Chapter 2
Yun Piancheng exhaled a breath, put Ji Huai on his right shoulder, covered the broken ribs with his left hand, held the cabin wall with his right hand, and stood up with the fresh energy.
When he arrived at the place where medical equipment was collected, Yun Piancheng put aside the quick-healing and nutrient injections that had just been used, and took out the backpack at the bottom.
The backpack contained two sets of uniforms, five nutritional injections, two quick-healing injections, and some wilderness survival supplies, such as a knife, rope, and lighter.
Ji Huai was taken down from Yun Piancheng's shoulders and carefully placed aside.
She took out her casual clothes and quickly changed into them. After a pause, she untied her half-long hair tied behind her head and casually flicked it twice to loosen it.
Putting on his backpack, Ji Huai jumped back onto her shoulders, staring at her with his big round eyes, trying to understand and learn her behavior.
Yun Piancheng picked up the marshal uniform he had just changed out of, walked out of the safety cabin, stopped and looked around.
This is a forest with no visible boundaries. The landing of the safety capsule created a clearing in the forest, and the broken trees were ignited by the heat energy generated by the safety capsule hitting the ground.
Yun Piancheng threw his uniform into the ashes of burnt branches and added fuel to the fire with an expressionless face.
There was a red glow in Ji Huai's black eyes. Yun Piancheng's desire for destruction was silently affecting him, but Yun Piancheng was unaware of it.
Because the bad emotions had not yet fully formed, they had already been eaten up by Ji Huai.
The ball on his shoulder felt a little hot. Yun Piancheng took a moment to take a look and found that Ji Huai had changed from a white ball of fluff to a pink ball of fluff.
She followed Ji Huai's gaze towards the fire, suddenly realized something, and covered Ji Huai's eyes with her hands.
She said, "Little Ji Huai, don't learn this."
The warm and almost burning touch burned Yun Piancheng's palm, making her feel soft in her heart and a little nervous for no reason.
Fortunately, after a while, the pink Ji Huai turned back into white Ji Huai, and the temperature returned to normal. Yun Piancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This reminded her of the stray cats she used to feed at the training grounds when she was a child.
The kitten has a bad temper, is greedy and very curious.
But it was soft and warm, just like Ji Huai.
It’s a pity that she and her parents are too busy and have no time to take care of and adopt the child.
I don’t know what happened to the cat. It must have died of old age.
There were still bleeding teeth marks on Yun Piancheng's hand from Ji Huai's bite. Because the wound was too small, it could not even be detected by the medicine in the quick-healing needle. The lack of pain and itching became the mark left on her by Ji Huai.
She is no longer a wild marshal without a "cat".
It was strange, why would she think like that? It was so different from her usual way of thinking.
After carefully recalling what happened after the forced landing, Yun Piancheng quickly pinpointed the abnormality to Ji Huai.
It seemed that after meeting Ji Huai, a mysterious force was drawing away the negative energy that she was constantly generating, making her feel relaxed.
Yun Piancheng took Ji Huai off and squeezed him flat.
Ji Huai slowly rebounded:?
“Chiu!”
"You're eating my negative emotions," Yun Pian said, content to be bitten. His cold voice was full of certainty, and compared to the past, his tone was much more relaxed. "Thank you."
Ji Huai blinked his eyes: "Chirp."
You are not stupid.
Ji Huai broke free from Yun Piancheng's hand, jumped into her coat pocket, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He ate too much and needs to digest it.
The fire on the ground gradually went out. Yun Piancheng made sure that there was no piece of cloth left. Then he picked up a broken branch, mixed the ashes of slightly different colors together, and piled them into the shape formed by natural combustion.
She dropped the branch back into the fallen tree and listened intently, breath held.
The gentle wind swept through Yun Piancheng's half-long hair, and rolled up the dust on the ground, bringing news of water.
In the East.
Find a water source and follow it, and there's a high chance you'll find a town.
Yun Piancheng's steps were steady, and Ji Huai was sleeping soundly in the warm pocket.
*
That night.
The moonlight fell on the stone, and the marshal in casual clothes lay on his side, curled up.
Ji Huai, who had already digested and absorbed all the negative energy during the day, crawled out of his pocket to bask in the moonlight.
But soon, a strong sense of negativity floated in the air again. Ji Huai followed the smell and shifted his attention to its source - Yun Piancheng.
Yun Piancheng was seen frowning and breathing faster, as if he was having a nightmare.
Gulp.
Ji Huai, who had no salivary glands at all, swallowed the non-existent saliva, opened his mouth wide and inhaled it without hesitation.
The negative emotions that continuously flowed into his body made Ji Huai feel comfortable all over.
Boo.
It seems that some limit has been broken.
Then, under the moonlight, a small ball grew like a willow sprout, forming a hard skeleton, which was then wrapped in flesh and blood, and the outermost layer was snow-white skin.
A large cloud floated over, blocking the moonlight. A young man who looked like Yun Piancheng, with black hair and black eyes, was naked. He stood quietly in the woods where only the sound of the wind could be heard. He looked like an elf born in the dark night, with beautiful features and delicate skin, unlike any ordinary creature.
He tilted his head, and his long hair fell from his neck and hung in front of him.
Ji Huai looked at Yun Piancheng, who finally relaxed his brows on the stone, frowned, and pouted slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.
He walked forward, squatted in front of Yun Piancheng, put his head close and sniffed.
Even though the nightmare turned into a sweet dream due to the removal of bad emotions, Yun Piancheng, who had been fighting for many years, still maintained the vigilance that a soldier should have.
As soon as Ji Huai approached, she opened her eyes, and her body reacted before her brain. She pushed Ji Huai to the ground with his back facing up. She grabbed Ji Huai's two slender wrists with her left hand and clasped them above his head, and pinched Ji Huai's neck with her right hand.
"Who are you?" Yun Piancheng asked in a deep voice.
Ji Huai was startled, but then he became angry and opened his mouth to bite Yun Piancheng, but he was restrained and unable to move.
Ji Huai became even angrier, his face flushed red, and he glared at Yun Piancheng with gritted teeth.
Feeling his subordinates' bad temper and familiar actions, Yun Piancheng was shocked and a guess came to his mind.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw no trace of the little white ball on her shoulder. Yun Piancheng hurriedly looked at his pocket - it was deflated and empty.
"Are you... Ji Huai?" Yun Piancheng asked tentatively. In fact, he was already 80% sure in his heart, and the strength in his hands was also reduced.
"Hungry." Ji Huai took the opportunity to break free and tried to pin Yun Piancheng down just like Yun Piancheng did just now.
This time Yun Piancheng let him do as he pleased and lay down obediently.
Ji Huai's hair fell on Yun Piancheng's face, making her feel a little itchy.
The clouds quietly drifted away again, making way for the moonlight, and Ji Huai's delicate face was exposed to Yun Piancheng without reservation.
nice.
Yun Piancheng's heart skipped a beat.
Accustomed to seeing rough guys in the military camp, Yun Piancheng just likes this kind of delicate-looking little boy.
The boy's skin was so white and shiny in the moonlight, and his face was so perfect for Yun Piancheng's aesthetic taste that it made her breath stop.
"you……"
"I'm hungry." Ji Huai interrupted Yun Piancheng, staring at her with his dark eyes, revealing unconcealable grievance and appetite.
Ji Huai, who only had biological instincts, had no aesthetic taste to appreciate Yun Piancheng's beauty with messy hair under the moonlight. All he had in his eyes was a longing for food.
"Come down first, I'll find you some clothes to wear, and then take you to find something to eat." Yun Piancheng finished the words that were interrupted just now, and wanted to touch Ji Huai like before, but stopped.
This is so offensive.
It would be fine if Ji Huai was really a little beast that knew nothing, but he is now a human being, a boy even.
Yun Piancheng was rarely at a loss.
Before she could react, Ji Huai suddenly lost his strength and fell on her chest.
The fragrance filled her face, and her messy hair rubbed against her neck and tangled with her hair.
The warm breath passed through Ji Huai's nostrils and spread to Yun Piancheng's neck.
"Eat you."
Yun Piancheng's thoughts were in a mess when he heard Ji Huai's clear and soft voice.
Although there had been cases in the past where others had wanted to get into her bed, the young marshal just froze in place at this moment, not knowing how to deal with it.
Ji Huai did not feel any negative emotions, and his human form lost its energy support. With a snap, he turned back into a small ball, fell on Yun Piancheng's bulging chest, rolled to his neck, and fell into a deep sleep.
Yun Piancheng breathed a sigh of relief, but was again conflicted.
If Ji Huai could become a human, would she still take him on the journey?
But Ji Huai's human form looks really small, like an underage child. If he is just left in a deserted forest, can he survive?
In his sleep, Ji Huai noticed Yun Piancheng's chaotic emotions, opened his eyes, rolled over, and said with all his strength, "I want to... follow you."
Yun Piancheng didn't say anything.
She had a nightmare tonight, dreaming of the scene where her parents were accidentally killed while going to war eight years ago.
The murderer seemed to be in the federal high-level positions, but those cunning and treacherous people were hiding too deeply, and she had to work hard to deal with and test them.
Loneliness washed over her like a tide.
But with Ji Huai, Yun Piancheng felt as if she had a moving castle, and the concept of home seemed to be finally closer to her.
Yun Piancheng thought that she allowed Ji Huai to follow her not because she was soft-hearted, but because she needed Ji Huai.
After confirming his intention, Yun Piancheng calmed down, pinched the little white ball, and said softly: "I'll take you with me, good night."
good evening.
Ji Huai said in his heart.
*
Time passed and Yun Piancheng walked for another day and a half before arriving at a small town.
The bustling atmosphere of fireworks enveloped Yun Piancheng, making her heart beat three times faster.
But who would have thought that the first thing Yun Piancheng heard when he just entered the small town was not the shouting of vendors, nor the sound of people walking around and visiting each other.
But it was the radio broadcast that was playing on repeat...her obituary.
People gathered together, bowed their heads in silence, and faint sobs could be heard - they were mourning the passing of a just, great, and meritorious life.
They are grateful for the shelter they have received.
They are also confused and uneasy about the future loss of their shield.
[Federation Marshal Yun Piancheng has passed away at the age of 28. She joined the army at a young age and fought for the Federation, suppressing countless rebels and space pirates. She also signed an interstellar peace treaty on behalf of the Federation. Two days ago, she was attacked by remnants of anti-Federation forces and tragically died after annihilating them. She dedicated her life to protecting the people of the Federation...]
Yun Pian, who was 28 years old, listened to the obituary quietly and attentively, listening to it recount his past.
This faked death is a very risky action that will inevitably lead to war, but if this is not done and the termites are not eliminated, future casualties will be even more severe.
But still…
I'm sorry to these poor people.
Finally, after the second repeated broadcast, Yun Piancheng came out of her depressed mood and switched the user information of the light brain to the vest she had hidden for a long time - Cheng Yun.
Changing identities was as easy as pie for Yun Piancheng, and he didn't even need to use disguise techniques.
Because of the special identities of Yun Piancheng's parents, she has been protected since she was born. She walks in front of the public using the identity of "Cheng Yun". When she appears as "Yun Piancheng" in her daily life, she always wears a mask or uses a military facial interference device to prevent others from remembering her appearance.
"Yun... Pian, Cheng."
Little Ji Huai crawled out of the pocket, moved to Yun Piancheng's shoulder, twisted his body left and right to stretch his body, and started babbling.
Yun Piancheng gently patted Ji Huai's palm-sized body and replied softly, "Yes, Yun Piancheng."
"I'm a hero of the Federation," Yun Piancheng boasted expressionlessly. After a pause, he finally added a belated self-introduction, "My name is Cheng Yun."
"Cheng... Yun?" Ji Huai rubbed Yun Piancheng's hand, looked at Yun Piancheng seriously with his round eyes, and said seriously, "Little Cheng Yun, don't be sad."
Knowing what Ji Huai was talking about, Yun Piancheng touched Ji Huai's head and responded softly.
It’s time to settle down here, Yun Piancheng thought.
She checked her electronic account, confirmed that there were many zeros on it, logged into the real estate transaction website, located herself, and began to screen properties.
Perhaps because she was currently at the edge of the town and the network was very poor, the circle in the center of the webpage kept spinning and could not display real-time information.
In desperation, Yun Piancheng had to hang up the webpage in the background first, intending to familiarize himself with this unfamiliar place called Belu City.
She walked aimlessly with Ji Huai and Bei Lucheng.
Different from the densely packed and well-arranged house distribution structure in the capital, the cityscape of Belu City is relatively primitive. The buildings are not high, the distances between them are wide, and the colors are warm, which makes people feel very relaxed when looking at them.
"Ah——" A man's trembling roar came from the alley.
Yun Piancheng glanced sideways and found that there were a lot of onlookers piled up there.
Ji Huai sensed the complex emotions in the air and rolled over on Yun Piancheng's shoulder a little uneasily.
Yun Piancheng, sensing something was amiss, approached the crowd, patted one of the girls, and asked, "What happened here?"
The girl was quite straightforward. She moved aside to make way, grabbed Yun Piancheng and pulled her into the inner circle, giving her a good view to watch the fun.
I saw a disabled man with only one arm huddled in the corner, holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, waving it towards the crowd and muttering to himself.
"Don't kill me... Don't kill me... I was forced... I don't want to kill anyone..."
"I've already paid the price..."
The voice of the "Reach Out" woman reached Yun Piancheng's ears. She said, "He's a veteran on the battlefield. He lost an arm after being blown off. He's been like this since he retired. He's completely out of his mind. He was so shocked by the marshal's obituary that he started yelling and screaming. I heard someone call this symptom post-war PS... what's it called?"
"PTSD," Yun Piancheng added the word, "I'll go see him."
"Oh, then you're not afraid of being beaten with a stick by him, you're quite a character."
Ranglu wanted to pat Yun Piancheng like he had patted her just now, but when her eyes met Yun Piancheng's shoulder, she put her hand down.
"Well, with all those cute accessories on, she might really be a passionate girl who's still dreaming of saving the world. We're often drafted here, and there are so many people like that. You'd better comfort them one by one."
Yun Piancheng looked at the curled up man, as if he saw through him the many figures who had fought side by side with him.
She blurted out: "I'm a psychological counselor."
