Chapter 17 Rainy Night and Morning

"Boom!"

Thunder roared in the middle of the night, and then the rain fell like the sky, and it was another thunderstorm night.

Wang Li woke up from his sleep, and then quickly got up and went outside the room.

There was only one bedroom in their small apartment, and Jiang Yan gave him this bedroom, so he slept directly on the sofa bed outside.

The thunderstorm weather, especially the thunderstorm night, Wang Li knew that this was the shadow in his mother's heart.

He rushed out in a hurry, just in time to see his mother curled up on the sofa with the quilt in her arms...

"Mom, shall we watch TV for a while?"

he asks.

Jiang Yan's face turned pale, but he still insisted on being brave in front of his son.

She said, "Go to sleep, you still have work tomorrow."

Wang Li shook his head and said, "My work is finished today. I don't know if there will be an order tomorrow. It doesn't matter if I go later."

Jiang Yan said again: "Your boss will be angry if you say something stupid."

Wang Li instantly thought of the old horse... Then he let out a 'hiss~' gasp.

Jiang Yan asked: "What's wrong?"

Wang Li swallowed hard and said, "I'm a little worried about my boss, that is, my teacher..."

According to the place where he found the old horse in the past two days, he must not be under the torrential rain at this time, right?

Jiang Yan: "What's wrong with him?"

She was completely bewildered.

Wang Li said: "Forget it, don't worry about him now... I'll just go and have a look earlier in the morning."

As he spoke, he turned on the TV, turned up the volume, and sat on the sofa to watch it with his mother.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to let him go back to sleep by himself, so in the end he could only choose to let him go.

She also watched one after another, and soon fell asleep slowly with her head on her son's shoulder.

The thunder gradually faded away, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It feels so good to rely on my son...

Wang Li also felt tired, so he turned off the TV and fell asleep in this position.

Yingying stood by the side lively, tilted her head to ponder for a while, and brought a thin quilt from Wang Li's room to cover the mother and child.

She herself timidly came to Wang Li's other side, and then got under the quilt... tentatively, she also leaned her head on the master's body.

It's a pity that she is too short to reach Wang Li's shoulders, so she can only stuff her head into his creaking nest.

……

The next morning, it was still raining.

Jiang Yan woke up very early. She rubbed her sore neck and stood up cautiously, for fear of waking her son.

Their mother and son have lived together for more than ten years, and they are used to thinking about each other.

Wang Li still woke up. In fact, he found that his state of mental strength had eased, and with his body nourished to keep up, he needed less sleep time a day.

Just like last night, even though he only slept for more than four hours, he still looked very energetic.

He said, "Mom, I'll go to see the teacher first."

Jiang Yan looked at the time helplessly and said, "It's only five o'clock, so you probably haven't woken up yet?"

Wang Li said, "That's why I went to see it."

"Don't worry mom, I'm just looking, you should hurry up and have breakfast and go to work..."

Jiang Yan watched Wang Li leave helplessly, she was sensitively aware of the changes in her son.

It seems that after finding that job, Wang Li has become more and more assertive.

This made her a little sad, but more happy.

This means that Wang Li is finally ready to face the outside world.

……

Wang Li went out holding an umbrella.

The noodle shop in front of the house is already open.

"Boss, let me have another bowl of noodles as usual... No, this time I want to add shredded pork."

Wang Li hesitated for a moment, and chose to add food to himself.

After all, I am making more money now.

"Okay, a bowl of shredded pork noodles!"

The boss yelled and started to go down.

In fact, he and the proprietress of the back kitchen were the only ones in the store, and there were no other customers except Wang Li.

Not long after, the boss brought up a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

Then he said: "Young man, eat it. Fortunately, you ordered pork shredded noodles. If there are big row noodles or big bone noodles, we haven't prepared them yet."

Wang Li was also in the mood for a chat, and said, "So boss, do you have to get up so early every day to prepare toppings?"

The boss said: "So early? It's getting late now, we will be here at 03:30 to prepare to open the store."

"There are not many people coming here now. After 05:30, those who start work early will come to eat noodles... You must have a good meal in the morning, or you will be hungry before noon."

Wang Li listened with half understanding.

After eating the noodles in a hurry, when he left, the noodle shop really started to have customers coming in one after another.

"Boss, do I still have fried fish heads?"

"Come on, keep it for you!"

A middle-aged uncle dressed as a sanitation worker laughed boldly.

Sitting at the table and eating fried fish head served in oil, I feel like the happiest thing in the world.

Sensing Wang Li's gaze, the middle-aged uncle waved to him and recommended, "Young man, too? Then remember to come earlier next time. This morning, there are only two fish heads fried in oil. Come late." If you don’t, you can only eat fish slices!”

Wang Li nodded implicitly, then walked outside.

He walked outside with an umbrella. It was still raining heavily, but the street was slowly getting busy.

There are many people who come to this noodle shop...

The faces of these people are full of years of hardships and hardships of life, but Wang Li is the owner of the opposite store who sincerely admires... This owner must have opened the store so early just to take care of these people!

And to be honest, the prices inside are really affordable.

Wang Li felt a little moved, and felt that he would have a designated 'canteen' in the future.

The noodle soup was full of oil and water, which also gave him a strong sense of fullness.

He was walking briskly in the rain with an umbrella in his hand, and he was in a pretty good mood... Now he finally felt like he was blending into the city.

He was walking briskly in the rain, and Ying followed quickly with her short legs. She looked very comfortable under the rain, and even ran to the front in circles...

Wang Li looked at this scene with warmth in his eyes, and came to the 'Old Horse Grocery Store' after a while.

Then, unfortunately, he found his teacher in the trash.

This time, almost his whole body was soaked in all kinds of garbage and kitchen waste, and it looked like he had tasted it.

Wang Li grabbed his foot in disgust, and dragged him out of the trash.

The rain washed away for a while, but the smell was unbearable.

But this time the old horse didn't sleep soundly, and woke up with a jerk after the rain washed away.

He sat up in a daze, looked up at Wang Li...

"Are you here?"

He still didn't understand the situation.

But then he stood up in a jerk, looked at the trash can behind him, and quickly said, "I just fell down when I was taking out the trash here this morning..."

He's making amends.

It seems that it is a shame to be dug out of the trash can by students early in the morning.

Wang Li was dumbfounded at the time.

The feeling guy doesn't even know how he slept back in his room for the past two days!

He waited in a daze for the old horse to finish, and then said quietly: "Teacher, you forgot that you gave me the key to open the door the day before yesterday, and when I convinced you to go in yesterday, you vomited a big mouth at the door... "

The old horse's face flushed instantly, and he felt that he was dead.

Whoops, it seems that the old horse didn't drink enough wine last night, but this time he sobered up so early.

Wang Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, why don't we go in and talk about it?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you're exposed to the rain like this."

When the old horse heard it, he immediately nodded and said: "Come on, let's go in first."

Trembling, he began to fumble for the key.

Of course he didn't find it... His key was lost yesterday.

Wang Li had no choice but to come to the back door of the 'Old Horse Grocery Store' by himself, reached out and lightly tapped the lock cylinder, and the door lock opened by itself...

To be honest, the "Spiritual Light Exploration Formation" attached to "Healing Spiritual Light" brought Wang Li more than just an introduction to healing combat skills.

The old horse's gaze turned resentful.

This means... he can only ask Wang Li to open the door of his house in the future?

No, the door must be replaced...

He was so determined in his heart.

But then when he thought about the cost of changing the door, he immediately throbbed with heartache... just wait, anyway, Ah Li opened the door for him.

He walked through the door a little groggy.

But as soon as I stepped in, I was greeted by a big cloud of bubbles.

Wang Li looked at Xiao Ying beside him in surprise, why did she suddenly spit bubbles at the old horse?

But when he turned his head and saw that the dirt on the old horse's body was rapidly collapsing along with the bubbles, he immediately understood what was going on.

This is a new skill that Hotaru learned while watching cartoons yesterday, let's call it 'cleaning bubbles'.

This 'cleaning bubble' is actually a more precise control of the spirit servant ability.

Those popping bubbles are still 'clean water' in essence, and with the momentum of the popping bubbles, the dirt attached to the target can also be more efficiently collapsed.

For Yingying, the decontamination effect of this method is better, but it also saves consumption. It is more convenient to use than "clean water" in some specific scenarios.

"Hmm! Mmm~!"

Hotaru nodded solemnly, seemingly satisfied with the effect.

Speaking of it, it seems that Yingying's tricks are all first tested on the old horse.

Once the old horse was clean, he also felt refreshed.

Then there was an urge to give up on himself, and he walked directly to his room, and then fell down on his soft mattress with a plop.

Wang Li quickly suggested: "Teacher, you should take a hot bath at this time!"

The old horse waved his hand indifferently and said, "I want to sleep, don't bother me."

Wang Li shook his head helplessly and ignored it.

He believed that the old man could still take care of himself, otherwise how could he have survived till now.

He turned his head and went to tidy up the inside of the shop... The old man stayed in the shop for a whole day yesterday, and made a mess inside again.

Really don't know how this is done.

However, when he was tidying up, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the old horse's room...
