Chapter 18 This House is His New Home

Pei Hao finished a day's work, boarded the "flying disc" sent by the goddess to pick him up, and flew back to Yulong Mountain leisurely in the cool breeze.

So far he has repaired 30 base stations, which is not a large number, but the coverage area is relatively wide.

He is not a professional repairman, and he did not study a related major in college. He just happened to have some understanding of the structure and principles of base stations, and he found the trick after practicing a few times.

What he can do is very limited. Some of the severely damaged ones cannot be repaired at all. Sometimes, they break down again not long after being repaired. He can only do his best.

The sky in Huacheng is always overcast, and it often rains during repairs. If the progress is delayed, we have to wait for a long time, which makes us very tired both physically and mentally.

The "flying disc" arrived at the foot of Yulong Mountain. Pei Hao walked down and headed towards the camp with slow and heavy steps.

He lowered his head, immersed in his own thoughts, with no expression on his face, and a hint of sadness hidden between his slightly furrowed brows.

Suddenly I caught something out of the corner of my eye, and when I looked up, I discovered that there was a strange house next to the camp.

Pei Hao stopped and stared at the house with a dazed look on his face.

It was a very beautiful Chinese-style villa. Its exterior style was traditional yet creative, with flying eaves and antique style. It combined the fashion of modern architecture with the elegance of ancient architecture.

The gate of the house was wide open, and warm light shone through the window, as if welcoming the travelers returning home.

This reminded him of his hometown in Beidu, which was also a courtyard house with hundreds of years of history. In the afternoon after school, grandparents would always stand at the gate of the courtyard waiting, and then watch the children running home skipping and jumping with a loving smile on their faces.

That carefree childhood time can never be returned.

The beautiful memories have been turned into yellowed photos by time, and the family he misses is far away and out of his reach.

He stood here alone, with this flower city destroyed by natural disasters and Yulong Mountain turned into an isolated island by floods. He was lonely and had no idea what tomorrow would bring.

"Pei Hao." A familiar immortal voice sounded in the sky.

He looked up at the sky with unfocused eyes, and then heard the voice saying, "This is the new home I gave you. Do you like it? Some of the facilities in the house are not perfect. You can modify it according to your needs when the time comes."

Is this... a new home for him?

Pei Hao turned his head in a daze, the lights of the villa reflected in his dim pupils. The light was like fireflies in the dark night, faint but bright, emitting warmth and strength that went straight to the soul.

His eyes were a little wet, and an unspeakable sadness spread up, and his throat couldn't stop choking.

Intellectually, he knew that he should say thank you immediately after receiving such an expensive gift, but at this moment he just stood there stupidly, with all kinds of chaotic images flashing through his mind. He seemed to be kidnapped by sudden emotions and stood there frozen, unable to move.

He thought of the classmates and friends who betrayed him, and the horror of being pushed into the torrent and suffocated in despair, which still gave him nightmares;

He thought of the once prosperous and wealthy city center of Flower City. The towering skyscrapers and the colorful neon signs on the streets were all destroyed by floods and tsunamis, collapsing into ruins with nothing left.

He thought of his elder brother, whom he had not contacted since their last call, and wondered whether he was safe at sea and whether he could finally arrive here safely.

Although the goddess took meticulous care of him, Pei Hao was still anxious and afraid every day. He didn't dare to express these emotions out loud, and could only keep himself busy by repairing the base station, being well-behaved and obedient so as not to cause trouble to the goddess, in order to interrupt the random thoughts that came to his mind from time to time and cover up his confusion and uneasiness about the future.

Pei Hao walked into the new home given by the gods, and touched the walls and furniture in the house with curiosity. He turned on the faucet in the kitchen, and clear and pure water flowed through his fingers, so cold and so real, completely different from the yellow-brown sewage that flooded Huacheng.

The goddess fairy said that this house was his new home.

It had been a long time since he had escaped from the university town and he had not seen a complete and sound house. His place of residence used to be an open-air speedboat, a dilapidated house with only three walls, and later a huge ceramic cup and a yacht that he had picked up from gangsters.

After he had been displaced for nearly a month, the immortal gave him a new home.

For people in this country, the meaning of a house is always different.

Home is the final destination of the body and soul, and it is the only place that can provide people with a sense of security.

No matter how solid other shelters are, they are not as good as your own home.

Pei Hao walked into the yard, knelt down towards the sky for the first time, and performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows sincerely and cautiously.

A few tears fell to the ground. He lowered his head and wiped his face, suppressing the sobs in his throat. He said respectfully: "Thank you, Immortal, for giving me a home. Thank you, thank you... Pei Hao promises to believe in you forever in this life and is willing to offer you all his loyalty and everything."

Although he was still on guard when they first met, after spending some time together, Pei Hao had completely believed in the goddess.

He knew that the gods really did not seek any reward, nor did they want to get anything from him. Every bit of care they gave revealed pure love, which could be felt in their daily interactions.

Yun Zhen didn't expect Pei Hao to be so moved. His heartfelt words made her feel a little sad.

Just imagine if she also encountered the end of the world and was separated from her family like Pei Hao, and was left alone outside to face a horrific natural disaster. She didn't know if she had the courage to survive, or the ability to hold on until the day her family was reunited.

There are many pains in this world that cannot be felt by oneself, but Yun Zhen truly felt a sense of sadness at this moment.

She didn't know why she helped Pei Hao unconditionally. She always wanted to take good care of him. She would feel at ease only when she saw that he was living well. This feeling was hard to explain. She was just following some kind of guidance from some unknown source.

It's not that Yun Zhen didn't meet other little humans during this period, but he didn't have such overflowing sympathy for others. Pei Hao was very handsome, but Yun Zhen only felt a sense of intimacy when he looked at him.

Yun Zhen opened her mouth, wanting to ask Pei Hao to just treat her as a family member or friend, but that didn't seem quite right, so she changed her words: "Just treat me as your guardian angel. No matter how long this natural disaster will last, I will do my best to protect you and keep you alive until the end. You can try to trust me and rely on me."

These words made Pei Hao burst into tears, and his young face, which had not yet reached the age of twenty, finally revealed a childish side:
"Immortal, you are so kind, just like my grandparents, caring for me and loving me without expecting anything in return. In the future, I will definitely build a temple and a monument for you, and make a golden statue for you, and offer you the best offerings in the world."

Yun Zhen was suddenly a little stuck when he heard this: "Uh...well, thank you."

She raised her hand and touched her long, smooth, black hair. Her young and beautiful face was reflected on the glass door of the bookcase.

Yunzhen scratched his chin and shook his head with a dumb smile.

Okay, it’s good to be an elder.

Think about your attitude towards Pei Hao, isn't it the same as looking at your own junior?

There was a warm and cozy atmosphere on Yulong Mountain. At the same time, on the sea, one day away from Huacheng, a luxurious private yacht was moving at full speed.

A handsome young man stood on the deck of the second-floor balcony, holding a telescope and observing the sea in front of him.

A well-trained bodyguard walked over quickly and reported to him excitedly: "Boss Pei, there is a signal! Although it is not very stable, it should be no problem to make a call."

The man he called Mr. Pei relaxed his frown, opened his bracelet and dialed a contact number...

At this time, a poor author in ragged clothes squatted under the overpass, holding a bowl and crying, "I'm testing the waters for this book. Dear readers, if you have any recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, five-star reviews, etc. left, please give me some! Whether I can continue writing this book depends on you. Please have pity on this little author who doesn't have much support. Thank you all in advance."
