"It's done!" Qin Minghui raised the sun hat made of long grass stems in her hand and held it up to the sun. The tiny spots of light could still shine through the gaps onto her face.
When she was resting her brain, she would think about doing some manual work, mainly to make her life more enriching.
Even in this situation, Qin Minghui is still willing to do something that may be useless but will make her happier.
That's what life is like. If you think about whether everything you do is useful, it will be hard to be happy.
The hat she made didn't look very good. Qin Minghui looked at it and felt it was too monotonous, so she decorated it with a few red and yellow leaves and a bunch of small flowers. It looked much better now.
Putting the hat with the scent of grass on her head, Qin Minghui said to 01 who was squatting next to her, "01, look."
[Little lady, you look good.]
Qin Minghui covered her face and laughed, "01, you are getting better and better at talking~"
She kept wearing the hat until the evening, when the sun disappeared, and then she took it off and asked 01 to hold it for her. 01 held the small hat on one finger, and used the other finger to help the little lady make dinner.
The Qin family’s meal today: a poor little pheasant that was frightened by the noise of 01’s walking and ran away madly and bumped into 01, peppers grown on the balcony, and some plants that Qin Minghui saw on the roadside and picked up casually to use as seasoning.
While massaging the dead chicken with rare and natural seasonings, Qin Minghui closed her eyes, as if she was praying to the clan god in the Qin family's old house, very seriously. She believed that treating food with piety would improve the taste of the food psychologically.
"Pork, lobster, beef, potatoes, tomatoes..." she murmured softly, feeling her mouth watering and her appetite suddenly coming back.
In the past, Qin Minghui seldom cooked. She was only good at making Western desserts, but that was with the help of all the ingredients and modern tools. Now, she has initially mastered the key points of roasting meat, and the taste of the food she makes has changed dramatically.
01's fire control is getting better and better.
After preparing today's lunch, 01 came to ask her how she felt, like a chef from a high-end restaurant.
[Miss, 01Have you mastered the heat for today?]
Qin Minghui praised him: "Not bad, very good, five-star praise."
This conversation pattern was created by Qin Minghui. One day she felt that the food was too monotonous, so she had to entertain herself. She pretended to be eating in a restaurant. She used a big plate, put the little remaining meat on it, and added two leaves and the last two wild strawberries, and had her meal.
01 acted out a play with her, and I didn’t know how he understood it, but such conversations happened frequently afterwards.
Saw her a branch and say to her:
[Miss, please leave a comment on 01's service.]
Bring her water to irrigate the vegetable garden, and ask her:
[Miss, are you satisfied with the water today?]
Qin Minghui: “…” I always feel like 01 seems to have learned something weird.
However, she always cooperated with him and continued the conversation.
Moreover, once Qin Minghui expressed dissatisfaction, 01, which focuses on "customer" experience and feedback, will really continue to improve.
Qin Minghui couldn't help asking him several times: "Is your learning module really not turned on?"
What we get, of course, is no definitive conclusion.
He was obviously learning.
After turning on the shield function for 01 during the thunderstorm that day, Qin Minghui began to study turning on the flight function for him... Or maybe it shouldn't be called the flight function. If it works, 01 will be able to shoot out like a rocket launcher, so it should be called the launch function. It's cool just to think about it.
But this is much more difficult than a single protective shield function, and Qin Minghui is still working hard to overcome this problem.
As for the 01 learning emotional template that she wanted to solve the most, she had no idea at all.
As the only user of 01, she did not have the authority to unlock it, and could not even call up the relevant interface. She had no idea where to start, so she could only think about enabling other functions for 01.
"Maybe I should turn on the automatic cleaning function for you." Qin Minghui said after finding bird droppings on 01 again.
This is really unavoidable. 01 is so big that it will scare away many birds whenever it passes by the forest. When those flocks of birds fly past 01, some impolite ones will openly leave traces of "I've been here" on 01.
Moreover, ever since she planted wild strawberries and some other fruit-bearing plants on 01's head, 01 has become more attractive to birds. It's okay when he's walking, but once he stays in one place for a long time, a flock of birds will surround his head.
These birds come and bring their feces specialties with them.
01After being on the mountain top for so long, his body had many signs of weathering and dirt on it.
Every day when Qin Minghui went to water the vegetable garden above 01's head, she would wash away any white marks she saw. She also wanted to give 01 a full body cleanse, but the project was too huge.
Qin Minghui is a person who likes cleanliness. No matter how difficult the conditions are, she has to wash and scrub herself every day to make herself clean and fresh. Seeing 01 like this, 01 himself is not uncomfortable, but she is uncomfortable and scratching her heart.
If I had known this, I would not have opened the protective cover the last time it rained heavily - I was worried about lightning.
Finally, 01 solved the problem himself.
As they walked, they had to cross a river. The river was extremely deep. When 01 fell into the river, only his head was exposed above the water.
Qin Minghui brought out the simple parasol she had made, set up the venue above 01, and had afternoon tea in the center of the river.
Before entering the water, she tied thick moss on 01's palms so that he could clean himself in the river. This was a big project, 01's hands were so big, and she was very meticulous. She tied so much thick moss, weeds and vines, and was so tired that she almost fell asleep while drinking afternoon tea.
One day when crossing the river, Qin Minghui met a living human being after a long time.
She hadn't seen a living person for a long time before this, and she didn't react when she heard the scream. She poked her head out from 01's chest to look, and 01 said to her:
[Miss, there is a human ahead.]
"Ahh... It's a monster! A huge... Ahh ...
The screaming voice was dry and hoarse, like the voice of an old man. Qin Minghui looked down and saw a thin and hunched figure running slowly not far in front of 01. Because he was in too much of a hurry, he accidentally fell to the ground, and the dry firewood in his arms scattered all over the ground.
Qin Minghui came to the ground and helped the shivering old man up, and finally managed to calm him down.
The old man was hard of hearing, so it was very difficult for them to communicate. Qin Minghui had to shout to talk to him.
"He's made of machines. Machines, you know what? He doesn't eat people!"
"Ah? Eating people? Oh, not eating people... Not eating people is good, not eating people is good."
Although he explained it, when 01 followed them and walked forward, the old man was still shaking with the support of Qin Minghui, and he held the firewood in his arms tightly. Qin Minghui wanted to help him take it, but she couldn't get it away.
The old man lived in a narrow, dark mud house nearby, next to which were several cultivated fields with lush crops growing on them. It was obvious that the old man had lived here for a long time.
"My wife and I have lived here together for decades, just the two of us." Seeing Tiegeda squatting motionless, the old man was not so scared anymore and took the initiative to tell Qin Minghui about his situation.
Qin Minghui saw him put the firewood in his arms on a pile of firewood outside the house, and asked curiously: "Uncle, why are you piling the firewood here like this?"
"My wife passed away last night." The old man trembled as he arranged the firewood. "I have to burn her."
If a person is infected with schistosomiasis during life, he or she will turn into a monster blood-sucking worm after death. If a person is not infected during life, he or she may be infected after death and turn into that kind of blood-sucking worm. Therefore, people are accustomed to disposing of corpses, and the most common way is to burn them into ashes.
Qin Minghui watched the old man go into the house and carry out a person who was even thinner than him. The skinny old lady closed her eyes tightly, and her exposed skin was full of wrinkles, like a dead and shriveled old tree root.
The old man placed the old lady in his arms on the firewood pile, smoothed her hair with his calloused hands, and pulled her clothes.
He lit the fire and sat there, panting, watching the smoke rise and the flames come out from the corners of the old lady's clothes.
Suddenly, a little bit of light leaked out from his cloudy and lifeless eyes and was squeezed into the wrinkles on his face.
"We are both lucky. We have lived here for many years and have not been infected with any disease." The old man seemed to want to relieve something by talking. He muttered while looking at the flames, not caring whether Qin Minghui could hear him clearly or not.
"When she passed away, I could still help her cremate her body and clean up... Now, I'm all alone. If I die, no one will take care of my body."
"She laughed at me the day before yesterday, saying that I couldn't walk as steadily as she did."
The corpse was difficult to burn cleanly and it took a long time to burn until dark. The old man added firewood several times.
Qin Minghui didn't know why she didn't leave. She just sat there and watched the fire for a long time. Her heart was filled with unspeakable emotions.
01 also squatted beside her, motionless, and the orange flames shone on his body, jumping continuously.
In the second half of the night, the old man became tired and gradually stopped talking. He drooped there as if he had fallen asleep.
[Little Miss.]
[Um?]
[The human's vital signs disappear.]
Qin Minghui was reminded by 01, and it took her a while to realize that 01 was saying that the old man was dead.
She turned her head and looked over there in a daze, her eyes suddenly turning red.
The flames had not yet gone out and the old lady's body had not yet been completely burned, but Qin Minghui put the old man's body into the fire.
[01, you burned them together.]
[Yes, little miss.]
01 burned the body and the remaining firewood to ashes in an instant. He did not quite understand the meaning of death, and asked as usual:
[Miss, is the flame temperature okay this time?]
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, he saw the little lady covering her eyes and crying.
01 didn't quite understand why the little lady suddenly started crying. He only knew that the little lady didn't answer, she kept crying, and the louder she cried, 01 was a little scared.
Click--
01 He lowered his head and put his huge head in front of Qin Minghui. When she let go of her hand, she was frightened by the round eyes that were so close to her that she hiccupped and could not cry anymore.
[Little Miss, why are you crying?]
"I don't know either. I just feel sad." Qin Minghui covered her cheek. "Two people are together. If one of them leaves first, what will happen to the one who stays behind? It makes me sad just thinking about it."
01 reacted for a moment and said to her:
[Miss, if you die, 01 will preserve your body.]
