In the past world, Zhang Ming was an ordinary office worker. He went to work and looked forward to getting off work. After getting off work, he became a dead house, playing games and animation in a rental house. He didn't even know who his neighbors were...
Although there is only a wall between people, they are actually separated by a world.
But now, he is really separated from human civilization by a world.
The only person I can talk to is this drift bottle.
It's amazing how a raw letter can be so exciting.
"Hello, Brother Zhang, I am Wang Fumin. I am very happy that you can send the drift bottle back. This means that we have a reliable and long-term communication method."
"Although the delivery time is a bit long, maybe 14 months, I still hope to be able to help you solve some problems."
"In the past year, Lu Tuyu and I have become militiamen in border cities, digging trenches and building walls every day."
"The fighting on the border is getting more and more intense, and a large number of refugees are fleeing to our side every day. If it is not a last resort, we are really unwilling to point our guns at our fellow human beings. Food is continuously transported out and humanitarian assistance is provided. But there’s never enough to feed the people outside.”
"Sea levels are rising. Fortunately, as precipitation increases, some inland deserts can farm again, but they can barely maintain a food balance."
"How long this life will last, no one knows."
"Of course, this is just my personal emotion. Compared with your difficult life, we are extremely happy here."
"One more special little thing. After eating the crab meat you sent, neither of us activated our superpowers. It's really a pity."
"A society where people with superpowers are at the top seems to be coming tomorrow, which makes people feel confused and overwhelmed. It may be difficult for you to imagine how the situation has changed now, right?"
"(Some things I saw and heard)..."
"Most of the contents in the bottles are seeds begged from old farmers. There will be no problem of variety degradation. You can save the seeds yourself and then sow and plant them."
"If you need anything else, please let me know in your reply."
"May you have a happy life. Wang Fumin"
Most of Wang Fumin's letters describe small personal matters.
In the era of superpowers, the original social rules have been broken, and the little people can only drift with the tide in the big era.
He looked at the lower right corner of the letter paper again and saw that the letter was written before he taught the "Human Breathing Technique", so it is not surprising that he has such regrets.
Zhang Ming had heard similar news on the radio, but he still sighed at this moment, "It's okay. Now with human breathing technology, the class problem between ordinary people and superpowers has been solved a lot. If you want to really solve it, , only the so-called communist stage can do this."
From the small bottle, I was pleasantly surprised to take out small plastic bags, which contained seeds of common crops such as wheat, corn, rice, vegetables, and brassicas. The labels also contained rough planting instructions.
"For wheat, dry the seeds three days before sowing. The suitable sowing depth is 3 centimeters. It takes about 8 months to mature and requires 400 to 600 millimeters of precipitation. Be careful not to let it be blown over by the wind."
"For green vegetables, just dry the seeds and sprinkle them on the soil. They don't have high environmental requirements and can be eaten in about 20 days. You have to save the seeds and wait for them to bloom, then select the ones with the best growth conditions."
"Brassica oleifera, commonly known as rapeseed, its seeds can be used to extract oil. The young stems, leaves and pedicels are used as vegetables; the seeds are used medicinally, promoting blood circulation, dispersing knots and reducing swelling; the leaves can be applied externally to treat carbuncles."
And onion seeds!
"Onions usually germinate in three to five days and can be eaten in about half a month. When they are first planted, they should be exposed to less sunlight, and then increase the light after the growth is stable. They like a humid environment during the seedling stage, so water them in time."
Looking at the dark pixels, Zhang Ming was elated and grinned.
Even the hair stood on end!
Today, when seafood is the main ingredient, it is really hard to live without onions, ginger, and garlic!
Finally, there is a packet of...little yeast powder!
"Yeast is needed to make wine and steamed buns. It is recommended to grow grain first and make wine. The yeast in the lees can be reused."
"The basic brewing method is copied below. If you need anything else, please let me know..."
"It's been a big help, Lao Wang. I will treat you to a drink when I get back!" Zhang Ming was moved to tears, holding the bag of seeds, his whole body shaking and trembling.
Is there a better gift in the world than this?
there is none left.
Each seed weighs less than 10 grams. It is recorded in happy times and exists like a particle of dust, but it is more precious than anything else.
Zhang Ming could not wait to start farming immediately and live a happy life of natural civilization, harmony, prosperity.
Most of the space in the drift bottle is filled with these seeds. Zhang Ming was like a fool, laughing non-stop, confusing Shi Mama who was stuck on his butt!
Shimama wanted to repeat his silly smile.
But I always felt that simply rereading would not only fail to annoy Zhang Ming, but would also make him happier.
The repeater was so anxious that it couldn't laugh at Zhang Ming, it was so anxious!
…
After taking out all the seeds, there are still two thin pieces of letter paper inside.
Zhang Ming couldn't wait to take it out and read it carefully.
One of the letters was written by Lu Tuyu. Lu Tuyu and Wang Fumin have completely different personalities, and their writing styles are naturally different.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, hello. Are there any good things on the island? I see there are a lot of mutant creatures on that island. Have you found any strange things?"
"Come on whatever you want, send some treasures over, and we'll be financially free and just lie down!"
"Okay, no kidding, Lao Wang is preparing various seeds for you, and we are not idle here either. We took some time off to visit your parents."
"That ticket is so damn expensive. It will use up half a month of my welfare allowance! Brother, it's not too much for you to reimburse me, right?"
Zhang Ming scratched his scalp, feeling adrenaline surge and his pupils dilated.
He... finally heard the news from his parents!
There are some things that he doesn't want to know, but... he can't do anything about them even if he knows them.
"What was the result? Guess?"
"It was all in vain, your parents would have moved away long ago!"
"The neighbors said that your parents were picked up by government agents. The neighbors are discussing that the person in Mirage No. 16 may be you!"
"But the problem is not too big. The figures in the mirage are blurry and the real appearance cannot be seen. There are probably tens of thousands of candidates on the Internet. I highly doubt that the government has created fog bombs. As long as there are too many rumors and rumors To a certain extent, even if there is a real person mixed in, no one will believe it.”
"This is pretty good, it's a kind of protection."
Zhang Ming slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He had no special thoughts about becoming famous.
What is the meaning of being famous when others are on a desert island?
In fact, if you are too famous, your family will be jealous.
Maybe a spy, a killer, or some mad scientist kidnapped his relatives and demanded ransom from the government.
As long as your family is well protected, you will be content.
Lu Tuyu continued in the letter: "I have inquired about many places. Your parents and your sister may have gone to the industrial city in the west, Tiepan City. It is currently a key development city with higher terrain and is not prone to earthquakes. There are many, and there are natural resources such as coal and steel in the surrounding area. Whether it is life or work, there is a relatively high security, and it may be the future capital."
"So, you don't have to worry too much."
"Of course, I won't go to this western city. Because the ticket is too expensive and our vacation is limited. If you don't reimburse us, we will have to drink northwest wind next month."
There is a blank space behind the letter paper.
In the end, there is still no specific information about the parents...
Lao Zhang felt lost in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he found that Shimama was stuck to his buttocks and was as hot as lava. He quickly threw the guy out.
"What are you doing? Go, go! I won't tell you anything."
The angry Shimama had no choice but to bully other turtles.
When Zhang Ming wanted to put down the letter, he found some words written on the back.
Lu Tuyu wrote in the letter: "I'm here already, damn, it's so annoying!"
"I couldn't find your family, I didn't complete the task, and I was irritated. I bit the bullet and bought a train ticket to Tiepan City. How about a surprise? Just send Buddha to the west, I have to Figure this out so you don’t have to worry about it all the time.”
Zhang Ming's adrenaline was so high that his face turned rosy!
"It's such a big city and you're not familiar with the place. It's very difficult for me to find your family."
"If you go to the police station and ask, since your family is protected by the government, they may arrest me as a spy or something. It will be very troublesome to explain at that time. Because I don't want to reveal the secret of the drift bottle to the government."
"But I came up with a good idea. Since your sister is going to take the college entrance examination, why don't I just go to school and look for her? I'm such a genius!"
"According to the government's way of doing things, your sister will definitely be placed in the best high school in the area. It can't be a too bad high school, right?"
"So, I followed this idea and found a transfer student who has been in school for two and a half months, your sister."
"To be honest, she is quite cute. She is a short-haired girl. She is about 1.6 meters tall. She is not too tall and has a little baby fat. High school students are indeed full of vitality."
Zhang Ming could see the veins on his temples jumping wildly. This guy didn't want to pick up his sister, right?
What kind of two-dimensional adjective is this?
How can you describe it like this!
The relationship between Zhang Ming and his sister...
How should I put it, so-so.
They have no common language and no common hobbies. Even to watch TV, they have to grab the remote control.
In the two-dimensional world, my sister may be the cutest creature in the world.
But in the three-dimensional world, my sister is the most hateful creature, bar none.
However, I missed seeing the most abominable creature for so long.
Lu Tuyu continued in the letter: "I don't want to expose the fact that the drift bottle exists. After all, it belongs to Lao Wang. I can't reveal it to your sister at will. It's a matter of principle."
"So I lied to your sister: I am a staff member of a national agency, and I am trying to find a way to use a large drone to contact you in the mysterious area and ask her to write you a letter."
"Then, she actually believed it! Her eyes turned red and she wiped her tears there. It was obvious that she missed you very much and was worried about your safety."
"Then, I went to your house for dinner. Your parents are both employees of state-owned enterprises, and they are still junior leaders. In this era, there are people who work within the system, and they are doing pretty well."
"I witnessed it with my own eyes, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, the above is a small effort made by an ordinary person in a big era."
"After I finished these things, I took the car back directly. My vacation is quite limited, so I can't stay here for too long."
"After eating crab meat, I didn't awaken my superpower. It's really annoying. But it's okay. There are always some things in the world that I can do. Remember to reimburse me, Lao Zhang, don't be stingy !”
Reading this letter made Zhang Ming's blood pressure soar, and he felt a vague sense of sadness, so that for a while, his mind went blank.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, it is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.
As a lonely person outside the circle of civilization, a sad person who cannot cross this natural chasm no matter how hard he tries.
Suddenly, he discovered that there were people in the civilized circle, running around to serve him, shouting loudly from the other side of the chasm: "We are here!"
"Hey, do you hear that?"
Even a letter was sent over.
Be concrete people, not abstract people.
If someone is willing to do this, that is friendship. Traveling thousands of miles and spending a lot of money is just to help him confirm the living conditions of his family. That is a huge affection, and there is nothing to question.
Looking at it this way, Lu Tuyu is indeed a man of temperament.
No wonder Wang Fumin, the owner of the drift bottle, is willing to share the big secret with him.
Zhang Ming took a deep breath. He felt that his mental state was a little unstable, so he could only pause and calm down a little.
The next letter was written by my sister. There were quite a few omissions and corrections, which meant that she was in a very nervous state when she wrote the letter.
"Brother, someone said today that he is a member of a state agency and can deliver the letter to you."
"Whether he is true or not, I am willing to write you a letter. Anyway, he doesn't want money and won't lose anything."
"Our whole family... miss you very much. (Crossing it all over again, seemingly out of embarrassment)"
"When I first saw you hitting a crab on the mirage, I suspected that it might be you. Because the scene of hitting the crab was exactly the same as when you hit me with a stick when you were a kid!"
"Later, when we received the notice from the government, we were all shocked. My mother burst into tears, and my father was also crying. We thought you were dead."
"But looking at it now, you are living a good life. We worried for nothing. Please hold on until the day when the national rescue team arrives. There really is a rescue team!"
