Chapter 6: Where I Can't Go Back
Maxim seemed to be in a very good mood, "We have some free time, we are going to leave before the sun sets, and now, I am going to test the others, you can take advantage of this time to go back and say goodbye to the family." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
It seems that seeing that I passed all at once, (although I myself didn't believe it), there were a lot of people who took the test at once, and he was also busy all of a sudden.
Goodbye? There's nothing in my house to say goodbye to, except that.
After all, many things can't be like the protagonists in those time-traveling novels, a sentence of "If you come, you will be safe", at least I can't do it anyway, so I made a thing and put it at home.
My house is not far from here, and I will arrive after walking for a while, but it is still the same hut, the people are different, and I don't feel much about leaving here.
Because this is not my [home] in the first place.
I put it in a wooden box, um, found it, it was something I made with my own hands, a wood carving. It took a lot of effort to make the wood carvings, a few large square wooden blocks, carved neat square windows, balconies, like a reinforced concrete building, in addition to a few miniature roads, street lamps, small cars, just like the place where I once lived, this is the only thing that I need to say goodbye to.
People, the older you get, the more homesick you become, I used to think about it, but now I don't want to, it's useless to think about it.
I'm going to think about what to do with these wood carvings.
These things can only be regarded as some works of art, other than that, they are not used at all, but this thing, for me, has great commemorative significance, these wood carvings are the only traces of my eighty-six years of history in my previous life, I should have destroyed it, but I can't do it.
It represents the place I can't go back to, and it represents my yearning.
But if you can't go back, you can't go back.
I am a ninety-two-year-old man, an old man who has experienced a complete birth, old age, sickness and death, in that process, I have cried and laughed, pained, and glorious. I miss the 35-square-meter house and the events of the past.
But I can only miss it.
And in this hut, there have been some interesting things, some small things when I first came: forcibly stuffing the soul of an adult into a child, then in the first time, the adult commanding the body must have been full of incongruity, just like me.
In the early days, I always subconsciously thought that my arm span was still the same as in my previous life, and as a result, this happened: I always reached for something, but found that my arm span was not enough, so I always had to get closer.
And at that time, I had just arrived and had not yet adapted to the world, and every morning I had to think about whether I was going to go to the nearby park to do tai chi or to feed the chickens in the chicken coop.
So, that's the end of the memories.
I laboriously moved the box, pushed it into the open space outside the gate, took a moment to light the fire, and then threw the tinder into the large box containing the wood carving.
I added a lot of flammable dead grass to it, so the fire grew up all at once.
I sat on the side and watched the flames burn the whole wooden box, and I wanted to cry.
And then really cried.
That's what I've always said goodbye to.
After calming down, he packed up what little possessions he had, and went to the village gate, "Mr. Wizard, how are the test results? Have you found anyone else who has the talent to become a wizard?" "No, no, no, I confirmed, it's just you." ”
Maxim shrugged his shoulders, "I thought I could find a good talent at the beginning, and there should be surprises later." ”
He walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "So, have you said goodbye to home?" "Whew, that's good. Mr. Wizard straightened his collar, turned his hat, and raised his wrist again to look at the time, "It's not bad, the time is just right, we can go." ”
Then he stretched out his hand, and I floated up at once, and an invisible force dragged me up.
"Cover your face, kid!" said Maxim to me, but I didn't react yet.
It didn't take long for me to know what that meant.
He flew up, pulled me up, flew in one direction at a rapid pace, and the huge wind blew on my face, and even made my face twisted, and the degree of distortion was similar to that of the rampaging comics, and I covered my face as he said。。。。。 I bet five cents, just a moment ago, my facial skin has been blown off.
It was a very fast way to go, he seemed to be manipulating the air currents to move us forward, and from his composure he didn't seem to be affected by the tremendous wind pressure, and I felt as if my fingers were stuck in the ice... It seems that he does not have the extra strength to make the flight journey of anyone other than himself a little more comfortable ...
Under the influence of the wind, I couldn't even open my eyes a little, and I could only squint a slit to look down, and the fields below had changed from large farmlands to large towns, and then they flew by, and everything as far as the eye could see was rapidly receding.
It's a very strange feeling, a slight fear of being on the ground for a long time and suddenly "ascending to heaven", mixed with a sense of excitement.
If there is no wind that can blow the face into a deformation, it is even better.
I don't know how long it took, but the wind around me suddenly became lighter, and I finally let go of my hands, which had been numb from the cold, and we were still flying, but the speed had slowed down, and we should have reached our destination, and below us, there was the coast and the harbor.
"Mr. Wizard, have we reached our destination!" "Of course! it's too far to get there!" he must have used magic, and his voice was so clear that it seemed to be in his ears, "So we have to take a boat!"
"Also!Remember one thing," "What!", "You should call me Senior now!"
We began to descend slowly, and landed on a large wooden boat at least fifty meters in length, and a sailor-like man saw us and shouted in a loud voice, "All personnel are here!" A few sailors not far away also shouted, and then I saw the captain of the ship appear, bent over Maxim, and then shouted: "Ready!"
The deck was suddenly busy, and all the sailors arrived at their posts skillfully.
And he was walking through a door, the command position in front of the ship and the position at the back of the ship were a cut above the middle deck, and he walked into the door between the rear and the deck drop, and I was sure that there was a hole in it, and I looked back at the place where I had come, and looked up at the sky again.
There's a place I can't go back to.
