"You child! You haven't answered your calls for so long! What are you doing? Ah? Have you been outside for a long time and don't want your aunt anymore?"
A series of familiar voices came from the other end of the phone, and the tone was full of anxiety.
The corners of Lin Qiye's mouth rose slightly. He dragged his blood-soaked knife and staggered past the corpses. Every step he landed on the snow was a scarlet footprint.
"Auntie, I was chatting with my comrades just now, and I didn't see the phone." He said softly.
"You child...can't you take the initiative to call home when you are older than the Chinese New Year?"
"I was going to call at night..."
"Originally, originally...huh." The aunt paused, her voice gradually softening, "How is your stay in the army? Are you okay?"
Lin Qiye wiped the blood off his face, walked to the corner of a corridor, and looked at the small building from the window. From here, he could clearly see his aunt on the phone on the balcony.
His hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, and after a while, he said softly:
"Okay, I'm all fine."
"New Year's Eve is coming soon, do you have New Year's Eve dinner in your army?"
"Yes, our captain is already preparing it, and I can eat it when I go back."
"Go back? Are you outside?"
"...No, I mean, we can eat it when we go back to the cafeteria."
"Oh..." Aunt's voice paused for a moment, and continued: "Then, then you should eat more..."
Lin Qiye seemed to sense that her aunt's mood was not right, so she took the initiative to say:
"Auntie, I'm not at home this year, so your New Year's Eve dinner should be bigger."
"It's for sure, don't worry, I'm stewing fish in this pot, it's delicious, and there will be pork in a while, it's just...you're not at home, we may not be able to finish it."
"Ah Jin is getting fit, you have to let him eat more."
"Well, by the way, do you want to talk to your brother?"
"OK."
On the balcony, my aunt quietly wiped her tears, turned around and walked into the room, handing the phone to Yang Jin.
"Hey bro."
"Ah Jin, when I'm not at home, you're not clumsy, are you?"
"Of course not, bro, why do you ask that?"
"...No, I just mentioned it casually."
"Brother, how is your life there?"
"It's fine, don't worry."
"If you are too tired, it doesn't matter if you come back. When the sky falls, there will always be a tall person to support it."
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, then hummed.
The two brothers just held their mobile phones like this. After a long time, neither of them spoke...
"Hey, you kid, you've been away from your brother for a long time, and you still have a relationship?" Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the aunt simply took the phone over,
"Xiaoqi, I won't tell you anymore, the fish in my pot is ready, I'm going to bring it out first."
"Okay, Auntie."
"Um……"
"aunt."
"Um?"
Lin Qiye stood at the corner of the corridor, watching the busy figure, and after a long time, smiled and said:
"Happy New Year."
"Well, happy new year."
Chapter 132 Happy New Year
The snow is getting smaller and smaller.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
On the roof of a building next to the low house, Lin Qiye sat there quietly, with two black boxes beside him, like a stone sculpture, which had not moved for a long time.
The city, like the sea level, extends to the end of the field of vision, getting farther and farther away, and getting darker. At the junction of the ground and the sky, a slant of the setting sun illuminates the uneven building shadows with a golden edge.
The twilight light shone on Lin Qiye head-on, stretching his back very long...
Those deep eyes contained a touch of sunshine, watching the busy family in the distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the breeze brushed the boy's black hair, and the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of food.
I don't know how long it took, a man walked slowly to his side with his back on his back, looked at the family from a distance, and after a long time, slowly said:
"Do you regret it?"
Under the setting sun, Lin Qiye shook his head slightly, "I don't regret it."
"In a short time, you won't be able to go back. The more frequently you come back, the more people will notice." Leng Xuan sat down beside him and said.
"I know."
"Actually, even if you don't come today, nothing will happen to them."
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at Leng Xuan suspiciously.
"Do you think that the captain's so-called protection of your family is just talking?" The corner of Leng Xuan's mouth was slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand, pointing to the low house in the distance,
"That day, when the team leader brought the deputy team to your house to deliver materials, he posted a forbidden object named [Weiyang] at the door of your house. This forbidden object is like a transparent note that can open a small Forbidden ruins.
Once someone with malicious intentions tries to break through the protection range of [Wei Young], it will activate and send all the marked creatures in the house to another marked point, which is the underground of the Peace Office, to protect their safety. "
Lin Qiye was taken aback, he had never heard Chen Muye mention the existence of [Wei Young], let alone when his aunt and Yang Jin were already under the protection of forbidden things.
"[Wei Young]..." Lin Qiye muttered to himself.
"Same as [No Ring Space], it is one of the few man-made forbidden ruins of the night watchman, but the price of this thing is not cheap, even in the night watchman, there are not many people who can use this thing." Speaking of this Leng Xuan seemed to have remembered something, his voice gradually softened,
"However, in our team 136, basically everyone's family members have this thing to protect them."
Lin Qiye asked blankly: "Why?"
Leng Xuan gave him a meaningful look, "What do you think...why is the captain so poor?"
Lin Qiye's body shook slightly, and soon he thought of something, and stared into the distance in a daze.
Leng Xuan patted him on the shoulder, carried the gun case on his back, turned and walked downstairs, his voice came to Lin Qiye's ear with the breeze.
"Let's go, you won't be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at this family, but another family...will always welcome you."
Lin Qiye took a deep look at the direction of the house. There, his aunt was holding a plate of fresh hot dishes on a small wooden table. Yang Jin was sitting beside him with a smile on his face.
After a while, he smiled helplessly, stood up and walked towards the corridor.
At this moment, a black and small mangy dog appeared in front of him, ran over quickly, and rubbed its head against Lin Qiye's ankle.
"Little black leprosy?" Lin Qiye lowered his body in surprise, and gently rubbed its head with his hands.
Xiao Heilai licked Lin Qiye's hand and hiccupped.
"What did you eat? You're hiccupping..." Lin Qiye laughed.
He picked up Xiao Heilai, carried it to the downstairs of the short building, put it on the stairs, and said softly:
"I'm leaving, you have to go home quickly, tonight, you have a good fortune..."
He rubbed Xiao Heilei's stomach, stood up and picked up the two black boxes, finally looked up at the closed door, turned and walked towards the dim sky.
He stepped on the white snow, leaving a straight footprint that stretched into the distance...
……
Ding-dong-!
welcome!
As soon as Lin Qiye opened the door of the office, a strong aroma of vegetables rushed to his face. The full contact between the oil and the ingredients made a soft sizzling sound, and with the shaking of the pot body, there was a rhythmic crackling sound.
The most reassuring voice in the world is none other than this.
Hongying sat at the dining table, staring straight at the stewed old goose on the table, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and quietly touched the goose's legs with restless hands...
Snapped!
Wu Xiangnan's chopsticks quickly grabbed Hongying's hand, "We will eat when everyone is ready."
"I... I'll just take one bite, just one bite!" Hongying cautiously stretched out a finger.
"no."
Hongying lowered her head aggrieved, and put the chopsticks in her hand on the table, lying limply on the table like a salted fish whose dreams had been sucked out.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Qiye walking into the room, and her eyes lit up again.
"Qiye, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Lin Qiye shook his head, "Did you catch the archer?"
Hongying pursed her lips, and shook her head with a bitter face, "No, that guy ran too fast, and I didn't dare to use the Forbidden Ruins to chase him in the city in broad daylight, so I let him run away..."
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, "It's okay, he shouldn't be malicious, it's just his identity..."
Lin Qiye has always been concerned about the identity of that mysterious person. There are not many people who can know the location of his home, and they also know that it was ambushed by the Mad Scorpion team. Since it is not a night watchman, who has such great energy?
"Is the captain still cooking?" Wen Qimo came up from the basement, touched his shriveled stomach, and asked.
"I've been busy for almost two hours. This is still under the circumstances that Xiao Nan is helping me. I really don't know how many dishes he plans to cook. I'm going to starve to death~"
Hongying said with a mournful face.
After a few more minutes, the kitchen finally quieted down. Chen Muye came out holding a large bowl of fish soup, followed by Si Xiaonan, who was full of bowls and chopsticks.
Finally, everyone was seated.
