wandering planet

On the second day in the Black Sea, Jiang Che was woken up by the crowing of a cock.

He opened his eyes and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the grass-green thin curtains fluttered gently in the morning breeze.Surrounded by solid walls, his laser gun and Ovid's little fox hung by the window, and a chicken flew outside on a tree, stretched its neck, blushed, and screamed desperately.

Pushing away Ovid's hands and feet on him, Jiang Che sat up.

He didn't react for a while, and after sitting for a while, he realized that he was in the Black Sea.

I don't know what kind of tree is outside the window. It was too late yesterday, and they didn't look carefully at all.This tree grew taller than Building Zero, with hundreds of branches from top to bottom, all of which were covered with small milky white flowers.

Jiang Che went to the window and pushed the half-opened window open.

The design of Building Zero was very old. He put his hands on the window sill and found that the connection between the window and the wall had cracked several thin gaps.

Tang Mo woke up at some point.She occupied the room at the end of the corridor all by herself.

"Tang Mo." Jiang Che called her, "What are you doing?"

"Song Junxing said that the flowers are edible!" Tang Mo stood under the tree, waving the basket of flowers in his hand at him.The petals came out one after another, and Pierre walked under the tree with a bag, and looked at Tang Mo helplessly: "Don't shake it, it's spilled again."

Jiang Che didn't see Song Junxing, nor did he see Lin Ni.He turned his head to look at his own bed. Ovid seemed to feel cold, and covered his chin with a thin quilt, as if his whole body was buried under the quilt, only half of his face and a mess of blond hair were exposed.

"Jiang Che!" Tang Mo picked up the spilled flowers back into the basket, and shouted to Jiang Che on the second floor, "Can you make us pudding again? Song Junxing said that these flowers are sweet and very fragrant."

It was indeed very fragrant, Jiang Che could smell it.

He put on his coat, put his hands on the window sill, flipped out of the window without guardrails, and landed firmly on the ground.

Both Tang Mo and Pierre were taken aback by him: "So tall!"

"Not high." Jiang Che replied in a low voice.He clapped his hands, stood up, and strode towards Tang Mo.

After learning that Jiang Che's sister might be on the Feijing ship last night, neither Tang Mo nor Pierre could find a chance to talk to Jiang Che.The two of them watched Jiang Che approaching with a little uneasy expression on their faces.

Jiang Che stretched out his arms, and hugged the heads of the two into his arms at once.Tang Mo and Pierre were caught off guard and bumped into each other.

"The ingredients for the pudding are gone now, I'll make something else for you." He rubbed Tang Mo and Pierre's hair.Neither of them had long hair, Pierre's hair was curly than Ovid's, and Tang Mo's was short and neat black hair, which had grown below the ears because of travel.

Jiang Che knew what they were thinking.

For some reason, after seeing the Phoenix, his mood changed.

Last night before bed he asked Ovid to turn off the light, and Ovid turned it off.Looking at the starlight outside the window, Jiang Che found that his fear was not so strong anymore, as if there were more important and imminent things that distracted his attention, making it impossible for him to seriously experience the darkness.

Ovid was obviously sleepy, and he saw him yawning—but he refused to sleep, and kept huddling beside him and chatting.As he spoke, he sang songs with strange tones.

Jiang Che asked him what song it was.Ovid said that this is a nursery rhyme he often heard when he was living in the research center, and it would be played on the radio before going to bed at night.In the room where dozens of clones lived, the children whispered and then slowly fell asleep to the sound of singing.

"A child was taken away by the elves, and his mother searched for him in the mountains and forests. When it took ten years to find the place where the elves lived, the child had grown up and did not know his mother." Ovid Explain to him, "The elves drove the old mother out of the castle, and the old mother cried so long outside the castle that she cried out her eyes. The eyes were eaten by the magic land."

Jiang Che: "...Did you listen to this kind of song before going to bed when you were a child?"

Ovid: "It was very touching. The genie who ruled the earth was moved by the old mother, and she made the earth sing this story day and night. The child finally remembered his mother. He ran out to find her, but his mother was disappointed. left."

Jiang Che scratched Ovid's hair.He found himself increasingly dependent on the intimacy that Ovid, whether on purpose or not, wanted to be close to him.

"and then?"

"He returned to his hometown and found his old mother in a small broken house at the foot of the mountain. The earth elves returned the eyes to the old mother, and she saw her grown-up child." Ovid closed his eyes, He whispered, "This song is sung by the earth elves."

Jiang Che no longer felt that this was a terrible story.He imagined humans and elves running around in those thick green forests.Ovid said that his hometown is all mountains, has he ever traveled and searched in such places?This kind of imagination makes Jiang Che feel very interesting.

He knew that Ovid was trying to distract him from thinking about Jiang Mu and Fei Jingjian.

Amidst Ovid's vague singing, Jiang Che had a thought gradually becoming clear: he couldn't give up looking.Since the Flying Scene was the first batch of "fallen" ships, he must use the Phoenix to return to Earth and find the fallen Flying Scene.

There was a vague longing in his heart: he thought of the Copernicus.

What if the Feijing ship is also captured by some planet with a strong gravitational layer?What if it took its crew and passengers for a brief period of one day equal to 100 years?What if Jiang Mu just fell into panic for just five days, and then he and his companions appeared in front of her and found her back?

This possibility became the burning hope in Jiang Che's heart.

He lowered his head, kissed Tang Mo and Pierre hard on the heads before letting go: "I'm fine."

Tang Mo rubbed his head, blushing: "You can't just kiss ladies casually!"

Pierre also quickly spoke up: "You can't just... uh, you can't treat me like a child anymore."

It was the intimate kiss of the elders to the younger generation, and they could feel it.Jiang Che grinned.He has always thought that he is the elder of the two of them, after all, there is a 500-year difference in generation.

The three continued to collect fallen flowers under the tree.Although the flowers on this tree were small, they were numerous, and when the wind came, they would flutter down and cover them all in a short time.

"Jiang--!"

The three looked up and saw Ovid shouting from a second-floor window.

"Won't wake me up?"

His hair hadn't been combed yet, his collar was crooked, and he rubbed his eyes after shouting.The light of the star Anubis passed through the atmosphere and landed on the ground of the Black Sea, and also landed on the head protruding from Ovid.

Jiang Che crouched on the ground looking at him, smiling.

Some silly.Like a glowing hood on his head, he thought.

Keren is still handsome.Because he looks good, even if he is stupid, he is not annoying.

The killer, who was too stupid to be annoying, jumped over the window and jumped from the second floor just like him.His landing posture was much prettier than Jiang Che's, and Pierre and Tang Mo applauded applaudingly.

It's just that this action directly startled Song Junxing who was walking out from the exit on the first floor: "Damn it!"

Ovid jumped up and ran directly towards Jiang Che.Song Junxing was stunned for a while, and his face flushed with anger: "Why did you jump out of the window? Why?"

He looked down and saw the four deep footprints on the ground, and when he thought about who lived in the room above, he immediately understood.

"Isn't there a door? Why don't you go through the door?" Angrily, he grabbed a net bag and strode under the tree, glaring at Jiang Che and Ovid, "Can you obey the rules of my Black Sea?"

Ovid was extremely thick-skinned, and smiled at him with his white teeth showing, "Why is your face swollen, and who beat you?"

Jiang Che looked at the net bag in his hand.

"What are you going to catch?"

"Catch chickens." Song Junxing said, "It's these chickens."

He took these guests to the side of his farm where he raised chickens and ducks, and introduced his achievements to them with a little pride.

And resolutely refused to answer any questions about his facial injuries.

Jiang Che and the others stood by the fence and fell into an awkward silence.

After a while, Linney said, "Isn't this a quail?"

"Ma, sparrow?" Pierre said.

"You uneducated people..." Tang Mo pointed to a chicken and said, "Look, there are chicken combs."

This "farm" is small in size, about the length and width of Building No. [-]. There are dozens of chickens scattered in it, and the fence around it is made of solid wood.

These chickens were all caught by Song Junxing from Nini.

"Although it is small, and because it has not been artificially modified, the bones are too big and thick, and the meat is not tender enough, but it is very chewy and very fragrant."

Jiang Che explained to others: "It means that he is not very good at taking care of him, and he has retired."

Song Junxing: "Then do you want to eat?"

Everyone: "Eat, eat, eat!"

No matter what big things happen, you have to have a full meal first.

Song Junxing caught the chickens with a net bag, and only managed to catch two after sweating all over his body.Jiang Che had raised chickens and ducks at home before, knew some tricks, and was quick to grab the three chickens and step out of the fence.

Whether these five quail-sized chickens can be full, everyone has no idea.According to Jiang Che's suggestion, Song Junxing poured out some rice and started to cook it.These are the living materials provided by Marseille, and the quality is very good.

These two people were busy in the kitchen, and the rest of the people turned to the lifeboat to carry the supplies they collected from the Sirius planet belt along the way: Griya honey, small enoki mushrooms, pastry grass, shrimp, aquatic plants, two-ridged fish , blue-backed crabs, clams, snails and prawns, molluscs similar to squid, winged snake meat, edible fruits that I don’t know what they are called, wild vegetables that I can eat but I don’t know what they are called...

Song Junxing put the rice into the pot to cook, chewed on the potato chips Tang Mo gave him, and watched them move things in.

"What are you looking at, not going to help?" Lin Ni shook his fist at him.

In broad daylight, when he was ready again, Song Junxing was not afraid of him at all. He sneered, stared at his face, and licked the potato chip crumbs on the edge of his mouth with his tongue.

Linney thought he had been beaten a little bit last night.

There are too many things. In Building Zero, there was originally a refrigerator for cold storage of low-temperature weapons. Because the weapons were emptied, it has now become Song Junxing's personal food storage.All the supplies filled the warehouse to the point where it could barely fit, and Ovid ran out with a bunch of blue-backed crabs with teeth and claws: "Jiang, let's eat some crabs today."

Jiang Che's head was sweating as he killed chickens and plucked the feathers.Seeing Ovid coming over, he handed him a jug of hot water: "Put the crab down, take this to drink."

Ovid opened the lid of the pot and was taken aback for a moment.

He smelled a strong sweet fragrance, but it was not greasy at all, and there were some fresh flowers and herbs in this sweet fragrance.

After grabbing a bowl, he curiously poured out a bowl.

The transparent liquid fell into the bowl thickly and slipperily, and the sweet aroma of honey rushed to his nostrils. Ovid instantly had the illusion that he was completely enveloped by this sweet smell.

Hot water rushes into the honey, the bowl is hot, and the aroma is also hot, but it makes people reluctant to put it down.There were still fine petals floating on the surface of the honey water. After looking at it for a while, he recognized that they were the petals collected outside this morning.

"Song Junxing said that this is called Chongchonghua." Jiang Che said, "There are not many flowers blooming all year round, and they are all double petals. They look very thick and numerous. This pot is Chongchonghua nectar tea. It's just right to drink when it's hot. Don't you Have you ever had Griya honey?"

Ovid wondered: "But we just got our honey, where did you get it?"

"Song Junxing has it here." Jiang Che said, "He has eaten all these things."

The four people who finished carrying and Song Junxing who did nothing at all sat at the dining table, waiting for Jiang Che.

Tang Mo took two sips of tea, ate the compressed food from the lifeboat, sniffed his nose, and smelled the aroma of meat.

"Jiang Che, what are you cooking?"

A table of people looked at Jiang Che eagerly.

Jiang Che glanced back, frightened: they looked extremely hungry, as if they wanted to eat people.

Song Junxing looked at him in a daze: "It's so fragrant..."

"Scallion oil chicken." Jiang Che saw that the heat was almost ready, and lifted the lid of the pot.

The rich aroma of the meat is something tangible, bubbling from the hot pan.
