Hugo was sure that the window was still closed when he and Sister Hong walked into the front hall of Canglan House.

Now in the late autumn season, the night is the time when the cold is heavy, although the kitchen is not human, some dishes can not withstand the cold. The guys in Canglanju are all diligent and very eye-catching, and they usually lock the doors and windows late at night to rest.

Then there is only one possibility left, when Hugo and Lao Yang were talking, someone entered the back kitchen.

The back kitchen has only one door and window.

The people who came in are still there.

Who is it?

Hugo decided not to act for the time being, he yawned, and took a sip from the glass on the table.

Still no movement

He stood up, walked to the wall, turned off the light, and walked up the stairs to the second floor, looking a little sleepy.

Hugo turned slightly in the dark, pretending to take two steps, his eyes staring at the back kitchen in the dark, his toes slowly tightening and secretly clasping the floor, ready to exert force at any time.

The moment he stepped on the black wattle staircase with his left foot, a dark figure who didn't know where he was hiding before moved.

A dark shadow flashed past the door of the back kitchen, but it was extremely fast but did not make a sound. The dark shadow gently opened the half-hidden window, and with a very skillful one-handed support, it was about to jump out of the window.

Hugo frowned, gently pinched the glass of water in his hand with his fingers, and then shook his wrist and threw the glass towards the black shadow that had almost jumped out of the window.

He was throwing it at the back of the shadow's head. But when the glass was shot, he saw that the shadow of the black shadow jumping on the windowsill was somewhat familiar, and his men forcibly deviated by two points.

The glass slammed into the bent knee of the black shadow's right leg with a muffled sound.

The man's right leg on the window went limp, and he fell down with a thud. Hugo snapped and turned on the light, looking at the person sitting on the ground with a helpless expression.

Yuqiu was sitting on the ground smiling wryly, rubbing her right knee when she had been hit.

"I haven't slept so late......" Yuqiu saw Hugo looking at him helplessly, embarrassed, and blushed and had nothing to say.

Hugo didn't answer him, walked a few steps, dug behind a loose brick in the corner of the back kitchen, and found a cascading bag of oiled paper.

Yuqiu's face was even more embarrassed when she saw this oily paper bag, and she scratched her somewhat dirty scalp and hung her head silently.

Hugo opened the oil-paper bag, revealing several large bills.

"Dad, this money was originally given to you, why did you come to steal it every ten days and a half months?" Hugo sighed, closed the paper bag and set it aside, and helped Yuqiu up from the ground.

"It's not like the end of the year...... I'm going to pour some ice mushrooms to Jingdong, and I almost ...... the capital" Yuqiu sat on the ground, rubbing his legs, his eyes rolling, and his mouth was messy.

Hugo was a very thrifty person on weekdays, because he was used to living a poor life since he was a child, and he was quite careful about money. The daily turnover expenses of Canglanju are transferred to the bank account on the same day, and the store usually only has some emergency cash, which is usually hidden in the brick wall behind the kitchen.

It wasn't until a year ago that Hugo stumbled upon a few fewer spare banknotes that were usually untouched. At first, Hugo thought that there was a thief in the store, and after discussing with Sister Hong, the two decided to squat and catch the thief at night. As a result, the thief was not caught, but Yuqiu, an unguardable thief, was caught.

"Daddy, can you please save me some snacks...... Can't you stay in the shop honestly......" Hugo sighed, he really had a headache for this father.

A few years ago, when Hugo was still young, Yuqiu took little Hugo to settle down in an unknown town on the border of the sky dome and opened a car repair shop. The shop is mainly engaged in the business of past merchants inside and outside the world, and the oil is sorted into the condition of the whole vehicle, and by the way, it sells some necessities. Although life is tight, it is okay to get by.

After a few years, the Federation merged and added a lot of new roads out of bounds on the Xia Ye side, and the car repair shops of the two gradually disappeared from the main roads out of bounds, and business naturally deteriorated. Yuqiu is a character who can't stay in the shop, he handed over all the chores to Hugo, and he wandered around outside all day without returning. Hugo later summed up, and it was really difficult to support the two of them by relying on a car repair shop like this, so he contacted Sister Hong, and the two came to Tongjia Town and opened Canglan Residence.

"Did you hear what Director Yang said just now?" Hugo said and bent down to pick up the glass he had just thrown from the ground, and came to the front hall with Yuqiu.

"I hear you." Yuqiu was quite honest at this time, nodded and sat down at the table.

Hugo was a little silent, not knowing how to say anything further.

The people in Tongjia Town, including Sister Hong, don't understand why Yuqiu wants Hugo to be in charge, and why Hugo has to tolerate his idle father in every way.

Hugo is not Yuqiu's biological son, he is an abandoned orphan.

In the early years, in order to encourage fertility and population development, the federal government introduced a lot of eugenics policies, and families with multiple children could apply for allowances and subsidies every month. Many parents in Xia Ye are pregnant with their second and third children in the rush for a high childbearing allowance. However, due to various factors such as environment and nutrition, some of these newborns are born with diseases, such as dementia and juvenile diseases. According to the Federal Ministry of Health, the parents of these newborns who are not fully capable of the productive and labor capacity of a normal person are not entitled to the eugenics policy.

If you have one more bite to eat, it may be nothing if the family environment is better. However, in some poor places in Xiaye, many poor families are unable to apply for more child subsidy, and they are really unable to raise these sick babies who can only bring a heavy burden.

This is indeed unethical, but the federal government does not have a special institution to house these sick babies. Those families who had hoped for more fertility subsidies and had difficulty supporting themselves had no choice but to abandon these children on the side of the mountain roads and highways in the past, hoping that someone with good intentions could take them back or die.

Hugo was lucky that Yuqiu picked him up.

Hugo was very weak since he was a child, and his hands and feet were uncoordinated, and he couldn't walk steadily at the age of five. Yuqiu took him to find a lot of Lang Zhong to see, and they all said that it should be that the brain is not fully developed, but the specific disease is not clear, but he just asked Xiao Hugo to use his hands and brain more. So since Hugo can remember, Yuqiu has exercised Hugo to let him be in charge, but the effect is not very obvious. It wasn't until later that Yuqiu happened to get the heart of this health and fitness exercise, and let Hugo practice with the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the effect to be very significant, and little Hugo has grown up as healthy as ordinary people.

Let a lonely man raise an abandoned baby with a congenital disease, the difficulty and sadness may only be understood by the person concerned.

Hugo looked at Yuqiu, who was sitting honestly at the table like a child who had done something wrong, and this seemingly idle father sometimes really made him angry. The angry thing is that he is past middle age but is still the same hanger he was when he was young, and he is idle and makes trouble everywhere. At the end, I remembered all the past over the years, but I was a little choked up for no reason......

Hugo coughed lightly and avoided his reddish eyes.

"Why have you borrowed so much usury from Tongshengfang in the past year?"

"The gambling houses in other towns in Xiaye owe a lot of money, and the east wall was demolished to make up for the west wall...... Yuqiu's eyes were a little evasive, and he lowered his head and said.

"How much money is left to pay off the accounts?" Hugo was not surprised to hear this answer, Yuqiu is a good gambler, he has also heard a little in the past two years, but he didn't expect Yuqiu to owe so much.

"It's not much, the money will basically be paid off when I get it back, and the big head is still in Tongshengfang......" Yuqiu was a little embarrassed, and took out a neat stack of banknotes from his butt pocket, which seemed to be the spare money hidden in the crack of the wall just now.

"Don't gamble anymore. When I come back from Lake Miral, sell the car repair shop and move to Tongjia Town, at least by my side...... At least I can see if you don't cause any trouble. Hugo picked up the stack of banknotes and folded it, and stuffed it back into Yuqiu's pocket.

Yuqiu grinned, pulled his eyebrows and said, "You know me, how can I bear to stay in one place all the time, and that won't suffocate me to death......"

Hugo just took advantage of the situation to say this, he knew that Yuqiu was an idle person, and he didn't have much hope. He waved his hand to signal that he would not say more, and asked Yuqiu seriously.

"You also heard Lao Yang's words just now. Now it's obviously weird, but I have to go. ”

Yuqiu saw Hugo put the money back in his pocket, and his expression calmed down a lot. He nodded and listened quietly, motioning for Hugo to continue.

"I've had some problems with my body lately." Hugo said as he stood up and picked up the empty glass on the table.

"In recent times, whenever I've been trying to concentrate, I've been in a state where I can't tell." Hugo raised the glass in his left hand to the eyebrows in front of him, took a deep breath, and then focused his attention on the glass with both eyes.

Feeling a familiar slight pain in his scalp, Hugo clenched the glass and shook his right wrist very quickly and skillfully, only to hear a "snap".

The top half of the glass shattered where Hugo's hand had pinched it, while the bottom half was intact. The most incredible thing is that the gap between the top half and the bottom half is flat and smooth, as if cut with a knife.

Yuqiu was a little stunned, how did this happen?

"In this state, I can feel the subtleties of many things around me, and those things seem to slow down for a moment." Hugo's face was slightly red, and his neck was dripping with sweat. He raised the remaining half of the glass in his hand a little out of breath, aimed the gap at Yuqiu and said:

"Like this glass, at that moment, I saw this scratch that may have been faintly engraved on it before it left the factory."

"This state lasted only for a moment, less than half a second." Hugo looked a little aggrieved, sat down and said: "But every time I enter this state inexplicably, I feel very tired, it is the kind of tiredness from the inside out, and then my vision will become blurry." ”

"Is that book really a practice practice?" Yuqiu was a little incredible, and touched the stubble that he hadn't shaved for a few days.

"I don't remember mentioning that this was happening, and it was hard for me to control the feeling." Hugo looked at Yuqiu and said, "Even at the beginning, I didn't dare to concentrate. ”

"Sometimes when I chop vegetables, I unconsciously enter this state, and then my vision is blurred, and finally ...... Cut his hand" said Hugo stretched out his left hand to Yuqiu, showing his bandaged middle finger straight.
