There is a strict time limit on the opening and closing time of the elevator door here. The elevator door closes quickly, and there is no other light source except for the light of the flashlight in Xiaomei's hand.
They were near the elevator now, and the flashlights were all metal.
Metal ceilings, metal walls, and floors made of the same metal.
Looking further forward, the picture is not very clear. There seems to be a long corridor opposite the elevator door.
"Although I haven't been to Star Prison, I've never been to such a low floor... it." Standing beside the two little robots, Alan's low and magnetic voice sounded in the darkness: "It's a bit unexpected."
"This... I... I was also a little bit taken aback..." Clinging tightly on Xiaomei, Ronggui still didn't forget to take Alan's words: "Mrs. Zorah's house is so low..."
"However, it's not surprising when you think about it: Mrs. Zola seems to prefer some very secluded houses, although it looks a little... a little scary because of the dark, but when you turn on the lights, you will find that the room is actually very beautiful." Although Ronggui was slightly shaken because of the floor, when he thought that this was Mrs. Zorah's house, he had the guts to go home again. Not only that, but he couldn't help but started to defend Mrs. Zora.
"Mrs. Zora is a very elegant, very tasteful lady, she has her own style in home furnishing and garden design... "
However, Ronggui was suddenly stunned after saying this: he suddenly remembered that this is a prison, even Mrs. Zora, shouldn't... can't make the prison more romantic, right
Oops! He seems to have accidentally overspoken.
"I found the energy supply station." Just when Ronggui felt a little guilty, Xiaomei's voice sounded in front of him, Ronggui realized that he was dragged by Xiaomei to the wall at some point, and stood on tiptoe, Xiaomei Was trying to lift myself up trying to reach the console.
Ronggui hurriedly hugged Xiaomei by the waist. After Xiaomei successfully reached the console, she only heard a few "pops", and the originally dark space suddenly turned bright.
As they had seen with flashlights before, it was a metal corridor with four sides, and at the end of the corridor was a black carved door.
The door... the key
Ronggui immediately thought of the key in his hand, and he immediately pulled Xiaomei towards the black carved door. Allen followed behind them and looked around without a trace.
What he just said is the truth. The ground is 999 floors below ground. Even for him, it is a legendary floor. He has never been there. If it wasn't for sending Ronggui and the others over this time, he didn't think he could come here. .
The more ruthless prisoners are held, the lower the floor, because the difficulty of escape will become higher and higher. He is also very curious when he thinks of the legends about the lowermost prisons that have been circulating in Star Prison and Hell for a long time.
Although he followed behind the two little robots, he was not satisfied with his pace, but because of his height and long legs, while following Ronggui and the others steadily, he still had enough time to look around.
Surrounded by metal walls that he is familiar with. To be precise, the four walls of all floors in "Hell" are made of metal. This is a special metal, which is extremely strong and cannot be easily destroyed. The strength is different, and the color of the metal also has The difference is that so far, he has seen red, white, blue, purple... and now this is platinum gold that he has never seen before.
and…
Noticing the dark things in the gaps on both sides of the wall, Allen narrowed his eyes.
It's not only him who also noticed such things, but also Xiaomei.
Just as Xiaomei's eyes fell on both sides of the wall, Ronggui had already let go of Xiaomei's hand and walked over voluntarily.
Reaching out, he squatted on the ground and fiddled with those things with his fingers.
Those things are very fragile. If you have a little strength, many of them will become broken. Ronggui reluctantly picks out a relatively complete thing, which looks like a branch and vine...
"It's Snowball Flower!" Ronggui said loudly to Xiaomei.
"Huh?" A name that he had never heard of, but seeing that the two little robots seemed to know something, Alan also bent down.
As soon as he came over, Ronggui shoved the small piece of vine into his hand as if offering a treasure.
Without refusing, Allen pinched the black dead branch with two fingers and looked at it carefully.
It was a plant he had never seen before - he decided.
"You know each other?" Turning his head, he looked at the two little robots.
Ronggui nodded happily: "This is a plant called Snowball Flower, and there is another name called Whispering Grass. It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a pair of lovers who were in love but could not fall in love. They were next to each other but were The feud, the pressure of the elders forced them not to be together, it's okay, they are not allowed to talk or meet, this is really inhuman~"
"It seems to feel the girl's sadness. A plant that she took care of suddenly grew longer and longer. It was originally a very short plant, just an ornamental flower on the table. However, I don't know when it started, when the girl did not When I knew it, its roots had grown in the opposite direction, through the girl's dresser, through the window, through the heavily guarded walls of the two houses, and it actually grew to the boy's sword practice room. When the girl was crying and missing her lover on the dressing table again, the boy suddenly heard the girl's voice, he tried to speak, and the girl actually heard his voice!"
"At first, they thought it was a divine spirit, but later they found out that the credit turned out to be the snowball flowers planted by the girl! Long vines grew, and leaves grew on the roots, and those leaves can actually deliver the sound very well!"
"Later, the part of this plant that originally grew on the ground and bloomed was still called snowball, but the part that was originally a rhizome, but could grow very long and had a sound-transmitting effect was called murmur."
It is rare to have a question that he can answer, so Ronggui explained the flower information he knew in detail.
"On the ground...under the ground...does this plant live in both astral and hell?" Allen listened, but the focus was not on the love story that Ronggui was trying to describe. His focus was very biased on this. in the form of the plant itself.
But what he said also made sense - thinking so in his heart, Ronggui nodded.
So, the hand that originally wanted to be released was retracted, and without throwing away the dead branch in his hand, Allen glanced at the dead branch again, and he looked at Ronggui: "Can you give it to me?"
Ronggui was stunned for a moment, before realizing it later: What Allen said was referring to the dead twigs of Whispering Grass he put in the other's hands.
"Uh... Of course you can, but this is just a dead branch..." Even being used as fertilizer is a little worthless, no matter how you look at it, it has no meaning for collection... Before Ronggui could finish this sentence, Allen had already closed his slender fingers. stand up.
"It's okay, thank you." With a slight smile, he put the dead branches in his pocket and stood up.
Ronggui and Xiaomei also stood up.
"It seems that this should indeed be Mrs. Zora's house. Mrs. Zora likes to grow murmur grass on the fence. She said that this grass grows quickly and doesn't bother you. The leaves are still tight and have a good isolation effect." From time to time, I go to the herbal garden to help. Ronggui doesn't say a lot about the various plants in Mrs. Zola's house.
Xiaomei nodded. Unlike Ronggui, she also helped in the herbal garden. Xiaomei was very familiar with the various plants in Mrs. Zorah's garden. Xiaomei, who was pulled by Ronggui to help, not only knew the name of each plant, but also He knows all their common sense and life habits, but he is not as clear as Ronggui about the gossip legends behind the plants.
But what Ronggui knows, he will know sooner or later, because Ronggui can't help but say it.
=-=
The two little robots walked at the front, Alan was one step behind them, and Da Huang was at the back. No one drove it, it drove itself, and the direction the master was heading was also where it was going.
The traces of dead branches left by the cracks in the wall pointed to the fact that Mrs. Zora once lived here. Realizing this, Ronggui's heart was already settled. When he walked to the black carved door, he poked Poke Xiaomei, handed the key to Xiaomei, he motioned Xiaomei to open the door.
It seems that the two of them have always been in charge of opening and closing the door by Xiaomei, it is just a small detail of life, and it becomes a habit after a long time.
Xiaomei took the key and gently inserted it into the keyhole.
After a "click" sound, with a slight rusty sound, the door opened.
It was dark inside.
Without entering the door immediately, Xiaomei put away the key, first slowly pushed the door open, then he walked in, stood on tiptoe, and groped lightly on the left side, which is where Mrs. Zorah's house used to install the light switch— She often helps Mrs. Zola to fix things, and Xiaomei already knows the little details of Mrs. Zola's life.
Sure enough, at that position, he touched the switch, and if he insisted, the shape of the switch was a little familiar.
Xiaomei tapped the switch lightly, and after a short pause, the lights in the house turned on one by one.
All of them are soft orange-yellow lights, which are the usual lighting colors in Mrs. Zorah's house.
The yellow light illuminated the whole scene in front of the three people—
"Wow!" Ronggui spoke first.
After shouting, he immediately ran towards the house, and jumped into the big sofa with a "Hah" sound.
The dust visible to the naked eye floated out from the blanket. If it was a human body, Ronggui would probably be sneezing a lot at this time. Fortunately, he is a robot now, so he just happily rolled on the sofa while hugging the pillow.
The familiar blanket, the familiar small round table, the familiar rocking chair, the familiar soft sofa... A familiar black-eyed little robot rolls on it.
Xiaomei didn't hold back, raised her feet, and walked towards the sofa, but instead of rolling into the sofa like Ronggui did, he sat directly on the round stool beside the sofa.
↑
It was also his most common seat at Mrs. Zola's house.
Well, everyone should have guessed it by now. The room that Ronggui and the others saw was almost exactly the same as the living room of Mrs. Zora's house in Cicero City.
This kind of identical does not mean that the style and size of the furniture are exactly the same, but the style is the same.
The room in Ronggui's eyes has a strong, Mrs. Zorah's character.
And it was this quality that made the two little robots relax at once.
Ronggui naturally expresses this relaxed state of mind through actions, and Xiaomei... Although she is not as sensitive as Ronggui, but if you look closely, you will know that he is also relaxed a lot.
The cohabitation of Cisiro City with Mrs. Zola and Hana has left a deep imprint on the two little robots.
Before they knew it, the appearance of Mrs. Zola's house became the basic appearance of "home" in their hearts.
"That's right! This is Mrs. Zora's house." Ronggui rubbed the blanket under his face again, and then very enthusiastically, he greeted Alan: "Grandpa Alan don't stand, just sit down~ "
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, the affectionate "Grandpa Allen" in Ronggui's mouth made Allen feel kind. He walked over and found an empty sofa opposite the two little robots. Knowing that there was a lot of dust on it, he sat down. move very carefully.
His body suddenly fell into the soft sofa. He had never sat on something so soft before. Allen moved a bit unaccustomed to it, and finally adjusted to a more comfortable position. Only then did he observe the surroundings curiously but prudently. Come:
It's a... style room he's never seen before.
The living room is very large, and the soft fabric sofas are scattered in the center. There are also handmade blankets that look good in texture. In addition, there are various lamps of different heights next to the sofa, and each lamp has a different shape. , looks very chic.
The chair not far away looked odd (← rocking chair), but it felt so comfortable that he kind of wanted to get one for Dad.
On the opposite side of the sofa, past the two little robots, he saw a rectangular dining table covered with a plaid tablecloth, and even the chairs were covered with the same color cloth. Looking further, behind him was a deep but not so clear space. In the dark corridor, vaguely, he saw a door over there...
He had never seen a house of this style before.
Of course, Allen was just thinking in his own mind and didn't say what he felt. If he told Rong Gui about his detailed feelings, Rong Gui would find an exact reason for his feeling:
The taste of the hostess.
Mrs. Zola's room has a strong feminine softness, a special feeling that only a family with a hostess can have.
Leaving aside the previous life, after being picked up by Uncle Wang, Allen lived in the middle of a group of elders. There were only a few girls in the family who were brought up by a group of men. Living in this environment for a long time, Allen was very concerned about This trait is completely unfamiliar.
However, this did not prevent him from sitting on the soft sofa at the moment, slightly relaxed.
Perhaps, compared to the house, this kind of soft mood is the real, precious gift that Mrs. Zora sent them from the distant city of Cicero.
