The Sabbath

Many people in Uncle Wang's family wanted to go with him, but Alan didn't agree.

"You can't go with me until you're older." That's how he dismissed the others.

Look at Alan, who is young and unrestrained despite being prudent, and look at Alan's second younger brother, third younger brother, eldest nephew, and eldest grandson, who is more lively but more mature-looking beside him...

Ronggui: =-=

"Okay, okay, your grandpa is going out to do business. Besides, the place is not plentiful. If you have the time...Second, bring two down jackets for Agui and the others." In the end, it was Uncle Wang who came out and interrupted Ai. Len's standoff with other relatives.

Uncle Wang's second son could only turn around and go back to the house. It didn't take long for him to take out two thick down jackets, and he had another one in his hand, which he handed to Alan.

"It's very cold in that place. We are genuine down jackets. The down inside is filled with real chicken feathers." Seeing Ronggui holding the down jacket a little puzzled, Uncle Wang explained a few more words.

Ronggui immediately thought of the ice and snow belt that he had passed before.

"The planet our family lives on has a relatively pleasant climate. At that time, this planet was originally built to develop a livable planet in this place. Unfortunately, there were so many bugs, which made our family cheaper." Because Rhubarb can drive automatically, so all the people in the car have nothing to do and simply chat.

Alan wasn't too talkative when he was at home, but when there were only three of them, he showed his demeanor as an elder and started talking to Ronggui and the others.

He was a little curious about the self-driving rhubarb, and when he learned that the car was completely designed and manufactured by Xiaomei, he gave Xiaomei an appreciative glance.

When he learned that most of the decorations on the car were designed by Ronggui and still made by Xiaomei, he...he looked at Xiaomei again with some encouragement.

"You're going to put on your coats when you're out of the star path. Although I don't know how cold your bodies are now, it's really cold outside, and it's getting colder and colder." Allen continued.

"It's getting colder? Will the temperature drop to minus [-] degrees?" Seriously put on the down jacket, asked Xiaomei to adjust the oversized down jacket for herself, and then helped Xiaomei adjust it again. After everything was done, Rong Gui Time to ask Alan questions.

Before leaving, Alan suggested that the two robots use his cart, but Ronggui was reluctant to part with the rhubarb. It was not until Xiaomei insisted that the rhubarb could drive safely in an environment of minus [-] degrees that Alan gave up on the proposal.

"Seventy degrees is not enough, but there is an average of minus 55 degrees." Allen said: "Even if I don't wear a down jacket, it is difficult to carry it."

As Alan said, he also put on the down jacket. The down jacket that was too big for Ronggui and Xiaomei looked just right on Alan. He took out a small bottle from the pocket of the down jacket familiarly, and he took a sip.

Seeing Ronggui looking at him carefully, Alan smiled: "It's spirits."

It was just the right time for Allen to get dressed and drink. As soon as he finished speaking, the sky outside began to snow.

Sugarman Street with red lanterns was like a beautiful dream in the ice and snow, and they woke up from the dream in a blink of an eye.

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 up inside the big yellow window glass. The baffle could generate heat, and the ice crystals on the outside of the glass melted not long after rising.

"This thing is good." Allen praised immediately.

Ronggui just smiled: "Xiaomei temporarily modified it when you were loading the goods. Because there are spare materials, he also installed a set for your family's big gray by the way."

"I also added a heating core to Uncle Wang's walking stick. Uncle Wang said that it is sometimes quite 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 really thanked them this time.

Ronggui thinks that what he is really grateful for is the latter.

Compared with the car window heating plate that made him deliver goods in the snow more comfortably, the heating core installed in Uncle Wang's walking stick is what he really appreciates.

There's no way, Alan is a filial person - Ronggui has already discovered it.

"But...it's really cold here." Looking out with his hands on the window, Da Huang turned on the headlights at the right time, allowing Rong Gui to see the vast white snow outside.

Only snow, nothing else can be seen.

They couldn't see the way either, if it wasn't for the navigation panel on Da Huang's body showing that they were still on the right road, Rong Gui would definitely have lost their way.

"Of course it must be cold. Star City is actually a prison star whose function is to detain prisoners. Naturally, they will not make it easy for these prisoners."

"Cold and heavy snow are both means of trapping prisoners. This is to prevent prisoners from escaping." Allen said.

"Huh?" Ronggui looked at him in a daze.

"The temperature near the prison is as low as minus 65 degrees on average. Most of the prisoners who escaped from the prison couldn't even escape this low temperature zone, and they fainted from the cold." Allen said, pausing for a moment: "But more people It's freezing to death."

"Only a very small group of people can escape further, but there is no supply on the road, and what awaits them is basically exhausted and starved to death."

This topic was a bit heavy, Ronggui's mouth opened and he didn't answer in the end.

Xiaomei did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Rhubarb stood in such a steady posture, and when he was driving forward at a constant speed for about two hours, Allen suddenly asked, "Can you let Rhubarb stop for a while?"

Although he didn't understand what he was going to do, Rong Gui still made Da Huang stop.

Then Allen pulled the hat over his head, pushed open the frozen door, and got out of the car.

Although he didn't understand why he got out of the car, Ronggui sat in the car for a while and thought about it, and then jumped off. Not long after Ronggui got off the car, Xiaomei also jumped out of the car holding an umbrella.

After jumping out of the car, Xiaomei carefully closed the door.

Right under their seats, the khaki little yellow chicken poked its head outwards. Rhubarb's body has a self-heating system, and the bottom of the car is especially warm. The little guy hid here shivering all the way to keep warm.

By the way, I forgot to mention that when Ronggui and the others were on their way, the chicken also followed.

Between Sugarman Street, who might be eaten at any time, and Ronggui, who doesn't eat bugs at all, and doesn't compete with it for food, it decisively chose Ronggui~

Standing on Ronggui's seat, he scratched his head and looked out. After watching for a while, he probably felt cold again, so he curled up on the seat and curled up.

And outside the window—

Xiaomei held up an umbrella. Although it was an umbrella, it was good for snowy weather. Standing under the umbrella with Xiaomei, Ronggui watched Alan straddle the thick snow and walked towards Dahuang's left side with difficulty.

The snow was too heavy, Ronggui couldn't see anything at first, until they got closer, Ronggui noticed a lonely lamp post there.

bad.

Could it be... Did Alan come here specially to change the light bulb?

Tilting his head, Ronggui was thinking wildly.

Sure enough, Allen stopped in front of the lamp post, and then took out a package of something from the pocket of his down jacket.

"What is this?" Asked as soon as he thought of it, Ronggui followed Alan and asked the question.

"It's worm meat, and a small bottle of spirits." Allen answered him without any shyness.

"Hey? Alan, do you put the food here...do you have any meaning?" In the icy and snowy environment, Ronggui really couldn't guess the meaning of Alan's move.

In the heavy snow, Allen seemed to smile slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Ronggui heard Alan's voice: "There is a legend in the prison in Star City. It is said that if you escape from the prison, when you see the red lamp post, it proves that you are about to leave the most severe cold area. It means that you have officially left Star City's sphere of influence."

"?" Ronggui continued to tilt his head.

Allen stretched out his hand and wiped vigorously on the lamp post in front until the mottled post below was exposed——

Red!

Ronggui moved a little closer in surprise.

"In this area where there is only snow and severe cold, if people see a lamp post, they will come over and rub the lamp post like I did, just to see the color of the post."

"So, if you have to say it, under the lamp post is the only place where people will stay here, and it is also something that everyone will work hard to find."

"I put a little food here, so that if someone escapes here, they may be able to survive on this food for a while."

"It's so cold in here that the food gets so hard that it's completely inedible very quickly, so I refill it every time I come over."

With Alan's explanation in this way, Ronggui finally understood completely.

however--

When he understood why Allen put the food here, another question popped up in Ronggui's mind, he opened his mouth, but he didn't let the question come out in the end, that is:

why?Alan, why are you so familiar with things in Star City?Even the legends circulating among the people inside the prison know...

Just when Ronggui fell into deep thought, Allen began to push away the snowdrifts and put food underneath.

However, pawing and pawing, his movements suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ronggui quickly asked him, obviously 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 by himself, he suddenly carried something in his other hand.

Looking carefully at the thing in Alan's hand, Ronggui took a deep breath when he saw what it was:

Good guy!That's a person!
