Heroes of the Galaxy - Ge Xiaolun

Chapter 325: Resting Cheng Yaowen, Resting Ge Xiaolun

On a wide country road.

The flat cement ground was like a frying pan on a gas stove under the scorching sun, with heat rising continuously.

It's very hot, as hot as a dog.

Not only is it hot, it's also very lively today.

Countless vendors came here early to set up stalls, selling fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, electrical appliances, furniture, and everything else.

It was noon, when the sun was at its strongest, and there were still many people here because there was a market every four days and many people came out to see if there was anything they needed.

Cheng Yaowen was walking behind his mother, carrying a lot of bags in his hands.

Cheng Yaowen's mother is a frugal person. Every time she buys something, she bargains with others in a loud voice.

The sellers were all experienced people, and they also bargained at the top of their lungs. It looked like they were arguing, but in fact, they didn't say much. In the end, the sellers always compromised.

Then Cheng Yaowen had another bag of things in his hand.

Seeing his mother always showing a satisfied smile after leaving the stall, Cheng Yaowen said with a smile:

"Mom, it's not like our family is short of money."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a severe criticism from his old mother.

"Just because I have money means you can mess with me, right?"

"You only spend money, when will you save money to marry me a wife?"

Cheng Yaowen nodded with a wry smile after hearing this. There was nothing he could do. The older generation's urging for marriage had become a routine, and as long as this was brought up, he had nothing to say.

Carrying big and small bags of things, she walked from the east to the west of the village. The scorching sun could not stop my mother who was determined to buy things.

However, for Cheng's mother, it is rare for her son to come home, so it would be nice to accompany him to the market so that he doesn't have to stay bored at home all the time.

Every time she passed a stall, the familiar faces she knew seemed very strange to Cheng Yaowen.

Then comes showing off and praising.

"Oh! His aunt, are you here for the market? Is this Ah Wen? He looks really strong. Didn't he say he was going to the army? Why are you back?"

Greeting + praising + asking = Cheng Yaowen has a headache.

Cheng Yaowen was numb from hearing these words today. He could only smile and agree with a few words, because he really didn't know what to call each other as relatives, so he called all men uncles and all women aunts.

When Cheng's mother heard someone praising her son, the smile on her face was warmer than the sun, and then they started chatting. Finally, thinking that they had to go to the market to buy things, they went their own way into the crowd.

Cheng's mother's mouth never drooped throughout the day, and she would hum a tune while cooking at home.

Cheng Yaowen also enjoyed this day because he didn't have to worry about anything. The only thing he worried about was whether the vegetable garden behind the house needed watering, whether he needed weeding, and whether he needed fertilizer in the corn field.

Anyway, I don’t have to worry about official business, war, or the remnants of Denor.

He also didn't expect that this phenomenon of going to the market still exists today.

The rapid advancement of science and technology has focused on the military, and the popularization of many aspects of civilian life cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

This is actually quite good, Cheng Yaowen thought, and then...

Seeing Cheng Yaowen in a daze, Cheng's mother raised her fist and tapped Cheng Yaowen on the head.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and take out the fish. We'll cook it for dinner."

"Okay." Cheng Yaowen replied with a smile.

Then he skillfully used a kitchen knife to cut the fish open, took out the heart and lungs, removed the gills, and used tap water from the pipe to clean it again. He quickly cleaned the fish inside and out.

At dinner time in the evening, Cheng's father brought back a bottle of wine, Fenjiu, and a table full of dishes.

Today is the Chinese New Year.

After having a good meal and a drink, Cheng Yaowen lay on the kang and looked at the starry sky outside through the glass. He finally understood why the leader wanted to give him a holiday to rest.

This is his home now.

Those painful memories are just memories after all. Memories are meant to allow people to learn from past experiences and lessons to change themselves and pursue a better future.

……

Huaguoshan.

Ge Xiaolun woke up. He had not slept for very long, only 26 hours, but he had the illusion that he didn't know what year it was.

Maybe he didn't get enough sleep, or maybe he hadn't slept for too long. After opening his eyes, the heaviness and severe pain in his head and the dryness in his throat forced Ge Xiaolun, who was not fully awake, to get up and find water.

The people in the base were very considerate. There was a water dispenser in the room. Ge Xiaolun picked up a cup upside down on the table, filled it with water and drank it all in one gulp.

It was not enough to quench my thirst, so I drank four or five more cups in a row. My stomach felt a little bloated, and the dry cough in my throat gradually subsided.

Ge Xiaolun staggered back to the bed and fell down.

Isn’t it infuriating? He was obviously very sleepy when he just woke up, but he became energetic again after lying down.

Closing his eyes and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Ge Xiaolun sighed and simply rested his head on the pillow, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Very good, the sleepiness that had just dissipated came back with a groggy head, and my eyes became heavy again and slowly closed.

boom!

There was a sound of a door slamming.

Ge Xiaolun suddenly felt murderous intent.

His bloodshot eyes looked towards the door of the room. If it wasn't Brother Monkey who came, then this person would definitely be in bad luck!

Unfortunately... it’s Monkey King who’s here.

"Are you awake, kid?" Sun Wukong asked Ge Xiaolun, who had his eyes open.

Ge Xiaolun let out a long sigh, "Brother Monkey, don't you usually go into Ali's room without knocking?"

"It was that girl who came into my room." Sun Wukong said with a smile.

Ge Xiaolun supported his body with his arms and sat on the bed. He had just drunk a lot of water and was awakened by the shock, so he was not in a very good mood.

"How come you're still tired after sleeping?"

Sun Wukong looked at Ge Xiaolun's tired eyes and smiled.

Ge Xiaolun didn't say anything and narrowed his eyes again.

Sun Wukong saw this and did not interrupt. "You take your time. I'll go tell them."

After saying that, Sun Wukong left the room.

Ge Xiaolun closed his eyes and took another nap. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the sound of light footsteps and friction.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that Liu Chuang, Qilin, Mengmeng, Qiangwei, Zhao Xin, Lianfeng, Zhixin, Yuqin, Sun Wukong, and Ahri had all entered the room at some point.

Ge Xiaolun subconsciously hugged his quilt tightly.

"No... why are you pushing me like that?" Ge Xiaolun felt a little numb from being stared at by everyone.

Lianfeng looked at Yuqin.

Yuqin nodded, and then a long zither appeared in her hand. Her slender hands plucked the strings twice, and a musical sound rang out, surrounding Ge Xiaolun.

"No problem, Xiaolun is just a little tired. He will be fine after some rest."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Liu Chuang looked at Ge Xiaolun and said, "When you came in just now, your eyes were glowing red. We all thought you were going to explode."

Qilin asked worriedly, "Xiaolun, where have you been these past two years? Did something happen to you?"

Ge Xiaolun laughed out loud, "Oh, I thought it was something else. I went to talk to that fart god, the one who instigated the Taotie to invade the earth."

"It's okay, give me some space, I'll get down first."

The bed was surrounded by people, and he had no place to stand when he wanted to get out of bed.

Hearing Ge Xiaolun's words, several people made way for him to get out of bed.

After getting out of bed, Ge Xiaolun looked at everyone and coughed twice.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

Everyone nodded.

The conference room at Huaguoshan Base.

"I won't hold a meeting. Although I haven't been on Earth for the past two years, my Qiankun has been monitoring Earth's development."

"The things I left behind and the technology provided by the angels are mainly aimed at military weapons technology."

"We don't need to rush. We can take it step by step, starting from Asia and gradually expanding to other regions."

"besides……"

"Xiao Lun." Lian Feng interrupted Ge Xiao Lun's speech.

Ge Xiaolun was a little surprised, thinking that Lianfeng had something urgent to do or something big had happened.

"What's wrong, Sister Lianfeng? Did something big happen?"

"Were the Gentiles difficult to manage before? Or have there been another riot? Or have some Trianguloids smuggled themselves to Earth?"

Lianfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then waved his hand to tell Ge Xiaolun to stop talking.

Only then did Ge Xiaolun shut up and listen to what Lianfeng had to say.

Qilin, Liu Chuang and others looked at each other and looked at Ge Xiaolun with complicated expressions.

It seemed that they had become accustomed to Ge Xiaolun's busyness without knowing when.

Maybe it started from the moment he joined the team. Back then, Ge Xiaolun was already busy with training, research, socializing with angels, fighting off demons, developing equipment, developing potions, and arming the troops...

In short, they didn't realize how busy Ge Xiaolun was at the time.

Until just now, when they came to Ge Xiaolun's resting room and saw Ge Xiaolun's tired expression, the dark circles under his eyes, and the lavender light in his eyes that could not be hidden even with his eyes closed, they couldn't help but recall how they looked when they first met Ge Xiaolun.

The confident, charming Ge Xiaolun who always did everything calmly and a bit of a loser has now disappeared.

How could one describe Ge Xiaolun now? His eyes were still as resolute, but his face had aged, even his stubble was patchy. That was about it, with the dark circles under his eyes. "Now that you're back, take a break. Don't worry about the Triangle War anymore; we can handle it all," Lianfeng said.

After hearing this, Ge Xiaolun tilted his head and several question marks appeared in his mind.

Qilin also said at this time: "Xiaolun, take a rest. You have been tired enough in the past few years. Don't put all the pressure on yourself." After hearing this, Qilin and the others nodded and advised Ge Xiaolun to take a rest.

Ge Xiaolun was stunned. "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Sister Yuqin. What happened to me?"

"That's not right. I checked my body and there's nothing wrong with me."

"His mental state is stable and no adverse reactions have occurred."

Yuqin smiled and said, "It's nothing. You haven't been back to Earth for two and a half years, and everyone wants you to take advantage of this time when you come back to rest."

"Some things are certainly important, but we also need to balance work and rest, right?"

After hearing this, Ge Xiaolun smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't say I was tired, and time is really tight right now."

"It's not that I didn't tell you, but the God of Death, Karl, is preparing to create an era without life, dragging the void into the known universe."

"You don't understand what the void is, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time. The main point is that when the void descends, all life in the universe will be swallowed by the void."

"Letting the universe step into the world of dead souls and explore that damn eternity is the purpose of the God of Death Carl."

"Now it's time for Carl and I to race. I was thinking of coming back to rest for a while, and then helping you guys sort out the affairs on Earth so that we can quickly start studying the void."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion after listening to Ge Xiaolun's explanation, only Lianfeng frowned when he heard the word "void".

Liu Chuang then said, "Xiao Lun, that void you mentioned...isn't there anything we can do about it?"

Ge Xiaolun thought for a moment and said, "It's not that you can't deal with it, it's that you have absolutely no way to face it."

"Well, no life form in the main world can face the void directly. When you face the void, your basic information and material form will be instantly decomposed."

"I don't have to worry about that because I have the ability to resist the void..."

"Well, anyway, what I mean is that I'm the only one who can defeat the Void right now, so I can't rest now. But you don't have to worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

Qilin was a little frustrated after hearing this. "So that means we still can't help you, right?"

Ge Xiaolun smiled and said, "It's not that absolute. You can't deal with the void, but you need to deal with the monsters that come out of the void."

"Those monsters that don't belong to this dimension will be assimilated by the material laws of the universe after they descend. I need you to help me eliminate these monsters so that I can focus on dealing with the void."

Liu Chuang suddenly thought of the big eyeball that had passed before his eyes, "Is it something that looks like a big eyeball?"

Ge Xiaolun nodded, "Chuangzi, your God-killing power has extraordinary potential. You will be very useful in dealing with void creatures."

"And Brother Monkey, if the Void really descends, it will be up to you and Chuangzi to lead the team to deal with them."

Sun Wukong nodded. "I'm fine, but if that thing you mentioned comes, the best we can do is save the Earth."

"If all other civilizations in the universe were destroyed, even if we managed to save Earth temporarily, the final outcome would be..."

Ge Xiaolun knew what Sun Wukong meant, "That's something I need to consider, Monkey Brother, you don't have to worry about it."

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Ge Xiaolun said confidently.

There was nothing more to persuade the crowd.

At this time, Zhi Xin said, "Um... My dear, why don't you call our Queen back first... Our Queen called you many times before, but you didn't answer..."

When Ge Xiaolun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He then realized that Xiongxin's notification sound had turned off by itself.

It’s broken, it’s going to happen!

"Ahem, um... Is there anything important here on Earth? If not, I'll go get busy first."

After saying that, Ge Xiaolun quickly stood up and left the meeting room.

"Xiao Lun is still dominated by his wife." Liu Chuang said at this time.

"Hahahaha, little Lunfu Gang is feeling down~ Ouch~hiss——!"

As Zhao Xin opened his mouth to laugh, his waist was twisted.

"Why are you twisting my waist?" Zhao Xin asked blankly.

Liu Chuang and Qilin also laughed at this time: "Master Xin, your husband's situation is not much better."
