Translator: 549690339
The moment he stepped into the old building, Lu Xin felt a strange sense of oppression.
The entire corridor was silent, without a single sound. Only some light from outside came in through the gaps between the people in the concrete building, allowing him to vaguely distinguish the layout of the building. The empty rooms were lined up neatly on both sides of the corridor, like silent guards or a prison. The closed doors and cobweb-covered corridors made the old building look lifeless.
From time to time, he could see some stray cats and mice rushing out from the stairs or the holes under the doors. Some of them were fighting each other, while others turned around to look at Lu Xin quietly before quickly running into some unknown corner.
The younger sister followed behind Lu Xin as they climbed up the stairs.
She sang softly and seemed to be in a good mood.
“Little doll, wuyaya, looking for mommy with bare feet.”
“Mommy is hiding under the bed,”
“Let’s not tell him!”
“Little kid, you’re hungry. Lie on the bed and don’t say anything.”
“Daddy is preparing to cook.”
“He laughed when he saw the doll …”
Lu Xin couldn’t help but stop in his tracks. “Little sister, you don’t have to sing anymore.”
The younger sister hung upside down and straightened her body, her black hair hanging down. She giggled and said, ‘”‘Brother, you don’t like it?”
“You’re way out of tune,” Lu Xin said with a nod.
The younger sister was hanging upside down. She swayed and did not know how to answer.
Slowly, they reached the fourth floor. Looking ahead, there was a gap of light that squeezed through the gap of the door.
In this cold and empty old building, only the house had warm lights.
The younger sister had stopped singing and jumped down from the corridor, landing on Lu Xin’s back.
“Don’t be afraid.
Lu Xin knew that his sister didn’t want to enter the house at this time, which meant that his father must be very angry.
He comforted his sister and walked to the door. Then, he slowly pushed the door open.
More light shone on her face, but it was not as warm as before. It was a little depressing and glaring.
Lu Xin squinted his eyes to get used to the light in the room. Then, he saw that the room was in shambles, as if it had just been through a war. Cracks could be seen everywhere in the furniture and even the floor. Even the ceiling had an eye-catching and huge scratch. There was not a single piece of complete furniture in the entire house, and there were traces of destruction everywhere.
In the middle of the room, Lu Xin’s father, who was wearing an apron, was sitting silently at the dining table, the only chair that was still intact. When he saw Lu Xin enter, the blood vessels in his eyes became even more obvious.
Her mother was leaning against the wall, talking on the phone and smiling. miss Chen, what are you worried about? it’s fine. It’s just a few robbers who came into the city. It’s been solved. My son is working in the relevant Department …
Just trust me. Don’t worry, have a good rest.”
His father suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table. The table that had already cracked in half collapsed.
The loud noise stimulated everyone’s nerves in the room.
trash, they’re all a bunch of trash. They deserve to be used and killed by others His father stood up angrily. His eyes were scarlet red and blue veins appeared on his forehead. It was as if a few snakes were slithering under his skin.
As he shouted in anger, the row of knives hanging in the kitchen trembled slightly.
The light bulb hanging in the living room also trembled slightly.
The room also began to shake.
In the end, Lu Xin felt the old building shake slightly.
“Hiss .
Lu Xin’s sister peeked her head out from behind him and growled at her father.
“Tell me, are you a good-for-nothing?”
Lu Xin’s father yelled as he made his way toward Lu Xin, his fingers almost poking Lu Xin’s face.
He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Lu Xin as he yelled, “”You’ve been out all night, but what did you do?”
“You’ve let all those people go!”
you’ve been deceived by others. You’ve run until your legs are broken, but you’ve never done anything good .
Lu Xin looked at his father in silence.
Even though his fingers were almost on her face, she didn’t move or even blink.
Alright, alright. You’ve been throwing a tantrum for the whole day and you’re still not stopping. Isn’t the child back already? ”
Behind her, her mother hung up the phone and walked over with a light smile.
“Everyone’s here now.”
“Shouldn’t we also have a family meeting?”
Out of the four people in the room, the anger on the father’s face had not subsided. He turned his head and looked at his mother fiercely.
“Haven’t you had enough fighting?” his mother just smiled at him.
His father’s breathing suddenly became much heavier. He gritted his teeth and there seemed to be an earthworm crawling on his forehead.
“What mother said makes sense.”
At this moment, Lu Xin slowly opened his mouth. He looked at them quietly and said, “”lt’s indeed time to have a good talk.”
His father heard his words and immediately turned to look at him.
that’s right. We’re a family. What can’t we sit down and talk about? ”
Lu Xin’s mother was all smiles as she walked gracefully to the sofa and sat down. Lu Xin, on the other hand, glanced at his father before sitting down on the other side of the sofa with his sister in his arms. They all waited quietly for their father to sit down.
His father seemed to have been angered by their contemptuous attitude and was even angrier.
“Huala …”
He pulled the chair beside the dining table over and sat down heavily, looking down at the person on the sofa.
The atmosphere in the room started to become stiff and heavy.
There was an invisible force that seemed to have been accumulating, and no one knew when it would reach the point of explosion.
“I think I did nothing wrong.”
After Lu Xin sat down, he fell silent for a moment before saying, ” since I’m getting this salary, I should help others solve some problems. Just like the old principal said, everyone should do their job well so that society can operate normally … Also, she helped me protect the people in the orphanage, so I have to protect the people in the satellite town for her first.”
His father’s face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye when he heard this.
A fierce look almost shot out from his eyes.”You’re still saying this now? If you protect others, who will protect us? Whatever job, whatever position, they’re just using you. They’re just using you as an excuse!”
“Do you think they will be grateful to you? They can’t wait for you to die!”
you’ve helped them do so many things, but their first reaction was to guard against you and follow you …
“So, you should let them die …” otherwise, everyone in this family, everyone will be killed by you …
His words were like steel needles, piercing into Lu Xin’s mind and stirring it up, giving Lu Xin a headache..
