——42 -
Ms. dolai was stunned.
A moment later, she slowly raised her arm and caught the big head.
The wrinkled and age-old palm gently stroked the metal heads. She felt so carefully that even the slightest scratch could not escape the perception of her palm.
In the process, mugan told Ms. dolai one by one about their discovery of the white clouds.
In the dark edge galaxy, the lonely, scarred, and doomed to be undiscovered white clouds, how he wanted to go home.
Speaking out everything he saw and knew, mugan carefully went to see the reaction of Ms. dolai. He thought she would cry, but she didn't. She just measured the heads carefully, very seriously.
Mugen thought that the attention of duolai lady was all on Duoduo, and she would not find her sight. Unexpectedly, he was wrong.
"I don't cry anymore." Fully aware of what mugan is thinking, Ms. dolai said to him.
"My eyes were blind 300 years ago, and I couldn't see anything."
"Now these eyes are mechanical eyes. Although they can see things as well, they can't shed tears any more."
Ms. dolai raised her head, pointed to her eyes, and finally blinked her right eyes mischievously.
Seeing her like this, Mugen felt a slight stab in his heart for no reason, and the sensitive lady dolai immediately noticed his mood, and she shook her head:
"human body is just like machinery, which has been used for a long time. Sooner or later, something will go wrong. I just got a new part. "
The first failure was the heart. After she was declared dead by the doctor, she decided to replace the mechanical heart. The next aging was the blood vessels. After the thin, human blood vessels could no longer bear the extra stent, she replaced all the blood vessels with mechanical substitutes. The next was the stomach, and then the eyes
The only thing that will not be changed is the appearance and brain.
Face is the old one I saw when I was young, and my brain is full of precious memories.
Anyway, she wanted to live, wanted to live and wait for the child to come back.
Even if he becomes a pirate ship, the child's nominal master is still himself. As long as he does not die, he is not a ship without a master. Even if he is found, he will not be treated as a ship without a master.
So she can't die anyway.
Even if living has become a very painful thing for her, she must not die.
But, still very sad? Can't cry, so there are so many sad robot dolls crying for her.
Looking straight at Ms. dolai, Mugen was so absorbed that he completely forgot to cover up his sight.
Gazing at the dreamy mugan and Olivia in silence, Ms. dolai's wrinkled face, with a kind of gratitude belonging only to her mother, smiles gently at mugan and Olivia.
"You are all good children."
"Thank you."
"Thank you for bringing this child back -"
she gave mugan and Olivia a little hug. There was a slight smell of oil on her body, and her body was stiff with steel, but her palm was soft, which was still human warmth.
***
she found the white cloud Duoduo number that she wanted to see. Ms. duolai couldn't wait to see him for a long time. But last night, the snow was too heavy and the snow was thick. In addition, Jimmy suggested that Miss duo should continue to apply a mask to remove wrinkles before she saw each other. So they waited patiently until dawn.
Not long after the sun came out, mugan heard a rustling sound from outside. He curiously opened the door and saw that it was robot dolls sweeping snow!
"Can these robot dolls shovel snow? That's amazing Mugan turned excitedly, his hands on both sides of the window. He quickly called Olivia to come and have a look.
"Of course, the robot I made! How is it possible that only the face can see? " In the face of her field of expertise, Ms. dolai is full of confidence.
Olivia thinks that the robot can't bear to see her face
As they spoke, they had already gone outside the tavern. It's even more spectacular when you go outside. There are robots sweeping snow in every street, removing the crooked facial features. The snow sweeping actions of these robots are really dexterous, and they look like real people from a distance.
"These children use light energy to charge. Everyone has an energy charging port under their feet. This excuse is connected to the light energy collector outside the building through special pipes. These days, the weather is not very good, there has been no light, so they will not have enough energy, otherwise what you see should be walking robots. " Ms. dolai introduced as she walked. Because both she and Jimmy had to walk with the help of crutches, they didn't walk fast. In this way, it is convenient for Ms. dolai to guide them along the way.
"The shop on the corner is old Kenny's. He bought all the screws on Duoduo." After living here for hundreds of years, no one knows the place better than her: "now it's old Kenny who sweeps snow in front of his shop.""Ah?" Mugan was stunned.
"I made a robot like old Kenny and put it in his shop." Ms. dolai immediately explained to him.
"It's Zhuang se, the owner of the bookstore, who is sitting there watching others sweep snow. Although his shop is small, you can get any book you want to read."
"The man in the hat is the patrolman of the east side. He is a kind young man. I broke my leg on the road. He carried me to the hospital. Later, I introduced my neighbor Fanny to him. They had three children, both sons. "
……
Ms. dolai's voice never stops. She introduces every robot she sees to mugan and Olivia. In her mouth, these robots seem to be living people, with the temperament and characteristics of living people. Everyone has his own story.
"Old Kenny, where are they now?" Olivia asked a question, and then Ms. dolai's introduction stopped abruptly.
“……” After a pause, she said again: "they are all dead."
"I've lived too long. They're gone."
"The older you get, the more nostalgic you become. One day, you suddenly miss them so much that you start making these dolls."
"But the memory is getting worse and worse after all. When I really started making dolls, I found that I couldn't remember their looks any more. I can only make them like they are now."
So, is this the secret of these robot dolls?
For a moment, everyone was silent, except for the sound of clicking on the snow, there was no other sound around.
after a long time, I'll be the first to break the sad mood, miss jido? Wear a yellow tie. "
"You're still young. Don't think about what happens after you die."
"It's always good to talk to you in advance." "Don't put me next to my grandfather, old Kenny," he said with a smile. "I won't inherit my family. I've fallen out with him for a long time."
"Just leave me on the way to the tavern. I'll come to you from that road every month anyway."
Next, the two elderly people had a very systematic discussion on the clothing of robot dolls. Thinking about the possible emergence of Jimi robot one day, Olivia no longer felt afraid this time.
It's weird.
I don't want to hear them say that - he says it.
***
Mugen was worried. Along the way, he knew more and more about the importance of Baiyun Duoduo to Ms. dolai.
It's clear that makes you uneasy.
The mechanical head given to Ms. dolai was in good condition, but the hull of Baiyun Duoduo was in poor condition. Tattered, full of scars, no matter from which angle, it looks like an abandoned spaceship that can be discarded.
If such white clouds were seen by Ms. dolai, mugan imagined several scenes when they met, but none of them was correctly guessed by him.
After all, Baiyun Duoduo, which was about to be scrapped, appeared in front of his maker.
At the moment of seeing the white clouds, the face of dolai was expressionless.
With crutches, Ms. dolai skillfully finds the hidden entrance to the boat. She waves to mugan and Olivia. With their help, she climbs into the boat.
Even after hundreds of years, she was always familiar with the spaceship built by herself. In the main control room, she explained the maintenance methods of Baiyun Duoduo to the two teenagers. The fault that neither mugan nor Olivia could fix before was easily overcome in her hands.
Ms. duolai repositioned Duoduo's head where it should have been, and then pressed the start source.
The light screen is finally on again.
This time, the first person he "saw" was the owner of his heart.
"Hello, I'm back." He said at last.
Will be scolded - this moment, mugan and Olivia coincidentally think so, not only they, I guess Duoduo also think so.
But they were wrong again.
"Well, just come back." No tears, no scolding, Ms. dolai's expression is very calm.
"Did you get anything out of home this time?" Without asking him why he became like this, Ms. dolai asked a completely irrelevant question.
“…… Yes, a lot. " Many an honest answer.
"Do you want to go out in the future?"
“…… I want to Duoduo answered honestly.
So Ms. dolai asked:
"what do you want to do next?"
“……” Duoduo didn't make a sound this time, instead, he quietly input a word on the screen.
"Oh? Are there any new ideals? That's good. Tell me, what's your new vision? " Ms. duolai is always smiling. She realizes that her smile is sincere. Duoduo finally expresses her new wish"Join the army! Next, I want to be a warship of the army and catch all the pirates who abandoned me
"Good, then do it."
So, Ms. dolai gave him a long lost smile.
