Chapter 15: Patrolling the Mountains
Peng Lao and Sister Hua fell into contemplation without saying a word, and after Li You finished recalling, he carefully pondered the fire that disappeared in the mountains and forests, and said to them worriedly: "Don't think about anything else, now hurry up and send someone out to search, Xiao Liu, something may happen to them!" ”
"Okay, I'll go and prepare, Peng Lao, my brother...... Li You, he will hand it over to you. After saying that, Sister Hua walked out quickly.
Peng Lao thought about it, his expression was much calmer, he raised his head and raised his eyes and said to Li You: "Are you really sure that you are seeing yourself?" ”
When he heard Peng Lao's words, he hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "That, how old are Sister Hua and her brother?" ”
"Huahua is twenty-five years old this year, and I used to often say that she would become an older leftover girl if she didn't find a partner, hehe, this word is still what I saw from old magazines."
"And what about his brother?"
Peng Lao picked up his yellowed white coat, sat on the chair and said, "Shuangzi is in his thirties this year, in fact, I don't know his age. He wasn't born with us. ”
"The person I saw was very similar to me, but it seemed to be a little older than me, and I thought it might be Sister Hua's brother. What do you mean that he was not born here? ”
Seeing that Peng Lao stopped talking, Li You felt that there was something strange in this, although he no longer thought about going home all the time, but he didn't know if the crossing had any effect on him, and the exponential curiosity skyrocketed.
"Old Peng, what's wrong?"
"Hey", Peng Lao sighed, fiddled with the corners of his somewhat blackened clothes, and continued: "I still remember that Shuangzi was brought here by his mother, and later married a man in the camp and gave birth to Huahua. ”
Li You nodded and said, "In this case, their brother and sister are also related. ”
"No, Shuangzi is a kid who picked it up. This incident was also discovered when I was testing DNA after the invention of the original scanner, and Huahua didn't know about it. ”
"Picked up?" Li You didn't know why, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
Peng Lao looked at Li You's puzzled expression, frowned and said, "The matter is actually like this. ”
Huahua's mother, when she arrived at the camp, was diagnosed with lupus erythematosus, a common condition found in women of childbearing age.
With this disease, it is basically impossible to have children, and there is no cure. However, this sentence was said in the original century. Through Peng Lao's years of research, she has already recopied her gene chain and reordered it on the basis of the original basic theory of DNA genetics, so that this incurable disease has collapsed at the root.
After Peng Lao finished speaking, he didn't show that kind of joy, but seemed to blame himself, looked at Li You and said, "I haven't done this kind of research since then." After all, I didn't cure the disease, I changed the whole person, which is ethically immoral. ”
Li You, who was confused, didn't care about this, first of all, he didn't understand, and secondly, it didn't have much to do with himself. He just understood that the old man in front of him had saved a life.
Outside the tent was brightly lit and noisy. But inside the tent was quiet and terrifying, after such a while, Li You had almost recovered, so he stretched out his legs and went to the ground, put on his shoes, walked towards Peng Lao, pulled a chair and sat beside him.
"Elder Peng, you are also out of good intentions, don't blame yourself anymore. By the way, can you elaborate on what happened here? ”
Seeing him ask seriously, Peng Lao shook his head and said, "Come, I'll take you to see it." With that, the two walked out of the tent.
And Sister Hua was telling a team of people something, and Peng Lao nodded to Li You and walked towards Sister Hua.
"Huahua, the two of us will also go to have a look, and go to the downstream camp by the way."
"No, I don't know how dangerous it is outside now, you still stay here honestly, and I'll talk about going downstream during the day tomorrow!"
Peng Lao ignored what she said, and said flatly: "You don't need to persuade me, if my judgment is correct, tonight is the last night for us to live safely." ”
When the people present heard this, they were all a little discouraged, and even the resolute Sister Hua was depressed. Li You didn't know where the courage came from, walked up to Peng Lao and said loudly:
"Well, I'm sure you're all scared right now, but if that's all it takes, wouldn't you have let those advance teams die in vain? No one else will help us now, the only one who can change the status quo is ourselves, so take some courage! ”
Li You's words didn't move everyone, but Sister Hua was surprised: "Old Peng, do you think the last sentence he said sounds a little familiar?" ”
"Well, it's a little." Peng Lao was still wondering where he had heard this, and the elephant in the crowd said excitedly:
"Isn't that what the boss said when he left? I remember him finishing his sentence and making one of these gestures. With that, the elephant stretched out his right index finger and raised it to the sky.
"Yes, yes, I remember you saying you were going to slaughter their bunch of crumbs."
"yes, I heard that, too."
At this time, the dejected team rekindled their fighting spirit, as if Li You was really the reincarnation of the boss they said. And Li You, who was holding his hands behind his back, hurriedly retracted his left index finger.
He thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't get emotionally aroused after speaking, I'm afraid he would have stretched out his finger to point to the sky, but why did he stretch out his left index finger?
"Okay, let's go now, remember, protecting Peng Lao and Li You is the key!"
The group walked out of the south gate in high spirits and followed a hidden path towards the mountains to the west. This road was not as easy to walk as Li You imagined, and he stumbled several times and almost fell under the cracks that were flooded by weeds.
On the way, Peng Lao also asked Li You questions from time to time, most of which were the ecology and climate of the earth in other worlds.
"Young man, I just seem to understand why you fell from a height and escaped unscathed, just like Shuangzi. And you can roughly understand the nonsense you said when you woke up for the first time. ”
Li You was a little puzzled, and hurriedly said: "You talked about Shuangzi for a long time, is it Sister Hua's brother, that is, another 'me'?" Also, when I woke up just now, you didn't say what I said when I woke up? ”
"I was afraid that you would be frightened just now, so I didn't tell you all." Peng Lao ripped off an oversized morning glory from a broken stone pillar and continued: "When you woke up, you called Huahua 'Little Flower Cat', which is the name between their brothers and sisters, and others simply don't or dare to call her that. ”
"Also, you said 'they' were coming, tell everyone to run. From various indications, a certain connection between you and Shuangzi is the quantum entanglement phenomenon in quantum mechanics. ”
After Peng Lao finished speaking, he blew the morning glory root in his hand, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and then said like a child: "It's really sweet, haha, I've wanted to try it for a long time." ”
