Qiu Yu stopped, took out a note paper and pen from the bag that Jack was dragging, and then drew a line on the paper that ran through the beginning and end, "Look, if my plan for life is to finish it peacefully,
Throughout my life, without considering any other additional circumstances, this straight line represents the peaceful destiny of my life. But this is definitely not the case."
Qiuyu blackened about one-sixth of the length below the line, "This part is probably the time when I can really do what I want. In fact, the total time I can spend on doing what I want is about
It’s only so long. If I spread these times throughout my life, and they function as resting stops on the road to destiny, and if they all come together and live together, maybe my life will only be so long.”
Coulun stared at the lines drawn by Qiu Yu, "I...I don't understand..."
"Because there is something wrong with the order of my explanation." Qiu Yu drew countless small branches on this line, and then pointed at one of them with a pen, "There will always be many things in a person's life that interfere with what he expected.
Destiny, I want to live a peaceful life, but I must have the capital to support a peaceful life." Qiuyu drew three more branches on this branch, "If I want to obtain these capitals, I can rob, work, or
I can find a place to hunt and live by myself. Which one do you think I should choose?"
Coulomb said without hesitation, "Work."
"Okay." Qiu Yu continued to draw countless branches on the branch of work, "Then should I be a traveling businessman, scientist, warrior, hunter, or settlement manager?"
"That's impossible." Jack shouted, "It's not like you can do whatever you want."
"Yeah, if I want to be a scientist, I have to spend a lot of time learning knowledge. If I want to be a hunter, I have to learn how to hunt. If I want to be a settlement manager, I don't even know where to start. So
If I just want to get the capital to survive, I can only do what I can do." Qiu Yu continuously marked the several branches he just drew with slashes, leaving only one, "In order to make money, I choose
If I want to be a traveling merchant, should I go east, south, west, or north?"
"Go north." Coulomb blurted out.
"Oh, why." Qiu Yu looked at him curiously.
Coulomb was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's how I feel."
"That's not right." Qiu Yu shook his head, "This is not your feeling, but because you met me working as a traveling merchant in the north, so you subconsciously chose to go north."
"That may be the case, but after all, you have to choose one of the four directions. It doesn't matter which direction you choose, right?" Jack always felt that with Qiu Yu's words, he felt more and more depressed.
"It's very relevant." Qiu Yu crossed the first three branches one by one. "Before choosing, because I don't know the result, I think it doesn't matter which one I choose. In fact, which one I actually choose will be affected by me.
The collection of information before departure, the boss's entrustment, the safety of the direction and other factors are affected. But let's not consider these for now, just assume that I already know the result, that is, I will die if I choose the three directions of south, east and west. So.
My ideal peaceful life will say goodbye forever."
Coulun looked at Qiu Yu with a strange face, "Why did you suddenly talk about death again?"
"Because I'm afraid that it would be too troublesome to continue to branch out into various situations. If I talk about death directly, I will no longer have to worry about a fate that I can't control. In fact, many people deceive themselves and others before they die.
"I no longer have to be dominated by fate. But...my destiny is still going on." Qiu Yu drew two other lines across the paper on the line representing the north. "Just one person's destiny is...
It was already very troublesome, but I met you in the north, so the fate of the three of us was intertwined."
Having said this, Qiu Yu turned away from his slow pace and quickly drew lines on the paper. The already complicated thread of fate began to become like a mess due to encounters with other people.
"This is the fate I understand. Every action may take countless branches, and then get further and further away from the expected main road. In front of every branch that is absolutely personal, in fact, the direction of fate has always been controlled by oneself.
In the hands of others, no one knows what is waiting for them in this direction. But even so, there are still very few completely independent personal branches. More often, after intersecting with other people's lines of destiny, they are more affected by others than themselves.
Driven by powerful destiny.”
Qiu Yu looked at the two of them.
"You should have the life you want, but driven by the fate of countless other people, you have become the current situation. And my fate is far longer than you and most of the people you have met before.
Stout, so your current destiny direction is controlled by me. But before destiny is completely framed by the absolute power of reality, it can derive other branches. For example, if you leave me now, or insist on exploring that RV, these
It is possible for your destiny to go in a completely different direction... However, you will not choose these branches, because in your judgment, those are wrong choices."
Coulomb felt that his brain and scalp were equally hot, "What do you mean..."
"Don't try to control your destiny. The road to destiny is not a broad road but a cliff. If you insist on going in your own direction, you will only be destroyed. Those who say they control their destiny are all fools who are driven by fate but don't know it. Trying to control their destiny
He is also a sheep in the tiger's mouth, a person who is blind on the cliff."
"Listen to what you say, life is indeed too boring. You can only wait to be rushed to the grave by a torrent of fate stronger than yourself?" Jack kept shaking his head, not agreeing with Qiu Yu's point of view at all.
"I didn't say that. We can't be a mantis that blocks the car, but we can be a mantis that avoids the car." Qiu Yu calmly took out a few sips of water from his bag, "Destiny is something that only needs to be learned.
Observe that when the road ahead is clear, you can seize the precious opportunity to choose and you will be able to walk on the branch of your dreams as much as possible. Many people who have achieved something and claim to have control of their destiny have seized these opportunities and completed their achievements.
The correct choices over a period of time gave me the illusion of controlling my destiny."
Jack said thoughtfully, "You mean you can't completely control your destiny, but you can always make the right choices?"
"Probably." Qiu Yu's originally firm tone was mixed with a trace of uncertainty, "It seems that I came here because I was pushed by a destiny stronger than me, and the reason why we didn't go to see that RV was because
When there was no other interference, I made what I thought was the right choice. This does explain something, but the choice I could make was only for the three of us. The line of fate that should have intersected with us...that car
Under the driving force of the unknown, will the people in the RV make the right choice..."
Coulomb was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Who's there?" Coulomb raised his gun and pointed forward.
"No." Behind the pile of withered yellow weeds not far ahead, a man who wrapped himself as tightly as the autumn heat stood up. "I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask you for some help."
The voice of the other party was quite hoarse, but you could tell it was a woman.
"Are you the only one?" Coulomb looked behind her cautiously.
"It's just me."
Although she said so, in this era, people who trust strangers have long since died. After Jack also raised his gun and pointed it at her, Coulomb spent dozens of seconds inspecting every corner where someone might be hiding.
Only then did he relax his vigilance about his surroundings a little.
"Are you a homeless person?" Jack paused and added, "The kind that eats people?"
"No, I am a slave who escaped from Bergondo."
"Bergando? That's more than two hundred kilometers away from here. How did you get here? And you were able to escape from there?"
Perhaps due to the threat of the gun, although the woman was reluctant to answer certain questions, she still said after hesitating for a few seconds, "I am indeed a homeless person, so I am more adaptable to the wild than you are, but I will never eat people. As for
How did you escape from Bergondo... Maybe you won't believe it, but the entire Bergondo has been in ruins, and there is not a single living person left there."
Jack and Coulomb glanced at each other subconsciously, and when they looked at the woman again a moment later, their eyes were filled with the anger of being fooled.
"I swear, I really didn't lie to you." She already knew that the other party would not believe such words, and the woman quickly explained, "There was an attack by some mutants that I had never seen before, and Bergondo's defense force suddenly
I was defeated. After those mutants completely massacred the entire population of Belgondo, they turned due north. The few survivors and I were lucky enough to survive because we were digging coal in the coal mines outside. The supervisor met Bell
As soon as it was over, we didn’t care anymore and we all ran for our own lives.”
"The story is very good." Jack sneered, "Do you know how many warriors and hunters there are in Bergondo? How many mutants do you need to conquer any place?"
"238."
"What?" Jack was so surprised that he could barely hold the gun in his hand.
The woman repeated, "238 professional warriors, 570 to 620 resident hunters...but they were all dead in less than ten minutes."
Jack, "..."
Jack only knew that Bergondo's combat power was very strong, but it was impossible to know the specific number. If this woman was lying, it was impossible to bet on whether she knew it with a clear number. In this case, there was only one possibility - she
