After that, I somehow fell asleep again. When I woke up, everything was like I had just fallen asleep. Mom and Dad are still like that, and my brother also said that he has no idea what I said about last night.

The only evidence that all that was not a dream last night was the card I clutched tightly when I woke up. How can I continue to get Mom and Dad to take their medication? Anyway, after my father came back last night, he didn't talk to me or my brother immediately like my mother, why is that? Could it be that he had more important things to do?

Or...... My brother lied? Actually, Dad looked for him, but he didn't want me to know for some reason? Thinking of what my mother said, "Luo Luo also took that medicine", my heart became heavier and heavier.

And just like that, another week passed. As the news about "don't go out and about these days" and some dark and ugly pharmaceutical insiders are starting to leak out, people seem to be starting to get more panicked, and the most obvious impact is skyrocketing prices. My brother and I made a calculation, and simply went out to buy about a month's worth of basic daily necessities and easy-to-store food and drinks, and then decided to close the door and not go out for a short time.

This week, I desperately tried to contact Shatter, but I don't know why her mobile phone couldn't get through, and she never replied to text messages, WeChat, and QQ. The other two roommates could not be contacted, only An An replied to me with a WeChat message, which was a strange picture, and a crumpled piece of paper with "3170" written on it.

And the expression and behavior of "Mom and Dad" became more and more strange. They seem to have grown bolder, and their range of activity has begun to be confined to their own bedrooms, and one will sneak into other rooms and rummage around, as if searching for something. Fortunately, as they became emboldened, we were finally able to open the gates and use electricity. But in addition, I was still very worried that my "mother" would find my professional book, so I secretly hid it in a very ** place, and my mother couldn't find the comic books I hid here since I was a child. At the same time, for some reason, I asked my brother to hide his physics, chemistry, and biology books as well.

However, "Mom and Dad" don't seem to be looking for our books, they collect all kinds of weird things from various corners from time to time, and then put them on the tip of their noses to sniff, and then let them go in disappointment, as if this is not what they are looking for.

This behavior scared my brother and me at first. But after a while, we thought it might be their new hobby, so we let them go.

On this day, I turned on the news channel as usual, and there was an advertisement playing in the picture of a woman with a strange smile: "Our group is still recruiting volunteers, and we guarantee that all the volunteers' immediate family members will receive the highest priority treatment and all the most advanced medical equipment." ”

"Cut, I don't believe it, what if we really go in and become a volunteer and then don't give treatment, where are we going to cry." My brother sat next to me, biting down on an apple and commenting disdainfully.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" I reached out and stroked his hair.

"Staying in my room, twittering and not knowing what to say, I started giggling as soon as I passed." He pursed his lips and put down the apple and glanced towards his room, there was a faint uneasiness in his eyes, "Do you feel that 'Mom and Dad' have become a little scary lately, you say, they really don't do anything strange, right?" After all, it's still our parents. ”

"Well, don't think too much about it, it's okay with me." My eyes flashed, and I subconsciously touched the card that had been in the inside pocket of my jacket.

"Mom and Dad can come back, right? Did that classmate of yours get in touch? My brother looked at me with a little hope in his eyes.

“…… She's been a bit busy lately, so she should be able to get in touch after a while. Didn't you see the medicine from last time it worked? Mom and Dad will definitely be back. I deliberately pretended to be busy changing the channel and avoided his eyes.

"I haven't seen the results with my own eyes...... Isn't that really what you're dreaming? Let's trick them into taking the medicine again, and I will never fall asleep again this time! My brother stared at me unrelentingly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Hmm...... I'm afraid that if they eat too much, they will be alert, so that they will not take it obediently after getting the medicine that really works. I looked at him with some embarrassment. I didn't tell him about the card, and my gut told me it was best to keep a hand here.

"Hey...... I really regret dying, why did I fall asleep that day!! You said Mom was going to shake you up, why didn't Dad wake me up?? Seeing that this trick didn't work, the younger brother sat back very unwillingly, pulling his hair with one hand, and his tone was full of remorse.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely let Mom and Dad come back!! When you want to talk to them, you can talk to them for as long as you want, let's pull the hook. I couldn't bear to hear him say this, so I hurriedly leaned over and comforted him, and took his hand and hooked it with me, just as my mother had pulled the hook with me that night.

"Okay......" He let out a long sigh of helplessness, snatching the remote control from my hand and turning it back to the news channel. The woman was gone, replaced by an urgent interlude: "Yesterday afternoon, the fourth medical team of Xiangyi Hospital lost contact again, and this is already the third medical team that has lost contact after the outbreak of the virus. Officials said the search was still ongoing, but the chances of finding it were unlikely. Please see our detailed report...... At 1 p.m. yesterday, the medical team of the fourth branch of Xiangyi Hospital, which was dispatched to the hard-hit area of the virus outbreak in City D, led by seven attending physicians from the headquarters of Xiangyi Hospital in City B of Province C, was officially confirmed missing after five hours and 42 minutes into the disaster area. Witnesses have reported seeing one of the attending physicians suspected of being infected with the XIZ virus, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove the authenticity of this indication, and it is impossible to know whether this information is the main reason for the team's disappearance. At the same time, the headquarters of Xiangyi Hospital stated that it would use all means to get in touch with the team. For more details, please pay attention to the follow-up report of this reporter......"

At this moment, there was a loud noise in my brother's room, and my brother and I looked at each other and hurriedly ran over to see what was happening.

Pushing open the door, "Daddy" sat on the ground with his back to us. Next to him was a potted plant that had fallen to the ground and was broken, and the pot was shattered and fell to the side. "Mom" stood on the bed holding a red flower plucked from a potted plant, her expression unpredictable.

"Found it," she said with an insignificant smile as she saw us enter, holding up the flower in her hand to us with irrepressible excitement in her tone, "the medicine you gave us that day...... Got it. ”
