Time flies by, and the regret that Lird and his father have not spent years together is finally repaired during the proximal period, and now the father and son communicate with each other, and all the previous estrangement and misunderstanding are dissolved at this moment.

The time in the tent seems to be against the world, bringing the father and son back to the moment more than ten years ago, when Pym was an omnipotent father in the eyes of Lird, and he relied on and relied on all his life.

And Pym's face also oozed a little red, and the look in his eyes also shone with excitement and joy, as if he had been reborn at this moment. In fact, the father and son did get a "new life" at this moment.

After saying almost everything, father and son fell into a brief silence, and under the reminder of this silent time, they both realized that no matter what kind of happy times they had, reality was always something they had to face.

Pym smiled suddenly, and then said to Lird, "Son, I'm tired after talking about it for so long, and I'm tired of keeping watch by my side lately, so it's better to go and rest." ”

Lird shook his head subconsciously, knowing that if he left this time, he would never be able to talk to his father again.

Pym smiled, he naturally understood his son's psychology, and then patted Lird's palm with his hand, just as he patted Liard's back when he was a newborn more than ten years ago to lull him to sleep.

As the saying goes, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, life is also a journey, everyone has their own journey, sometimes these people's journeys will intersect and be the same, but they will eventually be separated from it. Everyone is unique in this world, and so is everyone's life. You can't be with me forever, you have to learn to let go. Father, I have nothing to leave for you, but to give you all superficial admonitions..."

Lird choked up again, and he wanted to say something to his father, but he couldn't say anything.

"Get out, kid, give me a little free time of my own, and let me look back on my life for a short time alone, okay?"

Hot tears rolled down Lird's face, and finally Lird nodded tremblingly.

"Goodbye, my child, I love you. ”

"I love you too, father..."

...

When Lird walked out of the tent, Jim, who was standing outside the tent, immediately got up, and looked at Lird with sadness in his eyes and also inquiring.

"Father, he... I want to be alone...," Lird said in a hoarse voice.

Jim was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding and said softly, "Let's just wait here." ”

Waiting...

Waiting for the death of a person.

At this time, Jim suddenly said, "I really want to drink!"

Lird smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was not a heavy drinker, but at this time he also wanted to drink.

Wine into the bowels of joy, wine into the bowels of sorrow.

The two are naturally the latter.

It was almost dawn, but due to the weather, it was still very dark, and it looked very depressing. But neither Lird nor Jim wanted the dawn to come, because when this new hour came, there would be something to change here, and what should have gone would have to go, and what should have come would have come.

"My father wanted me to get out of here, and I said yes. Lird said suddenly.

Jim's expression changed, and then he regained his composure and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Pym is right, you really shouldn't be here. ”

Ignoring Jim's words, Lird continued, "I've lived to almost never lied to anyone, and this is the biggest lie I've ever told. This time Jim was speechless.

"I want to stay here according to my father's wishes, I admit it's a very beautiful place, but it's not our home after all, and if I can, I want to bring him back to the United States and bury him with my grandmother," Leard said. Jim nodded silently.

"I really shouldn't be at my age of nostalgia, but maybe it's because I've experienced some things, and I feel like I've seen a lot of things now, and now I have a very strong desire to go back to my hometown town in Poland, even if it's under the pressure of German soldiers with guns and bullets, as long as I can step on that land, I feel content. ”

Jim shook his head lightly and said, "I envy you, at least you still have a place to miss, and we are living in a state of duckweed, not even a homesick goal." ”

Lird said, "It seems that you really need a place to lean on, to find a place where you can find complete peace and salvation. ”

Jim said, "Our place of salvation? haha, I'm afraid it's not here." ”

Lird said: "Maybe it is, maybe it is not, for this point is not something that a foreigner like me can say. ”

"Now I just want to fulfill my wishes," said Lird, "and then return to the United States, and then return to my hometown when all the war is over, and take a good look at it with the hopes and expectations of my grandmother and father. ”

After that, Lird turned to Jim and said, "But if there are unforeseen circumstances, if any accident happens in the future, I hope you can send me and my father back to the United States, even if I can't fulfill my wish in the end, I can still be reunited with my family." ”

Jim looked at Lird silently, and after a long time he said, "That will never happen." ”

"But..."

"No but. Jim said firmly.

Lird shook his head with a wry smile, and the two fell silent again.

Time is spent in silence and breeze, darkness is slowly replaced by light, and life is constantly passing.

Suddenly, Lird's unprovoked swelling suddenly, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart, and in an instant, Lird understood everything, and slowly closed his eyes, but tears still flowed from his eyes. Jim noticed the change in Lird, and he turned his head away, sighing in the same grief.

....

Pym is gone, different from the heroism he once had in the mall, and he turned the tide in the midst of danger.

Pym was not alone when he died in a tent alone in a tent and his only relative, Lird, standing outside his tent not far from him.

In the last moments of his life, no one knows what is going on in Pym's mind, maybe he is looking back on his not short but extremely wonderful life, maybe he is just thinking about some old people, missing some things that he is happy or regretting, maybe he is just resting.

All in all, it's all important now, and everything vanishes as the heart stops.

In the last moments of his life, Pym was just an ordinary person, perhaps this was what he was looking forward to, and the reason why he would let Lird leave him at the last moment was also because he was worried that the power in his body would cause some kind of bad consequences when he died.

However, Pym's fears proved to be redundant, and his body did not change in any way after his death, as if the power that had been raging in his body had disappeared with the loss of life.

After Pym's death, a small funeral was held for him by the Atlantean family. At Lird's insistence, the farewell process was swift, and those who had been helped by Pym came to his body one after another to say their final goodbyes.

The farewell scene was very silent, and only a faint moment could be heard the sobbing of some people.

Lird looked at the sad people with expressionless faces, and the joy and joy of the past were no longer visible on their faces, and the blow of the inoculation was really too merciless for them, not only abandoned by God, but also cursed by God.

Lird didn't know how long it would take or how much it would take for the hope to rekindle in the eyes of these people.

At the same time, the solemn scene reminded Lird of the scene when his grandmother died, when he looked at the grieving people in the church, and Lird only thought that it was only for Mr. Wyatt's face, but this time Lird really understood the love of his father.

No matter what calculations and thoughts my father had during his lifetime, the greatness of his human nature, the brilliance of his character, will always be admired, and everyone who is helped by him will love him from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lird's mouth.

Father, you are not a loser, in fact you have gained a lot, you are a very great person!

...

After a short farewell, Pym's body was placed on a wooden shelf, and when Lird's torch lit it, Pym's body was completely reduced to ashes with the flames.

Looking at his father's disappearing body in the flames, Lird couldn't help but wonder if it was too anxious to cremate his father's body like this, and even Lird felt that his father's body was not completely cold, and his own approach might be too unfilial.

But Lird has no choice, at this time, grief is definitely not the right solution to the problem, only looking at the present is the key.

As the fire of the cremated body gradually decreased, Qianrou, who was watching everything beside Lird, whispered to Lird: "I deeply regret the death of Mr. Pym, but I also ask you to mourn and be strong." ”

Lird looked at the flames in a daze, and after a moment he turned his head to Qian Ju and said, "I was prepared before I came here, and I am not surprised by this scene, but it came sooner or later. ”

"As sad as I was, I also didn't want to disappoint my father, especially the so-called accomplishment of his life, which I would definitely help him accomplish, no matter what I was facing. I'm not going to leave here until that's done!"

Qianrou looked at Lird, a man of the Atlantean remnants who understood that Lird was showing himself something.

Qianrou's gaze wandered, and she looked at Jim not far away. Jim's eyes were flat, as if he hadn't heard Lird's words, but Qianrou knew that Jim had heard everything, and his attitude was very simple, and he would definitely help implement all of Lird's actions.

Qianrou didn't say anything about this, she didn't show any anger at this resistance, on the contrary, it seemed that her mind had been thinking about something, and after nodding her head slightly, she turned away.

The girl in white had been following behind Qianrou, and when she left with Qianrou, Lird noticed the extremely ugly look on her face, obviously she had completely understood Liard's attitude, and what Lird said just now did mean a showdown with him.

When Qianrou departed, when the mourners of Pym were gone, only Lird and Jim were left beside the gray-black remnants of the fire.

Suddenly, Jim spoke: "From now on, you are no longer a guest here, of course you are not a member of the clan here, in the eyes of many people you are just an alien who does not fit in, and even in the eyes of some people you are an enemy!"

Lird was stunned when he heard this, he understood that Jim was reminding him, obviously he also knew something about the situation within the Atlantean remnant, and he knew that after Lird made a tough attitude to Qianrou, he was very likely to be attacked by some forces.

Lird smiled, and he laughed for two reasons. First, he suddenly realized that he had always underestimated Jim too much before, this man who seemed to be taciturn at first glance and usually had the most imperceptible thoughts and secrets, and he saw through many things, and he had the true character of a politician. On the other hand, Lird didn't care too much about everything that was coming, because at this time he no longer had any worries and fears in his heart.

"It's okay, I understand what you mean, but I'll talk about it later, I'm not worried about some people's attacks on me, because I don't have any selfish intentions, as the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, that's the truth. And a little more..."Lird snorted, "... As you said before, we don't have much time..."

Jim was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled wryly and repeated Lird's words, "yes, we don't have much time..."

"But the only thing we can do now is to collect my father's bones, and it's better to be careful so that nothing goes wrong," said Lird. ”

Jim said, "With me to help you, you can't go wrong." ”

...

When his fingers touched the bones that were still quite hot, Lird's heart was unusually calm.

While his father's voice and smile echoed in front of him, he put the bones in his hand into the simple wooden box in his hand, and at the same time silently thought in his heart.

Father, I did deceive you against your wishes, but I believe that I will complete your unfinished mission and finally change everything and free more people from this disaster.

Father, please bless me and my grandmother's souls in heaven so that I will never do anything that goes against my heart.

I wish you peace and happiness in heaven.

Amen.
