The Sabbath

When I took the rhubarb back to the place I left before, the zombies that had been there had already left.

To be exact, it was "leaved".

Ronggui saw a lot of people wearing the local costumes of Cicero, with delicate eyebrows and fair skin... at first glance, they were locals.They still had a few zombies in custody, and a car was waiting next door, probably an escort car.

"Hana, are you back?" Seeing the little girl jump off the rhubarb, one of the young men greeted her.

Only then did Ronggui know the little girl's name.

Without saying a word, the little girl just nodded. When she was in the car just now, Ronggui helped her clean up her little face, so the little girl looks clean now, and there is no trace of crying on her face at all.

This child is obviously not the kind of child who will take the initiative to please people, but more like a little hedgehog.

But probably because he was used to her attitude, the short-haired young man didn't take it seriously. After finding Ronggui and Xiaomei who were following the little girl, Ronggui noticed that he squinted his eyes slightly, although his face was still smiling. , but already a little more alert.

"Hey! These two foreigners... are you new friends? Or guests?" He asked with a cheerful look.

Ronggui and Xiaomei wore cloaks all over their bodies. The cloaks had obvious ethnic characteristics. They were not locals at first glance. The cloaks completely covered them, only their hands and feet were exposed. They looked like they were made of metal. Locals are used to Using medicine to treat diseases does not use metal substitutes at all, so this is an important criterion for distinguishing them from locals.

The little girl—well, now Ronggui knew her name was Hana, turned his head to look at Ronggui and Xiaomei, and when he turned his head again, he said to the young man: "It's not a guest, it's my newly hired guy. "

When she said this, the little girl puffed out her chest in a reserved manner, pretending to be a boss, but her aura weakened after a while, and she looked back at Ronggui Xiaomei, and found that the two of them had no other reaction , I barely let go of my heart.

"Hire foreigners? Uh... that's right." The young man was stunned for a while, as if thinking of something, he smiled with relief.

Say hello to the partner next to him, he trotted over, bent down, put his hands on his knees, and smiled at Ronggui and Xiaomei: "My name is Qilu, I can be regarded as... your senior."

He pointed to the shop of Hana's house in front, and said: "I used to be a clerk in this shop. Although I don't work here anymore, I still come to manage those...undead people every day, so you will often saw me."

"If you don't understand things in the city, you can ask Hana first, and if you still don't know, you can ask me~"

"Ah~ thank you, my name is Ronggui, nice to meet you!" Ronggui was acquainted, and it was very easy for him to meet a person who formally came to greet him. He hurriedly stretched out his hand, and his greetings were fluent popped out.

There is no doubt that there is no handshake ceremony in the local area. The young man named Qilu looked at Ronggui's outstretched hand and was stunned. Caught by the little robot.

Also shook up and down.

Only then did he realize that this was probably the etiquette of the other party.

Because of the shock, the thin lips that were slightly parted quickly turned into a tiny one, Qilu said to Ronggui: "I am also very happy to meet you."

"I come here every day, and you can ask me for help if you need anything." Qilu didn't stop for a long time because he was on business. He repeated what he said before, waved his hand, and walked away gracefully.

"He's such a passionate person!" After bidding farewell to Qilu, Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei, "He said he would come here every day, if you need anything, you can find him~"

Xiaomei glanced at him, but said nothing.

People are telling you to come here on patrol every day, don’t think bad things about the little girl, otherwise——

Ronggui was the only one who couldn't hear the warning in the other party's words at all, and simply understood the superficial meaning.

"That..." When the two little robots were biting their ears, the little girl in front turned around and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, I said you are guys in the store."

"It's okay, it's good for you to say that, Xiaomei and I will come here often in the future~ If you say we work here, then we can come every day!" Ronggui waved his hands readily.

Anyway, he and Xiaomei have nothing to do, and he was thinking of finding something to do before~ He was accidentally appointed as an employee by default, which saves trouble.

"But, so that person is a buddy here?" Immediately afterwards, Rong Gui wentssiped.

Nodding hesitantly, the little girl unlocked the door and said, "Qilu worked here when Dad was still there, but after Dad... died, he left."

"Uh...why? I think he is very nice, he doesn't seem to be the type to make a living without the boss around." Ronggui asked very straightforwardly.

With a "click", the door opened, the little girl pushed the door open, turned on the light, and then turned her head to answer Ronggui's question: "I don't know, they... Qilu, Yani, Dongchun, etc. They are very good people, but once Dad is not around, they... will leave immediately."

Speaking of this, the little girl's face became gloomy again.

"But Qilu comes here every day, and..." Ronggui raised his head and thought for a while: "The reason why Xiaomei and I know this place is because a beauty clerk in a store told us, that person is very beautiful and tall. Tall, with a small dimple on the left, slightly raised eyebrows..."

Ronggui described the beauty of the beauty clerk in detail.

The little girl curled her lips: "That person should be Yani. Now... the customers who come here to buy medicine are basically fooled by him."

Ronggui who was "fooled" over: ...

"There is another man named Dongchun. He drives at the gate of the city to do business, and he often drives customers over to buy medicine." The little girl said with big eyes looking outside the door, in the direction Yani left.

"...It seems that they all miss you!" Tilting his head, Ronggui concluded: "But, why did you leave?"

"I...I don't know either." Hana said softly, lowering her head.

Ronggui couldn't figure it out.

He is a simple person. If he likes someone, he will try his best to treat him well. Even if it is really useless, it doesn't matter, he can at least be with him.

As for Qilu who just left, Yani who had met once, and Dongchun who had never met, they obviously spared no effort to help their former boss and Hana, but why didn't they stay?

Letting such a little girl live alone in such a big house, facing the dead parents who still go home every day, seeing their terrible appearance, even knowing that they are their own relatives, but actually seeing them When the time comes, you will still be afraid, right?

Fear, sadness and nostalgia, this young child is full of contradictions.

If it continues like this, sooner or later this child will develop psychological problems, and maybe he will become an anti-social personality!

Puzzled, Ronggui thought worriedly.

At this time, Xiaomei suddenly spoke:

"They have to go."

"Hey?" Hearing what he said, Ronggui immediately turned his gaze to Xiaomei, not only him, but the little girl also raised her head.

"According to what you said, each store in Sisiro City has its own secret recipe. The current main method of inheritance is still based on blood inheritance. You are still young and have not yet learned the pharmaceutical methods passed down from your ancestors. They have all passed away, and in this case, if there are three shop assistants who are still in their prime years, people outside may suspect that they have ulterior motives."

"Others would think they stayed for the secret recipe your father left behind, or for the shop itself."

"If you have the ability to make pharmaceuticals and can continue to operate the store as the owner, they don't need to leave. However, if you can't take over the store, they leave is the right choice to help you."

"It's not because I'm afraid, nor because I'm cold-hearted, but because I chose to help in other ways."

"It's not just them. If you hire anyone in the city, there will be another group of people who suspect that they have ulterior motives."

"Unless you hire outsiders."

"So, Chirrut was relieved to hear that you hired us from outsiders as shop assistants."

After saying this, Xiaomei fell silent.

According to Xiaomei's personality, being able to say this is already an expression of face.

"So that's the case?" After hearing Xiaomei's words, Ronggui suddenly realized, and looked forward to Hana, only to see that the little girl was also thoughtful.

Seeing that Ronggui and the little girl were thinking about their own things, but they were all standing at the door, Xiaomei paused, like what Ronggui taught him in the morning, he first wiped the soles of his feet on the floor at the door , followed by:

"Where's the powerful nutrient solution your father made? I need to see it."

"Ah...Okay, it's in the basement, please follow me." The contemplation was interrupted by Xiaomei's voice, the little girl suddenly woke up from her own thoughts, she jumped up, and led the way lightly in front of her. The two of you walked towards the end of the first floor and down the stairs.

It was only then that Ronggui discovered that there was a small door there, which directly led to the basement.

It is completely different from the small basement in Xiaomei's hometown, this basement here is very spacious!It was exactly the same area as the first floor of the store, maybe even higher, and there were rows and rows of shelves with all kinds of medicines on them.

It's just like the library that Ronggui visited in his previous life!

It's just that the shelves here are not books, but medicines!

Compared with the tall shelf, the extremely petite Ronggui robot raised its head, opened its mouth slightly, and was filled with amazement.

"The powerful nutrient solution is here." There are so many shelves here that Ronggui is dazzled, but the little girl is familiar with the way. She walked to the last shelf, squatted down, and opened a door on the ground. .

It turns out there is a secret door inside!

The little girl struggled to hold a large cylindrical jar and occupied it.

The medicine in the jar shone with colorful lights under the light.

Ronggui suddenly thought of the scales of mermaids rolling in the sun and in the sea...

What a dreamy color!

Stretching out his hand, Xiaomei took the jar from the girl's hand and held it firmly. He said to the other two: "Take me to the studio, I'll start the analysis now."

"Ah... good!" Unexpectedly, Xiaomei was going to start work immediately. The little girl was stunned, and then led the two back to the first floor, climbed the stairs, and brought them to the work of the owner of the optical shop. room.

Xiaomei was too short, standing in front of the workbench was barely at the same level as the tabletop, so the little girl contributed a very large footstool.

"My father made this for me. When he makes medicine, he always likes to let me stand by and watch."

Pushing the footstool to the front of the workbench, watching Xiaomei stand on it, the little girl was stunned.

Ignoring her words, Xiaomei put the jar on the huge workbench, her eyes and hands drifted slowly over the various instruments on the workbench, and he began to get familiar with the usage of these instruments.

The pharmacy here is very special. Many instruments cannot be mastered at the moment, so he is not in a hurry. When he returned to Rhubarb, he took out his own toolbox.After patching together for a while, he assembled a few instruments by himself.

Taking a test tube of strong nutrient solution from the jar, Xiaomei began the difficult work of deciphering the ingredients.

Squatting under the workbench, the little girl looked up at the little robot in front of the workbench.

Her eyes were bewildered and full of nostalgia, she seemed to be in a daze.

"Hana, do you want to stay here and watch Xiaomei work, or do you want to take care of the cleaning work with me?" This time, the person who interrupted the little girl's thoughts was Ronggui.

When Xiaomei returned to the car, Ronggui went back with him, and took out the gloves and scarf for working from above, he used a set for himself, just in case, and brought a set for the little girl.

"I... go to work with you!" Between Ronggui, who was wearing a cute headscarf and equally cute gloves on her hands, and Xiaomei, who had an indifferent face, the little girl decisively chose Ronggui.

Uh... In fact, what she chose was not a person, but a type of work: the physical work represented by Ronggui and the mental work represented by Xiaomei. I want to know which one is more suitable for me~

The little girl jumped up, patted the dust off her buttocks, and ran towards Ronggui happily.

Putting on the same cute gloves and headscarf, the little girl started cleaning with Ronggui!

They started cleaning the little girl's own bedroom. Since the death of her parents, the little girl's bedroom has not been cleaned properly. The sheets and sheets are dirty, and the sheets and sheets in the cabinet are also dirty. Xi, after asking the little girl, Ronggui found out that the little girl hadn't washed the sheets for nearly a year.

"Change it when it's dirty. Luckily, Dad made me a lot of sheets and sheets..." The little girl was obviously a little embarrassed when someone saw her dirty sheets, she explained in a low voice.

"However, since last month, there have been no replacement sheets and quilts. You only need to put on the first replaced ones."

Ronggui: ...

This is the way of a standard lazy man, girl, do you have the soul of a sloppy uncle living in your body?

Dirty is only a small problem, and there is also a problem with the way the quilt is set. It's like stuffing the quilt indiscriminately, shaking it casually and then reusing it.

but--

Ronggui looked at the blushing little girl next to her. The little girl is still young. It is good enough to know how to change the quilt cover alone. She is so short that it is difficult to even shake the quilt inside the quilt cover. No wonder...

"Let's take off all your sheets and quilts first, and wash them?" Ronggui raised a finger, looking very "virtuous" and said to the little girl.

Little stars appeared in the eyes, and the little girl nodded vigorously.

Then--

Ronggui, who seemed very smart just now, somehow got himself trapped in the quilt when he took off the quilt and couldn't get out.

↑

no way!The little girl's quilt is too big!

Hearing Ronggui's cry for help from inside the quilt, the little girl worked clumsily for a long time before finding his position, and the two equally clumsy people spent even longer time straightening out the quilt, distinguishing the inside from the outside, and finally getting it right When it was time to put it in the washing machine, they ran into another problem.

I don't know how to use the local washing machine. Ronggui just pressed a few buttons casually. The washing machine turned twice and broke down.

There was no other way, Ronggui could only call down Xiaomei, who was busy in the studio, with a sad face. Xiaomei repaired the washing machine without saying a word and did not leave. He put washing powder in it, and finally pressed the cleaning button to ensure that the washing machine had started to work. , he just left.

Looking at Ronggui who kept saying "thank you" to Xiaomei's back.

The little girl blinked, and suddenly smiled secretly.

The last trace of haze covering the little person's face also dissipated, and she finally looked like an ordinary little girl.
