Chapter 2
The Sprout Of The Day After
In the shrouded in the hero halo for decades manor of the Philadelphia Lee family, that incomparably respected by the federal citizens god of the military, once was serious to consider to take care of that poor and innocent little apprenticeship, except that in the information of the central computer of the Charter Bureau, that little apprenticeship had already died, so everyone of the federation thought that little apprenticeship was impossible still alive affirmatively.
Of course Sheilor didn’t die, he also didn’t know the Philadelphia Lee family had tried to find him and take care of him, he even impossible thought of uncle Fengyu would have any relation with the Philadelphia Lee family, even that full mouth rotten teeth, incredibly… Were knocked off by lord god of the military. If he knew about these striking keyhole reports, would he touch Fengyu’s rotten teeth with the worship eyes in those days? If he knew all of these, maybe he would understand, why in the like blood twilight over the mine, when uncle Fengyu talked about that all federal people respected old man, he would use the old man those words without any respect.
Now Sheilor was having his meal in a crude three floor small building, he used the fork and knife to cut the buffalo meat in the plate with difficulty, time to time raised his head to take a look at that with unstable lines and could broken any time TV on the wall, the news on the TV was still telling the things about the senator election of the local state management committee, also mentioned that secret action in the East Forest Region. Any secret action of the federation, could possible be labeled the black curtain by the opposition senators, with George Colin doctrine, shout themselves hoarse to criticize hardly. But as the party Sheilor didn’t have this kind of interest, he knew uncle’s death had the black curtain, but that black curtain should had already fallen down many years ago. The buffalo meat in the plate was very hard, that was searched out by him yesterday, didn’t know was frozen for how many years, didn’t have any delicate flavor of the meat, but fortunately didn’t go bad incredibly, had it into the mouth like a piece of wood to digest, to Sheilor, it was still a bit better than those synthetic food. It’s the end of the summer at this time, the just fixed by him air-conditioning system began to deliver the cool wind, but still not enough time to drive away the summer heat, he wiped off the sweat from the forehead, finished the buffalo meat in the plate with the fastest speed, had a touch on the belly, with some dissatisfactions to walk into the house, began to pick around and remember those fragmentary things.
This three floor small building, from the information of the government land management bureau to see, belonged to Sheilor. Changed another way to say, here was the retired soldier Sheilor’s old house. The Pear Garden university began to have the summer vocation from mid June, Sheilor brought out the bought for a long time air ticket, stepped on the journey to go back his “old house”, for living more safely in the federation, he might need to know where his old house was, tried his best to be familiar with the local life and custom situation, or even his accent, then he couldn’t give the trick out as less as possible. Shielding could tell he was a man with secret hands down, Sheilor had to be more cautious a bit. But he didn’t think of, the “old house” uncle arranged for him in the disguise chip was so far away, from the Coastal state airport sat for seven hours of plane, and then sat for eleven hours greyhound bus, at the end still walked for whole half day, he then came to this small town.
He had stayed in this small town for several days, he had more shocked for uncle Fengyu’s ability, choosing this small town was really too fantastic, no talked about its faraway, and because of the debris flow in recent years, the vast majority of the residents had already moved into the new developed habitation by the state government. Even those several still stayed in the town residents, mostly also forgot whom that three floor small building belonged to… Couldn’t be said passable thing, right? Actually just the heavy load of the life, let the few residents, lost all the interests to inquire about the gossips, and the town primary school and the town middle school had already shut down several years ago, even let Sheilor besides the relieved, had the endless curiosity about Fengyu’s ability.
Could choose such a perfect disguise identity, might get into those very high level federal central computers to have a long time information screening, even represented that Fengyu had invaded that omniscient central computer of the Charter Bureau!
Sheilor took a bath, stood on the balcony, put the scene of the town and those peculiar plants into his mind firmly, at the same time, associated the things in the information with the reality to enhance the memory. He had a stroke on the metal on his wrist subconsciously, thought of inside those like stars chips on those tiny metal wires, one chip would represent a whole new unbeknown identity, if all were same like his present identity to be found the flaws, how long it would take for the preparation?
Thought of the hidden in the freezer for years buffalo meat, a sincere and full of pray meaning smile began to emerged on Sheilor that ordinary and sincere face.
…………
…………
Finished the summer back to the hometown trip, through the long and hard way, Sheilor came back to the Coastal university town again. This trip besides let him to have more confirmations about his new identity, also let his spirit to have some impacts. Up until now, he just knew, the East Forest Region was not the poorest place of the federation, that called Brightness little town, was really poor on top of the world.
He couldn’t understand the rich and developed federation, especially on the planet the core of the Capital Planet Circle, how could have such a place, even still had the farmer this kind of occupation, not performed on the stage that kind… Once he thought of that couple brother and sister he had met, Sheilor had a deeper layer of cognition about the injustice of this society, just he didn’t understand how on earth this kind of injustice would come, and should how to solve it. But in the sub consciousness, he still didn’t have any good feeling to the federal government, instead had some curiosity and fuzzy cognition to the anti-government force.
The early September, the campus of the Pear Garden university was opened once again, Sheilor began to have the boring back and forth movement between the teaching building and the gate house again. The engineering course foundation teaching of the Pear Garden really had the strength not compatible with its fame, Sheilor absorbed those knowledge eagerly, such like the working principle of the Peasant brand high energy battery, the data conjunction parameter of the three systems in the enclosed construction, the electron auto spring layer rule of the crystal mineral in the illumination condition…
Tomorrow he would begin to go into the laboratory building, to have the learning by doing. Sheilor once thought of this, then felt the skin on his hand began itching, left the East Forest, left the operation room in the mine had been more than one years, besides made a electric shock stick to protect himself, hadn’t touched those electron plates, pipelines, metal… That kind of great feeling and the light high energy plastic smell, really made him miss very much.
“What are you thinking? Thinking about the thing that going to have the application for the Upper Forest Nutshell company in the future?” A deep and chilly voice pulled Sheilor out from the thinking. He stopped the rubbing hands funny move astounded, looked at that wearing black frame glasses female student on the other side of the table, somewhat awkwardly to have a smile, “Was thinking about tomorrow’s experimental, whether professor Chow would let us mounting equipments do-it-ourselves.”
Yes, in the quiet university life, the biggest change in Sheilor’s life probably would be on the other side of the table this used to wearing the black frame glasses, gentle and quiet, clean and pure, or even somewhat ice-cold female student.
When that black ghost car drove into the Pear Garden, Sheilor and Charming two people had already recognized each other, and also from that day on, they would meet in the campus occasionall
y, with the increase of the nodding head and saying greeting, they began to sit down to have the meals together. Although it drew the puzzled eyes of a lot of people, didn’t know why the good family property Charming would walk this close with a small porter and auditor. Although Sheilor didn’t want to be the public focus, but he still liked to sit together with Charming more.
Charming looked at the dork on the other side, heaved a sigh in her heart. The monitoring squad of the FBI finally withdrew after maintained for a semester, the students of the campus also got used to her comeback from the S2, everything was back to serenity. But that target she wanted to contact seemed to disappear in the campus forever, if it’s quiet like this any longer, she would even have some doubt whether she had really become a pure student.
Having meals with Sheilor together, didn’t mean anything in her opinion, she just felt that a retired soldier while working as a porter, auditing in the school, wanted to go into the Nutshell company to be a mechanic engineer in the future, he was really a very hard young man, she admired this point very much.
At the same time, she wanted to buy Sheilor a few more meals, perhaps because she had stolen his puppy biscuits before, and misunderstood him. And in her guessing, Sheilor’s economic condition might be not very good, as to why she met him on the airport bus, she thought that it was the welfare the Ministry of National Defense giving to the retired soldier…
“Next month has the bi-moon festival, the school has a dancing party.” Charming looked at him and said, “Need a male partner, would you like to go with me?”
After he heard the request, Sheilor didn’t open his mouth immediately. Charming stared at him quietly, didn’t know why she would suddenly put forward such a request like this, saw Sheilor didn’t open his mouth for a long time, she had some disappointment in her heart, not disappointed that he would refuse, but disappointed that Sheilor would retreat because of fearing those strange eyes, perhaps she would really go to attend that boring but had to attend party by herself.
“I have the money to buy the relatively appropriate clothes myself. If there is no your blind date object in the party, and also don’t have those go overboard for you people, you are not really need me to be your temporary boyfriend or shield.” Sheilor raised his head, said very seriously, “Then I would like to go with you.”
Heard so many preconditions, Charming was not angry, but laughed happily instead, a light flashed over on the lens of her glasses, very clearly.
