The two fell into the darkness all of a sudden, and the function of vision was cut off in an instant.

Ruan Su could almost feel that Jiang Kefan's breath was close at hand.

Before Jiang Kefan could recover, he thought it was a zombie that was about to jump out, and subconsciously grabbed the photo in his hand, "Grass...scared me."

Ruan Su was silent for a while, "Let's go to the first floor and have a round with the others."

"Row."

The two stepped forward cautiously and walked forward in the dark.Suddenly, Jiang Kefan accidentally kicked something that looked like a birdcage, and a series of noises rang out.

Ruan Su teased, "Do you want me to carry you away?"

"You idiot." The familiar middle finger was vaguely seen in the darkness, "I grew up in the dark."

It was only then that Ruan Su remembered that Jiang Kefan had been fighting all the way in the sewer since he was a child.

...It seems that the trick of acting cool doesn't seem to work on him.

After his eyes got used to the darkness, Jiang Kefan trotted down the stairs easily, eager to show Peng Ming the photos.Ruan Su followed behind him, and the two went down to the first floor, gradually seeing the bright candlelight in the living room.

"Hi, are you back?" Peng Ming waved his hand from afar, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Jiang Kefan waved the photo in his hand, and the people around suddenly gasped: "Good news, the plot is coming."

"You're actually looking for clues!"

"It's amazing. We searched all afternoon and couldn't find it."

"Where was this found? The bathroom?"

"In the master bedroom..." Ruan Su touched his nose, "in the cloakroom."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly they couldn't figure it out, why did these two big men go to the bathroom and finally went to the master bedroom together?

But Jiang Kefan didn't notice the strange eyes of other people, and threw the photo to Peng Ming: "Brother Peng Ming, look at this old man."

Ruan Su's eyes lit up, and he called "Brother Peng Ming" very fluently.

Then he subconsciously imagined the scene where Jiang Kefan called him "Brother Ruan Su".

...or don't think about it.

Peng Ming took the photos and looked at them by candlelight. Those group photos were basically the life photos of the three family members. From the label of the photos, it can be seen that the old man's surname is "Du".

"Is this the owner of the house?"

"Maybe."

Jiang Kefan sat down beside him.Ruan Su reached out and handed over the envelope in his hand.

"And these."

The photos were circulated among the other teammates one by one, "The one who lives here must be this old man." "Aren't these typical family letters?"

Peng Ming carefully opened the envelope and read it word by word.

"Mom and Dad, how are you doing? Is Mom in good health? I have found a job and I plan to settle down there. The conditions in the factory are not bad, except that there are no holidays all year round, and the work is relatively hard. But I have I'm content! I don't have much education, and it's good to be able to find a job in the city. It's just that sometimes I can't sleep at night, and I miss the leek dumplings made by my mother. However, when my eldest brother gets married next year, we will have It's time for fun!"

"What a simple letter." Ai Guo blinked, "There are still a few typos."

"Then... this seems to be a reply letter." Peng Ming picked up another piece of letter paper, "Son, we have been doing well recently. Congratulations on finding a job, and work hard in the future to stand out. Your mother is illiterate, so I put this Feng Xinxin told her, and she happily made a lot of dumplings, and said to find a way to mail them to you. Son, take care of yourself. "

At this time, Luo Sheng found another group photo among a bunch of old photos.The appearance of four people was printed on the photo.At that time, there was a couple sitting in front of them, and two teenagers standing behind them.It can be seen that the mother of the family was still alive at that time.In the lower right corner is a line of small labels: "1980, commemoration of the Du family".

"Hey~ That's great!" Ai Guo couldn't help hooking her boyfriend Luo Sheng's shoulder, "This family is so warm."

A warm family, the ink in the family letter seems to reveal a strong sense of humanity.

"What about the next letter?" Ruan Su pointed, "Go on and read."

"...Mom and Dad, the matter with Jingjing has been negotiated. The wedding banquet is scheduled for the 27th of January. Jingjing's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, I brought her to buy a lot of new clothes and bought some for her baby. By the way, is Mom still arguing about coming home to take care of her daughter-in-law? You need to help her. You also know that Mom’s health has become worse and worse in recent years, and long-distance travel is too much It’s been hard work. Besides, Jingjing’s living habits are different from ours, and there will be conflicts if we get along. However, the marriage is coming soon, and I will come back to pick you up next month.”

"But in fact, we can still see some hidden small contradictions." Peng Ming held his chin and thought, "Mom's health is not very good, and this elder brother is married with a son, and the daughter-in-law he married seems to be a bit...unseemly. How does it feel to be in the mother-in-law's house?"

"This Jingjing should be a girl from the city. She and her mother-in-law in a remote country must not be able to understand each other. It's best to live separately." Ai Guo agreed, "Hey! Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a bad relationship."

"Keep reading down."

"Mom fell ill and was hospitalized last time, which really scared us. My younger brother even went to the temple to pray for incense, hoping to bless my safety. Later... the test results were not satisfactory, so I thought about taking my mother home to take care of her for a while. Time. Unexpectedly, because of this, Jingjing and I had a big fight, and finally broke up. I was caught in it, and it was very painful...

You know, the baby is just one month old... Jingjing quit her job again, saying that she had some kind of postpartum...depression.well.What kind of disease is that?Mom gave birth to our two big fat boys in one go, didn't she go to work in the fields the next day?Now, the family's money has become tight, and I even have to ask my younger brother to borrow money.Alas, my big brother deserves it, what a failure.Dad, I'm sorry, I can only work hard for you to take care of mom. "

Ai Guo sighed: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

"On the one hand is the younger brother who has not yet married and his job is not stable," Luo Cheng was speechless, "on the other hand is the older brother who has married but his own family has become a mess...Indeed, neither side seems to be of much help ah."

Jiang Kefan grabbed another envelope: "Well, this is a reply letter."

"Don't worry, she has been much better recently. You have to take good care of Jingjing, she is your daughter-in-law. It is our greatest wish to see you living a happy life."

"It sounds a bit lonely..." Luo Sheng sighed, "But there is nothing I can do."

Ai Guo sighed and said, "This old couple must have a very good relationship. They understand that in family relations, marriage comes first."

Peng Ming flipped through the letter afterward, and his expression became a little sad: "The letter that follows...is a watershed."

Ai Guo was taken aback: "What watershed?"

"...Dad, it's been half a year since my mother died of illness. During the past six months, I've been in a lot of pain. I lost my mother and my job. Sometimes, I think, she didn't even hug her grandson a few times. She didn't even have time to enjoy the blessings of her offspring, so how could she just leave? She is the best mother in the world, alas.

For the past month, I have been busy looking for a new job every day, and sometimes I only eat a few steamed buns a day.Fortunately, I met Xiao Liu who worked with me.She and I encouraged each other, and I gritted my teeth and persisted.Dad, I'm sorry.I may not be able to go home for the New Year this year, and I have no face to go back. "

"'She is much better', it really is a comforting word." Ai Guo suddenly felt a little melancholy, "Mother died of illness in the end."

"My younger brother had a miserable life afterwards."

Peng Ming picked up the next letter. The handwriting on the reply letter from his father paused, and at the end he only wrote one sentence: "Take care of yourself outside, and come back when you want to go home."

Another half year passed, and the elder brother also sent a letter.

"The scene of accompanying you to arrange mother's funeral that day seems to be still yesterday. Over the past year, I have thought a lot. Only then did I really understand what is meant by: 'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be raised but not to be kissed.' The baby finally When I was old enough to go to school, Jingjing also planned to go outside to find another job. My life finally started to get on the right track. I thought, I can't waste any more time, it's time to do something to repay you..."

"My brother and I have decided that each of us will spend some money to build a new house for you in our hometown."

"We know that your life in the old house is very inconvenient. The old house is very simple, the furniture is damaged, damaged, and aging... It is very uncomfortable for you to live alone. Therefore, we want to build for you A new house, do you think it's okay?"

"By the way, do you know? My brother and a little girl from the same factory have gotten along well. They have been getting along very well. It has been half a year. If there is no accident... Mom's last wish before she passed away was finally granted. Achieved."

Ai Guo suddenly realized: "Oh, so - that's how this house came about!"

"It seems that up to now, the younger brother has a girlfriend, and the older brother has taken care of his little family... Both of them have stabilized their lives."

Turning back, the time span of the correspondence is getting bigger and bigger... The contents of the letters are mostly trivial things in life.The baby is going to school, and the younger brother is getting married... until the last letter says that the eldest bought a mobile phone for Dad.

Peng Ming asked, "Where did that phone go?"

"I don't know," Jiang Kefan recalled carefully, shaking his head, "I didn't see any mobile phone."

"Actually, if there are correspondences," Luo Sheng added from the side, "it means that the two sons seldom see their father."

"That's right... After the mother passed away, they seemed to seldom go home." Ai Guo recalled those letters, "It seems that they only come back once a year during the Chinese New Year, and sometimes the brothers may not be able to get together. "

Peng Ming was silent for a while, then analyzed: "Actually, it's understandable. Maybe the mother is the core bond that maintains this family. Once this bond is lost, the two sons will each form their new family..."

Everyone looked at each other, and there were many complicated emotions in their eyes for a while.

"However, after knowing the origin of this house—" Aiguo stood up with a smile and waved his arms, "I don't seem to be so scared anymore!"

Luo Sheng put his arms around her waist: "Why, is the heroine already sure of winning?"

"That's not enough." Ai Guo stretched her waist, "It's just that I think this is just an ordinary people's nursing home, and there might not be any three-legged zombies or alien monsters running out, right?"

Ruan Su shook her head silently, she was still too naive.

At this time, the light of the candle suddenly flickered.Ai Guo turned around and glanced out of the window, the night was still groggy: "By the way, how long have we been here? Why do I feel like it's been at least five or six hours...but the day hasn't lit up at all Signs?"

"Do we have anything here that can record the time?" Luo Sheng asked again, "A watch, a mechanical screen or something like that."

Peng Ming shook his head, "The day and night in the game are set by the main god at will. The night can be ten hours, twenty hours, thirty hours, or... infinitely long until the end of the game."

There was a gasp from the crowd.

"Then—then don't we have to be in the dark all the time?"

"But these candles can't last that long!"

"Hey," Luo Sheng jumped up suddenly, "I have a proposal!"

"what?"

"Anyway, it's been so long now, and the first plot was triggered, and nothing strange appeared. I guess it won't be so easy to trigger the second plot in a short time." Luo Sheng smiled and clapped his hands, " It just so happens that we are bored sitting here empty-handed, and we tend to get sleepy after a long time. Or——shall we divide the rooms here now?"

The author has something to say: I don’t even have a list. How did the new cutie see me? Is it because of fate?
