Mountains and seas have a home

It was not too late, so Ji Yao stopped by the place where Fu Zhong lived for a while.Since their relationship has deepened day by day, there have been more and more visits to each other.Fu Zhong misses Ji Yao all the time, eagerly looks forward to walking with him at any time, and prays that time will pass more slowly.Fu Zhong deeply felt the unfairness of time, the lonely moments are so difficult, but the good times with Ji Yao are fleeting.

Fu Zhong didn't let Ji Yao sit outside, he invited Ji Yao into the bedroom, poured yogurt for him, cut a few apples and put them in a glass bowl.The two talked for a while, and Fu Zhong took the coordinate instrument manual off the shelf, turned to the page he was reading, and opened his notebook to write some summaries.Ji Yao didn't get up and leave immediately, he stood beside Fu Zhong without saying a word and looked down at his phone, he felt that the night should be spent like this.

The two minded their own affairs, and Ji Yao patiently waited for Fu Zhong to finish reading a page before reaching out to press the footer of the page, and said with a smile: "The pronunciation of this word is wrong. This is a voiced stop, what did you read?" It's a voiceless consonant, and you have to vibrate your vocal cords while pronouncing it."

Hearing this, Fu Zhong pressed his throat and read it again.Because the inherent pronunciation system of Chinese has affected him for a long time, it is a bit difficult for him to learn a foreign language, but Ji Yao does not despise him because of this.After a while, Ji Yao smiled, moved the chair and sat beside Fu Zhong, shoulder to shoulder and knee to knee with him.He stretched out his finger to press on a line of words, pointed to the word and read it again, put his hand on the lower part of his Adam's apple, and gestured to Fu Zhong while reading.

After reading it twice, Ji Yao asked Fu Zhong to read after him. Ji Yao raised his hand to support Fu Zhong's chin, and asked him to straighten his body.Ji Yao put his finger under Fu Zhong's Adam's apple, and he wanted to test with his own hands whether Fu Zhong was studying hard or just doing things in a perfunctory manner.Ji Yao touched the artery that happened to flow through it, and he felt the heart pumping up and down under the skin. He rubbed it with his index finger for a while, and didn't stop until it burned the place.

Fu Zhong was flustered by Ji Yao, and he pronounced "coordinates" as "Zuobiao" several times.Ji Yao lowered his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, supported his shoulder and told him to pronounce harder.Knowing that he couldn't always be led by the nose by Ji Yao, Fu Zhong summoned up his courage and quickly raised his hand, pretending to press it unintentionally on Ji Yao's palm, and then tried his best to read "Zuo Biao" correctly.Fu Zhong grinned, he hurriedly looked at Ji Yao, and pressed his finger down a little more as if to prove it.

Ji Yao stretched out his hand and didn't take it back, but now he was firmly held by Fu Zhong, and he couldn't pull it away even if he wanted to.When there was no way to retreat, Ji Yao changed his mind, he thought it was good to do so, any struggle would be hypocritical and futile.What's more, Fu Zhong is rich and young, with good looks and good conduct. He is not only alert and cautious, but also quite courageous. Ji Yao has long been in love with him.Ji Yao even thought wishfully: If he agrees to me, it will be a great kindness; if he refuses me, it will ruin my life.

"Are you listening to what I read?" Fu Zhong asked.

"No." Ji Yao shook his head harshly.

"Then why don't you read it again?" Fu Zhong said with a smile, "I won't read it wrong this time."

Ji Yao pursed his lips and thought in his mind, his Adam's apple moved conspicuously in Fu Zhong's sight.His throat was burning and astringent, and Ji Yao found that his voice was dry when he spoke, without a trace of moisture.He hastily picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water, covering up the shyness on his face.Ji Yao looks as if he is waiting for something, but in fact he has no master.It took him a while to clear up his mood before he opened his mouth to read the words. Fu Zhong put his hands together to press the accent for himself, imitating Ji Yao decently.

"It's right this time." Ji Yao laughed, and at the same time withdrew his hand, holding the water glass tightly, as if the glass was filled with "honey of life", which was his life-saving thing.In order to avoid staring at Fu Zhong, he had to stare at the book intently.

Everyone knows that Ji Yao has a decent status and a reputation, but he often sticks to etiquette in front of Fu Zhong to the point of pedantry.At this time, in order to delay the time, he picked up the pen next to him, and then habitually ordered Fu Zhong to take out his notebook. He had to teach Fu Zhong about the pronunciation rules of Russian.Fu Zhong did so, and then Ji Yao discovered that the notebook Fu Zhong was using was the one he gave him, which made Ji Yao very happy.

"This book is so expensive, it seems that I can't write indiscriminately." Ji Yao joked happily, "Tell me, what did you write on the title page?"

Fu Zhong turned to the title page, took a look, and said, ""To Kane". One of my favorite poems, I can recite it backwards."

"Apart from this?"

"There is also the Time Bureau's "Victory", and the founding declaration." Fu Zhong turned the notebook to Ji Yao, ""The Victory" was the thing that attracted me to come to the Time Bureau to make a fortune from the very beginning. , the founding declaration made me even more excited."

Ji Yao leaned on his elbow to look at him, and looked at Fu Zhong thoughtfully for a while before asking, "Is that why you joined the time bureau?"

Fu Zhong didn't deny it, he nodded resolutely: "Yes. For me, they can give me strength, allow me to advance bravely, and embark on one journey after another. Anything that can give me strength will be born in my heart. Longing, whether it is a thing, a thing, or a person.”

Ji Yao stroked her hair and laughed, raised her wrist and nodded Fu Zhong, and said, "Isn't this what you said when you came to the bureau for an interview?"

"But it's also my truth, isn't it?" Fu Zhong put his hands on his cheeks and smiled happily, "But you still remember what I said at that time. I thought that after so many years, you would have already said These are forgotten."

"You are the one who stands out the most among the people I have interviewed. If I don't remember you, who will I remember? Everyone likes outstanding people, let alone someone like you who is open-minded and can see the bottom at a glance. Even if it is another interview Officer, they will also be full of praise for you."

"You mean do you like me?" Fu Zhong turned his eyes to look at Ji Yao, his beating heart and trembling atrium were all looking forward to getting an affirmative answer.

Ji Yao looked at him very sincerely, and there were not many opportunities for Ji Yao to look at someone sincerely and remain silent for a long time.He blinked his eyes thoughtfully, this kind of sincere and never superficial attitude made Fu Zhong's affection for him deepen immediately, and it seemed to be at the top for a while.Fu Zhong felt that he wanted to love him so much that he was fascinated by it, and a sense of doom that was inevitable drove him crazy; Fu Zhong knew that the enthusiasm and love of young people was really terrible, even he couldn't help but be dumbfounded!

After a while, Ji Yao clasped his fingers and nodded in a dignified manner, telling him: "I don't deny it, I really appreciate you as a person. Why don't we use less obscure words, I have admiration for you Heart."

These words made Fu Zhong dizzy with happiness, almost passed out.He rubbed his hot face, and he didn't care about his Russian. After thinking for a long time, he asked, "Sir, I'm so happy now, it's like flying into the sky. Can I hug you?"

"Why do you want to hug me?" Ji Yao frowned with a smile, and looked at him with puzzled and earnest eyes, "Want to share your happiness with me?"

Fu Zhong pursed his lower lip, and sat face to face with Ji Yao: "To be honest, I have exactly that intention."

"To be honest," Ji Yao said with a restrained smile, his eyes shining brightly, "I wanted to reject you. But I changed my mind. It is a joy to be able to share happiness with others."

They hugged each other gently under the lamp, Fu Zhong put his arms around him, and put his face on Ji Yao's shoulder.Ji Yao's shoulders are very hard, stronger and more durable than iron, just as Fu Zhong said, Ji Yao is a person who can give him strength.Fu Zhong doesn't think about anything at this moment, he just wants to keep a short period of time at this moment, so that it will not be swallowed even when the torrent of time rushes by.He felt like falling into a dream, but the real touch in his arms let him know that this was reality, so he happily hugged Ji Yao a little tighter.

After hugging for more than half a minute, Fu Zhong suddenly said: "Sir, are you feeling better?"

"...I'm fine, happy, infected by you."

"Then it will be the same in the future? Forget all those unpleasant memories, and don't let the nothingness of the past overwhelm you. Look, isn't it good now? The days are endless, and there are plenty of things to look forward to."

Ji Yao was surprised, surprised that Fu Zhong was still obsessed with his anxiety disorder, and worried about it all the time.Ji Yao was tortured by memory, he wanted to let him do what he wanted and resign himself to fate, but Fu Zhong tried every means to make Ji Yao feel better.

Thinking of this, Ji Yao felt more and more that he was favored by the god of luck, and he was finally lucky enough to enjoy the blessings in heaven.He lowered his head and patted Fu Zhong's back lightly, saying: "Thank you for taking care of my feelings so much, it makes me feel that my future is promising."

After that, they loosened their arms, separated a little, and returned to the previous state.Ji Yao shook his hands, touched his hot ears, picked up the pen neatly, wrote a few Russian letters on the paper, and then pointed it to Fu Zhong.He tried his best to teach Fuzhong voiced stops, retroflexes, and labiodental fricatives, and listed representative words respectively.

"This is 'I', and this is 'you'." Ji Yao wrote down words at both ends as he spoke, "Remember, Captain Fu, this consonant letter needs to be voiced. I'll add another word in the middle——"

Ji Yao watched as the last stroke was over.Ji Yao knows that this word means "love".

"Why don't you read it anymore?" Fu Zhong asked after seeing him pause, "What does the word in the middle mean? How should we pronounce it?"

The splashed water cannot be taken back. Ji Yao raised his finger and pointed on it calmly, and taught Fu Zhong to read one by one in Russian: "I, love, you. Do you understand, soldier? Read it to me Listen, hurry up!"

Fu Zhong spread his hands and said, "You haven't told me what the words in the middle mean."

"The word in the middle is meaningless, it's just used as a preposition to connect 'I' and 'you'." Ji Yao put down his pen and stared at Fu Zhong like a strict teacher, "Hurry up, follow what I just taught you." Read it once, don't procrastinate!"

"I love you." Fu Zhong read it again, then looked at Ji Yao, and found that he just smiled.

Fu Zhong went to the outside room to fetch a cup of yogurt. After entering the door, he saw Ji Yao meditating on the tablet, leaned over and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

"The last photo I went to Chita was taken by a drone. Wei Shanhua sent it back to me today." Ji Yao turned the tablet a little so that Fu Zhong could see it clearly, "Come on, let's take a look, Wu The man-machine captured a lot of good things worth thinking about.”

"What is this one?" Fu Zhong tapped the screen.

Ji Yao leaned back in the chair, took a blanket and put it on his knees to warm his hands, pressed the line of his lips and said, "The weird guy we met in the swamp when we returned. No, it's not appropriate to say that, it should be 'like A monster of man'."

"Did you get the face? I remember they had a horrible elongated triangular face with a rather large, scaly mouth that was just creepy."

"It's taken, this is the facial recognition image." Ji Yao pulled out another photo on the floating screen and placed it outside. "As you can see, the image is very clear, but no matching object was found in the database."

Fu Zhong swallowed a mouthful of yogurt: "This is too unreasonable. Have you taken it to Xinghe for verification? Maybe Xinghe can find this kind of thing in the database."

Ji Yao turned on the phone, pulled out a document and handed it to Fu Zhong, saying: "Wei Shanhua took it to Xinghe to search, but the result was undoubtedly disappointing—the target object was not matched. This is thought-provoking. What is it? What creature? Where did it come from?"

"Isn't that place a military restricted area? It's a blank area of ​​'data missing' on the map." Fu Zhong propped up on the desktop and zoomed in on the map, and found the location of the Chita Hunting Ground. It should be looked at with normal thinking.”

The image on the map stayed in the mountains outside the hunting ground. Ji Yao wrapped the blanket tighter and said, "You must have made a big fuss about the light acceleration field in your stomach, right? Do you think those monsters came from other places?" What time and space did it come from?"

Fu Zhong responded with a smile, raised his eyebrows cunningly, and touched the small mole on his eyebrows: "My imagination has already put on wings and flew like a poet's cat."

"That's right, it's a wonderful thing to have imagination." Ji Yao said, he turned off the floating screen and organized the photos on the tablet, "I have to pack these things and find time for CUBL Let the experts take a look, they like this kind of monster the most."

Afterwards, it was getting late, and Ji Yao was about to leave Fu Zhong's residence and return to his sad place.Before leaving, he put on his coat first, then tore off the page with "I love you" written on it in the notebook, folded it and stuffed it into his pocket.Fu Zhong sent him to the door, Ji Yao folded his arms and was about to open the door to go out, but he seemed to remember something, and turned back to Fu Zhong and said: "The word I taught you today, read it to me again, let me see you Does it go in the left ear and out the right ear?"

"I love you." I didn't know that I had said it in Russian in a proper way.

Ji Yao nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was leaving, he turned around and looked at Fu Zhong and said, "I love you. That's how I read it. Go back and practice a few more times. I'll pick a day to check."

"I feel very lucky now." Fu Zhong said.

"why?"

"Because I dream of having a foreign language teacher with a pleasing appearance like you."

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Ji Yao pretended to blame him, then hurriedly turned around and opened the door and walked out, disappearing by the door as if fleeing.

Ji Yao rushed into her living room in three steps and two steps, leaning against the door panel of the room and gasping for breath, as if she had just killed someone.He looked around, there was no one in the house, and there was no sound. Ji Yao pressed his chest that kept rising and falling, and he was about to be stunned by love.Ji Yao ran to open the refrigerator and poured a few sips of ice water, feeling that ice balls had froze in his stomach.He slipped into the bedroom, lay on his back on the bed, and sank into the soft quilt.

He took out the folded paper from his pocket, unfolded it and held it up to read. The words "I love you" were circled in red pen on the paper.The muscles on his cheeks became very sore from laughing for a long time, and all kinds of emotions flew to the corners of his eyes.Ji Yao put down the paper to cover her lips and kissed, stared at the ceiling for a while with her red eyes that were about to shed tears, and then covered her eyes and said, "Oh my God!"

Afterwards, he took off his coat and vest and rolled sideways into the bed, lifted the quilt to wrap himself up, and burrowed into the crook of his arms with his smoldering face.

For the next ten days or so, Fu Zhong went to Ji Yao for training every day.It was almost time for the mission team to leave, and Ji Yao was so busy that he was almost exhausted.

On this day, he held the document and talked with several staff members, and a call from Fu Zhong came in.Ji Yao couldn't have both hands free, so he had to tilt his head to listen to the phone with his mobile phone in his hands, and quickly put on the earphones for himself with one hand.Just as Ji Yao was halfway through his words, a person suddenly walked beside him and took away half of the documents for him. Ji Yao raised his head and pressed Fu Zhong's chest: "What are you doing here? I told you to go to the training ground and wait. Why are you disobedient? Hurry up, soldier, turn your toes in the other direction!"

"Hello, sir." Fu Zhong saluted according to the regulations, "This is the place to go to the training ground. I just passed by and saw you busy here. You don't seem to be free like this. Yes Do you need anything? I'll help you."

Ji Yao supported the table and took a breath, but did not answer.After a group of people finished talking, Ji Yao took the hot water from Fu Zhong and drank it all in one gulp, asking, "It's been so long, why are you still here?"

They walked quickly to the office, Fu Zhong went in and arranged the computer and folders for Ji Yao: "I see that you are very busy, so I will help you with small things. If you really have a hard time finding time in the future, you don't have to." Going to the training ground every day."

Ji Yao rested on the edge of the table, stretched out his fingers and pointed at Fu Zhong's strong chest, and said, "Do you want to get rid of my surveillance and be lazy? No way. I must stay by your side, and you must get it in the assessment. No. 1."

"Got it, sir. You're right."

The assessment lasted from the end of December to the first ten days of January of the following year.At this time, Siberia had been frozen for thousands of miles, and Lake Baikal had frozen a layer of ice more than ten meters thick. There were many huge bubbles in the ice layer, and there were countless cracks extending for several kilometers.Fu Zhong stood at the airport and looked at the huge skylight above his head. The heavy snow outside the skylight was blowing down everywhere. The unfathomable sky seemed to be lower than any other season, and it was so heavy that it was about to collapse.Strong winds howled around the mountains, and Fu Zhong was going to take his flight test in such weather.

Ji Yao was dressed in a combat uniform and boarded Fu Zhong's plane with a sign 15 minutes before takeoff.Fu Zhong pinned the walkie-talkie, turned on the instrument in the cockpit, and said, "What a coincidence, you are my invigilator."

"Sometimes I have to be surprised that the fate is so dramatic." Ji Yao buckled the seat belt on the seat, put on the flight helmet, raised his hand to enter the password on the control screen, and turned on the simulation state of the aircraft.

Fu Zhong held the joystick to spread out the folded wings, and stared at the take-off commander who was waving flags and gesticulating at him desperately in front of him: "Before the exam starts, the candidates will not know who their respective invigilators are. You seem to be Was it decided by lottery?"

Ji Yao hummed and checked whether the navigation system was in good condition: "That's right, the invigilator's lottery channel was only opened an hour before the exam. So thanks to the gift of fate, I got Captain Fu."

They all laughed, and the wings were fully deployed at this time. After reporting the status of the aircraft to the control tower, Fu Zhong was allowed to drive the aircraft to the standby runway.Fu Zhong shouted, and raised his hand to push the slider on the top of the cabin to the front to lock it tightly. Ji Yao also raised his hand and gestured "standby to take off" to the takeoff commander outside the windshield.The plane turned around and slowly entered the waiting area, followed the guidance of Moros and drove into the vacated runway to stop.

Molos connected to the full-channel call: "Attention all reference personnel, the flight test is about to begin. The test time is three hours, the flight distance is 2864 kilometers, and the destination is the Moscow Headquarters of the Time Bureau. The newly generated map has been sent to your navigator. "

"It's the last exam, don't make mistakes." Ji Yao put on his mask, and gently pressed Fu Zhong's hand holding the joystick, "Remember what I told you, when flying in a storm, let the plane follow the wind. "

"Got it, sir." Fu Zhong said, he turned his head to look at Ji Yao, then laughed, and then clicked on the public channel, "The nose wheel, the radome has been checked, it's normal. The gunfire diffuser is normal, and the left and right air intakes are normal .Confirm the ejection seat and handle. Confirmed, normal. The communication system and the identification friend or foe system are turned on, and the identification code is RTG-99.7-M80. The digital imaging device, the multi-tasking color imaging device, and the head-up display are on standby. Flight control, environmental control , The warning system is all normal."

"Tower received, takeoff commander received. Cleared for takeoff. Ready for takeoff."

"Received, ready for takeoff. Ambient control turbine activated, jet tailpipe retracted. Ready. Good condition, ready for takeoff."

"Received by the main control station. Ferret One, cleared for takeoff."

The plane roared loudly, trembling and spraying out pale tail flames.After the airport was elevated, it was completely exposed to the wind and snow. Clusters of centuries-old firs defied the severe cold and thrust their dark green crowns straight into the black sky, like the peaks of snow-capped mountains.The cold heavy snow not only did not block Fu Zhong's sight, but made him see higher and farther.Fu Zhong felt as if his body was filled with strange power, his hearing became clearer, and his eyes became clearer. When the plane drove across the runway and took off into the sky, this strange feeling became more and more obvious.

A red dot flashes on the navigator.The flight path was cut into five sections, and Fu Zhong had to fly over five flight areas - blizzard, lightning, hurricane, haze, and turbulence.There is a supply station at the end of each flight area, and there are invigilators guarding the stations. Fu Zhong must exchange a pass from the demanding and mysterious invigilator before entering the next flight area.After taking off, a large cloud of snow foam hit the windshield, and Fu Zhong adjusted the angle so that the plane could follow the strong airflow and fly towards the destination against the swaying wind.
