Chapter 21 Aren't you going to cry out in pain?
The autumn harvest is a heavy task, and a grown man is so tired after a day's work that he can't even speak.
Yin Xiaoyin felt as if her body no longer belonged to her, and she was only holding on by sheer willpower.
Most people took a break in the morning and afternoon.
After returning from Qingcheng County, Yin Xiaoyin began working under the scorching sun without stopping for a moment.
Aunt Li clicked her tongue in the shade and said, "This young girl is quite capable."
One of the female educated youths couldn't help but advise, "Xiaoyin, you took half a day off. Even if you don't finish the work, the village chief won't say anything."
Yin Xiaoyin took a sip of water and caught her breath, then looked at her seriously: "The most important thing in life is to keep your promises. I have already promised the village chief, and it was a promise I made after my assessment, so I must fulfill it."
After listening to this, Ji Yueyan looked thoughtful. She stood up, picked up her farm tools, and walked over to Yin Xiaoyin: "Let's go together..."
As night fell, Yin Xiaoyin and Ji Yueyan returned to the educated youth settlement.
I was so weak that I didn't want to say a word.
Yin Xiaoyin raised her hand to change her dirty clothes, and unconsciously hissed, gritting her teeth as she was about to do it.
Ji Yueyan had just finished tidying up the firewood that everyone had gathered in the yard when she entered the house and saw that her fair back had peeled off a layer of skin, and it was so red that it looked like you could see the flesh underneath.
"You're getting so sunburned, don't you even complain of pain?"
Ji Yueyan's face darkened.
Yin Xiaoyin grimaced as she changed her clothes, then tugged at her clothes in a soft and cute way and said, "It only hurts a little bit, I can bear it."
Because all the pain you feel right now is worthwhile.
She is no longer a robot that transcends ordinary people; she gets sunburned, she goes hungry, she gets tired, she gets exhausted...
Such an experience will imbue her future mechanical research with greater emotional depth.
"Do you have any medicine with you?"
Yin Xiaoyin scratched her head, pulled out her first-aid kit, and looked at Ji Yueyan with a blank expression: "Actually, you don't need to apply medicine. It will get better on its own after a while!"
Ji Yueyan couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Do you really think you're made of iron? Apply the medicine."
Yin Xiaoyin pouted angrily, then obediently handed the ointment to Ji Yueyan, asking her to help apply it. As Ji Yueyan applied the ointment, the cool, refreshing ointment made her hiss incessantly.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Then she heard Ji Yueyan snort coldly: "Didn't you say it didn't hurt?"
Then Yin Xiaoyin felt the ointment being rubbed into her skin with great force. Waaah, Ji Yueyan is not gentle anymore.
After applying the ointment, Yin Xiaoyin picked up Ji Yueyan and placed her on the bed. Looking at the things in the room, she said, "I'll help you tidy up."
Yin Xiaoyin actually wanted to say that she could still manage. She had a lot of things, and she had just hurriedly put them in the room. Now they looked messy and affected others.
But faced with Ji Yueyan's gaze, he had no choice but to admit defeat and hold up his finger: "I only need to rest for five minutes."
Ji Yueyan ignored her. She had never seen anyone who couldn't take care of themselves. How could someone get hurt without even crying out in pain?
Yin Xiaoyin swung her legs, staring in disbelief at Ji Yueyan's speed in packing. It seemed like only a few minutes had passed, and many things had been neatly put away.
"Alright, they should have used up most of the kitchen. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Ji Yueyan spoke up.
The robot has a limited diet, so she's been eating plain white cakes lately.
Upon hearing this question, their eyes lit up instantly: "There's meat! Shall we eat meat?"
Ji Yueyan took out a large amount of cornmeal and cured meat and made meat pies for Yin Xiaoyin. However, she herself was still eating her own rations, which were hard to swallow, such as wheat bran cakes. There was no more mixed grain flour, because her rations were already limited and were almost gone by this time of year.
Ji Yueyan handed the meat patty she made to Yin Xiaoyin. Yin Xiaoyin's eyes sparkled; the meat tasted absolutely delicious.
"You eat too."
She passed the other one to Ji Yueyan.
Ji Yueyan frowned and waved her hand, "I've already eaten in the kitchen."
But Ji Yueyan didn't really eat much; it was just a wheat bran cake the size of half a fist, which wasn't enough to fill her stomach.
Yin Xiaoyin didn't say much, she didn't know either, she just stuffed the pancake into Ji Yueyan's mouth, and then said with a look of disgust: "Ugh, it's all covered in your saliva. If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."
Then, with an air of arrogance, he turned his back to Ji Yueyan.
Ji Yueyan silently munched on the meat pie. The aroma of the white flour and meat was simply irresistible.
After finishing dinner, Yin Xiaoyin took out the books, casually sat on the floor, and began to read.
Ji Yueyan and two other educated youths were overjoyed to see so many books. With Yin Xiaoyin's permission, they also carefully flipped through them.
But the two sides are like two different worlds.
Yin Xiaoyin reads ten lines at a glance, and in no time, she has finished reading the book and placed it aside.
Ji Yueyan and the other two probably haven't even finished reading the first chapter yet.
Chen Mengyue couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyin, isn't it a bit of a waste of books for you to look at them like this..."
She thought Yin Xiaoyin was just flipping through it for fun.
Most of the educated youth were well-educated and cherished books, so seeing Yin Xiaoyin like this, they felt it was a waste of her talents.
Yin Xiaoyin snapped out of her book. She wasn't in the mood for chatting, so she simply shook her head to indicate that she wasn't.
As data from one volume after another entered her mind, Yin Xiaoyin gained a clearer understanding of the level of agricultural machinery technology development in this matter.
Machinery suitable for this era also found a direction for manufacturing and improvement.
There were several boxes of books, quite a lot, but Yin Xiaoyin had already finished reading them all.
She tidied up her own area, and the three people still under the lamp saw Yin Xiaoyin climb into bed and say to them, "I'm going to rest now. I've been watching a lot, so I need to digest it."
Ji Yueyan looked away. Some people may be born geniuses, and she believed that Yin Xiaoyin was one of them.
Chen Mengyue and the other woman thought that Yin Xiaoyin was just looking at the books for fun, and sighed. If they had that many books, they would definitely read them carefully.
However, they couldn't understand the formulas for calculating the manufacturing tools for tractor parts on the first page.
My eyes were wide open, but the process didn't seem to register in my mind.
Moreover, they discovered that these books were all about agricultural machinery, which naturally saddened them. Now that they have gone to the countryside, they have a deeper understanding of the hardships farmers endure in farming and have even done the work themselves. If there were machinery to help, it would definitely be much easier.
Of course, people have selfish motives.
If they can understand these machines, one day, for example, if the village gets a tractor, and they know how to use it, perhaps they could be considered for related job opportunities!
However, if these things were easy to understand, then scientists wouldn't be such an unattainable force.
They were so sleepy their eyes were trembling, but they hadn't even touched the first formula or turned the first page. In the end, they could only carefully place a leaf as a bookmark and go back to their own beds to rest.

Xu Qingyan had been waiting.
He was waiting for the owner of the pen.
Unfortunately, no one has shown up since then.
The strange incident last time seemed to have frightened Victor and the others. In the past few days, apart from bringing him food, they have not easily stepped into this room.
Therefore, this also gave Xu Qingyan a lot of time.
Not far away was Mr. Robert's residence. He was a compassionate and upright man who was indignant at this thuggish way of detaining talented people. In his view, the country should attract and retain talented people with benefits or sincerity.
Therefore, when Xu Qingyan begged him for help, he couldn't help but waver.
After all, Xu Qingyan had promised to give him the wealth he had accumulated over the years. Robert said that he was just an ordinary person, but he couldn't help it because Mr. Xu had given him too much.
Therefore, Robert has already found a way to help Xu Qingyan obtain a passport with a different identity.
Once the time is right, Xu Qingyan can take a cruise ship and travel back to China.
That day, Xu Qingyan solemnly received the visa and passport from Mr. Robert and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."
Mr. Robert sighed. People are born with their own stances, and he wholeheartedly supported keeping a talent like Xu Qingyan if Yuan Li were to stay.
In his view, although their country has a relatively complex structure, they are living a good life.
So he couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Xu, I really can't understand your desire to return to your so-called motherland. Wherever we are, that is our motherland, isn't that right?"
"Look at us, the country that's come together, aren't we doing pretty well now?"
"and……"
Mr. Robert frowned, finding it hard to understand: "As far as I know, China's current situation is not good. Their technological development is slow domestically. If you go back, you will not only have no use for your skills, but you may not even be able to get enough to eat. Internationally, I don't need to say more. You know China's predicament. They have even offended the only major power that can oppose us. We will no longer have any scruples about it in the future."
"Why would you give up a good life and go back? You should know that the visa and passport I found for you are not completely safe. It is very possible that you will lose your life because of your foolish decision to go back."
Xu Qingyan chuckled softly: "If it benefits the country, I will risk my life; how can I avoid it because of personal fortune or misfortune?"
Robert didn't understand, and just shook his head. It seemed he couldn't persuade Mr. Xu. However, once he took over Mr. Xu's assets, perhaps he could create a laboratory...
Xu Qingyan was well aware of her current situation, so she did not rashly try to escape.
He was waiting for the right opportunity.
An opportunity that cannot be missed.
These days, he's just like before, except he's staying in a hotel and still being arranged by Witt to go to the laboratory.
Faced with the constant pressure to produce results, Xu Qingyan seemed to have started to take things seriously, and the research made some slight progress. The person in charge snorted coldly: "There's a saying in China: 'If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences.' As for Mr. Zhou, let's spare his life for now..."
Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning of this.
He directly stated that if this research were to continue, it would be necessary to obtain Mr. Zhou's assistance with mathematical deductions.
After Witt and others reported the incident, Mr. Zhou was sent to the laboratory.
However, they were kept under strict surveillance. Except when they went back to their hotel rooms to rest, they were always accompanied by someone.
However, this is not a problem for clever people.
Mr. Zhou learned from the clues left by Xu Qingyan during his daily research that Xu Qingyan was trying her best to return to China. In addition, in order to save Mr. Zhou's life, Xu Qingyan also directly entrusted the key to this research to Mr. Zhou.
Country M attaches great importance to this research, so even if they discover that Xu Qingyan has left, they will keep Mr. Zhou until the research yields results.
However, this delay has limited time...
Xu Qingyan decided to gamble again; he wanted to go back and try for another opportunity.
He wasn't trying to save just one Mr. Zhou, but the countless "Mr. Zhous" left abroad.
Mr. Zhou understood Xu Qingyan very well and implied that Xu Qingyan did not need to worry about him. He had lived a whole life and could not become a tool for others to hinder the younger generation.
"Don't worry about me. I've lived my whole life, and I wouldn't regret dying today. Go back to China. If you can go back, the country will have more technological strength and become stronger. That's my lifelong hope."
From the perspective of the foreigners, Xu Qingyan and Mr. Zhou did not exchange any information or make any other gestures besides discussing research in the laboratory, so they were always at ease.
But they had no idea that the intelligence of the Chinese people was not superficial; the research data discussed unintentionally had already fulfilled the mission of exchanging codes.
When Xu Qingyan returned to the hotel from the laboratory, Victor and the others still saw her off at the door, but she refused to go inside.
After that incident, they invited a lot of people over. Even the scientists who had always insisted on science were starting to have doubts about life. They tested the liquid and found that it was actually blood.
However, the blood had no container and seemed to have appeared out of thin air!
This made the scientists question the meaning of life, and some even proposed the idea that the end of science is theology.
However, Xu Qingyan just listened and laughed.
He even lay in bed, murmuring softly to the ceiling, "If there really is a God, why doesn't He save us?"
Even with his experience of being reborn, Xu Qingyan still doesn't believe in gods and ghosts; instead, he is even more convinced of his materialistic beliefs.
In his view, these so-called memories might be the result of some kind of magnetic field coming together and unfolding in his mind according to the laws of development.
He finished the dinner provided by the hotel—a sandwich and salad, which included meat. He couldn't say whether it tasted good or bad, but in short, it was definitely nutritious enough.
I drank another glass of milk, which I thought would help me sleep.
Xu Qingyan prepared to take a shower and go to bed. The day he planned to "escape" was getting closer and closer, and he needed to take good care of his health in order to better cope with the situation.
The bathroom in the room was very luxurious, with a jade bathtub, a shower with adjustable temperature, and a variety of bath products.
Xu Qingyan soaked herself in the bathtub, closed her eyes, and pondered.
