Chapter 115 Xiaoyun’s Happy Holidays! (2) The most prosperous place on the border…
Aunt Lin initially thought it was some kind of ornament worn by young people, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Yun Fuyu's dressing style is very cute and soft.
The thing around his neck didn't match his clothing style and didn't feel comfortable to the touch.
What's more, if it was a decoration - why did Yun Fuyu always wear high-necked clothes?
Aunt Lin was worried and asked Lin Chaosheng secretly.
"Do you know what that thing Xiaoyun is wearing around her neck?
Lin Chaosheng was stunned.
"Around the neck? What?"
Aunt Lin became even more worried.
"It's just a black ring. I don't think it's right..."
Lin Chaosheng frowned and nodded.
"I'll go ask him."
Aunt Lin held him back.
"That child is very thoughtful and definitely doesn't want others to see it. Be more tactful when you ask. I'm always worried... is someone bullying him? You need to help Xiaoyun more at school and make sure he's not bullied."
Lin Chaosheng nodded in agreement.

Every day, Adrian would receive a report on Yun Fuyu's itinerary.
Today's trip report, with a video attached.
In the video, Yun Fuyu is dressed like a fluffy, pale yellow chick, running around happily on the black ice lake, rushing for a distance, and then sliding forward with a whoosh.
Adrian: “…”
The Fenrir family has many manors, some of which are located in areas with distinct four seasons, but more of them are located in cold places with snow all year round.
So, Adrian has been accustomed to snowing all year round since he was a child.
The scenery was very dull in winter. Although Adrian was not afraid of the cold, he felt bored as soon as he returned to the manor.
If you are bored, you have to find fun.
When Adrian was a child, he once made a dangerous move by punching a hole in the ice of a lake, then swimming headfirst through the frozen water. Wherever he swam, he would punch another hole, then surface to breathe...
Another option is skiing down a nearly vertical snow cliff.
Even this exciting activity quickly loses its novelty.
Yun Fuyu seemed to like it very much.
Sliding on ice isn't a particularly fun activity.
But if you watch Yun Fu Yu skating...something seems a little different.
Adrian lowered his eyes, staring at the figure who was enjoying it, and repeatedly pulled back the progress bar.
This is the first time I see Yun Fuyu so lively.
It’s just that if you don’t see it with your own eyes, there are some pity that are not easy to notice.
I don’t know if Yun Fuyu would like to swim in the ice lake. I can try it later.
There is also a video that was shot yesterday.
Yun Fuyu secretly ran to the mountain behind the sanatorium and, together with his friend, dug in the permafrost under the half-meter-deep snow, not knowing what they were looking for.
Both of them were wearing bright red jackets, looking like a rescue team searching for lost travelers.
oh.
According to Lancelot's explanation, they were trying to dig...precious wild medicinal herbs in the Yuanguta area?
?
Adrien frowned.
Who picked the clothes for Yun Fuyu?
It was actually Lancelot's suggestion.
Lancelot told Yun Fuyu that he could go out and play at any time, but there would be something like a portable recorder following him to ensure his safety.
Before exploring the snow, you should also change into more visible clothing.
Although Yun Fuyu is most likely the most powerful creature in this forest now, Lancelot can handle his official duties with peace of mind with a few more layers of insurance.

Half of the holiday passed quickly.
Yun Fuyu originally planned to spend half of her time in the sanatorium and half of her time at Zhou Bai's house.
But after seeing Lin Chaosheng's mother, Yun Fuyu couldn't help but want to spend more time with her.
In the end, Yun Fuyu stayed in the sanatorium for three weeks before leaving.
Yun Fuyu waved to Aunt Lin who was sitting on the hospital bed.
"Goodbye, Auntie!"
More than half a month passed, and his relationship with Aunt Lin became very good. He was no longer nervous when they were together, and they also made an appointment to visit her again during the holidays.
Aunt Lin smiled and waved to him.
"When I get better, come to my house and I'll make you something delicious."
Yun Fuyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and reluctantly followed Lin Chaosheng downstairs.
Lin Chaosheng had the scarf his mother knitted for Yun Fuyu draped over his shoulders, the gloves he knitted for Yun Fuyu in his pocket, and he was tidying up Yun Fuyu's coat.
Yun Fuyu obediently raised his head and let Lin Chaosheng help him zip up.
"I'm going to the starship soon. It's not cold."
Lin Chaosheng lowered his eyes and looked at him, continued to pull the corner of his clothes, and suddenly asked.
"Will it be uncomfortable to wear a restraining ring?"
Yun Fuyu blurted out: "It's not uncomfortable——"
Then Yun Fuyu finally reacted and stared at Lin Chaosheng.
After a while, Yun Fuyu spoke with a guilty conscience:
"How did you find out..."
Lin Chaosheng looked calm.
"My mom found out. She was worried someone might bully you, so she asked me to ask privately. I've never seen a restriction ring before, so after looking it up on Starnet, I guessed it was this thing."
According to the description, the restriction ring is made of a special material that will confine mental power within the mental domain.
But for the past three weeks, Lin Chaosheng has been with Yun Fuyu and has not noticed anything abnormal in Yun Fuyu's mental power.
Therefore, I tried it out before leaving.
Yun Fuyu said awkwardly: "Actually, it doesn't make any difference whether I wear it or not. Mine doesn't limit my mental power. It only has the function of positioning and monitoring vital signs. In a sense, it is good for health..."
Lin Chaosheng: "Can I take a look?"
Yun Fuyu nodded and pulled down his collar.
"It feels hard, but it won't strangle my neck, and it changes size with my breathing."
Lin Chaosheng reached out and touched it.
Yun Fuyu took a deep breath to let Lin Chaosheng feel the changes in the restriction ring.
"Look, it's real, so don't worry."
Lin Chaosheng said nothing, but sighed deeply.
Yun Fuyu asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
Lin Chaosheng raised his hand and rubbed Yun Fuyu's head.
"I want to tell you the details about the pollution disaster that happened in my hometown. That disaster was both natural and man-made."
"The Pollution Monitoring Bureau had already noticed something was amiss, but took no action. Several officials immediately suppressed the pollution warning and fled to safe areas. Only after they were far away did they issue a warning and notify the public to evacuate."
Although Yun Fuyu didn't understand why Lin Chaosheng suddenly brought it up, he was listening carefully.
"Why?"
"Because they were afraid of death. According to regulations, these officials should have stayed in the city to evacuate residents and only left after most residents moved to safe areas."
Yun Fuyu frowned, "Then why conceal the pollution warning?"
Even if you want to run, you can run with the residents.
What is the difference between deliberately concealing this matter and intentional murder?
"If they ran away first, they would lose their jobs. So they deceived their superiors and subordinates, trying to pretend that they arrived in other places first and received the pollution warning later. This way, they would naturally not have time to rush back to evacuate the people, and would not have to bear the risk of being harmed by the pollution."
Lin Chaosheng's tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Even after so many years, hatred still lingers unwillingly in the stagnant water like the dead souls in that city.
"The actual pollution level far exceeded our estimates. By the time the warning was issued, the pollution had already approached the city, and the residents who remained had no time to escape."
"The disaster wasn't originally so devastating, but the Pollution Prosecution Office failed to fulfill its responsibility to notify the nearby bases promptly, which slowed down the speed of reinforcements. By the time the army and priests arrived, the pollution had already destroyed half the city."
"After the facts were investigated, those officials were sentenced to the criminal class and their human rights were forever deprived."
Yun Fuyu twisted his sleeves, not knowing what to say.
The history of the past is too heavy, and the atmosphere of parting has also become heavy.
Lin Chaosheng lowered his tone.
"Before, when I was working part-time at the library, you asked me about the class of sinners. At that time, I hated sinners and felt that they all deserved their punishment."
Yun Fuyu certainly remembered it, and also remembered the disgust revealed in Lin Chaosheng's tone.
"But you explained it then."
Lin Chaosheng pushed his glasses.
He often makes this gesture, sometimes taking the opportunity to think, and sometimes it is an imperceptible nervousness.
"I'm sorry. I thought you might care about this, so I wanted to explain it again.
My perspective at the time was biased.
The laws of the Seven Towers have always had loopholes to varying degrees. Some criminals do deserve punishment, but no one can guarantee that everyone who bears the stigma of a sinner deserves it."
Lin Chaosheng spoke in a serious tone.
"That's what I want to tell you. I always think you're innocent."
The reason for clarifying this matter was that Lin Chaosheng was indeed worried that Yun Fuyu might have been frightened by his previous hatred for the criminal class, and that was why he did not dare to confess the matter of the restriction ring.
Yun Fuyu gently hugged Lin Chaosheng and whispered:
"Of course I believe you. No need to apologize, it's not your fault."
Lin Chaosheng had something else to say.
Over the years, Lin Chaosheng has long realized the irrationality of the Seven Towers system, but his attitude has changed again and again.
From the righteous indignation of youth to the despair and helplessness of adulthood.
But now Yun Fuyu has also become a victim of the rules.
Lin Chaosheng stood at the end of time and looked back at the child who had tried his best to find out the cause of his brother's death, but was powerless.
The unfortunate survivors always harbor the strongest hatred.
Fortunately, Lin Chao grew up.
This time, as long as he works hard enough, he might be able to enter the Seven Towers Council and participate in the revision and formulation of laws.
Lin Chaosheng wanted to give it a try anyway.
He wanted to change the unreasonable rules, change the criminal system, and let Yun Fuyu regain complete freedom.
Lin Chaosheng put a scarf around Yun Fuyu and handed her the gloves.
The two went out together.
When reaching the edge of the barrier, Yun Fuyu looked back.
Aunt Lin stood in front of the window and looked for an unknown amount of time. When she noticed that Yun Fuyu was also looking at her, she smiled and waved again.
During this period, Yun Fuyu quietly performed purification for Lin Chaosheng's parents.
During the previous treatment phase, a priest had purified the two and removed most of the contamination.
But perhaps because the pastor was a little careless, some subtle contamination still remained in the bodies of the two.
Yun Fuyu was responsible for the finishing work and was specifically responsible for purifying this part.
After a while, Aunt Lin will slowly recover.
But Lin Chaosheng's father...
Perhaps it was too late, his life was gradually fading away.
Clouds and rain can solve pollution, but they are helpless in the face of the irreversible loss of life.
Yun Fuyu looked back every few steps, waving his hands as he looked back, and slowly moved towards the starship.
Lin Chaosheng smiled and said, "See you at the beginning of the school year."
School will start in a dozen days and I can see my friends again.
Thinking of this, Yun Fuyu felt a little relieved.
After entering the inner courtyard, Yun Fuyu can apply to leave the school at any time, and there will be many opportunities to visit here.
Of course, it would be even better if Aunt Lin could recover and return home sooner.
Yun Fuyu waved again: "See you at the start of school."
*
After saying goodbye to Lin Chaosheng, Yun Fuyu boarded the starship and headed to the area where Zhou Bai's hometown was located.
Zhou Baijia lives in a small town in a forest area, which is the most prosperous town in the nearby border area.
But it’s not that big, and the residents pretty much all know each other.
Therefore, the starship will not go directly to the small town, but will stop at the nearest border town.
This time, Lancelot and Cui Jue accompanied Yun Fu Yu. They covered their faces tightly with masks and hats and headed to their destination in a less conspicuous way.
The three of them first took a flying vehicle to the transportation hub, and then changed to an ancient transportation bus. They wandered around on the roads in the mountains and forests, passing by countless small settlements, just to get to this remote forest town.
Cui Jue's expression was dull.
"I can run there faster than take this thing. What year is this car from? Why isn't there a direct air route?"
Lancelot: "There are routes, but they're generally only used by local officials. The economy here is underdeveloped, the towns are spread out, and the population of each town is small. If a transportation company set up too many aircraft routes here, it would inevitably lose money."
Cui Jue tried to object: "You are a high-ranking official in the Fenrir family. Why can't we go there by aircraft?"
Lancelot: "Xiaoyun doesn't want to be too conspicuous."
The town is sparsely populated, so starships and aircraft will definitely be noticed.
Yun Fuyu nodded and said to Cui Jue:
"If you want to run down, you can. I won't stop you."
At that time, Yun Fuyu and Lancelot will be able to appreciate the new human-shaped pendants added to the bus.
Cui Jue: “…”
Half a day later, the three arrived at the town.
It was snowing here too, but not long ago it was still autumn, and the golden-brown leaves in the forest had not yet fallen, leaving a thin layer of cool white.
