The Sabbath Chapter 89: Red Shrimp Rice
Xiaomei was walking on the lawn in the backyard with a stack of clean sheets in her arms.
When Ronggui and Hana came over to dry the sheets, they accidentally dropped the sheets on the ground. That’s not counting. The lawn here is not an ordinary lawn. It’s not lawn grass but herbs. , A lot of grass seedlings that didn't grow very well broke down at the first sight, Hana didn't say Ronggui, after all, two people fell down at the same time clumsily and crushed the grass, but the little girl's eyes shriveled again, It was so easy to ask, Ronggui only heard the little girl say: "This was planted by my father before."
Who is Ronggui Ronggui? Planting an apple seedling can make the apple seedling abandon the house and grow to the landlord's house downstairs. At best, he can plant a ground bean, and he can't take care of finer plants at all.
Fortunately, although Xiaomei is working in the studio, but for the sake of receiving Ronggui's distress signal at any time, he habitually opens the windows and doors, and the voice from outside the door enters Xiaomei's ears. When Ronggui asked for help, Xiaomei appeared at the door.
At this moment, Xiaomei who is 1.1 meters tall is almost 1.8 meters tall in Ronggui's heart!
Picking up the dirty sheets and hanging them on her shoulders, Xiaomei immediately helped Ronggui up, and then picked up the little girl. Finally, Xiaomei re-entered the laundry room with the dirty sheets on, and the washing machine started rumbling again When they came, Xiaomei came over with a small wooden bucket and a small shovel in the other hand.
Squatting near the plants that were broken by two people, he lifted up the broken plants one by one, and used cloth strips to straighten and fix their waists if they were lightly injured, and used cloth strips for those with serious injuries. Scissors cut it down the middle.
"This kind can only be cut, and it will grow back, but it will take a long time." Xiaomei explained.
Then he dug up the soil and looked at the roots of the herb seedlings, dug out some black lumps and threw them into the barrel, Xiaomei said: "I need to order insecticide tomorrow, Mu Xuelan (this The name of the herb) should have been very flexible, and it is a herb whose flexibility is comparable to that of lawn grass. If it breaks, it means that there is something wrong with its growth, and the most likely reason is that there are worms in the roots."
"It's considered that you discovered it early. If the pest infestation continues, the entire Mu Xuelan will be lost."
After Xiaomei finished speaking, she handed the small wooden bucket and shovel to Ronggui, and then went upstairs.
Leaving Ronggui behind, carrying a small wooden bucket and a shovel, he first smiled foolishly: "It turned out that we were a blessing in disguise, and discovered hidden dangers in advance."
Little Hana nodded in agreement, and immediately, the little girl couldn't help but look into the bucket in Ronggui's hand:
"This bug is really fat!" The little girl exclaimed.
Ronggui:? ? ?
"Bug? What kind of bug?" Rong Gui said, following the little girl's gaze to his hand, only to see a **** bug crawling on his hand at some point! Not to mention, he saw several other blacker and fatter worms crawling from the bucket to his hands!
"Ah!!!" With a scream, Ronggui hurriedly threw away the bucket and shovel in his hand.
"Are there any bugs on my body? Are there any bugs on my head? On my back?"
Ronggui ran all over the yard while shouting, and finally Hana reminded him that there might be other bugs in the yard, so he froze and ran towards the house quickly, standing at the door, He couldn't survive.
No way, he is not afraid of anything else, only insects!
Whether it's a black bug with a hard shell, or a long strip of soft and wriggling bug, he is afraid of them all
So, when Xiaomei came down holding the freshly washed sheets, what she saw was Ronggui holding the door frame and refusing to go down to the lawn.
The small wooden bucket and shovel that were handed over to Ronggui before were taken over by Hana. She held the shovel in her left hand and the bucket in her right. Other bugs come.
It can’t be helped. Children of this age basically like to dig bugs. Whether it’s hard shelled or soft and wriggling, in the eyes of children, they are the best toys.
So, in the following time: Xiaomei hangs the sheets, Hana digs for bugs, and Ronggui Ronggui probably feels that he is useless.
"Sorry, you are so busy, you still have to come and help me, did you delay the progress?"
Xiaomei glanced at him sideways: "Don't delay, just now I made a component analyzer with ready-made materials and injected a strong nutrient solution into it. It is now analyzing the possible synthetic routes, and it will probably be available tomorrow morning. Well, I'm free for a while."
Ronggui blinked.
Since Xiaomei is free, it seems that the strength he just hugged the door frame was a bit too much, and the door seems to be unable to close. Why don't you ask Xiaomei to repair the door while you have time?
Thus, in the next effort, Xiaomei began to repair the door.
Xiaomei is busy working, Ronggui is next to him, he wants to help pass the tools, but unfortunately - he doesn't know anything about maintenance, he can't even pass the tools correctly, so he can only dangle beside .
Although it is useless, it is inseparable.
The little girl occasionally glanced in the direction of the two of them while digging the bugs, laughed, and then continued to dig the bugs.
In short, there is no problem that Xiaomei can't solve. The dirty and dilapidated house that looks like a haunted house has become warm again after his cleaning and maintenance.
All the broken light bulbs were replaced with new ones; All the cloth products were removed for cleaning, and the old smell in the room was replaced by a fresh smell of washing powder.
Everything looks perfect!
Except—
"Oops, all the sheets have been washed, you have nothing to cover today." Ronggui was a little dumbfounded when the washing was too thorough and he was about to leave.
After thinking and thinking, Ronggui finally looked at Xiaomei: "Why don't we take Hana back to our rented house for a night?"
Xiaomei didn't say a word.
If you don't say anything, you don't object. After discussing with Hana for a while, Ronggui happily packed Hana and went home.
In fact, it was also his selfishness. He couldn't bear to let the little girl live alone in such a haunted house, not to mention that the little girl's dead parents came back every day in that room.
Although I know that they are my parents, and I miss them very much, but for such a big child, the appearance of the parents is still too scary, fearful and expecting, this child is very entangled every day.
At least just for one day, at least today, he wants to make it easier for the kid.
With that in mind, Ronggui took Hana back to the house he and Xiaomei rented, and—
"Ah Gui, the house you live in looks like a haunted house!" Before getting off the car, the little girl whispered to Rong Gui.
Ronggui:
Oops, forgot about this one.
The house they live in is not much better than the little girl's own house!
A little girl who lives in a "haunted house" can say that the place where she lives is a "haunted house". How "ghost" is this house?
After wandering outside for a day, Ronggui almost forgot about his terrible landlord. Now that he came back, the fear that had disappeared before floated up again from the bottom of his heart. In the end, it was Xiaomei who called him to get off the car. Stiffly jumped off the rhubarb.
Holding Hana's little hand tightly, Ronggui was extremely nervous.
The house with a large area is still pitch black. Since he doesn't want to see green "ghosts", Ronggui decides not to activate the thermal imaging mode anymore. In this way, the house is really dark to him.
The room was quiet, the footsteps of the two little robots were already light, and the little girl also subconsciously lowered the footsteps under their leadership. For a while, there was no sound in the room.
Until——
As he was walking, Ronggui's foot tilted, and when he managed to stabilize his body, he realized that he had stepped on a piece of the floor? !
Suddenly, there was such a sound in the quiet room, and the movement was extremely loud.
Oops! I did something bad again! Just when Ronggui was startled and frightened, an old voice suddenly came from the room.
"You didn't step on it, that floor was already broken."
The small hand in his hand suddenly grabbed his own hand forcefully, and Hana's small body was pressed against Ronggui's body.
Wrapping the little girl's shoulder with one hand stiffly, Ronggui finally activated the thermal imaging system.
A faint green "ghost" appeared in his field of vision again. In the originally dark living room where no one could see anyone, the old woman was sitting on a rocking chair, her fingers were moving slowly, this is in
Knitting wool?
Is there a more terrifying setting than an old lady sitting in the living room knitting in a dark, quiet haunted house?
Ronggui almost cried from fright!
Actually, there are
In the darkness, the old woman stretched out her arm, and she groped a few times. After a crisp "click", a small dim yellow light lit up in the room.
Two bowls filled with blood were placed on the small round table next to the old lady! If you look carefully, there is a fork on each bowl!
It's like offering food to the dead——Ronggui's hair was horrified immediately!
Oops, is the system that Xiaomei repaired is about to fail? He felt as if he was going to faint again
Stretched out a hand to cover his forehead, Ronggui was feeling dizzy, when suddenly he heard Xiaomei say: "The two of us are using mechanical bodies now, so we don't need to eat."
It was only then that Ronggui realized: Ah, so this is the dinner prepared by the landlady for them?
The old woman's white eyes drifted in their direction, and her wrinkled hands rested on the sweater needles again.
"That"
No need to continue listening, Ronggui immediately guessed what the old lady was going to say next: It was nothing more than that the prepared things were not needed, so there was no need to prepare them for them in the future, let them go upstairs by themselves, etc. .
Suddenly a sense of guilt appeared in his heart, Ronggui happened to hear Hana's stomach growling, he quickly interrupted the old woman, and said loudly: "Great, Hana hasn't had dinner yet! These two bowls of rice are just enough for the little guy to eat."
"Hahaha, I was too careless. I patronized the cleaning and forgot to prepare dinner for Hana."
"Hana, you too, you want to talk when you're hungry." After speaking, Ronggui patted the little girl's head.
The thin lips were drawn into a stiff straight line again, and the old woman stopped talking immediately.
Boldly, Ronggui led Hana towards the direction of the old woman.
Looking closely, the face of the old woman in the dark still looks very scary, but what is more terrifying than her face are the two bowls of rice on the small round table: the thick red thing on it should be a A kind of sauce, the sauce covered the entire bowl, and it was completely impossible to see what was underneath.
Is this food edible?
Ronggui glanced at Hana hesitantly: If this thing is really weird, he would rather make the old lady sad than let Hana eat it.
However, Hana at this moment couldn't notice Ronggui's gaze at all. The little girl only had those two bowls of rice in her eyes, and Ronggui could still hear her swallowing.
"Smells so good," the little girl whispered.
Then, a big bowl was picked up from the small round table, the little girl sat on the carpet, pulled out a fork and dug out a piece of rice, her eyes lit up, the next behavior of the little girl could only be described as wolfing down.
Eating one bowl was not enough, the little girl immediately picked up the second bowl, and after eating two full bowls of red rice, the little girl held her stomach in satisfaction and burped.
"It's so delicious! What is this?" The satisfaction after eating something delicious overcame the fear, and the little girl dared to speak.
The little girl's unique immature voice made the old woman stunned for a while, and a coil was wrapped around her hand, and the old woman then said slowly:
"It's red shrimp rice."
"Using fresh red shrimp grass to make a thick paste, it is good to cover ordinary rice."
"I have bad eyesight, and now I can only cook simple meals." At the end, the old woman added.
Ronggui didn't feel anything wrong yet, but the little girl's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Is this the legendary red shrimp rice!!!"
"The legendary herbal medicine can taste seafood! Not only delicious, but also very good for the body. Red shrimp grass is very expensive, very expensive, very expensive herbal medicine!"
Ronggui's gaze immediately shifted to the two big bowls that had been licked up.
Is it so delicious and so precious? ah! It's a pity that I can't eat it! ! !
"It's not very precious, I just want it to be easy to make." With a soft snort, the old woman said calmly.
The old woman's eyes were still scary white eyes, and the lines on her face were still stiff and serious, but at this moment, when Ronggui looked at the old woman again, she no longer felt scary.
I will use precious herbs to prepare dinner for the new tenants. When they come back late, the old man has been waiting for them.
This really touched the good landlord of the whole tower!
"What's the matter with this child? Your child?" After knitting quietly for a while, the old woman asked again, another explosive question.
"Hey? How could it be that Xiaomei and I are golden bachelors? This kid is our employer!" After thinking about it, Ronggui said.
"Today we were working at the employer's house, and we accidentally washed all the sheets and sheets, as well as Hana's clothes. Isn't it impossible to sleep? So I brought her back. "Rong Gui explained it quickly, and at the end, he asked pitifully: "There are two people renting the house, so it shouldn't be a violation of the contract if we bring more people back occasionally?"
Being able to make him talk to people in a pitiful way (in fact, in a coquettish tone), it seems that he is really not afraid—Xiaomei glanced at Ronggui without any trace.
"Where are the little girl's parents?" Ignoring Ronggui's last question, the old woman immediately asked him.
"This" involves Hana's sad matter, Ronggui couldn't answer immediately.
In the end, it was Hana who took the initiative to answer the question.
"My parents are gone, they have become immortals." The little girl's weak voice is especially pitiful.
"Oh." The old woman only said this, and didn't make another sound.
This is really a hard-to-talk old lady—the surroundings became dead again, and Hana's little hand held Ronggui's again. Facing this deadly silence, Ronggui didn't know what to do.
What broke the silence was the sound of knocking.
Ronggui turned his head to look, only to realize that Xiaomei ran over at some point, squatting on the floor, he was beating and beating
Ronggui just remembered: the floor that was trampled by himself before.
Xiaomei, you are so kind! This will help me make up for my mistake——Thinking of this, Ronggui once again looked at Xiaomei thankfully.
His eyes were so hot that Xiaomei couldn't help but turned her head, glanced at him slowly, then turned her head slowly, and continued to repair the floor.
"Ah, the floor over there is also a little broken, Xiaomei, you can fix it later?"
"There are also large cracks in the glass of the windows"
Looking around the room, Ronggui found some other work for Xiaomei.
The old woman continued knitting, she seemed to have heard the movement of Ronggui and Xiaomei, but also seemed not to hear
Until Hana yawned a little.
"It's getting late, the child is sleepy, take her to bed."
After the old man finished speaking, he paused, and added after a long while: "I have some clothes that she might be able to wear, you wait here."
After saying this sentence, the old man stood up without fumbling, she turned into the next room like a completely normal person, and when she came out after a while, she had a pile of clothes in her hand.
Very nice little dress, in typical Ciciro style, with delicate embroidery on it, looks fabulous!
"I can't see the little girl's appearance clearly, so I just picked up a few, can I wear them?" The old man asked casually.
"Appropriate! Appropriate! Ah, these skirts are so beautiful." Ronggui, who had already unfolded the skirt and saw the complete shape of the skirt, was stunned by the workmanship of the skirt! He not only watched it by himself, but also took Hana to watch it together. Like other children of the same age, Hana was completely stunned when she saw these skirts!
Thinking that these skirts can be worn by herself, the little girl is so happy!
"It's fine if you can wear it." Nodding reservedly, the old woman said immediately, "I'm going to bed, you go to sleep too."
Then, she closed the door abruptly.
However, Ronggui is not so afraid of her cold face now, he stretched out his skirt in his hand, Ronggui and the little girl looked at each other, both of them smiled.
This night, Little Hana was sleeping on Ronggui on the left, and Xiaomei was sleeping on the right, and she was caught in the middle.
The "sleep" of the two little robots is very simple. Turning off the machine means "falling asleep", and the room is quiet again. Hana looked to the left, then to the right, and finally—
With a grunt, she rolled into Ronggui's arms and fell asleep.
Not long after, the little girl's characteristic light breathing sound came from the next door.
Xiaomei, who had been "sleeping" on her back, suddenly had a hint of orchid in her eyes, and turned her head slightly. He first looked at Ronggui, and then his eyes fell on the little girl who was hugging Ronggui and sleeping soundly.
He just kept watching, watching——
The night passed quickly.
The author has something to say: "Are there any bugs on my body? Are there any bugs on my head? On my back, on my back?"
Ronggui ran all over the yard while shouting, and finally Hana reminded him that there might be other bugs in the yard, so he froze and ran towards the house quickly, standing at the door, He couldn't survive.
No way, he is not afraid of anything else, only insects!
Liar, you are afraid of ghosts.
