Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Junhua and Gan Tiesheng's feelings were obviously different. They both seemed very silent. Gan Tiesheng looked at the whole mountain, and after a while, he said, "What does he want to do when he stands here? Want to see how heartbroken my brother is? Enemy wiped out?" Bai Su's tone was calm: "He came here after announcing a false military order, or did he come here before?" Junhua shook her head: "No one knows." I stood in the center of the stone ping and looked at the surrounding environment. It was probably the change of expression on my face, which was too familiar to Bai Su, so she knew what I was thinking at this moment. She stepped on her foot hard Shiping: "If there are any aliens, this Dashiping is an ideal place for their spaceship to land."

"Outsiders" are not unfamiliar to me and Bai Su. In many incidents, I have interacted with "them" to varying degrees, but to Gan Tiesheng and Junhua, they are naturally very strange, especially It was Gan Tiesheng, who felt abrupt, and immediately asked, "Visitors from space? What are you talking about?" I made a gesture - pointing to the sky: "We once assumed that there was an external force that affected Fang Tiesheng's normal brain activity and caused him to have completely different thoughts. , the cause of the act of treachery without reason."

Gan Tiesheng's eyebrows were extremely tight, and it seemed that he was trying to think about the possibility, and the conclusion he reached after thinking about it was beyond my expectation, and he snorted in great dissatisfaction: "You guys are too far-fetched. , how can there be any aliens!" I sighed: "You have lived in seclusion in the deep mountains for too long! Many things have happened on the earth in the past few decades, and you don't know it. The aliens come from different planets and have been active on the earth for a long time. Each has its own purpose. , Each has its own way, and it is ever-changing. In their view, people on earth are quite low-energy creatures—more and more people on earth know this.”

Gan Tiesheng listened very attentively. After all, he was already very knowledgeable. Coupled with decades of painstaking thinking, I believe he can accept many viewpoints that ordinary people think are impossible. Sure enough, after thinking for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It sounds reasonable, but why did the aliens use their power to make Fang Tiesheng betray?" He not only comprehended our assumptions quickly, but also raised doubts. Bai Su and I felt happy, but we could only smile wryly: "There is no reason—this is just our immature assumption." Bai Su added: "So I want to go to the scene to have a look. If aliens have really been there, there will always be some traces left."

Junhua has lived in a foreign country for a long time, so she naturally has the opportunity to come into contact with many fantasies about aliens, but she is not as accepting of our assumptions as Gan Tiesheng, so she pointed at the pile of rock dams in a sarcasm, and The strangely deep and equal "scratches" on the two cliffs said: "Look, there may be a spaceship flying in from there. The wings of the spaceship, across the cliff, formed a notch, and made the stones on the cliff , collapsed sharply and piled up into a rock dam!" Bai Su and I could naturally hear her voice, Bai Su smiled: "I have already noticed that if such a thing had happened, the spaceship would definitely be damaged when it hit a mountain, but there is no wreckage left."

Junhua smoothly pointed to the mountain peak behind Shiping: "There are many caves there, maybe I flew into them, but they are still there now!" When Gan Tiesheng heard this, he cried out, "Is what you are talking about true or false?" I immediately said: "It may be true, it may be false. There are so many caves in that mountain, you have to look for it." Junhua looked very disapproving at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she changed her mind: "Yes, I have to look for it, this is a typical Wesleyan way to solve problems!" I laughed "haha" and said, "The other day you asked someone to read the manuscript of your novel and hoped to hear my opinion. Isn't it because the 'Wesleyan method of solving problems' is very useful?"

Junhua admitted frankly: "Exactly! If you can really find evidence that aliens have been here, then your hypothesis can become a fact." Gan Tiesheng also laughed: "This is really the best example of 'Bold assumptions, careful verification'." The words Gan Tiesheng said were the most popular words in the era when he was seeking knowledge. He said it naturally at this time, which shows that the background of a person's life has a long-term influence on this person. The four of them didn't stay on Shiping for long, and began to inspect the caves on the peaks behind Shiping. This was a rather time-consuming operation. During the operation, Junhua kept telling Gan Tiesheng briefly and concisely about our Gan Tiesheng looked at me with strange eyes more and more times due to the many experiences described in the book.

Until it got dark, Gan Tiesheng used his ability to live in the wild, and I was not willing to be resigned to future generations, so our dinner was so rich that it included a roasted roe deer, two roasted rabbits, and some sweet and sour wild fruits. , Surrounded by a large bonfire, after I was full, I took out the wine that I had been hiding by my side, which made Gan Tiesheng cheer. Everyone was not sleepy, the world was far and wide, and the topic was wide-ranging. It was only in the middle of the night that we took a break. Bai Su and I hugged each other lightly, let the soft mountain breeze blow gently, the moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and the shadows of the mountains were extremely quiet. place.We have been together before and have had various life experiences, but this is the first time we have been in a situation like this, so it feels a little fresh.

Not far from us, Junhua and Gan Tiesheng dared to lean against each other. Junhua had already fallen asleep, and Gan Tiesheng curled up into a ball, looking up at the sky, his eyes wide open, motionless, obviously awake. I lowered my voice: "The assumption Gan Tiesheng made just now is bolder than all the assumptions we have made!" Bai Su made a disdainful expression: "It's not that bold, left and right are just poisoned by 'Wesley poison'." I told her angrily and funnyly: "I think his assumption is also very reasonable." Bai Su laughed: "Naturally, you think it makes sense, because his assumption is based on your logic."

I didn't say anything more, I just thought about the situation when Gan Tiesheng put forward the hypothesis just now. While drinking, our topics were very extensive. Gan Tiesheng asked me a lot of questions. It seemed that all the questions accumulated in his mind for decades wanted to be solved overnight. As he said that, he suddenly mentioned another thing: "You have only seen Fang Tiesheng's photo, but for those who have never seen him, it is still hard to imagine that there is such a big man!" I said: "Looking at the photos alone, the impression is deep enough."

Gan Tiesheng took a deep breath, poked the fire with a branch, and said after a moment of silence: "I suddenly had a strange idea. Fang Tiesheng's appearance is so different. His beard grows so fast that he almost shaved his left side first. , When the right side was shaved again, the left side grew out again! His strength is also unreasonably large!" Junhua turned her body slightly, avoiding the sparks splashed by him because he stirred the fire, and stared at him: "What do you want to explain?" I was the first to answer on behalf of Gan Tiesheng, because Gan Tiesheng's words won my heart, which is what Bai Su later said "consistent with my way of thinking". "He wanted to explain that Fang Tiesheng might be an alien!" Jun Hua's mouth opened wide, her expression was extremely astonished, Bai Su hurriedly reached out and patted the back of her hand twice: "Don't be too surprised, it's his usual method to treat anyone as an alien , Sometimes, even I am suspected of being an alien, maybe he himself suspects that he is an alien." Bai Su's few words eased Junhua's tension - she had such a deformed and intimate relationship with Fang Tiesheng, if Fang Tiesheng was an alien, she would naturally have reasons for being nervous and astonished. But Gan Tiesheng nodded repeatedly when he said to me: "His background is unknown. No one knows who his parents are and where he came from. When he was discovered, he was looking for food in garbage dumps. His intelligence is extremely high. What? It's amazing how smart you can learn it..." When he said this, he paused: "His name is 'Tiesheng', if he is the only survivor in a crashed spaceship, then this name couldn't be more appropriate—" Junhua patted him on the shoulder forcefully: "The more you say it, the weirder it is, your own name is also Tiesheng!" Gan Tiesheng shook his head: "I'm different, I have parents, I have backgrounds to check, unlike his unknown background!" Bai Su and I looked at each other, and the half-smile expression on Bai Su’s face told me that she was saying in her heart: “Listen, Gan Tiesheng’s imagination is richer than yours. Noun, I’m afraid I’ve never heard of it before!” Gan Tiesheng continued: "If he is an alien, then it is not surprising that he betrayed at a critical moment. Hmph, he is not of my race, so his heart must be special!" He suddenly came to such a conclusion, which made me stunned for a while, unable to react. Gan Tiesheng's hypothesis is certainly not impossible, but I disagree with his judgment of "not my race". Gan Tiesheng stared at me with burning eyes. Under the light of the fire, his wrinkled and extremely rough face showed an expression of eagerness to hear my opinion.I thought about it: "It is not ruled out that he is an alien, but even if he is, his betrayal is meaningless." Gan Tiesheng snorted, "Perhaps people like him, betrayal is their nature!" I couldn't help shivering, and I immediately thought that if it is the nature of a person on a certain star to betray, then this person on a star should be the most terrifying creature in the universe! I murmured: "If there is... such a person, I hope that Fang Tiesheng is the only one left on the earth." Bai Su didn't express any opinions, but I knew she must be thinking about something. Junhua yawned and looked at Gan Tiesheng: "Your imagination is as good as Wesley's!" Gan Tiesheng and I laughed a few times, and didn't appreciate Junhua's "humour" very much. After that, the topic changed to other things. It wasn't until the break that I thought about it again, and discussed a few more words with Bai Su. Suddenly, I thought of something again, and gave Bai Su a nudge: "Our idea can be connected with Gan Tiesheng's idea." Bai Su didn't answer right away, but I naturally knew that she understood what I said.After a while, she said: "Is there someone of his kind who found him? Or, his kind used some method to make him know his true identity? In short, the external power we assume comes from his kind ?” I nodded: "If Fang Tiesheng is really an alien." Although Bai Su and I have a low voice, Gan Tiesheng, who has lived in the wild for a long time, has a very sensitive hearing and looked towards us immediately. Bai Su waved to him, and Gan Tiesheng also waved his hand. Bai Su said, "Alien children have been living and growing up on Earth. Civilized and advanced aliens will naturally try their best to find their children back." I just laughed and raised my hands: "I take back this assumption, because Fang Tiesheng didn't go back. At least, sixteen years ago, he was still seen in Wuyi Mountain." Bai Su pondered for a while: "Perhaps, he is used to living on Earth and doesn't want to go back to his own planet." I expressed my doubts: "Live in seclusion in the mountains?" Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "He lives in a small Taoist temple, and he may have become a monk. Don't forget, there are people he once loved on the earth, and he swore to love the ninety-nine and eighty-ones!" I sneered: "It's obviously a lie. His betrayal betrayed everyone, including Junhua." Gan Tiesheng's body trembled: "I also think it is unlikely that his kind will come to Earth." Bai Su pointed at Junhua: "According to her account, Fang Tiesheng did experience some kind of external force in that cave!" Gan Tiesheng said: "Maybe it's a feeling from his own heart!" (I have said many times before that none of our various assumptions can be established with certainty.) (And never in one of the many stories I have told so many assumptions can be made.) (Although I have already understood that it is meaningless to make more assumptions, but because the matter is really quite special, so, knowing that it is meaningless, I still can't help but continue to make assumptions.) (And that's what's so special about it!) At the moment we talked again, Gan Tiesheng suddenly said bitterly: "If we win that battle, history will be rewritten!" Hearing what he said, Bai Su and I both let out a long sigh at the same time.Gan Tiesheng immediately asked: "What? No?" I said: "Yes, no, the history of the past few decades has proved whether you won or lost this battle. It has no impact on history at all. At most, it only shows in very detailed history. The outcome of this battle is nothing more than the victory or defeat of this battle. The giant wheel of history advances according to its own trajectory, and is not affected by any force. Your statement is the result of self-inflated!" Junhua, who we thought had fallen asleep, suddenly said: "Mr. Wei, you are so cruel, let him fantasize about it, what's wrong?" I immediately said: "It's very simple: a person can't live in fantasy, he has to live!" Gan Tiesheng stood up in the middle of my speech, waving his hands, with an extremely excited expression, but after my conversation with Junhua, he gradually calmed down, stood still, and his voice was surprisingly flat: "Yes , Win or lose, at that time, it seemed to matter a lot, decades have passed, now, what is it?" We were silent, and after a while, he said again: "Perhaps if you win that battle, you will lose the next battle. From the perspective of the overall situation, you will lose completely in the end. Maybe you have already died on the battlefield." , maybe, I won’t be able to meet Junhua again, who would have known that things would change so much!” When he said this, he paused for a while, and then said again: "Fang Tiesheng's betrayal, in the eyes of the time, was of course a heinous crime, but now, who would pursue a trivial matter in history?" Junhua said loudly: "I will pursue it! I want to know why, not only for the outcome of that battle, but also for my personal feelings. I want to ask him why he betrayed his oath so easily!" Gan Tiesheng laughed "haha"—his laughter was not artificial at all, it was really free and easy to ignore everything: "Do you still remember the vows back then? What if he kept it all the time?" Jun Hua looked up at the sky——as soon as things touched on the strange relationship between the three of them, it was difficult for others to say anything, so Bai Su and I were silent.After a long while, Junhua sighed: "Even if it's not for gratitude, grudges, love, or love, you have to find a reason from him!" Gan Tiesheng thought for a while with his head sideways, and looked at his expression, as if he was thinking about other people's affairs: "Of course I want to see him, if I can. There are not many left of the old man!" Bai Su and I looked at each other, Bai Su made a gesture to me, praised me for my words, and completely dispelled the hatred in Gan Tiesheng's heart.I was also very happy in my heart, knowing that firstly, things had been separated for so many years, and secondly, during those many years, Gan Tiesheng practiced meditation by himself. I have understood it, but because the painful experience of that year was too profound, it was blocked at the most critical moment. And what I said was very straightforward, without obtrusiveness at all. For him, it naturally played a slap in the face and suddenly realized that he fully understood it all at once. Things, sandwiched in tens of thousands of years of history, are too small to know what they are. (The life that each person thinks is extremely important, is caught among hundreds of millions of lives, and it is so small that I don’t know what it is!) Once he understood everything, he naturally figured everything out, which is why his demeanor has undergone a major change-this is a natural change, not artificial! I walked over to him, exchanged glances with him, and everyone smiled knowingly. Under such circumstances, naturally, there was no need to say anything, as everyone knew what the other person was thinking.I just said: "Let's rest for a while, wait until dawn, and then go to the cave that I didn't look for yesterday, and see if there is any sign of 'non-my race'." Gan Tiesheng laughed loudly, and in his laughter, it proved that there was no obstacle in his heart. This moment was probably the most relaxing moment in his life. I'm actually a little envious that he can suddenly reach this realm in life!Now, he and Junhua have obviously become an obvious contrast. In Junhua's mind, he is still entangled in the joys and sorrows of life, the pain and misery, the seven emotions and six desires. Great relief! So, when I looked at Junhua, I had a sympathetic expression, but when I suddenly met Bai Su's mocking eyes again, I couldn't help being shocked, reached out and hit my head hard—I Knowing what Bai Su meant, Bai Su was laughing at me: What about you?Have all your emotions and desires been cut off?Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to laugh at people? I made a grimace to Bai Su: "Give me a few decades, and I'll be able to see everything!" Gan Tiesheng didn't seem to hear my words, looked at Junhua, smiled, and after a while, suddenly said: "Fool! Fool!" Jun Hua smiled sadly, Bai Su and I were fascinated watching it. In this state, time passed, the east turned white, Gan Tiesheng filled the bamboo knot with extremely clear water, rinsed his mouth, ate some wild fruit, and went to find the rest of the cave. Until the next afternoon, I was exhausted and found several huge caves with very hidden entrances, but there was no sign of aliens coming. I said: "It seems that aliens have influenced Fang Tiesheng's hypothesis, and there is no actual evidence to prove it." Everyone agrees with me. When we climbed down the stone flat and came to the rocky dam again, Bai Su winked at Junhua: "It looks like it was formed by an impact from an external force." I said: "A mild earthquake can also cause such a result." Gan Tiesheng suddenly laughed as if he had thought of a very interesting question: "If Xiao Fang is really an alien, do you think he will admit it?" Ever since he met him, he had always called him "Fang Tiesheng", but at this moment he suddenly changed his name to "Xiao Fang". Among them, since there is no grievance, the original title will naturally be restored. Junhua glared at him: "Is it interesting?" Gan Tiesheng clapped his hands like a child: "Naturally, it's interesting. Think about it, we've spent so long with a foreigner, and so many things have happened. Why isn't it interesting?" Junhua didn't know whether to follow her with a smile or to be annoyed, she looked very embarrassed, Gan Tiesheng patted her on the back hard, laughed loudly, her expression was so happy that it made people jealous. After climbing over the rocky dam, boarding the old jeep, and returning to the small town, unexpectedly, the local county government sent a middle-aged man to wait for Junhua at the inn. That person claimed to be the person in charge of some kind of data preservation organization. When he saw us, he asked, "Which one is Ms. Junhua, the author of the novel 'Betrayal'?" Junhua agreed, and the man handed over a large package of documents with both hands: "Ms. Jun wrote the battle written in the novel very realistically, but there are some situations that Ms. Jun obviously doesn't know. Here are some materials from that year. , I hope it will be helpful for Ms. Jun when making supplements and revisions." Junhua was surprised: "Thank you so much, I didn't expect to get such help, thank you so much!" The man said: "It is our honor to serve Chinese writers living in the West!" After the man left, Junhua eagerly opened the large package of documents to read, but Gan Tiesheng wandered away without even looking at those documents; Bai Su and I returned to our room Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and after a promise, Gan Tiesheng walked in with a big bottle of wine, smiling. At this time, he is completely different from when we first met him, he is like a master of the world! (Later, I discussed with Bai Su, Bai Su said that Gan Tiesheng was completely like the fishermen and woodcutters in the Yuan opera, who saw through the world situation, and said, "The wine glass is deep, and the old man's heart is deep. Don't refuse to drink when we meet. When Jun Ruo sings, I am slow. Pour, Qu Yuan's clear flowers are left to him, drunk and sober!" and the meaning of "the green flag is outside the fence, drunk and the ancients are at ease". This kind of artistic conception is rare in modern times.)
