Chapter 219: Scene 6 (Inverted V) Oh, yes, the salvation master, I am...
"Hehe, we can't waste it. These are the best tomatoes grown in Old Sun's vegetable garden..." The old woman held a kitchen knife in her hand, cutting tomato slices one by one, humming a song in a very romantic way.
"It's been a while, and the food isn't even ready yet, yet you call us in." The girl sighed and leaned helplessly on a chair beside the dining table, looking at the light bulb on the ceiling, which swayed and flickered as the old woman cut the vegetables.
"Daughter, have some candy." The woman's voice came first, and then a fluorescent yellow candy was handed to the girl.
The girl took a bite, and the sour taste of the lemon instantly swept through her mouth: "So sour!"
"Little girl, uh, what's your mother's name? How should I call her?" The old woman turned around and looked at the girl, scratching her face with her clean hands embarrassedly. "I want to have that candy, too."
"Her last name is also He," the girl replied.
"Her last name is also He??!"
"Why? What's there to be surprised about? My last name is He too."
"No, no, then she, then she, will she really think I'm her mother? I don't want to be her mother!"
The girl rolled her eyes: "No one asked you to be her mother!"
"Mom, here's some candy."
“…”
“…”
"Uh, haha, don't you want to eat that candy? Eat it, eat it..." The girl covered her mouth, holding back her laughter, and looked at the old woman with a sullen face who raised the kitchen knife in her hand, trying to intimidate the woman who peeled off the candy wrapper and handed the candy to her mouth.
The old woman then glared at the girl and said, "I told you not to talk too much!"
"puff……"
"Um, thank you. It tastes pretty good... my baked sweet milk, why is this sugar so sour!!!"
"Haha ...!"
"Are you laughing at me?!" The old woman's face was wrinkled with sourness, but after glancing at the expectant expression of the woman beside her, she didn't spit it out. She turned around and looked at the girl angrily, "Really? Why didn't you tell me about this candy... Why did you just watch me walk into the abyss?!"
"Hahahahahaha, I thought you just liked to eat sour things like this, Grandma. When we went to work in Grandma Sun's vegetable garden, didn't you always take a bag of lemons with you when we left?" The girl blinked innocently.
"Ha! Okay, just wait for me. When I finish cutting the last tomato, I'll do it to you—"
“You can’t hit people!!”
"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"
"Hey, hey, Xiao He, I don't hit anyone. I'm kind and gentle, and I never hit anyone!" The old woman wiped her hands on her apron, smiled awkwardly, and walked around the defensive woman to the passenger plane at the door. "Wait a minute, I have a call."
"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling--"
"Hey, hello, who is this?"
"Mother." The girl waved to the woman who was still standing by the chopping board.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then walked over to the girl and said, "Daughter, what's wrong?"
"You'd better not call her mom anymore."
"……oh."
"Also, didn't you take your medicine last night?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
The girl sat on the chair with her arms folded across her chest. The woman didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either. The two of them just remained in a stalemate.
Frankly speaking, girls don't understand what women are like outside the family.
But there seemed to be something wrong with her brain, probably because of the medicine the man fed her.
In this world, she and her grandmother could barely make ends meet. If her mother were to be added to the mix...
"What?! You want an answer now?! Can't you wait for us to think about it??!"
"No, you invited me. And who am I, Lao He? Can you just invite me to perform for the kids?! Then you have to give me..."
"Impossible! How can that be possible? Not only are you using my part-time work time, but you're not even paying me. Am I a fool to promise you that?!"
"...Hey, hurry up! Have you thought it through? If you keep arguing, my job will be ruined!"
"Um……"
"My dear little ancestor, I beg you. This person is also my old classmate. It's not a good idea for me to keep arguing with her. She is the one in charge after all. I still have to please her."
Looking at the old woman's pitiful eyes, which almost made her cry, He Yuezhe coughed lightly twice before finally saying, "Then agree to it."
"Hey, He Fangying, what are you mumbling about there? Don't think I can't hear you. You must be teasing me with your precious granddaughter again!"
A female voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice was clear and angry, but she spoke a little slowly.
"No!" The old woman got He Yuezhe's permission and continued to chat with the female voice on the other end of the phone with a smile, "I was just talking to myself, reviewing the heroic deeds of our old Jiang!"
"My heroic deeds?"
"Yeah, think about how our Jiang went deep into the Tiger Cave alone, lying in ambush for years, and then assassinated someone. Wow, that was all over the news back then. They said our Jiang the Heroine had saved countless orphans with a strong will, returned lost property, and never let anyone get away with anything..."
"Lao He! What kind of nonsense are you talking about!"
"Hahahaha, ouch, ouch," the old woman said, her face wrinkled with laughter. "It was just a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue!"
"Okay, I'm done talking to you. I need to take the kids to school. Since you agreed, just wait for me to send a car to pick you up."
"Okay! Lao Jiang, I love you!"
"Get out! This is so disgusting!"
“Beep—beep—beep—”
"Well, that's great!" The old woman put the phone back. "I thought you wouldn't let me agree."
"Why?" He Yuezhe sat on the windowsill puzzled.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting the simple gauze curtains and blocking He Yuezhe's view.
And in the pure white vision, an old hand grabbed the curtain and pulled it open, and the colorful world appeared in He Yuezhe's eyes again.
"You," the old woman said, "don't you know the plot line?"
“…” He Yuezhe’s eyes widened slightly.
"No, no, I said something wrong, please forget it." The old woman seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly covered her mouth.
"You mean, the plot line?"
"No! No, I didn't say anything!"
“…”
“…”
"Plot line", the worst result that He Yuezhe guessed finally came true.
"You, are also a salvation master?" She asked this question almost trembling all over.
"...Oh, yes, a master of salvation. I am a master of salvation!" The old woman's eyes sparkled. "So, you are also a master of salvation! I was saying, someone like you can obviously be a master of salvation!"
Is your own grandmother in this world a salvation master?
No, no, maybe there's someone else inside her. Yes, that's definitely the case...
But, they were so similar, from their personalities to their daily habits, He Yuezhe could not imagine how she could not be his grandmother.
“…”
"Although I don't know why there can be two salvation masters in one world, but since we are in a cooperative relationship now, why don't we..." The old woman jumped onto the windowsill nimbly and sat next to He Yuezhe.
“I don’t have a system.”
"What...? Ah, there's no system. No wonder you seem to know nothing... Oh, that's normal. Some salvation masters just don't have..."
"I killed it."
"No, killed it?!" The old woman was surprised and said, "Then, that kind of thing can also be killed?! I didn't expect you to be so powerful..."
"Even if it dies, I can only stay here and can't leave." He Yuezhe held his chin in his hand. "What's so great about it?"
Will you be scared by me?
"What do you mean by 'what's so great about them?' If you've dealt with them before, you'll know they can't do anything. They can only chat with us and provide some information about the world at most. These kinds of things are the hardest to catch!"
The old woman stretched out her hand, laughed, and touched He Yuezhe's head.
"Child, you're probably younger than me, so I'll call you that for now," the old woman said. "Child, if I remember correctly, that thing would require digging out your heart and brain to remove, right? You're quite impressive to be able to do that!"
"Besides, it's hard for most people to imagine what would happen to them if they killed their own system, right? You dared to do it, and you dared to bear the consequences. That's even more amazing!"
Yes, you are my grandma, how could you be scared by such a small thing?
He Yuezhe laughed grimly: "Idiot, there's no need to dig into your heart and brain, just..."
You only know how to praise me, saying that our little treasure is amazing, amazing no matter what, and the most amazing in the world.
"What do you need?"
"Buzz—"
"Let's go."
Outside the house, on a road that had been forcibly created, a car made of various scraps was parked there neatly, its headlights flashing constantly, and an old woman wearing sunglasses stuck her head out.
He Yuezhe jumped off the windowsill and got into the car familiarly.
"Hey, hey, you haven't finished talking yet!" The old woman hurried out, but was stunned the moment she saw the car. "Oh my God, Lao, Lao Jiang, your car is so luxurious... No, weren't you going to send the child? Why did you send him to me?"
"Grandma, what's going on outside..." The car hummed loudly, and the girl and the woman came out.
"Oh, Xiaobao, this is your Grandma Jiang's car," the old woman said. "She invited me to come over and perform for the kids! Perfect, could you please help me get out those old things I've hidden away?"
"I know." The girl turned around helplessly and went back to the house.
He Fangying leaned against the car, chatting with her dear Lao Jiang.
After a while, the girl came out with a big box of things.
"Then let's go!!"
"Bang! Jingle! Bang! Jingle!"
"Oh my goodness, Lao Jiang, you haven't changed your car at all, and you're still as talkative as ever."
He Fangying and Lao Jiang sat in the front row, the girl and the woman sat in the back, and He Yuezhe was forcefully stuffed into the pocket on the door by He Fangying, as if in revenge for not finishing her words.
The car started moving, making a buzzing sound, and several people were thrown to the ground, with even parts falling off.
"If you don't want to sit, get out of here." Lao Jiang said with a chuckle.
"Grandma, you can exercise properly."
"Hey, don't be so stingy! I'll sit, I'll sit. My favorite place to sit is Lao Jiang's little car!" The old woman sat crookedly. "Also, Xiaobao, your grandma has exercised enough. Now, what I need is rest, to rest!"
"snort."
"oh."
"Speaking of which, Lao Jiang, how's that little girl who fell at your door a while ago? Is she feeling better now?"
"You said she's better now, but she's a little quiet."
"It's easy to be quiet. Just watch and see how I, Old He, can win the hearts of all the children with just one performance, hahahaha!"
"boast."
"Grandma, I heard that blowing on a cow's nose will make it longer, which is perfect for hanging clothes on."
“Xiaobao!!!”
Oh, judging by the time, the child they were talking about was probably Xiaoshu.
He Yue twisted and turned in the pocket, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth...
No, what's so hot?
He Yuezhe opened his eyes.
“…”
“…”
"Who are you?" He Yuezhe looked at the furry and crying Walnut beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
