The Sabbath Chapter 88: The guy in the store

When the rhubarb ride returned to the place where it left before, the zombies that had surrounded there had already left.

To be precise, it was "leaved".

Ronggui saw a lot of people wearing the local costumes of Cicero again. Their delicate eyebrows and fair skin made them look like locals. They still had a few zombies in custody, and a car was waiting next door, probably an **** car.

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

It was only now that Ronggui knew the little girl's name.

The little girl just nodded without saying a word. When she was in the car just now, Ronggui had already helped her clean up her little face, so the little girl looks clean now, and she hasn't cried at all. Mark of.

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 is used to her attitude, the short-haired young man didn't take it seriously. Still smiling, but already a little more wary.

"Hey! Are these two strangers your new friends? Or guests?" He asked cheerfully.

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 seemed to be made of metal. The locals are accustomed to using medicine to treat diseases and do not use metal substitutes at all, so this is an important criterion for distinguishing them from locals.

Little girl—well, Ronggui now knows her name is Hana, turned 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 new hire. buddy."

When she said this, the little girl puffed out her chest reservedly, pretending to be a boss, but her aura weakened after a while, and she looked back at Ronggui Xiaomei again, and found two people There was no other reaction, so I reluctantly 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.

He said 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'm your senior."

He pointed to the shop of Hana's house in front of him, 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 See me often."

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

"Thank you, my name is Ronggui. Nice to meet you!" It also jumped out smoothly.

Undoubtedly, there is no handshake ceremony in the local area. The young man named Qilu looked at Ronggui's outstretched hand, and was taken aback. His hand was immediately held by the little robot.

Still shaking up and down.

It was only then that he realized that this was probably the etiquette of the other party.

Because of the shock, the slightly opened thin lips quickly bent into a tiny one, Qilu said to Ronggui: "It's nice to meet you too."

"I come here every day, you can ask me for help if you have something to do." With official business in hand, Qilu didn't stop for a long time, and repeated what he said before, waved his hand, and walked away gracefully.

"He's such a passionate person!" Waving Qilu goodbye, Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei, "He said he would come here every day, and you can find him if you need anything."

Xiaomei glanced at him, but said nothing.

He is telling you that you come to patrol every day, don't think bad things about the little girl, otherwise——

I can't hear the warning in the other party's words at all, and only Ronggui can understand the superficial meaning.

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

"However, that person is a buddy here?" Immediately afterwards, Rong Gui wentssip.

Nodding hesitantly, the little girl unlocked the door and said, "Qilu worked here when Dad was still there, but after Dad passed away, 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 to answer Ronggui's question: "I don't know, they Qilu, and Yani, Dongchun, They are all very good people, but once Dad is gone, they 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 so beautiful and tall. Tall, with a small dimple on the left, and slightly raised eyebrows."

Ronggui described the beauty of the beauty clerk in detail.

The little girl curled her lips: "That person should be Yani. 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 and in the direction Yani left.

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

"I don't know either." Hana lowered her head and said softly.

Ronggui couldn't figure it out.

He is a simple person. If he likes someone, he will try his best to treat the other person 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? ?

Let such a little girl live alone in such a big house, face the dead parents who still go home every day, see their terrible appearance, even if they know that they are their relatives, but When you actually see it, you still get scared, right?

Scared, sad and nostalgic, this young child is full of contradictions.

Continuing on like this, sooner or later this child will develop psychological problems, and maybe he will become an antisocial personality!

Unable to understand, 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, and 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. , both parents have passed away, in this case, if there are three shop assistants who are in their prime years, people outside may suspect that they have ulterior motives."

"Other people will think they stayed for the secret recipe left by your father, or for the shop itself."

"If you have the ability to make pharmaceuticals and can continue to operate the store as a store owner, they don't need to leave. However, if you can't take over the store, it is the right choice for them 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 as shop assistants from out of town."

After saying this, Xiaomei fell silent.

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

"Is that so?" After listening to Xiaomei's words, Ronggui suddenly realized, and looked forward to Hana, and saw that the little girl was also thoughtful.

Seeing that Ronggui and the little girl were thinking about each other, but they were all standing at the door. After cleaning the soles of the feet, he said:

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

"Ah good, 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. Rong and Gui 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.

Completely different from the small basement in Xiaomei's hometown, the 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 like the library that Ronggui visited in his previous life!

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

Compared to the tall frame, 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 can be dazzled, but the little girl is familiar with the way. She walked to the last shelf, squatted down, and pulled the of a door.

It turns out that there is a secret door inside!

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

The medicine in the jar is shining colorfully under the light.

Ronggui immediately thought of mermaid scales rolling in the sun and sea water

What a fantastic 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 owner of the optical shop. studio.

Xiaomei is too short, standing in front of the workbench is almost 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 startled and said.

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 really special, many instruments can't be mastered for a while, so he is not in a hurry, returning to Rhubarb once, he took out his own toolbox. After patching together for a while, he assembled a few instruments by himself.

Drawing out 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.

The eyes are confused and full of nostalgia, she seems 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, Ronggui was the one who interrupted the little girl's thoughts.

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

Well, actually, she didn't choose 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.

Put on the same cute glove headband, and the little girl started cleaning with Ronggui!

They first 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 placed in the cabinet It was also dirty, and 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. Fortunately, Dad made me a lot of sheets and sheets before." The little girl was obviously a little embarrassed when someone saw her dirty sheets, and she explained in a low voice.

"However, since last month, there are no replacement sheets and quilts. Just put on the earliest 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.

But——

Ronggui looked at the blushing little girl next to her. The little girl is still young. It is already good for a person to know how to change the quilt cover. 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, let's wash them?" Raising a finger, Ronggui looked very "virtuous" and said to the little girl.

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

Then—

Ronggui, who looked very smart just now, was trapped in the quilt for some reason when he took off the quilt cover and couldn't get out.

No way! The little girl's quilt cover is too big!

Hearing Ronggui's cry for help from inside the quilt cover, the little girl struggled clumsily for a long time before finding his position, and the two equally clumsy people took even longer to straighten out the quilt cover, distinguishing the inside from the outside. After finally getting enough time to put it in the washing machine, they encountered a problem again.

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 is no other way, Ronggui can only call down Xiaomei who is busy in the studio with a mournful face. Xiaomei fixes the washing machine without saying a word and does not leave. He puts washing powder in it, and finally presses the cleaning button to ensure He had already started working, and 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.
