Shuo Yu looked down at his empty hands. There was nothing there now, no blood, no bones, but he could now reach out and grasp every ray of light in this space. He thought for a while before finally speaking.
"...I don't know. I used to always wonder when I would die. I hoped, I waited. I thought death was the end, that once I died, there would be nothing left. I lived alone for a long time, a really long time, but I didn't want to be killed by others, nor did I want to kill others. I was just waiting, and I didn't even know what I was waiting for."
"I thought I would know the answer sooner or later. Everyone spends their entire life searching for their own answer. It took me ten thousand years to finally feel like I had touched upon that vague thing, but I still don't know..."
"What about now?" The singing voice was still speaking, not like a man or a woman, just a voice.
"I... I don't know. Am I really going to die?... But I still have a lot of things to do, a lot to say, and very important people waiting for me. I've done a lot of wrong things, and a lot of good things that I thought were right. I don't want to die yet."
It was not until this moment, until Shuo Yu stood in the middle of the white light, that he realized that he did not want to die. He had many things to say, many things he could not say, but at this moment there seemed to be no obstacles, so he calmly looked into his heart and came to this conclusion.
"Yes, although you don't know your answer now, I believe you will know your answer when you come back next time, Mr. Caterpillar."
"I think I would. Does the answer matter, Miss Butterfly?"
"Maybe... for you."
A light laugh sounded, and before Shuo Yu could react, his entire soul began to spin and reverse in a whirlpool-like manner, so fast that he couldn't see the person who had just spoken to him. He only saw a picture that looked like an illusion after eating mushrooms. The colorful picture flashed before his eyes, just like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, dreamy and unreal.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab something. He felt that he still had many questions to ask, such as who was she? Why was she here? Why did he see her?
But no matter how many questions he had, he had to put them back into his stomach. Now he could do nothing but spin backwards as if he was locked in a washing machine, being swept away by time and space.
Jiqipo, in the [Shenxian Cave],
Fairy Cave, this name is what Fanla Kangya Yaoma and the others called it in private. It is the cave where Banxianer stored all the food of the Sichuan Army. Since the day Banxianer fell down, he has been unconscious until now.
During this period, the veterinarian was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. As soon as he saw Banxianer lying on the bed, he started calling his son. As a result, he is now forbidden to see Banxianer. They are already in a mess if one of them can't wake up, and if there is another one, they will really have to beg for help. They are already annoying enough.
Meng Fanle suspected that Banxian'er was dead. Have you ever seen someone sleeping without breathing? Not only without breathing, but also without moving?
But no matter who it is, as long as they dare to say that Banxian'er is dead, the little tail watching him at the door will start to bite them without any hesitation and stop them from saying anything.
"My master is just asleep, he's not dead. You are all bad guys--!"
Meng Fanle took the opportunity to carefully touch the body while delivering food, and his heart sank immediately. Yes, Banxian'er's body was still warm, but he didn't breathe at all, and there was no reaction at all. If he wasn't dead, then what was he?
Meng was annoyed when he saw Banxian'er lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He also hoped that he had just fainted. He didn't want to lose the kindest guy among them, a kind-hearted ghost who would drag a dead body back home.
On the first day that Banxianer fainted, they didn't take it seriously. They just thought he was too tired and would be fine after a good sleep.
That day, as agreed, McLuhan took a group photo of the cannon fodders in the cannon fodder group. Doubing, Yaoma, Bu La, Kang Ya, Big Eyes, Death Star, Big Beard, Mi Long, and even the often confused old man Hao were all there.
Si La Si La stood in the middle, with his adjutant who wanted to leave but couldn't, and they were squatting in the first row, with Collins and Mi Long standing behind them. It seemed like these two guys could never stop talking, always having something to talk about, but if you listened carefully, it was always just the same old father-son thing.
There was a group of guys who couldn't even stop taking pictures. Most of them didn't even know what a photo was. They just stood there as soon as they were told to, and shouted "chers~!" as Master Mai asked them to.
After that day, one day after another passed, but Banxianer still didn't wake up.
Ever since Master Mai and the National Assistance left and then returned, there was a new rule before dinner at Jiqipo: if you didn't clean your gun, you wouldn't eat. Milong's Czech rifle was split in two and placed in front of the National Assistance table. The two of them argued back and forth, and even Collins learned Milong's phrase, "I'll kill you!"
Milong did learn the word "eat". He originally wanted Doubing to help him clean his gun, but the people's assistance was very principled and he let Doubing go to eat first. At this time, the highest local commander, the commander of the cannon fodder regiment and his adjutant, also came to eat. Meng Fanle's gun was very clean.
Even though Si La Si La, the leader of a group, had his gun dirtier than Mi Long, he couldn't eat either. Surprisingly, the guy who usually played dirty like Mi Long didn't say anything today. He just accepted it calmly and went somewhere else.
