Chapter 316: Key NPCs
Repeating trajectories, repeating behaviors, repeating conversations.
With 12 midnight as the dividing line, memory exists for only one day, and at dawn it enters a new cycle.
Everyone in the entire steel mill was trapped in an infinite loop on September 5th.
"it......" Lin Xiaobei subconsciously scratched his head, "The braincase is so itchy, it seems to be about to grow a brain......"
Sun Tiantian quickly swept over the adjacent table, "They also have long-sleeved T-shirts in their overalls, which should be dressed in September and autumn." ”
"So what do we do now...... You can't just pick up the steel in front of so many people and run. "Zhang Xiaojuan's CPU almost burned dry.
Once the outsiders who break into the infinite cycle of the steel plant break into the cycle and disrupt the balance in this space, they will inevitably be attacked by the entire steel plant.
The water balloon in Xiao Yu's palm is ready to go, "According to my experience of watching movies for so many years, there must be a special NPC that is the key key to this kind of cycle, as long as you find the key NPC, the cycle can be lifted." ”
"But there are hundreds of people in the entire steel plant, where do we find NPCs?" Han Rui silently moved a stool close to Lu Sheng.
You can't kill them all, can you?
While several people were discussing in a low voice how to find the key NPC, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"How do you eat today?" The kind canteen aunt wiped her hands with her apron and walked to Lu Sheng and the others with a smile.
Everyone present suddenly had alarm bells in their hearts.
Aunt Canteen's lines are different from yesterday!
Xu Yi tilted his head slightly, and his eyes behind the lenses flashed with a flash, "Today's braised pork is a little saltier than yesterday." ”
Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, silently waiting for the cafeteria aunt's answer.
Xu Yi's words are a test to see if the cafeteria aunt is also trapped in the cycle on September 5th!
"Oh, I put an extra handful of salt when my hands are shaking when I cook today, you eat more and press it." The cafeteria aunt patted her forehead in annoyance, and her calloused right hand was kindly placed on Zhang Xiaojuan's shoulder, "If you are thirsty, there is a water dispenser over there, you can get some water yourself." ”
Unlock new lines!
Everyone looked up at their sides in unison.
Under the faint yellowing light of the cafeteria, a middle-aged woman with a kind smile was looking at them gently.
She wore a gray long-sleeved dress that had been washed to the white curls, her hair was meticulously coiled behind her head, and her facial features could be seen to be about forty years old, but her hands were full of wrinkles and calluses from years of labor.
The apron on the body is very clean, and the whole person looks simple and neat.
Such a person who exudes a gentle aura all over his body turned out to be the key NPC in the steel factory to unlock the cycle, which is particularly weird and infiltrating.
Zhang Xiaojuan held her aunt's hand on her shoulder, and her whole body was tense and didn't dare to move.
"Auntie, your hand is broken." Lu Sheng took out a band-aid from his pocket, took the right hand of the cafeteria aunt, and glanced at the badge on her chest again.
Logistics staff - Zhang Meihui.
The hands are warm, and Zhang Meihui is a living person.
Zhang Meihui glanced down and suddenly smiled, "It's okay to be a little bit, I don't work so delicately every day." Thank you, little girl. ”
After speaking, she rubbed Lu Sheng's smooth and delicate face with the back of her hand with pity, "You are about the same age as my Xiaohong, and you are really good-looking." ”
It seems that people who become mothers have one thing in common, they will love the love of the house and Wu when they meet children who are about the same age as their own children.
Lu Sheng's mind chuckled.
Before she could speak, Xu Yi got up and blocked between Zhang Meihui and Lu Sheng.
Because of Xu Yi, Zhang Meihui's hand could only be retracted.
"What about your daughter? I guess it's working, too. Xu Yi's voice is very magnetic, inexplicably reassuring.
At the mention of her daughter, Zhang Meihui sighed, and subconsciously wiped her apron twice with her two hands, "If only she could come out to work like you." ”
"Hasn't she graduated yet?" Han Rui asked curiously.
Zhang Xiaojuan took advantage of the moment when Zhang Meihui's hand was taken away, and immediately got up and slipped aside.
She ...... Hey......" Zhang Meihui's gentle face suddenly showed a look of bitterness, "She has bad legs and feet, her school and work are affected, and she hasn't been out much for ten years." ”
As soon as her words fell, the surrounding environment suddenly fluctuated.
The employees of the steel factory, who were still talking and laughing with their mobile phones just now, suddenly fell silent, like a movie that had been pressed the pause button.
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, Zhang Meihui is the key NPC that affects the entire steel plant!
When talking about her daughter who suffers from a leg disease, Zhang Meihui's mood fluctuated, and the cycle of the entire steel plant was affected to a certain extent!
But soon, Zhang Meihui's expression returned to a smiling appearance, "I'm telling you what you're doing, they're all children." Eat well, and if you don't have enough, call me. ”
Lu Sheng kicked Zhang Xiaojuan's foot under the table.
"Auntie, don't go!" Zhang Xiaojuan immediately understood, got up and stopped Zhang Meihui, "Auntie, I left home at the age of 12 to work, and I haven't been home all these years. Thank you for making braised pork that made me feel at home, and seeing you is like seeing my mother. ”
"Why don't we talk about five cents again, I want to hear it, I love to hear it."
Everyone: "......"
Sometimes you have to be thick-skinned.
When Zhang Meihui heard this, the corners of her mouth rose to reveal a loving smile, "You are all similar to my children." ”
"Auntie, what's wrong with Xiaohong's leg? Now that medicine is so advanced, why didn't you take it to the big city? Zhang Xiaojuan struck while the iron was hot, waiting for an opportunity to open Zhang Meihui's inner world.
mentioned her daughter, Zhang Meihui completely opened the conversation.
It seems that no one has told her all year round, treating Zhang Xiaojuan and Lu Sheng and others as tree holes, "She always played with some bad children when she was a teenager, and I was quick-tempered when I was young." ”
"Once I locked her in her room and locked the door, she jumped out of the window on impulse and broke both legs."
As Zhang Meihui recalled the past, the atmosphere in the entire canteen instantly dropped to freezing point.
The temperature in the air seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees, and except for Lu Sheng and Xu Yi, the rest of the people subconsciously wrapped their coats tightly.
"She has been blaming me for this all these years and refuses to talk to me." Zhang Meihui's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she raised her hand to wipe her tears twice.
"I haven't been home much in the past ten years, and I've been working here, so I thought that if I saved enough money, I could take Xiaohong to the big hospital in the imperial capital for surgery to cure her leg."
"I inquired before, the operation requires more than 100,000 yuan, and the postoperative rehabilitation also requires money, at least 200,000 yuan to prepare."
"I don't have much education in the countryside, so I can only cook and clean."
"But now it's almost over, the factory has been in a recession some time ago and has not paid wages, and when this month will make up for 8 months' wages, I will be able to save enough money."
