The Sabbath

Now that we are family members, let's add another piece of furniture~

↑

By Ronggui's strange brain circuit.

So when Xiaomei was studying the stone on the ground, he also studied it super seriously. Those who didn’t know thought he also saw some tricks~

pity--

He was just studying the shape and color of the stone.

He wanted a small table where he could place his head, so that Xiaomei wouldn't have to waste the backpack to put his head on. Although it would be nice to put his head in the backpack because he was afraid of the dirt on the floor, it still felt a bit wasteful.

So just get a small stone platform~ There are just so many stones here.

My hair is yellow and my hat is red, which is already very fancy. It stands to reason that it would be better to use a low-key color for the table where the head is placed, such as black, but... the metal used for his face is also quite black...

Ronggui finally chose a whitish stone, and then he called Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, Xiaomei, shall we take that white stone back?"

Xiaomei: Could it be that he saw that the stone might be the marginal mine of Kuroda Stone?

Without saying a word, Xiaomei silently looked at Ronggui.

Then--

Ronggui seems to be born to overthrow Xiaomei's various speculations:

"Xiaomei, how about using that white stone to make me a platform to put my head on? White, a classic and versatile color, whether it matches my yellow hair, red hat or black face... any color will not conflict~"

I knew I was thinking too much——by Xiaomei.

So, when Xiaomei went out with that stone, the reason she explained to the administrator was Ronggui's reason.

Of course, Ronggui also took care of the explanation. He carefully explained the reason why he wanted this stone. There are too few and only one is a bit regretful...

"There is only one music channel, and it occasionally plays some sad songs. If it wasn't for Xiaomei, I always felt like I was going to suffer from depression..." Finally, Ronggui said sadly.

The administrator said "huh".

"Don't worry, you won't get depression if anyone gets it," he said finally.

Ronggui: Is this a compliment?I always feel that there is something wrong... Is it an illusion?

From the beginning to the end, Xiaomei only said one sentence, to be precise, she asked a question: "Is there a market here? You can buy ore."

In fact, the answer to this question is almost [-]% yes.

Long before entering the city, it can be guessed from the inquiry of the staff at the lighthouse.There are a total of three cities that can go there, and this is the entrance that requires the lowest points. For those who do not have points, this is the only choice, but for many people, this must be only one-half, one-third Even more small options of base fractions.

And what are those people doing here?

Coming here to purchase ore sounds like the most reliable and direct guess.

After all, there are only ores here besides people, and those who don't have enough points can't take them away, and it's useless to take them away, so what they call can only be ores.

In the parking lot, he did see some people who didn't look like they came here to work.

"Of course, Oni City is most famous for its ores!" Sure enough, the tall administrator gave an affirmative answer.

"Can you tell me where it is?" Then, Xiaomei took the opportunity to ask her real question.

Of course, you will know if you ask outside, but the risk of asking someone who is also a miner is too high. It is good if the other party does not know or does not answer.

The man just glanced at Xiaomei, took out a piece of paper and drew a few strokes on it after a while: "The only thing you can go now is here."

"Thank you, Rhodes!" Instead of Xiaomei, Ronggui immediately thanked her.

"You're welcome, Agui." The tall administrator called "Rod" waved casually.

It was only then that Xiaomei realized that the two had even exchanged names for some unknown reason.

"Thank you." Quickly glanced at the note, remembering all the graphics on it, Xiaomei returned the note to Rhodes.

Then, he also expressed his thanks.

"Remember to go to work on time tomorrow, just for today." Waved to the two, Rhodes said to them.

"Yes, yes." Ronggui was still the only one who answered him. After Ronggui said goodbye to Rhodes, Xiaomei also started to walk forward.

There was a mine truck nearby. After picking up Xiaomei and waiting for two miners, the car started. The traffic order was kept by the driver. When they were put down, the driver explained: "There is a train every hour on the hour .”

He didn't talk about the consequences, but the consequences are anyone's guess: only if the driver has a pass order, he can't get on the car or even enter the mine pit, and the job will naturally be ruined.

The consequences are severe, and no miner will be late easily.

The door opened, and the miners got out of the car one after another.

Xiaomei and Agui still chose to get off last - Xiaomei was too small, and she always felt very fragile in the crowd.

Only then did they realize that there was a large parking lot outside, where many miners parked their cars. Ronggui asked Xiaomei to inquire, and found that there was no parking fee for eight and a half hours, obviously for The miners who live far away can easily drive to and from work, so Ronggui immediately said to Xiaomei: "We will also ride Rhubarb here tomorrow."

Xiaomei didn't object.

It will be tomorrow to drive rhubarb. Today they still don’t have a car, and the next road will have to be walked entirely by legs.

The No. [-] mine they were planning to go to was relatively close to where they lived, and it wasn't too far to walk there. However, the No. [-] mine was a little far away.

Fortunately, Pit No. [-] is not too far from the market on Rhodes' map.

After walking for two hours, they finally arrived at the market.

On the way, Ronggui also told Xiaomei about his worries: he was worried that the market would be closed if they went late, after all, Rhodes didn't mention the opening time of the market, but Ronggui didn't expect it at that time and didn't ask.

However, the moment he arrived, Ronggui immediately stopped worrying: the place is brightly lit, crowded with people, lively!

But Ronggui soon had another worry: Will there be thieves if there are so many people?

So before Xiaomei raised her leg and stepped into the sea of ​​people, he decisively called Xiaomei to stop, asked Xiaomei to find a place as concealed as possible, and then stuffed his head under the miner's uniform.

"My head is the most valuable thing on your body! Xiaomei, you must take good care of it! I observed it, and it is safest under the belt of the miner's uniform. Just put me here."

Xiaomei: ...

Then he resolutely lifted Ronggui's head up, and then put his pocket in the place that Ronggui had hoped for.

This...does this mean that the ore is more valuable than his head...or does Xiaomei think that the safest place is the chest and not the waist?

Ronggui thought about it and decided to choose the second one.

However, the advantage of hiding it on the chest is that you can untie a button and look out. If it is on the waist, it will not work. You can’t let Xiaomei not fasten the zipper, right?

Rong Gui, who showed one eye, became happy again.

Xiaomei, who felt that it was rare for Ronggui to have a good idea, was also in a pretty good mood.

then……

Neither of the two people realized the current image problems of the two people:

With a thick fanny pack around her waist, Ronggui's big head stuffed in front of her chest, Xiaomei, who is wrapped in a standard miner's uniform, no longer looks like the petite and weak Xiaomei before. He now looks like a short man with big arms and round waist Brawny!Uh... with a bulging chest, she is still a female man!

Although he is short in stature, he is quite powerful.

It actually looks a bit like the legendary dwarves who are particularly good at mining.

Ronggui, who pays attention to appearance, didn't notice this point.

Xiaomei, who never cared about it, didn't even notice it.

So much so that when Xiaomei re-entered the market and found that there was an open space around for the first time, and everyone kept a certain distance from him, Ronggui was amazed.

"Does this mean that we are dirty? They are not very clean!"

Xiaomei...Although Xiaomei didn't nod her head, she actually agreed with Ronggui's statement in her heart.

Because he really couldn't think of any other reason.

"However, Xiaomei, what are you doing at the market? Do you want to buy ore? Or buy ready-made materials to make me a body?" Ronggui's voice sounded in Xiaomei's head—in order not to attract attention, the two of them once again adopted a brain Incoming call mode.

"It's not buying ore, nor is it buying ready-made materials. The minerals in Oni City are currently known to be Germanium, Kuroda Stone, and Sand Ni. All three are building materials, and none of them can be used to make mechanical bodies. .” Xiaomei’s voice was still flat and indifferent.

Then Ronggui was surprised:

"No...then why are you here?"

"Come and observe. The ores sold here must be the ores that have been mined and identified. You can study and learn. In addition, you can infer the types of minerals in Erni City by looking at the types of ores on the booth."

"Oh oh oh!" After hearing Xiaomei's words, Ronggui was even more impressed.

This is the difference between a scumbag and a top student, right?

Not to mention studying together, he couldn't even guess Xiaomei's purpose for coming here!

There is no way to make progress together!

However, this does not prevent them from living together, because:

He and Xiaomei are now a family~

With little flowers in his heart, Ronggui then remained silent.

He also knew that he was nagging a little bit, but most of the nagging was just because he didn't want the surroundings to be too quiet, and he was afraid that Xiaomei would be lonely. Now that there are so many people here and it's so lively, he can finally be the leader of a quiet and handsome man again~

So for the next time, Ronggui kept silent on the surface, but tried to look out through the small opening on Xiaomei's chest, while Xiaomei walked over from stall to stall, earnestly learning about the real raw ore. feature.

The people around the stall all backed away when they saw Xiaomei. Who didn't know that the dwarf has a bad temper and is especially good at fighting!

Especially female dwarves!

Due to the serious gender ratio, female dwarves are extremely rare in the clan, and therefore they are very precious. A female dwarf has at least twenty suitors. What does this mean?This means that if you provoke a male dwarf, at most this male dwarf will come and beat you up. If you provoke a female dwarf, at least twenty male dwarves will come and beat you up. By the way, that does not include The female dwarf, her father, her brother, her brother, her neighbor...

Don't mess with it!

People with common sense around all silently avoided Xiaomei, and the stall owner was also very enthusiastic. No matter how Xiaomei looked at her, she didn't chase her away. It's okay to offer more good ores for him to see. In the end, when Xiaomei didn't buy anything, the stall owner still felt that the other party's vision was too high and his goods were too bad.

He even waved goodbye.

"It's really hard to do business here. We don't buy anything, yet we are still so enthusiastic." Looking all the way, Ronggui only came to this conclusion.

Once again, Xiaomei nodded in her heart in acquiescence.

The author has something to say: he wants a small table where he can place his head, so that Xiaomei doesn’t have to waste a backpack to put his head on. I feel a bit wasted.

↑

The above is Ronggui's thoughts, but what is Xiaomei's thoughts?

Let's interview Xiaomei randomly.

Xiaomei: Actually, I wanted to put the pannier down, but there was wind in the mine, and worried that the pannier would be blown away by the wind, so I used Ronggui's head to press it down. Although his wisdom is low, the material is still heavy anyway.

that's all.

So Agui, you don't have to worry about feeling wasteful, Xiaomei just makes the best use of everything.
