Many people in Uncle Wang's family wanted to follow him, but Allen didn't agree.
"You can go with me when you're older." That's how he sent the others away.
Look at Alan, who is stable but young and handsome, and look at Aaron's second brother, third brother, eldest nephew, eldest grandson, who is lively but more mature.
Honor: =-=
"Okay, alright, your grandfather went out to do business. Besides, the place is not abundant. With this skill... Second child, bring two down jackets for Agui and the others." In the end, it was Uncle Wang who came out and interrupted Alan. Standoff with other relatives.
Uncle Wang's second son could only turn around and go back to the house. Not long after, he took out two thick down jackets. He also had one in his hand, which he handed to Allen.
"It's very cold in that place. We are a genuine down jacket. The down inside is all filled with real chicken feathers." Seeing Rong Gui holding the down jacket a little puzzled, Uncle Wang explained a few more words.
Ronggui immediately thought of the ice and snow belt he passed through before.
"The planet we live in is considered to have a relatively pleasant climate. It was originally built to develop a habitable planet in this place. Unfortunately, there are so many bugs, which is cheap for our home." Because Rhubarb can drive itself, so everyone in the car has nothing to do, just chat.
Alan didn't talk much when he was at home, but when there were only three of them, he played the elder's demeanor and started talking to Ronggui and the others.
He was a little curious about Rhubarb, which could drive automatically. When he learned that the car was completely designed and made by Xiaomei, he gave Xiaomei an admiring look.
When he learned that most of the decorations on the car were designed by Ronggui and still made by Xiaomei, he... He glanced at Xiaomei again with some encouragement.
"You have to put on your jackets when you leave the Star Road. Although I don't know how cold-resistant your body is now, it is really cold outside, and it will get colder and colder." Allen continued.
"It's getting colder? Will the temperature drop to minus seventy degrees?" Put on the down jacket carefully, and let Xiaomei adjust the oversized down jacket for herself, and then help Xiaomei to adjust it. Everything is done, Rong Guicai Time to ask Alan questions.
Before leaving, Allen suggested that the two robots use his cart, but Ronggui was reluctant to bear rhubarb. It was not until Xiaomei insisted that rhubarb could drive safely in an environment of minus seventy degrees, Allen gave up the proposal.
"Seventy degrees isn't enough, but the average is minus fifty-five degrees." Allen said: "Even me, if I don't wear a down jacket, it's hard to handle it."
Allen said, and put on the down jacket. The down jacket that was too big for Ronggui and Xiaomei looked just right on Alan. He took a small bottle from the pocket of the down jacket and took a sip.
Seeing Ronggui looking at him carefully, Alan smiled: "It's spirits."
It was just right for Alan to get dressed and drink. As soon as he finished speaking, snow fell in the sky outside.
The Sugarman Street with red lanterns is like a beautiful dream in the ice and snow. In a blink of an eye, they woke up from the dream.
Large pieces of ice crystals quickly formed on the glass outside the rhubarb.
Xiaomei pressed a button on the console, and a transparent baffle rose from the inside of the big yellow window glass.
"This thing is good." Allen praised immediately.
Ronggui smiled: "When you were loading the goods, Xiaomei temporarily modified it. Because there was a surplus of materials, he also installed a set of ash for your family by the way."
"I also added a heating core to Uncle Wang's walking stick. The uncle said that sometimes it's cold in your place, and his hands will be cold..."
"That's really... Thank you so much." After taking a deep look at the two little robots, Allen expressed his sincere thanks this time.
Ronggui thinks it is the latter that he is really grateful for.
Compared to the window heating plate that made him feel more comfortable delivering in the snow, the heating core installed in Uncle Wang's walking stick was what really made him feel grateful.
No way, Allen is a filial man - Ronggui has discovered it long ago.
"But... it's really cold here." He put his hands on the window and looked out. Da Huang turned on the headlights at the right time, which allowed Ronggui to see the vast white snow outside.
Only snow, nothing else to see.
They couldn't see the road either, and if it wasn't for the navigation panel on Rhubarb's body showing that they were still on the right path, Ronggui would have gotten lost.
"Of course it's cold. Xingcheng is actually a prison star. Its function is to detain prisoners. Naturally, they will not make these prisoners feel better."
"Cold and heavy snow are the means to trap prisoners. This is to prevent prisoners from escaping." Allen said.
"Huh?" Rong Gui looked at him blankly.
"The temperature near the prison is as low as -65 degrees on average. Most of the prisoners who escaped from the prison couldn't even escape this low temperature circle, so they fainted." Allen said, and paused for a moment: "But more People are frozen to death."
"Only a very small group of people can escape further, but there are no supplies on the road, waiting for their end is basically exhausted and starved to death."
This topic is a bit heavy, Ronggui's mouth opened, but he didn't answer in the end.
Xiaomei did not speak from the beginning to the end.
Rhubarb was in such a calm posture, and when he drove forward at a constant speed for about two hours, Allen suddenly said, "Can Rhubarb stop for a while?"
Although he didn't understand what he was going to do, Ronggui asked Da Huang to stop.
Then Alan pulled his hat over his head, shoved the frozen door open, and got out of the car.
Although he didn't understand what he was doing when he got out of the car, Ronggui sat in the car and thought for a while, and then jumped off. Not long after Ronggui got out of the car, Xiaomei also jumped out of the car clutching an umbrella.
After jumping out of the car, Xiaomei also carefully closed the door.
Just under their seat, the khaki little yellow chicken pulled its head outward. The rhubarb car body has a self-heating system, and the bottom of the car is especially warm. The little guy hid here all the way to keep warm.
By the way, I forgot to mention that when Ronggui and the others were on their way, this chicken followed.
Between Sugar Man Street, which may be eaten at any time, and Ronggui, which does not eat insects at all, and does not compete with it, it decisively chose Ronggui~
Standing on the seat of Ronggui and looking out, after watching it for a while, it probably felt cold again, and it huddled up on the seat and shrunk.
And outside the window-
Xiaomei held up an umbrella. Although it was an umbrella, it was good for heavy snow. Standing under the umbrella with Xiaomei, Ronggui watched Alan straddling the thick layer of snow, struggling to walk to Da Huang's left.
The snow was so heavy that Ronggui couldn't see anything at first, and it wasn't until they got a little closer that Ronggui noticed a lonely lamppost there.
bad.
Could it be... Did Alan come here specially to change the light bulb
Tilt his head, Ronggui thought wildly.
Allen really stopped in front of the lamp post, and took out a package from the pocket of his down jacket.
"What is this?" Ronggui asked behind Alan.
"It's worm meat, and a small bottle of spirits." Allen answered him without any shyness.
"Hey? Allen, you put the food here... What's the meaning?" In the icy and snowy environment, Ronggui really couldn't guess the meaning of Allen's action.
In the heavy snow, Alan seemed to smile slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ronggui heard Alan's voice: "There is a legend in the prison in Xingcheng, it is said that if you escape from the prison, when you see the red lamppost, it will prove that you are about to leave the coldest area, and also It means that you have officially left the sphere of influence of Star City."
"?" Rong Gui continued to tilt his head.
Alan stretched out his hand and rubbed it hard on the lamp post in front of him until the mottled post below was exposed—
Red!
Ronggui leaned closer in surprise.
"In this area where there is only snow and severe cold, if people see the lamppost, they will come over and rub the lamppost like me to see the color of the column."
"So, if you have to say it, under the lamppost is the only place people will stay here, and it's what everyone will try to find."
"I'll put some food here so that if someone escapes here, they might be able to last a while longer."
"It's so cold here that the food quickly becomes hard enough to be completely inedible, so I refill it every time I come over."
Allen explained this way, and Ronggui finally fully understood.
However-
When he understood the reason why Alan put food here, another question popped up in Ronggui's mind and opened his mouth, but he finally did not let the question come out, that is:
why? Ellen, why are you so familiar with Star City? Even the legends that circulate among the people inside the prison know...
Just as Ronggui fell into contemplation, Allen began to open the snowdrifts and put food underneath.
However, as he clawed, his movements suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ronggui hurriedly asked him, clearly aware of the pause in his movements.
“… the food I put here before is gone.”
"and also-"
Allen said, and suddenly stood up.
He didn't stand up alone, he was holding something in his other hand.
When he looked carefully at the thing in Allen's hand and saw what it was, Ronggui took a deep breath:
good guy! That's one person!
