Gray light beams were projected from the window, and the dust in the room slowly floated and rolled in the air.
Qingchen always sat cross-legged, with the thin little girl sleeping soundly on his lap.
The young man silently glanced at the little girl, and then at the gradually brightening sky outside.
The vast majority of human beings spend their entire lives looking for a sense of security, enough money, a stable relationship, and a safe haven. This is the source of security.
However, this is most useless to people like Qingchen and Jinguji Maki.
Qingchen sat there for six hours, then patted the little girl's head mercilessly: "Get up and get to work."
"It's not yet dawn..." Jinguji Maki stood up sleepily...
"Fold the tent," Qingchen said calmly.
"I haven't slept enough..." the little girl whispered.
Before she could react, Qingchen had already walked out of the tourist service center.
The little girl stood up aggrievedly and followed him. She wanted to run up and grab Qingchen's sleeve.
But Qingchen actually dodged ahead of time and didn't let her catch him.
Jinguji Maki stood there stunned for a moment.
Qingchen pushed open the door of the tourist service center and let the wind and snow pour in: "Fold the tent."
"I'll fold it! I'll fold it now!" Jinguji Maki said in a panic.
Qingchen stood in the snow and light at the door, turned around and asked the little girl calmly: "Why don't you cry? Aren't you feeling wronged?"
Jinguji Maki pursed her lips silently, and after a while she said: "I'm sorry..."
After saying that, she returned to the tourist service center, squatted down and began to dismantle the tent brackets, folded the two tents and put them back in place.
It was only then that Jinguji Maki spoke again and said cautiously: "I won't complain anymore."
This is indeed a sensible little girl.
Although she didn't know why Qingchen was so cold to her, she knew that the other party sat cross-legged all night last night in order not to wake her up.
She also knew that if Qingchen hadn't wanted to save her, there would be no need to hide in the mountains.
The little girl heard from the villagers in Shirakawa Township that the Mysterious Business Department is very powerful, but now this brother has provoked these people for himself.
Qingchen said: "You are a miserable person. The so-called miserable person means the consciousness of a miserable person. You have to live harder than others in order to find your own destiny."
"I know," the little girl cautiously came to Qingchen's side and reached out to grab the boy's sleeve again. This time Qingchen did not move away.
Only those who have suffered themselves can better understand the suffering of others.
So when the small, thin Jinguji Maki burned down the hot spring hotel.
Only Qingchen can understand how much desire for life is contained in the flame of despair.
He also let go of his past time and time again.
Time and time again in a long time, let yourself go, stop yourself from sinking into the darkness, get rid of the darkness and move towards the light.
So, when the little girl stood in the firelight, what Qingchen saw was her former self.
The glorious fire burns the past to ashes.
Yesterday's various things, such as yesterday's death.
Today's various things, such as today's birth.
But after Qingchen walked this road, he understood better that the hardships he had suffered should not be in vain.
What the little girl needs is not someone to protect her, but someone who can give her a way out.
But just as the two of them were walking out.
Outside the door, two elderly men were wearing thick work clothes, walking from the ski resort employee dormitory in the distance.
The island country is aging very seriously, so you can often see very old men and women in hot spring hotels or other service industries.
For example, in the taxi industry in island countries, most of the drivers are elderly people who have passed the retirement age.
Jinguji Maki nervously tugged on Qingchen's sleeve.
When the two old men saw Qingchen and the little girl in the distance, they were stunned for a moment, and then turned around and returned to the dormitory at the same time, as if they had not seen them.
At this time, the entire Shirakawa Township should know that the Mysterious Division is tracking down a boy and a little girl.
When the two old men did this, they were clearly trying to help cover it up.
Qingchen thought for a moment and whispered: "Let's go up the mountain."
Two people, one large and one small, were slowly climbing the mountain. There was another heavy snowfall last night, and the snow had already reached the little girl's waist.
She could only follow Qingchen and walk up the path Qingchen had taken.
In fact, compared with days like this, the hard work of taking care of a hot spring hotel is nothing.
She knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Qingchen would train again and again on that ridge today until he was exhausted.
But she didn't know why Qingchen did this.
"Onii-chan, did you come to Shirakawa-go alone?" Jinguji Maki asked curiously.
"Yeah," Qingchen nodded.
"Is there anyone in your hometown waiting for you to go back?" the little girl asked.
Qingchen stood in the wind and snow and thought for a while: "There should be."
…
…
In front of the villa during the day.
A Maybach S-Class drove slowly. After the vehicle stopped, little Li Tongyun opened the door and jumped out carrying a small schoolbag.
Now that the day is gradually approaching, Xiao Tongyun is escorted to and from school by Luo Wanya's security personnel attentively.
When I go to school every day, I look like a little princess, like a wealthy daughter.
Xiao Tongyun looked back at the car and said to the security personnel: "Wash the car. Don't let outsiders think that we are in a panic during the day. Everything here must be in order before brother Qingchen comes back."
The security personnel were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect this little girl to show such a calm aura, and they didn't react for a while.
Soon, someone responded in a low voice: "Okay, I'll wash the car later."
"Thank you," Xiao Tongyun quickly walked into the villa and saw Nan Gengchen and Liu Dezhu sitting on the sofa in frustration.
Xiao Tongyun calmly looked around the house: "Where is my mother?"
"I went out to buy groceries," Nan Gengchen said weakly.
"Then what are you doing?" Xiao Tongyun asked expressionlessly.
"We are thinking about how we can help Brother Chen," Nan Gengchen explained.
Li Tongyun sneered. When Jiang Xue was present and when she was not there, she looked completely different: "You have been acting like this since you returned this time. People who don't know who saw you thought it was you two who were kidnapped.
"
Liu Dezhu scratched his head: "Isn't it because I can't help? I know that Brother Chen is suffering, but in the end I can't help at all..."
Li Tongyun shook his head and said: "Then go practice, practice day and night. When you have time to practice, go and give initiations to those under Luo Wanya. What you have to do is spare no effort to improve yourself until one day you can help
I'm busy. If I didn't have to go to school, I would wish to practice every moment, so that I can help Brother Qingchen earlier. You have a lot of time, but you are wasting it."
Nan Gengchen and Liu Dezhu, two people who were about to become adults, were taught a lesson by a little girl.
But unfortunately, neither of them felt there was anything wrong with this.
The two looked at each other, and Nan Gengchen suddenly asked: "Xiao Tongyun, Brother Chen said that your cultivation qualifications are the best. What level are you at now?"
Li Tongyun glanced at him and said: "I'm already C-level. Don't waste time. Since you can't do anything now, just practice. Even if something happens to brother Qingchen, you must have the strength to avenge him by then. Okay. At this point, Hu Xiaoniu is better than you all. He temporarily left Bairi Villa because he knows what Bairi needs."
Nan Gengchen was stunned for a moment. Xiao Tongyun's cultivation progress had not fallen behind at all, and was even a step ahead of him.
When Qingchen said before that Li Tongyun had the highest cultivation qualifications, he didn't take it to heart yet.
You know, under Jiang Xue's supervision, Li Tongyun had to spend half of his time in school every day.
On weekdays, this little girl looks careless and doesn't care about anything during the day. She plays the role of "little rich woman" in the group chat with peace of mind.
Until Qingchen had an accident, she seemed to be a different person. She would hide in her room every day when she came home and would not come out.
Nan Gengchen thought that the other party was in a bad mood, so he locked himself in the room and felt sad.
Now it seems that this is not the case. The other party spent all available time on practice.
Liu Dezhu looked at the back of Xiao Tongyun going upstairs and muttered: "Why does it feel like the little girl has changed?"
Nan Gengchen sighed: "It hasn't changed, it's just that Brother Chen was here before, so she didn't need to show this side."
…
…
The ‘Azure’ parachute training base outside Haicheng.
This was originally a skydiving base open to the public, but was suddenly purchased by the Hu Group more than a month ago.
Then it closed.
This is an incredible thing. After all, a skydiving base is worth a lot of money, and just the four helicopters in it are worth a lot of money.
After the Hu Group bought it, it closed it down and stopped operating it, as if they deliberately took the money and wasted it.
Only a few people know that the 'Blue' parachute training base is not completely closed, but is only open to one person. All its equipment and coaches are only for one person.
An off-road vehicle drove quickly, and several young people were waiting at the door without knowing it.
The off-road vehicle stopped slowly and the windows were lowered.
Hu Xiaoniu in the car frowned and looked at the young people: "Chen Sui? I made it very clear on the phone that I will not join the matrix."
Zhang Tianzhen was sitting cross-legged in the passenger seat practicing meditation. After the car stopped, he didn't even raise his eyelids and had no intention of interrupting his practice.
At this time, Chen Sui said seriously: "Xiao Niu, Tianzhen, we have known each other for a long time. You are also a relatively successful time walker in Haicheng. Why do you want to join a time walker organization from other places?"
"No?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.
Chen Sui thought for a moment and said: "The purpose of the establishment of the Matrix is to protect the time walkers in Haicheng. You also know that the civil war in the Federation of the Inner World is about to begin again. With the special status of the two of you in City No. 18, if you join the Matrix, what will happen? It is of great help to the matrix, so I sincerely want to invite you two to join the matrix."
Hu Xiaoniu shook his head: "We prefer daytime."
Chen Sui said: "You are members of Bai Zhou, so you must know the news that Qing Chen was arrested by Shendai. Now that Bai Zhou is unwisely involved in the crisis, you can be wise to protect yourself by leaving. In this way, Shendai will liquidate the entire Bai Ri."
When the time comes, it will not affect you and your families."
Zhang Tianzhen suddenly opened his eyes: "This time something happened to Bai Zi, we both quit Bai Zi Mingzhe to protect ourselves. Next time something happens to the Matrix, we can both quit the Matrix. Do you want such a person?"
Chen Sui said: "I will not let the matrix fall into such a situation. At least I will not involve the entire organization in taking risks with me."
"This is an interesting statement," Zhang Tianzhen thought for a while and said, "Actually, you want to win us over to join the matrix because of our status in Hengshe and our relationship with the Li Group. You think we have become
You are the best time traveler, so you should not be affected by the day. But you are wrong on this point, and you are extremely wrong. Maverick, drive on."
After saying that, Hu Xiaoniu stepped on the accelerator and drove into the parachute base.
Only a few people from the matrix were left outside the door, looking at each other and not knowing where they went wrong.
The helicopters in the parachute base were ready and had obtained air traffic control permission, waiting for the arrival of Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.
On the ground, a staff member wearing a helmet and goggles waved the command light stick in his hand, indicating that it was ready to take off.
Hu Xiaoniu put on the flying squirrel suit. After the helicopter took off, Zhang Tianzhen checked Hu Xiaoniu over and over again to see if there was anything wrong with his outfit, and whether the main parachute and the secondary parachute had been tampered with. This was all due to him, the protector.
things to do.
The helicopter gradually rose into the sky, the door was open, and Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen were sitting on the edge of the cabin, letting the wind blow on them.
Zhang Tianzhen smiled and said: "When we provoked Chen's people in City No. 7, and then fled to Luo City in embarrassment, no one thought that one day we would become the most popular people."
Hu Xiaoniu looked at the blue sky and said: "Well, Chen Sui's biggest mistake is that he thinks that with our abilities and our status in the outside world, there is no need to take risks with Bai Bai. But the problem is that everything today is actually
They were all given during the day.”
I don’t know when they started, but they have become the envy of many time walkers.
But Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen still remember very clearly how they got to where they are today.
At this time, the helicopter was shaking, and Zhang Tianzhen asked: "Do you want to complete the life and death test today? In fact, you can wait a little longer, maybe you can encounter good weather."
Hu Xiaoniu said with a smile: "This is the best weather in half a month. I don't want to wait any longer. If we complete the eight life and death tests as soon as possible, we can return to the daytime earlier. Someone is waiting for us."
"Actually, I have never quite understood why you must challenge this life and death test," Zhang Tianzhen sighed: "What exactly is this life and death test for?"
Hu Xiaoniu thought for a moment and said: "Maybe he is on the edge of life and death, pursuing his own inner order. Naive, we can't delay it any longer, and we can't let Brother Chen bear all the pressure."
The pilot gave a thumbs up in the front row to indicate that the expected flight altitude had been reached.
Zhang Tianzhen suddenly said: "I won't advise you...after all, I also miss the days in the daytime villa."
Hu Xiaoniu felt the strong hunting wind outside the cabin, and he knew that he must grow faster.
He turned to Zhang Tianzhen and smiled: "See you at the end."
After saying that, Hu Xiaoniu took a deep breath and put on his goggles.
He glanced at the vast sky again, then opened his arms and jumped down.
