Nine Star Burden - Chapter 664
Chapter 664: Returning home on a snowy night
At the end of the semester, everyone went back to their respective homes and mothers.
Qin Wangchuan might feel guilty towards the team or he wanted to reward them. In short, he did not keep the three-man team in the wasteland reclaimers. Instead, he gave them a normal winter vacation and let them go home for the new year.
On the night of the award ceremony, the group of four, song chunxi, and senior he Xu, who was studying at the University, gathered at the hot pot restaurant to celebrate.
The three of them booked plane tickets for the next morning and stayed in the maple forest community for the night.
While he was still drunk, Jiang Xiao sat in front of the table and took out the wasteland reclamation-Starfire medal. He then took a photo and sent it to second last.
He added,’take a look at what this is. (Sinister smile emoji)”
However, when second last was on a mission, she had brought a satellite phone for the military and it was a different number from her personal phone. He didn’t know if she had brought her own mobile phone and if she could receive the call.
However, Jiang Xiao didn’t close the door and Han Jiangxue, who was passing by, saw everything. She strode in.
…..
Jiang Xiao turned around upon hearing her voice, not knowing what Han Jiangxue was going to do …
However, Han Jiangxue walked towards the table and suddenly stretched out her hand to point at the words written on it.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and began reading.”Comrade Jiang xiaopi, brave and tenacious in the battle, determined to carry out orders, exemplary obedience to battlefield discipline, outstanding achievements in completing combat missions, great contribution, will be recorded as a Starfire merit.”
Han Jiangxue’s slender finger then touched one of the sentences and moved left and right.
Jiang Xiao looked at the words she was pointing at and repeated,””Exemplary obedience of battlefield discipline …”
Han Jiangxue remained unmoved and tapped her finger on the certificate again before clicking on the text.
Jiang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly and thought, are you really going to take it to heart?
Under Han Jiangxue’s cold gaze, Jiang Xiao finally said,””Your hands are so beautiful.”
Han Jiangxue was speechless.
Jiang Xiao raised his head to look at Han Jiangxue and blinked.
Han Jiangxue held her breath and blushed slightly. She quickly retracted her hand, turned around, and left his small bedroom.
Jiang Xiao grinned and placed his feet on the table while mumbling,””You want to fight me? Tender!”
Who can be more shameless than me … Uh, no, who can react faster than me?
The next morning.
The sunlight shone through the window and onto Jiang Xiao’s face.
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao mumbled and slowly woke up. He rubbed his buzzing head, sat up, and gave himself a blessing to ease the discomfort of being drunk.
“Mm …” Jiang Xiao frowned and felt as if he had forgotten something important. He sat on the bed in a daze for a long time before suddenly having a look of shock on his face. He vaguely recalled that he had sent a WeChat message yesterday.
Jiang Xiao hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and frantically tried to delete the message. However, he couldn’t even delete the message that was sent two minutes ago, let alone the message that was sent overnight …
Fortunately, second last probably didn’t bring her personal phone number and didn’t reply to him.
Drinking is a bad thing, isn’t this a joke?
If she were to see this message, would Jiang Xiao have an easy winter vacation? He could still spend the new year at home? I have to fly to Central Asia …
“Dong Dong Dong!” There was a knock on the door, followed by Han Jiangxue’s voice.”If you’re awake, get up and have breakfast. We’ll be taking a flight in the morning. We’ll leave in a while.”
“Oh.” Filled with self-blame and uneasiness, Jiang Xiao put down his mobile phone, put on his clothes, opened the door, and ran to the bathroom.
Jiang Xiao had already thought of how he was going to spend the winter vacation. If Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan wanted to relax and have fun, Jiang Xiao would definitely not stop them.
However, if the two of them wanted to cultivate star power, Jiang Xiao planned to let them enter the ruins of calamity and shadow.
Regardless of their thoughts, Jiang Xiao had already made up his mind to improve himself during the two months of winter vacation. The star power there was extremely rich and suffocating. It was definitely a paradise for Star Warriors!
After breakfast, Jiang Xiao put on his cap and mask while Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan put on their cotton hats and scarves. The three of them then rushed to the Imperial International Airport and returned home.
During this short two-hour flight, something major happened.
Jiang Xiao, who had just taken the coffee from the handsome flight attendant and was sitting by the window, was petrified and remained motionless.
Han Jiangxue, who was sitting in the middle, and Xia Yan, who was sitting by the side of the aisle, both looked at Jiang Xiao curiously while posing to get some water and staring at the flight attendant in a daze.
Fortunately, she wasn’t a flight attendant. Otherwise, who knew what kind of ivory Xia Yan would spit out.
The flight attendant also knew that her chance had come. She asked Jiang Xiao about his well-being and said,””You changed your mind? What do you want to drink? Do you have time to give me an autograph?”
Xia Yan was speechless.
This is amazing, amazing. He hit the nail on the head with a few sentences.
“No, thank you.” Han Jiangxue said politely and reached out to hold Jiang Xiao’s Cup. She then placed it on the small table in front of her with his trembling hand.
Jiang Xiao also came back to his senses and stared at Han Jiangxue with his mouth slightly agape. Not only were his hands trembling, but his body was also trembling with excitement.”I, I … I’m looking for …”
Xia Yan was rather curious and had no idea what was going on with Jiang Xiao.
Han Jiangxue frowned slightly and placed the hot coffee cup on Xia Yan’s table. She then turned around and gently held Jiang Xiao’s hand.””What are you looking for?”
Han Jiangxue had forgotten an important thing after spending a long time fighting in gindalai and the intense revision week.
Jiang Xiao had been working hard and struggling, even if there was only a slim chance of success. Even if he was pursuing a seemingly fruitless result.
“Gulp.” Jiang Xiao’s Adam’s apple moved, and his eyes began to fog up.
Jiang Xiao wasn’t a particularly emotional person. He had experienced countless life-and-death battles and won countless honors. The last time he really burst into tears was on the podium of the World Cup champion.
This time, tears welled up in his eyes because he had found his way home in the upper dimension!
Home was not the channel connecting the lower dimensions or the holy ground.
Home was the residence of Hu Wei and Cang LAN. It was the burnt forest and the Beacon tower with thick black smoke …
From late September 2017 to January 20,2018.
For more than five months, the black crow flew alone in the wind and snow.
That lonely eye was forever looking in the direction of the setting sun, searching for the end of this world.
Five months, how many days and nights, No… There was no night, only the sun, and it was a sun that could not be seen, only the afterglow of the setting sun.
In that unchanging scenery, there was a snow forest, a snow field, a snow forest, a snow field …
No one could really feel Jiang Xiao’s loneliness and helplessness.
If you gave him a fixed path, Jiang Xiao could work hard, fight for it, and do anything. He knew that he would reach the end one day.
But no one gave him an answer.
The end of the sky was still the sky.
At the end of the snow, it was still snow.
Jiang Xiao covered his face with both hands and rested his elbows on the small table. He didn’t cry because of joy, at least not because he had tears in his eyes. However, his smile was the purest.
Therefore … The end of loneliness and helplessness was hope.
Han Jiangxue finally realized something and leaned forward to whisper into Jiang Xiao’s ear,””Did you find another person?”
As soon as she said that, Han Jiangxue had already denied it. She wouldn’t have been so excited to see Jiang Xiao finding someone.
Jiang Xiao kept nodding and buried his face in his hands, so that no one could see his expression. However, he said,””I found someone, an old friend.”
Han Jiangxue’s pupils constricted slightly. An old friend?
She knew that Jiang Xiao was exploring the end of that world and was always moving towards the direction of the setting sun. If he was an old friend, then he …
Old friends didn’t just represent one person. They represented a deeper meaning.
This represented the snowfield in the upper dimension, which might really be pieced together by identical scenes. Jiang Xiao had already discovered that there were overlapping terrains when he was drawing.
This also meant that the world wasn’t infinite. He could bait Jiang Xiao into the snowfield again and as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to find the people who were still alive in the snowfield.
Books, toys, daily necessities … All sorts of resources could be sent to those people.
Han Jiangxue gently rubbed Jiang Xiao’s back and quietly comforted him. Crying didn’t just mean that he was weak. Compared to his superficial appearance, she preferred the pure heart hidden in the depths of his heart.
In the upper dimension, Jiang Xiao flew past the Beacon tower that was emitting thick smoke and continued to move forward. He passed through a snow forest that was covered by snow and revealed burnt tree trunks before flying into the canyon.
Jiang Xiao had never thought that the short distance of five kilometers would be so long.
Jiang Xiao had long gotten used to the snowstorm.
However, Jiang Xiao was not used to the darkness.
In this snowy land that was always at dusk, he actually saw darkness?
Jiang Xiao realized that he might have entered into a STAR technique or a certain field.
At the bottom of the canyon, at the entrance of the cave, the ghostly-Helme-wearing Zhang songfu held the childish Roly Poly in his arms and said softly,””This is the night.”
Roly Poly blinked his big eyes and looked at heiye curiously. “It’s night time at home too. It’s so dark. ”
“No,” she said. Zhang songfu pointed at the sky.”The dark night is when the sky turns dark. There will be stars and a moon in the dark night.”
Through the layers of snow, Roly Poly raised his little face and looked at the darkness.””I can’t see it. Where are the stars and the moon?”
Zhang songfu opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only let the people here stay in the night to greatly weaken the enemy’s vision. He couldn’t create stars or moons.
“Liar, Liar, you liar …” Her round little face immediately collapsed, filled with curiosity and joy. After getting such a result, this young child expressed her emotions in the most straightforward way.
Plop plop plop …
In the night, a Black Crow with a strange red light in its eyes approached from afar.
He only heard the voice but didn’t see the person.
And that strange red eye slowly floated over in the dark night.
Zhang songfu’s body trembled slightly, and the lonely red eye disappeared. In the darkness, the crunching sound of his feet stepping on the snow could be heard.
“Liar, you liar. There’s no moon …” Yuan Yuan pouted, her eyes full of grievance. She heard Zhang songfu shout,”Hu …” Hu Wei! Canglan!”
His voice reverberated in the tunnel and traveled far away.
He was so shocked that he subconsciously called out to the couple, even forgetting to lift the curtain of night.
In the darkness, a figure entered Zhang songfu’s field of vision.
It was snowing and windy, and he was dressed in a pitch-black night Watch uniform. He even wore a unique round mask on his face.
“Waa! Uncle Quanquan!” Her round eyes were still red, but her little face that was red from the cold bloomed into a happy smile.
Yuan Yuan jumped out of Zhang songfu’s arms and ran to Jiang Xiao, hugging his calf.
Jiang Xiao squatted down and gently pressed his forehead against Roly Poly’s forehead. He said softly,””Don’t cry. One day, I will let you see the stars and the moon. ”
