Between life and death [unlimited]

Seeing old George's kind eyes with a slight smile, Jiang Xun suddenly felt that he was too cautious for some reason.After all, his identity here is no longer a killer, but the distant nephew of an ordinary old man, a very ordinary ordinary person.

Yes, he is finally just an ordinary, normal person now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai smiled relieved, his nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed, and he answered Old George's teasing in a somewhat relaxed tone: "No, uncle, I just think this dish smells too good, Smell it for a while."

Old George was also very happy to hear Jiang Lai's obviously relaxed tone, "That's right, little George, the most important thing is to be happy every day. It's my uncle who is going to die soon, but you see I live a happy life every day. Aren't they all happy?"

If old George's eyes were not diseased, he could clearly see the surprised expression on Jiang Li's face, but Jiang Li didn't let his breath become disordered. He knew that Old George's hearing was very good, after all, he didn't know Did George Jr. know the news that George Jr. was about to pass away, so he didn't dare to act out of line.

Maybe Little George named Old George for the legacy of Old George after his death.

After the pseudo-uncles and nephews finished their meal, Jiang Lai helped Old George clean up the dining table, and he found that Old George had a very good habit.Old George's family didn't look poor, and could even be considered wealthy, but Old George didn't throw away the leftovers directly. Instead, he packed them up and put them in the refrigerator for refrigeration.

"Little George, are you surprised that your uncle is so rich, why did he keep all the leftovers?" Old George asked suddenly as if he had heard what Jiang Lai was thinking.

Before Jiang Lai answered, Old George seemed to be just joking, and continued to talk to himself: "If you were born a few years earlier, during that period, you would know what food means to us. "

"This is a gift from God. It is God who created us, and at the same time created the source of life that allows us to live." Old George suddenly said with emotion, "You know, your uncle and I started out mining gold ...but in my eyes, the gold mined is far less valuable than the 'gold' planted in the land."

After saying this, the old Chris laughed at himself again, "You are still a child, what am I talking to you for so much... Anyway, I don't have a few days to live, the nonsense is really getting more and more serious." too much."

Jiang Lai was not affected by him, and continued to wash the dishes in silence, still not saying a word to what old George said.

The time soon came to the evening, and the night was about to fall.Old George's home was a two-story bungalow. Old George took Jiang Li to the second floor, pointed to one of the rooms and said to him: "My dear nephew, you live in this room at night, and I live in yours." On the opposite side, if you need anything, you can talk to me at any time."

Jiang Lai asked at this time: "Uncle, have you forgotten anything else that you haven't told me?"

"Oh, look at me, I'm such an old fool." Old George patted his forehead and said with a smile, "I forgot what I promised to tell you. Forgive your uncle, little George, let's go in and talk chat."

The room that Old George prepared for Jiang Lie was very spacious and warmly furnished. The floor was covered with a soft white tweed carpet, and the bedding was obviously made of relatively good fabrics. It would be very pleasant to lie on it. comfortable.

Jiang Lai sat by the bed, the mattress was so soft that he almost sank into it, while old George sat on the sofa next to the bed, reflecting the dim yellowish light beside the sofa, making the old man George seemed very amiable.

Old George thought for a while, as if he didn't know where to start, but he still picked up a topic and started to narrate: "You must not remember, what was the reason I went to my sister's house, which is your home."

He fell into deep memories, "You were just born that year, and there was a famine in the Poratello area where I was, and there were no crops growing on the land, and the food stocks in the town were quickly used up...you come here You should also notice that we seldom communicate with the outside world. This is mainly because of the peculiar landform here, and few outside vehicles can drive in. In the past, when there were no natural disasters, we still had enough food. What we ate..."

"It's a bit far away," Old George recovered from his trance, and he looked at Jiang Xun with tender eyes, "Good boy, my dear nephew, my life couldn't go on at that time, so I had to be alone Go to your home alone to ask for help. I know my sister is not well off, but he is still willing to provide me with some food so that I can survive."

"So my child, I am an old widower, and I don't have a few days to live. In order to repay my sister's kindness to me, I called you here and let you be the first heir to my estate."

Old George suddenly stretched out his hands to hold Jiang's right hand. His cataract-suffering eyes suddenly became bright. He looked closely at Jiang's. The skin on his hand was as dry as bark, but his palm was surprisingly warm. .

Jiang Lai didn't like or even hated the touch from others, but he didn't know why, after seeing Old George's gentle eyes, he didn't stop Old George's trembling movements just now, but he didn't either. make any response.

Old George held his hand and said to his nephew in a friendly tone: "I have no heirs. Although I haven't visited you at my sister's house for a long time, every time my sister tells me about your growth, I feel as if you grew up beside me. In my eyes, there is no difference between you and my own child."

"My dear nephew, little George, if you mind if I call you so affectionately, please forgive me. I don't have a few days left to live. I just want to experience the feeling of having children before I die."

"I've been alone for too long..."

Afterwards, old George babbled on a lot more, but most of it was repetition.Just like an ordinary and ordinary old man who is about to die, old George always forgets what he wants to say, and just keeps picking out trivial things in life and telling Jiang Xun.

But Jiang Lai still listened to him patiently.When he was resting on the bed, he felt an unknown feeling about what happened just now.

As the old George said, Jiang Lai had been alone for too long, and his previous life had nothing but killing.

But he himself doesn't feel lonely, like a born killer who hides in the dark, he has no feelings for anything, and he can't feel the emotions of normal people.His attitude towards everyone and everything is also consistent and cold, without any warmth.

The people Jiang Xun had come into contact with before—except for the instructors in the organization who didn’t treat them as human beings—were the targets that the organization needed to assassinate, and what these target people showed to him before they died was fear or unwillingness ugly face.

No one has ever been so close to him.

Jiang Lai felt an unknown emotion suddenly appearing somewhere in his heart, and he didn't know exactly what this feeling was.

The night outside was already very deep, Jiang Lai listened to the birds chirping outside the window, lay on the comfortable bed, and kept thinking about the content of this mission.

He suddenly remembered that the name of this mission was "Son of the River", and the background of the mission was that there were monsters eating people in the Poratello area, and then recalled the words and actions of the middle-aged aunt he met at noon. It seemed that this time The task should have an inseparable relationship with the river I saw at noon.

The local people's attitude towards the river is to avoid it. Maybe that river is where the son of the river once appeared, or, more likely, that is its habitat.

Considering that the content of the mission is to help the residents of the Polatello area solve the problem of the cannibalism of the sons of the river, but the mission does not clearly state what method the players need to adopt to solve the problem.

What if, simply kill the man-eating son of the river?Then it must not be able to eat people anymore.And in this way, the problem should be solved.

But if the task can be completed in this way, then the difficulty of this task is a bit easier for Jiang Xun.

Perhaps, there are other better ways to solve the problem of the children of the river eating people?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lai's mind became more and more unclear, and his vision gradually became blurred. Slowly, he just fell asleep like this.

Jiang Xun was woken up by a rustling sound in the middle of the night. He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table in a trance, and it was three o'clock in the morning.

He didn't understand how he fell asleep just like that. According to the work and rest habits in the real world, Jiang Lai would not feel tired even if he stayed up for two days and two nights.

"Da da da……"

Someone is walking down the corridor!Jiang Lai woke up immediately.

Jiang Lai quietly got out of bed, and opened the door of his room a crack, he wanted to see if the people who were still walking outside in the middle of the night were people or ghosts.

Therefore, Jiang Lai saw through the narrow gap that a somewhat short figure was walking outside the door.He thought to himself: This can't be the old George who came out to wake up at night, because the height obviously doesn't match.

I saw that short figure gradually walking towards Jiang Li, so Jiang Li saw more and more clearly. His eyesight has always been very good. When the figure was still four meters away from him, Jiang Li See clearly the true appearance of that short figure.

That figure didn't walk upright with two legs like a normal person, on the contrary, it crawled around on the ground with human-like limbs, just like a baby.But its head was much larger than a normal baby's, about the size of a teenager's head.

With such a sick and weird combination, Jiang Xun was sure that the monster in front of him must be the son of the river mentioned in the mission!

The son of the river obviously didn't know that Jiang Lai was awake at this time, and had been observing it for a long time behind the door.It continued to crawl towards Jiang Shuang's room, and while crawling, the teenager's head was still laughing like a baby's voice.

"Hee hee hee……"

Seeing that the son of the river is getting closer and closer, just when Jiang Lai thought that the son of the river was going to enter his room, he did not expect that the goal of the son of the river was not his house at all, but just opposite him - the old man George's house!

The Son of the River stretched out his baby-like hand, and slapped it on the door of Old George's room mischievously. Then he covered his split mouth and covered it with his hand. Mouth full of fangs.

Then it ducked to the side of the door, looking like it wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek with someone else.

The old George in the house was awakened by the loud knock on the door. He thought that his nephew had encountered some problem, so he put on his clothes, walked slowly to the door, and asked, "Little George, did you knock?" the door, little George."

The son of the river tried his best to hold back his smile, not letting himself make any sound. The flash of light in his eyes as big as copper bells revealed his malicious intentions at this time, and the transparent liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth was about to To salivate to the ground.

Old George never heard Jiang Lai's answer, so he asked a little strangely: "Isn't it you who knocked on the door? My nephew?"

Jiang Lai had been hiding in the darkness without making a sound before. In fact, he had been silently observing every movement of the son of the river. The moment Old George opened the door, the son of the river was about to pounce on his thigh with a grinning grin. Jiang Lai is finally dispatched!

I saw Jiang Lai holding the plastic beads he picked up randomly in his hand, quickly calculating the possible trajectory of the son of the river in his mind, and then he threw it hard at the point that the son of the river must pass through!

According to the force with which he threw it just now, the scene of the son of the river being injured in his imagination did not appear smoothly. The bead seemed to just hit the son of the river, making it feel a little pain, but it did not hurt it severely.

After the son of the river was hit, he screamed angrily, which sounded like a wild cat going crazy. At the same time, the ruthless electronic synthesis sound of the system also sounded in Jiang Shang's ears.
