Chapter 2: I Traveled Through Time 3
In the small room, Wei Xi sat upright, sincerely apologizing to the tall figure in front of her: "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize your voice. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sneaked out while you were cooking. I'm sorry, I should have believed you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you..."
She was so thirsty that she had to repeat the confession over and over again, but the other party remained motionless. This made her complain in her heart: Damn it, it's a robot, oh, and it's a male robot, but it's so petty. I really want to know what kind of person designed the robot, to design a robot with such an awkward personality, it's a wonder in the world. Hey, what's that sound?
Chirp, huh...
Chirp, huh...
Why does this sound seem to come from the front?
Wei Xi wanted to stand up, but her legs became numb because she had been sitting for too long. When she stood up straight, a strong tingling sensation like an electric current ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she sat down on the ground with a cry of pain.
What was strange was that even though she was screaming so loudly, the figure with his back to her didn't move at all.
Coupled with that strange voice, Wei Xi seemed to understand something. She ran to the front and took a look, and she almost exploded with anger.
The guy who was crying and shouting that he was going to run away from home just now actually fell asleep when she apologized. Not only were his eyes closed, but there was also a big saliva bubble around his mouth.
Wei Xi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly thought of a very important thing. She was very hungry and it was getting late. If the parents of this family, her great-great-great-great-grandparents, came back, what should she do? This damn guy had only described the general situation before, but he didn't tell her some key details.
Thinking of this, Wei Xi immediately shook it: "Wake up, wake up quickly."
Wei Xi shook it like a rattle, but it didn't wake up. When Wei Xi was so anxious that he turned around, he accidentally poked the big saliva bubble.
Wei Xi immediately went to find a tissue to wipe his hands, but instead of finding any, he found a few handkerchiefs.
"It's quite retro." Wei Xi remembered that she used to wipe her hands with handkerchiefs when she was a child, and she couldn't help but miss the past.
that time……
"Xiao Xi, you have to wash your hands before eating. Wow, Xiao Xi has a runny nose."
A pair of small hands held a clean white handkerchief and put it on the nose of the young Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, blow your nose hard."
"Huh!" Xiaoxi exhaled hard obediently.
The handkerchief was taken away, and a candy was put into Xiaoxi's mouth: "Xiaoxi is so good. Xiaoxi, is the candy sweet? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. I like it the most, brother."
No, is this the time to be in a daze?
Wei Xi quickly shook her head to get rid of the sudden memories. She wiped her hands and turned around, only to meet a pair of eyes unexpectedly.
"Ah!" Wei Xi was startled. After taking a closer look, he could not help but get furious. "Why did you stand behind me without saying a word? You almost scared me to death!"
The gray mouse scratched the back of his head and said innocently, "I clearly called you just now, but you didn't answer me, so I approached you. I thought you suddenly fell asleep."
Veins on Wei Xi's forehead were throbbing: "You thought I was you, but it was you who suddenly fell asleep just now."
"Did I fall asleep again? It seems that the energy consumed in repairing the time machine is too great." Gray Mouse tilted his head and thought for a while, "I will recover slowly in the future."
Wei Xi didn't care about these things. She was more concerned about what she had just thought of. Since the gray mouse was awake, it was a good opportunity to ask it.
"You said before that I was in a coma for a few days. Then how did we live with..." Wei Xi's tongue was tied and he said with difficulty, "our great-great-great-grandparents during these days?"
The gray mouse shook his head and said, "We don't live together."
Wei Xi was a little dumbfounded: "What do you mean we didn't live together? Didn't you say that we found our great-great-great-grandmother after we traveled through time? And she went to the 25th century and we stayed here."
"So that's what you want to know," said the Gray Mouse, counting on his fingers. "One, two, three, four, five... Oh, it turns out to be seven days."
It muttered to itself for a long time, then said, "We encountered a space-time rift seven days ago. You fell into a coma, and the time machine was damaged. While I was floating in the space-time rift, I used the power of my body to repair the time machine. When the time machine was finally able to start again, we came here and met our great-great-great-grandmother. In order to make our great-great-great-grandmother believe us, I invited her into the time machine for a visit . Because you were unconscious and took up a lot of space in the time machine, I took you to the room. Unexpectedly, when our great-great-great-grandmother was alone in the time machine, the time machine suddenly started up. It was probably because it was damaged, so some parts and switches were out of control, and then our great-great-great-grandmother was taken away by the time machine, and we were forced to stay here. Just when I was at a loss, I saw that you seemed to be waking up, so I woke you up."
While listening to its explanation, Wei Xi looked at its paws and thought: It is actually wearing a pair of white gloves, will it take them off when doing housework?
"Wei Xi, this is what happened. Do you have any other questions?" asked the gray mouse.
Mi Xi nodded: "I see. In other words, we just entered this family today, and you don't know whether we will be exposed or not."
"Yes. But don't worry, the chances of not being exposed are as high as 90%. After all, you look exactly like your great-great-great-grandmother, and her parents are busy with work and don't pay much attention to her." It suddenly showed a confident smile and said, "In fact, most parents don't understand their children's true inner world, so as long as you pretend to be a good boy, there will be no problem. I swear on my reputation as a senior housekeeping robot, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Humph, a senior domestic robot?" Wei Xi exhaled heavily, emphasizing the last few words, "Who said he was new? And you dare to say you are a senior?"
Gray Mouse said unconvincedly: "Although I have never actually served in a family, my electronic core records all the useful information, so I think I am fully worthy of this title."
Wei Xi stuck out her tongue: "Shameless! By the way, why did you suddenly say you wanted to cook?"
"Of course, that's because my great-great-great-grandmother told me before she left. Ah, I remember now!" The gray mouse slapped his head and said with sudden realization, "Her parents are busy today and won't be back for dinner, so it's just the two of us eating."
As soon as she heard the word "eat", Weixi's stomach growled immediately. She was so hungry that she didn't want to wait even for a minute longer.
Although I was very hungry, I still needed to find out what I needed to know.
"Which century is this world in?" Wei Xi suddenly thought of the two uncles, "Mobile phones don't seem to be popular yet."
Gray Mouse touched his chin and said, "Yes, this is a relatively backward era. Many families don't even have a telephone, let alone a mobile phone."
"Ah, no way?" Wei Xi wailed, "Then there will be no computers and Internet either?"
The gray mouse nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, so you have to get used to it and don't let it get out of hand."
Wei Xi suddenly felt that the future was dark, but the growling of her stomach reminded her that now was not the time to think about this. The most important thing was to fill her stomach immediately.
"Okay, let's go eat. You should be able to cook quickly, right?" Wei Xi couldn't wait to go downstairs.
The gray mouse hurriedly chased after him: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Wei Xi asked as he walked down the stairs, "What's going on?"
The gray mouse said embarrassedly: "I can only cook, not dishes, so now I only have rice..."
Wei Xi almost slipped: "What did you say? You can't cook?"
"Hey, this is because there was a small problem when I installed it at the factory, which led to this result..."
The gray mouse's voice became smaller and smaller under Wei Xi's incredulous gaze, and finally he was so ashamed that he could no longer speak.
Wei Xi felt that she was so hungry that she could eat a cow, so she didn't even have the energy to complain about the fact that Gray Mouse, as a household robot, couldn't cook.
She ran to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and cupboards, and found a few eggs and a handful of greens.
"Humph, you useless guy, let me conquer you with a pot of delicious fried rice."
Weixi threw the greens into the sink, quickly washed them and cut them into strips, cracked the eggs into a bowl and beat them with salt. When she was about to scoop the rice from the pot, she suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, do you need to eat?"
Although that guy said it needed to be charged, after all, it is a robot produced in the 25th century. Maybe it can eat like the red robot dog?
"Of course I have to eat." The gray mouse held his head high and said proudly, "I am a new type of robot . Not only can I plug in the power supply to charge, use solar energy, wind energy and even tidal energy to charge, but I can also eat food directly and then convert the food into energy. It can be said that I am completely the most environmentally friendly, energy-saving and comprehensive high-tech product."
Wei Xi just said "hmm" a few times in response to its self-praise, indicating that he had heard it, but he did not expect that this would arouse the dissatisfaction of the gray mouse.
“You’ve gone too far!”
Wei Xi looked at it in astonishment, totally confused as to how she had offended it again.
On the way, it suddenly ran over and patted Wei Xi's shoulder, but was slapped by Wei Xi in the face. It burst into tears right on the spot. It was not until Wei Xi said all kinds of sweet words, followed it back obediently, and apologized for a long time in the room that it calmed down. But now she didn't say anything at all, let alone do anything, so how could it be dissatisfied?
"I heard everything just now. You called me 'that' and 'hey'. That's too much! You don't respect me. According to the robot law of the 25th century, you are breaking the law."
Wei Xi was irritated by this nitpicking guy: "That's enough! Don't think that I am easy to bully just because I tolerate you."
Seeing Wei Xi getting angry, Gray Mouse spoke louder than her: "Then what's my name?"
Wei Xi was speechless because she had no idea.
Wei Xi's silence made Gray Mouse even more aggressive: "Humph, I knew you didn't care about me at all, otherwise how could you not even remember my name? So I want to punish you, you have to wash the dishes this week! No, you have to do all the housework."
Wow wow wow——
It was as if a flock of crows flew over Nevermind's head.
"Don't push your luck!" Wei Xi chopped hard, and the knife, which was shining with cold light, suddenly stood on the chopping board. "I don't even know your name! Did you tell me?"
After saying this, Wei Xi actually felt a little guilty, fearing that the gray mouse would discover the flaw.
In fact, Wei Xi has been wondering what is going on, but after thinking about it, she feels that the only reason is that she traveled through time.
Maybe when Gray Mouse and Mixi from the 25th century traveled through time, many incredible things happened, and Mixi from the 25th century exchanged identities with her.
Although Wei Xi felt uneasy about coming to this world inexplicably, when she thought about her own experience, she felt that it didn't matter if she changed her identity.
No one cares about her anyway, right? Why not start over in this world?
She can't be so unlucky that she happens to have a pair of workaholic parents who live abroad all year round and a brother with an astonishingly great aura of genius, right?
Just when Wei Xi was feeling a little depressed, she heard Gray Mouse say embarrassedly: "Huh? So it seems that I really didn't tell you my name. My name is Error Code 123."
"What?" Wei Xi thought she had misheard and couldn't help asking, "What did you say just now, your name is 123?"
"Error code 123."
Wei Xi couldn't believe her ears: "Why... why is there such a strange name?"
"It's not surprising!" Gray Mouse said proudly, "This name was chosen by the factory supervisor after using advanced computer calculations when I was leaving the factory. It's great. Error code, what a high-end term. 123, what smooth numbers. This name is easy to remember and meaningful, and makes my colleagues who left the factory with me very envious."
Wei Xi turned around, with his back to the intoxicated gray mouse, and used cutting vegetables to hide the fact that he was shaking all over because of his giggles.
But what's the point of a household robot that can't cook?
Wei Xi held the knife and suddenly thought of something: As a robot in the future world, shouldn't he have a portable four-dimensional pocket like the famous robot dog?
This is what Wei Xi has always dreamed of! How can he miss such an opportunity right in front of him?
She turned around excitedly, looking at Error Code 123 with sparkling eyes: "Xiaoyi, do you have a four-dimensional pocket?"
Error code 123 said dissatisfiedly: " My name is Error code 123, not Xiaoyi!"
"Oh, your name is too long and difficult to pronounce. It's simpler and more convenient to call you Xiaoyi. It's settled. Protests are invalid." Wei Xi decided to simplify the name directly.
Error code 123 puffed up its cheeks in dissatisfaction. Its eyes were completely blocked by the exaggerated colorful butterfly glasses, so Wei Xi couldn't see its eyes, but seeing its puffed cheeks was both funny and cute.
Why did I think it was scary when I first saw it? It was a childish, crybaby, and cute guy.
But this is not the point now, so she put aside this thought and asked the question again: "Xiaoyi, do you have a four-dimensional pocket?"
Error code 123 asked inexplicably: "What is this?"
"Is this really something that only happens in comics?"
Mixi dejectedly told Error Code 123 about the content of the comic "Robot Dog". Unexpectedly, Error Code 123 dragged out his voice and said, "So you want children's toys and tools from the 25th century."
"Yeah." Wei Xi used chopsticks to pick at the eggs, "Anyway, you have nothing and you can't do anything..."
Alas, when others met the robot dog from the future, they got a good helper and a good friend. But when it was her turn, not only did she get nothing, but she also seemed to have an extra burden to take care of?
Wei Xi was about to lament, but she heard Error Code 123 slowly say, "I have it."
"What?" Wei Xi turned her head in surprise, "What did you say you had?"
"I have children's toys and tools from the 25th century." Error Code 123 said easily, "I carry them with me. Otherwise, what do you think I use to repair the time machine?"
Hallelujah!
God, I praise you!
Wei Xi's ears seemed to ring with cheerful bells, and the error code 123 in front of him seemed to radiate countless holy lights, and there were many cute little angels surrounding its head, blowing trumpets and scattering flowers.
Just when Wei Xi was excitedly preparing to ask Error Code 123 to take out those things to see if there were any useful tools, Error Code 123's next sentence sent her to hell.
"However, when I traveled through the space-time rift again, my program was strongly disturbed, causing errors and confusion, and I forgot the password to the toolbox. Although I have the toolbox now, I can't open it."
Wei Xi turned around silently and started to make fried rice.
She flipped the spatula vigorously, treating the rice and eggs as error code 123, shoveling, turning, and pressing them vigorously, and finally put them into a plate and placed it heavily on the dining table.
"Have a meal!"
