Chapter 128 Across the Stars
After waiting for about five breaths, Karelina finally heard Shu Yao say "Yes".
However, Shu Yao also added: "During this time, I was about to hand in a manuscript." He stopped, as if he was restraining something, "Sorry, I just want to be alone and calm down. Auntie, we can contact you later Is it? When I'm ready."
Karenina was heartbroken.Grief for the loss of his son and pity for Shu Yao are mixed together.She agreed to come down and said, "Okay. You must tell me when the time comes."
Shu Yao agreed, and the two sides chatted about the current situation again, and then ended the communication.
Karelina remained motionless, still lying in Lawyer Jiang's arms.
Until Lawyer Jiang thought she had fallen asleep, Karelina straightened up suddenly and said, "No——Jiang Cheng, go and buy a spaceship ticket for Tantao."
Lawyer Jiang was taken aback: "Didn't you agree just now?"
Karelina frowned: "Shu Yao is not this kind of child." She needs to confirm Shu Yao's status as soon as possible. Of course, Shu Yao is more concerned about her situation. How could he refuse to meet her and ask her and Jiang Cheng to wait until he " get ready"?
Reminiscent of her previous conversation with Shu Yao, she fell into great anxiety.
What does Shu Yao want to do?He is just an ordinary person, what can he do now?
"No, no." Karelina muttered to herself, "He can't go to the front either."
Alexey always wanted to surprise "Sangzi" and show it to Karelina when it could be produced generally.So after so many years, Karenina didn't know what her son and Shu Yao were busy with after work and study.
She had no choice but to pin her hopes on the fact that the review by the military department was strict enough so that Shu Yao would not be allowed to pretend to be someone else and get mixed up in it.
But Karelina never expected that at this moment, Shu Yao had already started to pack her luggage.
He had a clear idea: with the space button compensated by the Zhou family, material storage is not a problem.Bring three months... no, three years, or ten years of food reserves, enough wound medicine, mecha energy, and go to Alexei.
Of course, in order to prevent problems with space buttons, you can't put all your eggs in the same basket.
You can sell some of the mecha materials in your inventory, it doesn't matter whether it is discounted or not.With enough funds, you can buy a new space button and store the required materials separately.
Thinking of these, Shu Yao became more and more calm.
He also realized that his performance just now might have made Karelina aware of the abnormality.It was right to stay a little longer, Alexey was gone, and he couldn't worry his mother any more.
The young man took a deep breath and made a preliminary list of purchases.After that, in the darkness, I began to write the contents of the last two chapters of my manuscript.
……
……
Karelina used the fastest speed, but due to the distance between the two planets, it took her five days to reach Tantao.
When she knocked on the door, her whole heart was raised.
It was evening, other people's houses had already turned on the lights, but Shu Yao's window was completely dark.
Perhaps the most worrisome thing happened.But Karelina didn't want to accept the result so quickly, she knocked on the door again and called, "Shu Yao, are you home?"
She didn't expect that after these words, the door of the room opened.
Karenina froze.Lawyer Jiang, on the other hand, was quite calm. He glanced at the access control device and said, "It seems that they have also entered your voiceprint into the security system."
Karenina's heart skipped a beat.She couldn't say any more, so she just walked into the house directly.
As she moved, the lights came on little by little.
The living room was empty, and Karelina went all the way to the bedroom with concern.
She finally saw Shu Yao.The young man buried himself in Alexei's clothes, and now seemed to be asleep.
This was originally a habit of sentinels.After being bound to a guide, they will very much like to carry a partner's personal item on their body, which always has the breath of the partner guide element on it.
It was Alexei and Shu Yao's turn. When the sentinel made the same request, Shu Yao complained, "But I don't have a wizard."
"But I love you." Alexei hit a straight ball.
Shu Yao: "..." Couldn't hold back, and smiled, "I love you too. Is my name tag in the courtyard okay?"
Alexei was rather embarrassed.He knew that even after coming to Tantao, Shu Yao always carried that small name tag with him, and took it out to look at it from time to time to motivate himself.
He asked, "Is this okay?"
"It's nothing wrong." Shu Yao found out the name tag and handed it to Alexei.When Alexei was drafted into the army, he even sewed the name tag directly into the interlayer of the Sentinel uniform.
Even so, Shu Yao still felt that, as an ordinary person, it was difficult for him to really understand the special habits among sentries and guides.
But now, when he was packing his things, he saw Alexei's clothes in the closet, and suddenly wanted to try it out, to see if he could feel Alexei's breath from it.
This was the scene Karelina saw.
After confirming that Shu Yao was still in Tantao, she breathed a sigh of relief.Later, I began to regret my arbitrary behavior.
Karelina thought about whether she should exit, and deleted the visitor records on the security system by the way.But probably hearing her movement, Shu Yao has slowly raised his head.
The two looked at each other.With the tip of her tongue on her palate, Karelina made up her mind to move forward and sat on the edge of the bed.
Lawyer Jiang didn't come over.He left the bedroom and went to the kitchen, leaving room for the two who had also lost loved ones.
As for Shu Yao.His sadness is real, and the state he presented to Karelina is absolutely not fake—after three days and three nights without sleep, and without drinking the energy potion or the tea given by the boss of the mecha, he finished manuscript.The mind relaxed from the extremely tense state, and he fell asleep directly until now.
His mouth moved and he called, "Auntie?"
Karelina whispered: "Sorry, I don't trust you, so I still..."
Shu Yao didn't speak.He stepped forward and embraced Karelina.
Like hugging your own mother.He thought that he would no longer have tears, but at this moment, his eyes were still moist quickly.
"Alexey said," Shu Yao said, "he will come back safely."
Karelina's cheeks quivered, and she closed her eyes, tears also rolling down.
"He was a hero of the Union," she said. "He protected us and many more."
"I know," Shu Yao said, "but..."
He choked up.
"I still hope that he can live well."
It doesn't matter if you are not a hero, or just an ordinary person who doesn't need to be drafted into the army.
Shu Yao knew that his thoughts were too selfish.Even if it happens again, he will still support Alexei to enlist in the army, go to the front line, and defend his home and country.However, at this moment, he is suffering from the pain of loss, and he only wants to bring back those who have left.
Following his words, Karelina sighed softly and patted Shu Yao on the back.
It was also at this moment that Shu Yao suddenly remembered that in front of him was a mother who had the same pain as him, or even more pain.
How could he let her comfort him?
Shu Yao straightened up immediately, carefully watching Karelina's situation.This lady who has always been elegant and proud has a few strands of white hair on her temples.In just a few days, she seemed to have begun to age.
Shu Yao said: "Auntie—"
"You can call me 'Mom,'" Karelina said.
Shu Yao's pupils trembled, "Mom."
"Hey."
When Lawyer Jiang prepared the dishes and was just waiting to cook, he saw Shu Yao coming out of the bedroom.
The footsteps of the youth are slow and heavy.He said to lawyer Jiang: "Mom... Auntie is asleep. Sorry, you should have been worried about me before."
Under the bright light, lawyer Jiang studied Shu Yao's expression.
From Shu Yao's eyes, he saw clear sadness, worry about Karelina, and remorse for his past words and deeds.Other than that, there seems to be nothing else.
Lawyer Jiang was a little relieved.He said: "It's good that she can rest. In the past few days, every time I wake up, I see her sitting up and looking in the direction of the battlefield."
Shu Yao pursed his lips and said, "Gu Tengxing is far away from here."
"Yes." Attorney Jiang said, "It's already the front line of the war."
Shu Yao stopped talking.He was clearly still standing in front of Lawyer Jiang, but his thoughts seemed to have gone elsewhere.
Lawyer Jiang sighed, poured him a glass of water, and asked him to sit down at the table.He went to the kitchen to operate the automatic cooking machine, and after a while, the food was placed in front of Shu Yao.
"I saw that almost all the dishes before were broken." He said, "Have you not eaten recently?"
"Yeah." Shu Yao remembered something, opened his own terminal, and saw many replies from editors.
He ate with big mouthfuls over and over again.
Lawyer Jiang saw it, sighed again, and turned to look at Karelina in the bedroom.
They stayed on Tantao for two months.For two months, the three held Alexei's funeral together.
During the period, lawyer Jiang and Karelina also noticed that Shu Yao often went out.They were worried, but when they asked about Shu Yao's situation, Shu Yao only said that he was going to a place where he and Alexei often went.
This is not wrong.One of his most frequent destinations is the mech shop on Novalis.After entrusting the boss there to sell a large amount of mecha materials at a price lower than the market, he gained confidence and began to buy food and wound medicine according to the plan.
By this time, the news of Alexei's death had already been made public.Therefore, Shu Yao was not surprised when he heard "sorry" from the owner of the mecha shop.
However, after these two words, the other party seemed to look at him for a moment, and then mentioned: "Do you have any left of the tea leaves I gave you?"
Shu Yao was taken aback, and replied: "No."
"Wuyu." Guanlan ordered, "Go and get some more. There are also spirit wine, concealment talisman..."
He said a lot of things that sound weird to other orcs and humans, but to Shu Yao's ears, he couldn't believe it.Then, he stuffed a ring-shaped object into Shu Yao's hand.
"Go find him." Guanlan said, "You can find him."
Shu Yao was almost burned, looked at Guanlan in disbelief, and blurted out: "Why did you—"
Guanlan: "Huh? Don't forget to recognize the master by dripping blood. The space button may be lost, but the magic weapon for recognizing the master by dripping blood cannot be lost."
Shu Yao was out of breath again.After nearly a hundred days, he once again had the feeling of "am I dreaming?"It wasn't until he returned to Tantao, when he had a thought, that the ring stuffed by the owner of the mecha shop appeared in his palm, that Shu Yao realized that maybe he wasn't crazy, but he had really encountered a miracle.
That's right, he, a person on Earth, can directly come to the interstellar society thousands or tens of thousands of years later.That cultivator also appeared in this era, and opened a mecha shop here, so what's so strange?
