Chapter 18: Rooftop Cabin
Xu Sangtian arrived at the place where he agreed to meet the landlord, and only then did he know why there was such a cheap rental house on the boundary of the imperial capital. She walked through the glittering cities and magnificent buildings of the imperial capital to the old housing area that hid behind the city.
The houses here are old, and the skin on the walls has fallen off, as if they have a skin disease, and the lesions have been cut away with a knife, revealing the old brick walls inside. The bricks and tiles on the houses began to crack, and the protective skin of the street lamp finally admitted defeat under the impact of wind, frost, rain and snow, and the iron sheet in the body was oxidized and rusted. But it's very quiet, and there is less noise in the city, and life here becomes very slow.
The landlord is a kind aunt with the surname Zhou. Aunt Zhou couldn't stop praising her for being beautiful when she saw Xu Sangtian for the first time. Xu Sangtian smiled slightly and talked politely with her aunt.
Aunt Zhou liked Xu Sanantian more and more, but she didn't expect Xu Sangtian to come to rent her house. Such a beautiful girl, cultivated, temperamental, aunt is also a person with children, thinking that her children may also be looking for cheap housing like Xu Sangtian, the mother's love in her heart rises, where is she willing to let Xu Sanantian live in the basement.
Aunt Zhou did not take Xu Sangtian to the basement, but went to the rooftop that had been empty all along. Although Xu Santian was stunned, he was very grateful to his aunt and kept thanking him.
Aunt Zhou waved her hand to indicate that it was okay: "Girl, this house on the rooftop is relatively small, and it will leak when it rains, so I haven't rented it out." If you rent it, I'll let my house fix it for you. There's some of our miscellaneous stuff in there, and you'll see if there's anything you can use, and if not, I'll take them all. ”
"Auntie, thank you! Thank you! Xu Sangtian didn't know what else to say now except to thank him. The human heart is sometimes so strange, the high one keeps calculating without pity, but the low one has a sunny heart and a gentle heart.
"Eh, what thanks. It's hard enough for a girl to come here alone, leaving her family and friends. I didn't do you much of a favor and could only provide you with a place to stay. The basement is dark, I'm afraid you'll be scared if you live. People, it's better to look at the sunshine. ”
Xu Sangtian's throat suddenly choked a little, she was not afraid of hurt from her friends, she was not afraid of being alone, and she was not afraid of running into walls everywhere in this turbid circle, but she was afraid of a little care from strangers.
This will make her strong heart soft, it will make her put away her edges and corners, it will make her covet such care, it will make her want to go back to Germany, throw herself into her father's arms, and say that she misses him.
Xu Sanantian and Aunt Zhou tidied up the rooftop hut together, and after most of the day, there was only a small bed, a dresser, a desk, and a small wardrobe left in the house. Although it is a small world, Xu Sangtian has become relieved. With a place to stay, the rest can be resolved slowly.
Aunt Zhou enthusiastically left Xu Santian to eat at home, but Xu Sangtian did not refuse. She was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, where was there any hypocrisy. After eating, Xu Sangtian chatted with Aunt Zhou for a while, and remembered Xie Jinsong lying in the hospital, so he decided to go and see him.
When I arrived at the hospital, it was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still reflected on the soft clouds, which were dyed with patches of red glow. The ward was quiet, except for Xie Jinsong's even breathing. Xu Sangtian suddenly felt that such a time was very beautiful.
She looked at the medicine in the infusion bottle, which was almost finished. Ring the bedside bell, and it wasn't long before a nurse came to give him a new medicine.
