Chapter 3977 I Collect Rent in the Survival Game (24)
"Speaking of stray cats, I saw two corpses in the community today. They were tortured and killed. I don't know who could be so cruel to the small animals."
Xu Nuan was stunned for a moment and frowned subconsciously. Cat lovers couldn't hear such words, "Oh my god, this is too much."
"Are you overflowing with kindness again?" Zhao Sheng teased.
Xu Nuan pursed her lips and wanted to get up: "I wonder where you saw the bodies? I have to bury them, I can't let them just..."
"I've buried it, don't worry." Ran Bai said.
Xu Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, with a grateful smile on his face, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I would have done the same."
"You guys talk." Zhao Sheng did not interfere in the conversation between women and pinched Xu Nuan's face.
Xu Nuan held the warm water cup and took a sip. Seeing that the water in front of Ranbai was not moving, she felt a little embarrassed: "I don't have any drinks at home. My husband said these are not healthy, and children don't drink them either."
"It's okay." Ranbai asked casually, "You have lived in the apartment for a long time, right."
"We've moved here since the beginning."
"Are you getting along well with other tenants?" She smiled: "I think some tenants are not very friendly."
"It's okay, they are all neighbors in the same building." Xu Nuan looked gentle.
"Mom! Mom!" The child's cry was soft, gradually getting louder, and came from the bedroom on the right.
The neighborhood fell into darkness late at night.
The person walking on the road looked particularly ugly and walked in a hurry. He looked around in panic. The distance was gloomy and there was no end in sight.
When he took the elevator, he clearly pressed the button for the eleventh floor, but he went directly to the first floor!
Even the missionaries around him disappeared.
He knew that something must be moving in the dark. Usually when someone is alone...
The taskmaster did not dare to think any further.
"Meow."
"Meow."
A cat meows in the grass, distant and near, misty.
He had no idea, he couldn't get up the elevator, and there was a doll in the tunnel, so he could only look for clues outside.
The soft meowing sound is still going on.
Dozens of wild cats appeared silently in the darkness and walked towards the man.
…
The little girl cried and called her mother louder and louder,
Xu Nuan stood up in a hurry, "You sit down first, I'll go take a look."
"go quickly."
Xu Nuan hurriedly opened the bedroom door and quickly closed it. However, an orange cat slipped out of the bedroom. Xu Nuan didn't care about it. The door blocked his view.
The orange cat didn't look too fat. He meowed non-stop and looked at Ranbai warily.
Girls tilt their heads, no harm to humans or animals.
The orange cat was running around, jumping from the cat climbing frame to the coffee table, meowing all the time, and accidentally knocked over a photo album placed above.
Ranbai stretched out his hand to catch it, keeping his gaze above.
The photo is of a family. Xu Nuan and her husband are smiling sweetly and happily. The two little girls are also looking in the direction of the camera with bright lips.
It's like...the family is staring at Ranbai who is holding a photo album.
A very heartwarming family portrait.
The date is written on it.
Taken on May 7, 2397.
It was taken two months ago.
Ranbai was thoughtful and tapped the photo frame.
A photo accidentally appeared at the bottom. It was already a bit old and yellowish.
"Are you having nightmares again?" In the pink princess room,
Xu Nuan touched the little girl's hair distressedly and sounded pitiful.
The princess room was very large, and the two little girls had already slept in separate rooms. There were large dolls and dolls everywhere, and they were all laughing.
The little girl's face was pale, and she threw herself pitifully into the woman's arms. She grabbed her collar with tears in her eyes and said, "Mom, sleep with me."
"Mom is entertaining guests." Xu Nuan patted the little girl's back and coaxed patiently: "Can you let the doll sleep with you?"
The little girl was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. Xu Nuan stuffed the doll with bright lips and a grin next to her into the girl's arms.
Her crying slowly stopped, and she hugged the doll tightly, her nails almost embedded in the fabric, and her little face calmed down, "Is it my sister in the daytime?"
"Yes, Xiaoling also wants to meet her sister?"
The little girl nodded vigorously.
"Mom will take you there." Xu Nuan picked up the little girl. The little girl held the doll in her arms and walked out of the princess room. The dolls in the room were smiling happily, their eyes were like glass, and there were two orange cats lying on the bed.
In the living room, the orange cat lay at Ranbai's feet.
Ranbai looked at the old photo.
The background of the photo was an old building, like a place in an old city, old and chaotic, with four big characters faintly visible at the back.
Peaceful apartment.
The current Ping An Apartment doesn’t look like this. Was it the first one seven years ago?
There are three young people standing in the photo.
Two girls were standing together hand in hand, with a boy standing next to them.
They looked a bit familiar, and I could still recognize that one of the girls was Xu Nuan, and the boy was Zhao Sheng. They must have been young at that time, with youthful brilliance and shyness in their smiles.
The girl Xu Nuan was holding had no face.
Her face was torn off.
The photo is missing a piece, leaving only the body, which looks a bit creepy.
According to what the old man said, the Ping An Apartment was demolished seven years ago, and this photo has been there for at least seven years.
"Click——"
The door opened suddenly.
Ranbai took out his phone and took a photo of the photo. The moment he heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly stuffed the photo back in and put the album back in its place.
"Meow."
When Xu Nuan came out with the little girl in her arms, Ranbai was playing with the cat. The orange cat was not afraid of animals and was very spiritual. It kept barking.
"It seems that you also like cats very much." Xu Nuan saw this scene when he came out and gently put the little girl on the sofa. "Xiao Ling has always wanted to see you. She likes you very much."
Ranbai raised her eyebrows, pinched the orange cat's paw with her fingers, and looked at the little girl, "I like children too."
The little girl looked at her shyly, her black and silky hair spread behind her, her eyes that had just cried were misty and pure black, but after looking at them for a long time, it made people feel inexplicably weird, her face was snow-white, and her lips were bright red.
"Xiaoling, don't you think so?" the woman encouraged the child.
"I also like my sister very much." She held the doll tightly and whispered.
"Mom is partial and won't take me to see my sister." A childish voice rang from the other side. A barefoot girl came out of the bedroom. Her pajamas were soft and her hair was fluffy. She was exactly the same as the little girl on the sofa, even her voice. Same thing.
There was a fluffy carpet in the living room. She walked over barefoot and glanced at Dianbai sheepishly.
Two little girls sat side by side, holding dolls in their arms, staring at Ranbai with their big eyes.
"..."
Want to gouge out...
"I'm going to get the rent." Xu Nuan told Ran Bai, coaxing the two little girls: "Would you like to play with your sister here? Be obedient and don't make your sister angry."
The two little girls blushed and nodded, their expressions looking the same.
Xu Nuan got up and walked to the bedroom.
"Big sister." One of the little girls struggled to get up from the sofa and grabbed her white sleeves.
