Chapter 287: Gentle Moonlight
Chapter 287: Gentle Moonlight
On the several tables that sat opposite each other for drinking tea in the afternoon, two food tables were placed at this time, and Lu An and Tanaka Baie sat cross-legged opposite each other.
On the dining table, the dishes of the two are exactly the same, but the amount on Lu An's plate is a little more than that of Tanaka Baie, Lu An took a look, but it was the traditional one juice and three dishes in the eleventh district - a salt-braised saury, a plate of minced meat stewed radish, a plate of seaweed, a bowl of miso soup, and a steaming rice.
"It's not autumn yet, so it's not the best season to eat saury, but I just got it at home, so I tried to make it, hoping it didn't taste too bad." Tanaka Momoe wiped the beads of sweat from the tip of his nose and said with a smile.
Then the two of them started, Lu An gently pierced the skin of the saury, picked up a piece of tight fish meat, and then praised with slight surprise: "This taste is really the original saury......"
Tanaka Momoe blinked and said, "What? β
Seeing her blank look, Lu An shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, this fish tastes very good." β
The so-called native is actually something that grows naturally, such as whitebait in the big lake and saury in the ocean, which are all things that grow freely in the wild. These wild creatures living in the interstellar age are much luckier than their ancestors who were endangered by overfishing and fishing.
In the era of great human chaos, many of the once abundant biological resources were destroyed, and although the exact number is no longer incalculable due to the large-scale destruction of the first catastrophe, it has been estimated that at least tens of thousands of species have been permanently annihilated in those chaotic times.
Later, people entered the interstellar age, and there were, in the space bases surrounded by the earth's outer space, there was a large-scale space farming industry, and those populations that were on the verge of extinction in the wild flourished again, and because of the existence of surface patrol teams, with a few exceptions, these wild creatures often simply competed for natural selection, birth, old age, sickness and death, unlike their ancestors who were often tragically "selected", or died from the endless blood basin of human greed, or died from the endless blood basin of human greed, or died from the endless blood basin of human greed, or died from the blazing and bottomless desire to kill.
Of course, not all creatures in the wild can live so leisurely, and there are always exceptions. For example, whitebait and white fish in the large lake will encounter such exceptions as Lu An, and there will be some saury in the wider ocean and deep sea, and there will be exceptions such as Tanaka Momoe.
In today's human society, the saury in today's Tanaka Hyakei plate and the white fish in the arms of Lu'an diving in the lake are precious and scarce.
Tanaka may have been accustomed to it since he was a child, and he didn't even know how these things seemed to be indistinguishable from the "new seasonal products of the space ranch" on the market, but Lu An knew it.
Of course, the white fish in the big lake are not easy to obtain, and at the risk of being caught by the surface patrol team at any time, you can get a few thousand points of money in the black market by taking one out of the water; The saury in the deep sea is even more rare than this, although the ocean is vast, it is more conducive to the inspection of the surface patrol team, and it is more difficult to escape, so the price of such a fish on the black market is often several times more expensive than that of white fish, but it is still priceless.
Those raw seafood that can really be eaten are semi-public privileges, and they are caught in a fixed number and extremely rare every year for the purpose of scientific research and monitoring, and seafood other than research specimens are naturally "gifted" to some people as "souvenirs", and rarely appear in the market for public circulation.
Lu An, who had traveled between these two worlds because of his runaway from home, knew the difference between them, and naturally saw these things clearly; And the eldest lady of the Tanaka family, who is rumored to have a stiff relationship with her family, doesn't understand this.
Lu An shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, it's still a big lady!" β
Hearing Lu An's praise, Tanaka Baie squinted his eyes and smiled: "This is the fish sent by Uncle Shimazu under the mountain this morning, when my grandfather was still in the past, the fresh catch every year was sent by their family, first it was Uncle Shimazu's father, and then it was Uncle Shimazu." You're here just in time for an early-season saury! β
After Tanaka Baie finished speaking, he introduced it with a smile: "This dish of minced meat and stewed radish is all produced by the Shimazu family, and their family is famous nearby!" β
Lu An raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "Famous? I'm afraid it's more than that......"
However, Lu An just nodded and smiled in admiration, and did not say anything, and after a polite greeting before the meal, he silently finished the meal.
After dinner, they drank tea and chatted about some topics, Lu An's life once spanned two classes, although his past life was difficult, but he had also heard and seen the life of the world in front of him, so he and Tanaka Baie, who seemed to be ignorant and naΓ―ve, still have topics that can be discussed.
Even in the midst of small talk, the two can vaguely find some distant intersections in their past lives, such as the children of a certain family, who used to be playmates with Lu An when he was young, and who had a close relationship with the Tanaka family, etc. It's just that Lu An only remembers the vague child's face, and Tanaka Baie has only heard his name for a long time and has not seen him.
But this is still enough, enough for the two of them to sigh in the moonlight and the chirping of cicadas, "This huge world is really amazingly small!" β
It wasn't until the moon rose on the willow tops that the two yawned in unison that they understood that the night was late. Accompanied by the croaking of frogs, the two of them said good night, and Tanaka Baie pointed to the room where Lu An was resting, and then they rested separately.
Lu An, who came to the guest room to rest, had no intention of sleeping, sitting cross-legged on the traditional tatami mats in the eleventh district, erecting wooden flute screen windows, under the bright moonlight in the courtyard, some smooth insects flew outside the room, and only in the dark place where the moonlight could not shine could you see a flickering cold light.
"Fireflies?"
Lu An stared at the flickering light in the darkness, stunned, he felt like these flying but unconscious fireflies, obviously the bright light could reach out and touch, but he wanted to stubbornly release the light in the dark.
"Perhaps, I'm just like these unaware fireflies, stubbornly staying in the dark and emitting some meaningless light, right?"
But then, Lu An sneered to himself, stared at the bright moonlight shining outside, and argued in his heart: "But those insects in the moonlight, who knows that the seemingly warm light outside is so cold?" I just stole some of the sun's rays and thought the world was illuminated by myself......"
After hearing the continuous sound of frogs chirping in the pond outside the courtyard, Lu Anxin's sneer was even worse, and he said: "Besides, it's not that there is no opposition at all, there are always some frogs protesting!" β
Then, Lu An stared at the glowing fireflies in the darkness and was silent.
"Why do these fireflies have to glow? Why bother......
The night is so beautiful that there is no sleep here.
Until the willows under the moon, the cicadas and frogs were slightly sparse, Lu An's eyes became more and more intense, and the wisdom brain on his wrist was vibrating slightly, making a faint buzzing sound in the guest room.
opened the communication connection, but it was Lu An's former roommate "Lin Dashao". "Lin Dashao" had long hair and shawl at this time, scattered and a little wet, as if he had just bathed, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, and Lin Yonghuan's short hair was already shoulder-length.
Lu An has not seen Lin Yonghuan for a long time.
The last time the two met in the hospital on Mars, Lu An had just undergone surgery due to a comminuted fracture of the little finger of his left hand, and his former roommate at that time appeared in the form of Lin Yongping. Unexpectedly, when I said goodbye, it was Lin Yonghuan, who had long hair and shoulder-length.
Lu An's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't ask anything, just greeted: "Long time no see." β
Lin Yonghuan looked at Lu An, who was expressionless, and said with a smile: "Yes, I said goodbye to the lake last time, and I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Speaking of which, the last time Lin Yonghuan appeared in front of Lu An, it was the beauty under the moon on the beach of a small island in the big lake.
Lu An lowered his head and said, "Yes." β
After a short silence, Lin Yonghuan said, "I have already done what you asked for last time, and no one will bother her in the future." β
Lu An smiled reluctantly: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be at ease to leave Mars." β
Lin Yongwan saw that Lu An just raised her head, smiled at herself and then lowered her head slightly, but her eyes were lowered, and she also turned her eyes to look down, and said, "She ......, don't be too sad." β
"Hmm." Lu An smiled reluctantly.
"How is your recovery after your last surgery? Is there a ......?"
Lu An raised his head and interrupted: "Actually, it's okay anymore, it's just occasionally uncomfortable now, don't worry." β
Lin Yonghuan, who was in the hologram in the communication connection, lowered her head, as if looking at her toes, and was silent for a moment before saying: "That's good, in addition, I have already found out some eyebrows about the things you asked me to do." β
Lu An straightened up slightly, leaned forward and asked, "How is it?" β
Lin Yonghuan asked rhetorically: "Are you in District 11 now?" β
"I'm in her guest room." Lu An said, turning his wrist and scanning the room.
Lin Yonghuan heard Lu An say this, opened her mouth slightly, and then said hurriedly: "This woman is not very credible, you asked me to check her and that Xiaolin Zhengxin before, although I don't know what you want to do, but the two of them seem to have come together now, and you ......are now in her house."
Lu An frowned slightly and said, "The two of them? β
Lin Yonghuan said hurriedly: "Although to be precise, it is indeed the two of them. But the last time you investigated the two, I just got the news, just before you came back a month ago, the two families had already contacted privately, and it should be to discuss the marriage of Tanaka Baie and Kobayashi Masanshin......"
"What?" Lu An was directly stunned, and subconsciously asked.
Lin Yonghuan saw that Lu An was so shocked, and hurriedly said: "According to reliable sources, more than a month ago, Kobayashi Masashi had expressed his intention to marry Tanaka Heijiro and wanted to ask Tanaka's family to marry Tanaka Baie, and although Tanaka Heijiro has not officially agreed, he still has an ambiguous attitude, but he seems to have agreed to this marriage these days. β
Lu Anxin tightened, and he heard the meaning of Lin Yonghuan's words.
Lin Yongwan naturally knew in her heart that Lu An asked her to help investigate these two people, but he was suspicious and unsure of the current status of these two people.
Although these two people seem to have nothing to do with Lu An, from the fact that Lu An is extremely sad and still does not forget to investigate two unrelated people, Lin Yonghuan can guess some clues; Although she didn't know what Lu An had experienced in the asteroid belt, she could guess a thing or two from the woman who was buried in the Martian man.
"Su Ruyu, Su Ruyu ......"
Lin Yonghuan sighed, and after getting the news, she didn't even have time to hide her makeup a little, so she hurriedly notified Lu An. And she originally thought that Lu An had just quietly come to District 11, but she didn't expect Lu An to be in Tanaka Baie's home.
Lin Yonghuan was as worried as Lu An at this time, and the same reaction lingered in her heart.
I'm afraid that Momoe Tanaka's home is no longer safe!
