Wasteland Garbage Planet 17: Xie Yunsui is such a contradictory person...
Kahn was carried by Moira to the villa.
The area around the villa has been cleaned up, there is no garbage dump and the odor is very light.
The Rust People knew that this area belonged to Themis. It was as if there was a natural boundary between the villas and the shantytowns, so they would not come here easily.
But Kahn had lived here for a period of time in his previous life, so he was very familiar with the route. He felt like he was back home and was not as scared as Moira had imagined.
Moira's feelings towards the child changed a little, and she relaxed the grip on the back of his neck a little.
When he got outside the villa, Kahn saw the villa clearly and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
There are no plants on the land of Rust Star, not even weeds. In the previous life, this villa was like an isolated island, standing on the land, with nothing around it.
But now, on a square piece of land near the villa, it seems that there are clumps of black grass sprouting?
The grass is still very lush, some of it is even half the height of a calf.
Kahn stared at it without blinking until Moira pushed him in: "Go in."
Kahn entered the villa gate and saw all kinds of alloy materials piled up on the ground in the front yard. The large ones were put together, filling up the shelves as high as the wall, and the small ones were placed in big boxes. There were also other plastic materials, glass materials and the like, all of which were classified and arranged.
The whole yard is full of garbage, but it looks very clean.
When Kahn passed by a box, he saw that it was full of the nanofiltration membrane fragments he had been dreaming of unloading from the medical cabin. The fragments were quite large!
But no matter how big it is, it has nothing to do with him, Kahn thought.
The previous ruler liked to use a silver whip to whip the Rustmen as punishment. Kahn still remembered that man whipped an adult Rustman with a few whips until he was covered in blood. The whip seemed thin and light, but it made a crackling sound when it was swung. Just watching it, Kahn was so scared that he couldn't sleep for a long time.
I don’t remember many things from my childhood, but that silver whip has become a brand engraved in my heart.
Lord Themis is not as cruel as the previous controller, but his body is too small now and he will definitely not be able to withstand a round of punishment.
Kahn belatedly shrank back in fear.
Themis, who came back first, changed out of the restrictive protective suit and put on more relaxed and casual clothes. He was wiping his hands with a clean cloth.
The child, who was particularly cared for by Xie Yunsui, stood helplessly at the door. Ximis thought about his name and confirmed, "Kahn?"
This sound was like a nightmare that haunted the soul. Kahn knelt down immediately: "Lord Themis, I was wrong. I didn't mean to cause trouble with Ford!"
Xie Yunsui followed behind: "..."
He thought about the plot. Hadn't he overthrown Themis's rule in his previous life? Why was he so scared when he saw him?
Themis was also stunned. He seldom appeared in front of the Rust People. Firstly, he was a bit of a germaphobe, and the Rust People were always digging in and out of the garbage dump, which he found dirty. Secondly, he was almost wholeheartedly devoted to the research of mutant moss, and always left the outside matters to the four who had nothing to do.
Ethan has an external brain, so he can make decisions and handle minor problems on his own.
Moira is the executioner and is responsible for handling all disputes.
The ones who are in charge of purchasing the junk materials are Victor and Sarah, one of whom has no brains and the other is mentally underage.
Compared to these four who often intimidate and threaten the Rust People, my reputation should be okay, right?
But Kahn was so scared as if he saw a ghost just because he called out his name. Themis couldn't help but wonder if his reputation outside had been demonized.
Ximis paused, no longer wanting to ask Kahn anything. He turned to Xie Yunsui and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Xie Yunsui hugged him and kissed him again: "Okay, thank you."
Ximis' eyes trembled slightly. By now, he had become very accustomed to Xie Yunsui's closeness.
After the last time they made their relationship clear, Xie Yunsui had always wanted to develop it further, but unfortunately he was resistant to close contact.
I'm the type who, if I wake up from a deep sleep and find someone in the room, will just start shooting at them.
Even when Xie Yunsui often appeared silently behind him, he would subconsciously become wary.
Xie Yunsui has been trying to break through his defensive range and make him get used to his touch and closeness.
I don't know why, but it seems to be working.
But it was only for Xie Yunsui, and when Ethan or Moira got close to him, he would still feel subconsciously uncomfortable.
The body's reactions are honest.
Ximis went upstairs with slightly red ears, wondering if he liked Xie Yunsui more than he thought.
Moira watched the two of them show their affection in silence and said, "The person is here. It's up to you how to punish him. I'm leaving now, okay?"
After all, today's inspection activities have not been completed yet.
Moira really likes this task of patrolling the territory and has to do it every day.
Xie Yunsui smiled: "Thank you for your help."
Themis and Moira, who were able to punish him, left one after another, leaving only Xie Yunsui. Only then did Kahn react.
"You... knew from the beginning that it was Ford who stole my supplies?"
Xie Yunsui chuckled and walked past him. "It's obvious, isn't it? How could a kind-hearted person who wanted to give free water to the people of Rust County wrongly accuse someone he didn't even know for no reason?"
Kahn climbed up and followed him: "But you insist that I admit I was wrong."
"No, I actually hope you stick to your accusation against Ford." Xie Yunsui was picking materials from various shelves and boxes.
Kahn pondered for a while, and it seemed that from beginning to end, Xie Yunsui did not take the initiative to ask him to admit his mistake.
He just kept hinting that if you deny the accusation, you will be punished alone, but if you insist on making the accusation, your whole family will be punished.
Kahn didn't want his parents to suffer for him, so he denied the accusation.
Kahn puffed out his cheeks and said, "What you said is actually trying to trick me into denying it."
"Ah, really?" Xie Yunsui turned around and smiled indifferently: "Then consider it my induction. What can you do to me?"
Kahn: “…”
"According to the rules of Themis, anyone who causes trouble will be killed. I saved you and your parents. Do you think this counts as kindness?"
Xie Yunsui couldn't hold any more things in his hands, so he simply threw some odds and ends to Kahn.
Kahn caught it hurriedly and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
"Don't be so quick to thank me. I'm not a truly kind person after all." Xie Yunsui threw all the materials into an empty corner and said, "Saving you requires conditions. Now, use these materials to rebuild a water purification device. If you can't do it, don't go back."
Kahn understood: "You're here for the water purification plant."
"Yes, otherwise what value would you have?" Xie Yunsui admitted generously.
Yes, his value lies in that water purification device. Otherwise, he is the same as other Rust People. To Themis and the others, they are all the same. One more or one less doesn’t matter.
Why would Themis and this man show up in the shantytown just to protect him?
Kahn bit his lip. He felt frustrated and lonely when he heard these words, but when he saw the materials on the ground, he immediately put these emotions behind him.
He looked at the parts in his hand, especially a large piece of nanofiltration membrane, which was enough to enlarge and widen the main filtering device!
His eyes lit up: "Can I use all these materials?"
Xie Yunsui folded his arms and looked at him: "I'm just giving you a water purification device. Don't even think about taking it back."
"I'll use it right here!" Kahn hugged the material tightly, unable to let go. "I can make a bigger water purification device that can purify even more water!"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
He pointed to the toolbox on the shelf and said, "The tools are over there. If you break them, you'll have to pay for them."
"It's okay, it's okay, I can just turn it by hand." When Kahn made that simple device at home before, he basically relied on his hands. He didn't have a complete toolbox.
No wonder the shell of the water purification device was made up of pieces of small pieces of materials.
The outer shell that leaks air and lets in dust will soon be contaminated even if the main filtering device is effective.
Xie Yunsui pondered for a while, but still did not remind him, waiting for the protagonist to discover it himself.
He has talent in this area and should wake up soon.
Xie Yunsui couldn't help but compare him with those disciples in the world of immortal cultivation. His talent was not much worse than that of the little tiger Qi Yan.
Seeing that Kahn couldn't wait to take action, he turned and walked into the villa.
"Wait." Kahn suddenly realized and asked, "Aren't you going to punish me first?"
Xie Yunsui said, "There's a kind of punishment called reform through labor. Just work hard."
Labor reform?
Kahn seemed to understand, but he asked him to transform him by making the water purification device?
Isn’t this a reward?
Themis was on the second floor watching the child happily comparing the sizes of the materials, seemingly trying to decide whether to make the main body or the outer shell first.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and the next second he was hugged by someone: "Okay, we have a new free worker who is very useful."
Themis raised his eyebrows slightly: "Water purification device?"
He knew that Xie Yunsui didn't care about the water purification device at all. He already had a full set of disinfection, filtration and water purification machines, and the water produced was 100% pollution-free.
Ever since Xie Yunsui appeared, he has been drinking clean water.
Xie Yunsui chuckled. "He's so young, yet he's already built a working device all on his own. He's incredibly talented. It would be a shame to let him go. With some training, he could do even more."
Themis: "You want to entrust the production of the robot to him?"
"...I left my job to travel to Interstellar because the workload was too overwhelming. Now I'm stuck in my studio banging away all day, I don't even have time to talk to you."
Xie Yunsui buried his head in Ximis's shoulder and complained aggrievedly.
Themis closed his eyes, his brain giving him an uncontrollable warning that half of this sentence was a lie.
His heart was torn again. Xie Yunsui was such a contradictory person. He lied easily and his acting skills were superb.
If it weren't for this eye, he probably wouldn't have any doubts.
Even so, he couldn't tell which half of the sentence was true and which half was false.
Themis opened her mouth, but felt the warmth of his entire body against hers, and ultimately said nothing.
