Chapter 59: Monument to the Heroes of One Hundred Million People
"Stop." A cold shout came from inside the house. Ying San and Ying Si immediately stopped and stood aside.
Dongfang Ze walked over and pulled his sister's hand away. "You don't know how to handle the situation. Didn't you see that Xinxin is suffocating because of you hugging her?"
Dongfang Ling looked at Xinxin, whose face was flushed and who was breathing heavily, and felt guilty. She said embarrassedly, "Xinxin, I'm sorry. I'm just too happy to see you."
"It's okay, I'm fine." Mu Qingxin smiled and waved her hand, looking at Dongfang Ze and politely greeted, "Hello, Brother Dongfang."
"Well, good heart, come in. Lingling is ignorant and didn't even know to invite you in when you came."
"Yes, Xinxin, come in quickly." Dongfang Ling pulled Mu Qingxin's hand and walked into the house.
Mu Qingxin smiled and followed Dongfang Ling into the house. Suddenly she remembered something and stopped. She looked at Bai Bing who had been standing outside the door without saying a word. "Thank you, Auntie, for bringing me here."
Bai Bing was shocked when she saw Dongfang Ze and his sister early in the morning. The boss had repeatedly told her that they should not be neglected because they were guests of distinguished status. She had been keeping silent just now for fear of attracting their attention.
Bai Bing was still a little bit incredulous when she heard the cute little girl thank her. However, her years of work experience had helped her to regain her composure immediately. She put on a proper smile and said, "You're welcome. It's my job."
Mu Qingxin smiled and nodded, then went into the house with Dongfang Ling. Pierre followed them in. Ying San and Ying Si closed the door after everyone entered the room.
The door was closed again, blocking the sound of the people inside. Bai Bing raised his head and stared blankly at the closed door. He recalled the thanks he had just received and felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart. He had been doing this job for so many years, and this was the first time someone said thank you to him. Bai Bing suddenly felt full of energy, and turned to leave with a confident smile on his face.
Sometimes, an inconspicuous and ordinary "thank you" can inadvertently bring people great satisfaction.
"Xinxin, I have chosen the route. Let's take a good tour of the capital star today!" Dongfang Ling excitedly showed Mu Qingxin the route she had chosen.
Mu Qingxin took a look and realized that she didn't know any of these places. "I don't know where this is, but I'm just going with Lingling today. Wherever you go, I'll go!"
Dongfang Ling was deeply moved when she heard Xinxin trust her so much. She hugged Mu Qingxin and patted her chest with one hand, "Don't worry, you won't go wrong if you follow me. I promise to make you happy today!"
"Haha, okay."
Looking at the two people, one with a heroic smile and the other with a silly smile, Dongfang Ze shook his head helplessly and looked at Eye Shadow Three and Eye Shadow Four. He didn't believe his sister. Not only were the two of them sold, but they were still happily counting money for others.
Shadow Three and Shadow Four noticed their master's gaze, then looked at the young lady, and suddenly they felt that today's task was very heavy.
Mu Qingxin brought a gift for Dongfang Ze, which was a tea tree planted in the space. She didn't know it before and thought it was a vegetable, so she planted it together. Unexpectedly, it was a tea tree. She didn't know how to fry it, so she just picked the tea leaves and put them in a box and gave it to Dongfang Ze. She had seen Dongfang Ze love to drink tea, so she thought of giving him tea, otherwise it would look bad to come empty-handed.
Dongfang Ze was very happy to receive the gift from Mu Qingxin. After the two left, Dongfang Ze opened the box to see what the gift was. As soon as he opened the box, he smelled a strong fragrance of tea. It looked like tea leaves that had just been picked. Dongfang Ze was stunned for a while.
He picked up a piece of tea and put it in his mouth. The full fragrance filled his mouth, the tip of his tongue was bitter, and then sweetness remained. "Good tea!" Dongfang Ze looked at the tea in his hand. It was not worse than the ones produced by his own family, and even better.
"Let Yingjiu send it home to fry it, and don't let anyone touch it after frying!" Dongfang Ze handed the tea to Yingyi and ordered.
"Yes, master." Yingyi went out with the tea leaves.
Dongfang Ze savored the aroma, his eyes glinting with a dark thought. Freshly picked tea leaves? As far as he knew, there were no tea trees on the capital planet. However, Ou Xuemei often worked with plants, so encountering tea trees was not out of the question.
On the other side, Dongfang Ling happily pulled Mu Qingxin out of the hotel. Looking at the sky outside the hotel, she shouted, "I'm finally out!"
"."Mu Qingxin covered her face and said, sister, I'm really feeling depressed.
"." When Shadow Three and Shadow Four learned from the young lady that the two of them were together, they looked at each other coldly. But now, seeing the young lady laughing with a relieved look on her face, they actually felt a little sympathy in their hearts.
"Let's go first to the center of the capital planet, the Hero Monument of One Hundred Million People, and see the Hero Monument. By the way, we can also see the Flame Tree that is rumored to have lived for thousands of years. Then we will go to Linglang Street. I heard that you can find good things there, and then go..."
While Dongfang Ling was chattering non-stop, several people got on the flying car, controlled by Pierre, and headed for the Monument to the Heroes of One Hundred Million People.
"Master, we have arrived at the monument to the heroes of one hundred million people." Pierre said as he drove his flying car to the ground.
Dongfang Ling pulled Mu Qingxin out of the car, followed closely by Ying San and Ying Si. Pierre put away the flying car and followed his master towards the Heroes Monument.
Mu Qingxin and the others saw from afar a transparent pillar in front of them that reached up to the sky, with densely packed names displayed on it.
"It's so quiet." Dongfang Ling said in a low voice.
Mu Qingxin looked around. There were many people standing under the hero's monument. Everyone had a sad and respectful expression on their face. Most of them were adults with children. It was obvious that these children were the ones who were about to enter school this year.
"Baby, look, the name in the middle is your great-grandfather's name."
The person next to Mu Qingxin was pointing at the hero's monument to her son. Following his finger, he saw so many names on it that he couldn't tell which one it was.
"Pierre, who are these people's names?" Mu Qingxin asked.
Pierre stepped forward and said, "Master, there are hundreds of millions of names on this monument. These are the warriors who have sacrificed their lives in war since humans entered the universe. There have been too many wars in the universe. The peaceful lives people live today are the result of the lives of these warriors who sacrificed their lives."
After hearing this, Dongfang Ling and Mu Qingxin looked up at the names on the monument. There were so many names, so densely packed, it showed how difficult it was for humans to survive in the universe.
Next to the Heroes' Monument stood a row of screens, showing videos of warriors bravely battling the Zerg. Many people stood before the screens, their faces stained with tears and grief.
Mu Qingxin stared at the picture above intently. After a moment, she felt a little depressed. If the war in the video happened in her previous life, it would definitely be a blockbuster full of special effects, but this was not her previous life. This was a real fact that happened. Mu Qingxin watched the huge and ugly Zerg inhumanely sucking and devouring humans, and the human resistance was so weak, making humans seem so fragile and insignificant.
