The Sabbath

There is a strict time limit for the opening and closing 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 are now near the elevator, and the place where the flashlight can shine is all metal surfaces nearby.

Metal ceilings, metal walls, and floors made of the same metal.

Looking further ahead, the picture is not very clear. Opposite the elevator door seems to be a very long corridor.

"Although I have never been to Star Prison, I have never been to such a low floor...." Standing beside the two small robots, Allen's low and magnetic voice sounded in the darkness: "It's a bit unexpected."

"This... I... I was a little taken aback..." Leaning tightly on Xiaomei, Ronggui still didn't forget to answer Alan's words: "Mrs. Zora's house is so low..."

"However, it's not surprising if you think about it carefully: Mrs. Zora seems to prefer some very secluded houses. Although it looks a little... a little scary because of the darkness, but when you turn on the lights, you will find that the rooms are actually very beautiful. "Although Ronggui was slightly shocked because of the floor, but when he thought that this was Mrs. Zora's house, he had the guts to go back home again.Not only that, he couldn't help but began to defend Mrs. Zora.

"Ms. Zora is a very elegant and tasteful lady. She has her own style in home furnishing and garden design..."

However, Rong Gui suddenly froze after saying this: he suddenly remembered that this is a prison, even Mrs. Zora, probably...can't decorate the prison in a more romantic way, right?

Oops!It seems that I accidentally said too much.

"I found the energy supply station." Just when Ronggui was a little guilty, Xiaomei's voice sounded in front of him, and Ronggui realized that he was dragged by Xiaomei to a position against the wall at some point, standing on tiptoe, Xiaomei Trying to lift myself up trying to reach the console.

Ronggui quickly hugged Xiaomei by the waist, and after Xiaomei successfully reached the console, only a few "pops" were heard, and the originally dark space suddenly became brightly lit.

Just as they had seen with the flashlight before, here is a metal corridor with four sides, and at the end of the corridor is a black carved door.

Door... key?

Ronggui immediately thought of the key in his hand, and he immediately pulled Xiaomei towards the black carved door. Alan followed behind them, looking around without a trace.

What he said just now is the truth, the basement floor is minus nine hundred and ninety-nine, even for him it is a legendary floor, he has never been here, if it is not for sending Ronggui and the others here this time, he does not think he can come here.

The more ferocious the prisoner, the lower the floor, because it will be more and more difficult to escape. Thinking of the legends about the lowest prisons in Star Prison and Hell that have been circulating for a long time, he is also very curious

Although the pace was not satisfactory when following the two small robots, but because of his height and long legs, he could still have enough time to look around while following Ronggui and the others steadily.

It was surrounded by metal walls that he was familiar with. To be exact, the walls of all the floors in "Hell" were made of metal. This is a special kind of metal, which is extremely strong and cannot be easily destroyed. The strength is different, and the color of the metal also varies. The difference is that so far, he has seen red, white, blue, purple...but 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 squinted his eyes.

He was not the only one who noticed such things, but also Xiaomei.

Just as Xiaomei's gaze fell to the two sides of the wall, Ronggui had already let go of Xiaomei's hand and walked over on her own initiative.

Stretching out his hand, he squatted on the ground and fiddled with those things with his fingers.

Those things are very fragile, and with a little more strength, a lot of them will be turned into pieces. Ronggui barely picks out a relatively complete one, which looks like a branch and vine...

"It's Snowball Flower!" Ronggui said loudly to Xiaomei.

"Huh?" There was no name I'd heard of at all, but seeing the two little robots seemed to know something, Allen also bent down.

As soon as he came over, Ronggui stuffed the short section of vine into his hand as if offering a treasure.

Without refusing, Allen pinched the black dead branch with two fingers and took a closer look.

It was a plant he had never seen before—he made a decision.

"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 time ago, there was a pair of lovers who loved each other but couldn't. The family feud, the pressure from the elders forced them not to be together, forget it, but they are not allowed to talk or meet each other, this is really inhumane~"

"It seemed to feel the girl's sorrow. A plant she cared for 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 I knew it, its roots grew in the opposite direction, through the girl's dressing table, through the window, through the heavily guarded walls of the two houses, and 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, and he tried to speak, but the girl also heard his voice!"

"At first they thought it was the apparition of the gods, but later they found out that the girl planted snowball flowers! Long vines grew, and leaves grew from the roots, and those leaves could deliver the sound very well!"

"Later, the flowering part of this plant that originally grew on the ground is still called Snowball Flower, but the part that was originally a rhizome, but can grow very long and have the effect of transmitting sound is called the Whispering Grass."

It was rare for him to have a question that he could answer, so Ronggui explained in detail the Huamu information he knew.

"On the ground...under the ground...does this kind of plant live in Star Prison and Hell at the same time?" Allen listened, but the focus was not on the love story that Rong Gui tried to describe. His focus was very partial. the shape of the plant itself.

But what he said is also very reasonable——Thinking about it in his heart, Ronggui nodded.

So, the hand that was about to let go was taken back, instead of throwing away the dead branch in his hand, Alan glanced at the dead branch again, and he looked at Ronggui: "Can you give it to me?"

Ronggui was stunned for a moment, and later realized that what Alan said was referring to the dead branch of the whispering grass that he put in the opponent's hand.

"Uh... Of course, but this is just a dead branch..." It's worthless even as fertilizer, no matter how you look at it, it's meaningless to collect... Before Ronggui could finish this sentence, Alan had already cut the slender fingers together.

"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 place should indeed be Mrs. Zora's house. Mrs. Zora likes to grow whispering grass on the fence. She said that this kind of grass grows quickly and doesn't bother you. The leaves are still compact and have a good isolation effect." From time to time, he would go to the herbal garden to help out. Ronggui was absolutely clear about the various plants in Mrs. Zhuo La's house, at least one species with a legendary story like the whispering grass.

Xiaomei nodded. Unlike Ronggui, she also helped in the herbal garden. Xiaomei was very familiar with all the plants in Mrs. Zhuola’s garden. Xiaomei, who was pulled by Ronggui to help, not only knew the names of each plant, but also He knows all the common sense and living habits of their maintenance, but he is not as clear as Ronggui about the gossip and legends behind the plants.

But what Ronggui knows, he will know sooner or later, because Ronggui can't help but keep silent.

The two little robots are at the front, Allen is one step behind them, and Rhubarb is at the back. No one is driving it, it drives itself, and the direction the owner is heading is also where it is going.

The traces of dead branches left in the gaps in the wall confirmed the fact that Mrs. Zora once lived here from the left side. Realizing this, Ronggui's heart was already settled. When he walked in front of the black carved door, he poked He poked Xiaomei, handed the key to Xiaomei, and he signaled Xiaomei to open the door.

For the two of them, it seems that Xiaomei has always been responsible for opening and closing the door. It is just a small detail in life, and it becomes a habit after a long time.

Xiaomei took the key and gently inserted it into the keyhole.

After a "click", with a slightly rusty sound, the door opened.

It was dark inside.

Without going in immediately, Xiaomei put away the key, first slowly pushed the door open, then walked in, stood on tiptoe, and fumbled lightly at the position on the left side, which is the place where the light switch is used to be installed in Mrs. Zora’s house— ——I often help Mrs. Zora fix things. Xiaomei already knows the details of Mrs. Zora's life very well.

Sure enough, at that position, he touched the switch, and if he insisted, the shape of the switch was a bit familiar.

Xiaomei tapped the switch lightly, and after a brief pause, the lights in the room turned on one by one.

All are soft orange-yellow lights, which is also the color of light commonly used in Mrs. Zora's house.

The yellow light illuminated the whole scene in front of the three people——

"Wow!" It was Ronggui who spoke first.

After yelling, he immediately ran towards the house, and with a "baji", he jumped into the big sofa.

Dust visible to the naked eye floated out from the blanket. If it was a human body, Ronggui would probably be sneezing at this time. Fortunately, he is a robot now, so he just rolled happily on the sofa hugging the pillow a few times.

Familiar blankets, familiar small round tables, familiar rocking chairs, familiar soft sofas... there is a familiar black-eyed little robot that can no longer be familiar with.

Xiaomei didn't hold back, she raised her feet, and he also walked towards the sofa, but he didn't roll into the sofa like Ronggui, but sat directly on the round stool next to the sofa.

↑

It was also where he sat most often at Mrs. Zora'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 Sisiro City.

This kind of exactly the same does not mean that the style and size of the furniture are exactly the same, but the style is consistent.

The room in Ronggui's eyes has a strong Mrs. Zora's quality.

And it was this quality that made the two little robots relax all of a sudden.

Ronggui naturally expressed this relaxed state of mind through actions, and Xiaomei...although she was not as sensitive as Ronggui, but if you look closely, you will know that he has also relaxed a lot.

The life of Sisiro City living with Mrs. Zora and Hana left a deep imprint on the two little robots.

Before they knew it, the appearance of Mrs. Zora's house became the basic appearance of "home" in their hearts.

"That's right! This is Mrs. Zora's house." Rong Gui rubbed the blanket under his face again, and then greeted Alan very warmly: "Grandpa Alan, don't stand still, sit down quickly~ "

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 small robots. Knowing that there was a lot of dust on it, he sat down. The action is very careful.

The body suddenly sank into the soft sofa. He had never sat on such a soft thing before. Allen moved a bit uncomfortable, and finally adjusted to a more comfortable position. He then looked around curiously but still steadily. Come:

It was a room of... a style he had never seen before.

The living room is very large, with soft fabric sofas scattered in the center, covered with handmade blankets that look good in texture. In addition, there are various lamps of different heights beside the sofa, and each lamp has a different shape , looks very chic.

The chair not far away looks weird (← rocking chair), but it feels very comfortable, which makes him want to get one for Dad.

On the opposite side of the sofa, past the two small robots, he saw a rectangular dining table covered with a checkered tablecloth, and even the chairs were covered with the same color cloth. 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 head, and did not express his feelings. If he narrated his detailed feelings to Ronggui, Ronggui would find an exact reason for his feeling:

The taste of the hostess.

Mrs. Zora's room had a strong feminine softness which is peculiar to families with a mistress.

Leaving aside the previous life, after being picked up by Uncle Wang, Alan lived among a group of old men, and the few girls in the family were brought up by a group of men. Living in this environment for a long time, Alan has a great deal of respect for her. This trait is completely unfamiliar.

However, this did not prevent him from sitting on the soft sofa and relaxing slightly.

Perhaps, compared to the house, this soft feeling is the real one, the precious gift that Mrs. Zora sent them from the distant city of Sisiro.
