Chapter 34
In the starlight little girl

Before he left West River state, Sheilor had been to the fourth block once in the dusk, took a look at his dear repair shop from far away, he was astounded to find out that the whole building where the repair shop was located in had already been burnt to ruins. He didn’t need to understand how the Federation explained to the society, he just could tell it very easily, the garrison command of the East Forest launched the attack at his boss with the heavy firepower, compared it with the B4 marching formation of the mecha squad which that colonel was subordinated to, Sheilor felt the cold in his heart, he didn’t know how many big shots wanted to kill his boss in the Federation after all, and what’s the matter about the treason name carried on his boss.
But Sheilor didn’t have the extravagant hopes to investigate this case with the help of the disguise chip, he didn’t have the thought to launder the charge or avenge for his boss. On the one hand, because those words his boss said in the end had already warned him badly. On the other hand, he knew it clearly, the present him was also just a common small potato, he’s too far from the secrets of the federal top drawer, it’s so far that he even couldn’t look up at it.
Standing on the empty cement level ground of the garrison command airport, Sheilor turned his back to take a look at this familiar planet once again, had a deep breath, the thick straight-cut like the knife eyebrows also seemed soft and smooth a lot, and it seemed that he couldn’t suffer from the sorrow of leaving. With the identity of a retired soldier, got on the pass-by spacecraft, left the East Forest Region and went to the Capital Planet Circle, this seemed to be his dream for the last more than ten years, but when his dream was fulfilled with another strange way, Sheilor still had the feeling like frustrated in dream.
The identity verification and the security check had already completed before he came into the garrison command, the now Sheilor was no more that scared like a month ago, he could calmly face the omnipresent electronic monitoring network now. He lowered his head and walked into the transfer cabin, and still didn’t forget to have a smile at the soldiers at the doorway.
These soldiers were the West Forest people, they were responsible for the safety affairs of that commercial spacecraft which was overhead of the East Forest Region. After a month of time, the friendly visit between the West Forest Region and the East Forest Region was over, they reached a package of mutual beneficial agreements, confirmed the aid affairs from the West Forest to the East Forest, those important officials had already been back to the spacecraft now, and were going to step on the long way home, and the cargo ship which Sheilor got into was the last space ground transfer cabin.

Climbing up, the tremendous impelling force pushed Sheilor to the seatback tightly, the congestive feeling in the head was also very strange to him, the never experienced space travel him, felt the fresh stimulation and a little bit fear. In the full of goods cargo cabin, besides him, there was no other people, didn’t know how the disguise chip which uncle Fengyu made was set up, this retired soldier also didn’t have anyone to pay attention to, except the huge noise reminded him that he was leaving his hometown.
Far away from the ground, when it got closed to the distance of thirty thousand meters, Sheilor finally relaxed down, according to the prompt of the electronic equipment in the cabin, he adjusted the seat position, and then had the extra energy to observe the flight deck which he was in.
It’s different from his boyhood imagination, the representing the human civilization level spacecraft was not so pretty, even if it’s just a space transfer cabin, it still seemed a bit too rough, there’s not any covers on the exposed metal objects on the cabin wall, he even could see the electrical system in the pipeline, the smell of the engine oil was full of the cabin. Looked at this scene, Sheilor couldn’t help to be somewhat surprised, he wondered whether what the fuck this was a broken old truck indeed, or it’s a very sophisticated high-tech product?
Twenty seconds later, Sheilor lost the most beginning sense of freshness and curiosity, the physiological impact brought by the load began to appear, he had a bit of shortness of breath, but fortunately he had been trained by uncle Fengyu in the last four years, compared with the first common traveler, his adaptation was quick enough, and his expression was calm enough.
He noticed that outside of the spacecraft window, there were some floating red light dust and reflecting metallic space trashes began to keep sweeping past, in principle, at the current this height, it shouldn’t have this many space trashes. Sheilor also didn’t have any ideas in his mind, he just watched quietly, kept watching for a long, long time, then the spacecraft seemed to get through this strange dust area, and was also really out of the gravity of the East Forest planet.
Could loose the constraint belt on the body now, according to the prompt, Sheilor left the seat carefully, he felt the taste of the weightlessness fancifully, had the happy smile emerged on his face, swung his arms just like a fish, slowly swam to the side of the porthole, and put the hands on the edge of the window. He didn’t know whether the spaceship was flying to the direction of the star, the light outside of the window was extremely bright, shined the whole cabin into the white as the silver.
This kind of bright silver light shined that bracelet on Sheilor’s left wrist abnormally clear, even some of those originally very light and hard to find marks were shown. Sheilor lowered his head and looked over, then he found there were two lines of small characters carved on the edge of the bracelet. He hadn’t found this in these days, so he was somewhat surprised and read it out in a soft voice subconsciously:
“There are two things can deeply shock people’s hearts in this world, one is the lofty moral code in our hearts, another is the brilliant starry sky over our head-- Kant.”
Sheilor wanted to touch his head, but found that he swung his hand a bit hard in the zero gravity environment, hit the head, and felt some pains. He looked at these two lines of words sullenly, he didn’t know who Kant was, he also was not very clear about what this seemingly full of philosophy sentence really wanted to express. But he still had a kind of strange feeling rushed in his heart, this feeling maybe was called warm blood, or maybe is called sublime?
Drew his eyes back from the lines of words, Sheilor looked at the universe outside of the window, the ready to greedily absorb the beautiful scenery youngster had his pupils shrunk suddenly, because the scenery outside was out of his imagination, didn’t know how many stars just like the sesames on the pie, spread all over the vast universe, the silver starlight didn’t have even a flash, and covered the surroundings like the holy light!
Sheilor looked at this scene agape, he grew up in the East Forest Region, just could see a few poor stars in the night, how could he be possible to know that the real starry sky outside of the atmosphere was this beautiful and this dazzling!
Suddenly, Sheilor’s body fell onto the ground heavily, the fall made him pains all over, because he was shocked by the sea of stars outside of the window, didn’t notice the prompt of the electronic equipment reminded him that the docking was successful, the gravity was reset and please go back to the constraint seat.
Five minutes later, the cabin door was opened finally, the like a drowned mouse Sheilor climbed up from the ground, found his backpack, and followed the reception personnel to walk into the real spacecraft.
Sheilor found that his eyes were somewhat not quite enough, once he thought of that actually it’s the endless abyss of the universe under his feet, then he had some weird feelings. Once he thought of that the equipments and instruments he saw were all the high grade goods only could be seen in the books, then he even had some instinct excitements slightly.
“The Ministry of National Defense is really stingy.” That responsible for leading him the way soldier was not strange about Sheilor’s expression, shrugged his shoulders and patte
d on Sheilor’s shoulder with the comfort nature, “although we would really pass by the Capital planet, but the Ministry of National Defense would even save this kind of copper coins incredibly… I can’t helped you, the rooms are all full, we only can make you suffer to live in the area 32.”
“No problem.” Sheilor nodded his head, this was the spacecraft of the West Forest, not the own troopship of the Ministry of National Defense, it’s not that bad to have his own room.
In the deserted area 32, the alone Sheilor carried the backpack and stood by the huge porthole, looked at that far away East Forest planet, heaved a sigh, and was ready to find his own room. Suddenly he heard a very immature, clear and melodious, and letting people couldn’t help to take pity on voice coming from his back.
“Protect me.”
Sheilor turned his back with a rush, and then he opened his mouth widely, because he saw… A dressing in white pajamas and bathed in the silver starlight little girl, the little girl was about five or six years old, embraced a doll in her bosom, the innocent eyes filled with tears, and it seemed that she was releasing a kind of neat breath.
