Since coming to this world ten years ago, Zhou Li has not encountered any supernatural incidents, and the society is very stable.
So after seeing the blood moon yesterday, I subconsciously thought it was just an uncommon astronomical phenomenon.
But today the system appears, and it is not an entertainment system yet...
The world seems to be in trouble.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang, and a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the house: "Brother Zhou, your express delivery has arrived."
The middle-aged courier was waiting at the door with a big box in his arms. A pretty little girl stood next to him, looking at him with eyes full of reluctance.
"So fast?" Although he hesitated a little, Zhou Li still opened the door.
Zhou Li was slightly startled when he opened the door and saw the appearance of the courier.
Then he quickly said: "Uncle Li, it turns out you sent it, no wonder it was so fast. I'm really sorry for bothering you. Come inside and have a drink of water."
"Brother Zhou Li, look here! Look here!" A little boy jumped and waved to Zhou Li.
Only then did Zhou Li realize that there was a little one there, so he knelt down and touched her little head:
"Yiyi, why are you here on such a hot day? There are still a few of your favorite big apples in the refrigerator. Come in quickly."
Several people entered the house, Zhou Li subconsciously separated the two of them, and Uncle Li's eyes became a little softer.
After returning home and opening the refrigerator, little Yiyi picked up three apples and stumbled to the kitchen.
After entering the room, Uncle Li put the box aside and said with a smile: "I saw that your express package was marked as urgent, so I sent it to you directly without waiting for pickup."
After hearing this, Zhou Li felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm causing trouble to you. Uncle Li, what's wrong with you bringing Yiyi here?"
At this time, Yiyi struggled to carry a fruit basket towards them, which contained three washed apples.
"Brother Zhou Li has one, dad has one, and I have one." Xiao Yiyi divided the apples and put the basket back to its original place.
Uncle Li did not answer directly, but turned around and said: "Yiyi, you can watch TV in the living room first. Brother Zhou Li and I have something to discuss. Remember to be good and don't run around."
"Yeah, I know." Yiyi sat on the sofa, chewing on an apple and responded inarticulately.
After the two of them arrived in the study, before Zhou Li could speak, Uncle Li fell to his knees on the ground.
Quickly helping Uncle Li up, Zhou Li said in confusion: "Uncle Li, what are you doing? If you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you. There is no need for this!"
Uncle Li glanced at the living room with nostalgia, and then said to himself: "Brother Zhou, do you believe there are ghosts in this world? Are you willing to adopt Yiyi?"
Looking at the true appearance of the father in front of him, Zhou Li seemed to understand something and nodded to express his willingness.
When Uncle Li saw Zhou Li nodding, he said with relief: "Brother Zhou, you are a capable person. I feel relieved to leave Yiyi to you."
As he spoke, tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
After realizing that he was crying, Uncle Li quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said in a panic: "I've made you laugh, but I can't help it. I really can't help it."
Uncle Li's voice gradually became softer: "While delivering express yesterday morning, a car lost control and knocked me down. My blood flowed all over the floor."
"After the car accident, they sent me to the hospital for treatment immediately and compensated me 200,000 yuan. With this money, I could have given Yiyi a better life..."
When he said this, he slapped himself with one slap on the left and the other on the right, crying and saying:
"But I didn't hold on! I didn't hold on! When I died, I was thinking about what to do with my daughter. I'm sorry for her mother, and I'm sorry for her."
"Why can't you hold on!"
I want to persuade Uncle Li but I don’t know where to start.
The hemp rope will break at the thinnest part, and bad luck will only seek out the miserable.
After a while, Uncle Li calmed down, took out a blood-stained bank card from his pocket, handed it to Zhou Li with both hands and said:
"I will entrust Yiyi to you. Yiyi likes to eat strawberry cake. You use the money in this card to buy it for her, but you can't feed her too much. This thing is harmful to the body..."
"Yiyi is helpless in this world and has no relatives. Originally, I wanted to send her to an orphanage, but I still couldn't let go. In the end, I had no choice but to come to you."
"I can see that Yiyi really regards you as her brother."
Taking the heavy bank card, Zhou Li looked at Uncle Li who was chattering in front of him and remained silent.
From the moment he opened the door, he saw Uncle Li in his eyes as a dead soul wearing a hospital gown, with a pale complexion, black hands and feet, and eyes weeping with blood and tears.
After Uncle Li vented his emotions, he said with a wry smile:
"Actually, I died last night after resuscitation failed, but that blood moon made me regain consciousness."
"Originally, I wanted to watch my daughter grow up, get married, and find a good home. This would be great."
At this point, Uncle Li gritted his teeth and said: "But after the blood moon disappeared, I inexplicably wanted to eat Yiyi. This is my daughter, how is this possible!"
"I know that I have changed and I can no longer go back to the way I was before. Now that you are willing to take care of Yiyi, I feel relieved."
"Also, please don't go to the central hospital. There are many ghosts there." Uncle Li said with a look of horror on his face.
After explaining the funeral arrangements, Uncle Li finally felt relieved. He inserted his hands into his chest and tore it open on both sides. At the same time, he cursed angrily: "The devil wants to harm my daughter, so I will drag you to death!"
He is protecting his daughter in his own way.
As Uncle Li completely tore himself in half, his soul began to burn, and the last trace of his existence in the world disappeared.
Since then, his soul has been scattered.
Zhou Li looked at the scene in front of him and wanted to stop it but had no position.
No matter who it is, no one can stop a father's love for his daughter, not to mention that Uncle Li is already dead. This is his last bit of strength.
He opened a bottle of Erguotou and toasted a glass of wine to the place where Uncle Li disappeared. This was his favorite wine during his lifetime.
"Huh... I don't know if I should tell Yiyi about Uncle Li's matter." After exhaling the frustration in his chest, he walked towards the living room.
Looking at Yiyi curled up on the sofa and sleeping, she turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little higher.
But Zhou Li, who was careless, didn't notice that a large piece of the cushion where Yiyi was lying on was wet. In fact, she knew everything.
"System, go to the mission world." Zhou Li put all the things he bought in his backpack and said to the system.
I no longer have enough to eat alone and the whole family is not hungry. I have a younger sister who is very well-behaved and cute.
While I admire Uncle Li, I don’t want to be Uncle Li at the same time. That kind of despair should never happen to me at any time.
Zhou Li's body emitted colorful light, and everything around him fell into silence.
…
"Ugh..., vomit..." Zhou Li vomited in the public toilet for a long time, and then came out with a pale face.
Depressedly, I thought in my heart: "It turns out that traveling through the world and riding a spiral roller coaster are the same feeling."
I looked at the busy traffic and high-rise buildings around me, but I didn’t find a single landmark building.
Bad review!
On the sidewalk, Zhou Li stopped a student, looked at the school badge on his body, and then asked: "Excuse me, how to get to No. 7 Middle School?"
Going to school is the best way to understand the world. You can get a general idea by flipping through a history textbook.
The student glanced at Zhou Li, then at the school badge on his body, and said, "I happen to be going back to No. 7 Middle School. You can come with me."
Zhou Li quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much. I just arrived in this city and I don't know how to get there."
The two of them were walking side by side, and Zhou Li took the initiative to chat: "Thank you very much, little brother. My name is Zhou Li, and you?"
The student responded: "My name is Ye Dong. It's just a small thing. No need to thank me."
