I woke up after 300 million years

The dim sunset and the cold wall.

His vision returned to normal, Yan Fan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared at the girl who spoke in disbelief.

This girl is not beautiful, she is thin and petite, with some freckles on her face. She is wearing a thin yellow cloth, has long light blue hair, and has a sweet smile on her face.

The girl caressed the forehead of the boy on her knees, her eyes filled with peace and motherly love.

"Mu Mu!" Yan Fan reached out and wanted to touch the girl, but it penetrated her.

On the other hand, Yan Fan, who was lying on the girl's lap, lazily opened his eyes and yawned.

"Sister Mu, you haven't gone back yet."

"The day after tomorrow is your sixteenth birthday. I want to ask you, what gift would you like?"

"A gift? No, it's not my birthday."

"No! Sixteen is the stage of adulthood, and my sister wants to give you a gift you like!"

"But...there's nothing I like."

"Then think about it tonight and tell me tomorrow morning."

The boy and the girl were chatting while walking down the hill.

Yan Fan froze on the spot, looking at the back, his eyes red unknowingly.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Urk's mouth, "The city-state of mankind... We seem to have entered Yan Fan's memories. Others cannot see us, and we cannot touch objects. It is not difficult to judge from the content of the conversation, Yan Fan is less than sixteen years old... Who is that girl? Do you care about her? "

Yan Fan said nothing, ignored everyone, and followed the young man unhurriedly.

......

The boy returned home, a simple place.

"Mom! Mom! Mom..." The young man called his mother when he entered the door.

Indoors, a woman was weaving. She raised her head and asked, "Xiaofan, why did you come back so late?"

"I finished my work at Uncle Mu's blacksmith shop and went to play on the hills with Sister Mu Mu. I was too tired and fell asleep." The young man informed clearly, and took out three coins and handed them to his mother.

"Today's wages, Uncle Mu said that I work quickly, so he gave me an extra one."

The woman rubbed her son's head and said softly:

"You, don't work too hard. We still have your dad and I at home. We don't need you to make a lot of money. You should make more friends with people of your age."

"Not interested." The young man sat on the wooden chair, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip. "Uncle Zhang San's son is clamoring to be a knight every day. He is just like the stupid guy. Aunt Li Si's son is a bully. , I’m not at odds with him. Uncle Wang Wu’s son, well~ he has a better personality, but he doesn’t like to talk to us. He exercises all day long and says that he will protect the city and kill giants in the future.”

"I like Mu Mu, she is like my biological sister, she is so kind to me, and she even said she would prepare a coming-of-age gift for me when I turn sixteen!"

The woman smiled and said, "Then I will go and discuss with your Uncle Mu to let Mu Mu marry you?"

"No!" The young man refused without hesitation.

"Why? Don't you like Mu Mu?"

"Mom, like is not love. Look at me. Apart from being able to blacksmith, farm, and cut wood... I have accomplished nothing. I have no ability to make Mu Mu happy, and I don't want to get married. I am fine by myself, free and unrestrained. , stay with you and dad."

"You, you... When I was your age, I was already married to your father. It's difficult to be alone. After all, I need a companion to support each other and spend the rest of my life together."

......

The next day, the sky was not beautiful and it was raining heavily.

The boy stood next to a mound, his face expressionless, his red and swollen eyes full of sadness.

After the funeral, the boy went to see Uncle Mu alone.

The burly man was forging iron to numb his nerves. His rough palms were reddened by the high temperature, and he remained silent.

After a long time, the man put down the iron tool in his hand and turned to look at the young man.

"Last night, she said she wanted to give you a gift and ran out of the city secretly. When she was discovered, she had only one arm and a piece of kyanite left. The giants killed her."

"sorry."

"Mu Mu likes you very much. She always wanted to have a younger brother, but her mother died too early."

"sorry."

The burly man walked on the chair, poured a glass of water and drank it. He was silent for a long time and said in a hoarse voice:

"I don't blame you. Living in this huge 'cage', our lives don't belong to us... If you don't say this, you will be sixteen tomorrow. What are your plans and dreams for the future? "

The young man shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I should be ordinary in the future."

The burly man lowered his head and took out a yellowed black and white photo, with a tear falling on the photo.

"Child, can you really accept that you are an ordinary person?"

......

After that, the young man went to Mu Mu's grave every day to stay in a daze.

......

"Uncle Mu, are the giants very powerful?"

"They can destroy a hill with one punch, and humans are as insignificant as ants in front of them!"

"Then why don't we resist?"

"Children, if people stay in the darkness for too long, they will be afraid of the light; if they stay in the light for too long, they will be afraid of the darkness. We are always used to a certain state of life and don't want to change... because change represents pain and sacrifice. Represents the unknown... Human beings have resisted, but failed. The painful lessons learned time and time again have made humans no longer resist, and feel... This is good."

......

At night, the boy went to fetch water alone. Standing at the mouth of the well, he heard a frog croaking.

He looked down into the well and saw a frog lying on a raised, smooth stone, looking up at the night sky.

......

Early in the day, the boy went to the hill and stayed in front of the mound, while childhood scenes emerged frame by frame.

[Yan Fan, do you yearn for the outside world? 】

[Not interested. Being with my sister and my parents every day is everything to me. 】

[Sister is quite yearning for it. I heard... there is a big, big kingdom with many, many races. Human beings pursue the extraordinary, explore mysteries, and fight against gods. 】

[Fight against gods? Shouldn’t we pray devoutly for God’s protection? 】

[Then...have the gods protected us? 】

......

[Yan Fan, when you become an adult, leave here with your sister, okay? 】

[Why do you want to leave? 】

[Because, my sister doesn't want to stay in this 'cage' anymore... When you step out, the world is in front of you. If you can't get out, the world is in front of you. 】

......

After concentrating his thoughts, the young man went to the blacksmith shop.

"Uncle Mu, I want to go out, but I don't know if I should."

The burly man was startled, then took out a coin and said, "I don't know, then let fate decide. If it's heads, go out, and if it's tails, stay."

With a clang, the burly man bounced the coin, and the two sides quickly flipped in the air.

When the coin hit the ground, the boy was gone.

The moment the coin was tossed, he truly understood his heart.

......

After returning home, the young man took some dry food and left the city.

Not far away, he heard shouts and saw his parents on the battlements.

"Xiaofan, where are you going? There's chaos outside the city. The empire is fighting the giants. You're not allowed to leave. Come back!"

The yellow sand filled the sky. The young man stopped, clasped his hands, raised his head, and shouted loudly with tears streaming down his face:

"I am sixteen years old and an adult. I have my own pursuits and ideals. I want to explore the extraordinary, I want to uncover the mysteries of the world, and I want to become the light of mankind!"

If you don't win by lying down, you have to stand up and run without stopping for a moment.

The boy left.

Yan Fan and ten others followed the young man until the strong wind blew up the yellow sand and blocked the way ahead, then they stopped.

Looking at the young man himself, Yan Fan waved his hand as if saying goodbye... vaguely, a figure accompanied the young man, with long light blue hair and a sweet smile... facing Yan Fan. Fan waved his hand.
