"The first point is also the one that I think is relatively easy to accept." When he spoke, Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia a little apologetically. She was indeed deliberately preventing the other party from staying, and she couldn't tell why - maybe it was just because she wanted to take Bohemia with her. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty at the thought of breaking her expectations. "...The people here are indeed part of the natural cycle, literally." "What do you mean?" Bohemia leaned closer. "The mushrooms here are in a dominant position, right? But even they don't have the same unscrupulous status as humans did on the earth before. Oh, you don't know-" Lin Sanjiu pondered for a few seconds before explaining: " In short, judging from the information we have received, when mushrooms are alive, they must purify the air, accommodate residents, and maintain social operations; after they die, they must turn into soil nutrients and provide supplies... You see, their skin will be peeled off Come down and become raw materials for pavement, clothing, etc. Even mushrooms are like this, but what about humans?" Doctor Cat let out a long yawn, and then washed his face with his paws for a while. There could be no more boring subject for it than the current conversation. "Human beings cannot just enjoy the benefits in this society without any obligations. This is different from the past human society on earth. People here have to give something back to nature after taking it from nature..." "So it is What?" Bohemia's heart had been hanging for a long time, and she became angry: "You still have to talk about the topic!" Lin Sanjiu sighed: "Have you forgotten? You told me that? Well... After the people here die, there is no funeral ceremony or burial. They will only become nutrients... for new mushrooms to grow." Lao Da from the garbage dump secretly obtained so many corpses and wanted to transport them. The mushroom city was born because he knew that new mushrooms would grow from those corpses. Lin Sanjiu still remembered that many of those corpses were elderly people, which meant that the proportion of natural deaths among them was probably not low; those corpses that died of natural causes were probably originally buried casually in a place where mushrooms needed to grow. of place. Bohemia tilted her head, her big golden brown eyes twinkling slightly. "That's it?" She didn't seem to take it seriously at all. "You are dead, why do you care where you are buried? Isn't this the case with other animals and plants? Just you people from the old world. Some people are so pretentious that when they die, they have to pour chemical materials into coffins. I have seen coffins that even bugs can’t bite through. When they are dug up a hundred years later, they will still be a plastic-like corpse. It’s just a big piece that can’t be disposed of. It's garbage, it's disgusting. Let me see, you people from the old world are all spoiled." Doctor Cat turned to look at Lin Sanjiu. Although the cat couldn't smile, its whiskers were growing. Trembling for a while. Even if he expected the informality of Bohemia, Lin Sanjiu was still a little embarrassed. "What kind of messy burial methods are there in the twelve realms - no, listen to me, funerals are not just pretentious... This is a way for human beings to try to understand life and death. Things die as things live, the essence Above, it’s because we miss life so much and don’t understand why it will eventually pass away. In other words, we regard our lives as infinitely important, so we take death that ends life so seriously... We hope that death is life The other side." She said this, took a breath, and found that Doctor Cat was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. "After humans' fear and fascination with death disappear, death itself becomes insignificant, and the subsequent psychological impact is that life becomes less precious." She was afraid that Bohemia would not understand it. , had to give an analogy: "For example, if you have a lover - forget it, let me change an example. For example, if you have a pair of earrings, it doesn't matter if you lose them. Then when you own them, will you feel that they are very rare? ?" Bohemia shook her head, and her big dark green stone earrings jingled for a while. "This is the second point I discovered. People in the mushroom society attach great importance to the meaning of life, but in fact they don't value life that much - it's very contradictory, isn't it?" "How do you know?" She was a little confused Not convinced. "I found several clues that can prove this." Lin Sanjiu was waiting for her to ask, and quickly replied: "The Lobster Body Repair Center only has some very basic facilities, such as ointments, hospital beds, and bandages. Something like that. It is obviously supposed to be a substitute for a hospital, but in fact, if you have a slightly more complicated disease, you may not be able to see it at all. When I took the puppeteer in, I felt strange... There was no one on duty. Doctors and nurses don’t have physical examination equipment or first aid facilities. They can’t even compare to the medical room in exodus...” She raised her eyes and looked at the closed experience hall not far away, and said, “So, I just put everything in and out of the experience table. I went through all the occupations. Garbage worker, strawberry farmer, writer, molecular deconstructor... There are all the occupations, but there are no doctors or nurses." Bohemia pursed her lips and said nothing. "Meijia was beaten so badly. It stands to reason that she should be sent to the hospital, right? After all, she is just an ordinary girl physically and has not evolved. But in her memories, she just 'did not go to school and recuperated at home.' …I was sure at that time that she didn’t go to the hospital because people here don’t have the habit of going to the hospital.” “Then what should I do if I get sick?” Bohemia raised her head and asked. "I guess what people here do when animals in nature get sick is what people here do," Lin Sanjiu replied simply, "Maybe there are a little more treatment methods.

The living environment here is good, and people are not so prone to problems - but the natural decline that comes with age cannot be delayed. "Doctor Cat suddenly opened his eyes at some point and added: "That's right, if you live until the day you die, you will die. What are you worried about?" I really don't understand you. You are obviously still alive and well, but you worry about death every day..." It fell asleep again while talking. It seemed that it was really bored. Bohemia looked at it and said, Without saying anything - for the children of the Twelve Worlds who already lacked proper medical care, this might not be a big enough impact. Lin Sanjiu decided to remind her of another thing. "Do you remember that old lady? "How could I forget?" "Bohemia's expression changed. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "The moment she opened the door, she looked in good spirits. Even if she wasn't childish-looking, she was still strong. But when she recognized us as the wanted men on TV...she acted like it was her last day. Lin Sanjiu frowned, "I felt something was wrong at that time." She looks like she is only sixty years old. In modern human society, old age has just begun... There is nothing wrong with her. Why is she forcing us to keep reminiscing about the past and eating the dishes we used to cook as if her time is running out? ? The most surprising thing was that after reminiscing, she actually died - so suddenly. "Bohemia straightened up like an owl who discovered the enemy's situation: "What do you mean..." "Yes, I finally understand now. She found out that we were wanted criminals and decided on the spot to risk her own life to keep us. "This sentence naturally led to more questions - Bohemia was not slow to respond and immediately asked: "Can a living person die at the drop of a hat? What do you mean when you say she risked her own life to keep us...? "The first answer is, yes." Lin Sanjiu tapped her temple, "The will generated by the human brain is extremely powerful... If your brain doesn't think that your left leg can move, then you will really become a cripple. Besides, Her situation is probably a little different from ours. What a different approach, that’s the answer to your second question. Do you still remember what happened to the old lady’s body? She didn't turn into a zombie, although her body did 'walk' to the window and break in half... At that time, something poured out of her body. You should have guessed what it was by now. ? Bohemia was startled and said softly: "...Spores?" "
