Chapter 385: The Natives of the Lea Islands
The Far Continent, on deck.
Ling Zhou looked at Mi Lan with curiosity in his heart.
These days, it seems that it is the first time that Mi Lanzhu has asked him for help, which is really a bit surprising.
He felt that Mi Lan was not the kind of person who would ask for help easily.
"That's right. ”
Mi Lan blushed a little, and said slightly embarrassed: "Just now, I received a call from home. My cousin had some conflicts with the family and ran away from home in a fit of rage. Because she knew that I was working in Hong Kong, she hid it from her family, stole the family's household registration book, secretly applied for a Hong Kong and Macao permit, and went to Hong Kong. However, I am now in Lanling, and there is not much money left for her to buy a plane ticket. My uncle and aunt also didn't have a Hong Kong and Macau permit, and they can't go to Hong Kong to pick her up now. When the pass is processed, it will take many days. We don't have any relatives or friends in Hong Kong......"
As she spoke, she couldn't go on anymore.
She really didn't want to talk to Ling Zhou.
But there is no way, you can't let your cousin live on the streets in Hong Kong, right?
A girl's family, that's dangerous.
And she understands her cousin's character, in Hong Kong, she may not cause any trouble.
If it was before, she would have asked Sun Yu for help. But now, she really doesn't know how to face Sun Yu. The hurdle in her heart has not been solved. So after hesitating for a long time, she still opened her mouth to Ling Zhou.
When Ling Zhou heard this, he was a little speechless.
Looks like a rebellious girl again?
Running away without a word, and running to Hong Kong, isn't this rebellion?
"Didn't she contact you before she went to Hong Kong?"
Ling Zhou asked in confusion.
If you know that Mi Lan is not in Hong Kong, then the girl is still running to Hong Kong, where her eyes are black and helpless, it will be a bit stupid.
In a fit of rage, she bought a ticket directly and flew to Hong Kong. She contacted me after getting off the plane, and she's still at the airport. ”
Mi Lan said with a sigh.
Ling Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, pass your cousin's name and photo to Sister Yiru together." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to Chen Yiru and instructed, "Sister Yiru, notify the Hong Kong Embassy and ask them to send someone to the airport." ”
"Yes. ”
Chen Yiru answered and dialed a phone.
"By the way, how do you arrange to pick up your cousin? stay in Hong Kong, or send her home directly?"
Ling Zhou asked Mi Lan again.
"Just send her home. ”
Mi Lan hesitated and said.
Ling Zhou nodded and looked at Chen Yiru on the side.
Chen Yi had also dialed the phone number of the Hong Kong embassy at this time.
In order to facilitate the exchange between Lanling and Hong Kong, in the 80s of the last world, Lanling established diplomatic relations with Hong Kong, and had close contacts and many trade cooperation.
"Thank you, Your Highness. ”
Mi Lan bowed down heartily and thanked him.
"Okay, don't be so polite. ”
Ling Zhou reached out and helped her up.
To him, this matter is just a trivial matter, a matter of one sentence, it is nothing.
Mi Lan nodded, although what Ling Zhou said was nothing, she remembered it in her heart.
Many things are indeed nothing to Ling Zhou, who is a prince.
But for civilians, that's a great favor.
Otherwise, with her ability, her cousin must have ended up living on the streets these days. For my cousin, who has just entered college and has no means of social survival, it is indeed difficult to survive when she leaves home.
It's not that she underestimates her sister, it's true.
She knew the cousin too well.
Afterwards, Ling Zhou and Mi Lan sat down, chatting and looking at the distant Lea Islands.
At this time, Mi Lan's mobile phone rang.
Picking it up and looking at it, Mi Lan frowned rarely. Shaking his head helplessly, he answered the phone. As soon as the phone was connected, a delicate voice came from inside.
"Cousin, where are you? I don't want to go home, tell the person who picked me up, let them send me to you!"
Listening to the voice on the phone, Mi Lan said: "I'm not in Hong Kong, didn't I tell you before? The person who picked you up is my friend, and I don't have time to go over now." Linlin is obedient, go home with them, the second uncle and aunt are in a hurry now, don't be so willful. ”
Mi Lan said in a soft tone.
She has had a good relationship with this cousin since she was a child, as if she was a sister, so although she was helpless, although she was angry with her cousin's willfulness, she couldn't be tough in tone.
"Don't, sister, I miss you, I'm going to find you, you won't leave me alone. ”
On the phone, Mi Lin cried and shouted aggrievedly.
Mi Lan frowned and said, "I'm abroad, what do you say?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and asked, "Are you in Lanling?"
Mi Lan was stunned, she didn't seem to tell her cousin about her position, nor did she say anything about her situation. Except for her parents, few people knew that she was about to work in Lanling for three or five years.
"Don't lie to me, these people who picked me up are the people from the Lanling Embassy. ”
On the other end of the phone, Mi Lin shouted slyly: "Good cousin, you tell them and let me go to Lanling too." ”
Mi Lan frowned, this cousin was getting more and more disagreeable.
She shook her head and said, "I'm here for work, so I don't have time to spend with you." And even if you come, you won't be able to see me, so you might as well go home. ”
She came to Lanling for the 'genetic evolution' project of the trilateral cooperation. Moreover, the Leah Islands were far away from the capital of Lan Ling, so she didn't have time to take care of this cousin.
"Don't, sister, help me tell my parents! Just say I'm okay, everything is fine. Sister, since you are in Lanling, employment will pick me up and go to Lanlingbei! The first concert of Sister Xiuxiu's Asian tour is in Lanling. I'm going to see Sister Xiuxiu's concert! Sister, you just let me go! Don't worry, I won't disturb your work. ”
Mi Lin said with a grin.
Mi Lan frowned, embarrassed.
"If your cousin really wants to come, then take her. I'll arrange for someone to take care of her. After Qu Xiu's concert is over, let her follow Qu Xiu back to China. ”
Ling Zhou glanced at Mi Lan from the side and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mi Lan looked at Ling Zhou gratefully, covered the microphone, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
She didn't dare to let this cousin know that she had contact with Prince Lan Ling, otherwise this pampered and willful cousin might not cause any trouble.
Ling Zhou shook his head, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip of red wine.
"Sister, who is over there! It's still a man, isn't it Jian Chen? And the people from the Lanling Embassy, did he also arrange it? Could he be the legendary Lanling wealthy family? Wow! Cousin, you are so powerful. ”
On the other end of the phone, although Mi Lin didn't hear Mi Lan shouting His Royal Highness Ling Zhou, she also vaguely heard Ling Zhou's voice, and her gossip heart suddenly burst.
Mi Lan frowned, could she say that the so-called Lan Ling wealthy family didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Ling Zhou?
She didn't bother to explain to her cousin, so she hurriedly said something and hung up the phone.
"Miran, after arriving in the Lea Islands, it is not convenient to contact the outside world. It is best to arrange all the things that should be arranged, so as to avoid worries. If you need help, just ask. ”
Seeing that Mi Lan hung up the phone, Ling Zhou looked at the black dots that were approaching in the distance and said.
The project that Mi Lan wants to participate in is a confidential project, and he must not be able to contact the outside world at will.
"Well, everything that should be arranged, it's all arranged. ”
Mi Lan nodded, then rubbed her eyebrows in distress, and said with a wry smile: "Mi Lin was an accident. ”
Ling Zhou shook his head and did not speak.
Mi Lan glanced at Ling Zhou and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so she stopped what she was about to say.
As time passed, the dark shadow in the distance got closer and closer.
Soon, the cruise ship was approaching a small island.
This is the Leah Archipelago, the outermost island, and the smallest island in the entire Lea Archipelago. On this island, at least the mechanical products can be used normally.
In some places, you can also connect to the Internet by phone.
At this time, a temporary pier on the island was full of people. Most of these people are from the Lanling military, and there are more than 10 old people with gray hair, and these old people are biological experts from Lan, China, and the United Kingdom.
"Your Royal Highness. ”
Walking down the dock, a group of Lanling soldiers saluted in unison.
More than 10 other veteran experts also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Ling Zhou greeted them one by one with great grace.
"Your Highness Zhou, Miss Mi, you can be regarded as coming, and we are all grateful for the flowers. ”
An old man in his 60s laughed.
Several other old men also smiled and greeted Ling Zhou and Mi Lan.
Among these old experts, none of them underestimated Bei Lan.
Because of Mi Lan's ability, when he was in Lan Ling's capital, he had completely conquered these old experts.
These people are all real scholars and highly respected, but they will not look down on Mi Lan because he is young.
On the contrary, they all value Mi Lan very much.
Of course, in the capital of Lanling, when they first met Mi Lan, they were still a little underestimated, after all, Mi Lan was too young, just a college student who had just walked out of school, and not a graduate student.
However, after Mi Lan showed his ability, they quickly accepted it, and willingly circled around Mi Lan.
This shows the bearing of these old scholars.
If you put it on some "experts" who are not worthy of the name, you will only feel slapped in the face by Mi Lan, and you will only feel embarrassed.
After a few pleasantries, the group walked towards a brand-new villa on the island. This is a newly built villa during this time, and the smell of paint has not yet dried, but the inside has been decorated and all kinds of facilities are complete.
There is a generator on the island, so although it is on a deserted island, there is no need to worry about running out of electricity.
Walking into the villa, Ling Zhou said: "Mi Lan has just arrived, she is tired all the way, and she will rest for two days, just take advantage of these two days to familiarize herself with the environment." ”
"It's nature. ”
Lanling's local experts responded one after another.
These experts, though, wanted to take Mi Lan to the lab immediately. But since His Royal Highness the Prince has said so, he naturally can't be forced.
As for several experts from Huaxia and the United Kingdom, they glanced at each other, hesitated, stopped what they were about to say, and nodded one after another.
Although they are from China, England. But Prince Lan Ling's proposal, they couldn't ignore it either.
Ling Zhou smiled, and then chatted with everyone.
After chatting for a while, everyone got up and said goodbye.
Soon, these veteran experts, who had worked hard for the cause of research all their lives, got up and said goodbye.
Soon, in the huge villa hall, there were Ling Zhou, Mi Lan, Chen Yiru, and Xiaolian, Xiao Yan and other servants left. There is also the commander-in-chief of the Lan Ling military in the Lea Islands - Red.
"Commander Red, tell me about the Leah Islands. ”
Ling Zhou leaned back on the sofa and asked Commander Red.
The ancestor of this commander is German, and in the early days of the founding of Lanling, his family fled to the kingdom of Lanling, and later completely immigrated to Lanling.
After years of mixed-race assimilation, the German blood has long been thin and can no longer be thin.
In Rhett's generation, his appearance is more oriental.
In Lanling, the government's approach to these immigrants is marriage and assimilation. Let them go from immigrants to completely become Lanling people. Many second-generation immigrants begin to develop their loyalty to the country from an early age.
"Your Highness. ”
Commander Red bent down deeply and said, "Although the outside world says that the Leah Islands are unsuitable for human habitation, and there are no human beings here, this is not the case. Deep in the archipelago, on individual islands, there are still indigenous people. Because of the magnetic field, they are isolated from the rest of the world. Whether it is land cultivation or other aspects, it is very primitive. According to statistics, these indigenous people are about 6,000 people, spread across nine islands, and they live in a tribal way. ”
"Oh!"
When Ling Zhou heard this, he sighed and asked suspiciously, "How did the previous government of the Blazing Kingdom arrange these people?"
Commander Red shook his head and said, "Your Highness, these people have actually been abandoned by the Blazing Government a long time ago, and they are left to fend for themselves. It is even forbidden for these people to leave the Lea Islands, and once any of the natives leave the range of the islands, they will be killed by the Blazing State. This is also the reason why it is rumored that this place is not suitable for human life, and there is no human existence. Because of the blockade of the Blazing Government, the outside world doesn't know that there are still about 6,000 people in the world."
Hearing this, Ling Zhou shook his head.
That Miki monarch is also cold-blooded enough, and there are thousands of people in the territory, and he will give up when he says to give up.
Immediately, he frowned and said, "Although these people are backward, they are not useless, right? Why did the Blazing Kingdom give up on these people? Is there any other reason for this?"
Hearing this, Commander Red nodded, and said: "Your Highness is right, there are indeed some reasons, that is, the natives in the archipelago generally do not live longer than 40 years old, and many people in their 30s, or even 20s, will die of natural causes." ”
When Ling Zhou heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, his lifespan will not exceed 40 years old?
You must know that the human life expectancy is generally 70 or 80, and the long-lived can even live to 90 or 100 years old.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this world, he had heard of many long-lived people.
I remember that there was an old man who fought the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life, and he lived for more than 110 years.
But it is unbelievable that people living in the Leah Islands cannot live past the age of 40.
