Chapter 14: The Lonely Old Man
In the city at night, there is always some darkness in the corners that cannot be dispelled. Maybe there's something more than you expected, or maybe there's disgusting savagery and sin spreading there.
"Bang Bang Bang"
On the construction site, the sound of fierce fights was heard, the sound of fists hitting the flesh, and someone was thrown out directly, groaning in pain as they hit the ground.
"Snort"
There seemed to be a piercing buzzing sound, and the entire construction site was instantly quiet, and the figures fighting with each other disappeared in an instant.
Dagu was already very sleepy, he rubbed his eyes, and Xincheng stopped the car, jumped out of the car first, and said, "We have arrived"
"Well, this is the first case" Dagu yawned and walked out of the car with the digging well, the two of them were not in a good state, and the digging well was even better than the sleeping silkworm.
"This is the fifth day in a row that this has happened missing," Digging Well rubbed his sleepy eyes, shook his head, and said, "What a boring alien this must be"
Da Gu smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "My biological clock has been completely reversed."
Xincheng was in good spirits, and he greeted the patrol officer and immediately asked, "Who was attacked?"
A man raised his hand, "It's me who seems to be testing how capable I am." ”
"He's so tall," he said, gesturing overhead, and exclaimed urgently, "his face is iron-blue."
"Didn't you just say that your face is red?" the patrolman interjected.
"It's not that the face was iron blue at first, but then somehow it turned red. The woman on the side shouted with an oath.
Xincheng was also confused, and pouted helplessly: "What is the situation?"
Seeing that the woman seems to be the man's girlfriend, Xincheng, as a single dog, is even more hurt.
The man finally made a judgment, and he waved his arms and shouted, "There are two, one blue and one red!"
A few streets away from the place of inquiry, it is a Japanese-style house in the middle of the city, and it is warmly lit and looks like a wooden house in a steel jungle.
As the space in the courtyard fluctuated, a red alien creature suddenly appeared, perhaps because of the weakness of its body, which made it fall to the ground weakly before it could stand firmly.
"Here it is, here it is"
In the room, an old voice sounded, it was an old woman with mottled and gray hair, although she was old, but she looked very energetic.
"Squeak"
As the wooden door opened, the warm light shone into the courtyard, which made the red alien creatures look a little flustered, struggling to get up and flee.
"Come in, poor child," the old woman did not have the slightest fright, but smiled kindly, and stepped forward to help the alien creature into the house.
Seeing that he was shivering, it seemed to be very cold, and after thinking about it for a moment, the old woman brought a quilt and covered the latter's body.
When she had done this, the old woman seemed to feel that it was not enough, so she went to the kitchen and fetched the stove and put it in the living room.
The alien creature has a unique angular shape, and the middle of the head seems to be inlaid with a six-sided crystal, and there is a beam of light in the crystal that rotates back and forth. The alien creature curled up in the quilt, slowly recovering from the cold and weakness.
The old woman put the red charcoal into the small stove, and slowly closed the living room, the temperature gradually rose, and the old woman greeted warmly: "Go to the stove to warm up!"
The alien creature visibly hesitated, but obediently moved its body towards the stove. The old woman saw his movements, and looked very happy, as if she had been lonely for too long, and she chattered slightly: "I am the only one living here, so you don't have to be polite." ”
"Don't feel troublesome, the old woman has been lonely for a long time, and after you came, this room has become a little more angry. ”
"By the way, why has this strange dress become popular lately?"
In the crystal on the head of the red alien creature, the light rotated and emitted bursts of unique sound waves, which seemed to respond to the old woman's question.
It's just that the alien creature can understand the words of the earth, but the old woman has no idea what he is talking about, so she takes care of herself and says kindly:
"Don't mind if no one lets you take it off, wear it if you like. ”
"What? What did you say?"
The alien creature emitted another wave of sound, which made the old woman look back again: "I'm old, and my ears are a little back"
"I've been alone for a long time, and it's rare to see you visit, so there may be a lot of talk, don't mind. ”
The alien creature paused, and began to try to change the way of communication, he did not choose to use sound waves, but directly telepathically told the old woman what he wanted to say.
"Stendel?Raeder?"
The old woman skillfully began to brew tea, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I only know the Americans and the French, what else"
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, but she could only shake her head and laugh: "I forgot about the others." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what nationality you are. But I don't know if you, a foreigner, drink tea?"
In the middle of the babbling words, the mother-in-law had already made a cup of hot tea, slowly pushed it in front of Raeder, and looked at Raeder with kind eyes.
"My son's words should be as high as you," the mother-in-law said lovingly, but she shook her head and said:
"But I haven't seen him in a long time"
Above Reald's head, the light in the crystal turned rapidly again, and the mother-in-law suddenly thought about something, and asked with concern, "Are you hungry?"
"My old man doesn't feel fragrant when he dies and eats alone, so there is nothing to eat at home. ”
As she spoke, the mother-in-law turned around and took out a stack of food from the cabinet behind her, "My teeth can't be bitten anymore, these pancakes have been sitting for a long time"
"What are you talking about, you're looking for someone," the mother-in-law nodded, expectantly, "If you want, you can stay here until you find that person." ”
"I've got an empty room anyway, and my old man won't be mad at me. The mother-in-law turned her head to look at the black-and-white photo on the cupboard, and the wrinkles on her face were unfolded.
"Hey, I'm so tired, I haven't had a guest for a long time, and I'm really tired. The mother-in-law stood up and bowed politely, "I'm sorry, I'm going to sleep first."
"Is it okay to turn the lights off?"
"Bell!"
Raeder stood up very excitedly and raised his hand to stop his mother-in-law's movements, but she startled her mother-in-law and couldn't help but fall to the ground.
Seeing his mother-in-law sitting on the ground, Raeder looked very flustered, the light in the crystal flashed rapidly, and his hands were raised a little overwhelmed, worried that he would scare his mother-in-law again.
"I know, you're afraid of the dark."
"The lights won't be turned off, but you have to be a good boy and don't use violence!"
The mother-in-law got up on her own, looked at Raeder with a smile, and walked slowly towards the bedroom without the slightest hint of blame.
"Good night then. ”
