Section 25 Wilson's Expedition
The twenty-fifth day into the eternal world.
Woody caught a snowfinch with a bird's net, and he used the seed as bait, and the birds must have lacked food in the cold winter months, so the poor little fellow was caught in the net.
"It's like a sparrow," Willow said, holding the bird in her hand, "except for the color." ”
"What shall we do with it?"
"Passerine-Sparrow-Flyer-Chirp."
"Leave it behind, we just need a bird." The old woman said, "Make a birdcage, and the birds should stay in the cage." ”
Woody was a man of action, and he and Wolfgang hammered and hammered the birdcage before lunch. The snowfinch is kept in a cage and placed near the cooking pot.
The grandmother also gave Woody a miner's hat, a hat that uses fireflies as fuel, which is as unusual as the WX-78 robot that doesn't need to consume electricity. Wilson wanted to ask a question, but he held it back in his stomach.
The reason why the miner's hat was given to Woody was because the old Woody couldn't hold back the mood to go out, staying at the base these days, he was bored, he chopped wood to relieve anxiety when he had nothing to do, and the wood stored in the autumn was now a pile of firewood piled up on a hill. Wolfgang said he could go out with Woody and that there would be no danger for the two of them together. The old grandmother made the miner's hat as soon as possible, allowing Woody and Wolfgang to go out and explore.
Wilson wants to get out too, but who's going to go with him all the way? Willow refused to go out in the winter; The little spider is a child; Vigford was lazy, and it was strange that she kept saying that she was going to a court banquet; Chef Wally and his grandmother obviously won't go out; So it can only be WX-78.
The robot promised to collaborate with Wilson. Honestly, where exactly did the WX-78's IQ come from? For example, when deciding whether to go out with Wilson, how did he choose?
I can't delve into it, there are so many strange things that it might be an excellent quality not to ask.
Before leaving, Grandma took care of Wilson and WX-78's backpacks, and she brought them enough fuel and food. Before he could set off, his backpack was full, and Wilson waved his hand, refusing to allow the grandmother to load him with other items. Adults are always worried about children.
"Come back as soon as possible!" Willow says goodbye to Wilson, and the little spider says goodbye to him with a toy.
The robot said "don't worry" without emotion, and Wilson and they headed north.
Wilson walked through the pond, from the meadow with cattle to the north, and by this time it was already night, and he and the robot lit a campfire and slept against the cows, which Wilson had always thought gave people a great sense of security.
Continuing to set off at dawn, the robot probably won't feel tired, he doesn't cry out about being tired, and he doesn't ask how far he has to go, which is much better than being with Willow. But Wilson still wanted to go with the loud girl.
The northern steppe is bordered by two different terrains, one swampy and one lawn. According to the little spider, the swamp is inhabited by fishmen, and his friend Walter lives in the swamp with his family, but Walter's family hates anything but fishmen, and the swamp has "murderous tentacles". So Wilson didn't choose to go to the swamp, he had lunch with the robot on the spot, and built a fire to keep warm, that's how it is in winter, it's easy to feel cold, not to mention that they are still wearing thin clothes, and the only thing to keep out the cold is the winter hat.
Heading towards the lawn, the environment here is similar to the base, with the only difference being that there are a lot of beehives. At a glance, there are bee nests everywhere, and some beehives are different from the surroundings, and a group of menacing killer bees will "buzz" out as soon as they get close, but as long as they flee immediately, there will be no danger in carefully avoiding this kind of hive.
At night again, Wilson and the robot spend the night hiding under a giant beehive and building a bonfire. This hive is really a big one, who knows how many bees are hidden in it, this must be the largest bee colony, and you can clearly hear the "buzzing" of the bees in the hive when you sleep at night.
This time it was a "long trip away from home", since he had lived with his grandmother and other companions, Wilson had never been so far away, and it was during the dangerous winter. But Wilson is not a child, nor is he a Vess, after all, he should be able to take care of himself, and moreover, take care of others.
