Chapter 18 Listening to Auntie Telling Stories from Her Childhood



Song Mingqian's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Let's stop here! It's like a campsite! It's a great place!"

Xia Chujian: “…”

She looked at Song Ming curiously and asked, "...What is camping?"

"You don't even know camping?! It's about a family bringing a tent and food, going hiking, then finding a designated campsite to stay, have a barbecue, and so on..."

Song Mingqian swallowed with a gulp.

Xia Chujian shrugged: "I don't understand, my family is poor and we have never been so extravagant."

"How can setting up camp be considered a luxury?!" Song Mingqian retorted, but was immediately restrained by Li Fu and Ping Qiong on the left and right.

Li Fu blocked his mouth and Ping Qiong twisted his thigh hard.

In their team, Xia Chujian's family situation is the worst, and they now know the reason.

Song Mingqian said this, isn't that poking at Xia Chujian's wounds?

How can you talk like that?

Song Mingqian finally came to his senses, hummed twice in embarrassment, and nodded desperately at Li Fu to show that he understood.

Li Fu slowly loosened his hands.

Song Mingqian said awkwardly, "...Well, camping is just a hassle, it has nothing to do with luxury!"

"We just found a cave in the mountains and hunted some wild game to satisfy our cravings."

Xia Chujian chuckled and called Song Mingqian by his nickname: "Alright, you're giving me money to kill me. I'm just teasing you... I know a lot about camping."

She remembered that when she was a child, her aunt, who depended on her for everything, would tell her some strange stories before going to bed at night.

At that time, the aunt and niece were really poor, so poor that they could only eat two meals a day, breakfast and lunch.

I didn’t eat anything for dinner, just drank some water and went to sleep.

Young Xia Chujian remembers that her stomach would growl and make her unable to sleep, so her aunt would tell her some strange stories.

For example, there is a story called "Three Golden Needles", which tells the story of a spirited young man named Yang Guo who made a random wish to a little girl named Guo Xiang and gave her three golden needles as a birthday present, which made the little girl fall in love with him.

Xia Chujian didn't like listening to this kind of story. What she liked most was her aunt telling stories about her own childhood.

For example, my aunt had a wealthy family when she was a child.

She would go on vacation with her family and go camping together. She would bring a delicious food called "ham sausage" and they would also set up a stove and eat "hot pot" outside.

The young Xia Chujian felt like he was listening to a foreign language. The more he listened, the hungrier he became, and he was full of longing for that kind of life.

When she grew up, she searched the Star Network for a long time, but she couldn't find what "ham sausage" was, let alone what "hot pot" was.

She asked her aunt, but she said she didn't remember...

Now she can earn money to support herself and her aunt, and there is a huge sum of 500,000 Beichen coins in her account.

There are no longer those days when we were children, when we had no food to eat and the aunt and niece could only huddle together for warmth in winter.

But she would rather exchange all of this for a healthy aunt who could tell her stories gently.

Even if I can only eat two meals a day from now on, and can only shiver in a thin quilt in winter.

Xia Chujian took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, turned her head and winked at Song Mingqian in the back seat, and said with a smile: "I was just kidding you! If you take it seriously, you're throwing your life away!"

Song Mingqian screamed strangely: "You little Chujian! You tricked me!"

He gritted his teeth and looked like he was about to jump up and hit someone, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Li Fu laughed so hard that he almost broke free from his seat belt.

Ping Qiong even grabbed Song Mingqian to prevent him from hitting Xia Chujian.

Ye Shijie was standing beside him, with his arms folded and his eyes closed, as if he hadn't heard anything. However, the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was not as detached as he appeared.

Amidst the laughter and joy in the aircraft, Xia Chujian landed the aircraft steadily on the open space by the lake.

There are dense evergreen trees on both sides. I don’t know what kind of trees they are, but they remain green all year round even in such cold weather.

At this time, it is covered with snow, and its shape is strange and unique, each piece looks like a bonsai carved from white jade and jade.

The trees were so dense that there was only a thin layer of snow and a little sparse yellow dead grass on the open space under the trees.

Everyone sat in the aircraft, turned on the aircraft's built-in lighting system, and at the same time turned on the automatic scanning system, scanning the data within a radius of ten miles, and then input it into the aircraft's built-in super optical computer system for modeling.

Xia Chujian adjusted the automatic scanning system and said regretfully, "What a pity! The magnetic field here is too strong. We can't connect to the star network."

As the name suggests, the star network is connected through satellites, so it is not only effective for the planet Guiyuan, but the entire star field where the Beichen Empire is located can be connected.

Unless there is magnetic field interference.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Xia Chu saw that their aircraft was a combat series and had already taken this situation into consideration, so a supercomputer system was loaded into the aircraft as the local host.

If the StarNet cannot be connected, you can use it directly as a host.

"Everyone, try to see if you can use your smart bracelet to connect to the aircraft's built-in super optical computer system to open a local LAN." Ye Shijie started to debug his smart bracelet first.

He has a quantum optical computer, and so do others, except Xia Chujian. So in the team, everyone tacitly agrees not to mention the quantum optical computer, and all use smart bracelets to communicate with each other.

Li Fu, Song Mingqian, Ping Qiong and Xia Chujian all started debugging the smart bracelets.
