Phoenix Feather Dedicated to the Admiral

After a soft sound, the phoenix egg was silent again, but the brilliance was still there.

"elder brother?"

Hearing Lan Xiyu's cry, Qi Mo put the phoenix egg back into his arms and raised his head.

"Is it broken?" Lan Xiyu asked carefully, "You seem... very worried."

"No, it's okay. Thank you, thank you." Qi Mo's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"It should be me thanking brother." Lan Xiyu said.

Qi Mo held Lan Xiyu's little hand, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "Promise me one thing."

"Ok?"

"I have one very important thing in Hulan Station. It's a time machine. I want to fix it, but I don't have the conditions right now." Qi Mo stroked Lan Xiyu's hair, "This silver hoop is Fei Ye's The controller of the base, I will give it to you. In the future, whenever you go there, you can use it to directly enter the base."

Lan Xiyu had a surprised expression on his face. "this……"

Qi Mo stretched out his hand and showed his little finger: "Come on, make an agreement with my brother that no matter how difficult things you encounter in the future, you will get through it, and then remember to go to Fei Ye to finish it for your brother, okay?"

Lan Xiyu stared at his fingers without saying a word.

Qi Mo stretched forward again: "Okay?"

Lan Xiyu hooked his little finger and shook it, nodded and said: "Okay."

"So good." Qi Mo stroked Lan Xiyu's soft hair, and then led him forward.

An interstellar hour later, he stopped at the gate of an orphanage.According to previous investigations, Lan Xiyu's later adoptive father was a child adopted by this orphanage.For the rest of the way, Lan Xiyu had to go on her own.

……

Qi Mo was not in a hurry to go to Wuxing, he refunded the original direct ticket to Hela, and found a hotel near the orphanage to stay.

With the help of the dim satellite light, Qi Mo took out the phoenix egg and the bird's nest and put them on the table, watching it twinkle in the dim room.

As usual, the snow pompom jumped up and warmed it with its own warm body temperature. The light passed through the fluff of the snow pompom, making the whole color of the snow pompom warm.

Qi Mo looked at the pulsating brilliance of the phoenix egg, just like his own heartbeat.

"Thump", "thump".

How long is it?

He didn't know if this egg would bring Lan Xiyu back to him in the end.

But at this moment, it is Qi Mo's greatest wish to hope that the flying bird with fierce burning feathers will appear again.

"Beep-beep-"

His comm rang.

Qi Mo took out the bracelet and picked it up. Opposite him was one of his subordinates who stayed at the Hulan resident.Fei Ye is still in its infancy, and the tasks of each member are mainly to build bases and excavate ores.

"Boss, good news!" said the subordinate.

"What good news?" Qi Mo asked.

"We found a piece of black gold mine! It's a coincidence, it's not far from our Hulan residence, bordering Hela, but it's not under Hela's control."

Qi Mo raised his eyebrows: "It is indeed good news."

"Besides, the piece we chopped off with laser weapons can be used as the cornerstone of the base."

There was a dissenting voice on the other side of the communication: "No, no, how wasteful is it to bury such a large and good piece of wood in the ground?"

"Then what do you say?"

"Either sell it as a whole, or... We, Fei Ye, have just been established not long ago, so it would be so majestic to have a boundary marker or marker."

Hearing his subordinates discuss this point, Qi Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"Make a stone tablet and use it as our marker." He interjected.

The leader made a decision, and the people below naturally had no objection.

"Well, it's just polishing...it may take some work. You know, this is black gold." The subordinate said.

"It doesn't matter, let's start preparing now." Qi Mo spoke faster, "The rest of the mine is free for everyone to use, if you want to exchange weapons, make gold pieces, or trade, you can."

"Thank you boss! Then we will prepare!"

"Wait, I'll tell you my design idea, and you can go to the engineering team to polish it according to this idea." Qi Mo said while tapping on the bracelet screen and sketching on it.

That night, Qi Mo sat under the lamp and guarded the shining phoenix egg, sketching out the appearance of the black gold tablet according to the shape in his memory, and stayed up all night.

It has become a habit to incubate eggs with snow pompoms. Sometimes I am so sleepy that I can't open my two small eyes, and I will conscientiously lie on the top of the phoenix egg, collapsed into a soft ball like a cloud cake.

One time Qi Mo was woken up at night. When he woke up and turned on the lamp, he saw a snow ball lying on the table crying, crying wildly at the phoenix eggs in the bird's nest.At that time, Qi Mo was so scared that he thought the egg was broken, but he was relieved after seeing that it was intact.

The snow ball moved over guiltily and sadly, and rubbed its soft body against the eggshell.

Nothing else, except that it misses that person too.

Qi Mo stayed in this city for three months, until he saw with his own eyes that kind-hearted wealthy businessman took Lan Xiyu away from the orphanage and brought him home.

He left an electronic postcard, which recorded every detail of his stay in the city in the past three months, and finally put it into the memory card.

The phoenix egg is still in that state, quiet and quiet during the day, and lightly shining with a pale golden light at night.But after all, nothing hatched.

Qi Mo didn't want to wait any longer, he set his final stop on the frozen coast of Wuxing, and walked all the way to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Lan Xiyu once said that he is sometimes too conservative and follows the rules.Then he will try it, touch things that he has never touched before; do something that is not like "Qi Mo" would do at all.

He went to the most famous Broken Valley on the Edge Star of Area A, a pitch-black abyss with no end in sight, as if it could swallow everything.Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, he rode a flying disc to the center of the canyon alone, and was blown several times by the hurricane in the canyon.The people beside the canyon shouted for him to come back, but he laughed in the wind holding the flying disc.In the end, because of disobedience to the management regulations of the scenic spot, he was entered into the blacklist by the staff and was never allowed to come.

Later the place was destroyed by war and was never seen again.

He also went to Xinghai Lake, which is a clear and vast lake. During the day, the lake water is green and covered by hazy mist.At night, when the fog dissipates there, it will turn into a mirror-like smooth lake, reflecting the sea of ​​thousands of stars, which is too beautiful to behold.

The people sitting by the lake are couples. Just like the publicity that every scenic spot with a "story" will do, Xinghai Lake also has its own legend.The satellite of that planet is a double moon, so if you can make a wish with your lover in Xinghai Lake on the night when the double moon falls, the wish will come true and the two will be together forever.The legends and stories that have been used badly are entrusted with good wishes.

Some people hug and sit quietly by the beach, some are kissing, and some people make vows and propose marriage through the sea of ​​stars.

Qi Mo stood on the high bamboo house by the beach, looking at the sparkling Xinghai Lake, holding the phoenix egg in his palm.He took a deep breath, and then shouted towards the lake: "Lan-xi-yu!"

"If you don't come back, I'll run away with someone else!"

The shout echoed on the lake, causing everyone to look up in surprise.

After Qi Mo shouted, he became a "big" and lay down on the floor of the bamboo house.He put the phoenix egg on his chest, his face was steaming, and he smiled shyly like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, touched the soul deed on his wrist and engraved it: "It's disgusting, you, you left me thinking about it, and didn't tell me what to do. You're going to drive me crazy..."

The snowball rolled onto his cheeks, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the fluff.

In this way, it took Qi Mo three full years to reach Fog Star from Area A of the Interstellar Federation.He stepped on the mountains, seas and moonlight, walked through thousands of stars, and looked at the flowers all the way, leaving many good memories.

He stayed in this world like an "other" who didn't fit in.But even so, he didn't want to go back, he didn't want to see the world he should have lived in without Lan Xiyu.

……

Qi Mo was lucky, when he arrived at the frozen coast, it was the extreme daylight, and the ice there had melted.Waves of sea water slapped on the shore, and the salty smell spread through the air, soaking into the heart and lungs.

He set up a small tent on the cliff and lit a bonfire to grill fish.

To be honest, he used this primitive cooking method when he fled with Qi Yan when he was a child.

The snow ball lay on the nest and yawned, and squeezed out two tears.It rubbed it with fluff and wiped away the tears.

Qi Mo ate the grilled fish slowly, threw the fish bones into the sea, watched the unknown fish jump up and swallow the bones, and chuckled softly.

He hadn't heard from Fei Ye for a long time, and it seemed that he had a good foundation in the year he was there, and those people were able to run the organization independently.That's good, Qi Mo didn't think about making Fei Ye great at this time.For him, as long as "Fei Ye" exists, it will be widely known in the future, and that is what Lan Xiyu will do.

It's just that two days ago, his direct subordinates contacted him and happily told him that the Black Gold Monument had been completed and it was placed next to the base of the headquarters. It was extremely spectacular.

Qi Mo said, "Then you can carve a few more words for me."

"Engrave what?"

"Just engrave... today's date." Qi Mo said.

"Oh." The subordinate agreed.

The man also asked him, boss, when will you come back and have a look?

Qi Mo said, wait a minute, there is no rush.

He didn't think about going back at all.

Plus the time of preparation before, the time on the road, and the time of those bits and pieces.He stayed here for four or five years, and Phoenix Egg still looked like he was about to wake up.Qi Mo sometimes suspects that this is just an illusion that Lan Xiyu did to make him have the perseverance to survive.

Qi Mo decided that when the frozen coast changed from polar day to polar night, he would go into the sea.

It takes all night for the sea to freeze, and he just needs to go down before the ice is completely frozen.Probably, it won't be colder than the day Lan Xiyu disappeared.

In this way, another month passed.

The hot stars fell towards the place where the water and the sky meet, taking away the little remaining temperature of this coast.The sea surface gradually glowed with ice blue light, and the ice floes gradually rose.

Qi Mo stretched out his hand and touched the bottom of the snow pompom - the phoenix egg was still warm after being hatched by the snow pompom.

He lightly touched the smooth eggshell, then stood up, opened the flying disc, jumped off the cliff, and finally landed on the beach.

The sea water was bone-chillingly cold, so he simply took off his coat and shoes, shook off all his burdens, and walked towards the center of the sea step by step in the direction where the stars set.

The ice layer froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by the sound of "click" and "click".

The sea water had covered his chest, Qi Mo closed his eyes and took a breath, then turned and fell into the cold world.His muscles were instantly restrained by the surge of cold and unable to move. He exhaled gently, and the water bubbles rose up and were immediately sealed by the ice layer.

He let himself sink into the dark seabed.

The author has something to say:

It's early today, maybe there will be a second watch, if it's not there by six o'clock, don't wait.
