Chapter 13 Farewell

Mia looked at Bai Wei, although she was embarrassed, she could vaguely see a delicate face.

She also saw the scars on the opponent's body and the worn clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She looked at Xu Mo beside her, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"As long as you can take care of the food, it doesn't matter if the salary is lower, as long as you can afford the rent." Bai Wei didn't see Xu Mo before, but now she saw him guessing that the department store might not be short of people, she lowered her head slightly, her voice carrying a few In the meaning of praying, she has already gone to several houses.

Seeing Bai Wei's lost look, Mia couldn't bear to refuse, and asked softly: "What's the matter with your injury, do you want to see a doctor?"

"No, it's fine." Bai Wei lowered her head, said nothing more, and bowed slightly to Mia: "Excuse me."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave, so he had to try another place. When he turned around and walked, he limped, as if his leg was also injured.

"Can you cook?" Mia couldn't bear to ask.

Bai Wei turned around, her eyes lit up, and she nodded, "En."

"Then you can stay, but the things to do may be complicated. I have to ask my father about the salary." Mia said with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Wei said gratefully.

"Come in, sit down and talk." Mia got up and walked forward, stretched out her hand and said, "My name is Mia, how about you?"

"Bai Wei."

Seeing Mia walking in with Bai Wei supported by Mia, Xu Mo couldn't help feeling a little headache, and didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Xu Mo, this is his sister Yao'er, both my friends." Mia introduced to Bai Wei.

"Hello." Bai Wei nodded to Xu Mo.

"Hi Miss Bai, I'm also a hired worker here." Xu Mo smiled slightly. Bai Wei felt familiar when she heard Xu Mo's voice. It seemed a bit like the "hunter" who rescued him, but the voice of the "hunter" was deeper It was colder, but Xu Mo's voice still had a youthful air.

Without thinking too much, Bai Wei naturally didn't think that the fifteen-year-old Xu Mo would be the 'hunter' who was able to handle well in casinos and fighting arenas.

"Mia, why are you still recruiting people?" Master Batu came from upstairs, heard the voice Bai Wei stood up, and saw Master Batu looking at her.

"Dad." Mia stepped forward, put her arms around Master Batu's arm, and said with a smile: "Xu Mo and Yao'er are here, and I'm doing a lot of cooking and doing laundry by myself now, look more Tired, it happens that Bai Wei can help me."

"My precious daughter, our small shop can't afford to support so many people." Master Batu lost his temper when he saw Mia acting like a baby.

"Dad..." Mia shook his arm, and Master Batu said helplessly, "It's okay, but I can't pay much."

Bai Wei felt a little uncomfortable seeing this scene, not because of the 'salary', but seeing Master Batu and Mia think of her father.

"Master Batu, Yao'er and I have been bothering you and Miss Mia here, and we haven't done much, so we don't have to pay my salary in the future." Xu Mo said to Master Batu, since Mia has agreed to stay Bai Wei, then he would try to get out of his body and let Bai Wei treat him, so he could have more time to practice breathing.

"No." Mia said.

"Since Xu Mo is so sensible, let him do less things in the future, let her share the burden." Batu said bluntly.

"En." Xu Mo nodded, looked at Bai Wei and said, "Sister Bai Wei will have to work hard in the future."

"It's okay, I can do everything." Bai Wei is naturally willing to do more things, so as to be more stable.

Master Batu promised to pay Bai Wei 50 federal currency per month and take care of the meals, so Bai Wei also settled down in the department store. After that, Mia personally treated Bai Wei's wounds with medicine.

…………

At night, after the artificial lights in the underground world were extinguished, the department stores were also closed, and Xu Mo and his party ate on the roof.

"Sister Bai Wei, eat more." Mia stuffed a piece of bread into Bai Wei's dinner plate, and she knew what happened to her from Bai Wei's mouth.

"Thank you Miss Mia." Bai Wei said.

"Sister Baiwei, you said that the person who rescued you sent you to this area, so is he also nearby and will protect you?" Mia asked.

Bai Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Recalling everything that happened today, she understands that the hunter is different from other people in the black market, will he find herself again?

Xu Mo sat opposite and ate quietly holding Yao'er.

"Sister Bai Wei, it just so happens that I'm bored by myself at night, can you stay with me?" Mia smiled and said to Bai Wei, Bai Wei was stunned, and saw that the smile in Mia's eyes was very sincere.

"Hmm." Master Batu coughed and said, "Xu Mo, it's not safe for Bai Wei to go alone, so why don't you give it away later?"

Xu Mo looked up at Master Batu, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Wei was a little flustered when she heard Master Batu's words, she lowered her head slightly, and said after finishing the bread, "I'm full, then I'll go back first."

"Sister Baiwei, I'll see you off." Xu Mo also stood up.

"En." Bai Wei stood up and said, "Master Batu, Miss Mia, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Mia got up and said.

"Go to sister Mia." Xu Mo carried Yao'er down and handed it to Mia, while he himself took Bai Wei downstairs.

As soon as they left, Mia felt aggrieved and said, "I'm full too."

"Are you angry?" Master Batu looked at Mia and said.

"Dad, don't we still have a room in our house, so we can't let sister Bai Wei live here?" Mia looked up at her father and said.

"Last time it was Xu Mo, this time it was her, what about next time?" Master Batu looked at Mia and said, "Mia, Dad runs a department store."

Mia lowered her head slightly. She understood many things, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Master Batu glanced at his daughter, sighed inwardly, then tore the bread into pieces and fed it to Yao'er, saying, "Yao'er eat."

"Thank you, Master Batu." Yao'er laughed childishly.

"Good boy." Master Batu pinched Yao'er's face with his big hands, and then got up to leave, his obese body seemed a little staggering.

How can he protect so many people, he can only protect his own daughter, no matter how pitiful other people are, they are also strangers to him.

What's more, that was just Bai Wei's one-sided words. Compared with Xu Mo's understanding, Bai Wei and the others were completely unfamiliar.

Xu Mo downstairs heard the conversation between the father and daughter, so he could naturally understand Master Batu. He didn't expect that Bai Wei would just find the department store. Master Batu had already taken a risk by taking him and Yaoer. He also arranged a job for Bai Wei, as he said, he opened a department store... not a shelter!

The place where Bai Wei rented is not far away, he is familiar with this area, so he asked Bai Wei to come to this area before.

Walking to the opposite side of the street, turn right not far away, and turned a few times in the alley, and came to the place where Bai Wei rented. The lights here are dim, there are garbage everywhere, and you can even smell the rancid smell of the sewer. The first floor is older and not much better than where 'he' used to live.

"Xu Mo, I live on the third floor, can you take me up?" The lights in the corridor were dim, and Bai Wei was a little scared by herself.

"Okay." Xu Mo nodded and took the lead to lead the way.

Reaching the third floor, Bai Wei opened the door and turned on the light, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Mo at the door and said, "Thank you Xu Mo, you are so brave, be careful on the way back."

Xu Mo felt a little weird when he heard the compliment from the other party, but Bai Wei was several years older than him, so it was normal to treat him as a fifteen-year-old boy.

If Bai Wei knew that the boy who sent her was a hunter, she didn't know what she would think.

"Alright Sister Bai Wei, see you tomorrow." Xu Mo waved with a smile.

"See you tomorrow." Bai Wei nodded, and she closed the door after seeing Xu Mo turn around and go downstairs.

Xu Mo sensed that after Bai Wei closed the door, she moved a table to block the door of the room, and then sat on the ground directly leaning on the table, curled up there alone and began to cry, she put her head on her knees, not letting herself cry Make a sound.

Xu Mo walked on the street, sighing secretly in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable along the way, the underground world was far more depressing than he imagined.

When he returned to the department store, he heard the sound of musical instruments from the roof, as well as Mia's soft singing.

Walking to the top of the building, I saw Mia sitting on a chair and playing the instrument. The instrument was a bit like the guitar in the previous life, but the sound quality was better. Yao'er sat next to her obediently, as if she could understand it.

The music and singing are very sad, like Mia's heartfelt voice, which made Xu Mo doubt his understanding of Mia. He always thought that Mia was kind, sunny, and optimistic. Now it seems that he may be wrong.

People who love to laugh are not necessarily happy in their hearts, and kind people may have a more fragile heart, and they are more likely to be sentimental.

"Xu Mo, when did you come back?" Mia noticed Xu Mo stop.

"I just came back, and I was a little fascinated by Miss Mia's singing." Xu Mo said.

"Is Miss Bai Wei okay?" Mia asked worriedly.

"Very good, I sent her into the room before leaving." Xu Mo said.

"En." Mia nodded reassuringly.

"Is Miss Mia unhappy?" Xu Mo asked as he sat down on the chair next to him.

"Xu Mo, what kind of world do you think this is?" Mia asked suspiciously, Xu Mo was momentarily at a loss for words.

"No one cares about your affairs. The law enforcement team has not given an explanation until now. What happened to Sister Bai Wei, they bought and sold 'people' at will, and she is also the biological father. I know that there are many such things in the underground world. "Mia felt a little uncomfortable as she spoke, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. Seeing that Xu Mo didn't speak, she said again: "Xu Mo, I'm sorry."

She didn't want to mention Xu Mo's matter, but it was really uncomfortable to press it in her heart.

It turned out that she had always remembered about Xu Mo, but she didn't dare to mention it.

"It's okay." Xu Mo smiled and shook his head. Although there are dark sides in this world, there are also many lights, such as Mia, Master Batu, and Artest.

"Xu Mo, what will the world above be like?" Mia asked suddenly.

"I don't know either." Xu Mo shook his head.

"I saw in the book that the sun, the grassland, the mountains, and the sea are mentioned. What is that like? Are these real?" Mia looked up at the top of her head, with a bit of longing.

"Maybe." Xu Mo didn't know, but he had experienced it before.

Mia smiled and said: "And who created those wonderful music, I really want to go to the world above to see."

"It's definitely possible." Xu Mo sat beside Mia, holding Yao'er, and said softly: "I have heard a piece of music, but I can only hum it. Can Miss Mia play it with an instrument?"

"I'll try." Although Mia felt a little strange, she nodded.

"En." Xu Mo replied, and finally hummed softly.

This is one of his favorite pure music in the past, and he has listened to it many times.

In just a moment, Mia's beautiful eyes showed a brilliance, such beautiful music.

A ray of excitement appeared on her face, but she didn't disturb Xu Mo, she closed her eyes and listened quietly.

When Xu Mo finished humming, Mia seemed to be still immersed in it, nodding her head constantly, as if humming softly in her mind.

"It's so beautiful, this is the most beautiful music I've ever heard." Mia said in surprise, "Xu Mo, where did you hear it? What's its name?"

"I forgot where I heard it, but I remember the name, Windy Hill (Windy Hill, everyone can listen to it)." Xu Mo shook his head: "Miss Mia, can you play it?"

"Then you have to teach me a few more times." Mia said.

"Okay." Xu Mo nodded, and the two repeated it again and again. Mia also tried many times, and it took a long time before he knew it.

"It should be fine." Mia said softly.

"En." Xu Mo nodded.

Mia closed her eyes and started to play. An extremely beautiful piece of music came out in the dark night. Xu Mo closed her eyes, with a smile and sadness appearing on her face from time to time.

He recalled his past, the mountains he had climbed, the huge waves he had conquered, the sky he had soared, the road he had traveled, the dreams he had chased, and those happy, beautiful and thrilling times.

His family, his lover, his partner, his extreme career, everything is gone with the wind and gone forever, the kind of heartache, the sadness engraved in his heart, only he can understand.

Mia was also immersed in the music. When the song ended, there were tears on her face, but she was smiling when she opened her eyes.

"Xu Mo, I saw it, I saw the world above, it's so beautiful."

Mia's voice is a bit heartbreaking: "Such beautiful music, why am I so sad."

"Because it's the sadness that comes from the depths of my heart." Xu Mo opened his eyes and sighed in his heart, and looked down at the sleeping girl lying in his arms. Xu Mo thought to himself, we have to bid farewell to the past!
