nebula story

Rib injuries are not like fractures in other parts. The patient does not absolutely need to stay in bed, and there is no plaster board to fix the injury.Listening to the doctor's will, Chesu started to get out of bed and walk around after two or three weeks of bed rest.

In the huge bungalow villa, Chesu found that Mrs. Lin seemed to be the only owner, and the male owner had never shown up. The daughter Mrs. Lin said was "a little older than him", she didn't know if she was out of town or married Leaving the cabinet has never appeared once.

In addition to the driver Lao Pan who drove a special car for Mrs. Lin that day, and the old mother whom I saw the next day, there seemed to be several hourly workers who were responsible for food shopping and gardening and pruning of the flower garden. They appeared and left on time every day.

Looking from the window on the second floor of the villa, the surrounding area is extremely quiet, the environment is elegant, and there are few idlers coming and going.

This just fit Chesu's eagerness to hide. If it hadn't been for the car that was stopped at random when he had nowhere to go that day, if he was still stranded in the crowded urban area, he would never be able to hide at dawn. , and will never escape the scrupulous search that day.

——Yes, he still shudders a little when he thinks of the personal surveillance like tarsus maggots this week.

And here, there seems to be no danger at all, like a small, reassuring paradise.

Carefully controlling his scope of action to the second floor, he rarely even hangs around the living room downstairs.Avoid being seen as much as possible, and minimize the chance of being exposed to anyone, these are the only protective measures he can do now.

But what the future holds is still a blank slate.Without an identity card, without any money, how should he integrate into this completely strange foreign country, how should he try to survive?

What's more, the shadow of being hunted down by the state machinery here is still there all the time, like a cold long sword hanging above the head, which may fall at any time.

Every day, he wandered carefully on the federal civilian network, collecting maps, catching flights, and looking for the location of military bases.Although there is no plan in place at all, and even though the journey home is still so far away, before any opportunity comes, he must make complete preparations.

……

Holding a bouquet of pink roses sent to the living room by the gardener in her hand, Mrs. Lin gently pushed open Chesu's door.Looking at Chesu in front of the window with her back to the door, she smiled and shook her head.

It was a figure looking at the computer screen seriously, so focused that she didn't notice her coming in from the back.Because she was afraid that Chesu would be bored, she originally wanted to bring a TV and a game console to this room, but Chesu shyly declined. If he hadn't accidentally discovered that his eyes lit up when he passed by her study and saw the computer, she would have Can't think of a computer for him.

That's right, boys of this age may not like to watch TV or play games, but they yearn for new things on the Internet.

But what surprised her a little was that at first she thought this child was always a bit aggressive, but now, it turned out that he was a quiet and obedient baby.

Look, this kid often sits in front of the computer for a whole day. If I hadn't reminded him on time, I'm afraid he would even forget to eat and take medicine.

Taking the slightly wilted flowers from the vase in the room, she carefully replaced them with roses in her hand.The flower vines outside the wall are blooming just right, even if they are picked for the whole family's room, there are still flowers like a sea of ​​flowers blooming among the branches and leaves.

Finally startled by the soft sound of the vase behind him, the boy in front of the window turned his head, and when he saw her, he burst into a shy and fresh smile.

Standing up, he bowed gratefully to Mrs. Lin: "Thank you...thank you for your trouble, these flowers are so beautiful."

"Don't always be so polite." Mrs. Lin walked to the table and looked at the screen curiously, slightly surprised.Complicated and unfamiliar device structure diagram?

"Is it a car part?" she asked with a smile.

In addition to being bored in the guest room on the second floor, the child often hangs around in the garage downstairs. With the permission of the driver, Lao Pan, he also seems to like to play with the family's cars.

It's normal for a boy of this age to like racing cars, not to mention that the cars at home are all good cars from the military, so anyone who knows a little will be happy to see Lie Xin.

"Well, it's a mechanical component, but it's not a car, it's on the mecha." Chesu scratched his head embarrassingly.

Very different from the strict resource management of the empire, the commonwealth's private resource sharing is very open. If it does not involve confidentiality, most of the detailed information can be found on the Internet.

Just like in the past few days, he found a lot of detailed drawings of non-military mechas in some folk mecha enthusiast forums where the registration is very simple. What is particularly interesting is that he even found a few days ago. The structural diagram of the round-headed and round-brained housework-type small mech seen in the Armor Museum!

Mrs. Lin was sitting on the chair opposite Chesu, while beating her lower back casually.Chesu keenly noticed Mrs. Lin's movement of rubbing her waist, and asked carefully, "Is your waist uncomfortable?"

"Oh, it's nothing. When I was giving birth before, I suffered a little bit of illness, and I often felt backache." Mrs. Lin laughed at herself, "The older you get, the worse it gets."

Staring blankly at her, Chesu suddenly asked softly, "I... let me rub it for you!"

Master Andy used to like to cross his legs and ask himself to beat his back and rub his waist. It is said that his skills are pretty good!

"Ah? You are a guest, and you are still a small patient. How can you..." Mrs. Lin laughed in surprise.

Standing up hastily, Chesu mustered up the courage to stand behind her, blushing, and carefully helped her massage gently.

The gentle and peaceful woman in front of him was so friendly to him from the bottom of his heart, it often gave him a strange feeling of sour nose.

When he couldn't sleep at night because of chest pain, he was surprised to find that Mrs. Lin came to his room quietly for several tossing and turning nights. When the wind was blowing, she helped him close the window; when the weather changed, she quietly helped him cover him with a thin blanket.

Except for the old man far away in the sky, no one in this world has ever treated him like this. Involuntarily, Chesu felt a sense of intimacy with this woman whom he met by chance.

Glancing at Chesu's flushed face, seeing his cautious and serious expression, Mrs. Lin's heart felt inexplicably warm, and finally she didn't stop Chesu's abrupt move.

While quietly enjoying Chesu's massage, she looked at the pictures Chesu tuned out with great interest: "Oh? Do you like mechs?"

Chesu nodded, his eyes sparkling: "I like it very much! Actually, I know a little about mecha repair."

"Oh! It's great to do this." Mrs. Lin smiled, her heart overflowing with love and admiration for Chesu, "I see you often stay in the garage, why, do you also like cars?"

"Well, I'm a little interested." Chesu whispered, feeling guilty. He wasn't very interested in modifying vehicles, but in order to escape at any time, these preparations had to be done in advance.

"Boys should learn more about these things, and girls should learn literature and painting. It's a pity that my tomboy daughter, like you, likes to delve into these things every day. I feel a headache when I look at it." Lin Madame sighed.

"Ah, sister, does she also like mechs?" Chesu's eyes widened curiously.

"Basically, she liked this when she was a child, but later..." With a long sigh, Mrs. Lin half complained, but her tone couldn't help being proud, "I don't know which movie she saw the Star Wars clip, and she suddenly announced It’s time to learn battleship control.”

"That's amazing. The girls are with us..." Chesu exclaimed in a low voice, swallowing the rest of the sentence abruptly—"There is no chance to learn these things in our empire." This sentence must never be said Come out!

Blushing, he stammered and finished the second half of the sentence: "Girls don't seem to like these things in our eyes."

"Who said it wasn't? But her father and grandfather are very happy. Who calls this family a military family?"

Military family?Chesu's heart was startled suddenly, and he "thumped" wildly.

Not noticing the sudden strange look on his face, Mrs. Lin sighed, and the pride and tenderness on her brows began to be entangled with a touch of sadness: "Once you learn this, it is impossible not to go to a military academy for further studies. Once the war comes, a woman Children also have to go to the battlefield."

"Ah..." After listening blankly, Chesu asked in a low voice, "Sister, is she at war now?"

Madam Lin's eyes slowly turned red: "Yes, on the first day of the war last year, she was transferred to the front line of Star Fisher."

Listening with bated breath, Chesu looked at her red eyes and suddenly felt sad.Something was stuck in his throat, and he wanted to say something clumsily, but he couldn't speak at all.

After a while, he whispered, "It will end... things like war will end one day."

"Yes. We all hope that it will end soon." Mrs. Lin smiled wryly, "The war on the front line is so tight now, and the anti-war voices within the Federation are so loud. Look... If there are so many internal differences, how can we expect How about fighting this battle in one go?"

Smiling reluctantly, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Intentionally changing the subject, she smiled and looked at a small screen in the lower corner of the computer: "Hey, we happen to have one of this little mech at home."

Startled slightly, Chesu turned his eyes to look at the screen.That little guy with a round head and a round brain, a housework miniature mecha!

"But it's not yellow, it's light pink." Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing, "I've always asked my daughter to learn to do housework, but my husband is very supportive of her learning military knowledge. I blame him for being too spoiled for my daughter, In the future, the child will be very embarrassed when he gets married, so he bought this thing in silence, saying that it will be his daughter's dowry in the future, and he can help her with any housework!"

"Hey, it's great! This kind of mecha is very interesting. I just found out that it is a prototype designed by a folk mecha lovers' alliance. Even the main chip is completely independently developed!" Chesu looked at Lin Madam's expression seemed to be listening to heaven, and she quickly added: "In short, your daughter does not need to worry about housework in the future!"

"Really?" Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing, "I hope she won't burn down the kitchen when she gets married in the future."

She also laughed along with her, and Chesu's dark eyes turned into bright crescent moons: "My father is like this too. I told him that I hate cooking so much, so since I was a child, he never let me cook at home. I've been cooking."

Staring at him, Mrs. Lin's eyes were soft, with appropriate comfort: "Then, no matter what happens, you shouldn't hide from your family, right?"

Looking at her in amazement, Chesu slowly understood what she meant.It turned out that she still regarded herself as a child who made a mistake and left home and stayed away.

"Madam, I don't want to lie to you." He whispered, clenched his fists quietly, half of the handcuffs on his wrists had been removed by him long ago, "I'm very sorry, some things about me... can't tell you for the time being But I assure you, what I am willing to say is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

"I know." Mrs. Lin said kindly, yes, after dozens of days of getting along, she has already vaguely noticed something.That was this well-behaved and quiet young man who would rather remain silent than lie.

Chesu plucked up his courage, and finally looked at the woman in front of him seriously: "I know you must be a little suspicious of my identity, because the day you met me, I was indeed being hunted by some people. Maybe one day, You might even regret saving me."

After hesitating for a while, there was a bit of sadness and bitterness in his dark eyes, but he confessed and was clear: "But, please believe me. I really haven't done anything heinous, I haven't hurt anyone, I haven't hurt anyone of."

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand and gently stroked his hair: "Silly boy, silly boy. I believe you..."

With tears in her eyes, she stood up quickly and gently took Chesu's hand: "Come with me, are you interested in seeing my daughter's dowry?"

Following her directly, until she entered a storage room, Chesu let out a soft cry of surprise: the small round-headed mecha in front of her is exactly the same as the one she saw in the museum!

Just like Mrs. Lin said, with a cute and cute pink shell, it really looks like a pink maid!

"Come on, help me." Mrs. Lin looked at Chesu dotingly, with a beautiful smile on her lips, "This mecha has been idle for a long time, and I'm afraid the joints will be rusted—you know better It’s repaired, can you put some oil on it?”

In the office building of MI[-], there was a depressive atmosphere that was different from the past.

Everyone's faces were gloomy and forbearing, and nameless frustration and pressure permeated every corner and filled everyone's hearts.

Although General Xie Zhan, the top general in the military, did not really express his thunderous anger, and although the face of the former director Bihai was still calm and indifferent, everyone who personally participated in the hunting operation on a rainy night dozens of days ago was holding back in his heart. There was a fire.

It was a prisoner from the empire, only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he set foot on this planet for the first time, completely ignorant of the buildings and streets of this city, where he could go, and how he was hunted by professional hunters all over the sky. Under the big net, he fled majestically without a trace!

Even if he planned to escape that night, how did he manage to disappear like water vapor in summer, cleanly and without leaving a trace in the next month or so?
