The world enters the age of mythology.

"No family?"

"Ah..." She got another candy. After hearing this question, she originally wanted to laugh, but she almost cried again with a smile.

She wiped her eyes, wrinkled her face, and forced herself to smile again.

Such a small girl already knows that crying is useless.

Smiling is always better than crying.

Lu Yiming scratched his hair and realized that he had asked a stupid question, and couldn't help but secretly feel sorry.

The atmosphere was a little silent for a while.

"Let me give you another candy." Jin Lili gave her a candy.

"Everyone suffers..." Lu Yiming took off his helmet and said to Jin Lili, "Let me tell you a story."

"You say it."

Lu Yiming looked at the sunset in the distance and told the whole story.

"One summer vacation many years ago, I worked odd jobs in a small restaurant. I was still a student at that time, and my parents would urge me to work as soon as the summer vacation was over. They thought it was a crime for me to stay at home and play..."

"One day, two children in ragged clothes came in. Their childish faces were yellow and thin, and the little girl was still running. The little boy asked the store manager obediently: "Uncle, can you give us something to eat, my sister?" I haven't eaten all day."

"Huh? Is there such a person in modern society?" Jin Lili questioned.

"Of course there are... We are a small city in the north. How can the economy be as developed as the south? Of course there are children begging for food."

"and then?"

"Then, the store manager waved quickly, signaling them to go out quickly."

Lu Yiming fell into the memory: "I turned around and went to the kitchen, took out a disposable bowl and filled some meals, handed it to the two children, the two children said 'thank you' and left, but the store manager started scolding me : I want you to be nosy? These beggars have tasted the sweetness once, and they will come again and again. Look at their dirty bodies, what should I do if it affects my business?"

"I put a smile on my face: I won't give it next time."

"The store manager reprimanded me a few more times, and went to the back kitchen with lingering anger. At that time, I was in the same mood as now, a little confused."

Very simple story.

Jin Lili said: "You mean, people's moral level is directly proportional to their economic level?"

Lu Yiming smiled, "That's not true. It's not clear whether people are inherently good or evil at the beginning, and I don't know what the answer is. I just think that you gave her so much today. Skittles, she ate very happily. But from now on, you can't come every day, you can't take care of her often, she probably won't be able to eat it in the future, will you?"

"You have satisfied your moral sense now, what about the future?"

Jin Lili lowered her head, looked at the girl who was only one meter tall, and suddenly couldn't breathe.

Is it possible for her to come every day?

Naturally it cannot.

Jin Lili is very busy with work, and she only came here occasionally today.

The girl was very thin, and she was carefully eating Skittles, holding two of them tightly in her hand, wanting to eat slowly without being discovered by others.

Children are always very sensitive and can tell that the two standing next to her are good people.

Her eyes were timid, and she dared not say a word.

The two were silent for a long time, a little at a loss.

This feeling is very cramped, an unprecedented special experience.

"Why don't you adopt one? Aren't you studying relevant policies now? These children... It's better to take them back to the Sea of ​​Clouds to raise them." Jin Lili said suddenly, "Actually, it's okay...We don't have any children yet. , she has also passed the most troublesome age."

"Motherhood is rampant? It takes a lot of energy to adopt a child. Do you have so much time? I'm very busy with work, and I don't have so much time." Lu Yiming said, "Don't be a whim, raising a child is Don't make decisions based on emotion."

"And...at least discuss it with your parents."

Lu Yiming is a very rational person. He has no objection to adopting one, but how to raise it is the big problem.

If you don't have enough energy to raise them, isn't this a delay?

Both of them are busy people, they have to work overtime almost every day, where do they have so much time?

"I'm serious... My parents have been urging me to have a baby for a long time. You also have this pressure." Jin Lili said, "And at our age... it's time to think about this."

The two of them are not too young...

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven years, nearly eight years since I escaped from the earth.

The two of them have been married for many years, and they are already over [-] years old. It is strange not to be urged by the elders.

"It seems to be the same..." Lu Yiming wrinkled his nose.He is usually very busy with his work and doesn't have much time to meet his family.

Even if they saw him, his parents often asked him when he would have a baby.

People of the older generation always have more desire to carry on the family line.

Moreover, if a society wants to continue normally, it needs the next generation.

Jin Lili said again: "It doesn't take too much energy to adopt one and let the parents help to take care of it. You can have another one when you want to have one. Anyway, there is no family planning now, so it would be nice to have a sister first."

"She is already four or five years old, and the most difficult stage of nurturing has passed, and it doesn't take too much effort to raise one now, haha, it can be regarded as picking up a ready-made one."

"Let your parents help...you have a good idea."

However, it is also true.Even if one is born, it is more likely that parents will bring it.

Jin Lili smiled and said, "No matter how bad it is, it can be used for housework... This kind of little person who has suffered a lot is usually very well-behaved."

The dirty girl shuddered unconsciously.

Lu Yiming rolled his eyes unconsciously. In fact, Jin Lili was right. A child who is used to hard times is very sensible.

Moreover, at the age of four or five years old, the mind has not yet completely rigidified, and it can still be matured.

This little girl's eyes are really good, and she should be fine after washing.

After making up their minds in this way, the two soon returned to the Yunhai and discussed the matter with their parents.Lu Yiming's parents were a little hesitant, but Jin Lili's parents were quite supportive.

After formal discussions between the two families, it was finally decided to adopt the poor little girl.

From now on, she changed her name to "Lu Lingling", a simple but nice name.

This incident even has a certain degree of political meaning. After all, the Yunhai society is a society that pays attention to human rights, and many reporters have broadcast this incident one after another.

When the tragic experience of these refugees, especially the orphans, was reported, it immediately triggered an upsurge in the adoption of orphans!

Yunhai has a total population of 30, and there are many families, especially older intellectuals, who have the desire and ability to raise another child...

There is not much pressure to accommodate four or five hundred children.

Of course, in order to reduce subsequent troubles, the government also conducts a complete test on the qualifications of the adoptive family. At least the parents must be of good character, have no criminal record, and have good financial conditions.

There must be no problem with Lu Yiming and his wife, from financial ability to personal morality, there is no problem.

As one of the lucky ones, Lu Lingling received a full set of inspections and related procedures, and was the first batch to enter the Yunhai No. refuge.

The children are really white and tender after being washed.

It just so happened that Lu Yiming was resting these days and had enough time to accompany her, so he tried to teach her Chinese.

Children are a little timid at first, but after getting along for a long time, they especially like to laugh after getting acquainted with each other, and they can "giggle" for a long time with a little fun.

She soon started showing her childish nature.Running around the room, a rag doll can be happy for a long time.

Who wouldn't want to be naive when they have the backing to rely on?

"Papa... I will feed you."

The little girl who has experienced hardships can tell who treats her well and who treats her badly. She even took care of Lu Yiming who was paralyzed in a wheelchair two days later.

Lu Yiming's parents couldn't accept this little girl at first. After all, it wasn't their own, so it felt a little weird.

But it was only a few days before he accepted this fact and happily took Lu Lingling for a stroll on the street.

There is one more sensible little girl, and laughter is everywhere.

Cute, it really is the primary productivity.

"This is family happiness."

Lu Yiming couldn't help feeling in his heart that with the passage of time, everything would be different.

Originally, he thought that he was still young, and that he was still very far away from having a baby.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he was no longer young...

He's 34, almost 35.In a few years, it will be 40 years old.

The sage said: "Thirty to stand, forty not to be confused, fifty to know the destiny", people should determine their life goals and development direction at the age of 30; at the age of 40, there will be no room for choice and retreat; at the age of 50 I have to accept my fate, and I can no longer resist the fate of life, so I can only follow the established path and move forward.

It is difficult to understand the words of a sage when you are young, and you just swallow them whole.

But as time goes by, I will feel more and more why the words of the sage can be passed down for thousands of years, because he tells the true portrayal of life.

Perhaps in the future, she will really try to have a child by herself.

A new life means a new hope and a new path.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing: "The greatest happiness in the world is that the parents are alive, the lover is by the side, the children are growing up, the smoke is rising, the food is warm, there are old friends, and the things you love are happy. Do whatever you want..."

"Where's Lu Lingling?" Jin Lili's voice came from beside her ear.

"I was taken out to play by your father, and I probably won't come back until evening..."

"She is now naughty, and she is learning languages ​​very quickly, and she will not be sent to kindergarten in half a year."

"Your body should have recovered a bit. Come with me to the laboratory for a physical examination." Jin Lili pushed his wheelchair and headed for the supernatural laboratory.

She had a smile on her face, obviously feeling good about where she was.

"There are a lot of things to test this time. Because it involves the Z element..."

Lu Yiming, as the world's first human being transformed by the Z element, needs to conduct all-round tests!

There is no Z element reserve on the Yunhai, and Xiaolong has not yet grown up. People can only obtain some data by studying Lu Yiming...

In this way, seven days passed quickly...

The first seven in the traditional sense arrived, and the government of Yunhai held a memorial ceremony for the martyrs.

This time the war was too tragic. More than 1000 people died in battle, which was the biggest disaster after the refuge escaped from the earth.

For several other civilizations, memorial ceremonies are also held on this day.

The atmosphere inside the Sea of ​​Clouds became quite solemn.

Games are out of business, internet cafes are closed, and sports fields are deserted because of the large number of militiamen being drafted.Except for some news that still reported the tragedy of the outside world, there were almost no other entertainment programs.

A sign of a large number of militias, the battlefield is cleaned up quickly, valuable specimens are collected, and worthless ones will be transported to professional incinerators for cremation.Due to the wide distribution of the battlefields involved, the project volume is still quite large.

Everyone sighed, and weeping could be heard faintly.

In a certain area inside the refuge, a large space gap once appeared, and a large number of monsters invaded, resulting in the death of a wave of civilians.Up to now, the traces of the battle have not been completely removed.

People spontaneously laid flowers at the location of the disaster.

Disasters... Even if they happen many times, who can get used to them?

"Fire the gun!"

"salute!"

"Silence!"

The first seven is a funeral custom.People think that "the first seven days" refers to the seventh day after the death of a person, and the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seven days", and the family members should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the return of the soul.

This kind of custom is not only shared by the Sea of ​​Clouds, but also by the three ancient civilizations that were seriously damaged.

The locals wore white crowns and burned some paper money into ashes.There were cries of "woo woo" everywhere.

The venue is more formal, not only to pay homage to the dead, but also to comfort the living human beings.

The former founding father said: "In the future, no matter who dies in our team, whether it is a cook or a soldier, as long as he has done some useful work, we will have a funeral for him and hold a memorial service. This It must become a system. This method should also be introduced to the common people. When someone in the village dies, a memorial service will be held. Using this method, we will express our condolences and unite the entire people.”

As more than 1000 coffins were burned to ashes by raging flames, the crowd on the deck also cried into tears.

In the martyrs' mausoleum to the southwest of the refuge, a large number of death lists have been added.

"Libi!"

With the roar of the trumpeter, all the soldiers participating in the memorial ceremony put down their salutes with a "snap".

Many of them were injured, with bandages on their heads and arms, but when they looked at the brand new tombstones, everyone's eyes were so deep... Without these sacrificed soldiers, the society of the Sea of ​​Clouds not developed to the present.
