Thirty-Seven, the Outside World

"Mr. Zhang," Ren Xiaosu said politely to Zhang Jinglin, "I hope you can allow Liu Yuan and Sister Xiaoyu to live in the school while I am away."

Zhang Jinglin looked at Ren Xiaosu doubtfully and said, "Have you decided that you must go?"

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid there is no way to reject them anymore. You have also seen Zhang Baogen's ending. Now you and I are in the hands of these people in the barrier. If I take the initiative to go and encounter danger, I can Avoid it in time, or even sacrificing others to save yourself, but if I stay here and reject them, I'm afraid they will use vile methods to greet us."

"Is there no better choice?" Zhang Jinglin asked.

"I'm afraid not," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "But don't worry, Mr. Zhang, maybe they are all dead, and I may not be in trouble."

In fact, Ren Xiaosu just didn't want to go into troubled waters at first, but now with his physical fitness and his past experience of surviving in the wilderness, Ren Xiaosu is not worried that he will not be able to come back.

And the return conditions given by the other party did not satisfy him. If he, Yan Liuyuan, and Sister Xiaoyu had three places to enter the refuge barrier, it would be almost the same, otherwise it would be meaningless.

He really wanted to enter the barrier of refuge, but he couldn't leave Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu alone.

What Ren Xiaosu didn't tell Yan Liuyuan was that he didn't know why, after having the ability, when he was tossing and turning one night, he also longed for the bigger world outside.

This market town is too small, so small that you can see the head at a glance from a high place, so small that he can hear the voice of a widow in the west scolding the hooligans in the east of the market town.

He also wanted to go out and have a look.

The only thing Ren Xiaosu can't worry about now is what if he leaves the safety of Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan.

If Zhang Jinglin doesn't agree to stay with Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan, then Ren Xiaosu can't go with the band without saying anything.

"It seems that you know what you have in mind. You can let your sister Xiaoyu and Liuyuan stay here at night, and I will clean up the house for them." Zhang Jinglin nodded. In the wilderness, Zhang Jinglin felt that there were no people in the entire market town. Experience, so he, the school gentleman, saw that the other party had his own confidence, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhang Jinglin agreed, Ren Xiaosu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, I have the 5,000 yuan I have recently saved here and you can accept it, just treat it as the boarding fee for Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan."

"Take it back," Zhang Jinglin shook his head and said, "I am a teacher from the school, and I only charge tuition fees."

"Sir, don't refuse, you can buy some cigarettes," Ren Xiaosu said.

Zhang Jinglin hesitated for a moment: "Cough, then I'll charge one thousand, just take it as rent."

Ren Xiaosu didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered Zhang Jinglin to pay 1,000 yuan. He is usually stingy.

With the remaining four thousand or so, Ren Xiaosu intends to give it directly to Sister Xiaoyu.

This money can't be handed over to Yan Liuyuan. If Sister Wan Xiaoyu has any thoughts about this money, she will walk away with the money, but she will not be mean to Yan Liuyuan.

But if the money is on Yan Liuyuan, then Yan Liuyuan's safety will be threatened.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu still had a little bit of guard against Sister Xiaoyu. This kind of thinking might be wrong. I'm a little sorry for Sister Xiaoyu, but this must be the most difficult choice to leave any regrets and pains.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu still felt that the time they spent with Sister Xiaoyu was too short, not that he suspected that Sister Xiaoyu had any purpose.

It's just that he struggled to live in this wasteland for so long, and he fought for his life every day, and every step seemed to bleed the ground.

In such a life, how can it be so easy to hand over fate to people who have only known each other for a few days.

Ren Xiaosu took Yan Liuyuan back to the clinic to pack up.

He didn't expect that the "new home" he had just acquired would be idle again. Wang Fugui said beside him, "Don't worry, I will give you a good look at this yard, and I will never let other people live in it."

"Okay, thank you first," Ren Xiaosu said.

"Actually, you don't have to let them live in the school. What are you afraid of when I'm here," Wang Fugui laughed.

"I'm not even guarding you," Ren Xiaosu ruthlessly rejected Wang Fugui's proposal. In this market town, only the school is the safest place.

Wang Fugui was not angry either, he knew what kind of person Ren Xiaosu was, so it was expected that Ren Xiaosu would even guard against him.

Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan didn't speak the whole time, they just packed their things with their heads sullen. It wasn't until everything was packed that Yan Liuyuan asked in a low voice, "Can't we not go?"

"I will come back. As long as the road is right, it is not dangerous. If it is really dangerous, I will leave them behind and run back," Ren Xiaosu said. He did not answer Yan Liuyuan's question, but directly put the money It was stuffed to Sister Xiaoyu: "Anyway, I have nowhere to spend money when I go to the wilderness. You can take this money."

"Well," Sister Xiaoyu agreed, "bring more dry food. It's too hard to find food by luck in the wilderness."

"No," Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "If you don't consider the taste and affordability, as long as you pass the first few dozen kilometers, the food is still easy to find."

But Sister Xiaoyu's words reminded Ren Xiaosu that since he can put the medicine bottle back in his mind palace at any time, what else can he do?

Since medicine bottles are all real objects with quality, it means that the palace is also a strange space.

If this is the case, Ren Xiaosu would like to secretly take away the well in the market town. After all, the water source outside is really uneasy to drink.

That's probably what it means when you say leaving your hometown, right?

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu secretly tried to put a piece of wotou in his hand into the palace, but a magical thing happened the next moment: the wotou didn't move...

The palace made a sound: "I haven't obtained permission to receive it."

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, it turns out that he can really store things in the palace, but he doesn't have the qualifications yet!

He asked in his mind, "How can I get the permission to receive it?"

"Not authorized to answer," the palace fell silent, and did not answer Ren Xiaosu's question.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the palace didn't seem to have his own consciousness, it was just issuing specific tasks to Ren Xiaosu based on some logic, and its role... It seemed that it was only to guide Ren Xiaosu's behavior.

...

Ren Xiaosu placed Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan in the academy and turned and left without hesitation. Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan stood at the door of the academy and looked at Ren Xiaosu's back in the dark, Yan Liuyuan suddenly asked, "Xiaoyu Sister, you actually know why he gave you all the money, right?"

"Well," Sister Xiaoyu replied calmly.

"Then do you blame him?" Yan Liuyuan looked at Sister Xiaoyu.

"No," Sister Xiaoyu laughed.

Ren Xiaosu walked a long way before finally turning his head to look in the direction of the school. At this time, the sky above the sky was vast and the stars were like the sea.

He turned around and walked firmly towards the clinic, welcoming the incoming guests.

Many times people will understand the moment they look back on their life, maybe only a small decision was made in a certain period of time, but that may be a fork in the road of great changes in fate.

Left or right is in my own thoughts, and then I made a decision and ran to that unknown future without hesitation.

But at the time, I thought it was just an ordinary day in my life.
