Fu Shen lowered his head, feeling a viscous warm liquid flowing through his nose, and the liquid dripping on his upper made a "pop" sound, and the sound actually drowned out the whining wind in his ears.

The god raised his hand and wiped his nose, exhaling a mouthful of white mist.

At the same time, a man appeared in front of him, and the shadow cast by the comer completely enveloped him, and the cocoon god did not move, and he did not move.

"Three."

"What?"

"Three months ago, I had a stable and honorable career, a lover who had been in love for ten years, healthy and enlightened parents, a happy family, and I always thought I was one of the happiest 1% of people in the world."

"Hmm."

"Why is this the case now?" Confused, he asked, "It's like sleeping and opening your eyes, and there's nothing left - work, lovers, family, ......."

“……”

"It's like boiling a frog in warm water, and when I come back to my senses, I realize that I'm standing in the middle of the worst of the waters......," said the cocoon, "and there's only one person left." ”

Candle Jiuyin realized that the person in front of him didn't care about what he said or answered, so he took something out of his sleeve and then squatted down in front of the cocoon god, lifted his bare side foot, put it in his shoes, put it on, and even tied it.

"It's okay," moved slightly, and then said in a calm voice, "I'm not afraid of the cold." ”

Candle Jiuyin hesitated: "...... Then take it off for you? ”

As if he hadn't heard the person in front of him, he stared at the blood droplets spreading on the other side of his shoes, and said to himself: "I'm just a program, I'm not afraid of the cold, I won't die, and I won't have too much emotional fluctuations...... I don't laugh when I'm happy, I don't shed tears when I'm sad - Wang Chaodong is my lover for ten years, he cheated, I didn't cry; Chubby is my only companion since I was a child, and when he died, I didn't cry; I didn't cry when I knew I wasn't human; I didn't cry when I thought I had been abandoned by my parents......"

He raised his head and looked at the candle Jiuyin, for a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand - like that arm weighed a thousand pounds, he began to tremble slightly, the movement was like a frame of the movie was delayed for more than ten seconds, he gently pressed the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and then the corners of his lips lightly picked: "My mother is gone, I still can't shed a single tear." ”

There are no lights around, and the entire parking lot is immersed in darkness.

However, at this moment, Candle Jiuyin felt that the eyes in front of him were like the stars that were gradually lost in the sky a long time ago - at first, they were so bright that they were like a layer of mist that people couldn't take their eyes off, but when they looked deeply into these eyes, they could lightly feel that he was losing their light and gradually dimming......

Candle Jiuyin lifted his eyelids and glanced thoughtfully at the tent behind the god of cocoon, then raised his hand, quickly wiped a handful on the lips of the person in front of him, put it under his eyes and looked at it, and then reminded: "There is a nosebleed." ”

“……”

"You can't understand what you say, is crying a very important function for becoming a human being?" Candle Jiuyin asked, "Why has Ben Jun never heard anyone mention it?" What is the use of tears, can they bring the dead back to life? ”

"I can't."

"What's so rare about that?" Candle Jiu □□, "It's all liquid anyway, if you feel sorry for not being able to shed tears, then you can make up for it now, isn't blood more precious than tears?" ”

“…… What stupid things to say. ”

Candle Jiu pursed his □□ slightly, and for a long time, he reluctantly tolerated the "presumptuousness" of the person in front of him, but asked rhetorically: "Is there a mistake?" ”

The cocoon god couldn't answer, he wiped his nose with his sleeve: "Haven't you seen the life and death of human beings?" ”

Candle Jiuyin raised his eyebrows, glanced around as if he had a finger, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

The god followed his gaze and looked around, only to find that there were many tents in the parking lot, but several of them were dark and unlit......

"You don't see that in the beginning, there were not enough medical tents, not only in the tents, but also in the corridors, which were crowded with humans rescued from the ice and snow rubble...... "Some of them were accompanied, and some were alone--this kind of harsh environment, at the beginning of the lack of food and medicine, many people could not survive for the first three days, and then ...... They can only hope that one day they will wake up and become evolutionaries. ”

“……”

"There are seven or eight beds in each tent, and now you see, the ones without lights are basically emptied, and there is no one in them, where do you think those people have gone?"

“……”

"The probability of becoming an evolutionary is one in ten, so the number of people who came out of those tents and survived was probably less than three hundred......" Candle Jiuyin said and paused, "So, do you think I have ever seen the life and death of human beings?" ”

Listening to the series of numbers, Fu Shen vaguely felt that if it was a normal day, he would probably feel frightened, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, just waved his hand tiredly to indicate that he didn't want to delve into this issue anymore, and wanted Candle Jiuyin to help him prepare for his mother's burial, but at this time, he suddenly heard some movement in one of those tents......

From the vicinity of a tent there was the sound of a crowd arguing.

"What's wrong?" The god asked.

"Where there are people, there is noise, it's not something you can control, compared to this, do you want to go in and see your mother as a human ...... again"

"If I wanted to see, I wouldn't be standing outside the tent right now."

“……”

Fu Shen glanced at Candle Jiuyin lightly, and after speaking, he regained his expressionless face, raised his feet and walked in the direction where the noise came from-the wind blew some of his loose clothes to a loud sound, his long black hair was a little messy by the wind, his back was stiff, and his waist was straight, like some new dark night aquatic plant growing in the dark night, the rhizome of the plant was straight and hard, but if it was touched, it would be broken lightly.

……

The cocoon followed the source of the sound to the crowd, and from a distance he saw three or four people in the center around a man in a white coat who looked to be a medical worker.

One of them, a middle-aged woman wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and looking at someone who was probably not an evolutionary, was full of anxiety: "Why don't you use medicine?" Continuing to take medicine may not be good, didn't the doctor on duty yesterday say that there is still a lot of hope if the fever goes away? ”

As soon as her words fell, the people next to her followed.

The medical staff was torn so that their whole body was crooked: "It's about reducing fever, your girl is only one degree lower than yesterday, not completely fever......"

"If you continue to take the medicine, maybe she'll be fine. Today she also told me that she felt very strong - can you be accommodating and give me another day of medicine, just one day, I always feel that the child will become an evolutionary sooner or later, and the children who play well with her will become evolutionary-"

The paramedic shook his head with a resolute expression, "I'm sorry, it's not something you can decide...... Nowadays, there is a shortage of medicines, especially antibiotics that can be used normally in this environment......"

"I know antibiotics are precious, but my daughter is ...... I beg you well? Please, I'll give you one last dose—"

In the midst of their argument, the god crawled through the window behind the tent to take a look, and he saw a little girl lying on the bed inside the tent, probably about the same age as his body, and she was covered with tubes, her legs were empty from the knee down, and she was covered with bloody gauze......

At this time, as if she heard the quarrel outside, she opened her eyes in a trance, and her faint voice called "Mommy".

The god glanced at the little girl's monitoring device, and then frowned.

The next moment, the middle-aged woman who was still pestering with the medical staff immediately gave up the entanglement, she hurriedly walked into the tent, came to the little girl's bedside, stretched out her hand and touched her head: "What's the matter, child?" ”

The hand that was placed on the edge of the tent window tightened slightly.

"I hurt ......," the little girl said slowly, "when will I get an injection and take medicine today?" ”

"You hurt? Where does it hurt? Today...... Let's not take injections and medicine today," the woman lowered her voice and put her head on the little girl's head, "Mom will ask you and the nurse sister to take a leave of absence, and you will talk about it tomorrow when you don't have pain." ”

"Lingling came to see me today, and she said that when I get better, I will definitely be able to become an evolutionary, and when the time comes, I will not be afraid of the cold, I don't need to eat, and I can go to the water to fish for you and my aunt and aunt...... But Mom, I'm in so much pain, my legs hurt so much, my whole body hurts, you're going to hug me? ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately took the little girl's hand in the palm of her own.

The little girl was still talking quickly, but while she was holding it, she suddenly fell silent.

"Mom, it's too dark here, there's no sun, I'm so scared, I don't want to die."

"Don't be afraid, child, mommy is here."

When the conversation between mother and daughter gradually decreased until it became a whisper that the cocoon could no longer hear, he lowered his hand by the tent window and took two steps back.

Stared at the dimly lit tent for a long time.

He raised his feet and walked around to the front of the tent, and the other family members and medical staff of the little girl who had been pulling were all slightly stunned when they saw him, but soon, they shouted in different tones, which seemed a little embarrassed and jerky, "Your Majesty." ”

The cocoon god put his hands in his pockets.

At this time, he felt a person standing silently behind him.

"Do I have the right to administer those medications?" He asked without looking back.

"If you think it through," Candle Jiuyin replied in a deep voice, "yes." ”

"Give her medicine."

After saying it succinctly, without looking at the joy on the faces of the patients' families and the relieved expressions on the faces of the medical staff, he bent down slightly and lifted the curtain of the tent with one hand.

Walking into the tent, before she could stand firmly, she saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the edge of the hospital bed at this moment, she gently patted the back of the little girl's hand lying on the hospital bed with one hand, humming a song in the local dialect in her mouth, and slowly moved the other hand to the power plug connected to the respirator covered by the little girl's nose.

The god watched in silence as she pulled the plug off.

After a few seconds, the sound of the electronic equipment beating stopped, and the entire room fell silent.

"Thank you," the middle-aged woman turned her back to the god of cocoon, "but no need." ”

The god stood still and did not move.

He looked at the middle-aged woman and wiped her face, then turned around, and then showed him an ugly smile: "One more day of medicine, in fact, it's still the same, I know, I know...... She said she hurts, so forget it, why keep hurting - you've done enough for us, it's okay...... Thank you, thank you......"

"She's dead."

The cocoon god said in a calm and undulating voice.

The middle-aged woman's muttering of thanks came to an abrupt end.

"Why are you still laughing?" The god asked, "Why do you want to say thank you?" ”

“……”

"I'm asking you?" The god felt the familiar viscous touch flowing from his just dry nasal cavity again, but he didn't move, just asked, "Why don't you cry?" ”
