The whole empire is watching my live broadcast of Tomb Raiding [Interstellar]

During the days when Su Teng, Knight, and Snow were recovering from their injuries, Du Leding, a well-fed, healthy guy, was kicked out of the hospital. How could he occupy a single ward without any problems? !

He and Charlie lived in the hotel with Zhou Ruxu.Charlie reported to the audience in the live broadcast room every day the recovery of the wounds of the three people, and counted the rewards received in this episode by the way.

Because he felt sorry for the gods and goddesses, there were not so many condolence gifts. Although Charlie felt that he should not have done it, he still felt relieved.

Just one click—Charlie promised with a raised paw.

Du Leding asked for a silk bag from Zhou Ruxu, and took out a rectangular bronze box from it.

The box is very heavy, with a simple animal pattern decoration on the surface, and a crescent-shaped gap in the middle of the front opening and closing.

Du Leding tried many methods, but failed to open it.He sat cross-legged on the bed, put the bronze box in front of him, and stared at it silently.

When Zhou Ruxu came back from buying food, he saw Du Leding was in a daze like an old monk, so he picked up the bronze box and looked at it: "You were staring at it when I left, and you didn't move at all when I came back. What do you see?"

Du Leding scratched his face and said lazily, "That crescent-shaped gap should be a keyhole."

Zhou Ruxu nodded: "So we have to find a crescent-shaped key?"

Du Leding sighed: "That's what I'm worried about now."

This kind of mechanism lock is so special that he couldn't help thinking of the silver coffin in the ancient tomb of Wushan.Yang Han used the glazed lotus on the astrolabe to correspond to the keyhole on the silver coffin to open it. If the bronze box is the same, there is also an astrolabe, and the raised decoration on it is a crescent-shaped gem. Is there a third astrolabe in the world?

Why does his dream of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan seem to be getting further and further away...

Du Leding squinted his eyes and looked out the window, suspecting that he had thought wrong from the beginning, that astrolabe was not a token of kinship at all.Who designed these strange keys, who kept them in the first place, and have they changed hands for thousands of years?

If the owner of the third astrolabe is dead long ago and has no descendants, where can I find this key?Is it possible to take out the contents only by destroying the box?

Du Leding felt that it was a pity, since it was made of bronze after all.More importantly, since someone deliberately set up this peculiar way of unlocking, if it is violently destroyed, such as cutting or melting, it may be destroyed together with the contents inside.

"I heard from Charlie." Zhou Ruxu opened the lunch box, tasted the saltiness of the dishes, and smacked his lips, "Those mercenaries used a method similar to projection to take pictures of the monster's body. In the case of a box, you can see what’s inside.”

As soon as Du Leding heard it, he became fascinated: "How to do it, can I watch it now?"

"Hey, shall I bite you open with my teeth!" Zhou Ruxu cast the contempt of scientists, "The light beams they use must have stronger penetrating power than X-rays and gamma rays. We can find a faster way to detect the inside Objects can be analyzed and imaged on the computer. But there is no equipment now, so we can only talk about it when we go back.”

"I never thought that one day, I would say such a thing," Du Leding shook his head emotionally, "I love science, and science makes me happy!"

Su Teng's body was already stronger than that of ordinary people. After soaking in the medicinal liquid in the repair cabin for a few days, the wound had basically healed.Knight had been impatient for a long time, and immediately went through the discharge procedures. The group couldn't wait to leave Bifang Town and return to the capital.

After the plane landed, Du Bin sent a car to pick them up, first sent Snow and Zhou Ruxu back, and finally returned to the seaside villa.

The two hairy guys, Charlie and Doberman, hugged each other immediately, looking very intimate.Charlie impatiently talked about the experience of the Big Belly Mountain. Dubin was speechless, and he admired Charlie's ability to escape safely after being captured by mercenaries.

Charlie was "received" for praise, and immediately became alive.

Du Leding always felt as if he had forgotten something, until now he remembered the parting gift Dou Le gave him, and since he left Su Teng's ward that day, he never saw it again.

He casually asked, "Where are my two little wooden figures?"

Su Teng remained calm: "Maybe it was taken away by the nurse or the cleaning staff."

Du Leding said sadly from the bottom of his heart: "Even the mini version of me is being coveted by others. I must have hidden it secretly, waiting for my handsome face when no one is around. There are too many idiots in this world. !"

A certain idiot touched the small wooden carving in his pocket, changed the subject and said, "Let's go to the hospital to see the test results tomorrow morning."

Du Leding went straight up the stairs: "OK, what should come will always come, the sooner we face it, the better."

Su Teng stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched Duleding's back disappear around the corner.There was nothing wrong with Du Leding on the surface, but Su Teng could feel that his lightheartedness and happiness were all superficial, and the previous expression of true feelings turned back to smooth and pretentious overnight.

He managed to walk in front of Du Le Ding, and Du Le Ding seemed to have taken a step forward, why did he regret and back away in an instant, and opened the distance between the two of them again?

Du Bin walked behind Su Teng, raised his paw and lightly touched Su Teng's leg, waking him up from his meditation: "During your absence, Miss Secretary sent some documents for your signature."

Su Teng nodded: "I'll go and have a look."

He went to the study, and Du Leding returned to the bedroom. The two of them went upstairs and downstairs, and they were separated into two inaccessible worlds by the stairs that only took a few steps.

Du Leding rolled around on the bed and never left the bedroom except for eating.At night he fell asleep in a daze, dreaming of the distant past——

"Du Leding, Zhao Cheng is leaving today, why don't you go see him off and say goodbye to him?" The life teacher patted Du Leding on the shoulder and said.

She knew that the three brats Du Leding, Shen Yu, and Zhao Cheng grew up together, and no matter what mischief they did, they were all tied together like bundled rogue software.

Zhao Cheng's adoption procedures have been completed, and the adoptive family is going to pick him up today, but Du Leding sits alone in the room drawing stick figures, intending to let his best friend leave without paying attention.

Du Leding shook his head, and drew some round-headed, slender-legged people on the white paper, as if he had made up his mind not to say goodbye to Zhao Cheng.

The life teacher sighed, turned and left the room.

The moment the door was closed, Du Leding threw away the paintbrush in his hand, got up and ran to the window to look out. Shen Yu and Zhao Cheng were downstairs, not knowing what to say.

He planned to say goodbye to Zhao Cheng last night, but Zhao Cheng couldn't understand sign language, so he really didn't know how to communicate with Zhao Cheng.Shen Yu is like a bridge between the two of them. Without this bridge, the two of them cannot walk to each other.

The three of them didn't live in the same dormitory, and he couldn't find Shen Yu after searching around, so he had to draw a "masterpiece" of stick figures to give to Zhao Cheng.In the end, Zhao Cheng was not found either.

Du Le Ding was a little clever, and immediately thought of where these two people might have gone secretly. He searched for several possible places until he heard the sound of whispering conversations on the top floor.

Those two voices were all too familiar to him, as soon as he heard them, he knew they were Shen Yu and Zhao Cheng.

Shen Yu has always been used to worrying, and her mother-in-law told Zhao Cheng not to mess around like in the past in the new family.

It was rare for Zhao Cheng to listen to him quietly before speaking: "If you have another chance, don't pretend to be crazy and scare people away. Do you still want to stay here for ten years?"

Shen Yu smirked a few times: "I don't want to leave here as much as you do. I think even if the three of us leave here together when we grow up, and do something together, wouldn't it be great?"

Zhao Cheng's voice seemed dissatisfied: "Then I'm leaving now, if someone wants to adopt you soon, will you go?"

Shen Yu didn't say a word, and said after a while, "I'm not as lucky as you. At this age, I can still meet someone who is willing to adopt me."

"I know, you are afraid that I will leave, and you will leave too. It is very pitiful to be left alone." Zhao Cheng heard some words from the dean, and said half-bakedly, "The most important thing between people The basic way of communication is communication, you have to talk, he is dumb, who wants to adopt him and watch him gesture every day? How long do you plan to stay with him?"

Shen Yu was not so quick-spoken, and held back for a long time before saying: "Anyway, I have always regarded you two as my brothers and my relatives. As long as you are with your relatives, isn't it the same no matter where you go? Of course I don't." Who will accompany him for the rest of his life, after all, when he grows up, he will each form his own family..."

Du Leding leaned against the stairs on the next floor, not wanting to hear what they had to say, silently rolled up the painting he was holding in his hand, and went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Zhao Cheng left after that, and did not come back to see them often as he had sworn to promise.In fact, it was as if he had disappeared after he left and never came back.

Du Leding and Shen Yu continued to do what they were supposed to do, until one day a scandal broke out in this small and dilapidated orphanage. For a while, the police and reporters appeared frequently, and all the staff's faces were clouded...

Du Leding opened his eyes, feeling that although he fell asleep that night, his brain didn't rest, and he turned around all night without rest.

He sat up and stared down at his hands, which still felt like crumpled paper balls.Thinking of the young self in his dream, he couldn't help but smile, Wang Po praised himself like a melon - he was so deep like the sea since he was a child, he couldn't be more handsome.

However, there was a bit of bitterness deep in his heart.All sane children in the orphanage understand a truth from an early age, no one in this world tolerates them unconditionally.In particular, Du Leding was somewhat sensitive by nature, even though he was very young, he had never acted coquettishly or made trouble with anyone.

After all, no one in this world completely belongs to him.

Charlie ran out of the bathroom alive and kicking: "Morning Ding Ding!"

Du Leding put on a smiling face in an instant: "Morning. You are in good spirits. What are you going to do today?"

Charlie put on his little coat and said while trimming his beard, "I've asked Dubin to go shopping together, and I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."

Du Leding jumped off the bed, finished washing in the bathroom, changed his clothes and went out with Charlie. When the door opened, he bumped into Su Teng.

Du Leding was momentarily dumbfounded by this unstoppable "opening the door to kill", and his expression stuck on his face before he had time to prepare.Su Teng looked at him with a half-smile, didn't say anything, just reached out to help him straighten his turned-up collar.

Su Teng's fingertips brushed across his neck inadvertently, arousing a small electric current on his skin, jumping happily along the nerve veins, making him shudder with numbness.

"Morning." Du Leding recovered his sanity under the "electric shock", and scratched his neck with a smile.

"Morning." Su Teng said with a smile, "Let's go eat."

Charlie squatted on the floor, looked left and right, and always felt that the atmosphere between these two people was weird.

For breakfast, there are grilled fish, caviar, miso soup, fried eggs, etc. Dubin made each side dish very delicate and delicate, bringing out the style and flavor of their hometown.

Du Leding didn't drink the soup, but only picked up the clams in the miso soup. In fact, he was thinking about going to the hospital for a while, and spilled a lot of soup in his hand.

"Nate, do you want to go to the hospital with us today?" Du Leding wiped his hands with a wet towel, and issued an invitation as if nothing had happened.

Knight shook his head with a fork of fried eggs: "I just came out of the hospital, and I don't want to go to that kind of place again in a short time."

Du Leding gritted his teeth: "I don't know what Zhou Ruxu and Snow are doing."

Knight casually said: "Maybe busy with sex."

Du Leding: "..."

He threw away the wet towel, looked down, and found that the clam shells in the bowl in front of him had been picked out, and there were a lot more.Looking again, the bowl in front of Su Teng was full of shells.

For a moment, his heart was overflowing with juice like the soft meat in a clam shell, but in the next second he closed the hard shell, isolating all emotions outside, as if he would be invulnerable to all poisons.

He pushed the bowl aside calmly, and wiped his mouth as if he didn't see it: "Hey, Dubin's craftsmanship is so good, I'm so full." After speaking, he got up and left.

Su Teng also put down the tableware, as if he had lost his appetite.He stared at Du Leding's back, his eyes darkened.

After eating, he and Su Teng got on the suspension car and drove to the hospital. After saying a few meaningless nonsense at the beginning, the two fell into silence.The atmosphere was stagnant and heavy, making people panic.

Su Teng played a song with a relatively slow rhythm, and said while waiting for the red light: "Snow and Zhou Ruxu used to have a very good relationship."

Du Leding was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it good now?"

When Su Teng talked about others, his face was basically expressionless, and his tone was calm: "Snow once liked Zhou Ruxu."

Du Leding almost got angry, he couldn't imagine how those two people got together, he suppressed a smile and said: "So it was Snow's attempt to courtship, because love gave birth to hatred, and now the two of them are acting like elementary school students quarreling every day, it's okay Do you fight each other?"

Su Teng heard Duleding's smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "One time Snow asked Zhou Ruxu, if there were only the two of them left in this world, would Zhou Ruxu wish to be with him. "

Du Leding sarcastically said: "Even if he is willing, the precondition seems to be difficult to realize. Does Snow want to eliminate everyone for this?"

After the light was changed, Su Teng started the car and continued to drive forward: "But Zhou Ruxu was still unwilling, he said he would rather live with a fish."

Du Leding narrowed his eyes: "This bastard's mouth is really poisonous, and he doesn't even consider the fish's feelings."

After a pause, he added, "Snow is... bisexual?"

He vaguely remembered that Snow seemed to have a good impression of Yang Han.

"I don't know, maybe it's to compete with Zhou Ruxu." Su Teng said, "Snow was very unwilling, and asked Zhou Ruxu, if today is the end of the world, or tomorrow you will die, can you accept me?" .”

Du Leding was overjoyed: "It's all impossible assumptions."

Su Teng said: "Snow means that if Zhou Ruxu knows that he is going to die soon and can accept him, it means that he still has a chance. Unfortunately, Zhou Ruxu still says no."

Du Leding laughed and said, "I would rather die than surrender."

After laughing, he dropped the corners of his mouth again, and realized that he had been hooked by Su Teng for a long time again, unintentionally, and the aloof image he was trying to maintain was shattered.He scratched his legs irritably, feeling as if he had fallen into a tangle of hemp ropes, and the more he thumped, the more he couldn't get out.

He wanted to get angry completely, but he really didn't know how to get angry and where to start it.Ever since he learned from Knight that he had similarities with Su Teng's hallucinations, his chest was like a ball of cotton wool, and when he faced Su Teng again, he always had an indescribable feeling.

In Su Teng's eyes, is he really Du Leding?Or did he see someone else through him?

There is no free lunch in the world, let alone love for no reason.These questions made Du Leding restless, but he forgot to think about why he cared so much.He just habitually packed up his emotions and hid them in his heart, for fear that when he opened his mouth, he would lose his sense of proportion like those clams and reveal their fragile flesh.

When he arrived at the hospital, Su Teng parked the car, called Pepe and asked her to prepare the inspection report.

After the two went upstairs, Peipei's first words when she saw Du Leding were: "Fortunately, you came early."

This sentence is often the beginning of announcing a terminal illness, followed by various examinations and treatments. Du Leding was in a trance for a while, feeling that he would not be able to leave this hospital today.

He subconsciously looked at Su Teng, and suddenly remembered the question Snow asked Zhou Xu: If you were going to die soon, would you accept me?
