Chapter 31: Two Springs Reflecting the Moon
ββMenao City, Don't Forget Xuanββ
By the time I got to the cafΓ©'s door, night had fallen.
There was a beggar artist playing erhu at the door, and Bai Xiaoyi could vaguely hear that the tune was the blind Ah Bing's Erquan reflecting the moon, and the melancholy melody was wafting in the air with the wind.
The beggar artist was dressed in a coarse cloth coat, with long hair, and sunglasses, and looked shabby but not dirty.
The artist sits on a small stool next to a QR code for a tip.
The display screen projected by the air above the artist, there are many people constantly brushing the barrage.
"Sharp Gora is so powerful, I love you, Miss Fairy has been rewarded for 10 minutes~"
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyi almost couldn't help laughing, "This person who sent the barrage is also a talent." β
Then there is another one, "Brother Guan Yingyu is sharp, it is difficult to go under the drift ice of the Throat Spring, Bo Gutong is watching the live broadcast today, and he has been rewarded for 1 hour since ancient times." β
"Heh, this brother is also a talent." The beggar artist on the opposite side kept signaling Bai Xiaoyi to reward, but Bai Xiaoyi kept pretending not to see it, thinking that I was a child, and I had to reward for watching the live broadcast.
Bai Xiaoyi stood outside the door and didn't enter for a long time, closed his eyes, and slowly felt the melody of the music.
"Bread with milk, perfect for dinner~"
"(βoβ) Wow, local tyrant, you eat bread with milk, it's really rich and oily~ Lululu."
There was a constant barrage of bullets on the display screen projected by the air.
Bai Xiaoyi opened his eyes, the artist's face was already purple, and he kept throwing his head at the QR code next to him, signaling Bai Xiaoyi to hurry up and reward.
Bai Xiaoyi walked to the opposite side and scanned the artist's QR code.
Ding Dong, the reward arrived, and the other party's display screen showed that Bai Xiaoyi had rewarded for 0.520 seconds.
The artist glared at Bai Xiaoyi fiercely, and directly pushed back the 0.520 seconds.
"Hehe, both of you are talents." Caron watched Bai Xiaoyi's reward from behind.
"0.520 seconds, it's not time, it's light and affectionate, and besides, I never gave a reward when I watched live broadcasts before."
"Wow, the anchor gives the audience a return time, this is the first time I've seen this kind of thing." Feige giggled, too.
The artist saw that Bai Xiaoyi was a poor ratio, and then turned his gaze to Fei Qi, and kept throwing his head in the direction of the QR code, signaling Fei Qi to reward.
"Uh-huh, I'll see that." Bai Xiaoyi and Caron turned their gaze to Feiqi.
I saw Feige light an oversized cigar and hold it in his mouth, with the tip of a knife in the palm of his left hand, and his head tilted slightly towards 35Β°, like a very old boy who is ready to beat people.
The live broadcast artist opposite immediately twisted his head to the side in a playful manner, and no longer signaled Feige to give a reward. The short knife in Feiqi's palm was immediately retracted.
"Let's go inside." Feige's eyes were slightly closed, and the smoke from the burning cigar drifted up his face, in the style of a big brother.
"Let's go inside!" Bai Xiaoyi poked Fei Qi's head fiercely, Fei Qi's head was pressed forward at once, and the image of the wise and martial boss was immediately destroyed in front of the beggar artist.
Feige's face began to look ugly, and when he entered, a not-so-blunt smile was evident from the corner of the artist's mouth.
After entering the Forget-Me-Not Forget Xuan, Bai Xiaoyi sat alone at a table waiting for his younger brother's arrival, while Caron and Feige sat alone at a table waiting for Bai Xiaoyi.
After a while, a man in a black coat walked into the coffee house, his bloated figure, his facial features were almost rubbed together, and the hair on his head was almost gone.
The man looked around, as if he was looking for something, this person was Bai Xiaoyi's younger brother.
"Brother Bai, I'm here." Bai Xiaoyi shouted excitedly at his younger brother.
I saw that the man turned his head in response, and there was a surprised expression on his face at first, and then a look of surprise.
"Brother, how did you make it like this, so developed, and actually changed to such a young body." The man said and immediately sat opposite Bai Xiaoyi.
"It's been a long time, and you're plump again." Bai Xiaoyi smiled.
"Well, I've had 8 liposuctions and 25 intermittent diets in the past six months. But it didn't work at all, it immediately rebounded, what are you doing now, it's so developed. β
The other party's face was excited, and he felt like he was about to get rich.
"Actually, to be honest, I'm poor jingle now, and I've only had two days to store this body now." Bai Xiaoyi's mood suddenly became gloomy, "In addition, I have encountered a lot of troubles, but you don't have to worry about me, I will exist with you in another way." I'm leaving, I want to come and see you Brother Bai one last time. β
The other party was also silent, and only spoke after a while: "Brother, I'm sorry, I can't help you, you know my situation." β
Toot toot, a prompt sound came from Brother Bai's body, "Ah, it's time for me to purify." β
Bai Xiaoyi saw that the other party took out a small box, which contained worms like locusts, and the other party shook all the insects in the box into the palm of his hand.
I saw that the other party suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes were closed, and he could clearly see the other party's painful expression, and after a while, those locust-like worms disappeared in the palm of his hand.
"I'm really sorry, I have viral lipids, and my digestive system is not very good, so it is difficult to relieve the condition by taking medicine. These bugs are called biomissiles, they only have a lifespan of 27 hours, and they reproduce slowly, and they can help me effectively lower the blood lipids of the virus and allow my body to evolve. β
Bai Xiaoyi knows that this disease is not difficult to treat at all, as long as you change a pair of mechanical organs and a new set of artificial blood, it is enough, but for many poor people who do not have time, this is still a life-threatening disease.
Bai Xiaoyi was silent, and his heart kept dripping blood. Before leaving, the other party gave Bai Xiaoyi a sum of time, but Bai Xiaoyi did not accept it.
Meanwhile, Feige, who was sitting at another table, was chatting happily with a waitress in the store. The waiter wears a tight short shirt on the upper body and a short skirt on the lower body.
Feige's eyes stared at the other party's white thighs, "You robot's skin is so good. β
"Really? You are welcome to come back from now on. Sir, you are really the coolest man I've ever met, are you free tonight? My name is Lisa. As she spoke, the waitress gave Feige a wink, her fingers rubbing over her white thighs.
"Gone." Caron sent a spirit virus to Feiqi, Feiqi sneezed heavily, and when he turned his head, he found that Caron and Bai Xiaoyi had already walked to the door, and Feiqi hurriedly chased him out.
"You think we're here to pick up girls." Bai Xiaoyi felt that Fei Qi's seduced look just now was simply cute.
"But I really had a heartbeat just now." Feige muttered, and couldn't help but look back again.
"Haha, is it possible that robots will also fall in love? It's the first time I've heard of it, and it's really the first thing in the world. Bai Xiaoyi was amused and laughed, completely forgetting the sad incident just now, "Brother Long, you are also a robot, is it possible that you will also be moved?" Bai Xiaoyi tilted his head and asked Karon curiously.
"No, I don't have the heart to experience this complicated feeling." Caron strode forward.
"Also, how could a robot be. I'm curious to know what it's like to be without perception. Bai Xiaoyi looked at Caron with a smile, and his tone was full of mockery.
"Heh, it's no feeling, it's not no feeling, can't you experience the body without feeling right away?" Feige chased after him, hurriedly defending the robot.
"If you don't feel it, it doesn't mean that we don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but you humans have only a skin of perception, but you gnaw on human blood steamed buns every day, it's ridiculous." Caron stopped and said to Bai Xiaoyi behind him in a cold tone.
"But this is only a very small minority, and it is not representative of all of humanity." Bai Xiaoyi defended himself palely.
"A group of people who have a bad conscience, regard life as a mustard, only care about money, who cares about human life, where are you human beings who claim to be noble in the face of interests?" Caron's language went straight to the depths of Bai Xiaoyi's soul.
A heart was beating wildly in his bony chest, and Bai Xiaoyi could clearly feel the feeling of interrogating his soul.
"Human blood steamed bun" is a new term invented by Lu Xun more than 260 years ago, and it is still quoted by countless people. The term has been passed down through the ages, perhaps not because of how high-end it is, but because ignorance has always been there, just constantly changing its new coat.
In fact, sometimes Bai Xiaoyi does not dare to agree, this is the disadvantage that the development of civilization will bring, or the stagnation of civilization.
The contrast between the highly prosperous city centre and the slums on the edge of the world is enormous.
Bai Xiaoyi remembered that he had seen a paper book spread out in the history museum, and there was such a sentence on it that impressed Bai Xiaoyi: "The trip to the avenue, the world is for the public." It seems to describe the ideal society in the hearts of the ancients, and later Bai Xiaoyi also looked up information on the Internet, and in previous centuries, the society of "the great harmony of the world" has always been regarded as the highest goal of pursuit.
But today's world is completely different poles, and prosperity and desolation form an extreme contrast.
"Maybe, you're right, Brother Long." Bai Xiaoyi stopped and did not refute again, recalling all the things he had come along the way, he always felt that there was something missing in this world, but at least he was sure that this world was not lacking in time and energy, although he was very poor now.
This inexplicable sense of vacancy made Bai Xiaoyi more determined that he was ready to immigrate to Lante Superstar with Caron, he didn't know where this sense of vacancy came from, and he didn't know what was in his heart, this gloomy sense of fear made him feel desperate more than desperate.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, little brother?" Fei Qi patted Bai Xiaoyi on the back a few times from behind, and Fei Qi and Caron turned around together to look at Bai Xiaoyi who was stunned at the door.
"It's okay, I don't have any wishes, go back and give me a different mechanical body, compared to living in this world full of poison, there is no feeling, maybe it is the most perfect experience."
In the dark night like thick ink, the sad mood and the high-spirited and indignant erhu music were drifting wantonly in the wind, Bai Xiaoyi quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes through the street lamp, and continued to walk forward.
