Chapter 9: The Mahogany Medicine Chest
"Dad!" Gu Xiao had suppressed some of his emotions before going out, but he was still a little choked up when he really saw Gu Zhonglin and Gu Xiao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Zhonglin stepped forward and touched Gu Xiao's head: "Come and eat, you can't eat so hard, haven't you seen each other for a year, what's there!" Gu Xiao knew in his heart that Gu Zhonglin was a knife in his mouth and tofu in his heart, his mother spoiled him at home, and his father played the stern side. Gu Zhonglin said this, but he kept putting vegetables in Gu Xiao's bowl in his hand: "Eat more, I see that you have lost a lot of weight." ”
The warm atmosphere permeated this small room, Gu Xiao ate two large bowls of rice for this meal, the distressed Jin Aiying kept giving Gu Xiao delicious food, Gu Xiao took a bite of rice with a full face of satisfaction: "I haven't eaten my mother's food for a long time, I miss this taste so much, and the sauerkraut fish made by my father is the best!" Gu Zhonglin poured a glass of water and put it in front of Gu Xiao and told her to eat slowly. Suddenly one thing came to mind: "Mom, where did you buy all this food?"
"It's the small vegetable market across the street from the intersection next door, where the food is affordable and fresh."
Gu Xiao drank the water and put down the cup and said to Jin Aiying: "Mom, I've been on winter vacation for more than a month, you can ask me to buy vegetables in the future, and I'll go with you!" The mother and son in the residential building behind the small vegetable market have been choking in Gu Xiao's heart, letting his mother go shopping for vegetables alone, Gu Xiao is not at ease, maybe something will happen one day.
"Okay, when you go out and grow up, you know to be considerate of your mother." After eating, Gu Xiao helped Jin Aiying clean up the dishes and chopsticks, said that he wanted to take a nap, went back to the bedroom, locked the door and entered the space, on weekdays, Gu Xiao ran to the bathroom in the middle of the night in the dormitory, and then went into the space to practice for a day, because he stayed on the train all night last night and delayed yesterday's, Gu Xiao thought about practicing twice today, practicing once at noon, making up for yesterday's and practicing again in the evening.
After cultivating, Gu Xiao thought about the ringtone of his mobile phone as soon as he got out of the space, "Xiaokui, I'm home, don't worry, how are you at home?" ”
I only heard a complaining voice on the other end of the phone: "It's a shame, I'm unlucky, and when I can get home in an hour, the train stopped at that station and hasn't moved, as if it said that three or four people died in the bathroom of the No. 18 car, and it was said that they were bitten to death and I don't know what happened, and then a group of policemen and some people in isolation suits took away some people, and I was flustered when I watched it, and I was reminded of the videos that the school infectious disease teacher showed us."
"Biting to death? Have you seen what the dead man looked like? And where are you still at the train station? Gu Xiao was a little nervous.
"I didn't see it, it's quite mysterious anyway, whatever, I'm in the hotel now I stayed at a nearby hotel after I got off the train at night, the car at 4:40 in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao put a little snack in her heart, and she suspected that the zombies encountered in Le Xiaokui's car might also be zombies: "Well, I know, by the way, if you meet some strange people on the road, that is, the kind of zombies we see on TV, you must stay away, it's not peaceful recently, don't care if it's true or not, don't ask me so much, just listen to me, I'll see if you send some news to our group at night, you remember to take a look."
After hanging up the phone, the phone remembered that the alarm prompted that the battery was low, and as soon as I took out the charger in the bedside backpack, the phone fell to the ground as soon as my hand slid it. Gu Xiao hurriedly got out of bed and was about to pick up the phone, only to find that the phone had fallen under the bed, and he reached out to hook it, but unfortunately he didn't hook it, so he had to climb in. When I went in to get my phone, I accidentally found a box under the bed: "Hey, what is this?" Pulling the box out from under the bed, Gu Xiao looked at the mahogany box and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who the box belonged to, what was it for, and he couldn't open it, Gu Xiao didn't understand it, so he had to put it aside first. Looking around at the things in the room, his hand touched his forehead, and with a snap of his fingers, Gu Xiao decided to pack some things that he didn't use into the space first. I opened my clothes first, flipped through them, and packed up the spring, summer and autumn clothes below and piled them on the bed, and only took a small amount in winter, after all, it was still in winter, and these winter clothes had to be worn. "Oh yes, yes, and shoes." Gu Xiao got out of the pile of clothes and ran to the shoe rack, thought about it, and only left one or two pairs of high heels, thinking that they might be used in the future and kept in case of emergency, and there were a few pairs of sneakers that fit comfortably, and the old shoes were directly thrown away, and the slightly new ones that were not worn Gu Xiao were ready to be put on the second-hand website to deal with them at a super low price, it is better to earn money than to throw it away, no matter how much money there is, it is always a piece of meat, Gu Xiao is in urgent need of money now. And it doesn't take more time to kill two birds with one stone.
Some of the Gu Xiao who could be used were all put into the space, and some of the things that were not used were all put on the Internet at a low price, because the price was very cheap, and then it was sold very hot in the past two days, and it was almost sold after a while. After cleaning up for more than two hours, the house didn't look like anything, but it was a lot simpler, so that the parents wouldn't see that everything was over, so Gu Xiao turned his attention to the mahogany box lying quietly on the table, lay on the table, and flicked it twice with his hand, and some of the books in the bookcase were left to him when Grandpa Zhang passed away.
"By the way, in addition to those books and a small yard, the two fields planted with herbs left by Grandpa at the beginning, there is only this mahogany box left, which Grandpa Zhang specially ordered himself to collect, how did he forget it." Gu Xiao patted his head, he forgot to bring it when he was leaving in his previous life, and he was ashamed for a while when he thought about it, but it was just an emergency at that time, where could Gu Xiao take care of any wooden boxes.
Since he practiced Dao Technique, Gu Xiao realized that many of the books left by Grandpa Zhang were about Dao Technique, and Gu Xiao guessed that nine times out of ten in this mahogany box was about Dao Technique, this idea made Gu Xiao a little excited.
It didn't take long for Gu Xiao to hold the box with a sad face, she tried to pry it with something, buckle it with a knife, tried several methods, and was stunned but didn't open it, but she didn't flinch The tighter the hidden things proved that the things in this box were more precious, and looked at the weather outside Gu Xiao casually put the box into the space and walked out of the door. I looked at my watch and didn't expect that I had been in the bedroom almost all afternoon, "It's almost five o'clock." ”
Gu Xiao's parents are ordinary workers, Jin Aiying has been working in a relatively large garment factory for almost ten years, and Gu Zhonglin originally worked in the same place as Jin Aiying, and later started a barbecue business by himself with a small stall, and the business is quite good, so the whole family is also a well-off family. Gu Xiao had already planned to let Gu Linzhong buy a large number of ingredients and seasonings before the end came, because Gu Zhonglin was doing this, and he must know where it was cheaper and more affordable. Then in the days when the apocalypse broke out, I went to Jin Aiying's garment factory to collect all the clothes inside.
