Shu Xiaoshu was very surprised to see Cheese's' harvest 'today — it was not expired cans or opened cans, but new ones, and even a lot of frozen meat.
She knew that this child had been out looking for food recently.
Although she didn't want Cheese to do this kind of thing, this family had always been in a state of balance and no savings. If it weren't for Cheese … the other children naturally couldn't do this kind of thing.
As for Shu Xiaoshu herself, it was even more difficult for her to move.
"Cheese, tell me honestly, where did you find these frozen meat?"
Cheese was very smart since childhood. When he heard Shu Xiaoshu's tone, he knew that his mother began to suspect him, but he had already thought about how to deal with it.
So, Cheese lowered his head, trying not to let Shu Xiaoshu see his face, like a child who did something wrong, "Mom … I'm sorry, I, I went to find dad's former colleagues."
"Shu You's …" Shu Xiaoshu was stunned.
Cheese still lowered his head, "The human uncles and aunts of the cleaning company, after hearing that dad … dad passed away, they all pitied me and gave me money. So, I went to buy food for you. "
"Alas … My child." Shu Xiaoshu was both heartbroken and sad. She held the child with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I'll cook the meat for you first, you have to eat more!" Cheese changed the topic at this time, "Even if you don't eat, the brother or sister in your belly also needs to eat!"
"Good boy." Shu Xiaoshu sighed, "It's hard for you."
"Mom, I'm fine!" Cheese raised his head, revealing a big smile, "I'm going to cook! My brother and sister haven't eaten delicious food for a long time! "
"Go ahead." Shu Xiaoshu reluctantly showed a smile, and then returned to the room — in fact, it was just a corner of the basement separated by a curtain.
The youngest daughter was still in the form of a beast and needed to be taken care of often.
Seeing Shu Xiaoshu open the curtain and go in, Cheese frowned, and then gently rubbed his arm.
When the giant rat pinched here, his muscles and bones might have been hurt, but he could only bear it and didn't dare to make a sound.
Cheese quickly took a deep breath, cheered up, and began to cook the meat in his hands.
He prepared the food and helped his younger brothers and sisters eat it. Then he looked after Shu Xiaoshu. He didn't stop until Shu Xiaoshu and other younger brothers and sisters fell asleep.
However, it was already close to midnight.
Cheese left the basement alone, and came to the open space in front of the old house. There were several cement pipes in the open space, Cheese sat on one of them, staring at the moon in the sky.
How long would this kind of life?
That supermarket … I'm afraid I can't go there.
Tomorrow, should I look for another place? Or the food …
Let's not go to primary school.
Come on, Cheese.
You're not a kid anymore, you have to take care of your mother and siblings.
He silently said to himself … He said some things and principles that he could think of and comprehend at his age.
Be strong.
Cheese suddenly burst into tears … be strong.
He slightly shrugged his shoulders, hoping that he could have someone to rely on at this time … a shoulder that was not wide but could bring him safety.
When he was very young, Cheese remembered that Shu You often took him to this place and began to watch the moon and stars. There was no extra entertainment at that time, but Shu You could always tell a lot of interesting stories.
Suddenly, Cheese reached to his collar and took out an iron whistle — this was a gift from Shu You.
These years, Cheese especially cherished this whistle — because Shu You once said that if he was in danger, he should blow this whistle.
Of course, that was when he and Shu You were 'searching for treasures' nearby — Cheese knew that if it was too far away, Shu You couldn't hear it.
How long had it been since the whistle was blown?
In fact, it had never been blown — because Cheese never thought that there would be a day when he couldn't find his father.
But the sound of the whistle …
Cheese said to himself, "It's really like the sound of a hummingbird."
He blew the whistle again and again.
Of course, he didn't dare to use too much strength, but just blew it gently. Cheese told himself that it would only be tonight. After tonight, he would never blow it again. It was useless … it couldn't make him strong, but would only make him weak.
It was too late, Cheese also needed to rest. In less than two weeks, he seemed to have completed the transformation from a boy to a man, thinking of ways to become self-disciplined.
But when he was ready to leave, he suddenly felt like there was a sound behind him, so he turned around instinctively.
Ah!
Cheese suddenly screamed, his body suddenly slid down from the cement pipe!
He saw … the 'thing' that gave him a terrifying experience!
But before his body fell to the ground, Cheese felt his body suddenly became stable — his body was rolled up by something, and finally put down on the place where he was sitting!
This was … the tail of this' thing '!
This was the weird 'thing' that saved him from the Rat Monster in the underground pipe of the supermarket, and then left without saying a word!
It squatted beside him quietly, its hands just happened to be on the pipe, and the tail behind it was swaying gently, tilting its head.
Cheese found that … it didn't seem to be as scary as he imagined.
"You … you came for me?" Cheese at this moment plucked up his courage, but didn't dare to get too close, asking carefully, "You … who are you?"
It seemed that it couldn't speak, Cheese only saw that this' thing ''s eyes made a clicking sound, opening and closing quickly.
Did he understand … or did he not?
"Do you have a name?" Cheese continued to ask curiously.
This' thing 'still didn't answer, but Cheese felt that it seemed to be staring at him … the whistle in his hand.
Cheese was stunned, he subconsciously blew the whistle again, and found that this' thing 'had a reaction again — the tail behind it was swinging faster.
Could it be …
But … how could it be?
Cheese bitterly smiled, and then shook his head.
He glanced at this' thing ', and both of them looked at each other. After a while, Cheese tried to sit closer to it.
"How about, I call you Iron Whistle?" Cheese suddenly said, "… Well, you didn't say anything, so that means you agree?"
It … Iron Whistle blinked, as if to say: I can't speak.
"Iron Whistle! Hahaha! "
…
…
In a room in the Forensic Department of the Bureau.
"Section Chief Qin, it's so late, why are you still here?"
"I'll deal with this, you can get off work first." Old Qin didn't turn around, he just looked up from the microscope, "Don't worry about me."
"Well, section chief, you take care of yourself."
Section Chief Qin was a well-known workaholic … Sometimes he even slept in the office, and the record was that he didn't go home for half a month.
After hearing the door close, Old Qin gently pinched his eyebrows, and then shook his head hard. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then looked at the lens of the microscope again.
It was zooming in on the strange mucus found at the crime scene during the day …
"What … what is this structure?" Old Qin muttered to himself, "It's not a liquid at all … It's more like biological cells?"
Old Qin's frown deepened. But after thinking for a while, he still couldn't get an answer, so he decided to do something to open up his own ideas.
Old Qin took a deep breath, putting on another pair of white gloves, and picked up the scalpel — He planned to do an autopsy overnight.
