After walking into the kitchen, closing the door, and turning on the range hood, Yu Sheng felt his heart slowly calm down as the machine made noisy noises.
It was as if the thin wooden door in the kitchen and the noisy sound of the range hood helped him temporarily isolate a chaotic and strange world from the outside - he finally returned to a place that belonged completely to himself, and could even temporarily pretend that he was not there.
A huge and strange "boundary city", but returned to the real "home" that he is familiar with.
This big house was different from his original "home" in every way, but only this small kitchen was very close to the structure in his memory, so after settling down in this world, he tried to decorate the place as much as possible
It has become a familiar look.
While cooking here every day, he pretended that he was still at his real home, pretending that he had never opened the door that morning and stepped into a strange city full of strange shadows - sometimes he was busy here,
He even felt that as soon as he raised his head, he would see the familiar street scene from the past through the window. He would see the old street outside the kitchen bathed in orange-red clouds, and the red sunshine on the exterior walls of the residential buildings in his memory.
flowing on...
But the scenery outside the window always broke his short-lived imagination. Looking out the window now, he could only see a bare open space and low and old bungalows not far away. There were no residential buildings here, but there were quite a few messy ones.
He had not seen the telegraph poles and the warm and cozy sky in his memory for a long time.
The skylight in this city is always either bright and blinding, or dim and oppressive.
Yu Sheng sighed and closed the blinds outside the glass, not paying attention to the night outside that seemed to be forever shadowy.
Picking and washing vegetables, heating the pot with cold oil, sautéing chopped green onions, and quickly putting the ingredients into the pot. Listening to the sizzling sound coming from the pot, Yu Sheng heard the sound of a TV program coming from outside the door - this weird house
The city does have a series of devices including televisions, mobile phones, etc.
Information acquisition channels, in the initial period, his understanding of this "boundary city" was almost all achieved through watching TV programs and reading news on his mobile phone, and even now, this is how he understands this "world"
One of the important ways.
"Yu Sheng! The TV sound is too low! Help me turn it up! Please!"
A girl's whirring sound suddenly came from outside the door. Yu Sheng was startled for a moment. His hands shook and he almost tipped the dishes out of the pot.
He almost forgot that there was Irene outside.
When he was cooking in the kitchen, no one talked outside!
"Wait!" Yu Sheng replied loudly and rudely, but couldn't help but mutter, "...she is quite familiar..."
But soon he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a helpless smile.
Okay, okay, it just adds a bit of "popularity" to this house, it's a movement at least.
After a while, Yu Sheng came out with a hot meal. He placed the dishes on the dining table, turned up the volume of the TV opposite the dining table by two levels, and then sat down with his back to the TV.
Opposite Lin's picture frame - he didn't have the habit of watching TV when he was eating, but he would turn it on as a background sound. This would not compete with Irene, who could only watch TV from a fixed angle.
Erin was holding a teddy bear in the oil painting and stretched her neck to look at the food on the table. She glanced at the program and then at the dining table, muttering: "It's quite rich..."
"These are home-cooked dishes," Yu Sheng said casually, "I quite like cooking."
"Oh." Irene said oh, and continued to watch TV honestly. But after Yusheng started eating, she leaned her head and glanced at the dining table again. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help but say, "Just that."
You eat while I watch?"
Yu Sheng raised his eyelids, stretched out his chopsticks and waved them in front of Irene's picture frame: "Would you like to take a bite?"
Erin stared, but then lowered her head and began to sulk at herself.
"...Okay, okay, just a formality." Yu Sheng felt helpless when he saw the other person's appearance. He sighed and took another empty bowl from the kitchen. He took some food from his own bowl and put it in.
In front of Irene's picture frame, "I've left the dishes and chopsticks for you - just smell it, I'll eat it in the end anyway."
Erin frowned and looked at the rice bowl in front of the picture frame. After thinking about it, she thought it was okay, so she jumped down from the chair and moved to the edge of the picture frame. A face occupied almost half of the picture frame. She looked at it carefully.
Zhu Yusheng: "Okay, that's fine - thank you, you are quite considerate of others..."
Yu Sheng lowered his head to take a mouthful of rice and responded vaguely. Then he looked up and saw Irene, whose face was only exposed in the picture frame. Then his eyes were on the rice bowl in front of the picture frame, and suddenly he felt as if there was something there.
Something is wrong...
Irene didn't notice anything was wrong at all, but she was a little surprised that Sheng was suddenly in a daze: "Why are you stunned?"
Yu Sheng quickly lowered his head and took two more mouthfuls of rice, then looked up at Irene——
The dark picture frame, the dark background, the head of the doll girl, and a bowl of food in front of the portrait.
The whole voice is still there, and the smile is still there.jpg.
The muscles on his face suddenly twitched twice, but after holding it in for a long time, he still didn't dare to say what he was thinking about - not because of anything else, but mainly because Irene's swearing was unpleasant.
At this point, he could only cook. He could only pretend that nothing happened, and ate hard under Eileen's doubtful eyes, trying not to look at the person with a beautiful voice across the table...
A meal is like a meal at a mourning hall.
After finally finishing the meal, Yu Sheng wiped his mouth, quickly removed all the cups and dishes in front of Irene's picture frame, threw them into the kitchen sink, and prepared to soak them until he got up early tomorrow before washing them - mainly his waist.
It still hurts a lot, and bending down in front of the sink to wash dishes is a bit burdensome for him now.
But the dishes don't have to be washed, and the garbage must be thrown out. The garbage bags in the kitchen cannot be left at home overnight in this season. He endured the pain in his back and packed up the garbage, then walked out the door with the bag in hand.
Erin, who was watching TV, looked up and asked curiously: "Hey, where are you going so late?"
"Do I have to report to you when I'm at home?" Yu Sheng replied angrily to the overly familiar figure in the painting, but he still raised the garbage bag in his hand to show him, "I'll throw it out when I go out."
A piece of trash.”
"Oh, then you come back early," Eileen's eyes have fallen on the TV again, "I'm scared to be alone in such a big house, what if a thief comes in..."
Yu Sheng rolled his eyes and thought to himself that in such a gloomy big house, if someone came in and saw a ghost-like figure wandering around in the painting for the first time, the person in the painting would definitely not be the first person to be frightened to death.
Well, in Eileen's condition, if a thief comes in, he has to call the police first...
But I didn't have the nerve to say this in front of Irene.
Yu Sheng shook his head, cursed and came to the door. He put on his shoes before going out and reached out to hold the door handle.
He exerted slight force in his hands, turned and pushed it away.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled that ordinary morning two months ago, as if it were every ordinary day in his ordinary life.
At that time, just like now, he opened the door of his home, walked outside, and walked into a huge and strange city that was suffocating. He has not been able to go back until now——
Weird associations flashed through his mind. Yu Sheng laughed at himself, shook his head, and pushed the door open.
The crisp sound of dead branches being trampled down broke the silence in the valley. The cold night wind carried some kind of disturbing rotten and fishy smell. The coldness in the air made Yu Sheng, who went out wearing only single clothes, subconsciously tremble.
He shuddered, and then it took him several seconds to restart his brain that had just stopped running.
He saw himself standing among a piece of desolate and crumbling gravel. The night in the distance seemed to be an eerie dense forest, and the mountains on both sides stood in the night sky, like silent and ferocious giants.
Both sides overlook the valley bottom, bringing an unbearable sense of heavy oppression.
Yu Sheng's whole body was frozen in the cold night, and then he slowly turned back and looked at the place where he came from.
A piece of collapsed bricks and tiles came into view. It looked like a ruined temple that had been abandoned and collapsed a hundred years ago.
Half of the door panel stood alone in the ruins. The night wind blew, and hollow whimpering came from the gap between the broken door panel and the rubble.
Yu Sheng stared: "What are you doing for me..."
He finally came to understand.
As he "opened the door", what happened two months ago happened again.
He was thrown into a strange place again.
And this is worse than two months ago - although that huge and weird "boundary city" is very different from the "boundary city" where I was born and raised, at least it is still a modern city where people can survive.
, but this time the situation is not good.
He was thrown into a wilderness.
There are wild forests in front, dangerous mountains on the left and right, and behind him there is only a ruined temple that has collapsed for an unknown number of years - Yu Sheng took one look and felt that this place had not been refreshed for thirty or fifty bandits or a few wolf demons and fox fairies.
Topography...
And the only thing he had in his hand was a bag of kitchen garbage that he just took out from home...
Yu Sheng thought for a while and cursed in his heart.
And in the next second, when the fragrant and elegant words in Yu Sheng's heart were pouring out, an unexpected voice suddenly came from his mind -
Chapter completed!
