Ren Xiaosu felt a little strange, after Yang Xiaojin came to Barrier 88, he didn't even revisit Yang's Manor, but kept taking him to a small shop like the Peace Tailor Shop to meet some former acquaintances.

"Hibiscus, wait a minute," the middle-aged woman in the tailor's shop wiped her hands, took off the sleeve on her arm, and then walked to the door and replaced the small wooden sign hanging outside, "Closed".

It only closed at 9 o'clock in the morning, and it seemed that the other party didn't want anyone to disturb her and Yang Xiaojin's old days.

The tailor's shop is small, the walls of the shop are hung with all kinds of fabrics, and the room smells of leather, which is not pungent at all.

The windows are wiped very clean, the floor is also very clean, Ren Xiaosu can see that the other party lives a very careful and delicate life.

The middle-aged woman looked at Ren Xiaosu with a smile: "Let me introduce myself, I am a tailor who has measured Xiao Jin's clothes since I was a child, my name is Lan Jingchu, how about you call me Aunt Lan? ”

Ren Xiaosu was a little embarrassed to be said, others praised him behind his back for his awesome and combat effectiveness, he could listen to it with relish, and even participated in the discussion as if nothing happened.

But once he is praised in person, he will show a rare shyness.

There are not many people who can see Ren Xiaosu's shy side.

However, what Ren Xiaosu was most worried about at this time was that he was afraid that Yang Xiaojin would suddenly say next to him that he would not let him be called Aunt Lan, because this Aunt Lan was younger than Grandma Lin......

Fortunately, Yang Xiaojin did not add anything.

"Wait a minute, I'll make you two cups of tea," Aunt Lan said and entered the back room.

There are brown solid wood tables and chairs with sugar and snacks on them, which are supposed to be prepared for guests.

Yang Xiaojin picked up a piece of candy and peeled off the sugar coating, and then handed it to Ren Xiaosu: "Taste, this is the taste I remember when I was a child." ”

Ren Xiaosu ate it in his mouth, and a strong taste of plum mixed with the saliva in his mouth spread.

I don't know why, as soon as the sugar got in her mouth, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Aunt Lan walked out with a tea tray, and she looked at Yang Xiaojian: "Is there anything going back to the No. 88 barrier this time?

As he spoke, he also put two cups of brewed black tea in front of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.

Yang Xiaojin shook her head, she pointed at Ren Xiaosu and said, "There's nothing serious, just make him four suits and keep them for him." ”

"I see," Aunt Lan's smile thickened, "Then I have to do it well, but for four sets of clothes, I may need to ask the tailors of other shops to help, otherwise it will take a long time for me to do it alone." ”

"Well, it's okay," Yang Xiaojin said and looked at Ren Xiaosu: "How much?"

"No," Aunt Lan smiled and shook her head: "The Yang family has not used up the money they have saved with me, and there are still a lot of them, I will get you the account book, and it doesn't matter if the rest of the money is used to make twenty sets of clothes." ”

Ren Xiaosu secretly muttered to himself, is the consortium so wealthy?

Yang Xiaojin said: "You don't need to look at the account book, Aunt Lan, you can help me call a more familiar shoemaker, and I will give him twelve pairs of shoes." ”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when she heard this, and even Aunt Lan was a little incredible: "Do you need to do so much?"

"Well," Yang said, "to be the strongest." ”

At this time, even Aunt Lan felt that something was wrong, who would make so many shoes at one time?

And Ren Xiaosu felt a little uneasy in her heart, this feeling was like a precursor to separation, just like a wife would prepare a lot of ingredients for her husband before leaving, for fear that her husband would be hungry at home alone.

If the husband is going on a long journey, the wife will buy 10 pairs of shoes at home and let the husband wear them on the road.

It's a gift before parting.

Yes, what Yang Xiaojin is doing now is like she is going to go away.

At this time, Yang Xiaojin was still taking care of herself and explaining to Aunt Lan: "The suit should be looser at the waistline, armpits, and shoulder circumference, because because of his large amount of activity, sometimes he will fight when he is caught off guard, and if it is very tight, it will affect his activities." In addition, the shoes should be particularly strong, and he has already broken several pairs of shoes. ”

Not to mention anything else, when the power of the transcendent suddenly explodes, the power of the soles of the feet and shoes is indeed extremely great, and many transcendents actually have the trouble of spending shoes, and within two battles, the shoes will become crocodile mouths.

After Yang Xiaojin explained here, Aunt Lan immediately called a shoemaker on a landline phone, and the other party was also very professional, and actually rubbed Ren Xiaosu's foot shape with cement, saying that in this way she could make the most suitable shoes.

To be honest, it was the first time in Ren Xiaosu's life that he enjoyed this kind of treatment.

When rubbing the foot shape, Yang Xiaojin was still asking how long it would take to do it and whether it would be faster to add money.

Then I asked, can I prepare some more insoles or something, I want the best.

At this moment, Yang Xiaojin lost her heroism, but was a little more gentle.

After the shoemaker left, Yang Xiaojin suddenly asked Aunt Lan, "What about Uncle Li? Why haven't you seen him here for a long time, is he resting today?"

Aunt Lan paused for a moment as she was selecting the cloth, and then said slowly: "On the night of the attack on Barrier 88, he was hit by a car that wanted to escape, and he never woke up. ”

That night, Ren Xiaosu took Yan Liuyuan and the others to leave first, but before leaving, the Li clan's nano warriors had already arrived at the barrier and began to attack wantonly.

That war didn't have much to do with Ren Xiaosu, but the reason why the Li family's nano soldiers were able to break through the Qing clan's defense line and reach the Yang clan was also intentional on the part of Qing Jin.

That's why some people say that no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche.

However, from Ren Xiaosu's point of view, he can't say that Qingzhen's choice is wrong.

In such a sad era, everyone is like a person drowning in water, if you want to swim out of the water to breathe, the only person you can rely on and believe in is yourself.

If you're not strong enough, don't try to save the other drowning people, because you'll be dragged by the neck and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Aunt Lan said softly: "It was his birthday, I closed the shop early and went home to cook, he said that he was going to measure someone else's clothes before going home, but I later learned that he went to the flower market to buy me a bouquet of roses." When I found him, the roses were scattered around his corpse, soaked in blood. ”

Yang Xiaojin was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and Aunt Lan didn't have too much sadness, born in this era, who is not used to seeing life and death?

According to Qing's statistics, the average life expectancy of Qing's in the past decade was only 51, partly because of the lack of materials, and on the other hand, the level of medical care was far less than before the catastrophe.

Ren Xiaosu remembers that before the catastrophe, the average life expectancy in many cities exceeded 70, and some first-tier cities were as high as 83, which is the change brought about by the different levels of medical care.

So, this is a time when everyone is more adept at saying goodbye.

It's not that everyone wants to be good at it, but life forces you to get used to it all.

Coming out of the tailor's shop, Yang Xiaojin took a deep breath and said, "Xiaosu, when the clothes are ready, you can leave two gold bars for Aunt Lan for emergency." ”

"Well, it will," Ren Xiaosu nodded.

"Let's go, it's noon, please eat beef patties, when I was a child, my favorite was beef patties, which tasted more fragrant than at home," Yang Xiaojin said, she thought silently: "I'll buy you other things in the afternoon." ”

Ren Xiaosu was a little silent, he didn't know what this so-called other thing was.

When walking on the road, he could feel Yang Xiaojian's deep nostalgia for this barrier, even if the other party had no feelings for the Yang Foundation, but it carried the other party's childhood and happiness.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaojin bought him three brand-new jackets, the best quality ones.

In these years, the basic people who can buy jackets are either rich or expensive, after all, there are too few people who can get out of the barrier and use the jacket.

In the outdoor goods store, Yang Xiaojin also bought Ren Xiaosu the best sapper shovels, tents, thermal blankets, and even emergency oxygen cylinders.

Yang Xiaojin was generous and bought a wide variety of purchases, which simply made Ren Xiaosu dumbfounded.

In the evening, the girl in the cap also went to buy a lot of fresh seasonings for Ren Xiaosu, and when she bought it, she bought a large jar of the same kind.

Salt, pepper noodles, chili powder, soybean paste, soy sauce, oil consumption, monosodium glutamate......

Everything but the kitchen sink.

This feeling is like being afraid that Ren Xiaosu will not be able to find something to take advantage of when he lives alone.

In the end, Yang Xiaojin also bought Ren Xiaosu the most expensive Ginkgo brand waterproof watch that could be found in the No. 88 barrier.

At that time, the boss said that the watch was very strong, and a friend of his accidentally fell downstairs with the watch, and the watch was not at all.

The only pity is that although the watch is not broken, his friend fell to his death......

Ren Xiaosu, as a person with the memory of civilization before and after the catastrophe, was a little emotional when he bought the watch.

Before the catastrophe, some watches were often hundreds of thousands, millions, and they were not always available.

If you want to buy a sought-after watch at the counter, you have to tie two cheap watches, just like you have to increase the price of a best-selling car.

Now it's good, buy the most expensive watch, and the boss will happily offer you like a wild father.

After coming out of the watch shop, Ren Xiaosu finally couldn't help but look at the gradually darkening sky: "Xiaojian, if you want to say anything, you can say it directly to me......

Yang Xiaojin glanced at him: "Sooner or later, what should be said will be said, don't worry." ”

Saying that, Yang Xiaojin actually found an office supply store and bought a pen and a small notebook.

When Ren Xiaosu saw her buy pens and notebooks, she chuckled in her heart, this is to write a letter to herself, right?

After returning to the hotel that night, Yang Xiaojin locked herself in the house alone, and then asked Ren Xiaosu not to sleep first.

Yang Xiaojin said that no matter what doubts Ren Xiaosu has in his heart, there will be an answer tonight.

In the summer, the wind picks up at night.

Ren Xiaosu climbed to the roof of the hotel from the window alone, he silently looked at the lights of the thousands of homes that had not been extinguished, and suddenly felt a little lonely.

Loneliness like never before.

In fact, Ren Xiaosu has never mentioned some things to others, and even Yan Liuyuan has never heard of his thoughts.

Sometimes, he feels like he doesn't deserve a home.

finally accepted an apprentice, and the apprentice sat down.

Finally gathered a group of bandits to rebuild their homes, and the bandits were gone.

I finally had a younger brother, and my younger brother went to the northern grasslands.

Finally, there was an elder Jiang Xu, but Jiang Xu was assassinated.

Ren Xiaosu is like walking alone on a long dark street, and when he looks back, he finds that no one is waiting under the dim lamp.

Under the lights, there is only a word of goodbye.

"Master, I'm leaving. ”

"Brother, I can't go back. ”

"Xiaosu, take care. ”

The hot breeze of the summer night blows in and blows away gently, the humid air in the south is like a hot and humid breath, and the occasional hint of coolness in the wind is like the singer's singing after playing the guitar.

Ren Xiaosu looked back in his memory, and on the long road he had come, he was still the only one.

There were only muddy footprints and messy thorns on the road.

Other than that, nothing remained.

"I'm just a broom star," Ren Xiaosu smiled bitterly: "I can't even keep a home." ”

It turned out that the home on Anning East Road, the No. 144 barrier that he wanted to go back to the most, was the only one in the end, and the other party actually didn't want to go back.

The young man's heart is complex and fragile, and Ren Xiaosu, who encountered love for the first time, is like all teenagers.

However, at this moment, a window below him opened, and Yang Xiaojin poked his head out and beckoned to Ren Xiaosu on the roof.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, he thought that the other party would leave a letter, but the result was ...... Doesn't seem to be the same as you imagined?

He climbed down the wall, and when he got into Yang Xiaojin's room through the window, he saw the other party handing him the small notebook in his hand.

"Is this ......?" Ren Xiaosu hesitated, he didn't dare to open it.

It's just that Yang Xiaojin has changed the silence and calm of the past two days, and she said with a smile: "Just open it and take a look." ”

Ren Xiaosu turned the first page, and the center of the book read "Don't be angry and use the volume".

Turning the first page, the back reads: I won't be angry with you anymore with this volume, and I'll give you a big hug.

On the second page, in the center of the notebook is written "Just go, use the volume".

Turning the second page, the back reads: After using this volume, you will go to the ends of the earth, and I will accompany you.

The third page is the "Gentle and Thoughtful Volume", and after using this volume, I will become the most gentle little angel in one day.

The fourth page is the "Massage Volume", after using this volume, I can give you a massage for 120 minutes, and become your gold medal technician, good at wrong bone massage.

The fifth page is the "Deluxe Breakfast Roll", after using this volume......

Ren Xiaosu turned over the pages one by one, and the pages of "privileged use volumes" were like warm red coals on a snowy day, and all the bad moods were ironed out.

The privilege volume has a total of ninety-nine pages, and the last page reads: Expiration date, forever.

Settle down, love your Yang Xiaojian.

Ren Xiaosu silently looked up at Yang Xiaojian, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Yang Xiaojin smiled and said, "The gift I gave, do you like it?"

"I like it," Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath and said, "But, you have ...... in the past two days."

"Ignore you, right? deliberately angry with you," Yang Xiaojin said with a smile: "Next time I run far away without saying a word, there will be more cruel punishments." Ren Xiaosu, remember, if there is such a thing as a person taking risks in the future, I will beat you. ”

Ren Xiaosu: "......"

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" asked Yang Xiaojian.

"Why are you so obsessed with accompanying me on adventures," Ren Xiaosu asked softly.

Yang Xiaojin said seriously: "I have lost you once, so I swear that I will never lose you again in this life." ”

Ren Xiaosu asked again: "Then why did you suddenly give me so many gifts, such as clothes, shoes, and ......?"

"When I learned that you were 240 years old, I was actually quite disappointed," Yang said, "It turns out that I have missed more than 200 years of your time. ”

At the moment in the wizarding realm, Yang Xiaojin suddenly felt like he was looking at Ren Xiaosu from a distance through the long river of time.

At that moment, Yang Xiaojin was even more lonely and lonely than Ren Xiaosu, as if a hand was pulling Ren Xiaosu away in time.

However, Yang Xiaojin is an extremely neat person, since there is a distance, then she will pull this distance back.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Xiaojin: "Don't talk yet, let me speak." ”

"In the past two days, I have taken you to my favorite bun shop, and I have also taken you to my favorite tailor shop, including the store where I used to buy outdoor products," Yang Xiaojin said, "Actually, I just want you to see my past life and let you know me in front of you, just like you also lived with me." ”

"I give you a gift, but also to make up for the life I missed you, every time I think of your 221 years of life without me, I will be irrepressibly lost. So I'm going to make up 240 birthday gifts for you, so that there will be no shortcomings. In the future, since you have received a gift, it must be treated as if you have always had me by your side for the past 240 years. ”

She gently hugged Ren Xiaosu, then gently put her face on Ren Xiaosu's collarbone and said: "Xiaosu, everyone is meeting love for the first time, I don't know how to maintain this relationship, and I don't know how to express it." All I can do is leave nothing for myself. ”

Ren Xiaosu looked at the cap girl in front of her in a daze, yes, both of them encountered love for the first time in their lives, and no one had any preparations, so this hot relationship came unprepared.

The relationship between the two of them seems to be more warm and rich than the others, they have fought side by side, lived and died together, separated, and reunited.

The other party has no experience in love, but he treats him with the most sincere feelings.

It is always said that companionship is the most affectionate farewell.

What Yang Xiaojin wants to do now is to accompany him throughout his life, both in the past and in the future.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Why didn't you open the Key Gate in the house of Barrier 144?" The wizards said that the Key Gate would open where you want to go the most......

As a result, Yang Xiaojin was obviously stunned this time: "That's my house, I can go back at any time, why do you want to drive there?"

When she said this, Ren Xiaosu was also stunned.

The opening and ending point of this key door is actually the inner need, and everyone's psychological needs are different at each stage, children want to go to the candy house, Chen Jiu wants to go to the beach to escape the world, which they can't get.

If Yang Xiaojin says this, then the way to open the key door is actually to go where you can't go.

Ren Xiaosu has never had a home, so even if he has a "home" now, he has some gains and losses in his heart.

And he was in the wizarding country at the time, thousands of kilometers away from home, and there was no Yang Xiaojin by his side.

And Yang Xiaojin is different, she has long subconsciously regarded it as her home, so the level of inner needs has dropped a lot: she can go back at any time anyway.

Ren Xiaosu always felt that something was wrong: "Aren't you afraid of losing that home?"

"Lost?" Yang Xiaojin was curious: "How to lose? You want to abandon that home? Do you dare?"

"Ahem," Ren Xiaosu hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"That's not the end of it," Ms. Yang said.

In fact, Yang Xiaojin is the one who entered the psychological stability period earlier, she already has a sense of security, and Ren Xiaosu has not.

Ren Xiaosu sighed: "I thought you minded my age these days and wanted to say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

The corners of Yang Xiaojian's mouth turned up: "If I don't give you a longer memory, what should you do if you still run around in the future?"

"Don't run, don't run," Ren Xiaosu hurriedly promised.

"It's pretty much the same," Yang Xiaojin said proudly: "But it's a little troublesome for you to celebrate your birthday in the future, and it's scary to think about it if you have to insert 240 candles." How scared your birthday friends are. ”

Ren Xiaosu: "???"

Why do you say such things at such a time?!

"By the way," Ren Xiaosu asked, "So you are counting the number of gifts, and now you have enough 240 pieces?"

Yang Xiaojin shook his head and said, "No, it's 239 now." Counting 99 privileged use volumes, there are only 239 pieces. ”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "What's the last thing left?"

At this time, Yang Xiaojin suddenly took off her cap, and then said softly: "The 240th gift is myself." ”

Ren Xiaosu shuddered: "Please don't objectify women......"

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Yang Xiaojin throw out the cap in his hand and smash the light switch in the room: "I see how long you are still ready to coax!"

Summer boudoir month, red sleeves don't need to cry.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered what his father had said to him on the letter, Xiaosu, do you already have love?

Love is when you suddenly feel that you can feel happy without conquering the world, without getting ahead, without becoming famous, or without having to be tied to your pocket.

I even lost my ambition a little bit, and I thought it would be good.

It's that you mind everything, and you can compromise on everything.

Love is a panicked gain and loss, some people are lonely, and some people finally understand that all this panic and waiting are worth it.

Love is meeting someone at the right time who wants to commit to a lifetime.

......

This chapter, it really made me think about it for a long time...
