The Sabbath

It's not wrong that Hana hugged Ronggui before going to bed at night, but she rolled and rolled in the middle of the night, and rolled to Xiaomei's side in the middle of the night.

So, when Ronggui woke up the next day, what he saw was Xiaomei who was hugged by a little girl with a blank face.

"Pfft!" Rong Gui was delighted.

"That is to say, it is now the body of a robot. If it is still my previous body, my sleeping position will be worse than Hana~ The little girl has not woken up yet, so you should stop moving and let her sleep for a while." Crawling out of the quilt, Ronggui stuffed Xiaomei with the corner of the quilt.

Then he went to open the windows. Except for the window facing their bed, he opened all the other windows. Although the robot does not produce exhaust gas, the habit of being a human is too stubborn. Growing up in a crowded orphanage, Ronggui has long been used to opening the windows first thing in the morning.

When opening the balcony window, Ronggui suddenly paused.

Turning his head, he said to Xiaomei: "You sleep a little longer, I'll go to work first~"

Xiaomei: ...

Well, in Xiaomei's heart, she has already replaced the word "work" in Ronggui's words with "destroy".

But this time he really guessed wrong.

Ronggui really didn't go down to cause damage...ah!No, it's work.

Humming a little song, he opened the glass door of the terrace, and Ronggui happily walked down the small simple stairs outside. He quickly came to the small piece of land that the landlady allowed them to use. He ran outside for a whole day yesterday. God, there is no time to tidy up this field at all, they simply put the flower pots with ground beans and apple seedlings here, and by the way, there are also flowers that Kiki gave him.

Stretching out his fingers to hook the new leaves of the apple seedlings hanging with fresh dew, Ronggui touched a small mushroom nearby, and then he looked at the wooden fence next to it.

What separates their small piece of land from the other land of the landlord is a tall wooden fence. The wooden fence is made of long planks, with vines crawling between them. The other three sides of the house are fences of this kind. The fences are very high and the vines on them are extremely lush. They isolate the land under Ronggui's feet into a separate small yard. Even a normal person can't see it when standing in the yard. When it comes to the situation next door, let alone Ronggui who is only 1.1 meters tall.

But he still saw the situation next door, when he opened the window upstairs just now.

He saw the man again.

When I opened the window yesterday, I found someone working below.

When Ronggui saw the other party for the first time yesterday, Ronggui still felt a little scared, but after the experience of being in close contact with the landlady's wife yesterday, he suddenly felt that many things might just be him scaring himself, so when Ronggui found out that the other party Today, when he was working next door downstairs, he thought of coming down to say hello.

But—Ronggui looked at the tall fence, the fence was too high...

Besides, you have to prepare a gift for the meeting, right?

After thinking about it, Ronggui saw the flower pots next to him. The flower pots made by Xiaomei were very strong, and it would be no problem to step on them.Then, Ronggui saw the potted flower that Qiqi gave him. This is a small blue-purple flower that is very easy to grow, and as long as it is watered enough, occasionally fertilized and exposed to light, it can keep blooming. At this moment, the potted flower Seven flowers the size of Ronggui's fist bloomed.

Turning a flower pot with ground beans upside down, pouring out all the ground beans in it and rolling them on the ground next to it, Ronggui then carefully picked the best flower that bloomed.

Then, he pushed the flower pot to the fence, jumped on it and tried it, but found that the height was still not enough, so he had to empty another flower pot, and stacked another layer on top of it. , the height is enough.

Standing on the top of the fence, Ronggui tremblingly saw the man next door who was working seriously.

"Hey! Good morning~ I am Ronggui who moved in yesterday, and Xiaomei moved in with me. We will live here for about three months, that..."

"This is a meeting gift!" With difficulty, he raised his hand holding the flower high, Ronggui handed the flower over with great difficulty, who knew——

Probably because the way of stacking the flower pots just now was wrong, the flower pot under his feet suddenly shook, his body tilted, and with a "click", Ronggui's head disappeared from the top of the fence.

The flowerpot was misplaced, and Ronggui fell in his yard.Fortunately, he is a robot, and this level of impact can't break him.

Unyielding, Ronggui hurriedly stacked the flower pots again, and when he climbed up again, he saw the blue-purple flowers falling on the black ground, and the man next door standing blankly in front of the flowers.

The man was wearing very thick clothes and a sun hat on his head. His whole body was tightly covered. Ronggui couldn't see his face clearly at all, but he could only see that the other party was a burly person.

"Well, the flower is a gift! I'm sorry it fell down, I can't reach it, that... that... please pick it up... ah!"

With a loud cry and the sound of porcelain colliding, Ronggui fell down again.

This time he couldn't rush to re-stack the flower pots and climb up again: the flower pots were cracked.

Ronggui was a little dumbfounded.

However, you have to finish what you have to say, otherwise it would be rude~

So, Ronggui said two more words to the opposite side at the top of his voice, probably to explain his situation: the flower pot used as a ladder was broken, so he couldn't show up in the past, and shaking hands was more like an interview, but fortunately The gift has already been sent, please don't be disgusted with it...

Ronggui babbled for a long time.

While the little robot was talking there, the tall and burly masked man on the other side of the fence that he couldn't see slowly bent down, stretched out his gloved hand, and picked it up. Blue-purple flowers fell to the ground.

Holding the flowers, the man stood there for a long, long time.

-

After talking for a long time, the other party said no, and I don't know if the other party has accepted my meeting gift... But it's normal if he doesn't accept it, after all... I am a strange person no matter how I look at it~

Thinking of the experience of falling down just after showing up twice, Ronggui almost wanted to cover his face.

Sighing, seeing the cracks on the flowerpot on the ground, Ronggui's mood became even more depressed, and then he saw the ground beans that he had thrown on the ground randomly...

Well, I really can't do anything well, just like saying hello to someone who might be a neighbor, and I ended up tossing so many things...

Sighing, Ronggui was about to start picking "mushrooms" when suddenly a pair of mechanical feet appeared in front of his eyes.

Xiaomei didn't know when she came down.

Sure enough, she was doing sabotage——Xiaomei didn't speak, but she said so in those sky-like eyes.

Blocking two mushrooms in front of his eyes, Ronggui's shoulders collapsed, and the whole robot froze.

"Why...don't you sleep a little longer? It's...it's still early..." The little robot whispered with its head buried between its legs.

"You opened the window before you went downstairs, the sound is so loud, how could I not hear it?" Xiaomei's cold voice was above Ronggui's head at first, and in the process of saying this, his voice became louder and louder. Nearby, when Ronggui exposed one eye from between his legs, sure enough, he saw that Xiaomei had squatted down and started to tidy up the scattered beans on the ground.

Without any other reproaches, Xiaomei went straight to work.

Holding a small shovel in her hand, Xiaomei loosened the soil first, and then planted the ground beans in it one by one. Seeing Ronggui circling behind his buttocks because she didn't know what to do, Xiaomei said calmly: "Go and dump the ground beans out of the other pots, like these."

As he spoke, he pointed at the ground beans that Ronggui had poured out indiscriminately with the shovel in his hand.

After receiving the order, Ronggui seemed to be relieved that he had a job to do, and he immediately ran to the side to move the flower pots.

Xiaomei worked quickly and well. Before long, there were rows of ground beans on the originally empty ground. Apple seedlings were placed in the corner, and the purple flowers sent by Qiqi were blooming next to the apple seedlings.

"Look at this job, Xiaomei, you are a serious kid from the countryside~" Ronggui, who was once again shocked by Xiaomei's ability, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Country Child" Xiaomei: ...

In fact, he just watched others do it, plus turning the pages of the book.

Not intending to explain too much to Ronggui, Xiaomei quickly went over to look at the broken flowerpot.

The soil here is not suitable for firing pots, these are just cracked pots that can be repaired until they get new replacement containers.

After thinking about it, Xiaomei found some metal wires and weaved them around the cracked flowerpot, and a new flowerpot was born.

When Xiaomei finished all the work, it was only eight o'clock, and when the two little robots climbed up the stairs again, Hana just woke up rubbing her eyes.

"It smells so good... I can smell the delicious food." The little girl woke up because of the smell of the food.

Ronggui was stunned for a moment, and then realized:

"Ah! The landlady will still cook for us, right? Whether it is or not, hurry down?"

Hana nodded vigorously.

When Xiaomei was packing the tools that were going to be taken away today, Ronggui was helping Hana braid her pigtails. It was true that she was a bit clumsy in other aspects, but when it came to stinky things, Ronggui was always good at it.

Although Ronggui's braids are rough, they can't stand the trendy style~

In addition, the clothes given to Hana by the landlord's wife are really meticulous in workmanship and the stitches are gorgeous. The little girl Hana, who was originally not amazing, has become a lot cute~

"Very good~" Letting the little girl turn around in front of his eyes, Ronggui gestured "ok" to Hana in satisfaction.

Although she couldn't understand the gesture, it didn't prevent Hana from understanding the possible meaning of the gesture~ So she also compared the same gesture to Ronggui!

While the two of them were smug, Xiaomei not only packed up her own things, but also tidied up the bedding, and when Ronggui was done, the three of them went downstairs together.

In the living room on the first floor, the old lady was already sitting in the rocking chair. She was still knitting, but there was an extra pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose. The black ones were sunglasses.

Ronggui was stunned for a long time, and then realized that the sunglasses should be to cover the white eyes, right?

And yesterday, the place where the red shrimp rice was placed was indeed food.

There are also two bowls, but this time there is only a handful of tableware inside.

Today's meal still looks miserable: green and sticky, with some burnt black things floating on the surface...

However, the only girl among the three who could smell the smell had bright eyes:

"It smells so good!"

"Let's make do with it. The little girl can eat, so I prepared two bowls for you." The old woman said calmly as she continued knitting.

It was said that the big eater didn't care, so Hana laughed a few times, and immediately ran to Xiaoyuan's table to eat.

While Hana was eating, Xiaomei had automatically gone to the place where Ronggui found other problems yesterday to repair the doors and windows, and Ronggui... had nothing to do, so he decided to chat with the old lady.

"...Ms. Zora (note: the last name of the landlady's wife), when I went to work in the field this morning, I saw a gentleman working next door~ Is he also a tenant here? Or is it your relative?" When Rong Gui asked this question, he didn't think much about it, he just asked when he thought about it.

The old woman's fingers dexterously wound coils one after another, and she said slowly: "He is not a tenant, nor is he a relative of mine, he is just an employee."

"I'm getting old, and my eyes are inconvenient. I need someone to help me with the work in the herbal medicine field outside."

"What's the matter, did he get in your way?"

When asking this sentence, although the old man's face didn't move a bit, Rong Gui felt the creepy feeling again, is it an illusion?Uh...it must be just an illusion, right?

Quickly shaking his shoulders, Rong Gui replied: "No, I just said hello, because I saw him the day before yesterday, and I thought that the other party might live here, and it would be impolite not to say hello to someone who will meet frequently in the future. ~"

"But I didn't have anything good, so I gave the other party a flower."

Scratching his head, Ronggui laughed loudly.

The previous creepy feeling suddenly disappeared, and the old man on the rocking chair continued to knit slowly, she said softly: "He is a man who can't speak, but he has a very gentle personality. Don't worry if he doesn't answer you. He also has his inconveniences. place……"

"Oh~ I won't mind."

……

……

After a few more chats with the old man, the little girl finally finished her meal, and Xiaomei also finished dealing with the door hinge problem.

Ronggui wanted to wash the dishes, but the old lady refused.

"There's red shrimp and rice in the evening." Before Ronggui and the others went out, the old woman just said so reservedly.Then, without waiting for Ronggui and the others to react, she left with two empty bowls.

This is... the meaning of welcoming Hana to eat again?

Dumbfounded, Ronggui and Hana looked at each other in dismay.

"It's getting late." In the end, it was Xiaomei who interrupted them.

Picking up Xiaomei's toolbox, Ronggui hurried out.

When I came to Hana's shop again, there were still many zombies outside as before, and Hana was protected between the two of them. Ronggui squeezed nervously from the group of zombies to the front door, and he bumped into something when he entered the door. Something, looked up, only to find that the one he hit was none other than the female zombie.

Hannah's mother--

Look carefully, Hana's father, the zombie with glasses, is standing nearby. If Xiaomei also rushes over like Ronggui, she will probably bump into him just in time.

It was only then that Ronggui realized that this time happened to be the time for the zombies to "enter the city", and it was also the time for Hana's parents to "go home".

However, usually at this time, one of them should be in the studio and the other should be "working".

Ronggui looked at Hana, the little girl was obviously a little confused.

There was confusion, there was sadness, and... fear.

Even the most loving parents, seeing them rotten, children of this age are still afraid.

Hana's small body trembled again.

After a while, Ronggui heard Hana say:

"Dad, Mom, Agui and I went to his house to play, and we had dinner there last night..."

"It's red shrimp rice."

"Dad said before that he would take me to eat, but I haven't found any place to sell red shrimp rice."

"The red shrimp rice is really delicious!"

Hana's voice was small and trembling slightly at the beginning, however, as the content increased, the trembling in the little girl's voice gradually disappeared, just like a naughty child who forgot to tell her parents about her whereabouts, She told me everything she did yesterday.

Probably I am used to talking with my parents this way. It didn’t take long for her voice to have no fear at all, and all that was left was the familiarity and casualness of talking to her parents. Afterwards, the little girl’s tone was a little bit Happy.

"Ms. Zora said that there is red shrimp rice tonight, that...can I eat it again?"

Like any kid who tells his parents where to hang out, Hana jerked her head up when she said something happy, and met her parents' livid and rotting faces.

Ronggui watched helplessly as the little girl's eyes trembled again, and sadness floated into her eyes again.

The two parents who had become zombies naturally couldn't speak, they didn't say a word, one went upstairs stiffly, and the other went to the next room.

Only then did Ronggui realize: Just now...these two zombies are waiting for a child, right?

There was no sign of Hana anywhere in the room, and they couldn't help but come out. If they came back later, probably...they would leave the house and look for Hana outside, right?

Dazed, Ronggui stood at the door for a long, long time.

Until Xiaomei pulled him up and walked towards the upstairs studio.

On this day, Xiaomei has been working with Hana's father who has turned into a zombie. One of the two "persons" uses one to speculate on the ingredients of the powerful nutrient solution, while the other is constantly extracting something.

Seeing Xiaomei being so brave, Ronggui also went all out and cleaned up the housework with the female zombie.

Hana watched for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to join Ronggui. The three of them—a real person, a robot, and a zombie... also clumsily started doing housework.

They lived together during the day, and at around three o'clock in the afternoon, when the zombies were about to go back, Ronggui drove the rhubarb to send them back.

After finishing work at night, Ronggui packed the little girl back home.

Although the sheets are dry, Mrs. Zora has breakfast and dinner that look terrible but taste delicious~

Two weeks passed in such a horrible, weird and normal way. During these two weeks, little girl Hana was successfully fed by Mrs. Zora and gained two catties, and she also learned the correct way to remove and wash the sheets. Besides, she and Ronggui also learned how to tie pigtails!

She can do a lot of things for female zombies!

You can even take the initiative to lean over and try to pick up the cooking pot when your mother is cooking!

Although it was unpalatable, Hana finally cooked the first pot of rice in her life.The appearance is inherited from the mother, and it is as ugly as ever. The taste... Unfortunately, it is also inherited from the mother, and the taste is exactly the same.

However, the little girl was very happy. If it wasn't for Ronggui and the others who couldn't taste it, she must have stuffed the spoon into Ronggui's mouth excitedly~

She also raised the spoon towards her parents, but...

It was the stiff face after the death of the parents.

Under the watchful eyes of four people, Hana ate the rice she cooked for the first time, and then——

The next day, the female zombie, Hana's mother, did not come back.

After that day, she never came back.
