Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Vest Appears Again

One day when I got off work, I received a phone call. I had just fed him when he said, "Brother Snake, it's me, Xiao Wu." "Which Xiao Wu? Is there something wrong?" I have many contacts at work, and I didn't realize who it was for a while. "Vest." "Ha! You finally contacted me again." I said in surprise, "Did you see my post on the forum?" "I see." "Do you have any opinions, or is there anything to avoid?" I asked hastily.I've been through that, and I've written some of the posts in the past where some of the real people involved expressed displeasure at me using their backgrounds, and I care about that.Although Majia said at the beginning that he had no objection to me writing about his father's experience, but I was still worried that he would think it inappropriate when the post was written to this extent.

"No." Said the vest, "Are you free tomorrow? Let's meet." "Have you arrived in Shaanxi?" I asked. "Yes, I'm passing by." I thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll leave work early tomorrow." "Could it be tomorrow morning." Said the vest, "I'm going to Xi'an to catch the train in the afternoon." "okay then." Then, we made an appointment to meet in a county town closest to my work. The next morning, I didn't ask for leave, and hurried to a nearby county town.When I arrived at the appointed place, the city emblem of the county - under a sculpture of a phoenix, the vest was already standing there waiting for me.

It's not the first time Majia and I have met, and we both know what we're going to say next, so we're not polite.We shook hands, and I handed him a cigarette, and we both smoked. "You really don't care if I write your father's story?" I knew he was in a hurry, so I didn't say any unnecessary polite words. "I read the post." Waist said with a smile, "It's just a story, who can really take it seriously." The two were silent for a while. I still asked the question I had been wondering in my heart: "Is it true what was written in your father's notebook?"

"what do you say?" "I have no idea." "You have been investigating your father's affairs during this time." I asked, "Have you gained anything?" "I just came from a place in Qinghai," said the vest. I know where the vest goes, it must have something to do with somewhere in the documentation. "Still haven't found any clues about your father." I said, "Have you?" "It's worse than this." The vest said, "The more I investigate, the more I question one thing." "whats the matter?"

"Did my father really exist in this world?" I'm speechless. The vest went on to say: "All the backgrounds and files I investigated back then pointed in one direction. There is no such person as Wu XX in this world. If I didn't really exist in this world, I would start to doubt it." "You are real." I smiled and punched him on the shoulder with my fist, "I can prove it." "If one day I disappear." The vest was not infected by my joke, but said with a serious face, "You probably won't be able to prove that I ever existed, just like I can't prove that my father existed."

At this moment, I even thought that I was being fooled by the vest. The whole document was not about his father's experience at all, it was all fabricated by him, and he just wanted to use my hand to post it on the forum.But what does it mean to him? "Do you think I'm lying to you?" The vest saw my thoughts. "Of course not." I instinctively denied. "Yes, this matter is just a story to you. You don't need to pursue the truth of the matter at all." The vest said, "From the bottom of your heart, you don't take these things seriously."

Vest is right, I am indeed in this position, the huge secrets in the document are too far away for me, even if it is true, how much does it have to do with me?When the sky fell, there was a tall man to hold it up. I was just a commoner, and I was thinking about daily necessities all day long. How could I worry about such an important event. But the vest is different. His father disappeared because of this incident. I wanted to show my understanding of the vest, but I thought it was ridiculous, so I could only keep silent. "What do you understand about the statement in my father's notes about the earth's resource depletion?" Vest changed the subject.

"The earth's resources will be exhausted sooner or later, and it will be very fast." I said relaxedly, "This is common sense, but this is not something I should worry about." "Actually, pay more attention. The big events that happened in those years may change your mind." The vest said, "The document left by my father is not wrong. It is a war, it is really a war." "These days, there are many wars in the world." "Don't change the concept secretly." The vest said excitedly, "You know what I mean, you can deduce my father's experience without too much deviation in psychology and background, at least it proves that you are real. You can analyze the background of these undercurrents. You are just instinctively avoiding the truth."

For the next three hours, the vest kept telling me about the various connections between the real events on the earth and the operations in the different seas, as well as some covered things he found out based on clues, and then made an analysis-I became An audience member of the waistcoat.Regardless of my attitude towards this information, the things that vest said are still very interesting. It was noon soon. "I'm leaving." The vest looked at the watch, and I was stunned. It was a pocket watch! There are still a few people in this era who will use this kind of antique pocket watch!

"The documentation never says pocket watches have the function of telling time!" I said. The waistcoat laughed and handed me the pocket watch. I saw that it was just an ordinary pocket watch, the case was made of white metal, the scale on the dial was Roman letters, and there was a brand logo, a few letters, I don't know what brand it is.The pocket watch is very old, very old, and the glass of the case has turned yellow.This pocket watch is not the pocket watch repeatedly mentioned in the document, the two are completely different. The vest put away the pocket watch and said to me, "I came to see you for one purpose."

"Your purpose is... in case you really disappear one day, at least someone knows that you used to exist." I replied. "If you finish writing this post." Vest continued. "There are more people who know," I said. Vest said goodbye to me and left. I also went back to work on the construction site.I was absent from work for half a day, but luckily the leader didn't ask me too much.In the afternoon, while I was working, I suddenly realized something. The waistcoat was suggesting to me that there was a good chance that he had disappeared like his father and would be wiped of his identity. When Majia was investigating his father's identity, he may have been deeply involved in the hidden war he said. I can't describe how I feel right now, it's a very strange feeling.On the one hand, I really don't believe that such an important matter will have any connection with me--the waistcoat is right, I just regard the incident about Operation Yihai as a story from the bottom of my heart; on the other hand, the waistcoat is so firm The attitude, and the evidence he said, were too real and reasonable to sound like a paranoid rambling. I can only speculate maliciously that his father is a sailor who likes to make up stories. In order to cover up his guilt for evading family responsibilities, he made up such a story to comfort his son. Or Vest's father had really come into contact with some secret files, and deliberately described the person who performed the task as himself, so that he could gain a little illusory sense of satisfaction. I thought about many possibilities, but in the end I found helplessly that the possibility that the vest insisted on was the most logical one, but it was also the one I couldn't accept rationally. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know how to write this post. This emotion has troubled me for a long time.After ten days, I decided to continue writing the post. Since I want to finish writing, I will follow the statement of the vest and give this post an explanation.
