Inside The Black Mist Chapter 86: Happy family (for collection)
After leaving the classroom, Tian Yang and Lao Xu came to the parking lot of the college together. When he saw the Chiyue Saber hanging beside Tianyang's electromagnetic locomotive, Lao Xu was a little surprised.
Tianyang started the locomotive: "Our weapons have passed biometric identification, and it is useless for others to take them. Besides, I don't think anyone would dare to take the equipment of the Nightcrawler casually."
Old Xu shook his head: "I'm surprised not because of this, but because you took the weapon out of the door. Brother, although we nightcrawlers can carry weapons in the city, but if you run around with it so swaggeringly, it is inevitable Make some gossip."
Tianyang shrugged: "So you meant this, but I didn't pay attention. Something happened last night, so I think it's necessary to carry it with you."
Old Xu's two eyebrows, which were not too thick, tightened slightly: "What happened last night?"
Tianyang briefly described the incident of the figure outside the elevator door.
Old Xu reminded him: "You should report to the captain."
Tianyang scratched his hair: "Actually, I'm not sure, maybe I'm overthinking. If I bother the captain because of this, I think it's too much."
"You're right if you want to say that, then, be careful yourself." While speaking, Old Xu walked to a tricycle, opened the door and got in.
The locomotive appears to have been used for some time, with some peeling paint on the exterior, one headlight appears to be broken, and the tires are patched.
It seems that Lao Xu does not have a lot of money, otherwise, with his status, he should be able to drive a better car.
Old Xu poked his head out of the window: "Come on, go to my house, don't get lost."
Tianyang laughed.
It is also a nightcrawler, but the dormitory apartments are not next to each other. In fact, the residential units in Shangcheng District are limited, especially those who have been promoted to Shangmin like Tianyang, who themselves have no property in Shangcheng District.
So, if Tianyang wants to move to the upper city, it needs to apply, and the fortress will take back some vacant apartments, re-register the property rights, and then distribute them to the applicants.
If Tianyang dies in battle and has no relatives, the house will be taken back by the fortress and handed over to the next applicant.
And even if there are relatives, the fortress will only give relatives a three-year temporary residence period. Once the deadline is up, if you can't pay the contribution points stipulated by the fortress, you will have to move out.
This is one of the rules of the Bastion.
When he came near Lao Xu's apartment building, Tian Yang noticed that this building had been used for many years. It is currently being renovated and repaired. On the west side of the building, there are shelves on the outer wall, and workers are painting those shelves.
Also, there is no elevator.
Walking on the stairs, Lao Xu led the way: "The houses in our area have been built for more than 40 years, almost catching up with my age. The city hall has always planned to demolish and rebuild, but resettlement of residents It’s a big problem, and after procrastination and procrastination, it was decided not to demolish it this year, but to renovate it.”
When he came to the fourth floor, Lao Xu didn't open the door, but rang the doorbell.
A moment later, a childish voice rang through the intercom on the door: "Who is it?"
Old Xu Chaotianyang squeezed his eyes and said with a smile: "Guess."
There was a cheer on the intercom: "It's Dad who's back."
The door opened immediately, and a small figure rushed out from inside, jumping on Old Xu.
Lao Xu hugged her and turned around twice before Tianyang saw clearly that she was a five or six-year-old girl.
Old Xu rubbed his daughter's swollen face vigorously: "Mai Mai, do you miss Dad?"
"I think so much." The little girl hugged Lao Xu's neck and kissed him **** the face, the voice was so loud that the whole corridor could hear it.
Old Xu picked up his daughter, and said to Tianyang with a bit of showing off: "This is my daughter, Mai Mai, isn't she cute?"
The corner of Tianyang's mouth twitched slightly: "It's quite cute."
Old Xu laughed happily and said to his daughter, "Call me brother."
The child named Maimai called out childishly: "Brother is good."
"Old Xu, are you back?" A gentle female voice sounded from the door.
Old Xu walked in with his daughter in his arms: "I'm back, Zijin, we have guests today. Well, Tianyang, come in quickly, don't stand around stupidly outside."
Tianyang entered the room with a smile and saw Lao Xu's wife.
She is much younger than Lao Xu, with her long hair **** and wearing an apron, she looks like she is cooking.
She stood by the window, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to her husband with some complaints: "If you have a guest, don't notify me first, and I will cook two more dishes. You can sit with your friends first." .”
Old Xu had a look of enjoyment, and after his wife entered the kitchen, he dragged Tianyang into the living room: "I'll have something to eat later, sit down, and I'll get you a book."
Abandoning Tianyang and his daughter, Lao Xu got into the room.
The little girl has been staring at Tianyang curiously: "Brother, why is your hair silver?"
Tianyang scratched his hair: "Well, it's a long story."
The little girl took two steps back vigilantly: "Mom said boys who like to dye their hair are bastards, brother, are you?"
Tianyang was a little dumbfounded.
"I don't know about others, but you brother Tianyang, I can assure you that he is definitely not a bastard." hands.
Wheat hugged Lao Xu's leg and said with a smile, "I believe in Dad, then I will make friends with you."
Tianyang was amused by the little girl, and then he looked at the book in his hand.
"Analysis of Reverse Boundary Text".
Old Xu patted on the book: "This is a good thing, you have to return it to me after reading it."
It can be seen that Lao Xu cherishes this book, just like he cherishes this happy family. Tianyang suddenly understood why Lao Xu had so many worries in the reverse world.
Simple, because there are people in the fort waiting for his return.
After two meals at Old Xu's house, Tianyang spent an afternoon helping him install and paint a wooden horse.
At eight o'clock in the evening, he bid farewell to Lao Xu's family and drove back to his apartment alone.
This time Tianyang didn't take the elevator, he took the stairs instead. When he came to the floor where the house was located, Tian Yang gripped the Chiyue Saber tightly.
But tonight, there is nothing unusual in the corridor, and there is no feeling of being watched.
He opened the door and entered the room, sat on the chair in the living room, and put the saber aside.
Taking a short break before getting up to take a shower, Tianyang's hair was blown by a gust of evening wind.
The boy was walking in the direction of the bathroom, and just after taking a few steps, he stopped suddenly. Then he returned to the chair like lightning, Chi Yue's saber was unsheathed!
The window is open.
But he remembered that when he left in the morning, he had already closed all the doors and windows.
Tianyang came to the window silently, and touched the window sill with his hands. There were no marks on the window sill, but a strange feeling came from the palm of his hand, and when he turned over again, a few gravels stuck to his hand.
The boy stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly. Very salty, like the sand on the beach that has been washed by the sea for many years.
Tianyang looked around the entire living room, and finally saw the half-hidden door of the bedroom...
