"It's me who messaged you." Li Er nodded lightly.

I nodded, not showing any emotion, thinking that I should have known it a long time ago.

"Why go to Gega Monastery? Don't have a computer in the office? ”

"Such important information, I have to try it before I tell you." Li Er replied, "The stone bones of Xiazhuang can be Yu Gejia, Mr. should have tried it, and I should know that my words are true." ”

I stopped talking, and looked at the old man in front of me, but I couldn't match the mighty image in the illusion.

I hadn't noticed it before, but then I realized that he did have some similarities with me, especially the slightly drooping corners of his eyes, and the angles and shapes were exactly the same.

Li Er was also looking at me, with a slight cloudy light in his eyes.

It's been a long time.

"You've suffered." Li Er suddenly spoke, as if he had punctured something in the room.

"I know." I snorted, "More than you think!" ”

"What I say and what you think is not the same thing." Li Er seemed to laugh, "You don't have to be so ......"

"What do you mean?" I heard something wrong in his words.

"It means that you shouldn't have been who you are now, but you're also a mistake!"

I shook my head and pointed outside, "They're a mistake I made, so of course I'm a mistake too, and that's not weird, is it?" ”

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, this is not strange. ”

"I was supposed to be the same as Lu Yan?" I asked.

"You shouldn't be me, at least not now." Li Er stood up and leaned on the back window to look out, outside was the city wall leading to the immortal tree.

"I'm not here to say this!" He looked at it for a while and turned around, "Huaqu told me that there may be another pill missing, and a new mutation has appeared?" ”

"I'm not sure, I'm just telling him that there is a Gega who is not afraid of water." I explained, I couldn't understand why they were all nervous like this.

Li Er obviously saw this, sighed and explained, "You guys are completely different from our time this time. ”

He said this with pronouns in it, but I understood it completely, didn't ask any questions, and waited quietly for him to explain.

"We were a normal mutation that time, and I made a decision to lead my clan to take the pill and help them replace the old ones."

"But you're different." Li Er lowered his shoulders backwards, as if to let go of some burden on his body, "You guys are an accident, so unexpected that even if I am in your position, I don't know what to do." ”

"As the old man to be replaced, I don't know what you have to do." Li Er let out a breath.

"Aren't you an old man too?"

"I'm an old man too, but I have the help of my clansmen. You're alone, and as far as I know, it's the newcomers who can stand on your side...... That is, the Gega you want to destroy! ”

Li Er's body stiffened for a moment, as if he felt that he was off topic again, and said: "Actually, I came to you for two purposes, one is that I want to tell you that if you want to restore the authority of the old people, the enemies you face may not be one or two. The two are that the immortal fruit will ripen tomorrow, and no matter what your choice is, you have to go. ”

"You're talking about other pills?" I ignored his second point.

"Yes, this world is very big, we don't know how many mutations of the same origin but different species will be in this accident, you may have to face more than just Gega and the plague people, what else we can't know!"

"Even if you are ready to let the human race survive with Gega, you may have to face more mutant races, they are not Gega, and they will not obey ......" Li Er paused for a moment, "E, isn't that the name?" ”

I didn't answer him, I thought for a moment and said, "I can't take care of that, I can only do what is in front of me." ”

"Our importance is not just that our blood can be made into an elixir against mutation, it is just a power to correct mistakes. You're not him, you're just a part of the inheritance, the kind of power that can really support the choice, you don't have! Li Er was like a lonely old man chattering, chattering endlessly.

I was already numb to the slightly different but roughly identical truths. And an emotion that bordered on self-pity suddenly erupted from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm just a part of the lineage, but maybe I can do things that none of you can do!" I put it aside and turned to walk towards the third floor.

Li Er didn't answer, and the feeling coming from behind, I seemed to feel that he was a gesture of approval.

Halfway up the stairs, I suddenly turned around and asked, "I know you had a plan for that time, but you also have the right to choose, right?" ”

Li Er definitely didn't expect me to ask this question, and nodded a little stunned.

"Also as an old man, I don't believe you don't even have a little attachment, why did you make your choice?"

Li Er's expression suddenly became gentle, like a dying old man remembering his youthful years again.

"I'm in love with a girl......"

Hearing this answer, I laughed, said nothing more, and turned to go upstairs.

Upstairs there was also a woman I loved, who was waiting for me with my baby.

……

"What did he say?" Xiao Kan greeted him, with the uneasiness of forcibly suppressing it.

"It's nothing, it's about some old things, and it has nothing to do with us." I explained blithelessly.

"That's good!" Xiao Kan believes, as always.

"By the way, he said that tomorrow the longevity fruit will be ripe." I pretended to say something unintentionally, and my tone was like walking back in the morning and telling my wife that I had met Wang Xiaoer next door.

"Oh." Xiao Kan turned around, "Then you have to eat some pork liver and replenish your blood first." ”

I laughed, pulled Xiao Kan's shoulder, and whispered, "The only pig I can find right now is you." ”

Xiao Kan also smiled and twisted the soft flesh around my waist.

Some itchy pain sweetens my heart.

Li Er did not live in my small building, but went to a place not far from us. When I went downstairs at noon, I saw a few boxes of old ginseng and a note on the second floor, which read: "Don't go back, don't worry about the rest."

I smiled, they didn't know anything about E, no wonder he looked at me with such pity.

Xiao Kan was very well-behaved today, and I could see that she was trying to make me happy, but only when I wasn't paying attention, she would show that sad expression, as if my pain tomorrow had fallen on her in advance.

The day passed quickly, and Xiao Kan kept holding on, but finally fell asleep under my strong persuasion. The treasure light from outside came in, and the sadness was no longer stopped, and it spread thickly on her face......

A shadow fell on her face, and I looked back to see her standing in a white dress against the window.

"She's giving birth...... "E. said.

I nodded.

"Tomorrow is coming, are you ready?" Ask me.
