"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yan asked hurriedly when he saw that the old man looked wrong.
The old man came back to his senses, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events!"
Xia Yuanqiu came in with the fried medicine. Hearing the old man's words, he smiled and said, "It seems that your memory has recovered. Do you still remember your name?"
Xia Yuanqiu looked at the old man with teasing eyes, obviously making fun of him.
The old man didn't care, he just pretended not to hear, reached out to take the hot medicine bowl, and said happily: "I didn't expect that I, an old man, have lived alone for so long, and I thought I would never drink medicine again in this life. , I didn’t expect that I could drink a bowl before I died!”
Xia Yuanqiu said: "What are you talking nonsense about? You are so healthy and have no incurable diseases. You may not know how many years you have to live."
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Silly girl, will you not die if there is no illness or disaster? Human lifespan is limited. I have lived for too long, and it is time for me to be buried."
Xia Yuanqiu tilted his head and looked at him, and suddenly asked: "You always say that you have lived for a long time, how long exactly is it?"
The old man shook his head: "I can't remember clearly myself. If it weren't for responsibility and commitment, I would have already -" He didn't finish, he just sighed and drank the medicine bowl in one gulp, as if he was in a bad mood. The man was holding a big bowl of wine and drank it with pride.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Since you know that you still have responsibilities, you can't even think about death. Living well is more important than anything else. Ants can live in vain, let alone us humans."
The old man didn't answer any more, just handed the bowl to Xia Yuanqiu's hand, sighed and lay back on the stone bed, closing his tired eyes, with scenes of past events in his mind. Whenever he closed his eyes, these past events kept coming back to him. Now in front of him, it seems that he is afraid that he will forget one day. Maybe he is afraid that he will forget, so he recalls it over and over again.
Seeing that the old man didn't want to talk anymore, Xia Yuanqiu could only pull Zhu Yan out of the stone room. The two sat down in front of the stone table. As soon as their buttocks touched the stone bench, they immediately jumped up. This stone bench, It was like an iron plate that had been roasted to a certain extent, and the two of them had almost no fat from being roasted on their buttocks.
Xia Yuanqiu took out two buckets of water from the stream in the space and poured it on the stone bench. This made the temperature of the stone bench drop a lot.
"Why don't we just go into the space and rest?" Zhu Yan sat on the stone bench, feeling uncomfortable all over, fearing that the temperature that had just dropped on the stone bench would come back later.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "I don't know when this volcano will erupt. We can't leave here. We have to monitor and observe it at all times."
Seeing that her face was red, Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "You go into the space to rest, I'll guard her!"
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said, "I was just about to say this. You go in and rest, and I'll guard you."
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Are you challenging your authority as a husband?"
Xia Yuanqiu covered his mouth and chuckled, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go in and rest for a while before I come out."
After Xia Yuanqiu left, Zhu Yan felt that the stone bench under his butt was getting hot again. He quickly stood up. If he sat down again, his butt would probably be cooked. He didn't want to be a handsome man without a butt.
He was wandering around the stone house alone, killing his free time. Suddenly, a beast roar came from a distance. He hurried back to the door of the stone house and looked warily at the direction from which the beast roar came.
