Chapter 46.46 "Oh! Living ancients!"
"Finish today's work today," Yu Yu said, encouraged by her uncle. She turned on her personal terminal and started a video call with Ya Ya.
Yan Xingli deliberately sat far away, so he didn't appear in the frame when the two children were chatting.
"Fish, fish."
The video call was connected.
The sound of flowing water came from the screen. A child named Ya Ya, wearing goggles and gloves, was squatting in the lush grass, holding a gray long-eared rabbit in her arms. Judging from the background, it seemed to be in the mountains and forests.
Yan Xingli glanced down at the time; it was nine o'clock at night, but the sun was shining brightly on Cang'ai Planet.
The two planets are at least ten hours apart.
"Yaya."
"Fish, why did it take you so long to meet me?"
Ya Ya plopped down on the ground, released the little rabbit, and pouted, demanding, "You don't miss me at all, do you?"
Qi Youyu rubbed her hands together like flies: "I'm sorry, Ya Ya, I'm busy making money to buy a house for my uncle, so I don't have time to meet you."
Ya Ya stared blankly: "Buy a mountain? Doesn't your uncle even own a single mountain?"
Feeling offended, Yan Xingli: ...
Do people on your planet Cang'ai have mountains on average? Do you buy mountains as houses?
Qi Youyu shook her head, her pigtails swinging back and forth: "My uncle doesn't have a mountain."
Ya Ya, who was initially sulking, instantly became affectionate: "Okay, you've worked hard. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yu Yu remembered the important matter, so she briefly explained what had happened and asked Ya Ya for her opinion.
Ya Ya: "No problem, I have other nutritional supplements too, do you want them?"
The two children have been playing together since they were a month old, and have been friends for more than three years. Ya Ya is naturally very willing to help Yu Yu from far away Earth.
Qi Youyu waved her hand: "No need, no need."
She felt that her grandfather, who was trying to cure her illness, was a little scarier than her grandfather, who liked to research and invent things. She didn't want to write.
The two children, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, started chatting away. Yu Yu happily swung her little legs and pointed the camera at Yan Xingli:
"Ya Ya, this is my ancestor~"
"Doesn't it look just like me?"
Yan Xingli forced a smile: "..."
Ya Ya took off her goggles, revealing her big, watery eyes: "Oh! A living ancient person!"
"Hello, hello, my ancestor Ya Ya, my good friend Ya Ya."
Yan Xingli chuckled dryly: "Hello, Ya Ya."
Upon hearing that Yan Xingli could speak, Ya Ya jumped up excitedly: "A living, talking ancient person!"
This child is just as mischievous as Yu Yu.
Ya Ya's round face came closer and magnified: "Yu Yu, can you go and see my ancestor?"
What was your ancestor's name?
“This is a reconstruction of our ancestor’s appearance.” Ya Ya tapped in the air and a photo popped up. “My parents said that our ancestor is in your timeline. Her name is Zheng Yue.”
The woman in the photo is around thirty years old, with long, flowing hair, a gentle and beautiful face, and a faint smile on her lips.
Although she doesn't have an outstandingly stunning appearance, she gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Qi Youyu exclaimed, "Oh, what a beautiful woman!"
Ya Ya proudly raised her chin: "My ancestor will become a very skilled doctor in the future, but her health is not very good... Yu Yu, I hope you can help her."
Ya Ya sent me a recipe.
There are nine billion people on Earth. If we were to check them one by one, it would take forever. Fortunately, Yu Yu has her best assistant, Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua can connect to intranets in countries around the world, making finding someone a piece of cake.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yu called Xiao Hua in and had her scan the photo to start searching.
Taking advantage of the break, Yan Xingli asked about the time difference between the two sides.
“There’s no time difference,” Yu Yu said. “That’s Ya Ya’s mountain. They installed a protective shield on the mountain, and the shield can be adjusted to be for day and night.”
"...Can I understand that her family has an artificial sun and moon?"
"Uh-huh!"
Yan Xingli fell silent; he couldn't use his existing knowledge to imagine or understand the principles behind artificial suns and moons.
“We have them on the mountain near my home.” Qi Youyu patted him and coaxed him like a child, “Uncle, come home with me, I’ll pick the stars for you to play with.”
Yan Xingli did not respond.
Because he felt that this child could truly pluck the stars from the sky and give them to him.
*
The next day, the first thing the show aired was Yan Xingli's furious outburst in the bathroom.
"Ele.me!"
"I've told you so many times, you can't drink toilet water!"
"Aren't three water dispensers in the living room enough for you? Huh?"
Yan Xingli grabbed Eleme's little paw and gave her a lecture. He had clearly closed the bathroom door, so how did Eleme get in?
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a leisurely figure.
Yan Xingli immediately understood. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young lady, did you do this? You opened the door for Ele.me again!"
Qianjin shook her head, too lazy to pay attention, and lazily crawled into the cat bed to lick her fur and take a nap.
Yan Xingli was so angry he wanted to bite his teeth. He let go of the silly and cute Eleme (a food delivery app), and just as he was about to rub his nose, a pungent smell of pickled cabbage almost made him faint.
What's that smell?!
He grabbed Ele.me's dog paw again, brought it close to his nose, and immediately rolled his eyes.
"Your feet smell awful."
How smelly is it? Let me smell it!
Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!
Yan Xingli picked up the dog and took it to the bathroom, intending to give Eleme a good bath, but the stubborn fat dog refused to comply.
Yan Xingli retorted angrily, "Do you know that it's because you don't wash your feet that global air quality has declined?"
This huge pot lid is absolutely outrageous.
【That's terrible! A puppy not washing its paws is tantamount to murdering all of humanity!】
Eleme: oo
Qi Youyu, who was passing by to watch the commotion, said: "Uncle, you have to speak dog language for me to understand."
Yan Xingli thought for a moment, "What's the dog's language for taking a bath again?"
Fish: "Woof woof woof awoof~"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Yan Xingli squinted at Ele.me: "Did you hear that? Yu Yu is telling you to take a bath, or I'll give you a sterilization package."
Fish: "Woof woof woof woof~"
Eleme's adorable dog face undergoes a dramatic transformation: !!
It ran a couple of times on its four legs, then jumped into the bathtub with a plop. Its attitude changed completely, and it wagged its tail wildly at Yan Xingli.
[No, it understood?]
My bared teeth slowly receded. Wait, you two, uncle and nephew, really know how to talk like dogs! My dog carried the towel to the bathroom by itself…
[Holy crap, open a dog language class right now!! My rebellious son desperately needs one!]
*
It's the weekend, and Bros. is unusually off work, so he's taking his daughter, Xiaofu, out for a day of fun and to see a movie.
The father and daughter cherished their precious time together. They strolled along the street, and Bros would buy anything that Xiao Fu glanced at.
As the father and daughter emerged from a dessert shop, the bustling Central Avenue suddenly stirred with activity. Passersby turned to look in one direction, and someone exclaimed as they pointed to a large building.
"Oh no! Look, someone's about to jump off a building!"
"That looks like a young girl. Oh dear, how could someone so young do something like this? We should call the police immediately."
The father and daughter, Bros, also stopped to watch. Little Fu, surprised and worried, gripped Bros' hand and asked:
"Dad, is that girl going to jump?"
Bros didn't want his daughter to witness such a bloody scene, so he responded calmly and gently: "No, honey, she probably just wanted to get some fresh air on the roof."
"Honey, the movie's about to start, we need to hurry."
Xiao Fu took out a pair of binoculars from her handbag. Although they were just children's binoculars, they were enough for her to see the situation on the high-rise buildings.
The girl standing on the edge of the building looked ashen-faced. Her slender and thin body was like a leaf, which could fall from the height with a gust of wind.
The girl watched the crowd gradually gathering below and stepped towards the edge.
As she made her dangerous move, screams erupted from the crowd, and many people shouted to the girl not to do anything foolish.
Xiao Fu was affected by the atmosphere and worried about the safety of the girl on the roof: "Dad, let's call the police quickly and help the girl."
Bros: "Okay, Dad will call the police. Don't worry, let's wait over there."
In fact, many concerned citizens have already dialed 110 and 120, and the police and ambulances are on their way.
The girl on the rooftop ignored the shouts and pleas from below. Her reason had been overwhelmed by despair. She was trapped in the mire, seeing no hope for the future, and had completely lost the will to live.
Amidst screams, the girl moved her foot again, this time with half of her foot dangling in the air above the danger zone.
The biting wind enveloped her, and the girl opened her arms and slowly closed her eyes.
not good--
Bros' heart skipped a beat. He quickly knelt down, covered his daughter's eyes, and hugged the child tightly in his arms.
However, the usually obedient daughter broke free from Bros's arms.
Xiao Fu's icy blue pupils reflected the girl plummeting rapidly from the rooftop. The thought of saving her filled her mind, and her voice was urgent:
"Queen's Cloak, please switch to flight mode!"
Bros didn't understand what his daughter was doing. He instinctively tried to grab her hand, but not only did he miss, the child flew up into the air.
Bros watched in disbelief as his daughter suddenly took to the air, flying farther and higher. He was so shocked that his whole body stiffened and his brain stopped functioning.
The cold wind stopped, the expected intense pain did not occur, and the terrifying feeling of weightlessness also disappeared.
Feeling as if she was being gently embraced by a pair of warm little hands, the girl couldn't help but open her eyes, only to find a blond, blue-eyed foreign child in her arms.
The child looked like a large doll, dressed in a red Lolita dress, her skirt and hair remaining perfectly still as she slowly fell.
The girl was stunned. She... she had been saved?
"You...are you a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Fu trembled as she flew 20 or 30 meters in the air for the first time. She hugged the stranger tightly around the waist and said tearfully:
"Sister, I am a human being."
"Then, how can you fly?"
The girl's mind went blank, and she asked blankly, "Are you a witch from the West? Is Harry Potter your classmate?"
Xiao Fu's Chinese listening comprehension is not very good, especially since she is in a state of high tension, and the information she receives is all jumbled mess.
"Sister, don't die, I'll treat you to candy."
Upon hearing this, the girl who was contemplating suicide felt as if her heart had been clenched, her nose stung, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Even though Xiao Fu was brave, she was still just a child. Even though she believed that the Queen's cloak was safe and reliable, she still couldn't help but tremble.
The elderly father, Bros, finally came to his senses and shouted anxiously:
"Baby! Baby, are you alright?"
"Is there anyone who can save my daughter?!"
Bross spoke a mix of English and French, but fortunately, there were English and French majors among the onlookers who understood his cries for help.
"Sir, is that your daughter who flew into the sky?" College student number one exclaimed in shock and envy. "I already called the police... May I ask how she managed to fly into the sky?"
College Student Number Two, seeing Bros's extraordinary demeanor and capable appearance, suddenly had a wild idea:
"Sir, are you a Western wizard? Like our native Taoist priests who can fly on swords?"
The two were speaking a language that Bros could understand, but Bros was completely bewildered. What was flying on a sword?
God, he's not a wizard!
The moment Xiao Fu flew into the sky was recorded by everyone present. Some posted it on WeChat Moments, some uploaded it to video platforms, and some went live. In an instant, Xiao Fu and the girl who wanted to commit suicide became the focus of online discussion.
[My goodness, is this really not an AI video? If it weren't for the clear blue sky today, I would have suspected it was a fellow cultivator undergoing tribulation!]
I watched it several times, but I still couldn't figure out how the little girl flew; she didn't have wings.
【Aaaaaah, is the end of the world coming? I hope I'm not the only one running on the ground while you're all flying in the sky!】
Police, firefighters, and medical personnel were all on site.
Xiao Fu landed safely with the girl on the cushioning mat, and the medical staff all crowded around to check on them.
"baby!"
Bros's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was swallowed back down as his daughter landed safely.
He pushed through the crowd to Xiao Fu's side and carefully examined his daughter: "Baby, are you hurt?"
Xiao Fu: "Daddy, I'm fine."
Bros breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness his daughter was alright.
The little girl wiped her eyes, her voice rising with joy: "I saved someone."
Bros frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: "Baby, why can you fly? What's going on?"
Xiao Fu turned her back to him and smiled, "The Queen's Cloak will carry me flying!"
Bros was taken aback, thinking he had misheard: "What?"
"Daddy, my good friend Yu Yu gave me a queen's cape that can carry me flying!" Little Fu grabbed Bros's hand and asked excitedly, "Daddy, do you want to try it?"
The father and daughter were speaking French, which most of the bystanders couldn't understand, except for the French major college student who blinked.
He leaned closer and took out his phone: "Little friend, is this the same little friend you're talking about, Fishy?"
Xiao Fu: "Yes, yes, are you also a fan of Yu Yu?"
"!!!"
The college students were overjoyed: "Ah, so Yu Yu has invented a new type of flying machine!"
His shout startled everyone.
Seeing that things were going badly, Bros quickly picked up his daughter and ran away before the others could react.
The rescued girl watched the father and daughter leave, hesitant to speak, she hadn't yet said thank you...
Fortunately, the girl and Xiao Fu were both unharmed. Just then, several imposing police officers and a team of plainclothes officers walked up to her.
The girl panicked when she saw the police officer rescuing her; she felt she had wasted police resources.
Before the police officers could speak, she quickly admitted her mistake and promised to live a good life from now on and never try to kill herself again.
Police officer: "...It's good that you have this awareness. You're a young girl with so much time left to enjoy. It would be such a pity if you died. Life is precious. Don't do anything foolish again."
The rescued girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
She had already died once by jumping off a building. Now that she thinks about it, it was just a breakup and being scammed out of money. Breaking up with that scumbag was a good thing. She could earn money again, but she only had one life.
There's no need to punish yourself for other people's mistakes.
"Little girl, do you know the girl who just gave you a ride?"
"What does it feel like to fly in the air? Do you feel weightless? Is the wind speed fast?" A middle-aged man in plain clothes stepped forward and asked.
The rescued girl: ...
Police officer: "Let's go back to the station and make a statement first."
The viral sensation of Xiao Fu's flying rescue video is no less than that of Yu Yu's memory bread treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
Teacher Zhao's daughter, Xiao Zhao, also came across the video and excitedly shared it with Teacher Zhao.
[Dad, Dad, do you think there are really people in our country who cultivate immortality? This kid can actually fly!]
[Dad, can you tell if this video is photoshopped?]
Oh dear, please don't think this is really about cultivating immortality! All those foreign kids know how to do it, and I don't know anything at all. This is so unfair QAQ.
Taking a break from his busy schedule, Teacher Zhao glanced at his phone. With the rapid advancement of technology, many AI videos are incredibly realistic, so he didn't think much of this particular video.
until--
"Little Zhao!"
"Anti-gravity aircraft have appeared!"
A phone call from Academician Zhou Nanfeng broke the silence of the laboratory.
