"I didn't receive Poma." Unfolding the note, Xiaomei slowly read out the words on it.
Then Ronggui was stunned.
The note was just what they got from Berg.
It was Allen who wrote on the note.
After the day of Kerry's operation, they never saw Alan again. Without Gigi as a transit point, Ronggui found that it was difficult for him to contact Alan.
Then Xiaomei thought of the child who bought the ground beans from them that day.
Xiaomei said that when those children come to buy beans again, you can ask them to see if there is a way to contact Alan.
Coincidentally, those children came on the same day. Before Ronggui could consult with them, they took out a neatly folded note - from Allen.
Allen said that he had successfully left after that day, and he wrote a note just hoping that they would not worry, but now that all Star City is under martial law, people outside are completely unable to enter, and they may not be able to meet in a short time. Maybe he will give up completely. the "business".
When he saw this, Ronggui breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding back, he didn't say anything about Gigi: Gigi's matter is now on the cusp, and it's not suitable to pass it on with a note.
So, in the reply, he only said that he and Xiaomei were very good, and the operation was going to be performed soon. Once the operation was successful, they would go out immediately.
Then... After thinking about it for a while, he asked Xiao Mei to add another sentence:
"Poma is going to be released from prison, it's tomorrow, but I don't know when it will be. If possible, can I pick him up? He has never lived outside at all."
Putting the note written by Xiaomei in her close-fitting pocket, the child bought ten more ground beans, and Xiaomei gave him another eleven as usual, and then the child seemed very happy.
It was on that day that Ronggui learned that the child's name was Berg.
There is money to be paid to deliver the letter, but Berg doesn’t want money, and just hopes that Xiaomei can pay with Didou.
When Ronggui asked him why he wanted so many beans, the child hesitated for a moment, and finally answered him frankly:
"It's too dark in the ventilation ducts. I want to plant ground beans in it and fill all the walls so that it will be brighter."
Xiaomei agreed to his terms, and Ronggui also sent him fertilizer.
Berg looked even happier.
He came here today to send Ellen's reply and to get today's share of the beans.
Then, Ronggui also knew that Allen had not received news from Berg.
"...There is only one entrance and exit. I sent someone to wait for a day, but no one came out." That's what Alan's note said.
"Don't think about it, leave as soon as possible after the operation." Allen wrote a little forcefully. Across the note, Ronggui seemed to see Alan's frown.
but…
Alan went on to say that Ronggui might not be able to find them in their original residence after they came out, because they may have to move in the near future, and the specific place to move has not yet been determined.
"But no matter where we move to, our family will be together, and Sugar Man Street will continue to open. In the future, if you hear someone mention Sugar Man Street, that's where we moved to."
Allen wrote.
He didn't say it clearly, but Ronggui knew that something had to happen, and their family had to be forced to move.
"The escaped donor." Xiaomei's voice suddenly appeared in Rong Gui's mind.
Then Ronggui was like lightning and flint, and figured it all out!
Kerry was robbed back, but the organs that had been cut off were necrotic. Gigi's whereabouts were unknown because of this, and they didn't know where he was locked up. They thought it was over like this, but obviously it didn't!
The prison authorities have started searching for the donor who escaped before!
Ronggui immediately thought of the young boy they met when they came in. Allen was really indifferent to him at that time, but he usually put food in a fixed place and knew that Allen was actually a good-hearted person. , plus the words and phrases that Ma Fan revealed in his heart before, there is no doubt that the donor was taken in by Uncle Allen's family. If there is no later incident, the boy can probably escape right here? Happens—
Xiaomei's quiet blue eyes were reflected in the frightened eyes, Ronggui opened his mouth, and his heart was empty, he felt as if there was nothing left.
After coming here, he has dealt with these few people in total, and now, they...
Unlike the four female dwarves such as Marie Kiki, and Mrs. Zora Hana, although they are all their friends, and although they are separated from each other, Ronggui knows that they are living well and will It's better, in this case, even if he can't communicate, Ronggui's heart is full, and he knows that he will be able to meet each other in the future.
But Alan, Gigi, Kerry, and Perma—
The same is separation, but separation in this case is more like a farewell.
"Are you talking about the weird guy on the five hundred and ninety-ninth floor underground? The door is open but he never goes out, and the weird guy who has so much delicious food in his room but never eats it?" When Gui was in a daze, a young voice suddenly came from beside him.
It was Berg, who was eating the beans next to him. When Xiaomei was reading the letter, Ronggui entertained several children with boiled beans, so he put some salt and seasonings unique to the city of Cicero, but a few children ate them. very fragrant.
Probably because he was eating ground beans, Berg forgot to disguise his voice, so Ronggui heard his real voice.
The person he described was definitely Poma!
Ronggui nodded reflexively.
"Then he didn't get out of prison. Three prison guards took him from the original cell. He should have gone to another cell." Now that the real voice has been exposed, Berg simply stopped pretending and continued to speak in his real voice.
"What? How do you know?" Ronggui's voice trembled slightly.
"Other kids told me." Berg continued: "I heard that he is a good adult, and the children who live near that floor all say that."
"When there's no food, if you knock on his door, you'll always get something to eat."
"Before leaving, he distributed the rest of the food in the house to the children nearby."
"They wanted to watch him get out of jail, but in the end they watched him being taken away by the jailers."
Berg said casually.
As an unusually precocious child, this kind of thing seems to be the norm for him.
"I told them before not to think about atonement and getting out of prison, but they didn't listen because they thought that the weirdo was doing the right thing." In the darkness, Berg continued.
With a heavy cloak covering his head, Ronggui couldn't see his face.
"As long as you are locked up here, you can't get out, and atonement is useless."
"Only the weird guy on the 599th floor has been foolishly making atonement seriously." The weird guy in Berg's mouth was Poma.
"It's too stupid, too naive." He shook his head like an adult, and Berg stopped talking, lowered his head, and continued to eat the beans silently.
Standing blankly on the spot, Ronggui didn't know what to say.
He is obviously a robot, and his eyes are obviously made of ore without temperature, but at this moment, the expression on his face makes people feel like he is crying...
The sad expression was so contagious that Berg finally put down the ground beans in his hands.
"Is that person... your partner?" Berg used the term "partner".
Ronggui nodded sadly, and Xiaomei gently hugged his shoulder.
"Then... let's help you find him, shall we? Find out which floor he is locked on."
Unexpected help came out of Berg's mouth, and Rong Gui raised his head sharply:
"But... it's so big... there are only five of you..."
"It doesn't matter, I will ask other children to come and help, and I will also tell them your address. If anyone wants to join, they will come to find you. The pay... The pay is one bean per person a day, okay?" Berg said at the beginning. He was in good order, but when it came to the final reward, seeing Ronggui's expression on the other side, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed for asking for a reward.
"That... Or half a piece... Everyone is looking for food every day. If there is no food, everyone will have no energy..." Hesitating, Berg began to cut the price automatically.
"No need." It was Xiaomei who stopped him. One hand was still lightly on Ronggui's shoulder. Xiaomei's quiet eyes had turned to them at some point. He looked at each other!
"Please release the news that we are looking for someone. The people we are looking for are not only Pema, but also Jiji. I will draw the appearance of the two people later. Anyone who wants to participate in the search can come here, look at the portraits, and add Get a ground bean from here."
"We can afford it." Although it was only a small thing like ground beans, Xiaomei's way of speaking gave people a strong sense of reliability.
This is probably... "soundingly loud"? Berger thought.
Then he was even happier.
He originally wanted to help Ronggui, and he also knew that the children on the 599th floor were already looking for Poema, so they could help others when they fulfilled their wishes, and by the way, they could also let more The kids are getting full stomachs these days, which is… a good thing!
Jumping three feet high, Berg showed his child's side in front of others for the first time.
However, the other little friends didn't have time to be stunned by his actions, knowing that this incident could make other children come to fill their stomachs, and the other children were also very happy.
"Let's go and spread the news!" The leader shouted, and Berg immediately disappeared with a few friends.
Watching them leave, Xiaomei turned around and saw Ronggui who was still staring at the backs of several children, Xiaomei said softly, "That's great, isn't it?"
Ronggui nodded, but soon, when he saw the two flower pots lying next to him, he was a little worried: "But we probably don't have enough ground beans..."
"Enough, I'll go back now and research a powerful fertilizer."
"That's great! As expected of Xiaomei!" Ronggui relaxed his shoulders with relief: "But, what about me? What can I do?"
Just stay with me - looking at Ronggui who is happy again, Xiaomei didn't speak, but a strange content emerged in her mind.
Shaking his head, he walked towards the studio.
"Come here and help me move things."
Then Ronggui followed him energetically and regrouped, and he began to do his best to "help".
The two little robots worked hard for most of the night. The next morning, the two had to go to Purda's "clinic" with a "charging treasure" attached to each.
That morning, Ronggui's body underwent the first stage of surgery, which was very successful.
