The old man said, "Have you ever wondered what you will face when you go back?" ”

Ryan's hand grips the sheet.

"As far as I know, the Ark's removal mechanism is quite tight. They will not miss any of the opportunities that can be recycled. ”

“…… It's none of your business. ”

The old man smiled, "I believe that with your mind, you will see more clearly than I do, and it is only a matter of time before the wild man wins." If we get out of the wilderness, if the earth's environment continues to improve, if we have more and more numbers...... What will happen? What if we had the technology, and even the weapons? What would happen if there was an Arkman who dared to collude with us? ”

Ryan sat with his head down, and the old man stood beside him, and the bubbles in the sink kept bubbling upwards and gurgling.

Ryan said in a low voice: "I came out to solve the mystery in my heart, I came to you, and I did not unite with you to deal with the people of the Ark. ”

"So...... Are you rejecting the olive branch I handed you? ”

"Yes."

"Have you ever thought that this may be your only chance to live?"

"Maybe."

"Even if it's a sand man...... Want you to do that? ”

Ryan looked at the patriarch, "She won't. ”

"How do you know she won't?"

Ryan paused, "Even if she did it at your behest, it wasn't her intention. ”

The patriarch laughed a few times, "Okay, I see. ”

The patriarch walked outside the house, stopped again, and turned around, "I'm really curious, I know that you are dead, and you still want to go back, what is it for?" ”

"The Ark has my companions, my family."

The old man snorted, "You things raised collectively, where did you come from?" ”

Ryan said, "We have it, you don't understand. ”

The old man's eyes showed a hint of scrutiny, and he suddenly smiled again, "Now, I can understand how much Sha Man did so many stupid things. ”

Ryan looked up.

"Your face, needless to say, is very charming, with the strength of a man and the sensibility of a woman, but there is something else in you, which is a mixture of insight into everything, but with childlike innocence."

The old man looked at Ryan and continued: "After the monitor lizard bites its prey, it will inject toxins into the prey, and when the prey is poisonous, it will chase after it and eat it. For wild people, being bitten by a monitor lizard is almost a dead end, let alone you, a guy with no immunity. ”

Ryan sat quietly, waiting for his next step.

"For you, we can sit idly by, in fact, this is beyond our ability, but that stupid girl of Shaman, went to the ark again and saved you again, I don't know how she did it, because we have tried all the ark medicines in our hands, and they are ineffective against the toxins of the monitor lizard."

The old man paused, and his voice became heavier, "You can imagine how much risk she had, I don't want such a thing to happen again." ”

From the old man's cloudy gaze, Ryan still read a father's pity and rejection.

Ryan bowed his head. He seemed to hear the old man sigh, and then the coarse cloth robe moved to the ground.

Ryan said, "But are you really willing to marry Shaman to that kind of person?" ”

The robe stopped, "Oh? ”

Ryan said, "Patriarch, dare to ask if instigating a giant to bite someone is the behavior of a monitor lizard knight?" ”

The old man said: "Wu Wei's approach, I have already punished him for thinking about it. ”

Ryan said, "Facing the wall? That's all? If the offender is small, then he disregards the lives of his own people? ”

The old man sighed and said: "There are some traits called unscrupulous means to achieve the end, and some traits are called fairness and justice, kindness and fraternity, but do you know that the latter is the later stage of human society development to highlight its importance, before that, we first need to survive." ”

Ryan laughed, "Okay, I see." ”

***

Villagers gathered around the stone huts. They don't understand why the people of the Ark, who just woke up yesterday, have to leave today.

They looked curiously through the small window of the stone hut, and saw that the arkman had put on his strange clothes, and was wearing a cloak, and was sitting quietly. He was not wearing a face mask or goggles, and people were able to see his face.

Someone called him: "Hey! Monitor Lizard Knight! After that time, people gave him that title. He looked out the window, the sun shining on his face, and he closed his eyes quickly.

"Be careful, his eyes can't be caught in the sun!" Someone shoved the person who was shouting.

"Monitor lizard knight, why are you leaving?" Someone asked.

Ryan looked over to the man and nodded.

"Oh my God, he's as pale as white marble, and his eyes are like amber." There are women who say. "Let me see, let me see!" Someone squeezed in from behind.

The crowd pushed and shoved, and saw the patriarch and others coming over, and the people immediately quieted down and stepped aside.

The patriarch said to the people, "Tribesmen, today, the monitor lizard knight will leave us and embark on his return journey. ”

Everyone immediately whispered, and the patriarch motioned for everyone to be quiet. "There will be a time when fate ends. At sunset, he will depart, and if you wish, you can see him off at that time, but until then, please let the monitor lizard knight rest quietly. ”

The crowd dispersed, and the patriarch, Sha Man, and Wu Wei entered the stone house.

Ryan looked at Shaman, she seemed to have lost some weight, her eyes had returned to their usual indifference, she was wearing a neat leather armor, the same as Wu Wei's.

The patriarch said, "We have already arranged your return journey, and we will send someone to send you to the ark and help you enter the outer walls of the ark, but after that, we can't help you." ”

Ryan said, "Okay. ”

The patriarch took out a white transparent capsule and placed it on the table, "Forgive us for the taste, after we leave, you need to take this pill and clear the information about the location of our village, after all, this is for the safety of the whole clan." ”

Ryan nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The patriarch added, "We don't have the power to erase all your memories of this place, but for the sake of the time we saved you, you won't do anything against us." ”

"This one is relieved."

"Okay." The patriarch nodded, "Then, from now on, I hope you will forget all about this place and us, and this will be the end of the relationship between you and the wild people." ”

Ryan didn't speak.

The patriarch glanced at the sun, which was about to set in the west, and said, "Do you have anything else you want to say?" ”

Ryan rolled his eyes and looked at the sandman, "Did you save me again?" ”

Shaman stood behind the patriarch and did not speak.

Ryan said, "How did you do that? Not only the toxins of monitor lizards, but also my chronic infection that penetrated deep into my lungs, as well as other comorbidities, were also cured, and this requires a customized drug regimen, how did you do it? ”

Wu Wei said: "Okay, less verbose, if you don't have anything else, go on the road!" ”

Ryan looked at the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, I have one last request, I wonder if I can grant it?" ”

The patriarch said, "You say." ”

Ryan looked at the sandman, "I think, ask for a kiss." ”

Wu Wei shouted: "What are you farting, get out of here!" ”

Ryan stared at Wu Wei and said word by word: "It's not your turn to speak here, if it's in the Ark, you, should be cleared." ”

The old man lowered his eyes and looked back at the sand man.

Shaman was expressionless, looked at Ryan and said, "Do you know that the bacteria I carry can be fatal to you." ”

Ryan said, "So what, I just ask, you, willing?" ”

Sha Man glanced at the pills on the table and said, "It's all going to be cleared anyway." Then, walk over to Ryan.

The patriarch's cane struck the ground, "Stop!" ”

Shaman walked over one by one. She was dressed in tight-fitting leather armor, with a slender waist and slender legs, and she looked heroic, just like he had in his mind of her - she was a female warrior.

Ryan put on the hood of his cloak, put his arms around the waist of the person in front of him, and kissed him deeply.

The wide hood covered them, and everything was plunged into darkness.

I know I may not be qualified to kiss you, but if I have one more chance;

I know I can't even kiss you, but it doesn't matter if you do;

Memories can be erased, but regrets cannot, handwriting can be erased, but paper will always remember, brushstrokes bloom when they are obsolete;

There is no light, no time, no heaven and earth, no everything,

There is no language,

But at this time, there is no need for language,

We are the language we speak.

The old man's voice trembled with the tapping of his cane: "Between you, there is a gap between thousands of years of evolution, you, you are basically two species!" ”
