The Sabbath

Ronggui turned around in surprise, he really didn't guess.

But Xiaomei's reaction was much calmer. The metal face of the little robot with blue eyes was reflected on the car window, and it was extraordinarily quiet.So he said that his current expression was as expressionless as ever, it might be better to say that he had expected something long ago.

The two little feet were carefully hanging in the air so as not to touch the lace-covered carpet in the car. The little girl looked down at her dirty shoes, and said after a long while: "...you ran to my shop...to buy something, right? I was introduced here, right? My house is like this now... Generally speaking, outsiders don’t come to patronize, relying on the old man’s introduction, relying on selling some of the leftover potions made by my father, I can barely survive.”

"What kind of medicine do you want to buy? If it's within the expiry date, I can sell it to you cheaply. If it's past the expiry date... I'll keep it and sell it to others."

Ronggui: ...

Selling expired medicine at such a young age...isn't it good?

However, such a young girl has no father, no mother, and no welfare institution. How can she survive without selling expired medicine?

The same experience as an orphan made Rong Gui suddenly feel sympathetic to the little girl in front of him.

His sympathy was completely shown on his face, seeing that Ronggui would not continue to ask, Xiaomei suddenly said:

"We need a strong nutrient solution, do you have it here?"

With a very businesslike attitude, Xiaomei said this in the same tone as in the previous two stores, and it has not changed because the current owner is a little girl.

Then the little girl stretched out the back of her hand and wiped her tears again, took out a tattered little book from the breast pocket of her clothes, carefully flipped through several pages, and finally said to Xiaomei like a little adult: "Yes, But it's all over."

"It's okay if it's expired. I'll buy it at the original price for how much you usually sell it for." Xiaomei's voice was calm, but to Ronggui's ears, it sounded like a dirty word!

As expected of a man who has passed the qualification certificate and can get a high salary... a robot.

Ronggui's mind is simple, he can only think about it when he heard Xiaomei's words, but the little girl behind him is obviously more flexible than him.

After hearing Xiaomei's words, the little girl raised her head immediately.

"Why do you want to buy expired medicine? Could it be..."

"You are a pharmacist, can you copy it?"

Ronggui: =口=! ! !

So it can be like this? !

Ronggui's head turned to Xiaomei: Xiaomei's expression is always the same...with no expression on her face.

"Theoretically, as long as there is a finished product, it can be copied." To save Ronggui's face, Xiaomei explained a little.

As expected of Xiaomei—Ronggui nodded immediately.

It's best to be able to do it yourself~ Ronggui didn't think too much about leaving this city early, he just thought: the pharmacist in this city can make a medical accident at the level of a zombie siege if he makes an elixir... cough cough , although the perpetrator's daughter is in the car, but this can't change the fact, and just now I heard something about expired medicine...Ronggui always feels that the current pharmacy is too unreliable. Compared with the pharmacists outside, he I still think Xiaomei is reliable~

Along the way, she never saw anything that stumped Xiaomei, Ronggui was easily convinced by Xiaomei's explanation.However, the little girl at the back was more thoughtful than him. The little girl sniffed her snot, and her big eyes fixed on the back of Xiaomei's... head. The little girl continued to ask:

"The medicines in our city of Sisiro are not ordinary medicinal materials. The medicinal materials here are completely made of plants. An ordinary pill looks simple, but it uses hundreds of secret methods in the middle of the production process. One ingredient is extracted from different medicinal materials with different heat... The time is different, and the effect of the medicine is completely different. The reason why the medicine in Sisiro City is hard to find is because our medicine cannot be copied at all! Outside There is no way for a machine to break through ingredients!"

"Common medicine is very difficult to make, let alone powerful nutrient solution! Powerful nutrient solution requires very high skills and experience from pharmacists. There are no more than four pharmacists in the whole city who can make powerful nutrient solution. My father is the most powerful nutrient solution among them." awesome!"

Even under such circumstances, the little girl's tone could easily tell her pride.

She is proud of her father!

"It's really difficult, but it's not completely inoperable." Faced with the little girl's questioning, Xiaomei obviously didn't intend to explain further. Turning her head, the sky-like blue eyes met the little girl's face for the first time. Ask calmly: "Just tell me if you can sell it, and how much it will cost."

Unlike Ronggui, who hardly makes people feel that he is a robot, Xiaomei's appearance is almost the same as Ronggui, but he feels cold and mechanical, and there is almost no evidence that he is a living person.

When Xiaomei stared at her coldly, the little girl flinched instinctively.

Ronggui saw her clenched her small fists, as if to cheer herself up, and then, the little guy raised his head again, bravely looking directly at Xiaomei:

"I don't want money, the medicine can be given to you for free, but, as a price, you have to teach me how to make a powerful nutrient solution!"

Like the sky, the water-like eyes stared blankly at the little girl.

At this moment, Ronggui next to him couldn't help becoming nervous.

Until Xiaomei said again: "Yes."

Therefore, Ronggui and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

With such a guarantee, the relationship between Ronggui and the little girl became much closer. Kneeling on the passenger seat, with two mechanical arms embracing the seat, Ronggui simply turned around completely and chatted with the little girl.

"Why do you want to learn how to make a strong nutrient solution with Xiaomei like this? Don't you know how?" Rong Gui felt a little regretful just after saying this.

Oops... This child is so young, maybe he hasn't started learning yet~ and her father has passed away, maybe he died suddenly, maybe he didn't have time to teach before he died!

Really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted—Ronggui scolded himself in his heart.

However, the little girl did not appear to be hit. On the contrary, because Xiaomei agreed to her request, as if she had let go of a burden in her heart, her expression looked much more relaxed than before:

"In Sisiro City, basically every family has a pharmacy. Although the production methods of many medicines are public, the details are different, so the medicines of each family are very different, and there are many unique secret medicines. This is In order to pass on these ancestral prescriptions, every child has been playing in the studio at home since they can walk."

"Our first toy was a test tube, the most commonly used container for pharmaceuticals."

Narrating the traditions of her own city, the little girl looked a little nostalgic.However, when she speaks of herself—

"I have one too, but..."

The little girl who was still narrating tactfully was stunned suddenly. Ronggui saw two big teardrops reappeared in the girl's eye sockets, his eyes were flattened, and the next second, the little guy was crying.

"My strength is too great, the test tube is broken!"

Ronggui: ...Uh, this sounds...It hurts!But is it necessary to cry so sadly?

Although he sympathized, Ronggui was a little puzzled.

Then, he couldn't understand what the little girl said next:

"Did you see my mother just now? My mother is very beautiful. Back then, my mother was the most beautiful woman in Sisiro."

Ronggui:?

"My father... just looks... very ordinary, but my father studies well."

Ronggui:? ?

"When I was my age, my grandfather passed away, and my father not only inherited the family business, but also doubled the size of the store."

"Papa is the best medicine man in Cicero!"

Ronggui:? ? ?

Question marks popped out one by one, Ronggui felt that he couldn't keep up with the little guy's thoughts at all.

until--

"A good-looking mother married a smart father. At that time, everyone said that the children of parents must be smart and beautiful. But—"

The little girl's tears stopped, and in the next second, more tears poured out, and she was about to collapse!

"But my face looks like my father, but my brain is like my mother!!!"

Ronggui: =-=

"My mother's only advantage is that she looks good. In fact, she doesn't know anything, and she can't do housework well. Look at the tablecloth in my kitchen, right?"

"Yes...it's quite beautiful..." Ronggui added in his heart as he was still very girlish.

"Dad did it all." The little girl cried.

Ronggui: ...

"You see, Dad's clothes are exquisite and fashionable, right? They've been buried underground for so long, and other... people's clothes are all rotten, but my parents' clothes are still in good shape."

Ronggui: "It's quite strong, and it looks fashionable..."

He said this, but he already had a terrible premonition in his heart, and the next second, as expected——

"The clothes are also cut by my father. My father's clothes, my mother's skirt, my clothes, and little Nini's pants are all sewn by my father." The little girl continued to wipe her tears.

Incidentally, Ronggui found out later that Xiao Nini was referring to the doll on the little girl's bed.

Ronggui: ...

This kind of pattern where one person is omnipotent in everything and the other person can do nothing but be pretty, why... sounds familiar?

Ronggui couldn't help looking in Xiaomei's direction, and then——

With a bang, it met Xiaomei's eyes.

I... besides being pretty... I can also sing!With a weak look, Ronggui said pitifully (with his eyes).

Xiaomei...

Xiaomei turned her head back decisively.

"In short, I just look like an ordinary-looking father, with a brain like...a brainless mother. I can't learn all the things my father taught me. I want to use my appearance to deceive someone who is as capable as my father to be the son-in-law and heir. I can't do it..." Thinking of the sad things, the little girl cried more and more sadly, so that lumps of snot landed on the dirty shoes she was holding tightly in her hand superior.

Although the shoes are dirty, the stitches are delicate, and there are small flowers embroidered on them one after another. These shoes... must be the handwriting of the girl's father, right?

The face of the zombie with glasses flashed in his mind again, and that face gradually overlapped with the face of the middle-aged man in the photo of the little girl's room.

The stiff blue face faded away, and gradually turned into a somewhat serious but gentle man's face.

And that female zombie...Thinking about it, she is really pretty~

Suddenly his heart softened, and Ronggui handed a small handkerchief to the little girl.

"Don't cry~ There are tears and snot all over your face, it doesn't look good~"

"Don't worry, it's the same in our family... I don't know anything, but Xiaomei is very good! He can definitely make a powerful nutrient, you have to study hard! Just in case... In case you are really with me If you're as stupid as you really can't learn, there's me~"

"I'm the best at dressing up~ It's said that three points of a beautiful person depend on his foundation, and seven points depend on his appearance. I'll teach you how to take care of yourself and how to dress up. In the future, you can also use your looks to lure a smart boyfriend back to help you. Mile!"

As a clumsy person who can do everything, no one can understand the pain of "I can't learn by life or death" better than Ronggui.

He didn't say to the little girl, "You must be fine", "You can definitely learn it"...he directly helped the little girl think of another way to go.

As soon as he thinks about it, he is now planning how to dress up the little girl.

Listening to the various methods introduced by Ronggui, the little girl was holding a handkerchief in her hand, tears and snot still smeared on her face, but she looked at Ronggui with moist eyes, completely attracted by Ronggui.

Such Ronggui made the little guy obviously heave a sigh of relief.

However, the beauty methods that Ronggui spoke of were too complicated, far beyond the scope of a little girl's comprehension, and she couldn't understand.

However, not being able to understand did not prevent her from continuing to listen with her head tilted.

Seeing that the little guy just listened to his own words, and the snot on his face... was almost dry and caked on his face, Ronggui had no choice but to stretch out his hand, grabbed the handkerchief that he had just handed to the little girl, and wiped it carefully on her face. Rub it up.

Spray the snot into Ronggui's handkerchief covering her nose, and when Ronggui took the handkerchief away, the little guy blew through his nostrils: It's clear.

Then--

Staring at Ronggui with bright eyes, and then at Xiaomei who was calm all the time, the little girl suddenly spoke:

"You two are like my parents!"

Ronggui: ...

Xiaomei: =-=

After speaking, the little guy became happy again.

"Go back! Go back and I'll bring you the last batch of powerful nutrient solution that Dad made from the warehouse."

Holding a heavy handkerchief full of snot and tears in his hand, Ronggui was a little speechless.

But so what?As long as the little guy is happy.

Tilting his head, he put the handkerchief on Xiao Hei's head, Ronggui decided to go back and wash the handkerchief and continue to use it. It's not just the handkerchief that needs to be cleaned, the little girl also has a lot of things to wash~

Xiaomei's next job is to decipher the powerful nutrient solution left by the little girl's father. Of course, he can't help in this regard, but if he can't help, he can't be idle~

During this period of time, he will help the little girl to change and wash the house.

Thinking about the dirty tablecloths in the kitchen, thinking about the dishes and bowls that have been cleaned but re-pasted with green slime and black bugs... Ronggui silently calculated his future workload.
