Chapter 226 Scene 13 (Inverted V) Her nickname, I gave her...
"I, no, I'm really sorry. Did I do something inappropriate again? Did I hurt you?"
"No, no, of course not." The girl had already hidden her hand behind her back. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said to the woman with a sad face.
"I'm sorry, I, I forgot to take my medicine again. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I, I..." The woman looked extremely exhausted. She knelt on the ground dejectedly, covering her face with trembling hands, sobbing and saying "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Mother, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." The girl hugged the woman and gently stroked her dry hair and her back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"...Okay, hurry up. This mountain is different from the city. It's very cold at night. Wear a coat and don't catch a cold. We've been busy all day. I'll go make some noodles to fill our stomachs. You, take your time, come out and have something to eat too."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Well, thank you, grandma."
"Hey, we're all family, what's there to thank me for?" He Fangying scratched her hair and walked towards the kitchen.
Pulling aside the plastic curtain that separated the bed from other objects, He Fangying saw in the slightly dirty mirror that her hair was messy and the skin on her face was loose.
"Oh..." He Fangying sighed.
Time is really an old pig, always pushing at her knife, making it rusty and yellow, and becoming dull and useless.
"Don't look in the mirror." He Yuezhe jumped off the windowsill, pulled up He Fangying's pants and dragged her to the kitchen.
"Hey, hey!" He Fangying staggered as she pulled her, "Why are you pulling my pants?!"
"...I'm sorry, I forgot your pants are too loose." He Yuezhe was silent for a moment, turned his head away awkwardly, and no longer looked at He Fangying who was holding up the pants that had fallen onto her shoes.
"Hmph!" He Fangying pulled up her pants, glared at He Yuezhe, angrily pushed aside another layer of plastic curtain, and walked into the kitchen, "There's no food for you!"
"Idiot, I'm a puppet and I don't need to eat." The plastic curtain was too slippery, so He Yuezhe had to climb onto the windowsill from the potted plant next to him.
"Is this true?" He Fangying took three eggs from the refrigerator, cracked them into an iron bowl, and stirred them with chopsticks. "But aren't you a master of salvation? Can you get used to not eating?"
"...Yeah, it's OK." He Yuezhe sat on the windowsill and pushed the window open with great effort. The cool night breeze blew and almost made her fall out. "Your refrigerator looks good..."
"This refrigerator was decorated by our little treasure. If you dare to say anything bad about her, I'll never let you go!"
"oh."
“…”
“…”
Heat the oil and put it in the pan. The eggs will be fried evenly, with golden yellow and milky white as the border. The egg liquid will boil. Sprinkle a handful of salt and the aroma will immediately fill your nose.
"You really don't want to eat it?" He Fangying poured the hot fried eggs into a small iron basin and turned to look at He Yuezhe, "These eggs are so delicious that even if someone died next to them, you wouldn't even know it!"
"...I really don't want to eat it, but where did you learn this?" He Yuezhe laughed at her words.
"Oh, this brings me back to my previous world. It was incredibly advanced there, with electronic devices everywhere. And those devices were all artificial intelligence, incredibly powerful, capable of everything."
"In that place, the cars weren't even on the ground. They were in the sky. Can you imagine a car driving on a track in the sky with those really, really cool lights? I was so dizzy that I fainted the moment I got there and was sent to the hospital."
"But speaking of the hospital there, it's very advanced. They don't need doctors or nurses, just artificial intelligence to diagnose and treat illnesses. Even surgery is done with it. I went to take a look, and they performed the surgery in just a few seconds. They're truly miracle doctors!"
"That world is truly the cleanest, tidiest, and most well-planned one I've ever seen. If I could rank the worlds I've visited, that world would definitely be number one!"
He Fangying raised a finger in front of He Yuezhe and poked her forehead.
"But I still prefer my original world." He Fangying started to cook noodles. "Originally, the system asked me if I wanted to stay in that world, but then I thought about it and realized that my family and friends were all waiting for me to return to my original world. I didn't hesitate and left immediately."
“…”
"Although I know this is a bit over the line, I still want to remind you," He Fangying looked at He Yuezhe worriedly, "Child, although we are salvation masters and can travel between these different worlds, our families and friends are still waiting for us to return to our original world. You..."
“…”
"I, I know, returning to our original world is unrealistic, but we've already traveled through so many worlds, witnessed so many adventures, and saved so many lives. We're already so powerful, so why can't we just, just for a moment, hope to return to our original world...?!"
“…”
You clearly know that this is a road of no return, you clearly know that you are losing yourself little by little and moving towards death, you clearly know that it is a luxury, it is just a "luxury", but you still force yourself to come to this moment just for that little bit of pitiful hope, for the sake of seeing your family and friends again?
“…” He Yuezhe didn’t know how to comfort her.
Perhaps her past plans never included these spiritual masters who were also trapped on the platform, so even though she now knew there might be a way to return to her original world, she could only remain silent and unable to speak.
Rather than giving her hope and then having it dashed, it is better not to give her hope in the first place.
As a fellow soul-savior, He Yuezhe could personally understand her collapse and helplessness at that moment. When she saw her peers, she also had a moment when she wanted to confide her own pain and sorrow.
But she couldn't do that. She was carrying the lives of her friends on her shoulders. She couldn't retreat or be timid. She had to move forward.
“…”
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." He Fangying said with a wry smile, "Child, we've known each other for several days, almost a week, right? What's your name? Can you tell me?"
"My name is..."
"My name is Pomegranate."
"Pomegranate, it's a good name. We all get together and work hard to make our lives fulfilling. Yeah, it's a good name." He Fangying said as she scooped out the noodles and put the egg on top.
The stars and the moon twinkled in the sky behind them, and before them stood a woman who shone brighter than the stars, the moon, and the sun. He Yuezhe softly agreed, "...Yes, it's a good name."
"Speaking of which, we are quite destined to meet. As for me, there is no one else in my family except a granddaughter. I gave her a nickname, which is also called Pomegranate." He Fangying scratched her head and laughed.
“…”
"Hey, hey!" She turned and called towards the bed, "Xiaobao!"
"Hey, grandma! Is the noodles cooked?" The girl came over.
"Yes, yes, smell it, wow, isn't it fragrant? Go call your mother."
"It smells so good—Okay, I got it. I'll go right away."
The three of them sat at the table. Since there were only two people in the family all year round, there were only two benches for the sake of economy.
The girl sat on an upside-down bucket, holding chopsticks in her hand, eating the delicious noodles with relish.
"Grandma, the egg noodles you cooked are so delicious." The girl closed her eyes happily while eating.
"Hehe," He Fangying's nose was almost turned upside down by the praise, "Of course, you didn't even look at who cooked it."
"Mom, how is it? Is it delicious?" The girl gave He Fangying a thumbs up, then turned to look at the woman.
The woman ate the noodles and nodded, her eyes shining: "It's delicious."
"Hey, it seems like my skills are good enough for me to be a chef?"
"grandmother."
He Fangying covered her mouth: "Oh, oh, ouch, look at my brain, I forgot."
“…”
“…”
Three cold eggs hugged each other, two fragrant scrambled eggs were swallowed into the stomach, a crescent moon set, and a round sun rose.
A tattered quilt covers the world, two pieces of soft bread hold sweetness, three shivering eggs warm up, and three sad little people laugh happily.
There was a doll and a woman in He Fangying and the girl's ordinary life, but there was no significant change.
Just a little happier, well, a little happier.
There are people to chat with at work, and when I get home, the house is tidy and there are delicious meals to eat.
"Hey," He Fangying wiped the mud off her hands and poked the doll basking in the sun on the stone. "Pomegranate, what do you think she'll make for us today? Will it be the same roasted eggplant from yesterday? Oh, that roasted eggplant was really delicious!"
"Grandma, mother said she will stir-fry eggplant today." The girl turned her head and said while hoeing the ground.
"Really?! That's great! I'm falling in love with your mom!" He Fangying clenched her fists and waved them at the air. "Xiaobao, and Shiliu, just wait. Once we get our tokens back, I'll buy you some cloth to make new clothes!"
“Thank you, grandma!”
"Actually, I can not..." He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes and looked at her, saying lightly.
"That won't do!"
"...I don't want to change into new clothes. My clothes won't get dirty, so why can't I just wear this one?"
“…”
“…”
"Oh, oh, I see. I thought you were going to say you could take off your clothes."
He Yuezhe: ...?
"Old He!"
"Why!"
"Our manager has a meeting today, so you guys should leave first! Your wages will still be paid tomorrow!"
"good!"
Grandma Sun is the manager of many work places. She specially left this vegetable garden for He Fangying, so there is usually no one else here except them.
After receiving the message from Lao Sun, when He Fangying and the girl packed up and walked out of the vegetable garden, she had disappeared.
"Oh, it's good to get off work early. It would be great if I could get off work early every day." He Fangying sighed.
"Master's grandmother, the manager of this workplace is your good friend. You can leave work early. I have already asked her." said the puppet next to He Yuezhe.
"Hey! That person gets lazy when he stops, but we can't be lazy, do you understand?—"
"Ouch!"
"Why!"
“…”
“…”
After a dizzy spell, He Yuezhe crawled out of He Fangying's pocket and saw, saw...
Ban Wei Le?
