In front of a beautiful mangrove forest, Zhong Yanhua stopped, looked up at him and asked, "But so many people have died because of the war before, but you have been hiding far away, don't you think it's unfair?"
Xu Le stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and said softly: "Everyone has the consideration of distant relatives, I just said that looking for a reason, the reason is often an excuse to convince yourself, aunt and Paul are closer and more important to me, so this excuse will be more powerful." ” Zhong Yanhua shrugged his shoulders and continued to say the questions in his heart, such as that planet full of killing, there were already Xiong Linquan's former companions, why didn't you go The morning light that woke up spread from the other side of the horizon, sprinkled on the mangrove forest behind the two, the dew on the thick red leaves sparkled like diamonds, and the red scenery around the reflection added a bit of charm, Xu Le looked at the camouflaged spaceship at the edge of the woods, suddenly his expression was slightly condensed, and after a moment of silence, he patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "You go up first." ” Zhong Yanhua's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at the mangrove forest, and roughly guessed what the situation was, but she trusted Xu Le unconditionally, and would never become a burden like those aristocratic ladies who could only scream and tremble, so she didn't say anything more, and walked over often.
Watching the disguising spaceship slowly close the heavy hatch, Xu Le let go of the fingers gripping the trigger, slowly took his hand out of his pocket, and turned to look calmly at the depths of the mangrove forest, the place in the gloom and darkness of the beautiful scenery.
It has been nearly three years since he left the Federation, and he has been traveling in the empire for a long time, and that person has never appeared, but he knows that the other party will always appear, and he will always appear in some specific time periods, and he killed Qi Dabing, and the antecedents of that person's deep roots in the empire will come to an end, and he will always come forward to express his emotion or anger.
Because of this kind of mental preparation, Xu Le's mood at this time was very calm, not nervous, of course, he had the necessary vigilance, although the relationship was good, but who knew if the other party would go crazy.
Feng Yu walked out from the depths of the woods, smiling slightly, his face full of wind and frost looked a little soft in the light of the red leaves, only the mouth full of yellow and black rotten teeth, lightly exposed from between his lips, facing the gradually brighter morning light, showing ugly details.
"Is it true that a cold-blooded animal like you can live for a thousand years" Xu Le took out the deflated cigarette case from his jacket pocket, took out a windproof lighter and lit it, and then threw the cigarette and the lighter over, and there was still a distance of about ten meters between the two at this time.
Feng Yu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, white and pale blue smoke erupted from his nostrils, and then snuggled and churned on his face very strangely, refusing to disperse for a long time, blurring his eyebrows.
Feng Yu's eyebrows were slightly raised, looking at the red words rising from the horizon, and said: "You are raised by me, obviously you are an imperial but you always think about the good of the Federation, watching your subordinates live and die, but hiding thousands of light years away, when it comes to cold-blooded things, you have already surpassed me, as for hypocrisy, you are a little similar to the old man who has died." ” Xu Le knew that the old man he said was the military god Li Pifu, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said: "Uncle, I have read a lot of books in the past few years, even if some of them can't be understood thoroughly, but I still memorized them in a stupid way, but there is a paragraph that I didn't read recently, it was a sentence I copied in my notebook when you asked me to go to the library of Hexi State University to read books when I was a child." ” Without waiting for Feng Yu to ask questions or ridicule, Xu Le continued: "The backwardness of a society is first and foremost the backwardness of the elite, and the most obvious sign of the backwardness of the elites is that they often blame the backwardness of the people. ” "You didn't say that as George Carlin, you always did, whether it's against the Federation or the Empire."
"I remember this being a famously correct nonsense uttered by a well-known federal political commentator."
Feng Yu smiled and said: "I'm just curious why we rarely see each other once, but now you have become that kind of boring middle-aged man, accustomed to making this kind of position judgment."
"Because although we rarely meet, I have been thinking about what kind of words you should say if I see you, or I have been thinking about what kind of person you are as you wandering between the universes."
"The Emperor has his goal, although that goal no longer exists.
The master has his own goals, although it seems a little literary and sour, the old man of the military god also has his own goals, although it seems too tough, even the aunt who sells children's clothes in the market has his own goals, although specific and subtle.
But what about you, what exactly is your goal?"
Xu Le was silent for a moment, slowly spread out his hands, felt the cool morning breeze, and did not hide the part of his mood that was cooled, looked at Feng Yu not far away, and said with emotion: "I thought about it, and found that your goal is just playing, you have the ability to fight against the charter, you see yourself as a god above all people, you just think these things are interesting." ” The corners of Feng Yu's lips curled slightly, looked at him and said mockingly: "Is this considered a specific manifestation of the father-killing complex in psychology, your disappointment in me is just because you need to prove in some way that you have surpassed me, you can easily defeat me, and only in this way can you complete this process." ” "No, I'm not trying to defeat you or surpass you, I'm not a Qi soldier, I've never believed in any evolutionary tone, I just want to tell you something."
Xu Le looked at him and said calmly: "Tang Zhizhong, they want me to be the emperor, I know that this matter must be related to you, you want to see who can realize your idea between me and Qi Dabing, in order to know this, you can even watch us fight in the room indifferently, I don't like this, you don't expect to play with me like playing with the people of the Federation, like playing with Qi Dabing." ” The morning light reflected on Feng Yu's face, and he was silent for a moment before smiling and said, "I know very well that he is not your opponent, it's just that I have two students in my life, and you really shouldn't kill him." ” "I repeat, I'm just a part-time worker."
Xu Le looked at the smile on his face, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "He wants to kill me, why don't I kill him, I don't bother to care about that guy's existence, what's the point for you."
Many people have told me over the years that there is no reason in the universe, so you old guys have pushed me into a hurry, and my fists are the reason. ” Feng Yu's fingers flexed slightly, flicked the cigarette into the red sky far away, and said calmly: "Since you are about to part, let's talk about the point." ” "Don't bother me in the future."
Xu Le said: "If you are tired of playing, you don't want to toss these things anymore, and you want to go back to Donglin Recuperation Center but find a girl, I am willing to accompany you to go, I do this kind of thing very easily, but if you still want to play something, please forgive me for not making toys, I don't know what I will do when the time comes." ” At this point in the conversation, Feng Yu slowly frowned for the first time, and under the reflection of the morning light, he could clearly see that there was a trace of silver mixed inside, and with the frowning action, the middle-aged face that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years finally felt a little older.
"Little one, you're threatening me" "Maybe you're doing it for my good, but the problem is that I don't know if you're doing it for my good, and it's hard for you to be trusted, probably because we're two types of people in the first place."
Xu Le threw the cigarette butt at his feet, slowly extinguished it, then raised his head, looked at Feng Yu's eyes and continued: "Three years ago in the Federation, your biggest question was how I got in touch with the Charter Computer, in fact, the reason is very simple, it is the biggest difference between us. ” "I'm used to trusting people, even if I've been hurt, this attitude hasn't changed, and I can even believe in the light spot in the dark dream, the active contact signal from the charter computer."
"And you are different, you are used to being suspicious and wary of humans, not to mention the fact that you hate the most vigilant Charter Glory Although the specific situation was different at that time, it was essentially this reason, so I established an active contact with the Charter Computer, but you lost the most important opportunity."
Xu Le looked at the thoughtful Feng Yu and said, "Not now, the old thing under the Federal Charter Bureau building has become much smarter than before, and we will no longer be able to enjoy this kind of benefit." ” He changed his words and continued: "I have been wandering among the stars for the past three years, imagining the years you spent back then, and I found that the difference between us is really big, the same wandering, but I have company, I have a little watermelon to accompany me, if I want, I can even find four or five girls to be with." ” He smiled slightly, thinking about Philip.
Feng Yu frowned slightly, although he was already an old man, he was a man after all, and he could let Xu Le speak loudly in other aspects, but in this regard, he refused to admit defeat even if he was killed, and said contemptuously: "If I want, I can find four or five thousand women to accompany me." ” "You don't dare, not unwilling."
Xu Le spread his arms and said, "I'm different, I dare, but I don't want to." ” Feng Yu gently stroked his cheeks full of stubble, glanced at him, and said, "I'll leave first when I'm done, otherwise I won't be able to catch the Vegas shuttle." ” Xu Le was silent for a moment, looked at him and said seriously: "Uncle, although you still look young and chic, and your ass is still so upright, you are actually very old. ” Long pauses.
"You're dying, stop playing, okay?"
Feng Yu was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I forgot what I told you in the mine back then, of course Lao Tzu will not die, Lao Tzu will never die." ” After saying this, the teacher and student, the boss and the wage earner, who had a strange relationship, parted ways in silence.
Xu Le stood on the slightly wet mud ground, looking at the back that disappeared into the depths of the mangroves, silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and then there was a parting wind chime in his ears, and he knew that it was the string of six-star knives hanging behind the uncle's buttocks beating rhythmically.
This parting, goodbye I don't know how many years.
