Chapter 3
He was lonelier than the fireworks
The Bell Tower Street of the capital of the West River state, there was not really the bell tower.
Why this street had such a full of flavor of restored ancient name, it was just because when the first time the federal military came and stationed in the East Forest planet, they made a weak intelligence heartbreaking... the gravity measuring error.
The warship falling location was right here then, the burst out fireworks reflected the vagaries on the faces of the countless soldiers, and the chief of the Fourth Military Region had a sigh, "the mood I have right now, is lonelier than the fireworks."
The restored ancient bell that the chief of the Fourth Military Region carried, fell out of the damaged warship along with the beautiful fireworks, and hit hard on the ground of the mine planet. The battleship was ruined, but that big stupid bell was not destroyed, and it was still working, this was no doubt the most heartless laugh at the capability of the federal government and the military.
The fact proved, the sigh of the chief of the Fourth Military Region didn't have the problem of literary tune too much-- The federal Management Committee was very angry about this accident, very angry. They had the rectification movement in the army; they removed many official posts in the army, and ordered strictly to put that still working bell on the same place where it hit the ground, to serve as the vigilance to all the public servants. And this chief executive of the Fourth Military Region was distributed to West Forest Region this border defense zone; he ended his life down in the loneliness.
Many years later, that big stupid bell had already been corroded into fragments by the acid rains, and also didn't know where they were buried in which garbage field on the East Forest planet now, but the name of the Bell Tower Street had been left behind.

There were no fireworks on the Bell Tower Street today, and it's not lonely neither, but it's not as normal as usual, it's full of the angry but couldn't help laughing protest sounds, the broken slogans appeared and disappeared time to time, the drank too much coffee and got exited residents joined in, the drank too much hard liquor and got sudden violent drinkers also joined in, that let the maintaining order the power of the second police station somewhat out at the elbows immediately. The messy scene started to develop to the direction of the true fantastic experimental drama.
Paul Long had a cold face to stand behind the blockade in, he didn't worry about these East Forest residents would dare to blunt come over. Although the East Forest people were really bored long enough, they found a way to release their emotions very not easily, thus they appeared too worked up. Although that blockade was just a yellow thin tape... Yet the Federation is a legal society, all the people knew what could be challenged and what couldn't be challenged.
What made deputy director Paul felt care slightly in the heart was just the previous guess, it's so coincidence that these damned orphans appeared today, the choice of the unrest reason also appeared too cute, once the news media joined in, nothing the governor's office also could take on these orphans afterwards, all in all, behind the back of the chaos, these was the order hidden to let him have some alerts.
"Jane Sue!"
"We want to watch Jane Sue!"
The demonstration voice continued, the young voices had already been hoarse, but that couldn't cover the complacence and excitement within.
Paul Long decided as early as the first time, he informed the governor's office, requested the superior federal department to sent down the negotiators, but not to choose the tough confront-- on the one hand it's because of the presence of the reporters, on the other hand it's also because really the state government had done something in the wrong, the last was because his cautious nature began to play the role.
It's not too long later, the officials of the governor's office, the federal radio management committee and the public relation of the police administration all rushed to the parade heartland on the Bell Tower Street. They began to try to persuade the inhabitants of the East Forest Region, but no matter what they said, they just couldn't explain the fact that there was no that light purple hair figure on the TV screen.
Also no officials would admit, this stupid decision to protect the production department of the West River television station was made by himself, they just put this question to come down to the technical reason. Anyway, the negotiation had been continuing, and those orphans disappeared in the crowd quietly in the gloomy eyes of Paul Long.
Not long after the orphan leader Vigor brought that group of extremely tough in the heart orphans escaped into the crowd, the whole Bell Tower Street burst out the extremely delighted applauses and cheers!
The shouts for the joy, the negotiation was over, after a sound of “Dee“, the ultra-thin scroll TV in the coffee shop was turned on once again, the Bell Tower Street was all silent, many of the police wiped off the sweat from the forehead, the female reporter warped up the corners of her mouth satisfied, the officials scolded badly the stupid and no-bone governor in the heart.
Tonight's eight o'clock sharp, the channel 23 would carry Jane Sue that moving cheek to return to the capital of the West River state, this was really a celebration day for all the people to join in the jubilation.

The night sky of the East Forest always seemed strange, the light dark red light diffused on the black-ash sky, it seemed somewhat like the scene of the Hell Gate, as that of those stylites didn't forget in their minds. However, to the people who lived on this planet, they had already seen this scene for countless years, they had already been used to it, and they would never see it for the second eye.
Couldn't see all the stars on the sky, there were only a few stars flashing stiffly, as if they were not content that the starlight cost them the very hard work to spill onto the land, were ignored like the stones by the East Forest people...
One big and one small two figures wormed their ways into the shadow of the street light, they avoided the signal checking equipments very skillfully, they got though the alley of the side of the Bell Tower street and came to the bottom of a green tree.
The green tree was on a little green hillock, there was no light around, against the background color of the distant the night sky, it’s like a picture of trimmed extremely delicate paper-cut painting.
On the center of the picture, a man was sitting below the green tree, it should be a teenager by the figure, he sat on the ground crossing his legs, the thing on his laps was sending out the light shine, which drew his outline of the figure especially lonely.
............
............
"Brother Sheilor... Why are you always lonely one person by yourself?" The two figures came down to the green hillock, the smaller that one opened his mouth with slow speech, but his voice was still somewhat hoarse, it obviously was caused by calling thousands of times Jane Sue when he shouted the slogans this afternoon.
Another person of course was the leader of the orphans Vigor, he looked at the lonely back figure of that teenager below the green tree, and he couldn't help to inhale a breath and said in admiration, "It's really lonelier than the fireworks..."
This sigh from the chief executive of the Fourth Military Region many years ago, had already become the never-will-be-forgotten famous remark for the residents of the whole East Forest Region, even such like Vigor this uneducated guy, would also bring it out to describe people unexpectedly.
Vigor and that little guy ran toward the green hillock, when they almost ran to the back of that lonely figure, they found that the young man they called brother Sheilor, his shoulders twitched up suddenly, it seemed that he was crying silently.
Vigor was pale on his face; he walked to the front of that youngster and asked, "Sheilor, what's happening?"
That lonely youngster didn't look up, he just watched the portable ultra-thin TV screen on his laps, he l
ooked at that purple hair girl on the screen, in the light of the light rays, and he had the tears all over his face.
Long time later, the movie melody of the end sounded up, this called Sheilor youngster looked up, narrowed his that pair sincere and honest eyes, wiped off the tears from the face and the drool from the corners of the mouth, and said with an abnormally serious tone, "Jane Sue... Really is... Too beautiful! I... Must... Marry her... As my wife... In the future!"
