In the end, under the soft grinding and hard foaming of Hillman Hiros, the iron slag reluctantly agreed to his request. Although the combat power of second-order psionics is limited, they can also wear the first-generation psionic power armor, which is much stronger than ordinary marines. Not to mention what role it can play, at least self-protection is no problem. Then, Iron Slag called an entourage with a communicator and told him to wait for Hillman to pack his bags and then send him to Sparrowhawk 3 to standby.

After arranging things, Iron Slag went down the low mountain alone and walked towards the central street of Sand City.

About half an hour later, Iron Slag came to a 50- or 60-storey building with an all-glass façade. As far as the eye can see, the building is unusually large, taking up a third of the block. Judging from the sign in front of the building, this is the headquarters of the Great Wall Company. The purpose of his coming here was to find Qin Feng and ask him to arrange Ye Xinling's father's work. That night, he overheard the conversation between Ye Xinyun and Ye's mother on the rooftop, and learned about the predicament their family was facing.

Tie Slag stood in front of the building and dialed Qin Feng's voice. Moments later, the latter trotted out of the building and came to the former.

"Lord Iron Slag, please come in and sit down." Qin Feng invited.

Iron Slag shook his head, saying that he was about to leave, and that he had come here to ask him for something. Qin Feng asked what was going on, and he would definitely do his best. Iron Slag didn't speak, but took out a note from his coat pocket and handed it to him. Qin Feng immediately opened the note, took a closer look, and saw a name surnamed Ye written crookedly on it.

"This is ......" Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the iron slag and hesitated.

"The father of a friend of mine may have twisted his waist some time ago and can't do heavy work, so you arrange a janitorial job for him." Iron Slag said.

"Okay." Qin Feng nodded solemnly. Afterwards, the two chatted for a while on the topic of the use of mechanical power armor, and then separated.

After an hour......

Iron Slag returned to the south gate of Sand City, and was about to leave the city, but saw a slightly familiar figure standing next to the gate.

After seeing him, the other party immediately greeted him, was silent in front of him for a while, looked down at the ground, and asked with a little hesitation: "Brother Tie, please tell me, is my sister already ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky, and after a while, he whispered, "It's no longer there......"

Iron Slag's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at the young man coldly.

"I just want to hear the truth." The boy stubbornly pleaded.

After a moment of silence, Iron Slag nodded slowly.

In an instant, the young man in front of him almost stood unsteadily, only to see the hot tears pouring out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"You're so strong, why don't you protect her, why!" Ye Xinyun's eyes were red and he roared heartbreakingly.

In the face of the young man's questioning, the iron slag did not speak, but just looked at the other party quietly. Because he knows that whatever he says at this moment is just an excuse.

Perhaps because of a premonition, it didn't take long for the boy to regain his composure. After wiping away his tears, he took out a yellowed letter from his white-washed school uniform and handed it to Iron Slag.

Tie Slag took the letter and did not open it immediately, but looked at Ye Xinyun suspiciously, and the latter immediately explained, "This is the letter that my sister sent home three years ago, please take a look." ”

Iron Slag nodded, then pulled out the letterhead. When I opened the yellowed paper, lines of handwriting suddenly appeared in front of me......

"Dear brother,

I haven't seen you for a few months, I don't know if you've grown taller.

Father, mother, are they all okay?

Xinling is doing well now, so please don't worry about them, and I will go back to see them when the time is right.

In addition, dear brother, my sister would like to tell you a little secret, and while sharing it with you, please keep it a secret.

I fell in love with a little guy, a little guy who would become a big guy in the future. At this moment, he is like a fledgling eagle. I want to be with him and be a feather for him. When he spreads his wings and soars for nine days, he appreciates the scenery above the clouds.

How beautiful would that be......

Although I know that I am just an ordinary woman, I may become a burden to him, or I may die on the journey. Just like an eagle soaring into the sky, it will always be accompanied by a few falling feathers.

However, if that day comes, I still won't regret the choice I made at this moment. I believe that if I die for him, he will also take care of my family for me. Maybe at that time, his words and eyes will be worth my life's work.

So, dear brother, please forgive my sister for her willfulness and selfishness, and leave you to chase this unattainable dream.

Please forgive me for giving him all the love I have left in this life......"

After reading the letter, Iron Slag fell into a long silence, and everything that had been forgotten came to his heart again. He couldn't help but think of that winter, when they soaked in the bucket of hot water burning with firewood, watching the snowflakes falling slowly, they burrowed into the warm nest, grinding their ears and sideburns, whispering. Her clever smile and her soft fingers are unforgettable. Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, she is just a weed that can be seen everywhere in the wasteland, but for him, she is a unique weed in the world, an irreplaceable existence.

"Please let me follow you, and I will take the place of my sister to see the scenery on the clouds." Ye Xinyun burst into tears and pleaded with the iron slag.

"You're gone, what about your parents?" Iron Slag asked. He is cumin and has nothing to worry about, but Ye Xinyun is different, he still has a home and parents.

Just as Iron Slag thought, Ye Xinyun was silent. After a long time, Ye Xinyun raised his head and said loudly: "Teach me how to become stronger, one day, I will become a strong man like you, standing above that cloud!" ”

Iron Slag stared at him for a moment, then turned around and said as he walked towards the city, "Follow me." ”

Subsequently, Iron Slag took Ye Xinyun through the factory area where the whistle was blowing, walked through the noisy central street, walked into the alley for a while, and came to Master Niu's second-hand firearms shop.

"Teach him something." Iron Slag said.

"Okay." The old man, who was wiping the parts, raised his head, gave the boy a casual look, and agreed. The people of Iron Mountain Town are always so simple, straightforward, a casual word, a casual promise, is a lifetime, is a lifetime.

"I'm leaving, take care." After saying that, the iron slag turned around and left, without stopping for a moment.

"Iron boy, have a nice trip." After a while, the old man put down the parts in his hand, looked out the door, looked at the back that gradually disappeared in the distance, and said to himself.

More than an hour later, in the wilderness outside the south gate of Sand City, in the evening sunset, a small flying machine slowly rose into the air and flew to the distant horizon......

After nightfall, a bright moon rises from the sea of sand and gradually hangs in the sky.

The vast sea of sand, as calm and deep as ever, with the occasional breeze blowing, gently pushing the fine sand towards the bottom of the dunes. Under the starlight, a fish glowing with silver light swam among the clouds. When I looked at it, it was the figure of Sparrowhawk Three.

At this moment, in the cabin of the aircraft, Iron Slag and Hillman were drinking brandy, the former not talking much, while the latter was talking a lot, like an old woman with a long tongue, babbling non-stop.

"Brother-in-law, it's a good mix, I have a private flying machine." The eldest brother said that since boarding the Sparrowhawk 3, he has quietly upgraded the iron slag from "little sister's boyfriend" to "brother-in-law", as if he is a family.

"Borrowed." Iron slag said truthfully.

"It's not bad to be able to borrow such a good flying machine." Hillman said that this aircraft is a "Sparrow-type" aircraft produced by Harley Heavy Industries, which is extremely fast, and is generally only configured by the direct troops of the great nobles, even if it is the Dawn Expeditionary Force, it is only partially configured. Then, he said, "I heard that the beauties of the Central Yincheng Military Academy are like clouds, what are the top ten beauties of Egret Lake, the six beauties of Huayuan Street, and the three goddesses of Lengji Lake, I heard that they are all young and beautiful, beautiful as flowers, they are all rare beauties in the world, and the three goddesses of Lengji Lake are even more amazing......" When describing, Hillman's eyes lit up, and the yearning was in words.

"It seems to be ......," Iron Slag said perfunctorily, taking a sip of wine.

"There are so many beautiful women, and my sister is not around, do you have ......" Hillman said in a long voice, glancing meaningfully at the iron slag. The latter suddenly got goosebumps, and the former continued, "It's normal to have, man...... Hillman showed a "I understand" expression, and there was a "I'll keep it a secret for you" between his eyebrows.

"No ......," Iron Slag said without blushing and without a heartbeat.

"Who are you fooling?" Hillman smiled and said in a strengthened tone, "Lord Knights of the Wilderness. ”

Iron Slag was shocked, but there was no expression on his face, and he asked seemingly casually, "How do you know?" ”

"Newspapers sell every day, TV news reports every day, do you really think that our news of the Northern Wilderness is closed......" Hillman raised his glass to the iron slag, and then said with a smile, "The biggest news in the world today is the Wilderness Knight canonized by the three major faiths at the same time, if you don't believe it, just ask the homeless people in Sand City, I'm afraid they all know." ”

Hearing Hillman's statement, Iron Slag suddenly felt bad, it turned out that when he went to Hiros's house just now, they were all playing stupid, and he was the only one who was still in the dark. For this, he can only blame everything on the strange blood of the Shiros family, who love to pretend and play tricks on people.

"Guys, it's normal to lie occasionally, you see, I lie occasionally." Hillman said casually.

However, the astute iron slag immediately heard the voice-over, frowned, and asked, "What are you hiding?" ”

"Me?" Hillman pointed to himself, confused.

"Say." Iron Slag commanded in a deep voice.

"Actually......" "Say!" "I'm a first-order ......," Hillman said with a smirk.

"Good." Iron Slag put down his wine glass, stood up and said.

"Passing the prize." Hillman said cheekily.

"I recommend getting your parachute bag." Iron Slag pointed to the other party's seat and said.

"Why?" Hillman looked at the iron slag with a stunned expression.

"Prepare for a skydive." "Who's skydiving?" "You jump." "What do you want to do! I'm your uncle......

"Really?" Iron Slag grinned and asked.

"Brother Tie, don't, I was wrong, for Nana's sake......" Hillman begged for mercy as he stepped back.
