I don't know if it was Qi Yan's illusion, but after the argument with Xiya that day, he had more food at every meal, and sometimes he would have a small fruit as a dessert after the meal.
Those children also came over on time every day to listen to his stories. Over time, some parents of the children would smile at him through the window when they passed by here.
Qi Yan felt that things were moving in a good direction.
Among the children, there was a child named Mas, who had always rejected him.
Qi Yan vaguely remembered that Xiya once told Donil that Mas's mother had given birth to another child...but Mas had never been seen bringing his brother or sister out, nor had his mother looked for him.
Qi Yan once thought that he was not loved by his family. Later, when the children talked about him, Qi Yan learned that Mas had no father when his mother was pregnant with his little sister.
Qi Yan thought that the death of Mas's father must have something to do with the government of Shuta Star, so Mas felt repulsive and disgusted with Qi Yan, who was from Shuta Star.
"At this time, a hunter passed by. He was extremely brave and shot the evil wolf and rescued Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother."
"Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were very grateful to the hunter, so they kept him and enjoyed delicious fruits and cakes together."
"Okay, today's story is over. Let's go back to bed."
Qi Yan's clear voice, like the gurgling of a stream, brought a gentle smile, and the children were fascinated by it. Until Qi Yan asked them to go home, they greeted each other one by one and left together with laughter.
Looking at their backs as they left, Qi Yan felt extremely satisfied.
"Have you done this kind of thing before?" Donil's voice suddenly rang out, and Qi Yan was stunned for only a moment, then he calmed down.
Doniel is often like this, appearing out of nowhere, appearing suddenly, saying a few words, and then leaving inexplicably.
"This is not my job." Qi Yan said truthfully: "But I like children."
Doniel looked at him for a long time, then moved his eyes away and looked into the distance: "They are very innocent."
"Yes, so innocent that no one can spy on them." After that, Qi Yan sighed and said, "Do you believe what I said last time?"
Doniel snorted lightly: "It's up to me whether you believe it or not."
"Of course, but I hope you can believe it." Qi Yan said: "You may doubt me when you see such documents, but I want to say that you will use me to exchange hostages sooner or later, so there is no need for me to lie to you."
Once Qi Yan left, who would care whether Chiklis would be destroyed?
Doniel was silent for a while, and looked at him with some confusion: "How did you know?"
"...I found it when I was looking for research materials about my father before his death." Qi Yan was silent for a long time before saying this.
He didn't want to tell Doniel about his intentions, but he had no reservations about Doniel, as long as Doniel asked.
"Your father?" Doniel was stunned, and then his voice was deep: "Sorry."
"No, it's nothing." Qi Yan's eyes flashed, and his expression was quite indifferent: "I mentioned my father not to win sympathy. You don't have to apologize like this, because he has already left the world." Qi
Yan's words made Doniel choke. Although the boy's face was indifferent, the pain in his eyes could not be ignored.
Doniel didn't know what kind of environment could make a person who lost his father so numb when talking about his father.
"Although it's strange, I think I need your help." Doniel said seriously: "I overheard you talking to the children about the environment on other planets a few days ago. I think you should know which planet can be our second home."
Qi Yan pursed his lips and said slowly after a long time: "Do you dare to believe me?"
Doniel shook his head: "I dare not, but I am gambling. As a leader, I need to make any sacrifices and gambles for my companions."
Qi Yan had to admit that Doniel was definitely a very good leader.
"Okay, I will help you." Qi Yan compromised: "There are several planets to go to, but I don't know whether the route and government protectors have monitored those planets."
After Qi Yan finished speaking, he picked up a stick and listed those planets one by one on the yellow land.
"In addition, there is a phantom land in Chiklis, where all the water sources and plants in Chiklis are concentrated. If you can't leave for a while, I suggest you look for the 'Phantom Land'."
After Qi Yan's voice fell, Doniel showed a trace of joy on his face.
"Are you serious?!" Doniel's magnetic voice rose.
"Yes." Qi Yan nodded, his voice and expression were the same as before: "It may take a long time, but I swear with everything I have that there must be such a place in Chiklis."
Doniel was very excited. He happily hit his hands together, turned around and ran away, as if he wanted to share this news with everyone as soon as possible.
After running a few steps, Doniel suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Qi Yan: "Thank you!"
Qi Yan waved his hand, as a response to his thanks.
In Chicles, Qi Yan can definitely be regarded as an intellectual who has read all the books. He is more than qualified to be in charge of making plans. Unfortunately... he is a hostage.
A few days after talking with Doniel, Qi Yan often heard the sound of small aircraft starting, one after another, flying in different directions.
Doniel really took Qi Yan's words seriously, so he gradually expanded the scope of the search.
Maybe God bless these innocent and lovely children. After ten days of sleepless searching, they really found the phantom land!
"We can see green! We have water!!"
"It's really big there! I followed the capsule! God must have opened his eyes!"
"It looks like an oasis, not a mirage!"
...
That day, everyone was cheering and rejoicing, happier than every time the Samoed came back.
Doniel looked at the cheering people, with a smile on his face that never faded.
In the cabin, Qi Yan listened to the cheers outside and felt much happier. He stood up silently and took care of his small loess house.
This should be the last time I live in a mud house... I should take good care of it, after all, I have lived there for so long.
Qi Yan had just stood up and had not had time to tidy up the dry grass when the wooden door of the mud house, which had never been opened, suddenly opened.
A beam of light shone in and Qi Yan looked over in shock.
At the door, Donil's unusually tall figure stood there.
