Astana, the former capital of the Kazakh Khanate, is now the capital of the Western Province of the Republic of China.

In this city, the Ishim River passes through the city, the climate is pleasant in all seasons, the surrounding ecological environment is also good, and it is the terminus of the continental shelf railway that runs through the entire Huaxia Republic, so it has also become the capital of the western province.

Of course, it is also because in this Central Asian region, there have long been Turkic, Russian, and Kazakh ethnic groups, and ethnic groups such as Uzbek, Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, Tatar, Uygur, Tajik and other ethnic groups are also distributed, while the Chinese people are located in the border of Jingxi Province, the climate is unsuitable and the environment is harsh, so that although China occupies this place, the Han people only occupy less than 30% of the population of the entire Jingxi Province.

And here, because of the connection between Asia and Europe, and often by the invasion of Central Asia, and the Chinese government has always had few restrictions on religion, so most of the residents here believe in Islam (Sunni), Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, as for Buddhism, Taoism Although there exist, it is also rare.

It is precisely because of its proximity to Europa through the Western Province, its proximity to Afghanistan and India, and its proximity to the Middle East that the Huaxia Republic has the largest Central Asian Army stationed here. It has a huge army of 310,000 troops, nearly 10,000 tanks and armored combat vehicles of various types, 2,500 fighters, attack planes, tankers, early warning planes, and a huge number of artillery pieces of various types.

It's just that because of the convergence of various forces, there are often terrorist attacks, but they are also a headache.

And after the wormhole appeared, it was even more turbulent here, as if it had become a dragon and a tiger, and secretly I don't know how many forces came here, wanting to spy and seek their own interests.

That's why Zao Wou-Ki was going to leave here and go to Songjiang Mansion, which was thousands of miles away!

And with the help of the Central Asian Group Army, he quickly got on the plane, and after a flight that lasted for half a day, he finally came to the other side of the Chinese Republic, the second largest metropolitan area in China called Songjiang Prefecture!

After getting off the plane, Zao Wou-Ki called a taxi and walked towards the outside of the Third Ring Road with Yue Xiao, who appeared next to him.

It was about the first time she came to this strange world, Yue Xiao looked at the cars speeding on the road outside, the planes and helicopters that happened to pass in the sky, and the towering skyscrapers, of course, the crowds of people rubbing shoulders on the streets, and the neon lights that kept flashing, and a small mouth kept calling, asking Zao Wou-Ki what these were!

Zao Wou-Ki was also patient, smiling and introducing everything here bit by bit.

In this way, with the rapid driving of the car, the two also quickly came to the outside of the Third Ring Road, Zao Wou-Ki looked at the countless buildings on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but feel surprised, and couldn't help but say: "In eight years, it seems that there have been a lot of changes here!" ”

Not to mention these changes, Zao Wou-Ki quickly found the place where his family used to be.

Although the surrounding scene has changed a lot, it is probably because his home is located in a community that has been developed for a long time, and there is not much change here, except that the house has become old and the characters have changed again.

The surrounding supermarket, the nearby playground, and the game center that should exist are all exactly the same, although their owners have changed!

"Is it almost autumn?"

Stepping on the path covered with sycamore leaves, Zao Wou-Ki took Yue Xiao's hand and walked slowly on this avenue that he used to often go in and out of.

He looked up at the slightly yellowish leaves, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he remembered the scene when he left here willfully.

At that time, he was just an adult teenager, but at the age of sixteen, he never looked back, embarked on the road of joining the army, and did not return home once in these eight years, just because the relatives at home had long disappeared.

"Brother, which one is our home?"

Yue Xiao tugged lightly and pointed to the almost similar villas in front of her, but she felt a little confused.

"Well, this is it!"

Zhao Wuji stroked Yue Xiao slightly, looking at the girl who only reached his waist, showing timidity, and immediately took her hand and walked to a small villa.

Three floors, plus a swimming pool and garage, and of course a basement and a small garden at the top, that's where he lived as a child.

It's just that this villa, it seems that because it has not been inhabited for a long time, the whole appearance is covered with a layer of dust, and there are even yellow-brown spots on it, as well as some sloppy filth and the like. As for the garden, the grapes, roses, moonflowers, lilies, and other flowers that were planted in the past have long since withered, and only a weed remains; As for the swimming pool, which was supposed to be filled with clear fresh water, it was also occupied by a clutter of aquatic plants, as well as crucian carp and grass carp that occasionally flashed.

"Eight years? I didn't expect to come back here! ”

Pushing open the door, a puff of dust came out from under the tentacles, and Zao Wou-Ki looked at everything in front of him carefully, and unconsciously many scenes appeared in front of him.

In the living room, on the hardwood dining table, he vaguely remembered that he had played on it; In the closets on both sides, he also saw that the broken stubble of the handles he had accidentally broken was still in its original state; On the wall, the black lines drawn with ink pens still carry the expectations of the past when they grow up; On the pineapple wood Taishi chair on both sides, it seems that the father's scolding is still lingering......

It's just that things are wrong, and after eight years, everything has changed.

"Brother, is this our home?"

Yue Xiao blinked, looked at the dusty and slightly old house in front of her, and felt that Zao Wou-Ki had been standing in place for too long, so she took his hand and asked. Zao Wou-Ki was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and looked at the girl, his warm smile was like a bright sun, stroked her head and said, "That's right, in the next half a year, we will live here!" Of course, before that, we need to clean up! ”

With that, he stepped aside, took several plastic buckets, filled them with water and began to clean the house, which he had lost for more than eight years.

The garden and swimming pool cannot be cleaned in a short time, but the bedrooms and living rooms and kitchens can be cleaned.

And Yue Xiao and Zao Wou-Ki are not ordinary people, one is a visitor from another world with unique skills, and the other is a special soldier who has been in a hundred battles, and it is extremely easy to deal with these dusts that have occupied their rooms for more than eight years.

Although there is a little more work, and the garbage in many places is quite stubborn, it is also washed away when the strength of the two is concentrated.

After the sun went down and the sunset was all over the sky, the two of them stopped their movements in dust and sweat, and smiled happily when they looked at the room that was finally clean and bright.

"You take a shower first!"

Seeing Yue Xiao, whose whole person had turned into a flower-faced cat, Zao Wou-Ki felt a rumbling in his stomach again, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and see if the courier has delivered a meal." ”

After all, the family has not been taken care of for a long time, and many electrical appliances are no longer available, so he has to support himself and order some meals in the restaurant outside.

Induction cookers, refrigerators, rice cookers, ventilation fans and other household essentials need to be replaced, and refrigerators, laundry cabinets, washing machines, drying racks and other things are also extremely lacking, as for those quilts, pads and pillows that have long been corroded and rotted are also temporarily unusable.

For this reason, Zao Wou-Ki had to find a furniture company and list the things he needed one by one, and only wait a few days before he could redecorate them.

Even so, with the two of them working together, they also made two places to sleep.

After the courier delivered the meal, Zao Wou-Ki also put a series of dishes on the table, such as cold braised plates, herb beef, matsutake mountain soup, grilled sturgeon in sauce, vegetarian mixed fried rice, plus a bottle of fruit wine, and some fruits, although simple but enough to fill the stomach, and the nutritional mix is balanced, it is also suitable for a growing girl like Yuexiao.

After waiting for Yuexiao to bathe and change clothes, Zhao Wouji knocked on the plate and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Yue Xiao was stunned for a moment, pouting as if she was thinking about something, she slowly moved to the table, sat on the seat a little uncomfortable, took the chopsticks and picked up the food that looked very tempting, slowly stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it into her stomach, but after eating it for a while, she didn't know why the tears fell.

"What's the matter, is it because the food is not delicious?"

Zhao Wou-Ki was a little surprised, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to Yue Xiao's side, and asked with great concern, but he might as well tighten his waist but was hugged by his waist, but Yue Xiao buried his head in Zhao Wouji's waist, tears like a flood, moistened his clothes, and whimpered: "Thank you...... You...... Brother! In my ...... When you are dying...... Saved me. And even ...... Adopt me ......"

The voice is a little difficult, and even a little sluggish when speaking, but the sincere emotion is so real.

Zao Wou-Ki also stroked the girl in his arms slightly, his voice was soft, and it made people forget his once iron-clad arrogance, and said: "Cry, it's better to cry!" ”

Hearing this, Yue Xiao cried loudly in an instant, her tears could not be stopped any longer, and the sound of crying kept echoing, but she couldn't help but feel pity out of thin air.

lost her family, was chased by the enemy, and when she was rescued, what awaited her was a long period of observation and surveillance.

The tormented heart, after all, still has a time to get tired, and after endless waiting, she once again stepped into the other world because of the threat of the high-level, and was forced to accept the name of the so-called daughter of the city lord, so as to command everyone to resist the invasion of the snow devils, although a battle finally annihilated the other party, but she was also exhausted in this series of battles, and now finally came to a safe place, immediately couldn't stop the tears, bitter.

Perhaps, this should be the original face of Yuexiao!

She's just a child after all!

Zao Wou-Ki understood this, even though he felt that he was sitting in an awkward position, he didn't move, just quietly stroked the girl in his arms, constantly comforting her, and letting her tormented heart be released.

I don't know when, the girl stopped crying, she should have fallen asleep, and Zao Wou-Ki also stiffened her body, just sitting in place, extremely quiet!
