The scorching sun had been tightly covered by thick dark clouds at some point, and the darkness made people feel extremely depressed for no reason. There was a dull sound between the clouds.
Song Yao looked curiously at the dark clouds outside the car window and whispered softly, "It's not going to rain, is it?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of thunder, followed by a huge downpour of rain, which hit the small tricycle crazily, making a dense and dull sound.
Song Yao felt that it was a bit stuffy in the car, so she quickly rolled down the window to get some air. The cool wind blew over her cheeks. Song Yao's tense nerves were relieved for a moment, and she exhaled comfortably. come out.
"The wind is blowing so pleasantly!" Song Qun on the side saw this and quickly rolled up the car window.
When Jiang Li, who was concentrating on driving the tricycle, looked up in the rearview mirror, she found several cars following far behind. She couldn't help but frown, and then silently increased her speed. Song Qun on the side seemed to notice it too. The situation at the rear was a little uneasy for a moment.
But fortunately, the few cars behind them were not coming towards them. They turned at the fork to the left bank. They had to admit that this made Jiang Li and Song Qun relieved.
Jiang Li, who was driving the car, suddenly thought of the things in the back of the car. She hesitated in a daze about whether to move the things in the car in front of the Song Qun brothers and sisters when they got home. A series of electronic sounds rang out, the main one catching Jiang Li off guard.
"[Current mission progress 10/10] Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and unlocking the new achievement [Overloaded Backpack]"
Hearing this, Jiang Li almost thought that the system was taunting her from time to time, when the electronic sound appeared in her ears again, "Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting 50 defense values and 50 points, and getting the achievement reward [a large backpack that will never be overloaded]"
Jiang Li said you thought you were funny, right?
As the electronic sound disappeared, a silver-gray Q-version backpack icon suddenly appeared on the silver system panel, and Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
The next second, a silver panel with a rectangular grid appeared out of thin air. Only the ten small squares in the first row were silver-gray, and the rest were all unlocked black.
"Ding! Warm reminder: The system has one slot in the backpack, and the upper limit for loading the same item is 20+. The host please choose to load items carefully!"
Jiang Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Someone actually gave him a pillow just as he was dozing off. Although the Song Qun brothers and sisters chose to cooperate with him, it was a bit of a friendship, but in the end of the world, it is not afraid of ten thousand or anything else, so it is always better to be careful and safe.
While he was thinking to himself, he heard Song Yao looking around and curiously asking, "Sister Jiang, how far is it to your hotel?" There was no uneasiness on her face.
"Almost" Jiang Li drove the tricycle across the wooden bridge carefully. She was a little uneasy because she had never driven on a wooden bridge before, but luckily there were no accidents on the road.
The tricycle slowly stopped beside the stone steps outside the yard. Song Yao got off the car first, followed closely by Song Qun. Holding a heavy backpack, she ran to the locked door of the yard to hide from the rain. Song Yao wiped the rain on her face. Rain: "Huh, this rain is too heavy!"
"Ding! It is detected that the host has entered the range of the Doomsday Hotel."
"The store owner protection mechanism has been automatically turned on!"
Jiang Li got out of the car in the rain, opened the locked door of the truck, and put his hands on the boxes of supplies. In an instant, all the compartments in the system backpack were occupied. Jiang Li intentionally left only one box in the truck. After grabbing instant noodles, he locked the car and walked up with the box in his arms.
Jiang Li opened the courtyard door with the key, and Song Qun, a brother and sister behind him, also walked in. Song Yao, who was soaked like a drowned rat, ignored her curiosity and hurriedly ran to the eaves outside the door with her backpack in her arms. Down.
Before she could take a breath, she saw a dark shadow flash past her eyes with a "whoosh" and rushed to Jiang Li who was also wet. Dafu stuck out his tongue and waggled his tail happily, surrounding Jiang Li. Rizhuan seemed to be checking whether she was injured.
Jiang Li, who was still a little tired, couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw Dafu's happy expression and reached out to touch Dafu's head.
Song Yao had never seen such a big dog in real life. She couldn't help but curiously asked, "Sister Jiang, is this your dog? What's its name?"
"It's called Dafu." Jiang Li's eyebrows softened, and then he patted Dafu's head gently, turned around and said to the two of them.
"Let's go inside first!"
The old house has two floors, but for some reason, even Jiang Li can't go up to the second floor. Entering the door on the first floor is the main room for eating and resting. There are two rooms on the right, one is the room where Jiang Li lives, and the other is slightly smaller. The smaller one is the room where grandma lived before her death. There are also two symmetrical rooms on the left side of the main room, both of which are not large in area.
The old house has been built for many years. It looks a bit old, but it is clean and tidy. Song Qun didn't feel anything bad. On the contrary, Song Yao was a little dissatisfied, but she thought it was just for temporary repairs here. After a few days, I stopped worrying about it.
The heavy rain gradually stopped at night. Song Qun asked Jiang Li, who was busy packing her backpack, to borrow the kitchen in the yard. Jiang Li, who was busy packing her backpack, agreed without much hesitation.
The little light in the courtyard at night attracted the attention of others. A black off-road vehicle quietly drove into the left bank. The woman sitting in the passenger seat was eating the bread in her hand. She glanced out the window and saw the other side of the river bank. A flash of light caught the woman's attention.
"Hey! There seems to be only one family over there. How about we drive over there and hide?" The woman turned to the middle-aged man driving the car and said.
The middle-aged man glanced at the words and said, "It's scheduled to be delivered here, and we won't stay here for long. We can enter the safe zone of Blackwater City after tomorrow, so don't mess around."
The woman said indifferently, "It's easier to take action if you have fewer people! What do you know?"
The middle-aged man already knew what a woman was like, and he didn't bother to tell her the reason. He drove the car in the dark and turned left and right into a remote old house without saying a word.
After getting out of the car, the middle-aged man opened the door of the back seat, picked up a ball wrapped in a blanket, and was about to walk into the house, but unexpectedly, an old and alert voice suddenly sounded, "Who is there?"
The middle-aged man's heart sank, and he glanced at the woman next to him without any trace. Just when the woman was about to make a move, he heard the old voice sounding like a question again, "Is it Guolin?"
"It's my Aunt Li." He turned around slowly, with a familiar and honest smile on his ordinary-looking face.
Aunt Li walked closer and squinted her presbyopic eyes to look carefully. The next second she slapped her thigh happily, "Oh! Guolin! You are really back!"
"You haven't been back for almost five or six years, right?" Aunt Li looked at the woman next to her and asked with a smile, "Is this... your wife? Ouch! She's so pretty!"
Wang Guolin covered the woman he was holding in his arms without leaving a trace, and said with a simple smile, "This is my wife, Xiao Chen." Then he touched the woman's shoulder, "Call me! This is Aunt Li..."
The woman rolled her eyes unceremoniously, "I'm exhausted after riding in the car all day!"
After saying this, the woman turned around and walked into the house. When Wang Guolin saw this, he had no choice but to apologize to Aunt Li, and then hurriedly chased the woman into the house.
After Aunt Li looked over, she could only mutter in a low voice, "You have a pretty bad temper!"
