After a romantic snowy night walk, Li Haojun just came back from Spokane and received a business trip notice to Las Vegas. However, the overnight lingering became a hindrance to today's trip.
Li Haojun glanced at the back of Qin Wenjing in the bedroom, as if returning to the moment when he just woke up, the unfamiliar feeling. Since I got a new assistant, I haven't traveled with her to complete the company's tasks for a long time, but left her alone at home. This time I happened to go to a big city, and I must take her to spend time together to make up for the previous debt.
If it is customary, Malaya will accompany me on a business trip, but this time I have to take Qin Wenjing with me. Will it be awkward for them to meet? Li Haojun had some concerns, so he thought about it for a while and sent a message to Malaya,
"Hello, I plan to take Qin Wenjing with me on this trip to Las Vegas. I left her alone at home too many times before, and I really feel bad." After typing this sentence, the next thing in my mind is, I'm sorry I can't accompany you this time... What else can I say? No matter how much I add or explain, it is not enough to express it clearly. In fact, I also want to see Malaya.
After sending the message, Li Haojun thought, maybe Malaya knew that Qin Wenjing would go, and in order not to disturb us, she would not go with me, just like sometimes arranging for myself and Keshia remotely.
Just thinking of this, Malaya's thin figure seemed to flash in front of me again.
"Alas," Li Haojun sighed. The little girl was still freezing with me on a rainy night last time. Now I have to leave her aside, and I feel really bad. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, this is really a happy trouble.
After packing the necessary luggage, Li Haojun returned to the screen to check. Sure enough, Malaya had prepared a flight and hotel for two people, but there was no message coldly.
"Thank you, trouble you," Li Haojun quickly responded to Malaya,
"I'm sorry I can't this time..." Before finishing the sentence, Li Haojun deleted it again, always feeling that nothing he said was appropriate.
After being lazy in bed in the morning, Qin Wenjing, who was excited when she got up, finally sat in the cabin of the high-altitude cruise with Li Haojun. The last time was about half a year ago. At this time, the sun outside the cabin was still bright, and the people in the cabin were more familiar.
"Have you been to Las Vegas before?" Li Haojun asked Qin Wenjing, pulling her,
"No," Qin Wenjing smiled and said,
"Although I have lived here for a long time, I have never been there."
"This is the industry exhibition at the end of the year. Haven't you participated in it before?"
"No, maybe my position level is not high enough," Qin Wenjing said, smiling bitterly and making a face.
"Not necessarily for this reason, the work you do is similar to mine, I think what I learned from you when I just woke up is similar to what I learn now." Li Haojun denied her point of view, half to comfort her, and half to guess that he was not sure. But thinking of this, Li Haojun seemed to suddenly realize something.
"Wenjing, I feel that I seem to have recovered some memories in the past six months of work. Some things seem to be conditioned reflexes."
"Oh, really... That's good," Qin Wenjing had a happy expression, but hesitated for a moment, but Li Haojun didn't notice it, just expressing his excitement to himself,
"Going to Nevada, when I saw those industrial facilities and started to deal with system problems, the relevant electrical, mechanical, and fluid knowledge seemed to gradually emerge from the depths of my brain,"
"Yes, you have indeed done technical work for many years," Qin Wenjing said with a smile, looking at each other with concern,
"It's just that I still can't remember what happened in the past,"
"Ah, it doesn't matter, it's almost the same as now, you don't have to care too much," Qin Wenjing said, holding Li Haojun's hand and gently leaning on his shoulder,
The two of them snuggled up, and the cabin returned to silence, leaving only the buzzing engine sound from behind, and the clouds outside the porthole slowly and silently moving backwards.
The fuselage seemed to be shaking due to the airflow. Li Haojun looked at the radar on the front dashboard and saw no bad weather or warnings. It seemed that there was no problem.
Then the fuselage shook again, and it was obviously more intense. Li Haojun felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked into Qin Wenjing's eyes. When their eyes met, Li Haojun fastened her seat belt and then his own.
Scanning the information on the screen again, red alarms lit up one by one. While checking, there was a sudden explosion sound from the rear fuselage accompanied by strong vibrations, and the warning information on the front instrument panel screen turned red.
"Warning, engine failure, warning, prepare for forced landing,"
"Warning, engine failure, warning, prepare for forced landing," with the voice prompt of the autopilot main control computer, the screen displayed the route planning and forced landing location,
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Li Haojun felt the attitude of the aircraft and comforted Qin Wenjing,
"Don't worry, the flight control system has not failed, and the attitude can still be controlled. If it doesn't work, we can still parachute. There is still altitude. I brought a parachute,"
After checking the altitude and descent rate, Li Haojun was about to understand the damaged parts and extent, and the voice of the main control computer gave another voice prompt, At the same time, the main display screen flashed a prompt,
"Please click on the screen to select gliding or parachuting. The system will automatically select after 30 seconds."
"Please click on the screen to select gliding or parachuting. The system will automatically select after 30 seconds."
Li Haojun clicked on the parachute.
"The parachute starts the countdown. Five, four, three, two, one," and then the leading parachute was thrown out with a bang, and then the main parachute was pulled out.
After a shake, the fuselage stabilized and entered a uniform slow descent.
Li Haojun breathed a sigh of relief and held Qin Wenjing's hand in his palm. It was a little cold. "It's okay, don't worry, you can land smoothly in a while."
The voice and screen were playing landing precautions and rescue-related situations, but no one was interested in paying attention to it.
As the altitude decreased, the ground below was seen through the clouds. The red earth was dotted with dry yellow and dark green.
"Never trust capitalists. For airlines, it is the cheapest to glide to a nearby airport without power, but no one knows whether the damage just now involves the flight control system, so we will parachute now." After the tension, Li Haojun began to explain the reasons for his choice just now.
Qin Wenjing listened to him and nodded with a smile, although the fear just now still made her smile stiff. However, in Li Haojun's eyes, the pale face, compared with the red lips and wide eyes, made people feel inexplicably sympathetic.
The plane finally landed in a gentle valley. This is a corn field. The corn leaves have dried and turned yellow, but they have not been harvested yet. The hillside in the distance is sparsely dotted with farmhouses, barns and cow sheds.
Download the navigation to the nearest intersection rescue meeting point, Li Haojun and Qin Wenjing walked out of the cabin with a backpack on his back. Although the latitude is low, the cold wind is still blowing in the afternoon sun.
"Look, along the dirt road, after passing this hillside, there is a highway," Li Haojun said while pointing in the direction, holding Qin Wenjing with his other hand,
Looking at the surrounding environment, he joked,
"It's a rare opportunity to walk into nature, even if it's a hiking trip for you and me,"
"Yeah, the airline still pays for it," Qin Wenjing was also much more relaxed at this time,
"Hahaha," seeing her like this, Li Haojun also laughed happily,
"Actually, this is a free zone, they are all self-sufficient," Li Haojun glanced at a farmhouse in front and introduced it to Qin Wenjing while walking.
"No taxes, no public services, local security depends on itself, but basically no news of murders. They are mostly conservative religious believers who live a peaceful life."
"Can we live like this?" Tan Wenjing asked childishly,
"No," Li Haojun answered very affirmatively,
"I can't farm, can you?"
"Oh, I can't," Tan Wenjing answered timidly,
"Look, in addition to growing crops, there are also cowsheds. Do you see any agricultural machinery?"
"Oh," Tan Wenjing agreed and took Li Haojun's arm,
"I don't have the physical strength to farm and take care of livestock. You will fall directly from a princess to a peasant woman,"
"Oh," Tan Wenjing stuck out her tongue,
The two walked forward with laughter, and there was a farmhouse not far to the right front, and the hostess could be seen standing in front of the door.
Li Haojun took the initiative to wave her arm to greet her, but because of the distance, the other party did not respond.
After approaching, Li Haojun smiled and explained to the other party, "Hello, ma'am, I'm sorry that the plane we were on had to make an emergency landing in the farmland over there," he said, turning back to look at where he came from, pointing the direction with his hand, but the other party still did not respond, just looked at the two strangers indifferently. Li Haojun continued to explain to defuse the awkward atmosphere, "Well, the airline will compensate you for your losses. We were unlucky today. The plane we were on had a malfunction, and she was scared to death just now," he said, glancing at Qin Wenjing, After several speeches, the other party was still indifferent. Li Haojun was puzzled as to why the other party was so indifferent. Was it because of safety concerns? Or was it because of the xenophobic personality of the people in the isolated place? At this time, a little boy ran out of the house, about eight or nine years old, shouting excitedly while running, "Are you from outside? Where are you from? How did you get here?" The child ran over, and his mother did not stop her child from approaching strangers. Li Haojun was also a little confused, which did not match her indifference. At this time, the child had already run to the front, with a pair of big blue eyes, long golden hair, and his clothes and face were dirty because of the boy's mischief.
Li Haojun explained the reason to him, and the child was very excited. Maybe it was because this place was too remote and there were too few people to see. At this time, Li Haojun suddenly remembered that he had a paper map in his backpack, so he took it out and showed it to the child while explaining it, and then gave him the map. The child was very happy. It seems that pioneering and exploring are the nature of boys.
After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, Li Haojun's mood could not calm down for a long time. Qin Wenjing beside him could not help asking, "Do you like children?" "Yes, well, not really, I am not sure, but when I am with the child, I feel that I am infected by him and I am younger. Maybe I am really old," "Then treat me as your child," Qin Wenjing hugged Li Haojun's arm and acted coquettishly, "Don't be silly, you have grown up," "Humph, that Keshia, Malaya, is it young enough?" After saying that, she pouted and pretended to be angry, "Well, I was thinking that maybe this child should go to school to receive education," "You mentioned this proposal before," Qin Wenjing said calmly, and her expression became serious and no longer naughty, "You suggested it before, but the implementation effect was not good, and then it was shelved." "What's the reason?" Li Haojun asked curiously,
"People in the free zone are very closed, most children are not adapted to city life, and most of them can't keep up with the progress of learning, the effect is not very good."
"Oh, it's just that for some children with good qualifications born there, there will be fewer opportunities, or the road of life will be more difficult," Li Haojun said regretfully,
After walking through the country road just now, the two stood on the high ridge, in front of them was the highway connecting to the modern world, looking back, in the winding path in the wilderness, there was a peaceful and isolated life, no involuntary rush, no private thoughts of separation, but there was also the hard work of making a living, and the happy reunion with relatives was not aware of it.
Comparing the different life paths, staring for a long time, Li Haojun retracted his gaze from afar, Qin Wenjing was standing in front of him, looking at him, and he gently hugged the person in front of him into his arms.
