Behind him followed a person who looked almost identical to him and appeared to be around forty years old.
twin?
Zuo Ling immediately recognized the difference between the two. It wasn't that she had sharp eyes, but rather that one of them had mostly white hair, making him look about ten years older.
"Yes, is there something you need?"
"You live in building 3?"
"That's right."
"Do you know an elderly couple? The man's surname is Jin, and he teaches at a university of science and technology. The woman's surname is Tang, and she works at an agricultural research institute."
Before Zuo Ling could answer, Xiao Hao rushed over, "Uncle, you mean Grandpa Jin and Grandma Tang, right? I know them, they live downstairs from us."
Zuo Ling's lips twitched. The little guy had come to regard Professor Jin and his wife as family. Look how excited he was.
"Really? Where are they now? Are they doing well?"
The two were so excited that their eyes turned red.
Xiao Hao didn't answer, but tilted his head and said, "I guess you must be Uncle Jin Yan and Uncle Jin Yu."
He looked confident, his little face full of pride.
Wiping away their tears, the two grabbed Xiao Hao's arm, one on each side, and said in tearful voices:
"Little brother, it's us, it's us, I'm Jin Yan."
"I am Jin Yu."
"Haha, I guessed it. Grandma Tang showed me the photos. You've all changed so much. I didn't recognize you yesterday."
Xiao Hao's voice was full of joy.
“Grandpa Jin and Grandma Tang miss you very much. Grandpa Jin sighs whenever he thinks of you, and Grandma Tang wipes away tears when she looks at your photos. I saw it all.”
Jin Yan and Jin Yu cried even harder.
Zuo Ling: "..."
Does this knife have any power to speak?
"Little brother, when was the last time you saw them?"
Xiao Hao frowned and thought for a moment, "More than a year ago, at the military base, Grandpa Jin's house was next to mine, and Grandpa Jin even taught me to read."
Jin Yan and Jin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Just over a year ago, the two elders were still at the military base. That's good, that's good.
Remembering something, Xiao Hao ran back to his room, then ran back like the wind, phone in hand.
"I have a group photo, I'll show it to you."
The cell phone was given to him by Zuo Ling for leisure and entertainment.
"This is Grandpa Jin and Grandma Tang's house. This is my house. I didn't lie to you, did I..."
Zuo Ling deeply felt that Xiao Hao's joy came from the bottom of his heart.
His world was too small; he only knew a few people. Suddenly, he met his son, whom he considered family, and his childlike nature was instantly unleashed.
Jin Yan and Jin Yu were crying their eyes out in front of their phones.
"Uncle, don't cry. Grandpa Jin and Grandma Tang would be overjoyed to know you're still alive."
"Little brother, what happened at the military base? How did you get here?"
Jin Yan was so engrossed in his joy that he didn't realize he had asked a very crucial question.
For him, all he wanted to know was whether something had happened in the military and whether his parents, who were there, were affected.
Xiao Hao paused, his smile fading considerably, and he subconsciously looked at Zuo Ling.
Zuo Ling also wanted to know how Xiao Hao would answer.
"That day... there was a sandstorm, the base was flooded, we encountered bad guys, and got separated from the army."
He Xiao's eyes flickered. He was certain that one of Pei Nansheng and his sister was a superhuman; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Ning Xiaoqi and Ning Dage.
But he wasn't sure who it was.
Xiao Hao's momentary panic did not escape his eyes; Xiao Hao was lying!
How could such a large army just scatter like that? The lie sounds like a joke.
Why did Xiao Hao lie? What was he trying to hide?
He looked at the photos on Xiao Hao's phone. The fact that they could have such a courtyard at the military base showed that Zuo Ling's family was highly valued.
If that's the case, why do they insist on leaving the army?
With frequent natural disasters, everyone knows that receiving protection from the military can greatly increase one's chances of survival.
Military bases aren't open to just anyone; people desperately want to get in, but they can't.
Zuo Ling's family, however, wants to leave the army...
Also, where did they hide the car? What about the dog and the long-eared rabbit? How did they get to Kangaroo Country?
It doesn't stand up to scrutiny; there are suspicious points everywhere.
He Xiao speculated about Zuo Ling's family, and Zuo Ling also began to guess his identity.
The doomsday theorist, that guy who built the safe house but ran off to America before the apocalyptic disaster—what a traitor!
Hahaha! It was him!
She asked Aunt Lin for a bowl of noodle soup and gulped it down; otherwise, she would have burst out laughing.
Jin Yan and Jin Yu were still questioning Xiao Hao, and Xiao Hao's answers were noticeably more cautious.
Finally, after answering hastily, he rushed to Zuo Ling's side.
They would also order a bowl of noodle soup, pretending to be extremely hungry and eagerly putting it into their mouths.
Zuo Ling glanced at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Hao, ignoring his sister's expression, swallowed a bowl of noodle soup without any appetite.
Aunt Lin gave the two siblings a white flour pancake each, saying, "You can have more if you're not satisfied."
Normally, everyone has a fixed amount of food; there is no extra food.
However, the current situation is special, and everyone can get a larger share.
Zuo Ling didn't add any more. After washing the dishes, she took her own pancakes and went back to her room.
Xiao Hao followed closely behind, his expression clearly flustered: "Sister, have I caused trouble for the family?"
Zuo Ling made a shushing gesture at him, "No, you answered very well."
Just as Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Ling said again:
"The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. You never know which words might be a trap, so try to say as little as possible."
Xiao Hao's face fell; he had said something wrong again.
Ruffle Xiao Hao's hair, Zuo Ling continued, "It's not Xiao Hao's fault. Our family has too many secrets, and it's inevitable that there will be oversights. There's nothing we can do about it."
