Zuo Ling's words carried a warning.
It's still like experiencing all four seasons in one day, but it's much better than during the extreme cold and heat. With careful care, it might still grow well.
Guo Qi and He Xiao rubbed their hands together excitedly, "We know, we know, this is our lifeline, how could we not take good care of it?"
Space water... If space water isn't provided, the seeds will eventually disperse. Without the support of space water, their growth will be very different, and sooner or later people will notice something amiss. Zuo Ling didn't want to cause herself any trouble.
Let them grow freely; how they grow is entirely up to fate.
As for where the seeds came from, nobody asked at all.
That day, Zuo Ling's family was sunbathing at sea when they heard a buzzing sound overhead.
The whole family watched the approaching plane warily when Xiao Hao suddenly shouted excitedly, "Sister, sister, look, look..."
On the square red background logo, one large and four small yellow five-pointed stars stand out prominently.
National flag! The national flag of China!!
I never felt patriotic when I stayed at home. It was only when I was further and further away from my motherland that I realized there was a strong sense of belonging hidden in a corner of my heart.
Before my eyes, a layer of mist unconsciously appeared.
Upon discovering people below, the pilot circled Zuo Ling's family twice at low altitude. Zuo Ling thought she saw the pilot give them a victory sign.
As the plane was leaving, several colorful bottles fell off.
On this snowy night, I eagerly jumped off the boat to retrieve the bottle. Inside was a note with a simple sentence:
Dear compatriots:
Welcome home. Coordinates: East longitude **** North latitude ****
The note was stamped with the red seals of several ministries, including the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the CPPCC, the Central Military Commission, and the Ministry of National Defense. In the far corner was the seal of the President of the People's Republic of China.
Motherland is calling her children home; Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling's eyes welled up with tears.
The address isn't the one they all know in Beijing; it's likely that the government has built a more secure base there.
Xiao Hao rubbed his eyes. He had spent some time at the military base and had developed some affection for the uncles and brothers at the plantation.
"Sister, is it Uncle Zhao and the others who want us to go home?"
The Uncle Zhao that Xiao Hao mentioned was Zhao Hongyi, the highest-ranking official he knew.
For a period of time, Zhao Hongyi frequently visited the plantation and would also watch Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao train whenever he had time. He really liked Xiao Hao.
"Does Xiao Hao miss Uncle Zhao?"
Xiao Hao nodded vigorously, "Uncle Zhao wanted to recruit me into the army, but I was too young then. Now that I'm grown up, I can join the army."
"Xiao Hao wants to join the army?"
Zuo Ling was very surprised.
"Yes, being a soldier... is different. Being a soldier allows you to protect your country."
If it were in the past, Zuo Ling would have laughed her head off if she heard someone say that.
Defending the country and protecting the homeland? Do you even know what defending the country and protecting the homeland means? You think you can defend the country and protect the homeland and protecting the homeland just because you have a lot of enthusiasm? Ridiculous!
Now, she can no longer smile. Having ambition is better than having no goals at all.
"Okay, let's go home."
She can't hide away forever; some things need to be resolved.
"Really?" Xiao Hao jumped up excitedly. "Then Li Tian..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Hao realized that Li Tian couldn't go home with him, and his mood visibly dropped.
Zuo Ling gently pinched his nose:
"Let's go tell Uncle Guo. Uncle Guo and the others must also want to go home. Let's all work together and think of a way."
Xiao Hao didn't believe it. He wasn't a child anymore, and over the years he had come to understand that even his brother might not be able to protect him without his sister's special abilities.
Not to mention, they now live such a comfortable life.
Zuo Ling brought the message in the bottle she had retrieved back to Tangren Village. Guo Qi, He Xiao, and Yang Chengang all had slightly red eyes.
Guo Qi is a veteran with a strong sense of belonging to the country and the army.
After years of wandering, He Xiao and Yang Chengang were exhausted, both physically and mentally, and longed to return home like fledglings.
Natural disasters and man-made calamities are frequent, and everyone is living a difficult life.
Suddenly one day, Motherland called her children who had been wandering far from home to return, and everyone was greatly shocked.
Upon receiving the news, the villagers circulated the note among themselves.
Many people covered their faces and wept bitterly, not because they didn't want to go back, but because they didn't have the ability to go back!
