Although Shui Hong made a funny face at me for fear that the world would not be chaotic, but I was not provoked by her, and instead agreed with what the tycoon said, saying: Yes, please make a long story short, what happened afterwards? Rock took a breath and closed his eyes for a moment. He described the life in that place in such detail, of course it was because he missed that place very much.And since he disappeared, he lived in that place for two years and then left, so it has been more than twenty years since he left. It seems that the years can't reduce his nostalgia for that place, and from the moment he was happy, he complained that he had been looking, looking, looking. It can be seen that after he left, he always wanted to go back to that place, but although he kept looking, But the place was not found.

I'm afraid that since she was happy and sensible, she saw Yan Yan trying to find that place, and also saw Yan Yan's pain because she couldn't find that place, so she was deeply impressed, and this expressed her dissatisfaction.And her dissatisfaction is based on her concern for rocks.That's for sure. I can also be sure that the rock summoned us through the tycoon this time, and told us his experience, in order to seek our help so that he can go back to that place. Thinking of this, I shook my head involuntarily, feeling that the matter was so illusory to the extreme, I really couldn't think of how to help him.

It's not that we don't believe his narrative. In fact, when he said that he saw the shepherd girl's hair and skin were blue, Bai Su and I were already heartbroken and we thought of blue people at the same time. The people in that place are undoubtedly the blue race. Although the ethnologist thinks that there is no blue race, Bai Su and I both know that the situation of blue race is that they should appear on the earth but they didn't. In the story of "The Game", it is mentioned that seven kinds of aliens have transformed the earth's environment, causing advanced creatures to appear on the earth. Among the human races, there are blue races. I am still in the stereoscopic projection left by the aliens. I have seen the blue people who should appear on the earth in the plan.

In the story "Switching Off", the elder trapped in the mountainside was one of the seven kinds of aliens back then. After he knew the situation of the human race on Earth today, he wondered why there was no blue race. The plan of the seven kinds of aliens to transform the earth may be very good, but the actual actions are very rough, and it can even be said to have failed.They divided the earth's surface into several messy pieces, the elders were trapped for some reason, the blue people did not appear, and the behavior of human beings is obviously far from the standard of behavior of advanced creatures, etc., all of which indicate that the action was unsuccessful .

However, the rock has come to a place, a place where the blue people live together, but the behavior of the blue people in that place is very high-level creature style, what is going on? Could it be that the blue people have appeared on the earth long ago, but because they live in a very hidden place, they have not been discovered? Although this possibility is extremely small, it is the only possibility. I am very interested in the experience that the rock said, and this is the main reason. This time the rock stopped for a long time before continuing. He really said it much simpler, but when I retell it, I still have to greatly simplify it.

In terms of basic necessities of life, Yan Yan made new discoveries every day in the first few days, but he had a very clear understanding of the local people's attitudes and ideas about life, which made him very fond of this place. It is mainly the attitude and concept of this kind of life.In the world, he is rich and rich, and the abundance of material needed for life is nothing to him. However, when he found that the people in that place treated the relationship between men and women completely the same as they treated everything else, he was still taken aback, it was very difficult to accept, and he didn't want to accept it at all.

He discovered this situation on the eve of the second full moon after he came, which was the first day of three consecutive days of jumping on the moon to court. Rock has no intention of courtship, but he likes the atmosphere so much that he becomes a part of it. And during that month, Yan rode around on horseback, traveled to many places, and saw many people. In four directions, at the end of each direction, there were extremely high mountains with towering cliffs, making it difficult for birds to cross. Using the language he learned, he asked the locals if they knew what was going on outside the mountain, and all the people he asked looked blank, obviously they had never thought of this question.Based on his experience as an explorer, Rock thought that this place might be a very hidden basin surrounded by high mountains.

He estimated that the basin is close to 100 kilometers in length and width, and the number of people living here is about 5,000 to 8,000 people seen in the rocks. What Rock thought at the time was: Such a ratio of land to population is of course very affluent.Of course, the purpose of his walking around the basin is to see the shepherdess again.At first he thought it was an easy task, but after a month, he had seen thousands of beautiful girls, but there was no one he saw as soon as he appeared here. The more he couldn't find it, the more he missed the girl in his heart. Yan Yan was not someone who had never seen the world, but at this moment, he was like a lovesick fool, his heart was empty and he had nowhere to go. .

His state of mind is not difficult to understand.He is in a completely strange place, although he feels very safe in this place and he likes this place very much, but while everyone in this place treats him politely, they are not very close or kind, always seeming a little The estrangement made him feel a sense of alienation psychologically. This sense of alienation from the whole environment made him feel an indescribable loneliness deep in his heart, which made him eagerly hope to get a real, loving partner with him. And he pinned this hope on the shepherdess. Rock is very subjective, and he has no doubts that as long as he sees that girl again and woos that girl, he will be successful.

The reason why the rock thinks this way is because of two cognitive confusions.First, he mistook this place for the human world. In the human world, he is a well-known rich man and a talented person. He has excellent conditions in terms of marriage. Of course, there is no such thing as courtship failure.Second, when he and the girl met for the first time, the girl was naked in front of him, presenting the girl's crystal clear body in front of his eyes, and the skin was close to each other, and there was very intimate contact, which made him feel that the girl was I have an extremely good impression of him, and of course as long as he gives a little hint, it will be a matter of course.

This is the idea of ​​a rock. In his search for the shepherdess, he found it extremely difficult to find someone here. Because the people here have no names, no fixed addresses, and no certain people who can be contacted. There is no second way to find a specific person except to identify them one by one. Rock had the opportunity to see the same girl many times, but he couldn't see the girl.Rock also considered that the girl might not be single.This question had seriously troubled him: what should he do if the girl is married? At a time when he was terribly troubled by the problem, his new discovery made him laugh out loud with great relief, because the problem didn't exist. His new discovery is here, the relationship between men and women, there is no such thing as marriage at all, without any agreement, without any constraints. He knew this, first of all, on the night of the second full moon, he participated in the moon jumping rally with the largest number of people, and saw the man and woman who came to help him when he fell down the high slope for the first time. The man and woman came very affectionately, and they were also very cordial when they met Yan Yan. Yan Yan thought that they had undoubtedly become a loving couple.But as soon as the moon jumping courtship started, Yan Yan was dumbfounded. I saw that in a very short period of time, the man found a new partner, and the girl had already embraced another person. Later, the rock tried to understand the relationship between men and women here, and found that they did thoroughly implement the principle of unity if they meet, and separation if they don't agree.And what is more thorough is to get along or not to get along. There is no need for both parties' opinions. When a man or a woman is in a relationship, of course it is the man who is in love with the concubine. However, as long as one party feels that he does not want to be with the other party anymore, he can break up. The other party will never beg the other party to stay, will not drag the water and refuse to let go, will not question the other party why, and of course it will not turn into violence, but will naturally separate and form new loves. Here, there is no institution of marriage, so there is no such status as husband or wife. When Yan Yan discovered this situation, he worried that the shepherdess was married, which of course was superfluous. He was in an extremely relaxed and happy mood, so during that party, when a girl smiled sweetly and her soft body leaned towards him, he immediately hugged that girl tightly in his arms. The rock narrated here and stopped again. Both Bai Su and I frowned, because we found that there were some things we hadn't expected in advance when he described the scene of that place. Rock stretched out his hand to his face and wiped it heavily a few times before continuing.One advantage of his narration is that even if his behavior is not in line with moral standards and will be criticized by others, he will say it directly without avoiding it, which is why we all believe what he said is the truth. Rock said that in the subsequent moon jumping parties, he changed his partner almost every time, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, because that's how the place was. However, when the women around him kept changing, he soon discovered that here, like no fire at all, there is no love, no love between men and women. There is no love that has been praised since ancient times. The men and women here seem to be extremely intimate when they get together, but there is no love, and the separation seems extremely natural, because there is no love in the first place. This discovery of Rock, which is the reason why Bai Su and I frowned just now, is really hard to accept the fact that there is no love in such a good place. Is it better to have love, or not to have love? In the world, does love bring trouble or happiness to people? There, there will be no troubles brought by love, is there no joy brought by love? Judging from Yan Yan's narration, it is obviously not the case. The men and women in that place are very happy and have no troubles! So is it not better to have no love than to have love? Although the conclusion should be so, but in our place, love has always been praised as a great feeling. I have had many experiences dealing with aliens. In some aliens, there is no such feeling as love, and when those aliens come into contact with After arriving at the love between men and women on Earth, they all lamented the greatness and magnificence of this kind of relationship, thinking that it is an excellent relationship of Earth people. It is very difficult for us to accept the idea that no love is better than love.Even after thinking about it very calmly, it is true that such a conclusion can be drawn, but it is still unacceptable. Rock kept changing partners of the opposite sex in that place, of course because he had no love for those opposite sex at all.Since he is free from any practical and emotional responsibility, he is not a moralist who sits in his arms, and there is nothing wrong with him. However, what about his longing for the shepherdess? When he paused for a while, I said in a deep voice: That shepherd girl, you also started to treat her as Before I finished speaking, the rock suddenly became very excited and said loudly: "Of course not, she is the object of my love. As soon as I see her, I will express my love to her. I want to marry her as my wife and stay together forever. Unswerving until death! What he said was firm and affirmative, so that no one had to doubt his sincerity.However, I have seen the tragedy happen! And it can be predicted that it will not be an ordinary tragedy, but will be very heroic.Rock's attempt is to show love to the opposite sex he loves in a place where there is no love at all. There is no problem with him showing love to others. The problem is that he must ask others to love him, but they don't know what love is at all! This situation is very special, and it is not easy to illustrate it with an example.In the human world, it is similar that after thousands of years of totalitarian rule, some ethnic groups have formed a national character under totalitarian rule. People who know what human rights are, live happily and happily under totalitarian rule, and all the efforts of the few are bound to be doomed to be a tragedy. It is the same tragedy to talk about love with people who have no concept of love, and to talk about human rights with people who have no concept of human rights. I thought of this, shook my head secretly, Yan Yan drank a lot of wine, and then heaved a long sigh. He was there, looking for the lover in his mind, participating in moon jump courtship activities again and again, even going to several places in one night, when he was disappointed again and again, he was almost desperate! That was after he arrived here, more than two years after a full moon night, and the place was on the high slope when he first arrived, and below was the open space between the rivers. He looked down through the binoculars. In the past two years or so, he has almost completely gotten used to the local life. He also feels that when the temperature is suitable, being naked is much more comfortable than wearing clothes, except for the robes. . The robe was woven from the silk of a caterpillar that was thirty centimeters long. When the rock first saw it, it thought it was a fat snake.The rock has witnessed the passage of the caterpillar spinning silk and weaving long robes.The sun moved less than 20 degrees, and dozens of large caterpillars wove a large silk-like material between two trees. After a little processing, it was a robe like that. And in the forest where the big caterpillars live, large and large pieces of silk hang from tree to tree, shining brightly under the morning sun and sunset, which is a spectacle. Rock usually likes to wear such robes, and he also wore them at that time.And when he came, he kept the equipment around him, and other things were useless, but the telescope was the tool he used to find the shepherdess.From the telescope that can shorten the distance by twenty times, you can see a lot of people. Rock is very confident that he will be able to find the girl. He has such a tool, which is also one of the main reasons. And on this telescope, he is very sure that the people here have no curiosity at all.Without curiosity, there is no thirst for knowledge. Not only do they not want to seek new knowledge, even if new knowledge comes to their door, they have no willingness to accept it. This nature determines that they have no desires or desires. They are absolutely satisfied with everything they have and have no intention of changing. No matter how beneficial this change is to them in the eyes of outsiders, they are indifferent. Rock failed to introduce fire to them. At first he thought it was because he couldn't make fire to show the locals, but later he was sure that even if he made fire, people still wouldn't be interested. This point, from the fact that he has shown the binoculars to thousands of people over the past two years, at least thousands of people, old and young, men and women, but in the end everyone's reaction was the same, without exception. Ordinarily speaking, the telescope here is definitely an extremely novel item. As long as you have a little curiosity, you should be very interested in seeing everything that is far away from the telescope suddenly coming to you. However, after everyone saw it, the biggest reaction was to raise their light blue eyebrows slightly, and immediately returned the binoculars to the rock, not even wanting to take a second look, even children, which convinced the rock deeply That is their nature. Counting, the shepherdess girl was the most exceptional among them. Rock remembered that she had some curious expressions and touched the goggles that Rock had put on her head at that time.This action of the shepherdess made Rock very confident that she was somewhat different from others, and he was very confident that she would become his wife. At the time, it seemed like a completely meaningless little action, which gave Rock the belief that the girl was different, that the girl could accept new things, understand love, understand what marriage is, what husband and wife are. What happened later, like the beginning of the Yangtze River, all started from that extremely small point. In the end, I realized that everything was just a misunderstanding, but what should have happened has already happened. The rock stood on a high slope and looked down with a telescope. The river was shining with silver light. On the river beach, many men and women were playing in the shallow water. The water splashed around them, and joyous laughter kept coming. However, the beautiful scenery of the current day makes Yan Yan feel extraordinarily lonely. He cannot find the girl, and he cannot blend into the joyful atmosphere. Moreover, the feeling of abnormal loss is getting worse and worse, as if countless sharp needles are pricking him. His heart is the same. Just as he looked over one by one, hope was getting less and less in his heart, and the pain was getting stronger and stronger, he saw the shepherdess! That's her! There is no doubt that it is her! Rock can recognize her at a glance among eleven million girls. So when he finally saw the shepherdess girl, one can imagine the joy in his heart. Because the rock was so impressed with the shepherdess girl, he recognized her among the many beautiful girls at a glance. As soon as he saw her, everything else in Shi Yan's line of sight ceased to exist. Yan Yan was so sure that not only did he stop breathing, but even his heartbeat stopped.The whole person is like a stone statue. Because there was a very short pause, Rock could see that girl was dancing with several other girls, and a group of boys were dancing around them.This is a typical courtship action. All this pause will not be too long, probably less than a second, and the rock will scream and rush down the high slope. Just like the first time he went down this high slope, he slipped and fell within a few steps.However, this time he only felt that the speed of the slide was not fast enough, so he kept making noises.People in that place are used to being quiet, so the loud cries of the rocks are very noticeable. However, although he attracted many people's eyes, since almost everyone had seen him before, they only glanced at him briefly. The rocks are rolling and slippery.After going down the high slope, he was afraid that the girl would leave suddenly, just like last time, so he called: Don't go!don't go! He didn't know the girl's name (people here seem to have no names at all, indeed, in such an environment, what's the use of people asking for names?), so he called again: Everyone, don't go away! When he descended the high slope and jumped up, thank God, he saw that the girl was no more than thirty meters away from him. At this time, almost everyone looked at him, but no one stopped what they were doing.The rock continued to yell, and rushed to the girl, who, like everyone else, was looking at the rock, and obviously she recognized the rock, so she gave a faint smile. In the view of the rock, that smile is simply the most beautiful and moving scene between heaven and earth.But apart from that smile, like everyone else, she didn't stop moving. At that time, there were three men dancing beside her, and the girl turned around after turning her head slightly, and had already thrown herself at one of them. man's arms. All this was clearly seen by the rushing rock.And such a scene is no stranger to rocks.In the act of courtship, it often happens that more than one male expresses interest to a female, or more than one female expresses interest to a male. In such cases, the decision rests with a man or a woman, whoever she or he decides to choose is that.Others who expressed interest would immediately leave with a smile, and there was absolutely no possibility of any disputes. In the past two years, Rock has encountered many such situations. Sometimes the girl chose him, and the others left immediately with a smile; sometimes the girl did not choose him, and he, like the local men, immediately went to other The girl gestured. Everything went naturally, and since there was no love at all between him and those girls, he could definitely be like the locals. But the situation is different now, the shepherdess is the lover in his mind, he doesn't even have to think about it, he can't let his lover fall into the arms of others, this is the environment that he has lived in for a long time since he was born. The concept of discussion, at that moment, he completely forgot that the concept here is completely different. As soon as he saw the love object he had been thinking about day and night, throwing himself into the arms of others with an extremely graceful posture, in an instant, it was as if a huge force struck him hard in the back. He didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly let out an earth-shattering cry, jumped up, and rushed forward, just in time before the man hugged the girl, and got close, he opened his hands, All of a sudden, he hugged the girl's calves tightly. Rock's actions are very abrupt even in the human world, but in that place, it is definitely an unprecedented spectacle since ancient times, and no one knows the meaning of his extremely strange actions. The first one who reacted at a loss was the man who had already hugged the girl. He didn't know what happened, let alone how to deal with it. He just stopped moving and looked puzzled. Next was the girl, whose calf was hugged by the rock, she looked down at the rock, the rock on the ground raised her head, and faced her, the rock shouted angrily: Marry me!Don't bother with anyone, be my wife!I love you, that is a love that will never change, it is definitely not a game of being together for a few days and then being separated! It was not easy for Yan Yan to say these words in one breath under the urgent situation at that time. It was the result of thinking about these words in his heart countless times.He expected that these words would move the girl's heart, and she would undoubtedly choose him, a man who promised to love her forever, instead of a man who only pursued a short-term union between a man and a woman. After he said these words, he was full of confidence, stood up, opened his arms, and welcomed the girl into his arms. When Yan Yan described in detail that he finally saw the shepherd girl and started courting her, Bai Su and I couldn't help sighing together, and I couldn't help but shake my head. Rock stopped, with an extremely bitter expression on his face, and said: What did you expect to happen? Bai Su, I, the others, and even Hong Ling nodded repeatedly. Yan Yan was extremely frustrated, and said to himself: I was too impatient at that time?Shouldn't I be doing it that way? Judging from his appearance, this kind of self-pity has been felt for more than ten years, probably at least three times a day.
