Spy Family

Jiazi people don't like excitement. Only the arrival of the first batch of alien guests caused a sensation. After that, it became a normal thing, and the peaceful life did not cause any more disturbances.

The eldest brother is an old man, very old. He looks to be over a hundred years old. Almost all the weight of the body is concentrated on the bones. There is not much flesh and blood left, but he is in good spirits. He is leaning on a long wooden cane and his posture is just He was just a little hunched over, and his beard hung down to his waist. I don't know if it was blown by the wind or because he was not standing firmly enough, but his beard was trembling slightly.

Two men who were not much younger than the eldest brother stood on the left and right, wearing the same robes, with slightly shorter beards and taller postures, with their hands crossed in front of them, like bodyguards and servants.

A smile appeared on the eldest brother's wrinkled face, like sunlight filtering through dusty glass, "Welcome to you, my brother, and welcome to you, my guest."

Mao Kongshan caught up with him in a few steps, "Nice to see you again, eldest brother."

The two hugged each other. Mao Kongshan was very careful and moved gently. His arms only touched the clothes, as if the other person was a precious ancient porcelain that would be broken if he applied any force.

The eldest brother looked at Lu Linbei and said, "Hello, guest."

Since the other party did not extend his arms, Lu Linbei felt that there was no need to take the initiative to hug him. He nodded and said, "Hello, old gentleman."

The eldest brother obviously did not understand the meaning of "old sir". Mao Kongshan immediately whispered in his ear to explain. The eldest brother smiled, "I am too old to be called a gentleman. Come in, brother. Come in, guest." "

Jiazixing people are very clear about titles.

Mao Kongshan hugged the other two people respectively, and hugged them tighter. He did not introduce the identities and titles of these two people to Lu Linbei, and they did not greet the guests.

Lu Linbei noticed two things: first, the eldest brother had a collar around his neck, which was obviously a translator developed by experts, but the other two did not; second, their robes all seemed to be made of synthetic materials, with the same texture but different colors. The style is also slightly different and should be cut by hand.

Like their houses, the raw materials of Jiazixing are all supplied by machines. Even the wood is harvested and processed by machines and sent to the settlements. However, when using the materials, they rely entirely on manual labor and refuse the help of machines.

Machines and humans coexist on the same planet, but there are clear boundaries between them. Lu Linbei is curious about this way of life, but he is not as excited as Mao Kongshan.

Although it is called "A City", there are no fences outside the city, and there are no tall buildings in the city, and there are not even slightly straight roads. Like the expert base, the roads are all hardened sand, and the houses are built quite casually. As long as they are in harmony with the surrounding Neighbors just need to keep a certain distance. The so-called road is the open space for walking between houses.

There are no robots or various machines that are common on other planets. Some people are working in their own yards. All they hold are simple tools such as picks and hoes. They have long wooden handles and heads that are not like steel, but more like tools. Modified power generation panel.

Jiazixing people seem to be very laid-back and take their time when working. After the delivery person knocks on the door of a house, he always chats happily for a while before putting his bag on his back and heading to the next house.

Only children run and stop when they see an adult.

"Who will raise the children?" Lu Linbei asked in a low voice.

Mao Kongshan replied: "The system assigns students to each family for one year, and then goes to the next family to cultivate a sense of community and brotherhood, and start living independently at the age of sixteen."

It was the system again, so Lu Linbei didn't ask further.

The eldest brother does have a high prestige. Everyone from children to adults will wave hello or talk to him when they see him, but no one comes specially. The eldest brother treats everyone equally and never ignores anyone's greetings, so he walks very slowly.

The two extraterrestrial guests who were dressed in distinctive clothes received almost no attention. The only person who was curious about everything was Lu Linbei.

Walking and stopping along the way, it took longer than taking a car. Lu Linbei finally saw the only slightly taller building in the city, which was also the only square house. Looking closer, he could see that it was using the Jiazi star. It is a rare concrete material, but its appearance is covered with a large number of power generation panels, making it difficult to identify.

Lu Linbei guessed that this was the central memorial hall.

There are more than a dozen steps in front of the gate. They have been repaired many times over the years. The material is still a power generation board, painted in various colors, like a dirty rainbow.

A group of children were playing on the steps. When they saw the eldest brother, they immediately stood up and bowed slightly.

The eldest brother smiled and gently touched each child's forehead, walked to the top step, and sat down slowly with the help of two companions. The children did not run away, but continued their games and played with each other, except for the mouth. The language uttered is somewhat strange, no different from that of ordinary human children.

Mao Kongshan motioned to Lu Linbei to sit down with him, about two meters away from his eldest brother. Mao Kongshan was closer. The other two did not sit down, but walked to the side and looked at the children and the occasional passers-by.

"Children are hope." said the eldest brother.

"It's the same in our place." Mao Kongshan replied.

The eldest brother took off the collar around his neck and began to speak in the language of Jiazixing. Mao Kongshan listened very carefully, and then answered fluently, occasionally stopping to think for a moment.

Lu Linbei couldn't understand a word, and he admired Mao Kongshan in his heart for learning Jiazixing's language so quickly. After listening carefully for a while, he began to hear individual words clearly, and the children on the steps below could not even shout. No longer so abrupt.

More than ten minutes later, Mao Kongshan turned around and looked at Lu Linbei with an unnatural expression.

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "Just say it, I can bear it."

"The eldest brother said you had malicious intentions. Under such circumstances, he could not let you enter the memorial hall."

"Did he see it? Or did the system tell him?"

"He saw it."

"Then he must have experience with what 'malice' is."

Mao Kongshan smiled and shook his head, "You do have malicious intentions. Some people have never eaten spicy food since childhood, but they can still tell it immediately after taking a bite. The residents here are all sympathetic to each other, and they can detect abnormalities as soon as they see you.' Malice ' is the word I use, and in their words, it probably means you're not brotherly enough."

Lu Linbei also smiled, "I am indeed not their brother. Please tell him that I must check the system and supercomputer, no matter in which capacity."

"You are a threat."

"Can Professor Mao help him understand the meaning of 'threat'?"

Mao Kongshan's face darkened, "Although we are all from King Zhai, I will not help you in this kind of matter."

"No, no, Professor Mao is not helping me, but helping Jiazixing. If I can't make him understand my intentions now, I will have to change a 'language', which is even less friendly. Neither Professor Mao nor Jiazixing can like."

Mao Kongshan was very angry. He was not good at anger, so his face turned red and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The eldest brother spoke, and Mao Kongshan immediately turned around, exchanged a few words quickly, and then said to Lu Linbei again: "The eldest brother said that your malice has been rising."

Lu Linbei leaned forward, showed a smile to his eldest brother, and then said to Mao Kongshan: "Jiazi people are very good at reading emotions."

Mao Kongshan shook his head and uttered two words: "Woman."

"Um?"

"Look what you have become for a woman? Lu Linbei, you have crossed a line and become too crazy."

Lu Linbei thought for a while, "Professor Mao can tell them about me. It's best to describe clearly what 'crazy' is. And please tell him that I also want to meet with the 'sisters' in Zicheng." ."

Without communicating with his elder brother, Mao Kongshan said directly: "That's impossible. Male and female residents of cities A and Z can only meet at specified times, and only local residents designated by the system. You definitely can't do it."

"Professor Mao has met the residents of Zicheng?"

"I met her twice. The first time was when we just arrived. It was an extremely special situation. The second time was after I was accepted as a brother and I met the elder sister Zicheng. That's all."

"Special circumstances will always arise again, so I'm not in a hurry, but since I'm here today, and right at the entrance of the memorial hall, I must see the supercomputer that defeated Guihai, and that magical system."

"The system is in Zicheng, and there is only one receiving device in City A."

"You can look at the supercomputer and receiving device first."

Mao Kongshan was silent for a while, "Did you know? I can reject you personally and send you back to King Zhai."

"Because Professor Mao can use the power of the family." Lu Linbei said with a smile. He knew that Mao Kongshan had a profound background. Although he was somewhat rebellious, the relationship with the family was not completely broken.

"That's one of the last things I want to do. Besides, I've always had a good impression of you. It's a pity. Professor Qiao was right about you. He said you are doomed to be trapped by love."

"Professor Mao believes that the Jiazixing people are innocent?"

"Of course, they are one of the most innocent people on the eight planets. I can guarantee it with my life."

"I believe that my fiancée was kidnapped here. I have the same level of belief as Professor Mao. I can guarantee it with my life."

"I heard that you had always believed that your fiancée was on the Longitude and Latitude." Mao Kongshan said coldly.

"That time it was speculation. This time I have evidence, but I can't show it yet."

“Must take a look at supercomputers and systems first?”

"right."

Mao Kongshan smiled again, "You can't find anything. You are not even a computer expert. You should bring Li Feng back. You should believe what he says."

"I believe it, but even if Mr. Li comes, I still have to take a look for myself."

"Women." Mao Kongshan sighed again, turned to his eldest brother, and talked again.

The eldest brother actually showed a smile on his old face, put on the collar, and said directly to Lu Linbei: "Guest, you are getting out of the control of the system."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "We don't have a 'system' there."

"Yes, but you are not aware of it."

Lu Linbei was unable to refute.

The eldest brother continued: "Many people have had similar experiences. When they were young, they were full of energy and emotions, and their hearts were full of desire for the opposite sex."

"Does this happen to Jiazi people too?"

"Unavoidable."

"How to deal with it?"

"Send them to log wood."

"Um?"

"Physical fatigue will weaken the intensity of emotions. Of course, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In the end, young brothers and young sisters must be combined, provided that the system's arrangements are followed."

"No wonder there are so few young people in the city, it turns out they are all cutting trees."

"Haha." The eldest brother obviously thought this was a joke, "Are you willing to try it?"

Lu Linbei shook his head firmly, "That's not what I want."

The eldest brother took off the translator and said a few words. Mao Kongshan relayed: "The eldest brother allows you to enter the memorial hall. He hopes that after this, you can remove the malice in your heart. Otherwise, Jiazixing will have to refuse to communicate with aliens." human interaction.”

"Look, the simple Jiazi people also understand what threats are." Lu Linbei said.
