The Happy Life of Robot Al

After waking up the next day, the weather was still gloomy. It seemed that it had rained all night. Xi Luo climbed to the window and looked at the courtyard. Because of the rain, the last flowers in the courtyard at the end of spring had fallen. Mixed with the residual leaves in the soil, it looks a bit ruined.

"you're awake?"

Sensing Xi Luo's movement, Al also turned on the phone, and saw Xi Luo lying on the window.

"What are you looking at?"

Al moved to the side of Xi Luo, and followed his gaze to see that the courtyard was empty.

"Although it's late spring and early summer, I can't feel it in the mountains at all."

Xi Luo stretched out her hand and opened the window a little bit, and the cold wind came in accompanied by the rain, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Well, the temperature in the mountains will be much lower than outside, and this planet has completely maintained its original ecology and has not been polluted. Have you noticed that there are not even any robots here."

After Al mentioned this, Xi Luo realized that, except for the robots she saw when she was in the space station, she had never seen any robots after arriving on this planet, and even the cleaning ones on weekdays were all ordinary of humans.

"Even in Favna, at least those who usually do housework are some simple robots."

Xi Luo closed the window to block the cold outside.

"Maybe they don't like it very much. Such a place is indeed suitable for maintaining a quiet life in the original ecology."

Al touched Xi Luo's head, put on his own clothes and walked out of the room.

Xi Luo crawled back onto the quilt, and buried her face in it comfortably, letting her cold skin cling to the quilt, and the warmth gradually spread all over her body.

Not long after, Al came back with breakfast.

Breakfast is soup and omelet, served with rice and pickles. Xi Luo feels strange about eating rice in the morning, but after drinking the warm soup, her stomach feels very comfortable.

"I was going to climb the mountain today, but it seems that I can't go."

Although the rain was not as heavy as last night, it still didn't seem to stop.

Yesterday Anna heard that the environment on the mountain behind the hotel is very good, the road is not too difficult to walk, and you can see the waterfall, so she made an appointment with Xi Luo to go there today, but unexpectedly, it started to rain.

"The rain will stop at noon, why don't you go shopping in the town, there are some nice shops over there."

The hotel staff who hadn't left yet smiled and said to them that although they had been here for several days, Xi Luo and Anna didn't leave the hotel at all. Anna liked the hotel's wine very much and got drunk almost every day.

Hearing that there is a town, Xi Luo's curiosity was aroused.

"Then it's decided, Al, what do you think?"

"It looks good. Speaking of which, although I have been here for several days, I still don't know what this planet is like."

Al also thought it was a good idea, so he stood up and said that he was going to tell Anna and Zela face to face.

"Then I'll go and help everyone prepare the car for travel."

The staff in pink left the room with a smile. Xi Luo, who was suddenly left alone, felt flustered for a while, but fortunately, Al came back soon.

"Anna and Mother have both decided to go and are washing up."

"Well, then let's prepare quickly."

Saying that, Xi Luo speeded up her meal.

The hotel prepared a car for everyone and an umbrella for everyone.

The umbrella is a patterned oiled paper umbrella with a wooden handle.

The road from the mountain to the town is not difficult, maybe because of the rain, the car drove a little slowly.

Before lunch, everyone arrived in the town.

The rain was also much lighter, and it hit the paper umbrella with a patter, making a nice crackling sound.

Although the town is not noisy, it is not lonely either. There are groups of tourists wearing printed dresses holding beautiful patterned paper umbrellas, and there are also local residents holding packages and walking quickly among the crowd. .

Xi Luo and his group stood at the entrance of the town and looked over. There was a straight road paved with bluestone slabs, and there were many shops on both sides of the road. Although it was raining, there were still food stalls there, surrounded by some beautifully dressed women.

As a male Xi Luo standing in such a place, it can really be said to be very special.

At the end of the road is a staircase, which looks like a temple. The red lacquered pillars are particularly dazzling in the hazy rain.

A group of people walked onto the street, and the wooden slippers made a crackling sound on the bluestone road, the sound was very pleasant.

"There are so many strange things here."

As a tourist planet, almost all the shops around sell snacks and specialty products. Because of the rain, every household has set up an awning, and raindrops like beads drip from the edge of the awning. The women who were picking products at the entrance of the store exclaimed because the falling raindrops touched their necks, followed by the laughter of their companions.

"I always feel that if I can choose, I will live here for the rest of my life."

Xi Luo looked around, everything seemed particularly peaceful.

"It's not bad here, but ordinary people may get tired of it after living for a long time."

Anna looked at the shops around her and frowned. Although she felt good after staying here for a few days, she would definitely get tired of being separated from the star network and the city after a long time.

A few people casually strolled around the store, because there were a lot of women's beauty products and some beautiful trinkets, so Anna bought a lot, but Xi Luo didn't want anything, and he, who likes sweets, tasted several local specialty desserts, so Also bought some.

After getting tired from shopping, the few people sat down in a tea house at the corner of the road to rest. Someone was playing musical instruments in the tea house, and many guests were attracted to rest here.

"Ah, you guys came to town for sightseeing."

As soon as Caixiang walked into the tea house holding an umbrella, she saw Xi Luo and his party sitting at the door, and greeted them with smiles all over the place.

"Hello, lady boss."

Xi Luo also smiled, because of the topic last night, he felt a little embarrassed, but he saw Cai Xiang's expression was natural.

"The meatballs in this tea house are really good. Every time I go out to do errands, I will take a copy home."

Caixiang smiled and sat down next to the crowd, and then asked the store for a ball of meatballs.

He didn't know if it was Xi Luo's illusion, but he only felt a trace of tiredness in Caixiang's smile.

Everyone didn't say anything more, Caixiang took the wrapped meatballs from the shopkeeper, said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and left with an umbrella.

"The proprietress doesn't look like someone who can eat such desserts."

Anna looked at Caixiang's back and muttered.

"why?"

"She smokes. People who smoke don't like sweets very much."

Anna pointed to her own plate, she ordered a grilled squid, and Xi Luo ordered two meatballs with different flavors.

"It's not that the proprietress likes to eat, but her son likes to eat."

A brisk and bright voice came from beside her, and Xi Luo turned her head. It was the young clerk who had just prepared meatballs for Caixiang.

"This is the first time I've seen you, are you new guests of Garden Flower?"

The young clerk looked at everyone.

"Well, I heard that the hot spring here is very good, so I came here to try it."

Anna smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the young clerk.

"Is the proprietress's son not here? I haven't seen him in Garden Flowers for the past few days."

Xi Luo recalled that in the past few days, there were only the proprietress and female staff in the museum, and no men were seen.

"I haven't been here for a long time. In fact, I heard people say that the proprietress' son has passed away."

The young clerk looked around and spoke to everyone in a low voice. Then a voice called her came from the store, and she apologized to everyone and went in to get busy.

"Could it be that yesterday's death day was for this?"

Anna wondered.

Xi Luo also suddenly recalled that the nicks she saw on the tree in the courtyard before were getting taller and taller one by one. Looking at it this way, she realized that it was similar to measuring height.

Thinking that the highest nick did not reach his chest, such a small child had already passed away, which made him feel a little sad.

Then Xi Luo thought that if the war didn't stop, more children like this would die, so no matter what, he had to complete his task, and he secretly cheered himself up in his heart, and Xi Luo's mood finally recovered I ate two more meatballs, and in a blink of an eye, I saw that the rain outside stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sun filled the sky.

It was already dinner time when we returned to the hotel. Xi Luo went back to the room and saw Caixiang squatting under the tree in the courtyard. He didn't care whether the dinner would be cold, so he walked towards Caixiang.

Hearing footsteps, Ayaka turned her head.

Xi Luo saw her put the meatballs on a small plate and put them on the ground.

"I'm sorry, last night you said I look alike, is it like your son?"

"You are really rude." Caixiang frowned and looked at Xi Luo.

"So I apologize first, I'm really sorry."

Caixiang didn't speak, just stared at Xi Luo, and just before Xi Luo couldn't bear it anymore, Caixiang suddenly smiled.

"It's really similar, even such a surprising persistence."

Caixiang walked aside, Xi Luo relaxed her shoulders in disappointment, but saw Caixiang beckoning to her, and the two sat down on the porch together.

"My son was hanged from that tree, right in front of me."

Caixiang lit the cigarette stick, then pointed to the tree in the courtyard, and took a long puff of the cigarette.

Hearing this sentence, Xi Luo was startled, and stared at the tree in front of him in a daze, he didn't expect that this was the case.

"Surprised, isn't it? It looks like you were brought up well, so you probably haven't encountered such a thing before." Caixiang smiled, "If my son hadn't passed away, he would be your age by now."

"sorry."

Xi Luo lowered her head, feeling guilty for uncovering the sadness of others.

"It's nothing, it's been so many years. I was a little surprised to hear you and your robot calling another female robot mother."

"Well, my mother raised me, and Al is my younger brother, who I picked up from the garbage dump."

"It's ironic that children raised by robots are better educated than those raised by humans."

"Speaking of which, when I was a child, I couldn't tell the difference between robots and humans for a long time. I thought robots were just one of the different races of humans."

Xi Luo smiled, and some interesting things about her childhood emerged in her mind. She remembered that when she was very young, Zela was actually very clumsy in raising children, and would only follow the input in the program, so whenever Xi Luo asked When some strange things happen, Zela will freeze for a long time. Later, in the process of teaching Xiluo, Zela gradually learned how to learn new things. For a robot, it can be described as earth-shaking. Variety.

Later, Zela became like an ordinary woman, treating Xi Luo gently, caring about his health, and even seeking help from others when there were some problems that she couldn't solve by herself, so it's hard to say , Did Zela educate Xiluo, or Xiluo slowly changed Zela.

"You are a resident of the Federation, why do you want to fight against the Federation? Because you can't stand the oppression? Or do you want to seize power?"

"Hmm..." Xi Luo held her chin and pondered for a while, "Actually, I don't understand, I don't even understand why there is a war. Although I don't like the strict hierarchy of the Federation, the fact is The world does not hinder my life, and no one around me really resents it. Although the Favna I live on is a very poor planet, as long as I am willing to work hard, I can fill my stomach and live a good life. It seems that I studied hard, so I was able to be admitted to the Federation College."

"In that case, why do you want to help Frank?"

"Because he is my friend." Xi Luo looked at Cai Xiang with a smile on her face, "My friend needs help, shouldn't we just help?"

"Ah?" For such an answer, Caixiang was a little stunned, and Xi Luo even blurted out without thinking, "Is it just that simple?"

"It's just that simple. If you don't help, what's the use of having friends?"

"Hahahaha..." Caixiang held her stomach and laughed loudly.

Xi Luo looked at her suspiciously, and didn't think she said anything funny.

"It turned out to be such a simple reason." Caixiang stopped smiling and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Although I can't have more support, I will send a few men who are good at espionage to support Frank. .”

"Ah?" Xi Luo was stunned, thinking for a moment that she had heard it wrong.

"You heard that right," Caixiang put out her cigarette and stood up, "If my son is still alive, he and Ni Qiunan are good friends who grew up together. As you said, friends are in trouble, why? I'm not going to help."

Without letting Xiluo react, Caixiang turned and left with a smile.

"Al, the proprietress agreed!"

Seeing Al who came to her, Xi Luo threw herself into his arms happily.

"Well, that's great."

Al smiled and hugged Xi Luo.

The sun is setting and there are no clouds in the sky, which seems to confirm that tomorrow will be a good weather.
