Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1709: Father and Son

With a hand on Allen's shoulder, Adele squatted down and said softly, "Your mother will be proud of you."

Allen put his backhand on Adele's hand, nodded and said, "Thank you."

He had regained his composure and stood up again, the tin house was full of afternoon sunshine. The inside and outside of the house are full of sunflowers, which looks golden in the past. Even the simple tin house is embellished with a dreamlike beauty at the moment.

"This oasis, and these flowers and trees cannot be formed naturally." After regaining his calm, Allen re-examined the place.

Adele also agrees: "The oasis in the desert is usually possible to grow vegetation because of the nearby underground rivers. But it takes a long time to complete all this, but I am sure that a year ago, here is still a desert. It is barren, it is absolutely impossible to generate such an oasis."

"If it's not natural, then it's man-made?" Allen was taken aback, who could create an oasis. Obviously, these flowers, plants and trees can't grow into what they are now just by planting something.

Instead, create out of thin air!

Thinking of the word creation, Alan's heart moved slightly. At this time, a dog barked in the distance, and the two turned their heads to look, and there was someone walking towards here from the other side. He looked like a farmer, with a shovel on his shoulder, and his face could not be seen clearly with a hat on, only that he was wearing a shirt and trousers. His trousers were rolled up, he was not wearing shoes, and a yellow dog was running around him, barking twice from time to time.

Adele was fine, she just felt strange. When he looked at Allen, he couldn't help being startled. The expression on Allen's face changed rapidly, from initial shock, to anger, and finally calm, to indifference. He said softly: "Adele, can you wait for me in the car, I want to talk to this person."

The girl gave a "hmm", turned around and left without asking why.

When she disappeared behind the trees, the farmer also came to the iron house. Under the sun, under the brim of his hat, he raised his head slightly, his eyes in the shadows glanced at Ellen, and then threw a bone to the yellow dog . He went into the tin house and took out a monument made of tree trunks. Allen watched as he nailed the wooden monument into the field next to the house, among the sunflowers.

Allen walked over, and a line of words was engraved on the wooden tablet: May you be safe in heaven, pure and innocent like running water.

The sound of knocking rang in his ears, and the man continued his work with his back turned to him. Allen said softly: "People are gone, is it meaningful to do this?"

The man with his back turned replied, "That depends on what you mean by meaning. To me, if I remember her, then it all makes sense.

If I've already forgotten, there's no point in doing more. "

"Then do you remember her?"

The man finally finished his work, he stood up, pulled the brim of his hat and said softly: "Unforgettable."

Allen was shocked.

The man walked to the tin house and took out a bong and a pack of tobacco leaves inside. He sat down by the house, put his feet on the ground, put the tobacco leaves in his bong and said, "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"

"You say." Allen sat on the other side, leaning against the outer wall of the house, raised his head, and blocked the bright but not dazzling sunlight with his hands.

The man's voice seemed to come from far away: "Many years ago, there was a man. He was a bastard. He had been to many places and had different women. Even those women already had his flesh and blood, but He was still ruthlessly abandoned by him. Because for him, getting to know women and having children is just a means to continue the offspring, and has nothing to do with love."

"But on a bright afternoon like today, he saw a girl. When the girl looked back at him, he saw himself in the girl's eyes. At that moment, something caressed his heart gently, so he knew , he fell in love with that girl."

"You may find it unbelievable, but it is the truth. There is no logic in love, and it has nothing to do with reason. Some people have been together for a lifetime, but in the end they have never really loved each other. They are husband and wife, but strictly speaking It is said that they are just partners who live together; some people have never seen each other, but because of a casual look at each other, they will never forget the style of that glance."

"As I said just now, that man is a jerk. Although he likes girls, his methods are rude and unreasonable. He took the girl away from a big family and turned her, who was originally a princess, into an ordinary girl. At first, the girl hated him as much as she wanted, so the man tried to please her in every possible way. Knowing that she liked flowers and plants, he started planting flowers and plants; knowing that girls liked small animals, he caught squirrels and puppies to tease her."

"Gradually, the girl began to have a good impression of him. Then the two got together logically. On a clear night, the girl gave herself to him. In the girl's cry, he swore that he would treat her forever. The girl believed that and see him as a life partner."

"However, at the end of the story, it is not as happy as the ending of other love stories, even if the man wants to be with the girl for the rest of his life. But he has to leave the girl, even if the girl already has his flesh and blood. But he has to leave , so he left without giving the girl any explanation. He would rather the girl hate him than have hope. He prepared a sin, when he died, he would go to heaven to apologize to the girl and pray for his Forgiveness." The man paused, "If he has a chance to go to heaven"

Allen was silent, and the man didn't speak anymore, only the tobacco leaves in the bong made a soft sound from time to time. After a while, the man exhaled a smoke ring and said, "The story is over, do you want to do it?"

"If I do it, I'm afraid she won't forgive me. Although she did say that she would put the dagger into that bastard man's chest. But now I find that the man is not that bad. Perhaps, he needs a chance to explain .”

Allen stood up, ready to leave.

"An opportunity like this will never come again," the man reminded.

"I know, but Milo also said that if I do this, it will only end the twilight of this era, not the fate of our family. You should be clear too, right?"

"I know." The man took a puff of cigarette, and then let it out: "It's just that I can't wait to go to that world to see her."

"Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so please bear with me a little longer."

Allen turned his back to the man and waved: "I'm leaving"

"Father."

The man's whole body shook, and then a drop of liquid rolled from the corner of his eye. He lowered his head and pulled the brim of his hat: "Take care of yourself, son."
