Chapter 65: The Outside World (Happy New Year's Day)
(Here, I wish you all a new year, peace, good wishes, happiness, folded hands, bow down and bless.) οΌ
"It's a wonderful world out there."
This is what Chu Huan once said to Li Xun.
When she was a child, Li Xun was strictly guarded, and every time she went out, she always hugged and followed a group of people, which made her very disgusted - her every word and deed was monitored, and the feeling of no personal freedom made her a little suffocated.
Although she can go anywhere, she always feels like a bird in a cage, and she can't fly if she wants to.
She envies the children of ordinary families and always yearns for the outside world.
Because she was always restricted in her freedom, she became a little withdrawn and began to like to be alone, and when children of the same age went to climb mountains and go to the playground, she would rather choose to be alone at home in a daze.
It would be nice if I could stay in a daze all the time.
Li Qianfan hired a lot of tutors for her...... So Li Xun's grades are very good, and he always comes out on top in every exam.
It wasn't until she met Chu Huan when she went to high school.
Chu Huan's memory is outstanding, and he always remembers a lot of knowledge in books after reading it a few times, and every time he goes to class...... More often than not, it's sleeping.
At first, Li Xun didn't understand that a person who often slept in class had such good grades, and Chu Huan must have some secrets.
Until now, Li Xun still remembers that the two did not say a word for a few days after they became at the same table.
The two deliberately kept their distance.
Chu Huan knows Li Xun, the second lady of the Li family, this is a golden phoenix, she can't climb high, and it is said that she has a stubborn and arrogant temper.
So what he thinks is that he can't afford to hide if he can't be provoked, although the two are at the same table, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water.
And Li Xun knew Chu Huan's origin, it was a parent-teacher meeting shortly after the new students started.
The eyebrow fish is coming.
The arrival of Mei Xiaoyu has attracted great attention from most male teachers and male students in the school.
That is, since then, Chu Huan has slept in class, and there is no teacher to punish him.
Out of curiosity, Li Xun asked the driver of the Li family and learned the origin of Mei Xiaoyu.
This made her even more curious about Chu Huan.
Just like later, I couldn't help it, the first time the two spoke, Li Xun first asked Chu Huan: "Wenxianglou...... The girl doesn't have to study, right? β
Chu Huan replied: "Study, how can you be born with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, learning for three or five years is just scratching the surface, and it will be considered a teacher for more than ten years." β
In this way, the two broke the deadlock and began to get acquainted.
In Chu Huan's eyes, Li Xun was not as full of the eldest lady's temper as rumored by the outside world.
In Li Xun's eyes, this boy who grew up in the red light district does not have many vices.
Until the end of the semester, Li Xun invited Chu Huan to Li Mansion as a guest, because the two of them made a bet to see who would score high in the exam.
The seven homework courses were added together, and Chu Huan lost, and the total score was six points less than Li Xun.
The loser listens to the arrangement of the winning side.
It was the first time Chu Huan went to the Li Mansion, and he had a full meal.
Before this, Li Qianfan had already made Chu Huan's bottom clear, and he did not object to the two becoming friends.
Because of Chu Huan's background, Li Qianfan thought that Li Xun was overflowing with sympathy.
Later, the two met to climb the mountain and play, but Li Qianfan didn't take it to heart.
So far, the two have become friends who talk about everything.
After the college entrance examination, Li Xun asked Chu Huan why he didn't go to college.
Chu Huan said that it is of little use to learn the knowledge that is ruled by the ruling class.
Li Xun was admitted to the best university in Yong'an.
If it weren't for that accident......
The two should meet to go fishing this season, as in previous years.
Standing by the window and looking at the outside world, Li Xun recalled the past, thinking that it had been half a month, why didn't Chu Huan make a phone call?
She knew that Yong'an didn't have a communication network now, but Li Xun believed in Chu Huan's wisdom, and if he wanted to contact him, there must be a way.
At the moment, the sky outside is very blue, and the sun is very warm.
But her heart was a little unspeakably sad.
"Xiao Xun, there's wind in the window, don't catch a cold." Zhao Longfei was peeling pineapples, and when he saw Li Xun standing by the window for a long time without moving, he reminded him loudly.
"Brother Fei, is something happening to Yong'an again?"
"The Yong'an Army is about to go on the march." Zhao Longfei said: "It's just these two days." β
"I'm asking about Yong'an's ......," Li Xun said, turning to look at Zhao Longfei: "Is there anything going on in the red light district?" β
"Nope." As soon as the hand that was peeling the pineapple stopped, Zhao Longfei looked up at Li Xun: "I haven't heard of anything important happening." β
After speaking, in order to divert Li Xun's attention, he cut off a piece of the peeled pineapple, inserted it with a knife and fork, and handed it to Li Xun.
Li Xun took it and tasted it.
Sweet and sour.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but it's a little bitter in the end.
"The doctor said that your arm is fine, and it should be completely healed by another injection of the mutant gene next week."
Li Xun didn't speak, in order to suppress the living dead virus, after careful consideration, she decided to inject mutant genes, and now she is still in the gene fusion stage, but with the financial resources of the Li family, there will be no problem in injecting high-level genes in the future.
"According to what you mean, I have completed the transfer procedures, and you can go to the School of Artificial Intelligence of Lingyun University next week."
Li Xun nodded, the reason why she chose the School of Artificial Intelligence was because she felt that this was the future, and she knew that Li Qianfan was against these...... But after so many changes, Li Xun has his own ideas.
Now that she is older, she also wants to live the life she wants like Chu Huan.
"I heard that this war against the Great Wilderness Continent has also sent people from the Intelligence Academy to participate." Zhao Longfei said the news he knew: "Lin Tian, who is known as a genius in the Intelligence Academy, led the team, as if he was going to test Peiguo's second-generation mecha. β
Li Xun didn't say anything, she had heard of Lin Tian when she was in Yong'an, a genius at Lingyun University and one of the inventors of the first generation of mechas.
She looked out the window again, and it was the direction of Yong'an.
A word suddenly came to her mind.
I hate to see each other late.
β¦β¦
There is a mountain that rises into the sky in Dayi Island, which is called the sacred mountain.
Because there is a palace on the top of the hill.
Jingu.
If ordinary people want to go to the shrine to worship, they need to climb 9,909 steps.
What many people don't know is that Mount Kinabalu has long been hollowed out, and there is a secret tunnel in it that leads from the foot of the mountain to the shrine.
In addition, it has been rumored that there are mountains of gold and silver treasures in the mountain.
There are five elders in the Divine Palace, and above them, is the Divine Emperor, representing the supreme power of the divine right.
Jingguo is a theocratic country, the whole country believes in gods, among the several countries in Dayizhou, Jingguo is the smallest country, but it is a country where all people have faith.
This country with a population of less than one million can be said to be just a city, but in the whole of Dayizhou, there are tens of millions of believers.
It is rumored that the shrine is a branch of the Great Wilderness Continent Temple.
For the people of Dayizhou, the temple is too far away, and the shrine is the holy place in their hearts.
At least five million pilgrims come to the shrine every year, and unlike Peiguo, who has always preached how unbearable the outside world is, the shrine has always preached to its followers that the outside world is heaven.
The shrine said how beautiful it was outside, naturally some people didn't believe it, and then they went to Dayouzhou and Dajiangzhou to go around and find out that some of these places are really good, medical care is free, and doctors with fever and cold also recommend eating popsicles...... It's just that the mortality rate of serious illness is too high...... And at every turn, they shoot each other with guns without saying a word...... Many people turned around and returned to Jingguo, and immediately donated money and materials to the shrine, believing in the gods wholeheartedly.
It's like there was a time in history when the Stardust Federation always told the people that the outside world was hell.
A lot of people just want to go out and see what hell is like.
As a result, I went to Jingguo to take a look, huh? People's lives are extremely simple, more money and less money will not cause others to care, everyone respects their hearts and lives very happily, so many people from the Stardust Federation chose to stay after coming to Jingguo.
This is human beings, and their desires are insatiable.
Just like a saying that has been widely circulated in the shrine:
Flowers don't bloom all the time, but they do bloom all the time.
Many people in this world have been pursuing the future, eternal life, and heaven on earth.
It's like the Three Princes.
The God Emperor is seriously ill, and the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting for the position of the God Emperor for decades, and now they are even more incompatible.
So the third prince left, unwilling to see the two elder brothers fratricidal.
The presence of the third prince in Jingguo is far less than that of the eldest prince and the second prince, so the disappeared third prince is just one less news figure for many people.
Just because there's no news doesn't mean no one cares.
For example, the God Emperor.
"Why did the third child go to the Great Wilderness Continent?" In front of the hospital bed, the Divine Emperor looked at the Great Elder standing aside and asked.
"Looks like it's for an artifact."
"Could it be that he doesn't care about the position of the God Emperor at all?"
ββ¦β¦β
This topic was too sensitive, and the Great Elder kept silent, who would be the God Emperor in the future...... Although he has a candidate in mind, it is far from the time to bring it up.
Before the old god emperor announced the next god emperor on TV, the battle between the god emperor would not be closed.
Seeing that the Great Elder was silent, the Divine Emperor suddenly coughed, and the Great Elder hurriedly stepped forward and patted the Divine Emperor's back, and after spitting out a mouthful of bloody purulent phlegm, the Divine Emperor felt a little more comfortable: "Send someone to find the third child back, and say that I am dying." β
"Your Majesty, do you need to bring the heart lamp?"
"I'm terminally ill, don't waste the power of the heart lamp anymore." Saying that, the God Emperor smiled: "People will inevitably die after all, but before I die, I always have to hand over the Divine Palace to reliable people." β
The Great Elder didn't think that the Third Prince was reliable, otherwise the Third Prince would not have listened to his persuasion and chose to leave Jingguo at this time.
"This place is so stuffy, I can't talk nonsense every day, I want to go to the outside world to see."
"You can do whatever you want, you can say whatever you want, and it's fun to think about it."
These were the original words of the third prince when he refuted the Great Elder's dissuasion.
Looking at the three princes who looked forward to the outside world, the Great Elder didn't say a word.
Freedom is not about doing what you want, it's about not doing what you don't want to do.
β¦β¦β¦
No one is born with a love of war.
After all, the word war represents bloodshed and sacrifice.
On the day the fight against the terrorists was announced, the armies of Peiguo and the Stardust Federation arrived in the Ruined City one after another.
At this moment, there are four people in the battle tent discussing the details of the siege at night.
They are:
General of the Central Army of Peiguo, Marquis of Peiguo, Meng Jue.
A major general of the Yongan Army, a rising star of the Central Army, Luo Linlu.
A lieutenant general of the Stardust Federation Army, Guo Fei.
The genius of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Lingyun University, Lin Tian.
At this point, war is on the verge of breaking out.
Lin Tian did not participate in the detailed study of the war, no matter what form the war started, the mecha team he led would be the first to charge.
Lin Tian doesn't like war, and even hates war a little, he only likes to study mechas.
Do what you don't like with the career you love.
Lin Tian felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
It's not just him, it's the world.
As his teacher, Dr. Liu, said:
"How many people can really decide their own destiny?"
"The outside world is helpless."
