Xiao Huang was feeling quite pleased with himself, but reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Would you expect a child with unusual values to go from being at the bottom of the class to achieving great success in just a few days?
The day the results came out, Xiao Huang was too busy hiding to dare let his young mother buy canned herring.
Unable to buy canned herring in real life, Xiao Huang didn't give up. He started making this strong-flavored food himself, following the example of Qu Yinli's short videos.
Whether the "delicious" creations are truly delicious or just culinary disasters remains to be seen.
Even most adults might not succeed, let alone an eleven-year-old kid like Xiao Huang.
When he first brought home dead fish and rotten shrimp, he happened to run into a middle-aged man who came to "comfort" his mother.
As you can imagine, Xiao Huang got a severe beating.
Although the middle-aged man, whom I had only met a few times, did not add fuel to the fire.
But what was the meaning behind his unkind mockery from the side?
For a fleeting moment, Xiao Huang wished he could stuff this disgusting middle-aged man into a can of fermented herring!
Xiao Huang's holiday was relatively free, with fewer tutoring classes than other students, and his mother did indeed go a bit too far this time.
Xiao Huang lay in the bedroom with his butt sticking out for three days.
Of course, it's not just about lying down.
The food challenge competition on short videos is still in full swing.
Xiao Huang's still-healing wound began to flare up again.
This time, luck seemed to be on his side.
On a hot day in mid-July, after having a takeout lunch, Mom went upstairs for her usual beauty nap.
Xiao Huang then tore off the plaster from his bottom and carefully slipped out of the villa.
Along the way, Xiao Huang was afraid of being seen by others, so he walked along the corner of the wall.
As they passed a house that had been uninhabited for a long time, a strange smell wafted into Xiao Huang's nostrils.
"Could this be the taste of canned herring?"
Xiao Huang stopped in front of the villa and sniffed carefully. Sure enough, it smelled like dead fish and rotten shrimp, and even stronger!
"Isn't this place uninhabited? Who's eating canned herring in there?"
"Could it be some daring streamer?"
Driven by curiosity, Xiao Huang skillfully scaled the wall and entered the villa.
On the door frame at the end of the wall, it seems to be marked "Lakeside Moonlight Building 45"!
Although Xiao Huang is only 11 years old, he has inherited his mother's excellent genes and is already nearly 1.7 meters tall.
Climbing over a small wall is naturally not a difficult task.
He had done the same thing a thousand times in his own backyard.
Once inside the yard, Xiao Huang followed the scent that resembled canned herring and searched for it.
Unfortunately, the villa's doors and windows were locked, and the smell was actually coming from the bathroom's ventilation fan.
How do we get in?
While Xiao Huang was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get in and find out what was going on, his unusual behavior was noticed by the security guard on patrol.
That's right, the responsible security guard is none other than Xiao Cheng, the person who reported Zhang Qiqi's case.
"Little Huangzi, what are you doing?"
Xiao Huang has lived by the lake since he was born, so Xiao Cheng naturally knows him.
Similarly, Xiao Huang also knew Uncle Cheng, who was the same height as him.
When Xiao Cheng discovered him, Xiao Huang didn't panic. Instead, he carefully ran to the fence and whispered to Xiao Cheng outside.
"Uncle Cheng, this family is eating canned herring!"
"Nonsense! This family hasn't been back for over six months, and I heard they're behind on their water and electricity bills! You better get out here right now, or I'll tell your mother!"
Indeed, the owners of Building 45 have not shown up since they paid six months' worth of fees more than six months ago.
It's mid-July now, and Building 45 has been without power for at least half a month!
Seeing that Xiao Cheng didn't believe him, Xiao Huang continued to explain:
"Uncle Cheng, I'm not kidding you! You can smell it, isn't it canned herring? The one that's been all over the internet lately!"
"Canned herring?"
As a young man, Xiao Cheng's daily life is naturally inseparable from music. Although he has never tasted it, he can roughly guess what the canned food tastes like.
Hearing what Xiao Huang said, he also sniffed curiously.
The stench made Xiao Cheng's pupils dilate rapidly, and a bad thought quickly rose in his mind.
"Damn it! No way, not again!"
"This isn't canned herring, this is clearly..."
Xiao Cheng originally planned to call Luo Yufei from the property management office to open the door and check what was going on.
But thinking about the recent case of the mistress's death in the building across the street, Xiao Cheng's heart sank. She decided to report the case to the police first.
After what happened last time, Xiao Cheng kept Li Nan's phone number. Since it was going to be a police call anyway, it would be better to go directly to the leader for a better solution.
"Hi Cheng, what can I do for you?"
