Chapter 242: The Past
"Go, go, go! Go back to the house and rest, these dads clean up. "Father Zhou can't wait to catch up.
Zhou Tang glanced at Zhou's father meaningfully and emphasized, "... Dad, I hope to get the answers I want. ”
Father Zhou's hand cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but his head did not move, his eyes lowered and refused to make eye contact with Zhou Tang, "I know." I'll tell you everything about your mother. ”
"Dad, you can't hide it."
Father Zhou sped up the movement in his hand and responded with a "hmm".
He also urged in a low voice, "Go and rest!" ”
Zhou Tang glanced at Father Zhou fixedly, and said to himself, "I don't know the answer tonight, I must not be able to sleep..."
Father Zhou's eyebrows jumped up, this dead girl!
Zhou Tang turned around and went back to the room to continue to explore and study the news that Cheng Mu passed on to her.
Closing the door of the room and completely isolating the outside world, Zhou Tang also calmed down.
Open the notebook again, this strange animal is unheard of, is it mutated?
Combined with the information brought by Zhou's father, Cheng Mu must have been attacked by mutant creatures in the canopy passage, but fortunately, Cheng Mu's force value exploded and he was able to exit safely...
Zhou Tang closed the notebook again and opened three more books about the canopy.
The canopy, as the name suggests, is a curtain hanging in the sky, and the blue sky, white clouds, and bright sunlight that those of them who live in the underground space see when they look up are displayed through the canopy.
Zhou Tang entered divergent thinking, so in the two days of the weekend, the secrets she kept with her tablemates, those blackened curtains, were related to what Cheng Mu encountered in the Tianmu Passage?
Could it be that the mutated creatures have destroyed the structure of the canopy? Causes the curtain to turn black.
So where do the mutant creatures come from?
You know, they, the survivors, have been forced to retreat into the ground step by step.
…
The curtain in front of the window changes into a starry night sky, and if this is a real picture, it should be magnificent.
The time for reading went quickly, and by the time Zhou Tang raised his head from the book and looked at the alarm clock on the desk, it was already more than half past eleven in the evening.
Zhou Tang took a deep breath, stretched his body, and stood up to move his muscles and bones.
She doesn't plan to go to school early tomorrow morning.
Zhou Tang put on a coat and opened the door of the room, the living room was dark, only in the corner of the stove in the living room, there was a faint fire.
She turned and walked to Zhou's father's room and knocked on the door.
Through a door, I only heard Zhou's father say, "Tangtang, you wait!" The time has not yet come. ”
Zhou Tang responded loudly with a "good"!
Father Zhou in the room was sitting upright at his desk, and several diaries were spread out on the desk.
He stroked the diary and whispered, "A-Ying, our daughter has also grown up!" ”
"She is very beautiful and studies well, but she is a little stubborn. But she loves you as much as I do. She wants to know a little bit about you. Do you think I'm really going to tell her? ”
Seeing that time was pulling back minute by minute, Father Zhou dug out a small box from the deepest part of the desk drawer.
The box is small and delicate, with a thin layer of gray flannel lining inside and a strange rectangular item inside.
Father Zhou looked affectionately at the things that once belonged to Zhou's mother, which were about to be handed over to his daughter, and he didn't know if his daughter could fulfill her mother's last wish.
He took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the drawer, which was a gift he had prepared for his daughter.
Looking up at the time again, the sound of the chair "rattling" on the floor sounded, he held three diaries and two gift boxes, twisted the door lock, and knocked on Zhou Tang's room door with the light spilling from the room.
Zhou Tang jumped up from the soft bed all of a sudden, didn't even have time to put on his slippers, and immediately trotted open the door.
Father Zhou had a sad smile on his face, and the clock on his desk was also pointing to twelve o'clock at this moment.
"Tang Tang, in fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't want to tell you about your mother, her business... But the ambiguous, slanderous words of the people around you make you very interested in your mother's past. ”
"I've been thinking about it for a long time this time, you are her daughter, you should and need to know her dreams, her life's pursuit, as for whether you want to complete her dreams for her, it's all up to you! Daddy won't force you. ”
Zhou's father's words are somewhat general, and some are unclear.
He first handed Zhou Tang the diary and small box left by Zhou's mother, "This is the diary left by your mother, everything she wants to do, her mental journey... It's all on it, and now I'm giving it to you. After you read these, you will have a deeper understanding of your mother. ”
"As for this little box... This souvenir is handed over to you. ”
Then he handed the slightly larger gift box to Zhou Tang, "This is my birthday gift for you!" Tang Tang, you are your parents' favorite daughter, I hope you are safe and happy, and everything goes well. ”
Zhou's father rarely showed his emotions, and he hugged Zhou Tang very emotionally.
Then he regretted, "If we're still here... Mom and Dad will definitely prepare a big birthday cake for you to invite your friends and family to celebrate..."
"Don't see too late! I have a class today! After Father Zhou said these words, he turned around and left a little lonely.
Zhou Tang pursed his lips, "... Father! ”
Father Zhou's back was slightly hunched back and returned to his room, but he still waited carefully for Zhou Tang to close the door of the room, and then closed the door of his room.
Zhou Tang came to the desk with something in her hand, and under the illumination of the lamp, she slowly opened the diary.
Sunny December 28th?
…
Those of us who have been in the underground space for months have been in the underworld, and we don't know what the weather is really like outside.
However, according to the initial setting, the weather change of the canopy is synchronized with the outside weather.
Just how much is it like? What's the use?
We have long been abandoned by the ancient blue star, it is us, we are the executioners, this is retribution!
…

Another year passed.
I didn't expect us to really adapt to it, and there are many more people who think that life here is good, and that people who are able to enter the underground space are lucky not to be harmed by radiation all the time.
Scold!
I don't think so!
It's a shameful act of evasion!
Sooner or later, we will return to our homeland.
March 5, 2*** sunny
It's a sunny day again, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, but I can't feel the scorching feeling, what is this?
I asked the teacher for advice, but the teacher said that we were not running out of energy, and that the canopy had already simulated most of the sensory experience, and that there was no need to add these small things.
Listen up! What is this?
Energy? In those places, energy is just being wasted!
What are we here for?
August 20, 2*** sunny
It's been a whole year since we've been underground.
Over the course of a year, we've been refining the entire underground space to make it exactly the same as it was before.
But what is fake is always fake! It can't replace the real thing.
December 30, 2*** Sunny
I met a very interesting person today.
Doing interesting things with interesting people, but we stay in a place that is not interesting.
June 7, 2*** Sunny
I think it's time for me to get married.
It's still the interesting one.
It's just that I never forgot my dreams.
