Chapter Seventy-Two: Another World
I didn't feel too strange, although I didn't know what he meant by this, but since Lu Yan was Lu Yuan back then, it was not surprising that he and Zhang Guoqing knew each other. After all, they were born and died together, and each person's circumstances are different, so it can only be said that they have created their own creations.
Lu Yan held the antlers in his hand and stood silent in the face of the courtyard wall that Zhang jumped out of on National Day. I walked up behind him and asked tentatively, "Lu Yuan?" ”
Lu Yan turned his head suddenly, "How do you know?" ”
"Professor Feng's letter mentioned that we would see Lu Yuan again, and we deduced that Zhang Guoqing should be this monster before, and from Professor Feng's tone, we felt that it was Lu Yuan. But Liu Shishi and I both think that the name Lu Yuan is very similar to your name, and you are too familiar with this place, so we suspect that you are Lu Yuan! ”
Our inference is very arbitrary and even conjectural, and we feel that there are a lot of loopholes when we say it at the moment, but Lu Yan did not refute it, but turned his head away, still looking at the wall silently.
"I'm not!" After a while, Lu Yan lightly dropped a sentence, turned around and left.
You're not? Is it not Lu Yuan, is it Zhang Guoqing? I followed closely, confused. After walking a few steps, he was suddenly relieved, why did Lu Yan have to be one of the three back then? Couldn't Lu Yan be Lu Yan?
I feel like I'm stuck in the kind of conspiracy theories that I hate and can't get rid of, and I have to include Lu Yan, who has a mysterious origin, into the category of non-humans.
Lu Yan walked up the steps and entered the main house. I followed him, feeling a little hairy. Is this guy going to open the underground tunnel? Then will we enter the secret passage again, through small buildings and wells, and re-enter the vast underground world, and then in a series of life and death experiences, we will return to a summer village built on a tree again? Isn't all this like a child looking at a painting, incorporating countless oneself into the painting, forming countless microcosms?
Sure enough, after Lu Yan came in, he directly put a weapon rack on the square seat that was similar to a collapse, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then inserted the antlers in his hand. This was the activation of the mechanism, and after a burst of chirp, the familiar secret passage appeared in front of me again.
"Lu Yan, what are you doing? Where does this place lead? ”
Lu Yan looked up at me with a blank look, "Go underground!" ”
"Where's underground? I'm a little dizzy, isn't it time to get to the next platform underground? ”
"Still here!"
"Still leading to this place?" I felt that the speculation in my heart had become a reality, could it be that Lu Yan wanted me to go down and entrust the rest of my life to this never-ending cycle of death?
"Don't go, Lu Yan, let's go up and find the stone bones and go back!"
Lu Yan turned around and said: "There is it here, the bone field has been destroyed, only go to the bone field inside to find it!" ”
I was a little dizzy at this time, and I heard him say that he could find the stone bones, and I promised to follow in. When the cold and damp air was about to hit my face, I suddenly remembered something, "Lu Yan, can we come back after we go in?" ”
Lu Yan stopped but didn't look back, only a voice came, "Can't!" ”
If I can't come back, what's the point of me getting the bones?
"Lu Yan, I'm not going!"
"Why?" Lu Yan still didn't look back.
"I still have a wife and friends here, and Liu is still here!"
"They're over there, too, and that's the world before the Holocaust!"
The world before the Shoah! After being away for so long, I have almost forgotten that the human world outside is suffering a catastrophe, and that the cities, the countryside, and the wild may have become a barren waste, with countless gray-white ghosts roaming in the midst of it.
That pre-apocalyptic world! How beautiful it is that world is full of life and language, that world that is equally full of life after sunrise and at night, that lovely world full of desire and ugly faces!
Chang Jian, Brother Wang, Lao Cao, Qiao Dalu...... Are these people who have left a long time ago still living in this world? At this moment, my heart was filled with an extremely urgent emotion, and I longed to go back to my old life.
But what about this side? Xiao Kan still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead in the provincial capital, Liu Dongxi and Wang Dake are still waiting for us to go back in the stone cave on the mountain wall, can I just let them go and go to that world so selfishly?
Before I knew it, I had descended to the turn of the stairs, and the little everlasting light in the cellar was in front of me, and I felt the otherworldly smell in this light, and suddenly woke up and stopped.
"Lu Yan, I can't go! I can't let go of this world! ”
Lu Yan stood still for a long time without looking back.
I looked at his back, although I was uneasy but not worried, I would never follow him to the world that did not belong to me, although my world was broken, but I must not leave!
After a long time, Lu Yan said slowly: "You think about it, we won't come back if we leave!" ”
"Think ...... it"
Lu Yan turned around, and there seemed to be some smiles on his face, "Then let's go back!" "Say so, quickly walk over me and up the steps. I glanced back at the path to the new world, and then turned back and walked up the steps.
Lu Yan saw me out, flew up and kicked the weapon rack away, the seat didn't know what material it was made of, the weapon rack was unscathed after rolling, the dark passage waited for a while and then slowly closed, and the ground was tightly closed, as if it had never been opened.
Lu Yan picked up the antler-like weapon again, and strode out of the door, with a heroic aura on his back that was not commensurate with his quiet temperament. But I still saw a trace of tiredness and even resignation in it, I don't know if he can recover in that world, whether he gave up this opportunity, and dragged his injured body to stay with me in this broken world.
After coming up this hill, everything I have experienced can only be described as unbelievable, the so-called tomb beasts, geological structures, etc., etc., can be described as the world is really wonderful, and now these mysterious things in time and space, I really don't know whether to attribute it to this world.
Out of the main house, through the courtyard that has been turned into a stone field, walk out of the tall gatehouse and walk in the direction of the main road.
"Lu Yan, how do we go up?"
"Fly up!"
"Why are you so familiar with this place? Are you really not Lu Yuan? ”
Lu Yan didn't answer anymore, but just walked forward, and the heavy antlers in his hands ploughed a shallow ditch into the hard white plaster ground under his feet.
I stopped talking, and walked silently forward with the small sound of the antlers plowing the ground, silent and resolute, as if something had been cut in my ears.
