At night, the two of them were exhausted physically and mentally after experiencing the battles during the day. Li Huixi's physical strength was already exhausted. Fortunately, fireflies can enhance her senses. She can detect any abnormalities nearby. It can also allow two people to have a good sleep for a short time.
"Son, come and try the brown sugar glutinous rice cake made by mom."
"I can't eat anymore. I feel so strong."
"Really... I won't allow you to eat so many snacks before meals next time."
After the conversation between mother and son ended, a middle-aged man opened the door, holding a new toy in his hand, and looked at the boy in front of him lovingly.
After handing the gift to him, the man simply packed it up, took off his somewhat restrictive work clothes, and put on the home clothes given by his wife.
My wife just finished her work and took off her apron, revealing a navy blue loose robe. She likes ancient costumes very much, but in order to make it easier to do housework today, she deliberately chose this less complicated one.
The boy couldn't wait to take apart the toys and play various animated characters in the living room, having a great time.
"Zhizhi, the glutinous rice cake you made today was delicious."
"Stop praising me, you say that every day... I just followed the recipe, nothing special."
"But it tastes better than the ones sold outside. Of course I have to praise you for doing a good job."
"It's true... we are an old married couple, and they still do this kind of thing."
Although she said so, the woman's blushing face could not be deceived. She knew that she had no talent for cooking, but every time she cooked, her husband would come up with all kinds of new words to praise her, which became her own Reasons why I like cooking.
The husband deliberately picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, waved it in front of his son, and said in a pretentious manner:
"It's a pity that some people don't have such a good taste."
The child put down the toy in his hand, touched his bulging belly, and bit into the glutinous rice cake on his father's chopsticks, but the father just retracted his hand, and the child's upper and lower teeth collided together, and the bite was empty.
"Disobedient children don't have rice cakes to eat. Didn't mom tell you not to eat snacks before meals?"
"No matter what, I want to eat."
"You can eat it, just hand over the hidden snacks!"
The child shook his head, stood up and was about to grab the glutinous rice cake to eat, but his father also stood up, and the two chased each other for a long time. Finally, the father couldn't bear the disturbance and reluctantly stuffed the glutinous rice cake into his mouth.
"Dad is bad!"
The wife looked at this scene with indescribable warmth in her heart. If this was a dream, she hoped she would never wake up.
This life did not last long.
The news began to report the emergence of a kind of "clones" who would brutally kill their true masters when they encountered them.
It's very uneasy outside now, and the man is working for the last time today. Next, he will hide with his wife and children in his home for a while.
A familiar knock on the door sounded. The wife had just put down the kettle for watering the flowers in her hand and was about to open the door. However, her husband never knocked on the door a second time, not for more than ten years.
An ominous premonition filled the whole room. My wife was a little worried and planned to take a look at the cat's eye first.
He gently raised his eyes, and the face behind the cat eyes was indeed the person he was familiar with, but his expression was a bit stiff, and the distance between him and the cat eyes was a bit strange.
But no matter what, the person outside the door was her husband, and he could not be left alone in the dangerous outside world. The door handle was pressed down, the lock core was opened, and it was knocked on the hollow iron door frame. It was different from the past. This time The impact sound was particularly harsh.
As if someone was warning my wife, there was a burst of convection in the window in the corridor facing the door, and it barely opened a small crack. The wind forced the door back. The moment it closed, the wife saw the door The door god posted outside fell to the ground at some point.
The uneasy feeling in my heart became more and more intense, but I looked at the cat's eyes again and found that my husband's face in the eyes was real and could not be deceived.
The knocking on the door became more urgent.
The son in the room was also woken up and came over. The wife looked at the clock and hesitated for a while. Finally, the son stretched out his little hand and pushed the door open.
Although the wife had a premonition that something was about to happen, she never imagined that standing outside the door was a man covered in blood who looked exactly like her husband. But he could not be the husband. The temperament he displayed and his demeanor... He does not belong to the owner of this face at all.
The most chilling thing is that the face of the husband seen in the peephole is not that of the man standing in front of the door, but the human head in his hand.
The wife recognized at a glance that this head was her real husband.
Before she had time to think, her instinct drove her to protect her biological son behind her. It was too late to close the door. Behind the monster, several "clones" similar to him followed.
The memory after that has become blurry. This is a memory that the child does not want to remember. The only impression is the back of his mother wearing Tsing Yi and hiding around with him.
Later, he only remembered that a woman came over in his sleep and wanted to make a deal with him and his mother.
"I can reunite your family, but there are some requirements."
"No matter what the cost, I am willing to bear it..."
What happens next will never appear in Xingzhou's dreams again.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
Xingzhou woke up, he had had this dream for many years.
"Having a nightmare?"
Li Huixi was also awakened by Xingzhou's voice. Fortunately, his voice was not loud and there was no one else around.
Xingzhou nodded, but after waking up from this dream, he could not remember anything. He only knew that his sleep was not at ease.
"What did you dream about?"
"Can't remember."
"your mom?"
"Maybe."
"There's still enough time, go back to sleep."
Xingzhou shook his head. Every time after this dream, his thoughts would become very confused and it would be difficult to fall asleep again.
"Tell me about your world. For example, what does your school look like?"
"School is where many people learn knowledge together. Don't you understand the meaning of this word?"
"Can anyone do it? Although I know the concept of a school, I have never actually seen one."
"Well, anyone can."
"Wouldn't it be possible to have many friends?"
"right……"
"Do people have to live in schools all their lives? I want to stay in a place like this forever."
"That's not true. After you have learned knowledge, you have to go to work. But with your talent, becoming a linguist shouldn't be a problem."
"Are linguists... very good?"
“It’s not very impressive, but it’s already beyond the reach of many people.”
"Then what kind of job will you do in your own world?"
"Me? Never thought about it."
"Be a mother, you will be very popular."
Li Huixi curled her lips helplessly and asked disdainfully:
"In your tribe, do many people have the same mother?"
Xingzhou thought about it for a moment and said slowly:
"That's not true, it's just that I've had many mothers."
"What do you mean you had many mothers?"
"There are just a lot of people who have taken care of me, and every one of them asked me to call mom."
"Then which one do you always talk about?"
"The only thing I can't remember is this. It must be my first mother. I only remember that she loved me very much."
Although Li Huixi was surrounded by mist, she still heard something wrong from Xingzhou's words.
According to him, Xingzhou has never been accompanied by his biological mother, which means that he may not belong to this ethnic group, which can also explain why other people have increased their strength after being parasitized by fireflies, but he He gained a talent for ancient cultural analysis.
It can be thought that after being parasitized by fireflies, he also strengthened his combat skills. Why is only this person special? Could it be...?
"Something about him has been tampered with!"
