With the faint sound of the motor, the fixed curtains on the porthole of the room slowly opened, and the starlight from outside the spaceship came in. Xu Le, who was chewing synthetic beef, raised his head in surprise, and found that the little girl with the watermelon head was quietly looking out the window, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she smiled sweetly, her tender face full of envy. vision.
Only at this time did Xu Le notice that the little watermelon's eyes were not big, but very bright. At this moment, when he smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed, which was very cute. The young man secretly smiled in his heart, thinking about the intimacy when we first met, probably from these eyes, right? He followed the little watermelon's eyes and looked out the window, his eyes were fixed in the distance, the chopsticks in his hand were slowly put down, and he sighed softly.
In the distance outside the window is his hometown Donglinxing. Thinking of this, he changed his identity, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back again in this lifetime. No matter how optimistic and cheerful Xu Le was, his mood was a little down. Perhaps because he didn't want his emotions to affect the little girl, he forced a smile, pointed to the planet and said, "I never thought of looking at it from this angle, the picture book I read in school before is more beautiful than the real picture. many."
The quiet planet is suspended in space, the blue waters and green fields are clearly visible, and even those large and surprisingly white mines can be seen on the spacecraft, just like scars describing the ancient history of this planet. . It's just that at the very edge of the planet's atmosphere, there is a layer of gray and reddish dust, making these scenes look like they are covered with a layer of veil, and falling into the eyes of Xu Le, who is in a mood at this time, can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"That's the legacy of the early days of the planet's development." Little Watermelon scratched her hair cutely, and knew at a glance what Xu Le was referring to, she explained in a childish voice: "The three major galaxies in the Federation are all on the edge of the silver core, and the density of stars in space It is too big. Although the creator miraculously arranged three galaxies for human beings, they were not torn into pieces by those gravitational forces, but the light pollution is still very serious. Especially Donglin star is too close to the stars in the system, if there is no such layer The laterite particle belt shields the rays, and it is difficult for the human beings on it to survive in a healthy way.”
"Brother, although these dusts are ugly, they are really useful." Little Watermelon looked at Xu Le and nodded, and said seriously.
"Huh? You mean the dust is man-made?"
"Yeah, it seems that the largest group explosion in history was carried out, and at the same time, the result was achieved after precise calculations by a five-person team."
Xu Le was stunned for a while. He didn't know until today why the sky he saw was always so gray, whether he was on the side of Bell Tower Street, on the mine pit, or on the green field of the nature reserve. The stars that arrive are always pitiful, and it turns out that all this is covered by these dusts. When he thought of how many thousands of years ago, human beings came to the Donglin District from the heart of the Federation for the first time, they worked extremely hard to open up the barren stars, and transformed the natural environment with great courage, and his heart was full of respect for those ancestors.
He looked at the little watermelon's lightly waving black hair, shook his head, and gave a wry smile. Another reason he was shocked was that he didn't know the history that even a six-year-old girl knew. The education is not finished, but it is too embarrassing.
The little watermelon took the tissue he handed over and wiped his mouth. He sensed Xu Le's discomfort very intelligently, smiled sweetly, and said, "This is something that is not in the history textbook. I just listened to my father. My ancestors were the first people who came to Donglin to open up wasteland, and in order to remember the great achievements of my ancestors, I have been reading these things since I was a child.”
Hearing the explanation, Xu Le's mood was a little better, but he noticed another strange place. If it was the ancient family responsible for the development of Donglin, why is Little Watermelon's family in Xilin now? But this is not a question he needs to consider now, and he did not pursue it.
"After flying out of the atmosphere, I realized that the stars in Haohan's universe are so bright." Xu Le lowered his head, thinking of the boss who might have turned into fly ash and sprinkled on Donglin Star, and the man who was imprisoned by the federation. Li Wei smiled at himself and said, "My ideal in life was to become a warship assistant of the Federation, but now it seems that if I stay on a warship every day, I'm afraid that the stars will turn into wild cats in the mines. "
"Brother Xu Le, what happened to the wild cat?"
"The wild cats in the mine, as long as they are illuminated by the headlights, they will stand on the track stupidly and never move again, probably because they have never seen such bright light before." Xu Le lowered his voice. The head said, but another voice sounded in his heart, a new life was waiting for him, but even if he didn't go to avenge the boss and wash away his grievances, it would be impossible to work for the federation.
The next day at six o'clock standard time, Xu Le, who was lying on the floor and sleeping in his clothes, was awakened by a huge roar. He put on his coat and lifted the curtain to look at the corner, and found that Dong Linxing, covered in a layer of historical dust, was leaving him. Gradually moving away, he knew that the spaceship had finally embarked on the journey to the capital star, and he had mixed feelings for a while, but he could not find the right words to describe his mood at this time.
A month ago, he was just an orphan who lived peacefully on the ground in the East Forest. His ideal in life was to take the examination for the mechanic officer of the Ministry of National Defense, and then enter the army, or enter the capital star circle for further studies, so as to get a decent job in a big company. Work. At that time, he had only taken the tram, not even the plane, and had never been to any place except the seventeen blocks of the capital of Hexi Prefecture. He was a down-to-earth country bumpkin. However, a month later, he left Hexi State, got on a plane, and went to another distant Fudge State. He even got on the most advanced commercial spacecraft of the Federation, flew in space, and was about to go to the truly distant capital star circle!
The encounters in life are always so bizarre and unpredictable. Xu Le scratched his messy hair in annoyance. When he looked back at the little girl who was sleeping sweetly on the bed, his heart tightened again. There is another one here. Dramatic questions awaited him, he believed the little girl wasn't lying, but he couldn't understand why these weird things always fell on his head.
He doesn't think the little girl is a trouble or a burden, because he is a person with such a character. As long as someone who really needs help comes to him, he is always willing to do what he can to do, not to mention that the other party is a poor man. little child.
Half an hour later, the roaring sound ended, and in the heart-pounding long silence, the ancient bell business spacecraft left Donglin Star, quietly heading towards the depths of the universe like a floating bottle, the speed getting faster and faster, However, the people on the spaceship did not feel the slightest sense. In the world of the large system, the speed comparison of the naked eye has lost its effect. There is only a feeling of loss, shrouded in a huge alloy spaceship.
In the next few days, Xu Le kept an absolute low profile on the spacecraft. Apart from going to the restaurant to pick up food, he didn't have much contact with the people on the ship, and not many people noticed this poor, clean living room. District veterans. Although low-key, Xu Le is still trying hard to find the little girl's family or something strange, but it has no effect.
Xu Le had no choice. He really had no intention of going against the wishes of the little girl, and vaguely, he was also used to the existence of this little girl in the room. This presence might make his camouflage escape less cold. , not so lonely. What surprised Xu Le even more was that the little girl under the age of six really knew a lot. It seemed that her family had a favorable environment, and she had been trained in book knowledge since she was a child. Although Xu Le did not go to school in the past few years, according to Uncle Feng's instructions, he still worked hard to soak in the library of the State University. I will also be asked by this little girl.
Talking and chatting games together is the best way to get closer and gain trust between people. In the long space travel, it didn't take too long for the two children, big and small, to become familiar with each other. Because of this mutual psychological need, they quickly trusted each other and depended on each other more than time.
"Little Watermelon, you sneaked out of the room by yourself, so do you remember where the room is?" Xu Le asked subconsciously one day, and didn't have much hope, because the Guzhong spacecraft was too big, a six-year-old Where can the little girl remember the location clearly
Unexpectedly, the little watermelon blinked, then raised her finger and pointed to the ceiling of the room. Xu Le froze in place, and it took him a while to react. The inquiries over the past few days made him clear about some things on the ancient bell. The spaceship living area is divided into two floors, and the upper floor lives in addition to the staff on the upper floors of the spaceship. In addition, there are those who have never seen... big men.
"Are you sure?" Xu Le asked looking into her eyes.
Little Watermelon nodded, then said in a trembling voice, "But I don't want to go back."
"You tell me the place and I'll check it out."
Little Watermelon lowered her head and hugged the doll, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu Le, I only dare to take you to the place where I climbed out."
Xu Le, who was covered in dust, stared dumbfounded at the little watermelon he was holding in his hand. He couldn't understand how this little guy could accurately pass through the complicated air-conditioning system pipes on the spacecraft, and directly bring himself from Area 32 to a complete area. strange place.
He patted the dust on his body, carefully pushed open the heavy hatch in front of him, and saw an army-green tarpaulin. Xu Le lifted the tarpaulin curiously, and was stunned to find a robotic arm facing him. The owner of the robotic arm is a very tattered old-fashioned mecha. I don't know how many years it has been thrown here, and it is covered with historical dust.
