we are just monsters

Chapter 106 stay
Fireworks are fleeting.

Like people, time is the most ruthless.

Zhou Muqing doesn't like fireworks, I can't say why, maybe it's because it's too short, or maybe it's because it's too gorgeous.

One big and one small looked at the bright fireworks in the sky.

Her arm moved slightly, she really wanted to find someone to hold her, she turned her head, but there was only Zhou Xiaotian, a little apprentice, beside her.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Xiaotian always felt that Master was different from others. He didn't have so many emotions, and he didn't have any special interests. He was like a fairy. The only thing he liked to do was to urge her to study.

Later, after a long time, when she grew up, she recalled that Master was like a wisp of ghost, wandering about without belonging.

After Zhou Muqing passed away, she stayed in the store alone, wandering outside the city, looking at the street outside the door in a trance, the bustling noise in the city had nothing to do with this remote corner, Zhou Xiaotian also felt the loneliness of her master.

Probably they were both lonely and widowed in their master and apprentice lives, that's why they were abandoned. Fortunately, she met the master.

At the end of 2001, the country successfully joined the WTO. After that, it seemed to be an accelerator. In 2002 and 2003, every year was different. There were more cars on the road, and the low-rise residential buildings in memory were quickly replaced by high-rise buildings. The Internet spread rapidly. Later, the wave of the times did not engulf the two masters and apprentices, but left them behind.

Their lives still haven't changed much. The two of them live their own lives behind closed doors. Master's Nokia has retired honorably and replaced it with a clamshell one. Afterwards, they often complain that the battery is not durable.

'Master, after so many years, your master should be dead. 'Zhou Xiaotian wanted to remind Master about this, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.

They had already left Hanzhou, followed Zhou Muqingyao's hexagrams to Qinzhou, and then turned to Shuzhong, walked through several places, experienced the customs, and gradually learned Nayin Najia from their master, Tibetan Qianwang Failing, came into contact with Liuyao and Qimen.

At the age of 12, when she was about to enter junior high school, Zhou Muqing finally said he couldn't leave and stayed here. I don't know if it was a long time ago, or he suddenly didn't want to move anymore.

It is very troublesome to transfer every time, and the teaching materials are not the same in different places.

Zhou Xiaotian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, now that they were in Yangjiang, her immature body began to twitch, turning into a big girl, and her ambiguous accent had been corrected.

"We settle down here? Master, do you have money?"

"I have a lot of money."

"When I can make money, you don't have to go out and pass on your tricks to me."

Zhou Xiaotian picked up an old piece of cloth with his hands. It was used by Zhou Muqing to set up a stall. It hadn't been changed for so many years and the color had faded, and the edges were a little damaged. This old thing is easier to use than a new one, and it looks old.

Zhou Muqing is packing her old clothes and schoolbags, as well as retired sixth-grade textbooks, which will be mailed to some Hope Projects, and some donations will be attached.

She is not short of money, Zhou Xiaotian's dowry has already been prepared, and the master and apprentice don't have much to spend money on.

"Master, why are you so fragrant?" Zhou Xiaotian put down the cloth and said, rubbing Zhou Muqing's waist.

Zhou Muqing glanced at her, the girl's accent had been corrected a long time ago, most of the time the teacher was acting like a baby, she was too lazy to bother, and continued to organize the things at hand.

Zhou Xiaotian didn't care too much, Zhou Muqing was tall, at least for her now, she used to be able to hug Master's round and well-proportioned thighs and act coquettishly, but now she just grabbed her waist and buried her head in Zhou Muqing's arms inside.

"Get up, annoying spirit." Zhou Muqing waved his hand away.

"Humph."

Zhou Xiaotian helped tidy up the textbooks, "Have you found the junior high school yet?"

"I've taken a fancy to that private school."

"Private high schools cost a lot of money, don't they?"

"I've said it all, Master is rich."

Zhou Muqing said calmly.

Zhou Xiaotian didn't say any more, and went to the side to recite four words alone. The two of them, master and apprentice, depend on each other for life, even more than mother and daughter.

"Where is the innate, where is the day after tomorrow, if you know where you come from, you will know where you are going. The four pillars are arranged, the three talents are divided, the root of the year is the root, and it matches the Yuanchen..."

Zhou Muqing glanced at her, Zhou Xiaotian was already slim at the age of 12, with long hands and long legs, but he was still not fat, and people worried that she would be blown away when the wind was blowing.

After tidying up the old clothes, there are two Taoist robes left, one big and one small. They are not Taoist priests, but they just wore them when walking, which can save a lot of trouble.At the beginning of the century, there were still regulations on temporary residence permits in many places, and it was always inconvenient for a single woman to take care of children.

With the development of the times, living conditions have improved, which also gave Zhou Muqing a lot of convenience. Later, even if she didn’t wear Taoist robes, she would travel around without much inconvenience, and the transportation was much more convenient, but she was still not used to the ever-changing society, so she could only slowly Try to adapt, let Zhou Xiaotian teach her to surf the Internet and use a computer.

"Do you still keep this?" Zhou Muqing asked, Zhou Xiaotian liked this dress very much, but he didn't wear it a few times.

"Keep it, it's very useful for you to wear this to fool people."

Zhou Xiaotian said casually, and went to the side to get a water glass, which contained warm water that Zhou Muqing hung on the air.

The newly rented house is no longer a small courtyard in the old city, but a new house in a high-rise building, with a neat and spacious living room, clean white walls, and a balcony with a clear view. Standing on the balcony, you can see the shopping mall in the distance at a glance.

Zhou Xiaotian likes this house very much, it is much cleaner than the small courtyard, and at night, he goes to the bathroom to take a bath, it smells delicious.

"Want to sleep with me?" Zhou Muqing was sitting on the sofa reading a book and asked when she came out.

"never."

"You used to be clamoring to sleep with me, but now you know how shy?" Zhou Muqing glanced at her.

"It used to be that my room was cold and there was no heating, but now...now..."

Zhou Xiaotian brushed her hair and went to the balcony for a stroll, looking at the lights in the distance, her life is really good now, she suddenly wanted to stay in this moment, living in such a city with Master, this is the happiest she has been in more than ten years At that time, she will not have to travel around anymore, she will settle here with Master.

The light in the living room went out, Zhou Muqing went back to the room to rest, Zhou Xiaotian also went back to his own room, lying on the soft bed, looking at the outline of the curtain in the dark, it was actually better when he was a child, he could run to the master's room without hesitation.

Zhou Xiaotian bit his lip.

Something unspeakable... She found out that she had started to grow hair, and panicked for a while.

She's a big girl and can't sleep with Master anymore.

Girls' thoughts are always so inexplicable and a little sad, although this kind of sadness looks ridiculous in the future.

Zhou Xiaotian fell asleep unknowingly with the sadness of becoming a big girl.

in the next room.

The lights in Zhou Muqing's room hadn't been turned off yet. She stood by the curtain and looked at the night sky outside, wondering what she was thinking.

After a long time, there was a faint sigh.
