The little girl was weak.

Hearing the sound of Wu Qing approaching, the little girl immediately moved her body behind the trunk of the tree, and her right hand also gently flicked the branch beside her.

Knowing that the extra leaves could not really obscure the visitor's vision, the girl tried her best to steady her arm holding the branch, but she couldn't help shaking, and the leaves rustled.

Watching the stranger get closer and closer, go straight to the bottom of the tree, and then look up at herself, the girl's eyes were full of panic, she let go of the branch with her right hand, hugged the trunk tightly, and with her left hand clutched the short wooden spear that her brother had stuffed into her hand before leaving.

Pointing the short wooden spear at the stranger under the tree, the little girl tensed up, waiting for the most critical moment to come.

In this simple world, meeting strangers outside the tribe in the wild is no different from meeting large carnivores, compared to the size gap between herself and strangers, the little girl is becoming more and more desperate, the only thing she can pray for now is that the tribe where this stranger is located must not reach the civilization height of the former Dashi tribe, so that before she becomes food, at least she can save the barbecue process.

At this time, behind the stranger, a familiar figure walked out.

"River grass! I'm back, I'm back with water! Turning the corner and seeing his sister's vigilance, the big stone fox was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained: "Don't be afraid of the river grass, this is the Qing of the Wu tribe, he saved me." ”

My brother is back! Dashihecao immediately let go of his hands, let the short spear fall, and quickly climbed down the tree and rushed into the arms of the big stone fox.

Holding the big stone river grass for a while, and when he raised his head again, he saw Wu Qing with a smile on his face and looked at himself patiently, and the big stone fox hurriedly pulled the big stone river grass to Wu Qing's side: "River grass, Qing is willing to let us join their tribe temporarily, we have a tribe again!" ”

Tribe...... Do we have a tribe again?

Hearing this familiar, warm, meaning water, food, and safety, although she hadn't drunk water for nearly three days, Dashihecao's eyes were moist in an instant, her eyes looked at Wu Qing expectantly, her chapped lips trembled slightly, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak, as if she was afraid that if she said it, everything in front of her would be disillusioned.

"Your brother is right." Wu Qing continued to smile and nodded slightly: "Let's drink water first, rest for a while, and I'll see your physical state." ”

……

Ten minutes later, the big stone fox and the big stone river grass sat under the big tree, according to Wu Qing's request, raised their heads, opened their eyes, opened their mouths, stretched out their tongues, raised their hands, took deep breaths, held their chests up, and puffed up...... Wait a minute......

When doing this, the two of them were honest and very cooperative, and there was still a little nervousness in their expressions, for fear that they would not do a good job and destroy this sacred ritual of joining the tribe.

Fortunately, during the whole process, Wu Qing's calm and gentle expression relaxed their nervous and expectant mood a lot.

"Is this a visual inspection?" After looking at it quietly for a while, Changxing asked, "Civilization has developed to the time of Wu Xiaoqing, and health technology should already be a fairly professional discipline, right?" ”

"Yes." Wu Qing replied: "One of the strictest practice qualifications. ”

"So, now it's another Wu Xiaoqing operating?"

"Yes." Wu Qing nodded.

"But you can still communicate with me," the curiosity hidden deep in the citizens of advanced civilizations made Changxing involuntarily want to know more technical details: "The multi-person operation does not seem to affect the brain and thinking of your body. ”

"The multi-person operation really does not affect my brain and thinking, but is the deep-rooted attachment to the sacredness and uniqueness of the body, or affects your cognition." As he spoke, Wu Qing turned his head and looked at Changxing intently, but the movements of the two children in his hands were not affected in the slightest: "In the cognition of natural intelligent creatures, the mind and soul of life must be connected with the body, but this is not the case. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean," Wu Qing raised his hand in the interval of another inspection, pointed to the sky again, and then to the earth: "Have you ever thought that my thinking doesn't necessarily need to be here?" ”

"Ah, you mean......" Changxing shook suddenly.

"Yes." Wu Qing nodded, "I'm not as you imagined, the soul is projected into this body, and then when more specialized skills are needed, let other companions temporarily devote themselves to this body." ”

"As a soldier of interstellar warfare, you should have experienced such simulation training: a group of people sit in a war room, each person has an operating platform in front of them, and when the instructor explains a certain battle scene, let each battleship commander go to the stage to actually practice, and these battleship commanders, when remotely controlled, use the same spaceship and experience the same combat scene...... The specifics of how we manipulate this body are a bit more complicated, but the basic principle is similar. ”

"Therefore, it is not that I have not projected into this body, nor have any other 'Wu Xiaoqing' to seize this body, but that I and the other Wu Xiaoqing are in the same operating space, at different stages, according to different needs, to use this Wu Xiaoqing civilization public property."

"That is to say," Hearing this, Changxing also involuntarily looked at the sky: "You are not here now, but in the search and rescue ship......"

"Not so receptive?" Wu Qing asked.

"It's a little hard." Changxing admitted.

"Then I'm sorry," Wu Qing suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed expression, which instantly made Changxing have an ominous premonition: "Have you ever thought that you are actually not here either." ”

"Huh? Yes?? Yes!!! ”

"You are the same as me now, the real body is actually in the search and rescue ship, and now this body is ......" said, Wu Qing gently poked Changxing's squirrel belly with his finger: "It is customized by the search and rescue ship, and through the high-speed communication platform of the search and rescue ship, real-time control and real-time feedback are carried out." ”

"This ...... This ......"

"Don't worry." Wu Qing hurriedly said: "Your body was imprisoned and interrogated by the previous federal government for a long time, although the physical body was not subjectively abused, but the psychological pressure still had a negative impact on your body, coupled with the experience of being quick-frozen, the imperfect technology has caused permanent damage to your body, after we took you back from the federal government, the search and rescue team suggested that we make rehabilitation adjustments to your body." ”

"Oh......" Changxing breathed a sigh of relief.

As Wu Qing just said, as a member of the "natural wisdom civilization", it is one thing to technically understand the current perception and use methods of the "Wu Xiaoqing" body, and it is another thing to accept it psychologically.

Told that the body he was using now was not the original, a novel feeling came to Changxing's heart, and he climbed down from Wu Qing's body, walking here and there, grabbing the leaves and smelling them, stepping on the dirt hard, closing his eyes and feeling the breath of the wind deeply.

Wu Qing continued to check on the two children, and did not disturb Changxing's experience, and the two children did not dare to disturb the performance of this strange squirrel in the ritual of joining the tribe. - For a sufficiently backward civilization, an intelligent creature that is obviously incompatible with its own size, or even its family, is more acceptable than a relatively developed civilization.

After a while, Changxing himself returned to Wu Qing and the others.

"The content of the current examination," Watching Wu Qing examine the bodies of the two children again, the primitive environment, the simple process, but there seemed to be an extra sense of sacredness in it, and Changxing's voice was much more serious: "Is it also for the next rehabilitative adjustment for them?" ”

"Of course not." Wu Qing shook his head: "The civilization we came from, this way of bare hands, visual inspection, inquiry, and inspection, the accuracy has always been very low, in fact, with our modern medicine, without the help of instruments, unless it is a particularly urgent situation, or an extremely obvious disease, no doctor dares to diagnose it." ”

"And what are you?"

"The search and rescue ship is scanning the physical details of the two children, and it will take some time." Wu Qing pointed to the sky, and then pointed to himself: "As for me, being idle is also idle, it is better to practice the diagnosis when there are no tools and instruments." ”

"Uh," Gao Dashang's speculation fell back to reality, and Changxing hurriedly changed the topic to alleviate the embarrassment: "After the search and rescue ship has finished scanning, you can treat these two children?" ”

"Not a treatment, but a backup."

"What do you mean by backup?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but you can see it right away," Wu Qing stood up and asked the two children again: "Big Stone Fox, Big Stone River Grass, are you sure you want to go with me?" This means that you will leave the home where you were born almost forever. ”

"Yes, we'll go with you." The big stone fox and the big stone river grass nodded without hesitation, for them, compared to the actual tribe, the so-called concept of homeland of the advanced civilization was completely meaningless.

"Let's go, then." As he spoke, Wu Qing moved his gaze to Changxing: "Are you ready?" Next stop, Planet Museum, W-73-CR5 Primitive Civilization Branch. ”
