Chapter 1710 Human Pursuit


    "Only the elderly and children can stay in this town. When the children grow up, they naturally want to go to lively places." The old lady sighed: "Soulan is the same. She said when she was a child that she would live here for the rest of her life."


    Based on the current average life expectancy of District 019, when Solan moved to this town, the bakery owner and some people were only thirty or forty years old. Compared with the entire life expectancy period, it is okay to be a teenager in his thirty or forty years old, but people in the town have a different kindness towards Solan.


    Yes, it is love.


    Generally speaking, it is difficult for people to develop an infinitely tolerant mentality towards children in their prime. This should be the love name of the previous generation of people living here, people of the age of old ladies.


    The official announcement of Master Solan''s life expectancy is 125 years old, which means that she left Dingdinghua Town a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, there were many children in this town. Of course, in a hundred years, those children are now close to 140 years old. If they had given birth to their offspring earlier, their descendants would have been several generations.


    However, Solan''s interpersonal network does not mention his companions who grew up in Dingdinghua Town.


    "They moved out very early, and later like Xiao Solan, they never came back." The old lady thought for a while and said, "I heard that some of them moved to other districts, and some died of accidents when they were not old. As for whether they had contacted Xiao Solan, I don''t know."


    "Did they move away when Master Solan was 20 years old?" Xu Huo asked.


    The old lady glanced at him and said, "That''s not the case. She left one after another. After all, she is old and Xiao Solan moved away in less than two years."


    Xu Huo asked the names of several friends in towns with good relationship with Solan, and asked the old lady if she had collected Solan''s paintings.


    Solan had many paintings before he became famous, but they were basically exposed after he became famous, and most of them were sold at high prices. People in Dingdinghua Town may not have them, but they will not suffer any loss when asked.


    The old lady actually collected one.


    She took out the painting hanging in the bedroom, which was a very small portrait.


    "The baby beside the bed." The old lady rubbed and drew it a few times before handing it to Xu Huo.


    Xu Huo took it with both hands and tried not to touch the painting itself. "The baby next to the bed has no painting bed."


    But the old lady smiled, "Isn''t the painting itself a bed? The baby next to the bed is not the baby, but the mother."


    Indeed, if the picture frame is used as a bed, the baby with open eyes should be the person who takes care of him.


    "Many people like children, but they don''t like the cumbersomeness of raising children, so they leave them all to robots."


    "How can robots compare to real people, let alone mothers? I have seen some children raised by robots. Their eyes look at people are different from those raised by people."


    “This is the child raised by the mother.”


    The old man said confidently and stroked the child''s eyes, "You look at his eyes, it''s not as cold as a robot."


    There are not necessarily all benefits brought by technology. Although using robots can eliminate the hardships in raising children, and even in many cases, even pregnancy and delivery do not require personal care, this also makes the relationship between blood relatives relatively indifferent, especially after the life span becomes very long, this indifference will inevitably intensify.


    Of course, not to mention the highly developed technology in District 019, even in District 014, even in District 014, the historical stage where a family needs to work together to survive, the weaker the bond between people, the weaker the relationship. However, it is an instinct for people to have emotional needs, but it is suppressed in a fast-paced division like District 019. Therefore, when people age, they will be particularly eager for emotions. This is an inevitable and cyclical stage.


    Even after many years, human reflection will occur again, and a wave of "emotion" will be set off in the machine world again.


    This is how human society develops. When materials are lacking, materials are everything. When you want to live a good life, money is everything. But the end of the pursuit will always return to human beings themselves. People will gradually realize the importance of spiritual needs and re-examine everything that once blindly pursued or carnival.


    There are also people like Solan who are always sober and independent.


    The old lady took back her painting and sighed: "The things outside her body cannot bring much joy, especially after living long enough, life is just a repeat of today tomorrow. Only by finding your own heart can you live better."


    She turned to look at Xu Huo, "A painting, no matter how much it costs, it is just a number."


    "Maybe everyone doesn''t have to be for money, they may just want to live." Xu Huo looked at the setting sun outside, "The sunset is really beautiful, but in the eyes of people like us, it is more like the countdown of life."


    The old lady can understand it. After all, not every partition is as peaceful as District 019, and the players'' lives are even more in danger. If divided according to the living environment, players like Xu Huo should be at the bottom of society, because they may die at any time and have to run around in order to survive.


    "You are all tired people like Xiao Solan."


    Xu Huo paused slightly and said, "I heard that Master Solan often goes to nearby mountains to play. Can you please tell me the way?"


    The old lady gave him an electronic map and circled several locations on it. "These places were often visited by Xiao Solan before, and some of them have been remodeled."


    Xu Huo nodded and was about to say goodbye and leave. A reminder sounded from the kitchen. The old lady quickly pulled away from her emotions. As she got up and walked towards the kitchen, she said, "The food is ready. You can eat before leaving."


    Xu Huo was not polite and took the initiative to wash his hands and go to help.


    The old lady roasted a whole chicken, which was not small. The spices and food were marinated and roasted at high temperature to form a strong fragrance. He cut the roasted chicken as the old lady said, and it also contained some specialty fruits and vegetables from Dingdinghua Town.


    The old lady gave him a tomato-like fruit, "Little Solan loves to eat this one the most."


    Xu Huo plucked the fruit in the dial. After the thin skin was broken, the red flesh flowed out like water, filling the bottom of the dish brightly.


    He took a bite and nodded, "It''s very fragrant."


    The old lady was very interested when eating and said a lot of words intermittently, including about Solan, about Dingdinghua Town, and which piece of fruit forest nearby is the best, or whose family has not been able to grow good vegetables this year, and the weather interference instruments lack maintenance. The heavy rain rushed out all the mines that were mined in the past. The town was full of housekeeping robots, and no one has found a suitable person to repair them yet, etc.


    "Does the government care about this?" Xu Huo made a fuss.


    "Those are all small mines. They have been opened long ago. The mine tunnels and pits are buried on the spot. They are easy to be washed away when it rains heavily. There is no profit. They are far from the residential area. They can only be sorted out by the town itself."
