Chapter 151: Where to Stay
Lu Yan inserted the key into the door lock and turned it gently.
After a soft "creak", the door opened.
Through the moonlight, you can see the dust wafting in the air, and there is no special smell in the room.
Lu Yan stretched out his hand and tentatively pressed the switch of the light, and after a crisp sound, the room was illuminated by a miserable white light.
A trace of surprise crossed Lu Yan's eyes, there was actually electricity!
The rooms that come into view are almost no longer inhabited by the original residents, and have been replaced by a clean and tidy style peculiar to the military.
Everything in the room was neatly arranged, even if no one had opened the door for a long time, and it had already been covered with a thin layer of dust.
This small building has only two floors, the lower floor is the kitchen and living room, as well as the bathroom, and the second floor should be the bedroom.
Lu Yan came to the coffee table, there were several yellowed dusty papers on the coffee table, and Lu Yan picked up one of them.
It is written in upright handwriting:
"To Mother: I'm on a mission, and this mission is nothing special, it's the same as before, and it's almost dangerous."
"It's that I may need to spend a little more time outside, after all, I need to do what I need to do well, this is what you have taught me since I was a child."
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few weeks. It's like eating the egg fried rice you made, and I'm almost forgetting the taste. ”
"Please take care of your health and wait for your son's triumphant return."
There are three sheets of paper, and the remaining two are family letters written in different notes.
Lu Yan knew at a glance that this was a "suicide note" written by a soldier who had relatives at the base, and once he died, his comrades-in-arms who returned safely would hand over this letter to his family.
It's just that they didn't expect that this time there was no one who even sent the message.
Lu Yan felt a little empty in his heart, gently brushed the dust off it, and then carefully folded the letter in half.
He stood up, looked around the room, and suddenly opened the drawer under the coffee table, and unsurprisingly, saw several envelopes.
Lu Yan stuffed the letters into the envelope one by one, and then imitated the handwriting on the letters, writing the recipient's name on the envelope.
Truth be told, the letter is already yellowed, and even if such a letter is delivered to the recipient, the other party may not trust the person who wrote the letter to be safe.
The reason why they were written and spread out on the coffee table and not stuffed in envelopes was probably because no one wanted to send these letters.
The people in the room quieted down when they saw this scene, and even Mu Tang noticed that Lu Yan was not in a very relaxed mood, so he obediently stood by and watched him seal the envelope.
Lu Yan took a deep breath, put the wrapped letter into the drawer, and closed the drawer door again.
When Qi Yang comes over tomorrow, he will hand over these letters to him and ask him to deliver them to the recipient.
Turning his head, he found that the little girl was standing next to him obediently, looking at him with some apprehension and some inquiry, only to find that his emotions had affected Mu Tang.
Lu Yan suppressed the depression in her heart, bent the corners of her mouth, took the initiative to take Mu Tang's hand, and walked to the second floor with her:
"Let's go and see what it's like upstairs."
Upstairs there are two rooms, one larger and one smaller.
The furniture inside has been removed except for the cabinets, and the room is packed with six simple folding beds.
Six neat "tofu blocks" were placed on the bed.
It seems that there used to be six people living in this small room.
It stands to reason that the room allocation should be one room for Mu Tang and Lin Wanwan, and then one room for Lu Yan and Ren Yu.
But looking at Lu Yan's appearance, it seems that he doesn't plan to separate from Mu Tang, so Lin Wanwan can only live with Ren Yu.
A dark red appeared on Ren Yu's face, with a hint of shyness and a little joy in his eyes, scratching the back of his head and leaning in front of Lin Wanwan:
"Bend... Bend, I can go downstairs and sleep on the couch. ”
That's what he said, but Lin Wanwan clearly saw something called "expectation" in this person's eyes, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and secretly complained in his heart:
False seriousness.
Seeing Lin Wanwan quietly looking at himself but not answering, the expectation in Ren Yu's eyes slowly dissipated, and was replaced by loss.
The whole person is like a wet golden retriever dog, shaking his wet tail, silently moving the quilt on the bed, ready to sleep in the living room honestly.
Even when he was moving the quilt, he used his self-concealed sight to secretly look at Lin Wan's face.
Lin Wanwan felt funny when he looked at him, and he was ready to appreciate it for a while.
When Ren Yu was about to go downstairs with the quilt, she stopped him:
"Okay, stay here, it's not comfortable to fall asleep on the sofa."
Ren Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly put the quilt in his hand back on the bed like the wind, for fear that Lin Wanwan would regret it.
Lin Wanwan smiled, she was not so conformist, and she did not stick to the rules before the end of the world.
The time spent with each other in the last days is stolen from the hands of death, and when you have time, you should try your best to be with people who deserve it.
Since she promised Ren Yu, she will cherish the time she spent with him.
Lu Yan and Mu Tang didn't have any awkwardness at all, after all, they either slept in the same room or in a car, and they were not separated at all.
Mu Tang took it for granted that Lu Yan should be with him, if Lu Yan said that she wanted to live separately, it is estimated that she would be unhappy in the first place.
The room was full of dust, Lin Wanwan used his ability to condense water and put it in a basin, and the four of them began to clean the room simply.
There are only a few pieces of bedding that are still covered with dust, and it is definitely unrealistic to wash them, so you can only pat the back hard and try your best to pat the dust off.
Lu Yan carried two futons into the yard, and let the mud hold one corner of the quilt in his mouth for easy patting.
The dust rolled in the air with the strength of the beating, Mu Tang wanted to step forward to help, but Lu Yan didn't want her to be disgraced, so he stuffed a bag of crystals into her hand and asked her to stand next to her and wait obediently.
Of course, Ren Yu was reluctant to let Lin Wanwan do this, so he hurriedly moved two stools and asked the two ladies to sit down, and then followed Lu Yan to pat the dust together.
Lin Wanwan was happy and relaxed, pulling Mu Tang to watch the two men work.
Lu Yan cleaned up the dust and went back to make the bed again.
Tidying up housekeeping is a compulsory course for recruits, Lu Yan's movements were neat, and he made the bed neat and tidy in less than two minutes, and even folded the quilt into tofu blocks.
Ren Yu was embarrassed, his father was very used to him, he was a big young master before the end of the world, and in layman's terms, "the grains are not divided, and the limbs are not diligent".
Although it is not so wasted that you can't even make a bed, it is not good at all.
The sheets were like pickles fished out of a pickle jar, lying crumpled on the bed board.
Ren Yu was a little anxious, and the movements in his hands became even more flustered.
First, he was anxious to perform in front of Lin Wanwan;
Second, he knew that sorting out housekeeping was a compulsory course for recruits, and he had already decided to join the army, and even wanted Lu Yan to take him. In his heart, Lu Yan is already his "chief", and he can't fold the quilt well in front of the "chief", but he is really panicked.
Lin Wanwan watched him pull the sheets, and went to pull the quilt corners, doing things in a completely unorganized manner, and couldn't help sighing, and went over to help.
Lu Yan didn't care about these two young people, and fetched water to let Mu Tang wash his face and wipe his hands.
The little girl wiped her face with a towel, stopped suddenly, stuffed the towel into Lu Yan's hand, and raised her little face with her eyes closed, the meaning was self-evident.
Lu Yan felt her closeness, and the corners of her curved mouth never came down, just like she had done countless times before, carefully wiping Mu Tang's face with a towel.
His expression was focused, his eyes did not miss a single detail of the little girl's face, and the soft towel gently scratched the delicate skin.
After Mu Tang cleaned up, Lu Yan was ready to pour out the water and wash himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the water was beaten, Mu Tang was already waiting with a towel beside him.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, naturally knowing what Mu Tang wanted to do, he coughed dryly, and said unnaturally:
"I'll come by myself, you go and rest."
Mu Tang shook his head and stubbornly looked at him with a towel.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Yan took the lead in defeat and sat on the chair in resignation.
Mu Tang smiled instantly, holding a wet towel and smiling, approaching the "innocent victim" sitting in the chair step by step like a bully.
Lu Yan was happy with the intimacy with his girlfriend on the one hand, but he was very uncomfortable on the other hand.
Because of family reasons, he has been very independent since he was a child, and it seems that no one has ever wiped his face in his memory, and now someone wants to wipe his face, which is actually quite embarrassing.
Mu Tang learned from Lu Yan's appearance, and wiped all of Lu Yan's face decently, not even letting go of her neck, if Lu Yan hadn't stopped it in time, she could unbutton Lu Yan's clothes and wipe the place under her clothes.
Lu Yan really didn't expect that the "family mission" of a primary school student could finally reach this point, and he really made a fuss.
Mu Tang didn't think about it so much, he casually threw the towel into the basin, bent down and held Lu Yan's face and kissed it the thin lips, and smacked his lips at the end, and said decently:
"Goodnight kiss."
Then he jumped up and down with the basin and walked away.
Lu Yan stood in the courtyard for a long time before he barely calmed down his restless mood, straightened his clothes with a smile, and went back to the room.
