escape the moon

It's not that Shen Yizhen doesn't understand this truth, but it's still unknown what will happen to the little girl when she grows up.

The two sat opposite each other, waiting for the cigarette in Xiaoshan's hand to burn out.

Shen Yizhen asked cryptically: "Is there any clue about her eye problem?"

Xiaoshan cast a playful look at him: "Want to hear it?"

What's the point of selling at this time?If you don't want to say it, don't say it.Shen Yizhen snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"You can't do it just for a while." Xiaoshan smiled: "It's better for you to know less about these things. If something goes wrong in the future, you can pick yourself out. Look at who took the initiative to ask? You are stupid .”

Shen Yizhen said: "If you don't know, it doesn't mean it didn't happen, why bother to deceive yourself and others."

"But I didn't know you'd be much happier."

"You are not me, how do you know I will be happy?"

Xiaoshan didn't bother to argue with him: "The consultation department is not going very smoothly. I haven't found any adoption procedures from her adoptive parents from the civil affairs system, which proves that the child was not adopted through formal channels. It is definitely not her own. It is generally handled as a child. After the mother gave birth in the hospital, the hospital issued a birth certificate and submitted it to the civil affairs system to register her identity. That is to say, as long as the child was born on the moon normally, the hospital must have a backup record. Alice’s identity record says that she was born on the moon. She was born in District 618 District Hospital in [-], but after checking the medical records of her adoptive mother, it was found that she had never had a pregnancy history, and she had never even been to an obstetrics department.”

It was neither adopted through official channels, nor was she born by herself, so how did Alice get her identity?Shen Yizhen said: "The girl had already gone to school before the explosion. Kindergartens and elementary schools have to check her identity. This is impossible."

"On the black market, you can buy fake identities. In a large number of remote areas, there will be many babies who are born but have difficulty growing up. They die at will. They die of starvation, disease or accidental death in war. Their parents did not report to the civil affairs system. , and the identity will not be cancelled. These blank identities are sold at high prices on the black market, and one can be sold for 10,000+ to hundreds of thousands, and no one will know if the identity is changed to a name."

This is one of the reasons why the consulting department is not going well.To know the truth of Alice's identity, it is inevitable to take a trip to the black market.But it's not easy to reach out to the black market, not to mention that there are rules in the sky and rules in the underground. If the news gets leaked, the consequences cannot be afforded by the Consulting Department alone.

"I asked someone to use some personal contacts to search, and only found this." Xiaoshan took out a small leather envelope.

Shen Yizhen opened it to look, and there was a photo from the camera inside, which was very blurry and the angle was tricky. You could basically see a couple walking in the center of the picture, and the woman was holding a tightly covered swaddle.

"This is the picture captured by the camera of a grocery store in Crock Street, District 619. The time is the winter of [-]. The couple found the black doctor here with their child in their arms. The child had a high fever, shortness of breath, and was unable to eat. The black doctor After saving the child, the couple asked him to provide pupil lenses for the child, he felt very strange that no one would provide pupil lenses for such a small child."

"She was almost one year old. She was born on the earth and was taken to the moon suddenly. Her body could not adapt to the environmental changes and she became critically ill. In order not to be noticed, the parents may have used inappropriate pupils for the child first, and finally had to go to the black doctor to re-apply. configure."

"The person who sold her the false identity is now nowhere to be found."

Shen Yizhen was more and more confused.Calculated in this way, Alice was probably given to her current adoptive parents between one and two years old, at least not more than four years old, and four-year-old children will start to have sporadic memories.Her biological parents love and respect this child, otherwise they would not take the risk of going to a black doctor to save the child.Then why send her away?Is there any reason not to say?

The little girl lay on his lap and slept soundly. Shen Yizhen took off the ornaments from her hair so as not to disturb her head.

"If it was me, how could I be willing to send such a small child away." He lowered his head and only combed the child's hair.

He didn't see the tenderness in Xiaoshan's eyes, he only heard the young general say: "It's a blessing for her to have you now."

Shen Yizhen smiled unconsciously: "How can I replace my biological parents?"

Xiaoshan crushed out the cigarette butts in his hand. After a while, he said: "Nine out of ten biological parents have been killed. The consultation department interviewed the workers of the waste recycling plant in the second district. One worker was not in the factory that day because of his shift. He used to be the apprentice of the adoptive father of the girl. He recalled that the master once told him that the child's parents died in the war, so they adopted the girl. Master and mother have not had children for many years, which is considered to have fulfilled their long-cherished wish."

Whether they died in the war is not certain, but the possibility of the couple surviving is probably very small.

Shen Yizhen showed a regretful expression: "Then it will be difficult to find out how they returned to Earth."

"Why did you run away, and why did you come back after you escaped? These are all questions." Xiaoshan said: "If it were me, I would have already risked everything and escaped from this planet. Wouldn't it be better to just live on Earth? Wouldn't it be courting death to come back? ?”

Shen Yizhen pondered: "Maybe it's because the earth's environment is really so harsh that it's impossible to survive?"

"They went back, and then gave birth to the child. They didn't come back until the child was almost one year old. They lived on the earth during this time. If they really couldn't survive at all, how did they live during that time? They would die when they came back. Why not take a risk in the Where is the earth hiding? The moon has not conducted long-term monitoring of the earth for the time being. Occasionally, it is a machine that sends the probe back. It takes people back only once in ten or even decades. This is simply the best advantage, isn’t it? But they only need to come back , will undoubtedly die."

"So you think they have a reason to come back. In other words, they were forced to come back."

"Is the earth's environment really bad? Think about who told you that the earth's environment is bad."

Shen Yizhen looked up at him: "Xiaoshan, are you questioning the authorities?"

General Xiao slapped Erlang's legs in a daze: "The existence of the girl is the best question to the official, and it's not my turn."

He was right, Shen Yizhen couldn't find any reason to refute.

"What about the spaceship? For something as big as the loss of a spaceship by the country, you can always find clues, right?" Shen Yizhen asked.

Xiaoshan didn't answer directly: "I'll tell you about this matter later, it's inconvenient now."

He said so openly, but Shen Yizhen felt that he was a bit inquisitive.

"It's okay, as I said, if it involves confidentiality clauses, I will definitely not ask more questions."

"Including the spaceship, don't say a word about everything we just said."

The nanny came to take the child to bed, Shen Yizhen watched the girl being carried away, and wanted to leave the room by the way, but Xiaoshan kept thinking and didn't intend to get up.He suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation, not knowing whether he should speak or not.

Xiaoshan was so focused on his thoughts that he didn't seem to notice him.Shen Yizhen said carefully: "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

Xiaoshan raised his chin casually: "You go first. I'll sit for a while."

Shen Yizhen had already walked to the door, and finally came back, poured out the cold tea in his cup, and replaced it with new hot water.Xiaoshan was a little surprised, when he took the teacup, the two's fingers briefly touched, and Shen Yizhen pulled it back without a trace.

Opposite the window is still a window, and the square wall is filled with these beautiful "patches". People in this window can only see the opposite side forever, and people in that window will always look at this side.Shen Yizhen shifted his eyes to Xiaoshan, and when he looked at Xiaoshan, he found that Xiaoshan was also looking at him.

Xiaoshan said: "Yizhen, you are a very good person, but this is also your fault. As long as you are close to you, you will unconsciously want to rely on you, and the burden on you will become heavier and heavier, and you will not be able to avoid it." , because that's what you are."

Shen Yizhen withdrew her gaze: "That's because you misunderstood me, I'm not such a person."

Xiao Shan didn't speak, Shen Yizhen knew he was lying, he didn't have to expose it.

The temperature of that cup of tea slowly faded from the palm of his hand, and Shen Yizhen's voice was a little dry: "You can't take advantage of a person just because he is good. This is wrong. I may be soft-hearted, but I can tell who is good Who is bad."

Xiao Shan shook his head: "Adults don't distinguish between good and bad."

Shen Yizhen frowned.

Xiaoshan continued to ask: "What about me? Do you think I am a good person or a bad person now?"

There is no answer to this question.Shen Yizhen said hesitantly: "You are...a very good boss."

Xiaoshan laughed, suddenly lost interest in talking, stood up and put down the teacup: "It seems that I have made progress, at least I am not a sinner now." Shen Yizhen's expression was very stiff.Xiaoshan walked up to Shen Yizhen and squatted down on one knee.There were only the two of them in the room, the light from the window on the opposite wall was reflected on Xiaoshan's face, it was very faint, almost invisible, but Shen Yizhen suddenly understood, whether he was looking at Xiaoshan or not, Xiaoshan had him in his eyes .

Xiaoshan said: "I like you, Yizhen. I like you very, very much, you have to remember this." He raised Shen Yizhen's hand to his chest: "Remember it's not to make you like me, then It's your business, I can't control it. But you will understand that if a person likes you, he will give you a deadly weapon."

He spoke very slowly, Shen Yizhen's fingers were almost trembling, and he was hot all over.

Xiaoshan kissed his fingertips: "I gave you the weapon that can hurt me, Yizhen. You put it away, you will use it one day."

Shen Yizhen almost instinctively withdrew her hand and slapped him on the face: "I don't need it!"

Why does it have to hurt people?Just because Xiaoshan hurt him, it doesn't mean he has to hurt Xiaoshan to solve the problem.Even on the moon, if using violence to control violence can solve the problem, why should human beings get to where they are today?

Xiaoshan didn't seem to hear: "If one day you want to exchange my life for yours, don't hesitate."

What does he mean?Why should his life be changed?

Shen Yizhen had a bad premonition that Xiaoshan was not very normal tonight.He always felt that it was a strange thing for Xiaoshan to be transferred to the consulting department. It was said that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to transfer a professional soldier who had no intelligence experience to the rear, but was there really no one around Feng Jiling?Alice's secret is huge and complicated, can Xiaoshan really get out of it?Did he already know something, and felt that the glimmer of the future was too slim, and that's why he behaved so abnormally?

It's one thing that he doesn't like Xiaoshan, but it doesn't mean he wants Xiaoshan's life to be in danger.No matter how bad Xiaoshan is, it is an indisputable fact that he has won so many battles and saved many people.Because of Xiaoshan, Alice has a relatively relaxed and beautiful growth environment today. If something happened to him, how would Shen Yizhen explain to the little girl where Uncle Xiao went?

Xiaoshan didn't know that the cranky Secretary Shen worried all night for his safety and life. He felt that he performed well last night, affectionate, not too nasty, just right.He was in a good mood, and Shen Yizhen's attitude towards him was obviously shaken. This was a good sign, and there was another piece of good news. Lieutenant General Jiang Pei went to the command post to report smoothly.

Jiang Pei is his own person, so he is more at ease: "After work at night, call all the brothers, I will treat you."

The large troops of the 78th Division will remain on the front line to garrison, but the elite members of the advance team were transferred back to the area and incorporated into the city defense force.Jiang Pei can probably see something from the transfer order above, but he regrets the brotherhood: "Feng Jiling still taboos on you, you have to be clear in your heart. The brothers have been together for so many years, and now they are separated again."

Xiaoshan can see it openly: "It's always going to be parted. There is no unchanging fate. It's good to come back, it's better than going to die."

"That is to say, this is the team you brought out with your own hands. It is too immoral to dismantle it as soon as you say it."

"Daoyi? You were there when the mass grave was opened. Was anyone punished later? No, more than 2000 brothers are still buried in that dilapidated pit. Does anyone care? Be moral, Lao Tzu It's already fucking incinerated!"

Jiang Pei was silent.If he had to choose the part of his military experience that he least wanted to recall, it would be the offensive and defensive battle of Leman Pit in 215.Its tragic degree can be ranked in the forefront in the history of lunar warfare. The 78th Division suffered heavy losses in this battle. More than 78 soldiers died, nearly half of them froze to death, and countless others were seriously injured or incapacitated.So that later, when the survivors of the [-]th Division mentioned this pit, they directly replaced it with "mass grave", which is no exaggeration.Xiaoshan and Jiang Pei were two of them who were lucky enough to climb out of the pit.

Lyman Crater was actually not well-known before this battle. It was just one of the many "ring craters" formed by geological movements on the moon.The diameter of the entire pit is 84 kilometers, the bottom is relatively flat, and there is a central peak in the center.It was June in 215. It was a bitterly cold winter in the southern hemisphere, with a latitude of 6 degrees south. When the sun went down, the outdoor temperature was as low as minus 64 degrees. This was when the temperature control system was already in effect.After being surrounded by the enemy, Xiaoshan and his regiment were ordered to retreat to the central peak at the bottom of the pit. They hid in that central peak like headless chickens for 18 days, but the reinforcements still did not arrive.

On the 19th day, Liang Kun, then the commander of the 78th Division, led his team to try to take a road from the east, but died at the foot of the mountain.The 5th Army led by Xiaoshan continued to stay in the mountains. By the 23rd day, even the enemy had run out of ammunition and food.They all knew that the reinforcements would not come, corpses lay everywhere under their feet, and some soldiers had already begun to cut and eat the flesh of their dead brothers.

On the 25th day, Xiaoshan was ready to die, and the moon quakes.No one thought that the earth-shattering earthquake frightened everyone.Because Xiaoshan's 5th Army was on high ground, most of them survived.The enemy army at the bottom of the pit was severely injured and had no choice but to retreat.On the 27th day, Xiaoshan dragged the disabled soldiers out of the pit.
