This is the first time that Art has encountered such a situation...
Logically speaking, except for the extremely cheap disposable dolls, regardless of the type, all parts of the dolls should be made of corrosion-resistant and strong hardness materials so that they can continue to be updated under high-intensity operation.
long time.
Apple Blossom, however, seems a little different.
After removing the skin from her legs, it can be found that the shell parts of her legs are made of a relatively light wooden material, and... it sounds disgusting, because due to lack of maintenance, this wooden shell has been riddled with insects.
There are a lot of rotten dirt accumulated in the holes. Basically, the internal metal skeleton remains relatively intact. Even the extremely important transmission lines have been messed up...
"Uh, how disgusting..." Looking at this scene, Yat Yat didn't dare to do anything for a while. Although it was a replacement rather than a repair, it was necessary to confirm that all the internal transmission lines had been removed before disassembling the limbs.
Otherwise, if it is accidentally torn off, it will be like a human being having his limb amputated, so you must stir up these things and confirm carefully...
"I'm really sorry...I don't know how to protect myself at all..." Apple Blossom also said a little apologetically. She also vaguely knew that her legs were seriously contaminated, but apart from cleaning them with water regularly, she didn't know what to do.
How to do it.
"Tee, Till, who of you is free? Bring me a bucket of water!" Art, who really didn't dare to do it directly, finally decided to clean it up with water first.
Not long after, Tiyi came to Art carrying a bucket of water.
"The damage is so serious... Is this the doll that has left its master..." As soon as Tiyi saw the seriously damaged Apple Blossom, she muttered something silently and seemed a little nervous.
Seeing that Tiyi didn't leave immediately, Art glanced at her while washing his hands and asked: "Is it okay with Tier? I don't want anyone to come and disturb me."
"It's okay, Tier is very popular with those children, especially the fact that she can eject her fist." Tiyi silently moved his eyes away from Apple Blossom's legs and looked at Art.
Said with a smile.
"...Really, is it true?" Art was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Till was actually equipped with such a strange function. Would ejection and flying fists really have any actual combat effect...
Art shook his head and put this strange setting behind him. It was more important to continue dealing with the apple blossoms first.
After using clean water to clean away most of the stains, Art was finally able to confirm the location of her leg transmission line.
But I was shocked when I saw it. Almost all of Apple Blossom's transmission lines below the knees were scattered. Those parts had basically become decorations, without any power support at all! It was completely relying on those strips.
The bundle of fabrics forcibly fixed it on the thigh, and then it relied on the kinetic energy of the normal thigh to walk!
I have to say that Apple Blossom's perseverance is really quite tenacious...
But now, there is another difficulty on the road to repair-how to untangle the tangled transmission lines?
Seeing Art staring blankly at the twisted ball of thread, Tiyi, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly understood what kind of trouble her master had encountered.
"Master, if possible, I can come and try to untie this ball of thread." Tiyi walked to Art's side and volunteered.
"Are you coming?" Faced with Tiyi's active assistance, Art also looked a little surprised. He looked at the ball of thread, which was made up of at least eight threads, and then looked at Tiyi, who was still determined, and hesitated a little.
one time.
"Okay, it's up to you to try it." Because he had no idea about this, Art let go and handed over this task that required extreme concentration and patience to Tiyi, and then added: "Dismantle this."
Don't use too much force at this time, otherwise it will break easily."
"Understood." Tiyi nodded, then knelt down on the ground, carefully looked at the ball of thread from left to right, and then immediately started to dismantle it, which shocked Art from the bottom of his heart.
Tiyi seemed to understand all the directions of the eight-threaded thread in an instant, and used her small fingertips to peel off the thread segments bit by bit...
But because there were so many entangled parts, it would take a long time to dismantle it. Taking advantage of this time, Art began to prepare to dismantle the other leg of Apple Blossom.
"She is also your doll, right?"
But when Art started to remove the second leg, Apple Blossom turned her head and looked at Art with her bright and loving eyes.
"... Of course, like Tier, she is my doll." Art didn't expect that he was not ready to talk to her, so she started chatting on his own.
"Then will you love one of them, or all of them?" Apple Blossom smiled softly and said slowly.
As soon as this question was asked, both Art and Tiyi involuntarily stopped what they were doing for a short time.
"Of course it will be all, there won't be any favoritism." Art quickly resumed his work. Apple Blossom's other leg was still relatively intact, and was not seriously eroded like the one just now.
The transmission lines are still independent and not entangled...
Seeing Art's answer, Tiyi also showed a slight smile and slowly untied the ball of thread.
"But more than this, I want to know what happened to you today?" Now that people have started talking, Art will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and while continuing to dismantle it, he continues to get things out of her mouth.
Faced with this topic, Apple Blossom was silent for a while.
"I have no way to continue to support the orphanage." Finally, Apple Blossom said it. It could be seen that her eyes began to dim gradually, and her beautiful face was filled with sadness.
Art looked at her and said without any surprise: "It was fine yesterday, the food was rich, and the children were very lively. Why did it suddenly happen like this today?"
"I no longer have money to buy food for my children. I can't afford anything. Even if I sell all the furniture that is not commonly used, it will take time, and the money will not last long..."
"Then you should learn to save and put aside some unnecessary expenses" - before Art could say this, he was forced to hold it back.
Apple Blossom can't save? No, it's impossible. She is a model of streamlined housekeeping. Except for paying attention to nutrition when buying food, it is a little big. But according to Art, as for yesterday's meal, except for the
Except for the specially provided sago, all the ingredients together cost no more than twenty copper coins.
It is impossible for a person like her to suddenly run out of money... It is very likely that something else happened...
