When Dean got home, it was dark.

Paqui also got off work, his burly body draped in an apron, and he became a muscular chef cooking tomato pasta in the open kitchen, next to steaming lamb stewed and mixed with vegetable salad.

The air was filled with an appetizing aroma, Dean took a deep breath and looked right,

"Who are you, and where did you tie up Paqui?"

"What nerves?" The big man stirred the food in the pot and didn't look back,

"My uncle can only cook darkly, and your cooking skills are not bad."

Paqui waved the spoon horizontally and made a vicious gesture to wipe his throat, "I can't improve?" ”

"I see, it's the credit of Teacher Kelly Chen." Dean returned to the table with lamb stew and salad, and looked at his uncle, who was dressed as a family cook, and sighed, "Once a man starts to pursue a woman, his taste in dress and cooking skills will evolve in all aspects." ”

Paqui nodded calmly and ostentatiously, "Did you have a good time today?" ”

"Jonathan is a bit of an introvert, but he has good camera skills and gives me some inspiration, and he invites me to listen to music at home tomorrow."

"I didn't see that your kid has a bit of social talent, and he will convince a super introverted teenager in one day, and he will continue tomorrow." Paqui brought the two plates of pasta to the table and divided them, and the two began to enjoy a hearty dinner, "Jonathan's brothers are as masculine as they used to be, and you can go and guide them." Just give Joyce back the favor. ”

"Alright then, to get back to business, did you hear from Jane Seymour?" Dean quickly and unhurriedly forked the noodles,

"All I found out was that she had never been to Hawkins Middle School and hadn't been in town for the last year or two."

"I'll give you a week, if you can't find a clue... I'm not going to continue to be a babysitter. ”

"Stinky boy wants to be beaten again?"

"Come on! Don't cry in pain like you did last night! ”

……

Soon after, the man who lost his second five-game losing streak shrank into the living room couch with a sweat towel around his neck, a can of beer in his hand, and turned his attention to a soap opera called "Dallas" on the television.

Dean went back to his bedroom, locked the door, and changed into dark clothes.

Standing in front of the bedroom window and jumping down the second floor.

Whew-

Under the bright moonlight, a huge black shadow like a bat vibrated its wings and flew to a stop thirty meters above the ground with the icy air current.

Dean began to fly and patrol the entire neighborhood, scanning the interior of the houses on the side of the road with God's Perspective, inspecting the wonderful nightlife of the people of Hawkins...

……

Early the next morning, Dean drove to Jonathan's house, and just after driving a short distance, a bicycle drove down from another house on the hillside, and just fell in front of the car.

"Good morning, I'm Dustin Henderson. I've never seen you before, are you a new neighbor? ”

The boy looked to be about ten years old, and he was very warm and friendly, without the mischievous mischievous nature that boys of his age.

"Good morning, I'm Dean Lew, who just arrived yesterday and live at number 36 on the hillside." Dean slowed down, let the bike follow him to his window, pulled a snack out of the on-board supply bag and threw it on, and landed it in the bicycle basket.

"Wow, creamy polo candy, my favorite, thanks buddy!" Dustin smiled and narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth wide, and that's when Dean noticed that his mouth was empty, toothless like an old man, a proper toothless boy.

Because he has no teeth, his speech is also a little leaky.

"Next time, Dustin, I'll go first."

……

"Good morning, Jonathan."

"Welcome," Jonathan welcomed the guest into the living room, taking the gift a little crampedly, "Have you had breakfast, I just baked bread." ”

"Thank you, I've already eaten it."

Dean looked around at the same time and turned on the God's perspective scan, this house is obviously a grade lower than the house in Paqui neighborhood, there is no second floor and basement, upholstery, cabinets and various miscellaneous items occupy the aisle of the living room, carpets, furniture and electrical appliances are all over the years, under the background of coffee-colored wall cloth and carpet, crowded and messy.

In addition, Dean noticed that the lawn outside their home had not been manicured, overgrown and extremely untidy.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to clean yet," Jonathan said, scratching the back of his head and feeling a little ashamed, "it's a mess at home." ”

"No, it looks cozy."

"Dean, this is my brother Will, who is currently in fifth grade in Hawkins." Walking through the restaurant, Jonathan introduced a little boy sitting on the dining table drinking milk, with a pot lid, who seemed to be a little malnourished, his arms and legs were as thin as chopsticks, his skin was pale, and his facial features perfectly inherited Joyce's advantages, delicate and handsome, and there was a small mole on the upper lip on the left side, which made his temperament more feminine, and he thought he was a shy little girl if he didn't pay attention to it.

"HI, WILL," DEAN TOSSED HIM A CREAMY POLO CANDY.

The boy took the candy and wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth, tilted the lid of the pot, and asked timidly, "Are you Dustin's new neighbor, the one who just moved to the hillside?" ”

"If you're talking about Dustin as the little fat guy with no teeth, that's true, but I only saw him for the first time half an hour ago, how did you get the news so quickly?"

"We have a unique way to connect... And it's not that he doesn't have teeth, he's sick, skull clavicle hypoplasia..."Will clenched his glass, and defended his friend with a serious but weak tone.

"I remember."

"Nadean, Dustin and I have one mage left in the Dungeons & Dragons team, are you coming, we can go to fight Demogorgen together in the afternoon!" The tension and timidity on Will's face quickly eased, and his eyes sparkled,

"Haha, I'm still a beginner magic apprentice, and I haven't even mastered the magic of the 1st ring, so I can only hold back when I join you, and I'll talk about it when I hone it stronger."

After breakfast, at Jonathan's suggestion, the three of them went to the bedroom and admired the beautiful photos they took yesterday.

Then the trio began to listen to music, all kinds of rock music from the 70s and 80s, such as David Bowie's "Space Oddity"

Ground command calls Captain Tom

Eat the nutrients and put on the helmet

Ground command calls Captain Tom

The countdown begins, and the engine starts

……

The three of them sat on the edge of the bed, staring into the roaring radio, shaking their heads and swinging their bodies in unison to the tormented Elvis Presley's voice and absurd screams, like three fools.

"Do you like it, man?"

"Yes, the style is unique," Dean nodded heartily, "for weirdos like us!" ”

Jonathan had a smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to take out a bunch of his own collection of tapes, "There are also a lot of good songs, pick and choose, which one you want to hear!" ”

Dean took a look at it and quickly picked out a few of them, with the familiar song title printed on them, yellow, amazing days, tears in heaven...

"I'm a fan of the band Good Morning." Jonathan and Will said in unison, "Their songs must be bought as soon as they come out." ”

"You two brothers have good tastes," Dean recalled, recalling his uncle's plea, and slowly encouraged, "especially you, Jonathan, have such a good taste in music and take beautiful pictures. You have a lot of artistic talent, and you should develop in this area in the future. ”

"Do you really think so?" Jonathan exchanged a happy look with Will beside him, then tilted his head unconfidently, shrunk his shoulders and shook his head, "No one ever said that. ”

Dean suddenly reached out and slapped Jonathan's back hard, his palm running down his spine, and the latter suddenly sat up uncontrollably and slightly stiff back.

"Sit up straight, keep your head up, and be confident! Yes, it looks a lot taller, and it is more popular with girls. Also, when communicating with people, look into the other person's eyes, don't dodge the gaze, Jonathan, you haven't done anything bad, don't be weak-hearted. ”

"Who's weak-hearted?" Jonathan, as if his pride had been hurt, retorted with a red face,

"Yes, you're not weak," Dean said, "you can help Joyce take care of the whole family, you can work to earn money to support yourself, you know, you're much better than those peers who only know how to pretend to be cool and handsome, drink and smoke grass!" At least more than ninety percent. You're just too lazy to bother with them. ”

Will, who was next to him, looked at this strange scene and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Dean's sturdy figure is infinitely enlarged, becoming a majestic and relatable legion commander in the DND, while his brother becomes a humble light infantry under his command.

"Will..."Dean turned around suddenly, staring at the timid little boy next to him with blazing eyes, and patted his stiff shoulder, the latter seemed to have been immobilized, his body tensed, and he didn't dare to breathe, "Speak a little louder, well, smile more, didn't Joyce and Jonathan tell you, you look very handsome." ”

"Well..."

"Be louder."

"Got it!"

Will chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

Dean smiled with satisfaction, he didn't expect to change the character that the two brothers had cultivated for many years in a short period of time, that was unrealistic, he just wanted to help the two of them reduce their inferiority complex and cowardice as much as possible.

The next few days became very regular.

Dean spends his nights with his uncle in wrestling and martial arts, in the wilderness to practice guns, and then flies around the town of Hawkins, meditates on the red dragon as usual, and wakes up from a nightmare in time.

During the day, I accompanied the Jonathan brothers to listen to rock music, drove around the town, went to the mall to capture various images with the camera, and photographed Catherine Medici, the big beauty of ice cream auctions.

On the stress-free days of vacation, Dean's auditory hallucinations and nightmares began to subside rapidly, and he stepped through the photographer's door with one foot.

……

That evening, Pakui, who had just gotten off work, untied his suit and tie in front of the dressing mirror, and rubbed his tired face.

"I've got two pieces of news about Jane Seymour, one good and one bad, which one to listen to first?"

"Bad news." Dean leaned against the bedroom door frame without thinking.

"Jane Seymour used to run a trinket shop in Hawkins, and she and Lena were peers, so they had a conversation, but unfortunately, Jane died in a car accident five years ago... Buried in a cemetery north of town. ”

Dean was so disappointed that they had been working for a long time, and the person they were looking for had died.

"Jane died in the hospital room?"

Paqui didn't know the meaning of the question, but answered truthfully, "I died on the road in a car accident." ”

Dean's face sank, for someone who died in the open area outside, his current ability was not able to channel.

I can't communicate with Jane's soul.

"The good news is that Jane has left behind a son, Peter, who is now being raised by her aunt Lucia, who has returned from abroad, and lives in the town. ”

"Does this aunt know about Lena and the light?" Dean asked,

Paqui shook his head, "Lucia has only been here for five years, so it stands to reason that I don't know your parents. ”

"And how old is Peter?"

"I'm eighteen years old and I attend Hawkins Middle School."

"Lena and Bright passed through the town nine years ago and their whereabouts are unknown," Dean sighed, "and Peter was only nine years old at the time, can he remember the clues?" ”

"We have no choice but to try it out with him." Paqui pulled on his tie, turned around and walked down the stairs, "Let's go, change into formal clothes and go to the hospital!" ”

"Why did you go to the hospital?"

Paqui's serious words made his heart sink in his heart, "Peter is sick, and very sick. ”

"Shet, did you learn math from your wrestling teacher, these are two pieces of bad news!"
