Chapter 22: The Old Lady

The station's hemispherical artificial sky is covered with shining sun lamps, and the flowers and plants on the ground grow luxuriantly, making people feel warm like spring.

Not far away is a building made of silver-white metal frames and fuchsia walls, and although the five teenagers don't know anything about the exaggerated and distorted text on the walls, the pictures of the colorful various foods can be seen at a glance: it is the space station restaurant.

The sheriff had told them that Old Lady Mul was on his way to the space station, and asked them to wait in the station's only restaurant.

Walking into the dining room, five teenagers sat down at an empty table.

In the huge dining room, there were only a few creatures dining, and although they had different skin colors, appearances, and dresses, their every move looked elegant and decent.

There is not a single waiter in the restaurant, and the diners themselves take food from a machine full of various foods, insert a card into the panel of the machine, and after a while, the food they want will automatically run out of the machine.

Kapok looked at it intently for a while, and whispered to his companions, "Hey, I feel hungry when I see that they are eating well, can we also get some delicious food from those machines?"

Wang Fan shook his head and whispered: "No, the food here is not free, you see that they have to insert a bank card and so on to pay first, and then the machine will give them the food they want." Do you know what a bank card is? ”

Wang Fan thought that he could be a teacher and talk to his peers about the high technology of the earth world.

Unexpectedly, Zhen'er said: "Wang Fan, I have already told them a few times about the experience of going to that mountain city with you, and they understand a little bit. ”

Shanglin laughed in a low voice: "Wang Fan, when you get to Russ Star, you will be our leader, because you must understand everything before us, after all, the Earth World is a moderately developed planet, and besides, my grandfather Ha'er said in the book that the Earth and Russ are twins in the starry sky." ”

Wang Fan saw that his companions were looking at him with anticipation and envy, and immediately straightened his chest and said seriously: "Okay, I don't dare to say anything else when I get to Rusxing, but I will definitely learn how to spend money on shopping." ”

The companions all covered their mouths and snickered.

The five of them sat in the restaurant and waited for about half an hour, when a blue-faced old man with a cane walked in from outside the restaurant, although he was not tall but had a well-proportioned body.

The old man wore a hat on his head, which resembled the language cap worn by the sheriff. Immediately behind the old man was an intelligent person with a green body and a blue face, and the facial features of the intelligent person were quite similar to those of the old man.

Shanglin immediately stood up, stepped forward, took the old man's hand, and called out affectionately, "Master! I'm Kamibayashi! ”

The old man patted Shanglin's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Shanglin, child, welcome home!" ”

"Hello master!"

Wang Fan, Yama, Zhen'er, and Kapok stepped forward to say hello together.

The old man smiled: "This young lady must be Yama, this young lady is the princess Zhen'er of Baguo, let me think about it, this young man from the earth is called Wang Fan, and this big man is called Kapok." ”

The intelligent man behind the old man said in a deep and powerful baritone: "Mr. Moore, you are all right! The appearance of the five little ones is exactly the same as the image sent to us by Sheriff Polk. ”

The old man said happily: "Children, let me introduce you, this is my housekeeper, you can call him Mu Lu, and he will take care of your life in the future." Let's go, Mulu has prepared a lot of delicious food for you on the ship. ”

On the tarmac outside the restaurant, there are several large and small spaceships parked, and one of them is a red one that stands out. The ship was twice as large as the other smaller ships, with several lines of golden characters written on the ruby red surface of the ship, and a golden gangway reaching to the ground.

Mu Lu pointed with his hand and said, "You see, that big red spaceship is Mr. Muer's, and it is the highest-level of Russ's private spaceship. However, if Mr. Moore had sent me to buy a spaceship instead of Muhong, I would have chosen green, and I think the green spaceship would look better. ”

As soon as everyone walked under the red spaceship, out of the door of the spaceship came a blue-faced and red-bodied intelligent person, whose facial features were more like a woman.

She waved to the people on the ground and said in a pleasant female voice, "Welcome to Mr. Moore's great-grandson and his friends, and hope that we will soon become good friends!" ”

"She's Mu Hong!" Mu Lu introduced to the guests.

"Mu Hong is my personal assistant to help me with my work." Mul added.

Shanglin waved his hand to the top and shouted, "Mu Hong, thank you!" ”

The interior of the ship's cabin is decorated like a spacious and comfortable living room.

Mu Hong sat in the wheelhouse and drove the spaceship, the old man and the five teenagers sat on the sofa chair and talked, and Mu Lu brought out a large pile of snacks and drinks from the kitchen and put them on the coffee table.

The teenagers immediately started eating, and the wolfing appearance of Kapok made Mul watch from the sidelines and couldn't close his mouth.

Mu Lu observed for a while, and said in a serious tone: "Kapok, your method of eating food is very unscientific!" Most of the food that goes into your mouth is not processed by your teeth and swallows most of it directly into your stomach, which will cause your stomach to be overworked, and in the long run, the end result is that your teeth will degenerate and your stomach will fail, and you will not be able to eat any food in the future. ”

Kapok's hand throwing snacks into his mouth stopped in the air, and he looked at Mu Lu and said with a shocked face, "What you said is true?" ”

Mu Lu nodded solemnly, "Of course it's true!" If you don't believe me, you ask Mr. Mull. ”

Mu Er smiled: "Children, listen to Mu Lu's words, Mu Lu is a wise and intelligent person, and he is very proficient in the health of our biological people. ”

Mu Lu said in a smug tone: "Thank you, Mr. Muer, for the compliment!" Five, before you get home, I would like to warn you that, because of your age, you are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages for three years from this day onwards. ”

"Ahh Can't drink alcohol? Kapok said in surprise.

Muer smiled and asked, "Kapok, is there anything wrong with not drinking?" ”

Kapok Zi hurriedly said seriously: "Master, it's okay not to drink, I don't have any problems." ”

Kapok's four companions looked at each other and smiled heartily.

When the boys had eaten and drunk enough, Mul went to the forest to tell him the story of Har.

"I regret that I shouldn't have encouraged him to go on an interstellar trip." Mul sighed.

"Grandpa Hal also thought about going home every day when he was alive, and he always hoped that one day Grandpa would go to Vena Star to find him." Kamibayashi said.

"I've been trying to find him for many years since he disappeared!" "Shortly after Hal disappeared, his mother and I immediately approached Mr. Yuri, the space sheriff of the seventh space, and asked him to find Howl. When Mr. Yuri told us that Hal could not be reached by any means, we began to worry that Hal had little chance of surviving.

The purpose of Howl's interstellar trip was to take Princess Jane back to Pakistan to visit relatives and friends, so I asked the Space Police to search for the Golden Star carefully, and I got on Sheriff Yuri's spaceship and entered the planet's space, and the ship circled the planet and did a full scan of its surface, but found no whereabouts of Howl's ship.

Based on this, we believe that Hal had an accident on the way. I paid for the Space Police to scan all the planets on the way from Russ to Gold, but still found no trace of Howl's spacecraft. Eventually, the Space Police concluded that it was very likely that Howl's spacecraft exploded in mid-air and disintegrated into space junk, or that the spacecraft had lost control and crashed into the deep seabed or land depths of a planet in Seventh Space, which could not be detected.

Hal himself is unlucky, because if Hal were alive, he would have used his space pass to contact the space sheriff patrolling the seventh space. ”

Mur said this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Kamibayashi said: "Grandpa Hal said in the book that he made a serious mistake at the moment when the spacecraft suddenly went out of control, and he activated the escape device without holding the space pass in his hand. When he realized this, the ship had already departed from him. But in the book, he also said that because of this mistake, he and Princess Jane stayed on the purple planet, and they were fortunate enough to bring the seeds of civilization to this planet, realizing the dream given to him by the brilliant starry sky of his childhood, and he became the king of heaven on a planet, and the only regret that made him regret that Princess Jane died too early. ”

Mul sighed, "Because that mistake made me and his mother sad for many years, it was also a sad mistake. Kamibayashi, Sheriff Polk's assistant has told me about your search for Howl's spaceship, and what I want to hear most now is the story of Hal and Princess Jane after they landed on the Purple Planet. ”

The rest of the time is for Kabayashi to tell the story of the princess god and the king, and everyone else listens intently.

Mu'er's expression was like that of a child who loved to listen to stories, although Kapok, Yama, and Zhen'er already knew the content of the story, they were still fascinated by it, Wang Fan had never heard of it before, so he listened attentively to every word that Shanglin said.

The listeners were nervous when they heard that Hal and Jane were in danger, and when they heard about their wonderful success, the cabin immediately erupted in cheers

Time passes imperceptibly.

"Guys, we're home!"

Mu Hong's shout sent everyone's thoughts from the prairie back to the spaceship.
