Chapter 14 The Chosen Tragedy
"Why did you stop me just now? Lao Jiang didn't spend all the money. I can explain to Aunt Li." After returning to the room, Lu Chuan immediately asked.
"It's not a matter of one or two yuan stones at all. The key is that Lao Jiang spent all the money." Huo Changge sat down again and started pouring wine into the glass.
"But if I hadn't used that piece of Yuan Stone, wouldn't there be only one left? In this way, the money would not be spent, and the two of them would not quarrel."
"That's not how the account is calculated. Lao Jiang clearly knows that he only has one Yuan Stone, so he shouldn't spend it all." Huo Changge raised his glass and drank it, "Is it difficult to understand? It doesn't matter if it's two Yuan Stones or one Yuan Stone.
, he shouldn’t even spend it all.”
"If you earn two yuan, you have to give one to your family. You can't say that your income is less this month. If you only earn one yuan, you won't give any money to your family. What's more, Lao Jiang still uses the money to take care of his subordinates' families, which is equivalent to doing charity.
Already."
The two brothers in the room fell into silence. Huo Changge poured wine for Lu Chuan, and the two clinked glasses and drank.
Lu Chuan admitted that what Huo Changge said made sense, but he still felt that Lao Jiang would not have spent all the money without him.
"Brother Huo, you just said that they had a good relationship before. Is it because of this incident that they became like this now?"
"This is very complicated to say." Huo Changge drank a lot of wine in a row, his mouth was a little sour, and he reached out to get something to eat from the snack box sent by Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo's snack box is filled with her favorite snacks, mung bean cakes, lotus cakes, as well as some nuts and candies.
Lu Chuan watched as the relaxed expression on Huo Changge's face slowly disappeared. In the end, he didn't take any snacks, but gently closed the box.
"Forget it, you've come here, you will know about this sooner or later." Huo Changge stood up with a serious face, and made continuous seals with his hands to strengthen the sound insulation of the room, and even used a talisman.
After finishing the arrangement, he turned around and asked a strange question, "Lu Chuan, what do you think about time travel?"
What do you think? I just sat and watched. I came here and I didn’t know how to go back.
But Huo Changge's serious expression prevented him from responding casually, so he thought for a while before answering:
"The first day I discovered Goldfinger, the first question I asked was whether I was already dead on Blue Star, and the result was that I was indeed dead.
So I think time travel is pretty good, at least I’m still alive now and I’ve met everyone here. Although this world is different from what I imagined, it’s still quite interesting.”
"Then have you ever thought about what happened to Lu Chuan in this world?"
Huo Changge's second question made Lu Chuan even more confused, but the other person asked it seriously, so he could only answer it seriously.
"He should be dead, too. But it's not something I can decide. I traveled through time without knowing what happened. If the original parents were still around, I would try my best to take care of them responsibly. Now that the original parents are
They have all passed away, so I can just live my life."
"I don't mean to accuse you. What I want to ask is, have you ever thought about how you would feel if someone around you, or even your relatives, were suddenly transported back in time one day?"
Huo Changge asked the third question. After asking, he filled himself up with wine and stuffed it into his mouth.
Lu Chuan somewhat understood what Huo Changge meant. If it were a relative around him, one day his body would be replaced by a completely unfamiliar soul, but he would still live under his skin and get along with himself. Just imagining it would be a task.
Something that can make one's scalp tingle.
He may no longer be ordinary in the days to come, he may become very successful, and he may still treat himself well, but he will never be the same person again.
But Lu Chuan still didn't know why Huo Changge asked him this question, and what this question had to do with the matter between Lao Jiang and Aunt Li they were talking about just now.
"The descendants of the chosen ones have a very high probability of being time-traveled on the day they turn sixteen."
Huo Changge said in a cold tone. He did not look up at Lu Chuan's shocked expression, but poured wine into the glass one glass after another. Finally, he became impatient and simply picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
...
Lu Chuan immediately thought of his junior sister Jiang Mo.
Lao Jiang, Aunt Li and Huo Changge all regard her as a treasure. Judging from their observations in the past few days, everyone's love and pampering for her can be seen to the naked eye.
Although this little junior sister has not said a word to him since he came here, the only thing she said about him was that she thought his singing was ugly.
But he also thought that maybe it was because the two of them hadn't gotten to know each other yet, and even so, Jiang Mo gave him a box of gifts tonight.
Maybe the two of them will get closer if they get along for a while. Maybe then she will call herself Lao Lu just like Huo Changge and Lao Huo?
"Is this matter...100% confirmed?" Lu Chuan asked softly.
"I also hope it's not true, but the examples are there. If possible, can you help confirm it with your hook tomorrow...Forget it, don't confirm it, don't test a bad one then
The news is even more desperate."
This was the first time Lu Chuan saw Huo Changge looking a little fragile. From the first meeting, this senior brother always gave people the impression that he was very confident and ready to go out and win at any time.
Huo Changge continued, "Five years ago, almost the second year after I came to this world, Tian Yao, the daughter of Tian Luyuan, the propaganda minister of Utopia, was just sixteen years old at the time. Minister Tian was very handsome and had a high emotional intelligence.
He was also the first to get married and have a daughter among all time travellers.
At that time, almost everyone in Utopia came to celebrate Tian Yao’s birthday, and then on the night of the birthday party, Tian Yao lost her memory.”
Lu Chuan silently picked up his glass and drank. He could imagine the situation and the panic at that time.
"She doesn't recognize Minister Tian or her mother Qin Qiuyue. Everyone thinks this naughty birthday girl is joking with everyone on her birthday.
But she really didn’t remember or recognize it, and then... it was a mess, and finally Minister Tian personally took action and used hypnosis, and then everyone knew that Tian Yao had been transported through time."
Huo Changge stopped and poured two more glasses of wine into his mouth before continuing:
"As you just said, the newly arrived Tian Yao did not do anything wrong. She also traveled through time without knowing it. But how do Minister Tian and Aunt Qin accept it? They have raised their daughter for sixteen years.
, obviously still alive, but already dead.
A happy family was destroyed. Aunt Qin later went crazy. The Department of Medicine saved her life, but she could never return to her original intellectual self. Minister Tian also resigned from the position of Propaganda Minister and went into seclusion.
Impacting the transcendent, hoping to crack the secret of time travel. The new Tian Yao can say that he has done nothing wrong, but he has shouldered everything."
Huo Changge said with a trembling voice, "There is not even an enemy in this matter, or in other words, we don't even know who the enemy is."
"From then until now, there are a total of sixty-seven descendants of time-travelers, and only three people have not been replaced by time-travelers. Among them, both parents are time-travelers, and the probability that the offspring will not be time-traveled is currently zero."
"Momo was only nine years old when what happened to Tian Yao happened. Today is August 11, 282 in the Tianwu Calendar. In three months, Momo will be fifteen years old."
