Chapter 171
"An entire planet?"
Li Sinian was stunned. He looked at Su Ci, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Unfortunately, the Su keeper still kept smiling and did not correct him.
So, he had not heard it wrong.
But how could this be possible?
Although he did not know how big the Hell Planet was, Li Sinian had a certain understanding of the danger of this planet, not to mention that the situation on the Hell Planet had worsened.
He had experienced the power of the red mist today. It was difficult to solve the impact of the red mist on the 24th base, not to mention farming on this planet...
Li Sinian and Yan Ya looked at each other. After a stalemate, he finally spoke with difficulty: "What do you mean by a whole planet?"
"Literally." Su Ci picked up a potato chip and slowly put it into his mouth.
Listening to the crackling sound, Li Sinian felt his scalp tingling, "Do you mean to transform this planet into an agricultural planet?"
Fortunately, Su Ci shook his head.
"Just plant it full of green plants." He said.
Li Sinian breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a heavy stone in his heart, because he knew that with the current situation of Hell Star, this condition was not much more relaxed.
Does Rong Heng have to stay in Hell Star to grow crops for the rest of his life?
"Keeper Su, this condition... is it too..." Li Sinian hesitated. "
Rong Heng and Fu Qiu have always believed in the principle of equal exchange." Su Ci looked at Li Sinian and said softly, "Do you think this condition is not worth it?"
Li Sinian was speechless for a moment.
Equal exchange... isn't it his principle? He didn't expect that Rong Heng and the others still remembered it...
Isn't it worth it
? His son's life, isn't it worth it?
No, a child's life is priceless!
Isn't it just planting a whole planet full of green plants? It's not just Rong Heng who is allowed to help. He and Yan Ya can also help. Even if they have to spend all their family property, they will help!
"It's worth it!" Li Sinian said, "Please save Rong Heng's life."
Even if he didn't say it, Su Ci would do it. After all, he had just said that this was a deal between him and Rong Heng, and it had nothing to do with the Li couple.
Of course, if they volunteered to help, it would be none of his business.
"Next..."
Li Sinian gritted his teeth and finally said in a firm tone, "The two of us will stay on the Hell Star. Please bear with me."
With Li Sinian's strength and conditions, it would be absolutely no problem for him to work on the Hell Star.
If he didn't stay, even if His Majesty the Emperor was willing to lend him the warship, it would take two months for each round trip.
Li Sinian also knew that the warship belonged to the empire, and that he had already borrowed it for private use. If he was determined to stay, the soldiers on the warship would immediately set off for home.
If they had to take an ordinary airship in the future, a round trip would take more than half a year or even longer.
If so, when would it take to complete this deal? As for running away with his son and daughter? Li Sinian had never thought about it.
Since he had agreed to this condition, he must fulfill it, even if his son's blood conflict problem was resolved in the future.
Su Ci looked at the determined eyes of Li Sinian and his wife, and his mouth curled up slightly. He said, "Okay, there are rooms on the seventh floor of the nursery. You can choose two rooms to stay in."
"We are husband and wife, so we should just stay in one room."
"Well, whatever you like."
After asking this question, Li Sinian and his wife did not leave immediately.
Yan Ya looked at the young man in front of her with an excellent appearance, recalled the trust her daughter and son had in him, clasped her hands together, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Keeper Su, I... I have one more thing..."
On the fourth floor, the room of the lion brother and sister.
Rong Heng was peeling fruit for his sister. The bright red star chain fruit, after peeling off the skin, revealed the crystal clear flesh, and the sweet fragrance filled the whole room.
Little Lihua, on the other hand, took a spoon and scooped the rice sweet potatoes from the bowl. While eating, she told her brother where Su Ci took her today, what he took her to do, and what fun things happened.
Seeing the little girl's face flushed with excitement, Rong Heng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.
However, the next sentence of Little Lihua made him stop.
"Brother, have you seen Sister Weiwei..." Little Lihua recalled the word and said, "Mrs. and Mr.?"
Rong Heng stopped and looked up at her.
When talking about those two people, there was not much negative emotion in Little Lihua's eyes, but more curiosity and the look of wanting to find someone to talk to.
"They said they are mom and dad." Xiao Lihua paused and continued, "Our mom and dad."
"Brother, do you know... what mom and dad are?"
Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, Rong Heng pursed his lips, and finally nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Lihua couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Her brother actually knew!
"They are the ones who gave birth to us." Rong Heng explained. He also knew that his sister didn't have this concept.
Because she grew up in a nursery, and the cubs she came into contact with were all orphans. In her life, there was no role of parents.
"The one who gave birth to us?" Xiao Lihua tilted her head, with obvious doubts in her eyes.
Rong Heng thought for a while and gave her an analogy, "Do you see these seeds?"
He broke the star chain fruit in half, pointed to the seeds in the fruit and said, "We are the seeds in this fruit. If we plant it in the ground with sunlight and water, we will grow into saplings."
"And the star chain fruit that bears these fruits is... those two people."
Little Lihua didn't notice her brother's strangeness. She was already shocked by this theory. Her mouth opened wide. So this is how she and her brother came about!
She had never thought about how she and her brother came about before.
Because it has been like this since she can remember!
Seeing that she was only concerned with asking and didn't continue eating, Rong Heng picked up the bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
"Do Langze also have a father and a mother?"
Little Lihua ate the rice sweet potato her brother fed her, and asked while eating, her round eyes full of desire for new knowledge.
"Well, everyone has a father and a mother."
Although Rong Heng didn't really want to continue this topic, he still patiently explained to her after his sister asked.
"Then why haven't I seen them?" Little Lihua asked puzzledly.
Rong Heng pursed his lips, and the hand holding the small spoon also tightened, but in the end, he still chose to tell his sister this cruel fact.
"Because, they abandoned us." Rong Heng whispered, "The cubs in the nursery were either abandoned by their parents or their parents died."
Since those two people didn't die, they were abandoned.
After hearing her brother's words, Xiao Lihua thought back to the two adults she met in the afternoon. Why did she feel that they didn't look alike? But what her brother said must be right!
Moreover, she didn't feel very sad because of her brother's words. After all, other cubs, including her and her brother, have lived well without their parents all these years.
Now that Su Su is here, it's getting better and better! Not only are there delicious food every day, but there are also beautiful flowers to see!
Xiao Lihua feels super happy now, and she is very happy every day. Naturally, she won't feel sad because she was abandoned by strangers.
"Then why did they abandon us?" Xiao Lihua asked curiously.
How could Rong Heng know the answer to this question?
He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it has nothing to do with us. We don't need to care."
Looking at her brother's indifferent expression, Xiao Lihua felt that her brother didn't seem to care as much as he said, but of course she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Her intuition told her that it was better to eat obediently now.
However, when she finished eating the rice sweet potato and continued to eat the fruit, the gentle and calm voice of the young man rang in their ears.
"Xiangyang, Xiao Lihua, come to room 303 after dinner."
The two siblings were used to hearing Su Ci's voice suddenly in their ears, but this was the first time that Su Su asked them to go to his room so late.
"Brother, what do you think Su Su wants to talk to us about?" Xiao Lihua tilted her head.
Rong Heng had already made some guesses in his mind, and it was inevitable that he would have some resistance, but then he thought, this is also good, he should make things clear in front of Su Su and ask them not to show up again.
In the future, he won't have to worry about this matter anymore.
"You continue to eat the fruit, I'll wait for you." Rong Heng said.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Xiao Lihua also knew that he was in a bad mood, so she closed her mouth obediently and continued to chew the sweet star chain fruit.
After she finished eating the fruit pulp, Rong Heng took her hand and led her out of the room.
Room 303.
Yan Ya and Li Sinian sat on the sofa and waited anxiously, looking at the door from time to time. As for Su Ci, he had already sat at the dining table and enjoyed dinner with A Yan.
Finally, during the couple's agonizing wait, the tightly closed metal door opened, and the lion brother and sister appeared outside the door.
Rong Heng was not surprised to see the man and woman who suddenly stood up and walked over here.
He held his sister's hand and continued to walk towards Su Ci.
Xiao Lihua looked at Li Sinian and Yan Ya. When Yan Ya smiled at her, she smiled back at her, and then was pulled by her brother to quicken her pace.
"Su Su, we are here." Rong Heng said.
Su Ci nodded and asked A Yan to pour nectar water for the two children. Then he looked at Li Sinian and his wife and said, "You already know their identities, right?"
"Yes." Rong Heng nodded reluctantly.
"Then go and talk to them." Su Ci said softly.
Rong Heng's hands hanging by his side could not help but clench into fists. He said bluntly, "Su Su, my sister and I don't want to leave the nursery. They are just two strangers to us!"
Li Sinian and Yan Ya were both shocked and their bodies couldn't help shaking.
At this time, Su Ci raised his hand and gently pressed it on the boy's head. As the imperceptible golden light lit up, the slightly resentful look on Rong Heng's face gradually calmed down.
He looked at Su Ci, a little dazed.
"Are you sober now?" Su Ci asked, retracting his hand.
Rong Heng nodded.
"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the Red Mist unless you are accompanied by me or Ran Lie." Su Ci instructed.
Although Li Sinian's relatives comforted him in the afternoon, Rong Heng's situation was special, and the outbreak caused by the invasion of the Red Mist was different from ordinary blood frenzy.
So he only calmed down temporarily, and the resentment that invaded his body was not completely eliminated, but lurked, subtly affecting Rong Heng's character.
If Su Ci hadn't helped him purify it, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to end it in the end.
Rong Heng is a smart child, and after Su Ci's reminder, he quickly realized this.
"Okay, I got it."
His voice also returned to calm, and he didn't seem to resist Li Sinian and Yan Ya anymore.
Rong Heng looked at the man and woman, and the scene in his memory reappeared. Xiao Lihua had no impression of them at all, and naturally had no feelings for them, but Rong Heng was different.
A child who was only three years old, still a cub himself, had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister.
Only Rong Heng knew the suffering he had endured over the years.
And after knowing the concept of "parents", whenever suffering came, he couldn't help but think, if his father and mother were with them, would he not have to suffer so much?
But they are no longer here, they have left this world forever, so he and his sister are in the nursery.
In this case, he would accept it.
But today they appeared again.
How could Rong Heng not have resentment in his heart? But after Su Su touched his head just now, Rong Heng felt much better and his thoughts became clearer. After
leaving the mother tree, the Star Chain Fruit relied on its own efforts to find life and grow up.
The joys and sorrows after that had nothing to do with the mother tree, so...what did he have to complain about his parents?
Whether they showed up or not, he and his sister would grow up well, just like the Star Chain Fruit seedlings in the green field, growing vigorously.
Because of this, he really became calm.
The four of them sat on the sofa and communicated so closely for the first time.
But when it really came to this point, they didn't know where to start. For a while, the atmosphere seemed a little silent and stalemate.
Finally, it was Xiao Lihua who spoke first and broke the silence.
She looked at the two adults opposite and felt that they were quite good-looking. She didn't have any negative emotions about this matter, so she didn't find them annoying anymore.
So, with pure curiosity, she asked directly: "So why do you want to abandon me and my brother?"
When Xiao Lihua said this, Li Sinian and Yan Ya, who were originally thinking about how to improve their relationship, were shocked and said: "Abandon? Baby, why do you think so?"
Xiao Lihua glanced at her brother, and then said strangely: "Isn't it?"
Rong Heng was also stunned.
"Of course not!" Li Sinian and Yan Ya denied it in unison.
Yan Ya even stood up from the sofa, came to the two children and squatted down, holding their hands respectively, holding them together excitedly, her eyes were already red.
"You are your parents' treasures, how could your parents bear to abandon you?"
Yan Ya said with tears in her eyes, "It was the bad guys who took you away. These years, your parents have been looking for you, but the universe is too big, and..."
Thinking of the two children being sent to do human body cryogenic experiments, Yan Ya wanted to kill the crazy scientists who took away her children!
Unfortunately, it has been so many years since the incident, and the culprits have been dealt with, and they have no way to take revenge personally.
Now they can only do their best to compensate the two children.
"Please believe that mom and dad have never abandoned you. In the past ten years, mom and dad have missed you day and night. You don't know how happy mom and dad are to see you again!"
Rong Heng felt the woman's warm and soft palm, and after a slight shock, he quickly pulled his hand back.
But this time, it was obviously not because of resistance, but...
The boy's ears were slightly red, he rubbed back and moved away from Yan Ya.
Yan Ya looked at him, as if she saw her son when he was a child. Her Yangyang was particularly shy. He would blush for a long time after kissing him, but he had to put on a stern face and pretend to be serious and calm.
She had tears in her eyes, but a smile appeared on her face.
Li Sinian also chimed in, "Yes, Mom and Dad have never thought of giving up on you, especially Mom. She has been traveling around the stars to find you, and she has even ruined her health."
Hearing this, Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua couldn't help but look at Yan Ya, looking at her nervously.
"Mom is fine now."
Yan Ya glanced at Li Sinian with a reproachful look, then patted the two children's hands soothingly, "I awakened the bloodline of the red-tailed lion not long ago, and I'm in good health now."
Xiao Lihua couldn't help but widen her eyes, "You're so old, can you still awaken your bloodline?"
"Yes, I'm an exception."
Yan Ya touched her daughter's chubby little face, and seeing that she didn't hide, she couldn't help but hug her in her arms. Feeling her thin body, she couldn't help choking up and said, "Mom is late and made you suffer. I'm sorry..."
Xiao Lihua looked back at her brother and saw that his face was obviously not so bad, but just a little awkward, so she smiled, tilted her head to look at Yan Ya, and wiped her tears with her fingers.
"It's not your fault... You didn't want to do it."
Her soft baby voice, not so fluent yet, sounded like heavenly music to Yan Ya's ears, and she couldn't help but hug her lost and found daughter tightly, crying with joy.
