Chapter 15: Farewell to the Little Blue House

As far as parting is concerned, it is just a long trip. - Zhu Zhe

When the sun rose halfway up the mountain, Zhu Zhe barely made it back to the little blue house at eight o'clock. He carried a bag of ingredients in his hand, and he had already thought of what he wanted to eat for breakfast on the way.

Walking up the stairs and standing in the doorway, he noticed that the room felt different from usual, an indescribable strangeness that made him feel uncomfortable, as if something was watching him.

He was about to twist the doorknob, but the door creaked open, the hallway was dim, and all the curtains in the living room were drawn. He cautiously walked in and shouted, "Boy? Is that you? If yes, come out, what do you want for breakfast? No one answered, but the door slammed shut, and he couldn't see anything. He touched the wall and pressed the switch of the light, but it didn't come on.

Zhu Zhe walked to the living room in the dark, put the bag on the dining table, and was about to walk to the studio with his legs, but he didn't know what was mixed with something, and he stumbled and almost fell. He turned his head and saw that the two corners of the table were standing upright, and one corner was carrying a bag. He sat on the ground in fright, and there was such a strange thing in the dimly lit room, which overwhelmed him more than seeing the stubble man and the pot head: "What the hell are you?" ”

The corner of the dining table made a piercing grinding sound on the ground, and then there was a scene that made Zhu Zhe unbelievable! Sofas, throw pillows, carpets, chairs, vases, mops...... All the ornaments in the living room moved around him. "Boy? Brat? He tried to call Ma Jiujun out, but there was no one to be seen. At this time, he realized that Ma Jiujun might have left a long time ago, and the current bad situation was due to that little ghost!

He jumped over the dining table and landed in the kitchen, pulling the sliding door of the kitchen to keep the strange things out. Leaning against the stove, he wondered when the boy had this ability, and he had been hiding for years without being discovered. Thinking about it, I feel at ease, if the kid is a stranger, then fighting outside is one more means to have one more life, which is also a good thing! Just when he was doing complex psychological activities, the knife in the cabinet above was suspended in his back, and the sharp blade took the opportunity to point directly at Zhu Zhe's neck, the light and shadow skimmed, and there was no blood, Zhu Zhe bent down and easily dodged, and when he looked up, the knives, dishes and chopsticks in the cabinet were all on the battlefield, menacing.

"Still playing really?"

A loud bang broke out in the kitchen, and the flat door was pushed down directly, Zhu Zhe jumped into the living room, and before he could land, he was hit by the dining table and returned to the encirclement. He stood in the circle, and as long as he didn't move, the knives flying out of the kitchen didn't attack. But as soon as he stepped out of the circle, the furniture door slammed into him like crazy, and he had to retreat again.

"I see! Okay, I'm not going anywhere! ”

Zhu Zhe stood straight in the circle, he understood what the kid was, he was ambushed from the moment he entered the door, and he used this trick to delay time, but he didn't expect that he would be calculated by the kid one day. Then he stayed honestly, these pieces of furniture didn't have the ability to keep him, he compromised because as long as he moved, it would cause great damage to this room, and he didn't want to see the little blue house end up ruined in his own hands.

He closed his eyes and waited, time passed slowly, until the scorching sun was in the sky, there was a sound of heavy objects smashing on the floor, the time of restraint was over, he opened his eyes and saw the messy appearance of the living room, left the encirclement, pushed open the door of the studio, except for the tables and shelves, tools, drawings, and machinery were removed, and the storage room next door was empty!

"Gone! All gone! ”

Zhu Zhe was a little disappointed, because he rarely wanted to give the kid a good farewell, but he didn't want to be calculated. The next time we meet again, he will teach the kid a good lesson and teach him what the most basic etiquette is.

"Leave such a mess behind."

Zhu Zhe rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up the miserable situation. If the kid had a different way, he might really have set out to bring the kid back, and then he would teach him a hard lesson, and the way of saying goodbye without saying a word would be impolite and the most hurtful.

Kitchen utensils were scattered on the floor, and there was a boxy dishwasher covered in tin patches next to it. On weekdays, it is placed under the dishwasher, and he doesn't notice it too much, counting this year, this machine has been used for seven years, and it turns out that the kid has repaired this machine so many times.

He crouched down and stroked the rough repair marks, if the dishwasher was honestly squatting in the kitchen, where would it be bruised? The key is that the kid likes to add some bells and whistles to the kitchen things, and sometimes he is happy to cook in the kitchen, and suddenly he is shocked by the inexplicable behavior of the dishwasher, and he inevitably kicks it. Ah Xia proposed a solution to this matter, which put an end to the trouble caused by the dishwasher.

It was the spring of 1928, and Zhu Zhe brought the prepared sandwiches, fresh milk and fruit salad to the table, and called the boy who was still in the studio to come out.

The boy jolted from the room to the chair and said, "Uncle Zhe, I have something I want to show you!" ”

Zhu Zhe knew that the kid must have prepared something, and every time a new work came out, he could see the answer from the boy's face, and he asked expectantly: "I want to guess?" ”

The kid held his chin and said, "Uh-huh, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Zhe pretended not to know, but in fact, when he was in the kitchen, he found that the dishwasher was missing again, and he said, "Is it a sofa or a chair?" ”

"Haha, that's wrong, it's a third-generation dishwasher!" There was a square machine behind the kid, and it didn't look any different, "Uncle Zhe, you can try it later!" ”

Zhu Zhe nodded, thinking to himself what this naughty kid was doing tricks again. After the two of them had breakfast, when he was about to use the processed dishwasher in the kitchen, as soon as he pressed the switch, the horns attached to both sides were deafening, and the boy's pre-prepared voice came from inside: "Uncle Zhe, do you want to wash the dishes?" ”

"Wash, of course." Compared with the previous generation of incomplete songs, this time it looks like it is neat. The second generation is a singing dishwasher, which is really scary, it can't stop the greeting on his toes, and it was scrapped in less than a day.

He put all the bowls in the machine, closed the door, and pressed the switch. He's already lifted his feet, and if he sings this time, he's going to erase the machine forever. The machine ran for two minutes, and there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly the dishwasher made a loud noise, and he raised his legs to destroy the horn, but the dishwasher grew two hands to block the attack, and then two feet stretched out from the bottom of the plate, got up and crawled out from under the stove, jumped out of the window, and ran towards the mound to the north!

Zhu Zhe patted his forehead, he didn't expect the kid to play like this time. He went to the studio to get the kid back the dishwasher, but saw a note on the door that the kid had left that said, "I don't know where the dishwasher is going!" A smiling face was drawn on the back.

He had no choice but to go out and find it by himself, and went all the way north, following the dishwasher to the woods on the outskirts of Ganshan. At the same time, he saw the boy surrounded by several wolves, and the boy was holding a rabbit covered in blood in his arms.

"It's going to be a disaster!" He figured out the boy's calculations, and it turned out that he wanted to take him away so that he could come to Ganshan to play. He exerted his strength with both feet and directly kicked the wolf that was about to attack the kid.

He was about to leave with the boy in his arms, when a long pink tongue flew out from the bushes and swept away the rabbit in the boy's arms. Later, he learned that the rabbit had been found by the kid in a field of wild vegetables to the north, and he wanted to send it back but was attacked by a strange beast. As for the dishwasher, it was left in the woods, and it was used as a sandbag to vent its anger by the wolves.

After this incident, a new dishwasher came to the kitchen, although it still couldn't escape the boy's two repairs, but it was also up to the point. Ah Xia is right, let the kid do it if he wants to, where is a dishwasher enough for him to toss, and he will get tired of it after a few times.

Zhu Zhe moved the dishwasher on the floor back under the stove, and then cleaned up the other messes, and it took an hour to reluctantly restore the living room to its original state and become clean and tidy.

Whew, he crossed his hands on his hips and rested. The hour hand on the wall falls on the number twelve, and outside the window is the fiercely scorching sun. The kid should have left the forbidden land at this time, and he doesn't know where to go!

"What should come must come, what should go must go!"

He took off his tuxedo, folded it neatly, placed it on the couch, and changed into a simple outfit.

This dress has been with him for ten years, and since the kid has left, there is no need for him to continue to stay in the little blue house, the ten-year task, when it is time to say the end, from this moment on, he is no longer the housekeeper of the little blue house.

One day in the future, the boy may return here, when he opens the door and sees the living room covered with ash and this tuxedo, the memories of the past will flow like water, half to his brain, half to his tear ducts, evoking the calm and leisurely life scenes he experienced here, which is also the last gift Zhu Zhe left to the boy.

Now, Zhu Zhe has more important things to do, take out the note he got from the man from his pocket, read the address on the paper in his heart silently, and keep in mind that he is going to get back his second life!

"It's time for me to go!"

Zhu Zhe closed the gate and ran quickly towards the Ganyuan tributary to the south, he climbed over the low mounds, and finally disappeared at the intersection of heaven and earth.

The old little blue house was left in the deserted ruins, quietly waiting for the people to return one day and write its own story again!
