Chapter 60 Above the Stars (Please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket)
After leaving the Dark Moon Chamber of Commerce, Lu Yu took the little hamster directly to the largest supermarket nearby.
"Human supermarkets, are they so beautiful?"
The little hamster widened his eyes, his ears stood up due to excitement, his mouth opened wide, and he looked around curiously like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
When he was hungry before, he could only go to a small convenience store to steal some snacks. Every time he ran away with his tail between his legs, fearing that he would be caught and beaten to death or eaten, and he had no time to observe his surroundings.
This was the first time he walked into such a huge and luxurious supermarket openly. The dazzling array of goods placed on the tall shelves made him stunned for a moment.
After Lu Yu talked to the cashier, he brought a one-time QR code pass card and stuck it on Shushu, who was still in a daze. He flicked Shushu's forehead with his finger, causing Shushu to cover his head subconsciously. Before Shushu
had time to get angry, Lu Yu handed over a basket for children and said with a smile:
"Go in, choose whatever you like, don't be polite to me!"
"Really... can you really choose whatever you like?"
Although it was agreed long ago, Shushu still couldn't believe it when it came to implementation.
"Of course!"
After getting a positive answer, Shushu dragged the huge basket forward a little bit. When passing by two spirit dogs that detect spiritual life, his hair subconsciously tightened and his heart began to beat faster.
The two scent dogs took a lazy glance, and when they saw the pass sticker on Shushu, they retracted their gaze and did not stop him. At
this moment, Shushu suddenly felt like a part of human civilization. He could live in the sun and be respected.
However, just after taking a step, a red light suddenly swept over him, causing his body to stiffen. Some bad memories flooded his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to escape into the shadows. But when he turned around, he saw Lu Yu smiling and nodding at him.
"We can't let perverted cultivators look down on us!"
His gaze gave Shushu courage, and he held his head high. After the machine scanned the pass card, there was a "beep" and the red light faded away.
"Humph, this red-eyed iron monster, that's all!"
Shushu breathed a sigh of relief, then smoothly entered the snack area and began to wander around and pick out the things he liked.
Lu Yu thought it would take a long time to choose, but five minutes later, Shushu came back with a basket of ten bags of tomato-flavored potato chips and a dozen caramel puddings.
Lu Yu thought that Shushu didn't understand the prices of these things, and reminded him, "You can choose more. It's only a few dozen dollars here. The budget I gave you is 20,000."
"Hmph, you say, but if you choose too much, you won't be able to finish it. If it expires, it will be a waste of food!" Shushu turned his head away and said angrily, "And you perverted cultivator, do you look down on me? This time I can exchange snacks, next time I can do better and exchange for more snacks!"
Although the little hamster tried his best to conceal his emotions, Lu Yu still saw the hope and desire in its eyes, just like an abandoned kitten that would win the love of its owner by being cautious and well-behaved.
Lu Yu was silent, and suddenly a picture of a little hamster alone in a dangerous abandoned city area inhabited by countless monsters appeared in his mind. He was in danger of
his own death, shivering in the countless nights, and in the soul-sucking magic cloud that cut the soul, because he was afraid of being discovered, even if he was in so much pain that he rolled over, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, not daring to make a sound.
Even if the soul can be repaired afterwards, the process is painful and long.
And having wisdom and thinking, but aggravating this pain.
Because he has experienced the beauty of human civilization, he will be more lonely in contrast, and will deliberately imitate the living environment of humans and steal human food... In addition to filling his stomach, these processes are more just to make himself feel more present.
However, it has never given up and has been trying hard to find the meaning of its existence!
All the ferocity was just to cover up the inner fragility.
And Lu Yu
was the first person who told Shu Shu that he needed it.
It let it see the dawn of hope!
Even if it might be a trap, even if it was just used as a tool, after thinking about it, it resolutely stepped into it.
After Lu Yu fulfilled his promise, it did not go on a shopping spree, but chose the part it needed.
Because it felt that it was only worth this!
It was not to look down on oneself, but to be content after the trust was not betrayed.
Lu Yu suddenly thought that in his previous life, and even most people, weren’t they Shu Shu in life?
I have read many books, walked many roads, and learned to think. However, after being hit, I will be confused and at a loss. I don’t know what role the knowledge I once had will play in my future. Will I always be unsuccessful, unknown, or even have nothing in the future? I may die in obscurity, or live inexplicably, but these...
are not important!
We are just dust in the universe and water drops in the long river of time. We should boldly do what we want to do and understand what kind of person we want to be. The wealth, fame, and the eyes of others in the process are all vain. Life should not be a blank sheet of paper, a sloppy paper covered with wine, sex, wealth, fame, and fortune.
If your heart is like the morning sun, you will see the morning glow. If you
miss the afterglow of the sunset, there will still be a sky full of stars.
Such a hamster should not be despised and laughed at!
Lu Yu put away his smile, squatted down, touched its head, and praised earnestly: "Yes, hamster is the best!"
"Hehe, you have good taste," the little hamster was very happy after being praised, and the corners of his mouth rose subconsciously, but he quickly pretended to be calm and said:
"These are nothing, think about when I used to run rampant in convenience stores..."
Lu Yu put it on his shoulder, and while queuing to check out, he listened quietly to it talking about its past glorious experiences. He did not say a word, just acting as a quiet listener.
I heard Shushu say that after three days of wandering, he was almost starving to death, but he picked up half a bag of discarded tomato-flavored potato chips and was very happy after eating it.
It was a delicacy that was countless times more delicious than hamster food.
I heard it say why it bought caramel pudding. It was last month, on its first birthday, when it didn’t find potato chips in the convenience store it often went to, but found pudding. As a result, because the pudding was too heavy, the clerk almost caught it and hit it with a broomstick. It almost lost its life, but in the end, it escaped with its unskilled shadow ability.
But on that birthday, the sweet pudding made Shushu very happy, and it liked the taste very much.
Speaking of birthdays, the little hamster thought of his mother, lowered his head, and his bright eyes dimmed a little.
It’s not because he missed her too much, but because...
he forgot!
Forgot what his mother looked like...
Before he became a supernatural being, his brain capacity was only enough to hold what happened in half a year.
When he was one month old, he was bought home by a little human girl, and they lived together ever since. He watched anime and TV with her, and learned a lot of knowledge about the human world. That was also the happiest time for him.
In the end, because she got tired of playing with him and didn't want to raise a hamster anymore, on the day he was about to be thrown away, he secretly opened the cage, ran into the sewer, stole the blood of his family, and became a supernatural being. Up to now, he has been wandering for three months.
It didn't hate the little girl, but it felt a little regretful. It had fantasized many nights that mother should have a very warm embrace...
Thinking of this, the little hamster looked at Lu Yu who was paying the bill, and wanted to hear his opinion, comfort or praise, but Lu Yu said nothing and ignored it until they walked out of the supermarket.
"Heartless human!"
The little hamster was very unhappy without getting a response, and felt that the perverted cultivator didn't respect him at all. He angrily hid in his pocket, curled up into a ball and didn't want to say anything.
Unless the perverted cultivator bought it three more bags of potato chips... no, two bags of potato chips will do, and praised it five times, it would forgive him!
"Did I say something wrong..."
After waiting for a long time, Shushu still didn't wait for Lu Yu to find him. He tossed and turned, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if it was because he was too noisy that made the perverted cultivator dislike him.
He felt a little regretful, regretting why he liked to talk nonsense so much. He
longed for love, but he was extremely sensitive and inferior. Perhaps all his courage had been used on the road to finding him.
Click!
Just as Shushu was daydreaming, the familiar sound of an electric door rang. He thought he had arrived at the perverted cultivator's house, so he stuck his head out to let Lu Yu down the stairs, but what he saw was a familiar scene.
"This is... a convenience store I often come to. What are they doing? Are they fed up with my bragging and are going to hand me over to them?" Before
Shushu could react, I saw Lu Yu walk up to the cashier, tap his head and said,
"I'm sorry, my Shushu stole a lot of things when he ran away before. I'm sorry to trouble you. May I know how much was lost? I'm willing to pay you ten times the amount."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shushu, who was about to run away, was stunned. He looked up and looked at Lu Yu's profile. His dark eyes were suddenly filled with indescribable emotions.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I've only been working for a few days, so I
don't know exactly. Let me call the store manager, please come over here..." The cashier was a young girl, and her face instantly turned red when she saw Lu Yu's charismatic appearance. She was also a little flustered for a moment, not knowing what was going on, and stuttered to find the store manager. After
the store manager learned what happened and that it was the little mouse that had been stealing snacks, she was a little surprised, but she didn't act aggressively. She said that she couldn't remember how much money it was, and that paying three hundred would be enough as a token of her appreciation.
Lu Yu nodded, left three thousand, and then went to every convenience store that Mouse had been to, paying a total of more than five thousand yuan.
Although the total value of all the things added up might only be a few hundred, he felt it was very meaningful.
After everything was done, it was already half past eight. Lu Yu was walking on the path home with a bag of snacks.
During the whole process, Shushu said nothing, just staring at his profile in a daze, as if he wanted to remember him forever.
He would tolerate him, treat him as a family member, apologize for his mistakes, and lead him out of the darkness of the past...
I don't know when it started, but Lu Yu's figure gradually overlapped with the warm embrace imagined in his mind.
It seems that his waiting has really paid off!
Lu Yu touched Shushu's head, and everything was self-evident.
"Wuwuwu, you perverted cultivator, who asked you to do this? What a waste of money, later... Shushu will return it to you later..."
Shushu shrank back into his pocket, his body twitching. Although he tried his best to hide his tears with pride, he could still feel his attachment.
Lu Yu smiled, and the last barrier between him and Shushu was gone.
However, they did not notice that a figure stood on the white tower, quietly staring at him, or rather, staring at everything in the city, lonely and quiet, out of tune with everything around him, as if he did not belong to this era.
After comforting the little hamster, Lu Yu said to the little spider in his pocket who was eating dream fragments to replenish his energy:
"You've worked hard!"
Although a pound of spider silk is not hard to break, it is not easy.
"Hello!"
The little spider shook his head seriously, indicating that it was not hard at all. The corners of his mouth raised, and a smile appeared on his delicate face, like a hundred flowers blooming, touching the heart.
In his eyes, it is a very happy thing to be able to make money to support the family and help the owner reduce stress. In
his empty treasure chest, there is also a second hamster doll made of spider silk.
A family should be together forever!
At this moment, the dim light of the street lamp blurred the vision, and the gentle evening breeze with a hint of coolness caressed the cheeks, bringing a hint of tranquility and tenderness.
Lu Yu looked up at the starry sky, stretched out his hand and clenched it, as if he had grasped something, and said seriously:
"In the future, we will feel the evening breeze every day and go to see the scenery above the stars together. No one is allowed to fall behind along the way!"
"Hah!"
('')*
The little spider raised his hand, it will work hard!
The silhouette mouse came back to its senses and said proudly:
"Squeak!"
Don't underestimate the mouse, it's you who have to work hard!
A simple promise contains beautiful expectations.
Lu Yu is very happy, he has one more family member, more excitement, and... one more responsibility!
Next, it is time to make the secret food for skills...
