Chapter 8: Vincy's Message
"Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly!" Jack jumped up all of a sudden, took Liu Chang's hand, and ran out. In the current situation, he didn't dare to let Ruyin break into here, if she found that her pet was covered in a ball by herself, and her body was full of tubes, let alone propose, she was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed.
Fortunately, the outside room is my usual lounge, and after work, I eat and drink here, and there is no shortage of food and drink.
Like a whirlwind, Jack filled the table with all kinds of food, eating and drinking. They also carefully stirred each piece of food with utensils, giving people the impression that they had been eating for a long time;
Liu Chang laughed out loud and continued, "Don't taunt me, kid. Confucius said, 'If you don't cut properly, don't eat', but I'm a person of royal blood, and I seriously follow etiquette, and you mess up all the meals like this, and how do I eat?" Look at how you make a mess of these meals, like a pig's trough. β
Jack looked at the table and shook his head in frustration. "Master, my dear Master, I beg you, I will do it; Oh yes, wine, and wine! As he spoke, he grabbed the wine bottle quickly, and regardless of whether Liu Chang wanted it or not, he poured a large glass, and then put it in front of Liu Chang, and drank half of his cup in one gulp for the sake of realism. I also deliberately removed a few bones and put them in the slag tray at hand.
Liu Chang calmly looked at Jack, who was in a hurry, but did all these things in an orderly manner: "I have a daughter-in-law" Liu Chang said, "Is it really so terrible?" β
"Are you sure that when you face our future grandmother, you can be as calm as you are now?" Jack asked indistinctly, stuffing his mouth with braised pork.
"Cut! , I'll be afraid of her... Liu Chang said.
Jack poured a large spoonful of porridge into his mouth and looked at Liu Chang with an inquiring gaze. Women are a belly of folk wisdom, since they were 'liberated', they have taken all the unreasonable as their own natal magic weapon, and she can see at a glance all kinds of secrets that you have hidden with your heart.
"Does she think we're afraid of her?" Liu Chang then asked.
"Probably not." "Remember, once we have a secret in our hearts, the only thing we can do is to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and drinking is the best tool for you to tell the truth as if it were a drink, or you can take it as the truth." Because, whether it is the truth or the wine, they will believe it, or they may not believe it. Jack proudly taught his ancestors how to live peacefully with his wife.
"Really?" Liu Chang asked.
"Of course it's true, tried and tested. Don't you admit it after --- drinking! Jack replied briefly, then turned to leave.
After a while, Jack returned with Ruyin.
Ruyin's expression was a little lonely, and she found a place to sit down in a corner without saying a word, of course Liu Chang knew the reason---- what was deliberately hidden, how could she find it.
Jack and Liu Chang exchanged glances, sharing some kind of secret, and then bent down, each looking around and enjoying their respective food quickly.
"It bothers her." Liu Chang finally couldn't help it, leaned over to Jack's side, and whispered.
"It's going to be annoying for anyone else." Jack smiled briefly, "It probably wasn't all there. β
"She wouldn't really guess, would she?"
"Who knows, you can't leave it to chance. She would have guessed, and she was quite accurate. Jack said.
"Really? β¦β¦ Is it that amazing? β
"You know, we could be wrong, too." Jack sighed and continued, "But I can't be wrong. Rational imagination and terrifying experiences give them a sensitive sixth sense before they are born, which is intuition. Because, who can know, even if they are born with logical flaws, but, just by intuition, they can guess the truth of the matter. β
"I've heard that before." Liu Chang said, "But if that's the case, why haven't we been attacked by this kind of soul? β
"May it be our ancestors' spirits in heaven who bless us. Let her be unresponsive today, I hope she forgot about today. Jack said.
As soon as the words fell, I heard Ruyin's voice ringing in my ears: "What are you two muttering, what are you saying?" Is there something you're hiding from me? Ruyin's words were like Huang Zhong Dalu, which shocked Liu Chang's brain.
"You, you... Did I speak? Liu Chang raised his head suddenly, just to face to face with Ruyin, looking at Ruyin's smiling face, at least Liu Chang felt that the face was very connotative.
"I don't know." Jack shook his head at the rattle, "Maybe one of our parents is still alive, or maybe it's just because we're young and strong." Maybe when we get older and become more cynical...... We must be careful with this future grandmother. Jack said.
"You don't really think... Liu Chang suddenly remembered what Jack said just now, this kid had already begun to pretend to be drunk and talk nonsense, and he quickly pretended to be confused, "What did I just say?" I can't remember. This girl interrupted my train of thought. β
"I don't judge this," Jack seemed to have just noticed Ruyin, who seemed to have forgotten that he had brought Ruyin in, "dear... When did you come? β
Liu Chang also shook his head vigorously, "I believe in these nonsense about the sixth sense!" Liu Chang said, "Believe what you want to believe." It's really a soul attack, and it hits the nail on the head. β
"You think it's because we haven't dared to try this psychic crit yet, and someone has already tried it." Jack said.
"That's exactly what I thought. I also want to see if she has any extrasensory feelings. β
"She's coming." Jack used his eyes to convey what he wanted to say.
Ruyin's eyes stopped on Jack's face, Jack nodded at her, his eyes were a little confused, and said, "It's the master who wants me to have a drink with him, my dear, you know, I rarely drink." Jack betrayed Liu Chang without hesitation, and his tone was quite calm, so that even Liu Chang believed what he said.
"You see, my dear," said Jack, "I have made special preparations to-day to welcome his old man. β
She looked at the two men separately, then at the table of sumptuous dishes, and then said, "Keep your mouths shut, both!" Ruyin seemed to have forgotten her seniority, even in the face of Liu Chang---- the ancestral master, she also put on a lofty posture, tucked her black hair behind her head, and tied it into two golden hair rings. Her brow was furrowed on her egg-shaped face, and the muscles around her mouth were tense, like a disobedient schoolboy with a master.
"I've warned you how to behave today," Ruyin said, "and you know the reasons for this, just like me." β
"We know your cause, but you probably don't know ours." Liu Chang said.
"You!" Ruyin shouted angrily.
Jack stared at him and said, "As usual, we won't be pretending to be giggling babies today." β
"No one made you giggle." "But I don't think it's wise to let me know that you're hiding edamame and that you've deceived me by your words and actions." β
Jack shook his head, pretending that he really didn't know, while Liu Chang thought in his heart: Why can Ruyin see what we are suspicious? How did she do it? He paid special attention to the subtle change in the expression on Ruyin's face, but unexpectedly, this move revealed the secret in his heart, "What are you doing with me?" Is your heart empty? β
She said: "Every time I show up, Edamame can feel it, it never hides from me---- you two are sneaky today, I always feel like you two are playing tricks." β
Liu Chang nodded, "Why did you choose to come back at this time?" You should look for it, it may be asleep. It often hides somewhere to sleep--- it is an abnormal plant. β
Jack straightened his face and said seriously: "It's still an indecent plant." As soon as it sees me, it runs. β
"I can't let her stay here," Liu Chang thought, "she already has suspicions, and that's enough." The story of the suspected neighbor stealing the axe may be repeated. Just when Liu Chang racked his brains and thought of a way to fool this aunt away, he listened, "Do you have any opinions?" Ruyin asked.
"It's a reasonable choice," Jack picked up Ruin's words, "you know what it's like to be a man like us. β
"You really didn't do it?" Ruyin said, "You two don't know what Edamame thinks...... It just wants to live well, how pitiful it is, it doesn't even have a home. β
"You know?!" Liu Chang continued.
"Yes!" Ruyin gritted her teeth and said. "As the saying goes, once you leave home, you will be a homeless man for the rest of your life."
Jack, you're playing a dangerous game, Liu Changxiang. But he still continued Ruyin's words and said: "You are homesick, you miss your parents and your brothers and sisters, Ruyin, you know its thoughts; You can surely guess what she will do. Liu Chang asked, "I mean, you must know where its home is, right?" β
"I don't know," Alia shook her head.
She looked around, looked at the narrow central passage, then turned back to the pair and said, "If my parents had known I would never see them again, we wouldn't be standing here nowβand neither will I." I'm going to be one of her children who will be there for them at any time, and it's all ......" she shrugged, her body trembling slightly, "I warn you two to be careful with what you say and do today. Ruyin raised her head, "I'm going back"
"My dear, if you insist on going back" Jack was also a little moved, but he didn't expect Ruyin to put his mind on that edamame, and he actually pinned his sweetheart's thoughts on his family, "It's not too difficult to find your way home, we can do it." β
"It's still here," Ruyin wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't kill it, okay?" β
Liu Chang and Jack exchanged glances, and Liu Chang said in surprise: "How do you know?" β
"I can feel it." Ruyin said, she turned around and walked quickly towards the passage.
Jack wiped away a tear from his right eye.
Liu Chang took a deep breath: "The way she looks, she is indeed homesick." "Do you have a better explanation?" β
"Just to explore," said Jack, "why our father ...... Even our grandmothers...... Didn't feel this way."
Liu Chang looked at him carefully, and then said, "You know the answer to this question as well as I do. They have already formed a fixed character and personality before they arrive at the base. As for homeβ......," he shrugged, "They weren't born with a sense of home, but they ...... it."
"Why?" Jack bit his lower lip, "Ruyin is the same as us, we live in the same environment and receive the same education, but why is she ......?"
"She ushered in a new era for the next generation." Liu Chang said, "Home is a missing link in our education, we pay too much attention to the concept of collectivity, don't you think so......"
"No, I don't think so!" Jack avoided the inquiring gaze of his ancestor, and his body trembled slightly. In his understanding, human beings, as one of the species in the universe, should be like dandelions, and when the seeds are ripe, they must scatter around and spread their genes to all corners of the universe as much as possible, and the possible reasons are...... He shuddered again.
"It's a pity that there aren't many people in our extended family history who went from birth to death just to be with their parents and loved ones." Jack said.
"Maybe we already have." Liu Chang said.
"But we've ...... Aha, yes, we're facing this old problem again," Jack laughed, "What's the meaning of life, why live and why die?" β
Through his own chaotic thoughts, Jack sensed that the conversation had disturbed his emotions. They have explored this issue several times, but each time it has been fruitless.
"Our endurance may be far beyond that of ordinary people," Liu Chang agreed, "Look at Ruyin, how much she endures." β
"I sympathize with her," Jack said, "for someone who has never been away from her parents, and that feeling is when you're away from themγγγγγγ She'd already experienced it once, and now the feeling sneaked around her again until ......"
"Yes, she was a victim," Mr. Liu said.
"We could also be wrong."
"Possibly."
"I've been thinking," Jack said thoughtfully, "if I could collect all the memories of my ancestors......"
"History is at your pillow." Liu Chang said.
"We have to create opportunities to talk to our grandmothers about this. That's what she left in my memory urging me to do. Jack said.
Liu Chang met his gaze and said, "There is too much knowledge and information, so I can't make simple decisions. It always has been. Remember Leonardo da Vinci? β
"You mean, Vincy!" Jack was shocked, Vincy was his idol, alone, representing the entire base into the tiger's den; It's just that from the disgusting password and verification code last time, I knew a little bit of his news, and there was no more information about him, and today I heard this name from the mouth of the master ancestor, and I immediately came to the spirit.
Liu Chang looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you laughing at?" β
Jack said, "Master, do you remember that detector? β
"Probe? Hehe" Liu Chang couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you remember, this kid set up more than 8,800 passwords for one of other people's detectors, and also made a verification code of 'incorrect answer, is the correct answer', which is purely to pit people to death." β
Jack asked, "Master, why did you suddenly talk about him?" He's coming back? β
Liu Chang said: "I talked about him because of a game. β
"Games?"
"Yes, it's a gameγγγγγγ" So, Liu Chang told Jack carefully what he knew about the details of this game.
"The game... Can you still play like this? Jack's eyes straightened. If you also establish a clone in your legendary hometown --- Earth, then you can go home at any time. Ruyin misses her parents, and brings her meaning to the body of the doppelganger, and has a close contact with her parents, this is a 'go if you want to, go back if you want to' trip? "Vincy has a doppelganger with us?"
"What do you want" Liu Chang glanced at Jack, who was full of excitement, and poured a basin of cold water on him, "This game is very expensive, and he can't get out of the novice training school now." β
"Money?" Since he was born, Jack has a very vague concept of money, and he has never felt how important money is, anyway, if he doesn't have enough money, he can go to the botanical garden or zoo to work, or run errands and deliver some takeaways, and he can get 'game currency', and he doesn't think it is difficult to earn money.
"Na" Liu Chang groped around his body, took out a few coins, lined them up on the table, and then introduced them one by one, "This is the domain coin, this is the pure gold, this is the slip." β
"Domain Coins?"
"Yes, domain currency, as the name suggests, it is the currency that is common in this galaxy, and any galaxy that can trade freely in the galaxy can use it to settle settlements, and it is also the local currency of our galaxy. This one,It's pure gold.,Compared with the domain currency.,It's equivalent to gold and copper coins.γγγγ Oh, you haven't seen copper coins, Mi Qi, Mi Qi have you seen it" Seeing Jack nodding, Liu Chang continued, "Mi Qi, who does interstellar transportation, she can earn a few Adamantine gold at most once, which can be converted into domain coins, but tens of thousands." β
"That... Jack had never seen any of these things before, so he had to ask a different question, "How does it compare to Sha Coin?" β
"Sha coin" Liu Chang picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, and then said, "Sha coin is the stupid planet's own currency, there is no comparison at all, let's put it this way, for the domain currency, it is worthless!" Because--- it doesn't circulate at all! As for this Ti Yu" Liu Chang is similar to a piece of paper, there seems to be something like runes hidden on it, and he plays with it repeatedly in his hand, this thing was given to him by Governor Alan when he left, how much it is worth, how much it is worth, he doesn't know, "It is said that it costs one million pure gold." β
