Lu Qing opened the door to the room without much energy and walked out.
Of course it wasn't that she didn't sleep well. In fact, she didn't sleep all night.
Of course, even if she didn't sleep all night, she shouldn't be so tired. The main reason was the scenes she saw last night.
Although she has broken away from those scenes, it is almost impossible to forget them.
The more he didn't want to think about it, the easier it was for Lu Qing to recall it, especially the tree roots that were constantly crawling under the wooden board.
As for the white ball of light?
The feeling and emotion generated when seeing the white ball of light cannot be reproduced by imagination alone. At this moment, the tree roots that affected her the most were the ones that affected her the most.
After all, the roots of the tree are right at her feet...
Glancing vaguely at the wooden board under his feet, Lu Qing seemed to be able to see that under where his feet stood, tree roots one after another were constantly entangled together. The density was so dense that it could even put trypophobia patients on the spot.
passed away.
Somewhat absent-mindedly, she walked to the window, and through the cracks in the reinforced wooden boards on the window, Lu Qing saw the gloomy sky outside.
"Is it raining?"
Frowning, Lu Qing came to the door of her room. The door that sounded like it had been pushed open last night was still closed, and it looked like it had not been opened at all.
Lu Qing ignored this matter, but opened the door and looked at the sky outside.
Sure enough, she was not wrong when she was in the house. The dark forest at this time was already covered by a layer of clouds, and countless raindrops pitter-pattered on the ground and leaves, making the already muddy ground even more muddy.
Moist.
This is not good news. According to Lu Qing's original plan, she was going out to look for food today. Even if she was not looking for food, she still needed to explore the terrain near her home.
However, the rain completely ruined her plan. If it were in other dreams, the rain would not stop Lu Qing from going out, but here...
The light in the forest is dim, which is not a problem. Lu Qing's eagle eyes can allow her to see objects in the dark clearly, and she can also rely on her own physical fitness to contend with the mud on the ground.
But there are other dangers buried in the rainy days of the dark forest.
Lu Qing looked at the water beach on the ground. The water had not turned into the dark color of the river at this time.
But this is only near her home, and no one can guarantee how much rainwater will accumulate before it turns into a deadly black color.
"Only mutants can survive in this forest." Lu Qing seemed to be able to hear the forest speaking to her.
Of course, this was just Lu Qing's imagination. In fact, there was no strange sound in her mind. The reason why she thought so was entirely because of the current situation.
Only mutated creatures are immune to Black Water, and Lu Qing is obviously not on Black Water's immunity list.
After closing the door, Lu Qing could almost imagine how many troublesome problems the villagers living in the village would encounter.
But this has nothing to do with her. She only needs to try her best to get her family out, or if possible, take her family out. As for what will happen to her family in the dream after she goes out, that is not her business.
And just when Lu Qing closed the door, her mother opened the door to her room and walked out.
"Ah Qing, did you go out just now?" Mother seemed to have heard the sound of Lu Qing closing the door, and asked with a worried look.
"No." Lu Qing shook her head and said, "I just heard the sound of rain outside, so I opened the door to take a look."
"It's fine that I didn't go out..." After hearing Lu Qing's answer, her mother breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Lu Qing's clothes, and there was indeed no trace of them being soaked by the rain.
"I know." Lu Qing nodded, and then walked towards the house. When she turned around and saw her mother, for some reason, she felt that something was wrong with her mother's expression, and she looked listless.
"Huh?" Lu Qing's walking movements suddenly paused for a moment, and then returned to normal.
She just suddenly realized a problem, mother, why should she worry about whether she would get exposed to water? Does she know about black water?
If this was a village, it could be explained. After all, there were many people in the village, and it was normal for someone to be poisoned by black water.
But Lu Qing's family is an Orion family far away from the village, and after the forest was surrounded, their family should have been isolated from the village.
How did the mother know that there was something wrong with the black water? Could it be that the father did not actually disappear during a hunt, but was poisoned by the black water?
Lu Qing thought quickly, but had no intention of asking her mother.
After going through what happened yesterday, she can say with certainty that her mother definitely knew something and was hiding it from them. As for the reasons and reasons for the concealment, she does not know yet.
The only thing she can be sure of is that the mother has no ill intentions. She loves her children very much, well, including herself...
Lu Qing felt a little complicated when she thought of this. Her mother's embrace yesterday seemed still vivid in her mind, which was a bit unforgettable.
........
Time passed quickly. Because it was raining outside, Lu Qing had nothing to do. He could only stay at home and daze, occasionally throwing one or two pieces of wood into the stove to keep the flame burning in the stove, and from time to time.
Glancing at his brother squatting in the corner.
The younger brother was still leaning in the corner of the room, while the younger sister stayed in her room and did not come out.
This was the Nth time today that Lu Qing looked at his brother squatting in the corner. For some reason, like his mother, Lu Qing also felt that something was not right with him today.
This time it was not from his demeanor or expression, but from a feeling. Lu Qing felt that something was wrong with his brother, and had a very strong sense of strangeness.
And just when Lu Qing was thinking about the source of the strange feeling on her brother, a smell of meat suddenly entered her nose.
"Um?"
The tangy aroma of meat entered her nose, but Lu Qing was not in a happy mood because she suddenly remembered what her mother said to her yesterday.
There's a lot of food in the basement...
If the food in the basement was not meat, she probably ate it despite her doubts, but if it was meat, it was related to a secondary goal of hers.
[Don’t eat meat from unknown sources]
This secondary goal made it hard for her not to think there was nothing wrong with the meat.
Just like that, after Lu Qing, who was in a complicated mood, had been thinking wildly in the living room for half an hour, her mother walked out of the kitchen, holding a piece of fried meat on each of the two plates in her hand.
Obviously, this was more than the amount of food left in the kitchen, and the remaining food was dried meat, and it didn't look like it could be fried like this.
There is something wrong with this meat!
PS: The second update, I am exhausted. In fact, I should have finished writing it a long time ago, but halfway through writing, I suddenly thought of a better follow-up, so I temporarily revised it and conceived a new plot direction for a long time.
That's why it came out so late...
Oh, by the way, the Lun family has a new avatar, have you noticed it?
