The Sabbath Chapter 87: One is like a father, the other is like a mother
Ronggui turned around in surprise, he really didn't guess.
However, Xiaomei's reaction was much calmer. The metal face of the little robot with blue eyes was reflected on the car window, and it was extraordinarily quiet. So he said that his current expression was as expressionless as ever, it might be better to say that he had expected something long ago.
The two little feet were careful not to touch the lace-covered carpet in the car, the little girl looked down at her dirty shoes, and said after a long while: "You guys came to my store to buy something, right? I was introduced here, right? My house is like this now, and visitors from outside will not patronize me. With the introduction of the old man, I can barely survive by selling some of the remaining potions made by my father."
"What kind of medicine do you want to buy? If the expiration date is not exceeded, I can sell it to you at a low price. If the expiration date is exceeded, I will keep it and sell it to others."
Ronggui:
Is it not good to sell expired medicine at such a young age?
However, such a young girl has no father, no mother, and no welfare institution. How can she survive without selling expired medicine?
The same experience as an orphan made Ronggui suddenly feel sympathetic to the little girl in front of him.
His sympathy was completely expressed on his face, seeing that Ronggui would not continue to ask, Xiaomei suddenly said:
"We need a strong nutrient solution, do you have it here?"
With a very businesslike attitude, Xiaomei said this in the same tone as in the previous two stores, and it has not changed because the current owner is a little loli.
Then the little girl stretched out the back of her hand and wiped her tears again, took out a tattered little book from the breast pocket of her clothes, carefully flipped through several pages, and finally said to Xiaomei like an adult: "Yes, but they are all expired."
"It's okay if it's expired. I'll buy it at the original price for how much you usually sell it for." Xiaomei's voice was calm, but to Ronggui's ears, it sounded like a dirty word!
As expected of a male robot who has passed the qualification certificate and can get a high salary.
Ronggui's mind is simple, he can only think about it when he heard Xiaomei's words, but the little girl behind him is obviously more flexible than him.
After hearing Xiaomei's words, the little girl raised her head immediately.
"Why do you want to buy expired medicine? Is it possible?"
"You are a pharmacist, can you copy?"
Ronggui: =mouth=! ! !
Is this still possible? !
Ronggui's head turned to Xiaomei: Xiaomei's expression was always expressionless.
"Theoretically, as long as there is a finished product, it can be copied." To save Ronggui's face, Xiaomei explained a little.
As expected of Xiaomei—Ronggui nodded immediately.
It's best to be able to do it yourself. Ronggui didn't think too much about leaving the city early, he just thought: the pharmacist in this city can make a medical accident at the level of a zombie siege cough cough , although the daughter of the instigator is in the car, but this can't change the fact, and Ronggui who just heard about the expired medicine just now feels that the current pharmacy is too unreliable. Compared with the pharmacists outside, he still thinks Xiaomei is reliable
I never saw anything that troubled Xiaomei along the way, Ronggui was easily persuaded by Xiaomei's explanation. However, the little girl at the back was more thoughtful than him. The little girl sniffed her snot, and her big eyes fixed on the back of Xiaomei's head. The little girl continued to ask:
"The medicines in our city of Sisiro are not ordinary medicinal materials. The medicinal materials here are completely made of plants. An ordinary pill looks simple, but it takes hundreds of steps to make it. The secret method, each ingredient is different medicinal materials, different heat and different extraction time, the effect of the medicine is completely different. The reason why the medicine in our city of Sisiro is hard to find is because our medicine cannot be copied at all! Outside The mechanism can't be cracked by ingredients at all!"
"Common medicine is very difficult to make, let alone powerful nutrient solution! Powerful nutrient solution requires very high skills and experience from pharmacists. There are no more than four pharmacists in the whole city who can make strong nutrient solution. My father It is the most powerful among them!"
Even under such circumstances, the little girl's tone could easily tell her pride.
She is proud of her father!
"It's really difficult, but it's not completely inoperable." Faced with the little girl's questioning, Xiaomei obviously didn't intend to explain further. He asked calmly, "Just tell me if you can sell it, and how much it costs."
Different from Ronggui, who can hardly be seen as a robot, Xiaomei's appearance is almost the same as Ronggui's. However, he feels cold and mechanical, and there is almost no evidence that he is a living person.
When Xiaomei stared at her coldly, the little girl shrank instinctively.
Ronggui saw her clenched her little fist, as if to cheer herself up, and then, the little guy raised his head again, bravely looking directly at Xiaomei:
"I don't want money, the medicine can be given to you for free, but, as a price, you have to teach me how to make a powerful nutrient solution!"
Like the sky, the water-like eyes stared blankly at the little girl.
At this moment, Ronggui next to him couldn't help becoming nervous.
Until Xiaomei said again: "Yes."
Therefore, Ronggui and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
With such a guarantee, the relationship between Ronggui and the little girl became much closer. Kneeling on the passenger seat, with two mechanical arms hugging the seat, Ronggui simply turned around completely and chatted with the little girl. up.
"Why do you want to learn how to make a strong nutrient solution with Xiaomei like this? Don't you know how?" Rong Gui felt a little regretful just after saying this.
Too bad this child is so young, maybe she hasn't started learning yet, and her father has passed away, maybe he died suddenly, and maybe he didn't have time to teach before he died!
It's true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted—Ronggui scolded himself in his heart.
However, the little girl did not appear to be hit. On the contrary, because Xiaomei agreed to her request, as if she had let go of a burden in her heart, her expression looked much more relaxed than before:
"In Sisiro City, basically every family has a pharmacy. Although the production methods of many medicines are public, the details are different, so the medicines of each family are very different, and there are many unique secret medicines. , This is the secret medicine passed down in the family, in order to pass on these ancestral medicines, every child has been playing in the studio at home since he can walk."
"Our first toy was a test tube, the most commonly used container for pharmaceuticals."
Recounting the traditions of her own city, the little girl looked a little nostalgic. However, when she talked about herself——
"I have one too, but"
The little girl who was still narrating tactfully was stunned suddenly. Ronggui saw two big teardrops reappeared in the girl's eye sockets, his eyes were flattened, and the next second, the little guy was crying.
"My strength is too great, I broke the test tube!"
Ronggui: Uh, this sounds painful! But is it necessary to cry so sadly?
Although he sympathized, Ronggui was a little puzzled.
Then, he couldn't understand what the little girl said next:
"Did you see my mother just now? My mother is very beautiful. Back then, my mother was the most beautiful beauty in Sisiro City."
Ronggui:?
"My father looks very ordinary, but my father studies well."
Ronggui:? ?
"When I was my age, my grandfather passed away, and my father not only inherited the family business, but also doubled the size of the store."
"Papa is the best pharmacist in Cicero!"
Ronggui:? ? ?
Question marks jumped out one by one, Rong Gui felt that he could not keep up with the little guy's thoughts at all.
Until——
"A good-looking mother married a smart father. At that time, everyone said that the children of parents must be smart and beautiful. But—"
The little girl's tears stopped, and in the next second, more tears poured out, and she was about to collapse!
"But my face looks like my father, but my brain is like my mother!!!"
Ronggui: =-=
"My mother's only advantage is that she is good-looking. In fact, she can't do anything, and she can't do housework well. Look at the tablecloth in my kitchen, right?"
"She's pretty" and she's still very girlish, Rong Gui added inwardly.
"Dad did it all." The little girl cried.
Ronggui:
"Did you see that Dad's clothes look exquisite and fashionable? After being buried in the ground for so long, other people's clothes are rotten, but my parents' clothes are still in good condition."
Ronggui: "It's quite strong, and looks fashionable"
He said this, but he already had a terrible premonition in his heart, and the next second, as expected——
"The clothes are also cut by my father. My father's clothes, my mother's skirt, my clothes, and Xiao Nini's underpants are all sewn by my father." The little girl continued to wipe her tears.
As a side note, Ronggui later found out that Xiao Nini was referring to the doll on the little girl's bed.
Ronggui:
This kind of pattern where one person is omnipotent and the other person knows nothing but looks is familiar?
Ronggui couldn't help looking in Xiaomei's direction, and——
With a bang, it met Xiaomei's eyes.
In addition to being beautiful, I can also sing! With a weak look, Ronggui said pitifully (with his eyes).
Xiaomei
Xiaomei turned her head back decisively.
"In short, I look like an ordinary-looking father, and my mind is like a brainless mother. I can't learn anything my father taught me. I want to use my appearance to deceive someone who is as capable as my father to be my son-in-law. Family business, I can't do it even if I look at it." Thinking of the sad things, the little girl cried more and more sadly, so that lumps of snot fell on the dirty shoes she was holding tightly in her hands.
Although the shoes are dirty, the stitches are delicate, and there are small flowers embroidered on them. These shoes should also be handwritten by the girl's father, right?
The face of the zombie with glasses flashed across his mind again, and that face gradually overlapped with the face of the middle-aged man in the photo of the little girl's room.
The stiff green face faded away, and gradually turned into a man's face that was a bit serious, but with a hint of tenderness.
And that female zombie is really pretty after thinking about it
Suddenly his heart softened, Ronggui handed a small handkerchief to the little girl.
"Don't cry, your face is full of tears and snot, it doesn't look good"
"Don't worry, it's the same in our family. I don't know anything, but Xiaomei is very good! He can definitely make a powerful nutrient, you have to study hard! Just in case you are really like me If you are really stupid and can't learn, there is still me."
"I'm the best at dressing up people. It's said that a beautiful person is three-pointed by foundation and seven-pointed by clothing. I'll teach you how to take care of yourself and how to dress up. In the future, you can also abduct a smart boyfriend based on your looks. Come back and help!"
As a clumsy person who can do everything, no one can understand the pain of "I can't learn by life or death" better than Ronggui.
He didn't say to the little girl, "You must be fine", "You can definitely learn", and he directly helped the little girl think of another way to go.
Just do it when he thinks about it, he is now planning how to dress up the little girl.
Listening to the various methods introduced by Ronggui, the little girl held a handkerchief in her hand, tears and snot still smeared on her face, but her eyes looked at Ronggui with moist eyes, completely attracted by Ronggui up.
The little guy was obviously relieved by such honor.
However, Ronggui's beauty method is too complicated, far beyond the comprehension of a little girl, she can't understand it.
However, not being able to understand did not prevent her from continuing to listen with her head tilted.
Seeing that the little guy just listened to his own words, and the snot on his face was almost dry and caked on his face, Ronggui had no choice but to stretch out his hand, grabbed the handkerchief handed to the little girl just now, and carefully rubbed it on her face. Rub it on your face.
Forcibly spray the snot into the handkerchief that Ronggui put in front of her nose, and when Ronggui took the handkerchief away, the little guy blew through his nostrils: It's clear.
Then—
Staring at Ronggui with bright eyes, and looking at Xiaomei who was calm all the time, the little girl suddenly spoke:
"You two are like my parents!"
Ronggui:
Xiaomei: =-=
After speaking, the little guy became happy again.
"Go back, go back! I'll bring you the last batch of powerful nutrient solution that Dad made from the warehouse immediately."
With a handkerchief that was heavy and full of snot and tears in his hand, Ronggui was a little speechless.
But so what? As long as the little guy is happy.
He tilted his head and put the handkerchief on Xiao Hei's head. Ronggui decided to go back and wash the handkerchief and continue to use it. It's not just the handkerchief that needs to be cleaned, the little girl also has a lot of things to wash
Xiaomei's next job is to decipher the powerful nutrient solution left by the little girl's father. Of course, he can't help in this regard, but if he can't help, he can't be idle.
During this period of time, he will help the little girl clean up the house.
Thinking of the slightly dirty tablecloth in the kitchen, thinking of the dishes and bowls that have been cleaned but re-pasted with green slime and black bugs, Ronggui silently calculated his future workload.
