[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

It was completely dark when the three of them packed up the grocery store so that people could barely enter it.

Instructing Kuroro, who was still an adult, to stand on the rickety chair, take off the plaque with his drooping head and throw it into the corner, and then took half a brick from the broken shelf and put it on the lame counter Below, the floor that could not be cleaned for a while was covered with a layer of newspapers. Looking around the room that was still dusty and drafty on all sides, we decided to have dinner first.

I searched around, but couldn't find enough chairs to sit on, so I dropped three benches and a hamburger set meal for three people out of thin air with my words.Last night and this morning, I only ate bread to satisfy my hunger because of the rush, and I wandered around the eighth district at noon and didn't bother to eat. Now I am sitting peacefully on the bench, eating a hamburger and drinking a soda. We all eat very deliciously.

There is no moonlight tonight, only the rustling of the old tree on the corner of the street in the darkness outside.There is a battery-operated seat lamp on the counter. The slightly yellowish halo can only illuminate the surrounding three meters away, casting a small circle of light on the ground, like a cramped but enough isolated island in the cold night.

I sat with my back against the counter, chewed on a burger and raised my head, following the cold wind blowing, I looked at the door of the grocery store.The broken wooden door full of holes has been pushed back reluctantly. Through the gap above, you can see the chaotic night outside. The darkness spreads to the feet of Fei Tan who is sitting with his back to the door, engulfing the messy ground. newspaper.

To be honest, the environment of this foothold is really bad, I wonder if we have been tricked by others.But even in such a cold night, when I looked at Kuroro and Feitan, who were huddled on the bench like little mice, gnawing their hamburgers, I felt warm in my heart.How long has it been since he had eaten so freely, on his own territory, without surveillance or chasing soldiers?

"Let's toast!" I held up the soda at my feet, stretched it out to the middle of the small circle formed by the three of us, and raised a bright smile, "What a day to celebrate!"

"cheers."

"cheers."

Kuroro and Feitan held up their sodas in unison.Kuroro has changed back to his own appearance, with a baby fat face, wide black eyes showing a serious expression, a smear of salad dressing on the corner of his pursed mouth ruined his seriousness.Fei Tan was still a bit dull, with sesame seeds and lettuce residues on his face, feeling inexplicably happy.

The three paper cups collided under the simple light, and the transparent soda splashed out, like our downcast and pure happiness.

"Tomorrow will be better!" I said to the soda I held up, like a wish and a promise.

"Become stronger!" Fei Tan.

"Leave Meteor Street." Kurolo.

Then we took a sip of the cup as if nothing had happened, then lowered our heads and continued to eat the burger.Just like this, the three of them sat in a circle in a grocery store with air leaks on all sides, eating hamburgers with a small lamp blowing the night wind, and they actually tasted an unprecedented taste of happiness.

After eating, we went out through the small door behind the counter, through a small dark courtyard, and came to the room behind the courtyard.

The grocery store is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The storefront with the shelves is the front room, and there is a small yard at the back. The back room opposite the yard is the owner's living room.The courtyard and the back room were glanced at during the day. The yard is not big, and there are a lot of useless garbage piled up. The living room I live in is quite spacious, with simple to crude furniture: a long table and a single bed.It turned out that the old man lived there every day, and it was much tidier than the outside, and he could live there without special cleaning.

Our future bedroom has yet to be furnished.The single bed is not big enough to fit the three of us.It’s just that I’m so tired that my eyelids are fighting, thinking that it’s just a bare plank anyway, I simply slept on the bed with Kuroro, and Feitan made up for the night on the table.

"...Ah, I'm exhausted." Kuroro fell headlong on the hard bed, his voice was sleepy and vague.

"Sleeping." Fei Tan put one hand on the edge of the table, lightly jumped onto the table, and lay down directly.

Only I am still standing in the middle, looking left and right, I always feel that something is missing...

"Ah!" I clapped my hands violently, "quilts! And pillows! ... Mats! Sheets!"

Following my excited cry, there were several muffled "bang bang", and the heavy bedding and pillows fell on the bed.

"Yeah, I have the quilt, and the bed sheets... and two more pillows..." I stood beside the bed, lighting the soft fabric happily, "Ah, this quilt is so big, why don't you and I cover it with you, Kurolo?" One bed, right?"

"...anything is fine, can you tell me first when you drop something?" Kuroro silently lifted off the thick quilt that was hitting him when he appeared, revealing his suppressed and flushed face, his eyes Faint.

"Do you want to suffocate me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." I stuck out my tongue guiltily, and while picking up the sheet and unfolding it, I said to him, "Get up, I'll make the sheet."

Kuroro lay on his back on the bed, staring at me unblinkingly with ridiculously large eyes, expressionless.

I stood by the bed, holding the sheet in my hand and looking at him.

He slowly slipped off the bed, and stood crookedly beside the bed, watching me neatly spread the blue floral sheet on the single bed, and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing laying it on? Trouble..."

He seemed really sleepy, and his lazy voice dragged on for a long time, with a blurred end.His eyes narrowed, as if he could fall asleep standing up in a second.

"My own territory! Why don't you sleep more comfortably?" Although I was also very tired, I felt very excited when I touched the soft bedding. I grabbed two fat and white pillows and placed them side by side on the head of the bed, feeling happy. He said, "It's been a long time since I saw that broken sponge in the nursery school is not pleasing to the eye! If you sleep on the wooden board, you will have calluses all over your body!"

I made the bed for myself and Kuroro, picked up the remaining set of bedding and put it on Feitan's table, Feitan sat on the table looking down at me like a master.

"...Fei Tan, don't you want to spread it?" He took up most of the tabletop, so I had to lean one end of the quilt on the tabletop to borrow strength, and hold the heavy and tall pile in my arms and use my chin to keep it balance.

"... Just give me the quilt and pillow." Uncle Fei Tan said in a hoarse voice.

"...Take them all!" I rolled my eyes at him with difficulty, and rudely stuffed the quilt into his arms.He took it, looked down, and raised his eyes to stare at me.

"……what happened again?"

"Quilt." He looked suspiciously at the patterns on the quilt.The bed was a single quilt, which was much smaller than the one I put on the bed, but it was a very soft pink, with silly and cute cartoon sheep painted on it.Imagine Feitan, who is not cute and cute at all, covered with such a quilt...

"Puchi!...Okay, okay, I didn't do it on purpose, I have nothing to choose...don't stare at me!" I turned around and grabbed the pillow from the bed and put it next to him, turned around and impatiently kicked off my shoes and climbed onto the bed. He yawned and said, "Ha - I'm so sleepy. I fell asleep..."

Well, Kuroro has already got into bed and closed his eyes.I rolled over him clumsily and climbed to the inside, and said while slipping under the quilt: "Fei Tan, don't forget to turn off the light."

With a "snap", the seat lamp standing under the table was brutally turned off, and the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness.I lay on the pillow, feeling the long-lost cloud-like softness around me, and my consciousness was half blurred in an instant.

I subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly, feeling exhausted all over my body, extremely sore and limp.I smacked my lips and said with the last willpower: "Good night, Kuroro, Feitan." At the same time, I reached out and groped to find Kuroro's wrist under the quilt, and shook it confusedly.

In the quiet and dark room, Feitan gave a "hum" as a response, and Kuroro also gave a perfunctory "hmm", and the wrist I was holding moved very slightly.

The necessary pre-bedtime procedures are finally completed. I can't wait to turn over, face the wall, curl up and move to a comfortable angle, roll the quilt in my arms, rub the pillow under my head, and sigh with enjoyment tone.

I fell into a dark and sweet dream almost immediately, and my last thought before my consciousness dissipated was: I must take a bath tomorrow!

It was a sleepless night, and when I woke up the next morning, the sun was already high.

I was woken up by Kuroro.

Opening his eyelids in a daze, he saw Kuroro standing by the bed, the sunlight coming in from the window behind him was very dazzling.I only opened my eyes and closed them again immediately, and I heard Kuroro say above my head: "Get up, I'll wait for you to have breakfast."

"Oh, get up right now." I replied vaguely.This time I slept well, and I'm not sleepy at the moment, but my body is still lazy and I can't cheer up.I hugged the quilt and sat up on the bed, and found that almost half of the quilt was rolled into a ball and held in my arms, but the half that was originally on Kuroro's side covered my body.

Kuroro seems to have woken up early, seeing that I went outside again after waking up, and I looked at the table where Feitan slept last night, and there was only a pink quilt that was smeared like pickles on it, No one was there.

So I pushed away the quilt, got out of bed, put on my shoes, and shuffled out into the yard.

The courtyard sandwiched between the front and back houses is really not big, with high walls on the left and right, and a small space surrounded by wooden boards on the right hand side near the back room, which is entitled to be used as a toilet.The ground of the yard is the same bare land as the streets of the Eighth District, and the courtyard walls on both sides are full of messy collected but useless waste, which takes up a lot of space.

Both Kuroro and Feitan are in the yard. Kuroro is holding the door frame of the front room, which is the back door of the grocery store, with one hand, hanging in the air to practice his arm strength. Feitan is even more exaggerated. When I searched around and found him , he was squatting firmly on the high courtyard wall, like a big cat.

Today's weather is very good, the sun shines through the thick clouds and can still see the golden color on the land, which looks warm and warm.I stood at the door of the back room, looking at the two diligent little partners with twitching corners of my mouth, and couldn't help but say to Kuroro who was dangling under the door frame facing me: "Be careful, don't Pull down the door frame!"

Ku Luoluo let go of his hand, and fell back to the ground steadily and walked towards me. The top two buttons of the white shirt that had never changed for thousands of years were undone, and the exposed neck was covered with sweat, and he looked radiant.

"Lydia, call for breakfast, she's starving."

I looked at him, and then at Feitan who had jumped down from the wall and approached without a sound. He was about to order breakfast when he suddenly remembered something and looked around them seriously: "Wait! Did you forget something? ?”

Kuroro raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"What?" Feitan's voice revealed the impatience of waiting for feeding.

I took a deep breath and said solemnly: "From today on, we must regain the good habit of brushing our teeth and washing our face!"

Fei Tan was puzzled and disapproving, and my forehead twitched, thinking that he was a native of Meteor Street and didn't care about him.Looking at Kuroro again, he slammed his face on the palm of his hand in great pain, as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

Good hygienic habits should start from the baby!I have a lot of confidence in myself.

The three squatted in a row on the strips of waste piled up in the corner of the courtyard, holding a toothbrush in one hand and a mouthwash cup in the other, spitting foam out of their mouths in unison, "Gulu-gululu-bah!"

The large bucket of mineral water was unscrewed, and Kuroro poured it on the ground without mercy. I held the poured water with my hands and slapped it on my face. The cool and refreshing feeling made me feel much more refreshed.After washing with a few more handfuls of water, I dried my face with a clean towel and walked away two steps: "Fei Tan, come here."

Fei Tan finds it troublesome to brush his teeth, but he likes to wash his face very much.Probably watching the clear water that people in Meteor Street regard as life being dumped on the ground by buckets and buckets, and the dark water stains appearing on the yellow land that has been dry all year round, there is a particularly raging pleasure.

After washing our faces one by one, the three of us worked together to move the long table where Feitan slept last night to the yard, and I placed an assortment of food and fruits on it as our first breakfast in the new house.Bread that was fried to brown on both sides, steaming fried eggs and bacon, sweet jams, seasonal fruits, as well as fragrant coffee and milk tea, and of course the essential milk.Unexpectedly, Fei Tan didn’t like milk either, just to grow taller (torturing each other), the three of us urged each other, bit the bullet and downed three glasses of milk.

It was rare for everyone to eat and drink so happily, and they all ate their fill in the end.The food on the table was wiped out, and the few remaining fruits were taken to the back room with great care—although the poverty of Meteor Street has not affected us, it has taught us to cherish every piece of food after all. food.Moreover, is it not a lesson of blood that you should not get carried away with pride? We still understand the truth that fresh food must not be exposed.

Satisfied with food and drink, basking in the rare sunshine, I feel a little lazy for a while and don't want to move.

"Is the grocery store still open?" I asked with my upper body basking in the sun on the clean long table like a boneless one.

"If it is opened, the shop propped up by three children will be too eye-catching, and it will inevitably attract suspicion and covetousness. But if it is not opened, we will have no source of livelihood in the eyes of others, and it will be more abrupt and suspicious." Kuroro leaned back At the long table, he raised his head and put a hand on his eyes, and distress was also revealed in his voice.

"It seems that there is a choice, but in fact, only by keeping the shop open can we gain a foothold in the eighth district. It's just that there are only children in charge of the shop... It's so troublesome." He muttered dissatisfied.

"Then let's go." Fei Tan sat cross-legged on the long table, and his tone revealed the ease of "it's nothing new to overcome thorns and thorns". "If someone makes trouble, just call back. What about children?" He narrowed his eyes Squinting his eyes, he naturally revealed a fierceness, "Isn't Meteor Street just talking about strength?"

"We are still guarding a shop." I added, "If we can't get along in the eighth district like this, it's the same in other places. Where do we not need strength? If we can stand up, we can stand up no matter what. Get up, if you can't stand up, you can't stand up no matter what. If you have the strength, you don't have to hide from any troubles. If you don't have strength, it's useless to hide no matter how much you try. The troubles that should come will always come. Opening and closing the door, it's all the same .”

"In the final analysis, we are still not strong enough." Kuroro put down his hand covering his eyes, his face turned sideways was very calm, there was no frustration in his voice, but a slight chill.

"But the strength is all forced out. There are more people coming to the door, and we just happened to practice." He quietly raised the corners of his mouth, and arrogance appeared on his fair face.

"The more enemies you kill, the stronger you are."
