Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Leo strolled leisurely along a usual path, sniffing and sniffing outside the fences in the front yards of each resident, and gnawed on the grass blades that absorbed water droplets and insect eggs.Now it accepts the rope held by Luo Binhan safely, but it doesn't like to get close to Zhou Yu, just like its little master.

Its timidity seemed strange to Luo Binhan, so he devoted most of his energy to observing it, studying how it turned left and right as if nothing had happened, and glanced furtively at the two of them from time to time.There was an air of uncommon intelligence in it.He thought of Falk, and then of the lop-eared doctor who had been favored by Yarrika.Indeed, if Leo could be as smart as a human, or rather think like a human, and still retain the sharpness and tenacity of a canine, he would surely be more popular than many humans.

But Yallika didn't have a canine head.He thought carefully about every member of the Silence, as well as those temporary passengers like him, and it was interesting to find that most of them still had heads similar to his on the surface.What is the reason?he asked himself in his heart.Is there another place where a dog leads an ape for a walk?But this is just a very superficial replacement of identities. He already knows that there are indeed some races outside the sky that never raise animals.He couldn't figure out how they lived, it was beyond his life experience.But he does know a counterexample.

He laughed oddly.Zhou Yu, who was looking around at the surrounding trees and single-family buildings, paused.Luo Binhan had no choice but to explain to him what he heard from Yalai Lijia about how the ancient and noble Celestial Horns lived in primitive times: they were vegetarians who lived on grains and grass leaves, but they domesticated a species called "wild "Hu" livestock as labor.They didn't want to implement slavery to other races, but this kind of beast is lazy and cruel by nature. It not only commits various crimes among its own kind, but also tries to destroy all species that live with them.The Celestial Horn ancestors had to bring this poor but highly productive herd under their control in an attempt to minimize their impact on the environment.As a result, "Yahoo" became their only captive and enslaved animal.

Zhou Yu listened to the story with his usual calmness, not sure if he understood the omitted part.He asked, "What happened next?"

"What if I say they killed all the wild husks?"

"That's a solution, too."

"They don't," Robinhan said. "They don't kill young animals, and they can't stop wild beards from multiplying—this kind of thing doesn't respect time and place, and doesn't care about means or morals—so they can only put this kind of thing. Captive on a desert island. Then they moved away, to a more fertile and ... interesting place, and established a kingdom without such things. They haven't kept or enslaved other animals since."

"That would be best for them."

"But why the wild hu?" Luo Binhan asked spontaneously, "Look, this thing is not the worst species they have encountered, but the worst thing they can deal with - the weakest among the bad things, Worst of all weaklings. What trait puts it in such a bad position?"  …

"Is it bad?"

"Not bad enough?"

"It's just an inevitable position in the ranking. According to you, there must be the most harmless among the weak animals and the most dangerous among the harmful animals. Do you think it would be better to be in that position?"

Luo Binhan shook his head, watching Leo throw down a bunch of withered sage.He tightened the rope a little to keep the dog from digging at the more brittle plants in other people's front yards.

"Maybe it'll be easier," he said, "either you can't do anything at all, or you'll just go the whole way. It'll give you a sense of where you are, rather than…"

His voice lowered, almost whispering to himself: "It's arrogant and ridiculous."

Zhou Yu still looked at him as usual.In his unsurprised gaze, Luo Binhan secretly felt a trace of comfort.He had never seen Zhou Yu look at him with sympathy or disappointment, and maybe Zhou Yu had never looked at others with such eyes since he was born—even his father who rarely appeared.He is so constant and indifferent, running on his own will, like an indifferent fire hydrant standing next to a carnival scene.Even in a distant foreign country, he can bring Luo Binhan the familiar order and stability, as long as he doesn't enter the kitchen.

"But," he said briskly, "doctors must see no difference, if you only see people in the operating room and exam room. No one can stand up to an anal exam anyway."

A very inconspicuous smile appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes.Luo Binhan didn't know if he had done anal examinations, but there must have been many interesting stories about such things in the hospital.As the saying goes, "there is no hero in the eyes of a servant", but what power and glory can a patient who is paralyzed on the operating table retain?Luo Binhan's thoughts moved away from the ancestors of the Sky Horned Ones, when he heard Zhou Yu talking.

"There is indeed no difference." Zhou Yu said, "No matter what position the species is in, it is the same for death."

Luo Binhan couldn't help but move his eyes away from Leo who was eating the blade of grass.He looked at Zhou Yu in a little astonishment, and found that the latter was staring at the shadow at the bottom of the lamp post.In an instant, he noticed that there was an indescribable expression lurking under that calm face, as if he was staring at a complicated flower that no one had seen.

He suddenly looked at the shadow under the street lamp, where there was only a dusty emptiness.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

Zhou Yu just shook his head, with dullness and bewilderment caused by lack of sleep on his face.Leo raised his leg to pee under the lamp post as they stepped over it.There were several barks of dogs echoing each other in the distance, but the road they walked was extremely quiet, and they didn't even meet a few people who came out for a walk after dinner.

In the past, Luo Binhan's frequent visits made him a half-familiar face in this community, and most residents knew that he belonged to Yu Xiaorong's family.But he had never been particularly close to anyone, so when he and Zhou Yu wandered alone, the acquaintances he met by chance would at most smile at them.He no longer has to think about how to communicate, because here he plays a stupid, ignorant foreigner who can't even understand the local language.And this actually made him happy. …

They walked undisturbed to the edge of the town.The night breeze is cool, full of aromas of jasmine and lavender.Luo Binhan let go of the leash, allowing Leo to exercise in this open field.He and Zhou Yu walked up to a lush green hill covered with bear green onions.When Luo Binhan pushed aside the thick withered vines with a wooden stick, revealing some traces of rocky ruins underneath, Zhou Yu's surprised expression gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"My sister brought me here." He sat down on the ruins, not paying attention to the accumulated plaster on the stone surface. "When she was a child, she liked to bring her dog here to play Frisbee."

Zhou Yu didn't sit down together, obviously out of his preference for cleanliness.But he pressed his fingers to the moss-covered rock, sliding it along its gray, rough surface like a blind man reading a Braille book.

"I heard that this place used to be a church." Luo Binhan gestured an approximate area. "It was a small stone church. It was still there 100 years ago, maybe 200 years ago, and then it collapsed one day."

"Hasn't it been built again?"

"The new one is in town. It's a beautiful white spire. If you're interested, I can take you to see it tomorrow."

Zhou Yu did not act too aggressively towards this proposal.He was still observing the lines of the broken stones. "Do you know why this place collapsed?"

"There is no accurate statement." Luo Binhan glanced at Leo who was running down the hill, "Some said it was because of the earthquake, and some said it was bombed by planes during the war. In short, everything is gone, the church, and the things behind it. The cemetery—they used to be able to pick up fragments of a few tombstones, which are in museums."

He turned to look behind him.At the foot of the sunlit mound lay shadows that the evening sun has not touched.The overgrown greenery stretches out, leading to the woods a hundred meters away.This open space may have once been lined with tombstones, but now there are only Fangcao and his wife.The thought that there might be many dead sleeping under these grass roots did not frighten him.Maybe it was because he had experienced too many strange things, maybe it was because Zhou Yu was standing next to him at the moment—knowing that he was getting along with someone who could sleep in the morgue since he was a child really felt safe.If the corpse really got up from the ground, Zhou Yu would decide for him what to do.

A gust of wind blew from the direction of the woods.Luo Binhan felt that dust had entered his eyes, and he turned his back to look at the town again.From where they sat, they could overlook a large residential area.Under the purple light of the setting sun, the houses between the courtyard and the shade are as delicate as a withered model.Their crimson roofs and blue-yellow walls are particularly bright in the afterglow, and there are suspended flower beds outside almost every window, where the most colorful and luxuriant hanging basket flowers are planted in spring and summer.Gorgeous petunias and geraniums overflow the altar, and countless colorful curtains hang down.

It all makes the town feel like a paradise, even though it's not really that old.No matter how they look like warm and lovely wooden houses with a long history from a distance, most of the red-roofed buildings are new buildings made of concrete.Under the fairy-tale style, they have a solid skeleton and tenacious toughness... just like Yu Xiaorong who lives here. …

Luo Binhan's eyes jumped, wandering along the roof line illuminated by the afterglow, trying to find the unique yellow-purple pansy outside Yu Xiaorong's bedroom, but he couldn't recognize it after all.He could only point to the parts he could recognize and tell Zhou Yu the story: a row of arcade-style double-storey buildings dotted with Du Juan, including flower shops, beer halls, grocery stores, bakeries, hotels and cinemas; Going up the ramp at the back of the business district, there is a garden square and service center surrounded by fir forests, where many festivals are held, and he has encountered Oktoberfest and Halloween dances; Down the path, through fir forests and villas with rose-colored stone walls and extensive gardens, is the church that is still in use in the town.Two cemeteries were opened in the woods behind the mission hall to bury Protestants and Catholics respectively.

He kept introducing the most lively and beautiful places in the town, trying to make Zhou Yu feel the exotic customs.But his own thoughts escaped from all these picturesque scenes.Unbelievably, when he was in Lihai's apartment, he always thought of this place, looking forward to throwing everything away and coming here, but when he really looked at Regenberg, his impression of Lihai City became vivid again : Not the blue sky, the whitewashed walls, or the flowers, but a hollow, subtle noise that reverberates through countless nights, from a car speeding outside the window, or from an electrical appliance humming inside a room, making one realize that one is in a stable, Within the vast and indifferent system; and the pale, dim hour of dawn, where there seems never to be a memory of the fiery blaze of dawn, the sky only slowly and flatly brightening, making the long night silent in gray wet mist or light rain It disappeared, and then the dark and orderly silhouette of Louxia gradually appeared outside the window.

Suddenly, he understood why he thought of Lihai City at this moment.He stopped talking, turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and looked at the monotonous black coat, unhealthy complexion and flat and alienated expression.A thought arises spontaneously: it was Zhou Yu's arrival that caused his association, and it was Zhou Yu who brought Lihai City into Regenberg.

Zhou Yu was also looking at him, and seemed to have been staring at him for a while, and found something interesting on his face.Luo Binhan touched his face to make sure there was nothing on it—unless Yu Xiaorong wiped ink on his face when he was not paying attention.

"What happened to my face?" He asked wonderingly.

"I didn't see any of the places you mentioned just now." Zhou Yu said, "The distance is too far, and I can only see some rough street outlines under this kind of brightness."

Robinson suddenly understood.He made a mistake, luckily it was in front of Zhou Yu instead of Yu Xiaorong, so it was not a disaster.He coughed in embarrassment, but Zhou Yu just smiled slightly and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes: "My eyesight is worse than before. It's hard to see clearly in dark places. "

"When did it happen?" Luo Binhan asked immediately.

"About two years ago, it didn't matter because it didn't affect daily life."

Luo Binhan looked suspiciously at Zhou Yu's child hole, but found no sign of wearing contact lenses.He knew that many doctors were short-sighted, and the lenses Luo Jiaotian wore in high school were quite thick.But he always thought that Zhou Yu's eyesight was very good, just like Zhou Yu's physical ability.When I was a student, many cultural teachers believed that a nerd like Zhou Yu should stay away from strenuous exercise. This was one of the many illusions brought about by Zhou Yu's gentle and quiet image.Luo Binhan still remembers that one year in the school sports meeting, Zhou Yu unfortunately got the task of the long-distance running competition, and the head teacher wanted to transfer him to the long jump group out of kindness.And when many teachers found out that Zhou Yu could even finish in the top three, the shock on their faces made Luo Binhan so happy. …

But, that's all in the past.At this moment, the passage of time suddenly came to Luo Binhan's consciousness.He thought of how many times Zhou Yu had been hospitalized in the past few years, how many irreversible effects of perennial unhealthy work and rest had brought about, and how severe the blow was by that terrible incident.Everything has changed.Zhou Yu is not much younger than him, and he is almost 30 years old.The reason why he hasn't felt the burden of the years is that he is still an active and wealthy person, and——the things Jing Juan gave him to drink.

If he stayed here, he couldn't help but think that he might witness Zhou Yu's funeral, or even Yu Xiaorong's funeral.In the end, the nightmare that Yu Qingshu worried about all day will come true. In his own old age, he was lying alone on the hospital bed suffering from pain, while the world mercilessly abandoned him, and he didn't bother to take a second look at this dying waste.With this kind of imagination, he looked at Zhou Yu carefully, trying to find the subtle wrinkles at the corners of the other's eyes, or an unremarkable white hair.But strange to say, he felt that Zhou Yu's appearance hadn't changed at all.It looked like Zhou Yu was the same Zhou Yu who won the third place in the long-distance running competition ten years ago and shocked the class teacher's glasses.

"Where are the others buried?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Who?" Luo Binhan said absently, he was still thinking about what Zhou Yu would be like in his later years.Maybe it will be a reprint of Zhou Geqing, but it is said that Zhou Yu's outline is more like his mother... Who did he listen to?

"Where are the non-believers buried? Also behind that church?"

"Oh...not necessarily." Luo Binhan turned his thoughts back to understand the question he heard, "There may be another public cemetery, I guess that's the case. There are Buddhists in this town."

He shrugged: "You know, my mother loves to talk about the fact that after people are cremated, they have to pick out big bones and knock them into boxes. She even thinks that is funny. But she is more tired of digging pits and digging for dead people." Move the coffin."

"Is burial here the mainstream?"

"Half and half." Luo Binhan said casually.He really didn't think about it carefully, because Yu Qingshu had already told him his intention to donate his body - if there was no demand in the market by then, his mother added, she would rather be dumped into the sea than pay nothing Pointless cemetery fees.She even actually saved some money so that her two sons and daughters could go on a luxury cruise to commemorate her after her death, throwing her ashes in the ocean along the way.Luo Binhan is no longer surprised now, his mother has always been such a pragmatic woman.

Zhou Yu, who also knew about this matter, smiled veiledly, as if saying that this was indeed Yu Qingshu in his impression.In order not to say any bad things suspected of slandering the elders, they all staggered their eyes and looked for other topics.Luo Binhan's gaze drifted to the farthest corner where the setting sun could reach, a somewhat old townhouse area, the white walls already showing a mottled rusty yellow.It's one of the oldest buildings in town, and it's also the easiest place to see new tenants and faces.His heart sank slightly, thinking of the terrifying atmosphere that once lingered there. …

"Lenny Colaine," he murmured.He had never seen this person before, but the other person's appearance was clearly engraved in his mind, and he could even pronounce the name with a German accent.

Because of the tone of his voice, Zhou Yu turned his eyes towards the woods behind him.Luo Binhan smiled at him, shrugged and said, "A criminal who pestered my sister before."

"Is it the teacher at her school?"

"Elementary school teacher." Luo Binhan crushed a piece of gravel with the sole of his shoe, "A crazy psychopath who thinks he can absorb life from a child, through being with a child... like that."

He kicked the gravel down the green hill with no expression on his face, and then found Zhou Yu looking at the woods behind him again. "What are you looking at?"

With his back turned to him, Zhou Yu said softly, "It seems that someone is inside."

Robin Han glanced into the woods.The sun was already down, and the shadows of the hillocks covered the edge of the woods, leaving a dark outline of shadows.He searched for signs of people among the dense trunks and swaying branches, but found nothing.When he did this, Zhou Yu had already walked down the hill.

Luo Binhan grabbed his shoulder: "Where are you going?"

"Just confirm it for a while. If someone is really trapped inside, we can help."

"No one would get lost so close to the town," Luo Binhan said, and dragged Zhou Yu back a little bit. "If it's murder and dumping the body, it's usually two kilometers away."

Zhou Yu obediently returned to the top of the hill, but still looked around frequently.His appearance made Luo Binhan feel both amused and vaguely uneasy.He remembered Yu Xiaorong's advice, and thought that Zhou Yu should not take the risk of letting Zhou Yu get close to the woods, otherwise he might fall down because of the tangled tree roots.

"You must be dazzled," he said. "My eyesight is better than yours now. There must be no living people walking in the woods. And if some bloody dead man's schoolbag is trying to seduce you, we must run faster." .Come on, we should go back now."

He pulled Zhou Yu down the hill from the sunny side.The latter did not struggle, but sighed strangely.

"You don't really want to see the blood-stained schoolbag, do you?" Luo Binhan questioned.

"Even if you see it, what does it matter?"

"Bad luck is at your door." Robin Han reminded him of Hannah Zahn's dinner table ghost story.

At this time, the bright light of the setting sun shone on them, giving Zhou Yu a rare vitality and enthusiasm on his face.When Luo Binhan saw him looking at the top of the hill for the last time, he smiled thoughtfully.

"Then let it come." Zhou Yu said.

Leo suddenly barked at their feet and pounced on a fluttering white butterfly.All the dogs in the town barked.I don't know which one let out a long howl first, and then the group of dogs rose up in unison.The successive barks were like the alarm bell before the earthquake.
