Chapter 40: Returning Home

H City is a poor little city. There are no places of interest or high-rise buildings, and they are very ordinary.

Put on your headphones, then put on your hoodie hat and drag your suitcase and walk down the street.

It was already six o'clock in the evening, and the people walking on the side of the road were all coming home from work, dragging their tired bodies, but their steps were not slow, but they were a little anxious, wanting to go home quickly. Gao Zhen knew that even if the virus had not been rampant, they would have gone home like this.

What person who is tired all day doesn't want to hurry back to their cozy nest? When you open the door, those who have a wife will make out with their wives for a while, and those who don't have a wife will make out with their pets for a while. Then eat a few side dishes, drink a few sips of wine, watch TV, and play with your mobile phone. Finally, sit in front of the computer, open the game, and experience life in another world, happy and free.

In the world of the game, strong is strong, weak is weak, and everyone who wants to be strong has the opportunity to become stronger. If someone comes to obstruct him, I can kill him, and if someone comes to make friends, I can help him. The game is not easier than life, but it is satisfying. The items you get are always in your inventory, and the achievements you achieve will always reward you with a unique trophy.

Alas, it would be nice if games were life, and life was games.

Thinking about it, he walked to his aunt's house. Before he entered the gate of the community, he saw his sister An Lan waiting for him not far away.

An Lan was wearing a green and black plaid padded jacket and a small black fluff, squatting there with a small box beside her. She seemed to be a little cold, and kept rubbing her little hands that were red from the cold.

As soon as she saw her brother coming, she jumped up happily, picked up the small box and threw herself at him.

"Brother! An Lan misses you! She was not tall, and she could only hug her waist when she pounced, and gently touched her little head, and took her into her arms and kissed her.

"Huh? Why is my brother a little strange today? actually took the initiative to kiss An Lan. My sister stretched out a little finger and poked Gao Zhen's face.

"Why don't you wait at home and run down, it's so cold outside." Rest back and answer the question.

"It's not that I miss my brother yet." My sister buried her head in Gao Zhen's arms and rubbed it.

"Let's go, go up and say hello to my aunt, and we'll go home." Gao Zhen put his sister back on the ground, took her hand, and wanted to enter the community.

"Oh, brother, you don't have to go, I've already said hello to her." My sister pouted and said, "She wished I had left earlier." Now that she goes up, she doesn't have time to pay attention to you, and Brother Aiwen has been visited by the house again. ”

Evan is the son of Aunt Gao Zhen, who has just entered the second grade of elementary school, and is naughty at school and is always visited by his family. My aunt has always been very unhappy, and while taking care of An Lan, she also has to "teach" this disobedient son.

"Then let's go, give me what you have in your hands." Gao Zhen pulled his sister with one hand, and with the other hand he was going to pick up the small box that his sister was carrying.

"I won't give it to you." The younger sister put her hands behind her back and wouldn't let the pillow help her. He smiled and didn't say anything, he knew that his sister was very sensible, and he never wanted others to be busy with his own affairs.

"Didn't you wear this padded jacket last year? Didn't you say last time that your aunt bought you new clothes? Gao Zhen looked at her slightly shabby coat.

"Uh...... I put new clothes at home, and I didn't want to wear them. My sister said with a red face.

"I'll take you to the mall tomorrow to buy clothes." Gao Zhen decided. He could see that his aunt didn't use the extra 500 yuan she transferred last time to buy clothes for An Lan, and An Lan was afraid that her brother would blame her aunt, so she lied.

Sister, you are so kind.

Gao Zhen still has a little extra money, after he was abducted by Shen Xin to eat last time, Shen Xin gave him some money, saying that he wanted him to improve his food, don't keep eating meat and rice noodles.

"Brother, are you in love?" After walking for a while, my sister suddenly looked up and asked.

"Huh? Why? Gao Zhen was startled, and his foot almost fell into the ditch.

"My brother used to see good-looking girls on the road, and his eyes were always staring at others. But just now, there were a lot of good-looking young ladies walking over, and my brother didn't even look at them. It must be that my brother's girlfriend is too beautiful, or that my girlfriend is very strict. An Lan said seriously.

"Then you're thinking too much, I'm seeing through the red dust, and I'm not close to beauty." Sit back and talk nonsense in a serious way.

"Then you have someone you like." The younger sister nodded, "It must be, my brother won't dislike girls." ”

"Of course I like girls, and I like good-looking girls like you the most." Gao Zhen touched An Lan's head. My sister is only 11 years old, but she has perfectly inherited her mother's peerless appearance, and she is often said to be a beautiful embryo at a young age, and she will definitely fall into the city and the country when she grows up. Now, at school, she is obsessed with those little kids.

"Brother, let's take a detour this way." An Lan suddenly pointed to a path next to her and said.

"What?" Gao Zhen looked at the silent and uninhabited path and asked strangely.

"Go find a friend." My sister said mysteriously.

On both sides of the path are dilapidated houses that no one lives in, dark and cold. I can't help but worry a little about whether my sister will meet bad people when she comes to this kind of place often.

The younger sister ran to a fallen wall, stood on the scattered bricks, put the small box aside, put her hands to her mouth and made a trumpet, and shouted, "Brother Ji! Ji Di! ”

"Meow~Woo~" A gray cat jumped off the wall of a broken house and fell into An Lan's arms. It was covered in gray hair, a little fat, with short limbs, a large face, golden eyes, a bell around its neck, and especially the big gray tail, which wagged around like a big-tailed wolf.

"Brother Ji, you've gained weight again! I shouldn't have given you canned food last time. An Lan hugged the cat and touched its head, Ji Di seemed to like An Lan very much, rubbing it in her arms, gurgling in her throat.

"British short blue cat? Purebred? Gao Zhen said to the side.

"Brother Ji, go home with my sister today, okay? Sister still has canned food here. An Lan picked up the cat, looked into its eyes and said.

"Meow!" Ji Di called out and replied. Then he jumped lightly and jumped onto An Lan's shoulder, wrapping his big tail around her neck like a gray scarf.

"Won't you ask me?" He glanced at his sister and her best friend.

"Brother, you'll definitely agree, won't you?" My sister winked at Takatsumi.

"Then you'll have to give it a bath when you go back."

"Understood!"

……

Gao Zhen took out the key and pushed the door open, and a puff of dust hit his face, choking him with a few coughs.

This is his mother's house, and after divorcing his father, this house was assigned to his mother's name, and Gao Zhen has been living here. Later, her mother married her stepfather, An Lan was born, and the family lived here. It's just that then my mother and stepfather died, and I went to college, and no one has lived here for a year.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Di jumped off An Lan's shoulder, rushed in, and found a comfortable place to lie down on the sofa.

"It feels so good to be home!" My sister sighed. At her aunt's house, she has always had a feeling of being under the fence, and only when she returns here with her brother can she feel at home.

Gao Zhen opened the electric switch, turned on the light, and the house that had been sitting for a year was finally presented to him.

Suddenly, he noticed something abnormal.

There was some soot in the ashtray on the dining table, and a cigarette that had just been snooze!

"Who?" An Lan asked into the living room.

Gao Zhen turned his head and found a figure standing in the living room, but before he could look closely, the figure disappeared out of thin air!
