Leek Ridge is the main peak of Du Pang Ling, one of the five ridges in the south, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, known as the K2 of Hunan, ranking first among the top ten non-famous peaks, known for the high intensity, high difficulty and high risk of climbing, and is a holy place for mountaineering enthusiasts. It is majestic, handsome and upright, and there are wild leeks on the mountain, so it is named Leek Ridge, and there are many donkey friends who come here every year.

On a clear night in mid-August, in a meadow-covered valley surrounded by forests near it, a lonely tent sat a teenager outside it. His name is Luo Xingyu, he just graduated from high school this year, and he came here with his classmates to cross the Leek Ridge, but he was separated from them in the process of descending the mountain, and now he is the only one in the valley.

The stars were twinkling in the sky, and a crescent moon hung on the horizon, because the air was fresh, the sky was clear, the starry sky was particularly bright, and the night was deep, and then he stood up and prepared to rest.

Just as he was bending down to enter the tent, he suddenly noticed that there was a white bright spot in the sky above Leek Ridge, which was rapidly falling from the zenith. It doesn't look like a meteor, because its trajectory is not a straight line, it's not an airplane, it doesn't look like it, and there is no sound, Luo Xingyu felt very strange, and hurriedly stopped and watched. It soon came down, and when it reached the side of the valley, it turned into a large white ball of light, and rushed straight to the ground, but it was still very fast, and then, before he could react, it rushed down, and slammed into a small forested hill on the edge of the valley, and then rushed down the slope of the mountain with broken branches, and finally was blocked by the trees and weakened the momentum, and stopped at the foot of the mountain, and never moved again.

Luo Xingyu was surprised, he didn't know what kind of flying object it was. The object had landed at one end of the valley, about six or seven hundred meters away, and although it was night, and he was alone, he decided to go and see it in order to find out, so he took out a trekking pole and a flashlight and began to walk in that direction.

It didn't take long for him to get there, and he saw a shiny metal sphere parked on the grass at the foot of the mountain in front of him, about seven or eight meters away, it was about three or four meters in diameter, the shell was smooth, and several rows of thin lights on it were still flickering, because it was night, the shell light was not very bright, and it was impossible to see what kind of flying object it was.

Luo Xingyu was thinking about it, when the sphere moved, making a noise, and then a hatch opened on the side, and a humanoid creature wearing a helmet and glowing clothes came out of it. He was tall, nearly two meters tall, wearing smooth and shiny tight-fitting clothes, and because he was wearing a helmet, he couldn't see what he looked like.

Because he didn't know who the other party was, whether it was good or bad, Luo Xingyu didn't dare to show himself, he hurriedly hid behind a cluster of bushes beside him and secretly observed.

When the man got out of the field, he looked around for a while, and then began to walk towards the valley. Luo Xingyu wanted to probe to see clearly, but accidentally touched a branch, and the flashlight fell to the ground, making a small but clear sound.

The man heard the voice, and immediately shot out a beam of light from his arm, shining Luo Xingyu in the aperture, he had already been discovered, it was impossible to hide anymore, helpless, Luo Xingyu had to stand up awkwardly and shouted: "Hello, can I ask who you are?" ”

Silent, the man began to walk towards him, and Luo Xingyu asked again: "Hello, don't come here, can I ask who you are?" The man was still silent. Luo Xingyu was suspicious, picked up the flashlight on the ground and shone it at the other party, only to find a face with strange facial features under the helmet that did not look like a human at all, Luo Xingyu screamed in fright, turned around and ran.

At this time, the man spoke, and his voice was very distinctive, and he did not know what language he spoke, and his voice was rapid. Luo Xingyu felt as if the other party didn't mean to attack him (although he may be an alien, since he is not aggressive, he shouldn't be afraid), Luo Xingyu stopped and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The one who was still talking about it, obviously couldn't understand what he meant, Luo Xingyu turned around and walked over, but he didn't dare to get too close, and stopped a few meters away from him. "Hello, can you understand what I say? Are you an alien? Luo Xingyu continued to ask, there is no doubt that he didn't understand what he said.

When Luo Xingyu didn't know what to do, he saw the other party starting to walk towards him, and he didn't know what he was going to do, "Don't you come over, what are you going to do?" He said, retreating as he spoke. Seeing the other party speeding up, he turned around and wanted to run, but at this time, the man suddenly rushed up with an arrow and held him in his arms, Luo Xingyu was so frightened that he screamed while struggling: "Who are you!" What do you want? ”

The man was silent, hugged him tightly, and covered the back of Luo Xingyu's head with one hand, Luo Xingyu suddenly felt that the back of his head was bound by something like a sucker, and after a while, a hot current flowed through the scalp towards his brain, and he felt dizzy and almost passed out. "It's over, I'm done," he thought desperately.

After a while, the man's hand let go, and as soon as Luo Xingyu broke free, he turned around and ran, and then the man said, "Hello, please don't run away." "It's Mandarin! Although the pronunciation is not very standard, it is indeed Mandarin!

"What did you say?" Luo Xingyu stopped.

"Hello, please don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."

"Ah, who are you?"

"I'm from another planet, I just did that to read your language information, only in this way can I communicate with you, don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

"Oh my God!" Luo Xingyu gasped and shouted, although he had been mentally prepared just now, but once confirmed, he was still so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. Hearing the alien's explanation, Luo Xingyu touched his head, his mind was clear, and his body was not unwell, and he saw that the alien was polite and did not seem to have malicious intentions, so he was relieved and not very afraid. After confirming that there was no danger, he immediately became curious, and he looked at the alien with wide eyes, trying to see his appearance clearly, but because the alien was still wearing a helmet, he couldn't see clearly.

After a while he asked, "Okay, forget it, it's okay, where are you from?" ”

At this time, the alien did not answer, but sat down on a mound of dirt on the side, he took off his helmet, covered his abdomen with his hands, and sat there, as if he was very uncomfortable, under the moonlight, then Luo Xingyu saw his appearance clearly, the alien's head was bald, the top of his head was flat, the whole face was hard and the contours were clear, like a sculpture, with a wide and protruding forehead, slanted eyes, a high straight nose, an angular chin and mouth, and a dark complexion, because it was night, I couldn't tell what color it was.

"What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well? Did you just wreck? Luo Xingyu saw the alien like this, and thought of the way the flying object landed just now, and asked.

"Yes, I was wrecked, but our big spaceship was wrecked, it was just a lifeboat, I was hit when I landed just now."

"Ah, I see, do you need to care? Do you want me to call someone for you? ”

"No, don't alarm anyone, lest you get me in trouble."

"Okay, so what do you do? Does it matter if you want to? ”

The alien didn't answer, he was holding on there, Luo Xingyu felt as if he was holding on very hard, so he asked again, "Do you care?" Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

At this time, the alien stared at him for a while, as if to see if he could believe it, and after a while, he saw kindness and sincerity in Luo Xingyu's eyes, and he said: "Yes, you can help me, I didn't have time to treat the wound just now." ”

"Okay, how do you want me to help you?"

"You go to my ship, under the console, there's a rectangular medical kit, you can get it for me."

Luo Xingyu immediately ran towards the alien spaceship, and it didn't take long for him to find the box, he didn't care about taking a closer look at the situation inside the alien spaceship, and quickly ran back to the alien.

"Please help me open it, thanks." The alien said.

The box has an unlocked clasp that opens with a single press.

The alien asked him to take out a pen-shaped thing, he pressed the pen, and a short beam of light shot out from the pen, "Cut me here," the alien handed the pen to Luo Xingyu, and said with his hand in a circle behind his back.

"Doesn't it matter the distance?" Luo Xingyu asked, he was afraid of cutting the skin of the alien.

"It doesn't matter."

The alien's clothes were hard and soft, like leather and soft metal, and Luo Xingyu cut a big hole in his back and found a large bulging lump on his back.

"The flat machine on the side, help bring it to me." After the clothes were cut, the alien said. Luo Xingyu took a machine similar to a portable spectrometer to him, and the alien pressed it on the machine for a while, then handed it to Luo Xingyu and said, "Help me sweep it on my back." ”

Luo Xingyu swept up behind the alien's back, and after sweeping, he handed the machine to the alien, and the alien read the information above and said, "It's not too much of a problem, you can use that one to wipe me and then bandage it." ”

So Luo Xingyu picked up another bottle of ointment-like things and rubbed them on the alien's wound, and bandaged him with something similar to a medical bag.

After bandaging, the alien said, "It's okay, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, where are you from?" Luo Xingyu asked again.

Maybe Luo Xingyu helped him, and the aliens trusted him, and the aliens rested for a while after dealing with the wounds, and began to tell their origins.

It turned out that he was seven hundred light years away from the earth from a planet called Montatu, a few decades ago, they had a scientific expedition team to investigate this area, and then disappeared, they recently learned from other exotic aliens that their compatriots were imprisoned by the Earth Zhengfu, so this time they came to find their compatriots and bring them back, but they didn't expect that their spaceship was hit by an asteroid when it passed through the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system, and the spaceship exploded, and the rest of the crew were all killed, He survived, he flew in an escape boat for more than ten days before he arrived here, but because of his lack of energy and improper operation, he fell into this mountain.

Luo Xingyu was stunned when he heard this, feeling as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights, on the one hand, he didn't expect that aliens could fly a distance of seven hundred light years, and on the other hand, he didn't expect that not only had aliens come to Earth, but also been imprisoned by the Earth Mansion, it turned out that those rumors about UFOs were true! It's all shocking. After a moment of amazement, he asked, "Which country is that imprisoning your compatriots?" ”

"It's a country called America."

"America! Sure enough, it was them, and it turned out that those rumors were true! Luo Xingyu shouted, and the alien was silent, making an expression that he already knew about it.

"Can you go back now, and can you still contact your planet?" Luo Xingyu asked again.

"I can't go back, it's just a lifeboat, and I can't get in touch, and the boat's message can't be sent that far."

"Oh, then you can only stay here, you stay with us, I'll ask our Zhengfu to help you."

"No, don't, don't give out my news to anyone until you're sure they can be trusted."

"Oh, well, what do you do then? Have you been hiding in the mountains like this? ”

"No, I want to go and find this country, talk to them, and ask them to release our compatriots."

"But aren't you alone now? You go alone like this, and what if they imprison you too? ”

"If they had imprisoned me, my countrymen would have come back to me, and I don't think they would have been so reckless."

"Oh, that's right, can your lifeboat still fly?"

"You can still fly, but I don't have the navigation of your planet, I don't know where this country is, I just looked for you to understand the situation, where is this place, how far is it from this country?"

"This is China, more than 10,000 kilometers away from the United States, and there is an ocean in between."

"Can you tell me which direction to fly?"

"But even if I tell you which way to fly, you won't be able to find it if you don't navigate, you'll get lost, and you don't know if you're looking for the United States."

"Yes," the alien said after a moment of silence, "you just helped me, I feel that you are a real person, can you help me find this country, or can you help me find someone I can trust and accompany me?" ”

"Do you have to go to the United States?" Luo Xingyu asked, he was a little surprised, this was something he didn't expect.

"Since I am here, I must know the condition of our compatriots."

"When do you want to go?"

"The sooner the better."

"Well, let me think about it." Luo Xingyu said, and the alien nodded.

So Luo Xingyu began to think, he had a satellite phone and could do navigation, but he was afraid that the Americans would imprison him, so he was a little hesitant. He looked at the alien and felt that he was a person from a civilized planet, in fact, he could take a person hostage if he wanted to go to the United States, but he didn't, which means that he is very civilized, and since they are so powerful, I believe that the Americans don't treat themselves well, plus he is also very bold and likes to take risks, so he feels that it is very exciting to accompany the alien to the United States, maybe they can also become friends, and having an alien as a friend is what a terrible thing, after thinking about it like this, he decided to help the alien, so he said: "Either so, I have a satellite phone and can do navigation, or I'll go with you."

"Really, great, thank you, I was not mistaken, you are a warm-hearted person, good, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's nothing, it should be done, by the way, what's your name, my name is Luo Xingyu, I'm here to climb the mountain, and I'm separated from my companions."

"Call me Alpad."

"Okay, Alpad, when are we leaving, are your injuries alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll go tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes." Luo Xingyu said, so they started talking, Luo Xingyu asked Alpad about the specific location of their planet, the technological level of their planet, the accident of their spaceship and why they could fly such a long distance in a short time, etc., and Alpad answered him briefly. Although Alpad is an alien, Luo Xingyu feels that they seem to have similar thoughts and feelings with humans, and it is not difficult to communicate at all, and after a short time together, they feel like old friends who have known each other for a long time.

Later, when the night was getting darker, Alpad looked tired and wanted to rest, Luo Xingyu was embarrassed to continue pestering him, so he had to say goodbye to him, and they made an appointment to leave for the United States together the next day, and then separated.

Alpad wanted to rest in his spaceship, Luo Xingyu wanted to go back to his tent, he reluctantly left Alpad and returned to his tent, until he got into the sleeping bag, he couldn't sleep for a long time, feeling that everything was like a dream, and then because he was too tired, he slowly fell asleep under the hypnosis of tiredness.
