I didn't expect Dad to care so much about this. This sentence has no beginning and no end in my heart, the colonel's retirement age is 55 years old, and my father's age is approaching.

I had made up my mind to ask my father for a strange change in my parents' attitude, and I couldn't bear to be kept in the dark.

That day, my father did not speak for a long time after listening to my questioning with a slight smell of gunfire.

I thought about it for a while, and then said, "Mom secretly hides and wipes tears all day long, which makes me feel very uncomfortable too!" If I can help her, why won't she speak up? Even if it's something I can't help with, why can't I tell me? If she ......

“…… Xuanxuan, do you think it's a good thing for a person to be told about the future by others? My father interrupted me suddenly.

Inform the future? What the? Why did he start the conversation?

"Nope." Although a little impatient, I still shook my head, "I don't think that's a good thing. ”

"Why?" He continued, "If you encounter something bad in the future, wouldn't you be able to avoid it if you know about it first?" ”

I can't laugh or cry!

"I'm not a fortune teller, Dad, you already know that." I said unpleasantly.

I don't have a good impression of fortune telling, and when I was seven or eight years old, my aunt didn't know who I heard that there was a fortune teller in the community, and he said that as long as he was in the same direction. He was able to tell the eight characters and fate, and the uncle ran to count it as if he were playful, but the man was so frightened that he fell off the chair, but he refused to say anything.

My aunt thought it was funny, and she wanted to take me to see what the man could say, and my mother thought it was funny, but what year did people say I was born? It is certainly not correct to say that the numbers on the household register. Can you still say that I was born in 240 B.C.?

Later, my mother casually told me about my aunt's proposal, which caused me to lose my temper.

I'm very reluctant to do this, I don't like to be "ordained", and if you say it well, you will think that there is such a possibility, right? If you don't say it well, you will feel that why should you fuck it, it must be nonsense. Whatever the outcome is heard, preconceived notions are formed, which limits the real development of the person. That's not fortune telling, it's following a fortune teller.

"Then what if someone else looks too miserable and wants to break that person?" The father continued to ask.

"Are you going to die?" I asked, "Is it to the point where if you don't stretch out your hand, the other person will die?" ”

The father was stunned for a while, shook his head and said, "That's not it." ”

"Then why do you want to break someone's life?" I said unceremoniously, "People are people." He's him, and he's miserable, that's his business. People may not feel miserable at six o'clock. Isn't this attitude of overriding others and manipulating their lives from God's perspective? ”

The father smiled bitterly: "It seems that no matter what I say, you will not listen." ”

I didn't like him to divert the topic, and continued to ask, "Mom, what's wrong with her?" ”

"Well, your mother's ......... has her own inextricable knots. The father whispered, "It has something to do with her past experiences, and some of the frustrations are difficult to solve, so I think back to it." ”

I was a little silent.

"So, since she won't say it, forget it." He looked up at me and smiled again, "Like a silly ancient Greek." ”

"Huh?"

"Think about it, if an ancient Greek ordered his slave to go all the way south, hoping that he would go to the southernmost end and come back to report, only to find that the slave had walked back from the north......"

What the ancient Greeks! What a mess!

The father shook his head: "Because that stupid ancient Greek didn't know that the earth was round. Even if he cries and makes trouble, he still can't change the fact that the earth is round. Those who do not climb to a higher foundation will only feel sad when they find themselves free. ”

My head ached, and I felt as if my father wasn't talking to me, and even his gaze looked extremely dazed.

"You know what? I've met such a person. The father sighed, "I still pity him back then...... Poor guy jumped out and couldn't climb to a higher foundation, he understood that everything was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was. At that time, I thought, tsk, what should I do? Who told you not to continue to be confused? Poor fellow, why did you have to come to your senses so early? And now, I finally found out that I had fallen into his situation. ”

I finally decided to give up talking to my father about it.

It was in this state of chaos that an even greater catastrophe struck.

Xiaopeng's father was suddenly admitted to the hospital due to illness. Not many people know the details of this matter, but what I do know is that he was checked out on the day he was admitted to the hospital. Atrophy of multiple organs and tissues in the body......

In non-medical terms, the person is rapidly collapsing, and medical means cannot contain the rate of deterioration.

get

The week he learned the news, Shi Yunpeng came back from abroad, because this may be the last time he saw his father.

In the second week, even Yang Lei suddenly returned to China. She also learned the news, because this matter is not only aimed at Shi Yunpeng's family.

It was an ominous beginning, and the bodies of the ancients who had been reformed eventually deteriorated.

The death of my grandfather before had caused panic among everyone, but the problem was that my grandfather had only undergone a preliminary transformation, and he was different from my parents and Yang Lei's parents, who had undergone more transformations.

Of course, in view of the defects of the transformation surgery, Director Liang has also done a certain degree of remedies before. He carefully studied the fragments of General Meng Tian's body tissue that he had brought back, and then listed several ways to improve it.

So, starting with me, these ancients had to go to the institute for regular check-ups, and they also had to take some kind of medicine every month to resist the harm caused by surgical defects. Although the side effects of that drug are not serious. It was only a short period of dizziness and nausea, but my dad later joked that every month he was different from the previous month.

"The 20th version of the party did not respond." He used to laugh at his colleagues.

I don't know if the changes in his body are obvious, but I understand that this is not improving, but inhibiting deterioration, and they are all running for a dead end, fast or slow. The method that Director Liang came up with has extended their life expectancy for a long time, and according to Meng Tian's previous example, they should have been seriously damaged within 20 years of the operation. Bad like an overused machine.

Director Liang did everything he could to save their lives, no matter the times of crisis in history. is still a physiological crisis later, but no matter how hard he tries, he can only temporarily "prolong" it, and he can't change the final outcome. There is no elixir of immortality.

And as far as I know, the follow-up treatment also had an even more terrible consequence: because they started taking the medication at the same time, their biological clocks slowly adjusted together.

…… That is, the date of their death. It was absurdly booked at the same time in the future.

They all knew this, they already knew it twenty years ago, and at first this group of people was a little panicked, but then they thought that there would be so many people who would be with them to the end, so death didn't seem so terrible. Director Lei also joked that this is the most helpless "dying back" team in history...... The healthy life day after day of year after year made them slowly forget the threat of death, so that as time passed, they became just like other ordinary people. Knowing that death is the end, I have learned to let go and live freely for the time being.

Now, however, there is finally one of their kind. The organs of the whole body cannot be suppressed, and in the end, they can only survive by relying on tubes and instruments inserted all over their bodies.

Half a month later, Xiaopeng's father passed away.

Huge panic and sorrow shrouded over the families of this group of ancients, and what everyone had been worried about for so many years finally happened, but no one knew who would be next, what would happen to the "second person", and when it would happen.

The institute advised my parents to simply go to the hospital and monitor the situation at any time, but they refused.

At the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Lei and my uncle rejected this suggestion.

None of them wanted to waste the last few hours of time left in the hospital, staring at the equipment to calculate how many days they had left.

But what does that feel like? You know you're going to die, in a way that can't be saved, but you don't know what the next month will be. Next day, or the next second.

Even if I put myself in their shoes, I can't imagine it.

I still go to school as usual, that's what my parents wanted, but now I don't have to wait even an hour outside, I'm at home all the time except for class, and my parents are the same. They don't go anywhere except for work.

We still live as usual, I don't know when. Mom suddenly stopped crying, she wasn't even depressed anymore. It seems that the depression of the previous period is gone. She was back to her former calm state.

It's just in such a desperate situation.

I have always been glad that my father chose a woman like my mother, and in my opinion, the most important thing my father did for me was that he loved my mother deeply.

Everything seems to have returned to the beginning, my parents no longer talk about going abroad, and they no longer talk about my boyfriend, and the three of us are back to the time when everything didn't even start.

At this time, Dad's promotion order was given, and he was promoted to ...... at such a juncture

I secretly speculated that this order came too coincidentally.

Regardless, something is better than nothing.

But I heard my dad say to mom. "The final blow has finally arrived".

At that time, the two of them seemed to be chatting, and Dad said it in a very calm tone, while Mom kept staring into the void, as if thinking about something.

"But it's going to go through the loop of history." "It gave me a bit of courage, as ridiculous as it sounded," she said suddenly. ”

I stood in the doorway, holding the key, silent.

A month later, Aunt Jane was suddenly admitted to the hospital, and her symptoms were exactly the same as those of Xiaopeng's father.

That is the prologue, the prologue of death, and the moment Xiaopeng's father dies, the Grim Reaper officially appears.

…… Director Ray witnessed the death of his wife.

Then, my mother, was the third.

From the moment my mother fell into a coma, I couldn't go to the hospital anymore, it was agreed before. We, the children of the ancients, could not stay in the hospital at the last moment, because no one could bear to witness the terrible tragedy.

My aunt asked me to go to live at her house, because my father went to the hospital to guard my mother, and Aunt Lin also asked me to go to her house. Let me not be left alone at home.

But I won't, this is my own home, my parents are still alive, I can't leave my home.

One Friday afternoon, I came home from school and found my father in the living room, like that. It was like waiting for me to come home.

"Xuanxuan, my mother passed away this afternoon."

He looked at me in a calm tone, but his gaze was complex and sad.

I stiffened there, I looked at him in infinite trance, and suddenly, tears welled up wildly!

I crouched down and started crying loudly. I held my head and I felt my whole body tremble violently......

Then, I felt him crouch down and hug me as well.

My father hugged me, he hugged me very tightly, and his body was shaking, but he used so much force that it seemed to want to hold me back together.

I don't know how long I cried, I finally cried anymore, and I didn't make a sound, but I couldn't stop crying, my hair was scattered, and tears stuck to my cheeks, and my tears and snot made my father's chest wet.

He finally let go of me.

On that cold winter night, we sat side by side on the couch, with no lights on, holding hands like I did when I was a kid.

My eyes couldn't stand the bright light, and I only felt a tingling pain because of the constant tears.

I heard my father whisper, "...... Xuanxuan, there is one thing I must tell you".

"What?" I asked in a dumb voice.

"No, not a thing, but a request." He turned his face to look at me, "You have to promise me." ”

"What is it?" I looked at him.

"Xuanxuan, in your life, I mean...... In the rest of your life, you may experience a lot of hardships. ”

He whispered, "But none of those will kill you." ”

I opened my tearful eyes, and I saw my father's eyes, so determined in the darkness.

"You're going to have a very dangerous moment. When you are in danger, your mother and I will come to your rescue. He paused, "I want you to remember that." ”

I started crying again, I couldn't figure out why he was saying this, what else could I do but cry?

“…… Xuanxuan, you can't give up hope at any time, you know? He held my hand firmly and he stared into my eyes, "You must remember that Mom and Dad will come to your rescue at that time, even if we have been dead for many years." ”

I was crying so much that I couldn't speak, but he grabbed me by the shoulders and forced me to look him in the eye.

"You have to remember that, Xuanxuan. You can't forget it at any time. He said. He leaned into my ear again and said in a very small voice, "Have you forgotten? History can be traversed, so in the future, my mother and I will jump in front of you at some point and save you from the bad guys. ”

I looked at him in amazement and said in confusion, "...... It's true? Can you really come and save me? Are you sure? ”

"I promise. Good daughter, we promise. ”

He stared at me in an intimate tone.

Later, many, many more years passed.

I'm getting older, I've been to a lot of places, I've lived a long time, and I've occasionally looked back on my life. Only then did I realize that there are so many people and things that have passed through the long river of my life, some people, who can accompany me for many years, some people. But they missed each other in an instant, and they never saw each other again......

I had forgotten a lot of things, but then, I slowly remembered them, and in the end, those past events that made me drink enemies became whispers in the wind, sleeping in my memories.

However, there was a voice that I never forgot, not even the intimate taste in that tone.

Until I was old, very old, so old that I almost forgot who I was and how many years I lived, I could still remember what he said, his voice.

That's the voice that accompanied me. I can even be sure that as long as my life exists, it will always ring in my ears.

So, because of its existence, I can finally face the front calmly.

Whenever.

“…… It's true? Can you really come and save me? Are you sure? ”

"I promise. Good daughter, we promise. ”
