When the taxi stopped, seeing the familiar scene in front of him, Han Le turned his head, glanced at Zhang Yuan, and laughed helplessly: "That's what you said?" ”

"That's what I know," Mr. Zhang said, adding, "It's expensive." ”

Zhang Yuan brought him to nowhere else, it was 35 years ago, Qiao Yiyu came to him once, and met Zhu Yuxiang's golf club. In Han Le's memory, 35 years ago, this belonged to the periphery of Shenhai, which was not particularly developed, and there were not even a few cars on the road, but the scene in front of him was too different from what he remembered - just got out of the taxi, and when he looked up, Han Le even saw two helicopters taking off from the stadium and flying directly in the direction of the ocean in the distance.

"Please, both." After the doorman welcomed the two in, another manager came over, "These are the first time you have come, right?" You can sit down for a while and take a look at our service introduction. ”

What to look at the service introduction, while watching the promotional movie made by the venue, Han Le speculated, to put it bluntly, he was afraid that the two of them would have no money, so he would charge them for the project here.

Han Le won't calculate the specific numbers, anyway, no matter how outrageous they are, there are no outrageous numbers in his card, but when he saw the appearance of several handsome men and beauties in the promotional movie when they swung gracefully on the bright sun and the green lawn, Han Le couldn't help but think in his heart - this kind of game first came from the shepherds hitting stones with sticks, which should be said to be the same nature as when they played glass beads when they were children, and when did it become synonymous with nobility and high-end. And the most incredible thing is that hundreds of years ago, rich people played this, and now, in the middle of the 21st century, the interests of rich people have not changed at all, and they still play this - don't you feel bored.

Thinking of this, Han Le stood up and asked directly to the manager who had been standing respectfully on the side, "Do you have a helicopter here?" I don't want to play ball, I want to come and take a helicopter. ”

"The planes are all brought by the guests...... We can't decide," the manager was a little stunned, but replied quickly, "but I can contact you somehow." ”

So the manager left, and taking advantage of this time, Han Le drank a few sips of the coffee sent by the manager - the same as the clear coffee that Han Le had drunk in November, it was bitter. He frowned and asked the waiter to bring him a glass of ice water, oh, it's called soda.

Zhang Yuan's reaction was the same as Han Le's, of course, because he had no money in his pocket, he was more uneasy and excited than Han Le—and maybe some disappointment, but it didn't seem to be more interesting than he thought.

After a while, the manager arrived with a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in beach pants and holding a slice of watermelon in one hand. Han Le noticed that as soon as this person appeared, Zhang Yuan sat up from his seat excitedly-it looked like he should be very famous, maybe a star, Han Le guessed, and quietly kicked Zhang Yuan at the same time.

However, Zhang Yuan didn't notice this little action at all, he showed a very fascinated expression on his face, as if the young man in front of him was his long-lost brother, his eyes were firmly staring at him, his performance was naturally noticed by the other party, he glanced at him sideways, and then said to the two: "Which of you wants to rent a helicopter?" ”

"It's me." Han Le said.

"Are you going to a party?" The young man frowned and looked Han Le up and down.

"No, I just want to get on a plane and have a look," Han Le said honestly, he didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of, "I haven't been on a plane before, and I want to try it today." ”

Ten minutes later, Han Le and Zhang Yuan followed the young man to the tarmac located in the golf course, although it was night, but the stadium was lit by lights no different from daytime, Zhang Yuan's head kept shaking from side to side along the way, like a pendulum, obviously he saw many celebrities he knew, but unfortunately, Han Le did not have this concept, he was at most excited to see a few beauties, but this excitement was also very limited - Qiao Yiyu was about to make him form immunity.

"Originally, I was going to fly alone, but since you want to rent it, then I'll be your pilot," after getting on the plane, the young man gave each of them a headset and skillfully operated on a large number of dashboards in the cockpit, saying as he did, "Do you want to take off now?" Or do you go to the toilet first? ”

Although Han Le was almost numb to watching the picture of flying in various movies, when the propeller turned and the human body felt the lift from the fuselage, Han Le couldn't help but feel excited, and began to look at the ground that was getting farther and farther below. Viewed from the air, the whole city is brightly lit, like a huge jewel of great magnificence, carefully placed on this black velvety earth. There was a dark line in the center of this gem, Han Le knew that it must be the Yangtze River, and the darkness on the east side, which could not be seen at a glance, was the vast Pacific Ocean - but it was not pure black, if you looked closely, you could still see many faint points of light dotted among them.

The helicopter flew along the coast, and the flight altitude has been stable at a distance of several hundred meters from the ground to ensure the best appreciation, and after ten minutes, the plane turned westward along the Yangtze River, Han Le lowered his head, just in time to see a train crossing the bridge, this scene made Han Le sigh with satisfaction.

About an hour later, the helicopter stopped on the tarmac of a building in the west of Shenhai, and before coming down from the roof, Han Le was still reluctant to take a few more glances at the beautiful scenery under his feet, and for the first time felt how boring his previous life was - Han Le remembered that he had the idea of being a pilot in junior high school, but then he ......

"Thank you so much for taking us on a flight," before leaving, Han Le thanked the driver who took them just now, although this trip cost more than 100,000 yuan, Han Le still felt that it was worth it, "Can I still find you next time?" ”

"I may not be available, but I can give you the driver's contact information, he charges cheaper than me." The young man smiled, handed over the phone, and operated it a few times skillfully, and finally made a flick of his fingers, and there was an extra message in Han Le's mobile phone.

When Han Le left, Zhang Yuan, who followed, still had some expectations: "Mr. Liu, why don't you sign for me, I just applied for your company's ......"

This made Han Le turn around and look at the man more, this young man is also in his early 20s, Mr. Liu? Han Le used to think he was a star, but now he seems to be an entrepreneur.

As soon as he went out, Han Le asked Zhang Yuan: "What is the Mr. Liu you just said?" ”

Zhang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Han Le with great contempt, as if he didn't bother to answer this question at all, but after more than ten seconds, he couldn't help but start popularizing science for idols.

That Mr. Liu's full name is Liu Yi, and he is only 23 years old now, but he was already famous all over the world when he was very young - it is said that he had an IQ of more than 170, he began to study in college at the age of 13, and studied for a doctorate at the age of 17...... In short, for Han Le, he is a 2048 version of Bill Gates.

"He changed the way an entire generation lived!" In the bar, Zhang Yuan constantly emphasized to Han Le the importance of his idol - it is precisely because of the higher density of batteries that there will be a fundamental revolution in the automotive industry, the battery life of mobile phones will be greatly increased, the cost of electricity will drop rapidly, the environmental problems of cities will be almost completely solved, and oil will no longer be the most dependent energy source for human beings......

Han Le touched a glass with him, just smiled, Zhang Yuan said very excitedly, but Han Le didn't feel very big - for him, these changes were like falling from the sky, they belonged to another world - although he was living in this world now, the sense of illusion was still very strong. In fact, don't say it's now, even 35 years ago, if you saw this news on the news, Han Le would at best think "Oh, the technology is already so advanced" - long-term education and massive knowledge can easily make modern people form this feeling, that is, the progress of the whole world, the progress of technology, is a natural occurrence, and there is no mysterious element in this process.

Han Le's numbness made Zhang Yuan a little incredible, but he could also understand that such numbness was everywhere in society, and Han Le was just more frank and able to admit it clearly.

This bar is obviously different from November, it belongs to the kind of bar that is very common to sing and dance and make girls, there is a big dance floor in the middle of the bar, Zhang Yuan drank two glasses, and then he went down to dance for a while, saying that it was dancing, but in fact, it was just shaking his head with the rhythm of the music, but because there were many girls on the dance floor, this seemingly boring thing became very marketable - what to do is not the key, the key is to do it to whom.

"Hey," Han Le was tapped on the shoulder, and a girl in a very short skirt sat down next to him, pointing in Zhang Yuan's direction and saying to him, "He said you would treat me to a drink." ”

Han Le looked at Zhang Yuan, the other party nodded at him, and Han Le could only be the wronged leader: "Yes, you can order as you like." ”

The girl sat for a while, and when she saw that Han Le didn't speak, she took the initiative to say to him, "Why don't you speak?" Nervous? ”

Han Le shook his head, he had all emotions now, but he was not nervous. The world was changing too fast for him, and he just felt a little absurd and overwhelmed, and confused about the future—a month later, he would lie back in that freezer, and when he woke up again, what would the whole world look like?

"There is wine today, drunk today, sorrow tomorrow comes, sorrow tomorrow". Han Le sighed with emotion, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, the cold alcohol seemed to fill some of the emptiness in his stomach, but this feeling was quickly replaced by a deeper longing.

……

Unlike drunk people who say that they are not drunk, when they were just drunk, Han Le knew that he was drunk, because on the way back, Han Le found that he would indulge in singing "Borrow from the sky for another 500 years" on the street in front of several strangers, oh no, in Han Le's lyrics, it is "Borrow another 50,000 years from the sky." ”

Han Le used to feel that he had nothing to do with the word drunk, because he was too choking on liquor, he wouldn't, and he drank a bottle of beer, and the amount was not enough, but today in the bar, maybe because of the music, maybe because of the mood, drinking whiskey one by one, just like drinking mung bean soup in summer, there is no bottom.

"You...... Myself...... Go up," When he went downstairs, Han Le said to Zhang Yuan, "I'm alone...... Alone, later. ”

But Zhang Yuan definitely wouldn't listen to a drunkard at this time, or dragged him into the elevator hard, in the elevator Han Le was still full of reluctance, and kept pressing the door button, and when the door finally opened, he pressed the button to go downstairs again: "Send me to the hotel...... There was no one at home. ”

Of course there are people at home, Han Le just subconsciously didn't want Qiao Yiyu to see his appearance, but it was too late, Qiao Yiyu was painting on the balcony just now when he heard Han Le's loud and moving singing, and he was waiting at the elevator door at the moment. Seeing Han Le, who was holding on to the elevator door and refusing to leave, he was angry and funny and asked Zhang Yuandao: "Why did he drink like this?" ”

"I don't know," Zhang Yuan was a little wronged, that is, after dancing for more than half an hour, Han Le changed from standing to lying on his stomach, looking at Qiao Yiyu's face, he also thought that Han Le was awkward with the two of them, "Maybe I haven't drunk it before." ”

But no matter what, Qiao Yiyu took over, in Qiao Yiyu's hands, Han Le was very obedient, and he did whatever he wanted, just like a robot. Qiao Yiyu put a bathtub of hot water for him, and then kept the temperature constant, and let him go in to take a bath by himself, Han Le walked in and washed with his head down like a child who had done something wrong, and came out after almost twenty minutes, and said to Qiao Yiyu: "I'm already a lot more awake, you go to sleep." ”

Qiao Yiyu shook her head: "I don't want to sleep yet, are you not in a good mood?" ”

"No," Han Le didn't think it was because it was "not good", he felt that it was more of a chaotic mood, "I just feel a little messy in my head." ”

Qiao Yiyu wanted to comfort him a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stretch out his hand, press it lightly on his head, and say to him, "I'll help you relieve the bar." ”

Han Le smiled bitterly: "Do they have any functions?" ”

Qiao Yiyu knew what Han Le meant by "them", nodded and said, "Yes, a lot of functions." ”

"Do you think we're particularly stupid*B?" As soon as Han Le said this, he knew that he had gone too far, but he did not apologize, but stared straight at Qiao Yiyu.

Qiao Yiyu was not angry because of this, on the contrary, she felt that it was already incredible that Han Le was only angry now, because of his appearance, Han Le might have to live under his own arrangement for the rest of his life, he knew very little, and what he could reveal to him was extremely limited, he had to unconditionally follow a lot of arrangements that he might be difficult to accept in Han Le's opinion.

"Han Le, I remember when I first met you, you told me that time travel is a paradox," Qiao Yiyu said to Han Le calmly, "In our time, many people also think so, but not because of technical reasons, but because time travel will make people in the past dependent or afraid of the future, and this emotion will become a disaster when it spreads." ”

Han Le's smile was a little stiff: "I'm not so miserable as a disaster." ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't speak, in her opinion, Han Le's performance was already on the verge of disaster, Han Le had been suppressing his own emotions before, because he had always understood intellectually that in order to survive, his actions were necessary. But people are not rational creatures after all, and when they woke up, they found that it had been 35 years, and few people could peacefully accept this change - not only the world changed all at once, but as an individual, Han Le's individual life logic also changed, because there would no longer be a coherent world in his later life, and the world would be one incomplete fragment after another for him.

Han Le's alcoholism today can be said to be a kind of frustration to the extreme, this venting may have certain benefits in the short term, but in the long run, this also lays the groundwork for possible out-of-control behavior in the future - Han Le's pace can't slow down, Qiao Yiyu knows the direction of history, she knows very well that the pressure that Han Le will face in the future will only get bigger and bigger, and if there is no spiritual support, such a state cannot last long. Fortunately, the development of the earth's civilization in the 21st century is still flat, and the changes in 35 years are not very big, 35 years ago, the earthlings drank, danced and sang, and the same will be true after 35 years, but what about a period of time? What happens when the whole society becomes completely unrecognizable to Han Le?

"It's very difficult to really accept this fact mentally," Qiao Yiyu said honestly, "Actually, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to come to your time...... It's just that I'm a little better than you, and I still have the room to take the initiative. ”

Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu with some surprise, it seemed that this was the first time Qiao Yiyu mentioned her own thoughts to herself: "Are you under pressure because of what do you have to do?" War or something? ”

"It's pressure, but it doesn't come from survival," Qiao Yiyu shook his head slightly, unwilling to elaborate on this issue, "I just want to tell you that in the face of some things that have to be done, you may be able to face these with a more positive attitude." ”

Of course, Han Le understands this truth, that is, the legend on the Internet "Life is like rape, if you can't resist, learn to enjoy it", Qiao Yiyu just said it more elegantly.

"No, that's not what it means," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "It's not about passively accepting life, but from the possibilities of life, trying to open up some space that you can accept, so that you can live a more enjoyable life...... I was fortunate to be interested in the history of civilization before I came. ”

"History of civilization?" Han Le felt that this word was a little too big, "Is it to study our ancient civilizations?" ”

"Almost," Qiao Yiyu didn't say too much detail, and asked Han Le again, "What about you?" You seemed to enjoy playing games before......"

"That's because I don't know what to do except play games," Han Le seemed to be a little excited, and said loudly, "but today I found out that I have money, and the first thing that comes to mind has nothing to do with playing games, I just want to find some excitement, go on a plane, go drinking...... I even want to go over and find a pretty lady! When Han Le asked Zhang Yuan to lead the way, what he actually thought was that no matter where Zhang Yuan took him, he would admit it.
