I don’t quite understand this story. Why did he only follow those scavengers and not play with them? He had no shelter from the wind or rain, so why didn’t he change his place? Obviously Hui Chun could do more, so why didn’t he save him?

His mother? Why do these two stories seem to be one.

I turned my head and looked at the human, full of curiosity, and said, "I haven't asked you about your parents yet. Where are they?"

Hearing this, he took a deep breath, then smiled, "They... have their own endings just like in the story."

When I asked this human, I already had an unconvincing idea in my mind, and now this idea has become a fact.

"Why…"

I didn't know what to say. When I asked these words, I was looking at him, but more importantly, I was asking about my mother.

After hesitating for a moment, he got an unexpected answer.

"After my father disappeared, I was very scared. When I saw Huichun, I knelt down and tried to get some protection. In the end, not only did I not get help, I was almost beaten to death. The back I saw when I fainted was the same as the conversation I had with my parents that night.

The figures in Xu Jiu were somewhat similar, and I realized that they were the same kind of people, and their behavior was simply funny."

"I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to be saved by a group of scavengers in the end. Among the people who saved me, there were several familiar faces. They must be somewhat familiar with me, after all, there were so many people following behind them.

If I could, I would live with them without hesitation, but that land can no longer accommodate me."

When he said this, his tears suddenly came out again, and he looked at his mother blankly: "I didn't even have a chance to go to my mother's monument to repent. You are right, this is my eternal guilt. I don't know how many times I have been in front of my mother's monument."

When I woke up from the dream, I could still remember her appearance at first, but now I can’t even remember what she looked like.”

"I thought about escaping until I reached the border of Shanhai City. I wanted to go to another city, but I gave up when faced with the endless wasteland. During that time, I wandered around the city gate, not daring to go deep, nor to

I am still afraid of showing up, afraid that one day I will die like my parents."

When I heard this, I looked stunned. No wonder he slept until dawn every time. It was probably a habit brought about by often going out to look for food in the middle of the night.

I thought for a while and said, "That should have been two years ago?"

Before he could nod, my mother pulled me hard into her arms and chuckled: "I got the time right this time."

I tried my best to resist, but with little success, so I finally gave up and said honestly: "I remembered that he told me that he had lived here for two years before, so I guessed it. I wasn't blind."

"It was indeed two years ago. At the beginning, I was careful in everything, but as time passed, I became more relaxed." He sighed softly, looked at his mother again, and said with a smile, "I didn't understand until I heard your story.

, they have found me a long time ago, but there is no need to kill me, and that’s right, why bother them with a scavenger hunt."

"But you are not a scavenger." I said slowly. In the story, the human being should have some identity.

"I have never had the kind of identity in the story. My father's legacy disappeared at some point, and I don't even know where it was thrown."

Oh? I raised my head and looked at my mother and said, "Where did you pick it up?"

When I opened my mouth, she didn't understand, "What?"

"That's the sign you just gave him."

"Oh, that one, just pick it up casually."

I knew she was fooling me again. I had just ignored it every time I heard similar answers in the past, but this time I planned to keep asking.

"How specific?"

"I don't know what the names of the places here are. Anyway, it's on a rock. Oh my, is it so important where I picked it up? Go away, I won't hug you anymore."

She really pushed me out with a look of disgust on her face. I walked up to the human being and pretended to be angry without saying anything. As a result, my mother didn't even look at it, but she deceived the human being.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. It will be great if you find it."

He paused and then said: "I didn't know what it was at that time. After I learned about it, it had long since disappeared. At first, I was a little regretful, but when I think about it, it doesn't matter. Everyone's identity tag

They are all different, I can’t get anything substantial, not to mention, at the most critical moment, it doesn’t reflect the slightest value, it’s worthless.”

Of course I knew what he was referring to specifically. The topic was heavy and I was speechless.

At this time, the mother seemed to remember something, and took out something from her arms and said, "Is this the bone you mentioned?"

Bone? My attention was instantly attracted to it, entering the human territory. The word bone can be said to be the most heard, but I have never seen its true appearance. The opportunity to take a closer look must not be missed.

I rushed over first, grabbed it, held it in my hand for a closer look, and then handed it to the human with a disappointed look on my face.

It is an ordinary round object, about the size of my thumb, with a small ring-shaped hole carved in the center. The whole thing can be described as white and flawless, which is not unusual.

"Is this bone? It's like stone, just a little slippery."

"This! This is...!"

I didn't see my mother make a quiet gesture to the human being again. Even if I saw it, I couldn't ask anything.

"Isn't it just a stone? I'm so excited." I felt a little unhappy. I was so happy just now.

"No, this is the bone." His voice rose to several levels, and it was a bit harsh to my ears.

The mother immediately waved her hand and said, "I picked this up before. It's useless to keep it, so I'll give it to you."

"Give me??"

I think he is making a fuss. He can just hold a stone and it doesn't weigh much. If he really doesn't want it, he can just throw it away. Now he has to hold it no matter what, otherwise his stupid mother will annoy him to death.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, somewhat jokingly, "Now you will stop picking up things."

He bit his lip lightly, with tears in his eyes. From time to time he let out a few silly giggles, which took a long time to stop. Then he buried his head and said in a low voice, "I will always be a scoundrel."

"Don't sleep for so long in the future." Mother said softly, then stood up and walked straight in one direction.

"Shuangxuan, let's go."

I hurriedly followed and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go, let's go to Tiangong Street first. We can leave immediately after getting the ID card. This will save some time. By the way, bring the rest of the food."

Can I leave as soon as possible? Of course I was very happy about this, so I hurriedly ran back to pick up the remaining food. Just when I was about to ask the human to leave with me, I was suddenly grabbed by my mother. I don’t know when she arrived in front of me.

"He's not following us anymore."

This sentence was not hidden, and it naturally fell into his ears. At that moment, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then a less obvious voice came from behind: "I will find you, no matter how hard it takes!"

…

…

This departure seemed so sudden, and mere human beings were not worthy of nostalgia, but I still didn’t understand the story my mother told me.

If I can't find it myself, I want to know the answer this time.

"Mother."

"What's wrong?"

"Why would the human guarding the city help us? There is no reason."

"After that incident, almost all the families that could not escape became scavengers, but people still died from time to time. Through the distribution of identity cards that time, many people completely gave up their original identities. In fact, after becoming scavengers, their lives

They can be left behind. Those who have been looking for them all these years are not the owners of the mountains and seas, but people who know about it. Those families were once famous. The treasures on the surface are gone, but there are still many others secretly.

It’s hard to explain. For most people, any of those treasures can be worth a very large amount of money. At first, he regarded us as the remnants of that incident. Later, because of you, he understood

Come here, but it’s too late. Is your mother such an easy beast to deal with? She holds her hand in every word and deed~"

So it turns out that it is rare for a person who is kind to me to hide such evil intentions. The humans who sneer at me on the street are actually safe. This is something I never thought of.

"Mother, isn't the human being in your story very powerful?"

"That is a human being who has reached the end of this road. Of course he is awesome."

"Is this the path we're taking?"

"Countless winding paths come together and ultimately lead to the same destination."

"Then why do these humans go against what he says?"

"The supreme law of the human race is just a word in front of him. The master of the mountains and seas is very powerful, but he can only talk about life and death. His words are absolute, and no one dares to violate them unless that is his original intention."

"The method practiced by the beast tribe slaughtered tens of millions of human beings. Such a number was not noticed by anyone afterwards. The only ones who could do this were those who stood at the end, so it was the human race that erased those."

I understand, but I don’t quite understand.

"You don't need to delve into it. If you go down this road, you will understand it gradually."

"Oh... I have a few more questions. In the story you told, why do humans only follow those scavengers but don't play with them?"

"His parents once stood above the mountains and seas and had a complete set of education methods in their minds, but it was very different from the world. Everything he ate, lived and felt were all gleanings, and what he learned was all based on gleanings.

Because of the difference, no matter where you go, you feel like you are alone."

"I don't understand, is this good or bad?"

"I don't have an answer to this question yet, but I want to hear your opinion. Do you think it is good or bad?"

Me? I don’t even understand the matter very clearly. If I insist on saying it, it must be bad.

"With neither wind nor rain, why don't humans sleep somewhere else?"

"No matter what he experienced outside, at the moment of sunset, all he wanted in his heart was to return home. If one day, he goes back and does not see his parents or the half of the earthen wall, then this "return" will no longer exist.

, it’s like you are hungry and go out to hunt for food. No matter what the result is, you have to come back to me. This is difficult to let go. His parents don’t agree with Shi Shi’s identity from the inside out. Shi Shi can just find a place to sleep wherever he wants.

It may change every moment, but what they need is long-term, that is, "home"."

"I understand. Also, Hui Chun can obviously do more, why not save his mother?"

"Suppose you hunted two beasts. After you were full, and other beasts came to ask for food, would you give it to them?"

"Maybe."

"If there is no more food within a hundred miles, will you still give it?"

"I won't give it to you for sure!"

Not only would they not give it, they would also find a way to kill the two beasts that came to beg for food.

"Shuangxuan, you need to find the answer to this question yourself."
