Era future

Chapter 2 Aunt Cang
Gradually, the water covered the whole body, and the body was wrapped in the intimate embrace of the water.Her heart is as calm as water, and she can still breathe freely in the water.The feeling is no different from breathing in the air.

The deeper she sank, the brighter the light on the water became dimmer, and straight beams of light shone in the water.

As she slowly sank, she turned around, and the bottom of the water gradually became brighter and became clearer and clearer.

It was green grass. She adjusted her posture and touched the soft grass with the soles of her feet.

The moment he landed, the water disappeared, and the cool air enveloped him, making his nose feel sweet and moist.

The breeze blew, and the grass blades swayed, gently scraping every inch of skin on her feet. The spontaneous itching made Luo Ting couldn't help but run.

Under the clear sky, in the free air, passing through the large grassland.Climb up the hillside and stand in front of a small tiled house overlooking the rolling green land in the distance.In the arms of the hill, the blue lake water sparkled, like a pool of pure tears.

The scenery in front of her soothed Luo Ting's heart and removed the last bit of dizziness from her body.

Turning around, I found a rickety body standing quietly in front of the small tile house, with a thick gray braid. Under a few silver threads on his forehead, there was a smiling face full of wrinkles, looking at Luo Gentleman and kindly. Ting.

This person is the person she is most familiar with and dear to, her adoptive mother Cang Aunt.

She turned around, ran and threw herself into the man's arms full of age.Burying his head and face deeply into the blue-grey dress.

Luo Ting has forgotten when she started calling her adoptive mother this way, she only remembers that it was her adoptive mother's request.

She is called Aunt Cang because her adoptive father's name contains the character "Cang".Unlike the adoptive father who was happy for Luo Ting to call him father, Aunt Cang only allowed Luo Ting to call her Aunt Cang, and was not allowed to address her as mother or adoptive mother.

The grass continues and the seasons change.Spring, summer, autumn and winter come round after round with their own bright and unique representative colors.

In this way, she spent year after year with Aunt Cang, carefree, relaxed and happy every day.Watch the sun rise while washing clothes, pull the string to dry clothes as the sun shines brightly, and collect the clothes that are still warm as the sun sets...

However, no matter how spring and summer rotate, it still remains green and green, but the remaining time of the past has become sparse and gone.

Suddenly one day, Aunt Cang collapsed and huddled on the uneven stone floor of the tile house, coughing.

Luo Ting broke in from outside the door, knelt down beside Aunt Cang in a panic, and kept running her hand along her rickety back. She was speechless and her eyes were red.The sun was setting, and only half of it remained in the west.The sunset on this day was particularly bright red, and the sky seemed to be filled with blood, in various shades.The door of the tiled house was ajar, the sun had gone down, and the sunlight disappeared. The remaining golden light shining on the floor finally slipped away cruelly.Aunt Cang stopped breathing, and the light in her eyes disappeared. "Wow..." Luo Ting seemed to have turned into a crying child, her red eyes instantly turned into bursting dams, and her salty tears instantly flowed out.

The autumn air is crisp and clear, and the sky is getting higher and higher in the autumn wind.The eagle with high wings spread its wings and chirped, accompanied by the howling sound that echoed in the sky and the earth, and returned to its nest in the distance.

Why did Aunt Cang not allow Luo Ting to call her mother? She once said: You are not my biological daughter, and I am not qualified to occupy the important position of mother in your heart.Although you don't remember your mother's appearance, you must remember her greatness!She has been striving for great things all her life, and the greatest thing about her is that she brought you into this world...

Luo Ting didn't know why Aunt Cang said this, but when Aunt Cang finished speaking, Luo Ting secretly regarded Aunt Cang as her lifelong mother.

Looking at the old body gradually losing life on the ground, at this moment, Luo Ting felt that her mother was gone...

Amid endless crying, as night fell, Luo Ting fainted and lost consciousness.

On her peaceful face, she looked like countless people sleeping soundly in a tiled house in the past, with her eyes closed to block out the sad memories.

Unlike in the past, the tiled house without candlelight was dark and cold.

The starry sky was covered with a thin layer of thin clouds, and the stars were no longer brilliant.

A ray of cold moonlight shines through the wooden window, reflecting on Aunt Cang's face.The cold light deepened the rugged wrinkles by three points, and finally settled on the dilated pupils.

Luo Ting passed out under the wall between the door and the window, her body wrapped in darkness.

Time passed little by little, and the clear light shining from the crescent moon through the window began from Aunt Cang's silver head and slowly swept across the entire rickety body...

As the cold light swept across her body bit by bit, darkness followed and engulfed her body...

I don’t know how long it took, but the moon shadow had changed to the other half of the night sky.

Darkness has completely enveloped Aunt Cang's body.

The cold, watery moonlight shone on Luo Ting's face, which was dark-eyed and skin-like.A little moonlight is like dewdrops, condensed on the tips of the long eyelashes.

Luo Ting, who had fainted from crying and fell to the ground, gradually regained consciousness. There were many messy and intertwined tear marks on the corners of her eyes. The moment she gently opened her eyes, another half teardrop slipped quietly.

She stared blankly at the dark roof of the small tile house,
Her cold left hand held the soft and slightly warm upper arm on her right side, and her right elbow lightly touched the cold ground, already as cold as her slender, well-boned palms.

In the corner of his eyes, he could see the dark night outside with a slight blue light.It looks like daybreak is coming...

I saw sparse starlight twinkling slowly and intertwined,

From the corner of Luo Ting's right eye, she saw a bright moon through the ridged wooden window, which was getting brighter as dawn approached in the east.

The moonlight and the gentle breeze blew over her increasingly cold body again and again.The left temple was lifted by the wind, and the tip of her hair played with the corners of her pursed lips.It’s itchy, but why don’t I have the energy or energy to do it?

She remembered something.So he lay down on his side.Although my right ear was already cold, it still felt cold and stinging against the ground.

All she could see was darkness, but she did not turn back.Her subconscious told her that there was something important to her in the darkness.

The tingling pain in her ears became more and more obvious, occupying more of Luo Ting's attention.Luo Ting thought as if something was stuck in her ear bone.

She groped with her left hand.

I felt something curved and sharp, about a centimeter long, in the stinging area under my ear.

Touching along, a cylindrical, curved and rough cold object was surrounded under the soft pads of her thumb, index and middle fingers.

He groped with more parts of his hand, and then he was stunned, and the movement of his hand stagnated.

Grief comes back to me...

They were five pine-like fingers of different lengths, naturally bent, with the tip of the ring finger pointing towards the thick calluses on the palm.What was pressing under his ear was his slightly turned index finger.The tingling sensation came from the overgrown nail on her index finger. She remembered, and remembered that she had promised Aunt Cang to cut her nails tonight...

The moonlight reflected on Luo Ting's body and face.Memories from my early years came back to me.

Under the moonlight, the delicate features on her face shrank into a ball.While biting her lower lip tightly, tears burst from her eyes.Tears slid down the erect bridge of his nose, pooled together, and dripped on the cold floor under his right temple.

The cold light reflected off Luo Ting's abdomen and chest, and fell on the already cold and stiff body.In the faint light, an outline could be roughly seen.

Death becomes a fact.It's right in front of you.Although countless people had told Luo Ting of its existence since she was a child, when Luo Ting experienced it personally, she still couldn't stop trembling in her body and mind.Even in a dream...

Luo Ting lay on the stone floor of the small tiled house, blowing out a breath slowly from her mouth, which contained a few intermittent lyrics from the nursery rhymes that Aunt Cang sang with her when she fell asleep when she was a child.

After her tears were gone, she closed her eyes at what she saw.

Aunt Cang was already dead, and she knew it all too well when she was still in adolescence.

All this is just a dream.It's just a memory that is hidden deep in my heart and I don't want to look at it directly.

Luo Ting stopped crying.All that's left is the deep nostalgia for Aunt Cang.

Aunt Cang's figure in front of her also gradually disappeared, turning into gray and black lines, pulling away and disappearing.

The tiled house, the lake, the moon, the grass and the hills all lost their color at the same time.Countless lines are abstractly bent into the shape of the world's classic painting "Starry Night".

Then the lines gradually lost their color. At this time, the rewind button was pressed during the creation of the painting, and everything in the picture turned into black lines, which were peeled off the screen in order...

The world went blank.With a flash of white light, Luo Ting slowly opened a slit in her eyes, and her eyes were able to open...

……

"She's awake, sister Xiaoqian!"

When Luo Ting opened her eyes, a sweet and sweet voice like a loli faintly entered Luo Ting's ears. The voice was endearing, but very strange.

Through the slits of her slightly opened eyes, Luo Ting saw the soft and bright top of the room in the hazy state.But it doesn't seem to be a laboratory.

In the experimental plan, the experimental subject taken out of the dormant chamber, that is, Luo Ting, can complete all physical examination items directly in the full analysis chamber of the laboratory after waiting for full awakening.

But it seems that I am not in a laboratory at this time...

Did he move himself to the cold storage room next to the laboratory?It doesn’t look like it either…

The funds for her own laboratory are seriously insufficient, and Luo Ting often privately invests her income into experimental project funds for free.If the salaries of these people were not paid directly by the Finance Department of the United Nations Academy of Sciences, she would even consider the salaries of other staff members... Where would there be spare funds for surface decoration of the laboratory that has no practical effect at all.

The roof of Luo Ting's laboratory is full of intricate and messy pipes, and there is not even a decent ceiling to be found. Where can there be such a pink and white, delicate and high-looking roof with a faint shimmer?
Not to mention the cold room, which is extremely messy and full of experimental supplies. The roof is not as beautiful as the laboratory.

Furthermore, who would throw themselves just out of the hibernation cabin into the refrigerator? If anyone really dares to treat the vice president of the Hibernation School of the United Nations Academy of Sciences like this, hum... Then he doesn't have to do it, just get out!
Moreover, the hibernation technology conquered by Luo Ting was announced by the United Nations less than a year ago. If she dares to be mean to someone who is admired by thousands of people, even if she is not afraid of being arrested by the United Nations, she still has to consider whether the saliva of the people on earth will drown him.

Looking at the simple and luxurious roof, Luo Ting couldn't help but wonder...

Simple painting can never create such an elegant and dignified beauty.

The roof has changed, will the surrounding area also change drastically?Luo Ting wanted to turn around and look around, but found that her neck was filled with cement and she couldn't move.

As a result, she couldn't be sure for a while whether this was still the college's laboratory.

At this moment, she remembered that she vaguely heard human voices just now.

Since you can't verify it with your own eyes, ask someone to ask!Luo Ting pursed her lips, there's something going on!The mouth can move.Then, she opened her mouth carefully, ready to ask if anyone was there.It turned out that I couldn’t make any sound from my throat…

It was really unlucky, but she was still going to keep her voice down and be polite, which made Luo Ting laugh.

Not only that, Luo Ting found that the skin senses on the trunk of the body were still very dull. She could hardly feel what she was lying on, and she couldn't even tell the temperature.

The more Luo Ting thought about it, the more curious she became, as if a little hand was tickling her heart.But relying on her professionalism, Luo Ting remained calm and waited.

After the previous stage of dizziness and subsequent conscious sleep, Luo Ting has now regained consciousness in a small part of her body. The feeling of dizziness and nausea has also completely disappeared, and the remaining discomfort can be completely ignored.

I believe that it won’t be long before the body returns to its original state. When the time comes, you will know what is going on when you get up and see for yourself, Luo Ting thought to herself.

I couldn't move or do anything while lying down.In boredom, Luo Ting calculated the current year, month and day.

In the experimental plan, according to the consensus of the group, the predetermined hibernation time is eighteen months, which is one and a half years.

The start of hibernation is mid-November 2735.

So now it should be... mid-May of 2737.

After sleeping for two years, she didn't know if her appearance had changed, but when she thought that she was now two years younger than her peers, Luo Ting couldn't help but pursed her lips in secret joy...

Although Luo Ting is recognized as the vice president of the United Nations, it is difficult for people to believe that she is a leadership figure based on her role as a guinea pig.

Which leader would risk his or her life on the front line?
But the fact is undeniable that she is indeed the vice president of the School of Life and Hypnosis of the United Nations Academy of Sciences, and is also one of the annual blue people in the world in 2735.

All these achievements and recognitions are due to her contribution to hibernation technology.

The experiments currently underway are also closely related to hibernation technology.It is a study titled "Abnormal physiological and biochemical metabolism at the human cell level during hibernation".

On New Year's Day, January 2735, 1, the United Nations announced this unprecedented new technology-hibernation.
