Last night, although there was a time difference, Han Le still had a rare sleepless sleep, and when he got up in the morning, he saw Su Pei sipping wine in front of the computer, he really had a sense of déjà vu - just like the last time they stayed in a hotel before hibernation.

After breakfast, Han Le went to look for Qiao Yiyu, but found that there was no one in her room, so he asked the hotel waiter, and the waiter said that she went out in the middle of the night, oh, and left them a message at the main desk: "I'll go out to do something, you wait for me at the hotel." ”

came back and talked to Su Pei about this, Su Pei didn't care about what Qiao Yiyu was going to do, after all, he now knew that Qiao Yiyu slept two or three hours a day, and he definitely couldn't keep pace with them in the rhythm of life, what he cared about in the future - last night he checked the information all night, and read many cases of criminal extradition on the Internet, he knew that if the Chinese government announced that they were the most annoying, the current France, oh no, the current European Union would not do anything for them, Because now European countries are also full of a bunch of rotten things about hibernators and anti-hibernators.

"France definitely can't stay, there is still a strike in the city of Paris," Su Pei pointed to the computer and said to Han Le - now he has somewhat opened up his knack, and he knows that if he wants to affect Qiao Yiyu, he has to start with Han Le, "I heard that there are still dead people, if you want me to say, let's go to Germany, Sweden is fine, I have checked the ......"

"It's useless for you to tell me," Han Le shook his head, "Anyway, I don't have an opinion on where Qiao Yiyu said to go." ”

"I asked her yesterday, and you heard it, and she said she didn't think about it either," Su Pei continued, "I heard that Russia is also developing very well now, especially in Siberia, where there are many Chinese immigrants, which are no different from China. ”

"I don't understand this," Han Le didn't have any opinions at all, and he didn't have any concept of the country that Su Pei said, "Let's listen to Qiao Yiyu." ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't appear until noon, it was almost 12 o'clock, if she didn't come again, Han Le was probably really ready to go to the police, and was a little surprised after meeting: "You haven't eaten yet?" ”

"You ate?"

"No, I thought you ate," Qiao Yiyu smiled, "Then go out to eat, on the way here, I saw a coffee shop, which said that it sells Chinese food." ”

"You won't come, how can we eat," Su Pei said after leaving the hotel, and then looked back and forth at the road with a nervous expression, "I heard that Paris is very chaotic now?" "Actually, it's not a fact, it's a fact that I read on the Internet.

"It's true," Qiao Yiyu also went out in the early hours of this morning to find out, "but it's okay now, I've talked to a few locals, and it's not as exaggerated as a few months ago." ”

"I originally wanted to take you to visit the famous places here," Qiao Yiyu said to Han Le regretfully, "You shouldn't have been to France yet, right?" ”

"That's right," Han Le raised his head and looked at the towering buildings around him, "but it feels a lot worse than he remembered." ”

"This is a suburb, and there is not much difference between the city center and the scenic spots, which are generally more traditional in Europe," Qiao Yiyu said, "but I went to ask this morning, and there are protests near several big attractions, so I am afraid of trouble." ”

The café is only a few minutes away, but what makes Han Le feel strange is that there are very few people on this road, obviously it is broad daylight, but along the way, you can't even see a ghost, most of the shops on both sides are closed, and the door of the store is covered with all kinds of propaganda graffiti, and there are all kinds of letters - Han Le can't read French, doesn't understand what those words mean, but he understands a few comics, including the sign of the polar bear seal, but it is marked with a big cross - it looks like this should be anti-hibernation.

"Where have all the people on the street gone?" After entering the store and sitting down, Han Le muttered, this is the time for lunch, but this store is almost full of people, only the female proprietress is teaching the two children to play card games.

"The vast majority of them are hibernating," Ms. Qiao said, "and the hibernation policy in Europe is much broader than in China." ”

The proprietress had just met Qiao Yiyu, so she came over to greet her very warmly, Su Pei was well-informed and could understand common phrases such as hello and what to eat, but Han Le was completely blind, but in the process of speaking, Qiao Yiyu would also translate a few sentences for them appropriately, such as what flavor they like, what kind of coffee they prefer, and whether they want to try desserts......

A few minutes later, the proprietress went to the kitchen to get busy and entrusted Qiao Yiyu to take care of the two children. Qiao Yiyu hooked his fingers and asked these two little guys who looked five or six years old to come over, let them introduce themselves, this is a pair of sisters and brothers, the sister is 7 years old, called Alina, the younger brother is less than 5 years old, called Alva, when listening to Qiao Yiyu say that both of them are Chinese, Alina will also greet in Chinese: "Hello." ”

When Qiao Yiyu asked where their father was, the younger brother pointed to the ceiling excitedly: "In the sky!" The three of them thought they were dead, and when Qiao Yiyu was about to bypass the topic, her sister added: "It's an astronaut!" ”

As early as the first few years of nuclear fusion technology, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) initiated the proposal to establish a basic foothold on the moon and further develop the helium three plant, five or six years later, this proposal has a basic prototype - human beings have been able to survive on the surface of the moon for a long time. By now, the idea of the helium 3 plant has not yet become a reality, but it is not far away, and mankind has built a small city on the surface of the moon, in which the material reserves are enough to accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people.

One of them was Alina's father, who was said to be a computer engineer who would return almost once a year at Christmas to take a month or two off to reunite with his family. This year, too, had just left, and his brother Alva had heard that his father was planning to take them to the moon for a long time - he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he was looking forward to that day sooner.

waited until the food came up, and the two siblings stopped talking and sat back in their places. There are not many dishes, just a few home-cooked dishes, back to the pot meat, home-cooked tofu, and a European-style unknown broth, no rice, the staple food is fried noodles, but the taste is not bad, although it is not very authentic, but it is also a unique flavor - for example, the back pot meat is not spicy at all, but a little sweet.

During the meal, Qiao Yiyu asked the female shopkeeper about Paris, and when talking about the various protests in the city, the shopkeeper also seemed to have some opinions of his own: "Hibernation (this matter) will be the most difficult moral gap for our generation to cross, if everyone chases this absolute freedom, then what future do we have?" As she said this, she glanced at her two children, "Hibernators will eventually compete with their children for jobs and resources...... The reason why they are able to hibernate is because there are still young people in society who do not hibernate at work, and when the people of the past are old, they die and leave an inheritance, and now they are old, and send a special tax bill for hibernation to their children and grandchildren (in France, the means by which the government manages hibernation is an economic means, and it is mandatory to pay taxes), and I have seen a child who has just become an adult and goes to work and pays taxes for seven or eight old people in the family at the same time! ”

Qiao Yiyu obviously knows a lot about these things, and can still talk a few words: "I heard that many people are protesting against this decree now, and they want to cancel the hibernation tax......"

"Yes, but that's just drinking to quench your thirst," the woman became a little excited, "and then everyone would go to hibernation, the electricity bill would be negligible, and the whole society would come to a standstill, as is the case in some states in the United States now." ”

"I've heard that in your China, the government is forcibly intervening in hibernation legislation despite the opposition of the people," the woman added, "and that's a good idea, but it's impossible to do it in us, and anyone who wants to do it is mistaken for Hitler." ”

After eating the main meal, and drinking a cup of coffee and dessert, some people say that the French have three hours to eat a meal, Han Le They are fast this time, more than an hour to solve the problem, when they come out of the store, the female shopkeeper is also enthusiastic to let them come back next time. Su Pei whispered to Han Le, "If she knew that we were the oldest hibernators, would she still let us eat?" ”

Qiao Yiyu happened to come out and heard it; When she was seven or eight years old, her parents hibernated, and threw her in the care of her grandmother, but within a few years, her grandmother got sick and hibernated, and threw her to an aunt, but ...... In the end, he was sent to an orphanage. ”

"That'...... It's really a childhood shadow. Su Pei pursed his lips.

"There are also many people in China who are in a situation like her, and the government sometimes forcibly wakes up people and asks them to take care of their children, but there are still people who don't recognize them - in their memories, their children are still babies, but when they wake up, they are all seven or eight years old, and they are teenagers, and they can't accept it psychologically. Children too, many people have never met their parents at all, this is already a worldwide phenomenon. ”

Back at the hotel, Qiao Yiyu said a few words to the waiter at the front desk, and when the waiter went to operate the computer, Qiao Yiyu turned back to the two and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, we have to leave at night and take the train to Bern, Switzerland." ”

Neither of them spoke, just nodded to indicate that they knew, Su Pei actually wanted to ask why, but he still forgot it.

"Originally, I was going to play here for two days, show you around, and relax," Qiao Yiyu said, "but now I don't have this opportunity, Han Le, do you remember the 21st century Internet café I painted?" ”

Han Le nodded.

"Later, I repainted it again, according to the original drawing, and painted it into an oil painting," Qiao Yiyu seemed a little proud, "Later, it was sold, and I heard that it was also collected by the Louvre, and I still wanted to come and see if there was any." ”

"There must be." Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu and smiled, and Qiao Yiyu became even more proud.

In the afternoon, the three of them were bored in the hotel together, and they didn't go to that store for dinner, for fear of accidentally saying that they were hibernators. The food provided by the hotel was also good, the only thing that needed to be adjusted was that Han Le's steak was deliberately cooked to the ground - the chef also came out to protest, but the protest was ineffective. Han Le felt sick to his stomach when he saw the three or four cooked and bloody things on Su Pei's plate. There is also foie gras, which Han Le saw yesterday, and along with the most famous French snails, they were all excluded from the menu. He asked for the steak and several servings of pasta, and then he ate the steak topping.

However, Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei are still decent, when Han Le is drinking Coke and eating noodles with chopsticks, the two of them can still taste wine - the most important thing in this era is good wine of full year, because people are hibernating. Su Pei's movements are standard, but the table manners are still a little rough, but Qiao Yiyu is simply perfect, and even the waiter praised: "There is no lady like her in the French." ”

Halfway through eating, she also called a violinist - but he didn't need to play it, Qiao Yiyu directly picked it up and played a song - no worse than her guitar. When he put down the violin and came back, Qiao Yiyu said to Han Le: "It's a birthday gift for you in advance." ”

"Huh?" Only then did Han Le react, "What time is it today?" ”

"February 13," Qiao Yiyu said, "tomorrow is your birthday." ”

Su Pei asked in surprise: "Your birthday is Valentine's Day!" ”

Han Le really didn't expect that he was terrified every day for the few days he spent in China before, how could he have time to think about when his birthday would be. Pinching his fingers and calculating, this year 2073, he was born in 1988, if according to the actual time, this year should be his 85th birthday!

85 years old! Imagine, if he hadn't met Qiao Yiyu, he was just living an ordinary life, and if he hadn't died, he would have been an old man...... Hibernation is really ...... It's really unimaginable, and now Han Le can finally understand why people in this era would rather live a good life, abandon their wives and children, and would rather violate the law, even risking their lives, to go to hibernation.

The train time was 10 o'clock in the evening, and dinner was long and long, but there were still two hours to go, so Han Le went to walk around the supermarket in the hotel with Su Pei, planning to buy something to kill the boredom on the train. Valentine's Day is coming, and there are many gifts prepared in the supermarket, and roses are of course indispensable - Han Le saw a magic rose, which looked like a small stone, but when he pressed it in his hand, a flower would emerge from it. Originally, Han Le just looked at it fresh, but when he looked at it, the gods made the ghost worse, so he bought one and put it on his body.

When he came out, Qiao Yiyu was still in the restaurant, chatting with a few enthusiastic old French hooligans, the concept of sex in this era is more open than in the past, and a few guys who are old seem to be unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and have been praising Qiao Yiyu's beauty and temperament. It wasn't until Han Le came over that she found an excuse to get out.

Originally, the hotel was arranged to go by car, but the manager came to inform him that there was an accident on the road - a group of protesters blocked the road. The manager meant that you could contact the station to take the next bus, which was 7 o'clock in the morning tomorrow, but Qiao Yiyu looked at the time, there was still an hour and a half, and shook his head: "No, the station is not far, let's walk over." ”

The manager disagreed: "It will be dangerous on the road!" In this case, I will have a few security guards take you there. ”

"It's fine." In fact, Qiao Yiyu felt that there was no danger, compared to his previous experience in China, some protests and demonstrations were just trivial.

This hotel is still relatively advanced, saying that it is to send two security guards, in fact, it is two soldiers, a question, and even have experience in urban anti-terrorism, protecting hostages or something is trivial - this can also be seen to some extent, the security cost of opening a hotel this year is not small.

The two soldiers were not very nervous, one after the other, they saw a few people on the road and greeted each other, and after going around a few streets, they suddenly saw a large number of people gathered at an intersection, shouting slogans in unison, and there were many small vehicles in the procession, with the boss's computer screen on the top of the car, which displayed slogans and some bright patterns. Many vehicles were blocked on one side of the road, and drivers were arguing with the marchers.

The two soldiers did not walk directly to the crowd, but took them around from a private house on the side, and after they walked for a while, Qiao Yiyu suddenly saw a long train queue in front of them, with police cars driving the road and fire trucks behind......

Soon after the convoy passed, Qiao Yiyu heard a loud call from the intersection just now, as well as the sound of the police's loudspeaker, and he couldn't understand a word of the content, but at a glance, he knew that this was obviously a big battle.

"It's more chaotic abroad than at home," Qiao Yiyu said, "so staying here is not a long-term solution." ”

was going to say that it would take an hour and a half, but after a while, he encountered several unmanned taxis together, and the two soldiers said they wouldn't sit - it was difficult for them to come out and walk for breath, but Qiao Yiyu insisted. No, it will be there in about ten minutes, and nothing will happen.

After sending the three of them into the station, the task of the two security guards was completed. When entering the waiting room, you need to swipe your ID card and passport, and then go directly to the waiting area to wait. Han Le's impression of the waiting area is still stuck in his time, with long rows of chairs and crowded crowds...... But when I arrived, I found that it was a café-like place, decorated in a very stylish manner, with fifty or sixty people sitting there, some holding computers and chatting online, and some sleeping.

"The main purpose of our trip to Switzerland is to save money," Qiao Yiyu sat down and roughly said the purpose of the trip, "There is a hibernation bank opened by the Polar Bears organization, which is not influenced by any government." In fact, Swiss banks are too, but it has official overtones after all. The main thing is to separate my money and save it for the two of them, Han Le, you don't have to touch it. ”

"Why?"

"Hibernators and anti-hibernation in this era are like fire and water," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "just in case, separate the eggs into several baskets." ”

"And then?" Han Le asked again.

"And then? Then we'll play in Switzerland for a few days now......" Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "I don't know how you guys feel now, I'm about to fall apart anyway." ”

Han Le and Su Pei laughed, in fact, Qiao Yiyu didn't say it, he also had plans in this regard: "I plan to go skiing, I heard that skiing in Switzerland, as well as paramotor sports are very famous." ”
