Liu Dongli disappeared again.

After a day of calling, it wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that Huai Shi finally confirmed this.

To be exact, I learned from the Shengtianmu family: Miss Pear Blossom went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet.

I didn't answer the phone, I didn't reply to WeChat, I couldn't find a place, and I was like a dog man who suddenly said that he had to go on a business trip because of official business, and together with a beautiful female boss, he only booked one room with a limited budget......

"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

Huai Shi pinched her phone and was furious.

"Oh roar, 'What does the time jumper want to do' This is one of the top ten difficult problems in the world, and the difficulty of solving it is probably second only to 'what is going on in my girlfriend'?"

Tong Ji sighed: "I'm afraid he's avoiding you."

After all, he is a time jumper, and if he wants to find someone, there is always a way, in other words, if he doesn't want to be found, I'm afraid that no matter how much time you spend, it will be in vain.

Once you have been in that state for a long time, your thinking will gradually become different from ordinary people, and you had better not take it for granted. ”

It's as if the world is different from ordinary people in the eyes of a painter, and the musician is more sensitive to sound.

This is the difference that comes with a long period of immersion.

Ordinary people's thinking relies on the senses, and the senses are limited by people's own body structure and cognition, and there is no way to break through the ordinary framework to think about the world through the eyes of time jumpers.

I can't get close to their thinking.

After the continuity of time is interrupted, the cause and effect on which ordinary people rely will also be clear from a bird's-eye view, and in the midst of countless intricate changes, no one knows where the knot of Liu Dongli's focus is, nor what kind of result he is seeking.

Perhaps, he has long been lost in this endless cycle......

'Time jumping' and 'changing the future' are always two different things.

All along, the Rainbow Bridge's time hoppers have been confronted with a mocking paradox – the more they want to change, the more they consume.

If something isn't so serious that it requires a time jump, then there's no need to make a time jump and pay more for it.

But if a matter has reached the point where it is irreparable, it is most likely not to be used again if the time jump is repeated.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Even if you spend an extra day in the sun, avalanches are still inevitable.

With the efforts of Liu Dongli alone, no matter how many times he retraces, he can't change the tide......

"Reality is not a game, Huaishi, even if it can solve the problem, but I have never heard of the truth that you can have a happyend by cheating. “

Tong Ji said pityingly: "Even if it is a miracle, there are things that cannot be changed. ”

"As a result, after suddenly throwing the alliance's affairs at me like a mess, he himself slapped his ass and flashed people?"

Huai Shi slapped the table and was furious: "What the hell is the reason, do you want me to work hard to call on everyone to pray for him together, hoping that people are okay?"

Kiri-hime didn't speak.

Just looked at him sympathetically.

Until he fell silent again.

In fact, if Liu Dongli could dump the pot and obediently accept treatment because of this, Huai Shi would feel a little more relaxed.

But will he really run away?

Or rather, is that guy going to turn back from his dead end?

It is said that like gathers things.

Where can Huai Shi not know what is going on in that bald head?

I'm sure I'm going to pretend to be forced when I'm dying.

Come on, man, I'll do what I have to do.

I'll take care of the rest—

In the silence, Huai Shi suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and unease.

When Liu Dongli entrusted his great trust in his hands, Huai Shi finally felt the panic and confusion he had experienced......

"Kirithime. ”

Huai Shi leaned back in her chair tiredly, and suddenly whispered, "If I finally fail here completely and lose everything, will you be disappointed in me?"

"Perhaps, I don't like people who don't do their best. Tong Ji looked into his eyes and asked curiously: "But Huaishi, even if you fail in the end, will you regret what you have done now?"

Huai Shi did not answer.

So, Tong Ji laughed softly, so pleasantly.

"Very good, Huaishi, you are indeed the best contractor in the world. ”

As the apparition of the bird dissipated, a pair of gentle palms caressed his cheeks, embraced him from behind, and gently proclaimed.

"Go ahead and do it, Huaishi. ”

She said, "Whatever the outcome, I will testify to you as you testify to me." ”

This was the original agreement between them.

The road sign touched again.

——【31】

In the morning, I clean all the living rooms before I open the door, at noon, I am in charge of serving food, and after Miss Tomoko stays behind to help, the task becomes to deliver takeaways, and deliver lunch and set meals to the strange-looking Yakuza uncles; in the afternoon, the proprietress will instruct the knife and cooking skills, and you have to study hard; when it is almost evening, you find that the roof is leaking again, and you volunteer to climb to the top of the house with wooden planks and tools.

After quickly replacing the replaced planks and mending up all the underneath, Maki put down the hammer and wiped her sweat with satisfaction.

Smug crossed his waist for a while.

It's on the roof of the third floor of an izakaya.

As the sun sets in the distance, the entire bleak city seems to be coated with a layer of gloomy splendor, and the sound of children crying can be heard in the distance, and scattered lights are lit in the dilapidated apartment buildings.

"It always feels a little cold. She sighed softly.

"Hey, Maki, come down, don't be in a daze!"

At the back of the house, Tomoko looked up at the girl who was about the same age as herself, and shouted, "It's dangerous, come down first......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, little things, Tomoko, be careful. ”

Maki waved his hand nonchalantly, lifted the toolbox, and walked in the direction of the ladder with the plank.

Then, the foot slipped.

Why is there a pair of pliers here?

Oh yes, it looks like I lost it......

In the middle of the whirlwind, before Maki could react, he had already planted himself in the ground in the backyard.

Bang.

Tomoko was stunned, and subconsciously rushed up to investigate, but as soon as he took a step forward, he saw that the toolbox on the roof of the building also fell and smashed into Maki's head, smashing the girl who had just gotten up again.

Then there are the planks that pile up on the edge of the roof......

as well as ladders.

It's like a scene from an anime, with a chain reaction that causes chaos in the backyard.

"Ah, is the bad luck here today......

In the dust, Maki opened her eyes, choked and coughed, and crawled up. And Tomoko next to him was already stunned.

Although I have known the bad luck of Maki from time to time in the past few days, it is so outrageous that it can only be compared to the time when I was walking on the street a few days ago and encountered a gas pipeline explosion, right?

"Maki, you...... Are you alright?"

"Ahem, I'm fine, fine, don't worry, I'll clean up here. ”

"I'll wait a while to clean up or something, it's more important to see if there are any wounds first, right?"

Tomoko moved the ladders and planks out of the way, only to find that although he looked embarrassed, he actually only twisted his feet, and there was not even a hole in his body.

It's just copper.

"It's outrageous......"

Tomoko was dumbfounded, "I always feel like you're the kind of person who can swim back to shore on your own even if you are thrown into the Pacific Ocean!"

"That's outrageous, it can't be done. ”

Maki waved her hand awkwardly: "The last time the ship was wrecked, I was already on the verge of swimming back to Kyushu from the Goto Islands...... Oops, I met Uncle Takahashi at the port, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. ”

Tomoko was already dumbfounded, and felt outrageous from the bottom of her heart.

It's also a mixed breed, and the gap is not ordinarily big......

Seeing that Maki had begun to pick up the things on the ground with a disgraced face, she shook her head vigorously and pulled her up: "Anyway, let's go take a shower first." The yard stuff will be talked about tomorrow!"

Half an hour later, Maki, who had finally finished cleaning up, changed into Tomoko's clothes, and after drying her hair, she was full of vitality again.

"I really envy you, it seems that you will never run out of strength. ”

Tomoko pinched the edges and corners of the muscles on her arms, as well as her solid and flat lower abdomen, and her expression became helpless: "I can't hold up a few steps now, and I have to pant when I go upstairs." ”

"I thought I used to be in the athletics club.,Tomoko, you're a literary girl.,Don't care.。 ”

Maki grinned and walked to the kitchen to get ready for work.

It's just that when I passed by the front desk, my eyes were attracted by the person in front of the door.

The old woman who came to visit with a smile on her face was holding the hand of the proprietress and saying something enthusiastically. The proprietress coped helplessly, but she didn't listen to anything.

"What does that guy do?" asked Maki in a low voice.

"The grandmother from the confectionery shop across the street seems to have joined a nearby mutual aid club recently, and has become like a salesman, who has come to the door every day in the past few days to waste other people's time, and doesn't listen to anything. ”

Tomoko shrugged helplessly.

But when the old woman saw that Zhizi had come down, her smile became more and more enthusiastic, and she wanted to bypass the proprietress and go this way. It wasn't until the proprietress intercepted her and said a few words with a serious expression that she was stunned for a moment and left.

Before leaving, he put a bottle of medicine on the counter, and encouraged Zhizi to study hard from a distance before turning around and leaving.

Seeing her walk away, the proprietress sighed helplessly, picked up the medicine bottle from the table, and shook it, there were a few pills inside, but there were no trademarks or ingredients outside.

It looks weird.

"What is this?" Maki leaned in curiously.

"It is said that it is a painkiller and has a relieving effect on complications in people with bestial characteristics, but it does not even have a label and instructions......"

The proprietress shook her head, sighed, and immediately came to her senses, turned around and said to Maki seriously: "Maki, you have to be careful, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me, don't take medicine from unknown sources." This kind of thing still needs to be used by the doctor after the kitchen has been opened by the doctor!"

"Ah, Aunt Omi, don't worry, I've always been in good health. ”

Maki laughed and gestured in a strong posture. Omi gave her a suspicious look, and repeatedly told her to make sure that she would not be stupid to take some medicine from unknown sources before relieving herself.

Next, wiping the table, cleaning up the counter, and so on, there is still a lot of waiting for Maki......

Recently, the helpers and apprentices in the shop seem to have quit, and a lot of things have fallen on her. However, in response, wages have also increased a lot.

In between work, Maki turned around one last time, glanced at the medicine bottle that the proprietress threw into the trash, and couldn't help but sneeze.

Strange taste.

It's like a stew that's been there for a long time...... Even if you can resist hunger, you will definitely have a bad stomach if you eat it, right?

"Maki, come over and chop vegetables. There was a call from the kitchen.

"Okay, okay!"

Maki turned around and trotted towards the kitchen.

Unaware of the increasingly eccentric atmosphere on the streets, it was still a busy and fulfilling day for Maki.

As the twilight faded, clouds began to appear in the sky, and a faint thunderclap could be heard in the distance.

It didn't take long for the torrential rain to fall.

Heavy rain and loud noises obscured the fires rising in the distance.
