The world enters the age of myth

Maybe Lu Yiming's words really worked, or maybe the refugee camp was so chaotic that it had to be rectified vigorously.

The next day, when Lu Yiming landed on the island again, he found that a basic orphanage had been established, housing a total of 449 orphans aged 1 to 10 years old, and a total of 139 orphans aged 10 to 14 years old.

The orphanage and the refugee camp are isolated from each other and have better living and dietary conditions.

In principle, adults from any ancient civilization are not allowed to enter or leave the orphanage.

"I saw a little girl yesterday, let's go look for her." Lu Yiming said to Jin Lili behind him.

I searched deliberately for about ten minutes. The two saw the little girl who had lost her parents. She was hiding in the corner, carefully nibbling an apple that had just been handed out.

In the orphanage, everyone is given an apple every day, but even in the orphanage, there are older and younger children. It is common for older children to bully younger children.

The little girl, who was only a little over four years old, squatted in the corner like a little squirrel, chewing slowly.

Her clothes were dirty and her face was dark.

The orphanage has just been established and is short of manpower. Where can we have so much energy to help these children?

But she still seemed happy. Sometimes, children are stronger than adults, and an apple can make her happy for a long time.

Lu Yiming put on the Xia Wenming helmet seized from Bolier Wenming.

With this helmet, you can translate almost any language.

"Kid, are apples delicious?" he asked with a smile.

The little girl was frightened and wanted to hide the apple.

She turned her head hesitantly and found a man lying in a wheelchair and wearing a helmet. He looked kind-hearted.

"I'm Mimi! I'm Mimi! (I don't have apples! I don't have apples!)"

Maybe it's because she's often robbed, the little girl said timidly.

A small face was wrinkled, and he was about to cry.

She doesn't like talking to strangers.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your things." Lu Yiming smiled.

Even in an orphanage, there are hierarchies.

Older kids bully younger kids.

Boys bully girls.

The stronger ones bully the weaker ones.

Jin Lili felt a sense of compassion and asked, "What's your name?"

"Mian Da! Mian Da! (Don't hit me, don't hit me!)"

The little girl said timidly, trembling all over and holding her head with her hands.

Ms. Jin Lili touched her head and gave the little girl another rainbow candy, "It's delicious."

Candy is indeed a weapon against children. Her eyes narrowed into a thin line and she became quiet.

"Is it tasty?"

The little girl smiled sweetly.

"how old are you?"

"Hmm?" She might not be able to count yet, but she was just giggling there, a little timid, and wanting to eat candy, and blinked with a pair of smart eyes.

She didn't dare to speak.

"You don't have any family anymore?"

"Ah..." She got another candy. After hearing this question, she originally wanted to laugh, but she almost cried when she smiled.

She wiped her eyes, frowned, and forced herself to laugh.

Such a young girl already knows that crying is useless.

Smiling is better than crying.

Lu Yiming scratched his hair and realized that he had asked a stupid question, and couldn't help but feel sorry secretly.

The atmosphere was a bit silent for a while.

"Let me give you another candy." Jin Lili gave her a candy.

"Everyone in the world is suffering..." Lu Yiming took off his helmet and said to Jin Lili, "Let me tell you a story."

"You tell me."

Lu Yiming looked at the sunset in the distance and told the whole story.

"One summer vacation many years ago, I worked part-time in a small restaurant. I was still a student at that time, and my parents would urge me to work during the summer vacation. They thought it was a crime for me to stay at home and play..."

"One of the days, two children in tattered clothes came in. The two childish faces were sallow and thin, and the little girl still had a runny nose. The little boy asked the store manager obediently: Uncle, can you give us something to eat? My sister Haven’t eaten for a day.”

"Huh? Are there such people in modern society?" Jin Lili questioned.

"Of course there is... We are a small city in the north. How can the economy be as developed as in the south? Of course there are children begging for food."

"Then what?"

"Then, the store manager quickly waved his hand and signaled them to get out quickly."

Lu Yiming fell into memories: "I turned around and went to the kitchen, took out a disposable bowl, filled some food, and handed it to the two children. The two children said 'thank you' and left, but the store manager started scolding me. : I want you to mind your own business? These beggars have tasted the sweetness once and they will keep coming here. What if they are dirty and are affecting my business?"

"I apologize with a smile: I won't give it to you next time."

"The store manager scolded me a few more times, and then went to the kitchen with his anger still lingering. At that time, I felt the same as now, a little confused."

Very simple story.

Jin Lili said: "You mean, people's moral level is directly proportional to their economic level?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "That's not true. It's not clear whether people are inherently good or inherently evil at first, and I don't know what the answer is. I just think that you gave her so much today. She was very happy to eat the Skittles. But from now on, you won’t be able to come every day and take care of her often. She will probably not be able to eat them in the future, right? "

"You have satisfied your moral sense now, but what about in the future?"

Jin Lily lowered her head and looked at the girl who was only one meter tall, and suddenly couldn't breathe.

Is it possible that she comes every day?

Of course it's impossible.

Jin Lili is very busy at work and only comes here occasionally today.

The girl was very thin and was eating the Skittles carefully. She held two of them tightly in her hands, wanting to eat them slowly without being noticed by others.

Children are always very sensitive and can tell that the two people standing next to her are good people.

Her eyes were timid and she didn't dare to say a word.

The two were silent for a long time, a little at a loss.

This feeling is very cramped, a special experience that I have never experienced before.

"How about adopting one? Aren't we studying relevant policies now? These children... after all, it is better to take them back to the Sea of ​​Clouds and raise them." Jin Lili suddenly said, "Actually, it's not bad... we don't have any children yet. , she has also passed the most troublesome age."

"Is motherhood overflowing? Adopting a child requires a lot of energy. Do you have so much time? I am very busy at work and don't have so much time." Lu Yiming said, "Don't do it on a whim. Raising a child requires a lot of energy." Don’t make decisions based on emotions for a lifetime.”

"And... at least discuss it with your parents."

Lu Yiming is a very rational person. He is not opposed to adopting one, but how to raise it is the big issue.

If you don’t have enough energy to raise someone, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Both of them are busy people and work overtime almost every day. Where can they find so much time?

"I'm serious... My parents have been urging me to have a child for a long time. You must also be under pressure in this regard." Jin Lili said, "And at our age... it's time to consider this aspect."

The two of them are not young either...

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven years, almost eight years, since I escaped from the earth.

The two of them have been married for many years, and are already over thirty. It would be strange not to be urged by their elders.

"That seems to be true..." Lu Yiming wrinkled his nose. He is very busy at work and doesn't have much time to see his family.

Even if they meet, his parents often ask him when he will have a baby.

People of the older generation always have more desire to continue the family lineage.

Moreover, if a society wants to continue normally, it always needs the next generation.

Jin Lili added: "Adopt one and let your parents help take care of it. It doesn't take much energy. You can have another baby when you want to have a baby. Anyway, there is no family planning now. It's not bad to have a sister first."

"She is already four or five years old. The most difficult stage of raising her is over. It doesn't take much effort to raise one now. Haha, it's like picking up a ready-made one."

"Asking your parents to help...you have a good idea."

However, this is also true. Even if they give birth to one child, the chances are higher that the parents will take care of them.

Jin Lili smiled and said: "No matter how bad it is, you can still use it to do housework... These little people who have suffered a lot are usually very well-behaved."

The dirty girl shuddered unconsciously.

Lu Yiming rolled his eyes unconsciously. In fact, Jin Lili was right. Children who are used to living a hard life are very sensible.

Moreover, at the age of four or five, the mind is not completely rigid yet, so it can still be matured.

This little girl's eyesight is really good. After cleaning it, it should be pretty good.

After making up their minds, the two soon returned to the Unkai and discussed the matter with their parents. Lu Yiming's parents were a little hesitant, but Jin Lili's parents were quite supportive.

After formal discussions between both families, it was finally decided to adopt the poor little girl.

From now on, she changed her name to "Lu Lingling", a simple but nice name.

This incident even has a certain degree of political meaning. After all, Yunhaihao society is a society that pays attention to human rights, and many reporters have reported this incident one after another.

When the tragic experiences of these refugees, especially orphans, were reported, there was immediately a wave of orphan adoptions!

The total population of Yunhai is 300,000, and there are many families, especially older intellectuals. They have the desire and ability to raise another child...

There is not much pressure to take in four to five hundred children.

Of course, in order to reduce subsequent troubles, government departments also conduct complete tests on the qualifications of adoptive families. At least the parents must have good moral character, have no criminal records, and have good financial conditions.

There is definitely no problem with Lu Yiming and his wife, from their financial ability to their personal moral character.

As one of the lucky ones, Lu Lingling was among the first batch to enter the Sea of ​​Clouds shelter after undergoing a full set of inspections and related procedures.

The child has been washed clean and is really white and tender.

Lu Yiming happened to have a few days off and had enough time to spend with her, so he tried to teach her Chinese.

The children were a little timid at first, but after getting to know each other for a long time, they especially like to laugh, and they can giggle for a long time after hearing something fun.

She soon began to act like a child. Running around the room, a rag doll can keep you entertained for a long time.

Who doesn't want to be innocent when you have a backing to rely on?

"Daddy... let me feed you."

The little girl who had experienced hardship was able to distinguish who was good to her and who was not good to her. She even took care of Lu Yiming who was paralyzed in a wheelchair two days later.

Lu Yiming's parents were a little reluctant to accept this little girl at first. After all, she was not their biological child and felt a bit weird.

But it only took a few days for him to accept this fact and happily take Lu Lingling around on the street.

With the addition of a sensible little girl, laughter is everywhere.

Cuteness is indeed the primary productive force.

"This is the happiness of a family."

Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as time goes by, everything will become different.

Originally, he thought that he was still young and still very far away from having children.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, I am no longer young...

He is 34 years old, almost 35 years old. In a few years, I will be forty.

The sage has a saying: "At the age of thirty, you will not be confused, at the age of forty you will not be confused, and at the age of fifty you will know your destiny." At the age of thirty, people should determine their life goals and development direction; at the age of forty, there will be no room for choice or retreat; At the age of fifty, you have to accept your fate. You can no longer resist the fate of life. You can only move forward along the established path.

It is difficult to understand the words of the sage when you are young, you just swallow them wholeheartedly.

But as time goes by, I will feel more and more why the saint's words can be circulated for thousands of years, because he told the true portrayal of life.

Maybe in the future, I will actually try to have a child by myself.

A new life means new hope and a new path.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh: "The greatest happiness in the world is that your parents are alive, your lover is by your side, your children are growing up, the smoke is curling up from the kitchen, the meals are warm, you have a few old friends, you have a pleasant drink, and you do the things you love. You can do whatever you want..."

"Where is Lu Lingling?" Jin Lili's voice came to her ears.

"I was taken out to play by your father. I shouldn't be back until tonight..."

"She is now naughty and learning language very quickly. It will take another six months to send her to kindergarten."

"Your body should have recovered a bit. Come with me to the laboratory for a physical examination." Jin Lili pushed his wheelchair to the supernatural laboratory.

There was a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she felt good about her current state of life.

"There are a lot of things to be tested this time. Because it involves the Z element..."

As the first human being transformed by Z element in the world, Lu Yiming needs to conduct all-round testing!

There is no Z element reserve on the Yunhai ship, and Xiaolong has not grown up yet. People can only obtain some data by studying Lu Yiming...

Just like that, seven days passed quickly...

The first seven days in the traditional sense have arrived, and the Yunhai government held a memorial ceremony for the martyrs.

This war was too tragic. More than a thousand people were killed, which was the biggest disaster since Sanctuary escaped from the earth.

For several other civilizations, memorial ceremonies are also held on this day.

The atmosphere inside the Unkai became quite solemn.

As a large number of militiamen were called up, games were suspended, Internet cafes were closed, and sports fields were deserted. Except for some news that still reports on the tragedy of the outside world, there are almost no other entertainment programs.

A large number of militiamen were recruited, the battlefield was cleared quickly, valuable specimens were collected, and those of no value were transported to professional incinerators for cremation. Since the battlefields involved are widely distributed, the amount of work is quite large.

Everyone was sighing, and faint sounds of crying could be heard.

A large space rift once appeared in a certain area inside the shelter, and a large number of monsters invaded, resulting in a wave of civilian deaths. Until now, the traces of the battle have not been completely removed.

People spontaneously laid flowers at the site of the disaster.

Disasters... Even if they happen many times, who can get used to them?

"Shot!"

"salute!"

"A moment of silence!"

The first seven is a funeral custom. People believe that the "First Seven" refers to the seventh day after a person dies. The soul of the deceased will return home on the "First Seven", and family members should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the soul returns.

This custom is not only shared by the Unkai, but also by three ancient civilizations that suffered serious damage.

The locals wore white crowns and burned some paper money into ashes. There were cries of "woo woo" everywhere.

The venue is more formal, not only to commemorate the dead, but also to comfort the living humans.

The founding father once said: "From now on, no matter who dies in our ranks, whether he is a cook or a soldier, as long as he has done some useful work, we will bury him and hold a memorial service. This It must become a system. This method must also be introduced to the common people. When someone in the village dies, a memorial service is held. Use this method to express our grief and unite the entire people."

As more than a thousand coffins were burned to ashes by the blazing flames, the crowd on the deck also cried into tears.

In the tomb of the martyrs southwest of the shelter, a large number of lists of the dead have been added.

"The ceremony is over!"

With a loud roar from the trumpeter, all the soldiers participating in the memorial ceremony dropped their salutes with a "snap".

Many of them were injured, with bandages still on their heads and arms, but when they looked at the brand-new tombstones, everyone's eyes were so profound... Without these sacrificed soldiers, the society of Yunhai It has not developed as far as it does now.

"Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Our civilization has no shortage of heroes!"

Just like Ding Yuan's simple speech after the ceremony.

There are many people who are unknown in ordinary times, but there is no shortage of people here who work hard, work hard, pray for the people, and sacrifice their lives to seek justice. At critical moments, they will step forward. Even the risk of death can often not hide their glory. This is the backbone of the nation.

"Those who are alive must live well..."

…

Time passes quickly.

After the memorial service, 10 days passed again.

The pain began to subside slowly, and a large number of militiamen who were recruited returned to their jobs.

"Papa, come to the Kan cabin." The child Lu Lingling can only speak a few simple Chinese words now. Many of the languages ​​​​are incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

She is a fast learner and likes to hide things like a hamster since she learned that she can only eat one candy a day.

Her grandfather, who loved children, bought her a complete set of stationery, so Lu Lingling hid a lot of White Rabbit toffee in the stationery box.

When you want to eat, take it out quietly, lick it, and then wrap it back in the packaging bag.

She is still young and her fingers are not very flexible. It will take at least ten minutes to repackage the toffee.

"Daddy, eat some candies." She was actually very generous in this matter. After hiding more than 10 candies, she began to share them with her big supporters.

Children can also tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.

When Lu Yiming found out about this incident, he was speechless. He sighed deeply: "My daughter really needs to be rich...otherwise, someone would have cheated me out of a pack of snacks."

Finally, I took her to the supermarket and bought a whole box of White Rabbit toffees.

Lu Lingling was simply shocked. How many days could she eat so much toffee? It was difficult for her simple mind to calculate.

Although she can still only eat one pill a day, there hasn't been much change in terms of quantity.

The addition of Lu Lingling brought new vitality to the small family. In particular, the number of visits by parents has increased significantly. The old man usually watches TV every night, but now he often takes his daughter out to play.

Lu Yiming always felt that his daughter was not raised by himself, but by his parents... But this was also the tradition of the Xia people, so there was nothing strange about it.

After a while, Lu Lingling will be able to go to kindergarten, and she will have to be well educated then.

As time goes by, the society of Yunhai is still under military control and civilians are not allowed to go out at will. However, the atmosphere in the shelter is slowly improving. After all, there are too many things to do now.

Busy work and good expectations for the future slowly dilute the depression in people's hearts...

A very important topic, I don’t know when it started, is brewing rapidly on the Internet.

One netizen posted: "If the remaining monsters in this world are cleaned up, will we be able to get a safe world?"

By the way, there is also a planetary fortress that is less than 20% complete!

Although I don’t know how much the things inside can be repaired after being placed for 800,000 years, it is also an epoch-making great technological relic, and it must contain technological mysteries that are unimaginable to humans! Things like cold fusion and universal factories are completely science fiction-level technologies!

If this ruins were fully developed, how much progress would human society make?

With nuclear fusion energy, it won’t be a problem for 1 billion people to live in such a large underground space, right?

There are also many ancient civilization heritages that are waiting for people to analyze and study.

The Sea of ​​Clouds took in refugees from three ancient countries, and naturally also took in their supernatural heritage. The harvest in this area is still being sorted out.

But you have to know that this world was once inhabited by more than twenty civilizations. Most of the civilizations perished in this disaster, but there is still some legacy, right?

These heritages are very good research objects!

(PS: Two-in-one!)
