Chapter 10 Parents
“Uncle,”
Outside the flower shop with the rolling shutter door closed, a seven or eight-year-old boy carrying a schoolbag was politely asking the owner of the flower shop next door. Clerk, "Is my dad back today?"
"No, didn't your dad say he was going to Yunnan to purchase goods? It's very far there. I don't know how many days it will take." "
The clerk shook his head, "You can go home and ask your mother. ”
Mother.
Hearing this word, the little boy's expression suddenly stiffened. He politely said goodbye to the clerk, dragged his heavy steps, and strolled under the mottled shadow of the flower waterfall in the sky of the Flower and Bird Market.
His mother is not a human being.
In other words, his mother was replaced by something that was not human.
Starting about a week ago, my mother became abnormal. He no longer picks himself up from school and stays at home all the time wearing a green mask and never takes it off.
There is no cooking at home anymore. He and his four-year-old sister eat bread, milk, and cereal for three meals a day.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, he saw his mother burying her head in the refrigerator, and the sound of chewing meat came from it.
Until three days ago, my mother finally took off the green mask, showing a big smile.
In her frightened expression, she seemed to realize for the first time that when people smile, they cannot grin from the corners of their mouth to just below their ears.
Mom is back to normal.
On the outside.
She started cooking, started going out, started greeting herself and her sister, and started getting up in the middle of the night to tuck herself in bed.
But she didn’t remember her birthday, she didn’t remember that she was allergic to shrimps and crabs, and she didn’t remember the hook-up agreement between the two.
The little boy walked aimlessly with a dazed expression.
In the past three days, he tried to stay at school after school, but ended up being carried home by his mother.
When she stayed at other classmates' houses, she would also call to urge them.
One time I even ran to the police station to call the police with my sister in my arms, telling the police uncle that there was something wrong with his mother. She would come to the police station openly, show her household registration book and ID card, and tell the police her son. He is under great pressure to study and is not sensible, and then takes him away.
Beep bell bell.
The little genius' phone watch in his pocket vibrated, coming from her phone.
"Xiao An, when are you coming back? Mom made your favorite fatty barbecued pork today." A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's delicious."
lie.
I used to like eating fatty barbecued pork, but since I went back to my grandma and grandpa's house a year ago and ate the barbecued pork for a month, he has never eaten fatty meat again - real mothers know this. Ordered.
He tried to make his voice sound lively and cheerful, "My classmates and I are playing in the Children's Palace, and we will come back later."
A gentle female voice said: "Then hurry up, the sun is coming soon It’s sunset. My sister can’t wait for dinner.”
“Brother! Save——”
The call ended abruptly.
He looked at the phone blankly and shuddered.
Yes, daddy is coming back soon. If she doesn’t take action, she will have no chance.
He made up his mind, touched the knife at the bottom of his school bag, and walked towards home.

"As time flies by, I only care about you~"
As soon as I opened the door, I heard my mother humming happily in the semi-open kitchen.
There were many dishes placed on the dining room table in the living room. My sister sat at the table with a look of horror on her face. When she saw her appearance, she was so excited that she almost cried.
"Xiao An is back?"
My mother heard the sound of the door opening and shouted: "Wait a moment, there is also braised pork ribs."
"Yeah."
He sat down at the dining table with his schoolbag in his arms and slowly shook his head to signal his sister not to speak. "The green onions I bought this time are not very fresh, so I won't sprinkle them when they come out of the pot."
The sound of stir-frying in the kitchen kept going, and my mother suddenly turned her head from He leaned out from behind the glass door of the living room and asked his children with a smile: "Is that okay?"
He nodded subconsciously, and when his mother retracted his head, he suddenly realized something and felt a chill all over his body. The roots stand up.
From the open kitchen to the living room, it is almost two meters.
When my mother poked her head out of the living room just now, the sound of cooking in the kitchen was still going on! It didn’t stop at all! No change of location either!
"By the way, your father is back tonight."
Mom's voice was particularly happy, "Counting the time, it should be here soon."
The words have not yet finished. , the sound of opening the door rang.
Dad walked in wearing the same clothes he wore when he left home, smiling broadly and holding two gifts in his hand.
"Dad!"
He and his sister were about to jump off the dining table and run over, but their father was pulled into the kitchen by his mother first, "Husband, look at the ribs I made, how do you like it? Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
Dad took a bite and poked his head out from behind the glass door of the living room, in the same weird and stiff posture as mom just now. He smiled at the children and said, "Xiao An, go and serve the rice. You and your sister can eat."
"." He felt like falling into an ice cave.

The news program on the TV is broadcasting world events. Mom and Dad were eating, laughing and commenting on current events from time to time.
He lowered his head, looking at the rice that was gradually getting cold in the bowl, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "Why don't you let us leave?"
The security door of the room has been locked. , his mobile phone was also taken away, and he could not contact the outside world.
"Xiao An, what are you talking about? Aren't we a family?"
Dad smiled and patted the back of his hand. It felt cold and without warmth.
"Yes, families should be together forever." Mom agreed, reaching out to touch the faces of the two siblings.
Click!
He suddenly got up and slammed the dinner plate on his mother's head with his left hand. He took out a table knife from his schoolbag with his right hand and plunged it into the back of his father's hand.
The dining table was in a mess, and the soup seeped into the tablecloth and spread quickly.
He grabbed his sister's wrist, pulled her to jump off the stool, and rushed towards the door of the house as fast as he could in his life, while shouting: "It's on fire! Help!"
He unlocked the door, held the door handle with his palm and pressed down hard. Just before he was about to open the door and escape for his life, he was grabbed.
Mom's body sat in the original position, but her neck stretched countless times, wrapped around his and his sister's waists, and jerked them back to their original positions.
"Xiao An, you are very naughty."
Dad still kept smiling and pulled out the blade on the back of his hand without bleeding. "Children who misbehave will be punished. ."
Mom and dad both opened their mouths wide, and the corners of their mouths were split, extending all the way to their ears. Through the light, you can clearly see the layers of sharp teeth in their throats.
The bloody mouth came towards the brother and sister. The moment the mouths closed, two stones flew into the house from the window and penetrated into the heads of mom and dad.
The power of the stone was so great that the couple, who were already inhuman beings, were wrapped up in inertia, tilted their heads back, and almost fell off their chairs.
Tap.
A dark figure climbed in from the window on the tenth floor.
He was wearing black night clothes, sunglasses, a hood, and gloves. Even the shoes on his feet were wrapped in several layers of black cloth and taped on the outside. Weird shape.
The eyes of all parties faced each other. The man in black, or Li Sheng, glanced at the scene, twisted his neck, and said hoarsely: "Have you ever heard of the Lord of Insects?"
