Chapter 61: Blankets and Beer
If his uncle is the one who gave him a chance to live, then Uncle Zhang, a neighbor who has been with him for a year, is the one who gave him another way of thinking.
For example, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a meal of instant noodles and a bottle of Coke, if there is, then have another one.
During that very sad period, my uncle went to Italy to do work, and only Uncle Zhang took care of him here.
Of course, Jiang Jiu and Lin You are also his friends, but sometimes topics that cannot be opened up to their peers can be easily mentioned to the elderly, which is very strange and wonderful.
Night.
Ji You took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator, and before he was about to go out and open the door, he looked at Colonel Chongming, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa like an old monk.
Have a bed or not sleep on the sofa? Still sitting and sleeping? What about exercising your will in the middle of the night?
Forget it, he doesn't understand the world of the great gods.
As soon as Ji You raised his feet, he stopped, sighed secretly, put two cans of beer on the cabinet next to the entrance, turned around and walked over lightly, picked up the blanket next to the armrest of the sofa, and opened it.
Ji You approached, and by the moonlight that quietly sneaked into the living room, he looked to see if Chongming had a reaction to wake up.
"......" but the cat looked at it for a long time, but it showed that it was unbalanced.
Tut-tut, this is long, he really wants to change with this colonel, he is indeed more handsome than him, more manly than him, darker than him, oh no, darker than his skin, um.
Where is like him, the only two muscles that can be held still have to raise their arms and exert themselves harder.
But...... Having said that, he still prefers the colonel god with his eyes closed. At this time, even if he still had an invisible majestic aura on his body, it was better than opening his eyes and freezing to death.
Ji You felt that this great god was not the pure iceberg type, but actually more like the bottomless abyss type that had been cold for thousands of years. The indifference in all directions is overwhelming, and they don't know where they came from.
The only thing to be happy about was that he felt that his relationship with the great god seemed to have changed a little better. Chongming wouldn't even ignore him, or act directly with inexplicable killing intent as soon as he came up.
Of course, if he can be more competent as a bait in the future, I hope that the great god will not throw him away and push him into the pile, can't he go by himself?
In a flash of thought, Ji You had already covered Colonel Chongming with a small blanket.
Then he acted like a thief again, bent his waist, his steps were light, and he ran back to the entrance with a jumping and jumping body, and turned his head sideways to sneak a glance at the movement on the sofa again.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds......
Nice, perfect. The colonel didn't wake up, let's go~
The moment the door closed, Chongming slowly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in his dark eyes.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and saw the blanket on his body, which seemed to be scattered in the moonlight, and was as white as snow. Chongming moved his hand, pulled the blanket up again, and closed his eyes again.
- Stupid indeed.
This is Colonel Shigeaki's first judgment of Ji You. He is able to regulate his body temperature to a certain extent, and he can calmly cope with not extreme cold and heat.
- Too easy to trust people, not alert enough, too poor in force......
This is Colonel Shigeaki's second, third, and fourth ...... to Ji You Judgment. In short, to train him systematically, it must be done in advance.
However, the strict and indifferent colonel, at the same time, had in his mind thoughts that were very inconsistent with his character:
The blanket is nice and enough to protect against the cold.
Completely unaware that his every move has been analyzed by someone Completely stupid Comrade Ji You, humming a song, walked out of the elevator on the top floor, and then came to the terrace on the top floor.
"Knock knock."
Ji You symbolically knocked on the iron door of the terrace a few times, and looked at the thoughtful man sitting not far away with a smile:
"Good evening, Uncle Zhang."
This terrace was bought by Uncle Zhang a few years ago, just to come here to blow the wind and play chess when there is nothing to do. Since I met Himeyou more than a year ago, the number of regulars here has increased from one person to two people.
One old and one young, it looks like a year-old friend.
"Xiaoyou, why are you here? I didn't seem to be at home much yesterday, and then I hurried out again, aren't you tired? Although Uncle Zhang was surprised, he also knew that Ji You was this kind of character.
Sure enough, I saw Ji You sitting on another rattan chair with a buttocks, and he was used to it at first glance, which was very polite.
"Alas, no, Xiaoyou I, I suddenly woke up from a dream, and then watched the sky at night, pinched my fingers, uncle, you must be here. So, out of the beautiful tradition of Dongzhou Kingdom, I came up to honor the elderly. β
As he spoke, Ji You took out two cans of beer from the pockets on both sides of the white sweater, which were not very cold, and he never dared to use too much electricity in the refrigerator, and every time he adjusted it to the highest limit, the freezer layer was not opened at all.
"Oh, uncle, let's have a bottle together." Ji You turned his head sideways and said with a smile.
Uncle Zhang was holding a cane in his hand, stunned for a moment, and the wrinkles on his face kept changing as he spoke, "Xiaoyou, why do you think of drinking?" What did you do with the unhappiness again? β
"Oh, yes." Ji You showed a particularly aggrieved expression, snorted pitifully, and blinked. "So uncle, didn't you say before, if there is anything you can't get over and forget about eating and drinking, come on, let's have a drink together?"
Ji You said, opened the two bottles of wine "click", and handed a bottle to Uncle Zhang, he didn't think about whether people could drink at such an old age.
Actually, he wanted to bring two boxes of instant noodles or two bottles of Coke. But there is no one at home, these two bottles of beer were directly given by Yu Xiao when she went to the supermarket to buy snacks.
Uncle Zhang looked at the beer, the hand supported by the cane trembled, and he suddenly said:
"Rhubarb, can't you come back?"
ββ¦β¦β
Ji You was holding the beer to his mouth, and when he heard this, his hand shook, and the full beer spilled out, and the slightly cool liquid slowly flowed on the back of his hand.
How...... That's right......
Ji You immediately raised his hand, poured a few sips, put down the beer, as if he was angry with someone, and a "pop" sound fell on the rattan table.
"I'll find it ......"
Uncle Zhang tilted his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the starry sky twinkling above his head, and said after a while:
"When people are old, in poor health, and about to retire, their intuition will be a little more accurate than that of young people. You, Uncle Zhang, and I, have actually had this premonition in my heart for a long timeββ"
"I can't say what day, Rhubarb left ......"
Ji You listened and listened, a sour feeling surged up his nose, he had rarely touched wine in 18 years, and he vaguely felt as if he was drunk, but he couldn't hold back his emotions.
He said intermittently: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, I still remember that when I just moved rhubarb and saw me, I came to pounce, although it looked like it was going to bite me, but it was the first time I had close contact with a small animal, soft and ......warm."
Seems to have licked his face and saliva?
"And I never understood why, rhubarb's attitude towards me turned so badly later......"
Ji You recalled, but he didn't notice that the neighbor uncle next to him seemed to be a different person at the moment.
The blue light flashed, dΓ©jΓ vu.
