Chapter 4: Give the Star People a Little Shock of the Times
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Mu followed Ye Qianjun onto the train.
That scene really scared her a little.
This was the first time in all her years that she found herself having to squeeze onto a bus.
The backwardness of technological research and development in this era was beyond her expectations.
In the interstellar age, even the free buses specifically for the poor do not have this kind of ceremony.
There are tickets available, so why are you trying so hard to squeeze in?
She didn't know what was going on, she was just stunned for a moment, and was pulled onto the train by Ye Qianjun, with her hand almost dislocated.
She followed Ye Qianjun in a somewhat clumsy manner, with shock written all over her face.
The air inside the car was very turbid. Ye Mu had been to some industrial bases and special resource collection planets.
Even on planets with air purifiers installed, the air is not this turbid, even in places known for the worst air pollution.
Maybe it's because the space is too small and there are too many people.
Ye Mu accepted the poverty and backwardness of this era with difficulty, following closely behind Ye Qianjun, his eyes scanning everyone's face.
Her memory has always been extraordinary. Even if she just met them briefly, she could still remember the people in her sight.
As long as she has seen it, there is nothing she can't remember.
When her eyes swept across a couple and their child, she stopped for a moment. The woman was coaxing the little one who was crying in her arms.
Ye Mu saw the little boy's appearance clearly and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The life of interstellar people is very long. Human physique and genes have been improved in all aspects, and the average life expectancy has been increased to 150 years.
The longest-lived interstellar human lived for 490 years. During the last 100 years of his life, he was treated like a treasure by the planet's government.
The places she lived in and the things she used have all become museums and famous tourist attractions.
No matter how long we live, humans will always have a need and desire to increase their lifespan.
Therefore, biological genetic research has never stopped. A long life means that a person has more than one choice in his life and does not have to go down one path to the end.
Perhaps after working in an industry for a few decades, you find that you are not suitable for it, and you can start a new life in another field.
Ye Mu lived for nearly fifty years and died unexpectedly when he encountered turbulence in the galaxy's planetary belt. According to the interstellar age classification, he was in his youth.
She was once particularly interested in biological genetic research and took a minor in this area. After achieving some success, she realized that unraveling the meaning of life was a bit too boring for her, so she turned to invention and manufacturing.
Creating is more interesting to her.
In terms of biological genetic research, research on heredity is the most developed part. Ye Mu has also seen many examples of genetics, especially those that deduce the level of heredity that a new generation can achieve based on different genomes.
Including IQ, appearance, physical fitness, life span and so on.
Therefore, based on the experience of interstellar genetics and physiognomy, it can be inferred that the child in the arms of this couple has absolutely no relationship with them.
There are no genetic characteristics between them.
Just by taking one look at the child, she could predict what he would look like when he grew up, and based on his appearance as shown by his genes, there was no way he could be related to this couple.
Although both the child and the man and woman looked very ordinary.
She was puzzled. Could it be that like the original owner, he was left in someone else's home for foster care?
After taking a few more glances, the woman and the man immediately looked at Ye Mu. Ye Mu had done a lot of research and knew that the first step in judging a person was to analyze and judge the other person based on their appearance. She read the defensiveness in their eyes.
It is hidden very deeply, but in order to create a more perfect robot, Ye Mu studied a lot of information in this area.
"Girl, what are you looking at?" the elder brother said to Ye Mu.
He glanced at Ye Qianjun in front of Ye Mu from the corner of his eye in a very subtle way.
Ye Qianjun was wearing a green military uniform and walking in the carriage. Most people would give way to him and Ye Mu.
This shows their respect for Ye Qianjun's military uniform.
Ye Mu did not answer, but turned around and followed Ye Qianjun away.
Ye Qianjun did not look back the whole time. He just apologized to his fellow villagers, saying that his sister was autistic and could not speak, and thanked them for making way for him.
"Let's go. Don't just stand there like an idiot." After talking to the people nearby, Ye Qianjun turned around and apologized to the older brother. "Brother, I'm sorry. My sister is autistic. She has never been far away from home. Everything she sees is strange. You might scare her if you yell at her like this."
"It's okay. The girl is pretty and she keeps staring at me. My wife is going to be jealous." The elder brother smiled innocently. It was really like that. The woman next to him stretched out her hand and twisted his arm. She glared at him and said loudly, "I gave birth to a baby for you, and you still dare to flirt with other women!"
As he said this, he glared at Ye Mu fiercely.
"Sorry, sorry." Ye Qianjun apologized quickly and pulled Ye Mu forward.
The conversation of the four people could be heard all around, and everyone burst into laughter. The already noisy train became even more chaotic in Ye Mu's impression.
Ye Mu followed behind Ye Qianjun, looking down in thought. Ye Qianjun occasionally looked back at her and thought she was so well-behaved.
Apart from being immersed in her own world and not caring much about other people, his cousin is really easy to take care of.
It was the first time he had seen someone so well-behaved and so clever in his actions.
The silence makes people feel less worried for some reason.
That’s right. For some people, it’s a disaster when they open their mouths. Having a mouth is more troublesome than having no mouth at all.
She is obviously 18 years old, but she looks like 15 or 16 years old, too young.
I don't know if I can make up for it by eating more.
It would be better if you could grow some more flesh on your face, then you would probably be cuter.
He glanced into the train compartment behind Ye Mu, and swept his eyes over the couple just now without any expression, so that no one far away could notice it.
Ye Qianjun felt sorry for his sister, so he booked a sleeper ticket. After finding a bed, he put his luggage away and said to her:
"Wait here for me to come back. Don't go anywhere, okay?"
Ye Mu just looked up at him, saying nothing, maintaining her silence.
This is consistent with the behavior of an autistic person and can also help us understand more about this era without making a fuss.
Ye Qianjun was very worried. He looked at the elder sister in the bed next to him and said, "Eldest sister, can you help me look after my sister while I go to the toilet? Okay?"
The elder sister shrank back, holding the large army green bag in her arms, then glanced at Ye Qianjun's military uniform, nodded, and said:
"Soldier comrade, go ahead. I'll watch over your sister."
She looked at the pale girl who seemed a little silly. Some fools are easy to take care of, but some are not.
So she looked at Ye Mu with some fear, but Ye Mu still had no reaction.
Ye Qianjun breathed a sigh of relief and left immediately, but he did not go to the toilet. Instead, he looked around vigilantly and found the few train attendants on the train.
Ye Qianjun first showed his ID, then said:
"I suspect there are human traffickers on the train. I hope your people can cooperate with the operation."
The police officer immediately saluted him and began to learn the details...
Ye Qianjun was gone for a little too long, and the woman sitting opposite Ye Mu started to feel uneasy, looking at Ye Mu as if he would bully her.
Ye Mu sat on his bed with his eyes lowered, unable to see what was lurking behind her calm pupils.
The moment Ye Mu raised his eyes, the woman was startled. She had an inexplicable intuition that the fool in front of her was more terrifying than the one at home.
That glance brought her an invisible pressure and a shock to her soul.
She had never seen such a person before, so she quickly lowered her head and hugged her army green bag tightly.
After a while, she finally couldn't sit still anymore. The area around her was noisy and the people on the upper bunk were discussing all the gossip they had seen.
One of them was timid and the other didn't look like a normal person. I just heard that she had autism, so no one talked to them.
As soon as the woman stood up, Ye Mu raised his eyelids and looked at her.
The woman put on her bag and saw Ye Mu looking at her, so she said:
"I, I'm going to find your brother."
She believed in the soldier, but the soldier had been gone for too long.
Ye Mu stood up as well. Coincidentally, she was also curious about where Ye Qianjun was doing.
The woman was anxious and gestured to Ye Mu: "You need to stay and watch your things!"
Ye Mu said nothing, just looked at her. The woman realized that this fool could not communicate. She glanced at Ye Mu and Ye Qianjun's luggage and said to the young man on the upper bunk:
"Here...here are the luggage of the military family members. Please help..."
She stuttered as she spoke, and her dark-skinned face turned red.
The young man waved his hand at her: "Don't worry, I'll help watch over it."
Then he glanced at Ye Mu and said that the girl was a fool, but she didn't look stupid.
She is not a fool, but she doesn't look like a normal person, mainly because she is too silent and has no expression. She looks like... someone else.
Still like a fool.
The young man didn't know what words to use to describe it for a moment. He turned around and around and ran back to the fool.
The woman then dared to take Ye Mu away, but when she didn't see anyone outside the toilet, she immediately panicked.
At this time, the train had just started and there were people standing in the aisle. Even without tickets, the space was quite full.
Especially in non-sleeper cars.
Ye Mu: This is the first sleeper car, which is connected to the non-sleeper car.
Just when the woman was getting extremely panicked, she suddenly heard cries of crying from the carriage over there, and the woman immediately squeezed in with the others and went over there.
Ye Mu followed closely behind her. She didn't have the ability to squeeze out a path, but with her petite figure and agility, and with the woman in front leading the way, it was very easy for her to move around.
Before I even got close to the ticket carriage, I heard people screaming about money being stolen, medical expenses and so on.
Ye Mu followed the woman to the front and saw Ye Qianjun and several flight attendants being pulled by an old man. The old man was crying and had already knelt down to beg them.
"Anyway, it wasn't me. I didn't steal the money!!"
"Uncle, you always have to tell me where you put it. Did you hit anyone when you got on the bus?"
The scene was very chaotic.
Everyone kept a close eye on their belongings, fearing that they might be opened and inspected.
Ye Qianjun and the flight attendant had no choice but to comfort the old man first and then check them one by one.
What made them more anxious was that they were planning to keep an eye on those guys who were suspected to be human traffickers.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, someone had been sent there to take care of it in advance.
Ye Mu looked at the old man who was crying bitterly and lowered his eyes slightly.
A family.
The vast majority of coincidences in this world are intentional. From a probabilistic point of view, when multiple coincidental events occur together at the same time and revolve around a key point or key person, it is enough to prove that this is not a coincidence.
It was a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time.
Ye Mu thought of a crime that had never been completely curbed since the Imperial Era until the interstellar space - the crime of infringing on and trafficking the lives and safety of one's own people.
In the interstellar world, this is a crime with a very wide range of implications. The most abstract aspect can be determined as the illegal copying and trafficking of the consciousness data left behind by a deceased compatriot. The most specific aspect is the simplest and crudest illegal buying and selling of people and human bodies.
Given the backwardness and particularity of this era, using such a simple and crude method just happens to be in line with the characteristics of the times and development defects.
Infringement of the life safety of an adult is unforgivable, let alone harming young cubs of the same species.
Even if others say that she is obsessed with studying mechanical life, in Ye Mu's eyes, human cubs will always be the future of the interstellar era.
It is still applicable in this era.
She was about 70% sure of her judgment, so she looked at Ye Qianjun who was trying to find a way to search, and walked over.
Ye Qianjun was so busy that his forehead was covered in sweat. The carriage was extremely hot. Ye Mu also had many beads of sweat on his forehead, wetting his soft hair.
Ye Qianjun then realized that she was coming and was immediately shocked. It was too scary for her to come alone!
Although his sister is thin, she is still quite pretty. If someone targets her, the next stop will be here soon, and he may not be able to rescue her by then.
After all, he seemed to be the only soldier on the train, and there were not many police officers on board.
"Why are you here? Just follow me and don't run around, okay?" Ye Qianjun said hurriedly.
Ye Mu pointed at the old man: "We are a family."
After pursing her lips for a moment, she looked directly into Ye Qianjun's dark eyes: "The carriage, the man and the old man just now, they are a family."
Judging from the specific research of the Interstellar Genetics Appearance Department, this old man and that man are collateral relatives, not direct relatives, but their genetic characteristics are also quite obvious in Ye Mu's eyes.
Ye Qianjun was stunned at first, then his eyes widened. The old man looked confused and started crying again, but when Ye Mu said that just now, his hand that had been holding Ye Qianjun's clothes tightened a little.
Others may not notice this action, but Ye Qianjun will!
He didn't have time to think about how Ye Mu knew it, and immediately turned around to control the old man. However, the old man's movements were extremely skillful and he avoided Ye Qianjun's first control.
But the space inside the train was small, and he had no time to run away and was caught by Ye Qianjun again!
"Action!!" The conductor on the side was shocked, and Ye Qianjun said directly to the conductor.
As soon as the flight attendant saw the old man, he knew something was wrong! As soon as they arrived, before they even reached the problematic carriage that Ye Qianjun mentioned, they were stopped!
He immediately pushed through the crowd and ran towards the front carriage, which became even more chaotic.
Ye Qianjun didn't care about anything else and directly handcuffed the old man. This had been prepared early in the morning.
It was originally intended to be used to torture human traffickers.
Ye Qianjun handed the person over to the attendant, and then said to Ye Mu: "You go back to the sleeper car first. I'm going to check in the front."
The old man's behavior made him feel that this was not a simple human trafficking case, and there might be something else dangerous involved.
I can’t let Ye Mu take risks with me.
"Sister, please take my sister back." He saw the elder sister he had asked for help before. The woman glanced at Ye Mu and nodded.
Ye Qianjun felt relieved and turned to leave, and Ye Mu followed him.
He looked back at Ye Mu, pursed his lips for a moment, not knowing what to say, there was no time to waste:
"Then hurry up and don't fall behind!"
As he said this, he pulled Ye Mu's hand and walked forward. Everyone was shocked by this. They knew something was wrong. These were soldiers catching criminals!
The old man's appearance just now and his hideous look now, how can he look like an honest farmer?
Everyone quickly made way for them.
