Chapter 20: The Way Home (1)

Sunset.

The tall arkman was seen coming out of the stone house and stepping onto the monitor lizard. The monitor lizard that had fought with him, been bitten and healed.

Wu Wei also rode a monitor lizard and followed behind him.

The patriarch was on his cane, and as if he had something to say, he at last stepped forward and said to the ark man, "Your father...... I'm thankful for him, he's like Prometheus to us. The patriarch's body was hunched as if he were bowing.

Ryan grabbed the reins and said, "If you can say that, I believe he will also be very relieved under the Nine Springs......"

The patriarch continued, "I need to say that although the people of the Ark have done a lot of cruel things to us, most of them have a simple heart, whether it is your father or you. ”

Ryan nodded to the patriarch, pulled the reins, and walked out of the village.

Ryan saw that both sides of the road were full of wild people, they were ragged, as if they had come out of the mud, and a pair of yellow eyes were looking at him in unison, but at this time, their eyes were no longer fear, doubt, and resentment, but mixed with reluctance, admiration, and some worry.

There was a girl who cried in the crowd. Ryan looked over, it was Miao.

Ryan stopped the monitor lizard, jumped down, walked to Miao's side, and said, "Miao, what are you crying about?" ”

Miao raised her teary eyes, "You go back...... Will it die? ”

Ryan smiled and said, "No, that's my home." ”

Miao said, "Then will you come back?" ”

Ryan said, "Probably, not anymore. ”

Miao lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt down.

Ryan thought for a moment, took out a small shell from his coat pocket, and said, "I have nothing to give you, let's make this a memorial for you, thank you for taking care of me." "I found it with Shaman on the edge of the dry sea, and I wanted to take it with me.

Miao took the shell, looked left and right, and also took out something from his clothes and handed it to Ryan. Ryan froze when he saw the grayish-white shiny thing, it was actually the bone whistle of the sand man.

Miao put her finger in front of her mouth, signaled Ryan not to make a sound, glanced at Wu Wei behind Ryan, and whispered, "My sister asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, he picked up the string from the bone whistle and made a gesture to put it on Ryan.

Ryan didn't know what to say, so he bent down so that Miao could wear the bone whistle around his neck.

Suddenly, Miao's hand reached into the cloak from below and pressed a hard object against Ryan's chest, "And this." ”

Ryan raised his hand in the cloak and grabbed the thing that Miao handed over, through the layers of packages, he could still touch the flat shape of the thing, Ryan only felt a shock, raised his eyes and looked around, but he couldn't see the figure of Sha Man anywhere.

What is lost when you wake up is lost in this way.

People gathered in front of the village and watched the two figures gradually disappear under the huge sunset. One of them was tall, cloaked, and the other was muscular, with a long sword on his back.

***

There's a long way to go, but Ryan still doesn't know the direction, and the monitor lizard is moving quickly and steadily. According to the patriarch, they should be able to arrive before dawn, and at that time, he can sneak into the ark at night. Although, he didn't know what was waiting for him.

Looking back, the village of the wild people is no longer visible.

Wu Wei, who was walking beside him, stopped and said, "Then, please." He spread out his palm, and inside was the transparent pill.

The pill glowed golden in the setting sun, and Ryan slowly picked it up.

"I didn't expect that I would have to bother Lord Wuwei to send it off in person."

"You're our guest, as you should."

Ryan was in front of Wu Wei, undressed his mask, put the pill in his mouth, swallowed it, and opened his mouth again for Wu Wei to see.

After Wu Wei checked it carefully, Ryan smiled and said, "You know, even if I don't eat this, I don't remember the location of the village." ”

"Don't play tricks!"

Ryan smiled again. If he wanted to, there could be many ways to deceive this reckless man, but, what he promised, he would do it. Although, that's something I don't want to eat anyway.

The yellow sand in front of him was still the same yellow sand, they were dyed red by the setting sun, and there were silent waves quietly surging, but Ryan felt that a corner of his mind somewhere was dizzy. It is as if a painting has been immersed in some kind of liquid, and the pattern on it gradually dissolves and disappears. For the first time, he was soberly experiencing the process of the drug working.

The mechanism of this drug is probably to act on neurons, some synapses that have just formed connections are disconnected, disintegrated, and even carried, the information they carry is also erased, those memories, those formed meanings, and that life no longer exists.

Even that period of life was incomparably precious to him.

The way Sand Man walked towards him became more and more blurred, her long hair flicking, her head raised, she leaned closer to him, cat-like eyes crossing his face......

He embraced her, took the hug she had given him, and embraced her whole, and he greeted her, expressing himself for the first time, wholeheartedly, and without reservation......

Everything goes with the wind and sand.

After living in vanity for more than 20 years, this is the only real moment, the only real moment to eternity.

And this moment is disappearing.

She left him, and walked out of the stone house without looking back, and she arranged for Miao to return his father's things to him, and gave him her treasures......

But even these are slowly becoming blurred.

Ryan resisted the urge to vomit out the contents of his stomach, so much so that his vision was blurry.

"Forgotten?" Wu Wei said behind him.

Ryan didn't want to talk to anyone at this point. And Wu Wei was still saying: "You'd better forget, forget it completely, otherwise, I will use this sword to kill you." ”

“……”

"Shaman is my woman, if it weren't for you, I would have gotten her a long time ago, and I slept all the young girls in the village, so I sent her ......"

Ryan stopped abruptly and turned around, even though he was wearing goggles, Wu Wei was shocked by his eyes. "You, what do you see, let me tell you, I and Sha Man have been engaged for a long time......"

"Wu Wei, if you dare to come at night again, if you are unfaithful to her, I will kill you."

"Heh, heh," Wu Wei laughed, "You soft-footed Ark man, you don't scare me, besides, what does this have to do with you, I can do things when I like, you ......"

Ryan suddenly jumped up and pounced on Wu Wei, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

"Why, I want to fight, right, I'm upset, right, what does that kiss feel like, don't you remember?"

Ryan punched Wu Wei in the face.

Blood splattered from Wu Wei's nose, but Wu Wei smiled and said, "Come on, fight!" Ark people, what do you think you are, you can't even choose your own woman, you have to whoever you want to do, you're a pig for breeding! ”

Ryan's fists smashed down one after another, and Wu Wei covered his face with his elbows in leather armor, but he kept laughing, laughing until he choked on his own blood, "What, I said it right, right, ahem, ahem, right?" ”

Ryan raised his fist and breathed heavily, "Don't think I can't kill you!" ”

"You kill, you kill, this is not a piece of cake for you Ark people, just pull out a weed, isn't it, you kill!"

Wu Wei pushed away Ryan's fist and sat up, "It's not that you're stupid, what kind of hero are you, you caused Sha Man to go to the ark again in mechanical boots, and the boots are running out of fuel, you know, she almost can't come back, you know?" ”

"What did you say?"

"Oh, the old man was furious, confiscated her mechanical boots, and locked her up until today! She actually gave you the bone whistle, I think she is completely crazy, and she doesn't want to think about it, without mechanical boots, without bone whistle, what is left of her, what else can she do but marry me? - Oh, don't look at me with that kind of look, I watched her grow up, I don't know what she wants to do, how can she let Miao play that little trick to escape my eyes! ”

Wu Wei pounced on Ryan and knocked Ryan down, "Yes, even a rough man like me can see that she loves you, this stupid woman she is in love with you!" She is really incorrigible, extremely stupid, a woman's family is so difficult to achieve! And you, what are you, what are you, what the are you? ”

Ryan's goggles shattered, slicing his face, and he closed his eyes in the light of the setting sun, but at the same time he felt that there was something else flowing out of the warm blood.

Ryan struggled to get up and pressed Wu Wei down again, "What about you, have you ever really loved her, you just want to get her person, and, the position of the patriarch, right?" ”

Ryan stared at Wu Wei's eyes, "The monitor lizard team and armed forces in the clan are under your command, the patriarch is old, you marry Shaman again, and then whatever you want is justified!" ”

Wu Wei grinned, revealing his blood-stained teeth, "Heh, hehe......"

Ryan's fists trembled, "If I hadn't meant to interfere in your business, I should have killed you!" ”

Wu Wei suddenly reached back and pulled out the long sword on his back.

The piercing sound of metal grinding across the sky, Ryan was shaken by the bright reflection, and he took the hand in front of him, he couldn't believe that what this primitive man was holding in his hand was actually a metal sword.

Before Ryan could react, the sword had already swung over, and Ryan instinctively jumped backwards to dodge.

Ryan looked down, only to see that the uniform had been cut a small opening, and then looked up at Wu Wei, the weapon in the hand of this savage was so sharp.

At the same time, Ryan suddenly felt suffocated, he lowered his head again, only to realize that Wu Wei was not the target just now, but the oxygen tube on his rubber mask!

Ryan clutched his throat and fell back in pain, and Wu Wei stepped forward, forcefully tore the severed pipe into several pieces, and threw it out with his hand.

Wu Wei stood up, took two steps back, and looked at Ryan, "What, Mr. Arkman, are you out of breath?" ”
