Chapter 463 This question does not require an answer
The next day, El went to Old Sonny's place as usual to see the seedling of Rose Sumeru.
The seedlings looked the same as before. After taking notes, she remembered what she had written yesterday and turned to ask him, "Why do you want to plant Rose Sumeru?"
He was very old, too stooped to do heavy work, and his eyesight could not see clearly. The passage of time had taken away many of his healthy qualities. When El talked to him, old Sonny did not move.
El immediately realized that he hadn't heard him at all.
"Sir -" Miss Researcher leaned close to his ear and immediately increased her volume, "Sir, are you listening? Why do you want to plant Rose Sumeru?"
Old Sonny looked at her blankly and replied loudly: "What teacup are you talking about?"
"Rose Sumeru!"
"No, I don't have a teacup like that."
El choked, covered his face, and was speechless for a long time.
She rarely looked like this. Saino, who had no patrol duties today, followed her for a while and couldn't help but smiled softly.
Yier instantly turned to look at him, his gilded eyes seemed a little embarrassed.
Sano raised his hands and said innocently: "Sorry, cough... please continue."
At first, he was just worried about Er, always worrying that it would be difficult for her to integrate into this environment. He also heard that she was studying how to raise a Sumeru rose. Out of curiosity, Sano came with Er.
She looked changed.
Sano couldn't tell what was different.
He asked: "Why did you help old Sonny grow Sumeru roses?"
The researcher lady sat on the chair and fell into deep thought as he spoke.
When I first met old Sonny, he looked a little lonely. He was sitting alone at the door holding a pot of flowers and mumbling to himself, not knowing what he was thinking. It was just when we met for the first time that I asked this question——
[I heard that you are a scholar of the Sheng Lun School. What can you do? 】
She hadn't done much research on such a topic, but maybe it was because Old Sonny's tone was too sincere, or maybe there were other reasons that she hadn't noticed herself. In short, at that time, she suddenly thought in her heart: It doesn't matter if she agrees.
The topic given by the Grass God is not over yet, so it would be a good idea to find some other research topics to spice things up.
Then as time went by, she discovered that the words that old Sonny said to her when they first met, "I heard that you are a scholar of the Life Theory School", had already made many people incredible - because he couldn't remember things at all.
The eyes are bad, the memory is bad, the ears are bad, the speech is bad, the legs and feet are bad.
It is like a tree growing beside a stream. As time goes by, all its leaves have fallen off. When winter comes, the trunk becomes bare. Soon even the tree itself will not be able to survive the cold winter of the years.
She had seen too many old people like this, and she thought she was used to such things, and would not cause any ripples in her heart.
After all, birth, aging, sickness and death...these are things that humans will always experience.
El was once blessed by the devil to transcend the scope of human lifespan and was unable to understand the pain of many people. Therefore, she could stand outside her emotions and watch the struggles of many people. Then she lowered her head and focused her eyes on her research again.
But surprisingly, she was touched.
"He is so old, and I want to know why he is so stubborn about wanting the Xumi rose to bloom." El held his head, "That's it, I'm just curious."
Seno answered her: "Perhaps that Sumeru rose carries some of his memories?"
"Is that right?"
"Maybe," he said, "like..."
He suddenly became silent.
El was a little surprised at his silence: "Maybe what?"
"No, it's nothing."
He just suddenly remembered the triangular cone.
Carrying memories...
"El, do you want to play a game of Summoning the Seven Saints?" He abruptly changed the subject, "Doing some leisure activities is good for the spirit, isn't it?"
"No." She replied, "The gap in strength between us is too big. If you beat a player of my level, would you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Sai Nuo lowered his eyes regretfully: "Okay."
They sat somewhere high up in Aru Village, chatting calmly and doing nothing for a long time.
El still doesn't understand why old Sonny planted roses.
Human emotions are always very strange and inexplicable things. They don't have a purpose like research. If you insist on exploring them, maybe the conscious old Sonny himself can't explain it clearly.
So she thought, maybe this question didn't require an answer.
