Chapter 9 8. Basic necessities of life

Looking at those men and women embracing each other on a blind date, Yan Yan could easily think of the shepherd girl he met for the first time here, and he wondered: If he woos that girl, will there be any result? If there is a result, he can marry this girl as his wife and live a fairy life here. When Rock was thinking that way, he already felt that the actions of the many people he saw in front of him were a bit like the courtship actions of men and women of some tribal peoples. Most of these courtship actions were carried out on the night of the full moon, so there was a The technical term is called jumping the moon.

During the moon dance, courting men and women sang and danced to choose a partner. The situation is similar to what we see today.Now those men and women's movements are light and graceful, similar to dancing, but there is no music, which seems to be a fly in the ointment, but everything is almost silent, but it has a wonderful rhyme that silence is better than sound at this time. When Rock thinks of sweetness, he naturally smiles. Although he can't see his own smile, he can imagine that it must be no different from other people here. Not far from him, there are a few girls with wonderful walks. , and walked towards him, the girl's eyes were looking forward to it, making Rock's heartbeat speed increase tenfold!

Those girls are all extremely charming, full of the temptation of the opposite sex, Rock fully knows that as long as he keeps his gaze on one of the faces and feels that he likes the other from the heart, that girl will fall into his arms.He had seen at least a hundred such examples. At that time, Rock was not indifferent, but he immediately put away his smile, made his eyes very indifferent, and did not look at any girl. Those girls still had sweet smiles and walked past him lightly. Rock's heart was beating wildly, he took a deep breath, and told himself: That's right!No one else but that shepherdess!

He wanted to propose to the shepherdess girl and take him as his wife. When Rock's narration reached this point, he paused, with a very elusive and complicated expression on his face.When he spoke again, instead of continuing, he suddenly asked us: Is it wrong for me to make this decision? His question sounds very simple, but as long as you think about it one level deeper, you will feel that it is extremely complicated, and it is impossible to have a definite answer.The reason is naturally that we know too little about the situation in that place to judge whether he is right or wrong in thinking so.

When I heard him ask this question, I only thought of one thing: this question must be very important.His decision to marry the shepherdess, and how he acted on that decision, may have influenced many of his experiences. And how things developed later is completely unimaginable. Of course, only by listening to him can we know. After Shi Yan asked this question and got no answer, there was a period of silence. Hong Ling took the opportunity to drink with him, and Bai Su and I exchanged glances. Feel. First of all, Bai Su and I smiled knowingly, because the people in the place that the rock said used their eyes to send messages instead of words. This situation is not special to us.Under normal circumstances, Bai Su and I can communicate with each other through eyes.

Can this form of communication be regarded as direct communication of ideas? It should at least be regarded as a form of direct communication of ideas, right? We all felt that the rock's narrative took us to a place dreamland that existed only in the imagination, and even in the imagination, many details could not be like this. Because no matter how wild the imagination is, it is still based on the cognition of the imaginer.However, the situation described by the rock is completely opposite to what we know in many places, which is truly incredible and unimaginable. So I think it's very difficult for me to say that everything is a delusion of rocks.For the rock cannot think of such situations.In Rock's narration, there are some details that absolutely surpass Rock's cognition. It's not that he has had such an experience, and he can't say these things with his imagination.

Bai Su obviously reached the same conclusion as me: Rock's narrative is credible, and he has indeed been to that place. The narration of the rock is actually very straightforward, but it has a strong contagious effect. When listening to him in detail, it seems that people have entered that place. In that environment, how relaxed and happy the mood will be. This feeling, the more he listened to the rock, the stronger it became. Both Bai Su and I have a noun in our minds, which is more appropriate than Dreamland, Paradise, Fairyland and so on. Bai Su and I said in a low voice at the same time: Paradise of Paradise.

As soon as these four words were uttered, everyone responded immediately, and Shui Hong and Zhu Jin immediately repeated: Paradise of Paradise. But Tycoon and Tao Qiquan shook their heads slightly, obviously they felt that the place Yan Yan mentioned did not deserve these four words. At this time, Rock’s narration was actually just the beginning. After listening to Rock’s talk, I became more and more sure that that place was indeed called the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and the degree of bliss far exceeded what people could imagine. And Tao Qiquan, but there is a look of disapproval. Gao Xing didn't express his attitude, but Rock showed a very bitter smile, shaking his head while muttering to himself: Paradise, Paradise!Elysium

His reaction obviously indicated that he did not agree with the statement of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in his heart. But all the things that formed the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss came from his mouth. His attitude is very inexplicable, and it only shows a possibility that something very unpleasant happened to him later in that place. However, since the world is called bliss, how can unpleasant things happen? Of course, I can only listen to him continue to talk, at least with my imagination, I can't imagine it. After Rock asked this question, everyone couldn't give him an answer. The main reason is of course that everyone didn't know what happened next.

What happened later could determine whether he was right or wrong when he made up his mind to marry that girl. Because if it was just wishful thinking on his part, but the girl was ruthless, and he became unrequited love and refused to give up, that would be torture enough. Everything depends on the subsequent development of the matter, and I gestured to him for him to continue talking. Rock paused for another moment before continuing. His narration method was still very disorganized, and what was said was where. Although my current retelling has been sorted out, this situation cannot be completely avoided.Fortunately, everything the rock said is related to that place. Although there is some confusion in the timing, it is helpful to understand the situation in that place.

At that time, due to the determination made by Rock, he decided to resist the temptation that moved his heart, and tried not to look at those passionate men and women.He noticed that there were many other people who did not participate in the courtship. Some of those people gathered together in twos and threes, and some of them formed a pile. Where those people gathered, there was a lot of food. Rock felt that he had In need of food, he approached a group of people. When those people saw him approaching, they showed very little surprise, which made Rock feel that the news of his appearance had spread rapidly here, and everyone already knew that there was a strange person coming. , since you already know about such a thing, you won't be too surprised when you see him. Therefore, people who saw him showed friendly and kind expressions, far more than surprised.At this time, the rock came close, and only then took a look at the pile of things that should be food, and there was a boy and a girl holding a handful with both hands, and came to him. Rock thanked him repeatedly, he looked at everyone, and those people were also eating, and nodded to him with a smile.Those people ate what the two children brought to him. The child put the things down and walked away. The rock recognized that most of them should be various fruits. He picked up one at random, took a bite, and his mouth was full of sweetness and deliciousness. This is the first time Rock has tasted the food of this place. In the following days, he has tasted many different flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, all kinds of food, and all kinds of food with different textures. Most of the milk comes from non-animal sources, and the rest is all the fruit of plants.There are several kinds of fruit that taste like cured salmon and smoked oysters, which is incredible. Except for the fruit, it is a kind of fungus-like object taken from the ground. The rock classifies it as a fungus. The shape looks similar, but the taste is so complicated. When he mentioned it, he just shook his head and couldn't tell. Those are all his knowledge of local food in the future. There are all kinds of animals in the air, on the ground, and in the water, but no one has even thought that these animals can be used as food. Even humans and animals feed on plants, and the variety of plants, their luxuriant growth, and their fast growth speed make it unnecessary for people here to worry about lack of food. That is to say, the lack of food that causes disorder, scramble, hunger and fear does not exist here at all. The Rock gives two examples of the abundance of food.He said that the grassland he saw when he first appeared was everywhere.Every kind of grass and every kind of flower on the grassland can be eaten. If you grab a handful, you can eat it comfortably. And the tubers of every kind of flowers and plants have their own taste. After a long time, accumulated experience, even You can tell which one belongs to the taste of beef tendon and which one belongs to the taste of beef tenderloin.After eating, the plants can be seen to spread and grow rapidly. The rock had been lying under the tree, waiting for the fruit to fall, and the sun moved, and it seemed that in less than an hour, the fruit changed from yellow to red and fell near his mouth.He didn't bother to touch the one that fell farther away! Without hunger, people here do not have to work hard for the main elements of life, and of course they will not cause disputes. And a stranger phenomenon was discovered on the first day of the rock: there is no fire in this place. Originally, a large-scale courtship event like the moon jumping was held at night. Although the moonlight was bright, there should be fires everywhere to increase the lively and joyful atmosphere. But there is no fire, no fire anywhere. Many people gather together to eat without going through the process of burning or boiling, because there is no fire. There is no fire, and of course there is no lamp. At night, except for the three days of jumping the moon, we rest when it is dark. It didn't take long for the rocks to learn the language of the natives.Since the main way for the locals to communicate with each other is not language, their language is also very simple, with a small vocabulary and can be learned quickly. After the rock discovered that there was no fire in the local area, he had great ambitions. He intended to become a Prometheus who brought fire to the world, and became a god in the hearts of the local people. He first tried to tell everyone what fire is, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make anyone understand that there is no fire in this place. How can he make people understand the existence of fire? Rock was not discouraged, he tried to gather hundreds of people, and it was extremely difficult to do this in that place, because everyone was born to move freely, and he never listened to others' advice, and no one ever gave advice to others action. From this we can see how difficult it is for the rock to gather many people together to listen to him alone. The rocks were almost pulled one by one, and all the people pulled by him looked puzzled, not knowing what happened. When Shi Yan talked about this paragraph, I can imagine that everyone in that place respects the individual, and there has never been a gene for collective action in life. It is an unprecedented strange thing for them to suddenly ask them to gather together. If it weren't for the fact that they all have a very gentlemanly character and know how to accommodate others, it would be impossible for the rock to bring them together. And this situation fascinates me. In our place, people's life activities are ordered by the gene of collective action. Under the activity of this gene, people are used to many people obeying one person.And no matter how absurd this person's words and deeds are, many people will respect him as a leader, and only know how to obey the leader, and completely lose themselves.Leaders can be big or small, and the reason why there are such things as leaders is because there is no gene in human life that recognizes that individuals are independent individuals. But the people there are completely different. To be sure, that place is free from all the evils of the world, and this is also the main factor. After Rock gathered several hundred people, he began to introduce fire to them. At that time, Rock's clothes had already been changed into that kind of transparent robes, and he found that the clothes he was wearing were completely unnecessary here, and the temperature here was maintained at the most suitable state for human beings. Clothes to keep warm.That's why most people are naked at all. Rock is not used to being completely naked, so he wears this kind of robe, and this kind of robe is everywhere, you can wear it if you like it, take it off if you don’t like it, and put it anywhere, so that those who like to wear it can take it at any time to wear. (The above passage may sound a little redundant, but it best explains the situation of all materials in that place: the incomparably rich and various materials needed for life are everywhere and available to everyone.) (This situation is of course also a major factor in the formation of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.) Rock's original clothes, and some of the equipment necessary for his expedition, are still there.Some people saw these things, at most they just expressed their surprise, and not many people were even interested in touching them.The people here seem to have no curiosity at all, and they don't seem to have any thirst for knowledge at all. They don't want to know anything they don't understand or have never seen before. Yet Rock decided to introduce fire to them. A small part of Rock's psychology at the time was that the people here didn't even know about fire, which was really pitiful.Mostly because he wanted to establish his extraordinary status after he brought the fire to the people here. The rock did not hide his thoughts at the time. Bai Su and I looked at each other when we heard this, and felt an inexplicable disgust in our hearts. At the same time, we thought that the rock would cause great damage in that place. He will bring the hideousness of the world to that place, and spread it like a plague, so that all the peace and joy of that place will be wiped out. This is the most typical man-made tragedy in the world: when people are living a good life, there will always be some people who volunteer to change their lives and use various beautiful terms to achieve the goal of establishing themselves as gods.On the surface it was for the good of others, but actually it was for his own sake.When this kind of behavior develops to the apex, it can become the degree to which he serves you, and you have no choice but to refuse his service.He can even use massacres as a means to consolidate his service. Serving the people written by Huang Huang at the door of his service is that kind of thing. The rock is going to do the same kind of ugly deeds. He tries to pollute the pure environment there with the ugly deeds of the human world, just like trying to pour a bucket of poisoned water into a well. It is really abominable! At that time, Bai Su was fine, but I couldn't help but glared at the rock. Rock noticed my reaction, he gave me a wry smile, and said: I didn't succeed, because of two factors, I didn't succeed. The first factor that Rock said was that he couldn't make fire anyway.If he wanted to introduce fire to others, of course he had to show them the fire before they would understand. But his lighter couldn't fire, not even a spark; his waterproof matches couldn't be struck; his magnifying glass focused in the sun, but the focus couldn't ignite for a long time. Those people were actually very patient, watching him perform one by one, although the temperature was very suitable, the rock was sweating profusely, and he was very embarrassed. As a result, the people he gathered dispersed almost at the same time. During this operation, Yan Yan gained a new understanding of the behavior of the local people. He thought that everyone knew that he was trying to do something but failed, but no one came to comfort his failure.People here don't have such things as success or failure conceptually.They never pursue success, and of course they don't care about failure. To them, the performance of the rock is nothing more than an inexplicable person doing some inexplicable things, and they have absolutely no interest in investigating what is going on. And the reason why the rock could not produce fire afterward research was because of the composition of the air in that place.Fire needs oxygen to happen. If there is no oxygen in the air, of course there can be no fire. When Yan Yan stated his analysis result very seriously, everyone who heard it almost cheered. Of course, if there is no oxygen in the air, there will be no fire.But of course there should be oxygen in the air in that place, otherwise, even if those blue-skinned locals don’t need oxygen, the rocks definitely need it. Without oxygen, he would have suffocated to death long ago. Rock smiles bitterly: I don't know the exact reason, maybe the oxygen in the air in that place can only be used for breathing and cannot produce fire, maybe the composition is different.In such a strange place, all kinds of strange things will happen. Everyone didn’t say anything more. At that time, no one paid attention to this point, and they didn’t agree with what the rock said, because the air is the air, and if it wasn’t on another planet, it shouldn’t be different. On the earth, the air composition is certainly different, but there are also differences. There will be no fundamental difference in nature.And according to the rock's narrative, he doesn't seem to have arrived on an alien planet, he should still be on the earth. And the second reason Rock said that he failed to spread the human world there is: he found that the people in that place did not have the requirement to pursue new knowledge at all.Rock felt that the life of the people in that place was close to primitive people, and he felt that he did not know how much knowledge could be imparted to everyone. He imagined that a modern person has returned to a society close to primitive people, and with the modern knowledge he possesses, it is almost possible to become a superman and become an idol worshiped by everyone! If modern people really appeared in primitive society, they would certainly have such an advantage.Because human beings have the pursuit of new knowledge, the desire to seek knowledge, and many other desires, which must be satisfied by new knowledge. But in that place, there is no desire for knowledge at all, no other desires, and new knowledge is of no use to them.Rock tried to show that he knew a lot more than they did and could pass on what he knew to them. But it turned out to be a common saying: it is useless to show the blind man a charming eye. So fortunately, all the bad habits of the world on the rock did not pollute the purity of that place. Later, I discussed with Bai Su and felt that there is a saying, although it is rated as unscientific, but it has some truth. This sentence is: things must first rot, and then insects will grow. If you are like the people in that place, no matter how eloquent you say, you will not be moved at all, and those who are demagogues will certainly not be able to use their skills. There will be no market for any doctrine or doctrine. The rocks also observed many strange phenomena in that place from the possible difference in air composition in that place. He found that there were no old people in that place. After people matured to a certain level, they would no longer have significant changes in appearance until they died. He found that there were no germs that could harm the body, no diseases.Cuts (very rarely), bleeds (bright red), but never inflamed. He found that the wind and rain in that place were all gentle and drizzle, and after the rain, the flowers, plants and trees were especially beautiful. When he first saw the houses where the people lived in that place, he didn't think it was a house at all, but just a kind of arbor.And it was not erected, but a bamboo-like plant planted. The branches are very smooth. If they are planted together in rows, they will grow into a wall. After the three walls are formed, the branches will grow upwards. Naturally intertwined with lush foliage for a natural top. This kind of building is everywhere, without doors and windows, only three sides, just like the case of robes, anyone who likes to live in it can live there, as long as they see the sky there, they can regard it as their own, and people carry out activities in such a room Anyone who is interested in any activities, of course, can see clearly.However, the rock found that except for the first time, he would take a few glances, the rest of the people had no interest in what other people were doing. Not long after that, the rock also discovered that those animals as tall as horses were very tame and had a wide back, with natural recesses for people to sit on. It was very comfortable to ride on like this, and they ran steadily and smoothly. quick. At this time, the rock is completely sure that there is no concept of private ownership here, or the concept of private ownership here is very special. Let’s take the robe as an example. When the robe is worn on A’s body, of course it belongs to A. Anyone can take it from A.However, A does not regard the robe on his body as his personal possession. He can give it up at any time. Give up again, or you can get new ones anytime, anywhere. Everything else follows this example without exception. In this situation, some people have had similar ideals in the human world, but the facts have proved that such a situation will never occur in the human world. For this to happen, two conditions must be met: First, the important person has no appetite.This is impossible. Appetite is the fundamental desire of human beings. It is deeply rooted in the genes of human life and determines the form of human life. Second, there must be extremely abundant supplies that can be fully used by people.This is even more impossible, not to mention that the population on the earth is close to exploding. Even in the age of primitive people, there was not enough distribution of supplies, so it is human nature to scramble.If there is a sufficient supply of materials, it is difficult for people to form a competitive nature. It is very exciting to see such a situation in that place.However, not everyone thinks the same as me. The tycoon and Tao Qiquan frowned, obviously thinking in their hearts: The way of life in that place is really too boring, too boring, and life has no meaning. Insects have no distinction, they just live, and that kind of life is extremely terrifying. I didn't wrong them, the tycoon couldn't help shaking his head first, and said: How long have you lived in this kind of place? Rock's status is similar to that of the tycoon and Tao Qiquan, and they all belong to the rich and wealthy class in the world, but Rock's personality is obviously different (otherwise he would not let his luxurious life go, and go exploring in the wilderness), so his answer is: that The days there are so peaceful and comfortable that it is impossible to count them.I didn't know I had been missing for nearly two years until after I left. By saying this, the rock means that he has lived in that place for two years. And a question immediately arose in my mind: Rock is so satisfied with life in that place, why did he leave? Before I could open my mouth, the tycoon raised this question, but he asked it very maliciously and full of sarcasm. He said: Why did you only live for two years? You should die in the paradise in your mind. I still want to come here I want to go, I think life in hell is much more interesting than heaven, haha!Ha ha! Rock looked at the tycoon for a while, but did not answer directly. I was rather disapproving of the tycoon's attitude, so I snorted and said: Listen to him continue. The tycoon did not hide his impatience, and said in a loud voice: Please make a long story short. There is no need to introduce the basic necessities of life in that place in detail. No one will be interested in the kind of life in that place. It may be interesting to listen to it. People in that place, why don't they serve life sentences in the human world.The prison is also a place where there is absolutely no shortage of living supplies! Bai Su and I glanced at each other, we both shook our heads naturally, feeling that the difference in cognition between people can really be one heaven and one earth.We thought that place could be called Paradise, but Tycoon and Tao Qiquan had completely opposite perceptions. After the tycoon said this, he looked like he was challenging us, but I had no intention of arguing with him.
