Chapter 11: First Mission (2)

"If there was a voice that could tap through all the noise of the world and tap directly on your heart, would you answer?"

My answer is: I will. Because the human heart is always the most sensitive, even if the outside world is very noisy, if you listen with your heart, you will hear and feel it most clearly. At the same time, it is also because in this world, the resonance of the heart is often the most difficult to resist - no matter how strong a person you are, as long as the string in your heart moves, your heart will become "vulnerable"; no matter how optimistic you are, as long as the string in your heart is broken, your heart will really be vulnerable. So no matter what, the human heart is always sensitive and fragile.

To be honest, I wasn't shocked by their intelligent machines these days in Lazy Town, at most I was just amazed by their bold ideas about life. But if it were me, I didn't want everything around me to be a machine, and a machine that could read my thoughts, I absolutely wouldn't. However, there is one thing that surprises me in town, and that is the "Heart Bell" that everyone here has.

The bell is made from the unique metal mineral found in the vicinity of Lazy Town, the "Heartstone", which is collected and forged into different shapes by craftsmen according to their individual needs. Because everyone's heart bell is different, the heart bell has also become a tool for the town's residents to identify their identity. The heart bell on Lao Xu's hand is a cylinder the size of an index finger, with a lotus flower carved on it and a Xu character engraved at the bottom. He hadn't taken out Mo Qingyan's, so I don't know what he looks like. But why is it called a heart bell? That's because whenever someone strikes it, the sound made by the heart stone is very similar to a crisp wind chime, which is very beautiful, so the people of Lazy Town naturally call this personal thing a heart bell. Moreover, the heart bell has a characteristic, that is, the sound it makes can only be heard by its owner and the person who strikes it, if you are not the person who rings the bell, even if you are close to it, you will not hear a single sound. If someone rings on your heart-warming bell, no matter how far away, no matter whether the outside world is noisy or roaring, its crisp sound like a wind chime will be transmitted to your ears without deviation, and it will blow through your heart like a spring breeze and rain.

However, although the heartbell has the effect of separating everything from the ear, the townspeople rarely set foot in the world outside the town, so they often hang the heartbell on their doors and use it as a doorbell. If someone visits, all they need to do is touch the bell, and the owner of the house can hear what they are doing, and they will naturally come out to answer the door. Because of this, they will also call it a "little doorbell".

However, Lao Xu said that since a long time ago, there has been a prophecy in the town that "the bell rings, the end of good and evil", and the prophecy says that there is a person whose heart-warming bell has a mysterious power, which can make the sound of the heart-warming bell resound throughout the earth, and at the moment when the bell rings, there is no good or evil in the world, and everything escapes into the void. However, no one in the town had ever witnessed such a powerful power of Fu Xin Ling, so it gradually stopped mentioning it.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

The ringing of the heartbell gently touched my heart, and my heart felt a tingling feeling, which made me feel a little weak at that moment. According to the plan, I turned into Aunt Xue, carefully walked all the way through the streets and alleys of Lazy Town, came to the door of a house, gently knocked the heart-warming bell hanging on the eaves with my fingers, and patiently waited for the owner to appear.

After a while, the door was finally opened, and a young man came out lazily, his hair disheveled like a bird's nest, disheveled, and he looked like he had just woken up, and he didn't look like a "mechanic" at all. He slowly raised his head to look at me, then rubbed his eyes with both hands, stared at me several times with wide eyes, and then cried out "Ah", then spat on his hand and wiped his head a few times, patted his face, straightened his shirt, and straightened his pants.

The person in front of him, whose name is Gu Chengzi, is the "mechanic" in the mouths of Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu, and according to them, he is the only one who has the ability to crack the intelligent mechanical defense system made by laziness. At the beginning of Lazy's rebuilding of Lazy Town, he did crack it a few times and made a great contribution to their departure from the town, but with Lazy's upgrade of the intelligent mechanical defense system, he never cracked it again, and unfortunately, not long after they left, he was captured by Lazy, and when he was put back, although his face was still the same, he became ignorant of things like coding and cracking. They had been looking for an opportunity to take him away, but Fleur felt that it was useless to bring him back, and it wasn't until I showed up that they realized that they needed someone who could get inside the Lazy Defense System, and as long as I took control of the machines again, and they found the key points to control the machines, then they could break the situation of Lazy controlling the townsfolk with machines. Gu Chengzi looked at me blankly and said cautiously and nervously.

"Aunt Xue, you ...... Why did you come here all of a sudden, it scared me. ”

I looked at his appearance, and suddenly felt a little funny, because I wasn't really Aunt Xue, and he was so respectful, I couldn't help but sigh that Aunt Xue's posture was quite big.

"It's okay, I'm here today to exchange something with you. Come ~ this one to you. This is the clothes made for you. ”

"Wow, Aunt Xue, the clothes you made are really exquisite, please come in and sit down. This way...... Right...... Please sit down, Aunt Xue, wait a minute, I'll do it for you. ”

"Okay, there you go. ”

The intelligent machinery of Lazy Town is very developed, but in the economy, it still follows the law of barter, which is very primitive. I handed him a set of men's clothes made by Aunt Xue, and he immediately walked back to the workshop. After a few minutes, I saw him come out with a few pancakes, which were still steaming.

"Aunt Xue, here are seven pancakes for you, two of which I gave you. I have to say, Aunt Xue, the clothes you made really look exquisite and comfortable to wear, and I haven't changed into new clothes for a long time. ”

"Thank you, lad. But I'm here today not just to exchange these pancakes with you. I...... I'll just get to the point. Are you convenient now?

"Oh, Aunt Xue, it's a coincidence that you came, I just came out, and you saw it. Scold...... Hehe. ”

"Is it convenient for you now? Can you come with me?"

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient!"

"Very good, lad, then you come with me now. ”

"Now?!, are you going now?" he stared at me with wide eyes.

"Well, yes, right now. ”

"Hmm...... Okay, since it's Aunt Xue's order, then I can't shirk it, Aunt Xue, you sit here for a while, and I'll go back to my room and change a set of clothes. ”

"Okay, you hurry up. ”

As soon as he left, I sat down, Aunt Xue's elegance and gentleness really didn't suit me, so I sat upright for a few minutes, my back was already sore, and my legs couldn't help shaking, I really hoped he could come out slowly. He pounded inside for dozens of minutes before coming out, and sure enough, he changed his outfit and looked much more pleasing to the eye. In the past few tens of minutes, he cleaned up his messy hair, changed into the clothes that Aunt Xue had just made, it fit well, shaved the stubble off his face, and now he looked a bit of a mechanic.

"Alright, I've got it. Aunt Xue, where are we going now? Are we going to be lazy?"

"Lazy? Of course not, go to my house. ”

"Huh, go to your house?!"

"Yes, I have a few new clothes, and I don't know which one you like, so I have to trouble you to come and choose one. ”

"Ahh You send someone to carry a letter later, and I'll be able to go there right away. ”

"It's okay, Aunt Xue's body is okay, it's okay to walk around more. Can we go now?"

"Yes, Aunt Xue, we can go. ”

"Hey, young man, remember to grab your heartbell. ”

"Okay, Aunt Xue. ”

Along the way, we walked carefully, and in order to maintain Aunt Xue's gait, I had to hold back my strength and walk tirelessly and painfully. As we walked, I never expected a group of patrolling guards in the distance, there were about a dozen of them, and as we walked step by step, they got closer and closer, and my breathing and heartbeat became more and more rapid. It's closer...... It's closer. Suddenly, they stopped and stood in a row facing the direction I was coming. Suddenly, the leader stepped forward and stopped me, and said to me very seriously.

"Aunt Xue, why did you come out?"

"I ...... I ...... "I was so startled by his words that I didn't know what to say for a moment.

"This person is a lazy guard leader, so you said that you went to Gu Chengzi's house to change the pancakes. Lao Xu said to me through the communicator.

"I'll go to Gu Chengzi...... Call...... Replace some pancakes and come back. I've been a bit hungry lately, haha. ”

"Aunt Xue, if you want to make pancakes, just order us directly, why bother to make such a trip yourself. ”

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and directly ordered them? Aunt Xue looks such an elegant person, and she is also in the same faction as Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu, how can she have anything to do with these people? Gu Chengzi also said that she could send him a letter? It seems that Aunt Xue's identity is not ordinary. When I was nervous in my heart, the leader turned to Gu Chengzi and asked.

"Gu Chengzi, what's the matter with you, why did you come out?"

"I'm ......" Gu Chengzi looked at the guard, then at me again, looking at a loss.

"Hehe, it's okay, I asked him to go to my house with me, I made a few new clothes, I don't know which one Xiao Gu likes, you know, I don't have anything else to do at home, so I love to do these things blindly. ”

......

The leader of the guard, the pestle, was there without saying a word, and after a moment he turned around, told his men to move on, and then spoke to me.

"Aunt Xue, there have been some illegal activities recently, and the town is not safe, so I'll escort you back. ”

"Huh...... No, don't bother you, I'll do it myself. ”

"No, it's safer for me to escort you. ”

"Just let him send you back, we'll hide it now. Lao Xu whispered through the communicator.

"That's a lot of work. ”

"No, I don't. It's our job to keep you safe. ”

Accompanied by the guard leader, I felt weaker the more I walked, and Lao Xu kept comforting me in the headphones and encouraging me to say that it was okay. I endured the panic in my heart, and spent a lot of effort to carry Aunt Xue's appearance, which was obviously not far away, but it was as difficult as a road of thousands of miles. When I finally got to the front of the house, the leader insisted that he would send me in, and I tried my best to excuse him before leaving. As soon as he turned around, I pulled Gu Chengzi and slipped into the door. I leaned on the door and listened to the leader gradually walk away, and then I brought Gu Chengzi into the house. The moment I closed the door, my whole body was liberated, and I immediately moved my body that had just tensed, and Gu Chengzi beside me saw my appearance and widened his eyes.

"Aunt Xue?"

"Oops, it really suffocated me. ”

"Ah, you're not Aunt Xue!, who are you?" he reacted and immediately took two steps back.

"Don't care who I am, they have something to tell you. You come into the house with me. ”

"Them?"

At this time, Mo Qingyan, Lao Xu, and Aunt Xue all walked out, they patted the dust on their shoulders, Lao Xu crossed his waist, grinned, and said to Gu Chengzi.

"Gu Chengzi, Gu Chengzi, long time no see, do you remember me?"

"Why are you again, how many times have I said it, I don't remember you, I don't know anything. Don't bother me. I'm just an ordinary person!" He shook off Lao Xu's hand and said angrily.

At this time, Aunt Xue walked between Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan, stepped forward and said to Gu Chengzi.

"Chengzi, you don't believe what they say. What Aunt Xue said, can you trust it?"

"Aunt Xue?huh?Are you the real Aunt Xue?!...... It's a fake!"

"Chengzi, look at me, what Aunt Xue said, can you believe it?"

"Aunt Xue, I believe everything you say. ”

"Well, Chengzi, I saw that you were delirious and failed to tell you the truth. But today I have to tell you the fact that you are one of the best mechanics in our town......"

"One of the best mechanics??"

"You are not as good as diligence and laziness, but you have been diligent in learning from them for many years, and it can be said that no one is better than you. So what they tell you is true, only you are now deprived of your memory. ”

"The best mechanic, hardworking...... Who is he? Is he very powerful? I ...... Why go with them?"

"Alas, Aunt Xue is at fault, I've always felt guilty, it's my fault, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities and let you get to where you are today! ”

"I ...... I don't want to be anything, I just want to stay in the town and be an ordinary person. ”

"Gu Chengzi, Aunt Xue's words, don't you listen to them either?"

"Aunt Xue, you must not be angry, I will listen to everything you say! But we all know what kind of person lazy is, and he will definitely blame you if I leave like this. The leader personally sent us back, and if I were gone, he would definitely ......."

"Haha, what is he sure to be? In your eyes he is bad, he is ruthless. But in my eyes he will always be just a child. He's not going to do anything to me?

"Aunt Xue! I really can't go!"

At this moment, I only heard a commotion outside the door. Mo Qingyan pulled me over alertly, and looked at Lao Xu and nodded. Mo Qingyan said very calmly.

"It's them coming. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Aunt Xue no longer persuaded Gu Chengzi, but directly pushed him over, and kept telling him to leave quickly, and warned him that if he didn't leave now, he would be blamed for laziness, and no one would be able to live. Hearing Aunt Xue say this, Gu Chengzi gave up resistance and followed us into the tunnel. Mo Qingyan walked at the forefront, followed by Gu Chengzi, and then me, behind Lao Xu's palace, the tunnel was very quiet, so you could still hear the sound outside. We crouched in the tunnel, quietly listening to the movement outside. After a noise, it seemed as if someone had come in. Aunt Xue, go out to greet him with small steps.

"Lazy, don't say a word before you come, so I can prepare some food for you. ”

"Don't bother, Mother, I heard you're out today?"

"Yes, lazy, I'm just back. ”

"Search!"

“......”

"Ah, Aunt Xue is a lazy mother?" I was so shocked that my jaw was about to fall out.

"Shh......h There is Aunt Xue in our still moments of safety, go quickly. Keep up!" Lao Xu urged me to leave quickly, and I came back to my senses and immediately took two quick steps forward.

That's when I realized how crazy what I was doing today.
