Section I

Avalanches came very often, and every now and then in the middle of the night he could hear the sound from the mountains to the west, and Lei Luo was often woken up by it, and every time it was as if his throat was being choked, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's rare that trees can grow in this kind of place" Lei Luo glanced at the window, and the trees outside were piled up with a thick layer of snow, which had just fallen at this moment, revealing dark green leaves. Squinting again, he pulled the quilt up slightly, but suddenly exposed his entire ankle.

He turned over, leaned on the floor and half propped up his body, symbolically added some firewood to the fireplace next to him, and glanced at his brother's room at the end of the corridor, which was still shining. After drinking a glass of water, he curled up again, lay down by the fireplace and went back to sleep. He always felt that sleeping by the fireplace was quite pleasant, warm as spring, and it was more cost-effective than going to warm up the cold quilt himself.

As I drank water, I stared at the golden hair reflected in the window, which had not been trimmed for a while, accompanied by a lazy sleep, fluffy and messy, high on my head.

I just saw that the wind seemed to be blowing outside the window again, and the people on the other side of the port were hurriedly carrying their luggage to the ship, and the canvas was blown by the wind and trembled like people, and more and more people were escaping from the shipbuilding.

This is Winter Island, the largest island in Narushu. Just like its name, it is always shivering in the cold winter, without the softness of spring and autumn, and even less the warmth of summer. Endless blizzards, a never-ending despair, so much so that people wish they would never have winter again.

The weather has forced many people to try to leave this cold hellish place, but almost every day, the bodies of many losers can be found floating back to Winter Island along with the wreckage of the ship, which also makes people lose their little confidence. Until now, the people of Winter Island do not know if there are any people who have managed to reach the mainland. Maybe it's the people who never come back who show up and make them almost feel like it's impossible.

But in Lei Luo's house, I don't know when a book has been handed down, and it has never been made public. Although the book is written at almost nothing, the words "the best of the East" are written on the last page.

"Maybe they've been there and don't want to come back. "Relo used to guess that when he was a child.

A month ago, he really hadn't thought about leaving Winter Island, where he had never left. His family is considered wealthy, and he can have his own independent house on Winter Island, or the only one built directly on the ground, not underground. The wealth left by the predecessors, having an older brother who has always been with him, carefree and happy, seems to be nothing bad to stay here for the rest of his life. He was probably the last person on the island to worry about the snow burying the house, and he never thought of changing this beautiful idea.

But it may be a few words in the book left by the predecessors, and it is more likely that the death of a loved one can change this stubborn and deep-rooted idea.

"I remember when I was very young, my parents died, and I lived with my brother all the time, and now that he's like this, I don't want to follow their path. The boat swayed as it moved forward, causing Relo to clutch to the guardrail beside the ship in worry.

This ship was bought from the current deputy captain: Fan Ran.

"I lived with my brother, and then I went to sea and left him alone in Zuolu, and it has been almost eleven years, and I have not been back. I've only seen him once because of work, and that's it. Fan Ran also grabbed the railing with both hands, obviously he was also worried about whether something would happen to the broken ship.

"Eleven years, long enough ......" Lei Luo yawned and looked at the dark clouds in the sky with a frown.

The wind was rudely beating the old sails, and the sound of the rattle made everyone's hearts hang like a storm.

"Don't drag around here!" shouted a female sailor at a group of shivering sailors.

"Eldest sister, the ability of a novice like us is not half as strong as yours, okay, okay you. A little sailor with a dirty face, glancing at the female sailor, knew that he was very dissatisfied.

Lei Luo watched this scene completely next to him, smiled bitterly, and said, "Winter Island has never had such a bad temper, wearing so thin and wearing so little, is it also from your side?"

Fan Ran took the thick hood off his head, revealing blue and white hair, saying that he was less than twenty years old, but his face was very old, turning into a warm and reliable feeling.

Three days ago, the funeral of Lei Luo's brother was held quietly at the foot of the hill on Winter Island. There were no bodies, only a pair of rudders wrapped in tattered canvas, buried in the snow at the foot of the mountain. It was the only relic left of his entire fleet.

On this day, the person who handed him the rudder was the deputy captain in front of him, who changed his mind for more than ten years. He said his name was Fan Ran and that he was from Guanzhou, east of Mingzhou.

"Don't ask about the situation in Guanzhou, I'll go and see what's going on in the back. Fan Ran's face suddenly sank, a slight smile froze on his face, as if he remembered something very bad, smiled reluctantly, patted Lei Luo's shoulder gently, and then turned his head and ran to the cabin.

"What the hell is this......" Lei Luo was left on the deck alone, so he had to laugh bitterly, rubbed his fluffy hair, and stretched his waist with his body on the mast. After a short look at the sailors' movements, he felt a little bored.

"I'd better go back to my room and rest for a while. He rubbed his waist again, trotted back to his room, and lay down on the bed, but he never fell asleep, and the sound of the wind and waves outside could not be abated even when the door was closed, as if it were in his ears. Staring at the small lamp on the ceiling in the cabin, the body also swayed as the ship moved forward in the turbulence.

"Hey, turn around, you're going to hit the rocks!" the other sailor, who was slightly emaciated, suddenly saw a huge oncoming reef and burst into his field of vision in the blink of an eye.

"Are you okay?" Fan Ran sat on a chair in the room, watched Lei Luo sit up from the bed, and asked. Lei Luo stood up and moved slightly, his clothes sticking to his body, a little uncomfortable.

The beautiful scenery outside the window made it difficult for him to adapt to the wind and snow that he had grown up on Winter Island and had only seen the wind and snow. The brand new canvas hangs from the mast, giving it a sense of freshness after a rainy day.

"This ...... What......" Lei Luo coughed twice and turned his face to the side of Fan Ran, who now looked the same as when he left the splint, still smiling slightly.

"We were rescued by my fellow travelers, our boat hit the reef and knocked out a big hole, and it happened to be a waterspout, and now the ship doesn't know where it went, then you are already asleep, I should be watching you...... But it's all right, now you're on my boat. ”

At this time, he didn't listen to what Fan Ran said at all, and thought about what waterspouts were. I didn't ask about it carefully. Excitedly, he put his slippers on his feet and trotted to the window. All attention turned to the outside.

It wasn't the winter island storm anymore, and that was enough for him to forget about anything else.

Section II

- "Thank you, whoever you are"

Cassius sometimes likes to run to the lighthouse in the middle of the island, lying on the windowsill on the rooftop, looking out to the sea in the distance. There were eight windows on all sides of the lighthouse, but he liked the one facing northwest, and in this tall tower he could see the sea in every direction. The carved wood is carved into every part of this window, so that the surface is smooth and shiny to the touch of Kaxiu, much softer than those in the depths that cannot be touched.

He looked like a simple child, only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He's a little whiter than anyone else's skin here, and his dark brown hair as a child grows into a white and a few strands of sky blue, which looks a little more different.

The children on the street are lying on their stomachs in front of the shop window, they all dream of one day holding their heads high, striding into the shooting star, waving their hands to pay, shouting "I bought this thing" The kind of exaggerated stage play-like plot happened to them, and none of them thought about whether they still wanted to buy snacks imported from Chengli Island in Guanzhou when they grew up.

Cathew is also indispensable in this group of children, although he is already a little adult at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but he is still arguing with children about who should belong to the dried squid that he has not yet bought, which really makes him look like eleven or twelve-year-old children, if it weren't for the fact that he is not tall and still young in appearance, it is estimated that even he himself would be embarrassed to deal with this group of children whose worldview is still small.

"How good, isn't it? If he continues to be naïve like this, it will be a very good foundation for me to ascend to the position in the future. ”

With dark skin and a slightly chubby face, baby fat hasn't completely faded, but it doesn't look like a child at all. As the eldest biological son of the King and Queen, he now has absolute confidence in ascending to that position of his own.

The power of time is huge enough that a short silence is enough to change a person's life, and the same is true for a year.

"**** Kasiu has confirmed the news of his death!" was when the news was printed all over the newspaper, and he with a sad face in the newspaper and now he who didn't know it were completely different looks.

Towering towers, clean and thorough sky, this person is still lying on the windowsill, the wooden windowsill has appeared two pits that have been branded by elbows, he saw black clouds in the distance, but it does not affect his mood, the corners of his mouth are still slightly hooked upward, he naturally does not know that under the clean sky, what an ugly reality is placed below, like a smooth and gorgeous cup on the outside, waiting to pick it up and drink the muddy water inside.

"Sir, this price is nothing to me at all, but you have to promise me that Cassius will never return to Nanling Prefecture and will not set foot on this land in a single step!" Ten hours before Cassiu got on the boat, the prince was already in a state of fragility, mostly because what the gentleman said always made him confused. He has been careless, playing with his clothes pockets.

"I can guarantee that Kaxiu will not be willing to return to this small land in Nanlingzhou, nor will he be willing to compete with you for your broken throne, but as for whether he will return here accidentally, I can't guarantee you. He stopped playing with the pockets of his jacket with his hands, and raised his head to stare at the angry eyes of the soon-to-be-enthroned king.

"Well, I hope you can go ahead with your plans" The prince was startled by the sudden sharp look in his eyes, and did not dare to say anything more. Although he was still angry, he had to answer reluctantly.

He no longer stared at the Prince, but stood up, gently pushed his chair under the table, and walked to the window, which faced the floor-to-ceiling window to the northwest, and he noticed that the sky was gradually darkening.

"It's about to rain outside, you have to hurry, I can't guarantee that your ship won't sink if the wind and waves are too late," the prince couldn't think of anything to say later, so he urged or cursed viciously.

"Next, Cassiu will follow me, it's none of your business to die or not. The boatman put his hands behind his back and looked at the dark sky in the distance.

Although he couldn't see the movements of the prince behind him, he could already imagine how distorted the expression on his face had just now when the prince slammed the door and left.

"This young little scoundrel is really a crow's mouth," the boatman rubbed the rudder, trying to change the direction of the ship. I was still thinking about the prince cursing himself for capsizing.

Cassius lay on the bed in his room, thinking back to what the boatman had said to him a few hours earlier.

"If you continue to stay in this place, sooner or later it will be a stepping stone for your brother to establish a kingdom. If you will come with me, I will take you to my country. Follow me, and I can guarantee that no one will treat you badly. Whether you believe me or not, I'm here to take you away. Your ability to do a lot in Guanzhou, what no one can do, is definitely much better than being killed here."

"So you took me out to sea so that you couldn't do it?" Cassius watched the boatman say so much, and only responded coldly.

"You don't have to think about it anymore, it's really for your good. ”

The boatman was strange, his whole body was tightly wrapped, his hood covered his face, and only a pair of blue eyes could be seen. There was no emotion in his tone, but it did make Cassiu have the idea of going away, thinking that he would go, if he died in conspiracy and darkness in the end, it was better to live in the future and light.

Ka Xiu didn't understand these inexplicable words, so he said, "Anyway, I will follow you, but you have to explain to me first, where are you going to take me to Guanzhou? How do you know that I am ****? What can I do and you can't? I hope you can explain it to me." ”

But the matter of his royal brother is also that he has been able to understand all this situation since he was a child, and there is absolutely no good end to staying in Nanlingzhou. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to sea casually with this guy of unknown origin.

"I bought you by trading with your brother, but it's just a formality, don't get me wrong. I'm a few years older than you at most, but I'm the head of the union, and I'm like a leader, and we're headquartered on Oasis Island, where I'm taking you. I don't want to force you to do it, and I'll explain it to you when I get to Oasis Island. As he spoke, he untied the sails, and the gray-white canvas was raised, and the wind slowly became stronger, and it was the wind blowing from Narushu.

The sun shone into every inch of the plywood, and the wet planks began to dry gradually, with the smell of sunlight. After being washed away by the strong wind, the oasis island they saw in front of them looked particularly beautiful. The hurricane that I just left was blowing from Narushu, and that cold place was like purgatory on earth for the flowers living in the greenhouse.

"It's just going to be fatal! I promise that I won't go to Mingzhou even if I die in the future! The wind can blow like this across the entire Lingzhou!"

The tired boatman who collapsed on the splint looked like a ball of vacuum-compressed dirty cotton, and his heavy clothes hung on his body from beginning to end, and if it weren't for the fact that the clothes were soaked and outlining his figure, Cassius would not have imagined that he was actually quite thin, not as strong as he looked.

"It's not that exaggerated...... Narushu ...... "That's what Kashu thought in his heart, in fact, he didn't help at all during the storm just now.

Maybe he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be buried in the ground with such a beautiful name called Oasis Island.

Section III

"It's really big here, compared to my hometown, there's only snow there. ”

In front of him is the westernmost country on the Gwanju continent: Zuolu. Just now, Lei Luo and his co-captain Fan Ran were almost drowned in the Missian, and in the end, it was enough to reach this place in the boat of the co-captain's partner. It's also a pity that the broken ship that cost a lot of money to buy.

Brand new canvases, sunny beaches, and birds that you have almost never seen before, can fly high and fly as you like in the snowstorm-filled air like Winter Island. The buildings here are different from the houses on Winter Island, in the whole of Naruto, almost everyone builds their houses underground, in the words of the locals of Zuolu, as if living in a bomb shelter, but in Zuolu, people wear a thin layer of clothes, and even some people dare to show half of their arms and legs, towering buildings, technologically advanced cities, for Lei Luo, who has just come here from Winter Island, obviously can't accept it quickly, but he also recognized his own dress problem, and asked Fan Ran to borrow suitable clothes before he dared to say goodbye to this strange guy who took care of himself all the way。

Lei Luo, who has been locked in a cold room since he was a child, suddenly can't stand such a strong sun, he has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, his skin is unhealthy white compared to the people here, looking for shadows everywhere to avoid direct sunlight, every passerby will look at him very strangely, but Lei Luo doesn't mind these glances very much.

Although it is very prosperous, the streets are not too wide, and there are one-way streets everywhere, and people crowd on every thoroughfare, like a river that flows endlessly, and there is not much hope of going against the tide to get to the center of the city. Lei Luo wandered around the city with the crowd, seeing people walk into the various shops. He would also occasionally take a look at the strange shops, which were not the same as the underground shops on Winter Island, he had never seen the windows, he had never seen everything here, almost all of them were completely different. But as the people moved forward together, they saw a bookstore in the distance, thought about it, and walked in. At least, I still know that there must be books sold in the bookstore.

There are also a lot of customers in the bookstore, and there are bookshelves that are three times higher than Lei Luo, row after row, regularly placed on both sides of the bookstore, and the three-story hall is open, which looks extraordinarily atmospheric.

In people's eyes, at most, they are just children who are beautiful but don't know anything, and don't know where they come from and where they are going. And with that kind of temperament that is not too aggressive, it is also disgusting. Some people are curious.

Lei Luo stayed in the bookstore for a whole day, and the owner was okay and allowed him to read it without having to pay any more. What people can't see is that this guy's luck is actually more than that.

Coming out of the bookstore, the sunlight was not as strong as when Fan Ran was separated, and there were a lot fewer people, so he could walk boldly and comfortably on the street, enjoying the sense of happiness wrapped in that warm atmosphere, but he was thinking about reading the atlas in the bookstore, and roughly understanding the world map, and the westernmost Zuolu in the entire Guanzhou, where most of the underground machinery factories run the city, and there is very little artificial power.

He also saw some very strange books, which said that in this whole world, all people have all kinds of talents according to race, and the author calls it race. Races are divided according to their unique talents and skin color. The author also said that from ancient times to the present, through the wars of each race, different human kingdoms have been established, which constitutes the pattern of this world.

Lei Luo also seems to understand whether he understands or not, thinking that he understands history.

"It's so complicated...... I still have to find a way to live, and I didn't bring much money with me......"

By dusk, there were far fewer people on the streets than at noon, but it was about to usher in the next evening rush, the sunset on the horizon was flooded with fire-like clouds, the sea was turning up layer after layer of waves, the soft sunlight of the setting sun spread on the water, reflected on the towering buildings, the clouds here looked much higher than those of Winter Island, as if to say goodbye to themselves, flying higher and higher, farther and farther away from themselves. The development of this metropolis is like a fast powder machine, constantly crushing the passing time. He recalled that he fell asleep by the fireplace on Winter Island, and his brother was always waiting on the other side of the room, which felt better than standing on the street with him and not knowing where to go. It seems that I will never find that happiness of my own here.

With nearly 30,000 Ming of money [1 Ming = 20 crowns 1 crown = 1000 Ling 1 Ming = 20,000 Ling], but I don't know how to live, and I feel indescribable sour in my heart.

But apparently he was too negative about the world. When the warm sunlight is replaced, it will naturally unlock his long-frozen memories.

"Hey, do you want to come with me. Fan Pu finally mustered up the courage and walked to the place where Lei Luo was crouching under the corner of the row of buildings by the beach, looking at the sunset.

Lei Luo followed behind Fan Pu, the boy looked about his age, the skin on his face was much fairer than on his arms, and two strands of bright red hair grew out of his black hair, fluttering slightly in the wind. Lei Luo found a trace of familiar memories in his eyes, but he couldn't remember it, as if his heart was being suppressed, uncomfortable but unable to express it for a long time.

The blue of the sky had completely faded, and the scorching heat was lost in exchange for a drizzling rain. Lei Luo followed closely behind Fan Pu, listening to him keep saying something he didn't understand, until he came to this little narrow alley.

The shadows that filled the air hid an old wooden door, and the alley was darkened by the light rain and the faint light, and Lei Luo stood at the corner of the street, hesitating to enter.

After a few clicks, Fan Pu accidentally knocked down the iron tools on the shelf inside, and he hurriedly opened the door, with a short squeak, the light was released from the door, illuminating the appearance of the alley. "Don't worry, there won't be soldiers in there, don't be afraid, I'm here" Fan Pu turned his head and grinned at Lei Luo.

The boy named Fan Pu looked quite confident and contagious, and he seemed to be able to drive away the fear of silence and erase the gloom. Lei Luo didn't know what he meant by the soldier, and just followed him in, even though he knew how ignorant he was doing so.

There is a two-storey building hidden in the wooden door, and when you enter it, there is a narrow corridor, the floor is paved with some rusty iron plates, and Fan Pu makes a muffled sound every step he takes; on the right side of the door is a small ladder, Lei Luo climbed to the second floor, and there is still a narrow corridor in front of him, but the floor is replaced by wood, and each floor looks quite old, and cracks fill the edge of each plank, and some seem to pass through the center inadvertently. It gives people the feeling that it will break if they can't stand stepping on it.

But all these objects are clean and tidy, without any dirty stains, and the ladder leads to the roof, forming an exquisite foyer at the entrance, but the roof of this foyer has no ceiling, but a huge transparent rain canopy covers the upper room of this foyer. If it was a clear night, the starlight could be sprinkled onto the floor from here, and Lei Luo's body, as well as the decoration on the first floor, was now raining, and the raindrops were slamming on it, making a crisp sound.

There are many colorful light strips used for festivals, framed in a row of empty photo frames on the wall. The colorful lights reflected on the rusty iron plate, showing all kinds of different brown marks, it seemed that the place was having a lively festival party, but there were only two people, Lei Luo and Fan Pu.

"You just live upstairs, I just cleaned it. My brother used to live there, and no one has lived there since he went out. Fan Pu took the towel and got down the ladder and handed it to Lei Luo.

"Fan Pu. "I was about to turn around and get some food, but I was suddenly stopped by Lei Luo.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Maybe it was because Lei Luo hadn't spoken, and suddenly his mouth opened a little hastily, or pale.

Fan Pu was also unnatural, turning his head to look at Lei Luo, not knowing what to say.

Lei Luo didn't know why he stopped him, and began to regret the embarrassing situation caused by his haste to do so.

Quietly, only the sound of rain pounding on the roof.

The bizarre historical context of this land was once brutally shattered, until the moment when Lei Luo called Fan Pu, and the long road for him to pick up and put together the fragments of this vein has already begun. Whether it is coming one after another or quietly, it is slowly infiltrating the long river of history.

The rain outside the window gradually became heavier, and the whole city was shrouded in gray and black, and the fall of night changed this gray to the extreme. The orange street lights on the streets are turning on one after another, which can better help people who have not arrived at home to find the right direction in the dark. In the center of the city on Zuolu, the lights are shining as if to drive away all the rain clouds, forming a small bright band.

"President, I think attacking the ice barrier is our only option" The man's gray and silver hair was long, not like old and pale old hair, but like stars plucked from the sky. I can't see the emotional color on my face, there is no strange and strange costume, just an ordinary black military uniform. He pulled his hair back slightly, pinned it behind his ear, and glowed white in the conference room light.

He pulled a card out of his pocket and slowly handed it to the man across from him with a bloodless face and a pitiful expression.

"Do you really want to do this, you have been quiet for twenty years, and you are going to destroy it from your hands" The president's eyes were already bloodshot, flashing and shining.

"Even if we don't destroy it, sooner or later someone will take this step, it's just that no more people will leave their names, this is not a seminar, the president, this is an order. "Cold, without a hint of warmth.

The flickering of colored lights is not always good and happy, and when you are at the peak of the color of a certain emotion, the mixed colors can also make people feel restless.

Although Lei Luo regretted stopping him on the spot, to his good fortune, it was obvious that Fan Pu didn't realize that he had something else to talk to him about.

"Uh...... I'm going to hurry up and put my clothes away, if it rains hard, I won't have any dry clothes to wear tomorrow, and I'll come back to you later." Fan Pu didn't know how to react, taking advantage of the heavy rain, the crackling sound of the rain also made the silence less dull. Thinking of the rain, Fan Pu hurriedly climbed up the ladder to the top of the building.

The night in Zuolu was beautiful, the city alternated between white and yellow lights, and not long after Relo fell asleep, the rain gradually stopped.

Section IV

"I really just want our country to be strong" This man in his twenties and thirties looks so thick and indifferent on his back.

"August, for nearly forty years, how many people in this world have forged this hard-won peace with their lives, and among these people are your parents, are you going to waste these efforts like this?" the president seemed to feel that he could no longer be dissuaded, and silently played the last weak trump card. This sentence sounds so resolute, but it has long been weak.

"The ice barrier has been our territory since ancient times, and my parents died for this land. Why are you willing to live in this small piece of land in the far west of the whole Guanzhou for the rest of your life? See for yourself, the center of the city is full of these narrow streets, not what I said, do you really think that no one wants war except me?"

"We need it: the ice barrier, as long as it is recaptured, it can be as strong as the Dumun, thank you, President, whether you agree with it or not, I will go, after all, behind me, there is the Durgun. ”

The word "Tumeng" was pronounced by Auguste as forcefully as the wind that must precede a magnificent storm.

"Fan Pu, are you sure this is okay?"

Lei Luo sat on a tattered old motorcycle, clutching Fan Pu's shoulders tightly.

"You can sit boldly, no problem. Fan Pu twisted the key clockwise with his hand, and the punching bag behind it made a loud buzzing sound.

The sun had just climbed the horizon, and the wind was blowing strongly in the city, and the cold air swept away the last trace of temperature in the city at night and the warm yellow lights of the early morning. A loud torrent suddenly glowed in the quiet atmosphere of Fan Pu's home, which swept over the lazy soft light of the early morning. Fan Pu forced the sleeping Lei Luo to the roof of the house and showed him the motorcycle.

"It's a motorcycle that my dad likes to ride when he travels, and he only bought this bike for less than two years when he left. Fan Pu patted the dust on the car, the original bright red color has turned into a hazy dark red, and his excited tone was a little melancholy with emotion, and he explained with great interest.

"Zuo Lu is even the main street is densely crowded, can you drive a motorcycle?" Lei Luo slightly gestured the width of the motorcycle, frowning slightly.

"I modified it, it doesn't have to go to the road to squeeze, it can fly, today is the first test flight, I want to take you with me, if you fail, you can have a companion." Fan Pu stuffed a small pale pink stone into the oil door, raised his head and said to Lei Luo.

"Wait a minute. Lei Luo had already woken up from the early morning confusion, "It's been twelve years since you returned to Zuolu, are you okay...... And how did your brother Fan Ran go to work at sea?"

The moment Lei Luo read out Fan Ran's name, Fan Pu was completely unenthusiastic about talking about motorcycles.

"I thought you forgot ......" Fan Pu smiled bitterly and pressed his head, lifted a small bench from the shed next to him, handed it to Lei Luo, and sat on the seat of the motorcycle.

"I only remembered it last night...... Otherwise, how could he not recognize Fan Ran. "Instead of sitting on a small bench, I sat on a table in a small shed.

"Fan Ran, I've been out to sea for a long time, I haven't been back for more than ten years, I ran back once half a year ago, but I gave me these stones and left immediately, it seems that I am still being chased and killed. He was gone for more than half a year, and my father died in his work. The explanation given to me was that the valley of the Fertile Land had collapsed, and the former agents of the Left Continent were buried underneath. Fan Pu's fingers rhythmically tapped the metal on the side of the car, making a thumping sound.

"Where's your mother?" asked Lei Luo with sudden regret.

"After giving birth to me, it didn't last more than three days. He stopped knocking on the wagon with his hands, jumped off the saddle, twisted his waist slightly, as if his muscles were sore from sitting for a long time, and wanted to move his muscles and bones.

"I'll be honest with you......" Lei Luo wanted to tell him about Fan Ran bringing him to Zuolu.

Fan Pu shook his hand at Lei Luo, smiled slightly, and said, "I know he brought you here, I saw it at the port." I've been following you since then," after a pause, his tone suddenly became wooden, "He was very nice to me when I was young, just like you saw that he was very nice to you, and then he went to sea, and it seemed that I didn't exist anymore, but he came back once half a year ago and asked me to help him hide things." It feels like I don't have much affection for him now, otherwise I'd have gone to look for him on the boat when you get here. Fan Pu rolled his eyes slightly at Lei Luo, and continued, "During the half year that he and I went to Winter Island with my father, I lived in your house, and my father and my brother were always outside. Laughing, he raised his tone slightly, "I didn't know I wouldn't be waiting for you outside the bookstore for a day." ”

Lei Luo was still silently regretting in his heart, when he saw Fan Ran, he didn't recognize him at all. But why didn't Fan Ran directly identify his identity?

"Do you remember Renault, my brother, who also died a month ago, at sea, and in the end found only one rudder of their fleet. "Relo didn't really want to mention Renault. After thinking about it, he changed the subject, "I'm also curious about how you came to Narushu, I've never seen a family like yours come to Winter Island without the effects of the climate." Lei Luo remembered his hometown that he had just left the day before yesterday, and there was no nostalgia and desolate homesickness at the moment, he only felt that the sun outside was so good.

"It's impossible, it's possible that no one went to Winter Island, now Zuo Lu doesn't know why, only the government ship of this country can safely cross the Missipian, there are few others, you and my brother didn't take the government ship, this escape may really be just luck...... In fact, I really don't know about the government...... To be honest, I am driving a motorcycle now and flying over the sky, which should also work. Fan Pu finally put the topic on his motorcycle.

When Relo heard the motorcycle again, he already knew that he could never escape it.

The principle of flight could not be simpler, the special flying stone, which is said to be a special ore twenty years ago in the split country, has a scarce output and has a special anti-gravity function. A small piece is enough to make Fan Pu's small motorcycle fly smoothly and steadily. There was no hum of gasoline burning, only the elevation of the motorcycle rising uncontrollably, and it was already hazy in front of me, and it seemed to rise into a foggy cloud.

Lei Luo's already fluffy and soft hair was now trembling in the air like a golden colored flag, not only trembling by the wind, but also trembling from the fear in his psyche.

"Not bad, much better than I thought. Fan Pu took Lei Luo for a quick circle over the center of Zuolu, and landed on the roof safely.

"You're definitely not...... First test flight...... If it were the first time I would never dare to drive so fast......" After experiencing the horror of that unforgettable bump, Lei Luo suddenly felt a sense of suddenness, and climbed out of the car haggardly, exhausted, and sat on the bench without saying a word, covering his forehead.

But this is indeed Fan Pu's first flight, otherwise he would have been photographed by the surveillance earlier.

At this moment, in the monitoring room, August was already sitting in front of the screen and finished watching this video.

"I remember that this thing was gone after the Great War of the Crowns twenty years ago, and now it is possible that the ones that remain are the Hague guys or the underground party. Check it out. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to check now"

The night in Zuolu is very cold, there is a sense of ice and ice, so the street is sparsely crowded, most people want to nest in the warm quilt at home, sigh the cold weather from the bottom of their hearts, and finally fall asleep with warmth. The streets were no longer as noisy as usual, and the streets in the darkness were lined with loneliness.

Fan Pu regretted it, reflecting that he shouldn't have gone out for a stroll in the middle of the night. Originally, he just wanted to come out and see if there was anything cheap to sell in the cold weather.

"What are you trying to do, what are you chasing me...... What a place this is!" he ran desperately in the direction of his little house, muttering so much, still thinking about the knick-knacks he had collected from the summer night market every year, and the iron plates that he had stolen from the construction site in the dark, and he was desperate to put them on the floor of his house, even though he had complained that he shouldn't have caused so much trouble.

Lei Luo was lying on the small bed on the second floor at the moment, his mind empty, just wanting to sleep peacefully.

"Lei Luo, hurry up and pack up your things and start my car!" Fan Pu didn't care about asking Lei Luo to come down and unlock the lock, naturally this dilapidated wooden door couldn't withstand such a toss, and was roughly kicked open by Fan Pu.

The search team behind had already caught up, and Fan Pu was downstairs with a lot of furniture against the door, and at the same time did not forget to yell at Lei Luo.

Lei Luo was startled by this sudden shout, and in a panic, he put everything into his bag, in addition to stuffing all the things in Fan Pu's small shed into a sack, and then carrying his own bag, he ran to the roof on his back, Fan Pu also packed up his things from downstairs, and finally blocked the door with a shoe cabinet, and ran to the roof in embarrassment, pulled Lei Luo, and sat on his motorcycle.

The old xenon lamps glow a warm yellow, illuminating the fine dust that lingers in the air, and slowly flutters like fireflies.

Without a sound, it rushed straight into the deep blue sky.

The sky is very beautiful from the clouds, the vast field of vision, the starlight in the sky, the air polluted by industrial exhaust gases, you can see the pure white stars, accompanied by the clouds rolling at your feet, flowing, galloping for thousands of miles, dyed with the color of the night sky.

At this moment, Lei Luo didn't care much about the beautiful scenery in front of him, in addition to the fear of riding a flying car, there was also a sudden panic of pursuit, which still surrounded his heart for a long time, recalling the terrified outline in his mind.

"What's going on?" said Lei Luo, hard.

"I don't know, it's estimated that this flying motorcycle was discovered by them during the day......" Fan Pu has not fully penetrated the cause and effect of all this, confused. After a pause, Fan Pu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just say that I was the first test flight......

"Could it be that they guessed that this flying principle is a flying stone?" said Relo, kicking the gas tank to its place.

Fan Pu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The speed was increased to the maximum, draped in stars, looking down at the white clouds, and leaving the left land without daring to turn back.

The glass cover of the light strip was shattered, the debris was all over the floor, and the clean wooden floor was stamped with dirty soles.

"Sorry sir, we didn't find anything, they only had some useless tattered and useless discs left...... Wait a minute...... Investigators have just found a piece of ore on the roof of the house. Also, in the process of searching, we found the information of one of them, the black-haired man named Fan Pu, who had just found the household registration information in the information department, and was the son of a colonel in our army, and later this colonel died on the job because he encountered a landslide in the fertile land. ”

"You've worked hard, come back first," the person on the screen dropped a sentence coldly and ended the call.

He closed the thin notebook, and without brushing his silver hair back, he watched the yellow-and-white lights illuminate the city with its clear outlines, and the small, dilapidated bungalows that loomed in the distance. He whispered a word and walked out of the office.

"The weather is very bad."

Section V

In the summer, the wind of Oasis Island feels comfortable on the skin on the face, and it seems to take away the tenacious feeling of dryness.

As soon as summer began, the port quickly began to stir, and it seemed that it became extremely prosperous overnight, and the smell of the ocean that swept over me, wandering in every wisp of air, was filled with the most primitive kind of summer enthusiasm.

The sailor cut the heavy anchor into the sea, and the long-lost down-to-earth footing allowed them to express their indescribable steadfastness and stability in the sea all year round, and sank the anchor in their hearts into the sea together. The smell of the sultry heat, the golden hot sand, and the green woods with tender green leaves growing in the distance are fragrant and rich, bringing a kind comfort to everyone who is swaying.

In this core area of trade between Guanzhou and Lingzhou: Oasis Island, even the winter wind has a trace of warmth, and everything grows wonderfully.

"Where are we going now?" Cassius gradually let down his guard against the boatman who had carried him through the wind and waves, and his attention was almost entirely turned to this new world.

"Go to our union, which is where I often live and the biggest ...... on this oasis island Trading Central. He fanned the wind with his hot hands, but he didn't take off a layer of clothes, "Your good brother really knows how to choose the time, when we came to meet the storm of Narushu Jiaojiao, and when we arrived, it happened to be the early summer of Oasis Island, what a crow......'s beak," the boatman said with annoyance.

Cassius didn't want to make too much of his bossy brother, so he continued to look at everything in the port, and it was all much more interesting to him now than it was in Nanlingzhou.

Suddenly, Cassiu saw a brown-haired, aged man, holding a handful of flowers in his left hand, standing there blankly, staring at Kasiu.

Cassius quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending to be inadvertently sweeping over him. It was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable looking at such a person, so he opened his mouth and asked the boatman, "Who is that person over there?" ”

The boatman looked at the place indicated by Cassei, paused for a moment, and said to Cassiu: "That's a perennial cheating child here, perennial here to deceive children some ghost tricks, trying to eat a few small money, let's go, the car is over there, a little far, hurry up"

The two of them didn't look back, maybe Cassieu didn't dare to look back, but no one could guess what the boatman was thinking.

The boatman took Cathew to a black ATV with a little spray paint on it, which looked a little edgy.

The two didn't say much, and the boatman motioned for Cassiu to sit in the back seat of the car, and then sat in the driver's seat.

The bottom of the car at the back is high enough for Cassiu, and it takes some effort to get in.

With the roar of the car being started, the body was also trembling slightly, like a bow ready to go, ready to leave the string at any time. Cassius sat upright in the back seat, avoiding the boatman's eyes in the rearview mirror, and looked at him in the corner, inadvertently finding that the sides of his robe pockets seemed to be stuffed with something, and they were all bulging, but Cassius didn't ask much, and continued to lie on the window of the car, continuing to observe this rich and verdant place.

After driving for a long time, I drove around and around along the cliffs near the sea, until I could no longer hear any lively and bustling port sounds, and after replacing it with the sound of summer cicadas, the car stopped on the edge of the cliff, facing the sea on three sides, and it seemed as if it had reached the southernmost tip of Oasis Island.

A line of cliffs rises over the calm Winter Spirit Sea, and the waves gently lap against the majestic island.

"From here, be careful, follow me down. ”

He took out a soft ladder from a dry well next to it, fastened a section to the well with a few thick ropes, lowered the cliff at the other end, and without any worries, began to climb straight down.

Although Cassius is not a pampered nobleman, it is the first time he has encountered such a scary thing as climbing off a cliff.

"Eh, you're so stubborn on the boat, I didn't expect it to be tender, you don't dare to climb this?" he laughed, spurring Cassius in a slightly mocking tone.

"No...... No...... Let me be mentally prepared......" hesitated, looked at the hemp rope firmly fixed to the well, and then slowly climbed down.

The boatman had climbed to a position in the middle of the cliff and stopped to continue urging.

"I can't fly. Kaxiu gritted his teeth and muttered a whisper, and continued to move down a little bit.

As Cassius was about to climb up, the boatman suddenly began to shout at the hole in the stone wall, "Yes, that's right, it's me! Do I still need to take the key? You don't even recognize me? No kidding, hurry up and open the door." ”

The faint sound no longer came from the small hole in the stone wall, and said in a clear and old voice: "Okay, okay, I'll open it for you right away, you're still the same, don't be so anxious." As he spoke, the voice in the microphone in the small hole was about to laugh.

With the friction of a rock, Cassius found that it was not a stone wall, but a mechanical door covered by a layer of artificial stone, and the baffle that had no trace of it was slowly withdrawn until it revealed an artificially created passage, which was dark and could not be seen.

"Come, hold my hand, don't fall" He had already jumped into the passageway, grabbed Kaxiu's hand, and pulled him into the hole.

After jumping into the passage, Cassius turned to look at the ocean below, feeling indescribable, a little afraid.

"Why are your unions so secretive...... Isn't it some kind of improper transaction or something......" Kaxiu looked at the narrow passage, and couldn't see the light at the end, as if it was a dead end, coupled with such a secret structure, he began to take precautions again, looking at this guy who made him frightened, he suddenly felt a little frightened, and he was reluctant to go in, as if the cliff waves just now were much better than this endless darkness. Suspicion to suspicion, Cassius still had to follow the boatman into the depths.

"Think whatever you like. He smiled bitterly, so helplessly that Cassius could feel a kind of mockery of him, and then, in a joking tone, he said to Cassiu, "Go this way, follow close." ”

It was like a huge labyrinth, with roads leading in all directions, seemingly able to trap strangers in this maze at any time, and following the boatman all the way unimpeded, Cassieu suddenly felt that he could not get lost was also a kind of ability.

The passage was very long, and the light behind it was gone, and it seemed that the door was closed, and nothing could be seen, so they could only hold his hand tightly, and walk through the steeper and steeper road, until at last they came to this bronze door with a delicate pattern carved by the oil lamp.

The bronze door was closed, and there were carved small figures, as if they were fighting, scuffling with each other, and several other people, watching from the sidelines, could not see what they were doing. There is also a row of strange texts, again like symbolic meanings, that protrude from the frame that surrounds the door.

The boatman knocked on the door and whispered, "I've arrived." ”

There was a crisp, knuckle-turning sound from the door, which sounded like the beating of musical instruments, regular and bell-like.

From a crack in the middle, two thick doors opened in their direction. Greeted by a small event plaza. The place was like a huge basement, with no sky or sun shining on it, and only a few oil lamps emitting yellow light were installed everywhere. Orange-yellow light fills this underground space.

What's even stranger is that people are walking towards a large house to the north, and it seems to be the largest building in the place.

"Let's go along, this year's party is about to begin. The boatman looked at the tall buildings in the distance, and his tone was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Kasiu followed him closely, holding the boatman's gray-gloved hand. The people here are almost all dressed in black and gray robes, and Kahew is dressed in bright white clothes, which is very unsociable.

The first floor of this tall building resembles a large bar, and the lobby is three stories high in a row, and there are several rows of unusually narrow tables arranged in this hall, which looks very large and wide, and the door is facing it. It is the intersection of two circular staircases on the third floor, which expands into a terrace with a long passage behind it, and on both sides there are doors one after another, one room after another.

"Let's go," said the boatman, in a very gentle tone, but to Cassiu's ears, there seemed to be some nagging.

"Our room number is 9182030, it's still far away, we haven't grabbed the number one at the top this year," said the boatman, as he walked casually, pointing out to Cassius a few small signs, telling him that he had to know these things when he wanted to walk around so that he wouldn't get lost.

At the same time, Cassius also found that there was almost no pattern in the numbering of each room, and the numbers were sometimes large and sometimes small, as if they were arranged randomly. Some of the doors also have some strange symbols on them, and I can't read any of them, and I can't guess anything.

It was almost at the end of the passage that the boatman found the room, which took a lot of effort.

The room was surprisingly very spacious, it was a ten-person suite, and Cassiu couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this, this is simply a cellar-like city.

"Cassiu, you just live in that room, no one has lived in it yet, don't you mind if you go alone?" he pointed to the third-to-last room, and then began to greet the people around him.

The men, dressed almost identically, were discussing with great interest something that Cassius didn't understand, so they could only stare blankly at the boatman, and discuss intently with the others.

After a while, the boatman suddenly turned his head and said to Cassiu, "You have to wear these clothes, or it will look strange." ”

With that, he pointed to the eighth room, asked Cassius to get a set of clothes of the same color as his, and then continued to talk to the people.

"Isn't that hot?" Perhaps after not speaking for too long, Cassiu's words seemed a little hoarse.

"If you're bored, you can go around town, you shouldn't get lost or lose your way in such a big place. In his busyness, he gave Cassius a very hasty explanation, and after saying something to those who had spoken to him, he went upstairs into the sixth room.

Cathew reluctantly put on the bulky outfit, he was a little chubby by the heavy clothes, and he looked shorter than he was.

Holding a banknote given to him by the boatman with the words 'Ten Crowns' written on it, he wandered through the streets, where almost everyone had to go to this and that place to gather, and it seemed that the street was empty, and there was no one in sight.

"There's no one in the store looking at the store, aren't you afraid of losing things?" Cacieu swaggered down the street, deserted, and he went in and out from house to house.

"This is definitely a rich man, ten crowns are ten thousand souls, just give me so many ...... casually" Kaxiu tossed the ten-crown note over and over again, crumpled and crumpled. Although it is said to be **** in Nanlingzhou, it has also reached the point where a poor person can't even afford small snacks. For him, the ten crowns are already a month's savings for many people in Nanling Prefecture.

But there are some very ordinary daily necessities sold in the store, which seem to be similar to those goods in Nanlingzhou, no different. So Cassius didn't go shopping, but put the banknotes in his small fanny pack and didn't go back until he had walked the entire commercial street.

When Cassieu returned to the hotel, there was no one in the lobby, and many people had gone back upstairs to rest. Carthew didn't plan to wander around any longer, so he went straight to the second floor.

He groped his way to the room where the boatman had taken him: 9182030, but he had forgotten which room the boatman had referred to him.

"It seems to be the fourth-to-last" Cassius cautiously walked towards the sixth door, only to hear a voice speaking from inside,

"Didn't you say I was the only one to live in?" he thought, not pushing the door in, but listening carefully to what the people inside were saying.

For the first time, Cassieu could feel the horror of his heart stopping, suffocation.

It was the voice that I had just become familiar with coming out of the door. Maybe the clarity at this time is more of a fear.

"How much value do you think this little fellow can bring us?" said the boatman excitedly.

The outer coast is immersed in the dusk, the blue sky is smeared with a red halo, where the sea and the sky meet, the sunset projects the last, brilliant sunlight, the starry sky is slowly revealed, filled with the staggered sunset, the wind slowly blows through the branches, time quietly changes the oasis island with such a scene, everything looks so kind in the sunset, everyone knows that they will soon be able to see the wonderful starry sky, they have never thought about how magnificent and vast the endless starry sky is.

The silence is broken by the evening breeze, and the alternation of scorching sun and cold moon makes the temperature jump again and again, like the fish in the ocean, leaving a perfect parabola in the sky, reflecting the meteors in the sky.
