Chapter 32: The Sixth Day of Waiting
"My lover's name is Aki. ”
"When the universe of the future human beings has not been destroyed, I met her in a university, I still remember that day, it was a sunny afternoon, when I was a freshman who was younger than her, in order to inquire about some information, I entered the library and asked her some questions on duty that day, and that's it, we met. ”
Li Yuan sat in front of the small hut and quietly recounted his past. Although Lu Lie on the side didn't understand what the university and the library were, he didn't interrupt Li Yuan's words, but chose to listen quietly.
"It's also very interesting to say that it has been more than ten years since she and I learned that the Eternals appeared. But for me, the role she played in my life was more of a sister than a lover. She knew me well, even better than I did. I want to say that I thought I knew her well, but when you just asked me if she would come back, my mind went blank for that moment. Because I couldn't have predicted Aki's actions at all. She is brave, decisive, and astute, and always makes the right choice at a fork in the road, which I am far from being able to match. I can't predict if she'll ever come back. ”
"But if you swap my places with her, if the person who walks into the depths of the Yellow Springs Country now is me, and the person sitting next to you is her. You ask her if I'm coming back, and she'll be able to give you an accurate answer. ”
"I thought about what Autumn looked like in my mind, and I thought I imagined it. In the past ten years, every bit of her has been integrated into my memory and has become an indispensable part of my life. But, in the end, in my mind, Cho was left with only a blank face. I can't recall anything about her. ”
Lu Lie patted Li Yuan's shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much." That's what a woman looks like. Why, when I find this woman and finish this ticket, I have to rest for a while, and I will find my way back to my hometown when the time comes, and you will have to help me. ”
Li Yuan was not a stupid person, and he could hear Lu Lie tearing the topic away again, wanting to comfort him. He smiled slightly: "Don't worry." If we can leave alive by then......"
"Don't talk about discouragement. Lu Lie scolded, "It's not that you can leave alive, but you must be." ”
"Hmm. ”
The two men sat outside the hut and did not go back to sleep, but waited quietly for the sixth day to come.
......
Sleepless nights.
When the morning of the sixth day finally came, at last, all the waiting proved to be a pointless waste of time. Li Yuan was the first to stand up and returned to the small hut: "I have to admit that you are right in a sense, Lu Lie. There will be no one coming back here, and there is no point in us waiting here. ”
He began to pick up the strange creatures he had picked up from outside: "It's time to get out of here. We don't have much time to waste, so let's get on the road. ”
However, at this time, Lu Lie changed his mind: "I've been waiting here for five days, what if I wait one more day? If you want to say that it's a waste of time, if your autumn has been advancing on the land of Huangquan in the past five days, then now we set off, no matter how much we hurry, we have already missed the best time to catch up with her." ”
Hearing Lu Lie's words, Li Yuan was stunned, and the work of packing things in his hands slowly stopped.
He turned his head and glanced at Lu Lie with suspicious eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Lu Lie shrugged, "When Lao Tzu used to wander on land, one of his favorite things to play was gambling. And gambling is such a thing, it is really either a thought to go to heaven or a thought to hell. But Lao Tzu has a very bad habit, that is, as long as I invest a little money and lose, I will keep raising and raising until I win all my money back. And the disadvantage of this is that I often lose until I sell all my money. But even so, I never broke this bad habit. ”
He smiled and pointed outside, "So, it's still early, what if you wait here for another day?" Perhaps, because of the extra day I waited, the situation here may take a turn for the better. ”
Li Yuan smiled, it was the kind of laugh that was helpless and helpless.
"There's really nothing you can do with this guy, since you say so, so be it. ”
And at this moment, they don't know that just because they stayed here for one more day, everything in the rest of the story will be different.
......
"Hey, Lao Li, since you have to stay here for a day, why don't you talk about that lover. ”
"Why, are you particularly interested in her business? ”
"Hehe, it's hard for you to admit that you're not as good as her, and it's hard for me not to be interested. ”
Anyway, he has to stay in this small hut for one more day, Li Yuan won't go out to hunt today, just stay in the hut, pick and choose the small things he caught four days ago, and choose some important preparations to take on the road. And Lu Lie was still lying flat on the floor paper, continuing his holiday life.
Li Yuan's eyes looked out the window into the distance, as if they were caught in a memory, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something about Qiu about her." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter. ”
"The eternal of the future man is the eternal who destroyed half of the universe and wiped out almost all the future people. ”
"Well, how can he have anything to do with Qiu. ”
"She, before he became an eternal, was his daughter. ”
Li Yuan was not shocked, and told this shocking secret in the most relaxed tone.
"Oh, that's really a coincidence, hehehe......"
"Wait! Lao Li, you bastard! What were you talking about? Why do you tell Lao Tzu again?"
Lu Lie jumped up directly from the ground as if his butt was on fire. Both eyes were about to spurt blood, staring at Li Yuan angrily.
"I say," Li Yuan calmly repeated what he had just said, "before the Eternals become Eternals, that is, when the Eternals are still human. Autumn is his daughter. ”
"She is the daughter of the Eternal. ”
Lu Lie blinked, as if he wanted to chew on this sudden piece of information.
