parasitic son

Cui Mingzhi opened his eyes.

Today is another day.

A plain new day.

Cui Mingzhi pressed the alarm clock, and the time showed 6:50.He slowly got out of bed.

Brush your teeth, wash your face.

Put the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, take out the toast and spread the jam.

Cui Mingzhi took a bite of the toast, it would be even better if there were fried eggs in it.But today there are no adults at home, and no one will fry eggs for him.

His stepmother is very kind, at least she does what she should do in face.She cooks four poached eggs every morning.Everyone has a share.

Now Cui Mingzhi really wants to eat poached eggs.

But there were no adults in the house, and no one was there except him.

Maybe that's something to be happy about.

Cui Mingzhi finished biting the toast, drank the milk, and put the cup into the sink.He glanced at the time, it was 7:15, and he was about to leave for school.

He walked to the door and turned back to the living room, where there was a cardboard box on the living room table.He lifted the lid of the box, and there were three baby silkworms lying in the box. They had eaten up all the mulberry leaves, and they were looking up in a daze.

Cui Mingzhi sighed.He went back to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, and there were only two mulberry leaves left in the plastic bag.He picked up the mulberry leaves and threw them into the paper box, and the silkworm babies immediately climbed up greedily and began to eat them rustlingly.

This mulberry leaf is only enough for half a day.

How long can a silkworm be hungry?He thought, there are no mulberry trees around here.

He glanced at the clock. At 7:20, he had to leave for school.

************

During the break, his classmates gathered around him to discuss the game passionately. He didn't have the heart to participate in the discussion, but just echoed.

"Cui Mingzhi, is there something on your mind?" A classmate asked him.As soon as he said this, he was stopped by other students.Someone whispered that because Cui Zhizhi's family went on a trip, he was left alone.

"That's too much." The classmate was filled with righteous indignation, and the rest of the students were also indignant.Cui Mingzhi ignored them and just let himself go in a daze.

When the third class was over, he asked his classmates, "Are there any mulberry leaves in our school?"

"Mulberry trees? We don't have any in our school."

Cui Mingzhi scratched his head and sighed again.Where can I get mulberry leaves?

"Why do you want mulberry leaves?"

"My brother's silkworm baby, none of them are here, so I have to help raise it."

The classmates looked at him with the eyes of Cinderella, "Cui Mingzhi, you are too miserable."

"Go, go, find a way for me."

Finally, his classmate Bai Lianlian told him that silkworms can be fed with lettuce leaves. "If you don't have mulberry leaves, you can top them with lettuce leaves."

OK, then the lettuce leaves.

At least it's easier than mulberry leaves.

After school, he went to the vegetable market and bought a pack of lettuce.When I got home, I opened the carton, and sure enough the mulberry leaves were all gone. The three baby silkworms looked up at the sky miserably, as if they were about to go to heaven with hunger.

He tore off the lettuce leaves, wiped off the water and put them in the carton, laying out the leaves one by one.The three baby silkworms lowered their heads to touch the leaves, but they didn't eat them. After a while, the three heads raised again, as if protesting that Cui Mingzhi had given them counterfeit ingredients.

"There are no mulberry leaves, only lettuce." Cui Mingzhi said to the three silkworm babies, "Three ancestors, you have to eat if you don't." He closed the box and went back to his room.

The next morning, Cui Mingzhi opened the carton.The three baby silkworms stubbornly looked up at the sky, with a posture of swearing to die, but the lettuce leaves did not move.

During school breaks, Cui Mingzhi opened the webpage on his mobile phone and began to search for "how long will silkworm babies starve to death".

After searching, he found that there are quite a few people raising silkworms who worry about not having mulberry leaves. "Where is the mulberry leaf please! My baby silkworm is starving to death!" "Save my silkworm baby!"

He scrolled through the webpage and quickly found the answer. Some silkworm babies can starve to death in two to three days, and some can last five days.The conclusion is affirmative, if you don't want silkworm babies to starve to death, you must get mulberry leaves.

But where the hell should he get mulberry leaves? ?

If this picky eater hadn't had commercial value, it would have been extinct long ago!Extinct!

************

In the afternoon physical education class, due to the venue, Class 1 and Class 2 are held together.

During the free time for warm-up activities, Yan Zhen came to him.He asked him: "Cui Mingzhi, did you see anything strange when you left my house last time?"

"what?"

Yan Zhen frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to describe it, then he said, "Jelly."

"what?"

"Yes, jelly, something like jelly." Yan Zhen gestured, "It's about this big."

"...I don't remember you giving me jelly."

"Oh." Yan Zhen responded, and he muttered "You can't eat that too" and left.

Speaking of which, his friend has also become a bit strange recently.But right now Cui Zhizhi is not in the mood to care about his friend.He was still thinking about the mulberry leaves.

"Mulberry leaves?" Yan Zhen turned his head and said, "You can buy it online if you can't."

Cui Mingzhi clapped his hands, why didn't he think of it.Today's shopping sites are all-encompassing.

But how did Yan Zhen know that he needed mulberry leaves.Cui Mingzhi blinked, probably his classmates told him about it.

Sure enough, a reliable brother.

Cui Mingzhi quickly placed an order on Taobao.He picked a store with a lot of good reviews and bought two big bags, at least for the next few weeks there will be food for Silkworm Baby.

He went home at night.Opening the carton, the three baby silkworms held their heads up rather than surrender, and the lettuce leaves did not move a bite, vowing to fight to the end.

"Three ancestors, you should take a bite."

The three silkworm babies hold their heads up and stick to their integrity.

Cui Mingzhi closed the paper cover, and went to the Internet to check again "How long will silkworm babies starve to death?" The mainstream answer on the Internet is still that they can starve to death in the shortest three days.

Now these three have been hungry for two days.

Tomorrow, as long as tomorrow, the mulberry leaves will arrive.

The delivery logistics on the mobile phone shows that it has been collected.Cui Mingzhi let out a long sigh, and he hoped that everything will go well tomorrow.

But God seems to be against him.

During the class break on the third day, Cui Mingzhi stared at the logistics information dumbfounded. The mulberry leaves he ordered were returned.He had to call the courier impatiently, and the other party replied that the courier list was wrongly pasted, and now all the shipments have to be returned and resent.This means his mulberry leaves will arrive on the fourth day.

"This won't work!!!" Cui Mingzhi shouted, "My silkworm has been hungry for almost three days!!"

"It doesn't matter if you're hungry for another day."

"It doesn't matter what!"

"I'll pay you if you starve to death. It's just three silkworms. How much money can you have?"

Cui Mingzhi was so angry that he wanted to swear at that moment, and the courier hung up the phone.He turned around in a hurry, and the silkworm babies couldn't go hungry anymore.He must get mulberry leaves.

After asking many students in the class, Cui Mingzhi finally got a piece of information.His classmate told him that there was a mulberry tree on the open-air terrace of Room 36, Building 102, in the community next door.

"Be careful what you pick, this family is very fierce. Someone once secretly picked mulberry leaves from his family, and was chased and scolded by that family."

Now even if that family is a scourge, Cui Mingzhi has to go now.The result is naturally the same as what his classmates said, this family is indeed very scary.

An old lady and an old man were chasing and beating him with a cane while continuing to output mental attacks.He obviously looks like he is 70 or [-] years old, why can he run so fast?

Because of being chased so quickly, he stumbled, but at last he was a young man and managed to escape from the community flexibly.His knees were scratched, but he harvested a small bag of mulberry leaves, which at least can last the three silkworms until tomorrow.

When he got home, he opened the carton, and the three ancestors still held their heads up like a martyr.He wiped the mulberry leaves and put them in the box.As soon as the three baby silkworms smelled the smell of mulberry leaves, they immediately started gnawing on them.

They look delicious.

Maybe they almost starved to death.

As he watched them, uncontrollable sadness welled up in his heart, and the silkworm baby became a little blurry.He wiped his eyes, but the tears dripped down drop by drop.

"Dad..." He murmured, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed silently.

The doorbell rang harshly.

Cui Mingzhi opened the door, and Yan Zhenzhen stood at the door.

He said: "I think I should visit your house, you have seen that fruit..." Yan Zhen stared at him in surprise, "Are you crying?"

Cui Mingzhi turned his face away, but the tears still couldn't stop falling.

"what happened?"

Cui Mingzhi closed his eyes, trying to stop the tears, he took a breath and said, "Yan Zhen, I want to tell you something."

"what?"

"Maybe it sounds ridiculous to you."

"Say."

"Actually, my father, my stepmother, and Zhang Yiyang have been missing for four days."

Yan Zhen didn't look very surprised, he just stared at him with his black eyes, "And then? Tell me in detail."

"Four days ago, even though the three of them were at home, I heard the three of them talking outside." Cui Mingzhi wiped his eyes, "Then I heard a bang, and there was no sound outside."

"..."

"I opened the door and all three of them were gone. But the money, clothes, and documents were all at home. They just disappeared out of thin air!"

"I see. After the three of them disappeared, is there a puddle of water on the floor?"

Cui Mingzhi looked at him unexpectedly: "Oh yes, it seems that my stepmother was cleaning the kitchen before disappearing. How do you know? The point I want to say is behind." He took another breath, "I think, the three of them I have become a silkworm baby!!!”

"what?"

"It's hard to believe. But I can only tell you." Cui Mingzhi said distressedly, "They disappeared, and suddenly there were three silkworm babies in the house. I can only conclude that the three of them have become silkworm babies!" "

"..." Cui Zhizhi felt that Yan Zhen's expression seemed to be looking at an idiot, and he didn't mind, because this conclusion was indeed unacceptable. "They really turned into silkworm babies!"

"Oh, what I want to ask is, what about the puddle of water on the ground that day?"

"I mopped the floor and flushed the dirty water down the drain." Cui Mingzhi repeated, "Why are you so distracted, what should I do now? The three of my family have become silkworm babies!!!"

Yan Zhen stared at him with a demented look, and then he said, "Say it again, what did you do with the dirty water?"

"Down the drain."
