The Sabbath

Driving along the way, Ronggui saw with great interest that the scenery along the way began to change from the unified shops.

It is still those small wooden houses, but the streets have become less tidy, mainly because the signboards have become less uniform in style, and light box-style signboards have become rare. Many shops use ordinary wooden signboards that do not emit light. I wrote about the medicines sold in the store without even a store name, and as Rhubarb continued to drive inward, more stores didn't even use signboards.

Through the skylight, Ronggui even saw clothes hanging out on the second floor of a certain shop.

Although the body of a robot cannot feel the temperature of the outside world at all, but from the water droplets that often condense on the body, we know that Sisiro City must be a humid and hot city. The most worrying thing about this kind of place is the problem of drying clothes~

As the alley gets smaller and the road becomes narrower, it is conceivable that the chances of outsiders visiting this kind of place are getting less and less. Ronggui saw the second floors of the houses on both sides of the road pulling between each other's windows. There were long ropes, some of which were empty, but there were always clothes, sheets, and so on.

This thing is a clothesline - Rong Gui immediately understood.

Ronggui raised his head, curiously guessing the local dress style from the clothes hanging outside, after a while, he passed under several flowery trousers, and almost got his head covered with dripping water from the trousers, Ronggui quickly closed it sunroof.

"It seems that this is a residential area, and it's still an old area." Backing away, Ronggui told Xiaomei next to him his observation results.

"When you first arrive in a strange city, it's best to live in an old local residential area. Generally, the people who live in this kind of place are the elderly, and the elderly are generally good-tempered."

"For example, Uncle Harun." After thinking for a while, Ronggui took the old landlord in Yedehan City as an example.

Looking up at all kinds of underwear in the air, Xiaomei didn't speak, but rolled up all the windows on Dahuang's body.

Seemingly disliked by the underwear hanging outside, Ronggui shrugged.

The drops of water from all kinds of underwear and bed sheets hit Dahuang's forehead, and then dripped from the glass. Xiaomei pressed the wiper to wipe off all the drops.

Walking all the way, brushing all the way, finally, they walked to the last alley.

According to the instructions of the beauty staff, the place where they can rent a house is at the end of this alley.

However, from the moment he entered the alley, Ronggui felt something was wrong:

This alley is really dark.

There is not even a single lamp. This kind of pure darkness can only be felt on the roads outside the city. If you enter the city, even a remote place will set up a street lamp or something. It will not be so dark at all!

However, this alley is so dark. Fortunately, they have a night imaging system, even in the dark, they can see something.

Raising his head, Ronggui "saw" the leaves and vines covering the sky of the whole alley.

It turned out that the dense and lush plants completely covered the alley.

There are fewer houses in this alley than the alleys we passed by before, and the distance between each house is also large.

"Every house has a big yard." Sitting on Dahuang, Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei.

Even though he explained it this way, he was a little scared in his heart. The concrete manifestation was that his body couldn't help moving closer to Xiaomei. The closer he got, the closer he almost passed the gap between the two seats and sat directly on Xiaomei's driver's seat. on.

Xiaomei ignored him, just quietly, looking around from time to time, her movements were slow and meticulous.As Rhubarb continued to drive deeper into the alley, his eyes finally fell on the last house at the end of the alley.

This three-story building hidden among the densest vegetation is the destination of their trip, which is the building corresponding to the address that the beauty staff copied to them.

It is also the house they are about to rent.

It looks shabby.

With the lights on, it looks like a haunted house that only appears in horror movies.

"Hehe, I guess the rent won't be very high." With a dry laugh, Rong Gui whispered again.

Then, he mustered up the courage to open the car door and jumped off Rhubarb.

Not long after he got off the car, Xiaomei also came down from the other side, feeling Xiaomei and himself standing side by side again, Ronggui's heart felt a little more at ease.

Ronggui carefully looked at this house that might become their temporary residence in the future, and found that although it was very dilapidated, it was not the kind of dilapidated one that no one lived in.

Although the branches growing from the wall are vigorous, they can be seen to have been taken care of well.

There must be someone inside.

"There are people inside." Xiaomei's calm voice rang in his ears, and his words further proved Ronggui's guess.

"Switch the visual mode and use the thermal imaging mode." Xiaomei continued.

Ronggui quickly switched the system according to what he said, so when he looked into the wall again this time, he saw a faint green figure.

Ronggui swallowed reflexively.

To be honest, this kind of "seeing" is more terrifying than not being able to see!

Before he could get used to it, Xiaomei spoke again.

"The man came out."

Xiaomei's voice was not loud, flat and indifferent, in a dark and quiet environment, there was something strange that could not be described.

Excited by Xiaomei's voice, Ronggui nervously saw that blurred green figure move from the second floor to the first floor, and then slowly move towards them, getting closer and closer.

"He's about to open the door." In the darkness, Xiaomei's voice without any emotion sounded again.

With his right hand "swiping" to grab Xiaomei's cloak, Ronggui's tension reached the extreme.

To be honest, he wasn't so nervous at all, really... Xiaomei's voice is really suitable for dubbing horror movies! ! !

Then, just when Ronggui's panic reached its peak, and he almost wanted to drag Xiaomei back to Rhubarb——

"Squeak" sound.

The door opened.

The green shadow in his eyes was replaced by a black shadow, and Ronggui saw an old woman with a wrinkled face.

With a stern face, this is a thin old man.

The corners of her mouth were drawn down into a knife edge, she was condescending, looking at them with white eyes.

etc--

White eyes?

Opening his mouth wide, Ronggui could no longer bear the fear in his heart.

With a sound of "click", he fainted from fright.

Next thing -

He doesn't know.

Xiaomei's sharp eyes quickly grabbed Ronggui who was about to fall to the ground, and lifted him up with one hand, Xiaomei looked at the old man with white eyes expressionlessly.

"He, your companion, what's wrong?" It was the old man inside the door who spoke first.

"The program is running incorrectly, shut down in an emergency." Xiaomei replied concisely.

"..." The old man was silent for a moment, and then continued: "What do you guys do?"

"Someone gave us this address, saying that we can rent a house here." Coldly, Xiaomei briefly introduced the reason for coming here.

After speaking, he also handed the note that the beauty staff had handed to him to the old man.

"Don't let me see, I have bad eyesight and can't see clearly." The old man refused coldly.

Xiaomei stuffed the note back into the cloak.

"How long do you want to rent?" After a while of silence, the old man asked again.

"Not more than three months." Xiaomei replied.

"..."

This time, the old man didn't ask any more questions, and let the door open, she let Xiaomei in, and after Xiaomei helped Ronggui in, the old man closed the door tightly again.

-

So, when Ronggui faintly "woke up" on the socket, Xiaomei had already done everything, moved all the luggage from Dahuang, and started to organize things.

When Ronggui woke up, Xiaomei was kneeling upright not far from him, laying... the bedsheets.

"Ah..." Looking at the strange roof in confusion, Rong Gui didn't wake up for a while.

As soon as Gulu sat up, he looked around blankly.

First, there are lights in the house.

Although there is not even a lampshade, there is indeed a lamp in the room. The light bulb is orange, and the room is warm and warm.

Ronggui looked at the lamp for a long time, and then he looked at the ceiling. Unlike the previous flat roof, the roof now looks like two sides of a triangle with a beam in the middle. If you look carefully, it is still made of wood. .

Looking down, Ronggui immediately saw the window, the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a faint platform outside...

"Here...where is it?" Scratching his head, Ronggui asked Xiaomei next to him.

Fortunately, Xiaomei was nearby, otherwise Ronggui would have to panic when he woke up and found himself in such a strange place.

"The inside of the courtyard wall that you just turned off." Stretching out her fingers to smooth the last uneven crease on the bed sheet, Xiaomei sat up straight and picked up the pillow from the side.

Opening his mouth wide, Ronggui looked shocked.

Climbing up to Xiaomei in a panic, Ronggui asked in a low voice, "This, is this the inside of the haunted house?"

"It's not a haunted house, it's just an ordinary house." Xiaomei spread the pillows on and started looking for pillow covers.

"We, we just live in like this?" Xiaomei's answer made Ronggui even more nervous. With a "click", he put his body on Xiaomei's back~

"The rent is right, the room is right, why don't you rent it?" Glancing at Ronggui's paw tightly hugging her arm, Xiaomei found the pillow cover, and he continued to put the pillow cover on.

↑

By the way, the pillow towel was made in Ye Dehan. Ronggui was taught how to make the pillow towel by the female dwarves. When it almost broke, Xiaomei helped to sew it successfully.

Xiaomei made three pairs of pillow covers in total.

Although, he didn't understand why the two robots needed pillow covers.

= - =

"How long have you been renting?" Ronggui asked again after being taken aback for a while.

"Three months."

Is this already a fait accompli?Thinking that he would live in such a spooky "haunted house" for three months, Ronggui was on the verge of crying!

"This house looks very dilapidated~" Unwilling to give up, Ronggui tried his best to make the last resistance.

"It's cheaper to break the rent, you said." After putting on one pillow cover, Xiaomei put on the second one.

"The yard here is so big, and the lush plants inside are so weird!"

"The yard is big and spacious. The landlord said that we can use the terrace stairs to walk down to a small piece of land below, which can be used to bury the freezer and plant apple seedlings and ground beans." Xiaomei started to move the quilt. When he moved the quilt, Ronggui hangs on him, dragging her feet on the floor, wherever Xiaomei goes, Ronggui hangs on him and follows: "And—"

"The plants are thriving because the landlord sells herbal plants."

what to do?Although Xiaomei's tone sounded the same as usual, but...

I always feel that he is very satisfied here!

Weirdly satisfied! ! ! !

Ronggui is embarrassing!

"But, but the landlord is very weird! Her eyes are white! White!" Ronggui hurried and whispered.

Isn't this weird?

This is the weirdest place! ! ! !

Xiaomei had already found the quilt and brought it over, and returned to the laid sheets, Xiaomei knelt down again, put the quilt on, and then he answered Ronggui calmly: "She has severe white eyes. "

"what?"

"A variant of cataract, manifested by fogging of the cornea, with the appearance of a thick, irremovable white film, with progressively poorer vision until total blindness."

"Ah..." Holding Xiaomei's neck, Rong Gui was stunned: "Is that so."

The most feared question has been scientifically explained, and Ronggui nodded to express his sympathy and understanding.

"The landlord said we can use a small piece of land under the terrace stairs? Is it free? Can I go and see it?"

The most feared thing in his heart was answered, and Ronggui suddenly regained his sense of normalcy.

After peeling himself off from Xiaomei, Ronggui began to look around curiously.

"..." Xiaomei... Xiaomei was a little speechless.

Fortunately, Ronggui just took a brief look in private, and noticed that there was indeed a terrace outside the house they rented, and there was an independent staircase leading downstairs on the terrace, Ronggui cheered softly.

Then he happily returned to the house, humming a little tune while packing up with Xiaomei, he decided to go exploring with Xiaomei after work~

Xiaomei: ...

Xiaomei is very, very used to it.

In this way, they also chose a place to stay in Sisiro City.

Living in a "haunted house" in the old city, I rented an entire floor at one-third of the market price.Although it is an attic, it is for two petite robots.The loft is already very spacious.

In addition, they also have a separate staircase, and a small piece of land under the stairs.

Ronggui feels: The life between me and Xiaomei really gets better~

Happy!
