wandering planet

Jiang Che asked Ovid if he had dinner, but Ovid stared at him silently without making a sound.

Jiang Che thought for a while, and realized that this person had been hiding in Lin Ni's room, and it was impossible for him to come out for dinner.

"Do you really want to continue your mission?" Jiang Che remembered the bread he borrowed from the kitchen oven yesterday, and got up to look for it. "Although he didn't find you, he already noticed that there was something wrong in the room."

"It's a lot of money for this mission," Ovid said, "but I didn't expect Linney to be so troublesome."

"How?" Jiang Che finally found sliced ​​bread from the lunch box.

Ovid thought for a while, took a sip of lemon ice, and said in a mysterious tone: "He doesn't sleep at night, and he doesn't turn off the lights."

Jiang Che: "?"

After Ovid ran away from home, he cheated a few packs of soda crackers from the children on the ship, sneaked into his room without Linney noticing, and hid in the ventilation channel in the ceiling.

He took a sharpened iron piece, ate small biscuits, and planned to do it as soon as Linney fell asleep at night.

But he didn't expect that during the past few days of lurking, Lin Ni hadn't slept at all, and he didn't even turn off the lights.

Linney came back late every night, smelling of alcohol, with two or three bottles of craft beer in his hand.After taking a shower, he would sit by the window in a daze, staring outside for hours.

His room was expensive, with a big round porthole, and Linney would sit by the window, holding his beer and drinking it very slowly.

"Drink all night?" Jiang Che thought to himself, that can't last, right?

"He will continue to be in a daze after drinking, and he will not turn off the light." Ovid said gesturing, "If he does not turn off the light, I will be found if I jump off."

Jiang Che recalled the Lin Ni he saw today: "I saw him today, and he is in good spirits."

"His agent came to him last night, only to find that Linney was lying on the bed and couldn't get up." Ovid recalled what he saw, "After the agent gave him some medicine, Linney fell asleep I figured they might be sleeping pills. But I couldn't do anything about it because his agent was in the room and occasionally took Linney's heartbeat or pulse."

Jiang Che now felt that Lin Ni was also a mysterious person.

He decided to discuss a matter with Ovid.

"Don't touch Linney, okay?" Jiang Che handed him the sliced ​​bread in the box, "We don't know what will happen along the way, he has rich experience in navigating ships, if Linney is gone, In case of a critical situation, the people on Faust may not be able to handle it."

Ovid threw the stick of lemon ice, picked up a piece of bread, and the smile faded from his face: "Jiang, I thought you would tell me that my profession is immoral."

Jiang Che did think that Ovid's profession was very immoral, but he also believed that if he told Ovid directly, Ovid would not agree.

Ovid took a few bites of the bread and asked in surprise, "What kind of bread is this?"

"Touré natural yeast bread." Jiang Che said, "I made it, but the ingredients are all taken from the kitchen."

Ovid gulps down one, then picks up another.

"This one smells like apples." Ovid sniffed a few times, "The one just now smelled like grapes."

Jiang Che didn't expect that he could really eat it, and he was a little admirable in his heart.

Toure is a mountainous country on the planet Marseille, with a small area, the climate, soil and latitude are very suitable for growing apples and grapes.Touré's apples and grapes are very famous. In addition to being expensive, they also taste very good because of the small output.

The Toure apple is small in size, but very crispy. The ripe fruit has an orange-yellow skin, covered with orange-red vertical stripes.The most famous grapes in Toure are green grapes with beautiful color, which are crystal clear and full of water and sunlight. If the top of the fruit shows a slightly pink halo, it means that the ripening is just right.

When the fruit is ripe, the land of Touré is filled with fresh and sweet fragrance.The fruit farmers picked apples and grapes and packed them in baskets, and sold them directly on both sides of the road at the foot of the mountain.For the best tasting apples or grapes, head straight up the hill.Go through the dew and grass leaves, go deep into the fruit forest, wipe off the skin of the apples and eat them immediately. The sweetness and crispness are maintained in a wonderful balance, not too hard or too powdery, nor too light or too light snore.Thick branches and leaves are supported on the grape trellis, the sunlight falls from the leaf gaps, the grapes hang under the trellis, and the thin stems are stretched tough and straight by the weight of the fruit.There are many varieties of grapes, and the best-tasting green grapes always ripen later than other varieties, but they are sweet when unripe and honey-like when ripe.The thin skin is wrapped in tender grape flesh and a packet of sweet juice, and the core is so small that it is almost invisible.

In addition to selling grapes, you can also make wine and make a few raisins.Toure's natural yeast is generally made from Toure's raisins, and because apple yeast is difficult to make, apple yeast is more precious than grape yeast.

Ovid had heard about the fame of Touré’s yeast, but he didn’t expect to be able to eat it on Faust, and it was made by Jiang Che himself. He wolfed down two slices, picked up the box and counted, and found that there were four slices left. I'm not very willing.

"Two slices of apple flavor, four slices of grape flavor." Jiang Che said, "Don't keep them, eat them all."

Ovid picked up another slice and handed it to Jiang Che: "Have you eaten it?"

"I've eaten, more than you." Jiang Che signaled him not to worry about himself, and eat quickly.

Natural sourdough bread is unassuming and rarely fancy, and it's an honest goodness.

The brownish-yellow skin is baked crispy, with several cracks cracked like mountains.Because it contains more water than ordinary bread, the bread under the skin is soft and chewy, and the air holes of different sizes contain the aroma of yeast and flour. The grapes of Touré, the apples of Touré, these are the fruits that grow on the ground. The sweet fruit that came out turned into a longer taste and melted into the bread during baking.

Ovid felt that he was not full yet, and the sliced ​​bread was gone.

He also ate the bread crumbs at the bottom of the box, and looked up to see Jiang Che carefully checking the stock in the freezer to see if there was anything else he could steal—no, take it openly.

He already knew many things about Jiang Che, Jiang Che's fear, Jiang Che's wish, Jiang Che's dream of returning home that might be difficult to realize.

Ovid was reluctant to puncture Jiang Che's fantasy, but who knows what the earth has become now?After losing a third, it lost control of its own oceans and atmosphere.

He walked to Jiang Che's side and looked at the refrigerator with him.

The cold air came out, making Ovid's skin crawl.He subconsciously approached Jiang Che, and Jiang Che looked up at him inexplicably: "Finish?"

Jiang Che has a pair of dark eyes, which makes him appear silent or indifferent all the time.

"Jiang, my hometown is Misservia." Ovid said.

Jiang Che turned his head and continued to rummage through the contents of the freezer. He saw fish fillets of good quality: "I know."

"Ture is right next to Miservia. It's a long, long mountain range. We grow mushrooms on this side, and they grow grapes and apples on the other side." Ovid kept talking like a storyteller. Going down, "Miservia is rainy and rainy all year round, so the name Ovid is the most commonly used by Misserian boys. The sun is shining on Touré, we pass by at the foot of the mountain, and we can see the sun on the top when we look up. It shines It’s not coming, but it makes people happy to watch.”

Jiang Che stopped, staring at Ovid.He sensed that Ovid seemed to have something to say.

"The research center where I live is just under the mountains, and not far from the center is the best hospital in Misservia." Ovid poked the fish fillet that Jiang Che found, it was hard, "Behind the hospital There was a big pit with a lot of people in it."

Jiang Che: "... what?"

"I met myself there." Ovid picked up the fish fillet, frowned and sniffed it, "It's fishy..."

Jiang Che gave him a hand: "Finish the words."

Ovid threw the fish fillet into Jiang Che's bag.

"I am a clone. I was created and produced to provide patients with healthy organs." He was very calm. "Besides me, there are many me-I don't know if they are also called Ovid—was taken to the hospital. They would die after surgery, thrown into a pit, waiting for a car from a body removal company to take them away, burn them, and feed the land or the sea.”

Jiang Che was dumbfounded.

"What is the specific meaning of my existence?" Seeing his shocked expression, Ovid raised his hand to brush his hair, "Jiang, I feel that my life, my life, is on Misevieria. , in Marseilles, it is tantamount to non-existence. I was created for a definite purpose, and I was discarded because I could not achieve this purpose. Although someone needs me, what he needs is my heart, my organs, not Ovid the man."

He turned around and looked up at the radio equipment hanging overhead.

"So I took this mission and left Marseille. Is it the same on other planets? I don't know. But at least, if I can reach other places, maybe Ovid will become a little different." Ovid He said softly, "Actually, I don't really want to go to Earth, and I don't really want to kill Linney. He seems to have a lot of secrets, and he is more pitiful than me."

"It can't be compared like this." Jiang Che said.

"The place I want to go is the Black Sea." Ovid laughed. "It is our transfer station, the Black Sea. There are many wormholes near the Black Sea that can jump into subspace, and the Black Sea used to be a military base with ships there. I'm going to snatch a ship, and then set off on a new journey. Unfortunately, if I leave Faust, I won't be able to eat what you made."

He stared at Jiang Che very seriously: "Jiang, I'm not kidding, you can make so many delicious things, some of which I never thought about. You are really amazing."

Jiang Che thought to himself, you are amazing... At first he said he was a killer, then confessed his identity as a clone, and now he told Jiang Che the idea of ​​snatching the ship and leaving without permission.Ovid is so unpredictable, Jiang Che can't think of a reason to explain all this, and finally can only conclude that this is the direct gap between the civilization of the earth and the civilization of Marseilles.

Ovid, who revealed the huge secret in his heart, felt that he and Jiang Che would be close comrades-in-arms in the future. He watched Jiang Che continue to pick fish fillets, and was about to ask him what he was going to cook for himself, when the broadcast above his head The device clicked, and it was Bering who was broadcasting the ship-wide radio.

[…Faust will continue on the "Homecoming Journey" based on passenger votes.We have sent a communication to the Black Sea transfer station, and then we will replenish various materials in the Black Sea.The Black Sea is one of the most important transfer stations around Marseille, and it is also the first transfer station established by Marseille on the 18 route to the earth. We will adjust the voyage and speed according to the information returned from the Black Sea. Please rest assured... 】

Jiang Che and Ovid looked at each other.

"Too bad, I'm not ready to grab the ship yet." The killer with ulterior motives said hastily.
