"Really? Do you think so too? After hearing Han Le tell her his true thoughts about hibernation, Qiao Yiyu was a little surprised, "But most people can't see this, yes, hibernation looks negative, but in my opinion, it has more positive sides - it means that this society has finally developed to such an extent that an ordinary person at the bottom can try to get out of all the environments he is familiar with and go on an adventure to the future, although such an adventure will be seen as naïve and unrealistic by later generations, and it will also be regarded as morally irresponsible, Even this kind of group* behavior can brew disaster, but I think it's worth it. Han Le, what did you think when you hibernated? ”

Han Le recalled: "To be honest, I don't have any ideas...... Probably because this concept has been exposed enough in science fiction novels and movies, and I don't think it's a big deal...... I was naïve. ”

Qiao Yiyu shook his head: "No, you're right...... In fact, the vast majority of hibernators who first come into contact with hibernation have the same idea as you do, and they don't think it's a big deal. ”

Han Le was surprised, but he didn't speak, he always thought that his thoughts belonged to a more extreme category, an absolute minority.

"You live in a society with excessive information," Qiao Yiyu said after putting down the scissors in his hand, "Do you remember the depression you had before your last hibernation?" ”

Han Le nodded.

"In my time, doctors called it information overexposure...... You've probably heard of the example of a lab mouse, a guinea pig, a pleasure-making switch......"

This example was often used by Xie Yongqing before, and of course Han Le remembered it.

Qiao Yiyu hesitated slightly, as if he was still judging whether he should say the following words, but he still said: "In a society oversaturated with information, everyone is overexposed to concepts...... Don't say hibernation, like anything else, to name a few, nuclear explosions, spaceships, oh, and the most representative time travel, what is your first reaction when you hear these noun concepts? ”

"It's just ......," Han Le felt unresponsive, "It's ...... Very common noun. In fact, he was almost a little disgusted by the last noun crossing.

"Yes, but when you think about it, these are actually exciting, or rather, shocking," Qiao Yiyu said, "but you have been overexposed to these concepts in your life...... In movies and television, the director repeats these concepts over and over again, how exciting it is for you to analyze it, people are not guinea pigs, they will not always satisfy the same stimulus, even if it is a drug, if you take it every day, the body will quickly become numb to this pleasure. In the first few years when I came, the novels of the theme of crossing have begun to be numb, but film and television are still on the rise, because the stimulation of the latter is more figurative, but after more than ten years, anyone who says that time travel must be regarded as old-fashioned by young people. When the human brain is in nature, the amount of information it is exposed to every day is at most a little, but the information society is crazy to pour it with thousands of times more information stimulation than before, and the brain is maintained in a state of excitement for a long time, and after an extreme, it is easy to become numb. ”

Qiao Yiyu's words are not difficult to understand, Han Le has thought about similar problems before, but he prefers to see this situation as progress rather than regression: "The more advanced the society, the more information people have to deal with, this is inevitable." ”

"We didn't ......see it that way in that era," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "Learning and processing information are two different things, even in our era, if a person wants to learn from ordinary people to the top experts in a certain field, the learning process is not longer than you are now, and even because of the optimization of education, many are even shorter." You're just...... To use an analogy, just as the overall obesity rate of the population has risen in the wake of modernization, overexposure to information is just another form of mental obesity. ”

"And you were ...... at that time How do you deal with this problem, and is there still a restriction on the Internet? ”

"Then it's better to have an electric shock," Qiao Yiyu smiled, and then pointed to his head, "We'll deal with it directly here, and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, do you understand?" ”

Han Le suddenly thought of the "pleasure" that Qiao Yiyu had massaged his head for the last time, but it was just an association, and he was not able to find the specific connection between the two quickly.

"Let's not talk about it," Qiao Yiyu smiled again, this time the smile was brighter and more real, "Maybe you are not easy to accept now." ”

Han Le tried to imagine it, and probably guessed: "You guys...... Surgery on the brain? ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't want to continue the topic: "By the way, this is genetically modified rice, don't you have any psychological shadows?" ”

Han Le shook his head: "I've always been upright. ”

Qiao Yiyu sighed, and said after a while: "Me too." ”

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and in the process, Qiao Yiyu found a vacuum cleaner to clean up her hair, then put on a coat and said to Han Le: "Go outside for a walk, it's always boring at home, it's night, it should be safer." ”

Although there are not many people living in this community, the street lights outside are still brightly lit, in addition to the height is limited, and the rock formation is a little unpleasant when you look up, in fact, the hardware facilities here are actually very good, there are flowers and plants planted on the roadside, and there is water flowing in the ditch, Han Le almost forgot the last time he listened to the sound of water so carefully.

Unconsciously, Qiao Yiyu appeared behind him: "Is there a fish in here?" ”

"I didn't see it." Actually, it's definitely not.

Qiao Yiyu raised his head and looked at the pitch-black overhead: "It's better to be on the ground...... At least you can see the stars. ”

Speaking of the ground, this couldn't make Han Le think of their situation, and asked worriedly, "Will someone come to us?" ”

"Now we are still a conflict zone, they will not come for the time being, but even if they come, they may not be able to find us, they can't always search one by one, underground, there are too many such small residential areas, all of which are caused by the overdevelopment of real estate in the past ten years."

This reminded Han Le of his house in Shenhai...... Since he is not in Shenhai now, the house is probably long gone.

"It's a pity that there is no ......guitar here," Han Le said, "Otherwise, now that I am so idle, it would be good to take the time to learn guitar from you." ”

"Do you want to learn?"

Han Le nodded: "I watched a movie before, Groundhog Day, in which the protagonist lives the same day every day, and even commits suicide...... Finally, I went to learn piano. Han Le felt that he was quite similar to him.

"Let's see your luck," Qiao Yiyu said, "Maybe you can find one......" Before he finished speaking, Qiao Yiyu suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed at a park body sculpture behind Han Le: "Who?" Come out? ”

Han Le was taken aback, he didn't even notice that someone appeared behind him, and when he took out his gun in a hurry, he also pointed in that direction, and looked nervously at Qiao Yiyu's face, an old man walked out of the darkness, raised his hands, and said in his mouth: "I just saw someone, come and take a look...... Are you a police officer or? As he spoke, he lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked in the direction of Qiao Yiyu.

Seeing that the target was not a threat, Qiao Yiyu put away his pistol and turned to leave, but the old man followed them and said, "You just moved from outside, right?" ”

Han Le didn't know whether he should answer his identity as a wanted criminal now, and he didn't even dare to reply, Qiao Yiyu was also a little unsure of how to deal with it, so he just said something in his mouth, and said, "What are you doing with us?" ”

"I walk this road every day," said the old man, as he followed more closely, "I just came out after eating...... Are you two going on vacation? ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't speak, if the other party was 50 years younger, she could be said to have a lot of experience in dealing with it, but at this age, she really didn't know what to do.

Seeing that the two of them subconsciously quickened their pace, the old man was a little anxious: "Don't go so fast, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to someone, oh, did you see it on the way here, the supermarket at the entrance of the village is opened by me." ”

At the beginning, the three of them came in by copying the path, of course they didn't pay attention, but this information made Qiao Yiyu hearted: "Do you have food for sale in the supermarket?" ”

"What is this called? I can get you whatever you want," said the old man, "why don't you come with me?" ”

Both hesitated, worried in case they were recognized. But Qiao Yiyu knows that the problem of food always has to be solved, the rice is enough for the time being, but there are almost no dishes, not to mention Han Le on such a day, I am afraid that she will be a little unacceptable for herself for a few days.

"I'll give you a 10% discount!" When the old man saw that there was a play, he immediately said that when he saw the two of them turn around, but they still looked a little hesitant, and slapped his thigh, "20% off is fine." ”

"But we don't have the money,......" Qiao Yiyu looked embarrassed, "Do you collect scrap?" ”

"Close!" Although there is no such business in the store, the old man still agreed without hesitation, "You don't have to rush back to get it, you can come to my store first, take what you want first, and I will deliver it to you." ”

Is there such a good thing? On the way to the old man's shop, Han Le couldn't believe it, but looking at the excited old man, he couldn't imagine if this would be those traps in the movie.

The old man's shop is not far from where they just now, two or three hundred meters away, along the road to the end, a turn is, just at the intersection of two intersections, and in the direction of the road, there is also an exaggerated neon sign with a huge store name, the content of the signboard simply makes Han Le have the urge to spray rice: "Old Dick Silk Supermarket." ”

To be honest, Han Le has always been very disgusted with the word Dick Silk before, because it is simply vulgar, but at this time and place, in the face of such an old man, to be honest, Han Le feels that these two words have a sense of intimacy - he has also been on the Internet in this era, and knows that this word is no longer popular now, and the old man will use this supermarket name, which can only show that they are from the same era, looking at the age of this old man, it is not surprising.

Qiao Yiyu also noticed this joke, and when he entered the store, he also looked back and smiled, the old man entered the door in front, the supermarket area was very large, and the lights inside were also on, and he could clearly see the shelves full of dazzling goods outside, but Han Le didn't see anyone else inside, and he didn't see the old man unlocking the lock just now.

"I've been running this shop for three years," there were already a lot of lights in the room, but the old man still took the trouble to open more one by one, "You are the 71st to come in...... I haven't seen anyone from here in almost three months, by the way, how long are you going to stay here? ”

Qiao Yiyu replied vaguely: "It's not decided yet, I'll live for a while." ”

"That's good," said the old man, shaking his head, "although it's not as lively as the big city, it's all there, and the internet is even faster, and everyone is hibernating...... By the way, is it true that there is a war on it because of hibernation? ”

"Don't you go online?" Qiao Yiyu asked rhetorically, and at the same time glanced at the surveillance computer screen in the store, which was closed.

"When I heard that there was going to be a war, I cut the cable," said the old man, "and I heard that they would follow people's movements on the Internet and find your house and let you go to the army." ”

"Where did you hear the gossip?" Qiao Yiyu couldn't laugh or cry, this kind of anti-* government intimidation propaganda Qiao Yiyu had been in contact with it a long time ago, thinking that no one would believe it, but he didn't expect this to be the one in front of him.

"It's not good anyway," the old man took them up to the second floor, came to the food area, and opened a few oversized vertical refrigerators, bright red meat, colorful vegetables, milk, canned fruits, just because there is everything, "You can pick what you want, don't think about money, this is not a valuable thing, I don't lack these coffin books." ”

Han Le had had dinner, but when he saw this, he felt a little hungry, and he hesitated whether to take it, but Qiao Yiyu had already unceremoniously pushed over a small cart and started to carry it.

Taking advantage of the old man going to the treasury to get things for them, Qiao Yiyu said: "Don't have a psychological burden, people in this era are very rich...... The rest is fine, what to eat...... Most people go to hibernation, and now there is simply an oversupply of food. ”

"I'll carry you directly to the car!" The old man's voice sounded downstairs, Qiao Yiyu said yes loudly, and turned his attention to another shelf.

When Qiao Yiyu and the others pushed the car downstairs, the old man was just about to come in, and hurriedly helped to get things out of the car, such enthusiasm made Han Le a little embarrassed: "No, we can do it ourselves...... Take a break. ”

"It's a rare activity to rest all day." The old man didn't mean to rest at all, and helped them put their things in the back of the pickup truck at the door.

"By the way, does this have a battery?" Qiao Yiyu said again, "Standard battery." ”

"Yes, everything," said the old man, "how big do you want, 500 degrees, 300 degrees, and 200 degrees...... Is it for home use or in the car? ”

"At home."

"Then take a 500 one, save the old man for it," the old man said a lot, and he chattered when he had the opportunity, "You guys have broken wires there, right?" My electrician will too, so I'll help you see it another day......"

"That's right," when the old man was about to drive, Qiao Yiyu remembered something to buy again, "You ...... Are there guitars for sale? ”

"Guitar?" The old man didn't react when he heard it, "Is it the kind that is played?" ”

"Is there still a guitar that you don't play......" Han Le muttered in his heart.

"That's not ...... But if you want it, I can order it online, and it will only be a week at most, and even if you want a piano, I will ship it to you. ”

"That'...... Let's take a look first. The three of them got out of the car again, and after coming to the supermarket, the old man's home, went online to pick up guitars.

Half an hour later, the old man drove them to the door of the corridor, and while helping to unload the goods, he said: "If there is anything to help in the future, although there is basically no other living person in this village except me." The two had to thank each other again, and they had to say that they must be sure.

"In this era, being a wanted criminal is so happy, and there is still a war outside......" After the old man sent him away, Han Le looked at the large pile of things waiting to be moved at the door, and couldn't help but sigh, "On such a good day, how can anyone want to hibernate?" ”

"Why don't we wake up Su Pei, there is no shortage of food anyway."

But Qiao Yiyu still didn't agree: "Not for the time being." ”

After moving all the things, Han Le was completely tired, and fell on the sofa panting: "There are so many things, enough for us to eat for half a month." "In this era, the volume of refrigerators is very large, and this family even inlays the refrigerator in the wall, and it looks like a small warehouse when opened.

"The total population of society is growing rapidly, and the streets are empty; There are homeless people living in the skyscraper, and the rich man living in the coffin lid......" Qiao Yiyu recalled the joke on the Internet, and also shook his head lightly and laughed, "In this era, such a good day is really rare." ”

"By the way, how much are these things worth if they are converted into money?" Han Le always retains the idea of the early 21st century, and always feels that it is not good to owe others favors, and his brothers have to settle accounts, and they can also pay it back if they have the opportunity in the future.

"It's really hard to say...... The concept of money in this era is different from what it used to be. ”

"Just say it, how much it's worth." Han Le asked.

"A few thousand yuan...... Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "But in fact, if you have money, others may not be willing to sell it to you, if they know that you are hibernating...... Nowadays, many people have created their own credit money system online, which is very similar to the concept of Bitcoin at that time, which was specifically designed to exclude hibernators economically...... The concept of money is very thin in this era, most people are not short of money, and they do not need money, and the government guarantees basic daily necessities, which is very similar to the planned economy. ”

"But he didn't even want to see our papers."

"Because he's old," Qiao Yiyu shook her head, just now she was in the store, and when she saw the monitoring system that was deliberately closed, she already understood, there is no concept of power saving in this era, and the other party obviously understood the identities of the two for a long time, but he had no intention of saying it explicitly. In this era, many old people are like what they just saw, watching their children scramble to lie in hibernation boxes, but they are still trying to stick to the old way of life, "We usually go and talk to him a few more times, and this is enough for him." ”
