Chapter 62: Excessive Requests (1/2)
Sheriff boyfriend?!
The stepmother was completely stunned.
She never thought that Lee Eun-hye, a good student who had been studying obediently at school, would secretly fall in love with the sheriff.
In the past, as a "mother", she would definitely persuade and correct Lee Eun-hye's love 'mistakes' based on her own duties.
But now, she was extremely happy.
Lee Eun-hye was able to be taken care of by the sheriff's boyfriend and was able to return home safely.
She was very considerate, took out two pairs of plush slippers from the shoe cabinet, and changed them into the two people who entered the house.
Then he bent down to pick up Lee Eun-hye's sneakers.
She was turbulent inside, her face was not shocked, and she did not accuse Li Enhui of the "early love" incident, but was concerned.
"Enhui, your shoes are dirty, I'll take them to wash you later."
"No need." Lee Eun-hye was a little surprised that her stepmother didn't educate her like an elder.
She hurriedly reached out and snatched her shoes back.
I don't want to be hurt by my stepmother.
Perhaps Lee Eun-hye's father has completely accepted her stepmother, but in her opinion, her stepmother will always be the third party in the family.
After all, a stepmother is a stepmother, not a biological mother.
The estrangement of blood relationship is a natural barrier between the two.
The stepmother's kindness was rejected by Lee Eun-hui, but she was used to it and didn't feel anything reciprocated.
Still smiling softly, he turned to look at Zheng Xun.
"Sheriff, see that your clothes are also dirty, hurry up and change them!"
"There are also a few new men's models at home, you can try them."
"No need." Zheng Xun also refused directly, the police uniform was not stained with blood, it would not bring them risks, and there was no need to change it.
"You're welcome, you're Eun Hui's boyfriend, and we're a family." The stepmother took the initiative to step forward and reached out to take off her coat for Zheng Xun.
Just as her fingertips were about to touch the iron arrow, Zheng Xun took a step back, avoiding her hand.
Only then did the stepmother discover that Zheng Xun was carrying a blood-stained crossbow on his shoulder.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth lightly, showing a look of surprise, and at the same time, a cold sweat broke out on her body.
Li Enhui, who was standing next to him, saw the situation and quickly explained: "The bow and crossbow are used to kill zombies. ”
The frightened stepmother nodded stunned, afraid for a while.
Fortunately, Zheng Xun avoided it at that time, otherwise the bow and crossbow with zombie blood would cut his fingers, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
She settled down and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry...... Grace, then you go to the shower and change your clothes. ”
"It's all ready for you, put it in the bathroom window."
"I'll entertain the sheriff, and I'll make you some porridge right away."
"Sheriff, come and sit down, you're welcome."
The stepmother motioned for Zheng Xun to enter the living room, and then prepared to take the shoes from Li Enhui's hand.
"Throw away the shoes." Zheng Xun looked at the shoes in Li Enhui's hand.
The mother and daughter struggled to brush the shoes, which gave him a headache, and said directly, "The shoes are stained with blood and may cause infection." ”
Lee Eun-hye reacted immediately and let go of the hand holding the shoe.
"Hmm...... The sheriff is right, there are new shoes at home, and you can try them on to see if they fit. The stepmother walked over to the dining room and brought a plate of tea and placed it on the table.
Then I found a garbage bag, packed up the dirty shoes, and threw them in the trash can outside the door.
After the stepmother finished cleaning her hands, she found that Li Enhui was still in place, and reminded in confusion, "Enhui, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take a bath and change your clothes." ”
Lee Eun-hye glanced at Zheng Xun.
Zheng Xunduan sat on the sofa and didn't say anything, motioning for Li Enhui to take care of herself.
She was almost collapsed and weak, her mouth was sore, her tongue was numb, and her hands were so tired that she couldn't lift them.
Coupled with the fact that I haven't eaten a full meal for a few days, I have reached my physical limit if I can survive until now.
She shuffled with heavy steps toward the house.
Either way, wash your face, mouth, and neck first.
The sticky stuff sticks to the body, like a thin layer of skin.
The stepmother, who was attending tea, suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Lee Eun-hye's walking posture.
"Enhui, what's uncomfortable?"
Lee Eun-hye ignored her, holding her waist and continuing to walk towards the house.
The stepmother poured a cup of tea, handed it to Zheng Xun with both hands, and asked with a smile.
"Sheriff, there's a bathroom upstairs, would you like to wash up?"
"Thanks, no." Zheng Xun still refused.
The stepmother smiled and nodded, indicating understanding.
"I'm sorry, you sit down for a while, I'll go see the favor."
"It's fine." Zheng Xun took the teacup and put it on the table casually.
The stepmother caught up with Lee Eun-hye and helped her into a room.
Since the whole villa is extremely quiet, any slight movement can be heard clearly.
Zheng Xun's ears heard the conversation between mother and daughter in the room.
"Do you have a sore butt?"
"Don't touch ......!"
"Why are you all red?!"
"Wrestling."
"I'll give you the medicine, it's better sooner."
"Leave me alone, I'll do it myself."
"When did you fall in love, you are still a sheriff."
......
Zheng Xun, the culprit, looked around.
The ceiling of the living room is raised directly to the second floor, which is seven or eight meters high.
The large crystal chandeliers are extraornly gorgeous, and the golden light fills the room, and the decoration style is extremely extravagant.
"There's no power outage here."
Zheng Xun remembered that after burning down the school, the power suddenly went out, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.
On the way out, I passed through many streets, and the surrounding buildings were also plunged into darkness.
It is no longer the same as before, and there are a few lights on in the high-rise buildings.
But in this area of Heiseong-dong, you can still turn on the lights with electricity.
This indicates that Seoul's power supply system is faulty, unable to maintain the normal power supply of the city, and local power outages are beginning to occur.
If this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before the whole of Seoul will be left without electricity.
Unless you have your own power generation device, you must be prepared to enter a state of survival without electricity.
After a while.
Lee Eun-hye's stepmother, with a shackle on her shoulders, walked out of the house.
She went into the kitchen and came out with a plate.
A bowl of green vegetable white porridge and a plate of spicy white kimchi were placed on it.
The stepmother walked over to the coffee table, put down the plate, and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
"I'm sorry to let you sit here alone for a long time."
"This is my specially boiled porridge, you can taste it first."
She pulled her hair back to the base of her ear, and smiled gently and shyly.
It's just that his face is slightly pale and his eye bubbles are slightly puffy.
Obviously, I haven't slept peacefully in the past few days, which makes the whole person look very tired and tired.
"Thank you." Zheng Xun did not move his chopsticks.
Even if you confirm the identity of your beautiful stepmother, you can't go wrong with being careful at this time.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself to you yet." The stepmother smiled embarrassedly: "My name is Jin Meiqing, and I became Eunhye's mother almost three years ago. ”
"Zheng Minyi, who used to work in the Gangnam District Police Department." Zheng Xun used the name on the police officer's card.
"It turned out to be Sheriff Zheng...... Thank you very much for sending a favor home. Jin Meiqing showed gratitude.
"Speaking of which, Grace Dad, he also works at the Gangnam District Fire Department."
"But now......" Jin Meiqing was melancholy, wiping the corners of her dry eyes, "I'm sorry to ......"
"Have you been in contact since the outbreak of the virus?" Zheng Xun asked.
A beautiful woman who lives alone at home can still live safely until now, at least without dementia.
"Grace Daddy may have been at work at the time and couldn't answer my call." Miharu's stepmother shook her head in disappointment.
The zombie virus has broken out, and the whole city has fallen into a state of emergency, and the busiest are probably the police and fire departments.
She said helplessly.
"I wanted to go to the nearest shelter and try to find it, but it was too chaotic that day."
"Plus Eun Hui hasn't come home, I'm worried that she won't find anyone when she comes back, so I stay at home and keep watch."
"In the next few days, I hid at home and didn't dare to turn on the lights, and I never went out."
"There is still some food stored in the underground cold storage at home, which is enough to support it for a while."
"It's good to wait until you come back, otherwise I don't know what to do next."
Zheng Xun took a second look at this villa and found that the construction area was large and the number of rooms was large.
The people who live in this part of Heiseong-dong are basically star artists and wealthy gentry chaebols.
Not only can it live a lot of people, but it can also store a lot of supplies.
Unlike his small apartment, a suite is not as good as a living room.
Even the power supply network facilities adopt a relatively independent system.
If the entire Seoul is without power, Heesung-dong will also be one of the last precincts.
Overall, in the downtown area of Seoul, Heiseong-dong is indeed a very good place.
He didn't intend to stay long, so he stood up and took his leave.
Meiqing's stepmother was stunned and quickly stood up.
"Oh..... Wouldn't Sergeant Zheng sit for a while, and she will come out as soon as she takes a shower. ”
"No need, let her have a good rest." Zheng Xun was indeed exhausted today, and couldn't help but yawn several times in a row.
He wanted to go home early, and he could still hold the cool leather pillow and sleep well.
With Lee Eun-hye's cleverness, he must know what to say and what not to say.
And the vote she handed in at school was heavy enough.
"But it's so dangerous ...... outside!" Meiqing's stepmother showed a worried look and kindly persuaded him.
"It's okay, there aren't many zombies in this area, just be careful to avoid them." Zheng Xun walked towards the gate and changed into leather shoes again.
Miqing's stepmother followed, her hands folded in front of her stomach, and remained silent.
Seeing that Sheriff Zheng was about to push the door and leave, she seemed to be worried about something, and suddenly spoke.
"That...... Really, thank you so much, Sheriff. ”
"It's just...... If it's convenient, can you please find a favor dad? ”
From Meiqing's staccato words, Zheng Xun probably sensed the excessive request she wanted to make.
"I know it's too much, but it's too pitiful for her to lose her father......"
Zheng Xun stopped opening the door and looked at the slightly lonely stepmother behind him.
If you do one thing and can complete the transaction between two people, then you will naturally be twice as happy.
"I can grant your request."
"But next time I ask."
"Please don't refuse."
