339 The 12th Store
◎Hospital and Nectarines.◎
Lu Yao did not sleep all night, thinking about the strange phenomena in Tonghua Town. She was not sure whether it was because of her appearance that the old people were so miserable, or whether it was always like this.
When people are young, it is difficult to notice the old people.
They move slowly, have bad teeth, like to eat soft food, are afraid of cold, always wear a lot of clothes, and look bloated and sloppy.
If she had not been trapped in a godless place, Lu Yao would not have specially observed those old people who had already quietly retreated to the edge.
As dawn approached, Lu Yao thought of two ways to further understand the situation in the Godless Land. One was to start with Lu Mingxiao. His condition was obviously different from before, and perhaps his purpose was also different from before. The second was to leave Tonghua Town and see the world outside the town, perhaps he could get information related to the mission.
Lu Mingxiao was in the town, but he could no longer recognize Lu Yao.
Lu Yao had tried to find a chance to talk to him, but the topic always stayed at the level of greeting and could not go further.
After a brief hesitation, Lu Yao decided to go into the city first.
This matter was not difficult, but with Lu Yao's current physical condition and mobility, it was somewhat troublesome.
The existence of the robot can make up for Lu Yao's physical deficiency. Once he thinks it through, he starts to act. Lu Yao sits up from the bed and gets dressed.
The owner is going out, and some arrangements are needed to rent the shop in case there are customers when he is out.
Business is difficult, and no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it cannot be let go.
Lu Yao originally planned to take Xingtang and a nursing robot with him, but in order to leave Xingtang to guard the shop, she decided to only take a nursing robot.
Before leaving, Lu Yao received a call from the bookstore.
After Lu Yao completed the task of the bookstore, the speed of putting new books on the shelves has been steadily advancing according to the plan.
However, since the owner came to the Godless Land, the speed of the bookstore's new books has gradually slowed down. Now the situation has changed. The enthusiastic fans of the bookstore are urging for new books to be released every day, and the direction of public opinion on Xingwang has been somewhat out of control.
In order to improve the efficiency of translation, artificial intelligence has been activated in the store.
Unfortunately, the applicability of artificial intelligence in book translation is far inferior to that of native humans. Alfred, who is relatively capable, is a temporary worker transferred from another store and cannot stay in the store to work all the time.
Crow Luan switched back to a mechanical body just to learn the ancient characters in the books faster.
Even so, it is not easy to achieve the level of accurate translation of book content in a short time.
After the first translation of all new books is completed, they must be delivered to the rental store by the deliveryman, and the owner will revise and proofread them.
Lu Yao couldn't use the mustard space in the godless land, and couldn't drink the recovery potion to prolong her life. Sometimes when she looked at those stiff and empty translations, she would think it would be faster to translate them again by herself, but she didn't have enough time and energy, and the result was that the cycle of putting new books on the shelves was infinitely extended.
Crow Luan contacted Lu Yao to ask about the progress of the new book on the shelves.
On the desk in Lu Yao's room was a pile of drafts to be revised and proofread, and she almost forgot about that pile of things.
Facing the clear mechanical eyes of Crow Luan, Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Let's spread the news that the store will soon release a new original basic magic illustrated book. As for the translated version, it will be on the shelves on time thirty-two days after the new book is on the shelves."
The flow of time in the Star Domain is different from that in the Light City, while the flow of time in the Godless Land is the same as that in the Light City. Thirty-two days in the Star Domain is more than five months later in the Light City.
This is the deadline Lu Yao gave himself, and he must find a way to leave the Godless Land before the deadline.
Ya Luan blinked blankly: "The original basic magic illustrated book? This book is not in our plan."
Lu Yao: "I'll ask Harold to bring it to you later."
After dealing with the bookstore, Lu Yao contacted Harold again.
In addition to the book matter, she also informed him that she was going out.
Lu Yao hoped that Harold and the staff knew that she had not given up.
Even if she was trapped in an aging body, even if she could not rely on the power of the gods, she would still do her best to fulfill her duties as a shop owner.
After breakfast, Lu Yao prepared to go out, followed by a nursing robot named Haiyue.
The Dream Yuanmeng System reminded: "There are guests."
Lu Yao handed the bag to Haiyue and turned to go out to greet them.
The wife of the Tian family stood outside the store a little awkwardly, looking up at the sign hanging on the top of the door.
Lu Yao greeted with a smile: "Good morning."
The wife of the Tian family nodded woodenly, "Good morning."
Seeing Lu Yao dressed neatly and followed by a robot carrying a bag, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you going out?"
Lu Yao bent his arms and gently pounded his waist, complaining: "I don't feel well, I want to go to the city to see a doctor."
The wife of the Tian family looked carefully, the old lady looked energetic and didn't show any problems. She glanced at Haiyue and was curious: "Take it with you?"
Lu Yao nodded: "My children are not around, I am afraid to show my timidity if I go to the doctor alone, Haiyue helps me to be brave."
The wife of the Tian family envied Lu Yao. Even at such an old age, she lived alone and wanted to see a doctor, and she could bring a robot with her. She was rich and fashionable. Lu
Yao took the initiative to ask: "You come here now, are you planning to rent a robot?"
The Tian family's wife then remembered that she had something to do. She took time to come here, and there were still a lot of things waiting for her at home. She immediately said: "Well, I want to rent a kitchen robot for an hour first, and cook a meal to see if it suits my taste."
The Tian family's wife really couldn't stand it. Every day, she helped the old man clean up the mess. When she looked at her hands while cooking, she would always think of it inadvertently. The nauseating smell seemed to linger on the tip of her nose and never dissipated. She didn't
have much appetite to begin with, and thinking of those things made her even less able to eat.
The owner's suggestion yesterday was to ask someone else to help cook. It was an idea. After thinking about it, hiring a robot to cook might be the best way.
Robots are just machines, not people.
Looking at the food made by the robot, she probably wouldn't have imagined whether those hands had taken out those things before.
Lu Yao didn't fully understand the twists and turns of the Tian family's wife's inner activities. He just thought that it was a good thing that she was willing to try. He didn't persuade her to rent it for a few more hours, and asked Xingtang to handle the rental procedures for the customer.
Lu Yao watched the Tian family's wife lead Keluli away.
The motorcycle was already waiting, and she hurriedly asked Haiyue to go out.
Only when people gather together will there be cars to pick up passengers. The villagers rely on small batteries and motorcycles for their daily lives.
A motorcycle costs five yuan to carry one person and six yuan to carry two people.
It is said that this was the price ten years ago and it is still the same ten years later.
Haiyue is a humanoid robot, with a height of 175 cm. The body material is relatively light, and the actual weight is about the same as Luyao.
Because they are going to the city, Luyao matched Haiyue with a set of clothes, a mask, gloves and a hat. If you don't look closely, they are almost the same as a real person.
Luyao and Haiyue took a bus to the main street in the town and spent six yuan. They stood at the intersection with their bags, waiting for the bus.
The bus in the town runs every half an hour, and it takes two and a half hours to get to the city. Luyao
was lucky. After standing for ten minutes, the bus came.
On a weekday, not a holiday, there were not many people on this kind of rural route bus. Lu Yao took Haiyue on the bus smoothly and sat in the front seat.
Half an hour later, Lu Mingxiao, who was in vacation mode in Tonghua Town, suddenly found that the old lady named Lu Yao was moving out of the mountain.
The problems in the town have not been solved. Is she planning to escape?
Unfortunately, the Godless Land is different from other worlds. There is no escape, no compromise, and no right to give up.
There are only two ways to go in the Godless Land.
Either die, or suffer and die.
Lu Mingxiao thought of those extremely bright eyes and thought that she was not that naive. He suddenly became curious about her purpose of going out.
----
Two and a half hours later, Lu Yao and Haiyue came out of the station and arrived at the county town smoothly.
Lu Yao stood at the roadside and hesitated for a moment, ignoring the motorcycles and taxis soliciting passengers on the roadside, holding Haiyue's arm, and slowly moved to find a bus.
She decided to follow the original plan and go to the hospital for treatment.
Lu Yao registered at the county hospital and took the elevator to the third floor to find the clinic.
The same procedures apply to seeing a doctor, queuing up to register, queuing up to see a doctor, queuing up to pay, queuing up to get medicine, which is really and troublesome as if you are in a shopping mall.
It was already past noon when they came out of the hospital.
Lu Yao found a small noodle restaurant downstairs of the hospital and ordered a bowl of shredded potato noodles with pork.
The trip to the hospital did not break Lu Yao's stereotype of hospitals, but there was a small thing that made her a little concerned.
Lu Yao registered in the lobby on the first floor, took the elevator upstairs, and met a woman who was about fifty years old.
The woman's expression and voice were exaggerated. With a faintly embarrassed smile, she hurriedly squeezed into the elevator and stood in the corner, not knowing whether she was explaining to others or talking to herself.
The woman said that she didn't know how to take the elevator. She usually went up and down the stairs by stairs. Just then, she saw someone else press the elevator, so she took a ride. The woman
was a caregiver. The ward was on the seventh floor. It was not easy to go up and down every time.
As for who the sick person was, Lu Yao didn't hear.
The bacon and potato shreds noodles were very fragrant, but Lu Yao didn't have a good appetite and only ate half a bowl.
After coming out of the noodle shop, Lu Yao was a little confused for a while, not knowing where to go. Later, he took Haiyue's hand and slowly strolled to the nearby farmers' market.
Lu Yao bought a few nectarines at a small stall. The fruit had just come into the market and smelled delicious.
Lu Yao was tired from shopping and sat on a short step on the street to rest. He instructed Haiyue to buy her a few more things. Lu Yao
sat tiredly on the busy street like a real 70-year-old man. He wanted to take a break, but suddenly realized that she seemed to have been sitting for too long and couldn't get up. The nectarines she had just bought were in a transparent plastic bag and were next to her legs.
Haiyue hadn't come back yet, and Lu Yao's eyes fell on the passers-by.
The woman carrying vegetables, the man with his hands in his pockets, the person walking and chatting with his companion, the woman who just came out of the supermarket, the tofu vendor on the roadside, the worker pruning trees on the sidewalk... none of them are suitable candidates...
Suddenly, a bright pink color entered the crowd. Lu
Yao frowned slightly, wondering why this person was here, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
She took a deep breath, waited for the young man to approach, and called out, "Young man, give me a hand, I can't stand up after sitting for too long."
Lu Mingxiao tilted his head and looked down at the old lady sitting on the steps.
He thought a lot, but he never expected that she had been sitting here just because she couldn't stand up.
After a slight hesitation, he met those overly young and expectant eyes, turned his feet, bent down and stretched out his hand.
Lu Yao grabbed Lu Mingxiao's hand, and when he stood up, he felt that his joints were like old screws hanging on an old machine, making a squeaking sound. Fortunately, after some troubles, it finally worked smoothly again.
Lu Mingxiao pulled her to stand steadily, and then squatted down to help her pick up the nectarines on the ground. Lu Yao
thanked him, turned his body and reached into the plastic bag, took out two reddish and green nectarines, and stuffed them into his hand.
Haiyue hurried over with large and small bags of things, and bowed to Lu Mingxiao repeatedly to thank him.
Lu Mingxiao stood at the street corner, holding two peaches in his hands, watching Lu Yao lead the robot into a taxi.
This evil demon is a little strange.
It was unlike anything he had seen before.
