brother of space

Zhang Jin sat in fear at the entrance of the stove where the firewood was burning, staring blankly at the raging fire in the stove, his face was already red from the toast.Above the stove hole, there was a sizzling sound in a large iron pot, and the billowing smoke came out of the pot with bursts of tangy meat aroma.

Thinking of what happened more than an hour ago, Zhang Jin shivered unconsciously. When he decided to erase the memories of those people, he did not hesitate at all.But now after calming down, there are bursts of panic in my heart.Even the aroma of the stewed old hen that came from his nose couldn't seduce his appetite.

The two firewood in the stove hole were burnt out quickly in the fire, and the red charcoal sticks with some black streaks were broken into several pieces of black wood ash.

The fire in the stove was gradually extinguished, and the warmth came into intimate contact with the body along with the cold air in the late autumn night.

Zhang Jin got up stiffly, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and served herself a bowl of chicken, but found that she had no appetite at all.Reluctantly drank some chicken soup, then poured the remaining half bowl of chicken back into the pot, turned around and walked towards the main room.

He didn't realize it before, but now standing in the main room, he realizes that the living room alone is huge in this house.

I don't want to go to school, and I dare not go.Thinking that all the eggs in the utility room hadn't been marinated yet, Zhang Jin went back to the kitchen and took out a dusty blue and white porcelain jar from the kitchen cupboard.

Returning to the main room again, he directly locked the door of the main room.Then he locked the door of the utility room, and then squatted in the utility room and slowly made the most common pickled eggs with wine and salt water.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the roar of police sirens suddenly sounded in my ears, Zhang Jin stood up, the hairs on her body suddenly stood up, her heart shrank suddenly, and she disappeared into the utility room without thinking too much.

Entering the space this time, Zhang Jin came to a room full of bookshelves and books, but he didn't observe much, but he just confirmed that this was the magical space, so he sat on the ground as soon as his legs gave up, and his mind was still There was a scene of the police breaking into the house, holding guns to arrest him.

Or when he goes to school tomorrow, the police will handcuff him and take him away in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and the students will laugh at him.

Or everyone in the village knows that he uses evil means to erase people's memories, and one by one accuses his parents of not teaching their children well.

Zhang Jin curled her body tightly together, buried her head in her knees, and whimpers gradually sounded in the room.

"Grandfather, mother..." The whispered voice was full of despair and helplessness. When a person is most vulnerable, the person who wants to hurt the most and is most afraid of hurting is always the person who is closest to him in his heart.

Although Zhang Jin still remembered that his grandfather once taught him that he must not be merciful to the enemy.He was indeed merciless when he did something to those people, but now, he is very scared, and nothing but fear is helpless in his heart!

The weeping voice gradually became louder, and finally turned into suppressed hysteria. It seemed that the owner of the voice wanted to vent out his long-standing grievances, helplessness, and fear.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Jin woke up from her sleep in a daze, and when she looked up, she found that she was in a room full of books.It turned out that he just fell asleep unconsciously.

After waking up, Zhang Jin no longer seemed to be as fearful and helpless as before!It's just that I still unconsciously think about things before falling asleep.

He didn't leave any trace at the scene, as long as his every move was not discovered, and the police couldn't find any evidence to prove that he did it, he had already confirmed this before leaving.

He can also be sure that those people are not in any danger of life before he leaves, unless someone goes after him to make up for each of them.

In such an alley where people live on both sides, there should be no one to make up for the knife, right?should……

After squatting quietly on the ground for a long time, Zhang Jin began to look around unconsciously.This is a room like a study, a bit like my grandfather's study.With a flash of an unknown picture in his mind, he knew that this was the study in the room in the space that he had never dared to enter.

There are a lot of books in this study room. After including all the five elements, eight trigrams and Qihuang medicine stone classics from ancient times to the present, it also brings together many classics of martial arts and Taoism that have been lost for 5000 years in China.

The densely packed books extend from the bottom of the bookshelves to the place close to the roof.Because each area is programmed, it will not be very messy.

Zhang Jin followed those famous tags, and saw the location of the classics of medicine and martial arts almost at a glance.Even due to the good light, he could clearly read the names of several martial arts classics.

In normal times, he would be very interested in martial arts classics, and maybe he would be happy to give some of them to his elder brother and younger brother.But at this moment, he couldn't lift his spirits up at all.After dawdling to get up from the ground, he stared blankly at the silent study for a while before disappearing into the room.

It's not that Zhang Jin never thought about hiding. As long as he doesn't come out in that space, he believes that no one in this world can find him, but thinking of his parents and grandpa, he still has to face it!

Perhaps in his heart, he still hoped that this matter would not be known in the end.

"Dong dong dong..." As soon as he appeared in the utility room, there was a knock on the door close to his ears, and Zhang Jin's heart shrank instinctively. At the same time, the temperature difference between the space and the real world made him Goosebumps all over his body suddenly came up, and when he wanted to dodge again like a frightened bird, a voice made him stop.

"Zhang Jin? Zhang Jin?"

It's Dongfang Yao!Zhang Jin was stunned.The constricted heart quietly fell back to its original place.

"Zhang Jin, are you inside?"

"Brother Yao?" Zhang Jin called out tentatively, but her voice was a little hoarse because of the previous crying.

The person outside the door seemed to be relieved, and then he heard the other party laughing: "It's late at night, what are you doing in the utility room? Could it be that you have a habit of sleepwalking?"

"No!" Zhang Jin said in a low voice, then stepped over the egg at his feet, and walked over, but before opening the door, he was silent for a while, and only after vaguely confirming that Dongfang Yao was alone outside, did he quickly Open the locked door.As soon as the door opened, Dongfang Yao's lazy face with a gentle smile appeared in front of him.

"Brother Yao..."

"Pfft, I don't have a habit of sleepwalking, does Mr. Zhang have a habit of letting you sleep in the utility room?" Dongfang Yao said, and after seeing the scene behind Zhang Jin, he asked differently, "What are you doing? "How did you get so many eggs?

"Pickled eggs."

"..." Three jars?When will this be finished?

"Hmm, cough, cough!" Zhang Jin finally realized that something was wrong with her voice, and coughed a few times quickly, "I, I thought of a medicinal diet and recuperation method, and I want to try it."

Dongfang Yao's eyes fell back on Zhang Jin's face. He had been a scout before, and he was sensitive to Zhang Jin's strangeness.

"I'm not in a hurry." In the end, Dongfang Yao chose to ignore it. He could see that the child was trying to cover up.Since the other party wants to cover up, then he can pretend not to know for the time being.

Even so, Zhang Jin never dared to meet people in the eye, for fear that the person opposite would notice something, even when talking, she kept her head down as much as possible.

This kind of action made Dongfang Yao, who just decided to ignore it, couldn't help frowning, this is not what he wanted!Even if it was pretending, he hoped that the other party would pretend to be more comfortable, instead of such an obviously frightened look.

"The shortest time is half a month. The longer the marinating time, the better the effect." Zhang Jin said, "I have made several kinds, and you can eat them differently when the time comes."

"Well, I thought I'd be able to eat it soon."

"..."

"I'm really not in a hurry!" Seeing Zhang Jin's appearance, Dongfang Yao felt helpless and distressed, "You can take your time. Now that the weather has cooled down, the temperature at night is especially low. Did you just stay in the sundries? fell asleep?"

"Well, I, I don't know..."

"Zhang Jin!" Dongfang Yao frowned suddenly and interrupted the other party, "Did you do what happened tonight?"

Zhang Jin: (⊙o⊙)!How would he know?

Zhang Jin's expression made Dongfang Yao confirm the guess in his heart. Although he had already guessed it, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the helpless and panicked appearance of the other party.

Unable to refuse, Dongfang Yao stepped forward and pulled the man into his arms, tightly imprisoning him with his own arms.

"A lie needs a lot of lies to fill it up, you don't have to!" Dongfang Yao just finished speaking, and felt the trembling of the person in his arms, stroked twice and immediately said, "I'm a burden on you. Don't worry. Well, it’s okay. The lives of those people are not in danger, and the doctor tentatively decided that they were the sequelae of drinking too much.”

"..."

Dongfang Yao patted the person in his arms lightly: "If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can tell me. In my opinion, your methods are still too light! You don't need to pay attention to any tricks to deal with a few scum. Even if you beat them into pigs' heads, the police will just go through the procedure and finish the job."

real or fake?The astonishment of Zhang Jin, who was tightly imprisoned by Dongfang Yao, was far from the policeman he thought!

However, thinking about the outfits of those people, they are not good people at first glance. Maybe the policeman also thinks that they have many enemies.

"I see that there is a big pot of chicken in the pot in the kitchen. Did you not eat tonight?" Seeing that Zhang Jin no longer had the frightened expression on his face, Dongfang Yao quickly changed the subject.

Zhang Jin struggled a few times, withdrew from Dongfang Yao's embrace, and said a little embarrassedly, "I have no appetite."

"Pfft! Because of such a trivial matter, you are so frightened. If you lose your appetite, I will eat it all in a while. In order to prevent you from worrying, I ran back when I heard the news."

For some reason, Zhang Jin felt her heart warm, and said in her mouth, "It should be cold, right?"

"When I first came in, it was still a little hot. It's okay, I can bear the cold."

"It's not good to eat cold, or I'll warm it up for you."

"Hehe, good! As long as you are not too late."

Night?Zhang Jin was puzzled, and looked down at the watch on her wrist. It was... [-]:[-]?

Eleven fifty at night?how come?He obviously should... Delayed for a long time, right?Even if it didn't take long for him to pickle the eggs, several hours would have passed after sleeping in the space, right?He still remembered that it was six or seven o'clock in the evening when those people stopped him, and it was after nine o'clock when he locked the door and came in to pickle eggs...

"What? Still thinking about that?" Dongfang Yao slapped Zhang Jin on the shoulder, interrupting his meditation.

Zhang Jin looked up at Dongfang Yao, thought for a while and said, "Then, those people..."

"Pfft, as expected, I'm still thinking. It's just a few dandy second-generation ancestors. Before I came, I got the news that they didn't have any wounds on their bodies. Before the accident, they had a record of drinking a lot of alcohol. The doctor's judgment was alcoholism." Dongfang Yao said, Looking at Zhang Jin with a serious expression, he said, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Jin stared blankly at the other party, and nodded if he understood for a long time.

"Okay, go get me some hot food, and we'll go to bed early after eating."

"Oh, oh! Then I'll go right away." Zhang Jin said and was about to go out.

Dongfang Yao looked at the eggs on the floor in the utility room and said, "Do you still need to pickle these eggs? I'll help."

"Ah!" Zhang Jin stopped walking, and looked at Dongfang Yao in disbelief.

"Pfft, don't you think I'm so incompetent? I grew up in the countryside when I was a child, and I've been in the army since then. Although I haven't done pickling, I've seen others do it."

"This is very simple." Since the other party was willing to do it, Zhang Jin was also happy and relaxed, and went directly to the utility room to do it twice in front of Dongfang Yao.

"It's so simple!" Dongfang Yao raised his eyebrows and said while imitating Zhang Jin's movements, "Is that right?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Jin smiled subconsciously seeing what the other party was doing.

Dongfang Yao cooked a few times in a row, and when he looked up and saw Zhang Jin was still standing aside, he asked, "Do you think I did it for nothing? Hurry up and get some hot food?"

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away." Zhang Jin agreed and walked out.Walking out of the door of the main room, I suddenly felt that I was too obedient. Although I would eat some of the pickled eggs in the end, most of them had to be given to the other party!

Dongfang Yao moved very quickly. By the time Zhang Jin finished heating the chicken in the pot, he had already marinated dozens of eggs on the floor of the utility room.Also moved the three jars to the wall and put them in order of size.

"The one in the last jar, if the marinade is not tasty, I will eat it myself." Dongfang Yao took the bowl full of mushrooms and chicken handed over by Zhang Jin, and put a piece of it in his mouth with chopsticks, smiling Said, "It won't be wasted, um, this chicken...! It's so delicious!"

There was no pressure in Zhang Jin's heart at the moment. Naturally, he was hungry when he smelled the aroma, so he also ate with a bowl, and when he heard what the person opposite said, he suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but tense his back.
