Chapter 27 The Astronaut and the Cat

It's around ten o'clock in the morning, and it's midsummer in July. Ellie drove Xu Zhou in the sky for a while. Finally, she was full of fun. Xu Zhou was also excited. It was even more terrifying than riding a roller coaster. She shouted all the way so hard that her throat was hoarse...

"Xu Zhou, isn't it super fun?"

"It's fun...you're so big! I have motorcycle phobia!"

Xu Zhou said angrily, Ellie's speed had slowed down, and it was not until this time that Xu Zhou could take a good look at the world that had just flashed.

Jinling is also the city where he used to live. Now, a hundred years have passed, and it is impossible to say that it has changed dramatically, but Xu Zhou cannot recognize it at all.

All the old buildings have been cleared out. The once prosperous metropolis now look almost entirely full of forests.

In midsummer of July, the sunlight falls on the ground through the leaves spots. The land once hidden under the concrete ground is bathed in the sun again. Without the noise of the city whistle, the air seems to have a green atmosphere, and the endless cicadas are ringing in my ears.

The boundaries of the city have long been blurred. Except for the many residents living near the train station, there are few people in other places.

The motorcycle flew over the top of the tree and shocked a group of colorful birds.

I really can't recognize it...

Xu Zhou couldn't even see which administrative district or street in Jinling a hundred years ago, let alone what to look at in his alma mater...

"It's so hot, Xu Zhou, let's go to the town to drink sugar water!"

"OK."

Ellie drove the navigation and flew to the nearest town here.

When I came to the town, there were more people here.

The main economic and political centers have been transferred to the Sky City, and the earth only undertakes the function of living and living. There are no towering commercial buildings or commercial housing in the town. The abundant land resources allow residents to build their own houses. Therefore, they all see small villa-like houses, and each household has a yard, surrounded by wooden fences, just like the European and American styles before.

Just looking at the living environment, Xu Zhou likes it more than Xindu.

But for modern people, it is still quite backward. Residents cannot enjoy the technological life like Sky City. They still use basic networks and sockets to use electricity, and they have to use a network cable to access the Internet.

The most inconvenient thing is to go to work on a daily basis. There are no large-scale commercial activities on the ground, and young people can only take the train through the train to work every day.

But as a place for retirement, the land is the most suitable place.

Today is the weekend, and there are still many people coming to travel and stroll around the land, and the town is also quite lively.

When he arrived at the town, Xu Zhou felt like he had returned to the last century. The spacious road was lined with various family shops.

Some make snacks, some sell antiques, and some sell small toys, such as kites, fishing rods, etc., which are provided for tourists to try.

Most of the shops are easy-going, and their lives are plain. Occasionally, they will look up at the city in the sky and imagine another kind of life.

Ellie parked her motorcycle at the gate of the town and wandered around with Xu Zhou.

The aroma of delicacies often comes from the streets, mostly artificially made and the price is quite high.

Xu Zhou was not short of money, so Ellie pulled him to a sugar water shop, ordered two iced taro sago delicacies, and the two sat and waited on the small table at the door of the store.

The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a kind face and is like most people. He doesn't talk much, but he does things very well. He turns around and goes to the kitchen to prepare sugar water.

There was a cat lying on the counter, with lazy eyelids too lazy to lift it. Its small pink nose and milky brown hair were like dandelions blooming in the snow, which made people look at it and want to steal it home at first glance.

"Wow! Kitten!"

Ellie likes cats the most, so she came over and bent down and happily touched its big head.

The cat opened his eyes and glanced at Ellie speechlessly, ignored her, turned around and continued to sleep.

"Hahaha, you're so fat..."

Ellie rubbed its big fleshy butt.

“Meow?”

The cat got angry and jumped off the counter. With his short legs, he jumped to the rattan chair inside, lay down leisurely and continued to sleep.

Xu Zhou also found it interesting. In fact, people are not as comfortable as a cat.

People like to use small animals to describe a person's personality, such as smart people like foxes, honest people like dogs, and simple people like rabbits. Xu Zhou feels like cats. What's different from cats and other animals is that they are more like observers of the world.

Sensitive and self-esteem, independent and elegant, they have a long time to concentrate on dazing and observing the world, wherever they see, like memories, and then... they fall asleep.

The cat didn't play with Ellie, so Ellie had to sit back to her seat reluctantly, but she clapped her hands from time to time to attract its attention.

The boss came out with sugar water. He glanced at it and said with a funny look: "It's a pig. My daughter picked it up outside. She almost lost her family."

"Haha, it's not so exaggerating. It's quite cute."

Xu Zhou took the sugar water and thanked him. The boss's words were quite interesting, and it was rare these days.

"You guys use it slowly."

"Thank you, boss."

Xu Zhou and Ellie picked up the spoon and drank the sugar water. When they took a sip of cold sugar water in the hot summer, they felt like their pores were relaxed.

"It tastes very good!" Ellie smacked her lips.

"Yes, this taro is very fragrant."

"Then we'll come again next time!"

"Uh-huh."

After finishing the sugar water, Xu Zhou and Ellie sat for a while and then prepared to go shopping in another place.

Ellie pulled Xu Zhou to buy a kite, and then the two drove their motorcycles to the suburbs.

Xu Zhou held the kite and Ellie held the string.

"run!"

Xu Zhou loosened the kite, and Ellie ran away with the string.

Unfortunately, there is no wind in the hot summer. After running for a long time, the kite can't fly, but instead makes Ellie sticking out her tongue like a puppy.

In order to lift the kite, the witty Ellie came up with a solution.

"Let's drive the motorcycle and put it on!"

So Xu Zhou sat behind the motorcycle, pulled the kite string, Ellie drove the motorcycle and flew away, and the kite finally got ready.

Flying naturally has no destination. As we fly, a garbage mountain appeared in the large area in front of us, which was filled with various abandoned electronic products. They were eliminated from Xindu and temporarily piled up here and will be cleaned up every few days.

Xu Zhou felt the car slow down, "What's wrong?"

Ellie twisted the accelerator, but the motorcycle didn't respond.

"Ah...my little motorcycle seems to be broken..."

Xu Zhou: “…”

He looked at the height of dozens of meters below and felt a little weak in his legs...

"No way?"

"I don't know..."

The speed of the car dropped to zero, and the motorcycle hovered in mid-air. Fortunately, the magnetic levitation function was not broken, but there was no power.

"Stop and take a look."

Ellie had to land slowly. On the side of the garbage mountain, a 'scavenger' in thick protective suit and like an astronaut walked out with a schoolbag on her back and happened to meet them.

The 'astronaut' did not know that Xu Zhou and his other cars were broken, so he kindly reminded: "You are not wearing protective clothing, so you should not get close to the garbage dump. The electromagnetic radiation is very strong."

Through the mask glass, I can't see the appearance of this "astronaut" clearly, and the sound is also the electronic sound of the protective suit.

Xu Zhou got out of the car and said helplessly: "Thank you guys for reminding me, but our car broke down. I don't know what to do now. Is there a repair shop nearby?"

The 'astronaut' is not tall and has thick protective suits. He walks like walking on the moon.

"broken?"

The 'astronaut' opened his mask and revealed a delicate little face. He was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. He was probably stuffy and sweating. His hair was stuck to his face like seaweed.

She frowned her beautiful brows and looked at the motorcycle carefully with her big eyes.

"Well, there is no near the repair shop. Why don't you go back to the 'base' with me and I'll change my clothes and check it out for you."

"Wow! Thank you!"

Ellie is very happy, the little motorcycle is saved.

Xu Zhou looked at the scavenger's "astronaut" curiously, but he didn't expect that he was such a young girl.

Are the girls’ hobbies so hard-core now?
