A hand fell on Alan’s shoulder, Adele squatted down and whispered: "Your mother will be proud of you."

Ellen put his backhand on Adele's hand and nodded: "Thank you."

He has recovered his calm and stood up again, the tin room full of afternoon sun. Sunflowers are planted inside and outside the house, and you can 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 re-examined this place.

Adele also agrees: "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 this, but I am sure, a year ago, It’s still barren here, and it’s impossible to create such an oasis."

"If it didn't happen naturally, it was man-made?" Allen was surprised, who could create an oasis. Obviously, these flowers and trees can not grow into what they are now by just planting something.

It's created 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, and someone on the other side was walking towards here. He looked like a farmer, carrying a shovel on his shoulders, wearing a hat and couldn't see his face, all he knew was 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 is fine, she just feels strange. When he looked at Alan, he couldn't help but startled. The expression on Alan'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 around and left.

When she disappeared behind the trees, the farmer also came to the tin hut, the sun was shining, and he raised his head slightly under the brim of the hat. The shadowed eyes glanced at Alan, and then lost a bone to That yellow dog. He walked 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.

Ellen walked over, and a line 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 this makes sense. If I have forgotten, then do it again. Many, it’s totally meaningless."

"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 room and took out a cigarette gun and a pack of tobacco leaves inside. He sat down by the house, stepped on the ground with both feet, put the tobacco leaves in the pipe and said: "Would you like to listen to me tell a story?"

"You said." Alan sat on the other side, leaning against the outer wall of the house, raised his head, and blocked the bright but not glaring sunlight with his hands.

The man’s voice seemed to be coming from far away: "Many years ago, there was a man. He was a bastard. He had been to many places, had different women, and even those women already had his The flesh and blood, but still ruthlessly abandoned by him. 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 that he was in love with that girl."

"You may find it unbelievable, but it is the case. There is no logic at all in love, and it 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 strictly speaking, they are just partners who live 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 made her who was a princess become an ordinary girl. Girl. At first, 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 feel good about him. Then the two of them went together naturally. On a clear night, the girl gave himself to him. In the girl's cry, he vowed to be kind to her forever The girl believed it and regarded him as her life partner."

"However, at the end of the story, it is not as good as the ending like 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. He had to 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. Pray for his forgiveness." The man paused when he said: "If he has a chance to go to heaven..."

Ellen 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, I'm afraid she won't forgive me. Although she did say that she should put the dagger into the chest of that bastard. But now I find that the man is not that bastard, maybe he needs one. Opportunity to explain."

Alan stood up, ready to leave.

"Opportunities like this will never happen again," the man reminded.

"I know, but Miró 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 about it too?"

"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."

"I have been waiting for so long anyway, so please bear with me."

Ellen turned his back to the man and waved his hand: "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."
