Chapter 11: The Messy Past
For a month, a large lake white fish.
A month, three thousand points on the black market.
This is one of the ways that Lu An has been able to feed himself and his sister's bellies for the past six years.
Is it illegal?
Lu An knew from the beginning that although he was still naïve and naïve at that time, he was not stupid, and the existence of the black market itself was illegal.
This is true of all people, everything, everything, everything.
According to my brother's comfort at the time, what exists is reasonable, what is reasonable may not be legal, what is legal may not be reasonable, and people often cannot have the right to choose at the same time, so they can only choose one of the two.
At first, Lu An was ignorant, but later Lu An gradually understood.
At that time, Lu An had already dared to be in broad daylight and didn't care about the dog's nose of those surface patrol teams.
Naturally, all this is the credit of my brother.
Lu An has always admired his brother like this, and since Lu An experienced those two embarrassing pasts, he has become more convinced of his brother's every word.
"One big lake white fish a month is enough."
This is what Lu An said to him on the night when he ran away from home for a month and seven days.
======
======
Lu An said a lot of things to his brother at that time, and his brother Lu Ning also told Lu An a lot of things, and he didn't have much memory of this sentence at that time until April of the following year.
April 17 is Anna's birthday, her twelfth birthday.
For Chinese people, this is a very important birthday, the first reincarnation of life in the world. Although Anna is not from Huaxia, Lu An wants her sister to have a good birthday.
After three days of patient waiting, Lu An finally caught a large lake white fish of one foot nine inches and more than six catties at noon the day before.
However, it was too big, and Lu An didn't have time to take it away, and was hit by the surface patrol team.
When Lu An connected with his brother with a crying voice, Lu Ning frowned and only said, "Don't move, wait a while." ”
Subsequently, Lu An was arrested by the surface patrol team.
Lu An sat in a daze in the surface patrol team's spaceship, and when the spacecraft landed, his legs were shaking, and his brother Lu Ning appeared in front of him in the uniform of the surface patrol team.
Blinking, signaling his younger brother to be quiet, Lu Ning showed the electronic voucher and took Lu An away.
Just outside the building of the Dahu Water Surface Inspection Team in Shanghai-Hangzhou City, Lu Ning was reluctant to blame his younger brother, but just patted his younger brother lightly on the shoulder and said a word.
"Anything beyond one's own needs is called greed, and greed kills people."
The big lake white fish, which was used as stolen goods, was finally exchanged for 5,000 points on the black market.
Anna had a happy birthday, and Lu An narrowly escaped life.
This time, Lu Ning didn't say anything more to his younger brother, nor did he repeat what he had warned his younger brother at the beginning, and that was the second time, when Lu An was sixteen years old.
======
======
Anna is a patient with fake death, which has always been Lu An's heart disease.
The disease of suspended animation is not really dead, but it can really kill people, and if the rescue is not timely, the disease of fake death becomes a real death.
When Anna was ten years old, she fell ill for the first time and fell to the ground. It was at that time that Lu An learned that his sister had suffered from this terminal illness because she had used a large dose of military emergency sedative.
When Anna just turned eleven years old, she was led away from home by Lu An, because at that time, she believed in Lu An's promise. Although that promise, in today's view, is naïve and naïve.
Anna's eleven years old were safe and sound, which made Lu An wonder if the doctor's diagnosis was wrong, or if Anna's illness had cured on its own.
However, the second month after her twelfth birthday, Anna slammed to the ground again, shattering all of Lu An's naïve fantasies.
And when Anna's thirteenth birthday was approaching, the damned disease of fake animation befell Anna again.
Later, Anna's attacks became more and more frequent.
Once a year, twice a year, three times a year, four times a year, five times a year, once a month......
Just this year, Lu An was already on the verge of despair.
He didn't want to go to the army for an internship, leaving Anna alone, who would take care of her? How can she be with her if she is gone, but she is on a distant alien planet and can't be with her?
Lu An experienced the death of his father, who died on a distant asteroid; Lu An experienced the death of his mother, she died in the arms of her brother, and when Lu An rushed over, he only saw his cold mother; Lu An experienced the death of his brother, and he never saw his brother at all.
Death is just a heart-rending feeling for Lu An, and it is not unacceptable.
Lu An didn't want to leave Anna alone in the near future, he wanted to stay with her until the last moment.
Therefore, although his homeroom teacher repeatedly persuaded himself to accept an internship in the army, he would be able to be recruited and appointed by the army in the future and give full play to his talents.
Therefore, in Lu An's heart, the importance of treating Anna is overwhelming.
======
======
When Lu An was sixteen years old, Anna had two attacks a year, and he vaguely began to feel a kind of worry in his heart, will there be more and faster diseases?
Lu An wanted to take his sister for a check-up, but he had just asked his grandmother for living expenses, and the stubborn young man didn't want to go to the home that he hated anymore to meet the old man he hated.
However, Lu An had no money.
If you want to have 10,000 points of money, I am afraid that only a dozen catties and more than three feet long can be exchanged for a large lake white fish, which was like that last time, let alone this time.
The lesson of the last time, Lu An kept it in mind.
However, there is never a shortage of opportunities to make money quickly on the black market, and no matter how much money you have, there will always be a chance to satisfy you, as long as you can pay the corresponding price.
For example, Lu An once saw that the old man he hated was worth more than 10 billion points. After all, the life of a marshal is worth 10 billion, and with the title of commander-in-chief, it must be even more valuable.
Lu An soon got his chance.
Someone offered 25,000 points for a turtle in the Great Lake.
The turtle is a more precious and rare aquatic resource than the white fish in the Great Lake, because of the inefficiency in deep-sea aquaculture and space farming, both of which are species that are not publicly available on the market, and are only available in the wild.
However, the wild resources are all under the watchful eye of those dogs.
But for Lu An, all this is just a patient wait.
However, to Lu An's surprise, as an aquatic species that is much more precious than the white fish in the Great Lake, all the turtles in the Great Lake are under key monitoring.
The more daily work of the surface patrol team is not to deal with people like Lu An who take risks, but to investigate, monitor, count and study the resources within the scope of the inspection.
The turtle caught by Lu An had monitoring equipment, and it was where the tortoise shell and tail were connected.
Facing the trajectory of the spaceship speeding from all directions on the map, Lu An had calmed down a lot and was no longer as weak and panicked as he was the first time.
connected with his brother and honestly informed him of the situation, and Lu Ning, just like last time, said simply, "Don't move, wait a while." ”
======
======
It's just that Lu An was much more unlucky this time than last time, and someone in the surface patrol team recognized Lu An.
After all, now that they dare to commit crimes under the noses of the surface patrol team, there are fewer and fewer people who commit crimes against the wind, and after a year, Lu An's appearance has not changed much, and it is not surprising that he is recognized by the surface patrol team stationed here.
"Little bunny, the dog is bold! Why didn't those dry eaters at the headquarters kill you last time? ”
The arrest of the person who violated the ban again caused an uproar among the surface inspectors of the Great Lake, who felt that their majesty had been violated.
"If you don't die, you don't even roll to the side with your tail between your legs, and you dare to come back? I've seen a lot of people who want money and don't want to die. Hey, it's the first time I've seen someone who asks for money like this. Come, tell me your name, and let me see ......"
"What? Have the courage to steal, but don't have the courage to admit it? ”
"You little bunny......"
……
When Lu Ning came to Shanghai-Hangzhou City again, he saw his younger brother who got off the spaceship.
How to describe it? The nose is blue and the face is swollen, and there is a pig's head.
"Why is it like this?" Lu Ning asked quietly while showing the electronic voucher.
"What did you do at the headquarters, this little rabbit cub, he was arrested last year, and he was arrested again this year. , if you don't fix him today, will you arrest him again next year? ”
"I really didn't say it, your headquarters is getting softer and softer now......"
"No way, there are some things, we have to carry them, otherwise you will do it?" Lu Ning asked with a smile.
"Yo ho, this little bunny seems to have a good background? Damn, I don't study well at a young age, and there is no one to raise in my life, so I ——, it, take it away quickly, and I'm upset when I look at it. ”
When Lu Ning led his younger brother to turn around, his face was already covered with frost and his face was ugly.
Just in the same place last time, Lu Ning said to his younger brother earnestly: "I said that one big lake white fish a month is enough. I have also said that greed kills others, not only to oneself but also to others. ”
"Have you forgotten?"
Seeing his brother's solemn face, Lu An lowered his head and explained honestly: "Anna had another illness last month, and I want to take her for a checkup." But, but, there was no money. ”
Lu Ning opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed and asked, "Who beat you just now?" Does it hurt? ”
"It's a little, but it doesn't hurt too much. All right. ”
"Go back and rub some medicine, don't run around for the next two days. Tell me about what happened on the ship. ”
"Hmm."
======
======
Since then, Lu An has kept in mind his brother's words.
It's just that when she went back with a blue nose and swollen face, Anna was startled, and although Lu An tried his best to hide it, he was still tricked out by his sister.
Anna cried for a long time that day, and Lu An couldn't persuade her.
Since then, Lu An has honestly followed his brother's instructions and never crossed the line again.
Even if he gritted his teeth and sold the villa left by his parents, he didn't think more about it like those two times.
In order to save the cost of treating Anna, he painstakingly found the medical center affiliated to the Third Military Academy, which had experience in treatment, passed the special entrance examination, and entered the Third Military Academy at the age of sixteen.
You know, in this era of entering school at the age of six, eight years of elementary school, eight years of middle school, and six years of college, entering college at the age of sixteen is like a doctorate in your twenties, which is absolutely rare.
However, Lu An did it.
