…
Although Accord's voice was very low, Shen Ye and the twin sisters heard it clearly.
However, Accord has said this more than once. Almost every time Shen Ye helped the twin sisters, she would mutter similar words, but the twin sisters did not take Accord's words seriously.
In fact, the two of them were still a little curious about why Shen Ye would help them. After all, they were sinners, with "defective" bodies, and were hated and despised by all the artificial humans.
But they didn't dare to ask.
After a brief silence, the twin sisters invited the two to sit in their place for a while.
Accord was not very happy about it. She was still thinking about going out to collect materials to make soap, but Shen Ye followed them with great interest. Accord had no choice but to go with them.
Although they were artificial humans that had existed during the human era, the twin sisters were not treated very well. Their living place was very simple, just a tent made of a few pieces of rags, which was leaky on all sides and looked very miserable.
The tent was filled with all kinds of debris, which were things the two sisters had collected and found useful while picking up rubbish. In the middle of the debris was a bed made of several wooden boards. There was no mattress, just a layer of cloth covering it. Perhaps because there was a strong wind in the morning, the bed was covered with dust.
Sister Devola found a rag, wiped it simply, and then invited Shen Ye and Accord to sit down.
Shen Ye didn't think anything of it and sat down immediately, but Accord frowned with some disgust. This artificial man of unknown origin had an unusual mysophobia, so she just stood aside.
The twin sisters didn't care about her actions, or they didn't notice it at all. As the younger sister Popola moved a tattered table and placed it in front of Shen Ye, Devola carefully took out a bottle and a few cups from a broken cabinet and placed them on the table.
Shen Ye picked up the bottle without hesitation, opened the cap and took a sniff. Suddenly, a scent of alcohol mixed with fruity aroma hit his face.
"This is fruit wine made from the fruits you sent last time. We only distilled it once, so the alcohol content is not very high. You can try it." Devola said as she pushed a cup in front of Shen Ye.
Shen Ye poured a small glass of fruit wine and drank it all, then smacked his lips and said, "Well, it tastes pretty good."
"As long as you like it." Devola immediately laughed and poured herself a glass, but it was a full glass.
Under her sister Popola's dissatisfied eyes, she took a big sip, her eyes narrowed immediately, and then said: "You have helped us so many times, and you don't despise our identity as sinners. We only have this little thing to treat you. But to be honest, even the materials for brewing were sent by you, and we actually did nothing."
Shen Ye poured another glass, but this time he only took a sip, then sighed and said, "Actually, you have done enough."
He said this seriously, and his words were meant as a double entendre. Although the twin sisters were said to be sinners and to have defective bodies, what happened in the past was not entirely their fault, and the final outcome of humanity should not be blamed on them.
Over the past thousands of years, the twin sisters have been atonement, but until now, most android still do not understand them.
Perhaps they understood what Shen Ye meant, as the twin sisters showed gratitude on their faces, but it only lasted for a moment, and soon the sisters calmed down again.
"What's the point of doing more? We've already failed." Devola took another sip of wine, his tone a little sad: "Besides, we've gotten used to it."
"No one is used to doing these dirty and tiring jobs." Shen Ye shook his head and retorted.
Devola said with a bitter expression, "What can we do? We have been implanted with a program that makes us feel guilty towards all the androids. Unless this program is removed, we can only go on like this. However, no one will remove it for us, and no one has the authority to do so, unless..."
Having said this, she drank the wine in the glass and stopped talking.
But she didn't say anything, Shen Ye also understood what she wanted to say, and continued: "Unless there are humans who can cleanse your so-called sins, right?"
The twin sisters nodded together.
"But that's basically impossible. No human will forgive the mistakes we have made. At least that's what we think. Besides, so many years have passed. It's estimated that humans on the moon have long forgotten us." said Popola, who had been silent all this time.
They are all destroyed, of course they have forgotten you... Shen Ye complained in his heart, but a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
Accord caught the smile in Shen Ye's eyes, and knew what he was thinking. She glared at him as if warning, and then said to the twin sisters, "That's not necessarily true. There may still be humans who remember you. Maybe when he appears one day, he will announce to all the artificial humans that he forgives your past mistakes."
"It would be great if that day really comes." After drinking a glass of wine, Devola's face had turned red. Her stomach, which could break down alcohol, also allowed her to react like humans when drunk. After listening to Accord's words, she looked ahead with hazy eyes, full of reverie.
Unfortunately, she was not drunk after all, she just had a glass of wine, so she just thought it was an unrealistic fantasy, and her eyes quickly regained clarity.
"By the way, you got up so early today, do you have something to do?"
Devola's mood changed quickly. She pinched the wine glass with two fingers, shook it, and asked.
Shen Ye raised his chin slightly towards Accord and said, "Well, go out with her to collect some materials for making soap."
"Is that so?" Devola nodded, and then said, "Can you help us collect some fruits?"
"Are you using it to make wine again?" Shen Ye asked, "Did you finish it so quickly?"
"How is it possible? My sister was the only one drinking. How could she finish it so quickly? And she has been slowly reducing her drinking." Popola on the side shook her head. She used to like drinking, but quit after the accident. Now her sister likes to drink instead. Fortunately, her sister has also started to quit drinking.
Then she added: "We fixed an ice machine yesterday and wanted to make some ice cream. In such hot weather, there is nothing more comfortable than eating a bite of fruity ice cream."
"That's true. Okay, I'll bring you some when I come back." Since it was something that was easy to do, Shen Ye would naturally not refuse to help, so he agreed immediately.
