Volume 4 The Year of the Stars Chapter 248 Old Ticket (Part II)
There was darkness in front of him, and there was a strange sweet smell coming from the tip of his nose. Xu Le didn't know why there was such a smell inside the spaceship.
Just as when he swept across the four directions with two six-barreled darlings on his shoulder, there was no way to recognize the broken ship that broke through the clouds, the triplane that had saved him from the empire. There is always a difference in the degree of the same tattered, the tattered triplane back then had some taste, but today it has become beyond the imagination of the most absurd artists of mankind.
Because I didn't recognize the triplane, I didn't expect to hear the voice of the old thing at the spaceship, that voice was familiar but unfamiliar, and it looked much younger, especially the strong mockery in the tone, with the teasing energy of the aristocratic tone, but it was so unforgettable.
The supple lights turned on one after another, spreading the cluttered space of the cabin in front of his eyes, and as soon as he saw the light, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and glanced at the dusty console in front of him, as well as the equipment that had been welded to the hard alloy plate, scratched his head, and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you dead?"
"I'm not an ape-like life form like you and you, how can I die so easily. ”
Someone's voice sounded inside the triwing, and Xu Le confirmed that this voice belonged to him, confirming that it was indeed younger and more lively than before. A smile from the deepest part of his heart mixed with exhaustion welled up on his cheeks, and he opened his arms and made a hug to the invisible waves in the air.
He sighed with emotion: "Don't engage in fake death in the future, it's really not too glorious for us low-level ape-like lifeforms to shed tears because of your high-level mechanical life." ”
"Have you ever cried?"
Philip asked curiously, the slender robotic arm in front of the console moved down at high speed, and the video head at the front was opposite Xu Le's face at a very close distance, as if he wanted to find tear stains on his slightly dark and thin cheeks, but in the end, he only saw some water stains, and he said angrily: "It's all water I splashed, where have you ever cried." ”
Xu Le raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You try to cry, I'll come back in a few months to see if there is anything on your face." ”
"I've never cried, and while some of the conflicts in the core program can be compared to human emotions, I've never found a similar emotion, or if there is, I've been actively excluded. ”
Philip said indifferently, the slender mechanical arm kept shaking in front of Xu Le, like a child who was waving his arm to show that he didn't care about anything, and that he needed to be strong because his disguise was mature.
Knowing that this guy was still alive, Xu Le was in a very good mood, and he didn't bother to have this kind of argument with him that had been repeated many times, so he turned around and was about to walk to the back cabin, preparing for the next thing, but he tripped over something under his feet, almost fell, and looked down. A large heavy schoolbag was being strapped tightly into the restraint belt on the ground.
"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you......"
The mechanical arm quickly stretched out to his face with the pleasant sound of hydraulic pressure, and Philip's voice was a little weird, as if he was a little nervous.
Xu Le didn't pay attention to what this guy wanted to explain, his eyes left the schoolbag under his feet, and landed in the depths of the back cabin, the stunned in his eyes couldn't be dissipated for a long time, and he didn't know how to interpret the scene in front of him.
In the dim and soft light, there was a little girl wearing velvet earmuffs, under the long and slightly trembling eyelashes, the black jewel-like eyes narrowed with a smile at this time, and they became the two curved eyebrows in the sky, she stood there quietly, holding the old doll, smiling cutely.
Xu Le felt that his eyes were a little flowery, and he couldn't help but squint, remembering the little girl he met in the starlight of the ancient bell when he started his first escape many years ago.
Six years have passed, and the girl of that year has become the girl she is today. has grown a lot, the black hair that is swinging like a watermelon peel, it looks much softer because it has become longer, and it is obediently draped on her thin shoulders, but the old doll in her arms is still the same doll she used to be, she still stands there quietly, looking at him with absolute trust, as if she has not left for so many years, and even her posture has not changed.
Zhong Yanhua's child looked at him with a smile and said, "Let's go." ”
Xu Le confirmed that he was looking at the real picture, he opened his mouth helplessly, thinking to himself how could even this dialogue be so familiar, when she was in Qixiazhou, when this girl tried to run away from home again, sneaked out of the villa and got into the back seat of the car, she seemed to say the same thing?
Closing his eyes, then opening them, covering his forehead, and then letting go, he gasped heavily, his right hand reached out like lightning, grabbed the slender mechanical arm beside him, and his fingers grabbed the lower end of the video probe strongly, as if choking Philip's throat, and roared angrily: "What's going on with this ***!"
"Who am I? I'm the omniscient Philip, Dumbo. Okay, I'm only able to read-only the central database right now, and I can't transfer information, but I'm pretty clear about your life. I know who she is. I know her relationship with you, so I believe that even if she knows that I am a living computer, it is not a terrible thing, do you have to force me to kill people? Lele, you are too cold-blooded!"
The slender mechanical arm shook violently in Xu Le's hands, like a delicate hostage trying to escape in horror, Philip matched his emotions at this time, put on a perfect performance, and seemed to be very intoxicated by it.
"Who said you want to kill people? You know I'm not talking about this!" Xu Le glared at the probe and said angrily, "What I asked is, why is she on your broken ship!"
Philip noticed that Xu Le was really angry at this time, and the slender robotic arm suddenly quieted down, and the sound inside the spaceship instantly became high-speed and clear.
"I tried to find you, and then outside the Ming apartment in Wangdu Fu, I found Miss Zhong Yanhua, after communicating with her, I knew that she was also trying to find you, so two like-minded partners formed a temporary search team, until today I heard government intelligence information, confirming that you we are looking for you, are going crazy in Qingteng Garden. ”
"Are you looking for me?" Xu Le rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the little girl who was timidly grabbing the corner of his clothes, frowned and said, "Tai Zhiyuan told me last time in prison. Now it's the Nanxiang family taking care of you, what's going on?"
"It's nothing. Zhong Yanhua opened her innocent eyes, looked up at him and said: "Sister Nanxiang is very good to me, although she knows that you are an imperial person and has been shaken for a few seconds, but in my opinion, it is already quite good, Mrs. Nanxiang should have been a beauty when she was young, and they also specially invited a professor from the first academy to give me a theoretical physics class, and I had a good life in Nanxiang Manor." ”
Xu Le let go of the hand holding the slender robotic arm, reached out and rubbed her hair, and said, "Tell the point." In that case, why slip away?"
"No matter how good it is, it's not my home. Zhong Yanhua struggled to poke his head out in his clutches, and said very seriously: "I believe that you will definitely be able to escape, brother, so I will sneak out in advance to prepare to meet you." ”
Xu Le said directly: "I am from the empire. ”
Zhong Yanhua frowned at the tip of her thin eyebrows, obviously a little unhappy because of this sentence, and pouted and said, "Even Sister Nanxiang only wavered for a few seconds, brother, what do you think this kind of thing will affect me?"
Xu Le felt that his chest was a little warm, but there was still no expression on his face, and he said coldly: "I'll send you back immediately." ”
"Don't!" Zhong Yanhua blushed and screamed angrily: "You are my guardian, how can you leave me alone!"
"What do I do? I'm on the run right now, the whole Federation is chasing me, and in the next second, this broken ship may be bombarded into bulk garbage by a battleship's main gun, do you want to follow me to death?"
Xu Le reprimanded sternly: "If you don't want to go back to Nanxiang Manor, I'll send you to Mochou Houshan, it's really not good, I'll send you to the Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Capital, Shang Qiu is there, haven't you always liked her very much?"
Speaking of the latter, his tone had become much softer, and even turned into some kind of pleading. In this case, he didn't care at all what kind of danger he would bring to himself by sending the little girl to these places, because he knew very well that following him in the current universe was the most dangerous thing.
"My ship is not broken. ”
The slender mechanical arm bypassed Xu Le's body, lowered the height to Zhong Yanhua's cheek, rested on the little girl's shoulder, which was trembling with anger, and said resentfully: "And you can rest assured that no battleship main gun can hit us." ”
On the issue of education, he was most afraid of this kind of situation where parents had different positions, Xu Le's expression was slightly stiff, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if it's okay, can you follow us to wander in the universe?" You still have to go to school, you still have friends, you can't follow me and this broken computer to live an inhuman life together." ”
"Brother, you said, I am a real genius, and ordinary schools can't teach me well at all, so I don't have to go to school!" Zhong Yanhua stared at him. Angry said: "And you know, I don't have any friends at all, so what's wrong with me following you?"
Xu Le shook his head, still refusing to agree.
Zhong Yanhua's eyebrows furrowed, his mouth pursed, desperately resisting the urge to cry, stepped forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes, shook it gently, and his tender voice trembled slightly.
"Brother, it will be very lonely and boring for you to run away alone, you have to have a companion, just like when I was on the ancient bell, I will accompany you. ”
As she spoke, tears like clear spring water overflowed her eyes and fell.
The slender robotic arm slowly left her shoulder, trembling slightly, and then making a strange twist, like a human being wiping the corners of his moist eyes, Philip's sentimental voice kept echoing in the cabin: "It's really a hearer who wants to cry, how can someone be so ruthless?"
"Still?" Xu Le stared at the probe at the front of the mechanical arm, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't pick her up on the boat, will there be the current problem?"
Philip's voice instantly became calm and serious, and he said: "At that time, when I saw this picture, even if I only had similar feelings, I was deeply moved, so I decided to connect Miss Zhong Yanhua to the triplane. ”
A two-dimensional light curtain appeared in the dim cabin, Xu Le frowned, Zhong Yanhua turned his head, stood beside him and looked curiously, his fingers never let go of the corners of his clothes.
On the light curtain screen, in the cold winter wind, the little girl in the bloated velvet coat is walking slowly among the falling leaves and snow, the big schoolbag behind her seems so heavy, her steps seem so difficult, her little face is red from the cold, but there is still a smile full of hope on her face, from time to time to take two breaths of heating to her hand, stomp her feet, squint her eyes to look at the sky, as if she is waiting for something.
Zhong Yanhua pointed to the light curtain in surprise and said to Xu Le beside him: "This is me, this is me." ”
Philip's voice sounded again, and he explained softly to Xu Le: "At that time, you should still be preparing to escape from prison, she has already left Nanxiang Manor, walking through the streets and alleys of the capital, she has been to many places, such as Xishan Compound, such as Wangdu Apartment, just for the little hope to be able to wait for you, the cold streets, the north wind late at night, she has not given up, and even in the end she tried to take a car to Hong Kong to find you." ”
Xu Le squinted at the constantly changing pictures on the light curtain, looking at the little girl who was shivering in the cold wind, squatting on the street corner vigilantly watching pedestrians, for some reason there was a sour taste in his chest and abdomen, he couldn't imagine how the lonely girl spent so many days in such a cold day, and how much she suffered, subconsciously stretched out her hand and held the slightly cool little hand next to her tightly.
Zhong Yanhua smiled and let him hold his hand, satisfied with his side, his eyes narrowed into a lovely Yue Ya'er, but he was a little nervous and silently thought, in fact, he has been living a good life these days, why does he look so miserable and pitiful on the picture?
Just when Xu Le was about to say something, a bass full of vicissitudes of life sounded in the space, and the most unbearable tragic memories of escaping the empire instantly appeared in his mind, his face changed drastically, and he put the ear tips on the bell fireworks beside him with a bewildered face with lightning speed, and then tightly covered his ears.
"The moon falls and cries, it is always a thousand years of wind and frost. The sound of the waves is still there, but I don't see the night of that year. ”
"How can you and I repeat yesterday's story today?"
"This old ticket, can you board your broken ship!"
The tattered triplane was speeding across the sea, and the cabin reverberated with the emotional chanting of ancient verses, and after a long time, the chanting finally stopped, and at the end Philip's admiration for a certain little girl could be faintly heard.
"Good acting. ”
Zhong Yanhua stood quietly and obediently beside Xu Le, stretched out his right hand behind his back and gave a thumbs up, and praised in his heart: "Good camera." ”
