Chapter 420: Dancing (Extra chapter for leader Momo Wuwen!)
"Bastard!"

The big-faced cat bared its teeth and slapped Lin Xian on the back of his head:

"Don't be rude to the village chief!"

He really admired this little brother...

Is your emotional quotient negative?
Or did he naively believe that he had a tough head and could withstand the village chief's punches?

How can you just become someone else's father?
Is it okay for you at this age?

Village Chief Yan is several years older than you. How can you have the nerve to take him for granted as your father?
Bang.

There was a muffled sound.

The big-faced cat's fat hand was intercepted halfway.

When he looked up, he saw the village chief stretching out his hand to block his palm strike. The big-faced cat only felt a recoil, as if he had been slapped on a steel plate. His palm hurt and began to become red and swollen.

"Big Face, let him continue."

The blue-eyed village chief did not look away, his deep blue eyes were still fixed on Lin Xian:

"That is to say...you are actually not sure whether I am your daughter or not."

She has a smart mind and quick thinking.

He immediately heard the uncertainty in Lin Xian's words and analyzed:
"You know the origin of this photo and who the little girl in the photo is, but in your opinion, I may not be the same person as the little girl in the photo."

"I understand what you mean... The girl in the photo is indeed Yan Qiaoqiao, but I may not be the real Yan Qiaoqiao. I may be a usurper."

What Lin Xian just said was also what she had been wondering about for many years.

Countless nights.

She looked at this family photo and thought...

Is this little girl really herself?

They don't look alike at all, from their face shape to their body shape to their facial features, they are completely two different people.

If she had not actually woken up from the hibernation chamber with Yan Qiaoqiao's name on it and if there had not been this photo in the locker...she herself would not have believed that she was Yan Qiaoqiao.

"no!"

The big-faced cat's brain was smoking, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Lin Xian and then at the village chief:

"You two don't match in age! What's the point of analyzing it?"

"It's not just that your ages don't match... Brother, look at this photo. At your age and this little girl's age, can you be a normal father and daughter?"

"Even my brain can figure it out, and you two are smart people, so why can't you figure it out?"

however……

The blue-eyed woman who was the village chief shook her head:
"Big Face, you are still too narrow-minded. With the magical device called the hibernation chamber...age is no longer a criterion for judging kinship. As long as the parents sleep in the hibernation chamber longer than the children, it is not impossible for the children to be older than the parents."

"The problem now is not the age difference between us, but the fact that... the little girl in the photo looks nothing like me, so it is impossible to determine whether we are the same person."

She turned her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"What should I call you?"

"Just call me Lin Xian."

Lin Xian smiled:
"I'm not here to force a claim of kinship. This is hard to accept, and with the current level of technology, it's impossible to conduct a DNA test. Naturally... there's no evidence to prove what I said."

"I am more curious, are you satisfied with your current life? Are you happy?"

The blue-eyed village chief nodded:
"Since I woke up from the hibernation chamber, my life has been fulfilling and happy."

"The former village chief Chen taught me a lot of knowledge and helped me integrate into the village and this era. Although I am different from ordinary people in many ways, these abilities are extremely precious treasures in this era. As a result, I have been recognized by everyone and became the village chief of Lian Village."

"Over the years, I have also tried my best to fulfill the duties of a village chief, helping the villagers solve their problems, protecting the village, leading everyone to develop industry, building new houses, etc. I think this is the meaning of my life and the value of my life."

"So... Actually, to put it bluntly, I became curious today because I saw that you looked like the man in the photo. To me now, the memories of the past are no longer important. Just like many people in the village, Smith and his friends don't have many memories of the past, but this doesn't stop them from living happily."

"Me too. I am very satisfied with my current situation. You said there is no way to verify whether I am the little girl in the photo or whether I am the real Yan Qiaoqiao. But...what impact does this have?"

The blue-eyed village chief smiled in relief, turned his head and looked at the brightly lit houses around him, his expression full of relief:

"Yan Qiaoqiao is just a name. Whether I am the little girl in the photo or not, it does not affect what I have been doing all these years, nor does it prevent me from being the village chief of Lian Village, realizing my life value, and protecting the local people."

It’s great to see the blue-eyed village chief so relieved.

Lin Xian felt that it was not a bad thing.

In the world of the seventh dream, many people are semi-disconnected or even completely disconnected from their past memories and are living a completely new life.

For example, the foreigner Smith has been domesticated and become the epitome of the Longguo dialect.

If the blue-eyed village chief insisted on knowing the past and the truth, Lin Xian certainly wouldn't mind telling her.

After all, this is a dreamland that repeats every day, and no irreversible vicious incidents will occur.

only……

obviously.

The current blue-eyed village chief is not so curious about the memories and truth of the past.

She doesn't seem to care much about who her parents are and doesn't have much of a concept of family affection.

[In this regard, she is very different from Yan Qiaoqiao in 2024. ]

Even though Yan Qiaoqiao has completely lost her memory, the feeling of missing her parents has not disappeared. She has been pursuing the love of her father, mother and family almost instinctively.

And the blue-eyed woman in front of me.

After she woke up from hibernation, she was also in a state of complete amnesia, but she did not miss her parents as much or value family affection as much.

What on earth is going on?
Seeing that the two stopped discussing, Big Face Cat squeezed over:
"Village Chief Yan, I brought this new little brother here today just to ask you if I can make him an official resident of Lian Village and let him stay here."

"I think this guy is a good guy with great potential, so why not let him follow me? I also need a helper when I'm driving to deliver goods, so I'll teach him how to drive and let him follow me to drive the truck to deliver goods!"

The blue-eyed village chief nodded without hesitation:

"This is indeed a good idea. Moreover...even if Lin Xian doesn't have any special skills, our Lian Village welcomes any new villager to join us."

"These are the rules set by the village chief Chen Heping. The door of Lian Village is always open to anyone. So... of course we welcome new members to join us, and we will not refuse anyone."

talking.

She smiled slightly and stretched out her right hand to Lin Xian:
"Welcome, Lin Xian, welcome to join the big family of Lian Village. I hope you like it here."

Lin Xian also stretched out his hand.

Shake hands with the blue-eyed woman and feel the indestructible power in her arms:

“It’s an honor to be a part of it.”

He smiled:

"I really like Face Village. It makes me feel like I belong here."

then.

The blue-eyed woman pointed to the back of the warehouse and told the big-faced cat:

"It's getting late. You should hurry up and deliver the bear to City Lord Li, along with this truckload of agricultural products... Agricultural products will be sold at market prices, so City Lord Li won't be charged for the bear. It's a gift from our Lian Village to him for the birth of his daughter, and also a way to thank him for taking care of us all the time."

After giving her instructions, she left.

The crystal blue eyes were like fireflies in the night sky, flashing away and disappearing into the future development of Lian Village.

"call……"

The big-faced cat finally let out a long sigh and punched Lin Xian as if he had survived a disaster:
"You kid! How dare you say anything! How can you just come up and say you are someone else's father? Do you have any weird habits?"

"I can only say that you are really lucky... Maybe Village Chief Yan was tired from hunting, so he didn't punch you on the head. Village Chief Yan's fist is no joke... If he hit you on the head, I guarantee that your head would explode like a watermelon!"

"Do you know what it feels like to have your head explode like a watermelon?"

Lin Xian chuckled:
"Of course I know."

In the first dream, the big-faced cat’s head was blown up countless times by CC like a watermelon, and every time the juice flew everywhere, it was quite spectacular.

"Come on, buddy, let's go check out that bear."

The big-faced cat waved his hand, signaling Lin Xian to follow:

"We still have to hurry and load this bear onto the truck, and then send it to Lord Li. It's almost time to set off."

The two walked to the back of the warehouse.

I immediately saw the grizzly bear tied up...

It was a huge adult grizzly bear, estimated to weigh at least 500 kilograms, which was definitely a behemoth.

However, at this moment, Grizzly Bear was tied up there, with his limbs tied together and his entire body curled up helplessly.

The bear's mouth and head were also tied tightly with hemp ropes, making it unable to move.

hard to imagine……

There is actually someone who can subdue an adult grizzly bear with bare hands, and has such good packing skills.

After some effort, Lin Xian and the four members of the Face Gang finally lifted the heavy grizzly bear onto the delivery truck. Then they got in with the big-faced cat, sat on the passenger seat, and drove out of Face Village and headed for Donghai City in the north.

It was pitch black on the road.

Fortunately, this type of electric truck is also powered by nuclear batteries dug out from the ground. The electricity is inexhaustible and can naturally be used for lighting.

When the big-faced cat turned on the car lights, Lin Xian seemed to see the sun:

"You really don't care about electricity. All the equipment that uses electricity is designed to be pretty wild."

"That's not the case!"

Big-faced cat turns the steering wheel:

"Anyway, the total population of the Earth is no more than 1 million. There are hundreds of years of accumulated micro-nuclear batteries buried under the ground. No matter how much we squander, we will never be able to use them all up."

"Of course, if the population of the earth increases in the future, sooner or later there will be a day when there will not be enough people. However, [Let future people think about the future! Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!]"

Buzz————

As the big-faced cat stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The electric truck with huge flashing lights broke through the darkness and headed north.

Because the villages are far apart and the earth's population is generally sparse, it is really not easy to meet a living person in the wild.

It was very quiet all the way.

Apart from……

From the cargo compartment at the back, the sound of a grizzly bear constantly whimpering could be heard, which made Lin Xian feel guilty.

"Can't we just kill this grizzly bear and deliver the goods?"

Lin Xian pointed at the poor big grizzly bear behind him in confusion:
"Do you have to send it alive?"

"That's a must!"

Big Face Cat answered as a matter of course:

"It's fresh and alive!"

……

After about an hour's drive, the electric truck entered the Donghai City.

have to say.

The town that can bear the name of East China Sea in this wasteland era is indeed extraordinary. Both its scale and planning are very close to small county towns in the real world.

Compared with the small county town where Lin Xian grew up, the Donghai City here seems to be even better.

Of course, it's just appearance.

The prosperity of Donghai City is indeed a bit superficial, mainly because the use of micro-nuclear batteries has caused many fields to progress too fast, but at the same time, it has also caused many fields to progress too slowly.

The current level and direction of scientific and technological development are indeed somewhat distorted.

But believe it.

This is all temporary.

As the big-faced cat said...

Human beings in the future will naturally find a way out and a solution.

【Human civilization is a civilization that is constantly evolving and striving for self-improvement. It will never compromise or give up, and will always find the most appropriate way out.】

Arrived at the material trading station.

The process and procedures are quite formal.

Since there were gifts for Li Cheng himself on the truck, Big Face Cat went to see Li Cheng in person.

"Good! Hahahaha... You are worthy of being Village Chief Yan!"

Li Cheng in the seventh dream had a rosy face and was full of energy. He looked at the whimpering grizzly bear on the Big Face Cat's truck and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid that the only person in the world who can capture a grizzly bear alive is Village Chief Yan. Big Face, please thank Village Chief Yan for me when you go back. I'm very grateful for her gift."

"It so happens that my wife just gave birth to a child and is weak and needs to recover. Many parts of this bear are very nutritious. I will have someone make some soup for my wife!" Li Cheng was still so cheerful and had the aura of a leader.

Big Face Cat mentioned that his daughter wanted to come to Donghai City to study.

Li Cheng agreed immediately.

Let him go directly to the school and talk to the principal, or he can even bring his luggage to report to school tomorrow.

Ok?
Principal of the university?
Lin Xian realized it later:

"Brother Lian, this high school principal...isn't he Gao Wen?"

"Yo ho!"

The big-faced cat looked at Lin Xian in surprise:

"You have a wide network of contacts! How come you know people everywhere?"

"It's really Gawain!"

Lin Xian couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly:

"Hurry, hurry, take me to see Emperor Gawain! I have heard of his legend a long time ago. There is definitely still wool to be fleeced from this generation's Emperor Gawain!"

soon.

Big Face Cat took Lin Xian to meet Principal Gao Wen.

Gao Wen is a responsible person in the education sector in Donghai City, teaching and educating people, and coordinating the city's educational development;
At the same time, he is also a scientific research expert and is highly respected in the city, second only to Li Cheng.

The problem of Big Face Cat's daughter was quickly resolved.

As long as you pack your luggage, you can report to school tomorrow.

but……

tomorrow.

Hey.

Lin Xian swallowed the words in his mouth.

Of course he knew that there would be no tomorrow in this dream world, and the white light would stabilize and destroy the world at 00:42 tonight.

There is no tomorrow in this world. There will never be a tomorrow. Tomorrow will never come.

Lin Xian looked at Emperor Gao Wen of this life.

There are already some white hairs on my head, and quite a lot of them, accounting for at least one-third of my hair.

He is at least fifty years old.

Gawain is much older than the one in the sixth dream... This also means that Gawain was dug out of the hibernation chamber much earlier than the one in the sixth dream.

When Gawain was first seen in the sixth dream, he had just woken up for three years. He was not very old and was still a strong man.

And now Gawain has obviously been awake and alive for more than ten or even twenty years, so he has naturally aged a lot.

Lin Xian stepped forward and explained his purpose.

He said that he was also a scientific research enthusiast and wanted to communicate with Gao Wen to see if he had any new and epoch-making inventions.

Gao Wen is an academic who is willing to share, and he immediately took Lin Xian and Big Face Cat to visit the campus:
"Look, this is the water pressure well I designed. It has been put into use in various areas of Donghai City. As long as you dig a deep well to the groundwater layer, you can use this water pressure well to easily pump up the groundwater."

"Wow!"

Big-faced cat exclaimed:
"This is so convenient! We in Lian Village are still at the stage of carrying water, and every household has a large vat to store water. If your pressurized well becomes popular in our village, every household can install one! We won't have to carry water anymore!"

As he spoke, Gao Wen took the two of them to the boiler room behind the school and pointed at the towering boiler and the intricate pipes:
"This is the collective heating equipment I studied. In winter, it can heat water and circulate it in classrooms and dormitories on campus to prevent children from freezing."

"Wow!"

The big-faced cat screamed again:
"Once this technology matures, it can be spread throughout the city! In this way, we no longer have to worry about the cold in winter, and every household can make steamed buns!"

"It won't get that hot."

Gao Wen explained:
"But your understanding is correct. This thing can indeed be gradually promoted."

Subsequently.

The meowing big-faced cat acts as a suitable clown, and is amazed at every invention of Gawain.

only……

Lin Xian, who was behind, frowned more and more.

"That's not good of you, Emperor Gawain."

Lin Xian complained:
"These inventions are indeed very practical, but they are not groundbreaking, they don't fit your style, and they don't reflect your talent!"

"Bastard!"

As Gao Wen's number one fan and a father who was eager to get his daughter into school, Big Face Cat frowned and would not allow Lin Xian to say anything bad about Gao Wen:
"Don't be rude to President Gao!"

"It doesn't matter."

Gao Wen reached out to stop the big-faced cat from screaming, walked to Lin Xian's side, and smiled slightly:
"It seems that you have seen the world. These ordinary inventions are no longer in your eyes."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Yes."

"From what I know about you... you must have some big tricks up your sleeve, right? We're all family, so don't be so shy. If you have any big tricks, hurry up and do them."

Gao Wen took Lin Xian directly to the school office.

Then he pulled out a familiar notebook from the drawer...it was the "Memory Notebook" from the hibernation locker.

Sure enough, the real work is still in this notebook!
"This is the diary I wrote before hibernation."

Gao Wen spoke slowly:

"I hibernated in 2219..."

"Jump over." Lin Xian gestured.

"The technology at that time was not enough..."

"Jump over." Lin Xian gestured.

Gao Wen directly handed the "Memory Notebook" to Lin Xian:

"Why don't you just look at it yourself?"

"Accept the mission."

Lin Xian solemnly took the light yet heavy notebook.

Getting ready to open...

Gawain suddenly sat up, looked at the clock on the wall, and ordered him to leave:
"It's already this late. I have to go to the banquet hosted by City Lord Li. I like children like you who study science. I have already copied the contents of the notebook to other places. I will give it to you. You don't have to return it to me after you finish reading it."

"It's just that I'm going to lock the door and turn off the lights now. If you want to watch... go somewhere else. My suggestion is that you don't have to rush to study. It's such a festive day and such a rare opportunity. Don't study tonight. Come to the square to celebrate together."

Having said that, he pushed Lin Xian out of the office and locked the door.

The big-faced cat outside the door couldn't wait any longer and dragged Lin Xian to the square:
"Look at you. We should have gone to the square to eat the buffet a long time ago! This is the buffet for Li Cheng's daughter's birth! You don't even know how sumptuous it is! And you're still wasting time here!"

The big-faced cat takes quick steps.

It was so bad that Lin Xian couldn't keep up without using some parkour skills:

"It's a buffet anyway, so it doesn't matter when you eat. Besides... didn't you just eat the meal cooked by your sister-in-law before we came?"

"How can it be the same?"

The big-faced cat runs very fast:
"The food at other people's place must be more delicious! I saved some space for it!"

"Did not see it."

"I'll let you see it in a moment!"

……

soon.

The two of them came to the square in the center of Donghai City.

Crowds of people.

The celebration had already started, Li Cheng's speech had also ended, the banquet was packed, everyone was eating and drinking and very happy.

Of course, the most lively place is the several-meter-high bonfire in the middle of the square.

People sang and danced around the bonfire, and it was very lively.

It seems.

Music and dance have been symbols of happiness in every age.

Lin Xian did not join the buffet with Big Face Cat, because he was already full from Sister Face's meal, and besides... he was holding Gawain's "Memory Notebook" in his hand, and wanted to see what new wool was hidden inside.

In order to create the atmosphere of a bonfire party, there are no extra lights in the square. The brightest place is the huge bonfire burning brightly.

In order to read, Lin Xian could only find a seat near the bright campfire.

Come to the periphery of the dancing crowd.

Lin Xian looked at the crowd singing and dancing in the middle and really felt that this was a good era.

Even the super disaster in 2400 still happened.

Even after several hours, the white light at 00:42 will still come.

But at least for people right now, everything is perfect and the best outcome.

The Big Face Cat family is very happy and the daughter is very sensible;

The third little brother still performed steadily and was not chopped up and fed to the dogs;
Smith is no longer a complainer and has a happy life.

The former blue-eyed girl seems to have let go of hatred and killing, and has become a responsible and responsible village chief;

Li Cheng happily gave birth to his second daughter and became a winner in life;

Li Ningning, who once refused to believe in fate and refused to yield, became the real princess of Donghai City and also a sister;
Emperor Gawain is still performing steadily and will continue to shine in the future after his awakening, using technology to change lives.

Everything is going well, everything is satisfying, everything is happy end...

Any regrets?

Lin Xian felt that, at least for these old friends, this was a world without regrets.

He lowered his head.

Just about to open Gawain's "Memory Notebook"...

"Lin Xian, I found you after all!"

He turned his head.

I found an old friend whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Dark brown hair, lively eyes that can speak, dimples at the corners of the mouth, and a teardrop mole at the left corner of the eye that looks like a security trademark.

CC.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

CC smiled and greeted him first, pointing to the bonfire in front of him that was burning brightly and taking away the power of heaven and earth:
"I know that as long as I stay in the most conspicuous place in Donghai City on August 2624, 8, I will definitely wait for you."

"Sure enough, look... aren't you here?"

Suddenly.

Lin Xian remembered what he once said to Chu Anqing:
"If you are really lost, you should just stand still and don't move or leave. That way, I will always come back here to find you."

Time goes by and the sun and the moon intersect.

Some things always change, but some things never change.

Lin Xian chuckled and looked at CC:

"Long time no see. But for you...has it been 20 years since we last met?"

CC nodded:
"You're not wrong. After all, I've had those memory fragments you left me since I was born. I did know you from those memory fragments 20 years ago, but... I know very well that I have to wait until today, 20 years later, to see you."

"Although there are not many memory fragments about you, only three, but each one is very long and relatively coherent, so I still remember it clearly."

Lin Xian closed the notebook in his hand.

Straighten up.

With the flames rising to the sky behind me, and amidst the cheers of the people singing and dancing, I looked at CC who seemed far away and near:

"Do you remember clearly what happened in the previous world?"

"Of course, didn't we make an agreement? That's why I'm waiting for you here."

CC smiled:
"I finally said that if I meet you again next time, I will take the initiative to invite you to dance."

"So, now we are also at the end of the world..."

She stretched out her right hand to Lin Xian:

"Want to dance?"
