"you are leaving?"
Early in the morning in Rivet Town, Natasha heard news that surprised her.
Although she didn't hear the conversation between Yao Luo and the woman last night, she didn't expect Yao Luo to leave so decisively.
"Well, that's right." Yao Luo's attitude was firm. Since he had decided to go to the upper area, he would not stay any longer.
"Yes...because who last night..." Natasha hesitated. Yaoluo had saved her and Peter. Although she was busy with work recently, she always wanted to find an opportunity to repay Yaoluo, so she put Yaoluo in the orphanage. , she was relieved.
"The children like you very much." She looked at the children playing outside the window, and there seemed to be some desire to stay in her tone.
Yao Luo was silent. During the few days in this small town, he also played with the children. Although the children in this place were a little naughty, their hearts were undoubtedly kind.
Natasha taught them the principles of life, and Yaoluo sometimes told them some things outside this planet. The children in the lower district couldn't believe it, and some of them had sparkling eyes.
Not to mention that outside this planet, even in this urban area where the sky and the sun cannot be seen, children also have sparkling dreams.
Some children want to be a doctor like Natasha, some want to be a silver-maned iron guard in the upper class, and there are also some simple children who just want to eat well and live well. After all, survival in this place may be a problem. .
You don't know when the world will be broken apart and it will take people's lives. Even in the lower areas, children may not know it very well, but there is no adult in the lower areas who is not worried about it.
"Natasha, you know what happened that day..." Natasha looked a little downcast when she mentioned that day. Yaoluo continued, "The expansion of the world will not stop. I believe you have already made plans. Lower level The silver-maned iron guards in the district cannot take care of everyone, so you have to prepare in advance."
Yao Luo patted Natasha on the shoulder, "I can save you once, but someone won't come to save you every time. In a world like this, sometimes you can't just rely on the salvation of others. Remember:
“When people in the upper districts have no time to take care of themselves, people in the lower districts need to save themselves.”
Opening the door, Yao Luo walked out.
"You...save yourself?" Natasha was bathing in the early morning sunshine, but her eyes were burning silently...
A hint of fire.
The first thing that reached my ears was the laughter of children.
"Brother Yaoluo, brother Yaoluo, come and play!"
The innocent happiness of children is always eye-catching. If it were the past, Yao Luo would definitely smile and do something meaningful with them, carry the children up the slide, or play some childish games with them .
But today, Yao Luo was not happy.
Cocolia stood beside the children in the orphanage, and a smile she hadn't seen for a long time seemed to appear on her face.
She is a person who loves children, and for her, children are the future of this planet, not to mention that she has the intention to visit the lower area for inspection.
"This child..." Cocolia suddenly noticed a little girl with gray hair.
She had a spiral ponytail on her head and stood alone, not playing with any of the children, neither talking nor making noise.
There was not much sparkle on her delicate and lovely face, but from the slightly bright eyes, Cocolia saw some familiar looks.
"Looking forward to a friend's look."
There was some loneliness in Cocolia's eyes. This child looked very much like her when she was a child.
Although she was in a high position, there were not many children of her own age who could communicate with Cocolia on an equal footing. When she was still young, she had to be forced to take a lot of classes and do a lot of things she didn't want to do, like A grown-up puppet.
Of course it's not that she has no friends, but she has very few friends. The two met by chance because of their interests. In Cocolia's current life, that period was the most relaxing time for her.
But everything has changed. Since she understood the eternal truth on this planet, the burden on her shoulders has become heavier. He said that the responsibility she carries almost makes her breathless.
She would always remember the sound of her faith shattering as her mentor told her the truth that afternoon in that room.
From then on, she became ruthless and calculating, and she went further and further down this road until...
There is no one who can share the same goals with her...
Her eyes returned to reality, and at some point, the child she was watching came into Cocolia's side.
"Hello, my name is Bronya." With a cute tone, Bronya's little hand gently held Cocolia's fingers.
The child in front of her seemed to see Cocolia's expression. Even though she was taciturn, she could feel the state of mind of the adult in front of her, which was a loneliness similar to her own.
Cocolia's pupils dilated, and a feeling she had never felt before spread from her fingers to her heart. Looking at the child in front of her, she never thought that her thoughts would be sensed by this child.
Cocolia squatted down and gently placed her hand on Bronya's little head, stroking it carefully and gently.
Bronya did not resist and allowed Cocolia to touch herself. From the woman in front of her, she also felt a long-lost aura that fascinated her.
"Mother's breath."
"Ahem!"
Although he couldn't bear it, Yao Luo still interrupted the warm atmosphere in front of him.
"ah!"
Cocolia, who had some maternal awakening at a young age, suddenly woke up and hurriedly stood up, as if she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but her hand seemed to be lingering on Bronnia's little head.
Looking at the warm "mother and daughter" in front of him, Yao Luo suddenly felt a sense of immediacy in his mind.
In fact, it was not until now that Yao Luo was truly sure that the Cocolia in front of him overlapped with the person in his memory.
There is no so-called two-dimensional filter in reality. On the Star Train, the Ji Zi that Yao Luo saw was actually only nine points similar to the person in his impression, and the same is true here.
It wasn't until he saw Bronya and Xiao Xi'er appearing together that he was sure of their identities. The Cocolia in front of him was actually different from the person in his impression.
At least in terms of age and development, she is still far away...
"You came on time, Yaoluo." After Yaoluo saw the unknown side of herself, Cocolia could only change the topic in a hurry, and just had to talk to him about the upper-class red herrings that she was familiar with. tips, such as chatting about the weather in Belloberg.
"Same for you." After taking up the topic, Yao Luo had some fun. These two people can really meet each other no matter where they are. In Mi Huyou's previous works, the relationship between the two was tortuous. Although I don't know how it will be interpreted here, but Yao Luo feels interesting when he sees "familiar" people doing familiar things in front of him.
"After all, the future is shaped by someone." Yao Luo silently looked at the "sky" in the lower area.
It was a sky-reaching building wrapped in huge gears. Rather than reaching the sky, it was better to say that it was a body smashed down from the sky.
In the lower areas where sunlight is never seen all day long, this thing before our eyes is people's "sky".
Seeing where Yao Luo was looking, Cocolia was also a little silent. She seemed to know what Yao Luo was thinking.
Bronya looked at the two adults who were worried, and she didn't understand. After all, in the world of children, it is always difficult for adults to understand.
"Let's go." Yao Luo had already packed his equipment last night. In this world, he had nothing to bring.
Before leaving, Cocolia took off a hairpin from her head. She gently placed the hairpin on Bronya's closed hands.
Looking at the innocent and cute child in front of her, Cocolia gently put her head to her ear:
"I'll see you again, little Bronya."
After touching the child's little face, Cocolia turned and left. There was no need for her to stay in this place. She should devote herself to more important causes at the moment.
Natasha stood at the door of the orphanage and watched the two people leaving. Soon, she would go to the place where she worked, where she would continue to rescue the bodies of the people in the lower city, but for some reason, After hearing Yao Luo's advice, she wanted to do one thing:
To save the hearts of the people in the lower class areas.
Even this goal is too ambitious and overestimating for a doctor in a small clinic.
But as Yaoluo said, the future will change. No matter when she is waiting for someone to save her, Natasha is willing to do what she wants to do for this era.
"elder brother…"
Natasha clasped her hands together. She sincerely blessed Yaoluo's future. She hoped that such a good man would not die in today's world. If he still had the chance to return to the lower area, she would complete his unrequited kindness.
In the orphanage after the two left, little Bronya put Cocolia's hairpin on her head, revealing something that had not appeared here for a long time.
A smile of anticipation for the future.
