The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as the sky outside the window was bright, Chen Jing got up from the bed.

He hadn't slept all night.

Fortunately, after transforming into an old descendant, his physical fitness is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and he doesn't feel anything special after staying up a few nights in a row.

At least you don't have to be like the original, always afraid that you will die suddenly and no one will collect your body at home.

After getting up, Chen Jing first went to take a hot bath.

When he came out in a yellow bathrobe with Pikachu on it, and saw the mess in the living room, he only felt a headache......

"Did you sneak out last night?"

“……”

"What are you looking for?" Chen Jing reluctantly picked up the broom and started cleaning, picking up an empty bag of potato chips casually, "You won't be looking for food, right?" ”

“……”

Seeing that Bai Aji didn't dare to speak out, Chen Jing also knew the answer.

Forget it, don't blame it.

After all, I said yesterday that I would invite it to eat barbecue, but as a result, the barbecue meat went into Li Mobai and his stomach.

"Remember to clean up the garbage after eating, throw the trash can when you should throw it away, don't litter it on the ground, understand?"

"Good!"

Hearing this crisp reply, Chen Jing felt like a mother for a while.

How is this like bringing up a child?

Obviously, I haven't even found a target yet, but I actually lived a life with a baby in advance...... But it's okay, at least the kid is obedient.

"Yes, that's the trash can, and all the messy things, throw them in for me, remember to close the lid after throwing away the garbage!"

At the moment, the living room looks like a swamp.

There was a black liquid like asphalt all over the place.

Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the lazy sofa, teaching Bai Aji how to throw out the garbage with his paws, while holding a popsicle and chewing slowly.

Although the claws of the beasts that emerged from the black water looked very strange, it was undeniable that they ...... This guy learns really fast!

It was almost time for Chen Jingdu to think about how to teach it to do laundry, cooking, and housework.

With the help of Bai Aji, in just half an hour, the messy rental house was completely new.

Even under the "erosion" of those asphalt-like liquids, the floor is as bright as a mirror, and even a speck of dust is invisible.

Chen Jing gave a thumbs up to Aji with satisfaction, and did not hesitate to praise himself.

"Good boy, you really don't poke!"

Children do well, parents have to praise, after all, to cultivate children's enthusiasm for housework to start with praise......

It wasn't until he was embarrassed that Chen Jing started to walk around the room on the phone.

He had to take stock of what he needed to take with him, as he would be moving to Sentinel Ridge soon......

"Yes, Brother Zhao, I don't want this half month's salary, and my sudden resignation will also affect you...... Okay, then I'll be right over in a minute. ”

Hang up.

Chen Jing immediately began to pack his luggage.

In fact, there are not many things that need to be taken away, except for electronics, there are no large items.

The furniture in the house is basically the landlord's, and as for the lazy sofa and those miscellaneous things that he bought later, he has no intention of taking them with him.

The landlord is an old aunt.

When she first came to rent a house, she exempted Chen Jing from the deposit because of Chen Jing's "beautiful and delicious" appearance, so now she suddenly quits the rent and wants to move out, which makes Chen Jing a little embarrassed......

But fortunately, he has already paid next month's rent in advance, and the rest of the rent will be compensated, and like this kind of hardcover small apartment in the downtown area, it should not worry about the source of customers.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, do you think the rent is too expensive?" The landlord and aunt on the other side of the phone were still persuading hard, and her tone was extremely sincere, "If you think the rent is not suitable, Auntie can come to talk to you!" ”

"Aunt Zhang, it's mainly that there's something going on in my hometown...... When I come back from my busy work, if I still have the opportunity, I will definitely rent your house again! ”

"Are you leaving tomorrow? Why not be two days late? The landlord on the other end of the phone was extremely enthusiastic, "Auntie is here to cook you a meal?" ”

"No need, Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, mainly because they have said that they have said that they must go back tomorrow......"

For this old aunt who would come to ask for warmth every once in a while, Chen Jing was still a little scared in his heart.

"Aunt Zhang! I've cleaned up my house! Put the keys on the fire cabinet outside when I leave tomorrow! Remember to pick it up! ”

Before the landlord could say anything, Chen Jing hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your care, I'll hang up first when I get a phone call here! I'll get back to you when I have the chance! ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jingchang breathed a sigh of relief.

The luggage had been packed by him and placed at the entrance.

What he has to do now is to hurry up and go out to the company to go through the resignation procedures.

Although the company is not far from where he lives, it takes time to go through the resignation procedures, and he does not dare to delay......

When Chen Jing returned to the rental house again.

It was already evening.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw Li Mobai standing downstairs smoking a cigarette.

"I thought you were going to release my pigeons!" Li Mobai ran over the moment he saw Chen Jing, and he was still complaining, "Didn't you ask you not to run around!" ”

"I went out for something ahead."

"Where did you go?"

"Go through the resignation procedures." Chen Jing held a cup of milk tea in his hand and drank it unhurriedly with a straw in his mouth, "I plan to go back to Sentinel Ridge to live for a while." ”

Hearing this, Li Mobai seemed to be slightly stunned.

Although the change in this micro-expression was almost fleeting, Chen Jing could see it clearly.

"Why did you suddenly think you want to go back?" Li Mobai asked quietly, his worried look didn't feel like it was pretending, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

"Well, my grandfather is missing." Chen Jing sucked a pearl with a straw and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"Your grandfather is missing?! When was this?! ”

"Yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday......"

Chen Jingmian said without changing his face, and repeated the set of words used to deal with the police.

He said.

While observing the expression on Li Mobai's face.

"The old man called me that day and said that he was not feeling well, so I hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back to see ......"

Chen Jing sighed and put on a sad expression.

"You also know that the mountain road on my side of my house is not easy to walk, and I was a little heat stroke that day, so I walked relatively slowly, and it rained heavily before I got home, so I had to find a place to shelter from the rain at night......"

Li Mobai listened very carefully, and he didn't know why he was serious.

"When the rain stopped, I went home and saw that my house was like a thief, and the old man was missing......"

"Did you call the police?" Li Mobai asked.

Chen Jing nodded, his expression becoming more and more helpless.

"Of course I called the police, and I was asked to wait for news first, they are still investigating, but I want to go back and take a look, maybe I can find any clues......"

"When are you leaving?" Li Mobai frowned.

"Tomorrow."

Chen Jing yawned, cleaned and went through the resignation procedures, and he was a little tired after a busy day.

"Didn't I promise to accompany you to the class reunion, I just had a good meal tonight, and I will be on the road early tomorrow morning."

"Why do you sound so unlucky......

Li Mobai looked at Chen Jing helplessly, feeling that this kid's temper had not changed, and after so many years, he could still make people angry with a few words.

"Otherwise, I'll send you to Sentinel Ridge now, I'll accompany you, or I'll let you go back alone."

"It's okay, I'll just go back alone...... Chen Jing smiled, "Shouldn't we go to the hotel at this point?" ”

At this moment, Li Mobai seems to have lost the mind to go to the classmates' meeting to eat melons and listen to gossip.

I saw that his face was solemn, as if he was also worried about the disappearance of Grandpa Chen Jing.

"Are you going or not?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to a class reunion?" Chen Jing said helplessly, "If I don't go, I'll go home and cook, I'm hungry......"

"Go! Go now! Li Mobai came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm parking the car outside, let's drive over directly!" It's only 10 minutes away! ”

"Do you have an umbrella in your car?" Chen Jing suddenly asked.

Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said no.

"Then you wait for me to get home and get an umbrella." Chen Jing pointed to the cloudy sky overhead, "I estimate it's going to rain tonight." ”

"Rain? The weather forecast didn't say anything about it......"

Li Mobai raised his head suspiciously, only to find that the sky had already changed.

"What's going on...... It wasn't like that just now......"

He remembered very well that when he got out of the car ten minutes ago, there was still a blue sky and white clouds overhead, but now it was a black oppression.

Heavy rain clouds were surging wildly in the sky, and they seemed to be closer than ever to the ground, as if they were going to fall down with the sky at any moment.

"It's going to rain."

At this moment, Chen Jing smelled an extra damp smell in the air.

"You go to the car and wait for me first, I'll be here soon."
