"My conscience, Mom, there is no need for me to lie. Last time I threw away the red dates and cereals that had been in your refrigerator for two, three, or even five years. I didn't admit it honestly. Why don't I admit it now?"
It is obviously impossible for Li Fan to admit to something he has not done.
Seeing no one admit it, and still firmly believing that the things in the refrigerator could not disappear for no reason, Ouyang Juan had to turn her suspicious eyes to her daughter, Li Lan:
"Xiaolan, is it you?"
My mother-in-law passed away three years earlier than my father-in-law. Since my father-in-law passed away, there have been only four people in their family.
It's impossible for her to throw it away without any memory, and the other two people don't admit it, so they don't doubt who her daughter suspects?
There are only four living people in the family!
"Mom, it's not me." Li Lan, who had just come back and was sitting in the living room playing with her mobile phone and waiting for lunch, also refused to admit that the matter had anything to do with her and quickly blamed her:
"I'm not that hardworking, really!
I must say it was my brother who did it. He is the only one of us who is a habitual offender and has thrown away things at home. Think about it, you bought too much laundry soap, some of which has expired for a year or even two years. I have never asked about it. Bar.
It disappeared later. My brother threw it away. Of course, he also bought some new ones for you. "
"Don't talk nonsense. I threw away the expired things at home without telling you and bought some new ones. Isn't it for your own good?
It's ***, I've always acknowledged it.
If you're not a ***, don't slander me. "
After rolling his eyes at his biological sister who wanted to blame him, Li Fan continued to speak confidently.
He did it, he never denied it.
He didn't do it, and he couldn't admit it!
Ouyang Juan also had a headache now. She didn't recognize anyone, and at the same time, none of them seemed to be lying. So where did those things go? Can they still grow wings and fly?
“Mom, how about some barbecue for lunch?
Didn’t you promise to bring lard to your colleagues? Since there is no lard in the refrigerator, let’s boil some now!
Don’t you still have a lot of peeled pork tweed in the freezer? "
Li Fan looked at his mother's troubled face and thought she was worried that she had made a promise to a colleague and was embarrassed that she couldn't get anything out, so Dang even gave her thoughtful advice and even opened the freezer and took out the peeled pork belly.
However, Ouyang Juan did not accept this kindness:
"Don't interrupt. Things can't disappear for no reason. There could be a thief in the house. But there's no reason not to steal expensive and delicious things. Instead, they stole expired ones and some leftovers. Is this a thief or a thief? Helping you clean the refrigerator? That's so weird.
If there is really a thief, so many of us are unaware, and it is very scary. No, you can analyze it carefully for me, what is going on, I always feel on tenterhooks if I don’t understand it, please think about it! "
"Recall carefully, did you find anything wrong? Is there anything missing?
Recall them all carefully for me and think about them carefully. "
The actual value of things that disappeared inexplicably was not very high. It didn't matter whether they were lost or not, but the key was that they disappeared inexplicably. This made Ouyang Juan a little scared. She felt like she had entered a house that she couldn't see or touch. The feeling of an invisible thief.
The unimportant things were gone today, and whether the important things would be gone tomorrow. If she didn't find out, she really couldn't stand it, and she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
"It feels like there's nothing missing."
"Recently, Dad seems to be eating better than before, and he doesn't leave much leftovers. Does this count?"
"What do you mean I don't keep any leftovers? It's obvious that the leftovers seem to have become less recently. Sometimes I don't even have enough to eat at night. It seems like I have a lot left over at noon, but not so much at night. Yes. Didn't someone add another meal at three or four o'clock?"
"No......"
"Wait a minute, I feel like something's not right. I have some unfinished takeaway food in the refrigerator.
, or the cut fruit that has been cut but not eaten will disappear inexplicably, but I always thought it was my dad who ate it, so, dad, were you eaten? "
"I haven't eaten. Those takeaways you ordered are so spicy that I can't get used to them. Guoqie might eat a few pieces when I see them occasionally, but I never finish them."
"Well, if my dad didn't lie, the things in the refrigerator would disappear for no apparent reason."
"Is it possible that there is another person in our family?"
"I watched a TV series a few days ago. The food at home would always disappear a little bit inexplicably, or consume more than before. Later, after installing surveillance cameras, I discovered that someone had been secretly living in their house.
Eat and wash up when no one is home. "
"It's impossible. We just have a bigger place in our house. If we really want to hide someone, where can we hide it? Don't talk nonsense. I feel so scared when I hear it."
"Please, Xiaolan, I've seen the TV series you're talking about. It's a villa. It has a basement and a lot of empty rooms. Our house has a total of four bedrooms and one living room. There is no one except the room that serves as a storage room. Outside of entering and exiting, there’s no one walking around anywhere!”
"Maybe it's hidden in the storage room."
"Why didn't you say he was lying under the bed? The storage room is full of things. Where can he hide them? In a plastic bag or in a cardboard box? The most important thing is that there are so many things in the storage room. If you really hide them in there, not a single one of them can be hidden. It’s easy to make some noise if you’re careful, okay, don’t think blindly.”
At this moment, although their family had discussed and reminisced, they noticed that the food consumption at home was a bit abnormal. There would always be leftovers in the refrigerator for no apparent reason. Recently, there was a lot less wasted food.
But how exactly was it lost? Who stole it?
They really can't figure it out.
Later, they even reluctantly believed Li Lan a little bit, and went through the storage room, looking under several beds, in wardrobes, and other places where someone might be hiding, but naturally they found nothing. . Apart from being exhausted and sweeping the dust under the bed, which was considered a general cleaning, no trace of outsiders was found.
At this time, Qu Jie spoke.
It was their refrigerator that made the sound:
"Jianguo, Juan'er, don't look for it anymore. I took all the lost things and gave them away."
In order to facilitate communication, Qu Jie specially imitated Li Zhu's voice at this time, which was the voice of their biological father, father-in-law and grandfather who had died less than two months ago.
Now that everything has been discovered, instead of waiting for them to install surveillance cameras, and through the surveillance video, they found out that the root cause of the problem was not that strangers came in and out of the house, but that there was a problem with the refrigerator itself, and then something else happened, or Frightened.
He even smashed the refrigerator like a monster.
It is better to take the initiative and speak up.
Immediately afterwards, the four people who were resting on the sofa in the living room were undoubtedly stunned for a moment, especially the two named by Qu Jie. One of them looked at his wife with dull eyes and muttered, "I think I heard my father." The sound is coming. Is it an auditory hallucination? Did you hear that?
Another one replied with a hint of horror:
"I think I heard it too."
"We all heard it." This was what Li Fan and Li Lan said in unison, but the two of them were a little bolder. After being stunned for two seconds, they immediately stood up. One yelled who was pretending, and the other Carefully recall the source of the sound and explore its source.
"Stop looking, look in the refrigerator!"
When Qu Jie said these words, the advertisement on the refrigerator display immediately disappeared and turned into the appearance of the elderly Li Zhu, but it was not the haggard look he had when he was seriously ill, but younger, with a rosy complexion. The shiny appearance, this picture was of course created by Qu Jie.
At the same time, the authenticity is extremely high.
It’s no different than a live person videotaping them.
"Dad..." Li Jianguo, who had already walked to the refrigerator, suddenly collapsed emotionally when he saw the figure on the screen, and shouted with slightly red eyes.
Ouyang Juan didn't say anything, just a little stunned.
I was even vaguely scared inside.
After all, a person who had been dead for nearly two months and whose body had been cremated and buried suddenly spoke again. It was a bit scary no matter how you thought about it. Now that he didn’t scream or was frightened and collapsed, it was already because they were closer to each other. If it were another person, A strange dead person suddenly made a sound and showed his face. It would not be too much to be frightened and faint on the spot.
Only Li Fan and Li Lan were quite calm and not afraid at all. Among them, Li Fan even cursed directly:
"Where are you liars? You even hacked into the screen of my refrigerator. You even got a photo of my grandfather and made such a fake avatar. Was it made by AI or something? Who are you trying to deceive?"
"Dad, Mom, don't be afraid.
This thing is fake at first glance. Nowadays, the technology of deceiving people is very sophisticated. You can change your face, imitate your voice, etc., and you can make it look exactly like the real one. It must be that the refrigerator at home is connected to the Internet and has been invaded by a virus or hijacked by some hacker. I guess they came up with this thing to defraud money.
Don't be afraid, if it doesn't work, we'll report it.
Scammers are so bold now! "
That's right, Li Fan felt that this was a scam the moment Qu Jie showed his grandfather's face. Although he didn't know what technology the other party used to achieve it, he didn't believe there was any ghost in this world. He must be a liar.
At the same time, Li Lan also sighed:
"Originally, when I read the news on the Internet, I thought the news was exaggerating some hoaxes, but I didn't expect it to be true. The scene was basically the same as the one my grandpa used to make videos with me. If I hadn't known that my grandpa was already dead, , I thought it was really grandpa.
With this technology, helping people make nostalgic videos and the like is no more peaceful than engaging in scams to get money! "
It has to be said that Qu Jie did not expect this development. She had guessed that she might have to spend some time explaining the situation, but she really didn't expect that before even a word of explanation, Li Fan directly concluded that she was a liar.
He even threatened to report the crime, which is too much.
In order to save money, Qu Jie had no choice but to give up video communication. Instead, she chose to transform her soul into the appearance of Li Zhu, and walked out of the refrigerator in an image that, although illusory, could be seen by their naked eyes. walk out. At this moment, even Li Fan was completely at a loss, because he knew very well that although holographic projection technology was already available, it would undoubtedly require the help of huge and expensive equipment to achieve it. If he wanted to install some software on the refrigerator display, he could accomplish.
Totally impossible.
If you have this technology, you have already made a fortune, so why bother to cheat money?
Therefore, the phantom grandpa in front of me may be real. If it is fake, there is no need to spend such a high price just to deceive his family.
Selling his house wouldn't be worth the price.
As Li Fan and Li Lan shut up, Qu Jie began to carefully explain what happened. Although she did not explain all the specific facts clearly, she also told them the general situation. For example, she is now It can be regarded as the tool spirit of the refrigerator, and the refrigerator has become a treasure that can connect to the parallel plane. The connecting node is the eight-year-old Li Zhu in the parallel plane.
In addition, the teleportation channel can only send things there, but cannot send things back. Now Li Zhuzheng in the parallel plane is living in the 1960s. It is difficult in all aspects, and his diet is not good. The leftovers at home are not suitable for that person. The little Li Zhu on the side is a good thing.
After such an explanation, Qu Jie returned to the refrigerator, while Li Jianguo and the others stayed there and thought for a while before reluctantly accepting such an outrageous fact, and looked at each other for a while to discuss.
"This thing sounds very unscientific."
"I heard my dad say that he suffered a lot when he was a child. Anyway, it must have been more difficult than what I suffered when I was a child. Although it was a parallel time and space, the same person and the flowers were just similar, I was a little confused when I heard it, but I think it’s okay to regard my father from the parallel time and space as my real father, so I’ll help if I can. Anyway, it’s just more leftovers or something.
I vaguely remember that several elders in my family are not in good health, especially their stomachs.
Two of them died of stomach cancer, perhaps because they often didn't have enough to eat at that time.
Even if it's a parallel plane, it's good to make up for it. "
"It doesn't matter if you didn't know before. Now that you know, there's no need to continue giving out leftovers. You can definitely cook more for each meal and then send it over while it's still hot. You can also send some rice and noodles directly."
"Others, the golden finger of grandpa always brings benefits to the protagonist. Why did our grandpa become a golden finger? It seems that not only does it not benefit, but he also has to pay a lot more. He can only send things over, but not here. If so, it will be impossible to do trade between the two worlds.”
"Brother, don't say it in front of grandpa."
"The refrigerator has turned into grandpa. I'm not used to it. So what, grandpa, I don't mean to dislike you. I just want to complain normally. By the way, grandpa, let me ask again, is it possible for you to evolve?
Generally, treasures should be able to evolve.
Especially a spiritual treasure like you.
Therefore, in the later stage, is it possible to evolve a space channel capable of two-way transactions? Even if there are restrictions on the number of times and sizes, it is better than being unable to trade. "
Obviously, Li Fan does not give up on the trade between the two worlds.
