Chapter 367: I'm Waiting for the Wind, I'm Waiting for You
Stripped of the gorgeousness under the spotlight, it turns out that my cousin is also a mortal, and he will also be anxious, and he will also fall into the entanglement of life and death.
It's just that my cousin is different from most people, and my cousin pursues a moment as gorgeous as fireworks.
The girls thought.
Wang Zi'an looked down at the cemetery.
The tombstones are numerous, square, neat, and there are not many people who come to sweep the tombs today.
Yesterday should have been the most crowded.
On the way up the mountain, Wang Zi'an saw many traces of tomb sweeping in front of the tombstones.
"Come, little fairy. Wang Zi'an turned around and beckoned to Li Kexin.
The little girl had already set up the offerings, and when she heard the words, she came over.
"I have an article here, you can read it to your parents, read it to everyone. Wang Zi'an flipped the notebook to one of the pages, and then stuffed it into Li Kexin's hand.
The little girl was very obedient, did not refuse, and took the book.
Lin Yun'er on the side glanced at the notebook.
Above, my cousin's words, so handsome!
As handsome as my cousin!
Also, it is equipped with pictures, and the paintings are so handsome!
Although it is just a leaf, each is handsome in its own way!
Wang Zi'an beckoned the girls and asked them to sit down.
Li Kexin stood.
Everyone didn't know what the article was, so they were curious and hurriedly sat around.
Li Kexin stood in the circle, facing the tombstone of her parents, her voice was not loud or small, and she read:
[Spring has passed, and so has summer.
The leaves Freddie grew up.
He was broad and strong, with five strong leaf tips.
In the spring, he was still a newborn shoot, emerging from the big branches at the top of a large tree. γ
The girls were amazed, what kind of article is this?
Li Kexin continued:
[There are hundreds of leaves beside Freddy, all exactly like himβit looks like this.]
However, he soon discovered that no two leaves were really the same, even though everyone grew on the same tree.
Freddy's left is Alfre, the leaf on his right is Ben, and above his head is that cute girl, Clay.
They grew up together, learned to dance when the spring breeze blows, lazily bask in the sun in the summer, and take a clean bath when the cool rain comes occasionally. γ
It's the story of the leaves.
The girls finally understood, and they were sure.
Li Kexin didn't stop and continued to read:
[Freddie's best friend is Daniel.]
He was the largest leaf on the branch, and it seemed to grow before the other leaves came.
Freddie also felt that Daniel was the smartest.
Daniel told everyone that they were all part of the tree, that they grew in the park, that the tree had strong roots buried deep in the ground.
The birds singing on the branches in the morning, the stars, the moon and the sun in the sky, and the change of seasons, whatever it is, Daniel has a set of explanations.
Freddie thinks it's nice to be a leaf.
He loved his branches, his lithe leaf friends, his home hanging high in the sky, the wind that pushed him around, the sun that warmed him, and the moon that sprinkled his gentle white figure on him. γ
It's beautiful!
Everyone couldn't help but listen more carefully.
[Summer is especially good.
Freddie loves long, hot days, and warm dark nights are best for dreaming.
That summer, many people came to the park.
They all came to Freddy's tree and sat down in the shade.
Daniel tells him that giving shade is one of the purposes of leaves.
"What do you mean by purpose?" asked Freddie.
"That's the reason for being!" Daniel replied, "It's a reason to make people feel comfortable." Providing shade for the elderly, so that they don't have to hide in a hot house, is also a raison d'Γͺtre. Give the little ones a cool place to play and fan the picnic under the trees with our leaves...... These are the purposes of existence!"]
The girls felt that somewhere in their hearts had been touched, and the world in front of them, their lives, seemed to be clearer.
Li Kexin also gradually liked this article.
[Freddie likes the old man the most.]
They always sit quietly on the cool grass, barely moving.
They murmured, reminiscing about the past.
Children are also very amusementary, although they sometimes dig holes in the bark of trees or carve their own names.
However, it is still very enjoyable to see children running so fast and laughing so much.
But Freddy's summer was quickly over.
Just one night in October, summer suddenly disappeared. γ
Is autumn coming?
Kim Tae-hee and the others began to worry about Yezi.
These leaves are alive and will be afraid of the cold.
Really.
Li Kexin said:
[Freddie had never been so cold, and all the leaves shivered with cold.]
A thin layer of white was draped over them, and as soon as the sun came out, it melted and turned into crystal dew, making everyone wet.
It was Daniel who told them that they had just experienced the first frost in their lives.
Autumn is here, and winter is not far away.
In the blink of an eye, the entire tree, and even the entire park, was dyed in intense color, and the green leaves were barely to be found.
Alfret turned dark yellow, Ban turned bright orange, Claire was fiery red, Daniel was dark purple, and Freddie himself was half red and half blue, with a hint of gold.
How beautiful!
Freddie and his friends turned the entire tree into a rainbow. γ
The girls had a satisfied smile on their faces and a false alarm.
It turns out that the leaves make the world a more beautiful place.
What lovely leaves.
"We're all on the same tree, so why are we all different colors?" Freddie asked.
"We are all different! Our experiences are different, we face the sun in different directions, we cast different shadows, and of course our colors will be different. Daniel replied in his usual "this way" tone, and told Freddie that this wonderful season was called autumn.
One day, something strange happened.
In the past, the breeze would make them dance, but on this day, the wind tugged at the leaf stalks, almost as if they were angry.
As a result, some of the leaves were ripped off the branches, rolled into the air, scraped around, and finally fell gently to the ground.
All the leaves were scared. γ
Winter, still coming.
The girls, like the leaves, were a little scared.
"What's going on?" they muttered you ask me, I ask you.
"Autumn is like that. Daniel told them, "When the time comes, it's time for the leaves to move." Some people call this death. β
"Are we all going to die?" Freddie asked.
"Yes. Daniel said, "Anything dies." Whether it's big or small, strong or weak. Let's do what needs to be done first. We experience the sun and the moon, the wind and the rain. We learn to dance and laugh. And then we're going to die. β
"I don't want to die!" Freddie said categorically, then asked Daniel, "Will you die, Daniel?"
"Yes. Daniel replied, "When the time comes, I will die." βγ
The girls suddenly liked this Daniel very much, he was so handsome.
A wise man!
At the same time, they are also a little sad.
"When was that?" Freddie asked.
"No one knows what day it will be. Daniel replied.
Freddie noticed that the other leaves were falling, and he thought, "It must be their time." β
He saw that some of the leaves were struggling with the wind before falling, and some of them were just putting their hands down and falling quietly.
Soon, the entire tree was almost empty. γ
The girls' hearts were a little heavy, worried about the fate of the leaves.
"I'm so scared of death. Freddie said to Daniel, "I don't know what's down there." β
"It's natural that you're scared when you're faced with something you don't know. Daniel comforted him: "But when spring turns to summer, you are not afraid. When summer turns to autumn, you are not afraid. These are natural variations. Why fear the season of death?"
"Will our trees die too?" Freddie asked.
"Our tree is very strong, but one day, the tree will also die. But there is something stronger than a tree, and that is life. Life is always there, and we are all part of it. Daniel said.
"Where are we going when we die?" Freddie asked.
"Nobody knows, it's a big secret!" Daniel looked up into the distance.
"Will we be back in the spring?" asked Freddie again.
"We may not come back, but life will come back. "Daniel is confident. γ
Daniel is really handsome!
The girls looked at their cousin.
Daniel, that's my cousin.
They had never heard of it.
I've never heard a similar story.
This is what my cousin wrote!
"And what's the point of all this?" Freddie continued.
"If we're going to fall and die anyway, then why are we here?" replied Daniel, in his usual "that's how it is" tone, "for the sun and the moon, for the happy time together, for the shade of the trees, for the old man and the little ones, for the colors of autumn, for the four seasons." Isn't that enough?"
That afternoon, in the golden sunlight of the twilight, Daniel let go. γ
Reading this, Li Kexin, who had long been integrated into it, suddenly couldn't read it anymore, and cried "wow".
Daniel, she knew, was going to die.
So why should a good person, a leaf, die?
She was sad.
The girls' eyes were slightly red, and they were infected by Li Kexin, and they couldn't stop their tears.
Wang Zi'an stood up, smiled, and took the notebook in Li Kexin's hand.
He continued:
[Daniel, he walked away without a struggle.]
He seemed to smile serenely as he fell.
"Well, goodbye for now, Freddie. He said calmly, smiling. γ
The girls cried more and more sadly.
[And then there was Freddy, the only leaf left of the branch.]
Early the next morning, the first snow fell.
The snow is very soft and white, but it is very cold.
There was hardly any sunlight that day, and the days were exceptionally short.
Freddie found that his color had faded, and he had become dry and brittle.
It's been so cold all the time, and the snow feels so heavy on my body.
In the early hours of the morning, a gust of wind carried Freddie away from his branches. γ
The girls sobbed, and Freddie died.
[It doesn't hurt at all, and Freddie feels himself float down quietly, gently, softly.]
As he fell, he saw the whole tree for the first time, what a strong, sturdy tree!
He was sure that the tree would live a long time, and he was proud to know that he had been a part of its life.
Freddie landed on a snowdrift.
The snowdrifts are soft and even warm.
In this new position, he felt more comfortable than ever.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He didn't know that winter would come after spring, and that the snow would melt into water.
He didn't know that his body, which seemed dry and useless, would work with the snow to make the tree stronger.
In particular, he didn't know that what was sleeping in the trees and the earth was the vitality of the new leaves next spring. γ
At the end of the reading, the prince closed the notebook.
"I'm sorry, I should have read you an article like this three years ago. Wang Zi'an walked over and touched Li Kexin's head.
Three years ago, if she had read such an article, she probably wouldn't have lost those three years.
This is a very touching article, although there are no touching sentences in it, it seems to be written happily, but it reveals a trace of sadness.
Because leaves are short-lived, spring has just come to this wonderful world, and autumn is going to die.
Leaves Freddy, Alfred, Ben, Claire, Daniel and many other leaves love life and cherish their own lives, they know that they will die in the fall, but they still have to live from generation to generation, because they live for others, for the pleasure of helping others, for doing good deeds.
No one wants to die, including human beings, and to live is to be able to contribute.
Who doesn't admire these leaves, their selfless dedication?
It tells people to cherish life, life can not be repeated, when alive, we must pay well, so that we do not feel that life is short, so that we do not feel that life is a pity.
As early as Li Kexin began to read a few paragraphs, the girls slowly sat beside her and listened quietly.
They had already gotten what Wang Zi'an wanted to pass on.
Although their eyes are still red and sad.
This article seems to be a children's text, but in fact, it should be read more for adults.
This is a philosophical essay on life and death, about life and death, about the meaning of life.
Each leaf has its own name, and each leaf looks the same, but it is different.
The leaves go through the whole process from germination to death, and eventually they all die.
The protagonist, Fred, wonders at first why he still exists when he is going to die.
Daniel said that it is to serve others, to feel the existence of life, and to enjoy the sunshine.
Just like people, everyone will eventually die, is it just waiting to die?
Is there no point in living?
No!
Even if departure is inevitable, we must enjoy the process from birth to death, and we must also realize our value.
In fact, we don't need to give any meaning to life, just live simply.
Just be alive and enjoy the food, wear nice clothes, see the beautiful scenery, laugh with your family, hold hands with your loved ones and hug ......
All of this is what we have gained since we came into this world.
