Endangered

25 years ago today, Ning Jingxin was five years old, and his father Ning Haowan brought him here to see the creatures of Nilo.

Ning Haowan is a well-known researcher in the Alien Biology Park, and has won many international research awards at a young age.But at this moment, this proud son of heaven has a tired and sad face.

Over the past year, he watched helplessly that Nile Star was breached, and Nile Star creatures committed suicide in batches, and their pale, translucent corpses floated quietly on the water, like frozen souls, deeply engraved in the water. In his eyes and in his heart; he looked at the eight Nilo star creatures in his own hands, using icy instruments, overdosing chemicals, and the terrible method of pain into the bone marrow, they were forcibly rescued, with their dead souls Survive in a living body.

This is an order from the biological garden, and Ning Haowan has no ability to resist.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Ning Jingxin asked carefully, holding his father's hand.He is only five years old, and he still doesn't understand the complexity of this world.

Ning Haowan sighed deeply: "Jing Xin, what do you think of these Nile creatures?"

"They are very beautiful, just like the mermaids in fairy tales." Xiao Ning Jingxin replied.

"But, do you think they look happy?" Ning Haowan asked.

Xiao Ning Jingxin carefully observed the eight Nile creatures that were almost motionless in the museum. Their eyes were lifeless, just like the robots in the biological garden, even worse than the robots, because the robots at least They can also talk to humans and smile at them, but these Nilo star creatures are just low-level puppets who can blink, move, and breathe out bubbles.

Xiao Ningjing shook his head and said, "Not happy."

"Do you know why they are not happy?"

"do not know."

"Because we humans have usurped their homes. They have no home and no freedom. Their hearts have been completely killed by us."

"But the teachers said that we human beings are the supreme creatures in the universe. We civilized their planets for the better and happy future of mankind; we brought them back and domesticated them to maintain the ecological balance of the universe. The teacher said that these are all necessary for survival. , is correct." Xiaoning Jingxin recalled the teaching of the kindergarten teacher.

"Then do you think this is correct?" Ning Haowan looked down at his son, "I will do anything for my own survival, and I won't give other creatures any room. I can't survive or die?"

Xiao Ning Jingxin tilted his head and thought. According to the teacher, he should be right; but when he saw these sad Nile creatures, he felt that they were very pitiful.Personal thoughts and educational indoctrination quarreled fiercely in Xiao Ning Jingxin's mind, making the five-year-old child at a loss as to how to answer his father.

Ning Haowan didn't question his son, he also realized that his son was too young to understand his own thoughts, nor could he empathize with himself.He turned his eyes back to the eight sad and confused Nile creatures, self-blame and guilt were deeply carved between his brows.

The death-like eyes of the Nile star creatures...

Floating cold corpses...

Thick blood clotted on the scales...

The cold and piercing sound of cutting machines...

The black-purple potion gurgling into the body of the Nilo star creature...

The heart-piercing screams of Nilo star creatures when they were rescued...

And he, Ning Haowan's favorite, gradually became cold in his arms, which tore Ning Haowan's heart apart...

"No, it's wrong to do this..." Ning Haowan muttered to himself, shedding two lines of tears.

Ning Jingxin looked up at his father and asked at a loss, "Dad, why are you crying..."

And Ning Haowan's murmured words, traveled through 25 years, and uttered through the grown-up Ning Jingxin.

"No, these are all wrong." Ning Jingxin looked at the Nile creatures that were forced to breed by humans, and the number had increased to more than 30. The lonely figure of his father in his memory stung his nerves. And the heart, just like the face of his father when he committed suicide, was the nightmare of his life.

He will never forget that day, he was beaten up by his classmates again at school, because his father Ning Haowan did something, something considered by this society to harm the survival of the entire race.Ning Jingxin's classmate has used this reason to beat Ning Jingxin for many years, and while beating Ning Jingxin called Ning Jingxin "bad!"

Ning Jingxin was only 12 years old at the time, hadn't grown up, and was small in stature, so there was no way to resist so many people.But even though he was beaten, he still didn't cry, he just covered his wound and went to the self-service medical station.

"Don't let Dad worry." Ning Jingxin thought, and applied trauma medicine at the medical station.

The medicine took effect very quickly, but it was also extremely painful.The little Ning Jingxin gritted her teeth so as not to cry out in pain.

For so many years, Ning Haowan has been abused and tortured by all kinds of people until he is out of shape, yet he is already emaciated like seventy when he is less than forty. This is simply unbelievable in the 24th century.Ning Jingxin is a sensible child and loves his father very much, so he never let his father know that he was bullied by his classmates at school, even if it was all because of his father.

After Ning Jingxin treated the wound, she pretended to be happy and went home, just like she had done in the past few years.

"Father, I'm back! What's there to eat today!" Ning Jingxin happily pushed open the door, but the scene in front of him made his head thump with fright——

Ning Haowan was lying on the ground, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were wide open lifelessly, and there were pills scattered all over his surroundings.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you! Daddy!" Ning Jingxin rushed over and fell to the ground, pushing Ning Haowan desperately, but what he touched was cold and stiff.

"Dad, why are you so cold..." Ning Jingxin was dizzy and couldn't breathe anymore. He pinched his neck while continuing to push his father, "Dad, wake up, wake up, you are so cold ah……"

"Brother Ning, why are you here?" Meng Tianwei's exclamation brought Ning Jingxin back to reality.

Ning Jingxin staggered slightly in shock, and then showed a brilliant smile: "Xiao Meng, Xiao Zhu, wow, there are so many children! How are you!"

"Hello, brother!" The children's mouths were sweetened by Ning Jingxin's goblin face.

Meng Tianwei cleared his throat and said, "My friends, the father of this big brother is the hero who rescued and successfully tamed the creatures of the Nile star. The big brother also heard a lot about the creatures of the Nile star from his father when he was young. So let's let this big brother tell us about the creatures of Nile Star today."

"Good!" The children were excited.

Ning Jingxin couldn't refuse, so he explained to the children the knowledge about the creatures on the Nilo planet with an innocent smile on his face: "The creatures on the Nilo planet grow in water, are gentle by nature, and are not good at fighting..."

I don’t know whether it’s Ning Jingxin’s good looks, or his explanation level is particularly high, or a combination of both. The children are fascinated by listening to it like watching a cartoon, and their big eyes are like little stars. Shiny.

When Ning Jingxin finished his explanation, he won a round of applause.

"Thank you, kids." Ning Jingxin simply ended his explanation.

"Big brother, you are awesome! I will also be an alien biological scientist like you in the future!" A little boy raised his hand and said.

"Yes, I want it too!" Another little boy echoed.

"I also want!"

"Me too!"

All of a sudden, all the children in the audience were chattering about wanting to be a researcher of extraterrestrial biology.

Ning Jingxin looked at these innocent future stars of human beings, smiling like flowers on the surface, but heart-piercing on the inside.

When the kindergarten visiting team was finally sent away, Ruan Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over, it's really tiring to take care of the children."

"Yes, yes, these children are really good at making trouble." Meng Tianwei poked his ears, he was really fed up with the screaming of these children today, "Oh, Brother Ning, why are you here today? .”

Ning Jingxin said casually: "Let's see my dad's last glorious record."

He does not mean that.

Ruan Xiaozhu and Meng Tianwei looked at each other, because they all remembered something about Ning Jingxin's father, and it was not a good thing.

"Oh oh so that's it," Meng Tianwei quickly changed the subject, "Then Brother Ning, you are here, who will watch that dog play maliciously?"

Ning Jingxin raised his eyelids and said, "His name is Fahite, not 'that dog thing'. He is now playing his Glücke in the zoo. There are surveillance cameras watching, and the alarm system and defense system are on. , don't worry, it's okay."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Meng Tianwei felt that Brother Ning was really reliable.

But Ruan Xiaozhu over there was puzzled.

She asked, "Senior brother, does the Eveticia creature you are responsible for play the violin?"

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Ning Jingxin also responded with a puzzled expression.

"No, it's not a human, how can it play the violin? It's just a creature."

"Take it as its toy. Cats and dogs have toys, so why can't it have them?" Ning Jingxin said lightly.

"But, you said it was playing the violin, playing—the violin." Ruan Xiaozhu refused to let go.

Ning Jingxin glanced at her: "Don't imitate old people's words at a young age. You just need to know that he is playing with a toy. It doesn't matter which verb you use."

What else did Ruan Xiaozhu want to argue, but Meng Tianwei hurriedly said calmly: "Hey, it's not important, the important thing is that dog - Fahite is doing very well under our domestication. Let's go, let's go together Let's go eat, I'm tired and hungry after a day of trouble with the children."

Then he pulled Ruan Xiaozhu over and whispered as he walked towards the restaurant: "Xiaozhu, let me tell you, Brother Ning's way of domesticating that Ephtisia creature is really unbelievable, how can I tell you? Well, Brother Ning, he has always regarded that dog thing as a human being, he..."

Ning Jingxin ignored Ruan Xiaozhu and Meng Tianwei who were muttering and biting their ears, but turned to take a deep look at the Biological Museum of Nilo Planet.

Ning Jingxin seemed to see his father who pulled him out of the biological museum 25 years ago under the shadow of the blue sea water. On his father's face, it was clearly written that he wanted to change this "human beings first, civilization for the people". determination of the status quo.

The author has something to say: "Garden Tour" and "Dream" are probably the two most beautiful chapter titles in this article =w=
