Hades girl is by my side

Chapter 164
"Here comes my brother. I haven't seen you for a while."

The person who sells frozen foods like beef and mutton rolls and hot pot meatballs is a short-haired sister in her 30s. She was also the one who gave him potato noodles as a gift because Tang Yupai hadn't bought anything for a long time, but Tang Yu declined.

"No way, I've only been here before."

"Why do I feel like it's been a while? Brother, I'll give you a bag and you can pack it yourself. Sister, it's cheaper for you."

"Okay, thank you."

"Harm, why are you being polite to me?"

Tang Yu stood in front of the transparent freezer, opened the glass door, and handed the small shovel to San Geng.

"Put whatever you want in there."

Beef and mutton rolls are sold separately in boxes, so they are not included in these hot pot meatballs.

This time in the afternoon is when the nearby residents buy groceries and go home to cook, so there are quite a lot of customers in the market.

The lady who sells hot pot ingredients also sells seasonings and the like, so the smell of various spices mixed together came from her shop in the back. Tang Yu couldn't tell what he felt, except that he felt a little pungent.

"Just use tomato as the hot pot base. You don't like spicy food in the middle of the night, right?"

Tang Yu took the beautifully packaged hot pot base and selected it, nodding gently at midnight.

They were like a newlywed couple going out to buy dinner ingredients together, or at least a young couple living together.

While he was using a spatula to select the meatballs he wanted to eat in the middle of the night, Tang Yu was pacing around, casually looking at the vegetable market.

He came here often when he was young. After all, his father would take him here to buy groceries and then go home together.

After so many years, almost nothing has changed here. Some of the vendors have just changed owners, but the places where they should sell those things are still there.

Just like this ethnic community, despite the development and progress of the times, there are even luxury real estate communities worth tens of thousands per square meter in Shencheng City, but Tang Yu still stays where he is, guarding his dilapidated Building No. [-] .

In fact, he could use the entire house to collect rent and buy a better house himself. Judging from his living conditions, at least it should not be a problem for him to change to a larger house.

It's just that if the house is too big, it will feel empty, and it will feel even more lonely when there is no one else at home.

He and San Geng didn't need such a big house. At least until San Geng made suggestions in this regard, Tang Yu would not consider moving to an outside community.

There was a fish stall at the corner next to it. Even though they were a certain distance away, Tang Yu still smelled a strong smell of fish.

There are all kinds of things sold in the vegetable market, so the various flavors are entangled together, which is quite uncomfortable.

The fish seller was chopping hairtail fish with a knife. He was about the same age as Tang Yu. He was wearing black work clothes and looked smart and capable in every move he made.

Tang Yu didn't like eating fish very much, and he didn't express any particular desire to eat it. Even when Tang Yu lived alone before, he had never bought fish to prepare it himself.

So he never talked to the fish shop owner.

"Tang Yu, I've made my choice."

"Okay, I'll go check out."

Tang Yu took a bag of hot pot ingredients selected by the third watch, plus four boxes of beef and mutton rolls, and bought some hot pot dipping sauces and other seasonings, and then went to the opposite shop and handed them to the female boss.

After weighing and paying, Tang Yu carried his things and prepared to continue shopping in the vegetable market with San Geng, and buy some vegetables for hot pot and the like.

When passing by the fish stall, Tang Yu really thought about whether to buy two fish and try cooking them at home.

Just when he raised his eyes and met the young store owner's eyes, Tang Yu's face flashed with excitement before Tang Yu said anything.

"Tang Yu? You are Tang Yu, right?"

"..."

The most embarrassing thing in the world is to be called by the other person's name, and you don't even know who the other person is.

"I'm Li Zhanzhan! You must have forgotten me!"

The man who called himself Li Zhiqing held Tang Yu's shoulders and shook them across the fish stall, his face full of joy.

Even if you have met a man with such a name in your life, even if you have long forgotten his appearance, when he mentions his name, it will awaken your dusty memory...

Tang Yu remembered that this person was his elementary school classmate.

At the same time, Tang Yu also thought of the little boy who had a runny nose and only giggled all day long...

His seat was in front of Tang Yu, and every time he turned to look at him, Tang Yu always felt a headache.

"I haven't forgotten. This stall belongs to your family. I didn't even know it."

"Yes, this place used to be someone else's stall. Later, my family took it over and continued to sell fish here. Do you live near here? Is this your girlfriend next to you? She's so beautiful!"

Li Zhiqing talked non-stop as soon as he opened his mouth. His enthusiasm was still the same as when he was a child, but it was also a headache.

Li Zhiqing transferred to another school in the fourth grade, and so many years had passed, so Tang Yu had very little impression of him.

"Well, I do live near here..."

"Where do you work now and what do you do?"

Faced with Li Parking's question, Tang Yu remained silent for a while, but still responded: "I am now writing novels on a website and I get royalties every month."

"Great writer, I didn't expect that I, Li Parking, would know a great writer! Next time, can you help write me into a character so that I can take it home and show it to my family, hahaha!"

"There is a chance."

Tang Yu responded with a smile. This was the first time he told others about his identity as an author. After all, the income he earned from writing novels was not considered a serious job at all.

"Take two fish back. They are all fresh. I will pack two for you and you can take them away."

"No, no, no, really no need..."

Tang Yu waved his hands repeatedly, but Li Chachi had already helped Tang Yu install it very quickly.

"Then weigh it and see how much it is. I'll give you the money. It's not easy for you to do business..."

"What are you talking about about money? If you give me money, you're slapping me in the face. Take it now."

"..."

Tang Yu usually has no social circle, he is a very dull person, and because of his family experience, he has no friends at all.

He rarely accepts gifts from others, so when he took the fish from Li Zhan, the fish in the black plastic bag seemed very heavy in his hand.

He wanted to secretly use his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, but was stopped by Li Zhiqian with a stern look, so he had no choice but to give up.

Tang Yu said goodbye to Li Zhizi and left the fish stall with San Geng.

"He is a good man."

San Geng said calmly, and Tang Yu nodded aside, agreeing with San Geng's point of view.

And if San Geng says a person is a good person, then he is definitely a good person.

"But unfortunately, just because he is a good person, it doesn't mean he will live a happy life."

"What do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing, isn't Tang Yu the same? Tang Yu didn't do anything bad, but her parents passed away very early. Some things cannot be interfered by human beings. The so-called fate is impermanent, and that's the truth."

Tang Yu was confused by the words of the third watch, but he didn't take it to heart.

After bypassing the road ahead, Tang Yu was going to the vegetable section of the market to buy some vegetables to take home. "That Li Zhishan, his name sounds quite funny. According to him when he was in school, it was probably when his mother was about to give birth to him, so he rushed to the hospital to give birth by car. As soon as the car stopped, he was born, so the name was Stop the car."

Tang Yu said as he turned a corner and came to the vegetable area.

Tang Yu has a fixed stall where he buys vegetables. The boss there has helped him a lot in the past, including peeling sweet potatoes and the like. Generally, vegetable sellers in the north will not help.

"Young man, here you go, let's see what we have to buy today."

The vegetable seller is very enthusiastic. She has a daughter who looks exactly like her.No matter the expression, demeanor, body shape or stance, even the big round glasses on the face are exactly the same.

Tang Yu thought they were the same person before, and the situation was extremely embarrassing.

"Hey, I see you went to the fish seller just now. Do you know that guy?"

Tang Yu forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth and responded with a smile: "That's my elementary school classmate."

"No wonder, that guy is usually very stingy. Although he is never short of money, it is more difficult to get him to make a small fortune than to reach the sky. Isn't this fish like yours a gift from him?"

"..."

Tang Yu felt that the fish in his hand was a little heavier.

"But I can't blame him. I heard that a sister in his family is sick, and the surgery will cost a lot of money. His family doesn't have that much money for treatment, so he can only make a living by selling fish at his stall."

The fish in Tang Yu's hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Do you know what the specific problem is?"

"I don't know that. The fish seller is smiling all day long, and no one dares to ask further. After all, it would be troublesome for anyone to see such a thing at his stall..."

The vegetable seller wrapped her body in a military coat. After all, the temperature in the market was still a bit low.

Tang Yu and San Geng bought some vegetables and set out on their way home.

The setting sun is very sad.

Tang Yu had a black plastic bag in his hand, which contained the fish that Li Zhiqie gave him.

He actually doesn't like eating fish, and he doesn't like it that much either.

Even if they were old acquaintances, there was no need for Li Chachi to do this. After all, they had not contacted each other for many years, and Tang Yu even only remembered Li Chachi's name.

It didn't matter if the fish seller gave away a few fish, but the conditions at home were so bad, Tang Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

"Tang Yu should go back and pay that Li Zhijia."

San Geng on the side saw what Tang Yu was thinking and put forward his own suggestions.

"He won't accept it. Some people's personalities are like this. If you go back and insist on giving money, he will feel sad."

"His sister doesn't live long."

San Geng's tone was as calm as ever. When talking about life and death, no one would be calmer than San Geng.

But this was exactly the result Tang Yu didn't want to hear.

There are too many people in the world who cannot afford to be cured. Many people even spent a lot of money to get cured, and in the end their families were ruined.

That’s why as the saying goes, there are two things people fear most: illness and lack of money.

Hot pot is actually very convenient to eat. Just prepare the pot, put in the hot pot base and water, prepare bowls, chopsticks, ingredients and seasonings, and you can start quickly.

Tang Yu had prepared everything shortly after returning home. The table was quite sumptuous, and the hot pot was steaming with scalding heat. It was bubbling after the pot was boiled.

"Third watch, come to eat hot pot."

Tang Yu shouted towards the living room, who responded in the middle of the night, then got up from the sofa and came to the dining table.

Two people were sitting opposite each other, with a steaming hot pot in the center of the dining table.

Tang Yu looked a little distracted, but still put the ingredients into the pot one by one.

In the middle of the night, Tang Yu turned around and glanced at the kitchen. The black plastic bag was placed on the most conspicuous marble floor in the kitchen.

"These things are easy to cook. You can just put whatever you want to eat in the middle of the night."

"Tang Yu is still thinking about Li Zhiqing. Aren't you not very familiar with it? Besides, there are many people in this world who have suffered misfortune. You lost your parents, isn't it the same?"

"I'm not overflowing with the Holy Mother's heart. I just feel that the kindness that Li Parking has given me is a bit too heavy. Is his sister... really going to die? Is there any way to solve it?"

"Tang Yu was able to come back to life because a trace of the spiritual power left by the King of Hell remained in the Book of Life and Death. If I want to modify the Book of Life and Death, I really can't do it. And death from illness is irreversible, and I can't do it directly. It goes against the natural cycle to cure her, and I don’t have spiritual power now.”

"It doesn't matter. Let's eat first. If you don't think about it anymore, I'll go to the market to buy more fish and take care of his business."

Midnight looked at Tang Yu who had a nonchalant expression on his face, blinked and said nothing.

This hot pot meal was eaten in silence. The deserted atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the scalding hot pot.

After dinner, Tang Yu cleaned the tableware and kitchen utensils, and returned to her room alone.

He sat in front of the computer, turned it on, opened QQ, and entered a QQ number that he no longer uses.

That was the QQ he used initially. The QQ he now uses as an author to contact editors is more for work.

Tang Yu just logged in to his original QQ account just to verify his conjecture.

After that, he successfully found the QQ group established by his classmates in elementary school among those groups that had blocked group messages.

This group should be the only way he can have a common connection with Li Parking so far.

With Li Parking's personality, if it's that guy...

He will definitely send the information he needs help to the group, because he is different from others and believes that someone will help him.

In the eyes of most people, most of those former childhood classmates will disappear in their memories.

The so-called classmates in elementary school, the children's minds at that time were not yet fully developed, so how could they be able to consolidate their friendship and still have it today?

As expected, Tang Yu found the dripping chip link posted by Li Chaotic in that group.

You must know that in the five years of this group, only Li Zhijia posted such a message in the group last month.

[This is my sister, I hope you can help me]

Apart from the link, there is only this sentence.

No one in the group of 48 responded to him.

Tang Yu clicked on the link and took a look. Apart from the text description, what he saw was a girl lying on the hospital bed.

She looks to be in her early 20s, with delicate eyebrows and delicate facial features, which is in sharp contrast to Li Chachi's rough appearance.

It's just that his face is bloodless, and his pale face is trying hard to smile, which makes people feel a little distressed.

"Li Tingzhu... No matter what, it sounds much better than your brother Li Zhiqing's name."

The meaning of Tingtong in Chinese is the rising sun.

Tang Yu doesn't believe that the sun sets as soon as it rises.
