Shu Xiaoshu was very surprised to see that the ‘results’ of cheese today were not expired cans or opened cans, but new ones, and even a lot of frozen meat.? ?
She already knew that the child had been out looking for food recently.
Although there are thousands of people in my heart who are unwilling to let Cheese do such a thing, this family has always been in a state of balancing expenses and no savings. If it weren't for Cheese... and other children who are younger would naturally not be able to do such a thing.
As for Shu Xiaoshu himself, it is even more difficult to move.
"Cheese, tell me honestly, where did you find these frozen meats?"
Cheese has been very smart since he was a child. When he heard Shu Xiaoshu's tone at this time, he knew that his mother was beginning to doubt him, but he had already thought of how to deal with it.
So, Cheese lowered his head, trying not to let Shu Xiaoshu see his face, and said like a child who had done something wrong: "Mom... I'm sorry, I, I'm going to find those dad's former colleagues.
"
"Shu You's..." Shu Xiaoshu was stunned.
Cheese still lowered his head and said: "Those human uncles and aunts in the cleaning company, after hearing what I said about dad... After dad was not around, they took pity on me and gave me money. I went to buy you food."
"Oh... you child." Shu Xiaoshu felt heartbroken and desolate, and hugged the child tightly with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, let me make this meat for you first. You have to eat more!" Cheese changed the subject at this time and said: "If you don't eat it, your brother or sister in your belly will also eat it!"
"Good boy." Shu Xiaoshu sighed, "I'm embarrassing you."
"Mom, I'm fine!" Cheese raised his head and showed a big smile: "I'm going to get food right now! My brothers and sisters haven't eaten anything delicious for a long time!"
"You go ahead." Shu Xiaoshu smiled reluctantly, and then returned to the room, which was actually just a corner of the basement separated by curtains.
There is also a youngest daughter who is still in the form of a beast and needs constant care.
After seeing Shu Xiaoshu lift the curtain and go in, Cheese frowned and then gently rubbed his arm.
When he was pinched by the giant rat demon, his muscles and bones were probably injured, but he could only endure the hug just now without daring to make a sound.
Cheese quickly took a deep breath, cheered up, and started tinkering with the meats in his hands.
He prepared the food, helped his younger siblings eat, and then looked after Shu Xiaoshu. He didn't stop until Shu Xiaoshu and the other younger siblings fell asleep.
But it's almost midnight.
Cheese left the basement alone and came to the open space in front of the old house. There were several cement pipes placed in the open space. Cheese sat on them alone and started to stay awake while looking at the moon in the sky.
How long can we maintain this kind of life?
That market... I'm afraid I won't be able to go there again.
Tomorrow, do you want to find another place? Otherwise, as for food...
I won’t go to elementary school.
Come on, cheese.
You are no longer a child. You have to take care of the family and take good care of your mother and younger brothers and sisters.
He was talking to himself silently... talking about some things and truths that he could think of and understand at his age.
Be strong.
Cheese suddenly shed tears... Be strong.
He shrugged his shoulders slightly, wishing that he could have someone to rely on at this time... a shoulder that, even though it was not spacious, could bring safety.
When he was very young, Cheese remembered that Shu You would often carry him to this place and start looking at the moon and stars. There was no extra entertainment at that time, but Shu You could always tell many interesting stories.
Suddenly, Cheese reached to his collar and took out an iron whistle, which was a gift given to him by Shu You before.
Over the years, Cheese has cherished this whistle because Shu You once said, if you encounter danger, blow this whistle.
Of course, Cheese knew when he and Shu You were 'looking for treasure' nearby, and Shu You couldn't hear it if they were too far away.
How long has it been since the whistle was blown?
In fact, the whistle never blew because Cheese never thought that one day he would not be able to find his father.
And the sound of the whistle...
Cheese said to himself: "It turns out it really sounds like the sound of a hummingbird."
He blew the whistle over and over again.
Of course, he didn't dare to use too much force and just blew it gently. Cheese told himself that it was just for this night. After tonight, he would never blow it again. It was actually useless...
It cannot make oneself strong, it can only make oneself weak.
It was too late, and it was time for Cheese to take a rest. In less than two weeks, he seemed to have completed the transformation from boy to man in one fell swoop, thinking of ways to become more self-disciplined.
However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly felt like there was some sound behind him, so he turned around instinctively.
ah!
Cheese suddenly let out an exclamation, and his body suddenly slipped down from the cement pipe!
He saw a...'thing' that had given him a terrifying experience!
However, before his body fell to the ground, Cheese felt that his body suddenly became stable. His body was rolled up by something, rolled up, and finally gently placed on the place where he was sitting!
This is... the tail of this 'thing'!
This, in the underground pipes of the city, rescued him from the rat demon and then left without saying a word...the weird 'thing'!
It squatted quietly beside itself, its hands just placed on the pipe, while its tail behind it swayed gently and tilted its head.
The cheese appears...it doesn't seem to be as scary as imagined.
"You...are you here to find me?" Cheese became bolder at this time, but did not dare to get too close, and asked cautiously: "You...who are you?"
It seemed like it couldn't speak. Cheese just saw the eyes of this 'thing' click and opened and closed quickly.
This is, do you understand...or don't you understand?
"Do you have a name?" Cheese continued to ask curiously.
This thing still didn't answer, but Cheese felt that it seemed to be staring at him...the whistle he was holding in his hand.
Cheese was stunned. He subconsciously blew the whistle again, and then found that the thing reacted again. The tail behind it obviously swung faster.
Could it be...
But...how is that possible?
Cheese smiled bitterly, then shook his head.
He glanced at this thing, and the two looked at each other like this. After getting along for a while, Cheese tried to sit slightly closer to each other.
"How about I call you Iron Whistle?" Cheese suddenly said, "...Well, since you didn't say anything, that means you agreed?"
It... Tiexiao blinked his eyes, as if to say: I can't speak.
"Iron whistle! Hahaha!"
…
…
In a certain room of the forensics department of the bureau.
"Chief Qin, it's so late, why don't you leave?"
"I've finished taking care of this, you can get off work first." Lao Qin didn't turn around, but he just raised his head at this time while he was looking at the microscope lens, "Don't worry about me."
"Okay, section chief, you can take care of yourself."
Chief Qin is a well-known workaholic... He even sleeps directly in the company sometimes. The highest record is that he didn't go home for half a month.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Lao Qin gently pinched his brow and shook his head vigorously. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then looked at the lens of the microscope again.
What it magnifies is the strange mucus found at the murder scene during the day...
"What kind of structure is this?" Lao Qin looked at it and murmured to himself: "It's not a liquid at all...like a biological cell?"
Lao Qin's frown became more and more intense. However, he had been thinking about it for some time and still couldn't come up with a result, so he planned to do something to expand his ideas.
Lao Qin took a deep breath, put on another pair of white gloves, and then picked up the scalpel. He planned to conduct an autopsy overnight.
