Chapter Ninety-Three: The Freezer
So Li Zhen kept holding her in the afternoon sun.
Until the light body in his arms slowly became cold and hard.
He bit his lip so hard that his teeth became fishy and salty.
"Wait, I'll go out of here." He whispered in her ear, "When you are resurrected...... Want to fly? ”
"Hmm...... You could have flown by the means. So what should you eat? ”
"I ate chickens, snakes, and rats. As for you...... Let's leave it at that. You're already amazing. ”
The phone in the bedroom rang. But Li Zhen ignored it.
However, the music persevered, and the melody of "Time-to-say-goodbye" kept drifting in his ears.
So he whispered again, "Wait a minute. ”
Then he walked back to his bedroom, didn't look at the number, and answered the phone.
On the other end was Yu Ziqing's voice. He asked suspiciously, "Boss, are you busy?" ”
Li Zhen looked at Beichuan's bedroom and said softly, "Someone is sleeping." ”
Yu Ziqing didn't ask much, and continued: "What you want me to inquire about, I have inquired about that one - her mother is doing well now." I secretly followed for a while, but my spirit was not very good, but I was fine. ”
"Hmm." Li Zhen let out a muffled nasal voice.
"I haven't finished your family's affairs yet, but it is estimated that I will be able to know Dao Xin'er in two or three days, and I have a buddy who has also entered your security bureau, and I am talking around the bush. Rest assured, it's no problem. ”
"Good. I'm sorry for you. ”
"Boss, did you just wake up? Still yawning? ”
"Hmm." Li Zhen said, "Let's talk back." Then he hung up.
But out of that room......
He felt like he didn't have the courage to step in anymore. He was afraid to see something.
Kitagawa's body was cold very quickly. It's also hard and fast. Yet he could almost feel it just now...... She was swelling slightly. It's as if something is still growing in the body......
I want to stretch it out.
So he closed his eyes and closed the door to her room. Then I showered myself, shaved, changed into dry clothes, and walked out the door.
The sun shone brightly, and he squinted. The street was a little damp, with small puddles on the side of the road. But he strode by, splashing with muddy water. He walked alone in silence, feeling that the pedestrians and traffic around him belonged to another space. Occasionally, someone came from in front of him, and he slammed into it brutally, unoblivious to the ethereal, whispering voices of flies and mosquitoes coming from behind him.
After walking for nearly an hour, he finally came to a small market selling poultry.
The cries of chickens, ducks and geese mingle with the flapping of their wings and the smell of feces and feathers. He frowned slightly. So he didn't go any further. Instead, he stopped in front of the first stall and took a few glances at the still spirited poultry in the cage.
The boss came to greet him, first in the local language, then in Chinese.
Li Zhen looked at the boss with some blankness. Look at the geese that are alive. He whispered, "I want to live." Wash me clean—cleanly. And then to my house. ”
The boss looked at what he was wearing and quoted a price. Li Zhen nodded and threw out a hundred gold dollars. He gave the other party the address again, turned around and left.
Then he continued walking, as if the reciprocating mechanical motion was helping him consume something. Eventually, he stopped in front of a home appliance city. After hesitating for a long time, I opened the curtain and walked in.
The cold air is blowing in the face.
He staggered up to the fourth floor, and from the fourth floor back to the second floor, stopping in front of a freezer.
The female shopper leaned over enthusiastically and asked him what he needed.
But Li Zhen only looked at the freezer in silence, stared at it for a long time, and walked away.
Slightly disappointed, the shopping guide returned to the counter and continued to flip through her phone.
But Li Zhen stopped where he was again, and continued to stare at the freezer.
I stared at it for five minutes.
The shopper looked up and saw that he was still there, realizing that it seemed that the handsome young man was hesitating whether he should take out the money or buy something. She felt that the other party might be a little tight. Otherwise he wouldn't have that expression—
It's as if once he buys this thing, his world realm collapses.
So she stepped forward again and enthusiastically introduced the performance of the freezer, and said that it was an import from China. She used the local language, and Li Zhen didn't understand a word.
Then he walked away.
The shopping guide glanced at his back a few more times, and then lowered his head. Although it was not sold, it was not a bad thing to meet such a handsome young man.
Five minutes later, however, a wad of gold dollars was dropped on the counter. The shopping guide raised his head and was surprised to find that the handsome little guy from before was back.
He stared at the freezer as if he had a deep hatred for it.
Almost word for word: "That thing...... Send it to my home. ”
Also leaving the address, he left without looking back.
When Li Zhen walked back to the door, there were already two cars parked on the side of the road. A truck transporting freezers, a pickup truck delivering live geese. Both seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Zhen's late return, but Li Zhen felt that every word they uttered was meaningless—like the rumors.
He commanded two teams of men to unload their things in the courtyard, watched them go away, and closed the gate.
Then he picked up the freezer and walked into the door, placing it in a corner of the living room. He also took up the cages containing the live geese and placed them under the coconut trees.
And then......
He smelled rancidity.
It's very light, very slight. Lingering in every inch of the room...... That's her taste.
Li Zhen stood in place in a daze, feeling that the world was roaring back. However...... It was a world realm that barely made him breathless. He ran out into the yard, glanced at the cage of live geese, and then turned and walked back.
It shouldn't have been so fast.
Everything was unexpected.
But at first...... It shouldn't have been so fast.
He pursed his lips, rubbed his throat with his hand, and walked upstairs step by step.
Wasn't it the same way I used to be? And then get a new life from this taste?
Li Zhen walked to the bedroom with a blank face and put his hand on the door. He thought there might be some kind of force field on the door—because he couldn't push it away. He also felt that the door might connect to a certain space—that once opened, everything that had been done before would be reversed in time and become a ...... A more acceptable world.
But five minutes later, his fingers were a little stronger.
The door was opened.
He immediately closed it again and pushed it open again.
Same.
So Li Zhen walked in, walked all the way to the bed, and sat on the chair.
Staring at the man on the bed.
Several times he couldn't help but look away, but he didn't want to miss any clues. He wanted to see ...... Something moved.
It's the kind that really moves, not as it seems......
Such......
Such...... Earthquake.
He felt that he was the most cruel person in the world—even at this point, he had to force himself to look intently at everything in front of him, but not let the best impressions remain in his memory.
He watched from afternoon to sunset, six hours.
He was annoyed by the cries of the geese under the back window, so he got up and went out the door, wrenched their necks one by one, and carried them up the stairs again, and piled them all on the bed.
Then he sat until twelve o'clock in the night, when he stood up again. He felt like he had to eat something.
So he returned to her bedroom with a plate of dishes that Kitagawa Harumi had made last night and that he had put in the fridge, staring at her and stuffing it into his mouth. In fact, he didn't know if she was her or it now.
Li Zhen fell asleep unconsciously. Then I slept until the first rays of morning light penetrated my eyes and pierced my eyes. He didn't open his eyes immediately, but closed them for a moment and sniffed them. Then he lifted his eyes slightly, and finally slowly opened.
Another long, boring day. However......
He's the only one.
The next day passed quickly.
When the full moon rose into the sky, Li Zhen slowly got up, went downstairs, and connected the freezer to the power.
Then he waited quietly for it to cool.
Then he turned and went upstairs.
Five minutes later, Li Zhen picked it up and put it in the freezer.
Extremely lightweight. As a matter of fact...... It's almost all bones.
He tilted his head to look, wiped the liquid from his hands, and closed the lid of the freezer with a bang. One by one, he turned off all the lights in the house, brought the key, locked the door, and stood in the courtyard.
A pair of gray-white wings bloomed from behind, and their bodies were immediately covered with a dense layer of scale armor.
So on this night, the residents near this street heard a dull noise. It was like an explosion somewhere, like the sound of cannons during artificial rainfall - the sound rang three times from high to low, some said it came from next door to home, some said it came from the roof of one's house, and some said it came from Nancheng District, near the sea.
The latter seems to be the most convincing, as many people saw a faint cone cloud in mid-air that night.
They think it's a UFO or an official scientific experiment.
But it was a local fisherman who ended up on the local news TV screen. Because he was on the boat to cool off, and he used his mobile phone to photograph a long, thin line that extended from the low-altitude clouds and stretched for a distance of about several kilometers to the south, and disappeared at the end of the day.
Middle-aged fishermen thought it was a dragon. For he heard a roar of thunder coming from the air—and the voice was bitter and mournful.
"It must have been a fishing boat trawling to empty the sea, or a dragon cub to catch up, the old dragon was furious. Boats like mine don't have to trawl. He swore that "such a loud voice is certainly not something that a human can shout." ”
He smiled again and added, "Besides, people can't fly." ”
A lot of people laughed in front of the TV. It was really a warm and peaceful evening. (To be continued.) )
