Wake up......

It's the first thing every living person and I do every day.

The sun rises and sets, and we live according to this order.

- Teal New Testament Part 1: Soil

……

When Lin Sen woke up, he was lying on a bed that was not very comfortable, and even a little sloppy and dirty.

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt the pain in my lower back, and I smelled a strange smell in my nose.

got out of bed and came to the living room, and saw Lin Yan cooking, Lin Xue standing at the door practicing the piano, and his father holding his newly bought crystal plate, smoking and watching cartoons.

"What does it smell like?" Lin Sen frowned and sat down.

"Garlic." Lin Yan replied.

"Garlic?" Lin Sen felt very strange, eating garlic early in the morning?

"Yes! What you yelled for last night, the first thing that grew out of the garden! Lin Yan came over with the dishes.

Lin Sen fixed his eyes and saw that it was the leftover python antelope legs from last week, and there was a row of white jade-like garlic neatly stacked next to it.

"Totally boiled! Basically keep the original flavor! Lin Yan smiled and put down the plate.

Lin Sen could only smile awkwardly.

"Dad, stop looking, let's eat." Lin Yan forcibly put away the crystal plate in her father's hand.

"Hmm......" Lin Han, who was a little unsatisfied, picked up his chopsticks and looked at the things on the table, and said in the same confusion as his son: "Garlic? ”

"That's right! Oops......"

Lin Yan didn't hold it steady, and broke a plate.

The crisp sound was accompanied by the sound of Lin Sen chewing food.

Is garlic......

Something that grows in the soil.

……

"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility?"

"How can this kind of expression be interesting!"

"Huh? Isn't that right? ”

"Huh...... Of course not! ”

"The environment doesn't need you to protect, and the earth is even more so! There are times when it's hotter than now, and there are many times when it's much colder than now, but what about the earth? It's just a few bits of concern, what we really have to do is protect ourselves! Protect us humans! ”

"Hmm...... Is it? ”

"Isn't it?! Think about it! ”

……

Although he didn't remember where he had heard this conversation, Lin Sen kept repeating it in his ears after waking up again.

It's just that Lin Sen, who woke up this time, found that it was still dark outside the house, and the room was quiet, and there was no sound.

"Sister?" Lin Sen got up and came outside, and he knocked on the door next door.

"Knock knock!"

"Sister?! Did you sleep? ”

No one answered.

Lin Sen was a little scared, he wanted to push open the door to see clearly, but he didn't dare to do so.

So in the end, Lin Sen kept a fantasy that they were just asleep and didn't hear it.

But when Lin Sen came to the living room, he found that in front of the table in the dining room, his father's crystal plate was still playing cartoons on the table, and the smell of smoke was still in the air.

Lin Sen walked over and saw that it was a fairly old antique cartoon.

It's called "The Mole's Tale...... I don't know where my father got the data stream...... I am even more curious about why those ancestors saved this cartoon when they left the earth.

Seeing the little mole calling his friends after discovering the predator appearing, Lin Sen smiled slightly.

But suddenly he felt someone watching him in the dark.

So he jerked his head back and looked over warily.

only to find ...... There was nothing in the darkness, including his own room and the door that he didn't have the courage to push open......

It's all gone.

……

"I love what grows in the soil! It feels amazing! Lin Sen squatted beside the vegetable garden and said.

But Lin Yan didn't have a smile on her face at all, she pulled Lin Sen up with a cold face and said, "But your hands are used to play the piano!" It's not for digging the ground! Do you know how your father will punish you if you get hurt here?! ”

Lin Sen's smile was still there, but it froze.

He looked at the dirt on his fingertips, and all joy was washed away, and all that was left was nothing but filth and disgust.

……

"A harmonious natural order?

Don't say it so noble! We are always at odds with the natural order! Because we have our own order! ”

"So...... Do you still insist on believing that humans don't need to do anything for nature at all!? ”

"What?"

"I mean......"

"I know what you mean! I'm wondering, why haven't you understood what I mean?! ”

"That'...... What do you mean? ”

"Don't let us be the shortest fragment on the planet, that's what I mean!"

……

When I woke up again, it was still dark, but not because of the night, but because the sky was gloomy and terrible, and the wind was howling, and it seemed that a rainstorm was coming.

"Brother! Leave the vegetable garden alone! It's a big deal to replant it! Lin Xue pushed Lin Yan and ran into the house.

Lin Sen was still standing in the courtyard.

He looked at the green vegetables in front of him and felt their vitality...... Compared to humans, they look so fragile......

With a flash of lightning, Lin Sen came back to his senses, and he hurriedly entered the house.

Accompanied by thunder, the rain curtain made the world extremely hazy.

Lin Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, her face was very bad, it was caused by the pain caused by the rainy day, but she was trying her best to restrain it......

"Sister?!" After Lin Xue found out, she hurriedly squatted down and rubbed Lin Yan's legs, she tried to relieve Lin Yan's pain with the temperature of her palm rubbing.

It didn't help, but Lin Yan still reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Lin Sen stood in front of the door, watching the rain outside the window getting heavier and heavier, and soon the yard was flooded, and the vegetables in the garden were basically finished.

But......

A few days later, when Lin Sen returned home exhausted, he found Lin Xue and Lin Yan next to the vegetable garden, with joy on their faces.

Finding that Lin Sen was back, Lin Xue beckoned: "Brother! Come and see, come and see! ”

"Huh?" Putting down the tools, Lin Sen walked over.

As a result, I saw a small seedling growing in the place pointed by Lin Xue.

"It's sprouting again!!" Lin Xue said happily.

Lin Sen couldn't believe his eyes, he thought that with the rainstorm, the vegetable garden had suffered an apocalyptic destruction.

But in just a few days, new seedlings have grown from the depths of the dark soil.

Squatting down, he cautiously reached out to touch the immature seedling, and the moment he felt it, Lin Sen's surprise turned into a smile of relief, but he soon became dazed......

Life that once seemed so fragile, once insignificant compared to humans, is now vulnerable and inferior...... Or is it tenacious beyond imagination?!

……

"Everyone is sad in their hearts, he is a great man, a pure man, a man who has escaped from low tastes! And I quote this comment from a great man to express my nostalgia for my dear friend, because I hope that more people will be able to understand, understand his sincere words, and hope that his will can be inherited and carried forward! ”

There was no eulogy from the pastor, and there was no crowd of people to see each other off.

When his coffin was placed in the tomb, only a little boy was present who did not cry.

The little figure standing beside her mother watched quietly as her father left, watching the earth fill the grave.

At the end of the burial, the little boy was still standing in front of the tombstone.

Seeing this, the man who had appeared as an opponent motioned to the butler to wait, and then he returned to the tombstone and stood with the little boy.

"Your father was a great man, perhaps not so famous, but his will is precious to us, and we were once rivals, but now we ...... I finally realized that we were more like friends who didn't treat each other so well. ”

Hearing this, the little boy raised his head and looked at the man beside him and said, "Uncle, can you answer me a question?" ”

"Huh?" The man looked at the little boy suspiciously, he squatted down and said with a smile, "Yes." ”

The little boy looked at the newly filled soil quietly, and after a long time said, "I used to have a friend, but Yu'er, he listened to me every day, and never got angry at me, but such a good friend still rotted...... I was so sad that I took it to my father, but my father told me that Yu'er was not dead! It just needs to be buried in the soil, and then it only takes a year for it to come back to life! ”

The man smiled slightly when he heard this, and was infected by the boy's innocence, so he smiled and said, "What about later?" Did Yu'er come back to life later? ”

The boy turned his head to look at the man in front of him and said, "After a year, the place where the rain was buried did grow new seedlings, but it will take many years until it grows and bears fruit, and I slowly began to understand that it is actually just a continuation of the seed of life, and the resurrection does not exist, after all, even if it is another ten years later, the honey huguo tree will blossom and bear fruit and grow exactly the same fruit as the rain, and my quiet friend will not be able to come back, right?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on the man's face froze, and he suddenly found that there was no childlike innocence and innocence in the eyes of the little boy in front of him, but there was no turbidity and vicissitudes, just a lake like no wind sweeping, quiet to the extent that there was not the slightest ripple.

"Uncle?" The boy saw that the man in front of him had not spoken, so he tugged at his sleeve.

The man who came back to his senses looked at the boy, his expression was no longer so kind, and he replied: "Yes, you are right, life can be continued, but it can never be repeated, but ......"

The man stood up as he spoke, looked at the tomb and said, "But there is far more than one form of life, even if we don't have soil in our hearts, we can still give birth to a new future, this is my answer." ”

The boy listened quietly, and then he smiled: "Thank you, uncle. ”

The man didn't look at him again, he turned away, his steps a little hurried, as if he were fleeing.

As his car left, a woman hurried into the cemetery, and when she saw the boy, she yelled, "Yang Di! Do you know how long I've been looking for you?! ”

Yang Di looked at the stepmother in front of him, looked back at his father's tombstone and said, "Dad, Yu'er will come back." ”

……

Watching Yang Di, who was still a child, being dragged away by the young stepmother.

Lin Sen's heart is complicated.

He originally thought that Yang Di's family should be a very warm kind...... But now it seems that in order to re-bury his will in the soil, the man who is now lying in the coffin sacrificed a lot.

"After hopeless thoughts were buried in the boy's heart, he no longer had expectations for the world." The speaker crouched down, grabbed a handful of wet dirt and put it down again.

Lin Sen looked at him and asked, "So that third person...... Is it Yang Di? ”

He laughed when he heard this, and did not answer, nor did he deny.

He just said: "There are many variables in the immediate future, but it doesn't mean that the dark idea is the truth." ”

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Is this considered a denial? ’

"I don't understand...... If no one has malicious intent, then what is all that we have suffered? ”

He looked at Lin Sen and asked rhetorically, "What are you burying vegetable seeds in the dark, damp and cold ground?" ”

Lin Sen frowned.

"Is it to watch it reproduce more of its kind, or to eat it to ensure your own vitamin needs?" He smiled, and his tone did not contain the slightest question and righteousness.

Although Lin Sen was asked rhetorically, he did not feel the slightest discomfort.

He thought about it seriously and replied: "Even a Buddha knows that if you don't eat grains, mortal disciples can't spread goodwill and love in the world, so I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to give each of my meals more combinations." ”

Hearing this, he patted Lin Sen on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this is the answer." ”

That's the answer?!

Lin Sen was shocked, all his previous good feelings were suddenly gone, and now he began to develop a disgust for a despised person.

"But we're not vegetables, we're living people! It is flesh and blood, and it has a soul! How can we be like vegetables, just a ...... under a bland thought" Lin Sen couldn't describe that feeling, but being compared to it so humbly and cheaply, Lin Sen couldn't accept it anyway.

But he said: "Don't be so nervous, I am also a human being, I also have lovers, and I have many, many good memories, so how can I discuss the issue of extinction so lightly." ”

Lin Sen looked at him in front of him, a little suspicious.

He didn't explain much, just moved his finger lightly, and the world changed dramatically.

The cemetery is gone, and they come to a brand new place.

A place that was extremely unfamiliar to Lin Sen.

Look around, it's a futuristic city with a sense of technology.

The so-called super-future is a concept proposed by a scholar named Ou Han Moheng who is on the same page as Yang Di, in his argument, although the existing human dome structure is great, it is still the initial product of scientific and technological creation, and it does not get rid of the existing thinking of the understanding of "city".

Therefore, Ohhan Moheng proposed a concept of "super-future".

In his vision, the super-future city is a centripetal structure that approximates a huge sphere, all the buildings, roads, everything is built around the center, where the human travel mode will jump from a two-dimensional point-to-point straight line to a three-dimensional angle flow, which roughly means that if you want to go somewhere, as long as you set the angle, you can freely go back and forth depending on the centripetal force of the city center, and with the size of the city and the population reaching a relatively stable critical point, There is no contradiction between people.

Of course, some people have said, since we want to imagine, why not just build the future city into a huge thinking core, and then link everyone's thoughts together, everyone can create their own world, and then communicate and reach the world they want to go through sharing and so on?

At that time, Ohan Moheng gave only one reply, because ...... "Golden Birdcage!" ”

……

Walking in such a dizzying city, Lin Sen was a little difficult to adapt.

However, he is in good shape, and even enjoys this kind of conceptual innuendo.

"Order is a very interesting thing, just as temperature can change the basic form of matter." As he spoke, he walked up to a fountain, and as soon as he raised his hand, the cold air gushed out, and the water that had no fixed form became a wonderful, freehand ice sculpture of natural art.

Residents passing by were amazed, but they didn't stop to take pictures, but continued to do their own thing with smiles on their faces.

"So...... That's why you took me to see the city? Lin Sen asked.

He smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and the ice sculpture turned into flowing water again.

"No, my only reason is to want you to see more, more, something that you are so used to turning a blind eye to." He walked over and stood in front of Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at him and stopped talking.

"Do you like the way you are?" He asked.

Lin Sen was a little inexplicable, he thought for a while and replied, "It's not bad, there's nothing to hate." ”

He smiled when he heard this: "The way you speak is really interesting, it seems that you are careful all the time, this is not good, this is not like you, not like you who tore up the score in front of your father in the first place." ”

When Lin Sen heard this, he felt disgusted in his heart...... He had seen the power of this existence, and naturally understood why he knew so much, but it was for Lin Sen to leave no stone unturned to expose like this...... Some are hard to accept.

"Oh yes! Speaking of sheet music, I suddenly thought of a better answer to your question. ”

"Oh?"

"Did you just want to ask me why humanity has to accept such destruction and regeneration of the Center Veil?"

Lin Sen thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I would love to know the answer." ”

He understood, and then raised his hand, and a sheet of music appeared in his hand.

"Familiar?"

Lin Sen took it and saw that this was a well-known piano piece - "The Mark of the Rain".

Not to mention Lin Sen, as long as everyone hears this song, the rhythm can be restored with simple syllables.

"Well, familiar, this is one of the practice repertoire I used to do when I was a kid."

"That's good." As soon as he said this, his eyes moved, and the music score in Lin Sen's hand suddenly burned.

Lin Sen was startled and threw the score on the ground, watching it disappear little by little, burning into ashes.

"Did I just burn Mark of the Rain?" He asked.

When Lin Sen heard this, he said: "No, it's just a happy ......" Before he finished speaking, Lin Sen understood.

"It's just a sheet music, isn't it?" He looked at Lin Sen and said softly: "Music doesn't disappear because the score is burned, even if no one remembers the original movement, so...... The seed is buried in the soil, and even if the fruit that grows is no longer the quiet friend that the little boy remembers, can you deny the power of life and its cycle? ”
