The Sabbath Chapter 83: Rented a small attic~


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

It’s 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. The medicines sold in the store were simply and rudely written, without even a store name, and as the rhubarb continued to drive inward, more stores did not even use signboards.

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

Although it is the body of a robot, it cannot feel the temperature of the outside world at all, but from the water droplets that often condense on the body, it is known 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 la

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. Long ropes were pulled out between them, some of which were empty, but there were always clothes, bed sheets and so on hanging on some ropes.

This thing is a clothesline - Ronggui immediately understood.

Ronggui raised his head, curiously deduced the local dress style from the clothes hanging outside, after a while, he passed under several flowery trousers, almost got his head covered by the dripping water on the trousers, Ronggui Quickly closed the skylight.

"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 I first arrive in a strange city, it is 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 the various underwear in the air, Xiaomei didn't speak, but rolled up all the car windows on Dahuang's body.

Looking disliked by the underwear hanging outside, Ronggui shrugged.

The drops of water from all kinds of underwear and bed sheets hit Da Huang's forehead, and then dripped down 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 too 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 have 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 alley was completely covered by dense and lush plants.

There are fewer houses in this alley than the alleys 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.

Although he explained it this way, he was a little scared after all. The concrete manifestation was that his body couldn't help moving closer to Xiaomei's direction. The closer he got, the closer he almost passed the gap between the two seats and sat directly on Xiaomei's. The driver's seat is 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, which is 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 will rent.

It looks shabby.

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

"Hehe, the rent probably 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 that Xiaomei and himself were 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 should 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.

Honestly speaking, this kind of "seeing" is more terrifying than not being able to see it!

Before he got used to it, Xiaomei spoke again.

"That person came out."

Xiaomei's voice is not loud, flat and indifferent, in a dark and quiet environment, there is an indescribable weirdness.

Thickened 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 sounded again without any emotion.

The right hand "swipe" to grab Xiaomei's cloak, Ronggui's tension reached the extreme.

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

Then, when the fear in Ronggui's heart reached its peak, and he almost wanted to drag Xiaomei back to Rhubarb—

There is a "squeak".

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 blade, she looked down at them with white eyes.

Wait——

White eyes?

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

With a "click", he fainted from fright.

The next thing-

He doesn't know.

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

"He, your companion, what's wrong?" The old man inside the door 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 to speak: "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 indifferently.

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.

——

Thus, when Ronggui quietly "woke up" on the socket, Xiaomei had already done everything, moved all the luggage from Dahuang's body, and started to organize things.

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

"Ah" looked at the unfamiliar roof in confusion, Ronggui didn't wake up for a while.

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

First of all, 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.

Ronggui looked at the lamp for a long time, 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. Look carefully, It's still wood.

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

"Where is this place?" Scratching his head, Ronggui asked Xiaomei next to him.

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

"Inside 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 to Xiaomei's side in a panic, Ronggui asked softly, "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, and with a "click", he pressed his body against Xiaomei's back

"The rent is right, the room is right, why not 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 Yedehan. 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 was stunned for a moment, then asked again.

"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 dilapidated." Reluctant 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 large 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 began to move the quilt, and he moved the quilt Ronggui hangs on him, dragging his feet on the floor, wherever Xiaomei goes, Ronggui hangs on him and follows him: "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!

It's weird and satisfying! ! ! !

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 has already found the quilt and moved it over. Back in front of the laid sheets, Xiaomei knelt down again and put the quilt on. Then he answered Ronggui calmly: "She has a serious illness. White eye disease."

"Huh?"

"A variant of cataract, manifested by fogging of the cornea, with a thick, irremovable albuginea, and progressively worsening visual acuity until complete blindness."

"Ah" hugging Xiaomei's neck, Ronggui was stunned: "Is that so."

The most feared question has been scientifically explained, 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 my heart was answered, and Ronggui suddenly regained his sense of normalcy.

Peeling herself off 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 went back to the house happily, humming a little tune while packing up with Xiaomei, he decided to go on an adventure with Xiaomei after work

Xiaomei:

Xiaomei is very, very used to it.

In this way, they also chose their foothold 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 an independent staircase and a small piece of land under the staircase.

Ronggui feels that the life between himself and Xiaomei is getting better

Happy!
