Chapter 45: Keep Yourself

After an entire afternoon of shopping, they finally found a place to sit.

Ah Xu felt that he had never walked such a long way, it was terrible, he looked at Feng Tang with tired eyes and was still full of energy drinking milk tea, and thought to himself, don't go shopping with Feng Tang in the future.

Don't have your memories and life experience back yet, you will die of exhaustion on the street first.

In the milk tea shop, Feng Tang happily took a sip of milk tea and sighed with satisfaction: "Ah...... It's been a long time since I've been shopping with Nozomi! ”

Zhu Xixi on the side smiled reluctantly, today she really didn't have a clear mind and proposed to go shopping, under normal circumstances, she avoided shopping with Feng Tang, a shopping superman.

What a frustration......

"That's right!" Feng Tang remembered something, and asked with a sly smile on his face, "How have you been with that Li Jiaang recently?" ”

Speaking of Li Jiang, Zhu Xixi saw the scene of Li Jiang kneeling on the ground to help others do cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with an anxious tone and dissatisfied eyes......

"What's the fuss?" Feng Tang waved his hand in front of Zhu Xixi and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ah Xu continued: "There are dead people in our house. ”

"What?" Feng Tang's attention was really diverted, his eyes widened in surprise, he subconsciously covered his mouth, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" How can someone die suddenly? ”

"I don't know." Ah Xu shook his head and said, "Last night, the people suddenly disappeared, and now the whole corridor is full of mourning, so we just came out." That woman was suddenly ......"

As he was talking, Zhu Xixi patted his arm and reminded him, "Don't talk about the details, she will be afraid." ”

"Oh." Ah Xu obediently closed his mouth.

Feng Tang on the other side unconsciously made up a lot of scary pictures, holding his face and saying worriedly: "Oh my God, this is too terrifying!" Xixi, that place can't be lived, move out quickly, it's all dead! ”

Zhu Xixi comforted her and said, "It's okay, have you forgotten what your Uncle Qiao is doing?" It won't have an impact. ”

Feng Tang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Then will Uncle Qiao come?" Help you look at the house. ”

"Don't tell Zhu Qiao!" Zhu Xixi quickly reminded, "You can't say anything about me moving out." ”

"Okay......" Feng Tang's expression had a hint of imperceptible loss.

In the evening, the three of them had dinner together, and Zhu Xixi and Ah Xu sent Feng Tang back to the school dormitory.

On the way back to the rental house. Zhu Xixi suddenly proposed: "Let's go back." ”

Ah Xu wanted to say that he had walked enough today, but he thought that he would have to endure the sorrow of the other door after going back, and Zhu Xixi wanted to take a walk, so let's go.

The two of them walked on the dark road, only the street lamps carried a warm yellow light, trying to warm the hearts of passers-by.

There are too many emotions hidden after dark, and pedestrians rush each with their own troubles.

The two of them came to an uphill road without saying a word, and in front of them was an old man pushing a long wooden cart full of various fruits, and it seemed that he was going to sell fruits in the snack street near the rental house.

The old man was old, and it was very difficult to push the wooden cart uphill, and he could hear heavy wheezing when he walked slowly.

Seeing this, Ah Xu walked forward quickly, stretched out his little hand to help the old man push the cart and said, "I'll help you." ”

When the old man saw that it was a child who came to help, he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, little friend, but you better stay out of the way, be careful that the car will hit you if it slides down!" ”

"It's okay." Ah Xu insisted on pushing the cart.

"Then be careful, little friend." The old man looked at Ah Xu with loving eyes and nodded and said.

Zhu Xixi, who was walking aside, was still expressionless, looking at Ah Xu's efforts to push the cart and said: "Obviously, I don't understand my life, but I can't see the suffering of others, and you are not as tall as a car." ”

She said as she slowed down, keeping pace with the flatbed.

"It's a handful to be able to help, maybe it's because of my own slim future that I can empathize and want to lend a hand." Ah Xu stubbornly pushed the cart, and his breathing became heavy.

The old man sighed with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to be a young child, but you are quite old-fashioned when you speak." Who are you this girl? ”

"She's my sister." Ah Xu said this sentence very skillfully.

The old man glanced at Zhu Xixi with a strange gaze and said, "You are still a child, you are more caring, and you will definitely be productive when you grow up." ”

Zhu Xixi heard what the old man meant, and he knocked on the side to ask him to help, but she didn't want to.

Everyone has their own life, and temporarily helping the old man to push the cart will not change any reality, but will increase his expectations of the kindness of others and rely on the help of others.

Ah Xu on the side said to the old man: "It's okay grandpa, I'm a man, I should be." ”

Then he looked up at Zhu Xixi's indifferent side face and said, "I understand your wariness of strangers, everyone has a way of treating this world. It doesn't matter if you don't help, no one will criticize you, and you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Maybe Ah Xu felt that he was speaking too seriously, and joked: "Why don't you be a cheerleader next to you, cheer us on." ”

These words were like a spring breeze blowing into Zhu Xixi's ears, gently and softly brushing through his heart, itchy, weird.

The people around you seem to like to preach, so that you should treat others with a generous heart, tolerate others with a tolerant heart, and look at others with enthusiastic eyes.

Zhu Xixi is the same, she has heard too many such voices, and she still keeps her pace in the noise and goes against the people around her.

In such a lonely life, someone suddenly told her that she could remain indifferent and not deliberately cater to anything.

Zhu Xixi's heart felt deeply touched, and she couldn't say what she felt specifically, so she had to turn her head away and not look at it.

At the end of the uphill road, you need to push hard to push it completely.

Ah Xu's small body exerted all his strength, his face was red, listening to his vigorous voice, Zhu Xixi still stretched out his hand to help push it, and finally pushed the car onto the flat road.

"Whew!" Ah Xu gasped heavily, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Come up!" ”

The old man smiled and said, "The child is amazing, don't leave yet." ”

He stopped Ah Xu and Zhu Xixi, who were about to turn away, and tore off a plastic bag with several oranges and said, "The stupid oranges I planted are sweet, taste them." ”

"Thank you! No more! Ah Xu waved his hand to refuse.

Zhu Xixi directly took out his mobile phone to scan the code and asked, "How much?" ”

The old grandfather said with a blank face: "You girl, you don't know how to behave in the world, you might as well be a child, this is a good reward from your grandfather, take it quickly." ”

He said and stuffed it into Ah Xu's arms, but there was no way, Ah Xu had to take the orange and say, "Thank you, grandpa!" ”

"It's grandpa, thank you!" The old man smiled and waved his hand, and pushed the flatbed cart away.

After looking at the old man's smiling face and thanking him, Zhu Xixi pondered for a moment and said, "I'm very indifferent, I'm not kind at all." ”

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own attitude towards the world, this kind of thing is voluntary, it's love to help, it's duty not to help, you don't want to help, I'll just come." Ah Xu said and took out an orange from the plastic bag, and said while peeling it, "No one stipulates what a person must look like, it is not easy to maintain yourself, and you haven't done anything harmful, um!" So sweet, give! ”

Zhu Xixi listened to what Ah Xu said, lowered her head and took the orange handed over by him, it was indeed quite sweet, and she also felt a little relaxed in her heart.

As soon as they walked downstairs, the sound of mourning music came out, and Ah Xu said with a sad face: "He won't play music all night, right?" How do you sleep this night? ”

"Go talk to him." Zhu Xixi said and went upstairs.

Ah Xu swallowed the orange in his mouth and hurriedly followed to remind: "Don't hit people." ”

When they came to the third floor, through the sound of mourning, they all heard a familiar voice sound: "No need to send it, you mourn." ”

Sure enough, Li Jiang walked out of the opposite door, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhu Xixi and Ah Xu, who had just gone upstairs, with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Ah Xu was a little surprised, quickly glanced at Zhu Xixi, walked to Li Jiang's side and asked, "Brother Jiaang, why are you here?" Eating oranges? ”

"Thank you, Xu." Li Jiaang raised his hand and rubbed Ah Xu's hair, smiled awkwardly, pointed to the door and said, "I'll take a look...... After all, it was the ...... we witnessed the death of his wife."

And Zhu Xixi stood in place and didn't know what to say for a while, and after the two of them made eye contact, they didn't naturally dodge.

Ah Xu took Li Jiang's hand and said, "Since you're here, sit down for a while, your coat is still at my house, come on." ”

"I ......" Li Jiaang showed a little resistance, but only a little.

Ah Xu stood in front of the door and gave Zhu Xixi a look and said, "Open the door." ”

Zhu Xixi lowered his eyes and walked over to open the door, turned sideways to let the two of them in, and glanced at the door again before closing the door, just to find that the man kneeling on the ground stretched his neck to look at them, and after making eye contact with Zhu Xixi, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to cry.

This man must be tired.

In the living room, Ah Xu pulled Li Jiang to sit down and said, "You talk, I'll go and send oranges to Brother Han Fei to eat!" ”

"Hey!" Zhu Xixi grabbed Ah Xu, who was flying fast with her calf, and she felt a little embarrassed to be with Li Jiang.

But Ah Xu pushed her hand away, gave a look, shook his head slightly, and said, "You guys, if you have something to say, say it to your face." ”

After Ah Xu went out, he went upstairs with his head down, and he didn't dare to look at the pair of paper lanterns hanging on the door and the crystal coffin facing the door, which was strange and scary.

Ah Xu, who came to the fifth floor, knocked on the door and said loudly, "Brother Han Fei! It's me, Ah Xu! ”

After a while, Han Fei came to open the door and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Send oranges!" Ah Xu shook the plastic bag in his hand and squeezed it into the room unceremoniously.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that the cabinet with many bells and whistles was empty, and he pointed to the cabinet and asked, "What about the contents of the cabinet?" ”

"Thrown." Han Fei closed the door and walked to the sofa, making room for Ah Xu to sit on, and said, "It's all useless things." ”

Ah Xu sat down and put the oranges on the coffee table and asked, "Then will you move away?" ”

"Not yet." Han Fei looked around and said, "Let's wait a while." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ah Xu who was going to sit here all the time and asked, "What about your sister?" ”

"She's chatting with Brother Li Jiaang, and I don't want to disturb her." Ah Xu lowered his head and peeled oranges and said, "Let them talk alone." ”

Han Fei picked up an orange and said in thought, "Tsk...... I still feel that your sister is not Li Jiang's favorite type. ”
