Chapter 48: Honest and Relative
A long journey is an act that tests mood and patience. The long yellow sand is surrounded by the fiery red phoenix stars. If it weren't for the occasional mottled oasis that would have cheered up, it would have been a long time ago.
"Do you know why we are called thieves? That is, we would rather fly freely in this sky and live whatever we want, than be knocked down and lost wings and trapped on a planet until we die of old age."
Although the Reddill people are rough in appearance, they are very handsome in their bones. From the initial hostility to the common threats, the moods of Reddill and Lin Hai and Xia Ying have also changed. Reddill also showed such an unknown side in front of the two.
Along the way, perhaps to avoid the boredom of the two, the interesting stories of the empty thief spit out from Reddill were not stopped at all. This led to Lin Hai and Xia Ying listening to them quite in-depth.
It's okay for Xia Ying, while Lin Hai was like a local bun. He grew up on the garbage star and understood the human nature there, but he didn't know the stories that happened elsewhere under this vast galaxy universe. Reddill had various experiences of hiding and fleeing, and even once he was in the enemy's army and fled under large-scale military exercises. It was really shocking to hear that it was really not easy for him to survive until now.
For Xia Ying, her background and even her professional reasons have led to her mixed and rich experiences, and people at all levels have dealt with, from a scheming nobleman to a high-ranking official, from a playboy who is good at using means to a speculator who is proficient in worldly research, and even those members of the upper class of the empire who can't see through her heart. Since she was a child, Xia Ying had to admit that Redil was an alien.
He looks like a vicious thief leader, but he has such a emotional side to get along with him. If he ignores the blood on his hands, put aside his identity and gets along with him, it even makes people think that this is the funny teacher who reads a lot of books when she was in the college.
He advocates and is proficient in the philosophy of Hegel. He can read the most popular works like "The Charles Bill of Rights" and "Year of War" that he may not patiently read. He is very critical of the laws of various countries, genre ideas, and some sensational celebrities in the interstellar community today, but he can really find the shining people.
He judged the injustice of society, as if he was in the imperial society with a pair of dialysis-appearing eyes... But his real identity was just a thief leader. He was not in the tall building of the Congressional Legislative Center, and he looked out at the stars in the remote desert of New South Star.
This is a very dramatic contrast.
"But even if some people can freely travel between the stars and go around, they are still like trapped in a small corner that is hard to breathe. Some people have never left the planet from beginning to end, but they still have happiness that has never been bound." Xia Ying took a deep breath, "It can be seen that the distance and broad vision of walking cannot actually be the standard for measuring whether a person is free or happy. Wherever they go, they are cages, and even if they can only be in a corner of the planet, they can look up at the stars with expectations and awe. This only cares about the difference in mood. If you cannot maintain a fresh heart, then no matter where you go, you will be a prison.
"It's very good," Radil showed a hint of appreciation in the cockpit, looking at Xia Ying, who was on the other end of the light screen with some snowflakes due to Yu Shaw, and said, "What about you, are you still drawing a prison, or have you found a reason to look up at the galaxy?"
This sentence is meaningful, Xia Ying's lively eyes thought, "In the past, in Capital Star, I have known since I was a child that my family has an unignorable position in this empire, but it also made me pay more attention to my words and deeds. I went to the best school and studied in the Royal Noble Academy. I always felt a sense of depression. Perhaps every companion there knew that he was different, so everyone was more steady and cautious when dealing with people. So I tried hard to escape and leave the school to go to each other.
I traveled through countless galaxies and thought it would be happy and at least easier, but it was not until the galaxy warship that brought me back to the small city that day, and countless people were as shocked as birds and beasts when facing another world that was not in line with them. I realized that although I seemed to be able to see the smooth and smooth road in the distance, the background and destiny I had been carrying since I was born made me destined to be able to go to a narrower and narrower pass, so do you say I have drawn a land for prison? This is for sure, because my heart is always not free."
"Maybe this is how people do not experience pain and hardships, and never know the meaning of life. Maybe it was the crash of the spacecraft, maybe it was the death of the photographer Lu Ming, or maybe it was the experience of escaping from death, which made me feel the meaning of living in the present. What is ridiculous is that in the past, I couldn't find anything freedom was when I traveled throughout the galaxy, but at this time I was running around in Shayuan, I felt the preciousness of freedom at this moment. What I had been pursuing in the past was perhaps such a misery like separation of life and death."
Lin Hai looked at the imperial idol who seemed to fall from the sky like a reed grass and whispered, "Do you regret it?"
Xia Ying shook her head lightly, "It's not a pity, because this is irresistible, right? But such an experience is precious. Those great figures at the top of the empire are always showing compassion for the world, or some outstanding young people seem to be knowledgeable on the surface, but they may not be clear that they have experienced real suffering. Real suffering can break all hypocrisy and pretentiousness. So if such an experience is lucky enough to not sleep here forever in the end, it should be a very precious life experience. Not everyone has the opportunity to be favored by the Creator like this, right?"
Lin Hai continued to speak silently, Xia Ying turned her head and stared at him, "I am not a person who can see through people's hearts at first sight, nor is it a goddess who is wrapped in the media and praised by the outside world. But I am at least not stupid. I can't see clearly whether people are good or evil at first sight. However, I still have accumulated so much and observed their words and actions, and understand a small ability that I want to understand. Lin Hai, from misunderstanding to understanding, I don't know what you have experienced before, but I can see your eyes. Not everyone can contain waves like this. Maybe I don't understand the suffering you have experienced, but I know that all suffering will be a kind of wealth, and maybe one day it will push you to a peak that you can't even imagine."
Lin Hai was not surprised when he was in a situation, and even dared to be hostile to Li Yifeng in the cargo hold, which made Li Yifeng feel embarrassed. After the spacecraft crash, facing the calmness of the Cohen Workers' Party, the hard battle of the air pirates, and the moment when they escaped from birth, Xia Ying would say that he would not understand Lin Hai anymore, he would be a little deceiving. His instinct to survive in adversity is not something that an ordinary person can do easily.
Looking back on the way, if it weren't for Lin Hai, they might have died long ago or had become prisoners of the Cohen Workers' Party, and it would be even more impossible that the famous air thief leader Radil actually formed an alliance with them and advanced and retreated together.
Xia Ying didn't know what Lin Hai could do, but he was able to do much more than ordinary people.
What she saw was not just these surfaces, she saw only a man, like a dire wolf wearing stars and moon, striving to survive in the bitter wind and frost. This was not caused by accidental disasters that a natural noble seemed to have encountered. This was an instinct that seemed to have to survive in this way since birth.
Xia Ying has seen him calm and calm outside under the turbulent inner waves. Psychologically speaking, this behavior mostly represents a very strong and almost paranoid self-protection, mostly due to the suffering people have encountered.
Xia Ying didn't know what kind of suffering and grief the man in front of him had experienced, and how overwhelmed by the external environment was rejected and attacked, so that this young man could get used to suppressing bitterness and waves in his heart, and use such alienation and indifference to isolate himself from the outside world.
Seeing Lin Hai's tough but slightly thin back, Xia Ying felt a little sad, and her hands slightly retracted and blocked her chest.
This action did not escape Lin Hai's sight and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xia Ying shook her head, looking at him with beautiful eyes, and just gently stroked her hand against her chest, saying in a cramped tone, "It hurts a little... Do you want to rub it for me?"
"real?"
Lin Hai's eyes lit up, but then he saw Xia Ying's eyes wide and he was about to be angry, and he quickly turned his head, "I can't do this for men and women, of course I can't do this for you."
Lin Hai is not thief-hearted but brave. He has not peeked at those beautiful women when he was on the garbage star. It is just that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. He is very clear that the woman behind him will not make any trouble. The biggest principle is not to anger her.
Xia Ying still remembers Lin Hai's expression of surprise just now, which is definitely not a false statement. He looked at his back with his head turned, his ears were slightly red but his face was not changing, but he just gritted his teeth and his eyes were fluttering, "pervert"
"After that being said, boy, I'm quite confused about your birth. Just a mechanic, I'm sure it's impossible to make the team led by Jason, the largest general under the Reddill Air Pirates, like that, let alone escape under the siege of two major air pirate forces." Reddill's voice came out again.
"Isn't this your cover all the way..." Lin Hai smiled.
"There is a proverb in the Great Eagle Empire. Getting along with a big man is like riding an ancient horse. Slapping the butt of a horse will give you more benefits. But I am not a big man. Don't say such polite words. In that case, if I hadn't relied on you, I would have fallen into my reputation today. If I really died, it would not be scary. I am afraid that the living people would fall into the hands of Raphael Tavassi and the others. Then I would be in control of life and death." Radil smiled and scolded, "Frankly meet, I, Radil, are not those masters who turn against each other. For me, Radil, today's alliance
My friend will still be a friend tomorrow, so it depends on whether you treat me as a friend. I, Radil, will never reveal any secrets from my friend. I will come first. Before I became a pirate, I was actually a working researcher in the Susa Empire, but there was a problem with the research. If a big man wanted to erase everyone in our institute and eliminate the evidence, Radil, I, Radil, embarked on a long journey of escape. Most of my pirate gangs were my subordinates back then. Who would have been willing to be a pirate? If I hadn't been so wronged that one day I could be a pirate, we would have been willing to die and show our ambitions."
Xia Ying was stunned when she heard this and gently held her lips open because of surprise, "So, Zhu Mao Chamber of Commerce..."
"It's just a frame-up. After all, the research in our research in the laboratory was indeed related to the things delivered to the Zhu Mao Chamber of Commerce. Now those big figures are determined to kill us. What else is it easier to kill people without any trace than to use the Zhu Mao Chamber of Commerce, which is a trade alliance skin but actually has the power to kill people and silence them in many countries?"
"This is the biggest secret of my Radill and the entire air pirate gang, and it is also the origin of our air pirate gang. Now... it's your turn."
Lin Hai smiled faintly, "Lin Wei family, the speaker of the Stars on the Riverside, Lin Hai."
Radil was shocked and looked at Lin Hai in disbelief, "So..."
Lin Hai nodded, "Yes, I know your initial plan, but I didn't expect that we would run into this way."
After a moment of slight shock, Radill immediately laughed out loud, "The wonderful life situation is really unexpected. If you hadn't met you by chance here, if you had you defended the industrial base of the Xinglin family on the riverside, and with your mecha, our Radill pirate group even claimed that they had dispatched elite troops this time, and they were bound to win, but I'm afraid that they would all fall into your Lin family's industrial area..."
Lin Hai shrugged. Xia Ying roughly guessed the causes and consequences of the words between their lines.
After Radil's laughter, his eyes condensed with a hint of light, "I am most concerned about now and most curious. Who leaked the news that we were going to attack your Lin family base and entered the Lin family's intelligence network? In this way, I'm afraid the Zhao family will just want us to lose both sides and get rid of me, the insider. Zhao Jing from the Riverside Star, has a good idea... I will let him taste the bitter fruit sooner or later."
Lin Hai's eyes were half-closed, "He does have to pay the price, but that's what happened after we can successfully avoid the pursuers behind us and leave New South Star.
"Of course it is. I, Radill, have a handle on Zhao Jing, and I promise to have a devastating blow to his Zhao family. Hehe, I believe this guy who thinks he is smart and has made a deep calculation, but he never thought that we would unite. The world is bloody, but that's it."
After Radil finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ying, who was slightly stunned behind him through the crystal screen and Lin Hai.
After a while, Xia Ying finally couldn't resist the eyes of the two of them, and said aloud, "My father is called Charde."
