Interstellar: The correct way to become cannon fodder in a book

Just like that, Yun Ran settled down in Lillian's house, and this stay lasted for nearly half a month.

As they spent time together, Yun Ran discovered that although this family of three was isolated from the world, they lived a happy life.

Lillian's mother is a very gentle person. She always has a smile on her face, which is faint but very beautiful.

She is like a spring breeze blowing your sleeves, and also like the bright moon hanging in the sky in winter.

And it's not just about personality, Yun Ran discovered that Lillian's mother was quite capable in the modification and manufacturing of machinery.

The robot that Ru Yunran saw when he woke up for the first time was made by Lillian's mother.

When Lillian's mother saw those things, the gentle look in her eyes did not change, but her brown eyes were always bright.

Even Yunran, who was only eleven or twelve years old and knew nothing about the robots in front of him, could see Lillian's mother's love for those things.

Although she is already a mother, she still has the youthful vigor of a girl.

Like mother, like daughter, and Lillian has successfully inherited this from her mother.

The two often work together in the laboratory, and this often takes several days and nights.

Sometimes, people don’t even have time to eat and just take some nutritional supplements and call it a day.

Compared with Lillian's mother and Lillian, Lillian's father is a relatively taciturn person.

He is tall and handsome, and always carries a gun on his back.

And that gun is their tool for survival in this jungle.

The main income of the family of three, including Yun Ran, depends on Lillian's father.

He was a hunter and this snow-covered forest was his hunting ground.

The cabin is built in the Snowy Forest, and there is a small town just ahead of the Snowy Forest.

The town doesn't have a large population, but it's definitely more lively than the forest.

Lillian once told Yunran with a smile that she had gone to school there, but later the only school in the town closed down, so she had no place to go.

Yun Ran could see the longing for school in Lillian's brown eyes. Yun Ran also asked, since the only school in that town had closed down, why not change to another town?

Yun Ran clearly remembered that Lillian was smiling with curved lips, and there was something in her eyes that Yun Ran couldn't understand.

“Can’t stray too far from this forest,” she said.

At that time, Yun Ran didn't understand what Lillian meant by this sentence. She just blinked and asked Lillian curiously why.

"This is a secret, I won't tell you~"

This was Lillian's answer to Yun Ran's question.

This little girl who loves to wear red bear skirts and braid her hair into two pigtails always warms Yunran's frightened and confused heart like the afternoon sun.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoran. I tell you it's very safe here. No one can find us."

Although Lillian is about the same age as Yunran and has a carefree personality, Yunran knows that Lillian is a very thoughtful person.

She is keenly aware of her own mood, and when she is in a bad mood or misses her family, she always has many ways to cheer herself up.

Once, Yun Ran sat on a snow-covered stone and felt a cold feeling on his butt, but Yun Ran did not leave the cold stone.

Yun Ran lowered his eyes and played with his fingers, and at this moment Lillian came over.

"Hi! Xiaoran, what are you doing? It's time for dinner, go back and eat, mom is still waiting for us."

Lillian put her hands on Yunran's shoulders. The two faces with completely different looks were close to each other, and the moonlight sprinkled on them.

There were a few small footprints on the snow-white ground, and next to the footprints were two little girls.

One was wearing a red dress and the other was wearing a white dress.

Dressing like this should indicate fear of the cold, but the two little girls put on a large furry coat over their skirts to block out the cold wind.

However, this kind of dressing style seems a bit funny. Yun Ran once asked Lillian with a smile: "Do you have to wear a skirt in such a cold weather?"

Lillian stuck out her tongue and secretly pinched Yun Ran's soft face.

Said: "Why can't we wear skirts on cold days?"

"Xiao Ran, rules are dead, but people are alive."

"There are no set rules for everything, including dressing. We should act spontaneously and not be defined by others."

The forest was exceptionally quiet in the dark night, without even the sound of birds singing.

Yun Ran looked up at the sky. There were countless stars, densely packed together, but unexpectedly very beautiful.

It was so beautiful that even after many years, she would still think of that star map and that person...who was no longer there.

Yun Ran looked up at the sky, stood up from the stone and fell straight into the soft snow.

"Lillian, I miss my family."

The starlight shone on her, the light was dim.

It is not as warm as the sun and not as bright as the moon, but in Yun Ran's heart, these gathered lights are the most gentle.

Lillian looked at the girl lying down in front of her, and followed her example and lay down as well.

She said this the first second she lay down.

"It's so comfortable, but also so cold."

When Yun Ran heard Lillian's words, he turned his head to look at her and said "hmm" softly.

"Yeah, it's comfortable, but it's also cold."

When Lillian heard Yun Ran's words, she simply ignored them and responded with her previous sentence about missing her family.

"That's normal. I'll miss my parents if I'm away from home for a day, not to mention you've been away for such a long time."

"But don't worry, I observed the stars and found that you and your father have a deep connection, so we will meet again."

"It's just a matter of time."

Yun Ran burst out laughing when he heard Lillian's words about observing the stars at night, and his originally sad mood disappeared.

"You still read this? Isn't this something that only appears in novels?"

Lillian, who was lying in the snow, curled her lips when she heard Yun Ran's words. She touched the non-existent beard on her chin and said something mysteriously.

"I can do it. My father taught me."

When Yun Ran heard Lillian talking about his father, an image of a taciturn man immediately emerged in his mind.

Lillian's father rarely spoke and was a cold person, but when he looked at Lillian and her mother, his eyes were always gentle.

Yun Ran often saw Lillian's father sitting on a chair, quietly watching his wife and daughter playing.

He smiled with his lips curved from time to time.

This family of three lives a happy life.

Yun Ran was tired of laughing, and when he took a breath, he turned his head and saw Lillian's lovely face.

"Xiao Ran, you should smile more often. You look very pretty when you smile."

"Don't be sad all the time. Let's leave all our troubles to time."

Yun Ran nodded and his brows softened when he heard Lillian's words.

"Okay, we will leave all our troubles to time."

After the two people said this, they stood up from the white ground.

Holding hands, they hurried towards the cabin.

The wooden house glows with a light yellow color, which makes it look particularly warm in this inky black environment.

A cold wind blew the words of the two little girls away between heaven and earth.

"Xiao Ran, will you forget me when you go back?"

"Will not."

"Then Xiaoran, can you come and play with me more often after you go back? You know, I have had no friends since I was a child."

"okay."

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, let's make a promise and come back here to see the stars in 10 years."

"it is good."

……

In the end, things went against our wishes.

……

On some unidentified planet.

A young man covered in blood was carrying a man on his back, holding a long sword dripping with blood in his hand.

The boy had many wounds on his body, including scratches and bite marks.

The person on the boy's back fell straight down without moving. The boy gritted his teeth as blood dripped from his forehead into his eyes, forcing him to squint.

The boy was in a very bad situation, he was surrounded by star beasts on all sides. The levels of the star beasts were not high but there were a lot of them now.

Countless star beast corpses also lay at his feet.

And some energy guns that have run out of energy.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that a beast tide had already occurred in the forest where the boy was and that the boy was at the center of the tide.

In this era of rapid development of hot weapons, few people use cold weapons.

Even if people use swords, most of them would choose light swords. Very few people would use iron swords like this one.

But the young man in front of him, who was surrounded by star beasts, used the sword very well.

After the young man killed one star beast, another star beast quickly rushed towards him.

Those star beasts were like crazy, determined to tear the boy and the person on his back to pieces.

"Get away from me, don't touch her."

The young man snorted and the sword in his hand flew quickly.

Yun Yu gasped heavily and held the woman on his back tightly.

Even though the woman on his back was no longer breathing and carrying her body would only be a burden, Yun Yu still protected her tightly.

Sweat mixed with blood and tears slid down Yun Yu's still childish and handsome face.

"Mom...I'll take you...I'll take you home..."

"I'll take you to find your father. He must be able to save you."

"I'll take you home!"

The boy murmured the last words as he swung his sword, his voice weak but filled with unstoppable determination.

The breeze blew across the boy's white shirt that was already stained with blood. In the breeze, the boy's back looked thin but strong.

The young man killed his way through the tide of star beasts and walked with difficulty carrying the woman on his back.

But no, as soon as he broke through the encirclement of the star beasts, another group of star beasts surrounded him again.

He felt his breathing becoming heavier and his steps becoming slower. He gritted his teeth and killed the star beast that was about to touch his mother.

After killing the star beast, he finally ran out of strength and half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath frantically.

Those star beasts were scared of being killed by him, and they were afraid to come up when they saw him like this.

Yun Yu stood up from the ground and was about to raise his sword to kill again when he heard a snap and the sword broke into two pieces.

Yun Yu pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

He glanced at the mother on his back and smiled.

"Mom, I might have to break my promise."

"I don't think I can take you home."

The star beasts that surrounded Yun Yu seemed to realize that Yun Yu was gone, and they all pounced forward without any resistance.

Yun Yu closed his eyes and hugged the woman on his back tightly in his arms.

If you want to eat his mother, eat him first.

Yun Yu hugged his mother tightly in his arms, but the expected pain did not come.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw more than a dozen black mechas.

The dozen or so black mechas rushed into the star beast tide and started killing, but those star beasts had no chance of winning against these dozen or so black mechas.

So strong.

Yun Yu's pupils shrank. These dozen or so black mechas were at least level 5 mecha masters.

Is he here to rescue them?

Just when his nervous heart was about to settle back into his stomach.

He was suddenly grabbed by a black mecha and held in the palm of his hand.

Yun Yu's breathing became disordered. He held the woman in his arms tightly and looked towards the direction of the mecha's cockpit with a vigilant expression.

The glass cabin of the cab is transparent, you can see inside from the outside and also outside from the inside.

The mecha master of the black mecha smiled at him.

Then he was frightened and started to speak.

"Don't be nervous, young man. My young master and I happened to pass by here and saw your situation. Our young master is kind-hearted and asked us brothers to come down and rescue you."

"It's done. I'll take you back to our young master's starship."

The black mecha increased its speed and flew straight into the sky, and a huge star ship was faintly visible in the sky.

Shen Li was lying on a soft chair with a cigarette in his hand. He took a puff and exhaled slowly, but he didn't look at the blood-covered boy in front of him.

Yun Yu was still some distance away from Shen Li. He held his mother in his arms, pursed his lips and looked at Shen Li.

It’s a pity that Shen Li’s eyes were not on him, as if saving him was just a matter of raising his hand.

Shen Li noticed Yun Yu's gaze and glanced at him indifferently, revealing his aloof temperament.

"Thank you."

Yun Yu met his gaze, lowered her head and spoke.

Shen Li is very good-looking, but his eyes are always dull.

When he heard Yun Yu's thank you, he looked at him again without saying anything.

Just treat Yun Yu as air.

Yun Yu pursed her lips, raised her head and looked directly at Shen Li and asked.

"Why did you save me?"

Shen Li's eyes were still fixed on the window without saying anything, but the little girl standing behind him spoke, smiling. However, the words she said did not match her smile at all.

"Our young master can do whatever he wants and save whoever he wants."

When Shen Li heard Xiao Nuan say this, he did not stop his gaze from looking out the window, and occasionally glanced at the woman in Yun Yu's arms.

Xiao Nuan looked at the woman in Yun Yu's arms. After seeing clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while, but still spoke.

"Well... the person in your arms... is there a possibility that she is already dead."

Hearing Xiao Nuan's words, Yun Yu immediately spoke to her fiercely.

"Shut up, my mother is not dead yet."

Xiao Nuan was frightened by Yun Yu's sudden ferocity. She patted her chest and snorted. She wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she just said one sentence.

"I'm sorry, I misread it. I apologize."

Shen Li didn't say a word from beginning to end. His eyes were always outside the window. He watched the dozens of black mechas outside the window enter the starship before he withdrew his gaze.
