Pollution throughout the territory

In the amusement park in Dongpu City, wooden benches are close to the cobblestone path. Qin Yun is sitting on the bench thinking about Xia Ren.

Lily was sitting on her left hand, holding a red windmill in her hand, her two short legs hanging on the edge of the chair, rocking back and forth, looking extremely cute.

Lu Yi folded his hands in front of him, stood upright, and looked forward, but there was not much energy in his eyes, as if he was in a daze.

As a vending robot, she has never been used after being lured here by Xia Ren at the ultra-low price of two thousand per month. Although Lu Yi doesn't have many ideas, after such a long time, she still sometimes Feeling uneasy, in the past perception, it was impossible for them to allow themselves to eat without working.

However, she had forgotten everything in the past, and she could never remember who "they" meant.

"elder sister."

Lily suddenly pulled Qin Yun's clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"There."

Lily pointed in the distance with her fleshy little hand: "What is that person doing?"

"Let me see."

Qin Yun looked in the direction of her finger and found a large, domed shed over there. Under the shed was a merry-go-round that was rising and falling in circles.

A man with a short stubble on his face and an extremely haggard face stood beside him.

It was November and it had already snowed several times, but the clothes on the man were a little thin and sloppy.

His eyes were red, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep in who knows how many days. His whole person had a decadent temperament, and he felt as if he would fall down in the next second.

The wooden horse carried children and parents who were laughing and laughing. Every time the wooden horse turned around, the man shed a few tears.

He looked at them as if he was seeing the happiness he had in the past.

Qin Yun could tell at a glance that the man's heart was dead and he was just a pile of sad meatballs.

The breeze blew and the leaves rustled.

A slightly fat woman with short hair and a boy with a watermelon head appeared next to the man without any warning.

They were affectionate and dull, with no sparkle in their eyes, like puppets.

The people around turned a blind eye to this and were still going about their own business. Under the winter sunshine, the situation was a little strange.

"Honey."

"dad."

The fat woman and the boy called each other softly.

Hearing the familiar voice, the man opened his eyes in disbelief and turned his head stiffly.

The scene in front of him seemed like a dream. The man's throat seemed to be choked by something, and his voice trembled; "Xiaolan, Xiaoxiao?"

The originally dull faces of the slightly fat woman and the boy gained a bit more expression when they heard the man calling their names.

"You didn't leave me, you came back..."

With tears in his eyes, the man hugged them excitedly.

The expressions of the two gradually became richer as the man spoke word by word.

"I won't leave..."

The fat woman caressed the man's thin cheek.

Qin Yun, who witnessed this scene, raised her head.

High above the concrete buildings, the green Mother Tree of Mercy stretches its branches, casting a shadow over the entire city.

Qin Yun has seen similar scenes many times in the past few days.

Whether it was the patients who died innocently because of the larval swarm that night, or the lives that later passed away due to various reasons, the fact that they left has been forgotten by everyone.

The Mother Tree of Compassion will transform into substitutes for the deceased and heal people's grief, but all this comes at a price.

Qin Yun recalled the introduction of the Mother Tree of Compassion that the housing agent had told her, and sighed, not sure whether it was good or bad.

She looked away and fell on Lily who was watching the reunion scene in front of the carousel attentively.

In the past, Lily never cared about what other people were like, but since she entered the dreamland with Xia Ren that night and woke up, Lily has undergone some changes.

This change is very subtle and cannot be noticed unless you observe carefully. For example, Lily seems to be interested in human emotions now.

Alas, it would be great if Xia Ren was here.

Qin Yun touched Lily's hair and thought about Xia Ren again.

"When will he come back..."

In the palm of her hand, Lily, who was rubbing her hair, suddenly trembled.

"Aba Aba..."

A slightly naive voice sounded in his ears, and a figure stood in front of Qin Yun at some unknown moment.

Xia Ren carried the backpack he carried when he left, and held a baby Lily in his arms.

Baby Lily doesn't have as high an IQ as her real body. She can't even speak. After seeing her real body, she can only wave her fleshy limbs and say "Aba, Aba" in a voice similar to that of a dementia patient. Call.

"dad!"

When she saw her master coming back, Lily threw away the windmill in her hand, jumped down from the bench, ran towards Xia Ren on her short legs, and hugged his thigh.

"No, how many times have I told you, your father is dead and I am your brother."

Xia Ren patted the baby body Lily in his arms on her head, and the two fused together like jelly.

As soon as he finished doing this, Xia Ren felt his vision go dark, and the plump Qin Yun rushed towards him.

Xia Ren was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to step aside or immediately crouch down to avoid it, but either way, it didn't look good.

While he was struggling, Qin Yun had already opened his arms and hugged him tightly.

Xia Ren had no choice but to catch the opponent and spin a few times to remove the force of the attack. Fortunately, the softness of Qin Yun's chest offset most of the impact, otherwise Xia Ren might have to spin a few more times.

In this process, Lily also participated as a leg pendant and was not left aside.

"I'm so worried about you." Qin Yun reluctantly left Xia Ren.

"Don't worry, I'm very fierce."

Xia Ren patted his chest (his own).

Lu Yi stood next to them, watching Qin Yun and Lily pounce on them, and was hesitating in her heart whether she should pounce on them too.

He was about to go up, but looking at the harmonious atmosphere there, Lu Yi blinked and suddenly thought that he was different from Qin Yun and the others.

So the foot that took a step was taken back again.

"Hey, Lu Yi."

Xia Ren called her.

Lu Yi raised his head and saw Xia Ren standing there in the sun, looking at him with a smile.

Lily held one of his hands and jumped up and down, and Qin Yun also waved her over.

"Don't stand there in a daze, let's go celebrate."

Lu Yi was stunned.

"Um."

…

…

"Can't sleep?"

Qin Yun was wearing pajamas, her long hair falling behind her shoulders, and she was walking towards this side.

Xia Ren sat on the window frame of the living room, looking at the Mother Tree of Mercy that blocked the starry sky with her deep eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Qin Yun was not anxious to wait for his answer. She also came to the window and quietly watched the sky outside with him.

A long time passed.

"Let's go hiking."

Xia Ren suddenly said.

Qin Yun replied without thinking: "Okay, I haven't climbed a mountain in a long time."

She didn't ask why, but Xia Ren took the initiative to explain:

"It's time to go see my parents."
