Chapter 46: Have You Studied Evolution?
Rong Yusi looked at me strangely, "How big do you think I am?" ”
I said in my heart that you are not an ordinary person, can you still look as old as you are?
"You're as big as you look?"
I think she may be angry, and she dropped a sentence, "I'm eight or eight years old, how old do you count me?" ”
"Eighty-eight years, eighty-eight A.D.?" I asked seriously.
"How did you come up with something as idiotic as you?" Rong Yusi scolded.
I stopped talking, and wondered whether it would be 1888 or 1988.
"We are about the same age as you, but some people can live to be more than two hundred years old." Rong Yusi sighed.
"Well, you go on and say, I won't interrupt you!"
"Where's that? By the way, the Witch Clan has brought out a mysterious army from the mountains, they have a different ability than us, and their numbers are expanding very quickly! ”
"What ability?" I thought to myself, you people's abilities are terrifying enough, what ability can be more powerful than you?
Rong Yusi pointed to his head, "It's wisdom!" Although some of our people's brains are generally not very good, many peoples have high wisdom, but they are different from us, their wisdom is not used to how to live like us, but to kill! Rong Yusi's tone turned cold, as if he had seen the bloody killing field back then!
"They made weapons that we had never heard of, they didn't have the sharpest bone spurs and claws we had, but they made a lot of knives and spears out of stone and metal. They don't have the same strength as we do, but they can harness the elasticity of ropes and trees. They can't fly into the sky, but everywhere we fly we have to face the bows and arrows that are everywhere on the ground. They cast fire upon us and brought the flood to our dwellings. They can make the animals fight for them, and they can make the mountains and rivers make way for them! ”
"This is the time of war, and all of us are aware of the crisis, putting aside our enmity and coming together to fight their attack. Although we have a strong individual strength, but when the two armies face each other, we find that the war is not dominated by individual combat power, on the battlefield where blood flows, it is always them who clean up the battlefield, we call them newcomers! ”
"The Wu have won, they have gained this world, and the remnants of us can only survive in the constant hunting, those people with special appearances are gradually slaughtered, and those of us who are not much different in appearance from the newcomers have survived among them."
As she spoke, I felt a chill in my heart, because I realized that the mysterious army she was talking about, the kind of newcomers she was talking about, were us!
"Have you studied evolution?" I thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to say, so I took such a sentence.
"We've been studying this history since then, trying to figure out where this powerful race came from, but we've never figured it out." Rong Yusi paused for a moment, "Darwin thought that apes had evolved, but when he came into contact with us, he himself disproved this idea. Generally speaking, we are divided into two factions on this issue, one is that you evolved from animals, but we did not find out until the Wicans discovered you. But this is simply impossible, the earth is far from the size of the universe, how can there be a species that has developed to such a terrifying level that it can not be detected by us? And the other faction, the one I agree with, thinks that the Wu clan made you! ”
How is this possible, we are obviously evolved from monkeys, how can it be some mysterious army created by the Wu Clan? I wanted to oppose it but couldn't think of a reason to oppose it, the only thing that could support me was the theory of evolution, but according to her, people themselves overthrew themselves! Is it just that what she said is false? That kind of rebuttal is too weak.
"But there's fossil evidence for evolution!" I thought for a moment and retorted.
"But there's also a blank period!" Rong Yu thought.
I was speechless again, and I was terrified, and the history told by Rong Yusi completely turned my worldview upside down, and this horror surpassed the feeling of facing any otherness.
"We have hid ourselves among you, not daring to show any traces, except to perpetuate our race. This is divided into two factions, one is like their King Kong, proud and stubborn to maintain the pride of pure blood. The other is like us, willing to find a new person who understands us to get married, seeking the fusion of blood. Rong Yusi smiled, "But our genes are very stubborn, it is difficult to make any changes, my father is a newcomer, but I am still a blood ghost." ”
"Xiaohua doesn't like you because of this?" I asked.
"Yes, they think we are beasts of human-animal hybrids and cannot tolerate it." Rong Yusi smiled contemptuously, "But their pride didn't hold on, and now they haven't picked up your tools and learned your knowledge, otherwise I'm afraid it's all them who ask for food on the street!" ”
I think the amount of information tonight is a bit large, and I have to digest it, so I waved my hand and said, "It's not early, you go to bed quickly, you have to drive tomorrow, let's walk along the wall to see if there is a way out." ”
Rong Yusi looked at me, "Are you still willing to be together?" ”
"Of course, why separate?" I thought for a moment and asked by the way, "Are you really sucking blood?" ”
"Of course! But it's not for food, our body is very resilient, but we need to suck blood to make up for the energy that our body needs to heal quickly, don't ask me what energy it is, I don't know. ”
I suddenly realized, no wonder Xiaohua cured her so quickly, there was still such a strong smell of blood in the car, and the feeling was to feed blood, "Then what do you do now?" Suck me? ”
"No, there's a blood bag in the car." Rong Yusi smiled happily, "Thank you!" ”
"No, no, no, it should be," I was originally joking, and I was embarrassed to see how she was moved, "then go drink and sleep, I'll keep vigil." ”
"You just go to sleep, I basically don't have to sleep." Rong Yusi suddenly approached me, "Si'an, do you have any stories you don't want to tell me?" ”
My heart was full of what Rong Yusi told me, how could I have the heart to sort out my story, waved my hand and said, "Later, I'll go to sleep first." ”
Rong Yusi nodded and said very seriously: "Si'an, in fact, you are not an ordinary person!" ”
Under the foreshadowing of her narration, this sentence exploded in my ears like thunder, and my mind went blank for an instant, and I didn't know what to grunt in my throat, so I hurriedly jumped out of the car and got into the cab as if I was dodging.
Rong Yusi didn't say anything, and I looked out the back window, and she was still sitting cross-legged on the car body with her back to me, unmoving. I turned to look ahead, the shadow of the wall under the moonlight, and countless strange people surged in my heart, which made my blood boil, but there was a big question mark lingering in my mind, what did Rong Yusi's last sentence mean? Could it be that I, who don't have a surname, really aren't human either?
The moonlit night was as silent as ice for hundreds of millions of years, and Rong Yusi and I sat opposite each other through the car window, without saying anything all night.
