Chapter 110 Lonely? No, it's too high.
It is a pity that crocodiles cannot be eaten.
But it's not that disappointing.
After all, there are snakes that can be eaten as spicy strips.
There are more than 3,000 kinds of snakes, waiting for Chen Yun to taste them one by one.
Next, we had a pretty good lunch for a while.
Chen Yun and Shi Jie talked about interesting things that happened in college until past one o'clock in the afternoon while eating.
Mainly Shi Jie was eating.
After Chen Yun ate some snake meat in silence, he mainly chatted.
When he was in college, he and his roommates didn't necessarily have much to talk about. But now that we have been separated for a long time, we feel a lot closer.
Talking about the past, those are good memories.
Especially after having the Memory Palace, Chen Yun, who remembered every detail in his memory extremely clearly, had a lot of feelings.
until half past one in the afternoon.
After drinking and eating, the two gentlemen had nowhere else to go, so they went to the nearby Canal Museum out of boredom.
After all, they don't like to go to places like KTV or bars, and they don't want to get together once in a while but still choose to hang out in an Internet cafe.
So, the nearby Canal Museum became an option.
Let’s forget about why we went to the Canal Museum.
In fact, there is something interesting here. As a landmark building that Guangling City has invested heavily in development, it is unexpectedly interesting.
This is a local modern comprehensive museum that integrates cultural relic protection, scientific research and exhibition, and leisure experience. It contains more than 10,000 sets of various cultural relics and exhibits from the Spring and Autumn Period to contemporary times that reflect the theme of the canal, including ancient books, paintings, calligraphy, inscriptions, ceramics, metalware, and miscellaneous items.
After wandering around for an afternoon, they only visited half of the museum, but they didn't finish it completely.
In this canal museum, it was not a coincidence that I met Shiraishi and others.
Most of the cultural relics here are worthless items such as ship fragments and river bedrocks. Compared to going here, Shiraishi chose to take the two girls to Slender West Lake for a stroll.
While visiting the museum, an episode happened.
Chen Yun received a call from the police.
The main purpose of this call was to find out what happened on the ferry, and then to ask him not to spread the word to anyone else.
After turning off the phone, Chen Yun asked Baishi and the others. Sure enough, they also received the call, and he was not the only one who received the call.
Obviously there is nothing to worry about on the ferry.
The officials are probably trying their best to suppress the heat and prevent this matter from spreading all over the Internet.
After that, there were no more episodes.
Near six o'clock in the evening, the two called Lao Wu at the entrance of the museum.
"Hello? Are you off work? Come out for dinner?"
"Brother Yun will take a flight back to Shucheng tomorrow."
Shi Jie smiled and invited.
The person on the other side of the phone was Lao Wu, another college classmate who was not free at noon because he had to go to work.
It didn't take long.
A few people met at a barbecue restaurant.
Old Wu's name is Wu Xiang'ao, and he is a guy who is a little wider than ordinary people.
After graduation, his parents insisted that he take the public exam. Unfortunately, he studied for a year at home and failed to pass the exam. In the end, he had to find connections at home to get a job in a bank.
For not being able to come at noon today.
He first punished himself with a drink, and then started laughing and chatting with everyone.
After that, several people chatted with each other about their recent situation, with smiles on their faces that they had not seen during their work in the past few years.
Relatively realistic.
The old school days are still very nostalgic.
Chen Yun and Shi Jie had an in-depth discussion about the fact that a man as strong as Lao Wu only ate two bowls of egg fried rice when he went to the cafeteria.
In this regard, Wu Xiang'ao also complained unceremoniously about Shi Jie's hairstyle at the time and some embarrassing things that Chen Yun had done.
During this period, there was no pretentious slap in the face like in many novels, nor was there any unprovoked provocation from passers-by.
Only in novels, because there are no coincidences, various situations will continue to happen.
Besides, these were three young men sitting at a barbecue stall. Under normal circumstances, five or six people would not come to provoke three young men.
In fact, this is just a normal classmate dinner.
Not that many, some, some, none.
They were just bragging together, discussing the beautiful girls they had met in college, and chatting about their previous experiences playing games, just like most friends reunited after a long absence.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that the three of them, who rarely got together, went back to their homes.
We have made an appointment to play games together every Saturday and Sunday if we are free.
Shi Jie and Wu Xiang'ao smiled and took a taxi each.
Everything in the world is normal and running smoothly as before.
But watching the two classmates leave, Chen Yun understood that he was really different.
Not only are we no longer in the same world as these two friends, but we are different from all human beings. Just like he thought before.
Going home this time is like saying goodbye to my past self.
Mother, father, brother, Bai Yueguang, friends.
He seemed to have met the person he was supposed to meet once.
The dim lights in the streets and alleys made Chen Yun think a lot.
The alcohol ferments slightly in the blood, but dissipates quickly. It simply cannot bring back the unique feeling of being tipsy yet sober.
The night wind blew gently, leaving a bit of loneliness and depth. This is Jiangnan Province where there is no nightlife. The crowds around him are gradually dispersing, leaving him alone in the quiet night, as if he can hear the voice from the bottom of his heart.
Looking up at the starry sky, the stars are dotted like memories of life and visions of the future twinkling in them, and Chen Yun's eyes also twinkle.
He was reminiscing about tonight's laughter and conversation, and also thinking about the direction of his life and the road ahead.
His future is visibly derailed from the ordinary world.
Faintly, Chen Yun actually felt a little lonely.
At this moment, loneliness is not loneliness, but a process of self-dialogue and self-precipitation. It is a time of solitude given by life, allowing people to examine their hearts more deeply and understand themselves.
And for him.
Rather than being lonely, it is better to say that I have gradually stood too high, so high that I can hardly see the people under my feet.
Although it hasn't happened yet, he has already predicted the possible future.
Putting aside his status and strength in the future, his lifespan will most likely be much longer than that of ordinary people.
He didn't believe his evolution would ignore this.
That's when.
Everyone around me... seems to stay away.
And in the end only yourself is left.
Life in this world is like a fleeting moment, all of a sudden. Everyone's life is an extremely short moment compared to the vast history.
He has younger brothers, parents, and friends. When they grow old, if they have the means, should they help their parents, brothers and friends live forever, or let them enjoy their old age in peace?
What will your parents, younger brother, and friends choose?
If they pass away, what impact will it have on your own state of mind?
Maybe he would shout that he couldn't bear it anymore and punch the earth to explode? Then he became a destructive maniac who smashed stars everywhere without caring.
Maybe he will leave the earth and travel into space? Go to other planets or even outside the solar system to seek a new civilization.
Maybe I will be at a loss and sink into the world to escape? Open a shop belonging to the immortal and entertain the guests.
Chen Yun didn't know what would happen specifically.
With complicated thoughts.
He waved to the taxi on the roadside.
The taxi came over immediately.
After telling the destination that the hotel was booked before, the driver knew and started driving skillfully.
While looking at the scenes flashing outside the car window, many things flashed through Chen Yun's mind.
His mother helped him clarify his anchor point when he was confused, his father took off the shackles of stress and anxiety on his body, his brother made him want to hit the sky, and the white moonlight made him understand that he yearned for the future more than the past...
Everything seemed to push him towards a pure seeker.
But finally.
Chen Yun couldn't help but think about this trip home. One final question for his state of mind.
That is:
The loneliness destined to be brought about by immortality.
Maybe it's too early to think about this.
However, Chen Yun felt that with his evolutionary ability that always favored defense and survival, it was impossible not to consider the issue of lifespan.
He even vaguely suspected that he already had a lot of lifespan at this moment, but he couldn't verify it by some means for the time being.
so.
The loneliness brought by immortality may not be felt now, but it will be felt in the future.
Wait until everyone around you has left.
What anchor did he have at that time?
What changes will occur to his psychology as a result?
As a human who has only been exposed to short-lived species since childhood, it is difficult for Chen Yun to think about the issue of long-lived species from the perspective of short-lived species.
So even with the rational balance mechanism, he couldn't help but fall into confusion.
The truth is, he can't give an answer.
I don’t know when I will be able to give the answer.
Thinking like this, Chen Yun looked at his own figure reflected in the car window, and then looked at the street lights and green belt receding outside the car window without saying a word.
perhaps……
Wait until he really spends a long time.
The answer to this question comes naturally.
