strange village

"What about the number on the body? Some people have it, some don't?" Dongyue asked again.

"I don't know about this project. I don't have authority in this environment system, and I can't be sure. I thought it was a matter of time. The early bionics didn't follow the current numbering system, so this project should have lasted for a long time. But it’s hard to say now. It cannot be ruled out that there are still ordinary people here. Perhaps at the beginning of the experiment, they stayed here as observers. After a long time, this place formed its own system and became self-sufficient, so it gradually lost contact with the outside world. , it’s not impossible.”

"But do you think these participants expect this kind of new life? Even if this is what they want, it has nothing to do with them now and then."

"This is their own choice. As long as it is meaningful to them at the time, it is enough. Besides, they are the happiest when they are full of expectations for one thing, and the closer the time is, the stronger the pleasure will be. When it finally happens It reaches a climax for a moment, and then it gradually becomes flat. For example, the most exciting time of the week for people is Friday afternoon, and they regard the last part of their life as Friday afternoon, and it is difficult to say that they are not satisfied."

"Besides, these people don't care about the real result. They just hope that there is a possibility to re-choose at those crucial life nodes and live the life they expected. For example, Lin Changchang, she thinks her regret is that throwing away Pei Chang won't do that if she leaves her younger brother. As for whether this is really a better choice, it's not that important to her. Many people will say, if I were given another chance, I would definitely not do it again. If you do that, there is no chance to start over in life. To some extent, you are given this opportunity here, although the person concerned is not aware of it.

"Self-satisfaction!" Dongyue said.

Zhu Yao smiled unprecedentedly and said, "That's right, that's it."

"But according to what you said, we shouldn't be here, right?"

Zhu Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Accidents will happen in everything. For us, as long as it is controllable. But I am not qualified to say about the current situation. Only the teacher can evaluate it."

Dongyue looked a little uneasy, but nodded anyway.

"What are you worried about?" Zhu Yao looked at him with concern, and grabbed his hand on the table.

Dongyue shook her head and said, "No, I'm just wondering if I've done anything wrong. I don't want to affect others because of me."

Zhu Yao patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. I'm more worried about you."

Just as the words fell, they heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing.

Dongyue thought about it, maybe Mo Tan came, maybe there was something new discovered in the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, it was Shuang Ye who came in. She came alone, still looking capable and dignified, with a bag of things in her hand.

"It's you? What's the matter?" Dongyue freed her hands and stood up.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Shuang Ye looked a little surprised.

"No, why are you here?" Dongyue replied.

Shuang Ye raised the things in her hand and said: "The weather has changed recently, I will send you some warm clothes, all new, for the men in the house, I found some good ones, you should be able to wear them .”

Zhu Yao stepped forward to take the things and thanked him.

But Shuangye said: "Don't be so polite, if I don't take good care of you, I will be dereliction of duty."

"Is Xiao Yiran still not in good health?" Dongyue was a little puzzled, Xiao Yiran should have been fine for a long time.

"It's not him, it's Yuan Tinghe, maybe he's in a hurry and caught a cold again." Shuang Ye glanced at the dry breakfast on their table, and then said: "Sure enough, it's the same here, I heard that all the eggs in the backyard of the kitchen have been stolen gone."

No wonder I feel like something is missing for breakfast!

Dongyue opened her mouth in surprise, looking rather silly.

"What's going on? Do you have a clue?" Zhu Yao asked.

"It shouldn't be done by the family members. No one is short of food and drink. Why steal raw eggs? If there are no outsiders hiding here, maybe the snakes ate them."

When Dongyue heard this, she immediately remembered Yuan Tinghe's white snake that ate hot spring eggs.

"But last time the snake couldn't move after swallowing a lot of eggs."

"I'm not sure about that either. Maybe I took advantage of no one to find out and left slowly. But don't worry, the chicken wasn't stolen, it's still there."

Dongyue couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yuan Tinghe should be happy after finding those precious snakes. Why are you still sick?"

"This is called extreme joy begets sorrow." Zhu Yao saw the stitches, and his tone was not kind.

Dongyue seemed inappropriate when she heard this, but Shuangye was still there, and she always felt that it was inappropriate, so she secretly poked his waist.

Dongyue smiled awkwardly, and was busy smoothing things over: "His body is really bad, let's go and see him later."

Shuangye nodded, showing no special expression, she didn't seem to care.

They were about to unpack the package to see when someone knocked on the door again.

At this glance, this person is very unfamiliar, wearing a uniform of a guard.

"Excuse me, I'm here to deliver a message for Miss Chu Xuan. Tonight at seven o'clock, I want to invite you two to have dinner together. I neglected you two yesterday. I hope you can give her a chance to make up for it."

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

But I feel strange in my heart.

Dongyue took out a sweater from the package and compared it on her body, but accidentally saw a rare panic flashing across Shuangye's face.

This is strange, why?

After Shuangye and the guards left one after another, Dongyue closed the door and asked questions.

"This is strange. She was so rude to us yesterday. She resisted asking her anything, and refused to say anything useful. After just one night, she changed her sex?"

"Maybe she remembered something she didn't say, and changed her mind." Zhu Yao paused for a moment, and then said, "Maybe it's because there are some things that some people cannot know, but she is willing to tell us alone."

"You mean, she dare not say it in front of Mo Tan?"

Zhu Yao turned around and sat back on the sofa, leaning on the armrest.

"It's just a guess. It sounds like we are going to meet alone tonight. You know, Mo Tan and Chu Qing are very close. She knows it. There is no reason why Chu Qing wouldn't know."

"What kind of relationship do they have? Why can't I see it!" Dongyue was surprised, and seemed to have misunderstood.

"Uh, that's not what it means. I don't know if their relationship has reached that level, but at least they are childhood sweethearts. You can understand the relationship between Asi and Chongmu."

Dongyue didn't have such a friend who grew up with her since she was a child, and she was a little envious when she thought about it.

Then, the two sat on the sofa for a while, before Dongyue remembered to go and see Yuan Tinghe.

He dawdled for a while, and then the cloak was about to go out, but Zhu Yao grabbed his arm and pulled it back to his thigh.

"The sun is so bright outside right now, where are you going?"

Dongyue is a bit in a dilemma.

"Just now I said that Yuan Tinghe is ill, and I'm going to see him." He felt that Zhu Yao might not want to see the frail man, so he hesitated before asking, "Do you want to go with me?"

Zhu Yao sighed imperceptibly. Although he really didn't want to see Yuan Tinghe very much, he was not in a bad mood when he found that someone cared about his feelings carefully.

He pressed her into his arms and kissed him a few more times, and then the two of them went out together.
