Xu Le walked under the tree.
Huai Caoshi heard the sound of footsteps, did not look back, and stood up from under the tree with a book.
Xu Le was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm a little surprised, how could you pick this place." ” Huai Caoshi turned around and looked at him calmly, a sincere smile appeared on her usual indifferent face, but this sincere smile appeared on the face of this terrifying highness, which was really a little difficult to adapt.
"Since I dare to come to the Federation, I naturally didn't just rely on a word of daring, but also made some preparations in advance."
The morning fog creeps slowly around the wetlands, seemingly thin, but layered on top of each other, enough to shelter military satellite surveillance from outside the atmosphere, the heart of the wildlife sanctuary and where federal surveillance is weakest.
Xu Le withdrew his gaze from the depths of the morning mist, looked at her and smiled, not knowing what to say.
Sensing his complicated emotions at the moment, Huai Caoshi paused for a moment and continued to smile and said: "However, the density of the Federation's surveillance is still far beyond my imagination, if it weren't for the help that woman of yours gave us, it was far beyond my imagination, I really don't have confidence that I can stay here for long." ” Xu Le knew that she was referring to Zou Yu and the small blue light instrument, scratched his head, and explained, "She is not my woman. ” After saying this, the two of them fell silent again, and the atmosphere under the tree became a little weird or awkward, whether it was Xu Le or Huai Caoshi, they were not people with extraordinary emotional intelligence such as Shi Qinghai, they didn't know what to say, what kind of topic entry point should be chosen to make this conversation in the morning fog get on the right track.
In a way, Xu Le and Huai Caoshi are very familiar, they have spent a long time together in the Empire, fierce debates and horrific gambles, and they even fought side by side during the rebellion, and staged the myth of machine battles in that ocean-like mulberry forest.
But this familiarity is the familiarity between the enemy, whether it is him or Huai Caoshi, they have not forgotten the electronic explosives installed on him by the intelligence agency at that time, as well as those cruel punishments, if it were not for those continuous events that twisted and turned, but seemed to be a coincidence, Xu Le would have killed each other at all costs, and Huai Caoshi was the same, and in that white courtyard, they had all tried.
Now it's about acknowledging our kinship Xu Le thought of what Huai Caoshi said in the snow next to the Allure Military Prison, his eyes couldn't help but become a little confused, he had lost his family and been lonely for many years since he was a child, as if he had just slept for a while, and when he woke up, he found that he had an extra sister in the distant universe, and it was likely that there would be many more relatives.
Woke up from the dream and instantly entered another strange dream, not everyone can immediately accept the mental impact, even if he has the thickest nerves, so after a long silence, he asked a question that seemed particularly clumsy in the process of escaping in the here and now.
"What book are you reading?"
Huai Caoshi didn't answer, but turned her wrist directly and turned the cover around, with the name of the book written on it, Love in the Charter Era" "This is a literary novel, according to the introduction, the author has won the Nebula Award to see a lot of metaphors, the author put the fear and resentment of the glory of the charter, in the carrier of love, very clever and wonderful, I am surprised, I think you need to strengthen the planning of humanistic literacy in the future."
"Generally speaking, the person standing outside the wall is always prone to find metaphors for the meaningless actions of the people inside the wall."
Xu Le defended, not noticing, he still subconsciously stood on the position of the Federation.
Huai Caoshi smiled meaningfully, did not continue the topic, and said: "I don't know how long I will wait for you under this tree, so I have prepared several books, and the reading experience of the federal text is good, which is indeed stronger than the empire." ” Xu Le's eyes moved to the bottom of the tree, and found that there was a thick pile of books there, and the names of several books could be vaguely seen, including the Charter Chronicle, and a copy of George Carlin Research.
Noticing his puzzled expression, Huai Caoshi explained: "Since entering the Federation, especially the Capital Star Circle, many details I have observed are proving the gap between my Hibiscus Dynasty and the Federation, the Federation is very powerful, and in order to defeat such a powerful enemy, you should first understand the enemy, and these folk books that the Intelligence Agency has never cared about are very good research materials in my opinion." ” After a pause, she looked into Xu Le's eyes and said, "Of course, now that there is a person in my White Hibiscus Dynasty who knows the Federation best, then you will be responsible for these things in the future." ” His Royal Highness's tone was calm and ordinary, as if to say, tomorrow it will be your turn to wash the dishes at home, but Xu Le heard what she wanted to express.
The two sisters and brothers in the morning mist under the tree are undoubtedly the two people who believe in simple and direct creeds the most in the universe, and the communication between them will become very simple and direct as long as the awkward and awkward atmosphere at the beginning is broken, so Xu Le simply shook his head and did not explain too much.
Huai Caoshi looked into his eyes quietly, without disappointment or anger, and said: "I know that you have no feelings for the empire, after all, you have lived in the Federation since you were a child, and you have received those sour and rotten educations, in your eyes, the empire's system is primitive and backward, and you are talented and barbaric, so your unwillingness to serve the empire should be a very real instinctive reaction." ” "It's not a sour education."
Xu Le looked back into her eyes and said, "I've been to the Federation, I've seen Lihanxing undergoing reforms, I've seen the life of untouchables like pigs and dogs in the empire, and the tragic image of tens of millions of rebels being crushed into pulp. ” "In my opinion, although this federation is not perfect, and even sometimes it is dirty and disgusting, no matter what, it is better than the Left Heaven Star Field."
Huai Caoshi's eyes narrowed, and his gaze gradually sharpened: "The butcher puts on a mask of hypocrisy and changes the method of killing pigs from a knife to an electric shock, can it prove that he is not a butcher?"
Xu Le said in a low voice: "Even if it is a pig, at least it is more comfortable to die, this small change is actually a very important difference." ” Huai Caoshi stared at his eyes, slowly lowered his hands behind his back, turned around and looked up at the unclear end of the morning mist, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "If you value this change very much, then you should go home with me, only in this way can you complete this change." ” Xu Le followed her gaze and looked into the depths of the morning mist, not knowing what was there, and replied after a moment of silence: "I know myself very well, and I know that I absolutely have no ability to change that star field. ” "There's an electronic fence over there in the morning fog."
"When I first came into contact with this information, I found it difficult to understand why the Federalists had built such a long electronic fence to turn humans into monkeys in a zoo for wild beasts to watch," said Huai Caoshi.
"I was really surprised to learn that these electronic walls were there to protect the beasts from being hunted by humans, and I didn't expect them to be based on such ridiculous reasons."
She did not hide the contempt and ridicule on her face: "Life can only move forward in competition, and the Federation thinks it is protecting the ecology by doing so, but it is fighting against the laws of nature, how arrogant." ” "The law of the jungle, in the language of the Federation, it should be said that these beasts are not as strong as humans, so they should be eaten, life is a process of continuous elimination and selection, if you forcibly interfere with this process, in the end it can only become the current Federation, after 10,000 years of development, there is no qualitative leap, just like this pool of stagnant water in front of you and me, there can be no waves."
Huai Caoshi turned her head, looked at Xu Le coldly and said, "Although the empire is at a disadvantage now, as long as it is not destroyed for a while, it will be able to surpass the federation in a maximum of thirty years, and this is the reason. ” "We eat meat, they eat compounds, how can we not win."
Her voice was still indifferent and calm, and the federal language was still a little stiff, but these words, especially every word in the last sentence, came out of the thin lips, and it actually fell on the surface of the wetland water with an unquestionable hardness, and the murderous intent came out, startling a few gulls and herons, and the white-winged mist.
A tanuki who was lying on the edge of the waterhole for morning drinking, glanced warily under the tree, and then turned and ran away in horror, and a group of lions in the long grass farther away seemed a little restless, and the male lion bit the neck of the lioness, but did not dare to take a step closer in this direction.
"The strong take the initiative to leave room for the weak, and I think it's a kind of progress."
Xu Le looked at her thin but incomparably powerful back, and said after a moment of silence: "What's more, the relationship between human social classes cannot be completely equated with the relationship between humans and beasts. ” "That's why I say that the education of the Federation is sour, that there has never been absolute equality in human society, that there is no empire, that there is no Federation, that there is no in the past, that there is no now, and that there will never be anything in the future."
Huai Caoshi turned around, looked at Xu Le with an expressionless face, and said, "Don't be too naïve, even if you often talk about natural human rights, in my opinion, it's just a joke."
The true qi flowing in your body and me, why can't the common people learn because this is a gift from the Creator only to us, do you think that this is also equal?"
"Don't tell me that the Li family in Philadelphia is also an imperial family."
Xu Le subconsciously answered, and then fell silent at the same time as Huai Caoshi, because a similar conversation had appeared in the Red Rose and Songhai back then, when Xu Le finally laughed and asked if I am also an imperial family The conversation is still the same as it used to be, but the answer is completely different.
"We used to talk about it."
Xu Le's eyes lowered slightly and said, "Maybe we are really born to be the most powerful people in the universe, but this does not mean that we are born with some kind of privilege. ” He pointed to the clear blue sky above the fog and said, "The charter computer is catching me, it is stronger than me, should I surrender to a computer?"
"If I don't want to be enslaved by it, then why enslave others" To be continued:
