    Kanshu.com,

    What is the fruit?

    I asked.

    Don't know, we can only guess the result.

    Lao Wang answered very simply. He had not taken off his mask, and the light blue surgical mask could barely cover half of his face. A pair of short black eyebrows were thick and thick, and a pair of small eyes under the eyebrows  , the dark pupils quickly scanned the surrounding environment left and right, and the short hair was still stained with water droplets. We sat by the window. Nanjing was humid and cold in winter. It was raining outside, and we could not see the rain, but we could see the transparent  The stream of water gathered on the glass, the road was deserted, the passers-by were in a hurry, umbrellas of different colors, masks of the same color.

    We met at a KFC, and I ordered two Cokes and two bags of French fries.

    Wang Ning took off his mask, took a big sip of ice-cola, and let out a long breath: Hey, the weather is so damn hot, teacher, how long have you been in Nanjing?

    It's been almost a week.

    I answer.

    It is not safe to go out these days, Wang Ning curled his lips, wondering when the diagnosis would come out.

    Director Wang, let's move on to the fruit.

    I brought the topic back on track.

    Well I'm just talking nonsense. It's just a speculative result. It has not been verified by experiments. It is not rigorous and not legally responsible. Teacher, you should listen to it as a story.

    Wang Ning had a french fries in his mouth, and the french fries turned up while talking.

    day by day¡­¡­

    Old Wang looked at me and frowned.

    Tianrui.

    I remind.

    Ah yes yes, Mr. Tianrui, what do you think the fruit is?

    I thought about it: Is it human?

    Yes, but not quite right, you may think that the fruit refers to something like the fruit of wisdom, because human beings are advanced primates, human beings have advanced intelligence, so human beings are the fruit, it is this nature that has spent millions of years  born fruit.

    Wang Ning replied.

    But the fruit is not completely human. The word "fruit" is really a fruit in the literal sense. It does not mean anything, nor is it a metaphor. Teacher, have you seen crops?  Harvesters harvest crops, such as wheat, rice, cotton and other crops. When we talk about the fruits of crops, we only refer to rice or cotton peaches, not whole plants of rice or cotton Now, teacher, if I were a crop  , then what is the fruit of the crop?

    Wang Ning pointed to himself.

    I looked up and down this man who weighed at least one hundred and forty kilograms, from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, and finally my eyes stayed on his face.

    That's right, it's here, right?

    Wang Ning nodded his head.

    It¡¯s quite simple and rough, with no twists or turns, but we thought about it for a while at the time. Our thoughts at the beginning were similar to yours. After thinking a little bit more, we also thought that the word ¡°fruit¡± refers to human beings.  But later we discovered that the fact is simpler than we imagined. In the eyes of swordsmen, we are not fruits, but crops. We are really crops, crops in the real sense, but the crops planted in the ground are  Stationary, we are moving crops.

    Having said that, Wang Ning straightened up and asked me:

    Do you think the human body looks like a crop?

    I was surprised that he was right.

    The human body is really like a crop. It stands upright on the ground and holds the heavy fruit at the highest point. It is no different from rice and wheat. There are seven billion people in the world, and there are seven billion crops, densely packed.  grow on earth.

    Throughout the evolutionary history of human beings, this crop has become straighter and straighter, and the fruits it bears have become more and more attractive.

    I stared at Wang Ning's face, and Wang Ning's image gradually changed in my eyes. He was no longer a living human being, but a succulent plant full of protein and fat. All his behaviors¡ª¡ª  Whether it is eating, studying, or working and sleeping, it is all cultivating that fruit and providing nutrition for that huge, round fruit.

    Now that the fruit is ripe, shouldn't it be time to pick it?

    The thought terrifies me.

    I quickly took a sip of iced Coke to calm myself down.

    Teacher Tianrui, your complexion is not very good-looking.

    Wang Ning reminded me.

    This fact is a little scary, and I have to calm down.

    I chewed a few mouthfuls of French fries, and then asked:

    So big eyes, that is, the purpose of swordsmen to destroy human beings, is it for headhunting?

    yes??According to the information we got later, this thing often cuts people into small pieces of 20 to 30 centimeters. We analyzed that this may be a streamlined harvesting operation, because people have different sizes  Some are fat and some are thin, but the head is always about the same size. The crops are cut into small pieces, the fruits are collected separately, and other parts are directly crushed like straw. Swordsmen are not weapons, they are probably agricultural harvesters.

    Wang Ning said slowly.

    This is a terrifying and absurd idea. It is the agricultural harvester that completely destroys human beings.

    The earth¡ªWang Ning pointed out the window, it was just a big farm, as long as the crops were mature, they would come to harvest, and after harvesting one crop, there would be another one.

    Next crop?

    I asked.

    Human beings are extinct, and sooner or later other creatures will fill the vacant space. One day, intelligent creatures will be born again on the earth, and the fruits will slowly ripen again, just like leeks.

    Wang Ning spoke very casually.

    Teacher, let's think further, do you think we are the first harvested crops on earth?  The history of the earth is 4.6 billion years. The first life appeared on the earth 3.6 billion years ago, and a brilliant civilization may not take 10 million years from birth to destruction.

    What is the function of harvesting their heads?

    I asked.

    Possibly to collect wisdom?  This question has to be asked to the swordsman, and we don't know.

    Wang Ning shook his head.

    It's scary, it's something that humans can't comprehend.

    I said.

    It is true that humans cannot understand them, but humans subconsciously know their existence¡ªjust like a newborn antelope knows that cheetahs are a deadly threat. This is a memory buried in our genes. Our thinking is produced by the brain, and the brain  As a fruit, it has the fruit of thinking consciousness, it has the instinct of fruit, and the instinct of fruit is to avoid being harvested.

    Wang Ning raised both hands and moved his fingers.

    All our actions are directed by the brain, and we can regard all the behaviors of the human group, including conscious and unconscious, as trying to escape the harvest of swordsmen.  Whether as an individual or as a group, human behavior is always outward-looking and expanding. We want to leave the earth, land on the moon, land on Mars, and develop outer space colonization because we know that we cannot stay on the earth forever  , shrinking forever on Earth will lead to the eventual demise of civilization - our brains tell us so, right?

    I nodded.

    But why is the brain telling us this?  In fact, it doesn't know where this strong impetus to break away from the origin comes from. Why do we have to go out?  Why do we think that staying on earth forever will lead to extinction sooner or later?  We think this is because of human beings' eternal exploration, curiosity, and desire to expand, so where does this desire come from?

    They come from fear, from the collective instinct of the brains as fruits, which is also the subconscious that fruits are born with, that is, if they do not escape from the cropland, they will all be harvested one day.

    Wang Ning paused, then continued:

    Any kind of animal, the purpose of trying to expand its own group is to avoid being extinct by something. This is the subconsciousness rooted in the gene. You may not know its existence, but you must be doing what it says.

    I was dumbfounded.

    This is Lao Zhao's idea, what he said is a bit sensational.

    Wang Ning added a sentence.

    Just listen to it as a story.

    I rubbed my cheeks hard. I have never used such a strange perspective to observe human groups: they are actually a group of crops, and the crops are trying to escape from the crop field under the command of the fruit.

    Since birth, they have been trying to escape here.

    But thinking about it is also the same reason. If the rice and wheat grow feet, they will definitely run away when the combine harvester drives into the field.

    I took a big sip of Coke and swallowed it down my throat. The cold drink can cool my mind down a bit, so that I won¡¯t be caught and quarantined by the temperature measuring staff when I enter the subway station later.

    So, the big eyes chasing after that girl was just an agricultural harvester harvesting the last crop?

    That's right, the behavior of the big eyes is very strange, very peculiar. From the perspective of human beings, it is a heinous monster and a terrible monster, but from the perspective of other creatures, it is simply a good friend in nature Ours  Where did it come from?

    The night of your first video call.

    I remind.

    Wang Ning nodded.

    Ok, then I will continue to talk about:; Wang Ning nodded.

    Ok, then I will continue to talk.
