Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon
Chapter 31 Rectangular Box
Zhao Hengtian followed Xu Xuerui to her home. He saw a shocking scene. The dishes on the table were in such a mess. Why didn't they clean up? He asked, "Auntie, do you need help here?"
Xu Xuerui shook her head: "No, my girl will come back for dinner after school, and these are all delicious dishes I made for her."
Xu Xuerui had already said that, so Zhao Hengtian could only give up the idea of cleaning the table. Then Zhao Hengtian went to the kitchen and asked, "Auntie, is there anything that needs to be taken out and thawed?"
Xu Xuerui said: "No, you don't have to do anything, just sit on the sofa."
Zhao Hengtian opened the refrigerator and found that all the food in it was rotten. He then remembered that there was a power outage in the community, so he closed the refrigerator door. Then Xu Xuerui pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Xu Xuerui started to busy herself in the kitchen.
While she was busy, Zhao Hengtian checked around the room. The most eye-catching things were the two boxes under the TV, wrapped in yellow talismans. He didn't know what Xu Xuerui used them for. Next to the boxes was Xu Xuerui's ID card, and the address on it said she was from Feng Xiaocun. Don't panic if anything happens, just open your phone and take a picture, and don't post it on your Moments.
After checking the living room, he went to Xu Xuerui's room to check, but nothing happened. He then went to check another room, but it was locked.
At this time, Xu Xuerui also came out. She said to Zhao Hengtian in a strange voice: "What are you looking for?"
Zhao Hengtian felt cold in his heart. He didn't expect her to come out so quickly. He smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, sorry. My bad habit is that I can't sit still. I like to move around. I have ADHD since I was a child. When I was a child, I was often criticized by teachers for this."
When Xu Xuerui heard this, she felt that this child was really pitiful. Not only did he have a strange disease, but he was also scolded by the teacher. So she said in a gentle tone: "It's okay. You are at your aunt's house. Just walk away. Don't be polite to me."
Zhao Hengtian scratched his head and said, "Thank you, Auntie. It was my fault for moving around without your permission."
"It's okay, it's okay. Auntie knows you are a good child. Come in and have some noodles!" Just like that, Xu Xuerui let down her guard.
Zhao Hengtian followed Xu Xuerui into her kitchen, where there was a lot of unopened rice and many boxes of instant noodles, so many that it was a bit scary.
The noodles cooked by Xu Xuerui had no seasoning. The noodles were just cooked casually in the pot and it was obvious that they were overcooked.
Zhao Hengtian asked: "Auntie, how do you calculate your living expenses?"
Xu Xuerui grabbed the noodles in the pot with a dazed look and said, "I don't know either. They will tell me that I have received some kind of financial support, and then they will give me the money. Then I will use it to buy rice and noodles, so that I can cook lots of meals for her."
Zhao Hengtian felt sad again. Seeing Xu Xuerui grabbing noodles with her hands, he pulled out a pair of chopsticks for her. But when he pulled them out, the cockroaches inside also came out. These chopsticks were disposable chopsticks, and no one knew how to use them. There were many stains on them.
Zhao Hengtian was startled and his chopsticks fell to the ground. The cockroaches ran around and Zhao Hengtian kicked them one by one.
Xu Xuerui followed suit and stomped on you: "I'll stomp you to death, I'll stomp you to death."
The cockroaches were all crushed to death. Xu Xuerui clapped her hands happily and said, "Great! They are all crushed to death."
Zhao Hengtian saw that Xu Xuerui was in a good mood, so he asked further
: "Auntie, why is the other room locked?"
Xu Xuerui was silent. She held her head in her hands and said, "I don't know, I don't know, why can't I remember it?"
Zhao Hengtian patted her on the back to calm her down. Xu Xuerui gently banged her head against the wall: "Let me think about it. My daughter, I have a daughter, but the room is hers and has never been locked. I don't know how it was locked, hehehe!"
She began to talk to herself again: "Daughter, look, your room is locked. It is locked."
Zhao Hengtian knew that she would go crazy if he mentioned his daughter, so he changed the question: "Auntie, what is the box on the table made of? It looks so delicate."
Xu Xuerui held the two boxes, and her expression changed 360 degrees. She laughed out loud: "This is a gift I gave to my daughter. She will definitely like the gift I gave her."
Zhao Hengtian began to feel horrified. Could this gift sent to the underworld be a good gift?
Zhao Hengtian calmed down and said, "Auntie has really skillful hands. She made such a unique gift."
Angel Zhao Heng praised his strength and responded to ever-changing situations with the unchanging approach.
Xu Xuerui was in a particularly good mood at this time: "I also think that this gift I made is very unique. My daughter will be very happy to see this gift."
Zhao Hengtian didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned on his cell phone and dialed a ringtone.
When the phone rang, he pretended to answer it and said, "Hello, Secretary Zhou, I was wrong. I'll be back soon. OK... OK."
After that, he pretended to hang up the phone, turned around and said to Xu Xuerui: "Auntie, I can't stay with you any longer. We have a meeting there, and I still have some materials to prepare. The leader scolded me, so I'm leaving first."
Xu Xuerui said distressedly, "Child, your boss is really a scoundrel. He wants you to do both outside work and inside work. Let him die! You can rest here today, have dinner, and see what he will do."
Zhao Hengtian: Sorry, unknown Secretary Zhou
Zhao Hengtian was terrified. He said, "Auntie, to be honest, my mother is sick and needs a lot of money for treatment. If I don't go to work, I won't have any money!"
Xu Xuerui took out a hundred-yuan note and slapped it twice: "Hey! Why is it so stupid? Why did it disappear so quickly? Can't it grow a little longer?"
Zhao Hengtian was also shocked when he saw this scene, and his previous fear disappeared in an instant.
Xu Xuerui handed the 100 yuan to Zhao Hengtian and said, "Kid, I only have 100 yuan left. Any help is appreciated. Take it and use it!"
Zhao Hengtian declined, "Auntie, no need."
He slowly retreated to the door, Xu Xuerui stuffed the money into his pocket and closed the door.
Zhao Hengtian received the money, but he couldn't take it away because it was a scam, so he had to put the money under the carpet.
"Auntie, I'm leaving now. Thank you for your kindness today. I will repay you in the future."
After Zhao Hengtian finished speaking, he went downstairs and left. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon. He bought a plane ticket for eight o'clock in the evening, so he still had some time to go to the rice noodle boss to investigate some more issues.
But now I have to send what I have investigated to my sister first.
Zhao Hengtian took out his cell phone and took screenshots of the pictures he had just taken. He sent the one with the ID card to Yan Lubai and then deleted it.
He walked along the same path he had taken to the rice noodle restaurant. It was sunset and there were no pedestrians on the road. The children who were playing had already gone home for dinner. Zhao Hengtian arrived at a lake. The willow trees by the lake swayed slightly in the wind, which looked a little desolate.
This reminded him of the past that had been buried deep in his heart. Just think about it! Because there were more important things to do now.
He arrived at the rice noodle shop with a heavy heart. A mother and daughter had just finished their rice noodles and were about to leave.
He ordered a bowl of beef noodles just like before. The boss was very happy to see him coming: "Young man, you are here. Please find a seat and eat some side dishes first. I will bring it to you when it is ready."
"it is good."
Zhao Hengtian paid the bill first, picked up some side dishes, and then took a glass of water to drink. He was really dying of thirst.
After a while, the boss brought him some rice noodles, sat down opposite him, and asked, "Xu Xuerui, how is she now?"
Zhao Hengtian said: "She is sometimes normal and sometimes crazy. There is a pile of leftovers on her table. The water and electricity in the building are out, and the food stored in the refrigerator is spoiled. She cooks with honeycomb coal and uses bottled water. There is rice and noodles in the kitchen. She can get by in life, but she may still be unable to get over it mentally."
The boss lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and kept repeating: "She's alive, that's good, that's good."
His eyes were unfocused, tears forming in them unconsciously. He let them fall, and then he said, "Young man, can you help her?"
Zhao Hengtian didn't know what to do about this kind of thing, but he still had one thing he wanted to ask, so he could only agree to his boss's request: "Boss, we will send someone to see her later. We will help her as much as we can in her life, and there will also be someone to chat with her like me."
The boss wiped away his tears and said, "Thank you."
Zhao Hengtian asked, "Excuse me, does Aunt Xu believe in religion?"
"Religious?" The boss was very puzzled.
Zhao Hengtian took out the photos he had prepared in advance and said, "There are two rectangular boxes on her desk. I don't know what they are used for."
The boss shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's a treasure she begged for her daughter!"
"Yes, she said she wanted to give it to her daughter."
Zhao Hengtian started eating noodles because he had to catch a flight.
The boss walked towards the kitchen with his hands behind his back: "Hey! Let's not talk about her current life. Life is short, and it will pass slowly if you endure it."
After Zhao Hengtian finished his noodles, he said to the boss: "Boss, I have paid the bill. I have something else to do and I am leaving now."
The boss waved: "Well, bye, come again next time."
"Ah."
Zhao Hengtian embarked on his journey home.
On the other side, He Feiyu caught up with Shen Xingxian. He saw Shen Xingxian's flashlight fell to the ground, and Shen Xingxian fell to the ground. He kept shaking Shen Xingxian: "Shen Xingxian, wake up, are you possessed by evil spirits? Wake up quickly."
Shen Xingxian finally woke up. He seemed to hear his phone ringing, so he took it out and looked at it. He Feiyu saw Shen Xingxian waking up: "Oh my God, you finally woke up. I thought you were dead."
The message on the phone was sent by Yan Lubai. He Feiyu also leaned over to take a look. The phone showed: This is a photo taken by Zhao Hengtian. I don’t know what Xu Xuerui is going to do. You guys should be careful. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.
Shen Xingxian and He Feiyu hugged each other, and Shen Xingxian trembled and said, "Let's go to the rooftop! Let's not chase her. I'm scared."
He Feiyu agreed: "Me too."
When they got to a brighter place, He Feiyu asked Shen Xingxian, "What happened to you just now? Why did you fall to the ground?"
Shen Xingxian also found it strange. He clearly remembered that he was still walking. He told He Feiyu about his experience of traveling into Xu Ranqing's body: "I possessed Xu Ranqing's body when she was a child. From her perspective, I saw that she was not old enough to go to school when she was a child, and her parents had to go out to work, so they locked her up at home. It was quite pitiful."
He Feiyu recalled his childhood: "Ah! The growth of migrant workers' children is indeed a problem. I was left in my hometown when I was a child. Although I was poor at that time, I had freedom to move around and could play with the neighbors' children."
Shen Xingxian: "It seems like I started attending elementary school right from birth."
He Feiyu said coldly: "You were so shocked that you forgot everything."
Shen Xingxian didn't think about it: "Maybe!"
He Feiyu actually understood Xu Ranqing's feelings very well: "There is nothing wrong with raising children to provide for one's old age. What was wrong was that she told her children about it, making the already fragile family relationship even more fragile, which led to Xu Ranqing jumping off the building and committing suicide."
Shen Xingxian also analyzed: "Because in Xu Ranqing's cognition, feelings are above interests. Once something breaks her cognition and there is no one to guide her, she will be controlled by her emotions and have thoughts of committing suicide."
He Feiyu said: "Actually, from the perspective of an outsider, I think this matter is very simple to handle. Wouldn't it be better to just buy a bucket? Why does it have to be like this?"
Shen Xingxian: "This is what we now call the generation gap. If there is no communication, the gap between parents and children will become larger and larger, and in the end it will really become a pure interest relationship. It's fine if the child accepts this kind of relationship, but if he can't accept it, he will always be trapped, which is the so-called rebellion. The same will happen when he grows up, and it may accompany him for life. However, now that the times have developed and people's spiritual world has become richer, many people can accept such a relationship."
He Feiyu said with relief: "You are right. I have accepted the relationship between me and my parents now. After I graduate and make money, my relationship with them will ease. I don't care whether they have loved me or not, because as an adult, I don't seem to need as much love. If I feel lonely, I can go for a walk on the street, buy some barbecue, or work part-time to earn money to watch a movie. It's all fine."
Shen Xingxian nodded and said, "Well, my parents are often not at home, and I also like to buy food from the barbecue stall."
He Feiyu thought about the size of the box in the photo and felt a little uneasy: "Shen Xingxian, what do you think that box is used for?"
Shen Xingxian thought it was used to hold something: "Senior, I don't know if it's what you think, but I think so too."
He Feiyu was not surprised to hear this answer: "Fuck, it feels a bit miserable."
Shen Xingxian comforted He Feiyu, "Anyway, we are not the ones who are miserable, so we don't need to worry so much."
He Feiyu asked back, "Do you think he only has two of those boxes? Could it be that she got two boxes that day?"
Shen Xingxian felt a dull pain: "No way! Senior, this is what you said. It has nothing to do with me. If I want to kill someone, I'll kill you first."
He Feiyu wanted to beat up Shen Xingxian: "Can't you stop him? He's just talking nonsense there."
Shen Xingxian straightened his hair and said, "Senior, you were the one who said that first. It has nothing to do with me."
"I won't talk to you anymore!"
"A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist."
He Feiyu asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Shen Xingxian put his hands together and explained: "My lady, if you kill my senior, you are not allowed to kill me!"
He Feiyu glared at Shen Xingxian and walked forward angrily.
