Lu Yan inserted the key into the door lock and turned it gently.
After a soft "creak" sound, the door opened.
Through the moonlight, I could see the dust floating in the air, and there was no special smell in the room.
Lu Yan reached out and tentatively pressed the light switch. After a crisp sound, the room was illuminated by a pale light.
A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Yan's eyes, there was electricity!
The room that comes into view has almost no trace of the original residents, replaced by the clean and tidy style unique to the military.
Everything in the room was neatly arranged, even though no one had opened the door for a long time, it was already covered with a thin layer of dust.
This small building only has two floors. The lower floor is the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. The second floor should be the bedrooms.
Lu Yan came to the coffee table. There were several yellowed and dusty papers on the coffee table. Lu Yan picked up one of them.
It says in straight handwriting:
"To mother: I'm going on a mission. This mission is nothing special. Just like before, there is almost no danger."
"It's just that I may need to stay outside for a while. After all, I have to do what I have to do well. This is what you have taught me since I was a child."
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few weeks. I seem to have forgotten the taste of the egg fried rice you made."
"Please be sure to take care of yourself and wait for your son's triumphant return."
There are three pieces of paper in total, and the remaining two are letters home written in different notes.
Lu Yan knew at a glance that this was a "suicide note" written by a soldier who had relatives at the base. Once he died, his comrade who returned safely would give this letter to his family.
But none of them expected that this time even the person who sent the message was gone.
Lu Yan felt a little empty in his heart, so he gently brushed the dust off, and then carefully folded the letter in half.
He stood up, looked around the room, and suddenly opened the drawer under the coffee table. As expected, he saw several envelopes.
Lu Yan stuffed the letters into the envelope one by one, then imitated the handwriting on the letters and wrote the recipient's name on the envelope.
To be honest, the letter paper is already yellowing. Even if such a letter is delivered to the recipient, the recipient may not believe that the person who wrote the letter is safe.
The reason why I wrote them and laid them out on the coffee table instead of stuffing them into envelopes for storage was probably because no one wanted to send these letters.
Everyone in the room became quiet when they saw this scene. Even Mu Tang noticed that Lu Yan was not in a very relaxed mood, so she stood aside and watched him seal the envelope.
Lu Yan took a deep breath, put the wrapped letter in the drawer, and closed the drawer door.
When Qi Yang comes over tomorrow, he will give him these letters and ask him to deliver them to the recipients.
Turning around, he found the little girl standing next to him obediently, looking at him with some anxiety and inquiring eyes. Only then did he realize that his emotions had affected Mu Tang.
Lu Yan suppressed the depression in his heart, curled his lips, took the initiative to take Mu Tang's hand, and led her to the second floor:
"Let's go and see what it's like upstairs."
There are two rooms upstairs, one is larger and the other is smaller.
All the furniture except the cabinets had been removed, and six simple folding beds were compactly placed in the room.
Six neat "tofu cubes" were placed on the bed.
It seems that six people once lived in this small room.
Logically speaking, the room allocation should be that Mu Tang and Lin Wanwan live in one room, and then Lu Yan and Ren Yu live in one room.
But judging from Lu Yan's appearance, it seemed that she did not intend to separate from Mu Tang, so Lin Wanwan had no choice but to live with Ren Yu.
A dark red appeared on Ren Yu's face, with a hint of shyness and a little joy in his eyes. He scratched the back of his head and approached Lin Wanwan:
"Wan... Wanwan, I can sleep on the sofa downstairs."
That's what he said, but Lin Wanwan clearly saw something called "expectation" in this person's eyes. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and secretly complained:
Prude.
Seeing Lin Wanwan looking at him quietly without answering, the expectation in Ren Yu's eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by disappointment.
He looked like a wet golden retriever, waving his big wet tail, silently moving the quilt on the bed, preparing to sleep in the living room.
Even when moving the quilt, he secretly glanced at Lin Wanwan's face with his sight that he thought was hidden.
Lin Wanwan felt funny when she looked at him, and was prepared to admire it for a while longer.
When Ren Yu was about to go downstairs carrying the quilt, she stopped him:
"Okay, stay here, it's not comfortable to sleep on the sofa."
Ren Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly put the quilt back on the bed, fearing that Lin Wanwan would regret it.
Lin Wanwan laughed. She was not so rigid and did not stick to the rules before the end of the world.
The time to accompany each other in the last days is stolen from the hand of death. If you have time, you should try your best to stay with worthy people.
Since she agreed to Ren Yu, she will cherish the time she spends with him.
There was no awkwardness at all between Lu Yan and Mu Tang. After all, they either slept in the same room or in the same car, and had never been separated at all.
Mu Tang took it for granted that Lu Yan should be with her. If Lu Yan said he wanted to live separately, she would probably not be happy at first.
The room was covered with dust. Lin Wanwan used her powers to condense water and put it in a basin. The four of them began to simply clean the room.
There were only a few beddings and they were covered with dust. It was definitely unrealistic to wash them. I could only pat the back of them hard and try my best to get the dust off.
Lu Yan carried two quilts into the yard and asked Niba to hold a corner of the quilt with his mouth for easy patting.
Dust swirled in the air with the force of the beating. Mu Tang wanted to step forward to help, but Lu Yan didn't want her to get disgraced, so he stuffed a bag of crystals into her hand and asked her to stand aside and wait obediently.
Of course, Ren Yu was reluctant to let Lin Wanwan do this, so he quickly moved two stools for the two ladies to sit down, and then dusted them off with Lu Yan.
Lin Wanwan felt relaxed and took Mu Tang to watch the two men working.
Lu Yan dusted off the dust and went back to make the bed again.
Housekeeping is a compulsory course for recruits. Lu Yan moved neatly and neatly. He made the bed neatly in less than two minutes and even folded the quilt into tofu pieces.
Ren Yu was embarrassed. His father was very pampered by him. Before the end of the world, he was a young man. In layman's terms, he "doesn't distinguish between grains and limbs."
Although it's not such a waste that I can't even make a bed, it's not a good job at all.
The sheets lay crumpled on the bed like pickles fished out of a pickle jar.
Ren Yu felt a little anxious, and his hand movements became even more panicked.
First, he was anxious to show off in front of Lin Wanwan;
Secondly, he knew that housekeeping was a compulsory course for new recruits. He had already decided to join the army, and even wanted Lu Yan to take him. In his heart, Lu Yan was already his "boss". He couldn't fold the quilt well in front of his "boss", which was so embarrassing.
Lin Wanwan watched him pull up the sheets and then pull up the quilt corners. He was doing things completely haphazardly. She couldn't help but sigh and went over to help.
Lu Yan ignored the two young men and fetched water for Mu Tang to wash her face and hands.
The little girl wiped her face with a towel, then suddenly stopped, put the towel into Lu Yan's hand, closed her eyes and raised her face, the meaning was self-evident.
Lu Yan felt her closeness, and the corners of his mouth never turned down. Just like he had done countless times before, he wiped Mu Tang's face carefully with a towel.
His expression was focused, his eyes not missing any detail on the little girl's face, and the soft towel gently scratched the delicate skin.
After Mu Tang cleaned up, Lu Yan was going to pour out the water and wash himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the water was poured, Mu Tang was already waiting beside him with a towel.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and naturally knew what Mu Tang wanted to do. He coughed dryly and said unnaturally:
"I'll do it myself. You go and have a rest."
Mu Tang shook his head and looked at him stubbornly while holding the towel.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Yan was defeated first and resigned himself to his fate and sat on the chair.
Mu Tang instantly beamed with joy, holding a wet towel and smiling "hehe", like a bully, approaching the "innocent victim" sitting on the chair step by step.
On the one hand, Lu Yan was happy to be intimate with his girlfriend, but on the other hand, he was very uncomfortable.
Due to family reasons, he has been very independent since he was a child. It seems that no one has ever wiped his face in his memory. Now that someone wants to wipe his face, it is actually quite embarrassing.
Mu Tang imitated Lu Yan's example and wiped all of Lu Yan's face in a decent manner, even his neck. If Lu Yan hadn't stopped him in time, she could have unbuttoned Lu Yan's clothes and removed the areas under his clothes. Wipe it again.
Lu Yan really didn't expect that a primary school student's "family mission" would reach this point in the end, which really made him blush.
Mu Tang didn't think too much and threw the towel into the basin. He bent down and held Lu Yan's face and kissed her thin lips hard. At the end, she smacked her lips and said in a decent manner:
"Goodnight kiss."
Then he jumped away carrying the basin.
Lu Yan stood in the yard for a while before he managed to calm down his restless mood. He straightened his clothes and went back to the room.
