Chapter 068 The Gradually Weird Diary
Gu Yi lay on the bed with his eyes closed, trying to breathe evenly.
"Gu Yi? Gu Yi?"
The mother called out a few times and then left the bedroom.
Gu Yi finally felt relieved after his mother left. He lay motionless in bed, afraid that his parents would find out that he was not asleep.
There was the sound of a door opening outside.
At this time, the cat bride making some deal with their parents.
What kind of deal is this that must be done at night when the children are asleep?
Is the mutton that parents refer to really mutton?
Gu Yi closed his eyes and waited for half an hour before he heard the sound of the cat bride and the mouse groom leaving, and his parents finally came upstairs.
Gu Yi's mind was in a mess and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
…
The next morning.
When Gu Yi woke up from his sleep, the first thing he did was to open his phone to check the text messages.
Sure enough, the anonymous user sent him another text message.
[May 13, 2021, sunny.]
[The clown never came to see me again. I think my brother must have chased him away.]
【Last night at midnight, I heard my parents talking to a stranger. I couldn’t understand anything they said.】
[My mother gave me some special training, the meaning of which I did not understand at all.]
[She made me soak in hot water until my skin turned red, and then she made me jump into an ice bucket. She said this would strengthen my willpower.]
[I really can't stand this kind of stimulation. It makes my head hurt so much. ]
[Brother, it would be great if you were here. ]
Gu Yi frowned.
Making people soak in hot water and then jump into an ice bucket, this is torture and abuse no matter how you look at it, right?
Wouldn’t you get sick if you do this?
The mother even calls it exercising willpower?
This further proves what my grandmother said: "Your parents are no longer your parents."
"Where's my diary?"
Gu Yi took out the diary from his backpack, and the entry for May 13 had been unlocked.
[May 13, 2021, sunny.]
【My parents have become more and more strange recently. 】
[Last night, when I passed by my mother's bedroom, I found her crying blood in front of the mirror. She scratched her face with her nails, leaving deep bloody marks, and the blood spurted out, staining her dressing table red.]
[Dad saw me standing at the door and rushed over to pull me aside.]
[I said there was something wrong with my mother, but my father insisted that she was in great shape. I was terrified, and after a while, my mother came out of the room without any injuries on her face.]
[Tonight, my parents cooked braised lamb. It has been three or four years since I last ate lamb.]
[The mutton had a strange taste. I thought it might have gone bad, but my parents still ate it with gusto.]
【What happened to them? 】
Gu Yi repeatedly compared the two diaries and fell into deep thought.
Whether it is my sister’s diary or my diary, my parents’ behavior became strange starting from May 13th.
In my sister's diary, although my parents' behavior was strange, at least it was still realistic.
In my diary, my mother has turned into a weird being. Does this mean that I have entered the other world since a year ago?
However, I don’t see any danger from these two diaries for the time being. Today is the weekend and I can use this time to go out and explore.
Gu Yi left the bedroom and had breakfast with his family.
The mother held the dishes and looked at her children calmly.
"What plans do you have for today?"
My sister raised her head and said, "I'm going to play at my classmate's house today."
"Have you finished your homework?"
"I've finished writing."
The mother nodded and looked at Gu Yi, "What about you?"
"I'm going to have a reunion with my classmates."
"Party? Forget it, you should just stay at home and study for your lessons. The college entrance exam is almost here."
Gu Yi cursed in his heart, but he didn't expect his father to suddenly speak.
"My son will become stupid if he studies too much every day. It's okay if he relaxes for a day. Don't be so strict."
The mother frowned and thought for a while, "So where are you going to the party today?"
"It's right in town, not far away."
"Well, that's good. Don't leave the town, okay?"
"knew."
Gu Yi quickly finished his breakfast, put on his bag and ran out of the house.
【4 days 23 hours 18 minutes】
I don't have to go to class today and my parents haven't assigned me any extra tasks. I have complete freedom to do as I please in the 24 hours today.
At this time, the town's time flow finally synchronized with the countdown.
However, the townspeople still stared with dead eyes. If they were too far away from me, they would turn into pixels.
Gu Yi walked to the house next door and knocked on the door of his deskmate Chen Dong.
After some negotiations, Gu Yi successfully borrowed a bicycle.
Gu Yi rode his bike around the town.
The town doesn't cover a large area, and it only takes about two hours to walk around the periphery.
So far, the only places Gu Yi has explored are high schools, elementary schools, and health centers.
There was nothing worth exploring in high school and elementary school.
The clinic is a special place, just like the old house. In some cases, the clinic can even be directly connected to the surface world.
Gu Yi felt that if there was only one exit in the town, it would either be the health center or the old house at home.
So Gu Yi rode his bike to the clinic.
Gu Yi suddenly remembered something.
My mother has been taking cancer treatment medicine. Could it be that she got it prescribed by this clinic?
Gu Yi walked to the pharmacy of the health center.
This is a small town and almost everyone in the town knows each other. When Gu Yi appeared, the doctor in the pharmacy immediately recognized him.
"Hey? Aren't you the boss of the Gu family?"
Gu Yi glanced at the doctor's name tag and said with a smile, "Hello, Doctor Li."
"Why are you at the clinic? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm just here to get some medicine for my mother."
"Your mother just came to get medicine last week, why does she need it again?"
"Oh, really?" Gu Yi smiled innocently, "Maybe mom remembered it wrongly. She seems to be a little off recently."
"It's okay. As long as your mother takes good care of herself, the condition can be controlled. She's still young and will recover quickly."
"My mother...when did she get sick?"
"you do not know?"
"They refused to tell me until a few days ago when they couldn't hide it from me anymore, so she told me."
"Parents are so pitiful... They must be worried that it will affect your college entrance examination, right?" Doctor Li sighed, "Actually, I'm not sure when she got sick, maybe last year?"
"May?"
"Hmm... seems to be earlier?"
“Can you give me a specific date?”
"How can I give you a specific date?"
"Don't you have prescription records or medical records here? Can't you help me check them?"
