Interstellar: Besieged

"What's the matter?" When Chu Shuo answered the phone, there was a war ahead.If Qi Lian didn't use Ning Yao's number, he really couldn't get in.Therefore, when Chu Shuo, who was expecting to hear Ning Yao's voice, heard Qi Lian's loud voice, his voice immediately dropped 180 degrees.

At this moment, Qi Lian didn't mind Chu Shuo's tone at all, and told about Ye Shuhe like peas pouring out of a bamboo tube.He also has his own considerations, it would be embarrassing for Ning Yao to say this, so he might as well do it for him.In the end, Chu Shuo asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"

"What's your reaction? Can you be a little excited?! Do you still have the most basic human emotions!"

"Aren't you pregnant? Is it okay to be so excited?" He said a long sentence to Qi Lian, the meaning of which was almost the same as what Ning Yao just said, and extinguished the flames around Qi Lian with a snap.

"I want you to take care of it!" Qi Lian was furious, and he wanted to hang up the phone when he replied angrily and arrogantly, but he couldn't be reconciled after thinking about it, so he said another cruel sentence, "I want to abduct Ning Yao, you wait Be a widow!"

After the harsh words, Qi Lian finally felt a little better, and when he turned around, he saw Ning Yao who was lying on the blanket eating Qi Lian's cherries and said slowly: "Their family is like this, the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry." , so I wasn’t in a hurry to tell him the news just now.”

With a full face, Young Master Qi grabbed a handful of pitted cherries and stuffed them into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "I've run out of friends... I can't be friends happily anymore..."

With Qi Lian's stroke, there was only one bottom left of the cherry in the bowl.Chu Chaochao's little friend suddenly became anxious, so he crawled over quickly with his buttocks pouted, dragged the bowl and left, when Qi Lian tried to reach for it again, he only caught a handful of hairs, where are the cherries?Where is the bowl?

Looking around, he saw that Zhao Zhao was actively feeding his dear father and younger brother.Of course, he himself is indispensable.

Qi Lian was breathless on the blanket.

At this time, Ning Yao received a text message on his terminal, Ning Yao picked it up and looked at it, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

Chu Shuo: Don't worry about it, just let it go.

In the next few days, Ning Yao was preparing for the jumping experiment, and the Academy of Sciences and the Military Intelligence Department ran at both ends.According to the preliminary plan, they will go to the jump point to conduct experiments on March 25.As the date approached day by day, Ning Yao became more and more worried about the resistance from Barcelona and other countries.

The news that Shaar is looking for Shangstop is open and transparent. How could countries like Barcelona, ​​which once forced Shangstop to cooperate with them, forget what Shangstop has in hand.That is the key to the new world, no one will not be tempted.This is an extremely important bargaining chip, in the hands of different people, it will bring different futures, Ning Yao must not let it slip away from Shaar's hands.

But Wen Xuchu revealed another thing to Ning Yao at this time, about Suo Lan's condition.

"Suo Lan, like Song Xia, is waiting for Shang to come back to save their lives. Arthur values ​​this friend very much, and he will never give up this possibility easily, and his purpose is actually somewhat similar to yours. So, you don't need to go too far Worried about Lando and Barcelona."

The fact is, as Wen Xuchu said, Xia Ya grasped this jumping point, which was exactly what Arthur was happy to see.

Arthur is slowly accumulating his prestige in the army, but currently his prestige is not enough to shake the position of the old emperor.If Barcelona grabs this jumping point, there will only be one ending - the Barcelona family dominates, and the old emperor will not let go of any opportunity for Barcelona to dominate.

But excessive ambition can also bring about self-destruction. If Basel really does this, there will really be an epic battle with Char, which will be several times more serious than the current battle.Fortunately, the jumping point was at the Landu border instead of the Barcelona border. Arthur and Solan could still control one or two, secretly pushing Shaar.

But Arthur didn't help Shaar for no reason. He let Solan contact Wen Xuchu, and then used Wen Xuchu as a bridge to complete an air-to-air dialogue with Ning Yao.The content of the conversation was kept secret throughout. On Arthur’s side, only he and Solan knew about it. On Xia’s side, Ning Yao only told Chu Shuo, and then went to Ming Palace to talk to Emperor Xia, Chu Shuo, etc. Chen and Li Sheng discussed it.

As for Suo Lan's poisoning, Ning Yao kept it a secret for the time being and did not tell Qi Lian that her fetal gas was unstable in the first three months, so she decided to wait until she found Shang Ting before making any plans.

On March 25th, the experimental team quietly set off from Chiba City, traveled to the border of Char, and then left by boat from the border airport.Because of everyone's opposition, Ning Yao was removed from the experimental team.Chu Chen put Chao Zhao Mu Mu next to Ning Yao, and let the two little milk babies watch over him 24 hours a day, and Ning Yao had nothing to say.

On March 28, the ship successfully arrived at the target star field and rendezvoused with Wen Xuchu.The people who accompanied Wen Xuchu were Iriana and Cardinal, a big edelweiss, it seemed that only the three of them were left in the end.

Iliana and Cardinal didn't follow Wen Xuchu on Shaar's experimental ship, but watched him leave and waited in place.

On that day, Barcelona and other countries secretly sent ships to the location of the jumping point. They did not know the exact location, but firmly believed that they could always find it by searching every inch.But I don't know why, some fleets encountered pirates blocking the way halfway through, and the two sides exchanged fire, directly missing the opportunity.And some fleets even got lost directly, and the interstellar navigation map was completely wrong, so they had to notify the Lando Marine Police to go to the rescue.

In the interstellar sea, there is no distinction between day and night, time freezes here, and there will always be silence.After Char's experimental ship arrived, it first conducted some surveys, and after about two hours, it began to try to jump.Qi Yan was also in the team, and because of Ning Yao's prior instructions, none of them expressed any opinion on Wen Xuchu, an outsider.

The jump started, all the engines of the ship were turned off, and everyone waited silently in the darkness, nervously and tormentedly waiting for the final judgment.

Pass?or not?

Will they witness a miracle, or be engulfed in this darkness?

Time passed extremely slowly, and the ticking of the hour and second hands made people even more anxious. Five minutes was short but long. When the light returned to their eyes, a feeling of rebirth spread through their limbs, and some people even moistened their eye sockets.

Outside the porthole is a vast and boundless star field, and in the distance there is a bright belt of stars winding like a soaring dragon.

They did it!It worked!

Qi Yan leaned on the porthole excitedly and looked at the scenery outside, it was so beautiful and silent, he never felt that this dull star field was so beautiful.But Wen Xuchu has already rushed to the main control room, "Quick! Radar scan!"

Qi Yan came back to his senses, and only then remembered an important goal of their trip - to find a business stop.

The people in the main control room did not dare to be negligent, and immediately turned on the radar to scan again and again, and the ship also searched carefully around the exit of the jump point, trying not to miss any corner.But no, still no, after searching for a whole hour, nothing!

"Impossible!" Wen Xuchu's face was so gloomy that water could drip, "Keep looking!"

Under the boss's power, everyone subconsciously obeyed his words, Qi Yan also felt puzzled, where did Ning Yao find such a person, it was scary.

So, what followed was nearly three hours of searching.Qi Yan could feel that the person's aura was becoming more and more unstable, and his expression was always cloudy, like a beast on the verge of going berserk.No, it is not appropriate to say that it is a runaway, it should be between a crash and a runaway.

The atmosphere on the experimental ship became extremely stiff because of the warmth, and when everyone was a little disheartened, suddenly, the radar detector let out a burst of cheerful beeping.

"Found it! Coordinates 211·154·36!"

A burst of cheers broke out suddenly, and Wen Xuchu raised his head suddenly, a ray of hope burst out in his eyes.He pushed away the others, put his hands on the radar detector, stared at the red dot that was still spreading the halo, and confirmed it over and over again.

Found it, really found it, after 14 years, he finally found him!

The test boat quickly turned its bow and headed towards that coordinate with full power.Within 15 minutes, they found their target.

A dilapidated ship is moored quietly in the vast star field, as old as an abandoned ship parked in a dock.It floats alone like this, no one knows, and no one patronizes. One year, two years, three years, many years have passed, and only the frozen time has accompanied it.

After 14 years, the old man finally visited.The old cabin door opened again, and in the dark cabin, there was only one place emitting a bright light.

It was a transparent nutrition box, and the same transparent but fluorescent liquid wrapped a person. He folded his hands on his chest, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully, with his eyes closed, and his long silver-white hair floating in the water. It's so unreal.

Through the glass, Wen Xuchu traced his face with trembling fingertips. At this moment, her mood was like returning to the age when she fell in love for the first time at the age of ten, and she was so excited that she couldn't restrain herself.The fiery feelings returned to the chest cavity and gushed out.

At this time, sensing the arrival of outsiders, the energy lights in the main control room of the spacecraft entered the automatic wake-up procedure, and the light tubes lit up one by one, which also brought a sound that had not been heard for many years.

"Hello, please don't panic when you hear my voice. This is just a recording. My name is Shang Ting, and I am from the jump point. Because I encountered a space storm during the jump, the main engine of the spaceship was severely damaged, so I had to Forced to stop here. If you can hear this recording, you must have seen me too.

Because the energy of the spaceship was insufficient, I couldn't leave, so I had to lie down in the nutrition box and put myself into a dormant state, waiting for someone to find me.I don't know how much time has passed, but no matter how many years in the star calendar it is now, and which side you are from, I implore you to help me fulfill a small wish.

If I am still alive, please wake me up immediately; if I am dead after waiting for a long time, then please take my ashes back.Go through that jump point to 23 Lando Seran Street, where someone is still waiting for me.If he is gone, please go to Shaar to find someone named Ning Yao, he is my student, you can give him my ashes, and then ask him to help find someone, his name is Wen Xuchu ..."

The recording was very long, and in the second half, Shang Ting explained some funeral affairs piecemeal, and finished all his medical achievements that had not yet been published in the future.

It was too late for Wen Xuchu to listen to the entire recording. He hastily turned off the main power supply of the nutrition box, turned it on, reached out and picked up the person who had been lost for 14 years from the water, and hugged him tightly. In his arms, "Shang Stop... Shang Stop..." murmured his name.

Seeing his expression at the moment, Qi Yan couldn't bear to step forward to disturb him. He glanced at the energy indicator on the nutrition box, only to be surprised to find that the remaining energy could only last for half a month.In other words, maybe they came a few days later, and Shang Ting would really die as he said, because he couldn't make up for the long wait and died quietly.

"Cough...cough..." Maybe he heard Wen Xuchu's call, Shang Ting slowly woke up from his self-sleep, but he slept for too long, his head was still a little groggy, and the world he saw was also hazy Dimly, he could only vaguely feel that someone was hugging him tightly.

who?Who is calling me?

He tried his best to open his eyes wide to see, but he couldn't lift his hands due to lack of strength.It didn't take long before his vision gradually became clear. The person in front of him looked familiar, but there was a touch of unfamiliar wind and frost in his brows.

Wen Xu looked at him intently, and the moment he saw the person in his arms slowly opening his eyes, and the long eyelashes shaking off the water, his heart seemed to stop beating.But the strangeness in Shang Ting's eyes sent him back to the dark hell in an instant. He remembered the time that had passed, yes, after so long, Shang Ting maintained his original appearance because of his dormancy, but he Already the temples are getting whiter.

The most beautiful is nothing but time, and the most painful is nothing but time.

At this moment, he was so cowardly that he didn't even have the courage to say who he was.

But Shang Ting lifted his hand that had just regained a little strength to caress his cheek, with the same gentle smile on his face as before, "Ah... Chu?"

"Yes, I'm...I'm..." Wen Xuchu was startled, her eyes were reddish, she tightly grasped the hand he put on her cheek, her voice choked with sobs.The boss who manipulated all life and death behind the scenes seemed to disappear at this moment.

Looking at this scene, Qi Yan felt inexplicably sad, sighed in his heart, turned around and said to the people behind: "Get ready to return."

On March 29th, the news of the test ship's smooth return was sent back to Chiba City, but there was another news that followed - on the way back to Shaar, Wen Xuchu and Shang Ding disappeared!

Ning Yao's face changed suddenly after hearing the news, he was sure that Wen Xuchu must have taken Shang Ting away.This person is really untrustworthy, but it's all about this, what else does he want to do? !

Ning Yao immediately mobilized the entire Military Intelligence Department to search for the whereabouts of the two of them. Arthur received the news and immediately set out to find them.But when two people plunged into the vast interstellar sea, they couldn't even stir up a single wave, so it was so difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

No, there are clues!Ning Yao quickly thought of the address mentioned in the recording of the business stop - No. 23 Landu Seran Street.

At this time, No. 23 Seren Street was still peaceful.

This single-family three-storey building looks like it has been around for some years. Usually, no one lives there, but it is well maintained.The neighbors on the street have been guessing who the owner of the small building is. Since they don't live there, why do they maintain the small building so well?

There are also some old people living on the street, and some of them can still remember the scene more than ten years ago.They will tell their children and grandchildren that in that small building, there used to be a very good-looking and kind-hearted doctor who would often walk around the streets with a medical kit to give them free consultations.In the orphanage on the east side of the street, there was a child who had smallpox and he cured him.

I just don't know why, but the doctor disappeared after living there for half a year without leaving a message.The little assistant who has been with the doctor is still there, standing at the door every day in winter and waiting, no one listens to persuasion, it looks so distressing.

Later, the little assistant disappeared, and no one lived in the small building again.

On this day, the grandsons of the old people ran back bluffing and told them that there were new residents in the small building.They still didn't believe it, so they leaned on crutches and went to look, only to find that it was true. There were two figures snuggling together by the window of the attic.

Is that doctor back?

A child couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, you always say that the doctor is so good-looking, what does he look like?"

In fact, grandpa doesn't remember that person's appearance very much. After all, he is old, his memory is not good, and too much time has passed. "It's good to be good-looking anyway! Why are you so stupid."

After the old man finished speaking, he pointed to the small building and told his grandson, "It's okay, don't make trouble for others, you know? Don't scare people away when you have a new neighbor. You ask your mother to go back and make some food for others. , say hello."

The child agreed, but was delayed because of something, so he came to the door with food on the third day.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out to answer the door. Just as he was about to leave, the door opened from the inside again, and someone asked, "Little brother, are you okay?"

When the child followed the sound, he was stunned, and he looked really good-looking!And his hair is actually white!

Seeing the child in a daze, Shang Ting smiled and patted his head, "What's wrong?"

"I, I'm here to bring you food. My mother made it..." The child was a little embarrassed for no reason, and his voice became smaller and smaller. After putting the basket on the ground, he ran away.

He wants to go back and tell his friends that a big beautiful brother with white hair lives in the small building!Really good looking!And the voice is very soft!

Shang Ting looked at the back of Juechen going away, some monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, as if there were always people like this in the past, he ran away while talking, is he so scary?

Shang Ting was leaning on the doorframe with his coat on, tilting his head and wondering what to do. At this moment, a hand stretched out from behind and led him into the door, "He's not well yet, why did he come out again?"

"Ah, Ah Chu," Shang Ting looked back at him, and said happily, "Someone brought us food."

Wen Xuchu glanced at the basket on the ground, leaned over to pick it up, then took Shang Ting's hand and walked in, "It's cold outside, let's go in first, what do you want to eat today? There are still many things to cook in the refrigerator .”

"I want to eat crab roe buns and glutinous rice rolls. What did you make yesterday? The crunchy ones are so delicious..." Shang Ting said as he walked, occasionally seeing Wen Xuchu's tall figure beside him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart , when he was asleep, Ah Chu had already grown so big.

At dinner, Wen Xuchu set up a table of dishes according to the names of the dishes reported by the merchants, but when he was only halfway through the meal, Wen Xuchu's expression changed immediately when he answered the phone.He rushed back to the room eagerly to pick up the suitcase, then ran to the living room and held Shang Ting's hand, saying, "Let's go, get out of here immediately!"

"Why, why?" Shang Ting didn't know what he was anxious about, and his wrist hurt a little from his grip.

Wen Xuchu didn't explain, he couldn't explain anything, and he didn't know how to talk to Shang Ding about everything in the past 14 years.He just held him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would refuse in the next second, and begged him, "Please, come with me, okay?"

Shang stopped for a moment, but finally nodded.

Wen Xuchu smiled happily, took the coat and wrapped it around the shop, and pulled the people out of the small building as quickly as possible.The dishes on the table were still steaming, and the bowls and chopsticks were still neatly arranged. The children who had gone back and forth brought a large group of friends to see the beauty brother. After exploring the window of the wall for a long time, they found that there seemed to be no one inside. .

Constantly moving and hiding, the business seems to have returned to the time when he left Seren Street.Everything was the same as before, and he didn't sleep for those 14 years at all. The only difference was that Ah Chu followed him before, but now he ran behind Ah Chu.

The two finally tossed and turned for more than half a month, and returned to the house on Hualing Street in Xueyuan Country.

The weather is getting warmer, and when business stops, I often sit in the courtyard wrapped in a coat, sitting in front of the white round table as before, writing something with a pen.Wen Xuchu sat beside him and set up a small red clay stove to make tea, and the time passed all afternoon.

Shang Ting always felt that Wen Xuchu had buried many things in his heart, including the reason why he took him around to hide.He thought about asking, but every time he met his pleading eyes, Shang Ting seemed to see Ah Chu who was standing at the gate of No. 14 Seran Street begging him to take him with him 23 years ago.How can you hurt him a second time after hurting him once?

Shang Ting still didn't know what happened outside, and Wen Xuchu kept silent.For him, every minute and every second now is precious, and he doesn't want to waste any second of time talking about things outside.

Or rather, he was afraid.

Like walking on thin ice, he doesn't know when the ice will break.Ning Yao is right, Shang Ting is such a clean person, if he knew what he did, would he still follow him around like this without asking why?

Just because he knew the answer, Wen Xuchu cherished this stolen time very much.Even if you don't sleep every day, you have to watch him all the time.

On April [-]th, more than half a month had passed since the experiment was successful.In the small courtyard on Hualing Street, the first guest was finally ushered in.

The tea was already boiling, and the puffing steam was wanton, but no one paid any attention to it.Wen Xu first looked at the gate of the courtyard, and the moment Ning Yao gently pushed his hands away to reach the fence, it meant the end.

Shang Ting looked up and saw Ning Yao, his eyes were full of surprise, "Xiao Yao!"

Hearing that familiar voice and looking at that familiar face, Ning Yao's throat felt a little constricted.Uncle Shang, I finally...found you.
