The Sabbath

"Slept well! I haven't slept so well for a long time~" When Ronggui woke up again, he felt that he was very energetic. He shared his feeling with Xiaomei and praised Xiaomei's bed quilt : "Your bed is really good to sleep in."

Xiaomei: ...

"Actually, you just turned off the battery. You feel energetic because I recharged the battery for you."

All of Ronggui's previous feelings of comfort and comfort disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Thank you, thank you." Mumbling, Ronggui thanked him.

"You're welcome."

After saying this, Xiaomei didn't move again.

The motionless Xiaomei looks like a real robot.The whole room is only made by myself. To be honest, this kind of quietness is a bit scary...

Thinking about it, Ronggui jumped off the bed, pushed open the dilapidated window and looked out, it was as dark inside and outside, without any light.

"Xiao, Xiaomei, I've wanted to ask for a long time: Why is it so dark here? There's not even a moon or stars..."

It's understandable that it's so dark inside the tunnel, but it's still so dark when you come out, it feels very weird.

"Because this is underground, or the lowest underground, and 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 careful observation, he could find that what Xiaomei said was correct, but he had never thought about it from this direction.

Well, even if Xiaomei's hometown is just... low in altitude, what about the people?What about the people who used to live here?

"Where are the people who lived here before?" Asked as soon as he thought about it, Ronggui immediately asked: "Where are your people?"

Ronggui soon realized that he seemed to have asked a bad question.

"Not here anymore." Xiaomei answered him with a metallic tone.

"Yes... have they all passed away?"

"When I fell ill and passed out, they left collectively. When I woke up, I was the only one left in the whole village."

Xiaomei's metallic voice had no ups and downs, but Ronggui made up a very bleak scene abruptly.

Leaping over to hug the strong (?) Xiaomei in front of him, he patted her on the back hard: "It's all over, at least...they're gone, and this huge piece of homestead will belong to you."

"Xiaomei, you are the landlord!" Ronggui said while patting Xiaomei's back until there was a click.

Xiaomei: "You slapped my back off."

Ronggui: ...

Ronggui watched Xiaomei turn her head 180 degrees, picked up the metal cover on her back that she had slapped off, tapped, and pressed the rusty metal cover back on her body.

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, that's not what he originally said, he suggested that Xiaomei should come out and "take a look around the ancestral property", and take a break by the way.

Xiaomei did not object.

However, when he went out and saw the cracked land and the farmhouse without any farm tools left, Ronggui still felt sad.

Thinking of the empty warehouse he had seen when he "stopped" at the 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, and all the remaining items in the house. Useful things...

Only Xiaomei was not brought along.

"Don't go for a walk, the wind is too strong, I...I feel like I'm about to be blown apart." I always feel more and more desolate as I walk, regretting that I came up with a bad idea, Ronggui finally thought of a way to stop this walk reason.

Xiaomei looked at him and nodded for a while: "Go back, I just have the materials collected before, I will go back and modify your body again."

They went back to the original room, and when Xiaomei was knocking, Ronggui was quietly accompanying him.But Ronggui is naturally a restless person, so it's okay to let him sit quietly for a while, but after a long time he starts to squirm, Xiaomei is probably annoyed by his shaking, so she simply said to him: " Keep your two arms, you go around the house."

Ronggui happily agreed.

The little robot without arms deftly ran around the room.

Xiaomei's house was only that big, and he quickly went around 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 and have a look in your cellar?" She was fond of moving since she was a child, and after being taught a few times by the dean, Ronggui somehow 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 just 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 days I spent in the past.

Whether in the white world of eternal day, or in the days he spent here long ago, there always seemed to be a dead silence around him.

Holding Ronggui's robotic arm in her hand, Xiaomei raised her head.

For the situation here, he had guessed it a long time ago. 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. He realized that he had been abandoned. Only then resolutely left.

Since then, he has never met the people who used to live here.

He didn't remember their faces anymore, he thought he had forgotten all about them, but when he stood in front of that door again and made the option of "don't open the door", the only thing that came to his mind was the coordinates here.

Obeying his own will at the time, he returned here again.

But that's it when it comes back.

Lowering her head, Xiaomei refocused her attention on the mechanical 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 pay attention at first.

However, the voice from the cellar seemed inexhaustible, screaming more vigorously, Xiaomei had no choice but to jump off the bed again, walking in the dark, he came to the entrance of the kitchen that he hadn't visited for a long time.

He hadn't been back to the house since the morning he found everyone had left.

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, so long that this place has become strange.

Ronggui's voice came from the cellar like a huge black mouth, that guy did not know where he brought the ladder from, and he didn't even know if he had such a ladder before.

Going down the ladder, just when he stood firm, he saw the guy named Ronggui, who had no hands, so the guy trotted and beckoned him to follow him.

Xiaomei didn't run as a matter of course, this temporary body is not suitable for running, he walked behind 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 have pulled his arms apart. Now that he didn't have hands, he could only run around in place, expressing his excitement by running.

Behind him is a cellar full of umbrella plants!Even in the dark, it glows slightly!

Looking at the plants in front of her, Xiaomei didn't speak for a long time, until Ronggui looked at her and was about to continue shouting, then he said in a low voice:

"This is not a mushroom, but a plant called ground bean, which is... the main food of the Mesertals."

The land of Mesertal can only grow one kind of plant, which is the fruit called ground beans. Only carefully selected seeds can grow ground beans, and it is not a food that can be grown casually.

Ronggui took it for granted that he didn't know about this, but he still said loudly: "Tell me, are these the food left by your clan? They can't take you away, but they planted a plant 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, Ash Xiwei... no, Xiaomei gradually lost hearing.

Just now, he finally discovered the first accident that he had not experienced at all in the previous deduction.
