Chapter 4: The League of the Desperate
"You say," Ichiro just sat down, remembering what Nuwa had said to him, and turned back to Nuwa, who was still lying on the bed, and said, "Am I a superior, an average, or an inferior person now?" ”
"Of course it's inferior!" Nuwa replied lazily.
"Why?" Ichiro is very unconvinced, even if he is not a superior person, he must be an average person, how can he become the most unbearable inferior person in Nuwa's eyes.
"It's not bad to be inferior, haven't you ever gotten a little red flower," Nuwa said with a smile, "When you think about supervising others and expect to benefit from them, you become an out-and-out inferior person; Because such a person has no ability to go beyond the limits of power, he can only make up for what little solace he has under the upper limit of power and the space that little power he has in his hands. ”
Ichiro stood up and said loudly: "No, I don't want to be an inferior person, I want to be a superior person, I want to be a gentleman!" ”
"Yo, my Britney, you still have this idea, this idea is dangerous." Nuwa straightened up and changed to a more comfortable position, "Listen to my sister, let's wait for someone at the moment." How good it is to wait for people at the moment, eat fragrant and drink spicy. ”
"No," Ichiro walked over, holding the edge of the bed with both hands, and squatted on the edge of the bed, "I wanted to be a class president since I was a child, and I told all my classmates before I became a moral commissioner." I want to be an official, a great official, a great official like Mitarai. How majestic! ”
"It turns out that my Xiao Tiantian wants to be an official," Nuwa's eyes lit up and said, "I said it earlier, I thought you wanted to be a gentleman." I'll just say, a person who has been bad since he was a child should be a gentleman. ”
"To be a great official.... Can't you be a gentleman? After a pause, a sinister aura appeared on his face, "Hmph, when I become a big official, if anyone says that I am not a gentleman, I will kill him." ”
Nuwa's eyes lit up, as if she had found a baby: "There is a future, we can't be a real gentleman, you can pretend to be a gentleman, you are much stronger than that Mitarai, that guy, he just wants to be a villain, the left green dragon and the right white tiger, he just wants to be a villain, and he has no interest at first glance; Just for the idea that you want to be a bitch and want to set up an archway, sister, I will fulfill you. ”
Ichiro frowned and said, "I don't need to say it so ugly." ”
"What do you say then?"
"Hmm~" After thinking about it, Ichiro said, "For the sake of all sentient beings, I don't go to hell who goes to hell." You see, when you say that, it's a lot more noble. ”
"Hahaha, good, good!" Seeing Ichiro gritting his teeth, Nuwa stroked her palms and laughed, "I thought it would take decades, but I didn't expect my plan to be implemented so quickly." If you want to be an official, it's easy to do, kill people and set fires to be recruited. Sister, I'll plan for you now. Nuwa laughed and got up, only to see her wave her hands, and the whole room suddenly became bright. The monitors around the room were also turned on at the same time, "You are in these pictures now, pick one that you are good at, let's start with whistleblowing, this is what you are best at, we are going to set off a vigorous whistleblowing campaign around the world." We, the people, are so happy today! ”
Liu Chang didn't know about Nuwa's series of small actions behind her back, but then again, even if he knew, he couldn't help it and wouldn't stop it, this was someone's 'chicken farm', people didn't want to raise chickens, they wanted to raise rabbits, and no one could control it.
Besides, I still have a lot of things to do, so how can I be nosy.
After a few days of busy work, Liu Chang finally built a mausoleum for Liu Ni on the top of the snow according to the standards of his hometown, the entire tomb is located 800 meters underground, and Liu Chang hollowed out the mountain to form a huge space.
The coffin that housed Liu Ni's body was placed by Liu Chang on a hollow high platform, wearing a phoenix crown and a black queen's wedding dress. Lying quietly in the transparent diamond sarcophagus coffin, Liu Ni closed her eyes and looked serene, as if she had entered a dream.
A huge bluestone tombstone several zhang high stands in front of the mausoleum, on which Liu Chang personally engraves:
The tomb of his wife Liu Ni,
Husband Liu Changli.
The words are like dragons and snakes, such as clouds and flowing water, charming and elegant, soft and rigid, and the rules are harmonious.
Lilia sat alone under the tombstone, one hand caressing the cold tombstone, as if she had been petrified.
It's starting to snow again, the weather on the top of this snowy mountain is simply terrible, God changes his face faster than turning a book, however, this time it is still relatively mild, only snowflakes fall, but there is no wind, this situation is simply too rare.
Lilia turned. At this time, she had already made her face show a serene and optimistic expression, when facing the tombstone, it was best to use this expression, after so many years of getting along with the senior sister, she knew the temper of the senior sister.
He pulled out a colorless bottle of liquid from a package he had brought with him, with a simple white label on it: Nine Spirits.
Nine liquor is a fine wine rebrewed in the hometown of the elder sister. "Han system, Zongmiao drinks in August, one is called wine, one is mellow." It was a high-grade liquor that the emperor used for the worship of Jongmyo at that time.
It had an unpleasant smell that Lilia didn't like. She poured a glass, placed it in front of the tombstone of the senior sister, took out another wine glass and filled it, and drank it as if she were taking medicine.
Her face immediately turned crimson, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. It's like nitric acid, and when you drink it, you have a feeling that a line of fire starts in your throat and goes all the way to your stomach, and then slowly goes out. There was an instant dizziness in my brain, as if I had been hit with a rubber stick on the back of my head.
But then the burning sensation in his stomach subsided, and the world began to look lighter and more pleasant.
She tightened the fur coat she wore on her body, this coat was brought with her when she fled to the base, it had been almost a hundred years, and the hair on it was almost gone, but it was not completely aged, thanks to her daily maintenance---- the memory of her hometown, and there was only this fur coat.
"Oh, Senior Sister," she began to say in a tired, moaning voice, "I said I heard you enter the door. Could you please come and help me take a look at the sink in the kitchen? It's like it's clogged—"
This kind of amateur repair work is almost daily and annoying. It's an old house, built by Ganidoo, and now it's about to collapse. She and her senior sister spent their spare time in this tinkering time.
At first, she didn't understand very much, the most senior sister, she had a better environment and treatment, why did she have to do these meaningless things repeatedly.
Even the farm work in the manor is done by robots, and these tinkering jobs don't have to be done by themselves at all, but the senior sister has to do it herself.
"Why is it blocked again? I said, what's good about you? The senior sister complained in her mouth, but her body was very honest, and she quickly took out all the tools from a corner, "How many times have I told you that leftover fish bones can't be thrown into the sewer, you just don't listen." I pulled out a bunch of fish bones every time. I really convinced you, my teeth are gone, and I like to gnaw bones. The senior sister chattered and complained while trying to clean the sewers.
"Give me the wrench," Liu said, feeling for the nut at the joint.
"Wrench?" Lilia said, unable to make up her mind at once. "I don't know, maybe the kids-".
When several children rushed in, there was a burst of footsteps and giggling laughter, each with a variety of fruits in their arms--- they were here to work, and the fruits in their arms were an additional reward for them.
Lilia brought the wrench.
Liu Ni let go of the dirty water, washed her hands under the tap, and returned to another room---- but the children's wages had to be settled every day.
The busy figure in front of her gradually became blurred, and Lilia couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered in her mouth:
"Look at my father. The father said, "Whew! To the son of the service, the night is endless. Prudence is endless. ”
(Climb the verdant hill and look at my father from afar.) It was as if I heard my father say to me: "My son went on a long trip on business, and he was covered with dew in the morning and stars in the evening." But take care, come back early, and don't stay in a distant land. "The Book of Songs" Author: Anonymous)
The wind picked up again, and the wind carried the snowflakes as if it were joking with her, and drilled down her neckline and cuffs into her body.
Lilia wrapped her coat tightly again, leaning her body tightly behind the tombstone, as if it weren't so cold.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, a wave of sleepiness hit, the eyelids became heavier and heavier, struggled a few times, and finally closed his eyes peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky is clear, the pure and bright morning sun is rising, the colorful clouds in the sky are fluttering, the glow is shining, the colorful clouds float on the top of the mountain, the snow mountain is colorful, the colorful glow lingers around the snow mountain, the scene is beautiful and magnificent.
Liu Chang was scheduled to leave before the sun rose, and now the time has passed.
The corridor was already crowded with impatient guests who were impatient for a walk, these were all people who were willing to follow Liu Chang to leave the planet together, some were their friends, all dressed in the most beautiful clothes, to see them off, and many people came to see them off.
Sure enough, when Liu Chang appeared. Everyone greeted and cheered him. In their opinion, Liu Chang's presence confirmed a rumor that the alien civilization had not completely abandoned the planet, and it was not impossible to retake the planet.
After this noisy and affectionate welcome passed, Jack and Ruyin hurried over. When Jack said something in Liu Chang's ear, the smile on Liu Chang's face slowly disappeared and became solemn.
Watching Liu Chang and his two disciples leave, the rest of the people, whether they were tourists hitchhiking, relatives and friends who came to see them off, or guests who came to join in the fun, all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Liu Chang and the three of them quickly returned to the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the three of them all stood quietly in front of Liu Ni's tombstone, their eyes focused on the figure curled up under the tombstone---- Lilia who had no vital signs and was covered with snow.
For Lilia, Liu Chang didn't have a deep impression of her, but he knew that Nizi had such a number one person by her side, and she had been accompanying Liu Ni. I didn't expect Lilia to reappear in Liu Chang's field of vision in this way, which made Liu Chang feel a little sad in his heart.
"Bury her next to Nizi," Liu Chang said after a long time, "In this way, Nizi will not feel lonely." ”
"Yes, Master," Jack agreed, and commanded the robot to go up and collect Lilia's body.
When Liu Chang and his party reopened the tomb door and prepared to place Lilia next to Liu Ni, the situation in the tomb made Liu Chang, Jack, and Ruyin shocked---- the tomb was messy, even Liu Ni's body showed signs of being moved, and the bracelet on Nizi's wrist was missing--- tomb was stolen!
Ruyin found that the ancestor's face was gloomy, hideous and a little scary, and hurriedly grabbed Jack's arm and buried his body behind Jack, not daring to look directly at the angry ancestor.
After waiting for a while, the expected thunderous fury did not erupt, on the contrary, only a deep sigh. After sighing---, Liu Chang's face returned to normal, and he just said lightly, "Let's go", and then turned around and walked out first.
For this planet, the priceless diamond coffin is not coveted by the tomb robbers, and there are also a lot of valuable gold and silver jewelry worn on Nizi, and even the coffin can be restored to its original state, without the slightest disrespect to Liu Ni, Liu Chang probably guessed the intention of the tomb robbers.
Liu Chang also knows the purpose of taking away the 'missing heart eye', and he just wants to use the 'lack of heart eye' to open the base!
However, the tomb robber may not have thought that the missing eye is a key to open the base, and this key is not able to open all the bases, the so-called one key to open a lock, this is the truth.
If you can get Nuwa's approval with just a key, and open the door to others, Liu Chang thinks that it is not impossible to recognize him as his junior brother.
"Good. By a general standard, I'm 285 years old. But—" Liu Han paused, looking at his audience, Xiang Zhong and Professor Jin Beishan, "but for most of these 285 years, I have lived a very peaceful life, or rather a very dull and boring life. Only twice in my life did I feel the passion for life: when I was 200 years old, I participated in the transformation of a planet at Ganidoo.
Eighty years later, at the base, I copied another of this thing with Carter and Hammus. Liu Han put the 'missing eye' that had been turned off and was in a dormant state in the palm of his hand to play, "I didn't expect it to become a 'coward', a robot afraid of death, for so many years, I have been wondering, what is the problem?" ”
"Today is the 3rd most exciting moment of my life, if only we could perfectly replicate the key and make it recognize me ... We are the masters, and this base is ours.
In this sense, this is the real life, the meaning of life---- as long as we are sincere and work together. ”
Liu Han's despair dropped to freezing point from the first time he saw Liu Ni lying in the coffin---- Senior Sister did not have the rumored 'elixir of immortality'!
For the sake of this rumored miracle medicine, he can be said to have abandoned his family and used all means. Now, with hope dashed, all he has to do now is how to survive on this planet.
Liu Han's pretended excitement did not infect his two desperate listeners, Xiang Zhong was still very depressed, Jin Beishan, as before, in the tomb of Liu Ni ---- dejected, all his hopes were shattered, there was no immortal elixir at all!
As for Xiang Zhong, when he knew that his ancestor Liu Chang was coming in person, and his sweetheart Ruyin not only had his rival Jack by his side, but now there was also another ancestor, his original hope could be said to be completely shattered, and he didn't have the courage to snatch someone under Liu Chang's eyelids.
Beishan stood up majestically, and Xiang Zhong reminded him: "Don't pay attention to him, he will draw a big cake!" "Now Xiang Zhong can be said to be resentful, his daughter-in-law is lost, and his home is gone.
"Liu Han" the old man's voice was deep, "What kind of friendship, compatriots and the like you just talked about is completely nonsense, I want to ask, when did your people treat us as compatriots?" When have you cosmic people ever been friendly to our planet and the people on this planet? Of course, you are descendants of earthlings, but you have long forgotten your ancestors.
For many years, cosmic humans have controlled the galaxy and regarded us as a short-lived inferior people who can spread diseases. Now that we are getting stronger, you extend the hand of friendship, but with gloves on your hands and a filter in your nose. Am I not right? ”
Liu Han stretched out his hands: "You are right, sir." I had gloves on my hands and a filter in my nose. But it's not your fault, it's our weakness. I don't have a strong resistance, I live too well, but it's not a lifestyle I can personally choose. If you live on our planet, you will do the same. ”
The old man said: "Yes, I will do the same, but I will see it as a weakness of humanity, and I will try my best to overcome this weakness, and don't come to talk nonsense with us about a community of destiny." When you were strong, you persecuted us. Now that you're weak, you've come to show us off!
You are right, the mission of the strong is to oppress the weak, so when the balance of power changes, when you become strong, it is as if you will not oppress the weak. Ah, I'm tired of hearing that! When you are strong, you never speak of morality. You are weak, but you have come to talk about morality!
When you are weak, you emphasize morality; Now that you are strong, you have forgotten. It is worse for a moral person to forget morality than for an immoral person to learn morality! ”
"You should repay your grievances with virtue, and you should understand the principle of 'do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'" Liu Han stretched out his arms in a hug gesture. "You know that it is wrong for the strong to oppress the weak, but you still insist on doing so, which is tantamount to saying that what the cosmic people did in the past was right.
I'm talking about the opposite. We know that we have been wrong in the past and should not repeat them in the future. Unfortunately, we can't change the past, but we can decide the future! Liu Han is very helpless, there is no way, who calls himself now under someone else's roof. I can't go back home, my wife and children are gone, if I can't get a foothold here, I will really become a lost dog, and Liu Han can only swallow his anger for Beishan's aggressiveness.
