SHEEP

Yi Heye didn't know how Xiao Yunduo brought him home, he just remembered that in a daze, the little guy kept licking the tears on his face, supporting him from falling.

When I woke up the next morning, I was in a mess, but I was also lying on my own bed. When I probed, the little cloud was like a dirty rag, so tired that my limbs were spread apart and lying on the ground to sleep, the mud all over my body hadn’t been washed yet. clean.

Yi Heye got up quickly, but he suddenly started to shudder, with a sharp stabbing pain in his head.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, shook his head again, turned over and got off the bed, and patted Xiao Yunduo's buttocks lightly.

"Get up." Yi Heye's voice was still hoarse, and he didn't have much strength, so his voice was rare and soft, "The ground is cold."

Xiao Yunduo didn't have the habit of staying in bed, as soon as she heard Yi Heye's voice, she straightened up like a fat sheep, sat up from the ground, and threw herself into his arms.

But before he had time to throw himself into his arms, Yi Heye grabbed the throat of fate with one hand.

"Go take a bath." Yi Heye patted his pink and tender belly, his eyes softened a little, "It's covered in mud."

Xiao Yunduo is also a lover of fragrance. After putting Yi Heye on the bed last night, she ran to the shower room to take a shower, but she was too short, and she couldn't turn on the faucet with her fat paws for a long time, so she could only endure it. , Sleeping so dirty all night.

As soon as he heard that he was about to take a bath, Xiao Yunduo immediately perked up, and Pidianpidian followed him to the bathroom.

Yi Heye filled the bathtub with hot water without making a sound, found out the pet body wash and a small brush that he had bought for it before, and picked up the hundred-pound little sheep.

"Boil mutton." Yi Heye tried his best to joke. Although the voice was weak, Xiao Yunduo still moved his limbs slowly, coordinatingly playing the role of a kidnapped sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The lamb entered the water cautiously, repeatedly testing the water temperature with black toes, and then nodded to Yi Heye confirmingly, approving him to let him enter the water.

The moment it was put into the water, the whole tank of clear water was dyed pitch black. Yi Heye let out a disgusted "Hey", and Xiao Yunduo immediately turned around and argued, "Bah!!"

Yi Heye couldn't help laughing out loud: "The hair on the face has faded? Where did this fake wool come from?"

While kicking her legs without touching the ground, Xiao Yunduo sternly protested at him with her buttocks pouted.

Yi Heye patted its solid flesh again, and sighed, "Other people's cats and dogs will shrink after washing, but you are solid."

Xiao Yunduo proudly wagged her tail, holding her head high and her chest high.

A few simple little actions made Yi Heye feel much better.

While rubbing bubbles for it, Yi Heye looked at the white wool gradually showing its true colors, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable again.

"Where did you go?" Yi Heye asked cautiously, "Why are you so dirty..."

When Xiao Yunduo heard the words, she immediately turned her head to look at him: "Baa baa."

The sentence was too long, there were too many unfamiliar words, and the structure was too complicated. Yi Heye didn't understand it, so he could only sigh silently and continue to help him bathe.

Does Xiao Yunduo know that her father is gone?Did he know that his stepfather killed its own father?How much hardship did it suffer during this period, and how long did it take to find itself?

Thinking about it, Yi Heye felt sore again, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Little Yunduo, I'm sorry, your father..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yunduo stood up from the bathtub with a "crash", and regardless of the wet bath water, he directly poked his head over to lick Yi Heye's face.

Yi Heye was tickled by it, and could only smile while being forced to swallow the half-sentence.

It should know everything, Yi Heye thought.

The dirt on Xiao Yunduo's body took about five or six tanks of water to wash it off thoroughly. Finally, it no longer "faded", so she turned over and floated on her back in the water to take a bath.

Yi Heye looked at his pink and tender belly, and stretched out his hand to put a little yellow duck on it—it was a gift from the pet store when he bought feed for it last time. The fat boy thought it was naive and dismissed it before. , this time it is simply crunchy and playful.

A few minutes later, Yi Heye cleaned and dried it, and a brand new, fragrant and fluffy came back.

The glamorous big baby made Yi Heye feel that the sky was a little brighter. He invited this big white cotton pillow to watch a movie together in the room. One person and one sheep unpacked two bags of potato chips, and lay on the sofa again They leaned against each other and squinted for a while.

This was the rare time for Yi Heye to sleep relatively peacefully in so many days. Although he didn't sleep for a long time, at least the process of falling asleep was not painful. This was a very important step for him.

In the evening, he still carried the lamb back to the unit on a skateboard.

As soon as I went back, my old boss greeted me again, asking questions.

Yi Heye saw the old man's completely white hair this time, and then he felt that he had really failed Li Ju.

"Why did you run home without telling us? How about living alone? Have you taken your medicine? Do you want to send someone over to take care of you?"

Li Ju's barrage of questions made Yi Heye unable to get his head around, so he asked him to rest assured by asking him over and over again.

After Li Ju checked that Yi Heye was fine, he saw the little fat sheep hidden behind him, and quickly squatted down and asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Xiao Yunduo let out a soft "baa", as if she was a little stage frightened.

After Yi Heye asked this question, he realized that Ju Li and Xiao Yunduo had met face to face during this period of time.

After Jian Yunxian declared his death, Little Yunduo was also completely homeless. First, he wandered outside for a while, but was spotted by Ju Li who happened to be passing by, so he went back to the bureau, thinking that at least he could give birth to Yi Heye. Thinking about it, I didn't expect that the child escaped from prison that night, and probably went out to find Yi Heye.

It found itself, and sent itself safely home.

Yi Heye turned his head, and at this moment the little fat sheep was timidly hiding behind him, just like he was hiding behind Jian Yunxian when they met for the first time.

It seems to keep wariness and distance from strangers forever, but once it recognizes its master, it is a loyal little guard.

Yi Heye rubbed its sheep's head, for some reason, his feelings towards it are very complicated now.

Director Li babbled and took them back to the office building—this child's willingness to return to the collective was a big step towards recovery in the eyes of Director Li.

"Ju Li, do you have any work to do recently?" Yi Heye asked sullenly, "Arrange it for me, please?"

Director Li worried: "Your body..."

"There is nothing wrong with my body—I wasn't injured much at first." Yi Heye lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, "As for the mental state, I think it's easy to have accidents when I'm idle..."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "I tend to think wildly when I'm bored at home. Find something to divert my attention. If I'm tired, let me go to bed early at night."

Director Li knew that the child's worries would not be solved for a while, and these few words were indeed to the point, but he was worried about letting him do dangerous things in this state.

"During the time you left, we have already coordinated all the positions, but the professional work will definitely be handed over to you in the end." Li Ju said, "In the past few days, you should first try to get back the feeling of work. , Hurry up to recover your physical fitness during your spare time at work, there have been a lot of things going on in the bureau recently, I need you to come back in the best condition."

Yi Heye nodded, knowing that he really didn't have the energy to take on the core work immediately, so he also obeyed the arrangement.

Even a second of idleness made him feel uneasy.Yi Heye didn't even go back to the unit to rest, and went out to hunt in a hurry.

He rode his bike to Area C with muscle memory. Due to regional cultural issues, there were more AI violations in that area than in other areas. Yi Heye would never return empty-handed every time he passed by.

After passing the familiar Wenhua Street, the tattoo shop is no longer there. The original store sells trendy brands, and the owner is also an unfamiliar face.

Yi Heye glanced in from the corner of his eye, and then regained his energy.

Although Yi Heye has become a celebrity now and was forced to step from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, this still does not affect his work with great fanfare.

He quickly discerned the emotions on the faces of passers-by, a middle-aged aunt passing by panickedly avoided his eyes, and in the next second, Yi Heye was in front of her.

Yi Heye subconsciously prepared to draw out his gun, but his fingers spread out the moment they touched the handle of the gun. He only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly touched the restraint lock on the side.

"Hello." Yi Heye said indifferently, "You are suspected of violating Article 279 of the Artificial Intelligence Management Regulations. Please cooperate with our investigation."

The auntie was about to run away, which already constituted a sufficient condition for shooting, but Yi Heye still didn't draw the gun, but directly pushed her to the ground with a smooth movement.

The recovery task was completed smoothly, but Yi Heye felt a little stuck in his throat - fortunately Suo met someone who was not so quick, otherwise his two hesitations alone might have killed him.

If you want to die, you have to die. I look like this, as if I live to die...

Another negative thought flashed through Yi Heye's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

He felt that he might not be tired enough, so he turned to the underground shooting range on the first floor.

As early as three or five years ago, shooting training was already too basic for him.He is the only person in the whole situation who never shoots a target in an upright manner, but this time, he knows that he has to.

It was already very late at this time, Yi Heye was the only one in the entire shooting range.

After quickly passing through the security check, he got the pistol assigned by the range. The range is a combination of various types. There are indoor precision targets, video targets, and moving targets at different distances. You can also turn on holographic images and site wind devices to simulate outdoor shooting. shooting training.

Yi Heye chose to shoot indoors with an accuracy of 50 meters. In the distance, a small robot full of bullet craters helped him change the target paper and began to help him confirm the shooting safety.

The shooting gun in his hand felt very different from the silver key, so it didn't immediately arouse Yi Heye's discomfort.

He quickly and deftly inspects the gun, depresses it, loads it, and up to here everything is running smoothly.

Until he raised his hand and looked at the opposite target through the front sight, the human-shaped target in his field of vision changed into Jian Yunxian inexplicably.

The guy stood far away from him, smiling at his black muzzle, as if waiting for him to pull the trigger.

Yi Heye shook his hands and raised his head in fright, confirming that he was hallucinating, but at this time his heartbeat was already disordered.

Once again adjusted his state, Yi Heye tried to aim again, but the moment he raised his gun, he seemed to see a bright red in his field of vision again, and a familiar body fell down where his gun was pointing at.

This time, Yi Heye's whole body trembled, and his whole body was sweating as he uncontrollably backed away, which directly triggered the safety alarm of the shooting range: "Warning! Please return to the safe shooting area! Please return to the safe shooting area !!"

Yi Heye had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk back. This time, he simply closed his eyes, he thought, as long as the gun rang out.

But as soon as he put his finger on the trigger, the first thing that sounded in his ears was not the gunshot, but Jian Yunxian's words——

"Yi Heye, shoot me."

At that moment, his gun almost fell to the ground.The shooting range robot saw that his situation was wrong, and immediately ran over and forcibly took away the gun in his hand.

Yi Heye looked down at his trembling fingers—it seemed that he could no longer shoot.

Wanting to cry again, he hastily lowered his head to control his tears, and then fled from the security checkpoint covered in cold sweat. He felt that he was in such a mess.

Yi Heye hurriedly picked up his things, and was about to go back and take a shower to adjust his bad mood, but found that when he just shot, he had four or five missed calls.

They were all calling from the same strange number, and judging from the time not long ago, it was probably really urgent to call five in a row.

Afraid of delaying important matters, Yi Heye hurriedly called back. There was a very familiar and neutral voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this Chief Yi Heye from the Artificial Intelligence Administration...?" The voice over there was very cautious, with some suppressed hesitation.

Yi Heye immediately said seriously: "Yes."

The voice on the other side was silent for a moment: "...I am Lu Qing."

Lu Qing is the name of the piercer.

"Before you said, call you if you need it..." Lu Qing took a deep breath, and then broke down, "Please help us, we really can't live anymore..."
