Chapter 15: Return to Earth
"Don't get too excited." Yuan Li glanced at Erin and said, "I'm just giving you a choice." The money still has to be repaid, this is a matter of principle. ”
"What choice?" For the first time, there was a real eagerness in Erin's eyes.
"I can give you a chance to stay on Earth," Yuan Li said indifferently, "I can introduce you to a job, but part of your salary will have to pay off my debts." Or you can leave it as it is and stay on the ship and do the coolies for me. ”
"You're still ...... Want to sell me? Erin asked tentatively.
Yuan Li glanced at her, "You can sell for some money, but to be honest, you are not as valuable as any animal in my warehouse." ”
Erin frowned, a hint of anger on her face.
"So be it." Yuan Li suddenly said, "After arriving on Earth, you will act with us, and I can return your broken computer to you after getting off the spaceship." I won't do anything to force you during this time. Just to familiarize you with the home of the earth that you have in mind, and by the way, I will show you the places I am going to introduce you to. ”
"I still need my clothes." Erin paused and said, "The cloak and my voice changer." ”
Yuan Li thought for a moment, "Yes, but I've already dealt with that rag, you can use the fabric on the ship to make a set of camouflage yourself." ”
Erin nodded and acquiesced.
"We'll have four and a half days to fly to Earth, and you can think about where you're going to stay during that time, but you still have to do the work, understand?"
"I know." Erin's expression was a little heavy, "Yuan Li, you told me not to have expectations for the current earth, so...... Where is Earth worse than Byron? ”
"It's not a big difference." Yuan Li shook his head and said, "It's just that there are more of our kind on Earth, that's all." ”
Erin stopped talking, seemingly lost in thought.
Yuan Li took the fried eggs out of the pot and put them on the table, and then said to Erin, "I'll call grandpa to eat, you remember to cook the compressed grain." You've got some talent for the kitchen. ”
"I'll go!" Dove suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, "Captain! Are you boasting about people?! Oh my God! ”
Yuan Li glared at Dove, "Shut your stinky mouth!" ”
Dove was startled and immediately covered his mouth with his oil-stained hands.
"Hand wash before eating! Don't touch around! ”
"Uh-huh! (Yes Captain!)"
Yuan Li sighed helplessly and walked to his grandfather's room.
"Hey! Girl! Dove walked to the side of the pool and began to clean the oil on his hands, "What did Yuan Li tell you?" ”
"Ah, nothing." Erin was a little frightened by Dove who suddenly spoke.
"Don't be in a daze in the kitchen," Dove said as he cleaned up, "Yuan Li doesn't like that. ”
"Hey, Dove." Erin suddenly asked, "Why did you stay on this ship?" ”
"Me?" Dove burst out laughing, "I can't help but stay, hahahahaha!" ”
"No way?"
"Anyway...... Dad doesn't love it, my mother doesn't love it, I can't get mixed up on the dwarf star, so I got on the boat. ”
"So Yuan Li's criteria for selecting crew members don't seem to be very high?"
"Fart!" Dove suddenly roared, "I'm one of the best geniuses on the dwarf planet, okay?" I'm the best inventor of the new generation of gnomes! Not too demanding? You say I'm not too demanding? ”
"Oh...... That's right. Then you still can't get along? ”
Dove was suddenly stunned, and after a while, he began to silently lower his head and wash his hands, "Girl, I'll tell you that you don't have friends like this." But...... Yuan Li doesn't care much about these glories. ”
"I don't think you seem to have answered my question, I'm asking why you chose to stay on board?"
"He accepted me, I stayed, it's as simple as that." The two were silent for a moment, and Dove suddenly said, "Girl." The Earth is not a good place to go right now. Find a way to stay, and you won't regret it. I can see that Yuan Li feels good about you. ”
"Feel good about me?" Erin had a question mark on her face, "Why can't I see that?" ”
"He's a piece of wood, and you can see it after a long time. But for now, you just don't him off. Dove smiled, "No nonsense, what's breakfast today?" I'm dying of hunger! ”
……
For the next four days, the ship seemed to return to its usual order, and Yuan Li's life was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, except for the occasional trip to the warehouse to check the health of the ingredients, or to take care of the vegetable garden.
In the past four days, he and Erin have not had any contact, and the daily teaching is directly lost to Dove and Boiling, Erin also put away her clumsy acting skills, and does her duty conscientiously, while Yuan Li silently observes everything.
For Erin, perhaps her only pleasure during this time was watching the Earth grow in front of her eyes outside the window.
It's just that now, when the earth hometown that she longs for really appears in front of her, Erin's mood is a little delicate.
No, it's not so much subtle as a little disappointing.
The earth in front of me doesn't seem to be the same as the beautiful blue planet that my parents once told me.
They say that the homeland called the earth is the most beautiful planet in the whole universe, the surface of the planet is covered by azure water, floating outside the sea water is white clouds, and those green parts are the land where human beings live.
But now, the planet she saw was an ugly rust color, the blue parts didn't seem to be as much as she imagined, and the clouds were not as white as she imagined......
"Alright, the login permission has been obtained." Yuan Li sat back in the captain's seat and turned off the communicator, "Everyone sit down, prepare to land on Earth." ”
When Yuan Li's Noah broke through the Earth's atmosphere and entered the Earth, Erin really felt like she was back in Byron for a moment.
It's just that there are a lot of towering buildings and small flying machines that drive between the tall buildings.
When Yuan Li's spaceship began to fly smoothly, Erin couldn't sit still, and it was impossible for a person born in a desolate place like Byron to see such a scene.
And although Yuan Li and they don't return to the earth often, they are still very clear about the current appearance of the earth.
Yuan Li unhurriedly drove the spacecraft to the Asian port, which was built directly on the Pacific Ocean, but it didn't take long to carry a small aircraft into land.
After undergoing a simple immigration inspection at the port, Yuan Li and the others got into their own small aircraft and prepared to enter the residential area.
It's just that even if he returns to Earth, the plant seeds that Raphael wants are not easy to find......
