When Lin Yufei returned home, the night light at the door was still on. He quietly found the key and crept into the house, only to find that the light in the living room was also on. The TV was still on, but it wasn't loud, and on the table was rice and his favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which were lit by a translucent insulated cover, but only a little lukewarm remained. On the couch, a girl in white pajamas was curled up on her side, already asleep, making an even breathing sound.

Lin Yufei sighed softly, reached out and took out the remote control from under the girl's hand to turn off the TV, lightly removed the thermal insulation cover, picked up the rice and prepared to eat. As soon as I picked up the chopsticks, I hit the back of my hand lightly and heavily. Lin Yufei reluctantly put down his chopsticks and picked up the dishes on the table. Before he could move half a step, Lin Yifei was already standing in front of him, stretched out his hands and snatched the bowls and plates in his hands, walked to the kitchen, and asked as he walked, "Why don't you come back and don't call?"

"Overtime on site," Lin Yufei followed behind Lin Yifei, "The phone is charged in the office, things are a bit messy, and I completely forgot about it." I'm hot myself, you go to sleep. Saying that, he wanted to grab the bowl in Lin Yifei's hand, but was squeezed away: "I'll come, you go wash it, it's as dirty as a pig." Didn't you roll around on the construction site overtime? ”

Lin Yufei reluctantly turned around and came to the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, only to find that he had just fought repeatedly, and the dust had already covered his face with dust, as if he had just finished working in the cement warehouse. He smiled wryly and began to wash. It's been a long time since his parents died, and his sister is five years younger than him, but after all these years, he doesn't feel that he is taking care of his sister at all, but more like the other way around. Needless to say, even financially, my sister has been working and studying since she graduated from high school, and rarely asks for money from his brother. All these years of life gave him the feeling that they were not like brothers and sisters, but like sisters and brothers.

Coming out of the bathroom, the meal was already hot and placed on the table, and there were two more fried chicken thighs. His old sister was already sitting on the side, needle and thread in her hand. Seeing him come out, he blurted out: "Hang the steel bar again today, right?"

Lin Yufei saw that there was a gap more than half a foot long on the back of his shirt, which tree it was probably hung on. He knew that his sister didn't want him to answer, so he didn't answer. Sit down at the table and destroy the rice with the wind and clouds, and then move on to the chicken legs. He continued to fight today, and he was indeed hungry. After gnawing the second chicken leg and putting the bone in the bowl, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked up and asked, "By the way, it seems that I haven't seen Meow for a few days, have you seen it?"

Meow is a black and gray pattern tanuki that he picked up when he was a child, has lived at home for more than ten years, used to always nest at home and never go out, but in the last year or two, he has always disappeared, and he can't see a shadow at the end of three days.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it in days. Lin Yifei put down the work in his hand and got up, and instantly forced in front of Lin Yufei, "Brother, your old sister and I are leaving tomorrow, you don't care about me but care about an old cat?"

Lin Yufei was so frightened that he leaned back: "Shouldn't you leave the day after tomorrow?" ”

"School starts the day after tomorrow, I'm going to school tomorrow to clean up!" Lin Yifei shouted, jumped back and picked up the needle and thread, "Isn't it like this every time I start school? Brother, you are less than thirty, is your memory also degraded!"

Lin Yufei didn't dare to answer again, and began to clean up with his hands and feet. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Yifei was gone. The door to one bedroom was closed, and the mended clothes were neatly placed on the sofa.

He didn't go upstairs at once, but turned around and sat down next to his coat, one hand on the mended garment, dazed. After a few moments, he felt something furry crawl up his leg. Looking down, Meow, who hadn't been home for a few days, was crawling on his lap, staring at him with a pair of eyes, and screaming "meow".

"You're finally willing to come back," Lin Yufei smiled, reached out and rubbed Ah Meow's head, then picked it up, put it next to the cat food box in the corner of the living room, and went upstairs.

......

At seven o'clock the next morning, Lin Yufei got up on time with the ringing of the alarm clock. He didn't have the habit of setting an alarm clock, which was placed at the door of the bedroom, an old-fashioned alarm clock with two iron ears, ringing like an old-fashioned school bell, very loud. Lin Yufei could only get up and open the door and turn off the alarm clock, but in this way, he was completely sleepy. There is also a note under the alarm clock at the door, and the handwriting on it is neat, which is the font of the old girl:

"Brother, I left with an early bus. The rice is warmed up for you and put on the table downstairs, remember to wash the dishes after eating, don't wait for me to come back and wash it!PS: Learn to cook by yourself, don't always eat instant noodles!

Lin Yufei smiled silently and went downstairs to wash up and eat. Meow isn't here, I don't know where I've wandered around again. The cat food box was a mess, and the cat food was scattered all over the ground. The breakfast on the dining table was covered with an insulated cover, and when it was uncovered, it was still steaming. Finally, there was no nagging from the old sister when she was there, Lin Yufei ate and washed the dishes step by step, cleaned up Meow's battlefield, and went out on time at half past seven.

Half an hour later, Lin Yufei sat alone in the office of the construction site, playing with the card left by Ye Fei in his hand, thinking about the reason for asking for leave. In fact, even if Yun didn't say it, Lin Yufei had already saved up a stomach of questions to ask. When he was 12 years old, he met his teacher, who only left a few cultivation mantras for him who had just become enlightened, and disappeared after a few days. At that time, he said that he had something important, and when he met again, he would explain everything, including who they were and what they did. But this time they met for the first time, they only met people, and they separated after two fights, and he still didn't know anything about the problems he had been thinking about for fifteen years. Lin Yufei couldn't help but wonder if he was fooled again this time, could the teacher have come here again just to solve the problem of Xiangliu and test himself, and then disappear when the matter was done; he wondered if he didn't pass the teacher's test, so he left himself here again; or maybe he was simply a caretaker left by the teacher here, and he would come over to see something if something happened...... When I was thinking wildly, the iron door of the office rang, and when I looked up, I found that it was a vice president of the company surnamed Zhang who came in. This person usually takes care of him very much, and his temperament is also very gentle, so he quickly stood up and greeted: "Hello Mr. Zhang." ”

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "I'm just here to arrange some things, I'll leave immediately, you can sit down." ”

"You have something to say," Lin Yufei didn't sit down, just stood aside.

"Then I'll be blunt," Mr. Zhang's smile was a little embarrassed, "The company's situation is not very good this year, you have been here for so long, you should have seen it, so yesterday the company held a meeting and decided to lay off some personnel......"

"I understand Mr. Zhang, have you?"

"That's pretty much it," Mr. Zhang smiled unnaturally, "The company has also been thinking about it for a long time......

"It's okay," Lin Yufei interrupted Mr. Zhang's words, "I understand the company's difficulties, this is nothing." I'll leave after handing over work in the morning. ”

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Lin Yufei returned home alone, and saved the last half year's salary he had just received on the way, leaving only two or three hundred pocket money in his hand. As soon as he entered, he threw himself on the couch and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

I lost my job, but I was still fired on my own initiative, and it is false to say that I am not uncomfortable. But at this time, his mind was not on this at all, after a long time on the sofa, he jumped up, made a instant noodle for lunch, and after eating, cleaned up the house as quickly as possible, closed the door and left. Now that he was alone at home, and he didn't have to go to work, he couldn't help but look for answers.

Ye Fei's T City is not very far from Yunshan County, but it is only sixty or seventy kilometers away. Lin Yufei did not choose to take a car, but chose to rush from the woods between the two cities. Because when no one is seeing, he can use the wind blessing faster. While hurrying to contact him by phone, an hour later, he was already standing at the door of Ye Fei's residence.

It was Ye Fei who opened the door, and there was no one else. At this time, he was wearing a blue plaid pajamas, but he was obviously not sleepy, and he thought that he had not gotten out yet. Lin Yufei followed into the house, there was still no one in the living room, and the doors of several bedrooms were closed.

"Teacher, are they all out?" Lin Yufei asked.

"Well, they're all out," Ye Fei replied as he leaned back into the sofa, picked up the tablet on the table and played, "The teacher said that they came here for a purpose at this time, and said that several cities around here have not been peaceful recently, and it seems that the frequency and number of strange beasts are abnormally high, so they came." They said that during their time here, they would go out on patrol every day. ”

"Strange beast, like the one we killed last night?" Lin Yufei asked.

"I don't know. They came to me two days before they came to you, and they didn't tell me anything. The teacher said that he would explain to us if he found you, so I guess I will talk about it today. Senior brother, bear with me, I'm also waiting," Ye Fei replied while continuing to fight on the tablet, his fingers were like springs, and his eyes never left the screen, "By the way, senior brother, there is a computer over there, a TV remote control on the coffee table, and fruits and drinks, you are welcome to take it yourself, I will not greet you when I play in rank." ”

"Okay," Lin Yufei responded, turned to the side to turn on the computer, and when he turned on the computer, he leaned over and took a look, "Senior brother, you are so strong, your rank is not low, right?"

"That's!" Ye Fei made no secret of his pride, "I'm a king now." Senior brother, do you play too?"

"I can't, I can't even go up to silver. Lin Yufei replied casually.

"I'll teach you in a while, and I'll let you soar into the sky," Ye Fei still looked proud.

"Forget it. I reacted slowly, I've been mixed in bronze for more than half a year, and it's useless to teach," Lin Yufei replied, turned around and walked in front of the computer, "By the way, they went out to inspect, why didn't you go out?"

"I'll stay behind and wait for you by the way. OK, it's done!" Ye Fei cheered, threw the tablet onto the sofa, then sat up, grabbed two apples from the coffee table, threw one to Lin Yufei, and took a big bite on the other, "Okay, the teacher's original words are that my wind skills are not yet at home, and I am not very proficient in the use of my own abilities, so it really hurts my self-esteem to let me stay at home." But what awaits you is also true. ”

At this time, a news page automatically popped up on the computer screen, and Lin Yufei had no intention of playing anything, so he clicked on the news casually. Ye Fei also stepped forward: "Zoo tigers hurt people? I'm still in our city, this can be regarded as big news." ”

"I don't remember much of the zoo in T City, and there are tigers?" Lin Yufei was a little curious, "I remember the last time I came was two years ago, and there wasn't one at that time." ”

"It was introduced last spring, and a special Tiger Mountain was opened, and I heard that there are two white tigers," Ye Fei said as he picked up his mobile phone, "By the way, senior brother, you don't avoid mutton, right?"

"Don't be jealous, what's wrong?" Lin Yufei was stunned.

"I guess the teacher is coming back soon, and I don't bother to go out, so I just order some takeout," Ye Fei said as he quickly operated on his mobile phone. At this time, the sound of opening the door sounded, and then Zhang Zhongjian's voice was heard: "Then you bought it a little late, we are all back." ”
