The Sabbath Chapter 135: Lamp and candle
Poma is actually the owner of the online store who sold so many messy but useful things to Mrs. Zora? !
This, this, this, this is completely unexpected!
"Poma couldn't have been sued by the seller because of the random delivery, right?" Looking at the small box in his arms, Ronggui looked troubled.
"Impossible, Xingcheng belongs to the third-level security level prison, and ordinary people convicted of business disputes will not be imprisoned in this level of prison." Ronggui just muttered a question, but Xiaomei still answered it seriously.
Ronggui nodded as if looking decent.
"However, I really can't imagine that a person like Poma would be imprisoned for some felony," Ronggui murmured.
This time, Xiaomei did not speak.
Going back to the 999th floor again, after saying hello to Dahuang and Xiaohuang, he hurried to get the watering can to water the flowers. While he was doing all this, Xiaomei was in charge of packing the two people's baskets.
The two little robots have always had a clear division of labor.
After watering each flowerpot, he went again to take care of the whispering grass. Ronggui found that although the whispering grass didn't grow much taller, it had branched.
As an exceptionally easy-to-grow plant, it's not surprising that the Whispering Grass behaves like this, but Ronggui is still very surprised that a dying Whispering Weed can recover so quickly.
Maybe you can give Jiji and Poma a branch of whispering grass in the future—Ronggui thought to himself.
Thinking of Poma, he thought of the small box that Poma gave him before he left.
After watering the last bean seedling, Ronggui wiped his hands and ran to unpack the box.
Xiaomei was no longer in the living room, so Ronggui carried the box and ran into the house. Sure enough, he found Xiaomei in their bedroom.
Seeing Xiaomei playing with the computer again, Ronggui didn't bother him, but just sat on the ground beside him and opened the box.
The first thing inside was a bouquet of fake flowers. At first glance, they thought they were real, but Ronggui soon discovered that they were fake.
Although it is a fake flower, it is still very beautiful. Ronggui decided to find a place to put the flower up later.
Under the artificial flowers is a small bottle of wine, beautifully packaged and tied with a ribbon.
Flowers, wine, obviously, this is a standard gift set for a housewarming celebration!
It is not in vain to learn the common sense outside, Poma already has a lot of common sense in this area - Ronggui thought, putting the wine bottle aside, he found that there was another thing in the box.
Looks like a lamp - Ronggui picked up the bottom thing, it looks like a desk lamp.
It is still the most common and popular kind of desk lamp!
I really can't think of why the desk lamp appears here, Monk Ronggui Zhanger can't figure it out.
"Xiaomei, is it customary to give table lamps to celebrate housewarming here?" He asked Xiaomei out of habit.
"No. People are used to giving different gifts in different regions, but these gifts can be roughly divided into two categories: pure celebration items, and local necessities for life." Although she didn't look back, Xiaomei immediately replied to him : "The former are like flowers and wine, while the latter vary greatly depending on where you live."
"Oh." Ronggui nodded, his eyes slid over the wine bottle and fake flowers on the ground, and finally landed on the lamp in his hand: "So this is a gift for Poma according to two habits. It's all over."
"Fake flowers and wine are celebratory gifts, then"
"Desk lamp is a must-have for living here?"
Looking at the brightly lit room, Ronggui really doesn't understand how a desk lamp has become a necessity in life.
But since it was a gift, Ronggui felt that using it was the greatest respect for the giver, so he decided to use the lamp.
Thinking so in his heart, he got up with a grunt, picked up the desk lamp, picked up the long plug and drag line under the desk lamp, and he found the plug to the power socket under the table.
Placing the lamp on the small table, Ronggui pressed the only switch on the lamp.
Then—
The room suddenly became dark.
Ronggui was taken aback, the whole robot jumped up, and without saying a word, he resolutely ran towards Xiaomei!
While running, he shouted in panic: "Xiaomei Xiaomei! What's wrong? Is there a power outage?"
"Huh?"
Halfway through the run, he stopped.
Still in shock, Rong Gui stared at Xiaomei with his arms still in the air.
It was still the same brightly lit room as before, Xiaomei was still sitting on the bed as before, with the computer in front of her.
However, Xiaomei's head is now turned upside down.
The room was brightly lit, and it was completely impossible to see that the power had been cut off. Ronggui suddenly felt
Did you suddenly lose power just now?
That's why I feel like there's a sudden power outage
"Xiaomei, I couldn't see suddenly just now. It was dark in front of my eyes. Please help me to have a look. Could it be that the head of my current body is also broken? I heard that many visual impairments are caused by It's something wrong with my head." Quickly retracting his arm in mid-air, Ronggui said to Xiaomei worriedly.
Then, he saw Xiaomei stretch out her finger and point to behind him.
Looking in the direction of Xiaomei's finger, Ronggui was shocked when he saw the scene behind him——
The place he just left behind, where the small desk was originally placed, is now a black hole! ! !
Realizing that he was standing in front of this "black hole", Ronggui immediately jumped to Xiaomei's side.
"Oh my god! Black hole!" Ronggui said in horror, seeing Xiaomei standing up beside him and walking towards the direction of "black hole", Ronggui immediately stopped him.
Xiaomei didn't say a word, but just held Ronggui's hand with her backhand, and then gently tugged, feeling Ronggui's retreat and not giving up, she used a little more force, just like that, he pulled Ronggui closer That "black hole", and then walked into the "black hole"!
Ronggui's eyes were once again dark.
It was also dark, and he was scared to death before, but this time, with Xiaomei around, Ronggui felt that Xiaomei's palm was holding his hand firmly, and Ronggui found that he was not nervous at all.
Well, it's not that I'm not nervous at all, but a little bit, just a little bit.
Then Xiaomei finally spoke.
"It's not a power outage, it's because you turned on that lamp." Xiaomei said, under his guidance, Ronggui felt that he took two steps forward, and then he heard a "click" , The darkness in front of them disappeared completely immediately, and their eyes were once again bright.
Ronggui saw Xiaomei's finger land on the lamp switch.
If he had eyelids at this time, he really wanted to blink to show his bewilderment!
Unfortunately not, Ronggui could only continue to keep his eyes open, watching Xiaomei "click" again, the lamp switch was pressed again, and the two of them fell into darkness again.
"Interesting design." Ronggui heard Xiaomei praise in a flat voice.
Ronggui: =-=
Where is the fun! It's clearly scary!
However, although he was complaining crazily in his heart, after figuring out what was going on, Ronggui leaned over to Xiaomei, pressed his finger on the lamp switch again, "click" and "click" several times, he was playing Very happy.
And the corner they were in was also suddenly daytime and suddenly night, alternating several times.
When he finally had enough of playing, Xiaomei turned off the desk lamp, as if studying for a while, at the end, he actually found a box of candles and a lighter at the base of the desk lamp.
When the table lamp was turned on and the corner was in darkness, Xiaomei lit a candle with a lighter, and the corner immediately became bright again.
"Ah!" Ronggui called out in a low voice.
"The light bulb of this desk lamp uses a special dark element conduction filament. When the switch is pressed, it will release dark element rays. This element exists in many primitive planets. I have never heard of anyone using it like this before. "But——
That person's last concert, the dark special effects, should have a technology that uses the same principle—Xiaomei thought.
He felt distracted for a while, Xiaomei quickly turned his attention back to the desk lamp in front of him, picked up the candle next to him, and continued to talk to Ronggui: "This kind of element is hard to dispel, ordinary light is not enough to penetrate It, but this kind of candle has a special material, and the rays emitted when burning are enough to penetrate some dark elements."
"So is this the only candle that can shine in the darkness created by this table lamp?" Tilting his head, Ronggui curiously took the small candle that was burning in Xiaomei's hand, and after observing it carefully for a long time, he tilted the candle and put it A drop of candle tears dripped on the table. At this time, I pressed the candle into the candle tear. After a while, the candle stood firmly on the table.
When the orphanage had a power outage when they were young, they always had to light candles. There were no candle holders, so the old director taught them to place candles in this way.
"Why did you send lamps and candles? Did you send the wrong things again?" Standing quietly by the table, Ronggui's eyes were just at the same level as the candles due to his short stature, and Xiaomei was standing next to him Beside, looking at the candles with him.
Different from Ronggui, Xiaomei didn't think about this kind of problem at all.
Instinct will tell him that this question is irrelevant to what they are going to do next, so his subconscious will stop here and will not think about similar related questions.
However, since Ronggui asked this question, his thinking was driven to think about it.
The thinking speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, and they can think about many questions in parallel at the same time. After screening, the most likely answer remained in his mind.
"Because it is a necessity." In the darkness with only the faint light of candles, Xiaomei suddenly said: "You have been to Jiji's room, and the lights are always on no matter day or night, so this This kind of desk lamp exists to turn off the light."
Hearing this, Ronggui was stunned.
He seemed to have immediately returned to Jiji's room where he had stayed for the night before, back to that miserable white room that was brightly lit day and night.
Cells with lights on at any time. The lights are white and the wattage is extremely strong. It’s okay for them to only stay for one night. The prisoners inside will stay in this environment for a long, long time.
Staying in such a room every day, you will be irritable, right?
Anyway, if it were him, he might not even be able to sleep well.
Gigi also sleeps with her head covered.
"Ah, it really is a necessity." When he looked at the darkness again, Ronggui was finally not afraid at all.
Looking at the orange candle light, he even found something that could almost be called a "sense of security" in this darkness.
"It's really a good design!" This time, Ronggui agreed with Xiaomei's previous point of view very much.
