Chapter 34: Hurt self-esteem (Second update, please subscribe)

Author: Cambrian

When the griffon Hai Dongqing slowly descended in front of the cabin, Xia Chujian raised his head and saw the lit cabin, and suddenly understood the meaning of home.

Home is probably a place where the lights are lit and there are people waiting for you...

"I'm back!" Xia Chujian pushed the door open and smelled the unique scent of black truffle and wild rhino pig.

In fact, it was the same dishes she cooked before, because there were too many, and she had already eaten them for a week.

Aren’t these people tired of eating yet?

Probably not tired of it.

Because Li Fu and Song Mingqian were fighting over the last piece of roasted wild rhino pig ribs.

Ping Qiong held a big bowl and immersed herself in eating red lion morels and wild rhinoceros pork.

Only Ye Shijie was lying on the only wooden bed in the cabin, staring in the direction of the door.

Seeing her come in, he looked away and said calmly: "I'll be back when I'm back, no need to yell."

Xia Chujian smiled at him and said, "Captain Ye, are you feeling better? Is the injury serious? Do you want to go back with them first and see the association's doctor for a look?"

At this time, Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong raised their heads from their rice bowls. They looked at Xia Chujian at the door and Ye Shijie on the wooden bed. They didn't know what to say.

Ye Shijie frowned and said to Xia Chujian: "Come in first, it's so cold outside, why do you keep the door open?"

Xia Chujian turned around and glanced at the door.

The pig-headed humanoid with three manes has found a corner under the eaves at the entrance of the wooden house, nestling there with the griffon Hai Dongqing on the left and right.

Forget about the griffon Hai Dongqing, it is originally an animal native to the exotic forest, and sleeping in the open is its instinct and habit.

But Sanzong is not.

Xia Chujian hesitated again and again, but turned to look at Ye Shijie in the room and said, "Captain Ye, it's too cold outside, please let Sanzhao and Xiaozizi come in."

She hesitated because she knew that in the minds of normal humans in the Beichen Empire, humanoids were not considered humans. They were pariahs and slaves.

Ye Shijie closed his eyes and said calmly: "Humanoid bodies are different from humans. You don't have to worry about them."

"Why are they different?" Xia Chujian bit her lip, "They are human beings just like us."

"Humanoid pariahs and slaves are not normal humans." Ye Shijie expressed everyone's consensus as if he didn't want to argue.

"Actually, genetic evolvers are not normal humans either." Xia Chujian couldn't help blurting out.

I regretted it after saying it.

This is what my aunt sometimes murmurs at home.

Xia Chujian had heard it familiarly since she was a child, so she couldn't help but pop it up.

In fact, her aunt told her not to talk nonsense outside.

For example, if this kind of genetic evolver is not a normal human being, it is simply an outrageous statement in the Beichen Empire.

From the perspective of people in the Beichen Empire, this is tantamount to saying that genetic evolvers who are superior humans are on the same level as lowly humanoids.

Ye Shijie opened his eyes sharply, and the coldness in his eyes was undisguised: "Xia Chu, please watch your mouth! Don't let me hear such words in the future! Otherwise, you will leave our Dark Night Hunters Association immediately!"

Are you trying to drive her away?

Although Xia Chujian regretted what she said wrongly, Ye Shijie's scolding her like this hurt her self-esteem too much.

She became angry and said with a sneer: "Okay, you don't need to chase me away, I'll leave now!"

With that said, she slammed the door of the cabin and stopped entering the house at all.

Turning around and standing at the door of the cabin, the extremely low temperature hit her face, and Xia Chujian couldn't help but shiver.

The pig-headed humanoid with three bristles at the door of the cabin opened his mouth wide and stared at her blankly.

The pig's face, which should have been ugly and awkward, was not so ugly in the night.

He hugged Xiaozizi tightly, stood up tremblingly, and whispered: "Master, there is no need to speak for Sanzong... Sanzong can walk, it is not cold, Sanzong is a humanoid slave, not afraid of the cold...

I followed that bad guy a few days ago, and Sanzhao was sleeping in the snow, so it was okay..."

Sanzhao hugged Xiaozizi tightly to his chest, got up and walked out.

Coyotito was held upright in his arms, with his little head resting on Sanzhao's shoulders.

Seeing that it was getting further and further away from Xia Chujian, it couldn't help but shout "Wurfu, Wurfu" at her.

There was great confusion in its small black bean-like eyes, as if it didn't understand why it wanted to leave.

Xia Chujian felt a strong unbearable feeling in her heart and hurriedly stopped him: "Sanzhao! Don't leave either you or Xiaozizi! Let's go to the aircraft and stay there for one night!"

When Ye Shijie in the room heard this, the veins on his forehead jumped again and again, and he shouted angrily: "That's the association's aircraft! Humanoids...can't get up there!"

It took a lot of effort for him not to say the word "slave."

In the cabin, Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong realized that the matter was serious.

Li Fu took out a tissue, wiped his oily mouth, and whispered to Ye Shijie: "Captain Ye, it's just for one night... Where can Xiao Chujian stay if she doesn't stay in the aircraft... It's so cold outside, she's not genetically evolved

Those who can’t bear it..."

Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong nodded together and said cautiously: "Captain Ye, in fact, Xiao Chumei is still young and underage. He is still in high school. It is normal to have some strange thoughts..."

The "weird idea" they are talking about is, of course, the idea that genetic evolvers are not normal humans.

As for wanting humans to enter the house, it was nothing compared to what she said.

But Ye Shijie was unwilling to compromise this time.

He said coldly: "I told you before, you can't spoil her! That's right here, in front of our team! She talks nonsense, we can treat her as young, ignorant, and didn't hear her!"

"But what if she gets used to it and talks nonsense like this in front of others when she goes back? Do you know the consequences?!"

Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong looked at each other and lowered their heads in unison.

Ye Shijie continued with a gloomy face: "More than ten years ago, a scholar made a passing mention at a conference and only said that humanoids might be a direction of genetic evolution. As a result, he stirred up a hornet's nest.

!”

"Do you know where this scholar is now?"

Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong shook their heads together.

"...He is already dead. He was sentenced to death and executed that year." Ye Shijie closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath.

That year, he was only ten years old.

He did not continue because that man, the executed scholar, was his father, his biological father.

He did not tell his team members that his family was originally a citizen of the Beichen Empire and once lived in the middle area of ​​the Beichen Star Imperial Capital.

Just because of my father's casual words, their family lost everything.

His father was executed, his family property was confiscated, and his mother and he were demoted to civilians and exiled to Guiyuan, the most remote and backward planet in the Beichen Empire.

A few years later, my mother passed away sadly.

He was struggling alone in Mulan City on the Return Planet. Fortunately, a few years later, he had a genetic mutation and became a genetic evolver, before he returned to the civil class.

But because of his father, he will never be able to work in any government agency in the Beichen Empire in his life, and can only hang out in civilian organizations like the Night Hunters.

"Not only can't you say this kind of thing, you can't even have any thoughts in your heart! Because as long as you have this kind of thought, you will say it... you don't even know when you will say it! As long as you say it, then

It’s a huge disaster! No one can save her!”

"You said, you are still spoiling her, do you want to see her die?! Tell me!"

Ye Shijie pounded the bed and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Li Fu, Song and Ming Dynasty and Ping Qiong shrank their necks and did not dare to express their anger.

They felt that Ye Shijie was overreacting, but after all, he was the captain and had many years of power, so he could still control them.

Seeing that these people were all honest, Ye Shijie took a deep breath and said to Li Fu: "Go! Go live in the aircraft. She is not allowed in tonight! Unless she admits her mistake!"

Li Fu didn't dare to speak anymore for Xia Chujian, so he stood up silently, put on his brown-black long-haired coat that looked like a brown bear, and got up and went out.

Xia Chujian was still standing not far from the door. It was obvious that she had heard Ye Shijie's words in the cabin.

She did not continue walking towards the aircraft, but turned around and looked at Li Fu and said, "Master Fu, I'm going to go to the aircraft to get my things, okay?"

In fact, according to Ye Shijie's opinion, it is definitely not possible.

But Li Fu couldn't bear to see Xia Chu.

Deep down he felt that Ye Shijie was right and should be stricter with Xia Chujian.

But emotionally, he always felt that Xia Chujian was still a little girl, the girl who dared to pretend to be seventeen to join the Dark Night Hunters Association when she was fourteen, and worked hard to earn money to support her family.

He was full of sympathy and gratitude for her.

"Go ahead and take whatever you want." Li Fu said quietly, "You can take one of that small controllable nuclear fusion generator..."

Xia Chujian originally just wanted some more weapons and ammunition, but when Li Fu said this, she suddenly had an idea.
