Du Tingwei sighed and said: "You don't seem to understand. Everyone knows that they will die, but they don't know when they will die. Even if the unknown number is a very small number, it is a very large number than the known number. It’s much better. Because people are alive, they desperately pursue success, enjoyment, and everything, all because they know that they will die, but they don’t know when they will die!"
He had explained it very clearly, and I knew the truth, thinking that the truth was simple, and I didn’t know when I would die. I don't know when I will die. Death is a very remote thing, and it is not worth worrying about. But if you know when you die. Even if death is a very distant afterthought, it is a very heavy psychological burden, forcing people to miss it all the time!
The situation is like a death notice for a cancer patient. There are also people who can face death with a smile, but that's only a handful.
Of course, we can say that Du Tingwei is too hypocritical, after all, many people in the world are drunk today, no matter how frost tomorrow is. But people are different, Du Tingwei is a sentimental person.
I sighed and said, "In this way, even if you can lose your predictive ability, it is useless, because you already know everything!"
Du Tingwei said: "My hope is that while making the ability to foresee disappear, I can also lose part of my memory, and treat all of this as a nightmare."
Xue Xiaomei said: "Then you should find a good brain doctor instead of always admiring a stone pillar."
"That's not a stone pillar." Du Tingwei immediately argued: "That's the'God of the Jungle', it's a God!"
Xue Xiaomei smiled and said, "Even if the stone pillar is a god, you can achieve what you want without admiring him. You go to a brain doctor, you are so rich, and now the science is so advanced, you can use scientific means. Meet your requirements."
Du Tingwei frowned and said, "No, because I predict that I will die with the ability to foresee, and I will die on the operating table."
Xue Xiaomei and I were in deep thought at the same time. Does this mean that Du Tingwei could not bear the pain in the end, knowing
In the case of failure, or will you go to brain surgery to try to erase your memory, and then die on the operating table
I knew the result was death, but because it was too painful, I still had to do it.
This behavior is no different from suicide!
No matter what the purpose of the suicide is, the suicide must be very painful and hope to be relieved.
After a while, I said: "Since you already know the result, why bother to worship the'God of the Jungle'?"
"Because I hope a miracle can happen. Although I know it's impossible, I have to struggle in despair until I struggle to struggle anymore, I will..."
Du Tingwei didn't say the rest, but Xue Xiaomei and I knew exactly what he wanted to say.
I think Du Tingwei at this time may have been somewhat depressed by his "foreseeing" ability. Because in my opinion, if it weren't for a psychological problem, there would never be the kind of self-help, suicidal thoughts.
Therefore, I do not want to continue to struggle with this issue, saying: "Tell me about you going to clear the jungle."
"Say how I met the God of the Jungle?"
"Yes it is."
Du Tingwei nodded, then took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long time, and said: "We 16 of us went on a jungle adventure in a group and wanted to find some excitement in life. In the end, only the three of us came back alive, and we..."
"Where are your two friends now?" Xue Xiaomei interrupted him and asked.
"They went abroad because many people died and they also had a lot of psychological burdens. But they didn't know that I had the ability to predict."
I said: "Keep on talking about your expedition."
"Our team set off from Chiang Khong, first arrived at Chafang Village, and then spent half a day to Mata. The traffic to Mata was very poor. We hired four donkey carts to pull our luggage and equipment. "
My heart moved. Big Eye and Zhang Ling were also riding in a donkey cart. It seems that they also went to Mata.
Du Tingwei continued: "Mata is a village with only a dozen households, built in the jungle. There are few people there, no communication equipment, and no mobile phone signal. It can be said to be an isolated place. But they are very enthusiastic. .
We one
The team set off from Mata and walked into the jungle. On the third day, we found a river. That river was a branch of the Mekong River, but there was no information to check. We walked upstream along the river.
On the fifth day, there was a torrential rain. The camp that had set us by the river was washed away and a lot of equipment was also washed away. And the river water turned red, as red as blood, but it was not completely red, only the center of the river water was red, which was very strange. At that time, someone suggested to take a look at the river center. So three people took an inflatable kayak to the center of the river, and the boat capsized.
All three of them fell into the river. When we rescued them, they looked like they were fished out of blood. They started itching that night and scratched their skin. The next morning All three of them died, and they caught themselves to death. "
At this point, Du Tingwei took a breath and stopped. Xue Xiaomei and I did not interrupt him, but waited quietly for him to continue.
"Because someone died, we had to give up the expedition and go back the same way. Because of the heavy rain, the river had several branches, so we got lost. And the jungle is getting denser and denser, and it’s almost impossible to see the sun. People in our team continued to die. On the fifth day, two people died of poisonous snakes. On the sixth day, five people were entangled in cannibal trees. They were dying when they were rescued, and died before they were saved."
Du Tingwei's narrative is very simple, but we were shocked to hear it.
I was surprised and said: "Cannibal tree?";
"It's a man-eating tree! It is a very tall tree. On the branches, there are many vine-like long beards hanging down. The long beards will shrink when encountering creatures passing by, and they will hang up. In the cannibal tree, there are all animal bones. The long beards secrete a corrosive poison after capturing food, so the five people died terribly.
However, compared to the man-eating tree, our subsequent encounter was more terrible. We encountered a man-eating fly, to be precise, a meat-eating fly. Because the flies eat our people, I call it man-eating flies. "
Xue Xiaomei said in surprise: "How can flies eat people! The flies you meet have teeth?"
