The Sabbath Chapter 96: Rush
Xiaomei searched all the shops in that alley through the map.
Actually, the so-called "all shops" are very simple - there is only one pharmacy in that alley.
Belongs to the pharmacy of the current chairman of the Sisiro City Pharmacist Association. It can be said that in the entire Sisiro City, apart from the most famous shop of Hana's father, this pharmacy is famous.
In fact, he has been to this pharmacy—this is the first store they went to buy a strong nutrient solution, because the queue was too long and they couldn't make a reservation, so they went out after asking .
The reason why they didn't recognize them immediately was because they passed through another section of the alley at that time.
It sells a wide variety of medicines, and it also sells herbal medicines to pharmacists. It can be said to be an authoritative pharmacy in this city.
A face of a middle-aged man appeared in Xiaomei's mind instantly: a thin face with no wrinkles, a ruddy and shiny face, which seemed to be a gentle and gentle appearance, but the eyebrows were extraordinarily thick, and the eyebrows below were reflected The eyes are extraordinarily bright and sharp, coupled with a head of snow-white silver hair, making this person's age a bit of a mystery.
If it was Ronggui, he would probably have to add comments such as "handsome" and "temperament" to this appearance, but when it came to Xiaomei, he would only grasp the other person's appearance characteristics.
This is exactly what the president of the Pharmacists Association looks like.
Of course, Xiaomei has never met each other. When he and Ronggui went to the store, as ordinary customers, the other party would not come out to receive them. The experience of soaking in the library.
The books in the library are almost all the works of the pharmacists in the city, including those of past pharmacists who have passed away, and naturally there are also works of modern pharmacists who are still alive. Most of the works are just plain pharmacists' research experience, and some pharmacists even attach photos or portraits to the books.
The pharmacist happens to have a picture of himself in one of his books.
Xiaomei even knew the name of that person, that person's name was Huo Linde.
"It's here! Dad is here! This is Mrs. Zora's home! It's the grandma who cooks delicious meals for me every day! Agui Xiaomei and I have been living here together recently." What broke Xiaomei's thinking was Hana's cheerful little voice.
Rhubarb stopped at the sound, and when Xiaomei locked the rhubarb, Ronggui and Hana had already helped Mr. Hana down who had regained his sluggish state.
Just as Ronggui fumbled for the key with one hand, the door was already opened from the inside.
It is Lady Zora.
Hearing the sound of Dahuang parking, she held up an umbrella and came from the house to pick them up.
"Come in." Turning sideways to let Ronggui and the others pass by, Mrs. Zora stood at the door and looked around slowly, then gently closed the door again.
Dinner is already ready in the house.
The only person eating was Hana. The little girl was talking to the old woman about the rumors she heard from Dongchun today, and she was eating big mouthfuls.
"Eat slowly", "Don't shake your feet while eating" While listening carefully to what Hana said, Mrs. Zora habitually corrected the little guy's bad movements.
As she spoke, Hana tried to correct what she said.
After all, Ronggui secretly told her in private: "Have you noticed that Mrs. Zora's usual posture is particularly good-looking?"
"It looks like it has been practiced!"
"I went to a training class to correct my bad posture. The teacher there is not as good-looking as Mrs. Zora's posture."
"In order to become more beautiful in the future, you can study hard!"
What Ronggui said, Hana took it very seriously.
Furthermore, on the dining table—yes, since Hana eats here twice a day, Mrs. Zora simply put a round table in the living room. The workmanship is very delicate and gorgeous wooden dining table, it looks like good wood and good craftsmanship! Still heavy!
The reason why we know the weight of the table is because Mrs. Zhuo La asked Ronggui and Xiaomei to move this table out of the warehouse.
They are now sitting at the dining table together. Although there is only one person eating, everyone else is still sitting there. Even Hana's father, who came for the first time today, got a seat.
Hana secretly looked at the people at the table while eating: Needless to say, Mrs. Zora's demeanor is very elegant! But Agui's is not bad either! Even the posture of tilting the head makes people feel very cute; and Xiaomei
Hana blinked her eyes. She and Agui had the same body type, but Xiaomei and Agui were completely different. Their every move was also pleasing to the eye. How should I put it? Hana thinks that Xiaomei's posture is particularly elegant, and her elegance is completely different from Mrs. Zora's, giving people a sense of boldness and high pressure.
Everyone on the table looked so good-looking, which made Hana, who was used to being lively at home, couldn't help but want to standardize her posture.
"Fortunately, the big man and your mother have rested in peace, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen next--" Hearing Hana's words, Ronggui explained something beside him, and Mrs. Zora quickly Just sort things out. We have experienced many things together, and now they no longer bully her about many things, and Mrs. Zora knows about Hana's family.
In fact, because she knew these things, she treated Hana better.
Frowning, her expression became a little more serious: "I always feel that this matter will not end so soon, maybe they will come to check at night."
Turning her head, she looked in the direction of Ronggui and Xiaomei: "We still have to hide Hana's father underground."
Ronggui has always believed in women's sixth sense, so after Hana finished eating, they walked to the backyard led by Mrs. Zora.
Ms. Zora's herb garden is really big. They found out later that Mrs. Zora had bought the entire alley. Because she couldn't take care of it, many houses hadn't been demolished yet.
However, the area of the herbal medicine field that has been bulldozed and cultivated is already very large.
"Bury him here. The land here never uses chemical fertilizers or insecticides. The leaves of the herbs on it are huge, so the rain doesn't seep in too much, and the soil will be more comfortable." Lead them to go all the way. When she came to a herb field full of big leafy green plants, Mrs. Zora stopped and pointed to the medicine field in front of her: "You can dig anywhere, but remember to fill in the herbs after digging, so that even if they want to come You can't guess anything by looking at the medicine field, the leaves of this herb are very large, and can easily cover up the traces of excavation."
Ronggui: This is an expert! ! !
In the dark night, two little robots dug a pit in the dark in the medicine field. Hana held her father's hand tightly. When Ronggui and the others finished digging the pit, they put Hana's father in again .
The burial process is actually a bit scary.
From the beginning to the end, Hana's father never closed his eyes, just stared at Hana, opened his mouth again and again, but he couldn't say anything.
Until the black soil buried his head.
It was Hana who covered her father's head with soil.
When the little girl stood up again and took Ronggui's hand, she said in a very low voice: "Actually, this is what I'm most afraid of."
"Every time I bury my father again, I am most afraid that my father will open his eyes and look at me."
"Whenever this time comes, I feel very sad."
"It would be great if you can make an antidote to the elixir."
"Although I miss my father very much, I want him to truly rest in peace, and stop waking up from a deep sleep over and over again because of me and other things."
Hearing what the little girl said, Ronggui turned his head in surprise.
He was about the same height as Hana, and when he turned his head, he could just look straight at Hana.
Hana who said such a sentence had deep eyes and a calm face. At this moment, Hana didn't look like a child at all.
She looks more like a big kid now.
Standing on tiptoe, Ronggui patted Hana's head.
The four returned to the big house under the guidance of Mrs. Zora. Coincidentally, just as Mrs. Zora was carrying the dishes to wash, there was another knock on the door.
Signing Ronggui and the others to stay still, Mrs. Zora put down the plate, took off her dishwashing gloves, and opened the door.
Soon, the conversation between Mrs. Zora and the visitor came in from the door——
"What is it?"
"Hi ma'am, this is a temporary security check."
"Didn't you come here once in the afternoon?"
"That's right, but the inspection this afternoon was not thorough enough. Some people secretly brought back their dead relatives after the inspection, and then"
"Just now there was an incident where ordinary people were attacked by undead people turned into by their relatives. The situation is already very serious, so please forgive me, we have to check again"
There were footsteps at the door, and it seemed that Madam Zora had let them in.
There are eight people in total, seven men and one woman, and Chirrut is not among them.
Seeing the three children in the room, to be precise, one child and two robots, they were stunned, and then the leader asked Mrs. Zora: "These three are"
"Tenants." Mrs. Zora answered their questions concisely.
"Is that so?" The man nodded, and then pulled out a large notebook from behind.
Just as he took out his pen and was about to say something, there was another violent brake sound outside the door.
In the deep alley with only one resident, the sound of the brakes was really ear-piercing. When everyone couldn't help but look out the door, the movement of the man's hand also stopped.
Then they saw Chirrut running in from the door, sweating profusely.
Seeing his colleagues already standing in the room, Qilu nodded and then smiled: "You guys are responsible for inspecting this area today"
The leader nodded: "Yes, it's you, aren't you in charge of the eastern region? Why did you come here?"
Qilu smiled again, he pointed to Ronggui and the others: "Isn't this my friend here?"
"They came from outside, and their family members are sick, and they are waiting for them to buy medicine and go back. Didn't I hear that the city will be closed tonight? Anyone whose name is registered in the book-" Qilu said He said, pointing to the booklet in the man's hand: "It will be regarded as the current population in the city, and they will not be able to leave before the closure order ends."
As if joking, Chirrut uttered an important message!
If at the beginning Ronggui was still asking the question "Who is sick in his family?", now he has fully understood: the so-called "the patient is waiting for medicine at home" is just an excuse. He ran over as soon as he heard the news and tipped them off!
But he was still one step late, his colleagues had already arrived, and they were already preparing to register their names. Chirrut could only make up a reason for them to see if things could be reversed—
Xiaomei's eyes immediately aimed at the booklet in the opponent's hand, and Ronggui
Ronggui glanced at Xiaomei.
"You are a bit out of order." The person holding the booklet frowned and said something unhappy.
Qilu kept laughing: "Isn't this a friend and his parents are very kind to me, I plan to save enough points to play with them in the future."
The place where the people of Sisiro can accumulate points to go must be a city with a higher level--seemingly unintentional, Chirrut gave those people another hint.
The man finally waved his hand: "Let's go to the house to check first, okay?"
He said to Madam Zora, Madam Zora nodded, and then he led the remaining seven people upstairs.
After they left, Qilu immediately pulled Xiaomei and Ronggui into a corner, connecting Hana and Mrs. Zora, and he quickly and quietly stated his reason for coming:
"What I just said is the truth! After knowing what happened in Sisiro, the main city above has already issued a city closure order for Sisiro! Before the antidote is invented, we can't do it right. I can't get out anymore!"
"We, Hana and Mrs. Zora, are all locals, and our names have always been on the register. We can't escape anyway. If we seal it, we will seal it. Anyway, there is everything in the city, and we are not interested in traveling. .It's you"
"I don't know that this city will be sealed until the year of the monkey, so let's go!"
"Since you are here to buy medicine, you must be in a hurry to take medicine, unless you plan to settle in Sisiro City."
"Leave now."
"Now, when the city closure order has just been issued and the implementation is not too strict, this is the only chance for you to go!" Qilu hurried and whispered.
"Ah?!" It was Ronggui and Hana who made the voices.
Ronggui immediately felt that his hand was tightly held by the little girl, his two big eyes were full of reluctance, Ronggui heard Hana whispering to himself:
"Gui, are you and Xiaomei leaving?"
Ronggui looked at the little girl's big eyes suddenly covered with mist.
It's just water mist, it didn't merge into water droplets and fall down.
"Qilu is right, Agui, you and Xiaomei must leave now." The person who replaced Ronggui to answer Hana's question was Mrs. Zora.
"I only heard about such things as the city closure order once when I was a child. After the city closure order was implemented, the city has not been opened for 50 years. It has been a long time. Agui, you are not planning to repair yourself And Xiaomei's body? In addition to the strong nutrient solution, you still need to go to the surgeon, don't you?"
"Your bodies can't wait fifty years, you have to go." With her thin lips tightly pressed down, Mrs. Zora directly helped them make a decision.
"But but..." Ronggui looked at Mrs. Zora, and finally his eyes fell on Hana's face.
"Don't worry about Hana, I'm still here! No matter what, I can still live for a while, even if I fail, aren't Chiru and the others still there?" Mrs. Zora said.
Ronggui's eyes fell firmly on Hana's little face, he looked at the little girl and stared at himself, and then
Ronggui suddenly felt that his hand was let go.
Two big tears finally fell from the little girl's eyes.
Wiping it off with the back of her hand, Hana said loudly, "I'm going to help Agui and Xiaomei pack their luggage!"
"Then I'll go up and tell my colleagues that you have to leave the city immediately!" Chirrut also took action.
"I have something for you too." Nodding slightly, Madam Zora also turned around and left?
Watching the backs of the three people disappear into the room, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei as if asking for help, a little dazed and flustered, he asked in a trembling voice: "Xiaomei, are we really leaving?"
He knew that he would leave sooner or later, but he never thought that he would leave under such circumstances! Such haste! So——
Ronggui, who was in a panic, met Xiaomei's sky blue eyes.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but at that moment, he always felt that Xiaomei at that moment was also in a hurry.
