Chapter 282: Lu Qing is afraid of what he can't see
The imagined picture did not appear. The picture seen in the golden vertical pupils was the same as what Lu Qing saw with his eyes before, without any changes.
Feeling relieved, Lu Qing controlled the one eye on her forehead to close again, and then walked towards the dining table.
"Thank you for your hard work, come and eat." Mother said after seeing Lu Qing coming over.
"Um."
Nodding, Lu Qing sat on the wooden chair and looked at the dinner plate on the table in front of her. There was a piece of dried meat that had just been heated.
This is the only food at home. It should be the harvest from her father's previous hunting in the background of the dream. She has gone to the kitchen to see the remaining food. Even if she saves on eating, she can only last for one day.
But that only refers to the situation of eating two meals a day. If I haven't found any food at the moment, it doesn't seem impossible to eat only one meal a day. In this case, I can persist for two days.
Putting the dried meat into his mouth and chewing it, Lu Qing ate the meat but did not tell his mother what he was thinking.
Whether you insist on it for one day or two days, there is actually no difference. Lu Qing doesn't care much about it.
If the mother wants to eat in two separate days, then she can eat in two days. If she doesn't want to, she can eat it in one day. After all, there is no point in persisting for one more day.
At least that was the case for Lu Qing. To be fair, the food on the dinner plate was not enough to fill her teeth, let alone restore her strength so that she could hold on for a while longer.
"..."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very quiet. Everyone was eating the food in front of them quietly. Mother simply didn't speak, while Lu Qing was thinking about something.
The younger sister, for some unknown reason, secretly paid attention to Lu Qing while eating, as if there was something on her face.
The younger brother originally wanted to chat with his younger sister, but seeing that the other party had no intention of talking, he closed his mouth and quietly ate the food in front of him.
There wasn't much dried meat, but Lu Qing finished all the food on the plate in half a minute. She stood up and left the table.
She was not familiar with these family members, and had nothing to talk about. She couldn't find a topic, so she naturally wouldn't stay in the living room after dinner.
Lu Qing glanced at the notice board. So far, no reminder had appeared in the diary, and she didn't know if there might be any more important information that she had skipped.
To be honest, when she met the corpse, she had hoped that the diary would appear and give her some hints, even if it was just about whether what the corpse said was the truth.
Unfortunately, the diary does not provide any hints. The hints in this diary seem to be probabilistic and will not appear 100% of the time.
After waiting for a while, Lu Qing walked out of her room.
She wanted to chat with her brother and sister to see if she could get any information. Of course, it was also possible to ask her mother. There was plenty of time, and Lu Qing could talk to everyone.
As for why you didn't ask during the meal...
There were a lot of people at that time, so if possible, she wanted to ask them separately, so that she might be able to get more information.
After walking around the house for a while, Lu Qing quickly found her younger brother who was squatting in the corner, wondering what he was thinking.
Stepping up to her brother, she squatted down, forming a shadow that covered his head.
Sensing Lu Qing's arrival, his younger brother raised his head, looked at Lu Qing, and whispered: "What's the matter, sister?"
"Well...it's nothing." Shaking her head, Lu Qing thought about how to speak. After thinking for a while, she asked: "What are you thinking about while squatting here?"
"I'm just in a daze." The younger brother replied honestly.
"Are you in a daze when you have nothing to do?" Lu Qing asked pretending to be curious.
"Well, because my mother said it's very dangerous outside and I can't go out to play, I want to play with my sister at home, but she doesn't like to move and often sits in one place in a daze. I have nothing to do, so I can only sit here." The younger brother's voice said.
He said sounding a little aggrieved.
He was at the age where he was active and playful, but he was trapped at home because he was surrounded by forests. He only had one younger sister among his peers, but he couldn't play with him, so he could only stay at home and suffocate every day.
It's normal to feel uncomfortable.
"Then do you know what dangers there are outside?" Lu Qing continued to ask after listening to her brother's words.
The younger brother looked at Lu Qing with a puzzled look, but still nodded. After nodding, he seemed to have thought of something. He shook his head again and said: "I don't know exactly, but my mother said there are cannibals outside.
Monster, and..."
There was a look of fear on the younger brother's face and he said: "At night, there are often scary sounds coming from outside. Sometimes, I can hear someone knocking on the door in the living room."
"I once told my mother about this matter, and she told me that I must not open the door and just ignore it."
"Is there a knock on the door at night?" Lu Qing frowned and couldn't help but feel a numbness in her shoulders. What she hated most was this kind of thing, invisible spirits and so on.
She is not afraid of ghosts that she can see, just like Muir's Little Blue and the Ghost Cow, she is not afraid of things that she can see.
But this situation, when Sangen knocked on the door in the middle of the night but there was no one in the living room, to be honest, she was a little scared...
"What are you afraid of? Even my brother is fine with this thing, how could it hurt me!" Lu Qing encouraged herself in her heart.
Forced not to think about this matter, Lu Qing looked at his brother and continued: "Do you know anything else?"
"Hmm~" The younger brother shook his head and said, "No more, I only know so much."
"That's it..."
Looking at his slightly shrunken brother, Lu Qing smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed his head, and then left.
Arriving at the door of her sister's room, Lu Qing knocked on the door and waited for a while.
"Crunch...."
The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and my sister walked out holding a slightly worn bear doll. She stared at Lu Qing with her dull eyes for a while, and then said slightly coldly: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's completely different from the cute aura she had when she was asleep. I didn't expect her to be so cold when she was awake. No wonder her brother didn't dare to come and play with her." Lu Qing thought as she looked at her sister who exuded a cold aura.
In fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is cold, but it is more appropriate to say that it is mature. Lu Qing was still thinking that even if her sister didn't like to play around, the younger brother, as an elder brother, should take the initiative to find her to play with.
Now it seems that there is a reason why the younger brother doesn't go to play with his younger sister...
"You know what? Your brother really wants to play with you." Lu Qing ignored her sister's breath and casually sold her brother.
"Brother?" My sister frowned, and then said: "He is too childish, we can't play with him."
