Veteran

Compared with the semicircle of the AC26 star base, the shape of this base is very thoughtful. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a human head looking up at the sky.The bright sunlight shone on the straight bridge of the nose, which was plated with gold.

Cheng Xiu said: "I have traveled to so many places, and this is the only bird's-eye view I don't want to see."

Cao Yu looked at his face tenderly: "Well, that's enough for me."

Cheng Xiu quickened his pace and walked forward.

Cao Yu followed behind, watching his little figure jumping up and down on the uneven rocks, knowing that he would not fall, and following carefully like all worrying parents.

In front of the huge "human head", a stone step leads to the ear hole of the base.

The ear holes were wide open, revealing the dark inside.

Cheng Xiu said: "This design is really good."

There was a bad premonition in his heart, but Cao Yu still listened.

"We're like two walking earwax."

Cheng Xiu sighed and walked in.

Cao Yu: "..."

The passageway in the base is long and thin, going up and down, and there is an emergency door every ten meters. Once something happens, the base can be turned into a prison at any time.There are a lot of vents above the passage, which started working before they entered the door.

The corridor lights lit up along with their footsteps, and the light of the incandescent lamp fell on the silent passage, pale and cold.

After Cao Yu entered the door, he didn't say another word, and led the way silently.In front of a mechanical door, he stopped suddenly, slapped the door with his palm, his forehead rested on the back of his hand, his body bent slightly, and his back trembled in pain.

"what happened to you?"

Cao Yu said softly, "Coming here reminds me of the days when you were not around."

Cheng Xiu asked: "Oh, how cool is it?"

"...days feel like years."

"Every day is like New Year's Eve. It's really cool to eat and eat."

"...Life is better than death."

"That's not necessarily the case. To eat seafood, you still have to buy a living."

"...My heart is cut like a knife."

"That's right! Roasted chicken heart must be cut twice and add some cumin powder. This taste is really... tsk tsk!" Cheng Xiu raised his head after speaking, and saw Cao Yu looking at him quietly.

Cheng Xiu pursed her lips.

Cao Yu continued to look at him.

Cheng Xiu glanced left and right.

Cao Yu was still looking at him.

Cheng Xiu clutched her stomach: "I'm hungry."

Cao Yu: "..."

Behind the mechanical door is a luxurious treatment room.As long as the equipment you can imagine, you can see it here, and some unexpected equipment can also be seen here.

Cheng Xiu asked: "Is your body in the late stage so bad?"

Cao Huang said: "It's painful to lose what I love. If you say that what I love is a piece of pork chop, I will turn my face."

Cheng Xiu said: "...I want to turn my face right now."

Cao Yu smiled instead: "Do you know what I love?"

"Power, fame and fortune..."

Cao Yu didn't deny it, but added one more thing: "There are beauties."

Cheng Xiu rolled his eyes.

Cao Huang put it away when he saw it, turned on the power, and let him take off his clothes and enter the treatment cabin.

Cheng Xiu asked, "How much do you take off?"

"There are no outsiders."

"Well, there are no outsiders, but a nephew."

Cao Yu took advantage of him, and choked out a soft voice: "Uncle."

Cheng Xiu felt bored, so she took off her coat and lay down inside.

When he was in the treatment cabin, Cao Yu kept staring at the data that was continuously displayed on the screen without blinking, and he was relieved until it finally showed that he was healthy.

Cheng Xiu came out of the treatment cabin and asked casually, "How is it? Did you say how many children I can have in the future?"

Cao Yu replied: "You can have as many children as you want, and I will work hard."

Cheng Xiu: "..." These days, you have to beat someone up if you disagree.

Cao Huang spread out his hands for him to hit.

Cheng Xiu was tired, let go of his hands, and massaged his shoulders: "With such good medical equipment, giant pandas can give birth to more babies. How did you die?"

Cao Huang rubbed his stomach with his hands, dumbfounded: "I used to think that you would ask questions soon, and prepared a very comprehensive set of answers. Later, I thought you probably wouldn't care about it, and I had almost forgotten the set of standard answers. "

Cheng Xiu said: "Did your death be complicated? Drinking chronic poison and being stabbed by someone? Or was it strangled by one person and poured sulfuric acid by the other? Well, to be honest, I think it's best to freeze to death in an ice cellar."

Cao Yu: "..."

"If you're lucky, you can die in the ice. The body is beautiful."

Cao Yu: "..."

Cheng Xiu waved his hand in front of his staring gaze: "I can see that you have something very important to say to me."

Cao Huang took a deep breath and said to himself silently: He is still a child now, and even if he has any ideas, he cannot realize them.Besides, this is the person you have been looking forward to for half your life and waited for 100 years to get. No matter how angry you are, you can't break it.Otherwise, it will be a big loss!

He turned and walked out.

Cheng Xiu rubbed her nose, checking whether her joke had gone too far.

Cao Yu stopped in his tracks: "Not yet."

At other times, Cheng Xiu would have ridiculed him when he heard such a half-command tone, but now he just squeezed out a bit of guilt, and his tolerance for Cao Yu was greatly improved, and he followed him silently.

As soon as Cao Huang turned his head, he knew the reason for his behavior. A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared when Cheng Xiu looked over.

He took Cheng Xiu to a study not far away.It is said to be a study room, but in fact it has beds, kitchen utensils, toilets, etc. It is basically the configuration of a single apartment, but books account for too much, making other things very inconspicuous.

Cheng Xiu went to the kitchen area, rummaged through things, found nothing, then touched the bed, covered with dust, frowned a little dissatisfied: "The dust prevention work is not good." No dinner, and can't sleep, this is Be sober and hungry!

Cao Yu took out a notebook and handed it to him.

"What?" Cheng Xiu took it over, and turned to the first page. It was a line of poems written by dragons and phoenixes: "If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night."

His jaw almost dropped in horror.

"You wrote this?" The words are correct, but the content... what the hell? !

Cao Yu said: "You like the culture of ancient China. At that time, I thought, if I learn more, when I meet you again, I won't have nothing to say and laugh at my colleagues desperately."

Cheng Xiu said, "You laugh at your colleagues because you have nothing to say?"

"I thought you'd like it?"

"You said a lot of people I don't know at all."

"..." Well, in the previous life, I didn't achieve a positive result, so I can only blame myself for my lack of knowledge!Cao Yu died in peace.

Cheng Xiu turned to the second page.

Cao Yu went to the other side of the study, leaving the space for him to appreciate slowly.

Cheng Xiu didn't understand at first, but after seeing the content, he understood that this is Cao Yu's diary.

April 6

Once again I heard the assurance from Professor Zhang that Lin Ying's injection of life revival water was a successful version, and I made the final decision in my heart.

Maybe it's crazy, no matter from which point of view, such a crazy thing should not appear in the life of the Cao family.From my grandfather's generation, reason and elegance are like the imprints of cannonballs, even if you resist in every possible way, they are still there, like good and bad.

But I've done a lot of crazy things before, and this one wasn't far behind.

April 6

I haven't slept for two days, but I am in good spirits. I want to carry out the experiment as soon as possible, but Professor Zhang has to wait. He said that I am too excited and should be calmer.Was Lin Ying peaceful when he died?It should be.He has experienced so many trials of life and death, and he will not make a fuss over a bullet.

It seems that in order to go through the same thing as him, I should not only care about whether that bullet can create exactly the same wound as Lin Ying in my heart, but calm down.

Reading more books is a good suggestion.

I hope that when we meet again, I can follow his train of thought.He likes the culture of ancient China the most, maybe I should learn how to pair couplets?It would be a pleasant surprise if I could answer "the stars last night and the wind last night" when he said "the weather is nice today".

April 6

Almost a week passed, and Professor Zhang said that I was already in extreme excitement. I asked him if I could control it with drugs, but he refused.Well, maybe I should take more sleeping pills, get more sleep, and try not to dream about him.

But before taking sleeping pills, let me imagine what we can say and do if we meet again.

We can continue with that unfinished date.If I had known that the fat congressman would bring his mistress to eat there, I should have reserved the entire restaurant in advance, even if it was abrupt or conspicuous, at least I would have a good memory.

Also, I should formally apologize, I voted that no matter what the motivation was.

Lin Ying is right, liking and believing are two different things.

The former can make people in a state of mindless love, and the latter can make two people together.

Give me another chance, and I will definitely hand in a perfect answer—the confidence from a top student at Capital University.

Perhaps he held the notebook for too long, and he couldn't hold it, so he quickly closed the notebook and put it on the table.

Cao Yu came over and stopped a few steps away: "There is no food here, let's go out quickly."

Cheng Xiu put his hand on the desk for a while before he relieved his limb stiffness, turned around, pretended to be relaxed and said: "Zhang Xinke used an improved version of the potion for you, so you can overtake at your age ?”

Cao Yu said, "Actually, I used the same potion as you."

He didn't say anything, but Cheng Xiu imagined it.If the records in the diary are all true, then how could Cao Tong, who had to die in exactly the same way, make mistakes in the potion.

Cao Yu explained: "Isn't there a saying in ancient China that says, 'When the king gave birth, I was not born, but when I gave birth to the king, I am old'? What if the conditions are set differently and you miss it?"

Cheng Xiu wanted to speak, but found that her throat was very dry.

Cao Yu said again: "Don't worry, it's true that the life resurrection water was destroyed even the prescription and the potion, and I definitely didn't lie to you."

Cheng Xiu climbed onto the desk, her eyes were barely level with him: "Didn't you say you want to apologize?"

Cao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him in disbelief.

So many times, he wanted to apologize, but was rejected directly or indirectly by Lin Ying.If it's to blame, forget it.But Lin Ying's attitude is that you have done nothing wrong, we are not fellow travelers.

This is more painful than scolding.

Cao Huang took a breath, and said slowly: "At that time, I thought that my father and the others won the votes of the majority of the parliament, and you would definitely lose, so I wanted to obey my father so that I could have a certain right to speak when discussing your punishment. But I really didn't expect that the military department could buy so many votes to defect." This is rare in the entire history of Star Country.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I was relieved when the results came out, and I felt that I had done the right thing. I just need to fight for you. But when my father told me the difference in the number of votes with a relaxed attitude, I realized that I had done the right thing. What did you do wrong?"

"I'm sorry." He looked into Cheng Xiu's eyes, and said each word seriously:

"I should follow your advice."

"You are right. No matter what you do, you will not regret it if you go all out. You think you have left a way out, but in fact you are going to a dead end." Cao Tong said, "For many years after that, I regretted this vote. , and even resentment. What a coincidence, why was it short by one vote just now? Is this fate playing tricks on me? Later I figured it out, and this is probably a lesson for me.”

Cheng Xiu's face was displeased: "Why should I be blamed for teaching you a lesson?"

Cao Yu: "..."

Cheng Xiu said: "Actually, when I asked you to vote for me, I didn't have much confidence. Who knows why so many people defected!"

Cao Yu: "..."

Cheng Xiu said: "However, there is nothing wrong with it, because of this vote, I have gained freedom for at least ten years! Do you know how nagging you are these days?"

"..." Cao Yu finally couldn't help but said, "I don't know, tell me!"

"That's right, I'm hungry, can you bring in the food?"

Cao Yu said, "You want to live here?"

Cheng Xiu said: "Didn't you say that I like the culture of ancient China on Earth? You have collected so much, don't you want to show it to me?"

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Probably because your appearance looks..."

"Looks like you can't read, right?" Cheng Xiu said angrily.

Cao Yu hurriedly ran to fetch food.

Looking at his somewhat embarrassed back, Cheng Xiu couldn't help but smile, sat cross-legged on the table, picked up the notes and continued to read.

The dinner was boring, and Cheng Xiu's attention was completely attracted by the notes. Seeing that Cao Tong said he had hacked into the national archives and changed his and Lin Ying's DNA information, he suddenly asked: "Are you still going to leave the office?" Can it be hacked in?"

Cao Yu said, "Otherwise, how would Sang Le's information be revised?"

"Can you do a DNA test here?"

"You've seen therapists, everything."

Cheng Xiu fumbled in his salute for a long time, took out a small box, and handed it to him: "Check it out for me."

Cao Yu opened it and found a strand of hair: "Whose is it?"

"Song Yu."

Cao Huang raised his eyebrows: "You always keep his hair with you?"

Cheng Xiu said: "Otherwise? Press it under the insole and step on it every day?"

Cao Yu admired it.

Cheng Xiu: "..."

Cao Yu put Song Yu's hair into the instrument, and compared it with the data in the national archives: "Song Yu, Song Enping's illegitimate son."

Cheng Xiu said, "If you can change the information, he can too, right?"

Cao Yu nodded: "Indeed, but I changed the whole set, definitely a one-stop service."

Cheng Xiu said, "Check out his relationship with Song Enping again."

Cao Yu searched for a while, and replied: "Song Enping was a soldier until his death, and the files are still hung in the military headquarters, so they cannot be searched."

"Where's the mother?"

This time Cao Yu checked for a long time, and then said: "His mother is Yang Baixue?"

"Yes."

Cao Yu said, "There is no information about her."

Cheng Xiu's doubts intensified: "How can I obtain the information of the military department?"

Cao Yu, who has been in the government all his life: "..."

Cheng Xiu looked at him expectantly.

Cao Yu immediately said, "I'll think about it."

Cheng Xiu said, "Then let's leave tomorrow."

"Don't you want to stay a few days longer?"

"There is no scenery here."

"But there are a lot of books here."

"There are more in the Central Military Academy, I have seen them all."

Cao Yu: "..."

In any case, Cao Yu maintained his usual obedience to Cheng Xiuyan, took him around the various attractions in the Beauty Galaxy, and then returned to the Central Galaxy.

Cao Qizhi and Wang Zhen looked very happy to finally have them back in the capital, looking forward to the stars and the moon.

Cao Qizhi said: "The docking fee for the starship will soon be over."

Wang Zhen said: "You asked me to practice my skills, but Cao Qizhi deducted my raw material purchase fee."

Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu: "..."

Cao Qizhi said, "How much money do you have?"

Cao Yu: "..."

Cao Yu has never encountered such an embarrassing moment since he was a child.

A penny kills a man!

"We should find a way to get the ore stars back as soon as possible," he said.

Cao Qizhi said: "There is not enough money to hire people. There are not enough weapons. The starship was broken in several places during the battle on DH33 last time, and it has not been repaired until now."

Cao Yu helplessly looked at Cheng Xiu, who was laughing until his teeth turned white: "So funny?"

Cheng Xiu said with emotion: "Finally it's your turn to live a hard life."

Cao Yu said, "We are in the same boat."

"I want to take refuge with the Pang family. They seem to be the fate of the rich and powerful."

"...Okay then, return the diary to me."

"I didn't take it away."

"A liar cannot have afternoon tea tomorrow."

"..." Cheng Xiu coughed dryly, "Maybe I accidentally picked up the wrong one when I was wiping my nose." He glared at Cao Yu, "Say no more."

Cao Yu made a gesture of booing in a good mood.

Cheng Xiu looked at the bitter faces of Cao Qizhi and Wang Zhen, shook his head and said, "How difficult is it to make money?"

Cao Qizhi said: "I would rather let Wang Zhen sell himself than let you be a child laborer."

Wang Zhen said, "What kind of bloody choice is this!"

Cao Yu has full confidence in Cheng Xiu, ready to fight for him: "How do you plan to make money?"

Cheng Xiu said, "Buy a lottery ticket."

Cao Qizhi and Wang Zhen: "..." Thanks to their anticipation just now!

Because neither Cao Qizhi nor Wang Zhen believed that Cheng Xiu could buy lottery tickets to make money, so Cheng Xiu decided to take the two bumpkins out to see the world.Of course, Cao Yu supported it unconditionally, and a group of people came to Rongye Star, which is the closest to Capital Star.

Rongye Star is a satellite that orbits Capital Star.Many places where capital stars are not allowed to operate can be found here.

Cheng Xiu asked about the biggest arena and took them there in a mighty way.

Cao Qizhi came to a sudden: "You want to buy a lottery ticket for the game." They had seen Cheng Xiu's gaze in the Jiaolong Arena, not to mention judging the situation, it was easy to control the situation.

But he was used to being cautious, and couldn't help but said: "The formal arena is different from the informal one. Do you know the rules? We don't have much money left, just enough for the boat ticket to go back. If we lose... ..."

Cao Yu said, "Let your brother come and redeem him."

Cao Qizhi's entire face turned dark.

Walking to the door, they encountered another problem——

Cheng Xiu and Cao Tong are too young to enter the arena.

Cao Qizhi said: "I just said that there will always be accidents."

Cheng Xiu said: "You turn on the communicator and let me watch the live broadcast, and I will bet."

Cao Qizhi looked suspicious.

Cao Yu had already bought two admission tickets with money: "I don't have enough money to buy a boat ticket, and it's too late to regret it now."

Cao Qizhi: "..."

Wang Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled Cao Yu aside: "Your education method is not good, and you can't raise children like this."

"What about raising a wife?"

"Of course it's okay to raise a wife." Wife is just for pampering... He looked at Cao Yu with a strange and complicated look.

Cao Yu patted him on the shoulder.

When Wang Zhen was struggling, Cao Qizhi was done.From the moment he left the Cao family, rejected the Cao family, and agreed to set up his own family, he firmly tied himself to the boat of Cao Yu.Believe it or not.Otherwise, what I did before will become a joke.Fortunately, until now, Cao Yu has not made him a joke.

He and Wang Zhen went in, and Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu found a secluded tea room to sit down, drinking tea and chatting, while watching the live broadcast.

Cao Qizhi and Wang Zhen sat inside for a long time, and Cheng Xiu chose the last game before the arena closed.

Cao Qizhi was originally worried that he would not even get his admission ticket back, so he was a little dazed when he got the money.

Cheng Xiu and Cao Yu were waiting outside.

Cao Qizhi and Wang Zhen put away their surprise and became completely excited.

Cao Qizhi made a calculation: "We can sell the starship and mecha, and make a big deal!"

Cheng Xiu and Cao Yu: "..." Who will stop him.

That night, they ate well and slept soundly, but early in the morning Cao Qizhi urged Cheng Xiu to get up quickly and go out to buy lottery tickets.

Cheng Xiu rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said to Cao Yu, "I always thought you were greedy for money, but now I know that you were forced."

Cao Yu said: "Yes, I have to be lustful."

Cheng Xiu: "..."
