Chapter 64: A Happy Home
Listening to the sound of "banging" water coming from the compartment, Xiao Yao felt even more embarrassed.
It's not just the sound of water falling to the bottom of the toilet, it's a ...... The sound of a pressurized fluid ejecting under tremendous pressure.
Xiao Yao was very sure that he would not have this kind of sound when he was relieved.
The boy laughed secretly.
"By the way, that strange knight, shouldn't we be a little more guarded against him?" Xiao Yao said.
"Why?" The girl said next door, "If it weren't for people, we would be two vegetative people by now." ”
"I know," Xiao Yao thought about how to explain to Shen Jie: "But this person's origin is unknown, and it's not even easy to say whether he is a person or not, although there is no malice at the moment, but this is a ...... who pretends to be mysterious."
"You're just jealous, aren't you?" Shen Jie blurted out.
"What?!"
"Nothing." Shen Jie muttered in a low voice: "Little man's careful eyes." ”
"I'm thinking," Xiao Yao said, "After I rescue Yu Luying, I want to send you two out first, and I'll go to the rooftop to find the white knight myself." ”
"Since I'm here, I won't leave you alone." Shen Jie said in a gentle but irrefutable voice.
"I know you're bold," Xiao Yao rubbed his face: "Let's also consider Yu Luying's safety." ”
"......" Shen Jie didn't speak again.
A few minutes later, at the door of the toilet, Xiao Yao lifted his pants up again.
"Wouldn't it be nice to wash it with water, you tear off half of the map, how can I go back to that rooftop later?"
Shen Jie trembled the remaining half of the map in her hand: "What I tore off is the part that I can't use." ”
"You know you won't need it?"
"You're murdering me again?"
"If I am fierce, I will be fierce. Uh, it's useless for you to hit me! ”
By the time the two arrived at their destination, the sun was already setting.
Now Shen Jie is really a little hungry.
"Parent-child education center...... This should be it, right? The two of them put their heads together and looked at the remaining half of the map.
"I remember Yu Luying saying that she wanted to learn how to be a parent," Xiao Yao recalled, "and it should be this classroom." ”
"But no matter how I look at it, this is all an old Shikumen." Shen Jie pointed out.
"Actually," Xiao Yao told her, "this is Yu Luying's home." ”
In order to cope with the battle that might be encountered, Shen Jie reactivated her body and even tried to shoot a small fireball, but Xiao Yao still didn't know how to summon Don Quixote.
"There's no way," Xiao Yao sighed: "Do you want to formulate operational tactics and retreat plans?" ”
"I don't know what's in it, how to formulate it," Shen Jie said and went to push the door: "It's over when you see the opportunity." ”
"Wait," Xiao Yao grabbed her arm, "Without my consent, don't mess around anymore." ”
"What's the difference?" Shen Jie doesn't understand online game jargon.
"Just don't take the initiative to attack." Xiao Yao explained.
"Got it, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and followed Shen Jie into the wooden door.
If only I could save a file, he thought.
-- Dividing line --
Yu Luying's home is a typical old Shikumen house, with four or five families living in the narrow main entrance, sharing a "soap room" (kitchen) and a washroom.
It is said that it is a washroom, but it is impossible to go to the toilet or take a bath, so in addition to wiping the body with a towel dipped in hot water, you can only use a plastic bathtub.
What really belonged to the mother and daughter was a "pavilion", about seventeen or eighteen square meters, and the entrance was directly opposite the statue of the "Madonna of Pain" on the wall: in this icon, Mary frowned slightly, and pointed to her heart, where seven sharp swords were struck.
On the side of the door was a sofa, in front of which there was a small coffee table, under which lay a double bass, facing the square table where the meal was served.
The square table was against the window, and a large bed was next to the innermost corner, with a small prayer table at the head of the bed.
This baroque prayer table is small but well-equipped, and it is the most ornate and dazzling part of this modest room: a solid gold cross is placed in the center, and on the left is a foreign Latin scripture, and the whole prayer table is shrouded in the warm light of the hidden atmosphere lamp.
However, the wires running on the wall behind the prayer stand still reveal the cramped life here.
Yu Luying, her mother, Yu Lihua, and a well-dressed and handsome middle-aged man were gathering four dishes and one soup on the dining table, and when they saw them break in, they all stopped their chopsticks in shock and looked at the other side of the door.
Yu Luying was the first to react: "Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, why are you two here?" As he spoke, he stood up to greet him.
She wore a blue-and-white matriarch's skirt and a pink bear plastic slippers barefoot.
Yu Lihua also stood up, and said with kind eyebrows: "It's Yingying's classmate, come in and sit." ”
"Hello Auntie." Knowing that the other party was most likely not a real person, Xiao Yao still said respectfully.
"Come on, come on, and buy something?" Yu Lihua smiled and took the crossbow in Xiao Yao's left hand, and then pulled away the short axe that Xiao Yao was inserting.
was disarmed when he came up, Xiao Yao was also stunned, and then quickly grabbed Shen Jie, who wanted to make trouble.
The man didn't get up, just nodded at them, looking cold.
"Hello, uncle." Xiao Yao changed his shoes a little stiffly, and found that his socks were also full of mud, so he took off his socks and stuffed them into his shoes, and rubbed his bare feet on the carpet at the door.
Shen Jie didn't say hello or change her shoes, and directly stepped on the dirty dad shoes on the floor of Yu Luying's house.
"Shen Jie......" Xiao Yao called her again.
Shen Jie glanced back at him, touched the heels with the toes of her feet, took off her shoes without untying them, and walked in barefoot in dirty socks.
Fortunately, Yu Lihua didn't seem to see it, only Yu Luying consciously picked up the broom in the corner.
"Yu Luying, are you a real person?" Shen Jie went straight to the point and asked this question.
"Real people? What do you mean," Yu Luying looked puzzled.
"Don't worry, don't worry......" Xiao Yao leaned up and bit Shen Jie's ear, Shen Jie glanced at him, sat down on the sofa with a big lama, and still pinched the action in his hand that was ready to summon flames at any time.
"Have you eaten?" The middle-aged man asked politely.
"Eat." "Didn't eat it."
Shen Jie smelled the aroma on the dining table, and she was extremely hungry and replied with her index finger.
"Shen Jie......" Xiao Yao touched her again, but was bounced away by the latter.
Yu Lihua went downstairs to stir-fry, leaving only the middle-aged man and the two of them to talk about the sky.
Xiao Yao held a cup of tea in his hand, but he didn't drink it.
"You're all Ying Ying's classmates, right?" The middle-aged man sandwiched two peanuts, put them in his mouth, and took another sip of white wine.
"Ah, yes." Xiao Yao said with a dry smile.
Xiao Yao always felt as if he had seen the man's face somewhere, and now he finally remembered where he had seen it - this person was the black and white portrait of Yu Luying's father he saw when he was a guest at Yu Luying's house.
I have to say, this is really a bit panicked.
"Xiao Yao is my classmate, and Shen Jie is his girlfriend." Yu Luying introduced.
"Oh," the "Father Yu" replied lightly, "Students still have to focus on their studies." ”
"That's what you said." Xiao Yao said with a dry smile.
It's your business.
"Why are we here to play with them?" Shen Jie asked in a low voice, "After eating, I'll kill her impostor parents." ”
"Don't be so reckless," Xiao Yao bit her ear again: "You dare to eat their things?" ”
"Eat, why don't you eat," Shen Jie said disapprehantly: "You haven't drunk the tap water in the bathroom on this road?" And didn't Yu Luying eat it too? ”
"Do you know that this Yu Luying is a real person again?" Xiao Yao retorted.
"It's coming, I don't know you're coming, just fry two home-cooked dishes, don't dislike it." Yu Lihua smiled and pushed the door in with two plates of freshly fried vegetables.
"Where, where, the food is too abundant." Xiao Yao said politely and took Shen Jie to the table.
Obviously, it is unlikely that Yu Luying's "parents" are real people - it is said that Yu's father has been dead for many years, and Yu's mother saw Xiao Yao's amiable attitude, and she was also like the Yu Lihua who was in the café before, and Xiao Yao was tense.
Instead...... More like an older version of Yu Luying?
The only thing that needs to be judged is the authenticity of Yu Luying in front of her.
This is difficult, Xiao Yao nervously thought of a way.
"Yu Luying, do you remember how you got here?" Shen Jie asked while eating a lot.
"How did you get here?" Yu Luying smiled puzzledly: "Aren't I in my own home?" ”
"Think about it again," Shen Jie pulled her foot away from the soles of Xiao Yao's feet and stepped back hard: "Since you came here, has anything happened in the middle?" Have you ever lost your memory for a few days? ”
Yu Luying pressed her forehead and began to think painfully, while Yu Lihua and Yu's father also stopped their chopsticks and threw a vigilant look at Shen Jie.
Then it seems that this Yu Luying is a real person? Otherwise, why should those two imposters be so nervous, Xiao Yao thought.
"Say what?" Xiao Yao stepped on Shen Jie again, and her socks were weirdly comfortable to step on: "What's the matter, let's talk about it after eating, I haven't eaten yet!" ”
After saying this, Xiao Yao simply started, this taste is really the same as Yu Luying's family. He originally didn't plan to use chopsticks out of caution, but he was so hungry that he fainted, and he saw that Shen Jie was fine after eating so much......
Wait a little longer, wait for Shen Jie to eat, and then lift the table, and I don't know where the next meal is!
Shen Jie understood and didn't say anything more.
"By the way, I can't play with you this afternoon," Yu Luying didn't move her chopsticks: "Today is the Lord's Day, and I want to go to church with my parents to attend mass." ”
"It's good to attend Mass," Xiao Yao said with the meat in his mouth, "Is your uncle presiding?" ”
"That's right." Yu Luying said happily.
She looks genuinely happy, right? It doesn't look normal to be happy, it's not just Yu Lihua.
"Oh, your family has been Catholic for generations, huh?" Xiao Yao continued to greet each other.
"My mom yes, my dad is a new baptist." Yu Luying replied.
"Oh, that's it, it'......s because I know your mother," Xiao Yao said.
"That's right," Yu Luying said with a smile: "At the beginning, my grandmother's family still disagreed, it was my mother who argued with them on the basis of reason, talking about faith, how could they discriminate against the newly converted people......
"Eat your meal!" Yu's father slapped Yu Luying's forehead with chopsticks: "Yes and no, my parents are still in front of me, right?" ”
Yu Lihua said kindly: "Don't worry, let's chat." ”
Xiao Yao wondered in his heart, and recalled the confrontation between himself and Yu Lihua in the café.
If this fake Yu Lihua is really - for example, the real Yu Lihua in Yu Luying's memories - why did she also marry a foreign teacher convert in the first place, and argue with her mother's family, but now "the dragon slayer has finally become an evil dragon"?
It is possible that this Yu Lihua does not conform to the real character of Yu's mother, and it is also possible that Yu's mother uses faith reasons to oppose her relationship with Yu Luying, which is just an excuse.
After the four of them finished eating, Shen Jie reluctantly went down to help Yu's mother wash the dishes at Xiao Yao's request, Yu's father sat on the edge of the bed and smoked, and Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sat on the sofa and knocked melon seeds.
In fact, Xiao Yao was the only one who was eating melon seeds.
"What year is it?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying in a low voice.
"In 2004, you slept stupidly?" Yu Luying said with a smile.
Xiao Yao noticed that "Father Yu" looked at him again.
"You...... Are you having a happy life? Xiao Yao stubbornly continued to ask.
"Happy, happy," Yu Luying replied with a smile: "You are so weird today, ask these strange questions?" ”
"Hmm......" Xiao Yao scratched his head, confused again. Yu Luying, whom he knew, would never describe his life like this.
"Is Daddy good to you?"
"Very good," Yu Luying glanced at her father, who was smoking: "Dad accompanied me and my mother to the amusement park yesterday, and bought me a cute little dress......
As she spoke, Yu Luying raised her leg and accidentally kicked the coffee table in front of her, letting out a muffled snort.
A sharp pain passed from Xiao Yao's foot and thumb to the cranial nerves.
That's right, symbiosis! Since he was separated from Yu Luying in the mirror, this connection has been broken, and Xiao Yao still thinks that the symbiosis in the world will not take effect?
He reached into his trouser pocket and twisted himself hard.
"Ahh Yu Luying screamed in pain.
"What's wrong?" Yu's father and Yu's mother looked at it together.
"No, it seems that I was stuck on the sofa by something...... Yu Luying stood up from the sofa and looked back at the sofa.
"Shen Jie, go down for a walk with me and have a chat." Xiao Yao greeted Shen Jie, who was washing dishes.
"Ah, okay." Shen Jie screwed on the faucet and wiped the sweat on her chin with her right shoulder.
Yu Luying is living happily now, Xiao Yao thought.
I have never seen Yu Luying so full of vitality.
If this is her paradise, then it is false, do I have the right to break this paradise and drag her back to the original truth full of all kinds of unsatisfactory truths?
Does she really want me to do that? Or is it just a one-sided kidnapping by me?
What is true and what is false?
I have to discuss it with Shen Jie.
