The vegetation is lush, the sound of the water is crisp, and the clean water flows downstream along the river.

Holding the cold water in both hands, Miss Yu felt the humid moisture and asked curiously, "How did you find out here?" ”

Zhou Jinru looked at the waterfall, in fact, it was very simple to find it, from the river near Pingpan upstream, you can basically find the source.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "Do you like it here?" ”

"It's nice here, it's just too quiet."

"That's right."

Miss Yu patted Zhou Jinru's arm and said with a smile: "What are you thinking, let's go back quickly, didn't you say that you still have to go to the clinic today?" ”

"Well, it might be a little later to go back in the evening."

"Alright, I got it."

The two of them returned to Oia 4, and then Zhou Jinru went out with the medical kit on his back, left Pingpan directly, and drove to a wilderness settlement a few kilometers away from Pingpan.

It is located at a transit point on a major transportation route, where many messengers stop to get supplies and exchange information.

It was not the first time Zhou Jinru had been here, and no one knew his identity due to the large number of messengers coming and going.

Pushing open the wooden door of the only bar in the wilderness settlement, where many customers had gathered at night, he struggled through the crowd to the bar, saw an empty brandy in the cupboard behind the bartender, and stretched out his right hand in a four-hand gesture.

"I want three bucks of brandy."

"Sorry sir, not at this price, and brandy won't be so cheap, if you're really interested, go to the guest room on the second floor, go up the stairs and turn right into the third room."

Zhou Jinru tossed three coins, quickly climbed the wooden stairs, came to the door of the designated room, knocked on the door twice, cleared his throat, and asked, "Is there any brandy?" ”

Squeak.

The wooden door opened a crack, and he quickly slipped into it and closed it with his backhand.

In the dim light, a lady was sitting at her desk, and she didn't even look up to see who had come in.

"This is the first time you have written to me in twenty years."

The silver-haired Lady Filin looked at the man calmly, as if she were narrating a trivial matter.

Zhou Jinru was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "It's not been twenty years since we last separated......

"Hmph, you are really still the same as before, you haven't grown old, a monster like you, haven't you been suspected?"

"I've always been wearing a mask and a helmet, very few people can see my face, and I don't stay in the same place for more than seven years, this land is huge, the means of transportation and communication are relatively backward, and after I leave, the people I know will basically never see each other again in this life."

Zhou Jinru was a little emotional, he remembered a TV series he watched a long, long time ago, because the time was too long, he couldn't remember the details, and he could only vaguely remember that the male protagonist in it was the same.

"Looks like you know what you are."

Ms. Filin stood up, walked up to the man, reached out and took off his helmet, followed by the mask, and before her was a face intact, with black hair, black eyes, a slightly stiff expression, and a neatly groomed beard on her chin.

"It's a good recovery, Zhou, it's really you."

"Kelsey, do you need to be so careful?"

She turned around and sat back down, crossed her legs, supported her chin with one hand, and said flatly: "Let's talk about the specific situation, what trouble are you in and need to contact me, to be honest, I was surprised, after all, I haven't heard from you for twenty years, and I thought you were dead, or went somewhere else." ”

Zhou Jinru was speechless when he said this, he didn't expect Kelsey to mock him so much.

"I ......"

After roughly telling his own experience, Zhou Jinru crossed his hands and waited for Kelsey, a professional, to give his opinion.

"You arrange, I want to meet with the person concerned, after all, there may be deviations in the expression of words."

Kelsey's tone was not relaxed, and Zhou Jinru faintly felt something.

He acquiesced to the other party's opinion, but at this moment, there was a cry from next door that only happens when he studied deeply, and it was normal for such a thing to happen in a small bar with very poor sound insulation.

The corners of Zhou Jinru's mouth twitched a few times: "Okay, you go back with me, it's really inconvenient here." ”

"Looks like you're ready."

Some things are unavoidable, and all we can do is accept them and do our best when they happen.

On this day, Oia IV welcomed an uninvited guest.

……

"Sir, this is ......"

Miss Yu looked at Ms. Filin suspiciously.

Zhou Jinru stubbornly explained: "This is a doctor I know, Kelsey, who can also be said to be my colleague, and her level is far better than mine. ”

"Okay, if you want to make small talk, you can talk about it later, please go out and leave some space for me and this young lady."

Kelsey kicked Zhou Jinru out and closed the door mercilessly.

Two hours later, Zhou Jinru waited for Ms. Feilin, she looked tired, and when she saw him, she didn't say anything.

"Do you want to rest first?"

"Hmm."

Zhou Jinru poured Kelsey a glass of water, and then led her to a guest room.

As soon as she entered, she said, "You like her very much?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's liking, maybe it's something else, how is she?"

"She's in good physical condition, and she's in a stable life that makes the whole process less uncomfortable, and I think she should know what to do."

"What do you mean?"

Kelsey drank water and tried his best to explain: "This is her racial characteristic, I think you should know something, you are too calm, her life is shorter than the average person, but the overall lifespan is close to infinite under normal circumstances, maybe this is the price of eternal life, you spend more time with her, her time is not much, this process can only be delayed at most, cannot be suspended, at least I can't do it." ”

"I know, I've always known."

Zhou Jinru sat opposite Kelsey, with no expression on his face.

Kelsey's words are easy to understand, Miss Rain is dying out, and Rain, as a whole, will continue forever.

"During this time, I will stay in Pingpan, and you can contact me if you have anything."

"You ......"

"I've taken over commissions from her kind, and I know how to do some things better than you as a man."

Ms. Filin lifted the corner of her hair and said indifferently: "Her racial identity is very fragile, fortunately you have not had a relationship with her, otherwise she would not have survived today, and reproduction is equivalent to the death of the whole for her."

She will only love one person, and love represents everything in life, which is cruel, I hope you can understand. ”

"Thank you."

For the first time, Zhou Jinru felt that he couldn't bear such love.
