Chapter 8: Moss
"Stray moss?" Mi Xiaoxiao felt disdainful when she heard this name, "Are you talking about a drama of a tortoise with moss on its back wandering around?" ”
"Aren't you celebrating the New Year? It's so boring to watch this kind of drama during the Chinese New Year. ”
Feeling Mi Xiaoxiao's contempt, Li Ling felt that he needed to explain: "Moss is a small plant with tenacious vitality, living in groups, and unable to survive independently. ”
"The film compares the human group to moss, working together to solve difficulties when there is an existential crisis, and trying to make the tortoises carrying moss move towards a new home."
"It turns out that it's really a story of a tortoise wandering with moss," Mi Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, she didn't expect that entertainment in this world is so scarce, and even such a drama will be watched, it seems that the life in this world will be a little boring in the future.
"I bought a ticket," Li Ling told Mi Xiaoxiao, "There is still a place for the ticket at ten o'clock, and I will sit in the middle of the fourth row." ”
"Whatever you want," Mi Xiaoxiao said that it didn't matter, even if there was a lack of entertainment in this world, you had to have some fun and pass the time.
But Mi Xiaoxiao was concerned about the rectangle in Li Ling's hand that would still glow, like a communication token, and what he meant just now was that he bought a ticket to the theater through this thing?
And the humans here seem to be one by one, as if they are controlled by this gadget, and they will always keep their heads down and nod from time to time.
With the gadgets attracting so much?
Or is this the essence of the "humans" here, their souls? Or do they all share the same soul?
Thinking of this, Mi Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of an existence called "Soul Snatcher" in her world, a terrifying race that expands and assimilates by dividing souls, and each individual is controlled by the same soul.
Since they are the same soul, they behave almost identically, so that they can know what the other is going through in an instant, even if they are thousands of miles apart; Because of their ability to divide their souls, this tenacious vitality has allowed them to escape the round-up again and again, and as long as one is left and not eliminated, it will not be long before a group will develop.
It's like moss.
And Li Ling wants to take himself to see a drama about moss.........
Thinking of this, Mi Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a chill that could not be stopped even by wearing a down jacket swept through her body, freezing her hands and feet cold, her hairs stood on end, and her scalp was numb.
The world is so scary!
"This thing is called a mobile phone," said Li Ling, who noticed Mi Xiaoxiao's gaze, and because of the lighting, he didn't notice Mi Xiaoxiao's face that looked a little pale due to careful consideration, and continued to explain:
"This is one of the crystallization of our human technology, with thousands of miles of sound transmission, images, sound preservation and other countless functions, it can even use it to pay, of course, if you want to use the payment function, you first have to deposit money in the bank........ The back hem of your down jacket is up, so windy, not cold? ”
"I said why did you suddenly feel a chill," Mi Xiaoxiao hurriedly put the back down and pulled hard, "Your clothes are too old, they are all rolled up." ”
It's not the chill from the soul, it's really because I'm thinking too much.
"So I've got to buy you new clothes, and I've got to buy you a mobile phone, this thing is a necessity for modern people, more important than a wallet."
"And then let this seat become like you with your head down and nod around, so as to achieve the goal of losing your mind because of this seat's playthings, so as to forget your dreams and ambitions?" Mi Xiaoxiao turned sideways to avoid passers-by who didn't forget to play with their mobile phones even when they were walking, and looked back at him kicking and stumbling on the stone steps, so she was a little more wary of things like mobile phones.
After all, she is the Demon Venerable who wants to occupy this world, if she forgets the original purpose because of the control of the mobile phone, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?
"Yes," Li Ling praised Mi Xiaoxiao's resolute attitude of resisting the erosion of mobile phones, "Then I'll buy you an ordinary one, you can only call and send messages." ”
Changing her to an old man machine of more than 100 yuan can save a lot of money.
"No, if you want to buy it, this seat should be the same as yours."
"But this kind of thing will make you play......."
"You can't play this seat, but you can't do without," Mi Xiaoxiao raised her head and smiled confidently, "As long as this seat doesn't indulge in this, isn't it?" ”
Li Ling knows, I'm relieved to have what you say, but I don't know if you can withstand the test of a variety of games, a variety of novels, and short videos full of earthy flavor.
........
The moving heads, the red lanterns, the knotted ropes, and the sound of Wishing you prosperity coming from the loudspeaker make people feel festive and happy.
"There are a lot of people," looking at the crowd of people who were still crowded, Mi Xiaoxiao stood at the entrance of the mall and didn't want to go in, "We must buy clothes here?" ”
"Is it much?" Li Ling asked rhetorically, "It's just the density of the general New Year's holiday, and there are many people at the train station and the summer comic exhibition during the Spring Festival, what is this much?" ”
"By the way, you can also wear this mask, like me."
"Why?" Mi Xiaoxiao strangely followed Li Ling's movements and put on a mask like a pig's nose, and she saw many people on the street, including people in the mall.
The customs here?
"Hmm....... This has to be said two years ago, it's a long story, it's hard to explain to you, but it's always right for you to wear it. ”
"I'm running out of breath!"
"It's just a mask, and your skin isn't dark, how can you not breathe? Come here, if you want to keep wearing my old rolled-up down jacket. ”
Hearing Li Ling's words, Mi Xiaoxiao pulled down and rolled it up, causing the down jacket to leak and make the back a little cold, which was also reasonable, and his old clothes had been pressed at the bottom of the box for too long, and there was a smell, which was not good.
Mi Xiaoxiao was a little glad that she used a lot of shower gel and shampoo when she took a bath just now, and the whole person was fragrant, completely covering up the smell of clothes, otherwise how embarrassing would it be if the stinky was smelled?
It's really me, so prescient.
After weighing it, Mi Xiaoxiao decided to endure it, endured the noisy crowd and walked into the mall with Li Ling, in order to avoid separation, Mi Xiaoxiao even grabbed the corner of Li Ling's clothes very insecurely, like a child who went out with an adult and looked at the unfamiliar environment with an uneasy face.
Only by being around familiar people can you feel a little safe.
Li Ling ignored Mi Xiaoxiao's behavior of grabbing the corners of his clothes, lost his strength, shrunk his body, and returned to a foreign country, it is normal to feel timid and afraid of being separated on crowded occasions, not everyone can come to a strange world like the protagonist of the novel and use the sky to mix like a fish in water.
Therefore, as an apprentice, I should take on the responsibility of protecting the master.
......
went to buy new clothes and a new mobile phone, looking arrogant and sitting, coupled with a colleague's inspection of nearby cameras, she was no different.
But she's a little weak, so weak that she is like an ordinary person, is she hiding too deep and has other plans or is she just like that?
Wu Ziping decided to look at the past, not only to observe the little girl, but also to observe the man, although he didn't look like a bad guy from his exposed eyes, and his temperament was also comfortable, just like the so-called sunny's big brother next door.
But who knows how easily he adopted a strange little girl for what purpose?
If he is really the kind of criminal man who cheats the little girl, Wu Ziping doesn't mind making a temporary cameo appearance with the police to arrest him into the police station.
Wu Ziping felt an inexplicable anger, perhaps because when she saw his naturally curly hair, she reminded her of the relationship with someone she knew.
