"Is it Young Master Ling? Knowing that you have returned to the capital, the old men and ladies in the family are very happy, I am the servant of the third master's family, and now I am working in the old house, and my surname is Hongyan. ”

The middle-aged maid who greeted Ling Shengxi should have been a rich person before the end of the world, and after losing a lot of weight, her facial muscles were relaxed, and she looked a little strange when she smiled.

Now that the modern society has turned to the end of the world, the maid still uses the old name. She cherishes the opportunity to work in the Ling family, zombies and mutant beasts are rampant outside, and it is safest to stay in the safe zone.

The Ling family has an extraordinary status in the capital, and has collected many supernatural people, Wang Hongyan can only stay here and not be afraid in her heart.

Ling Shengxi bowed slightly, his eyes fell on the rockery in the courtyard, he had some impressions of this rockery, when he was a child, his cousins played hide and seek.

Everyone was so happy in and out of the rockery, he was weak and had no strength to run, and he watched with envy on the side. Later, after the cousins and cousins left, Ling Shengxi quietly hid in the rockery, who would have thought that he accidentally fell asleep.

He frightened the maid who had taken him before, and everyone looked for people everywhere, and finally found Ling Shengxi in the rockery, it was almost dark, and he was frozen by the cold to the point of a serious illness.

After recovering from his illness, Ling Shengxi's parents were worried that something would happen to him again, so they sent two nannies to follow him.

Seeing the rockery, Ling Shengxi thought of his childhood and his kind grandparents.

"Aunt Wang, grandpa, grandma and grandparents, are they okay?"

Ling Shengxi asked such a sentence when he entered the door, Wang Hongyan suppressed her smile, and glanced at Ling Shengxi with a hesitant expression, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Her sudden voice made Ling Shengxi feel an ominous premonition in his heart, and he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and asked, "The four old people are not feeling well?" ”

The two of them had already walked to the rockery, Wang Yanhong sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said with a sad face: "Little master, I can't hide it, the old man, the old lady and your maternal grandparents drove to the west one after another before and after the end of the world. ”

Ling Shengxi suddenly fell silent, unconsciously put his hand in his pocket, and touched Shu Ange's fluffy little head to find comfort.

After she upgraded again, she had a skill that became bigger and smaller as she wanted, the largest can be like a house, and the youngest is like a chicken chick that has just been born for a long time.

Shu Ange listened to the movement outside, his heart was full of sympathy for Ling Shengxi, and rubbed his palm with his head.

The strange touch made Ling Shengxi come back to his senses, and his heart was full of gratitude to Shu Ange, and his mood eased a little.

"I know, take me to see my parents first, and then I will pay homage to the four old people."

Wang Hongyan listened to Ling Shengxi's words, and was full of emotion: "It's enough for the young master to have this heart, go this way, the eldest lord and the lady are waiting for you." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wang."

The king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, in order to prevent Aunt Wang from secretly doing evil, Ling Shengxi has a very good attitude towards her.

"Target person's opinion +15, current opinion 55."

Shu Ange curled up in Ling Sheng's pocket, and the sound of the system raising made her feel extremely happy.

Ling Shengxi silently walked with Aunt Wang to the depths of the courtyard, and found that they were getting more and more deviated and came to the Ling family's courtyard.

He was puzzled in his heart, but Aunt Wang turned around and said respectfully: "Young master, the eldest master and the lady are in the house, please come in." ”

It's strange to say, Ling Shengxi hasn't returned for a long time, and it stands to reason that no one in the family will show up, but he walked all the way in the yard and didn't meet a master, and even his parents didn't come out to pick him up.

Feeling cowardly, Ling Shengxi pushed open the door with a complicated feeling, and before the words "Dad, Mom" could be shouted, the person was stunned.

I saw a man with gray hair and a vicissitudes of life, who looked to be in his fifties, and a wrinkled woman sitting in the room, with vegetables on her face.

This...... Is this still the young and strong father and gentle and dignified mother I was at the beginning?

Although Ling Shengxi hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, he usually videos with his parents and relatives, and he has the impression that they look like they are thirty or forty years old.

What's going on? Before Ling Shengxi could come up with a reason, two familiar voices came into his ears at the same time: "Xiaoxi, you...... You're finally back, why don't you say it in advance. ”

Ling Xiaohe and his wife looked surprised, and at the same time, they stood up from their humble chairs and walked towards him excitedly.

Ling Shengxi was even more strange, the news of his return had obviously come back two days ago.

"I just arrived in the capital not long ago, Mom and Dad, you are-"

He and his father hugged each other tightly, and at the same time turned his head to ask his mother questions, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.

The appearance of his rapidly aging parents, Ling Shengxi saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

After he asked, his mother lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing, but her expression contained countless thoughts.

Ling Xiaohe let go of his arm, shook his head and let out a heavy sigh: "Alas...... It's hard to put into words, it's hard to put into words......"

Ling Shengxi was about to ask, but was interrupted by Ling Xiaohe: "Xi'er, did you tell your family in advance when you came back this time?" Have they prepared a reception feast? ”

"Them?"

Ling Shengxi didn't know who these two characters were referring to, so he asked.

"Oh, blame me for not making it clear, it's your uncle and aunt, whether they prepared a reception feast."

After Ling Xiaohe added an explanation, Ling Shengxi shook his head lightly: "No, I haven't heard of such a thing." ”

"It's too unusual!" Ling Xiaohe was so angry that he slapped the dilapidated table, but the table immediately fell apart with a "click".

The furniture in the house was so broken that Ling Shengxi suspected that these things had been brought back from the garbage heap.

"Xiaohe, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and the sea is wide-" The mother hurriedly comforted.

Ling Shengxi raised his head and looked around in the small and cold room, feeling that all this had changed a little inexplicably, and said to his parents: "Parents, this place is too small to turn around and talk, let's go back to your house." ”

After hearing this, the couple lowered their heads together, and after a while, Ling Xiaohe raised his head and said with difficulty: "This is the house we live in. ”

"What...... What? Ling Shengxi suddenly felt incredible, and at the same time keenly realized that something must have happened related to his parents.

Otherwise, in the old mansion of the Di Ling family, where countless spacious and bright rooms are located, how could my father, as the head of the family, live in such a place with my mother.

He was about to open his mouth to ask, but his father looked up at the clock and said to his mother, "It's all past the meal, why hasn't the food been delivered yet?" ”

The mother said helplessly: "Alas, the recent meals have been delivered more and more late. ”
