CHAPTER XXXVIII

Xie Mo has been making trouble for several days, and this time he seems to be really angry, Ke Bei refused to speak, but when it was time to eat, he came out of the refrigerator on time to feed Ke Bei. If Ke Bei wants to go out, he will follow her silently like a spirit behind her, as long as something that threatens her appears, she will beat her up, and if she doesn't speak, she still doesn't speak, so that in the end Ke Bei has no temper.

――Or do you say yes? Isn't it just getting married......

After lunch, Ke Bei was looking for an opportunity to tease Xie Mo, when the mobile phone suddenly rang - it was Zhou Nannan.

Zhou Nannan said that she is now in Rongcheng.

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, thinking of what happened when the two of them had dinner in Wangfujing last time, and said a little strangely: "Isn't it martial law recently?" I heard that the bullet train and plane are suspended for safety reasons, how did you get back? ”

Now the most convenient and safe is bicycles, such as airplanes and trains, I am afraid that the driver will suddenly disappear in the middle of the journey, and a large number of people will die.

"Yang Fan drove me back." Zhou Nannan said, "His father knew people from the army, and he happened to pass through Rongcheng two days ago, so he sent me back by the way." ”

Ke Bei sighed, and then asked, "That...... How's my uncle's business? What about Auntie, how is your health? ”

Zhou Nannan was silent for a while, and said, "Well, it's all done, and my mother is fine." ”

Ke Bei saw that she didn't seem to want to say more, so she didn't ask again: "That's good, Auntie will probably be in a much better mood when she sees you." ”

"Yes, it's not convenient for her to do anything by herself, anyway, I'm not going anywhere during this time, I'm just staying home with my mother, oh, and-" Zhou Nannan suddenly hesitated, "Actually, someone asked me to ask you something......

"What's the matter? Slurred. ”

"Uh...... It's your dad, have you seen him lately? ”

Ke Bei was stunned, "...... No, what's wrong? ”

Zhou Nannan said with some embarrassment: "Your father's ...... Wife, came to me two days ago, saying that your father took the train to find you some time ago, and it seems that he wants to talk to you about your grandmother's house...... But after so long, I have seen people come back, and my phone has been turned off and I can't get in touch, so I want to ask if you have seen him. ”

Ke Bei chuckled in her heart, "How long has it been?" ”

"Well, it's been more than half a month......

After saying that, there was silence on both ends of the phone.

Thinking of those who disappeared during this time, they knew that Father Ke might never come back......

After hanging up the phone, Ke Bei sat on the bed in a daze, not even paying attention to when Xie Mo came out of the refrigerator slowly.

Xie Mo saw that Ke Bei was stunned, looking very bad, with an expression of wanting to cry, the whole person immediately became a fool, and it didn't matter if he got married or not, he didn't care whether he was married or not, and the dogskin ointment was like a dog skin ointment.

"Whose phone? It's making you unhappy. Xie Mo raised his chin in particular, with an expression of "sue me and I will kill him immediately".

Ke Bei smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, I just talked to Nan Nan on the phone, hmm...... I'm just a little worried about Aunt Zhou. ”

"Aunt Zhou?"

"It's Nan Nan's mother, in Rongcheng, my grandmother's house and the Zhou family are opposite, when I was young, my grandmother went out to pick up garbage and sometimes wasn't at home all day, Aunt Zhou would often ask me to go to her house for dinner," Ke Bei remembered that time, and her eyes couldn't help but light up a little, "She is really gentle and very good, I used to always think - it would be nice if I could let her be my mother." ”

Xie Mo tilted his head to look at her, "You want to see her?" ”

Ke Bei was full of worries, and let out a dispensable "um".

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Xie Mo suddenly hugged her!

Then just when Ke Bei was stunned, she only felt a flower in front of her, the scene in front of her receded like a tide, and the single room was instantly replaced by an old unit building and an uneven cement road - Xie Mo actually took her back to Rongcheng!

Ke Bei looked blankly at her surroundings—the dense trees, the rusty gym equipment in the distance, and the familiar yellowed and peeled unit with "(9)" printed on it......

Not only did she return to Rongcheng, but she also happened to be downstairs at her grandmother's house!

Ke Bei: "......"

- Just said a random word, Xie Mo teleported her over, and suddenly felt that he was so good!

- But Sue is good!

Xie Mo looked at her with a look of praise on his face.

Ke Bei reluctantly patted his dog's head: "Okay, you're the best." ”

Xie Mo stood proud, "There is no place in the world that I can't go. ”

Ke Bei: Yes, yes, you are the antivirus software of this world, you can check and kill viruses wherever you want, you can do a full scan anytime, anywhere, I know!

Although Ke Bei also wanted to visit Zhou's mother, but she appeared here immediately after making a phone call with Zhou Nannan, no matter how she thought about it, she felt a little illogical, as the saying goes, she was afraid of something, she just wanted Xie Mo to go back again, when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Beibei......" Zhou Nannan walked down from the upstairs with a garbage bag and looked at the two of them in surprise, "Why are you here?" We just called guò ......"

Of course, Ke Bei can't say that my husband took me to teleport over, so she can only hehe: "Uh...... Actually, oh, in fact, I went to Rongcheng yesterday, but I wanted to surprise you, so I didn't tell you on the phone just now, were you surprised? ”

Zhou Nannan: "......"

Ke Bei: "......"

She looked down at the pajama slippers hanging from her (she had been at home for days on end), and even she didn't feel that this reason had any credibility at all

Fortunately, Zhou Nannan, as an empathetic little angel, didn't ask any further, and after knowing that Ke Bei didn't bring anything, he asked her to go home with her to change clothes first.

Ke Bei: "Where's Auntie?" Not at home? ”

"Well, the old lady is in a good mood today, so she went to my cousin's house, and my mother and cousin have a good relationship, and they usually have to talk all night, saying that they will come back tomorrow." Zhou Nannan poured two glasses of water for them, "By the way, not to mention that the bullet train has stopped, how did you two get here?" ”

Ke Bei touched her nose a little embarrassed, "It's a long story, I just took a ride and came." ”

Zhou Nannan subconsciously glanced at Xie Mo, thinking that Ke Bei should have taken him a ride (in a sense), he was willing to accompany a girl to go out in this extraordinary period, Zhou Nannan immediately changed his opinion of Xie Mo a lot.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, Zhou Nannan looked at the time, then stood up and said, "You guys sit down first, there is no food at home, I'll go to the supermarket first." ”

Ke Bei hurriedly followed, "I'll go with you, it's too rushed...... I'll buy some groceries by the way. ”

Zhou Nannan just wanted to ask Xie Mo what to do, he couldn't let a big man follow them to buy vegetables, and then he saw Xie Mo sticking to Ke Bei like a little tail, looking like he would go wherever Ke Bei went.

Zhou Nannan: "......"

――It's good, but I don't know why I feel unpleasant when I look at it......

Because of martial law, all kinds of goods are planned, and the nearest designated shopping supermarket in Rongcheng is nearly an hour's walk from here, and when the things are bought, it is already more than four o'clock. The sky is still bright, and there are a lot of people on the street at this point, such as buying groceries, walking and eating, and so on.

Ke Bei looked at this lively scene, as if what she had experienced during this time was like a dream.

Not far away is the bus stop, a car happened to arrive at the station, Ke Bei pulled Xie Mo and was about to run over, but Zhou Nannan suddenly stopped and stared at a woman in the distance.

"What are you looking at? The car is coming! ”

"That woman ......" Zhou Nannan pursed her lips and said, "She is your father's current ......"

Before Zhou Nannan finished speaking, Ke Bei knew what it meant-her father's wife?

Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, and then followed Zhou Nannan's gaze, only to see a woman in her forties holding a boy of four or five years old, squatting next to the trash can to pick up empty bottles.

The woman was wearing a yellowish white shirt, and the clothes hung on the thin body to look particularly depressed, but the child next to her was very tiger-headed, looking very strong, and had been picking pebbles on the floor while his mother was picking up bottles.

There were so many people that the woman picked up the bottle down the street and immediately disappeared.

Ke Bei didn't know why she was following and what she wanted to see, but when she realized it, she realized that she had followed the woman for a long time.

Zhou Nannan and Xie Mo did not stop it, but kept following behind Ke Bei.

Zhou Nannan understood Ke Bei's feelings at this time and knew that she needed an end, while Xie Mo had no reason - he would go wherever Beibei went.

In this way, Ke Bei followed the woman through various alleys full of garbage, around the tall buildings, until the woman got into a low, dark building.

Ke Bei then knew that there was such a place in Rongcheng, with dilapidated buildings, greasy and dirty streets full of people's discarded scraps, crying and smashing as neighbors, and rats and cockroaches as companions.

Zhou Nannan pointed to one of the dark windows and said, "They live there." After a pause, "Actually, it's quite intolerable." ”

Ke Bei had imagined countless times that when she was full of splendid and glorious, she would humiliate and torture him arrogantly in the face of her father who abandoned her, but when the reality told you that he didn't need your efforts and that he was not doing well, Yiqiē did not make her feel as happy as she imagined.

Ke Bei glanced up, then was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Nannan wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything, and followed Ke Bei out of the dirty alley.

Affected by this incident, dinner was quite dull.

Ke Bei was in no mood to chat at all, and after eating at Zhou Nannan's house, she pulled Xie Mo and went directly back to Grandma's house on the other side.

The house has been uninhabited for several years, and there is dust everywhere, Ke Bei borrowed a set of sheets and quilts from Zhou Nannan, cleaned them at random, and then sat on the edge of the bed a little tired after taking a shower, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Xie Mo was still mopping the floor, and when he saw her like this, he came over and asked, "What's wrong, I can't sleep?" ”

"It's nothing," Ke Bei buried her head in the pillow and sighed with feeling, "Hey, it's just that I haven't been back for a long time." ”

"Not happy?"

"Happy."

"But you looked unhappy from just now."

Ke Bei poked her head out of the quilt, looked at him quietly for a while, and then patted her side: "Come and sit with me for a while." ”

When Xie Mo climbed into bed, Ke Bei pillowed his head on his lap and said slowly, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just—I can't accept it for a while." ”

Xie Mo was dumbfounded.

Ke Bei smiled and said, "When I was very young, they, even my parents, divorced. Actually, I'm quite puzzled - it is said that they were quite earth-shattering in love before they got married, but after marriage, all kinds of problems came out, my dad was a gangster in this area, he couldn't do anything except smoke and drink all day long, not only could he not support his family after marriage, but he also gambled with others all day long, and later learned to recruit prostitutes. My mother is beautiful and has good family conditions, and not long after giving birth to me, she ran away with other men......"

Xie Mo let out a dumbfounded sigh again.

Ke Bei rubbed the back of his hand with his face, feeling a little better, and then continued: "At that time, I was still young, I didn't understand anything, and the children on the street often scolded me for 'having a mother but not raising a mother' and 'a child with rags', I didn't understand what it meant, and I often ran to play with them, and then I grew up and understood, I just hated my mother to death - if she didn't want to be responsible, why did she give birth to me?" Later, I heard that my dad went to work in the magic capital and got a lot of money, but at that time, my grandmother and I could only earn some money to eat by picking up garbage all day, and I hated my dad again......"

Xie Mo frowned: "Bully you, I'll help you beat them up." ”

"yes, if you showed up earlier, maybe I wouldn't have had to work so hard, and whoever bullied me would have been beaten up!" Ke Bei smiled very happily: "But at that time, you were still cultivating in the immortal realm, and I grew up later, and I had the ability to be independent, so I looked down on what I hated or not, I thought that I must make a lot of money, and then use a stack of banknotes to shake him a few ear scrapers!" ”

She paused, then continued, "But I saw my dad like that this afternoon...... It seems that he is not as happy as I imagined, but I am not as happy as I imagined. I always thought that he was living a prosperous life in the magic capital, and I always regarded him as my goal, but the reality was far more cruel than I imagined, and I felt a little sad that he was not doing well. ”

Xie Mo rubbed her comfortingly, "He's no longer here, Beibei doesn't have to be sad anymore, he doesn't support you, I will raise you later." ”

Ke Bei's heart warmed slightly, and she patted Xie Mo's dog head: "Good job, I'm not sad about his affairs." It's just that I'm a little unwilling, I hate myself a little for being soft-hearted, he treats me like this, I can still sympathize with him. After a pause, he added: "Another point is that I feel a little uncomfortable and unbearable when I think of all the things I experienced when I was a child, which turned out to be in a virtual world, a set program. ”

What she endured and was bothered by was just a trivial program in the world, and even the patterns and results were designed, what was such a life?

She was silent for a while, then looked at Xie Mo and said, "I ask you, since the virtual passages are all open, people are evacuating back to their original world, right...... Isn't it...... One day, I'll be like those people and suddenly disappear? ”

What about you? What should you do then?

Ke Bei finally asked the most unsettling thing in her heart - Xie Mo is the antivirus software of this world, and she is just a player with an encrypted text, one day she will quit the game, and there will always be a time when they will separate......

Xie Mo didn't speak, but was silent for a while before asking, "Then if you really go back to 'over there', will you come to me in the virtual world again?" ”

"Of course!" Ke Bei said with a serious face: "I like you so much, so no matter where you are, I will try my best to come to you." ”

Xie Mo's eyes lit up, and then he hugged her and whispered, "That's okay, since you will still come to me, then we will definitely not be separated." ”

His tone was strange, as if he sighed with satisfaction, as if even if he was separated from Kebei, it would be something heartbreakingly sweet......

Ke Bei's whole person was a little groggy, there seemed to be something in her mind that needed to be broken urgently, she looked at Xie Mo's eyes and was stunned, and then blurted out: "Old Xie, let's get married." ”

Xie Mo's eyes lit up, and he sat up, "You say it again?" ”

Ke Bei's remaining timidity was banished when she met Xie Mo's eyes, and at that moment she felt as if she had no fear and was ready to hand herself over.

- Yes, Xie Mo is Xie Mo, unlike his so-called father, she loves him, he loves her, love is not to be afraid.

Ke Bei smiled and said very easily, "Let's get married." ”

Thinking about it, he said, "But...... At this time, I don't know if the Civil Affairs Bureau can open the door. ”

Xie Mo buried his face in Ke Bei's neck and smirked for a while, then ...... As soon as he raised his hand, he conjured up two marriage certificates.

Ke Bei: The ...... of the marriage certificate I'm still too naïve [manual bye-bye]

However, although Xie Mo was always clamoring to get married, he didn't seem to value the two pieces of paper very much, and threw the marriage certificate on the ground casually, and then ran to open the refrigerator door with a "click", and he didn't know which bun he took out a small box and handed it to Ke Bei with a blank eye.

Ke Bei looked at him suspiciously, then opened the box and found that there was a ring lying inside!

The shape of these two rings is very unique, and I don't know what material they are made of, but they look a little transparent, and when you touch them with your hands, they look like Q|Q sugar is just as elastic.

Ke Bei asked uncertainly, "This is the ring?" ”

Xie Mo nodded.

"For me?" Ke Bei pointed to herself.

Xie Mo didn't speak, but took out the ring and put it on the ring finger of Ke Bei's right hand, as soon as the translucent ring touched the person's finger, it slowly tightened, and then a layer of light-colored lines slowly floated on the transparent ring body, and finally it was the same as the tattoo, perfectly fitting on Ke Bei's knuckles.

Xie Mo looked at Ke Bei's hand with satisfaction, and then proudly stretched out his right hand and put it side by side with her, and there was also a circle of identical tattoos on his ring finger, "You one, I one, married!" ”

Ke Bei: "......"

How do you feel like you've bought yourself cheaply......

Ke Bei just wanted to ask Xie Mo if he could do it all over again, but he saw Xie Mo stand up with a flushed face, and walked over to turn off the bedroom light. Ke Bei blinked, and when she got used to the darkness, she found Xie Mo standing quietly by the bed watching her.

In the darkness, the eyes of the two invariably touched and intersected, like branches freely intersecting in the wind.

The hazy light came in through the window from the outside, and everything in the room seemed to be covered with a layer of silver light, and the sound of the children downstairs was gradually moving away, and there was some ambiguous atmosphere floating in the darkness, Ke Bei felt that something was wrong, and asked in a dry voice: "Xie Mo, what do you want to do?" ”

What do you want?

What do you want to do?

Why?

Dry!

Hawkers!

Oh no, after asking this sentence, Ke Bei's various yellow storm brain supplements couldn't be stopped at all.

Xie Mo hugged Ke Bei and hummed for a while, and then pushed the person to the bed suddenly, and said sullenly, "We are already married." ”

Ke Bei didn't understand what was going on at this time, then she would be really stupid, "No, no...... Do you want to now? ”

Xie Mo snorted, and then began to move his hands and feet.

"Wait, wait, it's too fast, right? I'm not ready yet! ”

"Don't we really have to do another banquet or something?"

"Hey! Where are you touching! Why is it so ...... Aren't you a bun? Isn't there no little Tintin?! ”

"Ahh It hurts......"

"Will you do it, it's all swollen!"

"Wrong, wrong, misaligned...... Forget it, thank you, get down, or I'll come......"

"Shhhh Don't move, it hurts! ”

“…… Wait a minute! It's me who hurts, what's your expression? ”
