Sato Ryota reached out and opened the cardboard box, which contained clothes.

"This is her wardrobe?" Sato Ryota retracted his right hand.He looked up and looked around. Behind the door and on the wall, there were nails nailed to hang things, some hung clothes, some hung bags...

Although the room was simple, it was clean and tidy. Ryota Sato reached out and pulled out the chair under the table. It was made of wood, and some wood skin had been torn off the surface.Sato Ryota felt that sitting up must be uncomfortable, and it would be even worse if he scratched his pants!He turned to sit on the bed. This bed was only about 1.3 meters wide, and it was covered with a sheet that looked very poor in quality.It can be seen that this bed sheet has been washed many times, and it must have been used for a long time.The thin quilt was folded into tofu cubes and placed next to the pillow.

Sato Ryota sat down, feeling as if he was sitting on a solid wooden plank.How can you sleep on such a hard bed?What's under it?He lifted the bed sheet and saw that there was a paper shell underneath, and grass under the paper shell. He didn't know what kind of plant the dead grass leaves were.Underneath, is a hard board.

"It's strange, even if the conditions are poor, as long as there are more grass leaves, it will be much softer. This man only spreads such a little grass leaves."

He spread the sheets back indiscriminately, and after sitting for a while, he still felt that the room was unbearably cold. It was winter now, and he lived in such a room without heating.Sleeping on such a hard bed, and that piece of tofu...

Sato Ryota stretched out his hand to open the tofu quilt, wrapped it around his body, and measured its thickness with his hands.

"It's too thin!" Not as thick as my little finger.

At this moment, in the yard outside the house, came the voices of people, the voices were shrill, and they were all women's voices.Sato Ryota didn't like this kind of sound, it was noisy and sharp, which made people uncomfortable.

He opened the door under the quilt and walked out. A group of women in dirty work clothes came back. They were talking to each other. Although they looked tired, they kept talking and laughing.Until some people saw him, they immediately stood still, and the voices that came out of their mouths also stopped.

Slowly, more and more people noticed his existence. They hugged each other's arms and looked at themselves with fear and curiosity.

Ryota Sato stepped forward and asked, "Does anyone know where Ney from Kitajima is?"

People don't feel that they are asking themselves. Although many people have heard it, no one has given him an answer.After a while, the crowd parted naturally, making way for a man, who was Ney.

"Ryota, why are you here?"

"Brother Ney, I finally saw you." Sato Ryota almost ran over.

Ney looked him up and down, "Ryota, whose quilt did you steal?"

"Borrowed! I borrowed it and used it. It's too cold here."

"You have something to do with me?"

"Well, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Just ask me in chat."

"The South Island signal is not good, right? I'm afraid you'll confiscate it for a while."

"I will always receive it." Ney walked forward while talking to Ryota Sato.

"But for this matter, I still think it's better to ask you face to face."

Ney suddenly stood still and turned around to face Ryota Sato, "Where did you get this quilt from?" He raised his chin in the direction of drying clothes, "Stolen someone else's quilt hanging outside?"

"I said it was a loan. Someone gave it to me from the house."

"Who gave it to you."

"I don't know her name, I don't know her."

"Which room?"

"Hey! That room." Sato Ryota also raised his chin and looked behind Ney.

Ney turned away and continued walking, and soon saw the only room with a light on, the door wide open.He stood at the door, "This one?"

"Uh-huh."

"Go back." Ney said flatly.

Sato Ryota walked over unhappily, and was about to step in the door when Ney grabbed him.He looked at Ney suspiciously.

"Shoes off!" Ney said, looking down at his shoes.

"It's cold in her room, and the floor must be cold too!"

"Take off your shoes."

Sato Ryota looked at Ney aggrievedly.

"If it's too cold, you can put on Thai velvet slippers." Ney pointed to the pair of women's slippers about 235 centimeters long at the door.

"What's her name? Terong? You know her?"

Ney didn't return to him, he took off his shoes and went in. With only socks on his feet, he scanned the ground and saw footprints all over the floor. He looked back at the shoes that Ryota Sato took off. "These are all left by you?"

Sato Ryota is wearing women's slippers, with the heels completely outside the shoes. "Could it be that I need to wipe her clean?" Sato Ryota thumped over to the side of the bed with the slippers on, and threw the quilt off her body, ready to leave.

Ney shook his head, went to pull up the quilt and began to tidy.In the process of tidying up, he saw that the corners of the quilt were stained with mud, and looked at Ryota Sato with reproachful eyes.

Sato Ryota had a guilty conscience, he must have accidentally touched the mud when he went out with the quilt on.He bent down and patted the dirt away, "It's dirty here anyway, it doesn't matter if it gets a little bit dirty."

Ney shot a harder look.

"Okay, okay, I will accompany her with a thicker and warmer quilt another day."

Only then did Ney give up, look away, and began to fold the quilt little by little.

"You said Tairong, why didn't she put more straw mats under it, this bed is so hard, isn't it uncomfortable to sleep on?"

In Ney's hands, the quilt turned into the original tofu block.

"Maybe she's in poor health."

"Not in good health? What does it have to do with whether the bed is hard or not?"

"My back hurts, my waist hurts, and my bones hurt all over my body. It's better to sleep on a hard bed."

"Ah...how old is she?"

"Haven't you seen her?"

"It's so dark here, I didn't even see what she looked like. She was still wrapped in a scarf and a hat, and only her two eyes were left outside. Her voice sounded young, but I didn't expect it to be a middle-aged aunt? No more!"

Ney had gone to the door to put on his shoes.

"Go talk to me."

Sato Ryota also followed, and found that the street lights in the yard outside were finally on, but the brightness was still not high.

He couldn't help sighing, "It saves electricity here."

"Because it is winter, the wind on the sea is not as strong as in summer. The electricity generated is not enough. Not only must the power supply of the North Island be guaranteed normally, but also the machinery in the factory must be ensured to run normally. Therefore, here we can only supply power in stages, and there will be frequent interruptions. electricity."

"Oh." Sato Ryota followed behind Ney, his steps were fast.

I haven't seen Ney for many years, Sato Ryota feels that this person's back is taller than before. It seems that it is not appropriate to say that he is taller. In short, he feels different.
