Chapter 26: Chapter 26 The Sickly Brothers
Nian Shutong, carrying the delicate Rubble, returned to the small wooden house.
Before even crossing the river, she saw Fu Yunhe lying on the chair, showing no sign of breathing.
With a “snap,” Nian Shutong threw down the rope in her hand, and the unsteady Rubble behind her hit his head with a “thud.”
Sitting up with a look of grievance, Rubble saw Nian Shutong dashing across the river, and he still had time to admire her agile figure.
“Short legs, why can you run so fast? That’s unscientific, is it because of too much kinetic energy?”
Nian Shutong heard him but didn’t have time to pay attention to Rubble, as she had already reached Fu Yunhe’s side and grabbed the arm binding the Light Computer.
“Not dead…” The weak voice didn’t slow down Nian Shutong’s actions.
She put her other hand on Fu Yunhe’s pulse, paused for a moment, and said, “Good, you’re alright.”
Fu Yunhe turned his eyes to glance at Nian Shutong. It must be hard for you, turning a caring word into something so flat and emotionless.
“I’m hungry.” Fu Yunhe was mainly famished and out of strength, and he didn’t want to drink the nutrient liquid just yet.
Of course, if Nian Shutong didn’t return, he would have to drink it.
Nian Shutong withdrew her hand and looked at Fu Yunhe lying there, then at Rubble, who was still sitting on the opposite bank.
Both had come upon her.
First, she went to the other side of the river, dragged Rubble back, and of course, the main thing was to fetch the corn.
“There’s water… there’s water… Rubble doesn’t like it.”
“Do you prefer wet feet or a wet body?” Nian Shutong’s threat couldn’t be more obvious.
Rubble, sitting on the side and waiting, sensing the threat to his life, immediately stood up and said meekly, “Rubble can overcome it.”
“That’s the spirit!” Nian Shutong’s smile sent a chill down Rubble’s spine.
Rubble spoke softly, “Despite Rubble’s beauty and intelligence, please don’t be jealous. Rubble is very useful, and moreover, Rubble has the mission of carrying on the legacy of the entire Mechanical Clan.”
“Ha ha ha… Quick, walk! I don’t have time to deal with you.” Nian Shutong crossed the river first, followed closely by Rubble on tiptoes.
Nian Shutong brought Rubble to Fu Yunhe’s side and said to both, “Why don’t the two of you exchange some survival tips?”
After saying that, Nian Shutong walked away, leaving Fu Yunhe and Rubble to stare at each other.
“Were you the robot from yesterday?”
“Rubble is not a robot, Rubble is from the High-class Race, the Mechanical Clan.”
“Are you from the legendary Mechanical Clan that can’t carry on shoulders or lift with hands?”
“The Mechanical Clan is a carrier of knowledge and doesn’t need to do physical work.”
“Right, so you went extinct.”
“That’s not correct. Extinction means none are left, but Rubble is still alive, bearing a great mission of inheritance. The Mechanical Clan will rise to glory again.” Rubble finished speaking and turned his back on Fu Yunhe.
“Are you angry then?” Fu Yunhe was somewhat curious; he hadn’t dealt with the Mechanical Clan before.
“Rubble is not angry, just doesn’t want to see you.”
Fu Yunhe raised an eyebrow. Not angry, huh? But he didn’t press further.
On the other side, Nian Shutong, who was boiling the corn, waved and called out, “Ladies, dinner time.”
Fu Yunhe glanced at Rubble and said, “She’s calling you.”
Rubble turned his head and replied, “She said two ladies, number 2, gender female. But Rubble is male, so she wasn’t calling me, she was calling you.”
“I’m a man.” Fu Yunhe’s words made Rubble turn around, his large head staring at Fu Yunhe for a while.
“All your appearance features and skin texture are in the category of a woman; what proof do you have that you’re not a woman?”
“Heh… I have proof, but I’m not showing you.”
After saying that, Fu Yunhe prepared to use the chair to stand up, but when he got up, dizziness struck, and he instinctively grabbed something.
Nian Shutong looked back and saw Fu Yunhe getting up, swaying, grabbing Rubble next to him.
Nian Shutong first looked up at the sky, then down at the two feeble brothers.
