For a long time, Sun Xiuqing had a question, if the time machine can't transport * life, then how did she come to this world? This doubt reached its peak after the developers announced that the time machine could finally enable manned travel.

However, she never asked, as if she vaguely knew that it was a taboo, untouchable.

She had imagined a lot of answers, and she had guessed that she might one day ask the developers, or maybe the answers were ordinary, not a time machine but another way, a spaceship or something, the tool she was on. But she always remembers the first day she came to this world, the first few minutes she clearly walked through the lively streets and crowds, watched the familiar scenery fade away, and the next second she was in this strange jungle.

Whether it's a time machine or a spaceship, this shouldn't be so unaware, and there's no reason to deceive her to that extent.

So what exactly is the truth?

What Sun Xiuqing didn't expect was that the person who gave her the answer was not the developer, nor anyone else, but Ohno. When interstellar immigration became possible, and all parties discussed various grand plans with great interest, Sun Xiuqing suddenly became excited, and the courage in her blood that she had to work hard to survive was like a balloon that had been released, chirping into the air and flying, and then fluttering to the ground.

The battle she had been fighting alone all this time finally saw the end. From the moment technology enabled human beings to travel freely, she lost her only speciality, and any good person could replace her, and she did not feel much regret about it.

Ohno took the time to take her back to Treehouse Village. She didn't know why he was doing it, but she chose to go along.

Treehouse Village is no different than it was a decade ago, and the women in power are still topless with mystical patterns painted on their faces. Sun Xiuqing and Ohno brought many gifts from the new city, all kinds of tools and delicacies that had never been seen before, the children were very excited, and some of the residents showed envious expressions, but the expression of the matriarch was very ordinary, as if she had brought nothing more than a basket of black steamed buns.

The matriarch's language, Sun Xiuqing still didn't understand it. She muttered a lot, and sang a mysterious ballad with a few women around her, Sun Xiuqing asked Ohno: "What are they singing?" Ohno said, "They welcome you back." ”

At that moment, Sun Xiuqing burst into tears inexplicably, but she felt strange, she had never belonged here, at most she was a passerby, why was she welcome to "come back"?

It didn't take long for her to know the answer.

Ohno took her to a place, somewhere deep in the jungle. The air in the forest was fresh, the birds chirped, Sun Xiuqing was surprised that the depths of the jungle were not as dense and impermeable as she imagined, and they walked for a long time along the narrow forest path that might be for some kind of small animal to pass through, but they came to an open place.

If there is an aerial camera at this time, it is actually a strange open space. Tens of thousands of acres of land around this clearing are endless forests, but here they are very flat, only chest-high weeds grow wildly.

Sun Xiuqing stood on this grass, looking around inexplicably, not understanding why Ohno had brought her here. Ohno was looking for something, and there was no special movement for a long time.

Finally, in a very inconspicuous corner, Ohno found something, he shouted, Sun Xiuqing ran over, and found that he was lifting the dirt somewhere very hard. Sun Xiuqing went from being strange at the beginning, to being speechless in shock, and it was only a few seconds.

Ono struggled to lift away not the dirt, but an iron plate covered in dirt. Under the iron plate, a few steps are faintly exposed. That staircase looks very familiar, isn't it exactly the same as the base entrance of that time machine on an island in H City?

Fresh air poured into the ground, and Ohno made a torch neatly with his hands and feet, lit it and said to Sun Xiuqing, "Let's go in and have a look?" ”

Sun Xiuqing followed in a daze. Inside, there is an empty base that is twice the size of the island base in H City, and there seems to be other existence here in addition to the time machine landing facility.

Sun Xiuqing was stunned at first observing everything around her, and then suddenly came back to her senses, groped her way to the wall, and turned on a certain switch. With a few snapping sounds, the top of the base suddenly opened, revealing the blue sky of the tile.

"Welcome home." Ohno said.

Sun Xiuqing was stunned for a long time, and then muttered to him: "What do you mean, this is my house?" ”

"I later learned that when Ono brought you to Treehouse Village, it wasn't the first time we met. We had seen each other a long, long time before that, right here, when you and I were children. ”
