Chapter 885: All We Have Is This
Barnard was the most prestigious person in town, and he was arguably the most well-informed elder in the area, which could be judged by the fact that he could see at a glance that we were not tourists from the big city, but in the end, his insight could only stay at the level of ordinary people.
Even considering the overall status quo of this worldly world, Old Man Barnard's shrewdness and sophistication may not be as good as Uncle Wang in any corridor on the earth, I have always believed that there is an Uncle Wang in the depths of every residential building and alley on the earth, as firm as faith.
After all, Barnard has been dealing with metal stations all his life, in this poor and remote place, all members of society are only metal sorters, there is nothing to think about every day except for working and going to the food synthesizer to get quotas, a person has not had a few opportunities to intrigue in his life, he can see real big city people and high-level ships is purely because he has lived long enough, but it has nothing to do with shrewdness. Therefore, Barnard made a big mistake when judging our identities: he was frightened by his own speculation, and then everything was taken for granted, without thinking carefully about whether it was necessary to be so open and honest with our group of strangers, and said everything that should be said and what should not be said, of course, he may have also thought about it, and what he said was something that could be found out with a little attention, and I am afraid that there was more than one person in the town who knew that Old Glick was on the "Hope", and Barnard didn't say much, Naturally, there is nothing that should not be said.
And in fact, according to the rules of this world, Barnard treats us as special agents from the big city, and it is not lacking in heart, after all, our group of people don't look like they live on a garbage dump.
It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to walk around in the garbage heap in such shiny and expensive clothes, all the resources of this world are not easy to come by, the output of every synthesis factory is capped, luxury goods such as gorgeous clothes can only be given priority to the residents of Dayutthaya, and it is impossible to find the same thing in other parts of the world world, just like you can never find a nuclear factory in a place called Dawangzhuang Village. In this way, it became an indisputable fact that we were from the big city, and then my sister was very generous in giving Glick a self-discipline machine: Glick is a small one
The child may not be aware of it yet, but Barnard, a well-informed old man, knows very well how precious an unfaulted ancient machine is, a treasure that needs to be closely guarded for any collective, anywhere, not to mention that the self-disciplined machine looks so new, its smooth surface is almost as if it had just come off the production line, and it can carry such a thing with him, and has the right to give it to a commoner child at his own discretion, which only an official of the great city can do, as if on earth, Even if you don't bring your ID card, walking on the street and seeing people will stuff more than half a catty of more than 100 yuan bills, needless to say, everyone also knows that you are a rich man, whether you can get out of half the street alive, you are a rich man, this is the most powerful thing to prove your identity, in this world, ordinary people are impossible to be the same as our group, just like on the earth, a salaryman said nothing, and threw more than half a catty of banknotes when he saw people, even if you threw a steel jump, I am afraid that the income of a year is not enough for you to walk 200 meters......
Old Man Barnard was right, the only mistake was that he overestimated the attention that Old Glick might attract from the top.
A plumbing repairman at the bottom of the ship, and a few years ago a metal sorter who could only pick up discarded parts in the garbage, such a small horned sè is destined to not attract the attention of any special agent, who is concerned about the big horned sè, such as the captain of a battleship or the first officer and the second officer, how can he go to the trouble of traveling long distances to find the son of a plumbing repairman? Cao Cao asked Zhou Yu to burn half of his house, and he went back to chop up Jiang Gan at most, do you think he would trouble the soldiers who nailed chains to the ship at that time? What's more, the little soldier was burned to death......
Sandora's casual remarks and a little bit of psychological cue managed to put Barnard, who seemed nervous, at ease, and believed that we wouldn't take the little boy named Glick with us. Then, out of curiosity, my sister asked the other party a little bit about Grek and the water droplets.
After all, the two of them are now orphans (only we know exactly that), and we have the same spaceship that their father worked on in the last part of his life, and we may even meet the old Glick, the plumber with the ambition to find the New World, maybe one of the remains that Visker and I saw when we entered the wreck of the Hope, so everyone thinks that those two children are related to us. I'd also like to know more about them.
"Little Glick is the eldest child in town, and he will be fourteen years old in a few months" Barnard knew that we would not take Glick away, and he seemed relieved, this honest and honest old man who had lived in the back of his life in the middle of nowhere, and he really cared for Glick like a little grandson" He was different from other children, probably due to his father's influence, that child always liked to wander around the mechanical stacking area of the metal station, where the adults worked, and children rarely went there at this age. Little Glick usually likes to pick up some strange parts and go home, and then assemble all kinds of strange gadgets himself, such as a projector that can play images, and the church even sent someone to copy some video materials from him to study the Age of the Gods. He was also a little cranky, but not as serious as his father, but some of the child's thoughts were indeed sensational. He even worries that one day those ancient synthesis machines will malfunction, and even worries that the material materials generated from the underground factories will one day be exhausted, this kind of whimsical thing makes people cry and laugh, but fortunately he is only a child, if adults still have this kind of thought, it is a terrible sin.
As for Shui Zhu, she is an ordinary little girl completely, but usually she doesn't like to talk too much, and sometimes she is so quiet that people will ignore her, she is Glick's sister, but she has a completely different xìng son from Glick, just like her light blue sè eyes that are different from her brother, Water Drop is a special case of Glick's family. Maybe God sees that there are two generations of unconscious guys in Gorrik's family, so let the water droplets be born to balance it, haluha. ”
Old man Barnard said, and he couldn't help laughing, my sister and I also have a deep understanding of this, Glick is a bear child who is constantly enthusiastic about problems, and his sister is simply the other extreme, quiet and quiet, and when we are guests at her house, the child can even be so quiet that people can't help but ignore its existence, and I'm afraid even Pandora can't compare to her in this regard: after all, although Pandora is a three-nothing with a straight face, at least that girl will always have an occasional drop in her stomach......
When we said goodbye to Barnard, we said that we might stay here for another two days, and we didn't say much about the reason, just to reassure the old man that we definitely didn't intend to hurt two ordinary children.
The party of the town is over, and the dull and boring daily life makes even the only entertainment in this world so boring and short, but these are all things to us, and the townspeople are satisfied, as if it is enough to gather together to brag about the poor taste of cement and eat some inferior snacks that taste like cement, and the children are even more happy, and they are even more happy, they are rolling around in the dirty steel streets with inferior desserts in their hands, and they are dirty, but none of the adults come out to scold them, and that's enough to make them cheer.
In any world, children are much closer to happiness than adults.
The artificial light source in the sky has dimmed and only a vague orange sè ring, like an annular solar eclipse, which is the fusion sun using the residual heat and light radiation from the reactor to provide night lighting for the ground, we return to Glick's hut and find that the hut is lit up with warm orange sè lights, and the two children have already returned home.
They are really different from ordinary children, the younger sister Droplet, who is too quiet, and goes home to sit in a daze after finishing the game with her peers early, while Glick is worried about the broken parts he has collected: the self-disciplined machine named "Doodoo" stays at home to fix those things, and Glick can't wait to come back to see what his baby has become new.
Well, the "Answer" case was very overjoyed, when we came back, the self-discipline machine with super high efficiency was calmly wiping the front end of the armor of a brand-new individual fighter, so of course it was impossible to put a big thing in the house, so "Dudu" also demolished one of the walls of Glick's house by the way, so that the fighter's head could stick in from the outside, but Glick himself didn't seem to care about the tragic demolition of his house......
I'm convinced that the reason why the autonomic machine didn't assemble an Optimus Prime was because it didn't dare to tear down the town.
Of course, I wondered what kind of material it was made of to assemble such a big thing, and anyway, I didn't believe that the parts that Glick had piled up in the room and at the back of the room were just enough to assemble a fighter jet, and even if all those things were turned into water, I am afraid that they would not be enough to cast a set of fighter jets with a deck. In response to our question, "Dudu" pointed to the metal sorting station not far from the town with his mechanical arm, so everyone knew the source of the material for this thing.
Facts have proved that it will take a long time for this self-disciplined machine, which still maintains the ideology of the emperor's factory, to understand this world.
Of course, a child like Gorrik can't be moved by something that is extremely dangerous for civilians like a single fighter plane, but everyone really doesn't want to disappoint this tǐng likable child, so Sandora had to dismantle the fire start module of the aircraft without knowing what to do, but that's how I still don't think it's safe, in this poor and remote place, a clear and bright Imperial fighter is as conspicuous as the jingle on a bald head, I don't think it's fun to have a kid use something like this as a toy.
"It's okay!" As soon as Glick heard what I said, he immediately became anxious, and shouted very loudly, waving his hand vigorously, "I'll protect this!" And no one dares to snatch other people's supplies, this is stipulated by the church, and it is a felony to snatch the quota of resources......"
Lin Xue glanced at the other party: "The question is, will you drive this thing?" If nothing else, do you know how to get into the cockpit? Do you know how to replenish it? Do you know how often its brake pads are oiled? He tugged at my arm simply: "Ah Jun, do you use oil on the brake pads of the fighter jet?" Lou had a black line on his face: "Does the fighter have brake pads?" Glick lowered his head in frustration, and the questions Lin Xue said sounded like heavenly books to him.
"Well, but maybe" I glanced at Glick, and then thought that he was now an orphan, and it was not easy for such a small child to take his sister to depend on each other, so I naturally had some ideas in my heart, so I changed the conversation, "Maybe it's okay for you to leave this." Ahem, don't be busy shouting, I just said it's possible, and you'll know in two days. ”
I think very simply, Glick and the water bead brother and sister are also destined for everyone, if it weren't for the old Glick's spaceship crashed on Mars, we wouldn't have found this world that grew in the grave, and here, the first person we met happened to be the son of one of the members of that spaceship, maybe there really is a certain number in the dark.
In this case, I feel that I may not be able to leave without being able to leave, not to mention how to deal with this world, at least Glick and Shuizhu brothers and sisters, they should arrange their own arrangements.
Even if it is treated as an orphan of a fallen soldier~ Although Old Grek is only a plumber, a plumber who still longs for a new world in such a closed world is enough to be called a warrior, this is the consensus of Sandora and me.
Glick seemed very excited, and even though we unknown fellows had only known him for half a day, he had already made this child, who had no experience in the world, a friend and even a savior, a savior who brought him out of the boredom of everyday life, so he began to invite us to dinner at home very warmly: the hymn party was not a meal, dinner was to be eaten after the party.
"Because there are guests in the big city, Grandpa Barnard gave us a lot of food, this is something to entertain the guests" Grek asked his sister Shuizhu to hurry up and prepare the food, and said to us happily "By the way, Grandpa Barnard said that guests from Ayutthaya can't live in shantytowns, and he said that you should rest in the best house in town......"
"No need, we have a place to rest," Mu Xue hurriedly waved his hand, "You forget, we have space equipment, and we carry the transportation and even accommodation utensils that we need when we travel outside." Glick, who had limited knowledge of space equipment, was fascinated by it.
The water bead brought what she had been assigned from the food synthesizer, and the silent little girl laboriously placed a large metal box on the table, and the sound of Sandora grinding her teeth rang out almost instantaneously, and we followed with curiosity to lean over and take a look, not that we had any expectations for the food of this world, but only slightly curious about what the food would be for the guests here.
But just one glance, everyone let out a sigh of disappointment: what appeared in front of us were dozens of neatly stacked gray and white rectangular squares, just like the things that the water droplets gnawed on before.
In this place, this compressed organic matter is the only thing that can be eaten?
"What's wrong?" Glick gave us a strange look, then took out a rectangular cube from the box and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching and biting, "Except for the soft glue for very small children, these grains are staple foods, isn't that the case in big cities?" Shallow stuck out her tongue, curiously picked up a piece of food and put it under her nose and sniffed it, and found that it didn't smell at all, then put it in her mouth and took a bite, and then she decisively stuffed it to Sandora.
I tasted it out of curiosity, and it turned out that Sandora had an extra piece of the unknown food in her hand.
The taste is rough, tasteless, and even has a slightly fishy and salty mechanical taste, eating in the mouth is like a piece of rusty chalk head, if this is all the food in this world, then Poison Island took a bite of this plaster-like food, stuck out his tongue mischievously at me, and said with a spiritual connection: "Brother, I think zombie-infested cities are much better than this world." ”
It's very obvious that no one in the family can adapt to this food, they are simply terrible!
Well, in this case, Sandora is an undoubted exception, she is a magical girl who can eat tons of reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs with tomato sauce, not to mention the gypsum food in her hand, when everyone said that she couldn't accept this thing, she took on the corner of the rice bucket again without delay, but it was surprising that another person who could also eat these things without changing her face: lìlìna, she actually ate a palm-sized "chalk pastry" as usual
"Was it a surprise?" Lìlìna tiǎn glanced at us with the "white ash" at the corner of her mouth, "I have even eaten soil." ”
I couldn't help but gently press the other party's little head, and the latter suddenly squinted his eyes comfortably: "Hawkers, it's over, now it's time to remember the bittersweet ......" The "guest" in front of me doesn't like these foods, even if Glick is just a child, he can easily see this, so he suddenly looked very restrained and embarrassed, his face was not good, and even the water droplets that looked a little dull lowered their heads: "I'm sorry, but we only have this"
At this time, I really felt guilty, I believe that everyone has this thought, so my sister immediately patted the shoulders of the two children one by one, and said apologetically: "Don't do this, it's our fault, but ......" "We are guests, and there are many disturbances, so in this case, we should take out the food" Lin Xue is worthy of being a high-IQ eldest lady, and the excuse to find one is called a fast, as soon as the words fell, she took out from her carry-on space and couldn't help but want to take it out. All kinds of snacks brought from the other side of the earth.!.
