The attic is not very high. If it is for ordinary people, they might have to bend over from time to time, but Ronggui and Agui are the height of ordinary dwarves, so the height of the attic is very suitable for them.
There was no furniture in the room, only a bed and two low cabinets. The bed was woven with vines. Originally, there was a big hole in the middle, but before Ronggui woke up, Xiaomei filled the hole with materials at hand. .
The two low cabinets were also faulty. They were probably old furniture replaced by the landlord. One of the two low cabinets was missing a foot and could not hold anything, and it fell to one side as soon as it was loaded. The other low cabinet had a broken door.
The next morning, without Rong Gui's words, Xiaomei got up in the morning and started repairing the two cabinets. I replaced the missing foot with a metal block. If the cabinet door could not be closed, the door shaft was broken. I made a new door shaft with a metal sheet. The door opened and closed freely.
Finally, Ronggui stuffed a few sachets into the cabinet → drip the essential oil on the rag and put it in the bag. This is a simple and easy-to-use sachet. The musty smell in the cabinet will soon fade away. Not a lot.
However, the luggage of the two robots is too much, how can it be possible to fit all of them in just two cabinets
Xiaomei said that this place should be rich in rattan, and later he would buy a batch of rattan and weave a batch of furniture with rattan. Ronggui was relieved, and by the way, asked Xiaomei to weave a basket of rattan for himself, and then went to visit other parts of the attic.
This attic is indeed quite big, too, except that the height is a little low, but the area is as big as the two floors downstairs. Except for one room that is locked and specially stored for the landlord's own things, the other rooms are basically the same. It is empty, and they can use it by themselves.
Ronggui even found a bathroom with a bathtub and a kitchen in the attic~
The bathroom is a good thing! Their bodies can finally take a bath, but the kitchen... The kitchen seems to be of no use. Ronggui decides to change the kitchen into Xiaomei's studio.
"This will be your territory in the future~" After thinking about it in his heart, Ronggui said to Xiaomei behind him.
Xiaomei who has a kitchen/studio for no reason: …
=-=
After putting things in place, Ronggui opened all the windows in the attic to ventilate. Although he couldn't smell it, he knew that the attic that had not been inhabited for a long time must be full of musty smells, and there were many signs of decay on the walls. I have to talk to Xiaomei when I go back, and these places have to be repaired.
Rong Gui was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a movement from below.
Looking at the voice, Ronggui saw a man on the first floor of the medicine field. The man was well-dressed and had a hoe in his hand, weeding the weeds again and again.
Is that person the landlord
Even if I got up early, I didn't expect the landlord to get up earlier than me!
I also felt that yesterday's behavior was too rude, and wanted to make amends, Ronggui hurriedly greeted the people below.
"Good morning!" Clinging on the window, the petite robot said energetically to the people below.
The man seemed not to have heard it. Ronggui raised his head slowly when he said hello for the second time. He was wearing a large sunshade hat, and Ronggui could not see the man's face.
The man did not speak.
Ronggui tilted his head.
At this time, Xiaomei also walked to the window sill with a basin of bean mushrooms in her arms. She turned her head, and Ronggui whispered to Xiaomei, "I thought the person working downstairs was the old lady of the landlord, but it doesn't look like it. It's a man."
"It seems that there should be other tenants here..." Rong Gui finished, and continued to sit on the windowsill to watch the people downstairs work.
After watching it for a while, he felt boring, and then he left this window again and went to another window to check the terrain outside.
And Xiaomei-
He placed the flowerpot in his hand outside the window and secured it with a vine. After confirming that the presence of the flowerpot did not affect the opening and closing of the window, he glanced at the man below who was still working slowly.
Xiaomei watched quietly for a while, but the man who was working below never looked up, and then he also left.
This time, they didn't like in Yedhan City, it took a whole day just to clean up the room.
The reason is that Xiaomei said: Strong nutrient solution is not easy to buy. They need to book in advance and wait in line. In order to get the nutrient solution as soon as possible, they should queue up as soon as possible.
Thinking that what Xiaomei said makes sense, Ronggui just opened all the windows and put aside the unorganized things. The time was about, and the two of them went downstairs together.
Their bodies were still on the rhubarb. When they first arrived in a new and unfamiliar place, they didn't dare to take their bodies off rashly or bury them in the soil. The soil here is too wet. With so many zombies buried in the soil, Ronggui always felt unlucky.
What if those zombies are not honest in the soil? What if they dug from outside the city into the city under the soil? My and Xiaomei's white and tender bodies~ If you accidentally bite into those guys, you'll be finished!
After thinking about it, they finally took their bodies with them. If there is a place that sells locks on the road, they can buy a lock, arrange a suitable room, lock the room, and then put the body in it.
When going downstairs, Ronggui planned to make a good apology.
To this end, he also dug out one of the most beautiful flowerpots in his house, made by Xiaomei, and the ground beans growing in it were also dressed in unusual clothes.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the first floor, there was no one on the first floor.
Old carpets, starched clean tablecloths with patterns no longer visible, rocking chairs full of traces of time...
All that awaits them is the quiet living room.
Look closely, the rocking chair is still shaking slightly.
It looked as if someone had been sitting on it before, and that person had just left...
The weird feeling from last night came to mind again, and Ronggui shivered.
"Put Didou on the rocking chair." At this moment, Xiaomei's voice sounded beside her.
After a jolt, Ronggui hurriedly did as Xiaomei said.
When putting the ground beans, Ronggui noticed that there was still a half-woven blanket on the rocking chair. After thinking about it, he did not put the flower pot on the rocking chair, but placed it under the rocking chair, at the foot.
After thinking about it, he also summoned the courage to shout:
"Mother-in-law, we're going out to do errands. The ground beans in the flowerpot are gifts. I hope you like them."
After he finished speaking, he quickly ran back to Xiaomei.
The two little robots left this old house full of vicissitudes of life without looking back.
Not long after, the sound of a car starting was heard outside the door.
And not long after they left, the floor creaked. An old woman came in from the outside, still wearing the black clothes she wore last night. Due to the frequent washing, the black coarse cloth clothes looked a little whitish.
The hem of the skirt was faintly stained with a few pieces of wet soil. If you look closely, there is also soil on her gloves.
Bending down slowly, she brushed off the mud from the skirt and took off her gloves, and then she slowly walked back to the living room again.
In the darkness, her eyes with a layer of white film looked extra weird.
Although she said she couldn't see, she was very dexterous when walking, and she didn't touch anything. She walked steadily to the rocking chair, and even... when she walked to the rocking chair, she bent down.
With a little force, she picked up the ground beans that Ronggui had placed there before.
The fluorescent green light shone on the cold and hard face of the old man, on her white pupils.
Slowly, maintaining the posture of holding the ground beans, the old man sat on the rocking chair again.
The sound of rocking chairs swaying quickly echoed in the room.
—
Those are things that Ronggui doesn't know.
After staying outside for a night, Rhubarb was covered with water droplets. In addition to the water droplets, there were actually a few flower trousers on the top of the car!
Ronggui was stunned when he first saw those flower trousers, he thought for a long time, and it took him a long time to come to the conclusion that "it was probably from the wind".
Don't people here like to hang their clothes outside? There is a wind-generating system in the city. When the wind is stronger, some clothes will always be blown off and fall into the alley, just on Da Huang's head... It is not impossible.
Ronggui could only bite the bullet and squeeze a few trousers down with his fingers.
Hanging the trousers on the vines of the plants next to him, he decided to hang them like this. If the owner of the flower trousers still cares about these trousers, he can just take them away.
But when Rhubarb started, Ronggui was taken aback again.
Suddenly there was a cat meowing from under the car, and then, a black cat suddenly came out from the bottom of the car! Leaving a black shadow and a few footprints on the window, the black cat jumped away.
"Is there a cat here?" Covering his chest with one hand, Ronggui was still in shock.
"It's a small beast called Carter. It has extremely poor hunting ability. Most of them live in cities and live with humans." Xiaomei's indifferent voice sounded again. His voice was as slow as always, without any fluctuations, but it was also It was this "calm without waves" that comforted Ronggui, and Ronggui felt that he had calmed down again.
until-
"However, this beast is a scavenger beast, and when there is no normal food, they will dig up rotten food to eat, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that Carter is considered an unlucky beast, especially Black Carter."
Ronggui: ... Does this mean that they saw something unlucky early in the morning
Unexplainable feelings filled Ronggui's brain, turning on Xiao Hei and listening to the fancy advertisements of Cicero City for a long time did not make him feel better.
In the next time, they began to find their way according to the store address provided to them by the beauty staff.
Today, there are only three stores that sell real powerful nutrient solution, and Xiaomei visits in order of distance and from far to near. However, the bad luck foretold by seeing a black cat in the morning seems to have really come true: they go to The business of the first store is so good that they don't accept reservations at all; the business of the second store is a little bit worse, but even if you book now, it will take eight months to get the strong nutrition solution at the earliest!
In fact, it's fine for eight months. Ronggui thinks it's good to be able to book, but Xiaomei looks... a little bit can't wait
Rong Gui was sensitively aware of Xiaomei's deeply hidden trace of anxiety.
"Let's go to the third store again." Xiaomei's voice did not change, however, Ronggui just felt that Xiaomei was a little impatient.
He didn't seem to want to wait that long - Ronggui tilted his head.
But Xiaomei is worthy of being Xiaomei, he suppressed his anxiety, and after talking about going to the third store, he still made a reservation at the second store according to the procedure, and also paid the deposit.
Cisiro City does not provide travel residence. If you don't come to buy medicine, you cannot stay in the city for a long time. If you want to stay here for a long time, you must be able to come up with a corresponding order to prove that you really need to stay for a while.
It takes a while for the order to be generated, and the store has to make a pickup card for them on the spot. While waiting for the pickup card, the waiter smiled and led them to an open-air lounge, which is similar to an open-air coffee shop. Although there is no sunlight, There are beautiful candlesticks on each table, and the candlelight will illuminate the whole open-air lounge beautifully. In addition, there are also free delicious drinks…
Ronggui and the others had no way to eat, but he heard the guests around him feel that the drinks were delicious, so—
Glancing at Xiaomei, Ronggui pressed out two bottles from his chest, then poured the drinks in front of them into the bottles and refilled them.
"Go back and identify it. If the ingredients are available, you can drink it for our bodies~" Ronggui said shrewdly.
Xiaomei: …
Ronggui keenly noticed that Xiaomei seemed to relax a little.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Ronggui, who was a little relieved, began to look around—
There are many guests waiting here. Each table has a very distinctive style of dress. At first glance, they come from different places. When I think that these people may come from places where they and Xiaomei may go in the future, Ronggui's heart is full. curious.
Excitedly, Ronggui looked over table by table until his eyes fell on the round table in the right corner.
Very strange, there is no drink in front of him.
Unlike other guests, this guest was unusually quiet. From the moment Ronggui's eyes fell on him, Ronggui didn't see him move.
The clothes on his body were unusually tattered. Looking closely, the clothes were not drab, but were all covered with soil.
As if just crawling out of the soil—
Suddenly thinking of something in his heart, Ronggui suddenly froze.
Then he saw someone coming next to the man, it was a group of people, talking loudly while walking, and their actions were very rude.
Ronggui saw one of the people widened the seat at the round table next door, and the person bumped into the guest because of the too much movement.
The guest who had been motionless finally moved, nervous, Ronggui saw the guest slowly raise his head, then turned his head—
The moment the candle on the table illuminated his face, Rong Gui grabbed Xiao Mei's hand suddenly, and then stood up.
really!
That's a zombie!
The whole face has been completely rotten, and the candlelight illuminates a rotten face! ! !
After such a distance, Rong Gui was taken aback, but one could imagine the unlucky guest who was facing the zombie. After a loud scream, the eyes of all the guests in the lounge fell on In a hidden corner.
The zombies that were sitting quietly in the corner before had nothing to hide.
In the screams of the guests one after another, Ronggui saw the shop waiter coming over quickly, wearing thick clothes, and they were well-trained to put up the zombie that was still sitting there.
"Sorry~ everyone, don't be afraid, this is a customer who pre-ordered strong nutrient solution in our store before. While waiting for the nutrient solution, he accidentally bought an elixir, and then accidentally died, and it turned out like this. Well~"
"His family buried him outside the city, and he seemed to remember the strong nutrient solution he ordered. No, he came over the wall every once in a while..."
"Hehe, after living in Ciciro City for a long time, everyone will find that the undead live in our lives. This is a very common thing~"
"You don't have to worry that we will default on our debts after death. Don't worry, we have poured this guest's powerful nutrient solution on his grave~"
"He just really likes this lounge..."
While ordering the zombie guests to be carried away and reburied, the store manager smiled and explained to the frightened guests in the lounge.
After listening to his explanation, Ronggui felt that his entire robot was bad.
Especially after he left the lounge later, and found a zombie in the shop that was lining up honestly.
Honor: =-=
Different from the out-of-towners who screamed and screamed, it was the calm and calm of the locals.
For these zombies who somehow escaped the inspection of the city entry auditors and entered the city, the performance of the locals can be said to be very calm.
