Chapter 30 To Sarsotu
The beautiful night of Sarsotu has arrived. Although the sunrise and sunset here have long been fixed and all the scenery is just on both sides of the terminator, the romantic people of Sarsotu will always instinctively pursue beauty.
Even though the city’s resources are not enough for them to fly, they still travel back and forth on both sides of the terminator, simulating the sunrise and sunset of the day.
Following Wilk's footsteps, the three of them walked deep into the alley, where there was a not-so-old building with a door half open, as if welcoming people at any time.
The tumbleweeds are passing through the terminator at this moment, which is the most beautiful time of the day with the best temperature. A comfortable breeze blows through every household, and nearby residents also open their windows as if they are going to do business on time, welcoming the most beautiful moment of the day.
“To a beautiful day, to Sarsoto!”
I don't know who shouted, but the entire residential area started shouting one after another. It didn't seem awkward. Even Wilk in front couldn't help but shout along.
Then he seemed to realize something and explained with a smile:
“This is a penetration of our day, it means the day is coming to an end, and it is also a way to thank you for the happiness of this day.”
After Wilk finished explaining, he opened the half-closed door and invited everyone in.
The entrance was not big, and after the three of them walked into the house they discovered that this was a different world.
Different from the square structure in traditional perception, the interior of the house in Sarsotu is a circular structure. The stove and the bed are all curved, yet they give off an indescribable warmth.
A staircase built around the wall leads to the second floor. Below are some shelves with some plants on them, but more are photos.
"Wilk, did you sneak out of town today?"
The sound of the door opening was heard, and then a series of footsteps came down the stairs. The next moment, a middle-aged woman appeared in everyone's sight.
Her face was plain with some faint wrinkles on it, and she was angry at the moment, which made her look even more distorted.
Her clothes were ordinary, a plain long gown with a red apron, and she looked like a normal housewife.
However, she ignored the stranger who entered the house with her son. As soon as she went downstairs, she grabbed Wilk's ear and dragged him to the bedside viciously.
"I've told you so many times that you're only ten years old now, and you'll have to wait at least two years before you can go out and collect phlogiston. Why don't you listen? Is that a good thing?"
After the middle-aged woman chattered for a while, she suddenly realized that Bai Yu and his group were still standing there. After a moment of hesitation, she was about to speak when Wilk suddenly jumped off the bed and pointed at Bai Yu, interrupting her:
"I really flew down today, but something went wrong. Fortunately, this uncle saved me."
After saying this, the middle-aged woman looked at Wilk with fear, and checked his limbs worriedly, then his waist and back, and even took off his clothes in front of the three people.
"Mom! Stop looking, I'm not hurt."
Although Wilke was only ten years old, he was quite strong. He easily passed through his mother's questioning and replied:
"Mom, they are interstellar travelers who travel around. Can they stay at our house tonight?"
After hearing Wilk's proposal, and considering that Bai Yu and the others had already arrived, and thinking about how they had saved her son before, she was of course very willing to do so, with a completely different expression from when she faced Wilk.
"Of course, although our family cannot provide you with food every day, it is no problem for you to just stay here. You can stay as long as you want."
After saying that, she called Wilk over, turned and walked towards the stove, knocked open two of the stone bricks, took out a small handful of silver coins, carefully counted three of them, and put them in Wilk's hand.
"We have guests today. Go buy some fresh sandworm meat from William. Ask him to give you some inkball sauce. Otherwise, don't come to me to fix the hole next time."
Wilk agreed and turned to walk out of the house. Wilk's mother welcomed the three of them into the house and warmly arranged accommodation for them.
"Are you three sleeping together?"
Bai Yu and Schneider were fine. After all, Liuying was a little girl, only twelve years old, which was okay. But it was still not good to sleep together. After discussing with Mrs. Wilk, they decided that Liuying would sleep with her tonight, while Wilk would stay in a room alone with the two old men.
Upstairs was where they slept. The space was not big, and the whole floor was divided by a storage cabinet. It was divided into two sides, one of which was where Wilke slept, and the other side, which was larger, was where his parents slept.
Ever since my father went to experience the trial, this empty space has become a bit too large, and it even feels cold when the cold wind blows through the window at night.
The spectacular view of the twilight line is not to be missed. Following the enthusiastic recommendation of Wilk's mother, the three of them followed the main road all the way up to the factory entrance, which was also the largest open-air platform in the entire Tumbleweeds.
As the sun sets, couples are flirting with each other without caring about the murderous gazes of others, fireflies are watching the sunset gradually moving away, and two old men are hiding in the corner doing what they like.
Schneider took out a cigarette and started smoking. This was a habit he had kept since the days of No Name Guest. It was not easy to change. He felt uncomfortable if he did not smoke a cigarette every day.
"I never saw you put down your cigarette, is this a habit you developed on the Starry Sky Train?"
Bai Yu took out a few instruments, threw them into the sky, and then chatted with Schneider as if nothing had happened.
"It's an old problem. Besides, I can't let go even if I want to. This is blessed by the Star God."
Schneider smiled and blew out smoke rings, flicked the pipe in his hand and pretended to throw it away.
At this moment, the pipe miraculously did not fall to the ground, and the decoration at the end happened to be hooked on his finger, and no matter how he moved his hand, there was no sign of it falling off.
"Great, how did you practice that?"
Bai Yu looked at Schneider's tricks in admiration. The Destiny Walker's physical fitness was no joke. He almost left an afterimage, but the smoke was still stuck to his hand. It was estimated that ordinary glue could not hold it as firmly as he did.
"I haven't practiced it, it's just a blessing of 'opening up'. Most of them are pretty rubbish."
Schneider waved his hands helplessly. Looking at his gloomy look, Bai Yu knew that he was obviously showing off on purpose.
Like a child, Bai Yu complained helplessly in his heart, and took out an instrument in his hand. The detector that he had thrown out before was almost in place.
"To inspect this city?"
Schneider asked as he smoked calmly and loosened his collar.
"No need, I'm targeting this planet."
Bai Yu moved quickly. With one hand, he tapped out dense lines of code in the air. Soon, new data appeared on the screen of the instrument.
"Good news, this place can still be saved. The company may be able to conquer this place peacefully."
Schneider was startled but didn't even turn his head as he said, "Do you think they really expect redemption? They are clearly living a happy life now."
Following Schneider's line of sight, we saw the crowd in the sunset, young people in pairs, workers hugging each other and drinking, and even some boys huddled together awkwardly, looking at the energetic girls in the center of the square.
In the distant Falk Harbor, some people were flying slowly against the warm wind, traveling with the tumbleweeds in the air, which was romantic and warm.
“Indeed, they don’t seem to need salvation, but the fact is that they are still living in the crisis of doomsday.”
Bai Yu spoke slowly, leaning on the guardrail calmly, the evening breeze blowing through his short hair. He was so unique, so independent and detached from the world.
He seemed so out of tune with this world.
"Besides, I'm just a researcher, and I'm a chaotic person without a faction. Even if I use them for experiments, the worst I can do is get a wanted warrant."
At this point, Bai Yu paused and suddenly looked at a shy brown-haired boy who was holding a bouquet of flowers and hiding them behind his back. He came to Liuying a little awkwardly, raised the flowers as if he had mustered up the courage, handed them over, and then ran away shyly. The whole action was done in one go.
Bai Yu, who was about to rush forward, suddenly thought of something, paused, took a deep breath, sighed and said:
"Forget it, I still can't do it."
Schneider also smiled and gently patted Bai Yu's shoulder. The two looked at the setting sun and said:
"It's good to maintain your stance, and it's good to stick to who you are now."
"As expected of you, you are a nameless guest. I was almost conquered by your charisma."
"To be honest, you're really bad at telling jokes."
"Depend on"
……
The sun gradually set, and the wind and snow slowly fell with the setting of the sun. White snowflakes fell on Bai Yu's palm like feathers. Only then did he realize that it was time to go back.
On the other side of the terminator is the dark side of the desert, the place on the planet not illuminated by the sun. The land is covered with icebergs all year round. Snow accumulates from the terminator and covers half of the planet.
It took a little longer than they thought, and when they returned to Wilke's house, the air around them was already a little cold. Even the fireflies with the best clothes still spit out a little white water vapor from their mouths.
As soon as the three of them entered the house, they felt the temperature inside and outside change. The warm environment made them feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
After unbuttoning her coat, Wilk's mother brought out the last dishes. There were four dishes in total, which was not a lot for the two of them who were used to interstellar banquets, but the advantage of this table of dishes was its novelty.
Sandworm meat, although there are many similar foods in the galaxy. For example, nutritious packages such as dried earthworms are the common meals of most researchers.
Facts have proved that as long as the concept is changed, no one will object even if people are treated like beasts of burden.
In fact, there are people who like this. For example, the healthy diet club on the Azure Star prepares many strange dishes with earthworms.
Anyway, Baiyu and Liuying, who have eaten it, said they completely don't understand this aesthetic.
Schneider has traveled all over the country and eaten countless strange things. Not to mention earthworms, he has eaten very strange things, such as... Kram worms?
Thinking of the bad memories, Schneider's appetite improved and he joined the family for dinner.
Wilk had the biggest appetite, and he obviously didn't eat often, so he was very excited. Children always choose the food they like to eat, which is very normal, and the three adults expressed their understanding.
After all, Liuying was also competing with him for food. This silly and cute kid seemed a little embarrassed to snatch the food, and it was fortunate that Wilk deliberately gave way to her.
Whether it was Schneider or Bai Yu, they both ate in a relatively polite manner. After all, there was food on the boat, so they would not starve.
Wilk's mother thought the food was not to her liking, but she was relieved after chatting with him for a while.
The meal was almost over when they realized that they couldn't keep calling Wilk's mother "Auntie". After all, they were both in their thirties and she couldn't be that old.
Wilk's mother smiled happily like a young girl and told the group her name.
Her name is Ailian, a beautiful name, and she will definitely become an extraordinary person.
The name is the same as her. It is also the love words Wilder once said to her, and it is also the most romantic vow left to her by her husband, Wilke's father.
Even though Ailian was over 40 years old, both she and Wilk believed that she would become an extraordinary person.
After the meal, little Wilk consciously put away the guests' dishes and chopsticks. Just as Ailian was about to invite everyone upstairs, Baiyu was secretly stopped by Wilk.
It should be a boy's secret. Ailian thought so and tactfully left her son some private space. After cleaning up Schneider's room, she took Liuying into the house.
Except when she is angry, Ailian has a very good personality. She can chat with Liuying very well. With a few interactions, she can easily win over this young girl who is not very worldly-wise. During the chat with Ailian, she has almost revealed all her bottom line.
"Mr. Bai, are you a very good mechanic?"
Wilk wiped his wet hands, put away the dishes, handed a glass of water to Bai Yu, and asked respectfully. The expectation hidden in the boy's eyes could not be hidden.
Bai Yu had also been through that era, and now seeing Wilke's performance, he smiled knowingly and replied:
"I am, and still am, a pretty good mechanic."
Wilk got the answer he wanted, and seeing Bai Yu's rare smile, he thought this was a good time to ask a question, so he spoke again:
"Mr. Bai, actually, I... am not very good at flying."
After saying this, Wilk lowered his head, as if he knew that it was not a good thing to say, and he was also embarrassed.
But Bai Yu understood it differently. He didn't expect the ten-year-old boy to give in. It was a boy's proud nature, and it was a good thing for him to recognize his shortcomings and speak out.
He began to feel a little surprised.
"Can you do me a small favor? I...I can help you with your work. I can help you with anything I can do."
Wilk seemed to have thought of all his strengths, and finally, with a red face, he stated his request.
But he didn't hold out hope, because he knew clearly that he didn't have any strengths, and he didn't think that a great mechanic, a strong man with a mecha, would need his help in anything.
"Okay, I promise you."
Bai Yu is no longer that young boy.
But he is willing to protect the dreams of young people.
If I have lost my dreams, then I should not let the people I love do the same.
