Immortal 2077

Chapter 22 Traveling alone
As soon as Bai Ruo entered the lobby of Bai's Medical Center, he saw Duo'er sitting behind the counter of the pharmacy reading a book.

"Boss, I'm back." Bai Ruo blurted out, but Duo'er rolled her eyes back.

Duo'er put down the medical book, sighed, and said helplessly, "Sister, you are shouting like that again! Others will misunderstand you. What are you going to do again? How long will you be going?"

Every time Bai Ruo calls her boss, she must mean to go out, and Duo'er is used to it.

"Soon, four or five days at the fastest, half a month at the slowest."

Hearing that it would take half a month, Duo'er's eyes widened instantly, but she quickly recovered, her expression did not change much, and she said in the same tone as before: "Be careful on the road, please come back early."

"You're pretending again!" Bai Ruo pointed at her unceremoniously.

Walking to Duo'er, Bai Ruo trampled on her now rounder face, and said with a gentle smile, "Obviously you don't want to part with it."

"But you are supposed to be a passer-by, you have stayed with me for too long... um—"

The flesh on Duo'er's face was painful from Bai Ruo's pinching, and she managed to break free. Before she had time to retreat three steps away, she was hugged tightly again, and her face was rubbed by her.

Bai Ruo always liked to "stick" with her like this, she resisted strongly at first, but after the resistance was ineffective, she became numb afterwards.The most hateful thing is that she can do this, but if Duo'er takes the initiative to post her, she will show disgust and say that she must have a "sense of boundaries".

Really very double standard!

"Don't worry, I will come back, this is my home. Stray birds also hope to have a shelter from the wind and rain, and I am no exception. Duo'er is my important family."

Bai Ruo's words were very nasty, Duo'er would have been crying in the past, but now she can't cry anymore, because the tears have been shed in the past.

"And Mumu." Duo'er added.

"Well, there's also Mu Mu. By the way, where is she? I haven't seen her a lot lately." Bai Ruo finally let Duo'er go.

"Let's fall in love~" Duo'er said lightly.

"what!!!"

Bai Ruo was taken aback. Mumu and Duo'er were in the same grade, she was just a young girl.Falling in love at this age?Bai Ruo felt his head hurting.

Among the neighbors of the Bai Family Medical Center, there is a family that makes a living by fishing.There are only two people in the family, a grandfather with gray hair, and a boy aged fifteen or sixteen.That grandpa is famous as a "fishing quasi", his fishing skills are as good as fire, and the teenagers have also learned his true skills, and his fishing skills are amazing.

They often fish on a river embankment not far from the city, and they will "return with a full load" every few days, and then distribute the fish to the Baijia Medical Center.

According to Duo'er, the friendship between the two families was established during the rainy season, but Bai Ruo, the parent, knew nothing about it.It was only when I ran into the young man helping to deal with the weeds in the backyard that I heard Duo'er talk about it.

She was always running outside during that time, so she can't be blamed as a parent for not caring, right?

Bai Ruo lay on the corner of the leading house, carefully peeping inside.In fact, she already knew the situation inside with "living animal perception", and she did this "stupid" behavior in Duo'er's eyes just to make it more atmospheric.

Duo'er glanced at her speechlessly, and walked in directly through the front door.

"Routine search!"

Bai Ruoqi ran behind Duo'er and yelled inward, so that in the eyes of outsiders, Duo'er was an accomplice in making trouble with her.

Duo'er used to be thin-skinned, and she felt ashamed when Bai Ruo played tricks like this.But now that Bai Ruo's face has been "scrubbed" thick, let alone two people, even a room full of people, she doesn't panic.

In the yard, Mu Mu was squatting on the ground, scraping fish scales with a small knife in his hand.Not far from her was a young man who was killing fish. After removing the internal organs, he cut the fish into two halves that could be spread out, and hung them on a shelf with bamboo weaving strings.

This is preparing to dry the fish and store it for the winter.

It is said that the winter here lasts for five months, and it will start to snow from October until next January.It is absolutely impossible to get out of town in the coldest month of December, so stockpiling food is important.

As soon as Mu Mu saw Bai Ruo coming, she hurriedly stood up, like a child who has done something wrong.

Bai Ruo never scolded her, and he didn't know why she was so afraid of him.

Mu Mu's identity is unknown, but judging from her physical condition, she was originally a delicate and precious child.If she let her family know that her precious daughter is actually scraping fish scales here, I don't know if it will piss them off.

"That is Li Mushuan."

Duo'er pointed to the shy boy who followed Mu Mu and stood up.

It was as if Bai Ruo was here to find fault.

Bai Ruo could only bite the bullet and continue acting: "Li Mushuan... You're the one who lied to my girl, right? You dared to ask her to kill the fish for you, but Mu Mu doesn't touch the sun in my house!"

"Obviously he was washing the dishes yesterday." Duo'er muttered loudly.

"Don't break the stage in front of you!"

Bai Ruo was so angry that he couldn't continue acting. The two children were not "Lengtouqing" who could joke around. Now their heads were almost lowered to their necks. If they talked about it again, they might get into the ground later.

Bai Ruo cleared her throat, and said in a gentle voice, "Mumu, I'm here to bring you food."

Bai Ruo took out the small basket behind her, which contained pastries from Baihua Teahouse.

"Well, thank you, Sister Bai."

Mu Mu nodded obediently, came over to take the basket, then stood there without moving, not speaking, which made Bai Ruo very embarrassed.

The same goes for the "stupid guy" standing there with a blushing face, neither entertaining nor chasing people away, not even saying a word...

What's so good about a piece of wood, Bai Ruo complained in his heart.

Li Mushuan held back for a long time before he finally reacted and said "thank you" to break the silence in the yard.Bai Ruo really couldn't bully a child who was too honest, and Bai Ruo couldn't even play too hard on a child like Zhiyuan.

"Go away."

Bai Ruo greeted Duo'er, and before leaving, she whispered to Mu Mu's ear and reminded her: "There are limits to everything, no skin-to-skin contact, if he dares to bully you, come to me or Duo'er to complain and beat him for you. "

Mu Mu nodded obediently, and Bai Ruo said again: "I'm going out for a while now, you and Duo'er have to be careful about everything at home."

She confessed clearly before leaving satisfied, and before closing the door, she did not forget to give Li Mushuan a look to "warn" him.

Back at the clinic, Duo'er helped Bai Ruo clean up and salute.

Duo'er prepared a few changes of clothes for her, as well as a few bank notes, which were wrapped in a small cloth bag, which was very convenient for carrying or carrying.

"Do you want to leave tomorrow?"

"Just now, I'll go back early."

Duo'er frowned: "If you can't come back for a while, remember to send a letter to let me know."

"There will be no such thing."

"Really? What if you meet someone like me again? Do you have the heart to leave it alone?" Duo'er looked directly at Bai Ruo.

Being stared at by her, Bai Ruo actually felt guilty, as if such a thing would really happen.
