Chapter 14: Daddy, Let's Sleep Together
When he returned home, Chu Donglin saw the little girl curled up in the corner of the room and was stunned for a moment.
"Shishi, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Donglin walked over, picked up the little girl with some confusion, and asked, "Why did you come here?" ”
By the light of the flashlight, the little girl stared at him blankly.
Then the little girl buried her head in Chu Donglin's arms, opened her little hand and hugged Chu Donglin, "I'm afraid...... Daddy, it's so dark......"
Chu Donglin was completely dumbfounded, although the little girl took the initiative to answer his question and made him very happy, but what did this little girl call him? Father? Just kidding, is this little girl confused?
He picked up the little girl, looked at her sternly, and asked, "Shishi, do you remember who I am?" ”
In the light of the flashlight, the little girl stared at him blankly, unresponsive. In this way, the two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Chu Donglin announced his surrender.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go to bed first, okay? It's so late, Shishi, you're sleepy, aren't you? ”
The little girl looked at him blankly, tilted her head and thought about it, reached out and touched her stomach, as if she was very aggrieved, "Hungry ......"
Chu Donglin was embarrassed, and he remembered that the last time the little girl had dinner was several hours ago.
He's a zombie and doesn't have hunger for a while, so he doesn't realize he needs to eat. Otherwise, according to human habits, it would have been dinner time long past now.
"Sorry sorry, I accidentally forgot...... Khan ......"
With a somewhat embarrassed smile, Chu Donglin put the little girl on the sand and said, "Shishi, you sit here and wait for me, and I'll go and prepare dinner for you...... Belch...... Shishi, how about instant noodles for dinner? It's not okay to always eat bread and snacks, right? ”
The little girl still stared at him blankly, not responding.
Chu Donglin shrugged his shoulders, turned around and walked into the kitchen. Under the light of a flashlight, light a fire, boil water, and prepare instant noodles.
Although instant noodles are not a nutritious food in normal times, in the last days, being able to eat a hot bite is a luxury for survivors.
Eating a bowl of hot instant noodles like Chu Donglin is also an unattainable dream for most survivors.
Of course, Chu Donglin felt that since he had the ability, he would definitely have to prepare better food for the little girl.
Now that I just live here, I am not ready, so I can only deal with it casually, and I can't let the little girl eat instant noodles every day in the future.
While he waited for the water to boil, he wondered if he should plant a few vegetable gardens on the rooftop.
Anyway, now that the building is all his, no one cares about him even if he farms in his room. If you just grow some ordinary cabbage shallots or something, with Chu Donglin's experience of doing farm work in the countryside of his hometown, there is basically no problem.
Belch...... Maybe consider raising some more chickens and ducks or something?
However, rapeseed can be found in the wholesale market, but it is a bit troublesome for chickens.
Now that the end of the world has exploded for more than ten days, it is estimated that not many chickens have survived in the chicken farm. Most of the eggs in the city are not native eggs, and there are no chicks at all...... Eh, forget it, let's get the vegetable garden out first, and I'll think about raising chickens later.
After the water boiled, Chu Donglin skillfully soaked the instant noodles and brought them to the dining table in the living room, and then hugged the little girl to the dining table and sat down, "Eat, Shishi, be careful of scalding." ”
The light of the strong flashlight is too dazzling, for fear of hurting the little girl's eyes, Chu Donglin also brought a few with him to spare, and he usually uses an ordinary household flashlight for lighting.
In the slightly dim light of the flashlight, the little girl looked at him sitting opposite in a daze, stupidly unresponsive.
Just when Chu Donglin thought that this little girl was dissatisfied with the food, Shishi spoke.
"Dad, aren't you going to eat?"
She pointed to Chu Dong's empty front and asked blankly.
Chu Donglin was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.
In the little girl's godless gaze, Chu Donglin smiled and said, "I've eaten it, you can just eat Shishi." ”
Although the little girl's title made him feel a little strange, the warm touch was enough to dilute these strange feelings.
Chu Donglin touched the little guy's head and smiled with relief, "So don't worry about me, just eat it quickly." ”
The little girl looked at his smile blankly and was stunned for a long time, then nodded, lowered her little head and picked up the instant noodles, and ate them in small bites.
When the little girl finished eating instant noodles, Chu Donglin wiped the corners of her mouth clean, and walked to her bedroom to let the little girl sleep, but there was a new situation.
"Daddy, let's sleep together."
The little girl was lying in the quilt, reached out and grabbed Chu Donglin's hand, and said timidly, "Shishi is afraid of ......"
Chu Donglin looked at the little girl's still empty and unfocused gaze, sighed, got into the quilt, and lay down with the little girl, "Okay, sleep together." ”
Although this bed is a bit small and cannot accommodate two people sleeping at the same time. Chu Donglin, who was lying on it, in order not to press Shishi, half of his body was hanging on the side of the bed, which was really uncomfortable.
But seeing the little girl's blank gaze and thinking about the hardships that this little girl had suffered before, Chu Donglin really couldn't refuse her request.
When she got into the bed, the little girl hugged Chu Donglin and put her head into his arms, "Dad, good night." ”
Chu Donglin couldn't help laughing, as a young man who had just turned twenty-one years old, he hadn't even had a girlfriend yet, he was actually called "Dad", this feeling was really a little strange.
He reached out and touched the little girl's head, feeling that he still had to change the strange title of the little girl, "Shishi, why do you always call me Dad?" ”
The little girl did not react.
"Okay, so let's put it another way...... Well, Shishi, do you remember me? Didn't you always call me big brother before? Why did you upgrade to dad this time? ”
The little girl still didn't react.
"Do you remember Uncle Li? He's your father, I don't even have a girlfriend, how can I have such a big daughter...... Belch...... I'd be glad to have such a lovely daughter as you, but I'm not your father. ”
No response.
"Don't call me dad in the future, okay? Just like before, just call me big brother...... Belch...... Poetry? Poetry? ”
A slight snoring sound, Chu Donglin was stunned, and then the little girl had fallen asleep in his arms for some time.
Looking at the little girl's sleeping side face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, you slept pretty fast......"
However, the little girl has been abused and beaten for a long time, and now she has finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, and after the tense spirit has relaxed, it is normal for the fatigue to rise up and fall asleep quickly.
continued to stay in the dark for more than half an hour, until it was confirmed that the little girl was asleep, Chu Donglin cautiously stepped out of bed, and tried his best to go back to the bedroom next door without making a sound.
After all, the bed in this bedroom was still too small, and he was uncomfortable lying on it.
And even zombies need to be dormant.
Although in general, zombies don't need many hours of sleep like humans.
However, when not moving, putting yourself into a dormant state can still help reduce energy consumption and speed up the healing of wounds.
When Chu Donglin hunted the mutated zombie before, a big hole was opened in his chest, and it has not been completely restored until now.
And as a zombie with human consciousness, keeping sleep at night, a habit that only humans have, can also give Chu Donglin some psychological comfort - he hasn't completely turned into a zombie, at least he is not the same as those man-eating monsters.
Lying on the bed, Chu Donglin closed his eyes, relaxed the energy transmission of his brain to all parts of his body, and soon entered a semi-silent dormant state.
The bedroom in the darkness gradually came down, and only a faint ray of moonlight shone in silently.
But soon, Chu Donglin woke up again - he felt the bedroom door being pushed open.
Sitting up from the bed, Chu Donglin saw the little girl Shishi standing at the door in a nightgown.
In the darkness, the little girl's sparkling eyes stared at him for a long time.
Then the little girl came over, got into his quilt as a matter of course, and fell asleep holding one of Chu Donglin's arms, "Dad, sleep together." ”
Looking at the little girl's side face with a wry smile, Chu Donglin shook his head and gave up struggling, "Okay, let's sleep together." ”
As he spoke, Chu Donglin also lay down.
This time, the bedroom was finally completely quiet, except for a few muffled zombie roars from time to time in the dark city, but it seemed extremely distant.
