Chapter 4 Chapter Three Doubts and Analysis

The death of the old man was originally expected, but when the death finally came, it was still shocking. First, there was a sudden silence—the strange voice from the old man's throat disappeared.Then, his hands no longer had any strength to fight against the gravity of the earth, so they hung down and landed on the bed. Then, another reason why everyone felt so quiet was that there was no sound from any of the instruments. The old man's eyes were still open, I was the first to reach out, trying to caress his eyelids, the doctor and I made a move almost at the same time, so in a split second, my hand and his reached out to the old man's face, very close to each other.

At that moment, I suddenly had an idea, it was an impulse.Just now, I wanted to stretch out my hand to press the old man's "Baihui Point", but the doctor told me to break it. This proves that this doctor has a deep understanding of traditional Chinese martial arts. It can be said to be a strange phenomenon. To train a doctor with the modern education system, he must first go through elementary school, middle school, and then university. , it takes at least fifteen years of your life (whether it really takes that much time, is it a waste of life, that is too serious a topic for discussion), and you have to be proficient in Chinese martial arts. It takes the same amount of time, and it is extremely difficult to do both at the same time.

But of course it's not impossible──People who can do this must have abnormal people, which is very remarkable. The doctor is very young, it seems that he has not been out of university for a long time, his facial features are correct, but his appearance is ordinary, and of course it is not the same as Dr. Yuan Zhenxia's extraordinary handsomeness.But on his youthful face, there is an expression full of self-confidence, not afraid to accept any challenge. It is not an aggressive challenge (a young man with that expression is very scary, just like a cockfight, with a very low level) , and this young doctor, his expression is very sure: he has the confidence to accept any challenge, no matter what difficulty or predicament, he can handle it.When we first came in, although our attention had been focused on the old man on the bed, we had glanced at him a few times, and we could feel this very directly.What's more, at that time, my heart moved: Who has seen the same look on someone's face before?

Can't remember, just a feeling of deja vu. This doctor seemed to disapprove of our intrusion, so he was very cold and kept silent. Later, what he said to Wen Baoyu and me could not be called friendly.The reason why I described the young doctor in detail is that my impulse at that time was aroused by his expression.My hand and his hand stretched out at the same time, trying to caress the dead Ivan's eyelids. I didn't change my movements, but the little finger suddenly popped out at that moment, and flicked to the edge of his palm. There are three small acupoints on the edge of a person's palm, no matter which one is hit, it can make the person's arm numb all the time, unable to exert force, so, for this young man who looks very cold and arrogant, he is more or less the same. There's a price to pay for being rude just now.

I shot very quickly, and it can be said to be a sneak attack, because there was no sign of it beforehand—even I stretched out my hand before I thought of it. However, as soon as my little finger popped out here, he turned his hand lightly, and his thumb raised up to meet my little finger. This change really surprised me. Not only is his response so fast, but also his method of response is so ingenious. He uses his thumb to deal with my little finger, even if his skill is not as deep as mine, but due to the inevitable result of the human body structure, his chances of gaining the upper hand are naturally much higher.

Naturally, I wouldn't confront him head-on, so I withdrew my hand all of a sudden, sank down slightly, and stroked Ivan's eyelids. The young doctor also retracted his thumb, and at the same time as me, he also stroked Ivan's eyelids, and then both of them retracted their hands at the same time. I'm sure that the "combat" just now, because it belongs to the advanced Chinese martial arts, it will be difficult for others to detect it, so I don't need to take into account other people's reactions, I just looked at my opponent. After looking at it, I saw that the doctor seemed to have nothing happened, just made eye contact with me.

I asked quickly, "What's your doctor's name?" While dealing with what a doctor should do after the death of a patient, the doctor just used the pen in his hand to point to the name tag on his white robe, as if blaming me for asking too much. I was somewhat embarrassed, but it was indeed because I was taken aback just now that I asked this question, and I had nothing to say. I looked at the name plate, and there were three words "Tie Tianyin" written on it. . This is a very legendary name, similar to a character in a martial arts novel. At that time, I watched him give the nurse a few words. The nurse pulled the bed sheet to cover Ivan's face. He walked out and pushed him away. After the door of the ward, he said: "If you are dead, you can leave too." Everyone snorted, and I frowned, thinking that this young doctor Tie Tianyin must not be an ordinary person.But under the current situation, I can't make further research, I just called out to his back: "What a handsome skill."

Tie Tianyin didn't turn around, but just raised her right hand high, like an athlete greeting the people around when he comes out. Wen Baoyu and Hu Shuo saw that I paid special attention to this doctor, and they asked me with winks at the same time. I just shook my head slowly, pointed to Ivan who was covered by the bed sheet, and asked, "What's the matter?" ... Who understands what he... said before he died?" Huang Tang looked at me maliciously: "He said you understand." I was annoyed: "I don't understand—I don't even understand why a senior police officer like you, who specializes in intractable diseases, was present in a traffic accident."

Ask me, Huang Tang showed an extremely puzzled expression.Infected by him, I immediately felt that there were many questions to ask——Ivan died here, where is his family?Where did the Taogers go?Where did Donna go again?How did the car crash? At this time, it must be because everyone's mind is full of doubts, so no one speaks out.When Wen Baoyu wanted to speak, Huang Tang took another step ahead. At that time, another medical staff came into the ward, Huang Tang said: "Don't interfere with the work of the hospital, let's find a place to talk." Hu said: "There may still be survivors of the crash sent to the hospital, we must not leave."

Huang Tang immediately looked at Hu Hua with a surprised expression, and immediately asked: "Is there anything else I don't know?" I replied loudly: "We don't know anything. Until now, I only know the old man who died on the bed. His name is Ivan. When I saw him a few years ago, he was a blond, extremely cute little boy." boy." As soon as I uttered these two sentences, Huang Tang couldn't help saying "Ah", at least he immediately understood who Ivan was, so he naturally glanced at Wen Baoyu. Because when we saw him, he asked the old man who he was, and Wen Baoyu replied: "Toys."

At that time, he didn't understand, but now, he naturally understands what "toy" means. For a moment, he blinked, his expression even more weird. At this moment, that young doctor named Tie Tianyin came over again.This time, he was quite friendly—but he was by no means condescending. All the behaviors of this young man showed that he had full self-confidence, and this impression became more and more profound in the future interactions. He walked over and said, "If you want to find a place to rest, you can go to Dr. Yuan Zhenxia's office—he is often away, so I often occupy his office." As he spoke, he had handed a key to Hu Shi. It seemed that he and Hu Shi were relatively close due to their natural similarities.I hurriedly said: "Thank you, if there are any other injured people who are still that old, please notify me immediately." Tie Tianyin raised her eyebrows, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that there are so many weird things, there really are." I sighed: "I'm afraid things are too weird, you are welcome to participate." Tie Tianyin laughed heartily, "One weird doctor in a hospital is enough." What he said, of course, was that Dr. Yuan Zhenxia was already weird enough, and he didn't have to participate anymore. He walked into the ward, and Wen Baoyu led us to Doctor Yuan's office. He and Yuan Zhenxia knew each other very well. He had been here more than once. After entering the office, he rummaged openly and found three bottles of wine. There was a period when Yuan Zhenxia was extremely depressed, hovering on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and was intoxicated day and night. These three bottles of wine were naturally leftovers from that time. I reminded Wen Baoyu: "Don't go too far, here, now is Doctor Tie's office." Wen Baoyu had his own way, and ignored my reminder: "What are you afraid of, Doctor Yuan is willing to use his office for him, so we know he must be a fellow." Nonsense stuck out his tongue: "It's terrible, it's like a gathering of heroes in Liangshanpo." Huang Tang's expression was very impatient. Among everyone, he was the one who reached out and grabbed a bottle of wine first, poured a big gulp into his mouth, and forgot about the rules that police officers are not allowed to drink during working hours .He said: "Tell me why I am here first, you will be interested to hear." Everyone looked at him, and he took another sip of his wine: "First, the police received four reports that a van was driving on Highway 9 in the wind and rain at extremely high speed—" As soon as he said this, I couldn't help but said: "There are more and more good citizens who are cooperating with the police. Is this worth reporting to the police?" Huang Tang glanced at me coldly, and said calmly: "Three reports, the content is the same, this van is speeding in the wind and rain, there is no driver." All of a sudden, everyone who had moved in the first place also froze. The van has no driver! Naturally, this van should be the one that picked up Donna and Ivan. At that time, Wen and Hu didn't see who was driving it. If there was no driver, then of course they couldn't see it. Huang Tang took a deep breath and just glared at me, without further blaming me for the premature sarcasm just now. Originally, even if such a report was received, the matter would not reach Huang Tang for a while, but it happened that there was a heavy storm that day, Huang Tang stayed at the police station and did not leave. The police officer on duty received three reports one after another, saying that Seeing "unmanned vans speeding on Highway No. 9", I was at a loss as to what to do. When I saw Huang Tang passing by, I immediately handed over the report to him. Huang Tang's first reaction was: "It's unreasonable." At this moment, the fourth report came again. Huang Tang answered it himself, and heard a man's voice in despair: "I witnessed a van driving at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour before passing the junction of Highway No. 9." , this car... has no driver, no one in the driver's seat." Huang Tang said urgently: "Please explain in detail." The man was angry: "Isn't it detailed enough? I'm turning around and chasing this car. Send someone quickly. I'm Team Leader Shi." At this time, Huang Tang also recognized that the reporter was a colleague and also a senior police officer. Huang Tang knew that Team Leader Shi was smart and capable, and he would never talk nonsense, so he reported his name and said, "I'll come right away, Team Leader Shi, be careful." At that time, he couldn't tell why he had to give a special warning, but it was probably because things were so weird—a driverless car was speeding in the wind and rain, it could be any weird thing. Huang Tang immediately drove to Highway No. 9. In the car, he mobilized a small team of police officers and continued to communicate with Team Leader Shi. Team leader Shi was crossing the opposite side of the car, and he saw that there was no driver in the driver's seat of the van. At first glance, he thought he was dazzled. (Not long after we entered Yuan Zhenxia's office, Huang Tang invited Team Leader Shi. Therefore, what we heard was the first-hand account of Team Leader Shi, not Huang Tang's retelling. accurate.) He is a police officer with very keen observation skills. Although things are hard to believe, he is sure that there must be something strange in it.So while reporting the crime, he used his superb driving skills and immediately made a 180-degree turn on the road to chase the van. At this moment, he knew that his report had attracted the attention of Huang Tang, who was in charge of special affairs, which made him feel at ease. When he started chasing the van on the road, the wind and rain were past their heyday, but they were still windy and rainy. On one side of the cliff, the rain rushed down like a waterfall, crossed the road, and went to the other side of the road. Sometimes, the water on the road is quite deep, and the car passes by, splashing high water, which is quite thrilling. When team leader Shi turned around to catch up, the distance between the two cars was about 300 meters. He estimated that the speed of the driverless car could reach 100 kilometers per hour, so he chased at a higher speed. The distance between the two cars gradually approached, and when they were only 100 meters behind, the van in front suddenly accelerated, as if it knew someone was chasing it and wanted to get rid of it. When Team Leader Shi narrated this, we had a discussion.At that time, that doctor Tie Tianyin also came, he was not very loud, but he listened very attentively. In a small office, it can be regarded as full of talents, if Dr. Yuan Zhenxia suddenly appeared, it would be even more lively. Wen Baoyu was the first to say: "The car has no driver and no one is driving. How do you know someone is following you?" Hu said: "There are four elderly people in the compartment, and the van is traveling at high speed, which is very dangerous." My opinion is: "There must be someone driving the car, but we don't know the driver's situation." Huang Tang and Team Leader Shi looked strange and inexplicable, and asked each other in low voices: "Invisible people?" Then they said: "It's too exciting." I continued: "It may be an invisible person, it may be remote control, the driver may be very small, the car may have been modified so that it can be controlled from the cabin... There are many other possibilities. Officer Shi's experience proves that someone... has Power is in control of that car." Everyone had no objection to my conclusion, so Team Leader Shi continued. Seeing the other party speeding up, team leader Shi was horrified and annoyed at the same time. He didn't know there were people in the compartment, but he knew that it was very dangerous for a van to drive at such a high speed. He also speeded up to catch up, while constantly contacting Huang Tang, telling him the situation, hoping that he would hurry up. Team Leader Shi's car caught up with the van in a very dangerous situation. At that time, the van might not be able to increase its speed anymore. Knowing that no one was driving, Team Leader Shi was still mad when he was about to catch up. Ring the car number.Fortunately, during the long chase, there was no other car on the road, otherwise an accident would have happened. Naturally, the van did not intend to slow down. Team Leader Shi chased after him very hard, approaching the other party centimeter by centimeter.Finally, he passed the van from the side of the van. Just because the two cars were driving at high speed at that time, Team Leader Shi was beside the van and drove forward together with the van for three minutes. During this time, he had ample opportunity to watch to the situation in the cab of a van. Team leader Shi said with certainty: "No one. In the driving position, there is absolutely no one." When he said this, he still had lingering fears, his voice changed, his complexion turned pale, and he picked up the bottle and drank heavily.It can be seen that when he saw this situation clearly at that time, he was shocked. A car with no driver in sight, but speeding along the road, in terms of horror, it is naturally not as terrifying as a fleet of spaceships suddenly carrying many strange aliens.But in more cases, simple weirdness will be more terrifying than massive weirdness-seeing a severed hand crawling on the ground is more terrifying than seeing a whole zombie.Although team leader Shi was shocked, he also displayed the calmness that an excellent police officer should have. He insisted on overtaking the van, and was about 30 meters ahead, and then the whole car stopped suddenly. From the other side of the car door, it rolled out. This series of actions sounds simple, but without excellent skills, it is impossible to do it. Moreover, this was the only way to stop this van at that time. Therefore, when he mentioned this part without exaggeration, everyone applauded together to express their appreciation, and he seemed very happy. Team Leader Shi's body was still rolling on the road, and there was a loud bang, which had already passed, and Team Leader Shi saw his car was hit and rolled on the road, as if it was rolling and chasing after it. His monster scared him so much that he scrambled to escape. His body turned seven or eight times before he stopped. During this period, Team Leader Shi could not see the situation of the van, but heard several loud noises. When he jumped up to look, the highway There was no trace of the van on the road, and there was a loud ping-pong sound coming from the cliff below the road. It was obvious that the van rolled down the cliff. Team leader Shi ran over, looked down, and saw two wheels rolling down to the sea under the cliff at a very fast speed, bounced on the rocks, and fell into the sea. And that van no longer exists, it fell to pieces, hanging in the east, half falling in the west, and became countless fragments. Team Leader Shi stayed for a while before he heard a faint groan. He looked down and was startled, and saw an old man under his feet, blocked by a bush and never fell. . As soon as Team Leader Shi came up, he looked far away, and never thought that there was a person so close.And after he saw that person, for a while, he couldn't connect this person with the wrecked car. He pulled the man up and dragged him a few steps to a safe place, only to find that it was an old man who couldn't get any older. He also wanted to use his own car to communicate with Huang Tang, but his car, after performing nearly ten consecutive forward rolls, was no more than a pile of scrap iron. At this time, first a small team of police officers dispatched by Huang Tang arrived, and then Huang Tang also arrived. What happened next was all routine. During this period, Hu Hua and Wen Baoyu were looking for the whereabouts of the four elderly people. From the police communication network, they learned the news that the van crashed and the injured had arrived at the hospital. Contact me and we will meet at the hospital. So, when I saw Huang Tang in the hospital, I felt so weird, and when Huang Tang saw me, it was even more weird. The first thing he thought of was: the strange thing must have something to do with Wesley. Then it was still Team Leader Shi's narration: "I knew that things were weird, so I ordered the small team of police officers to climb down and search for the car's fragments──" I said: "The important thing is that there are three more people." Team leader Shi said: "In the process of searching for debris, if there are people, they will definitely be found. But I don't think there will be survivors under such circumstances, especially if the other three people are also so old." Next, Wen Baoyu and I also told the story of Tao Ge and his wife's coming. Huang Tang and Team Leader Shi were naturally inexplicably surprised. I paid attention to Dr. Tie and saw that he was frowning very calmly.I reminded him: "You know those little robots that treat people as toys? They are only 20 centimeters tall, but they go up and down the world and can do anything." Doctor Tie's answer was unexpected: "So, they are easy to control a car to move forward at high speed." This sentence made everyone feel a chill—if such a small robot suddenly flew in with a buzzing sound, then none of us here would be opponents, it is a typical ability Superb demons and ghosts take human life in an instant. Team leader Shi spoke first: "There is no driver in the driver's seat." Tie Tianyin said: "The van is relatively high, and in your condition at that time, you couldn't see the lower half of the driver's seat." I also raised my eyebrows. That’s right. At that time, Team Leader Shi, although he had been driving side by side with the van, he couldn’t see the whole of the driver’s seat. If the driver was a normal person at that time, he would naturally be able to see it.But if the driver is a 20-centimeter-tall robot that controls the accelerator and determines the speed, Team Leader Shi cannot see it. The problem is: if a small robot controls the car, it has great powers and can easily lift the car to the sky, so why should it crash on the road? It can be seen that things are not that simple. Everyone had the same idea, Wen Baoyu waved his hand: "The most important thing is the old man's last words. They wanted to see Wesley, and they must have wanted to say such inexplicable words." Tie Tianyin, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice, "That remark cannot be said to be 'inexplicable'." Wen Baoyu immediately looked at him, and made a gesture of "Then please explain what you said." Tie Tianyin smiled: "I just disagree that the old man's dying words are inexplicable. I don't know what the old man's words mean. The old man said that Mr. Wei knew, and I think Mr. Wei must know." Tie Tianyin's answer was impeccable - I found that the best answer to a question I didn't know was "don't know", which made the picky opponent no longer picky. Wen Baoyu had no choice but to spread his hands. At this moment, all the people looked at me, and I declared again: "No, I don't understand." But Tie Tianyin said: "You must understand, but you can't remember now, otherwise, the old man wouldn't say that." I sighed and said nothing more.Whether I understand Ivan's words, I don't know for sure.People all over the world say what's the use of knowing, but I really don't know. Facing the eyes of everyone looking at me, as if waiting for me to explain Ivan's last words, I sighed again: "I can repeat Ivan's words verbatim, but I will say it again: I not understand." After I said this, everyone fell silent, and after a while, I was still the first to break the silence, and I said: "It sounds like an old-fashioned fantasy story──There is a huge conspiracy going on Go ahead, everyone will fall into a trap. If you fall into the trap, naturally there will be no good results, so I will do my best to fight against this conspiracy, eliminate the conspiracy, and you're done." I said it in one breath, each People are still staring at me.Hu said: "That is the truth that the old man wants to tell us, and it is exactly what he wants you to do. It cannot be said to be an old-fashioned fantasy story." I held up my hands: "Don't take me too seriously. Although the message comes from a person with such a strange identity, I can't fight against this illusory 'conspiracy' just by relying on those few nonsensical words—— A great boxer can't punch the air, and he has to beat the air." Everyone was silent for a while, Huang Tang sighed: "When the old man was dying, he couldn't speak clearly. If you were at home when they came looking for you, that would be fine." I couldn't help becoming anxious: "Isn't this nonsense?" Mostly because of my ugly expression, Huang Tang didn't say anything more.Team Leader Shi took a breath, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and I said again: "What the police have to do is to collect the wreckage of that van, and don't let a piece of it go. , conduct a thorough test, and if possible, let divers go into the sea to retrieve the fragments." Huang Tang raised his eyebrows: "What is the purpose?" I waved my hand vigorously: "See if there is anything special about this car──If the police can't do everything, they can be responsible for collecting the fragments, and I will be in charge of the laboratory work." Huang Tang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pinched his nose hard, then nodded vigorously. I stood up and was about to leave. When I came to the door, I turned around and looked at Tie Tianyin. Tie Tianyin was so alert that he immediately understood what I meant. The deceased, and will tell you the result as soon as possible." I clapped my hands lightly twice, Wen Baoyu was a little bit unwilling to be reconciled to the descendants: "Let's look again, there are three old people whose whereabouts are unknown." At that time, I didn't pay attention to Wen Baoyu's words.It was later learned that the police did not agree to the search in the sea, and Wen Baoyu hired eight divers from a professional diving and salvage company to dive into the sea to salvage—it is very difficult to carry out this kind of work after the storm. After three days of hard work, no one was found in the sea, but some relatively large pieces of the car were found and handed over to the police. The pieces from the sea, and the ones the police found on the hillside, were packed in a big box and awaited my disposal. When I said that I could be responsible for the laboratory work, I already had an idea—send the fragments to the Yun's Industrial Complex in France. Although the journey is far away, the Yun's Industrial Complex has the best laboratory, and it took a lot of trouble. , is also worthwhile. So, I managed to get in touch with Yun Sifeng, one of the heads of Yun's Industrial Group. Yun Sifeng called in the afternoon of the next day, and it took me five minutes to tell him the matter.As expected of his clear mind and quick thinking, he immediately asked the center of the question: "Do you want to discover special metals and special structures to prove that the car has been controlled by external forces?" I said loudly: "Yes, it's a pleasure working with you!" Yun Sifeng said: "Do you suspect that the little robots in the future world are still in this world to harm mankind?" I sighed: "I don't know. I have to do everything possible to explore, trying to figure out why Tao Ge's family became so old in just a few years, and also want to figure out what the last words mean." Yun Sifeng thought for a while, and then said: "I wish you success──I will send someone to deal with that box of laboratory products, and I will notify you of the results as soon as I have them." I thank you, Yun's Industrial Group has offices all over the world, and the work is very clean and neat. I don't have to worry about that part of the work, I just need to wait for the result. In fact, during those three days, I was so upset that I really wanted to go to Miaojiang immediately, meet Bai Su, and discuss with her some concepts I had thought of a few days ago. Moreover, I also feel that this matter is very difficult. Bai Su has expressed her plan several times to train her daughter to become a modern person in the shortest possible time. She changes her mind. Part of it is because I feel that even if I go to Miaojiang, my goal will be difficult to achieve.Half of it is due to Wen Baoyu and Hu Hua, who are doing everything possible to find the other three missing elderly people.Wen Baoyu even insisted that if the three elderly people were killed in a car accident, even if the bodies fell into the sea, there would always be some signs to be found.Now I can't find anything, it is very possible that the three people are not dead, and they may appear again, so I don't want to leave. Another reason why I stayed was that I was still waiting for Tie Tianyin's autopsy report.Three days later in the evening, Tie Tianyin came to me with a briefcase, his expression was extremely tired, his eyes were full of red threads, it could be seen that he had been exhausted at work these days and had very little rest. I glanced at him first, and he sighed: "There is nothing suspicious at all. All body functions are exhausted due to old age, which is a typical death due to aging. The results of the autopsy are all here, you can watch." I shook my head, trusting his judgement. He knit his brows and was silent for a moment: "There is one thing that is very strange. The old man has no trauma, no trauma at all, and when he was discovered, he should have been thrown out after a car accident—in such a situation Next, it won't be completely immune to trauma..." Hearing what Tie Tianyin said, I was also very puzzled.When they rushed to the hospital that day and saw Ivan, everyone concentrated on what Ivan had to say before he died.According to Ivan, he died, and no one paid attention to whether he was injured. Tie Tianyin looked at me, waiting for my explanation.I knew he must have thought it all out, so I made a gesture that I wanted his opinion first. Tie Tianyin and I only met for the second time, but I have a good impression of him and feel that he can work together. Tie Tianyin reacted immediately: "Officer Shi jumped out of the car, and the van hit it. During that time, there was probably three or four seconds. Officer Shi couldn't see the van, so I don't know what happened." I nodded, which shows that he has very fine observation skills.I asked: "What do you think will happen in these three seconds, but Officer Shi didn't see it?" Tie Tianyin first expressed his conclusion with a simple sentence: "The four old people in the carriage have been dealt with." His statement is very peculiar, and I will wait for his further explanation.He thought for a while: "Little robot." After saying these four words, he stopped again.Every time, when I hear the word "little robot", I can't help but feel a chill, and this time is no exception. Moreover, although he only said four words, I already understood what his vision was. His idea is that there are one or several small robots controlling the whole thing, and it is the small robots that drive the car. Since the small robots are only 20 centimeters high, when controlling the car to move forward, it will look like There is no one in the driver's seat. When the way was blocked, the little robot grabbed the four old people and left the carriage. The little robot moved quickly, so Officer Shi didn't see what happened. The reason why Ivan stayed on the hillside may be that the little robot did so on purpose, or it may have stayed because of an accident—he was not thrown out after the crash, so there was no trauma. I told him these things, and Tie Tianyin nodded to show that he thought so. He made another conclusion like this: "The three old men are not dead, the little robot is continuing to play with them, and may take them to the future world, and may leave them in the Gobi Desert, or anywhere, will Keep using them as toys." Tie Tianyin's character must be very calm. When he said such a terrible thing that might happen, he was extremely calm and there was no abnormality at all. I was speechless for a while, and the more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Tie Tianyin said in a deep voice: "So, I think the matter has come to an end. The situation is like when you saw them in India and woke up drunk the next day and disappeared." I shook my head: "Of course not." Tie Tianyin insisted on her own opinion: "It looks different on the surface, but it is actually the same—the little robot from the future world has always been there, and the Tao Ge family has always been their toy." I slowly took a breath: "The Tao Ge family will become toys, we are human beings, and we will also become toys." Tie Tianyin spread her hands: "Who said it wasn't?" His reaction made me jump up straight. In any case, it is impossible for a young man in his early twenties to have such deep and dispassionate thoughts. This kind of thinking is not only mature, but also pessimistic. Enterprising and positive run counter to each other. Last time, after I came back from India, I sorted out and recorded the strange experiences, and felt sad and fearful for the Tao Ge family's "toy" status. Bai Su sighed, and she agreed with Tao Ge's words-- Tao Ge said, everyone They are all toys, they are the toys of other people, and at the same time, they treat other people as toys. Tao Ge once excitedly published a long speech explaining his point of view, but Bai Su did not put it very simply.She said: "Tao Ge is right. No one lives completely for himself, and can live without being teased by any external relationship." I also agree with her words, and the conclusion is: people are basically toys. However, that's my opinion and Bai Su's, especially me, after having such an experience, I naturally tend to have pessimistic thoughts.Tie Tianyin shouldn't have it. In an instant, my thoughts were extremely chaotic. The first thing that came to my mind was that Tie Tianyin was alone, so it was impossible for him to have such an idea. He must have discussed it with someone. I was impatient, and said whatever came to my mind, so I pointed at him and asked, "Who did you consult with to get this opinion?" Judging from Tie Tianyin's reaction, it was obvious that I had hit the spot right away. No matter how calm he was, he couldn't hide the sudden surprise. However, before he answered, my train of thought suddenly jumped away again—this is a common situation when a person's thoughts are disordered. What I suddenly thought of was that Bai Su's current actions were to put himself His daughter is being played with as a toy? Originally, Hong Ling was a free savage. Although she was covered with long hair, she was completely independent and she was her own master. Now, she is our daughter, and she has to do a lot of things that she doesn't want to do or refuse to do. But we do everything we can to ask her to do-such as writing. Since she was discovered, she has entered her "toy" career like everyone else. Is it possible to pull her out while she is "not yet deep into the toy world"?If so, what action should be taken?Should we let her go back so that she can turn back into a savage from the mountains? That's naturally impossible──I thought of this messily, shaking my head involuntarily.而忽然又想到，人的一生之中，所有的行为，真正是自己乐意去进行的，又有多少？为什么一定会有那么多自己不愿做的事，却偏偏要做？是谁定下的规矩？为什么像是天条一样，人人遵守，竟没有人反抗，甚至没有人质疑，为什么！ 我当时的想法很凌乱，而且，都以红绫为中心，觉得她应该可以不要许多桎梏，而作为她至亲的父母，却正把种种束缚加在她的身上，养大她的灵猴就不会那么做，如果她天性不受受缚，那么，远父母而亲灵猴，定必然的趋势。 我所想的事，既然如此杂乱，抓不到中心，神情自然也不免古怪，有点心不在焉的茫然。直到我略定了定神，才看到铁天音正注视着我，道：“能令你想得那么出神的事，一定很有趣了。” 我苦笑：“一点也没有趣──我甚至不知道自己在想些什么！” 铁天音没有再问，可是他分明不相信会有“自己不知道自己想什么”的情形发生。他道：“你的问题，我已回答过了，不过你正在出神，一定未曾听进去。” 我又苦笑──因为我确然不知道他已经回答了。由此可知我神思恍惚到了什么程度，我道：“能不能请你再回答一次？” 当我这么说的时候，我要集中精神想一想，才记得起我问了他什么问题。 铁天音的答案：“家父，我曾和他讨论过。” 我顺口问：“令尊是──” 这个问题，我虽然只问了三个字，可以说还未曾完成，可是包括的范围却极广，等于要答的人把有关这个人的一切，都大略告诉我，不是只答姓什么名什么做什么那么简单。铁天音吸了一口气，神色庄重，这表示在他的心目中，对他的父亲十分看重。 他的回答简直明了：“家父是军人，他常说，和你是旧相识。” 这两句话，铁天音用我十分熟悉，听来极其亲切的乡音说出，说完之后，他望定了我，明显地表示，他不会再说什么了。 我感到意外之极。一时之间，脑中更是紊乱，不知道从何处想起才好。 我先想到，我离开家乡很早，铁天音用乡音来回答我的问题，当不是偶然，而是有强烈的提示作用的。 那么，这个“旧相识”，竟是我在家乡时的相识，是我少年时的朋友。 铁天音姓铁，那么他的父亲，当然也姓铁──这两句话，看来是十足的废话，但是我当时，确然是这样想下来的，而且，立刻有了答案。 我伸手指着他，张大了口，由于实在太意外，而且也实在太激动，竟至于讲不出话来。 铁天音一看到我这样情形，他当然可以知道我已经明白他的父亲是什么人了，他显出十分高兴的神情，“家父也常说，虽然多年不见，但只要有机会，向你一提起他，不必说名字，你一定立刻会回亿起来。” 我本来想笑，可是喉际一阵抽搐，反倒变成了剧咳。一面咳，一面仍然心急地叫了出来，“你是铁大将军的儿子，太不可思议了。” 铁天音笑：“我以为你会叫：你原来是铁蛋的儿子！” 我这时，总算一口气缓了过来，走向前去，用力拍他的肩头，一面不住笑着。忽然之间，有了少年时旧相识的消息，而且，这个当时名字叫铁蛋的少年人，早已成了鼎鼎有名的将军，生命历程，传奇之至，虽然当年分开之后，一直没有见过，但是他的一切活动，都被广泛传播，我自然也知道。 铁大将军后来改名铁旦，战功彪炳，威名远震，他少年时就从军，身经百战，听说在一次战役之中，受了重伤，从此就销声匿迹，音讯全无，为他传奇的一生，更增添了神秘的色彩。很多人以为他已不在人世了。 现在，铁天音这样说，这位传奇大将军，自然还在人世，只是隐居得十分彻底而已。我深深地吸了一口气，又好一会说不出话来。少年时的相识，很有几个成了名人、伟人的，铁大将军是其中之一，我和他同学的时间只有几个月，可是印象却深刻无比，所以一下子就想得起来。 （熟悉我叙事作风的朋友一定可以知道，铁蛋也好，铁旦也罢，自然都不是真名字。大将军的身分是真的，隐居和销声匿迹，真多假少，在战役中受了重伤，也可以作多方面的了解，战役并不一定是战场上的厮拼，各种各样、形形色色的斗争，都可以广义地视为战役。） （而忽然出现了这个同学少年，和这个故事的主旨，也有关系，不是平空添加的。） （这个故事的人物有点怪，范围广得出奇，有风烛残年的老人，有豹隐多年的大将军，下文还会出现一个学跳芭蕾舞的小女孩──不可思议吧？） 等到惊讶的情绪平复下来之后，我大大吁了一口气：“令尊究竟隐居在什么所在？” 铁天音的回答，又出乎我的意料之外：“德国，莱茵河畔的一个小镇。” 我再问：“他的伤势──” 铁天音缓缓摇了摇头：“一直坐轮椅，他固执得不肯装义肢，我在医学院毕业之后，告诉他现代的义肢制作精巧无比，可是他还是不要。” 我十分感叹：“我想，他要借此表示一种抗议？” 铁天音抿嘴不语，显然他不明白他父亲的真正想法是什么。 要详细叙说铁旦大将军的一切，可以写好几十万字，自然这个故事不是为他写传，只拣和故事有关的和极骇人听闻的，简略说一下──那也有表示自己的同学少年之中有这样的人物，引以为荣的意思在。 我伸手取起了电话来，望向铁天音，意思是这就要和他父亲联络，铁天音摇头：“他把自己与世隔绝，不过，如果你去找他，他会肯见你。”
