(These chapters are very important, they are all foreshadowing, and they are written very carefully.) ）

I don't remember what I went through before, I don't know, I heard from the aunt at the orphanage that I was picked up in front of the orphanage, it was winter, the weather was very cold, and the trees were full of ice crystals. The cries of babies spread through the thick fog, and I lay in swaddling clothes, looking at this strange world with my eyes open and curious.

The orphanage aunt carried me into the orphanage, looking at the little face that was frozen and blue, I felt a lot of unbearable feelings, and I also lost my life, but I grew up under the feeding of millet porridge and porridge. I quickly learned to crawl, but I always couldn't learn to walk, until one day I learned to walk by myself holding the little Maza and swaying from side to side, and since then I can no longer sit still, and I can no longer leave the little Maza, as if the little Maza is the hand of my parents, supporting and protecting by the side, and never abandoning.

For as long as I can remember, I have been living in an orphanage, where there are many children, all like me, without a father or mother, but with a high wall, framing the whole sky in a square, blue, bordered, with white clouds flowing through from time to time, like carefree little sheep galloping across the vast grassland.

Subconsciously, I thought that all children were the same, living in a big room, each with a small bed, and a small toy hidden under the bed, and the orphanage aunt was the mother and father mentioned in the book, familiar and strange, close and distant.

Each child has only one piece of clothing, and if they need to be washed one day, they hide under the covers and watch the clothes hanging outside the window be dried by the breeze before putting them on. Suppose someone says that a child has two clothes or two toys. I must have thought it was incredible, and I thought it was the happiest thing in the world.

There is a very tall elm tree in the orphanage, I don't know how many years it has grown, I heard the orphanage aunt say that the orphanage is built around this elm tree, and the older generation of people say that there is a wood in the house is a sleepy word, unlucky. But this older generation doesn't know that elm money is good food. Every late spring and early summer. The elm tree is full of sweet elm money, and I can't help but climb the elm tree at this time. He grabbed a handful of elm money and put it in his mouth, chewing it in large gulps until tears blurred his eyes and wet his cheeks. Because this elm money is really delicious.

But I had never been out of the orphanage, and I had never seen what it was like outside the high walls. Even though I climbed to the top of the elm tree, stood on tiptoe and craned my neck to look, there was still a high courtyard wall in front of me. It's like a mountain that can never be crossed. Sometimes I think that even if I stepped over the high courtyard wall, there might still be a courtyard outside. The world is surrounded by walls, and I live in the innermost.

Life in the orphanage is not so rosy. Auntie can't take care of every child, so after turning off the lights, in the place where the aunt can't see, there are all kinds of "intrigues" between different children, and the aunt sometimes knows and won't participate too much, because she knows that some things are difficult to distinguish clearly, and more importantly, to teach us the truth of the law of the jungle. The most important thing that a group of abandoned children should learn is how to survive.

And I was the one who was bullied the most, because I never played with anyone, I was always alone, I ate alone, I slept alone, I played alone, I painted, I climbed trees alone, I wanted to see the world outside the orphanage.

It wasn't until a little boy appeared that I had a partner, a big-eyed boy with brown eyes and a straight nose, who was led into the orphanage by a man, with big black eyes and curious looks. He is happier than me, because he has a name, a birthday, his name is Gu Zhe, and his birthday is February 29, and from that time on, I know that some of the sadness is not that I don't know my birthday, but that I have a birthday every four years.

Or compared with Gu Zhe, it is my luck not to know my birthday, but this kind of luck is only something I can experience.

When I saw Gu Zhe for the first time, I was on a high tree, and when I looked down, I saw this child with a pair of good-looking eyes, in my eyes, he was a child, although I was also a child at that time. Gu Zhe raised his head to look at me, showing a good-looking smile, but I snorted coldly and continued to climb high, I hate that kind of smile, like the sunshine, like the breeze, like the scenery outside the courtyard wall, I will never get it, and I can't see it.

The orphanage aunt took Gu Zhe's little hand, pointed to me who was climbing the tree, and said that you will live with her in the future. Gu Zhe smiled again, I felt a little happy in my heart, but my face showed reluctance and boredom.

So, Gu Zhe lived on the bed next to me, and he also had a gift under the bed, which was a teddy bear he brought with him when he entered the orphanage, furry, and wanted to go up and touch it. When the lights went out at night, Gu Zhe stood beside my bed with a teddy bear in his arms, tears swirling in those eyes, and snot flowed out.

I hid in the bed, secretly saw Gu Zhe, and knew what he meant, but I didn't want him to go to bed, because I hated his smile, hated his teddy bear, and I hated his qiē.

However, Gu Zhe still had a lot of backbone, standing there without saying a word, even the crying was silent, just staring at my bed. I fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up in the middle of the night, Gu Zhe was still standing there. I am famous for my temper in the orphanage, but Gu Zhe seems to be better, I sighed, lifted the corner of the quilt, Gu Zhe burst into tears and smiled, and got into the quilt very quickly.

I felt that since he got into my bed, it should be regarded as my toy, and I felt that I had an obligation to take care of my toy, so I wiped Gu Zhe's snot and tears, and helped him stuff the quilt corners, and kissed him on the forehead, which I saw in the book, and the mother had to kiss the child's forehead before going to bed.

Gu Zhe slept soundly that night, and so did I, because I thought that I suddenly had more Gu Zhe's toy, even if I had two toys, this was the happiest thing in the world in my mind, and I thought about it again, Gu Zhe's toy teddy bear was my own teddy bear, so I was even happier, so I snatched Gu Zhe's toy with peace of mind and held it in my arms. Then Gu Zhe hugged my arm.

However, in the days that followed, I found out that having Gu Zhe's toy was one more troublesome, he and other children had a holiday, and I needed to stand up for Gu Zhe, so I became the most capable person in the orphanage. Gu Zhe hid behind me like a frightened little white rabbit. Pulling at the corner of my coat and holding the teddy bear.

However, Gu Zhe is not useless. He came from outside the orphanage, so he knew the outside world, and he told me that there were high-rise buildings outside and there was a lot of traffic. There is also one of the most peculiar places called Disneyland, which has roller coasters. There are dolls, and a mouse named Mickey Mouse and a duck named Donald Duck...... I've read ducks in books, and they're very cute, but forget about mice. The orphanage has a lot of rats at night, and they look terrible.

Gu Zhe laughed, picked up a paintbrush and drew a portrait of Mickey Mouse on paper. I just learned that there was a mouse that was very cute. Gu Zhe shook his head and said that there was another mouse that was even cuter. His name is Jerry, and he drew a portrait of Jerry on the paper, I looked at the portrait and listened to the story told by Gu Zhe, only to know that the mouse is cute and the cat is annoying. Gu Zhe shook his head again, there is a cat that is also very cute, called Doraemon, and has no ears yet.

I was confused by Gu Zhe, like a fool, I didn't know which mouse was good, which mouse was bad, which cat was cute, and which cat was annoying, so I got up angrily, walked to the yard of the orphanage, and continued to climb my own tree, Gu Zhe looked up at me under the tree as if he had done something wrong, and asked me: "Do you understand what I mean?" Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand." I replied angrily, but I knew in my heart that Gu Zhe wanted to tell me that Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were together, that Tom and Jerry were together, that Nakadoraemon and Nobita were together, and that Gu Zhe and I were together in the life of the orphanage.

Gu Zhe and I became inseparable partners in the orphanage, and wherever I appeared, Gu Zhe would follow him like a little tail. Although I was proud, I always showed impatience on my face, as if Gu Zhe was a burden that I couldn't shake off, but Gu Zhe didn't care, and followed behind with his usual smile.

One day, the idea of running out finally exploded irrepressibly in my mind, I instigated Gu Zhe to escape with me, Gu Zhe had a flexible mind, calculated the height of the elm tree in the yard, and then used the principle of leverage to send me to the courtyard wall, other children will be afraid when they stand on a high place, but the more I stand on a high place, the more excited my heart is, as if I was born to go to a high place and save zài.

Standing on the high courtyard wall, I saw the scene outside for the first time, exactly as I imagined, a forest in the distance, trees rising to the sky, a meadow standing not far away, a small stream meandering through. The more I looked, the more excited I became, and I wanted to jump out of the walls, where freedom was there, where life was, where there was what I was looking for.

But as soon as I looked down, I saw Gu Zhe's big eyes, reluctance, expectation, panic, and nostalgia, as if I jumped out of the wall, I would always come back, and I thought in my heart that if I jumped out, I wouldn't come back.

Under the gaze of those eyes, I retreated into the courtyard and said to the courtyard wall, "Wait, wait, I'll definitely go out." ”

On the roof of the only flat-roofed building in the Great Wei Palace, Lin Wan'er snuggled on Zhao Gan's shoulder, slowly telling the story of her previous life, there was me in the story, but it seemed to be telling someone else's story.

Lin Wan'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I am my childhood, isn't it cheesy?" ”

Zhao Qian subconsciously tightened his arms, and tears overflowed in his eyes: "Not bad, not bad at all." ”

"Isn't it good? Why do I always think it's very vulgar, it seems that at the beginning of the most third-rate story, except for Gu Zhe, I can't think of anyone else who can leave an imprint in my mind. Lin Wan'er said.

Zhao Qian didn't speak, and listened quietly.

Lin Wan'er closed her eyes and asked lightly, "Do you still want to continue listening?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Qian rubbed his chin against Lin Wan'er's head, as if comforting and encouraging. (To be continued)
