Chapter 394 Calling Outside the Window (4.4k)
Lu Lincheng still did not attend the dinner table. As chairman of the committee, he seemed to be busy with many affairs and did not even have time to have a meal with his son.
Giovanni brought the stewed chicken soup to the table. Dinner consisted of four dishes and one soup, which was much richer than lunch.
It was so dark outside the window that nothing could be seen, the glass was covered with a layer of snowflakes, and the cold wind was still howling, but staying in a room with a table of hot dishes felt particularly cozy.
"Mom, when things here are over, you can go back with me."
Lu Mingfei took the hot soup that Qiao Weini served for him. There was a chicken drumstick floating in the steaming bowl. There were two drumsticks in total, one in Lu Mingfei's bowl and one in Eliyi's bowl.
Lu Mingfei took a sip, and it tasted surprisingly good.
In his impression, his mother was a woman with poor cooking skills. Although she was not as outrageous as Chu Zihang's mother, and even turning on the fire would cause accidents, the food she cooked was definitely not delicious. "This level.
He remembered that one time, his mother was also making stewed chicken, but when the chicken soup was served, he could clearly see a few black feathers hanging on the chicken skin.
Nowadays, Qiao Weini can make the chicken soup taste delicious, and the feathers of the guinea fowl are also very clean.
Over the past seven years, her cooking skills have improved, and she is increasingly becoming a housewife.
If he could take her back, Lu Mingfei could also learn some cooking skills from her.
Besides, his and Eriki's home is very big and has many empty rooms, so Qiaovini won't be crowded even if she can live there.
Compared to this place where birds don’t lay eggs and there is nothing but snow, living in a single-family villa with a garden is of course more comfortable. You can also set up a grill in the yard and have a barbecue party if you have nothing to do.
He really wanted to take his mother back. On the one hand, he missed her very much. On the other hand, he felt that her mother had spent seven years in a place like this. She should go back and enjoy herself.
As for dad, he has a little secretary wearing black stockings, so let him go and cool off alone.
Lu Mingfei raised his head expectantly, waiting for Qiao Weini's response.
But Qiao Weini just rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei and said calmly: "You are already married, and you still miss your mother? Shouldn't newlyweds be eager to live in a world of two people? Who wants to live with a mother who takes care of so many things?"
"Eri Yi and I have been married for almost half a year." Lu Mingfei corrected: "We received the certificate in March and the wedding was held on April 30. Today is October."
"Really? If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were on honeymoon." Qiao Weini glanced at Huili Yi beside Lu Mingfei.
This girl with delicate facial features like a doll was so elegant even when she was eating. She used her chopsticks to pull off a piece of chicken leg meat, shouted "Sakura, eat it", and wanted to feed the first bite to Lu Mingfei.
Qiao Weini's eyes moved to Lu Mingfei's face, with an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Mingfei looked a little shy, but he still opened his mouth and let his dearest wife feed him.
"My son has grown up too. He doesn't need to be fed by his mother. He needs to be fed by other people's girls." Qiao Weini filled a large bowl of rice from the rice cooker, without even adding vegetables, and took a big bite.
"Mom will eat it too." As she said that, Eriyi actually put the remaining chicken legs in her bowl into Qiao Weini's bowl.
"Eli Yi is so sensible. Otherwise, I would have thought that Eli Yi was my biological daughter." Qiao Weini smiled and touched Eli Yi's head.
From the story told by Lu Mingfei, she learned that Eryi had no parents since she was a child, so she tried her best to provide maternal love to the child.
Eriki seemed to enjoy her touch on the head, and smiled slightly, with a curl of hair on her forehead swaying.
"Mom, if you want to eat chicken drumsticks, you can take this one from my bowl. We had a good meal outside and we don't miss this meal." Lu Mingfei pushed the bowl over.
"Am I like a stepmother who competes with her son and daughter-in-law to eat chicken legs?" Qiao Weini pushed the bowl back.
"I'm serious, Mom, come back with us then. When we got married, my father-in-law gave Eriki and me a big house. You can live with us and play mahjong if you want after we get back." , If you want to go shopping, go shopping." Lu Mingfei continued to persuade.
Giovanni put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "This place was built to take in that boy. What if I leave and someone attacks me again? When that group of people broke in, if I wasn't here, this place might be attacked. Although we still don't know the identity of the boy, letting him fall into the hands of others is definitely not a good choice.
Mingfei, I know you really want your mother to live a good life, but someone has to stay here. I don’t want another person to work here for me after I am transferred. "
"What I mean is that I will take you back after the matter here is over." Lu Mingfei said: "That boy is the 'Lu Mingze' I mentioned, the 'holy son' speculated by the vice principal. I and The principal came here this time to find out his identity. We are going to pull out Kungunir and communicate with him face to face. No matter what the final result is, this asylum will no longer need to exist. By then, Mom How about you just go home with me?"
"Wait, let's not talk about going home first? Are you really planning to pull out Kungunir?" Qiao Weni frowned.
"We have countermeasures." Lu Mingfei glanced at Immortal Zhan who was hanging by the wall and wrapped in white cloth: "If things really develop to an irreversible step, he won't be able to get out of here. However, I think this matter The matter should be resolved peacefully."
"Is that so?" After thinking for a moment, Jovini said with a smile: "If it is really over, then I will go back with you. To be honest, after staying in this place for a long time, I feel like vomiting when I see the snow. I really want to put on my swimsuit and go swimming at the beach in the summer, I almost forgot the last time I swam."
"Next summer, let's go to the beach together." Lu Mingfei smiled: "When the time comes, I will introduce my friends to my mother."
"Okay." Qiao Weini pulled off a chicken wing and put it into Eri's bowl, then gnawed on the chicken leg: "I really want to know who my son has known during the years when his mother was gone. .”
Late at night, Qiao Weini went to sleep in another room, leaving the room with a double bed for Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.
According to Qiao Weini, when she and Lu Lincheng first came here, they slept in this big bed room. Occasionally if they had a fight, she or Lu Lincheng would go to sleep in the single room.
Later, the two of them slept in separate rooms.
This two-bedroom suite was reserved for Giovanni. She lived here alone and slept in a single room.
This large bed room had not been used for a long time, and the bedding and bed covers had a faint musty smell. Judging from this, Qiao Weini and Lu Lincheng slept in separate rooms. It was no longer a temporary thing.
Lu Mingfei opened the blinds and could see searchlights outside the window illuminating the surrounding snow at any time. Two people were guarding with guns, patrolling outside the Khrushchev Towers.
There is a large area of land around here that is buried with mines. If you don't follow the standard route, you will break into the mine array and be blown to pieces. Only trained reindeer can find the right route, but the correct route is all under the searchlight. On the search track, if outsiders hijack the reindeer and try to break in, they will be discovered immediately.
With the arrival of night, one after another, reindeer came back pulling the sleigh.
After dark, those patrolling the Nibelungen border would return to the settlement.
Patrolling in a blizzard at night is not a good choice. Visibility is low, the temperature drops sharply, and there is a high chance that you will not be able to find your way back. Getting lost in the blizzard can kill you.
Unfortunately, throughout the whole day today, the returning patrols did not bring any news about Ange and Chu Zihang.
Lu Mingfei thought that the combination of Anger and Chu Zihang, coupled with Time Zero and Jun Yan, should not be a threat to them as long as they were not the complete Dragon King, so he was not very worried.
Besides, it's useless for him to worry. He can't go out alone to find the principal and senior brothers.
Looking for two lost people in the frozen tundra of a blizzard-torn ice field is undoubtedly equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. It’s better to leave this matter to the professionals.
You know, this shelter was established in 1992. The oldest shelter employee has been in Siberia for eighteen years. To them, the surrounding terrain is like the path next to their hometown. They can walk with their eyes closed, so they are the most suitable search and rescue personnel.
So after Lu Mingfei brushed his teeth and washed his face, he and Eriyi boiled a basin of hot water and warmed their feet in the bedroom.
The enamel basin with Chinese red ribbon printing has traces of repairs on the bottom of the basin. It is very styled in the 1980s and 1990s. It is the footbath Qiao Weini brought from Lu Mingfei’s hometown. Lu Mingfei used to wash his feet in this basin. Pot and mother burned their feet together.
Although he and Eriki were indoors, it couldn't be called warm.
Even if there is heating in the shelter, it cannot provide a comfortable temperature when the outdoor temperature is minus 70 degrees below zero.
In such weather, using a pot of boiling hot water to scald your feet can be described in two words, that is enjoyment.
Lu Mingfei's feet stepped on the pelvic floor, and Hui Liyi's snow-white and petite feet stepped on his instep, stretching his round and lovely toes from time to time, making him feel a little itchy.
After the water temperature dropped to about the same as body temperature, they poured out the foot-washing water, turned off the light and went to bed.
In the room, the double bed was against the wall near the window. Eryi slept close to the wall, and Lu Mingfei was guarding her on the other side.
The girl moved in the thick quilt and lay on her side close to Lu Mingfei's chest. Lu Mingfei's arms stretched out from her neck to hug her.
They just found a comfortable position and cuddled up to sleep.
"Sakura's mother is very good." Eriki whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear in the darkness.
Lu Mingfei touched Eliyi's nose and said, "Do you think it's okay for Eliyi to live with our mother in the future?"
"Okay." Eriki nodded: "Mom is very good. I like living with my mother."
She paused and then said, "Sakura's father is not good and didn't have dinner with us."
"Maybe he is too busy." Lu Mingfei sighed slightly, thinking of Lu Lincheng's face again.
The face still looked familiar, but the person didn't seem to be a familiar person anymore.
"It's very late, let's go to bed first." Lu Mingfei patted Eli Yi's head lovingly.
"Yes." Eliyi nodded, lifted her hair from her ears, stood up slightly, and gave Lu Mingfei a peck on the lips, "Good night."
"Good night." Lu Mingfei smiled and kissed her forehead.
Then the room became quiet, and the only sound of soft breathing beside him was reassuring.
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes. After sleeping with Eryi, he never had insomnia again.
Eriki sleeps very well and doesn't move around when she's asleep. The only drawback is that when she gets up the next day, her arms will inevitably feel numb from the pressure.
But this trivial shortcoming is not a problem at all under the lovely sleeping face of my wife.
He stared at the girl's face in the darkness. The beam of the searchlight passed through the window. Even if the blinds were closed, there were strips of light shining on the quilt, like glowing patterns.
Inside the house, the wind could be heard outside the window, and the glass was banged against.
This sound does not make people feel noisy, but is like the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves when it rains, giving it a quiet atmosphere.
Eriki's breathing gradually calmed down, and Lu Mingfei knew that she had fallen asleep, with a smile on her lips, as if she had had a sweet dream.
Lu Mingfei was tired, but he thought about the calls he heard during the day, closed his eyelids and then opened them again.
The Markov pistol was placed next to the bedside table. Kedimaru and Immortal Zhan stood leaning against the bed, so they could reach out and touch it.
The pistol that can shoot ice bullets was obtained by Lu Mingfei after clearing the "Black Swan Port" escape game. It was originally the pistol of the Soviet lieutenant. Before leaving the exploding Black Swan Port, the lieutenant gave the pistol to Giving it to him, he finally brought the pistol back to reality.
Zero also brings back a wombat named "Zorro" who can summon her sled dog friends.
As for the wedge pill, Lu Mingfei got it after clearing the "Ashina Castle" fortress. Kuro gave him the wedge pill at the beginning.
That day, the White King regained consciousness, and Uesugi Yue, Minamoto Shosheng, Minamoto Young Girl, Lu Mingfei, and Old Tang who stayed in the Philosopher's Stone were all pulled into the dream created by the White King.
Uesugoshi had a dream about Sister Charlotte Chen. He returned to the days when he was still in the Lyon church and lived a peaceful and happy life with his mother.
Minamoto and Minamoto's dreams were in Shikatori Town, where they grew up without meeting Tachibana Masamune and Wangshou, and grew up dull and boring.
Eriki was wearing a wedding dress in her dream, waiting for her groom who did not come.
Old Tang dreamed that Constantine opened a big restaurant, and he feasted in the restaurant.
As for Lu Mingfei, he was not dreaming. He just watched the real "Wolf" clear "Ashina Castle". From the perspective of a bystander, he watched how the "Wolf" ended the battle in Ashina Castle within a few days. Then This is the person Jiuro is really waiting for.
King Bai said that that was what really happened in the second era, and those were all dead people.
Regardless of whether King Bai's words are credible or not, Lu Mingfei's experience in "Ashina City" and his experience in "Black Swan Port" are really very similar. They both replaced someone, did something, and then brought him back. something.
The Black Swan Port is now confirmed to be real.
This shelter is where the boy who escaped from Black Swan Harbor was sealed.
If we extrapolate this, Ashina is also real.
Perhaps it really existed, as King Bai said, a long time ago, in the second era created by "Father".
Later, this era was destroyed by "Father", so Lu Mingfei couldn't find any traces related to Wei Ming, because those people may have become millions, or even loosely think about it, hundreds of millions of years ago. History, history that cannot be verified.
Of course, King Bai might also be lying to him. After all, King Bai didn't have to tell the truth to him.
Originally, he had sealed these things in his heart, but the call he heard during the day made him think about it again and again.
He couldn't sleep thinking about these things, and he didn't dare to move or make any noise for fear of waking up Eri Yi.
But just when he was about to give up, forget about it, and get some sleep first, he suddenly heard the call again.
"Wolf よ、目を覚ませ"
A ghostly childish voice, but fainter than the daytime sounds, came from outside the window.
You heard that right, absolutely.
He suddenly got up from the bed and opened the blinds.
But there was only the wind carrying fine snow blowing coldly.
