With a hand on Alan's shoulder, Adele knelt down and whispered, "Your mother will be proud of you."
Allen put his backhand on Adele's hand and nodded, "Thank you."
He had recovered his calm and stood up again, the tin room full of afternoon sun. The interior and exterior of the house were planted with sunflowers, and you could see a golden patch. Even the simple tin house is embellished with a dreamlike beauty at this moment.
"This oasis and these flowers and trees cannot be formed naturally." After returning to calm, Allen looked at this place again.
Adele also agreed: "The oasis in the desert is usually because the nearby underground river passes by, it is possible to grow vegetation. But it will take a long time to complete all of this, but I am sure that a year ago, here is still a piece of Barren, it is impossible to create such an oasis."
"If it doesn't happen naturally, it is man-made?" Allen was taken aback. Who else could create an oasis. Obviously, these flowers and trees can not grow into what they are now by just planting something.
But create out of thin air!
Thinking of the word creation, Allen's heart moved slightly. At this time, there was a dog barking in the distance, and the two turned their heads to look around. Someone was coming here on the other side. He looked like a farmer, with a shovel on his shoulders, and he couldn't see his face in a hat, except that he was wearing a shirt and trousers. The trousers were rolled up, without shoes, a yellow dog ran around him, barking twice from time to time.
Adele was fine, she just felt strange. When he looked at Allen, he couldn't help but stunned. The expression on Allen's face changed rapidly, from initial shock, to anger, and finally calm to indifferent. He whispered: "Adele, can you wait for me in the car? I want to talk to this person."
The girl gave an "um", without asking why, she turned and left.
When she disappeared behind the trees, the farmer also came to the tin house, the sun was shining, and he raised his head slightly under the brim of the hat. The shadowed eyes glanced at Alan, and then he threw a bone to the yellow dog. . He went into the tin room and took out a stele made of tree trunks. Allen watched him nail the wooden stele into the ground next to the house, between the sunflowers.
Alan walked over, and a line of words was engraved on the wooden tablet: May you be well in heaven, as pure as running water.
The knocking sound rang in his ears, and the man continued his work with his back to him. Allen whispered: "People are gone, does it make sense to do this?"
The man with his back to him replied, "It depends on your view of meaning. For me, if I remember her, then all of this makes sense. If I have forgotten, then no matter how much I do It makes no sense at all."
"Then do you remember her?"
The man finally finished his work. He stood up, pulled the brim of his hat and whispered, "Unforgettable."
Allen was shocked.
The man walked to the tin hut and took out a cigarette gun and a pack of tobacco leaves inside. He sat down by the house, stepped on the ground with his feet, put the tobacco leaves in the pipe, and said, "Would you like to listen to me tell a story?"
"You said." Allen sat on the other side, leaning against the outer wall of the house, raised his head, and blocked the bright but not dazzling sunlight with his hands.
The man’s voice seemed to come from far away:
Many years ago, there was a man. He was a bastard. He had been to many places and had different women. Even those women had his flesh and blood. He was still ruthlessly abandoned. Because for him, meeting women and giving birth to children is just a means to continue offspring, and has nothing to do with love."
"But in a brilliant afternoon like today, he saw a girl. When the girl looked back at him, he saw himself in the girl's eyes. At that moment, something lightly stroked the heart, so he knew , He fell in love with that girl."
"You may find it unbelievable, but the truth is that. Love is illogical and has nothing to do with reason. Some people get along for a lifetime, but in the end they never really love each other. They are husband and wife, but they are strictly Said they are just partners living together; some people have never seen each other, but because of a casual look at each other, they will never forget that glimpse of style."
"I just said that the man is a jerk. Although he likes girls, his methods are rude and unreasonable. He took the girl away from a big family and turned her into an ordinary girl from a princess. In the beginning, the girl hated him as much as she hated him, so men pleased her in every way. Knowing that she likes flowers and plants, he started planting flowers and plants; knowing that girls like small animals, he caught squirrel puppies to tease her."
"Gradually, the girl began to have a good impression of him. Then the two of them went together naturally, and on a clear night, the girl gave himself to him. While the girl was crying, he vowed to treat her forever. The girl believed And regard him as a lifelong partner."
"However, at the end of the story, it is not as good as the ending of other romance novels, even if the man wants to be with the girl for a lifetime. But he has to leave the girl, even if the girl already has his flesh and blood. But he must leave. , So he left without giving the girl any explanation. He would rather the girl hate him than there is hope. He prepared an atonement. When he died, he would go to heaven to apologize to the girl and pray for him. Forgiveness." The man paused when he said: "If he has a chance to go to heaven"
Allen was silent, and the man didn't speak any more, only the tobacco leaves in the pipe making light noises from time to time. After a while, the man spit out a smoke ring and said, "The story is over, do you want to do it?"
"If I do it~EbookFREE.me~ I'm afraid she won't forgive me. Although she did say that she wants to put the dagger into the chest of that man. But now I find that the man is not that bastard, maybe, He needs an opportunity to explain."
Allen stood up, ready to leave.
"Opportunities like this will never happen again," the man reminded.
"I know, but Milo also said that if I do this, it will only end the twilight of this era, not the destiny of our race. You should be clear, right?"
"I know." The man took a cigarette and then vomited it out: "It's just that I can't wait to see her in that world."
"Anyway, you have been waiting for so long, so please bear with me."
Alan turned his back to the man and waved: "I'm leaving"
"father."
The man shook his whole body, and then a drop of liquid rolled from the corner of his eye. He lowered his head and pulled the brim of his hat: "Take care of yourself, son."
