Chapter 245: Familiar Home and Former People
The familiar streets, the dim but unextinguished lights, descending the handrails of the stairs, Heshea's footsteps stopped, and looked at the rows of buildings outside immersed in the night, many of them brightly lit, some of them off, as if she could hear the voices of people talking in the lights.
Shortly after exiting the elevator, Heshea and Clara also separated due to the lack of travel, and Heshea was left alone with her suitcase and walking through the connecting pipes between the blocks.
As a wartime planned city, each floor of the underground residential area of Arpeggio City will be divided into many different modules, they are not next to each other, separated by thick concrete layers, and are not directly connected to each other, but are connected by large pipelines, this is to prevent the chain damage caused by the ground-drilling nuclear bomb, so that the explosion is limited to a part of the area, and other modules can be preserved, at the same time, such a structure can also be easily controlled, just close the passage, you can block an area module.
After more than ten minutes of walking, Heshia's footsteps stopped in front of the high-rise building where he lived before, and it was still the same as before, not much has changed in just one or two years, and occasionally Heshia could still see one or two familiar figures.
However, after some makeup and changes, she was not recognized, and everyone just passed by.
Walking a short distance to the house, Hehia found that it had been cordoned off, with two thick layers of bulletproof steel added to the passage to both sides of her house, and two cameras scanning the surrounding area.
Just as Hehia wondered if she was going to make a phone call to ask about the situation, the closed layer of bulletproof steel slowly cut open a square door, and then a mechanical synthesis sound sounded.
"Welcome back."
With curiosity, Heshia walked in and found that there were two tall self-discipline anti-riot units parked inside, and looking at the paint and appearance, it should also be some kind of advanced model, these two anti-riot units guarded both sides of the gate like goalkeepers, and when Heshia came in, it gradually activated, projecting lines of text in front.
After reading the above instructions, explanations, and some scope of authority, Hehia probably understood what they do.
This should be a small measure within the scope of the federal law on the protection of the singer, to protect her residence from thieves and robbers, and at the same time as a deterrent, although there are only two self-regulatory units, but they are directly connected to the local security agencies, once the signal is no longer transmitted, or there is an abnormality, it will not take a few minutes for the local special police force to rush over.
Of course, according to the scope of the granted authority, Heshea can only command them within the confines of her own settlement, and cannot take them out, nor can she attack outsiders at will.
"Thank you."
Even though she knew that it was just a matter of following the rules, Hehia was grateful that they had taken care of the details and had not interfered too much in her own life.
After opening the door with the key, the facilities and furnishings inside were still exactly the same as when she left, the pale white frost covered the entire room, and there were no additional footprints or marks.
The important things that Heshia had already taken away, even if the house disappeared, there would be nothing, but there were still a lot of nostalgic memories left here, the traces of the use of the dining table and the sofa, the old clothes that were no longer worn, and the people in the frame, all made Heshia feel a kind of familiarity, and the memories came back like a tide.
Putting down the suitcase, the girl took off her glasses, shook her head lightly, and returned to her former pale gray appearance, and the hoarfrost in the room quickly dissipated and returned to its usual appearance.
I'm finally back.
Taking off her shoes, Heshea stepped over the familiar floor with her socks on, opened the little bedroom where she remembered spending many days and nights, and then jumped on it and lay down on the bed.
Feel the softness of the mattress, the faint familiar fragrance, look at the familiar ceiling, and hear a familiar sound in the distance, which is the noise of the night market not far from the residential area.
After a while, Heshia got up again, put on her shoes again, and the suitcase was opened, and the big spider was circling the hall with five birds, and a few legs were raised to gesturing something, which probably meant that I had been here a long time ago, and I was your senior, and you had to be obedient or something.
Watching this scene, Hehia smiled, then briefly told them not to break things, and then changed into casual clothes and went out again.
When she got to the door, she put on her glasses and carried her handbag before going out, this time wanting to go to the store to buy something and come back to cook.
Anyway, she hasn't cooked for a long time, and now she even feels a little rusty.
Walking through the sparsely populated streets, Hesheia made her way to the shop she had frequented, still the same as before, walking past the shelves, on which her fingers slowly swiped, and then picked out the things she wanted to buy and put them in her bags.
[T6 White Thread Japonica Rice, 6.31 Federal/500g, T6 Snow-streaked Cabbage, 5.12 Federal/200g, T6 Fresh Red Meat, 21.25 Federal/500g, T5 White Strawberry, 34.47 Federal/200g, T5 Purple Liquid Mulberry, 46.72 Federal/200g......]
Compared to the previous prices, the change is not much, meat and mulberries have risen a little, but strawberries and cabbage have decreased slightly.
Based on her experience, Hesia skillfully selected the vegetables to buy, and then took three boxes of strawberries and mulberries, and also bought a bag of T5 high-quality apples.
[A total of 487.25 federal coins will be collected, thank you for your patronage]
The cashier robot finished settling the receipt, typed out the receipt voucher, and Hehia took it and put it in her handbag.
There are no discounts, she used to come often, she could get about 5% off the price, but now she has been away from home for too long, and the store here has automatically canceled the discount for her long-term customers.
But with her current economic situation,I don't care about this money.,Since becoming a singer.,Not only is there a monthly official federal subsidy.,There are also various peripherals.,Licensing income from music, film and television products,In addition, there are scholarships from Eddes School Park, etc.,Heshea hasn't looked at the balance on the card for a long time.,It's gradually numb to that ever-expanding number.。
Thinking about it carefully, even Themia back then didn't have the money she has now, Heshia suddenly realized this, and then shook her head again, feeling a little incredible.
Although money and wealth cannot fully evaluate a person, there are still many people in society who value it, because it is the most intuitive and universal evaluation system.
Before she knew it, she had left Themia behind.
Even if Themia is now back to her peak and the two are fighting each other, she will not feel afraid and scared.
Sure enough, any truth still needs to be supported by realistic strength, blindly pursuing psychological illusory power, and refusing to take a step in reality, it is just a fantasy after all.
But if the two are combined, with a firm goal and self-confidence, and clear and down-to-earth actions, many things can be accomplished, and there is no longer fear.
The occasional thought that popped up floated through Heshia's mind, and by the time she had finished thinking about it, she had returned home.
The big spider had turned on the heater in the house, and a few bare cotton birds were squatting in the orange-red halo, as if they were enjoying themselves.
Animal happiness is as simple as that, Heshia changed into slippers and went to the kitchen to wash the fruit, then put it on a plate and came to the hall, she knelt on the mat in front of the coffee table, then turned on the TV, watched the latest programs and news, and then put the fruit bowl on the table.
The big spider that smelled the fragrance jumped onto the table at once, and was held down by Hesia.
"Are you sure you want to eat, if you want to eat, you have to eat it, and you are not allowed to gnaw half and throw half away." She smacked the mischievous fellow, then handed the big spider a purple mulberry to nibble on.
"Chirp~~~Chirp~~" A few small cotton birds who couldn't find the big spider seniors spun around under the coffee table, and occasionally pecked Heshia's knees, so that Heshia had to reach out and grab them, and then find a box and put all these little guys inside.
The big dark red apple was tossed up by the girl, and then a few cold flashes of light, and the apple was cut into small pieces in the air, and then fell into a crystal bowl made of ice, Heshia picked it up and put it in the box, and let the five light cotton birds peck and eat.
Three-dimensional images projected on the TV show scenes from the recent Winter Festival Gala, as well as celebrations held by each channel, including programs that introduce various movies and films.
Leisurely flipping through the show, the originally deserted home has also become a little lively because of the opening of the TV.
After eating the washed strawberries, Hehia got up, went back to her room, took out a blanket and sat down on the sofa, covering herself, when there was a burst of cheers outside the window, as if someone was setting off the kind of colorful fireworks that erupted from the ground in the square, some children were shouting, and among them there were laughs from adults.
Standing by the window, Heshia also watched for a while, then returned to her room and continued to watch the show, during which she occasionally received text messages from several friends.
In this way, after the zero o'clock show was played, Heshia turned off the TV and went back to sleep in the bedroom, while the big spider and the five little ones slept in the box next to the bed.
With memories and various emotions, Heshia slowly fell into a deep sleep until after nine o'clock the next day, when she woke up.
I'm still a little sleepy, but I won't be able to sleep anymore.
After getting up and washing her face with cold water, she took a few gifts and walked out of the house to Grandma He's house, which was not far away.
"Who, wait a minute." When the doorbell rang, Grandma Ho walked over, and then Heshea briefly reverted to her gray hair, for the old man to recognize, and then the door opened.
"Is it Heshia, come in, come in." The old man was a little surprised, and his steps trembled a little, and he hurriedly let the girl in.
"Why didn't you tell me before you came, I was ready to order a lot of food, and I arrived so suddenly, and the room hadn't been cleaned yet, it really made Heshia embarrassed." Grandma He said a little embarrassed, and then commanded the old self-discipline robot at home to sweep the ground.
"Is Grandma home alone?" The girl's clear voice sounded, and she looked around with a little curiosity to see if anything had changed here after she hadn't been here for more than a year.
"He Cheng is at home, but he came back late last night, and he will still be sleeping, Lisa came last night, and then followed her parents home." Grandma He talked about her grandchildren, then sat Heshia down, and then served fresh fruit.
Putting down the original work, Grandma He sat diagonally across from Heshia and asked her about her recent situation.
"Is it hard in the school park?,I heard He Cheng tell them.,You won the championship in the winter festival.,It's such a rare competition.,It must have taken a lot of time to usually shoot.,Training is very hard.。 Grandma He used to be a teacher, and she also experienced that kind of pre-game special training, so she knew the fierceness of this kind of competition.
"It's a lot of time, but it's not very tiring." The girl shook her head, she had spent a lot of time learning all kinds of things, but it was quite smooth, and she didn't encounter too many bottlenecks and stuck.
"Sure enough, Hesia is that kind of smart child, hehehe." The old man laughed.
"I've taught a lot of such kids before, they're naturally smart and sensible, which makes people worry-free, but sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too sensible." She remembered something.
"Forget it, today is not the time to talk about this, Hesia, you sit down first, I will call He Cheng to talk to you, and then I will ask Lisa and their family to come over for dinner." After speaking, Grandma He stood up again.
A few minutes later, He Cheng, who had hurriedly washed up, came to the hall, and when he saw Hesia, he was surprised for a few seconds, and then sat down a little stiffly.
"Heshia is here today."
He asked in a slight voice, completely unable to see the outgoing and bold image he used to have, not that his personality had changed, but that he was far more aware of Hesia's status and situation than his grandmother.
Let's not mention that the transportation company he works for is a partnership between Heshea and Irene, and the name Heshia alone, casually hanging under a certain company, is an invisible huge wealth.
The rarity of the singer, the champion of the Winter Festival, which one is not a household name among the residents of the star field, the legend of this girl, no one in Arpeggio City knows about it now, and even after the Winter Festival, there are special people who come to this industrial city to travel, just to see where the dark singer grew up in the past.
"How is Uncle He Cheng doing, is the transportation work easy to do?" Because this semester has been busy with the affairs of the school park.,The girl rarely asks about the transportation company.,It's usually Irene who is responsible for handling it.,If there's an unexpected situation.,,I'll also let Miss Gray Crow 'Mammon' help deal with it.。
"It's very easy to do, in fact, there are still a lot of businesses that can be done, and now the company has expanded a lot, there are about more than 100 large transport vehicles, he compared." Now he is not only a driver, but also the captain of the transport team.
"In addition to transporting materials to the 'Asaryu' side, the business also transports some goods out of the local area, such as handicrafts, clothing, food, and so on."
Although the construction of Asa Ryu has not been completed at present, some workshops have been opened, and many crafts inherited in the city have been restored, and they are still liked by many people, such as oriental-style clothing, swords, carved jewelry, special food, etc., although this market is not very huge, but Asaru itself is not large, and the existence of these industries is enough to feed most people.
"It is mainly cultural products, and some are also luxury goods, such as some exquisite and high-end jewelry and clothing." He Cheng finally summed it up.
Although Heshia has not revealed her relationship with Qianliu, He Cheng has also slowly discovered some related points in the past 1-2 years, such as Hesia's appearance is very similar to Gu Yongrong, and his own transportation company can always receive preferential treatment from the official, and some things can be roughly guessed even if he doesn't know.
"It's good to open up the market." After listening to this, the girl's heart was a little settled.
Although she often corresponded with her uncle, the other party rarely told her about the current financial and development situation of Qianliu, probably because he didn't want her to worry or trouble.
"If you want to continue to grow and develop in the future, you will probably need to revitalize the original transcendent faction."
Just like the fame and transcendent factions such as the 'Golden Country' and the 'Cutting Twin Swords', if the cultivation system of this faction is perfect enough, it will continue to attract talents and resources from all over the world to merge and grow.
Speaking of which, she used the secret technique of Qingluan Yimai many times in the competition, and in a sense, she also did publicity.
However, the current Qianliu is not perfect, and it is not a good thing to be rashly famous, and many of these secret techniques do need to be modernized and improved to be more excellent, and suitable for most ordinary people.
When she is free next year, she will have to discuss this matter with her uncle.
After that, the two chatted about the situation in the northern districts, and then at noon, Lisha's family of three also came, and Grandma He's house suddenly became lively.
"Sister Heshia is so amazing~ I saw your live broadcast on the big competition, Sister Heshia looks so beautiful with a sword, I told my classmates that Sister Heshia taught me before, but they didn't believe it." As soon as Lisa entered, she rushed to Heshia and spoke out loud what she thought.
"Slow down, don't bump into Hesia." Her parents shouted helplessly behind her.
After that, Lisa pulled Heshia again.,Tell her about life in the school park.,And how Da Bizhong defeated his opponent.,From time to time, a high voice came out of her mouth.,It seems that this is the only way to show the excitement that can't be resisted in my heart.。
"I'm going to be as powerful as Sister Hesia~" Lisa happily announced, deciding to read ten more minutes of the book today to express her determination.
Happy New Year to everyone! ~~\0 0/~~
