My Death God Roommate - Chapter 233
Mu Rong went to the paper shop. Unexpectedly, the shop was very clean. An aunt in her fifties heard the door opening and put down the newspaper. She said to Mu Rong through thick reading glasses: “No goods, The boss is not at home.”
Mu Rong smiled and said, “Auntie, I am the owner of the shop, are you?”
The aunt opened the drawer and took out a photo from it. After comparing it carefully, she smiled and said, “Oh, you are Murong? I was hired by Xiao Wang to help you take care of the tree in the backyard. My last name is Sun. You call me Aunt Sun will do.”
“Xiao Wang? Is it Wang Hao?”
Mu Rong remembered that before entering the Yellow Desert Ridge mass grave, he had indeed asked Wang Hao to help take care of the tree that Qin Huai’an was hosting. He couldn’t help but feel sentimental for several months, but the person was gone.
Mu Rong nodded and looked around, seeing that the shop was clean and tidy, he was very satisfied, and went to the backyard to check the condition of the trees.
Seeing Aunt Sun wrapped a thick layer of straw on the bottom of the tree trunk, the snow in the yard was swept into the corner.
Aunt Sun followed. She retired and had nothing to do at home, so she couldn’t find such a leisurely job. You can get 1,500 yuan every day by reading the newspaper and listening to the drama. Although it is a little far away, you can close the door and go home at three or four o’clock in the afternoon. I don’t know if the boss can stay with him.
“This tree is a southern tree. The climate in our northeast is cold. I have thought of a lot of ways. A few days ago, there were insects in the tree. I asked the sanitation department to give it a bottle. What do you think?”
“Very good, Aunt Sun is interested. How much did Wang Hao give you a month ago?”
“Five thousand, I gave it for half a year at once.”
Mu Rong nodded. It seems that Aunt Sun’s character is also very reliable: “I will pay you a year’s salary in a while. If I have something to go to the remote store, please continue to help me take care of it. The main thing is to take care of it. This tree, I will leave a call for you. If you have anything to do, please call me.”
Aunt Sun agreed in a hurry, smiling cheerfully: “Does the girl drink tea? I brought Pu’er tea from home. Let me make a cup for you.”
“Auntie, don’t be busy, I will go now.”
“Hey, I’ll give it to you.”
When he walked to the door, Mu Rong turned his head and said: “You can sell the things in this shop as long as you want. The price is set by yourself. The paper products will become brittle after a long time. In fact, it is very simple to make these things. If you mind, take the time to research and make some things for sale by yourself. This shop is in a good location and has good business.”
Aunt Sun’s face turned into a flower with a smile: “Why don’t you mind, who hasn’t had that day! But I heard that this line of rice is not casually eaten, it must be hard enough for birthday…”
Mu Rong looked up and down, blurted out, “Auntie, don’t worry, you can hold it down.”
After saying this, Mu Rong himself felt strange, but did not change his words.
“Then I will borrow your auspicious words? I just retired and I have nothing to do. My wife left early, my son and daughter-in-law are busy, and my grandson goes to college, ah.”
“It’s okay. This is my phone number. You can keep it. The rest is okay. Please take good care of the tree in the backyard. Please call me if you have any problems.”
Aunt Sun suddenly remembered something and shouted: “Hey! Girl wait a minute!”
“Is there anything else?”
“Looking at my memory, I almost forgot. Some time ago, two girls came to the shop to look for you, one named Bao Xiaoxuan and the other named Qu Tingting. They left a lot of gifts in the storeroom. I’ll take them for you!”
“Oh, don’t worry, Auntie, I will give it to you.”
“That’s not enough…”
Aunt Sun could not refuse, Mu Rong had already left Zhazhipu.
Mu Rong booked a train ticket for the day after tomorrow to go south. It had snowed a few days ago and it was not cold.
It’s a pity that the snow on the side of the road in the Northeast has been heavily polluted in recent years. It has long since disappeared from the silver dress. It is almost Christmas. Many shopping malls are decorated with lights and colorful festivals. The festive atmosphere is strong.
Mu Rong dialed Bao Xiaoxuan’s phone. When the other party heard Mu Rong’s voice, he was surprised and surprised, and immediately agreed to Mu Rong’s appointment.
There was a baby crying over the phone, and Mu Rong remembered that Bao Xiaoxuan was five or six months pregnant when they saw her last time, and now the baby should be six months old, so time is so fast.
Bao Xiaoxuan wore a down jacket wrapped in a red scarf and walked into the teahouse. She was surprised to see Mu Rong: “Master Mu! Long time no see, how is it?”
Mu Rong saw Bao Xiaoxuan’s whole body plump, and his face was filled with a sense of happiness that he didn’t have before, and he smiled and said, “Have you cut your hair?”
“My little **** likes to pull my hair and cut it. You seem to be thinner and darker. How are you doing? Where have you been with Master Sang and Xiaoyu during this time?”
Speaking of Sang Yu, Mu Rong’s eyes darkened but he quickly recovered: “Go out to do something, I heard Aunt Sun say that you went to us?”
“Actually, there is nothing wrong. The first time I went there, I wanted Master Sang to give the baby a name. Then I simply missed you. Why are you leaving?”
Mu Rong nodded: “Be a backpacker and walk around.”
A trace of reluctance flashed across Bao Xiaoxuan’s face, and she suddenly slapped her thigh: “By the way, do you remember NPC’s dream game?”
Mu Rong felt a sense of sorrow in his heart again. How much he hoped that time could return to that time, even if he watched Sang Yu holding his cell phone and ignored him all day long.
She tightened the backpack in her arms and nodded.
“Oh my god, that game is a mental opium. It has been completely taken off the shelves. I heard that many people committed suicide because of that game! I was scared to see the two-course psychiatrist. I remember Xiao Sang also Play, is she okay?”
Mu Rong shook his head, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment. Bao Xiaoxuan rubbed her nose and asked casually: “What baby is in your backpack? You have been holding it since you came in.”
Mu Rong raised his head, his eyes looked a bit hollow, and Bao Xiaoxuan was uncomfortable with her eyes.
“It’s Sang Yu.”
“What?” Bao Xiaoxuan suddenly realized, staring at Mu Rong incredulously, for fear that she had heard it wrong.
Seeing the sadness in Mu Rong’s eyes, the astonishment and surprise in his heart were beyond words, and it took a while before he whispered: “I’m sorry.”
“It’s nothing, I’m going to take Sangyu around to see the scenery. I shouldn’t go back to the Northeast in the near future. We haven’t seen you for a long time. I’m relieved to see that you are doing well.”
Although Bao Xiaoxuan had some doubts, Mu Rong’s lonely expression stopped abruptly.
She looked at the backpack in Mu Rong’s arms again, and tears couldn’t help streaming.
Mu Rong took the initiative to take out a tissue and handed it to her: “Look at it, it’s all over.”
Bao Xiaoxuan sniffed: “I feel that a lot has changed when you come back this time, and you will have to do well in the future.”
Bao Xiaoxuan wanted to say that Mu Rong had become more humane, and was no longer the coldness she remembered.
It was getting late and the two said goodbye. Before leaving, Bao Xiaoxuan gave Mu Rong a big hug, watching her drifting away with her backpack deep and shallow. The sky was silently falling down with heavy snow, covering Mu Rong. A thin layer on his footprints.
There was an intuition in Bao Xiaoxuan’s heart that she would never see them again in this life.
The next day, Mu Rong met with Qu Tingting again. Qu Tingting did not come alone. There were two carers who accompanied her. She was pushed by someone in a wheelchair, describing her withered like a dried rose.
Seeing Mu Rong, a ray of light flashed in Qu Tingting’s eyes but dimmed instantly, as if the body of this dying wood could no longer support such violent emotional fluctuations.
The nurse pulled the blanket on her leg for Bao Xiaoxuan, and bowed to Mu Rong and said, “Miss Qu’s physical condition is not very good recently. Please try to reduce the face time to less than half an hour.”
“okay, I get it.”
Qu Tingting looked at Mu Rong for a long time, and said softly: “My time is running out.”
…
Mu Rong was sitting on the train heading south. This was the last carriage with less than ten people in it.
She looked at the barren landscape that couldn’t help passing by the window, and countless images appeared in her mind.
I once thought that I would spend my whole life mechanically, and I would have no regrets in this life if I could rescue my mother before the end of her life.
But in the past three years or so, I have been thrilling and exhausted my whole life.
“The world is afraid of Shura hell, how can you know that love is parting, resentment and hatred, can’t ask, the five shades are raging; birth, old, sick and death are all suffering.”
Mu Rong deliberately chose the only commemorative green-skin train reserved by the planter. It took more than 30 hours to reach the destination. The flight attendant pushed the small dining car to chant this familiar slogan. Mu Rong bought a cup of instant noodles and lay down after eating. under.
In the middle of the night, the train swayed shallowly, and the last carriage fell silent.
Mu Rong vaguely felt that the car had stopped several times, one of which took a very long time, maybe it was passing through the hub station, Mu Rong thought.
Just when Mu Rong was about to fall asleep holding the backpack, she suddenly felt a biting chill, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
wrong! It was too quiet in the carriage.
Mu Rong tightened the backpack in his hand, pricked his ears to listen to the surrounding movement, deathly silence.
There is a thick layer of ice on the car window overhead. This situation is not uncommon in the Northeast, but the car has been driving for nearly 20 hours and it shouldn’t be so cold!
Suddenly, Mu Rong heard the sounds of playing with children, and they were a boy and a girl.
Mu Rong slowly sat up and put the backpack on his back. The moment he lifted the quilt, a cold breath pierced through her thick cotton coat.
She gently put on her shoes and caught a glimpse of a layer of ice in the bottle of mineral water she put on the table.
As soon as Mu Rong stepped onto the narrow aisle, the children’s laughter stopped abruptly.
The soles of the feet slipped and supported the bed next to it to barely stand firm, and the long aisle turned bright and icy!
Mu Rong saw people lying on the opposite shop, and walked over with the shop: “Sir, sir? Wake up.”
There was a layer of hoarfrost on the man’s mouth and nose and eyebrows, and there was no response.
“Sir?” Mu Rong raised his hand to probe the man’s breath and died!
