"I slept so well! I haven't had such a good night's sleep for a long time~" When he woke up again, Ronggui felt very energetic. He shared his feelings with Xiaomei and praised Xiaomei's bed quilt. : "Your bed is so sleepy."
Xiaomei: …
"Actually, you just turned off the battery. You feel full of energy because I have charged you well."
All the feelings and comforts before Ronggui disappeared in an instant without a trace.
"Thank you, thank you." Murmuring, Rong Gui thanked him.
"You're welcome."
After saying this, Xiaomei didn't move again.
Xiaomei, who was motionless, looked like a real robot. The whole room is only the movement of its own, to be honest, this kind of quiet is a bit scary...
Thinking about it, Ronggui jumped off the bed, pushed open the dilapidated window and looked out, it was as dark as indoors and outdoors, without any light.
"Xiao, Xiaomei, I wanted to ask for a long time: why is it so dark here? There is no moon or stars..."
It is understandable to be so dark in the tunnel, but when it comes out it is still so dark, it feels very strange.
"Because this is underground, or the lowest underground, this is where I was born." Ronggui was stunned when Xiaomei's answer came out.
He looked at the sky, and then at the ground. After a closer look, he could see that Xiaomei was right, but he had never thought about it in this direction.
Well, even if Xiaomei's hometown is like this... The altitude is low, but what about people? What about the people who used to live here
"What about the people who lived here before?" Ronggui asked immediately, "Where are your clansmen?"
Ronggui soon realized that he seemed to be asking a terrible question.
"It's all gone." Xiaomei answered him flatly with a metallic tone.
"Yes... are they all dead?"
"When I was in a coma, they left as a group. When I woke up, I was the only one left in the whole village."
Xiaomei's metallic sound has not fluctuated, but Ronggui made up a very bleak scene.
He rushed over and hugged the strong (?) Xiaomei in front of him. He patted the other person's back hard: "It's all gone, at least... They're gone, this huge homestead will be yours."
"Xiaomei, you are the landlord!" Ronggui said, slapping Xiaomei on the back until there was a thud.
Xiaomei: "You patted my back off."
Honorable Mention: …
Rong Gui looked at Xiaomei and turned her head 180 degrees, picked up the metal cover on her back that she had slapped off, tapped it, and pressed the rusty metal cover back on her body again.
His movements are already very skilled.
—
Two robots are walking on the ridge.
"Come out for a walk" - this is Ronggui's suggestion. Of course, he didn't say that in his original words. He suggested that Xiaomei come out and "inspect the ancestral property" and relax.
Xiaomei did not object.
However, when he went out to see the dry and cracked land and the farmhouse with no farm tools left, Ronggui felt a little sad.
Thinking of the empty warehouse he had seen when he "visited" his neighbor's house before, he knew that Xiaomei's clan must have cleaned up all their belongings before leaving, all farm tools, all seeds, all food, something that can be used...
Only did not bring Xiaomei.
"Don't go for a walk, it's too windy, I... I feel like I'm about to be blown to pieces." He always felt desolate as he walked, and when he regretted that he had made a bad idea, Ronggui finally thought of a way to end the walk. reason.
Xiaomei looked at him and nodded after a while: "Go back, I just have the materials I collected before, I'll go back and re-modify your body."
They went back to their original room, and when Xiaomei was beating and beating, Ronggui quietly accompanied him by the side. However, Rong Gui was born to be restless, so it would be fine to let him sit for a while, but after a long time he would start to squeak and shake, Xiaomei was probably annoyed by his shaking, so she simply said to him: Keep your two arms and go around the house."
Ronggui happily agreed.
The armless little robot scurried around the room dexterously.
Xiaomei's house was all that big, and he quickly finished it until he found a secret room under the kitchen.
It is said to be a secret room, but it is actually just a cellar.
"Xiaomei, can I go to your cellar?" He loved to move since he was a child. After being taught a few times by the dean, Ronggui remembered to ask before running around.
"Go, but the cellar is empty, I didn't put anything in it." Xiaomei let him go.
"I'll take a look." With permission, Ronggui immediately opened the cellar and went down.
As soon as he left, the room was suddenly quiet.
Quiet... just like the old days.
Whether it was in the white world of eternal day, or the days he spent here long, long ago, there always seemed to be dead silence around him.
Holding Ronggui's robotic arm in her hand, Xiaomei raised her head.
He had already guessed the situation here. At that time, after waking up from a serious illness, he found that there was no one left in the village, it was quiet and there was nothing, and he realized that he had been abandoned. Just left resolutely.
Since then, he has never seen the people who once lived here.
He didn't remember their appearance anymore, he thought he had forgotten all about it, but when he stood in front of the door again and made the option of "don't open the door", the only thing that came to his mind was the coordinates here.
Obedient to his will at that time, he returned here again.
But that's how it came back.
Bowing her head, Xiaomei refocused her attention on the robotic arm in her hand.
But before he could re-tighten the screw in his hand, Ronggui's loud voice suddenly came from a distance:
"Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Come and see!"
He didn't intend to ignore it at first.
However, the voice from the cellar seemed to be tireless, and screamed even more vigorously. There was no way, Xiaomei could only jump off the bed again, and walking in the dark, he came to the kitchen entrance that he had not visited for a long time.
He hasn't returned to the house since the morning he found everyone gone.
Although according to the current time, he has not been away for a long time, but in his heart, he has been away for too long, and he has become unfamiliar after a long time.
Ronggui's voice came from the huge black cellar. The guy didn't know where he moved the ladder, and he didn't even know if he had such a ladder.
Walking down the ladder, as soon as he stood firm, he saw the guy named Ronggui. He had no hands, and the guy trotted and motioned for him to follow him.
Of course Xiaomei didn't run. This temporary body was not suitable for running. He followed the opponent at a normal speed.
walk over, and—
stunned.
"Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Look! There are so many... so many mushrooms here!"
If he had hands, the guy in front of him would definitely pull his arms away. Now that he doesn't have hands, he can only run around in place, expressing his excitement by running.
Behind him is a cellar full of umbrella plants! There was a little light in the dark!
Looking at the plants in front of her, Xiaomei didn't speak for a long time, and when Ronggui looked at the plan to continue shouting, he said in a low voice:
"It's not a mushroom, it's a plant called a pea, which is the main food of the... Messertal people."
There is only one kind of plant that can grow on the land of Messetal, and that is the fruit called the bean. The seeds must be carefully selected to grow the bean, not the food that can be grown casually.
Of course Ronggui didn't know this, but he still said loudly: "Tell me, are these food left to you by your clan? They can't take you away, but they planted one for you in the cellar. Large pieces of mushrooms, no! Ground beans, it must be like this! It must be like this!"
Ronggui's voice knocked on his heart word by word, his voice was very loud, but gradually, Ashhiwei... No, Xiaomei gradually became inaudible.
It was now that he finally discovered the first surprise that had not been experienced at all in previous inferences.
