Ultra: I am too old to inherit the light of the sky

"Weird guy! I'm back!"

With his body covered in filth, Xiao Si carelessly carried a deer towards his wooden house.

His face was full of joy.

"He's back."

Ai Yun carried a bucket of water that had just been fetched, scooped out some water from it, washed his hands, and looked at the boy with a smile on his face.

There was cold sweat on his right hand, but he didn't show anything strange on his face. He just looked at the other person with a smile on his face.

"This is the first day, I will call you more next time!"

Xiao Si hummed, took the water ladle from Ai Yun's hand and poured it on his head. After letting out a comfortable moan, he looked at the other party.

"Weird guy, what did you mean this morning...master?"

After a day of hunting today, this was the only thing that kept Xiaosi concerned.

Judging from Ai Yun's spoken language, this seems to be a title.

"Master..."

Ai Yun touched his chin and looked at Xiaosi with a smile.

"How about you go and bake it first, and then we can talk while we eat?"

"okay!"

Xiaosi chuckled, carried the deer and ran towards the kitchen. After lighting a fire, he began to handle the deer skillfully.

Ai Yun stood at the door of the kitchen, leaning on the door with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Master, he is the one who teaches you knowledge and skills."

Although Xiaosi was handling the deer, his ears were perked up and he listened carefully to Ai Yun's words with a bit of curiosity on his face.

"I know knowledge, but what is my ability?"

"What a skill..."

Ai Yun's eyes became more thoughtful.

"Skills are skills that can make your life better, such as hunting, literacy, and...being a human being."

"Be a human being?"

Xiaosi didn't understand the meaning at all and tilted his head to express his confusion.

"But, aren't I already a human being now?"

"Different."

Ai Yun was sitting on the wooden stake. He was about to say a few words when he felt the pain coming from his lungs. His expression did not change, but his movements paused for a moment, making Xiaosi's expression somewhat unclear.

"Hey, that... weird guy, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaosi felt a little confused, stopped what he was doing, and was about to run towards Ai Yun's position.

"It's okay, you continue."

Ai Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his lungs, and then looked at Xiao Si with a smile on his face.

"Where did I just say that?"

"Be a human being."

Although Xiaosi was a little worried about Ai Yun's situation, since the other party said it was fine, if he continued to ask, he would seem a little ungrateful.

For this strange guy, Xiaosi still respected him very much.

"Yes, be a human being."

Ai Yun nodded.

"You asked before, aren't you already a human being now? What I'm telling you now is that you are a human being in this way, not that person."

Xiaosi scratched his head, with a confused look on his face.

Why can't I understand what Ai Yun said?

"Although you are alone now, you don't know how to behave. You are just acting on your own instincts."

"Then how should I behave?"

Xiaosi was a little confused. If he followed what Ai Yun said, wouldn't his previous life be no different from that of a wild beast?

This realization made Xiao Si feel a little hard to accept.

"If you want to know how to be a human being, just learn, observe, and think. The world is very big, and you can't just focus on this one-third of an acre."

Ai Yun looked at Xiao Si seriously. If he was gone one day, then Xiao Si must have the power to protect himself.

The law of the wilderness is that the weak eat the strong. If Xiaosi is not strong enough, he will only become food for others in the end.

Moreover, he still doesn’t understand now

"I don't understand."

Xiaosi lowered his head. Ai Yun's words were a bit too profound for him, and he couldn't understand the meaning yet.

"It doesn't matter, you will understand later."

Ai Yun didn't expect that he could make Xiaosi understand these truths in just a few words. If that was the case, it would be strange.

"Now, let's roast the venison first. I'm very hungry."

"okay!"

Hearing what Ai Yun said, Xiaosi didn't think much more and started roasting the venison with concentration.

Ai Yun was sitting aside, watching Xiaosi's movements with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Weird guy, the venison is roasted, you can try it."

Not long after, Xiao Si cut off a piece of venison and handed it to Ai Yun, with an expectant look on his face.

Ai Yun was not polite, took the venison and started eating.

"Yes, your skills have improved again."

Hearing Ai Yun's praise, Xiao Si's face suddenly showed an excited look.

"Really? Then eat more!"

With that said, Xiao Si cut off another piece of venison and handed it to Ai Yun.

The two of them just sat by the fire, eating venison, and occasionally talking to each other. The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

Looking at this kid, Ai Yun showed a bit of smile in his eyes.

"Where did we talk yesterday?"

Now, after the loss of soul power, Ai Yun's memory decline has long been inevitable. He looked at Xiao Si and asked with a smile.

"Where? Oh, after Sera died, the man named Ji Yajun was fighting alone in the dark."

Xiao Si thought for a while and said to Ai Yun.

"Yes, that's right there."

Ai Yun took a sip of water and moistened his throat.

"Xiaosi, do you think Ji Yazhun did the right thing?"

"I……"

Xiaosi wanted to say it was very stupid, but it was obvious.

If you were the other party, there would be no problem in saying this, but...

What if I were one of the weak ones protected by him?

Looking at Ai Yun, Xiao Si pursed his lips. He would not say such words at this time anyway.

"Why, do you find it difficult to answer?"

Ai Yun looked at Xiaosi with a bit of a smile on his face. He knew this boy's character very well.

"I...I don't know."

Xiaosi lowered his head, not daring to look into Ai Yun's eyes.

"It doesn't matter. There is no standard answer to this question. Everyone has their own ideas. You just need to do things according to your own wishes."

Ai Yun didn't mean to blame Xiaosi, he just wanted to guide him to think about some issues.

"Well, weird guy, do you think he did the right thing?"

Xiao Si looked at Ai Yun curiously, wanting to know what he was thinking.

"I?"

Ai Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I think what he did was right and wrong."

"What does it mean?"

Xiaosi looked at Ai Yun in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

"He sacrificed himself to protect others. To a certain extent, this is a great behavior, but from another perspective, his behavior seems a bit stupid."

Ai Yun explained slowly.

"why?"

Xiaosi became more and more confused.

"Because he has not found a fundamental solution to the problem and is just sacrificing himself blindly. If this continues, the problem will still exist and may become more serious."

Ai Yun looked at Xiao Si and said in a serious tone.

"Then...what should we do?"

Xiaosi looked at Ai Yun in confusion. He didn't know the answer to this question.

"We should find the root of the problem and solve it fundamentally. Only in this way can we truly make the world a better place."

Ai Yun said slowly.

"The root of the problem? What is that?"

Xiaosi scratched his head, with a confused look on his face.

"You need to find the answer to this question yourself. Everyone's understanding is different. I can only tell you so much."

Ai Yun looked at Xiaosi with a bit of a smile on his face.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go and rest early. We have to go hunting tomorrow."

With that said, Ai Yun stood up and walked towards his room.

Xiao Si looked at Ai Yun's back with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"Weird guy!"

"Ok?"

"Can I call you Master?"

Ai Yun was stunned and slowly turned his head. The expression on his face looked a little stunned under the light of the bonfire.

"of course."

"Humph!"
