Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1369 Neighbors
After his mother went to work, Wu Lun could not say a word for a whole day.

She is both alone and not.She can't go out, can't go to work, and she doesn't want to contact her friends in her hometown, so she sits at home every day, holding the remote control and staring at the screen, switching channels one by one, but rarely stays on any channel.

Say lonely, not lonely.Looking out of the window, she could see the simple "sentry box" downstairs, where there were always two men staring at the building where she lived; from time to time, one of them would come up to knock on the door to confirm Is Wu Lun really at home?

Before leaving every day, my mother would lock the door—not to prevent Wu Lun from getting out, and she would not be able to get out without this lock—but to prevent people from outside from entering.She had to go to work, leaving her daughter alone with a few unidentified men who looked like unscrupulous idlers, no mother could rest assured.

My mother's protest against Wu Lun's house arrest was like a gust of wind blowing up a mountain, without even the slightest echo.She is a very gentle woman. She couldn't bear to complain about her already depressed daughter, so she quickly resigned to her fate and adjusted herself to a new normal to deal with a life she had no control over.

When sending his mother out that day, Wu Lun saw the uncle next door again.

The mother and daughter have lived in this building for more than ten years, and they have been facing Uncle Chang's family for more than ten years.

"Uncle Chang, are you going to work?" Wu Lun greeted him, and he said "hmm" expressionlessly, without resting his eyes on her.The whole neighborhood knew about her being under house arrest. Except for a few people who tried their best to care for her, everyone else seemed to suddenly not know her—even the Uncle Chang's family who looked up from the opposite door and looked down.

"Be careful yourself." Seeing that Uncle Chang went downstairs without looking back, her mother silently looked away and said to her, "By the way, I will come back from shopping at noon today, and we will have lunch together, so you don't have to." Just make do with it."

Wu Lun was startled, and suddenly remembered that today is her parents' wedding anniversary. "Understood," she handed her mother an umbrella from behind the door, and said, "The weather forecast seems to be raining, so take it just in case."

My mother is getting old, and on the hand that took the umbrella, the joints and skin were rough and thick, piled up together.As early as a few years ago, dyeing the roots of white hair black became a maintenance work that had to be done frequently like trimming nails; recently, amidst her fatigue, she has added a little bit of vague fear, as if she was always afraid of being bullied .

Wu Lun closed the wooden door, listened to his mother lock the anti-theft door, slowly slid to the floor, and sat against the door for a while.She felt as if she had become a child again, facing a suddenly strange world and didn't know what to do; when she ran back to her mother, seeking comfort and shelter, she looked up and found that her mother was old .

People are alive, and only when they encounter something, do they know that they are not snails, but slugs without shells.

She walked back to the sofa, feeling that the room was terribly quiet, and involuntarily reached for the remote control again.The content of each channel is similar, not to mention the news, even entertainment programs and TV dramas, they all seem to come off the same factory line; the same theme, the same way of speaking, the same plot, except for the names of the characters. In addition, even if the screen of this play is matched with the lines of that play, it will not violate harmony at all.

Wu Lun silently flipped through more than 24 channels several times, and finally turned off the TV.Others have only 11 hours in a day, but hers is as long as a year.She walked up and down the house, swept the floor, watered the flowers, stared at a page of a book for half an hour in a daze, and finally it was 30:[-]—she heard the sound of Uncle Chang coming home at noon across the door Well, after a while, mom should be back.

With this thought, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Lun pursed his lips tightly, and when he walked to the door, there was a man's voice shouting outside, "Hello, are you home? Wu Lun, open the door!"

She would be checked several times a day, and every time she was called to open the door, she would still feel angry invisibly.What kind of person are you, why do you ask me to open the door? I have to open the door... But no matter how many times I think about it, it is impossible to say it; she will always open the wooden door inside and open the door to the outside through the security door The person replied: "I'm at home, I didn't go out."

The man looked at her from behind the bars. "Oh, are you at home?"

"You guys are watching from downstairs, don't you know if I'm at home?" Wu Lun couldn't hold back for a while, and asked back.

"That also needs to be checked. I am responsible for social security." The man was not angry, he smiled, and left after seeing her like he did in the past, and continued: "We have no water to drink below. If there is water, pour us two jugs."

"My mother locked the door." Even if there was water, Wu Lun didn't want to give it to him, so he just said with a straight face, "I can't get the water out."

The man lowered his head, took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket, and inserted one of them into the keyhole.

Wu Lun's scalp exploded.

The security door was opened.

The man opened the door and stood face to face with her, still smiling and said, "Go get some water."

Wu Lun was locked in place - she couldn't figure out why this man had a key.They are all local idlers who have been recruited to make some money by doing the hard work of watching people; how can they have power that she can't resist when they meet her, even the keys to her house? Can you get it?

As she walked slowly towards the kitchen, she kept staring at the man from the corner of her eye.Almost as soon as she entered the kitchen, before she touched the kettle, the man walked in by himself, stepped on the floor she had just cleaned, looked around and said, "You can't handle it alone, right?" ,I'll help you."

"No need," Wu Lun gripped the kettle tightly, "The water is here, you go out first."

"Why, you don't welcome me?" He was still smiling, as if his face was loose, and he decided to pile up a smile on his face; I don't know which sentence, this pile of laughter will suddenly collapse .

"No," Wu Lun just wanted to send him away quickly, handed him the kettle, and carefully and quickly withdrew his hand, not letting his fingertips touch his skin, "here, just a kettle, There is no need to return the pot."

The man held the kettle, looked down at it, and didn't move his feet.When Wu Lun urged him again, he finally turned around slowly—just as the two were about to pass by, Wu Lun felt a palm pressing on her thigh.

She couldn't control her screaming at all.

"What are you doing?" The man was taken aback, took two steps towards the door in a bit of embarrassment, and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? I accidentally touched you, what's your name?"

"How could you do this?" A force came from nowhere, which made her lose her mind, rushed up and grabbed his clothes by the back, and shouted angrily, "I want to call the police, don't leave! "

"Fuck you," the man lifted her arm as soon as he turned around, almost pushing her back. "Report, express, let me tell you, I will live here today, and it is only right and proper for me to monitor you!"

Wu Lun, who suddenly realized the reality, shivered violently. "My mother is coming back, don't think I'm alone—"

"Your mother never comes back at noon," the man suddenly laughed, "Are you lying to a ghost?"

Over his shoulder, the door of the neighbor's door was shut tightly.Wu Lun looked out for a while, only to feel that the five internal organs in his body were as uncomfortable as being poured with a layer of hot oil, so he shouted again: "Get out!"

"Let me not go for a while, let me go out for a while," the man held the handle of the kettle without moving, "You think I'm your dog..."

"get out!"

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded from the stairs—Wu Lun was too familiar with the sound of those half-heeled shoes.

Her mother rushed to the door, and she looked like two people as usual, her face was flushed and her eyes were tearing apart.The moment she saw the situation in the house clearly, she had already grabbed the man's clothes on the back, dragged him out of the door and into the corridor, screaming: "What are you doing in my house? Are you going to kill my daughter?" What are you doing?"

The man picked up the kettle and hit it back, and the kettle landed on her mother's forehead.The water splashed out and drenched my mother.

Wu Lun couldn't even scream, and jumped straight out; her mother suffered the blow, and blood dripped from her forehead - the man seemed to be furious, and kept waving the kettle, covering his head and face Hit her.

When she rushed up to block her mother, she simply felt that it didn't matter if she died now.She was hit by water bottles countless times in a row, and she was hit on the head and shoulders. In front of her eyes, there was only blackness and gold stars; her mother's roar, "How did you hit someone?" When I fell, something suddenly opened in front of my eyes, and the thud of the kettle that fell like raindrops disappeared.

She raised her head and found that in front of her was the black umbrella at home.The umbrella ribs supported the umbrella cloth, and they were beaten by the man together.

Mother held the umbrella tightly, turned around and said, "Hurry up and go in—"

In the next few seconds, Wu Lun still couldn't remember exactly what happened.It may be that her mother also wanted to enter the door, so she stood up; it may be that she held the umbrella tightly so that she would not be blown away, so she waved the handle of the umbrella—in short, when the muffled sound of the body hitting the cement suddenly sounded, Wu Lun was shocked. Realized, the man had tumbled down the stairs.

The door of the neighbor's house was only opened at this time. Uncle Chang looked out, and his eyes fell on the man who fell.Wu Lun also saw it: the man's aura just now was gone, and he fell down at the corner of the stairs like a soft-legged shrimp, seemingly unable to get up again.

"Oops, oops," my mother said almost unconsciously, her voice trembling, "in case something happens to him..."

"Let her go quickly," Uncle Chang suddenly lowered his voice, reminding the mother and daughter who were still in shock. "She can't stay, or she has to go in."

Wu Lun stared blankly at him, then at his mother.Half of mother's face was covered with blood, and she held her hand tightly, as if she never wanted to let go in her whole life; but she murmured, "Yes, you must go...you must go..."

"Go and call another person up," Chang Chang told his mother, and pushed Wu Lun to signal her to go back to the house. "You, pack up your money and things, and wait for me on the balcony."

The door slammed shut behind him, and Wu Lun stood in the room in a daze, almost suspecting that he was having a dream.She still wanted to take another look at her mother, but when she opened the door again, her mother was no longer there, and she must have gone down to call someone——she walked to the balcony like sleepwalking, and found that Uncle Chang was waiting for her on the balcony of her own house. The distance between the two balconies is only two or three meters.

"Take this." He bent down, picked up a pile of something, and threw it over to her balcony: "This is the ladder I left behind when I was working on the construction site. You take it away!"

Wu Lun's lips trembled a few times, but no sound came out.

"I will testify to your mother that he fell by himself and has nothing to do with her... But you," Uncle Chang lowered his eyes, "I don't know what you got into. It looks like a big deal. If you don't Let's go, it won't be house arrest anymore. Let's not talk about it, when the man below comes up, you should leave quickly!"

Wu Lun's vision was all blurred.She mechanically took some spare money from the family, and took a photo of the mother and daughter, and couldn't think of what to take anymore; vaguely, she could still hear the shouting in the corridor , It seems that my mother's voice is also mixed in.She really wanted to go out for another look, say goodbye to her mother, and ask Uncle Chang to take good care of her... But she also knew that she had to go.

With trembling hands and feet, she climbed down the ladder.The vast world, where can she go?

... Lin Sanjiu, is he still in the same place now?

　I counted, the remaining chapters in this world may only be 10 or so chapters at most, and only two people with names and surnames died, which is the most gentle world.
