I called people in the county. More than half an hour later, a jeep drove up next to Fang Ze's Q7.
"Brother, why are you driving your car here when you have nothing to do?" A man said in confusion, scratching his head.
"It's romantic." Fang Ze pointed at Holo casually, gave a simple explanation, and then said to the man, "Hurry up and add oil to me, we are in a hurry to go back."
"Sorry, sorry." The man glanced at Holo, then at Fang Ze, and immediately cursed himself for being stupid.
What else could a man and a woman alone do in the middle of nowhere
Watching the car fill up with gas, Fang Ze transferred money to the person who sent the gas, and then drove Holo towards the county seat in the car.
"It feels much more comfortable here than the previous city." Holo said, holding her chin. "Although the city made of steel looks fresh, it will feel depressing after staying for a long time."
"Actually, it's because you still like open places." Fang Ze said to Holo, "Like the grassland?"
"The grassland is really a long-lasting memory in my memory." Holo put her head out of the car window and looked at the vast sky and asked, "Is there a grassland near here? I suddenly want to visit the grassland."
"Yes, although it's not very big, it's still a grassland after all." Fang Ze stopped the car and a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind.
"If you really want to see the grassland, I can take you there now."
"Hey, you didn't lie to us, did you? Is there really a grassland here?"
Fang Ze didn't speak. At this time, all he had to do was take action. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the navigation. He found that after driving for a day and a half, he could reach the grassland closest to the imperial capital. So he turned the steering wheel and did not drive back to the imperial capital. , but headed towards the grassland.
"You're such a nice person." Holo noticed that Fang Ze was really leading her towards the grassland. She stretched her head from the back seat to the front and said, "From now on, you will be one of our friends. .”
"One?" Fang Ze looked at Holo and asked. "Do you have any other friends besides me?"
"There are many, such as Wheat No. 1, Wheat No. 2, and Wheat No. 3." Holo shook her head and said, "Although these friends will be cut away by others every year, it doesn't matter. When new wheat grows the next year, Just find them and rename them.”
"So in your heart, am I actually on the same level as Maizi?"
"Of course not." Holo shook her head and denied, "But if I don't say this, it will appear that I only have a friend like you, which makes me lose face."
"That makes sense." Fang Ze gave a thumbs up.
"By the way, do you have a lot of friends?" Holo's small body slipped through the gap between the driver's seat and the passenger seat, sat on the passenger seat, and looked at Fang Ze and asked.
"Strictly speaking, not a lot."
"Are you questioning the wisdom of the great wise wolf Holo?" Holo looked at Fang Ze and said with disbelief, "You can tell that you have a lot of friends."
"If people who are familiar with each other and often talk and play together are considered friends, then I do have a lot of friends." Fang Ze said, "But if this standard is raised to the point where we can share weal and woe, then it really is Not much left.”
What Fang Ze said was true. He didn't have too many friends who he recognized from the bottom of his heart.
"So there is nothing wrong with treating you as a friend. You are a lonely person just like us."
"Where am I lonely?" Fang Ze said jokingly, "Every day is very fulfilling."
"Loneliness has nothing to do with fulfillment. Loneliness means people who are unwilling to tell others their innermost secrets. Because they only believe in themselves." Holo said, looking at Fang Ze.
"If you think about it this way, I am indeed very lonely." Fang Ze said to Holo while driving the car, "You said yesterday that wolves are gregarious and lonely creatures. In fact, humans are the same."
"Wolves are actually very lonely at heart. They live together in groups because it is difficult for a lone wolf to catch prey. Only living in groups can ensure their survival. The same is true for humans. The reason why humans gather together is Because it is difficult for a single human to survive in nature. But if this kind of group living becomes less necessary, both wolves and humans are actually willing to leave the group."
"You just said that although you don't have many friends, you still have friends. Now you are leaving the tribe again."
"These are two concepts." Fang Ze saw that the car was driving on the highway anyway, so there was no need to worry about any emergencies, so he and Holo continued to talk.
"What humans call leaving the group does not mean that they keep an absolute distance from other humans, but that they are not keen on socializing." Fang Ze gave an example, "For example, some otaku groups in human society, the reason why they Staying at home does not mean refusing contact with the outside world, but rejecting unnecessary contact with the outside world. For example, if a person wants to enter an official career, he must face the intrigues in society. For example, if a person wants to enter the business district, he must face For a complex economy. In the process of entering, you will definitely hurt others and be hurt by others."
"The otaku group has no plans to enter the official career, nor do they want to enter the business circle. They just want to live a simpler life. The relationship with friends is more pure. This is what humans call leaving the ethnic group, do you understand?"
"I understand." Holo smiled and nodded. "In the final analysis, you are just afraid of facing the dark reality and want to live a simpler life. Just like our wolf clan, if a male wolf wants to gain status in the clan, he must You have to be able to fight so that others can recognize you. But in the process of fighting, you will definitely hurt others of your kind."
"Absolutely." Fang Ze nodded and said, "The more lonely a person is, the more fervent and pure their feelings are, and the more willing they are to sacrifice everything for true friends, because they regard their feelings as precious and would rather be alone than share things casually. give others."
"But true friends are always hard to meet." Holo said with a smile. "There used to be a child at the entrance of the village. He especially liked to play a game of guessing fists with others, which was to guess which one of the other person's fists was holding. If he guesses correctly, the money will be his. But this kid always guesses wrong. People often guess wrong even for a choice of two options, let alone guess which one you have to choose from among more than a billion people. They are true friends.”
"That's pretty much the truth." Fang Ze shrugged and said, "So I always advise my friends not to think that they can find true love in their lifetime. After all, when you were studying, you were all wrong in the four-choice multiple-choice questions, so why not say yes?" From the sea of people, you can decide which one is the wife you can stay with for the rest of your life."
