The Sabbath Chapter 29: The first pot of gold


Two hundred miles later, a row of small houses appeared on the left side of the road. They were very ordinary slate houses, completely devoid of the high-tech appearance that Ronggui imagined in the future world, and even a bit quaint.

But there are lights inside.

It's not the weak fluorescence of mushroom lamps, but the bright masterpiece of electric lamps!

Ronggui suddenly became nervous.

"This, this is about to meet someone." Clenching his fist, he quickly took out the small mirror that was placed under the seat at any time, carefully looked at the front, and then at the back, making sure that although he is now It looked a bit shabby, but after it was clean, he tidied up Xiaomei again, adjusted the green hat on Xiaomei's head, and then remained silent.

The reason why a chatterbox suddenly stops talking is probably nervousness.

When Xiaomei stopped the car, Ronggui went in first with a very loyal attitude. There was no one in the management office, only the counter in front

Uh tall counter.

For a small robot that is not tall enough to save materials, the counter is too high, and Ronggui can't see behind it at all.

囧!

However, before he could find a suitable footstool, a person came out from behind the counter, but that person was really strange! He poked out not one, but several heads. Ronggui was almost scared to the ground at first, but the focus of the imager was quickly re-aligned, and he realized that the so-called several heads were not heads at all, but It was a creature like an eagle, and the birds were black and huge, and they all stood on the man's shoulders, almost covering the man's head.

When the man probed over, all the birds aimed their yellow orange eyes at Ronggui's face, and they remained motionless, looking very weird.

"What are you here for?" The man said, the tone of his speech was a bit different from what Xiaomei had instilled in him, but fortunately, the difference was not that great.

After carefully listening to the first sentence of the first living person I met here, Ronggui was about to reply.

When you talk to someone you are dealing with for the first time, your voice must be loud and you can have an accent, but you must not be timid—this is what the dean often told them when they were young.

Adhering to this principle, Ronggui said loudly:

"Hi! We're here to pick up photos!"

"Huh?" The man with a bird on his head was stunned.

Ronggui is still satisfied with his neat on-the-spot reaction, Xiaomei behind him has already carried him back,

Instead of standing in front of Ronggui, Xiaomei raised her head and said to the condescending man: "We are here to pay the ticket."

Ronggui: Oh! Damn! The first sentence is wrong!

Fortunately, there is Xiaomei

Hearing Xiaomei's answer, the man behind the counter took a few steps back. After a sound like a machine printing, he handed out a piece of paper from the counter.

"Your speed violation requires a fine of 60 nabis."

"Speeding? How is it possible? Our Da Huang walks very slowly!" Putting his hands on Xiao Mei's shoulders, Rong Gui poked his head out from behind Xiao Mei with his hands on his toes, loudly complaining for Da Huang.

The bird on the man's head turned its sights on Ronggui again, and a cold voice came from under the black bird's feathers:

"Who said that a speed violation means speeding? On the road outside, any behavior with a speed lower than 80 per hour is an illegal act. What's more, your speed has been maintained at a constant speed of 20, which is already a serious violation."

Is this all right? Ronggui was dumbfounded.

Seeing the other party stretch out his hand and staring at the big and powerful palm, Ronggui suddenly noticed a very serious problem.

"Xiaomei, do we have money?" He (thought he) whispered to Xiaomei.

"No." Xiaomei said coldly, and—

It's too late to make counterfeit money now, not to mention that he has never seen the so-called "Nubuat" here.

"Then what should we do?" Ronggui's dumbfounded situation became more serious.

However, their conversation has reached the ears of the man behind the counter. I don’t know if he is angry, but the **** bird on his shoulder suddenly flew up, and the black bird hovered near the roof. , and the man also revealed his true face.

The moment he saw the man, Ronggui was stunned again.

"What are you looking at me for?" A majestic and deep voice came from the man's mouth, and the man's voice was full of anger, which was the discomfort of being looked at wantonly.

Then—

"You look so good-looking." Ronggui's voice sounded weakly.

It was clearly the voice of a robot, but the stereotyped voice seemed to hide little red hearts, and the breath in the room jumped immediately.

"This hairstyle matches your face shape very well, and the line of your neck is also very nice. Have you exercised your muscles? This line looks like it was specially trained. And the color of your clothes is very coordinated with your tie, You are really a person who knows how to dress up." A series of compliments came out of Ronggui's mouth, the man was stunned for a while, and after listening to them all, it was finally the man's turn to be a little dumbfounded.

Coughing softly, the man stretched out his fingers to adjust his yellow tie, and said in a low voice, "Do you also think this tie matches the color of the shirt?"

"Yes, yes!" Ronggui nodded again and again: "To be honest, the color of this shirt is really earthy! I don't want it for nothing, but it's strange to say that it looks taller in an instant with this tie. It's gone"

The corner of the man's mouth immediately raised slightly, with a reserved attitude, the man's next speech speed suddenly accelerated a lot: "Isn't it? This shirt is so rustic in both color and style, give it to me." I don’t want it, but it’s a uniform, so I can’t do without it! Fortunately, the tie doesn’t have to be a standard tie, but this uniform is really not ordinary ugly. It’s still ugly to wear with any tie, until I suddenly found it in the city of Yote. A tie shop saw the tie."

"I can finally go to work with peace of mind and wear such an ugly uniform." The man was relieved.

Both people who love beauty, the two looked at each other, and immediately saw the tacit understanding of the same-minded people in each other's eyes/(mechanical eyes).

In the following time, the two had a friendly and heated discussion on the color and style of the tie, until someone inside called the man's name, and he answered, and then reluctantly stopped Talk to Ronggui.

"Although I still want to continue chatting with you, my colleague is calling me." The man said.

"Don't worry about me, business is important, you should hurry up and get busy!" Ronggui said empathetically.

"It's not business, but I'm here to play cards. There aren't many people here, and I'm bored to death every day, so we get together and prepare to play cards, but we don't have enough card friends." While talking, the man suddenly said to Rong Gui : "We happen to be missing one out of three, would you like to come over and play cards together? If you win money, you can just pay the fine."

Ronggui's mechanical eyes flickered immediately.

"But I don't know how to play cards." Ronggui felt it was a pity that he couldn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, but he suddenly thought of Xiaomei.

Who is Xiaomei? In his heart, there is nothing Xiaomei can't do.

Therefore, after hearing a "squeak", Ronggui immediately turned his head away, looked straight at Xiaomei, Ronggui asked him: "Xiaomei, do you know how to play cards?"

Xiaomei looked at him blankly, and said for a while, "Yes."

Don't ask what cards to play, because he can play any cards.

"That's it, Xiaomei, go play cards and win back the fine. Win against others, not this big brother. This big brother is my good friend! You two should cooperate well." Although not Playing cards, but Ronggui obviously knows how to do it. Just as he pushed Xiaomei over, "Ronggui's good friend" at the counter immediately opened the door next to the counter.

The next moment, Xiaomei, who had come to pay the fine, was standing in the office area where only staff members could enter.

"You come here too." Probably very satisfied with finding a poker player, the man at the counter became more gentle, and he also waved to Ronggui and said: "When we were playing cards, there was no one on duty here. Just stand here for me, and if someone comes to pay the fine, you can help me collect the money, and I will win the money back and give you a share of the money as wages."

"Really? That's really great!" Ronggui was overjoyed, nodded, and he immediately took over the job.

"Play your cards well!" Ronggui said to the man in uniform and Xiaomei.

"You work hard too!" The man said to Ronggui who came to pay the fine.

What seems wrong with this dialogue?

But——

What about him?

After taking off the hat that the man gave to his uniform and putting it on his little red hood, Ronggui went to work with a serious face.

Not long after he put on the hat, the flock of black birds landed on his shoulders and head with a whoosh. His head was completely blocked, and no one could see his face.

Ronggui is really stupid, he can't do many technical things well, but he is good at acting!

As if he was born to be an actor, as long as he talks to someone for a while, he can immediately imitate that person's skills.

This is an unconscious behavior, even he didn't notice it.

It's just instinct.

Thus, Ronggui, who didn't know what to do, instinctively imitated the man sitting at the counter just now.

Whether it's the other party's cold expression, tone of voice, or attitude.

So, when the first customer who paid the fine came in, he saw a black-faced staff member of the Traffic Management Bureau.

Although the procedure is completely unclear, Ronggui, relying on his superb acting skills, used the three words "ah." "Huh?" "Hum."

When Xiaomei finished playing cards and the man came out, there was already a small wad of money on the table inside the counter.

Ronggui is counting the money anxiously.

The robot obviously has no expression, but he is the only one who can make people feel flustered just by his movements.

"What's the matter? Did you charge the wrong money? It doesn't matter how much you undercharged, I won the most money today, let me make it up for you!" The man was obviously in a good mood, and he wasn't worried that Ronggui would make trouble for him at all. , but comforted him.

"Thank you, but" turning his head, Ronggui first expressed his gratitude to the man, then lowered his head to look at the money in his hand, wondering: "But I didn't charge less, no matter how I counted, I charged more than the amount that should be charged I paid 200 yuan! I’m sorry, I only know that I’m not good at math, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad!”

Xiaomei:

Staff:

So, on this day, Xiaomei and Ronggui finally stopped being two poor and white robots. After paying a violation fine, their total assets reached 350 yuan. The money from the family accounted for the bulk of the family's total property
