The Sabbath Chapter 117: Red lamp post
Many people in Uncle Wang's family wanted to go with him, but Alan didn't agree.
"You can't go with me until you're older." That's how he dismissed the others.
Look at Alan, who is steady but young and unrestrained, and look at Alan's second younger brother, third younger brother, eldest nephew, and eldest grandson who is a bit more lively but more mature.
Ronggui: =-=
"Okay, okay, your grandpa is going out to do business, besides, the place is not plentiful. If you have the time, the second child, bring two down jackets for Agui and the others." In the end, it was Uncle Wang who came out and interrupted Alan's standoff with other relatives.
Uncle Wang's second son could only turn around and go back to the house. It didn't take long before he took out two thick down jackets, and he had another one in his hand, which he handed to Alan.
"It's very cold there. Ours is a genuine down jacket, and the down inside is filled with real chicken feathers." Seeing Ronggui holding the down jacket a little puzzled, Uncle Wang explained a few more words.
Ronggui immediately thought of the ice and snow belt that he had passed before.
"The planet our family lives on has a relatively pleasant climate. At that time, this planet was originally built to develop a livable planet in this place. Unfortunately, there were so many bugs, which made our family cheaper. .” Because Rhubarb can drive automatically, all the people in the car have nothing to do and simply chat.
Alan wasn't very talkative when he was at home, but when there were only three of them, he showed his demeanor as an elder and started talking to Ronggui and the others.
He was a little curious about the self-driving rhubarb, and when he learned that the car was completely designed and manufactured by Xiaomei, he gave Xiaomei an appreciative glance.
When he learned that most of the decorations on the car were designed by Ronggui and still made by Xiaomei, he looked at Xiaomei again with some encouragement.
"You guys are going to put on your coats when you get out of the star path. Although I don't know how cold your bodies are now, it's really cold outside, and it will get colder and colder." Allen continued.
"It's getting colder? Will the temperature drop to minus 70 degrees?" Seriously put on the down jacket, let Xiaomei adjust the oversized down jacket for herself, and then help Xiaomei adjust it, everything is done, Only then did Ronggui have time to ask Alan questions.
Before leaving, Alan suggested that the two robots use his cart, but Ronggui was reluctant to part with Rhubarb. It was not until Xiaomei insisted that Rhubarb could drive safely in an environment of minus 70 degrees that Alan gave up on the proposal.
"Seventy degrees is not enough, but there are an average of minus fifty-five degrees." Allen said: "Even I, if I don't wear a down jacket, it will be difficult to carry it."
As Alan said, he also put on the down jacket. The down jacket that was too big for Ronggui and Xiaomei looked just right on Alan. He took out a small bottle from the pocket of the down jacket familiarly, and drank it. a mouthful.
Looking at the way Ronggui looked at him carefully, Allen smiled: "It's spirits."
The time for Allen to get dressed and drink was just right. As soon as he finished speaking, the sky outside began to snow.
Sugarman Street with red lanterns was like a beautiful dream in the ice and snow. In a blink of an eye, they woke up from the dream.
Large ice crystals quickly formed on the glass outside the rhubarb.
Xiaomei pressed a button on the console, and a transparent baffle rose up from the inside of the big yellow window glass. The baffle could generate heat, and the ice crystals on the outside of the glass melted not long after rising.
"This thing is good." Allen praised immediately.
Ronggui just smiled and said, "Xiaomei temporarily modified it when you were loading the goods. Because there are spare materials, he also installed a set for your family's big gray by the way."
"I also added a heating core to Uncle Wang's walking stick. Uncle Wang said that it is sometimes quite cold in your place, and his hands will be cold"
"Thank you so much." After taking a deep look at the two little robots, Allen really thanked them this time.
Ronggui thinks that what he is really grateful for is the latter.
Compared to the car window heating plate that made him deliver goods in the snow more comfortably, the heating core installed in Uncle Wang's walking stick is what he really appreciates.
No way, Alan is a filial person—Ronggui has already discovered it.
"But it's really cold here." Putting his hands on the window and looking out, Da Huang turned on the headlights at the right time, allowing Ronggui to see the vast white snow outside.
There is only snow, and nothing else can be seen.
They couldn't see the way either, if it wasn't for the navigation panel on Da Huang's body showing that they were still on the right road, Rong Gui would definitely have lost their way.
"Of course it must be cold. Star City is actually a prison star whose function is to detain prisoners. Naturally, they will not make it easy for these prisoners."
"Cold and heavy snow are both means of trapping prisoners. This is to prevent prisoners from escaping." Allen said.
"Huh?" Ronggui looked at him in a daze.
"The temperature near the prison is as low as minus sixty-five degrees on average. Most of the prisoners who escaped from the prison couldn't even escape this low temperature zone, and they fainted from the cold." Allen said, pausing for a moment: " But more people died of freezing."
"Only a very small group of people can escape further, but there is no supply on the road, and the end waiting for them is basically exhausted and starved to death."
This topic is a bit heavy, Ronggui opened his mouth, but finally did not answer.
Xiaomei did not speak from the beginning to the end.
Du Huang was in such a calm posture, and when he was driving forward at a constant speed for about two hours, Allen suddenly asked, "Can you let Da Huang stop?"
Even though he didn't understand what he was going to do, Rong Gui still made Da Huang stop.
Then Allen pulled his hat over his head, pushed open the frozen door, and got out of the car.
Although he didn't understand why he got out of the car, Ronggui sat in the car and thought about it, and then jumped off, and not long after Ronggui got off the car, Xiaomei also jumped out of the car holding an umbrella .
After jumping out of the car, Xiaomei carefully closed the door.
Just under their seats, the khaki little yellow chicken poked its head outwards. The body of the big yellow car has a self-heating system, and the bottom of the car is especially warm. The little guy hid here shivering all the way to keep warm of.
By the way, I forgot to mention that when Ronggui and the others were on their way, this chicken also followed.
Between Sugar Man Street, who might be eaten at any time, and Ronggui, who doesn't eat bugs at all and doesn't fight with it, it decisively chose Ronggui
Standing on Ronggui's seat and looking out, looking out for a while, it probably felt cold again, so it curled up on the seat.
And outside the window——
Xiaomei held up an umbrella, although it is an umbrella, but it is also good in snowy weather, standing under the umbrella with Xiaomei, Ronggui watched Alan stepping on the thick snow layer, struggling to the left of Dahuang past.
The snow was too heavy, Ronggui couldn't see anything at first, until they got closer, Ronggui noticed a lonely lamp post there.
Bad.
Could it be that Allen came here specially to change the light bulb?
Tilting his head, Ronggui was thinking wildly.
Sure enough, Allen stopped in front of the lamp post, and then took out a package of something from the pocket of his down jacket.
"What is this?" As soon as he thought of it, Ronggui asked after Alan.
"It's worm meat, and a small bottle of spirits." Allen answered him without any shyness.
"Hey? Alan, is there any meaning for you to put the food here?" In the icy and snowy environment, Ronggui really couldn't guess the meaning of Alan's move.
In the heavy snow, Allen seemed to smile slightly.
Then, Ronggui heard Alan's voice: "There is a legend in the prison in Star City. It is said that if you escape from the prison, when you see the red lamppost, it proves that you are about to leave the most severe cold area." Now, it also means that you have officially left the sphere of influence of Star City."
"?" Ronggui continued to tilt his head.
Alan stretched out his hand and rubbed vigorously on the lamp post in front until the mottled post underneath was exposed—
Red!
Ronggui moved a little closer in surprise.
"In this area where there is only snow and severe cold, if people see a lamp post, they will come over and rub the lamp post like me, just to see the color of the post."
"So, if you have to say it, the only place where people will stay is under the lamppost, and it is also something that everyone will try to find."
"I put a little food here, so that if someone escapes here, they may be able to live on this food for a while."
"It's so cold in here that the food gets so hard that it's completely inedible very quickly, so I always refill it every time I come over."
When Alan explained it this way, Ronggui finally understood completely.
However——
When he realized the reason why Alan put the food here, another question popped up in Ronggui's mind, he opened his mouth, but he didn't let this question come out, that is:
Why? Alan, why are you so familiar with things in Star City? Even the legends circulating among the people inside the prison know
Just as Ronggui fell into deep thought, Alan began to push away the snowdrifts and put food under them.
However, his movements suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Obviously aware of the pause in his movements, Ronggui hurriedly asked him.
"The food I put here before is gone."
"And——"
Alan stood up suddenly as he spoke.
He didn't stand up by himself, he was holding something in his other hand.
Looking carefully at the thing in Alan's hand, Ronggui took a deep breath when he saw what it was:
Good guy! That's a person!
