo's eyes were raised, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he still sat on the sofa.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the casserole, and the aroma of the soup instantly spread.
"Corn rib soup with bean skin in it. Lin Xiaoxiao deliberately lengthened the sound of the word bean skin.
Li Mo suddenly stood up, walked straight over, and looked into the casserole.
The thick broth was filled with a few pieces of corn, a few bean skins, and most of them pork ribs.
"Drink soup!"
Li Mo only said two words, but his expression was very clear, he was interested in this half pot of soup.
Aunt Zhang brought the soup into the house.
Lin Xiaoxiao was about to go back to her home, but Li Bai grabbed her and asked, "How do you know that my brother likes to eat bean skin?"
"Guess, I should say it's speculation, I used to take care of autistic people when I was a volunteer, and many of them liked to eat soy products, especially chewy tofu skin. ”
"Thank you......"
Li Bai was about to say thank you, when suddenly, there was a "clang" in the kitchen.
Looking back, my brother Li Mo was in the dining room, and Aunt Zhang was in the kitchen.
Li Bai approached the kitchen and found Aunt Zhang holding her arm, and there were porcelain bowl fragments everywhere on the ground.
"Burned?" Li Bai asked worriedly.
"Nope. Aunt Zhang shook her head, "I feel like a bug is biting my arm." ”
Bugger?
After dealing with red fire ants for a day today, and mentioning insects, Li Bai and Lin Xiaoxiao were nervous.
Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the kitchen and checked on Aunt Zhang.
She had a distinct red spot on her arm, swollen around it, and a small blister in the middle.
"Have you ever been to the vicinity of Oasis Park today?" asked Lin Xiaoxiao as she checked.
Aunt Zhang thought for a while, "I've been, I accompanied Xiaomo out to sketch this evening, and I went to Oasis Park." ”
