Chapter 15 Suffering and Fear
Lu Chuan didn't know what to say, so he could only drink cup after cup with Huo Changge.
Behind the cruel statistics are probably sixty-four broken families, and there are many more families like Lao Jiang who are waiting for that day in fear and despair every day.
What about time travellers? With their golden fingers, they can easily navigate this world with supernatural powers, they can move mountains and seas and change the day, and they can have the knowledge and memories of another world to build a country here.
But when things came to pass, they could only watch as their children turned into another person before their eyes.
"Aunt Li has always wanted to take Momo to Utopia." Huo Changge said softly, "Utopia used to be a gathering of idealists. After this incident, almost all the children's time-travelers went to Utopia.
Utopia has a specialized organization studying this matter, and Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Science is also leading the research, and Aunt Li has always wanted to join in and solve this matter before Momo turns sixteen."
"Lao Jiang doesn't want to go? Why?" Lu Chuan asked. With Lao Jiang's love for his daughter, shouldn't he go there immediately even if there is even a ten thousandth chance?
"On the one hand, Lao Jiang can't let go of the Wu Kingdom. He has been in the Wu Kingdom since he crossed over. Here are his youth, career, comrades, subordinates, and students. Beining City and Zhenbeiguan, if it weren't for him and
If Aunt Li held on, she would have been eaten by Jing Guo a long time ago."
Huo Changge lowered his head and his voice was a little muffled.
"On the other hand, Momo has also grown up. She also has her own friends and classmates here. Suddenly she was transferred to a completely new environment in Utopia. She was told that her parents and senior brothers were actually people from another world.
, how will she accept it?
Also, if Momo knew that she was sixteen years old, she would...
Then how scared she will be in the following days..."
Lu Chuan saw tears welling up in the corners of Huo Changge's eyes, and felt sad in his heart.
"Momo has been timid since she was a child. In the past, Lao Jiang and Aunt Li were fighting outside. If she didn't come back at night, she would stay awake in the dormitory and dare not sleep..."
Lu Chuan couldn't help but think of when Huo Changge brought him back last night. It was already very late, but Jiang Mo was sitting alone in the yard waiting. When Huo Changge came back, she went back to sleep peacefully.
Huo Changge abruptly changed the topic, "Ha, Momo was so cute when she was little. She was so small, and she would follow you and yell like "Senior Brother."
Lao Huo."
Lu Chuan lowered his head, picked up the jug and poured wine into Huo Changge's glass. When he looked up again, the tears in the corners of Huo Changge's eyes had disappeared.
As the controller of Time Zero, he can easily wipe away his tears when others cannot see them, and then hide the pain and fear in his heart deeper.
"What's special about the three people who haven't been time-traveled, or do they have anything in common?" Lu Chuan asked softly.
"There is no conclusion." Huo Changge shook his head and drank another glass of wine.
"Actually, Aunt Li also knows that going to Utopia is of no use. Most of the children who have gone to Utopia have been transported back in time. So many people have been studying Utopia for so many years, but there is no conclusion.
In the end, this matter is still the same as time travel, it depends on fate."
Lu Chuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"But Aunt Li will still blame Lao Jiang for not wanting to go to Utopia. She feels that Lao Jiang does not put his family in the most important position, which is why Aunt Li is so angry today.
She was angry that Lao Jiang didn’t come back to have dinner with us on the important day, and she was also angry that he didn’t consider his family when he spent all his money outside.”
Lu Chuan's mood was also very heavy, just like the topic the two were talking about, "What will happen to those children who were time-traveled?"
"Detain, control, and cooperate with research. This is very inhumane. There have been countless disputes within Utopia over this matter. But no one can convince the parents who are almost crazy because of the loss of their children."
Huo Changge replied in a low tone, then stopped talking and didn't want to talk any more.
He couldn't imagine how he would treat Jiang Mo if she was replaced by a brand new time traveler one day. Just imagining this was unbearable for him.
The room fell into silence again, as the two of them drank wine and thought about their thoughts.
Lu Chuan thought of his previous guess. It is very likely that no time travellers have come back since October 2015. It seems that it is not that no one has time traveled, but that the people who have come have lost the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.
"How can I help?" After a long time, Lu Chuan asked.
Huo Changge also came to his senses and forced a forced smile on his face, "Drink."
...
Lu Chuan didn't remember at all how much he drank with Huo Changge the night before, and he completely forgot that the other party said that he could use his vitality to relieve hangovers when he first entered the room. He only remembered that the two of them drank one glass after another, and then opened their mouths.
It's already dawn for my eyes.
He looked at the wine bottles poured on the ground and vaguely remembered that Huo Changge drank too much last night and said that he actually fell in love with a female teacher in the spiritual academy.
The girl has also liked him for many years. The two of them are in love, but he dare not accept it. He also advises himself not to fall in love, get married, or have children.
Because they are the chosen ones.
After Lu Chuan washed up, he walked to the front yard and found that everyone had already eaten breakfast. However, the faces of the four of them were not very good-looking, so they just nodded when they saw Lu Chuan coming in.
As soon as Lu Chuan sat down, Lao Jiang opened his mouth and dropped a bombshell.
"An urgent report came from Zhenbeiguan, saying that Jingguo's army has gathered outside the pass, and the current situation is not good. So after dinner, Qianqian, Xiao Huo, and I all have to go to Zhenbeiguan.
"
"I'm full." Jiang Mo put the bowl on the table, got up and walked out the door.
"Momo!" Li Qian shouted, and Jiang Mo stood still.
"Xiao Lu, I will ask you to take care of Momo these days while we are not at home." Although Li Qian said that she asked Lu Chuan to take care of Jiang Mo, her eyes were obviously worried.
Lu Chuan had not been in this world for long, and he was just a monk who had just entered Taoism. Who could he take care of?
He has only known everyone for a day, so how can he be trusted to hand over his daughter to him? Besides, he hasn't spoken to Momo yet, can Momo really live with him?
Lu Chuan was also in a state of confusion at the moment. He nodded, secretly guessing what happened at Zhenbeiguan. Could it be that the previous accident had not completely subsided and still had an impact.
"When will you come back?" Jiang Mo sat back down in his seat, wrung his hands together and stared at Li Qian and asked.
"If there is no war, you can come back in about three to five days." Lao Jiang answered Jiang Mo's question.
But Lao Jiang didn't say what would happen if there was a war, and Jiang Mo knew it, so she pouted, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
Li Qian called Lu Chuan out alone, took out many elixirs, talismans, yuan stones and Wu Guo coins from her storage ring, and explained the use of each elixir and talisman.
Not long after, Huo Changge also stood up, walked to Jiang Mo and touched her lowered head, then went out and came to Lu Chuan, and started to take out his storage ring.
"Is the situation at Zhenbeiguan very bad?" Lu Chuan thought it was nothing at first, but now he was flustered by their behavior. If he could come back in three to five days, there was no need to arm him to the teeth like this.
.
"Take care of Momo, take care of yourself." Huo Changge patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder without explaining more.
"It's getting late, let's go." Lao Jiang also walked out of the house and looked at Lu Chuan with a solemn expression. "I'll leave the house to you."
As soon as Lu Chuan nodded in agreement, Lao Jiang walked towards the courtyard gate. Li Qian and Huo Changge looked back uneasily as they walked, but in the end the three of them disappeared from Lu Chuan's sight.
Lu Chuan turned around and looked into the room. Jiang Mo's fair face was already covered with tears. When he noticed that Lu Chuan was looking at her, he immediately turned his face away.
