At night, after Xinya had taken care of many chores, she returned to her empty old home alone. The laughter and chatter from the neighbors kept coming, which inevitably made her, a lonely figure, frown. Then she sighed softly and slowly pushed away the once-warm home.
's door.
Ever since her mother cried once when she died of illness, she has never shed a tear no matter how difficult or frustrating it is. She is so strong and reliable in the eyes of people her age, and this strong appearance is only made possible by willpower.
At the wall table, she gently held up the old family photo, her tired body was slightly comforted. After putting down the photo, she took out a communication device similar to a mobile phone from her waist. The communication tool on this planet is holographic.
High-tech gadgets in the form of projections can even change the projected image to rotate with the body, and this communication machine is Xinya's most valuable possession, even if it is not the latest model.
She was lying on the bed and doing things idly, looking for the relief material information released by the government office tomorrow. Then her mind recalled the mysterious man in the morning, "Who is that guy? He helped me again and again for no reason. Could it be?"
Get close to me so that you can kidnap and traffic children?" The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, and her mind gradually became wary, but the mysterious man's sincere smile from the bottom of his heart didn't look like something a bad guy could pretend to be. The more Xinya thought about it, the more confused she became.
Then he got up and prepared to take a shower. The slums are communities built voluntarily by the people at the bottom. Naturally, there is no water or electricity, and everything must be self-sufficient by the residents.
I saw her carrying a bucket of water from the outdoor public reservoir, heating it with her own solar energy storage furnace, and then carrying it into the bathroom. After everything was ready, she was about to take off her clothes and take a bath. Suddenly she heard the adults downstairs.
She yelled at the child, "I asked you to remember to recharge your batteries at home today but you forgot, so now you can only take a cold shower!" She was about to unbutton her clothes, then hesitantly buttoned up her jacket and came with hot water.
When she got downstairs, "dong dong", she knocked on the neighbor's door downstairs, "Who is here?" The woman opened the door, "Hello aunt, I just heard that you are short of water. I have a bucket of extra hot water here.
I'll give it to you." Xinya smiled and handed over the hot water bucket, "Oh, how can this be done? You need to use it too~" The woman quickly declined, "It's okay, I have some left for myself, and this bucket of water is hot while it's hot.
"Hurry up and use it, I'll go up first." Xinya put down the hot water and left with a smile.
When she returned to the dim home, she smiled and sighed. After washing her face with a towel dipped in cold water, she went to put on her home clothes. Looking at the slightly broken underwear, she quietly took out the thread box and started to mend it herself. When she was done,
Putting away her mother's thread box, she looked at the pattern on the box and smiled knowingly. With the slight smell of sweat, she lay down tiredly and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the sun rose as usual. Like the Earth, Moi Star is also a living planet rotating around a star, but it has three companion stars similar to the moon, so the night is relatively bright, and the sun shines in through the windows.
Xinya looked at her face. She opened her eyes tiredly and combed her messy brown-red hair. "Hmm~ha~ I have to work hard today," she said to herself.
After changing clothes and washing up, she went to the public cafeteria, "Good morning, Xinya!" Everyone greeted her after seeing her, "Good morning, everyone~", she sat down casually aside, "The captain may have to come back in a few days, it's still the same for a while
Let me assign tasks to everyone," Xinya said while eating bread. Others did not notice the smell of sweat on her body. After all, people living in slums have long been accustomed to various smells. It is better to say that slums rarely keep clean every day.
people.
"Today I went to a neighboring city to grab supplies, but you guys went to grab supplies in this city instead, because the police officers from yesterday already recognized me, so I can't go back, so let's just arrange it like this~" She issued the task, "No problem
Leave it to us!" Saiying replied with a smile.
After everyone had breakfast together, they split into two groups, and Xinya set off on the old flying motorcycle.
