Mountains and seas have a home

They spent the first two days of the Spring Festival at home, and Ji Yao said that he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to have a good rest and nothing.Fu Zhong listened to what he said, and stayed at home all the time, drawing architectural drawings, studying, training, and walking the dog.The snow kept falling and stopping, and sometimes the sun came out for half a day, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sun shone golden everywhere.But in the afternoon, piles of dark clouds came from the sky, the wet blue sky was covered by clouds, and then the wind picked up quickly, and the snow fell in a flash.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the driver of the Fu family drove them to the airport in Gust.Fu Zhong had arranged for the Gulfstream G550 to wait at the airport in advance. The plane was still brand new, with the smiley fox badge painted on the upturned tail.The plane took off at nine o'clock in the morning, and the chef prepared them pan-fried mackerel, roasted venison loin, and white wine from the Petrou Estate.After the meal, Fu Zhong told Ji Yao about the time when his memory just recovered, and the intersection between him and Mrs. Bai.

"I want to give this plane a name, otherwise it only has its own flight code and identity number." Fu Zhong said suddenly, "Why don't we just call it 'Forerunner [-]'."

Ji Yao laughed at him: "If you use this as the communication code, the people at the airport control tower will think we are going to blow up the airport, which is scary."

They talked and laughed briefly for a while, then fell silent.Ji Yao leaned back in the spacious seat and turned to look out the porthole.He stared straight at the gray clouds outside, meditating motionlessly, as if his soul had come out of his body.When he emptied his mind, overwhelming memories came one after another.The continuous bang of the machine gun, the scream of the incendiary bomb, the sound of the bullet landing, the explosion of the helicopter...Suddenly he was startled suddenly, let out a low cry, but saw that it was Fu Zhong who put the water glass on the table.

It turned out that he would dream when he was awake, and he could not adapt to a peaceful life.

The plane arrived at Gaxian Airport three hours later. The special car sent by the Bai family was waiting for them outside the airport. The shiny Mercedes-Benz logo was covered with a layer of snow.The snow in the Northeast is bigger and thicker than that in Beijing, and the mountains have been flattened and buried under the snow.The Bai Family Mansion is next to a vein close to Daxing'an Mountains. There are many villas and gardens here, and magnificent luxury houses are hidden in the places where flowers and trees meet.

When they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, it was snowing and the sky was clear, and the blue sky reappeared. It was so clear and bright, like a mirror, and the reflection of the Daxinganling Mountains and villas in the sky was like a jade tower.The snow was turned golden by the sun, and the white stone road was covered with lush lawns, but at this time the greenery had disappeared.In the midst of gold and blue, a wayward and natural house stands at the end of the white stone road. The walnut flesh-colored exterior wall is beautiful, and the large black and blue glass embedded in the walls, corridors, and corridors is shining.

The Spanish-style glazed tiles of the roof cast a shade, which shimmered like ripples in the sun, like a lake buckled on the eaves.The Mercedes-Benz stopped under the steps in front of the door, and someone came to open the door immediately.Ji Yao leaned over to get out of the car, stepping on the snow and tidying up her long coat quietly.Fu Zhong walked up to him, and the two stepped up the stone steps, as if they were visiting as distinguished guests, rather than going home.

Baizhu stands under the eaves porch, and the grey-yellow granite pillars supporting the porch roof are so magnificent and unpretentious.Bai Zhu was wearing a gray fur coat, with a piece of silver-white fox fur on his shoulder, fastened with a flamingo brooch.She also wore a silver-white scarf, and the falling snow on her shoes showed that she had been waiting here for a long time.The "Qingxiang in White" under Kunpeng's family has an extraordinary bearing, reminiscent of ancient times, with fair and even complexion, even in his old age, he is still tall and straight like a pine, walking and sitting like a bell.

Ji Yao walked up the steps, stood under the eaves, patted off the snowflakes, and looked at her mother with calm and compassionate eyes.They looked at each other for a while and didn't speak, but they knew something without saying it.With tears in his eyes, Bai Zhu smiled at Ji Yao, said "Oh my God" several times, and reached out to hug his son.Ji Yao paused for a second or two, then relaxed, raised his hand and gently hugged Bai Zhu, he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen his mother.

The winter sun makes the sycamore and poplar beside the veranda drowsy, and the floor paved with rose granite is scrubbed as bright as a mirror. The warmth of the sun and the fresh breath of snow float in from the stone pillars. Flap your wings and fly into the clear sky.Everywhere is spotless, even the fountain pool, built of quaint bricks and weathered by wind and rain, has a new look.

Bai Zhu hurriedly wiped away her tears after the hug, and then shook hands with Fu Zhong politely. She treated Fu Zhong as the head of the Fu family.Fu Zhong was wearing a black wool coat, gloves, and a black onyx ring on his little finger.They chatted happily, and Bai Zhu brought them into the villa. The fragrant lunch was already on the table. The black iron chandelier under the ceiling was so simple, and the restaurant was also sunny and very clean.

They talked about the award ceremony not long ago, and Fu Zhong said: "My wife is also on the award list, but you didn't go to receive the award."

Bai Zhu shook his head indifferently: "I don't need those medals, I've already passed that time, and those shiny golden medals are of no use to me."

Then they chatted some gossip again, talking about Bai Yuan who passed away for many years, about Ji Songlin, and about the old things of the older generation.Those secrets that have been concealed for a long time can finally be revealed under this bright and clear blue sky, and there is nothing new under the sun.In the end, Bai Zhu talked about the relationship between the two again. The old lady said that she could understand this kind of same-sex love.Bai Zhu sent his blessings and lightly mentioned the marriage, but he didn't go into details.

Finally, Bai Zhu suddenly brought up Fu Zhong's memory: "Have you found the lost 10% memory?"

Fu Zhong was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and after a while he looked at Ji Yao and said, "I didn't try to find it, because I don't know which clips were deleted. It's not important in my life. But fortunately, the memory of Ji Yao is still intact, which makes me happy."

Bai Zhu smiled slightly, and the mother-of-pearl earrings beside the old lady's ears glistened under the winter sun.She looked at the two with blessing eyes, and decided to keep silent.Bai Zhu knew the truth, because the 10% was just some insignificant parts that she specially selected, and she just wanted to teach Fu Zhong a lesson, or a warning.

At night, the banquet was full of guests, and Ji Yao officially became the head of the Ji family at the banquet, and Bai Zhu passed on the rebuilt tail ring of the head of the family to him.The next day, Fu Zhong and Ji Yao followed Bai Lingqiu to Beiming's ancestral hall.The six gates of Beiming were reshuffled, and the era of the last six gates ended, and the heads of the new six gates worshiped the gate masters and ancestors together.Hanging statues of the first generation of Lord Hu San, Prince Zhenjiang, and Lord Zanying hang in the hall, and the murals and mosaics faintly reveal the mysterious atmosphere in the temple in the glorious era that has passed away.

They stayed in Bai's mansion for three days, and then went to Ji's villa.What greeted him back was the fountain of the mountain god, the large green garden, and the endless birch forest. Every stone brick piled up in the garden may be the city wall of Troy.The uncomfortable feeling of chest tightness and suffocation in the villa is gone, but it is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.Ji Yao went to watch the eerie mural painted on the ceiling of the master bedroom in his hometown. He didn't find it scary, but felt it was appropriate and shocking.

The Dragon King is far away, it will no longer be connected with this dimension, it lives in an unknown place, waiting for people to find it.

Ji Yao had someone lock this bedroom, except for the wedding photo from the Republic of China, all other photos and oil paintings were moved out.The portraits of the family heads of the past generations are placed in a clean and spacious place where no dust can fall, and those photos are stored in the secret room.The villa has been cleaned every day since years ago, waiting for the owner to come back. It has been empty since many years ago. It was not until Ji Yao stepped here that this lonely old manor was revived.

After finishing the management of the manor, they went back to Beijing to visit the tombs of Fu Yangxia and Bai Yuan. Bai Zhu was Bai Zhu's younger sister, Gu Qichuan's wife, and Ji Yao's aunt. She was buried in Beijing.Standing under the oak tree in the cemetery, Ji Yao suddenly felt a sudden sadness, because Ji Songlin was gone, but he didn't even have a tombstone.Ji Songlin left nothing behind, he can only miss him from the oil portraits he painted when he was still the head of the family.The man in the painting is sharp-eyed, handsome and mighty, and anyone would think that he has accomplished a lot and is a celebrity.

The New Year's Eve was coming to an end, and after discussing with each other, the two decided to invite friends to have a dinner together, and the time was set for the day before the Lantern Festival, which happened to be the beginning of spring.Fu Zhong went to the market early to buy things, and after returning home, he stayed in the kitchen arranging ingredients, cooking soup and meat.Ji Yao wore an apron like him, and helped him wash and pick vegetables to clean up waste.They were busy in the kitchen from morning to night, and Xinghe was not idle either.This omnipotent supercomputer works hard to clean the room, and also takes care of Xiao Qi and the fox. It has fully accepted the fact that it is a housekeeper.

Dinner started at five o'clock, and guests came one after another after four o'clock.Chen Wei was the first to come, and then Yue Junqi came in cursing on the phone.As soon as Chen Wei entered the door, he laughed and jumped up and slapped Fu Zhong on the head. Fu Zhong punched him, and immediately ran back to the kitchen to turn down the fire. The pressure cooker was already whistling.Ji Yao was flipping the fish fillets in the frying pan, and the smell of oil went straight to the internal organs.

Chen Wei followed Fu Zhong around the island to the kitchen, turned his head and met Shang Ji Yao's eyes, Chen Wei was shocked immediately: "My God! Hello, Chief!"

Yue Junqi was so startled that he hurriedly stood up and paid attention to Ji Yao, and Lin Cheng and Wei Shanhua, who entered the door, also straightened their waists and stood at attention: "Hello, Chief!"

Ji Yao scanned their faces, nodded, satisfied with their attitude, turned away and continued to flip the fish fillets: "Today is a rest day, not a training day, soldiers. Take it easy! Disband!"

The tense atmosphere was swept away, Chen Wei continued to laugh and sway, Lin Cheng smelled the fragrance and ran to sit next to the water bar, and the two laughed and talked.Fu Zhong shared a piece of Greek pastry with walnut oil, cut a corner with a spoon and fed it into Ji Yao's mouth.Chen Wei saw it, and frowned: "God, Fugou is too humble, isn't it?"

"Where is He Luan?" Fu Zhong turned back and asked, he took a casserole full of thick white fungus soup off the fire and put it on the towel, "Didn't I ask you to call him?"

"He's not in Beijing. He went to Lhasa and can't come back." Chen Wei replied.

Fu Zhong wiped his hands twice, then threw the rag away: "What is he doing in Lhasa?"

"Restore cultural relics." Chen Wei raised his glass to him, "Don't forget that I went to Tibet for archaeological missions at first."

Lin Cheng took a sip of Greek sweet rum, he still loves wine like hell.After tasting the sweet wine, he took another sip of lemon juice, raised his chin towards Fu Zhong: "Will Sandie come today?"

Fu Zhong shook his head, and took out a frying pan from the cabinet: "Sandie is a peace ambassador, and he is not in the country now. Besides, the Second Artillery is no longer here, so he will naturally come to this kind of gathering less."

Suddenly the room became much quieter, except for the sizzling sound of hot oil.Chen Wei sipped the cherry wine silently, stared blankly for a while, then lowered his eyelashes, pursed his lips, raised his glass and said, "To our best brother, Gu Zhou."

After the toast, Fu Zhong continued to work with his back to the island stage.Ji Yao has been standing silently at the side frying the fish fillets in the pan, frying the white fish until golden and tender.He was inexplicably distracted and forgot to turn off the fire, but Fu Zhong turned it off for him.

"The fish fillet is going to burn." Fu Zhong said.

Ji Yao was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly looked into the pot, frantically trying to lift the pot.Fu Zhong pressed his hand: "I'm lying to you, it's fried just right. I was distracted just now? What's on your mind?"

The smell of fish wafted out, Ji Yao smelled it for a while, and put chopsticks on the edge of the pot.He rubbed his brows calmly, and said, "I just thought of Gu Zhou again, he is my cousin. Such a good person, but now he is gone."

Fu Zhong knew what he was sad about, he gently hugged Ji Yao over, pressed against his forehead, and patted him on the back.Ji Yao knew that there were still so many pairs of eyes at home, but he didn't want to turn his face away or push Fu Zhong away.He didn't do anything, didn't say anything, he just raised his arms and quietly put them around Fu Zhong's waist.

At this time, Xinghe opened the door, and Fifth Master and Ba Pang walked in cheerfully, bringing a chill all over their bodies.These two had cheerful faces, and the moment they arrived they brightened the atmosphere in the room.Slowly, the joy dispelled the sadness, Ji Yao felt lively and happy, and the warm air made him dizzy, as if his soul had flown into the sky and was no longer in this world.He and Fu Zhong chatted and laughed at ease, and brought all kinds of dishes to the table. Now he is no longer a high-ranking commander, he has also become a member of ordinary people.

The guests arrived one after another, the boss walked in, and Zhu Min followed behind.Zhu Min wore a gold embroidered scarf with silver flowers, and came in with the blond-haired Lynne Dawn.Dawn's face was pale from the cold, but the tip of his nose and ears were red. He blinked his blue eyes to greet everyone.Except that Wei Shanhua is of mixed race, Dawn is the only foreigner left.Yue Junqi and the others had never seen him before, and everyone rushed to introduce this beautiful boy, with expressions of approval, as if they knew better than Dawn himself.

It was very lively for a while, and Fu Zhong had never felt that the house was so lively.They sat around the table, and the comrades who fought side by side in the "backtracking plan" and shared the joys and sorrows were reunited at this time, as if they had returned to the battlefield and the place where blood was full of worship.Even if Ji Yao sat at the top, no one felt restrained. After all, the usually stern-tongued chief seemed so amiable and approachable at this moment!

Zhu Min glanced around the guests, but did not see Xiao Zhuoming, so he quietly asked Fu Zhong: "Why didn't Dr. Xiao come? She shouldn't come, she is an important member of us."

Fu Zhong blinked and told him: "Xiao Zhuoming's uncle is seriously ill. It is said that his time is running out and he has no relatives around him. Dr. Xiao wanted to stay with him all the time, so he declined my invitation."

"Oh, my God." Zhu Min opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard such misfortune, nodded and stopped asking.

On the table, Yue Junqi shook a glass of red wine mixed with happy water, propped his elbow and asked Chen Wei who was sitting opposite her: "I heard that you went to Tibet to carry out an archaeological mission, and what you dug up looked like a fossil of a big snake?"

Chen Wei just rolled the sliced ​​beef in the sauce, raised his eyelids to look at Yue Junqi, showed a mysterious smile, and said: "At first it was for archaeology, but later it didn't. Somehow we We are marching up the Yarlung Zangbo River. We wanted to find He Luan’s father and find out the secrets of more than ten years ago. They all actually happened."

Then he spoke eloquently, and the whole table listened to his story with rapt attention.Although Chen Wei lost one eye, he has many fascinating stories in his belly.Finally he talked about the big snake skeleton. Chen Wei put down his chopsticks and folded his hands: "All the excavated things were transported by the military represented by Lieutenant General Yang Qilan to the Tibet Museum in Lhasa for storage. Listen, friends , it was a very, very large, magnificent, magnificent complete skeleton, but without the skull."

"Has the archaeological team confirmed its origin?" Ji Yao asked, "What kind of creature is it? What geological age was it left?"

Chen Wei thought for a while and replied: "The instrument can't detect the age of the fossil, and the fossil is not a stone at all, it is another kind of material that has never been seen before. This is weird. But what is it? I have experienced it too!"

Fu Zhong put a plate of glazed meatballs in front of Ji Yao, got up and took the bowl to help him scoop the mushroom soup simmering in the casserole, and said, "Maybe this is left from the ancient earth, it is the one with no head. The skeleton of the three-headed snake king."

Ji Yao asked Xinghe to release the photos, and everyone was amazed.Ji Yao bent his eyes and smiled at Fu Zhong, lowered his head and stirred the bowl full of thick soup, and said: "These are big snakes that are about to transform into dragons, and they are creatures of good fortune. If you don't see them with your own eyes, who can imagine them?" get."

Wu Ye said with a smile: "'Backtracking Project' has opened up our imagination."

"I think that's exactly what it means." Ji Yao replied.

Chen Wei nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe the skeleton in Tibet is a souvenir left to us by the Dragon King. There are still many mysteries. We have to think about it for many years. This world is waiting for us to explore."

Yue Junqi opened another bottle of happy water and drank it. Coke soda is her favorite, although carbonated drinks are not a healthy diet for executives.Everyone didn't continue this topic, they clinked glasses, and the table continued to be full of laughter.

The dinner didn't end until seven o'clock, everyone was full of praise from the bottom of their hearts for Fu Zhong's craftsmanship.Xiao Qi and the fox mingled among this group of people and had so much fun that their hairs all ran away.Everyone wants to touch them, but no one can touch them once. Whoever hugs a fox will be envied.Xiaoqi's body shape and face make him look like a wolf, handsome and awe-inspiring, but his eyes are so kind and cute, and his loyalty can be seen at a glance.

After eating, Fu Zhong and Ji Yao went to change their clothes, and then sat with everyone to take a group photo.Ji Yao was sent to the middle like the stars and the moon, and sat down on the sofa, leaning on the pillow with his elbows.Fu Zhong sat next to him, and behind him stood Chen Wei, Lin Cheng and good friends.Yue Junqi stretched his legs and sat on the armrest of the sofa, Fifth Master handed her a cup of fruit tea.Dawn straightened his hair and helped Zhu Min tie the scarf.The fox and the wolfhound combed their fur and squatted right in the middle.

Xinghe used a field survey camera to take pictures of them, which was a bit too real.Xinghe put his own face on the empty seat, next to that of Kalber, and then took a photo, capturing the subtle expressions on everyone's faces at that moment.Their faces are frozen in the photo, and the velvety night is reflected from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them, and the stars are dots of diamonds set in the night.

Lin Cheng and Wei Shanhua went home together, Shanhua rode a Ducati, and Lin Cheng sat in the back.Ducati flashed from one end to the other like a black lightning, Lin Cheng opened his arms to face the biting winter wind and shouted excitedly, then hugged Shanhua's waist tightly.

Chen Wei walked on the sidewalk with his pockets on, and sent a message to He Luan with a mobile phone while smiling.He sent the group photo he just took to He Luan, and He Luan quickly replied: Put me on P.

He Luan sent the photo to Chen Wei, and Chen Wei was overjoyed when he saw it. He took his other hand out of his pocket, and typed on the phone with both hands: I'll fix it for you later.

It took him a few minutes to put He Luan P on the group photo, and then sent it to him.At this time, he walked to the bus station not far from Chang'an Taihe, and the bus would not arrive in more than ten minutes.Standing under the stop sign, Chen Wei took a deep breath of the cold winter night. He had never felt that the air was so beautiful, it seemed to smell like stars.

He Luan sent a sentence after a while: oh, myeyes!Can you fix something in Yangjian?

Standing on the platform, Chen Wei looked at his mobile phone and smiled as if there was no one there, shook his body, and then sent a lot of "hahaha".

The lively Lantern Festival has just passed. At noon on February 2023, 2, Li Chongyan died of cancer and its complications in Li Huili Hospital at the age of 6.When he died, only Xiao Zhuoming was by his side, and the sound of fireworks was often heard in the deserted ward.

During the last 5 minutes of Li Chongyan's deathbed, Xiao Zhuoming held his hand and sat beside his bed like this.Li Chongyan was unable to speak at this time, his consciousness was blurred, and he seemed to be asleep and awake.The two were silent, only holding hands together.Gradually, Li Chongyan's fingers loosened, and he finally closed the heavy eyelids that had been holding him back all his life, and slowly fell asleep while exhaling for a long time.Li Chongyan was very calm when he died, with a kind and serene face. He had never made such an expression many times during his lifetime.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the punishment fell on him on this day.

Xiao Zhuoming knew that Li Chongyan was no longer alive, at first she tried her best to control herself, but then she couldn't help crying.She is a doctor and has saved countless lives in the "backtracking project", but she couldn't save her uncle.She felt that she had missed too much, and those things that were not cherished and missed could never come back.She turned a blind eye to Li Chongyan's love, and when she turned around suddenly, her uncle had already left her.So many ambiguous feelings that seem to be relatives but not relatives have all disappeared.Xiao Zhuoming looked at the birds outside the window, a new year has come, and she still has to move forward alone.

Tang Lin's case was heard by the Supreme People's Court in the next year. Before the trial, the relevant authorities adopted extremely strict security measures, and even requisitioned the Galaxy system to perform security protection tasks. The protection level was the same as that of the nuclear crisis.All defendants were handcuffed to the armed police. Those who entered the public gallery had to go through layers of security checks. Traffic control was imposed in the area around the court and no passage was allowed.The media was also stopped far outside the stop line, and the cameras could only capture the gate of the court and the strict guards.

Ji Yao came to the court, sat in the gallery watching Tang Lin, and Fu Zhong was beside him.Fu Zhong put his hand on the back of Ji Yao's hand, and Ji Yao's hand was a little cold.

Wu Jici's lawyer went to court to state that she had been preparing for this day for a long time, and now it was finally useful.The judge summoned witnesses one by one, and played a video in public, which recorded the whole process of Guzhou's murder, and the truth and wrong were clear at a glance.This evidence was submitted by Bai Zhu and taken from Guzhou's memory, and it was Professor Qi Mingli who provided technical support.They went through all kinds of hardships to find Guzhou's memory as evidence, and when it came in handy, they felt relieved.

Yan Suizhao was also present as one of the witnesses. He silently watched the picture on the giant screen, and could not help but feel sad and burst into tears.Although some things have passed for so long, when they are remembered again, they are so painful, as if they happened yesterday.

The trial of the case was fast and decisive. It took three days from the beginning of the trial to the conclusion of the trial, and a major case was settled in this way.The court sentenced Tang to the crimes of war crimes, crimes against humanity, treason, espionage, intentional homicide; Lin was sentenced to death and executed immediately.

Those who helped Tang Lin in the rebellion were treated as terrorists, and those who helped Tang Lin hijack vehicles and boats, smuggle weapons, and drugs were also punished according to their circumstances.The Russian Far East Mafia and the pirate organization "Tuna" in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk are on the blacklist and are the targets to be eradicated in the future. The "Immigration Classification Act" and the "Polaris Declaration" are all abolished. The earth residents who have immigrated will no longer return. They will arrive at T Puppis in 120 years to explore a new home. This group of people will be called "pioneers" .

After this case, many senior officials in the central government were sacked, and the rebel party was eliminated in one fell swoop.There are countless entanglements in this case, and hundreds of millions of people who died innocently cannot be compensated for the death of Tang Lin and others.

After the verdict came down, Bai Zhu returned Gu Zhou's body to Gu Qichuan.When Gu Zhou's coffin was lifted off the plane, Gu Qichuan couldn't help but burst into tears. He said "fate is not fair" one after another, and then went with the funeral procession to bury his son in the cemetery.Guzhou's tombstone is next to Baiyuan, which is clean and brand new. An oak tree's canopy covers the tombstone and rustles, as if paying special attention to them.

A week later, the day before the execution, the air was depressingly warm, and a red sun was about to fade into the distant horizon.The purple-coloured hills were soft and clear, and beyond those hills the sea had been dyed bright red by the sunset.

In Yancheng Prison's cell for first-degree felons, lawyer Wu Jici sat outside the bulletproof glass, talking to Tang Lin through the microphone.There was a folder in front of her, but she didn't look at it: "To be honest, you were arrested voluntarily, right?"

"I've already resigned myself to my fate. Resistance is useless to me. Even if I succeed in my resistance, I won't live anymore. I just want revenge, and it's over after revenge. Since my sister died, I haven't thought about it." To live."

Wu Jici looked at him with deep eyes, and left after a while: "Do you have any last words?"

"No." Tang Lin replied. He was wearing a gray prison uniform, his right hand and feet were handcuffed to a chair, and two police officers with guns stood behind him.Tang Lin's expression was quite calm, and his eyes, which were often red, returned to normal at this time, and there was a peaceful look in those eyes.

"What about letters or suicide notes?"

Tang Lin blinked and shook his head: "Not at all."

Wu Jici nodded, tapped the cap of the pen, and covered the folder: "Is there anything else to say?"

Tang Lin raised his left hand and reached into the neckline, the long scar on the back of his hand was clearly visible.He tore off the necklace tied around his neck and handed it to the police standing aside. After confirming the safety of the item, the police took it out and handed it to Wu Jici.

It was an amber necklace, with a drop-shaped piece of amber hanging from a black string, and a colorful beetle inside.Wu Jici hesitated for a while, then picked up the necklace and stared at it with eyelashes down.Wu Jici was Tang Chu, and Tang Chu naturally recognized this necklace, because it was given to her by Tang Lin when she was a young girl.The soft luster of amber reflects strange colors, through which can be seen the past time, and the life in that paradise.

"This necklace used to have extraordinary meaning to me, but now I don't need it anymore, and the person who can add luster to it is gone." Tang Lin said, "I will give it to you because I have no relatives and no reason." , no one will come to keep things for me."

Tang Chu sat in front of the bulletproof glass and looked at him, looking at him with Wu Jici's eyes, and they just looked at each other calmly.After rubbing Amber with her fingers for a while, the police came to remind her that it was time.Tang Chu tidied up the folder without showing any signs of expression, and the prison guards took Tang Lin away.Tang Chu put on a windbreaker and walked outside the prison. The setting sun was still bright, and the snow had melted. There were water marks here and there on the wet floor, reflecting a purple-gray dome.

She took a deep breath of the cool, warm air, and walked down the steps, a path surrounded by wet bushes.She stood on the wide fence cover of the sewer for a while, lowered her head, as if she was looking for something, stayed for a full minute before leaving quickly.

On the execution day, Fu Zhong stood in the execution ground with a gun in his hand. Tang Lin turned his back to him and faced a gray-white wall in front of him.The execution ground was located behind Yancheng Prison. It was wide and open, surrounded by walls on three sides and barbed wire on one side.There are sentry towers at the four corners of the site. Prison guards are patrolling above with guns in their hands. Wires are pulled from the top of the walls. Birds often come here to rest.

The sun is strong, and there is a breath of spring approaching quietly, the sky is bright and the air is clear, and the spring and scenery are bright.Tang Lin was sitting on a chair with his hands bound, looking at the gray-white wall and the flying birds standing beside the high wall. The sun was hanging above everyone's heads with its blazing and terrifying round face.At this moment, he only felt calm, and felt that he was finally free.As early as in Uganda, he felt this long-lost peace. The last time he felt this way was in the summer 15 years ago.Long Long Summer, Tang Lin is the elder brother, Tang Ji is the younger brother, and Tang Chu is the younger sister.

The execution time was approaching, and a helicopter gunship was flying in the sky, like a summer dragonfly, and suddenly disappeared from sight.Fu Zhong walked to the firing position, raised the gun and pointed it at Tang Lin.This gun was equipped during the "Atlas" operation, and it was also used to escort Tang Lin onto the plane.Now he wants to accomplish the justice that is overdue in person. He wants to kill the terrorist leader and the murderer who murdered his mother with his own hands.

Ji Yao stood outside the wall of the execution ground. Such execution grounds also exist in the anti-terrorist battlefield, next to the concentration camps where enemy terrorists were held, and gunshots rang out every day.Leaning his back against the rough wall, he bit a cigarette and lit the lighter, the flame illuminating his face.A strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus permeated the air. At this moment, a gunshot shook the birds parked on the wire, and their chirping and chirping fell like raindrops.Ji Yao narrowed his eyes and breathed out a puff of smoke calmly. When the gunshot fell heavily on his head, it was as if he had received a gift.

At the beginning of April, the drawings of the museum jointly designed by Fu Zhong and his company team were all completed, and construction began after all approvals were completed.This museum specially designed to commemorate the "Retrospect Project" will be built on the basis of the green space of Binjiang Park destroyed during the war. It has a garden-like landscape and buildings with strange shapes and a sense of the future standing in layers of greenery. Inspired abstractly from the coordinates of the "Retrospective" ship.Those strange biological specimens brought back from the "backtracking project" will be honored to be exhibited here publicly.

One kilometer away from the Time Bureau, white stone monuments were erected in the cemetery, surrounded by winding paths, very quiet.In a tree-lined place, a purple shell-colored granite monument rises from the ground, standing impressively on a cristobal base, with a magnificent momentum.It is so tall that, walking in the fountain square below it, one often feels like an insignificant dwarf.Carved with laurel branches and wreaths and shining stars at the top of the monument, its spire is in line with the central building of the Time Bureau.

On the top of the spire is a bright dome, and wisps of fiery golden light splash naked from the dome of the sky onto the stele, illuminating a personal name on the stele.Those names are shining, telling the simple wishes, reminding people of the time of Homer with ancient beliefs.Though the night hid the sun, and the depths of the water dimmed the light, yet all things shone with atoms taken from the stars.The land that was once in turmoil rested in peace, and the dreams that flew away in the night all returned with wings, and came to the sea and the mountains.

The time bureau, monuments, and museums are connected in a line. The majestic buildings are worshiping the sun, and the clouds and mists that reach the sky and the sea are the fragrance of the gods shaken from the copper furnace.
