Chapter 57: The Road Back. Elderly Person Living Alone
Gu Ji stepped into Unit 4 of the community.
It’s a sunny day today, but the corridor, which should be warm, is so cold that it makes people shiver.
Please find out the true identity of the ghosts in the Happy Community and send them home.
The task reminder appeared again. Gu Ji felt energetic when he heard the task reminder, and had a sense of security as if his car was fully fueled.
Seeing that she was not afraid but also had a smile on her face, Zhao Xiaona silently walked behind Gu Ji, grabbed Gu Ji's shoulders, and suddenly felt safe.
Although Zhao Xiaona is half a head taller than Gu Ji, it does not prevent her from being timid.
Because the sun was shining, many elderly people who had finished lunch opened the door and prepared to go out to bask in the sun. When they opened the door, they ran into the two of them. When the neighbor grandma saw Gu Ji, she immediately liked him very much.
After the last mission, her stats in all aspects increased. She finally looked less thin, with big eyes, fair skin, and the tip of her nose was red from the wind outside.
She was wearing a simple fleece-lined sweatshirt today. Although she wasn't cold, her grandmother and sister Qingtong wouldn't let her go out without wearing something warmer.
Simple casual pants and a pair of light canvas shoes, with hair tied in a ponytail, is the style that the elderly like most, commonly known as looking refreshing.
"Hey Nana, where did this beautiful girl come from? Is she your relative?"
Zhao Xiaona quickly waved her hands, "No, no, this is the master I found."
How could she have the nerve to ask the Taoist priest to be her relative?
The old man groaned and didn't believe it at all. "What kind of technician? A light bulb repairer? A sewer repairer? You're just lying to me."
"I'm not lying to you. There are often strange noises in our neighborhood late at night. I specially found Master Gu Tian. She's super, super powerful."
Grandma Liu's kind little eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly opened wide. She looked left and right, "You?"
Gu Ji: "Yes, it's mine."
"How old are you?"
"Nineteen years old." Gu Ji explained, "This line of work doesn't depend on age. I heard from Ms. Zhao that the community has asked many experts to look at it, but no one can solve it, right?"
She didn't speak loudly, but her voice was very calm.
Liu Xiaona has lived here for many years. Although these old men and women are not bad people, they are not very careful with their words.
Fearing that Grandma Liu would say something 'outrageous', she mustered up the courage to grab Gu Ji's hand and hurried upstairs, "Grandma Liu, I'll tell you when this is resolved."
Grandma Liu had difficulty walking, and after taking two steps with difficulty, the two men had already run away.
Humph, 'abusing' her as an elderly person.
Hurry down and tell the sisters in the square about this!
…
When we arrived at Zhao Xiaona's house, she found it was in perfect order.
A middle-aged woman was sitting in a wheelchair, cooking with her hands on the stove, looking very strenuous.
Zhao Xiaona rushed over and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you not to bother? Hurry and sit down!"
The woman shook her head and gently gathered her hair. "You said the master is coming to our house today. He's a guest, so we can't just refuse to entertain him."
"I ordered takeout!"
"How can you let your guests eat takeout?"
"I ordered takeout from your favorite private restaurant. It's better than what I cook!" Zhao Xiaona quickly put out the fire on the stove.
The house is not big, but it exudes warmth everywhere.
Mother Zhao was not surprised to see Gu Ji. Zhao Xiaona must have told her about it in advance.
After greeting, Gu Ji sat on the sofa and looked at Mother Zhao's legs. "Auntie, when did your leg get hurt?"
Mother Zhao's eyes dimmed. "Nana's father and I used to run a small business, selling fruit downstairs in the community. We were in a car accident this morning while going to stock up. His father passed away, and this is how my leg is."
Her eyes were red. If she had not been in a hurry to purchase supplies, their family would not be in this situation now, separated by life and death, and her daughter would not be so tired.
Gu Ji said "oh".
Zhao Xiaona, who was standing by, had a face full of hope, but when she saw Gu Ji didn't react, her smile froze.
I thought the master saw that my mother's legs could be cured.
No, no, you can't think like that. The master came here today to solve your own problems. You can't just eat and take things at the same time.
The takeaway arrived soon and the three of them had their meal. Actually, Gu Ji had already eaten at home that morning. The breakfast made by her grandmother was very rich, and she was not hungry, so she just took two bites symbolically.
Sister Wuwang said that once she reached the Styx Realm, she would no longer need to eat. She would only need to absorb Yin Qi and spiritual Qi to convert the energy needed by her body.
What’s more, the food my grandma cooks is the most delicious. She can also make milk tea and many other things. She is really an amazing woman.
Oh, I’ve just been away from home for a while and I already miss my grandma and sister.
After dinner, seeing that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, she took out her cell phone.
Since the last live broadcast, fans have been asking her every day when she will start the second live broadcast.
She asked Zhao Xiaona for her opinion in advance, and Zhao Xiaona would certainly not refuse. As long as she could help her solve this problem, let alone live broadcast, she would have no problem working overtime as the host of the live broadcast room.
But Zhao Xiaona was a little curious: "Master Gu, why is it 1pm? Isn't it usually 12pm?"
"The elderly here all take a nap at 1 p.m., and we'll disturb your rest at 12 p.m."
There are so many ghosts that they have formed a magnetic field in the community. They can only appear during the day when they cannot move freely.
Gu Ji walked to the balcony and pointed to the innermost building in the complex, "Is anyone living in that building?"
Mother Zhao: "Yes, but there are only two or three families, all of whom are elderly people living alone."
"Do they have any common characteristics? Like occupations or something."
Mother Zhao usually has a good relationship with the neighbors in the community. Although she cannot move, she can make some handmade snacks and often shares them with her neighbors. She also has a good understanding of the community.
She thought for a moment and said, "An older sister once told me that the building was allocated by the government for former soldiers to live in. They were all veterans who had defended their country, and people would bring them food and vegetables every day."
Mother Zhao felt a little reluctant when she said this.
Although I can't walk, I am just an ordinary person, my daughter is filial, and my neighbors are nice.
But those heroes who once defended the country can only spend the rest of their lives in a small house.
"They all seemed injured, and we rarely saw them come out. An old man came out once, but his entire body was blown off by a bomb, and his face looked a bit scary. He happened to run into a child who was visiting his grandmother, and the child was frightened and burst into tears. That old man never came out again."
Mother Zhao sighed. If she was treated like this, she would definitely be upset. But she heard that the old man had donated all his savings two years ago, and now he is too old and confused to recognize people.
"No wonder." Gu Ji murmured.
The merits of that house were almost overflowing, and it was shining with golden light, almost blinding her eyes!
