Chapter 1209, Getting a person with a white head

Ren Xiaosu felt a little strange, after Yang Xiaoguan came to Barrier 88, he didn’t even do much to revisit Yang’s Manor properly, instead, he kept bringing him to small stores like the Peaceful Tailor Shop to meet some of his former acquaintances.

“Xiao Geun, wait a moment,” the middle-aged woman in the tailor store wiped her hands, took off the cuffs on her arms, and then walked to the door to turn the small wooden sign hanging outside “open for business” upside down, replacing it with “closed! “.

It was only 9:00 a.m. when the shop closed, and it looked like the other party didn’t want anyone to disturb her and Yang Xiaoguan to catch up.

The tailor’s store was small, with all kinds of cloths hanging on the walls, and a nice leathery smell emanating from the room, not pungent at all.

The windows were wiped clean, and the floor was also clean, Ren Xiaosu could tell that the other party lived her life carefully and delicately.

The middle-aged woman looked at Ren Xiaosu with a smile, ”Introduce yourself, I’m the tailor who has been measuring clothes for Xiaoguan since she was a child, my name is Lan Jingchu, how about you call me Auntie Lan? The Major of the Northwest is really different, just like the legend, full of essence and a natural clothes rack.”

Ren Xiaosu was a little embarrassed by what was said, when others complimented him behind his back for his greatness and combat prowess, he was able to listen to it and even participate in the discussion as if nothing had happened.

But once he was praised in person, he would instead show a rare kind of coyness.

There weren’t many people who could see this shy side of Ren Xiaosu.

However, what Ren Xiaosu was most worried about at this time was that he was afraid that Yang Xiaoguan would suddenly say from the side that she wouldn’t allow him to call him Auntie Lan, because this Auntie Lan was a bit younger than Grandma Lin…….

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoguan didn’t add anything.

“You guys wait a bit ah, I’ll make you two cups of tea,” Aunt Lan said and went into the inner room.

There were brown solid wood tables and chairs in the room, with sugar and snacks on them, which should be for the guests.

Yang Xiaoguan twisted up a piece of sugar and peeled off the sugar coating, then handed it to Ren Xiaosu, “Taste it, this is the flavor I remember from my childhood.”

Ren Xiaosu ate into her mouth, and a strong flavor of plums mixed with the saliva in her mouth filled the air.

For some reason, as soon as the sugar was in her mouth, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Aunt Lan walked out with a tea tray, and she looked at Yang Xiaoguan, ”Is there something going on back at Barrier 88 this time? Is there anything Aunt Lan can help with?”

As she said that, she also placed two cups of brewed black tea in front of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan.

Yang Xiaoguan shook her head as she pointed at Ren Xiaosu and said, “Nothing serious, just make him four suits and keep them for him as a spare.”

“I see,” Aunt Lan’s smile thickened, “I’ll have to do a good job then, but for four suits, I might need to ask the tailors from the other stores to help out, otherwise it’ll take me a long time to do it alone.”

“Well, it’s fine,” Yang Xiaoguan said and then looked at Ren Xiaosu, “How much is it?”

“It’s not necessary,” Aunt Lan smiled and shook her head, “Yang’s money saved with me is not used up, there’s still a lot left, I’ll get you the account book, it doesn’t matter if the rest of this money is used to make another twenty sets of clothes.”

Ren Xiaosu secretly sipped her tongue, is the consortium so rich and generous?

Yang Xiaoguan said, “No need to look at the account book, Auntie Lan, you can call a more familiar cobbler for me, I still need to give him twelve pairs of shoes.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when she heard this, even Aunt Lan was a bit incredulous, “Do you need to make so many?”

“Well,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “The strongest ones.”

At this point, even Aunt Lan felt something was wrong, who would normally make so many shoes at once?

And Ren Xiaosu felt a little uneasy in her heart, this feeling was like a kind of precursor to separation, like a wife who would prepare a lot of ingredients for her husband before she left on a trip, fearing that her husband would starve alone at home.

If her husband was traveling far away, the wife would nab ten pairs of shoes at home for him to wear on the road.

This was a gift before parting.

Yes, what Yang Xiaoguan was doing now was as if she was going to go on a long journey.

At this time Yang Xiaoguan was still explaining to herself to Aunt Lan: “The suit should be more loose at the waistline and around the armpits and shoulders, because he’s so active that sometimes he’s caught off guard and a fight breaks out, so if it’s very tight it will interfere with his activities. Also the shoes need to be extra sturdy, he’s already stepped on several pairs of shoes.”

Other than that, when a transcendentalist’s power suddenly explodes, the force borne by the feet and shoes is indeed extremely great, many transcendentalists actually have the affliction of feeing their shoes, and without two battles, the shoes turn into crocodile mouths.

This side of Yang Xiaoguan explained, Lan aunt immediately call a fixed telephone to call a shoemaker, the other party is also very professional, actually used the adhesive clay topography Ren Xiaosu’s foot type, said that this can make the most suitable shoes.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu enjoyed this treatment for the first time in her life.

When the foot print was being made, Yang Xiaoguan was still asking how long it would take to make the shoes, and whether it would be faster if she added money.

Then asked, can you prepare some more insoles or something, to be the best.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoguan had no more Yingqi, but instead had more tenderness.

After the cobbler left, Yang Xiaoguan suddenly asked Aunt Lan, “Where’s Uncle Li? How come I haven’t seen him for half a day since I came here, is he off today?”

Aunt Lan’s figure as she was picking out cloth paused for a moment before she slowly said, “On the night of the attack on Barrier 88, he was knocked down by a car trying to get away and then never woke up again.”

That night Ren Xiaosu had led Yan Liuyuan and the others to be the first to leave, but before they left, Li’s nano-warriors had already arrived at the barriers to begin their rampage.

That battle didn’t have much to do with Ren Xiaosu, but the reason why Li Clan’s nano-soldiers were able to break through Qing Clan’s defenses to reach Yang Clan was also intentional on Qing Zhen’s part.

That was why some people would say that no snowflake was innocent during an avalanche.

However, from Ren Xiaosu’s perspective, he couldn’t say that Qing Zhen’s choice was wrong.

In such a sad time, everyone was like a person drowning in water, and if they wanted to swim out to breathe, the only person they could rely on and trust was themselves.

If you weren’t strong enough, then don’t even think about trying to save other drowning people, because you’ll be ripped by the others’ necks and sink to the bottom of the sea together.

Auntie Lan said softly, “That day was his birthday, I closed the store early and went home to cook, he said that he had to go to measure a dress for someone else before he came home, but I realized later that he had gone to the flower market to buy a bunch of roses for me. When I found him, the roses were scattered next to his body, soaked in blood.”

Yang Xiaoguan froze for a long time without saying anything, while Aunt Lan didn’t have too much of a sad look on her face, being born in this era, who wasn’t used to seeing life and death?

According to the statistics of the Qing Clan, the per capita life expectancy of the Qing Clan in the past ten years was only 51, on one hand because of the lack of supplies, on the other hand, the level of medical care was also far inferior to that before the catastrophe.

Ren Xiaosu remembered that the per capita life expectancy in many cities before the disaster had exceeded 70, and there were also first-tier cities that were as high as 83 or more, which was the change brought about by the difference in the level of medical care.

So, this was an era where everyone was more adept at saying goodbye.

It’s not that everyone wants to be good at it, but life forces you to see it all.

Coming out of the tailor store, Yang Xiaoguan took a deep breath and said, “Xiaosu, when the clothes are done, you leave two gold bars for Auntie Lan for emergencies.”

“Uh, will do,” Ren Xiaosu nodded.

“Let’s go, it’s noon, I’ll treat you to beefcake to go, when I was a kid my favorite was beefcake, it smelled even better than at home,” Yang Xiaoguan said, she pondered silently, “I’ll go and buy you something else in the afternoon.”

Ren Xiaosu was a little silent, he didn’t know what this so-called other things were.

While walking on the road, he could feel Yang Xiaoguan’s deep nostalgia for this ledge, even though the other party didn’t have much affection with the Yang Consortium, this place carried the other party’s childhood and happiness.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaoguan bought him three brand new assault jackets, the best quality kind.

These days, those who can buy an assault jacket are basically either rich or noble, after all, there are too few people who can get out of the barriers and use an assault jacket.

In the outdoor store, Yang Xiaoguan also bought Ren Xiaosu the best engineering shovels, tents, thermal blankets, and even emergency oxygen bottles.

The generosity of Yang Xiaoguan and the variety of purchases simply made Ren Xiaosu’s jaw drop.

In the evening, this duck-tongued girl also went to specially buy many fresh seasonings for Ren Xiaosu, a buy is a large jar of that kind.

Salt, pepper, chili powder, soybean paste, soy sauce, oil, monosodium glutamate ……

The whole thing was there.

It felt as if she was afraid that Ren Xiaosu wouldn’t be able to find something to take advantage of when she was living alone.

In the end, Yang Xiaoguan also bought Ren Xiaosu a piece of the most expensive Ginkgo brand waterproof watch that could be found in Barrier 88.

At that time, the boss said that the watch was particularly sturdy, and one of his friends accidentally fell down the stairs with the watch, and nothing happened to the watch at all.

The only thing that was a bit of a pity was that although the watch wasn’t broken, his friend fell to his death ……

Ren Xiaosu, as a person with memories of pre-catastrophe civilization and post-catastrophe civilization, bought the watch with some emotion.

Some watches before the disaster could easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and they were not always available.

If you wanted to buy a tight watch on the counter, you also had to take two cheap watches, just like buying a best-selling car with a price increase.

Now it’s good, buy a piece of the most expensive watch, the boss joyfully take you as a wild father like to provide.

After coming out from the watch store, Ren Xiaosu looked at the gradually darkening sky finally some can’t help it: “Xiao Ge, you want to have any words, you can directly say to me ……”

Yang Xiaoguan glanced at him, “What should be said will be said sooner or later, don’t be in a hurry.”

Saying that, Yang Xiaoguan actually looked for an office supply store and bought a fountain pen and a small notebook.

When Ren Xiaosu saw her buy a pen and book, her heart thumped, this is to write a letter to herself, right? The kind that leaves a letter after leaving without saying goodbye?

After returning to the hotel that night, Yang Xiaoguan locked herself in the house and asked Ren Xiaosu not to sleep.

Yang Xiaoguan said that no matter what doubts Ren Xiaosu had in her mind, she would have an answer tonight.

In the summer, the wind picked up at night.

Ren Xiaosu climbed to the roof of the hotel alone from outside the window, he silently looked at the lights that had not yet been extinguished, suddenly a little lonely.

He was suddenly a little lonely.

In fact, Ren Xiaosu had never mentioned something on his mind to others, even Yan Liuyuan had never heard of his heart.

Sometimes, he would feel that he did not deserve a home.

It was not easy to take in an apprentice, but the apprentice sat down.

It was not easy to gather a group of bandits to rebuild their home, but the bandits were gone.

It was not easy to have a younger brother, but he went to the northern grasslands.

It was not easy to have an elder Jiang Xu, but Jiang Xu was assassinated.

Ren Xiaosu is like a person walking down a long dark street, looking back and realizing that there is no one waiting under the dim lights.

Under the lights, the only thing that was there was a sentence of farewell.

“Master, I’m leaving.”

“Brother, I can’t go back.”

“Little Su, take care.”

The hot summer night breeze came and blew away gently, the humid air in the south was like a hot and humid breath, and the occasional hint of coolness in the wind was like the song of a singer strumming his guitar.

Ren Xiaosu looked back in his memory, he walked over this long road, but still only himself.

On that road, there were only muddy footprints and messy thorns.

Other than that, nothing remained.

“I’m just a sweeper, right,” Ren Xiaosu smiled bitterly, “I can’t even keep a home.”

It turned out that the 144th Barrier An Ning Donglu home that he wanted to return to the most was only for himself in the end, ah, the other party didn’t actually want to go back.

The heart of a teenager is complex and fragile and sensitive, and Ren Xiaosu, who encountered love for the first time, was suffering like all teenagers.

However, just at this moment, a window below him opened, Yang Xiaoguan poked his head toward the roof of the Ren Xiaosu wave.

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, he thought that the other party would leave a letter to come, the result …… seems to be a little bit not the same as imagined?

He climbed down the wall, and when he drilled into Yang Xiaoguan’s room through the window, he saw the other party handing the small book in his hand to himself.

“This is ……?” Ren Xiaosu hesitated, he was a bit afraid to open it and read it.

It was just that Yang Xiaoguan had already changed from the silence and calmness of these two days, she smiled and said, “Open it and see.”

Ren Xiaosu turned over the first page, and in the center of the book was written, “Do not get angry and use the volume”.

Turning over the first page, on the back was written the explanation, “I won’t be angry with you anymore if you use this volume, and I will give you a big hug.

On the second page, it was written in the center of the book, “Use it when you say you’re leaving”.

Turning over the second page, there is an explanation written on the back: after using this volume, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth if you want to go there.

The third page is “Gentle and Considerate Roll”, after using this roll, I will be transformed into the gentlest little angel in a day.

The fourth page is “Massage Roll”, after using this roll, I can give you a 120-minute massage, and become your gold-medal technician, specializing in wrong bone massage.

The fifth page is the “luxury breakfast roll”, after using this roll ……

Ren Xiaosu page after page, that page of “privilege to use the volume” is like a warm red charcoal in the snowy day, all the bad mood are ironed out.

The privilege volume totaled ninety-nine pages, and the last page reads: “Term of Use, Forever”.

The last page reads, “Term of use, forever.” The inscription reads, “Love, Yang Xiaoguan.

Ren Xiaosu silently looked up at Yang Xiaoguan, he wanted to say something but ended up not being able to say anything.

Yang Xiaoguan smiled and said, “The gift I gave, do you like it?”

“Like it,” Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath and said, “But, you’ve been …… ignoring you for the past two days.”

“Ignoring you, huh? Deliberately angry with you,” Yang Xiaoguan said with a smile, “Next time, if you run far away without saying a word, there will be even more cruel punitive measures. Ren Xiaosu you remember, in the future, if this kind of going on an adventure alone comes up again, I’m going to have to beat you up.”

Ren Xiaosu: “……”

“Anything else you want to ask?” Yang Xiaoguan asked.

“Why are you so obsessed with accompanying me on an adventure,” Ren Xiaosu asked softly.

Yang Xiaoguan said seriously, “I lost you once, so I swore that I would never lose you again in this life.”

Ren Xiaosu asked again, “Then why did you suddenly give me so many gifts, like clothes, like shoes, like ……”

“After I learned that you were 240 years old, I was actually quite lost,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “It turns out that I had missed you by more than two hundred years.”

At that moment in the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, Yang Xiaoguan suddenly felt like she was looking at Ren Xiaosu from a distance across the long river of time.

At that moment, Yang Xiaoguan was even more lonely and despondent than Ren Xiaosu, as if a hand in time was pulling Ren Xiaosu away.

However, Yang Xiaoguan was an extremely straightforward person, since there was a distance, then she would pull the distance back.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned, he was just about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Yang Xiaoguan, “Don’t say anything first, let me speak.”

“During these two days, I took you to my favorite baozi store, as well as my favorite tailor store, including the store where I used to buy outdoor supplies,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “Actually, I just want to show you my past life, so that you can understand the me in front of you, as if you had lived beside me as well The same way.”

“I’m also giving you a gift because I want to make up for the life I missed out on with you, every time I think about the fact that you didn’t have me in 221 your life, I can hardly contain my loss. That’s why I’m going to make up 240 birthday gifts for you, so that there will be no lack. In the future, since you received the gift, you must treat it as if you’ve always had me by your side for the past 240 years.”

She gently hugged Ren Xiaosu, then gently pressed her face against Ren Xiaosu’s collarbone and said, “Xiaosu, we are all meeting love for the first time, I don’t know how to maintain this relationship, nor do I know how to express it. What I can do is not to leave myself any room for maneuver.”

Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at the duck-tongued girl in front of her, yes, both of them were encountering love for the first time in their lives, no one had been prepared for anything, and this sizzling emotion came without any defense.

The two of them seemed to be a little more passionate and abundant than the others, they had fought side by side, lived and died together, been separated and reunited.

The other didn’t have much experience in relationships, but was treating him with the sincerest of feelings.

People always said that companionship was the longest confession.

What Yang Xiaoguan wanted to do now was to accompany him throughout his entire life, whether it was in the past or in the future.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, ”Why didn’t the Gate of Keys open in your home at Barrier 144? Witches say that the key door will open in the place where they want to go the most ……”

As a result, this time, Yang Xiaoguan obviously froze for a moment, “That’s my home, I can go back anytime, so why open it there?”

When she said this, she actually froze Ren Xiaosu as well.

The end point of opening this key door is actually the inner needs, everyone’s psychological needs are different at every stage, children want to go to the candy house, Chen Wine wants to go to the seaside to escape the world, this is all what they can’t get.

If we follow Yang Xiaoguan’s argument, then the way to open the key door is actually: to go to the place you can’t go.

Ren Xiaosu had never had a home, so even though he now had a “home”, he was still a little bit worried inwardly.

Moreover, he was in the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, thousands of kilometers away from his home, and there was no Yang Xiaoguan by his side.

Unlike Yang Xiaoguan, she had already subconsciously taken that place as her home, so her inner need level dropped a lot: she could go back at any time anyway.

Ren Xiaosu always felt something was wrong: “Aren’t you afraid of losing that home?”

“Lose?” Yang Xiaoguan was curious: “Lose it how? You’re going to abandon that home? Do you dare?”

“Ahem,” Ren Xiaosu hurriedly said, “I don’t dare to dare ……”

“Then it’s not over,” Yang Xiaoguan said.

As a matter of fact, Yang Xiaoguan was instead the one who had entered the psychological stabilization period earlier, she already had a sense of security, Ren Xiaosu hadn’t.

Ren Xiaosu sighed, “I thought these days that you minded my age and wanted to leave without saying goodbye.”

The corner of Yang Xiaoguan’s mouth turned up, “If I don’t give you a long memory, what if you still run around in the future?”

“No more running around, no more running around,” Ren Xiaosu hurriedly assured.

“That’s more or less the same,” Yang Xiaoguan said triumphantly, “But it’ll be a bit troublesome for you to celebrate your birthday in the future, you’ll have to insert 240 candles, it’s scary to think about it. The friends who celebrate your birthday will be scared.”

Ren Xiaosu: “???”

Why say such things at a time like this?

“By the way,” Ren Xiaosu asked, “So you’re counting the number of gifts you’re giving, now that you’ve given enough for 240?”

Yang Xiaoguan shook her head and said, “No, it’s 239 pieces now. It’s only 239 pieces counting the 99 privilege use rolls.”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Then what’s the last piece missing?”

At this time, Yang Xiaoguan actually suddenly took off his duck-tongued cap, then said softly, “The 240th gift, is myself.”

Ren Xiaosu shivered, “Please don’t objectify women ……”

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Yang Xiaoguan throw the duck-tongue cap in his hand out to smash the light switch in the room, “I’ll see how long you’re still going to be a wimp!”

Summer boudoir moon, red sleeves do not have to cry.

This moment Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered what his father had said to him on that letter, Xiaosu ah, have you already had love?

Love is when you suddenly feel that you can feel happy without having to conquer the world, without having to make a name for yourself, without having to be successful, without having to be rich in money.

You even lose your ambition a little bit and feel that this is fine.

It’s that you mind everything and can compromise on everything.

Love is panicked and suffering, some people are lonely and white, but also some people finally understand that all this panic and waiting is worth it.

Love is meeting someone at the right time who wants to commit to you for life.
