Chapter 10: The Past

"Lu An, what are your plans after graduation?"

"Graduation? Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it. ”

"Huh?" Lin Yongping was surprised: "If you don't go to the army for internship, you should have to think about graduation." ”

Lu An sighed: "Originally, I didn't plan to go to the army for an internship. However, there was no way, someone told me that as long as I went to the internship, ,......, would give me a large sum of money. As you know, Anna's illness still needs to be cured. I was thinking that I would graduate early and be able to make money. ”

"I see."

Lin Yongping nodded thoughtfully.

Anna Jeslot, Lu An's younger sister, is said to be the adopted daughter of his father's former adoption.

As for why the daughter of the Jeslot family was adopted by Lu An's father, Lin Yongping does not know.

However, every time Anna fell ill and Lu An was in dire straits, he would always go out for a day or two, and then he would bring back enough money for Anna's treatment.

Lin Yongping could more or less guess that Lu An must have gone home.

Lin Yongping knew that Lu An's parents died, and three years ago, his brother also died. Except for my sister, I basically haven't heard of other relatives.

As for Lu An's vague "home", Lin Yongping was also curious.

With the Lin family's methods, if he wanted to know, he might be able to easily learn Lu An's origin.

It's just that he is used to hiding secrets, and he hates this kind of behavior very much, not to mention that the peace and quiet situation in the past four years has made him a little nostalgic and doesn't want to break this relationship.

Lu An is his roommate, and he considers him a friend, which is enough, isn't it?

As for the relationship between Lu An's sister and the Jeslot family on Mars, what is the background of Lu An's family, etc., Lin Yongping believes that if Lu An wants to let himself know, he will always tell himself.

If they are really friends, four years of getting along is just the beginning, so why rush for a while?

"And where are you going?"

"I don't know, I probably don't count if I say it." Lu An turned off the holographic projection, shrugged his shoulders at Lin Yongping, and said helplessly: "Controlled by others, I can't help myself." ”

"Well, I wish we could be assigned an internship together."

"I hope so."

Lin Yongping nodded, walked away and went to wash himself, leaving Lu An alone to bury his head in the huge and complicated information on the Internet.

"I'm going out to eat, what do you want to eat, do you want me to bring some back for you?"

Lu An shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just eat some energy nutrients to fill my hunger in a while." ”

"What the hell ......"

Lu An pointed to the holographic projection.

"It's a bit of a hassle, and today I want to get this right."

"Well, then I'm out, goodbye."

Lin Yongping went out, and the living room returned to calm, only the friction sound of Lu An occasionally adjusting his posture on the sofa, as well as the sound of occasional inhalation and occasional sighing.

The sunlight outside the window gradually intensified, and the window of the living room gradually changed color, blocking the dazzling midday sun from the living room. Gradually, the shadow of the sun shifted to the east, and the color of the windows began to fade again, so that the light in the room remained soft and not harsh.

When Lu An raised his head and noticed the change of time outside the window, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight no longer shone directly on the window, but only left a long oblique shadow in the window.

"I ......"

Before Lu An's cursing words could be spoken, he remembered that it was a message left by his father and brother, and he put away the swear words in the back.

However, this made him even more irritable.

He couldn't understand why he was so stupid and didn't have a clue for so long, and his father and brother must have something to tell him urgently.

I even delayed receiving my birthday wishes for a day, so could it be that such a message would have to be delayed for a long time.

He slapped the table in front of him in annoyance, and even had the urge to smash the brain on his wrist, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy another one, so he had to endure the urge again.

Lu An rolled off the sofa, stood up in the living room, and circled around the sofa twice, feeling even more irritable.

At this moment, Anna's holographic projection popped up directly from Lu An's brain.

"Brother, brother, what are you doing now?"

Anna's mischievous voice came out.

Due to Anna's special situation, her communication connection was directly set up by Lu An to be directly connected and pop up, no matter when and where, as long as Anna called him, she could find him.

Lu An, who was irritable and manic like a trapped beast, quickly calmed down the expression on his face, and when he looked at Anna again, he was already squinting and smiling.

"Anna, my brother was bored just now, and wanted to go swimming in the big lake secretly, but unfortunately it was too hot, and I didn't want to run over against the sun. Brother, I'm hesitating. ”

"Brother, don't you want to steal fish again?"

Anna pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "It's too dangerous, and it's easy to catch." Don't go. ”

"It's okay, you see my brother is not fine until now." Lu An said with a grin.

"That's not allowed. How many times have you been before, if it weren't for Uncle Liu,......, do you know how worried I am? ”

"Don't cry, don't cry, my brother really just went swimming, not stealing fish. Really, really, if you don't believe me, you go with me and supervise me, okay? ”

Anna burst into tears and smiled, "Okay, I'll go look for you." ”

"You, you definitely did it on purpose." Lu An replied angrily: "I'll go look for you, it's too hot outside, don't run around." ”

When the holographic projection was turned off, Lu An's face suddenly gloomy, and he stood for a long time before he sighed, took out the crumpled piece of paper, went back to the room and locked it up, and then went out to pick up his sister at home.

======

======

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set west to the point of laziness, and Lu An took his sister to the big lake behind the school.

Although it was past the most sultry time in the afternoon, the world was still like an oven, and its residual temperature still made the people walking in it sweat and dry.

Anna was very interested along the way, pulling her brother to chirp and chatter, but Lu Anxin was a little depressed, and there was always some absent-mindedness between conversations, which made Anna very dissatisfied.

The largest island in the Great Lake, Xishan Island, is located close to the eastern shore of the Great Lake, separated by an inlet near the eastern shore, which is divided into north and south by a long peninsula deep into the lake.

The Third Military Academy is located on the southeast corner of the Great Lake, and the southern half of the inlet is included in the campus area of the Third Military Academy.

Three hundred years ago, due to the success of the human space program, the pressure on the earth's population and natural resources was greatly eased, and the Supreme Council passed the "Regulations on the Comprehensive Protection of the Earth's Water Bodies", which strictly restricted all fishing and breeding activities except for the concession waters.

Later, with the emergence of high-efficiency deep-sea aquaculture and space aquaculture technology, the protection of the earth's water bodies was even more strict, and the earth's surface patrol team was the same as the anti-smuggling team in space.

Once, some people used personal portable deep diving equipment to poach and steal fish on the ocean, and after being discovered by the surface patrol team, they fled from the Pacific Ocean in Zone 1 to the Atlantic Ocean in Zone 8, and then fled to the Indian Ocean in Zone 22, and finally had to hide in the ice and snow of Antarctica, but they never escaped the pursuit of the surface patrol team for five days and four nights.

Of course, the guy who is said to have a deep background ended up miserable.

He was sentenced to more than 500 years in prison and sent to Antarctica by surface patrols to do penguiin feeding, but in the end he was inexplicably fed to the penguins himself.

This is the same as the deeds of the space smuggling team that ran fifteen laps around the asteroid belt and captured a smuggling spaceship, but the anti-smuggling team was no more gentle than the gentle surface patrol team, and the smuggling ship was directly destroyed in space before it was about to surrender.

The Great Lake is located on the outskirts of Shanghai-Hangzhou United City, on the verge of a large metropolis with a population of hundreds of millions.

However, a long, long time ago, there was a great man who said that as long as it is profitable, people will take risks, even if it is trampling on the law, even if it is hanging, it will not stop people.

This passage was heard by Lu An from his brother.

Back then, when Lu Ning passed a map to his younger brother, he comforted his younger brother like this.

======

======

That map is now on Lu An's brain.

The reason why Lu An dared to risk the world's condemnation and sneak into the inlet behind the school every month to steal fish was because he had his brother's map.

The map will tell Lu An in real time the route of the surface patrol team's spacecraft, as well as the distribution of fish in the Great Lake at different times of the year.

Moreover, even after Lu Ning's death, the real-time dynamics of this map have never gone wrong.

In the past, Lu An was naΓ―ve and ignorant, and his dependence on his brother made him never think about it, but the more he learned about it, the more Lu An worshiped his brother. Is there any other explanation for such a thing than to show that my brother's brain technology is superb?

At the age of fourteen, Lu An ran away from home and was weak, and it was almost impossible for him to support Anna.

The other fourteen-year-old teenagers have just graduated from elementary school, and they are at the age of innocence, how can Lu An's immature shoulders support the burden of two people?

He needs money, he needs money to feed Anna.

When Lu An said this request to his brother, Lu Ning was silent for a long time before telling Lu An that it was natural for his brother to support his younger brother, but if Lu An really wanted to support his sister, then he had to rely on his own hands.

"But what should I do?"

Lu An muttered at the time.

"There is no fast, safe, and stable way to make money in this world, what do you want?"

"Soon, the sooner the better."

The next day, Lu An received the map from his brother.

He didn't understand what it was for.

It wasn't until one day, when Lu An took his parents' relics and went to the black market to exchange money, that he accidentally learned that a wild white fish in the big lake was worth 3,000 points.

Three thousand, my God, that's enough for me and Anna to eat and drink for more than a month.

So, on the night of the next day, Lu An sneaked away to the Great Lake.

However, the night was dark, and he could not swim, so he left empty-handed with hope, full of disappointment.

On the night of the third day, Lu An slipped away to the big lake again, hoping to hand in good luck, but naturally returned empty-handed.

However, a personal portable deep submersible costs 5,000 points, and Lu An really can't afford it.

Lu An already understood at this time that if he only wanted to rely on luck, he and his sister would probably have to drink the northwest wind next month. What if you can't swim? Learn.

After Lu An drank the water of the Hujiang River in front of the door, he slipped out to drink the water of the big lake, and when he was used to the taste of the water of the big lake, he was surprised to find that swimming was so simple, it was only ten days, and he learned it.

In the middle of the second month when Lu An ran away from home, that night he held a one-foot-long white fish in the big lake in exchange for 2,000 points of money, saying goodbye to the worry of making his sister hungry forever.

At that time, Lu An was just fourteen years old and ran away from home for a month and seven days.
