"Aunt, what floor is that Uncle Hong's house on?" Cheng Yun followed Granny Chen, carefully helping to illuminate his feet with the light of his mobile phone.
"It's right here."
Because the first floor of this residential building is an old shop, the second floor is a residential apartment. Although there is a rotten smell around, the sensor lights in the corridor are still sensitive. Just as the group walked to the second floor, the sensor lights in the corridor turned on dimly.
At this moment, Granny Chen was pointing at a dilapidated wooden door in front of her.
Under the dim light, Su Zimo saw the poor corridor of the old residential area. The walls on both sides were mottled, and the corners seemed to be seeping water, making the corridor road a little damp, not to mention the old people who lived here. Even the young and able-bodied can fall in damp hallways.
Perhaps with this in mind, the corridors are littered with torn apart cardboard boxes, which have long been soaked with excessive humidity, and the rotten smell in the air also contributes, so it doesn't seem to play a role. Too much protection.
To be honest... Such an environment didn't surprise Su Zimo much.
What surprised Su Zimo was... There was no accident since the Lin siblings went up the stairs.
Dark corridors, wet and slippery ground.
Aren't these the most accident-prone conditions? After all, from the very beginning to the present, the Lin brothers and sisters had the unfortunate constitution that they might fall down when they walked on the flat ground, but in the end they followed them for such a long distance intact
Su Zimo knew that he was thinking too much, but he just felt that there was something waiting for the arrival of the Lin family.
When Chen Po was walking in the slippery corridor, she habitually supported the wall carefully, and even used both hands. It's no wonder that when Su Zimo saw Madam Chen coming down the corridor, she just put the woven bag that was very important to her on the side of the corridor.
"This is the old Hong's house." Granny Chen took a step cautiously, walked to the dilapidated wooden door on the opposite side, and said with some doubts, "He really went back to the country? I didn't hear that he still has What relatives?"
Su Zimo glanced at the sisters and brothers of the Lin family who were following behind. They looked very cold. They were clearly wearing leather jackets, but they tightly wrapped their arms around themselves.
"Knock on the door and have a look, if anyone will answer the door." Cheng Yun said so, and knocked on the wooden door a few times, making a bang, "Uncle Hong! Uncle Hong! Are you at home?!"
"Uncle Hong! Uncle Hong!"
Cheng Yun stood at the door of the uncle Hong and shouted several times, but there was no response from the door. As a practitioner who has been strengthened many times, even if there is only the sound of tables and chairs moving, Cheng Yun can still catch it.
But there was no sign of any living creatures in the door at the moment, and it was terribly quiet.
There should be no one, right
Cheng Yun just looked at the door in front of him. It was just a very, very old and thin wooden door. When he knocked on the door just now, he could see the wooden door shaking gently.
It seemed that a single hard knock would knock the door open.
But this still makes Cheng Yun feel a little immoral.
"Big brother, big sister, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Su Zimo turned his head, he saw Lin Hao and Lin Ren standing against the wall with pale faces, and their legs were still shaking slightly.
"Cough, it's okay." Lin Hao immediately shook his head, "We... we slipped accidentally just now, but we managed to hold on to the wall."
It's just that in Su Zimo's view, their legs seemed to be trembling because of their nervousness, and they couldn't stand still.
"Let's go to my mother-in-law's house to have something to eat first?" Granny Chen had already greeted him at the top of the stairs. "It seems that Lao Hong is really not at home. He may have really found a relative in the countryside."
"Yes, yes!" Lin Hao and Lin Ren immediately nodded in agreement.
"Hao Aren, didn't you say that you want to eat the first-class pastries from Nanfengzhai? My mother-in-law has already prepared it, and I will wait for you to come." Granny Chen smiled and said casually, "You two little mice, no Delicious food can't be attracted."
"Grandma, is that pastry delicious?" Su Zimo raised his head and asked.
"That's the most expensive pastry here. Grandma is willing to buy a plastic bottle once a month." Grandma Chen also seemed to be describing some rare food.
"It's not that if Ah Ren and Ah Hao often come to chat with me, Grandma will be happy even if she spends money!" Grandma Chen smiled, "That old man, Lao Hong, spoils their siblings more than I do!"
"So, every time Hao and Aren come to see you, do you prepare expensive cakes?" Cheng Yun asked strangely.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive!" Granny Chen immediately changed her words, she seemed very happy because someone was with her, and she walked with everyone to the third floor and opened the door of her house, "It's mainly delicious, Aren and Aren. It’s good to be so concerned about us, you must be ready to eat.”
