my old robot

The sky began to darken, and seeing that there was going to be a heavy rain, the poodle began to scratch the ground with its paws restlessly.Xiao Chenmo stopped what he was doing and looked at it strangely, "Abby?"

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the strong wind swept the entire dark cloud covering the entire sky.Abby the poodle finally sprang out from the corner and bit Xiao Chenmo's trouser leg, whining and pulling it out.

"Where are you taking me?"

Abby pulled his trouser legs and kept her mouth open, the moaning became heavier.

"Essex, I'll follow it to see."

Essex grabbed her hand, "I'll go with you."

The poodle ran fast in front, crossing the street and turning the alley, Xiao Chenmo followed behind, and stopped in front of an old apartment building after running all the way.

"Is it here?" Xiao Chenmo panted and asked it.

The poodle stuck to the ground and sniffed vigorously with its mechanical nose, all the way to the trash can at the corner of the apartment building.

"Wow woof woof." It barks at the trash can.

Xiao Chenmo didn't know what it was going to do, "What do you want? There's garbage over there."

"Wow, woof, woof." The poodle's barking was mixed with eagerness, and it scratched the bottom wall of the trash can with its paws. Its body was too small to reach the inside of the trash can.

Essex opened the lid of the trash can, and a stench came out. Cans, bento boxes, plastic, and some mushy instant noodles mixed with soaked hair filled the entire trash can to the brim.

"It's just some garbage." Xiao Chenmo covered his nose, and the people in this building threw all the domestic garbage into a bucket, completely ignoring the words recyclable and non-recyclable posted on the outside of the bucket.

"Wow, woof, woof, woof." Abby barked harder at the trash can, and it raised its two front paws to flip over to the can.

Essex kicked the trash can over, and countless rubbish spilled out and covered the ground. A dilapidated fuselage of a girl was dumped out among the rubbish.

"Wooooow..." The poodle jumped on the fuselage and licked it with its tongue.

It's that girl, it's already an abandoned machine.

"How can you throw the robot in the trash can at will." Xiao Chenmo was furious, even the discarded robots should be sent to the recycling plant for disposal, how can they be thrown away so casually.

He dialed the communication number of the recycling plant, and soon a recycling truck stopped in front of him.The staff got out of the car and took out tools to inspect the small robot on the ground. The inspection machine brushed across the fuselage, and he frowned.

"Sir." The other party's expression was blunt and his face was extremely bad. "Is this your robot?"

"No." Xiao Chenmo shook his head.

"Do you know whose robot this is?"

Xiao Chenmo shook his head again.

The inspectors used a mechanical catcher to pick up the little robot like a rag, and threw it into the recycling truck with a snap.

"Wow, woof, woof, woof." The poodle barked at the inspectors.

"Isn't this dog acquainted with that little robot?" He asked again.

Xiao Chenmo nodded this time.

"Very good. Little guy, you are responsible for leading the way. I want to find your master."

The poodle was not cooperative. It gritted its teeth at the inspector who snatched the little robot away, and let out a warning whirr from its throat.

"It's just a low-level machine." The threat detection personnel kicked it with disdain. He took out a machine controller from his bag and scanned the dog a few times. After a while, the dog was gone. Completely submissive, "Now, go to your master."

The puppy ran up the old apartment building, the inspectors followed closely behind it, and Xiao Chenmo also followed behind him.

"Mo." Essex pulled him back, it had a strong feeling of uneasiness, and this place made it feel strangely depressed.

"Essex, I want to go and see."

"It's none of our business."

"But that little girl was scrapped because she was abused. I want to find out why." Xiao Chenmo's eyes were determined without backing down.

Essex was defeated in his eyes, "Okay, I'll be with you."

A mechanical dog stops at the door of a house.The inspector raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door opened from the inside, and a greasy face poked out from behind the door, "Who is it? What are you doing?"

"Is this your robot?" The inspector called up the three-dimensional image of the small robot.

"No." The man flatly denied it.

"So, this is your dog?" He pointed to the curly-haired mechanical dog on the ground.

"No." The man denied again.

"Wow, woof," the poodle barked at him.

The inspector sneered.The man became furious and immediately opened the door, came out and kicked the dog fiercely, "Little beast, I should have smashed you long ago."

"I don't care if you are going to smash it now, you should pay double the cleaning fee for littering, should you pay it now or wait for the bank to deduct it directly from your account?"

"That machine doesn't belong to me." The middle-aged man said gruffly, "I won't pay the cleaning fee."

Xiao Chenmo was a little behind, and when he came up, he just heard this sentence. The middle-aged man was yelling at the inspectors with a bad attitude.

"No need to quibble, the owner registration record of the t838 robot is you."

"I am only the third owner, and its original owner is not me."

"The original owner is long gone. Since you are also one of the owners, you should pay for the cleaning expenses."

"Uncle." Xiao Chenmo interrupted the two people who were arguing, "I want to know why you abused that little robot?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man added fuel to the flames. He raised his fist and wanted to punch Xiao Chenmo's airs, but when he saw Essex behind Xiao Chenmo, he retracted his fist vigorously.

"Boy, think about it before you speak. Is there a word for robots?"

"It's covered in wounds, what is it if it's not abuse?"

"It's just a machine, I can do whatever I like, can you control it?"

Xiao Chenmo hates this kind of vulgar people extremely. They are extremely egotistical people. For them, robots are the cheapest replaceable items. Place is already at the bottom of society, "If you don't like it, why did you bring it back?"

"Boy, let me tell you, that machine was left by my aunt. It was one of her inheritances, and I inherited it, and I have kept it until now. But I have hated it for a long time, nothing Yes, what do I want it for?"

The little robot was bought by the middle-aged man's aunt and raised as a daughter. The little girl's fuselage is set so that she can only act like a baby and be obedient to adults, and it can't do anything.It is better for a man to keep one more property than nothing at the beginning. However, he did not realize how high the maintenance cost of a robot was until he actually started raising a robot.After spending the money his aunt left him, he could no longer afford to pay for the maintenance of the little robot. He began to dislike it. Such a small body can neither wash, cook, nor warm the bed. It is really useless. usefulness.He once wanted to use that machine to relieve his physical needs, but it couldn't even be used as a sex toy, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. He took a cigarette butt and scalded her bionic skin on the spot. Unexpectedly, the little robot still had With such a sensitive pain feeling, he was immediately excited, and since then he has often played various tricks to watch it whine in pain.

Xiao Chenmo became angry, "Since you don't like it, why didn't you refuse to inherit it from the beginning? Could it be that you started to dislike it because you spent all your inheritance and couldn't afford to support a robot?"

Xiao Chenmo's words just spoke of the most unbearable truth in a middle-aged man's foundation. He didn't care whether there was a robot nearly two meters tall standing behind him, and he just swung his fist and beat Xiao Chenmo.

Essex squeezed that ugly hand, and it glanced at him with cold eyes, which made the middle-aged man's heels numb, and he saw killing intent in its eyes.

Impossible, robots have machine laws, it is impossible for them to really kill me.The middle-aged man regained his half-sacred expression.

Essex squeezed his wrist bone and rattled, any more weight could really crush that hand bone.

"Essex." Xiao Chenmo grabbed its hand nervously, he was afraid that Essex would really hurt that person by himself.

"Get out!" Essex let go of the hand.

The middle-aged man took several steps back. His hands were hidden in his sleeves and trembled slightly. His wrists were so painful that they were starting to go numb, but he didn't dare to show the slightest pain.

The inspector only cares about whether he can receive the cleaning fee for the little robot today, but he doesn't care at all about whether it was abused and scrapped.He does the cleaning job, and he sees a lot of scrapped robots all year round. They all have various scrapping methods. The worst thing is that they are overused by humans on the bed, and they are not even lazy when they throw away. cover it up.

"I said, my time is very precious, and if you delay in your place, you will have to count additional lost wages. I advise you to pay the cleaning fee as soon as possible, so as to avoid more time and more money. "

"I have no money now." The middle-aged man said.If he had money, he wouldn't have thrown that robot into the trash can. At first, he thought that since he only inherited the property, maybe the owner's registration record would not have his own file.

"It doesn't matter." The inspector put on a professional smile on his face, "You can prepay the cleaning fee in the bank, and then you can pay it every month."

Xiao Chenmo and Essex walked back, his mind was still full of the dilapidated appearance of the little robot lying in the garbage dump.

"Essex." Xiao Chenmo lowered his head and hooked its fingers, "Are human beings very selfish?"

"Yes," Essex replied, "but not my Momo."

"I'm not as good as you said." Xiao Chenmo's voice was dejected.He has also abandoned robots before, and he has never seen with his own eyes how the discarded robots will be handled. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he just feels an inextricable pain stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.

"I followed my mother around the SR company since I was a child, and I only saw newly produced intact robots. But I don't know what the fate of those damaged machines abandoned by humans will be, will I be afraid? Yes Wouldn't it be hurt and sad?" His five fingers clasped Essex's hand firmly, "Essex, this is the first time I saw such a broken fuselage, it must be very painful, right? Its pain sensors are intact. Yes, its owner enjoys the pleasure of abusing it, and he takes pleasure in its pain all the time. How long has it been? One year? Two years? A robot is nothing more than a loss of cleaning bills. Essex, don't you think humans are ugly?"

"Yes," said Essex, "but not my Momo."

"Essex, I'm very sad. I could obviously hold her back and help her, but I let her run away."

"It's none of your business."

"But I'm just sad."

Essex hugged Xiao Chenmo into his arms, and its chin rested on his soft black hair, "At least, you can help Abby."

The poodle named Abby was squatting at Xiao Chenmo's feet, and it followed Xiao Chenmo all the way back to the door of the machinery shop.

Xiao Chenmo raised his arms to embrace Essex, and pressed his face against his chest to listen to its deep and powerful heartbeat, "Yes." He replied softly.

Shen Hai sat in the cafe and looked at the two people embracing on the road. The curtains of the cafe hid half of his face behind him. He lowered his head and took a sip of the human delicacy. Stuff is too much for a robot, it's just too bad for human taste.

Essex looked straight at it from the window, it put down the coffee in its hand and raised an eyebrow and smiled at it: "My gift, do you still like it?"

Essex frowned, with disgust in his eyes, it obviously understood what the deep sea wanted to express, it looked at the deep sea with a cold face: You arranged these?

How can I be so good?Shen Hai shrugged: I just let you see the truth, human beings are such hypocritical and disgusting creatures.

Deep Sea had known for a long time that the little robot was being abused by its owner, and it even kindly pointed out the newly opened mechanical repair shop when the little robot was crying with the poodle in its arms.

"But I don't have much money."

"The big brother who repairs the machine is a very cute human being. He will definitely not charge you a lot of money."

"Really?" The little robot's eyes were shining, and it thought that the robot in front of it must have never been to a human school, so it didn't know that the word kindness should be used instead of cute to describe a kind person, but it couldn't say This small mistake will not hurt this beautiful big brother, she stroked Abby's soft hair to comfort, "Abby, Abby, you can be alive and kicking like before, I'm so happy for you, if mom Will be happy still.”
