people.

However, his eyes were closed tightly and he was still unconscious. Opal got into the car and wrapped him in a piece of coarse cloth, carried him into the car, and put him in the back seat. He was half a head taller than Opal, and his body was

Very heavy. Opal tried his nose - and breathed.

His chest was rising and falling slightly, and the injury was healed.

Three days later again.

The dim light shone into the house. The man who was brought home by Opal a few days ago opened his eyes and moved uncomfortably. When he touched the iron box above his head, there was a sound of desert thorn red flowers and soil pouring down, which made him completely

woke up.

He stood up suddenly. This action stimulated him. After a hysterical cough, he narrowed his eyes and began to recall what happened before he fell on this planet.

He remembered and began to look at the small room in the dusk light. The overturned iron flowerpot fell to the ground. He carefully picked it up and put it back on the crooked bedside table, on a wooden table.

I sat down on the chair and looked at the three-legged table and the large rock that supported the other side and was built up and then glued together.

There were a lot of crystal minerals on the shelf. This was an ore planet. The man squinted his eyes and looked at the photos posted on the wall.

A strong woman wearing a safety helmet held a child under ten years old in her arms and smiled at him in the yellowed old photo.

The man got out of bed and noticed his silver bracelet on the bedside. He put it on, took a piece of linen and wrapped it around his waist as a long skirt. He got up and walked around the small room.

The entire cabin is less than ten square meters, and apart from the bed, table, bedside tables and storage racks, there are not many belongings.

The door rumbled open, and Opal came in carrying a large pitcher of water and said happily: "Are you awake?"

The man looked up and said, "Hello, friend."

Opal put the water next to the bed: "I saw your spaceship fell in the desert."

Opal told the story of the discovery of the spacecraft, and asked casually: "Are you feeling better? What's your name? How did you get here? You seemed to have been seriously injured the past few days, please take a rest first."

The man was silent for a moment, and then said: "Why did you save me?"

Opal couldn't explain why he saved him. He looked at the man and had a strange feeling.

An adult man is sitting next to the bed. His big chest muscles and shoulders have a sense of male strength and beauty. His light gray hair is not long and just covers his ears. His neck is clean and white, his nose bridge is high and his pupils are clear.

His lips were very warm, and he had lost a little blood from six days of deep sleep and severe injuries.

Opal said: "No reason, I don't want to... watch you die. It's very dangerous, so I saved you subconsciously."

The adult man said: "Did you know that the escape cabin needs energy?"

Opal said: "I guess what will happen if I don't care about you? Will you die?"

The adult man was quiet for a moment, and Opal sat down, sitting side by side with him on the bed, thinking for a while, and then said: "I guess...well, it shouldn't be. Maybe it will make you fall asleep all the time. How do you say that word?"

Coming? Yes, sleeping."

The adult man said: "You will die. The blood cells in the life-saving fluid can only survive for seventy-two hours."

Opal was still frightened. This man was only a little bit close to death.

The adult man turned his head and said to him: "My name is Lecter, please keep it a secret for me."

Opal couldn't think of anything at all, so he nodded perfunctorily and said, "Okay."

Rector said: "Promise me, I will."

Opal felt that this man was really a bit ungrateful and didn't even say thank you. But he had to save people by himself, so it was hard to say anything. Instead, he had a feeling in his heart that he had to save others to the end. After all, he had survived.

You can't drive him out.

"Definitely!" Opal replied: "Would you like some water?"

Lecter was also very thirsty. He took the water bottle handed by Opal and drank most of the bottle of water. Opal felt distressed and said hurriedly: "Save your drink, there is only so much water in three days."

Lecter flicked the corner of his mouth with his wrist, remained silent for a moment, and asked: "Why did you save so many red veined crystals?"

Opal said: "Sell it for money and have fun with it."

Rector asked: "Are there any spaceships nearby? An ordinary small close-to-surface ship will do, Phoenix A-type or A12..."

Opal said blankly: "No, what is it? The latest model?"

Lecter: "Do you have a small shipping spaceship, Adventurer III?"

Opal shook his head.

Rector: "Aquamarine's shuttle?"

Opal finally heard the term she knew and smiled: "Is it this?"

He turned on the projector on the head of the small robot e7, and a light screen was opened inside. On it was an advertisement - Aqua Blue Planet New Era Navigation Shuttle, amphibious, land and air.

The advertisement from ten years ago showed a beautiful small two-person spaceship with the endless indigo sea in the background.

Lecter said happily: "Yes, this is it. Where is it? Take me there."

Opal: "No."

Rector: "..."

Opal said: "I only saw it once."

Rector: "Where?"

Opal: "It's in the electronic holographic magazine, here. It was given to me by a businessman who came to the planet before."

Rector was completely convinced.

Opal took out a baguette of black bread, broke it in half, and handed half of it to Lector. Lector was not polite and took it and ate it. The bread was dry and rough, as if he was swallowing sand. Lector ate some bread.

I couldn't help but drink water before I could swallow it, but Opal chewed it in small sips and took a long time to take a sip of water.

"Water resources are precious." Rector said, "Why don't you live on another planet? You seem to be in good health. You can find another place to live."

Opal said: "Where to go? I haven't left my home planet yet."

As he spoke, he looked at the delicate silver bracelet on Rector's thick wrist. Rector took off the bracelet and asked, "This is your home planet? Do you like this?"

Opal said: "I don't want it, I'm just curious." He took it and looked at it for a while. The bracelet seemed to be made of a special material, probably a memory alloy, and gave it back to Rector.

Rector asked: "How does this place communicate with the central area of ​​the Red Flame Galaxy?"

Opal: "Every revolution year, a spaceship will come to transport ore and bring daily necessities to sell to the miners."

Rector: "How many rotation days is the revolution period?"

Opal said: "More than a thousand, more than a thousand."

Lecter glanced out the window and said: "A day is about twenty-five cosmic hours. From just now to now, the shadow angle has traveled two centimeters."

Opal nodded slowly and said, "You are quite observant."

Rector couldn't eat anymore, so he soaked the remaining bread in a small glass of water and said: "Some planets have two suns, and some planets have six moons, rising in the west and setting in the east. Think about it."

Leave here and go see the vast universe."

Opal said: "I... don't know where to go. People here are not allowed to leave at will, and the ferry tickets are very expensive, very expensive."

Lecter frowned in confusion.

Opal shrugged and said, "A ship ticket costs 100,000 energy units of spar."

Rector said: "What age has it been? Why are we still using energy units as the currency conversion standard?"

Opal was a little confused and asked: "Why else?"

Lecter suddenly realized something and asked alertly: "This is a slave planet in disguise, am I right?"

Opal said: "No." He remembered that a long time ago, a scholar who came off an interstellar spaceship for an assessment vaguely mentioned this word and asked: "What is a slave planet?"

Lecter said solemnly: "I understand."

Opal looked at him inexplicably, and Lecter said: "The interstellar slaves have been abolished, and the owner of this planet will be taken to the cosmic court."

Opal heard too many unfamiliar terms and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he asked: "Slave means miners like us?"

Rector was silent for a long time, without answering his question, and finally said: "I have to get out of here."

Opal said: "Where to go? Do you have a spaceship?"

Rector said: "No, but I have to change my place to live tomorrow so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to you. My opponent is very dangerous and may come to this planet."

Opal's heart suddenly shuddered. She remembered the injuries on Lecter's body when she saw him for the first time. Lecter seemed to know what he was thinking and said casually: "But at least it's safe now. You can go to sleep. I'm sorry.

Taking over your bed."

Opal hurriedly said: "No, no, just sleep, your injury is not healed yet."

Opal packed up her things, spread a piece of cloth on the ground, lay down and closed her eyes. Lecter asked in the darkness: "Is that your mother in the photo?"

Opal hummed, and Lecter asked again: "Where is she? Can I talk to her?"

Opal said: "He died in a mining accident."

Rector: "Where is your father?"

Opal said: "I don't know who it is."
