Gala often wondered how long it had been since she started working with Yu Su.

How long has it been since the death of the Mirage?

She often loses her sense of the passage of time, and because of her own long life, she occasionally turns around in a daze and finds herself squatting with a dozing bird at her feet, which is interesting and wonders why she has been stunned for so long. However, when she got up, she saw Yu Su looking at her not far away, her eyes were calm, and she didn't know how long she had been watching.

In addition to his purpose, Yu Su can be said to have done his best for the development of the tribe, a small tribe was only a few thousand people at its peak, but he had to take care of all the affairs of the clan, big and small, as a human being, it was too tired.

Gala walked through the starry valley at night, returning to the camp with a body of dew and prey in her hands, and often saw that the big tent where Yu Su was still lit up. Calculate the harvest, count the manpower, count the trade income, calculate the astronomy and geography, where it comes from and where it will go, count the dark river flowing underground, calculate how to maintain the perfect balance between escapism and accession to the WTO.

Yu Yu bought all kinds of books depicting geographical mountains and rivers, especially geological records, from those who could buy them at a high price, and he always paid more attention and exploration whenever he went to a place, and he memorized a lot of them, and then drew many detailed topographic maps.

Gala always pays more attention to the things that Yu Su values, she originally wanted to rely on the awakening to get from Yu Su's mouth, but then the hole cards were gone, Yu Su still showed and wanted to cooperate with her, so she agreed.

Gala's shadow was reflected in the tent by the moonlight, and with a slight flicker, Yu Su raised his head and said with a smile, "You're back." ”

"You really know what I'm going on."

"Someone saw you when you went out at dusk, and I wasn't supervising you." Yu Su explained, and then said, "Why didn't you go to find a thousand mirages? ”

"He must be drooling from sleep at this point." Speaking of his lack of interest, Gala asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"The topographic map, which specifically marks the direction of the underground dark river, is speculative, but it is not unreasonable."

"Didn't you draw it yourself?"

"This one is not," Yu Su looked down and said, "It was given to me by a traveler surnamed Song who likes to write the map of the scriptures." A thousand mirages haunt you when he comes, and you won't have time to see him. ”

"Song?" Gala raised her chin slightly, and thought, "I seem to remember where I read the travelogue written by the author surnamed Song." ”

This author is said to use his real name and surname, and his ancestors are also old-school nobles, but they are still in decline, and there are many legends about his family, which have more or less had a good or bad impact on him.

Yu Su's ability to understand a certain dynasty and country in the outside world is purely because his hands are long enough, and the heads of the businessmen he deals with are basically planted by him. Gala, on the other hand, runs around on two legs, but her abilities are unusual, and it is not difficult to travel through the countries on her own.

"He is the only one who can do this so famously, and that's probably what he wrote." Yu said: "People with a temperament, if they talk about speculation, they will give away their hard work." He smiled slightly.

Gala walked over to look at it, and he didn't shy away from letting Gala see it.

It is indeed only a geographical map, but it is rare to mark the speculation of the underground environment, what these data represent in the eyes of a long-term researcher like Yu Su, Gala could not immediately understand, but just looking at Yu Su's surprised eyes, he knew that this was definitely a good thing for him.

Yu Su is a person who will have the greatest effect in everything he says, and he rarely says useless, meaningless, and purposeless nonsense, even if it sounds like just small talk at first glance, it will definitely not be as simple as it seems.

Accustomed to chewing on what he said repeatedly, Yu Su took the scroll away and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

I wondered, and Gala raised her eyelids and said, "I wonder why you changed your mind." ”

"Maybe at first you thought I was as awake as you were and was in the same camp as you, but you almost immediately found out that this was not the case, but you were still willing to continue to cooperate. Why? ”

Yu Yu slowly arranged the objects on the table in the same way, and thought, "I think you have always misunderstood me very much. ”

"You're always wondering if I'm going to get something out of you, and people who can't bring me practical benefits are nothing in my eyes, I'm just independent, calculating, and don't have any human emotions...... Is that so? ”

Gala looked at him without speaking.

Yu Su's face softened a little in the light, and every time Gala looked at his face and thought that this skin was just one of his thousands of tools, that his native area was still gathering and floating underground like a large field of aquatic plants, and that the original owner of this body was long dead, a creepy feeling would sprout.

But Yu Su was obviously unaware of this, this was his way of living, he habitually smiled, said, "Why did I keep you," paused, raised his head and asked, "Didn't you keep my life too?" Whether you did it voluntarily or not, at least you don't want to do anything to me at this time. ”

He finally finished cleaning up the things on the table, bent down and took out another stack, opened the scattered on the table, and let people be busy with the tribal accounting.

"The more important reason is that I am becoming more and more aware that I can only truly feel my presence when you are by my side."

Yu said: "I was really disdainful of you at first, and I always wondered why there was such a stupid and loyal person as you? Now that we're finally out of the wilderness and we're starting to do our own thing, we realize that we're essentially doing the same thing. It's just that you have crossed your own position and surrendered yourself to entangle with a mortal, while I have retained my own position. ”

"So in the hundreds of years that you have been immersed in illusions, I often feel lonely." Yu said: "Discipline them, and shepherd, there is no difference in my place, the more I calculate their population reproduction, the more I strip myself, the more I feel that the years in front of me are illusory in this kind of plan, because the people in front of me are only young children, and I have planned to go to the next three generations." Sometimes when I come back to my senses and think of a few names, I am told that they have been dead for many years and that their grandchildren have given birth. At this time, you are the only one who can experience the same loneliness as me. ”

"So ......" Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "I was not used to seeing you indulge in mortals, except that I wanted to leave the barren land, and perhaps because I had instinctively foreseen this loneliness. I will be surrounded by such loneliness all the time, and you will be able to make time faster, even if it is only a moment of happiness, and you can sustain you with anticipation for hundreds of years. I couldn't do it, there was no such condition for me to do it. ”

"To put it bluntly, I'm jealous of you and want to pull you from the depths of my heart into the same torment as me, whether you wake up or not."

Yu Yu pointed his finger on the table: "So, do you know more about me?" ”

Instead of answering, Gala asked, "Do you often dissect yourself like that?" ”

Yu Su was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly: "Yes, otherwise I will be as lost as you." ”

"I guess I know a little bit," Gala nodded, exhaling, "So, you don't know how long your current life is going to last. You know what you're going to do, but you don't know if it's the right way. ”

"I don't know." Yu said, "I am as confused as you. ”

Gala finally gave him oil and withdrew from the tent on the eve of dawn.

Taking advantage of the boundless night, taking advantage of the moment when human beings are the most sleepy and sleepy, when everything is silent and the stars are silent, Gala spends fast through the night, galloping away in the direction of her most premonition.

Finally, after dawn, stepping on the morning light, Gala rushed to the front of the traveler surnamed Song.

The traveler was of ordinary appearance, but tall and strong, with bright eyes, and very outgoing and talkative.

Gala pretended to be a local diaspora and had a brief conversation with him, before expressing her desire to exchange with him.

She took out a layer of wrapped things, opened them carefully, and said, "They have all changed things with you, and the herbs I picked at home are good, and they can be exchanged." ”

The traveler's name was Song Qi, and it was common for people who traveled around to new places and tribes to exchange their currency and objects with people of the tribe, and Gala guessed that Song Qi would not be an exception.

Sure enough, Song Qi bent over to look at the dark black herb in her hand, reached out and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Gala's eyes flicked down, and she casually made up: "Dragon Binding Grass, it can cure heart palpitations and madness, it will be effective when you eat it, and it can also clear your eyes, okay, do you want to change it with me?" ”

Gala's face was tender, and Song Qi asked, "Little girl, why did you catch up with me?" What are the reasons? ”

"Did someone exchange something with you with a bracelet today?" Gala said: "It was left to me by my deceased mother, he secretly took it, and you exchanged it for me." ”

Song Qi touched it, there was really such a thing, and he didn't want to embarrass a little girl who chased here overnight, so he smiled and exchanged it with her.

Gala pinched the bracelet of the innocent thousand mirages and said, "I don't want you to pity me, this herb is really a good thing, I don't believe you can give it a try." ”

Her tone was tough and couldn't be refused: "I'll give it to you right now." ”
