A few minutes later, Xia Mo called again:

"Hello? Xia Mo, what's wrong?

I just saw that information, well, I have nothing to say.

Going to Master Dong's place for dinner? No, I'm going to Uncle Gu's house today.

Uh... if you go there every day, you'll scare her.

It's up to you, hang up, see you later."

Coming back from the world of Xianxia this time, Lin Hao had another thing on his mind -

The nine-headed monster looks exactly like an orthopedic nurse.

What is their relationship?

Or, is he just a person at all?

Probably not possible.

The nine-headed monster is obviously male. Even if the monster has a long lifespan and lives until 2020, there is no reason to transform into a woman.

Moreover, in the world of Xianxia, ​​Dong Yu is not the only monster. If he can survive to this day, others should also be able to. Why have I never heard of any monsters somewhere?

It's probably a coincidence. I'll talk to that nurse again when I get the chance.

………………

After get off work, Lin Hao did not go home, but took the subway to Sanyan Bridge in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.

This is Xiaoyue's home.

Since Gu Xiaoyue's death, he has been coming here once or twice a month.

Xiaoyue is an only child. Her mother passed away more than ten years ago, and her father Gu Dingjun also retired. With a meager pension, she can only make ends meet.

But he was very stubborn and would never accept Lin Hao's well-intentioned support, not even once.

After getting off the subway, Lin Hao went to the vegetable market and bought three lotus roots, two pounds of spines, a pound of peanuts and a bottle of strong wine.

Xiaoyue likes to drink lotus root soup the most. She often says that to simmer lotus root soup, you need to use the backbone. The soup made by simmering the ribs is not white enough and not fragrant enough.

The peanuts were eaten by Uncle Gu. He liked to drink a little wine, but his health was not very good. The small bottle of strong wine had a small amount and low alcohol content, which was just right to satisfy his craving.

………………

Xiaoyue's house is a kind of tube building from the last century. It is very old and has five floors. Xiaoyue's house is on the top floor. Since there is no elevator and the house is old, many people have moved out.

In this building, including Xiaoyue's family, there are only five or six households left.

"Here you go, sit down wherever you want, I'll make the soup." Gu Dingjun was in his early sixties, slightly chubby, with gold-rimmed eyes, and he looked a little like Xiaoyue.

"Hey, Uncle Gu, do you want my help?" Lin Hao handed the ingredients to Gu Dingjun.

"No, no, you'll be able to eat soon. By the way, that lamp is broken again, go and have a look." Gu Dingjun pointed to Xiaoyue's room.

What he was talking about was the lamp on Xiaoyue's desk.

It might be because of the desk lamp charger. Almost every time Lin Hao came over, the light bulb would break. He once suggested changing the charger. Uncle Gu didn't say anything, just shook his head, wrapped the charger carefully, and silently put it in the drawer.

Lin Hao never mentioned it again.

But from then on, every time he came here, he would bring a threaded light bulb of the same model.

The desk lamp is pink, has two big chubby ears, and looks cute and girly.

And even after so many years, there is not a speck of dust.

This is because people wipe it every day.

Lin Hao skillfully changed the light bulb, just like many times in the past——

The light came on again.

Lin Hao left Xiaoyue's room.

He didn't need to look any further.

Because every book, every drawer, and every inch here has been deeply engraved in my mind.

………………

In the evening, the meal was ready.

Lin Hao and Gu Dingjun sat opposite each other, eating dinner a little plainly.

Gu Dingjun didn't say much. He just smiled and listened to Lin Hao talk about what he had seen and heard these days, picking up a peanut from time to time.

Lin Hao took a big gulp of the soup, and when he got excited, he danced and laughed like a child.

They never mention Xiaoyue.

It was as if Xiaoyue had just left them temporarily.

Although, it was Lin Hao who buried her with his own hands.

"Uncle Gu, I'm leaving. I'll come back to see you in a few days." When the sky turned dark, Lin Hao stood up and said goodbye.

There was a hint of coolness in Jiangcheng under the night. Lin Hao walked slowly along the street path.

"Meteor shower!" someone shouted from the roadside.

Looking up, a shooting star streaked across the night sky.

"No, it's just a meteor. Do you think you're so lucky that you can see a meteor shower casually?" Another person denied.

Meteor showers were a symbol of disaster in ancient times.

………………

An hour later, Lin Hao returned to the rental house.

His own home was demolished last year. Since his parents are abroad all year round, he directly asked for the demolition money and did not ask for a house.

The rental house is not big, and the furnishings are very simple. It has one bedroom, one living room, one bed, a large wardrobe, and a computer desk, a three-piece set for an otaku.

After returning home, Lin Hao carefully locked the door, and then his heart moved, and dragon fruit appeared in the palm of his hand.

Gulu——

He originally just wanted to take a bite, but unexpectedly, the dragon fruit melted in his mouth and turned into a handful of warm liquid in the blink of an eye, sliding directly into his belly.

cold.

Biting cold.

There seemed to be a solid mass of ice in my stomach.

This is a cold that ordinary people simply cannot bear.

After a few seconds, the brain's automatic protection mechanism activated - Lin Hao passed out.

………………

I don't know how long it took, but Lin Hao woke up leisurely.

I calmly felt the various functions of my body, and everything was normal.

It was like just taking a sip of ice water.

Bai Lianhua and Dong Yu should have no reason to lie to themselves.

Is it because he is a time traveler that the dragon fruit is invalid?

Or is it that if there is no technique, there will be no effect?

Lin Hao didn't know the answer.

I looked at the palm of my hand and saw that there was about half of the hourglass left.

Let’s talk about it next time we go there.

………………

The next day, the Psychiatric Department of the Fifth City Hospital.

"Doctor Lin, I'll leave Qier to you." Outside the clinic, Su Mingde looked at Lin Hao with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Lin Hao nodded: "Dean Su, I will try my best, but you must also be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Su Mingde squatted down, as tall as his daughter: "Qier, listen to Uncle Lin, you know? He will help you."

Su Qi was holding a rogue rabbit doll. She didn't speak when she heard this, but nodded reluctantly.

Lin Hao took Su Qi's hand: "Come, come into the room with uncle."

………………

"Xiao Qi, be good, uncle doesn't need you to do anything. You can just lie here and take a nap, okay?" Lin Hao pointed to the recliner in the clinic with a pleasant look.

Su Qi raised her head with confusion in her eyes. After a moment, she lay down obediently and closed her eyes.
