Chapter 17: Rainy Nights and Mornings
"Boom!"
Thunder roared in the middle of the night, and then the rain fell like the sky, and it was another thunderstorm night.
Wang Li woke up from his sleep, and then quickly got up and went outside the room.
Their small apartment has a total of one bedroom, Jiang Wei gave him this bedroom, so he slept directly in the sofa bed outside.
The weather of thunderstorms, especially the night of thunderstorms, Wang Li knew that this was a shadow in his mother's heart.
He hurriedly rushed out, just in time to see his mother huddled on the sofa with the quilt in her arms......
"Mom, shall we watch TV for a while?"
He asked.
Jiang Hui's face was a little pale, but he was still brave in front of his son.
She said, "Go to bed, you have work tomorrow." ”
Wang Li shook his head and said: "My work will be completed today, it is not certain whether there is an order tomorrow, it doesn't matter if I go later." ”
Jiang Rui said again: "What kind of stupid thing to say, your boss will be angry." ”
Wang Li instantly remembered the old horse...... Then he gasped with a 'hiss~'.
Jiang Wei asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Li swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "I'm a little worried about my boss, that is, my teacher......"
According to the place where he found the old horse in the past two days, he must not be being washed by the torrential rain at this time, right?
Jiang Yu: "He...... What's wrong? ”
She was completely confused.
Wang Li said: "Forget it, don't worry about him now...... I'll just go there in the morning. ”
With that, he turned on the TV, turned up the volume, and sat on the sofa to watch with his mother.
Jiang Hui wanted him to go back to sleep by himself, but he had no choice, so he could only choose to go with him in the end.
She also watched with her, and soon her head rested on her son's shoulder and slowly fell asleep.
The thunder faded away, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.
It's a good feeling to rely on your son like this......
Wang Li also felt tired, so he turned off the TV and fell asleep in this position.
Hotaru stood beside her, tilted her head and pondered for a moment, and then brought a light quilt from Wang Li's room to cover the mother and son.
She herself came to the other side of Wang Li timidly, and then got into the quilt as well...... Tentatively, he also leaned his head on the master's body.
It's a pity that she can't reach Wang Li's shoulders short, so she can only stuff her head into his squeaky socket.
……
The next morning, the rain was still falling.
Jiang Wei woke up early, she rubbed her somewhat sour neck, and got up cautiously, for fear of waking up her son.
Their mother and son have relied on each other for more than ten years, and they are used to thinking about each other.
Wang Li still woke up, in fact, he found that his mental state had eased, and after his body nutrition kept up, he needed less sleep a day.
It's like last night, even though I only slept for more than four hours, I was still very energetic.
He said, "Mom, I'll go to the teacher first." ”
Jiang Wei looked at the time helplessly and said, "It's only five o'clock now, people shouldn't have gotten up yet, right?" ”
Wang Li said: "That's why I want to go and see it." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm just going to see, you can hurry up and have breakfast and go to work......"
Jiang Hui watched Wang Li leave helplessly, and she was sensitive to the changes in her son.
It seems that as he found that job, Wang Li has become more and more assertive.
This made her a little stunned, but more than that, happy.
This means that Wang Li is finally ready to face the outside society.
……
Wang Li went out with an umbrella.
The noodle shop in front of the house has already opened.
"Boss, let's have another bowl of noodles...... No, I'm going to add shredded meat this time. ”
Wang Li hesitated for a moment and chose to add vegetables to himself.
After all, I'm making a lot of money now.
"Okay, a bowl of shredded pork noodles!"
The boss shouted and began to follow.
In fact, there are only him and the proprietress of the back kitchen in the store, and there are no other customers except Wang Li.
It didn't take long for the boss to bring a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
Then he said, "Young man, let's eat, fortunately you ordered shredded pork noodles, if it's a big row of noodles or big bone noodles or something, we haven't prepared them yet." ”
Wang Li also had a little chat in mind, and said, "So boss, do you have to get up so early every day to prepare toppings?" ”
The boss said, "So early? It's not early, we're going to be ready to open at half-past three. ”
"You don't have anyone here now, and after half past five, those who leave early will come to eat noodles...... You have to eat well in the morning, otherwise you will be hungry before noon. ”
Wang Li listened as if he didn't understand.
After eating the noodles in a hurry, when he left, customers began to come in one after another in this noodle shop.
"Boss, do I still have fried fish heads?"
"Come on, keep it for you!"
A middle-aged uncle dressed as a sanitation worker laughed heartily.
Sitting at the table and eating the fried fish head served to you feels the happiest thing in the world.
Feeling Wang Li's gaze, the middle-aged uncle also beckoned to him and recommended: "The young man is also hungry?" Then remember to come early next time, this morning, there are a total of two pieces of fried fish heads, and if you come late, you can only eat fish segments! ”
Wang Li nodded implicitly, and then walked outside.
He walked outside with an umbrella, it was still raining heavily, but the street was already getting busy.
There are also many people who come to this noodle shop......
The faces of these people are full of the wind and frost of the years and the hardships of life, and Wang Li is the owner of the opposite shop sincerely admired...... This boss is just to take care of these people, so he opened the store so early!
And to be honest, the noodle prices inside are really affordable.
Wang was a little touched, and felt that he would have a designated 'canteen' in the future.
The noodle soup has a lot of oil and water, and it also gives him a strong sense of satiety.
He walked briskly in the rain with an umbrella, and he was in a good mood...... Now he finally has a feeling of integrating into the city.
He walked briskly in the rain, and Hotaru followed quickly with her short legs beside her, and she looked very comfortable under the rain, and even ran in circles to the front......
Wang Li looked at this scene with warmth in his eyes, and after a while, he came to the 'Lao Ma Grocery Store'.
Then, unfortunately, his teacher was found in the garbage heap.
This time, almost his whole body was soaked in all kinds of garbage and kitchen waste, and it seemed that he had already tasted it.
Wang Li grabbed him by one foot in disgust and dragged him out of the garbage heap.
The rain washed over for a while, but the smell was unbearable.
However, this time the old horse did not sleep soundly, and woke up under the rain wash.
He sat up blankly and looked up at Wang Li......
"Are you here?"
He still hasn't figured out what's going on.
But then he stood up, looked at the trash can behind him, and hurriedly said, "I just fell down when I was taking out the garbage here in the morning......"
He's making amends.
It seems that it is a very shameful thing to be rummaged out of the trash can by a student early in the morning.
Wang Li was stunned at that time.
I don't know how I've slept in my room for the past two days!
He waited for Lao Ma to finish speaking, and then said faintly: "Teacher, you forgot that the day before yesterday you gave me the key to open the door, and when I obeyed you to go in yesterday, you still spit out a big mouthful at the door......"
The old horse's face flushed instantly, and he felt that he was dead.
Hey, it looks like the old horse's wine didn't reach last night, but this time he sobered up so early.
Wang Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, why don't we go in and talk about it?" ”
"I'm afraid that if you get caught in the rain like this, you'll catch a cold."
When Lao Ma heard this, he immediately nodded again and again: "Let's go, let's go in first." ”
He trembled and began to feel for the key.
Of course, I didn't touch it...... His keys were lost yesterday.
Wang Li had no choice but to come to the back door of the 'Lao Ma Grocery Store' by himself, and with a touch of his hand at the lock cylinder, the door lock opened by itself......
To be honest, the 'Spiritual Light Exploration Array' attached to "Healing Aura" brought Wang Li more than just an introduction to healing combat skills.
The old horse's gaze was grumbling.
What does this mean...... In the future, his family can only find Wang Li to open the door?
No, the door must be replaced......
He made up his mind in his heart.
But then he thought about the cost of changing the door, and he immediately twitched in pain...... Wait a minute, anyway, Ah Li will open the door for him.
He walked through the door a little groggy.
But as soon as I stepped in, I was greeted by a large canopy of bubbles.
Wang Li looked at Xiao Ying beside her in surprise, why did she suddenly spit bubbles at the old horse?
But when he turned his head and saw the dirt on the old horse's body quickly crumbling with these bubbles, he instantly understood something.
This is a new skill that Hotaru learned while watching the anime yesterday.,It's called 'Cleaning Bubbles.'"
This 'cleansing bubble' is actually a more precise use of the Spiritual Servant's ability.
Those bubbles that burst are essentially 'clean water', and as the bubbles pop, they can more efficiently break down the dirt that adheres to the target.
For fireflies, the decontamination effect of this trick is better, but it also saves consumption, and it is more convenient to use in some specific scenarios than 'clean water'.
"Hmmm! Well~! ”
Hotaru nodded solemnly, seemingly pleased with the effect.
Speaking of which, it seems that Hotaru's tricks are the first to experiment with the effect on the old horse.
As soon as the old horse's body is clean, it is also a little refreshed.
Then I felt the urge to give up on myself, and went straight to my room, and then collapsed on my soft mattress with a pop.
Wang Li hurriedly suggested: "Teacher, you should take a hot bath at this time!" ”
Lao Ma waved his hand indifferently and said, "Lao Tzu wants to sleep, don't bother me." ”
Wang Li shook his head helplessly, and ignored it.
He believed that this old man could still take care of himself, otherwise how could he have survived until now.
He turned around and went to clean up the shop...... Yesterday the old man spent a day in the store and made a mess of it.
I really don't know how this is done.
However, just as he was cleaning up, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the old horse's room......
