On the surface of the river leading to this water, the aquatic plants under the water grow very densely, and all of them grow at a sloping slope in the direction of the current. They are completely alive, entrenched in the water like "dragons and snakes", or swinging leisurely from side to side, or sinking and floating rhythmically. Since these "dragon snakes" can easily entangle the hands and feet of swimmers, no one who is so good at water as his father will not dare to enter without permission.

The father drifted forward at a very uniform speed, the river parting obediently at his head and shoulders, and closing consciously behind him, without a single splash or sound, and if he closed his eyes, he could not feel that man was constantly moving. From time to time, my two little feet touched the aquatic plants under the water, some of them were slippery, some of them had small spikes, and some of them were fluffy, but when I looked down from the water, the colors of these aquatic plants were extremely bright, and the unique green color was probably nowhere to be found except in the water.

About a minute later, my father carried me to a "me-only" water. The water here is crystal clear, and the white clouds falling in the water seem to be whiter and clearer than in the sky; The surface of the water here seems to be still, but the aquatic plants under the water are constantly struggling, as if trying to get rid of the constraints of the current; The river lotus here, as rich in texture as jade, the round leaves are slightly larger than the enamel plate, the oil green is flushed with tender yellow, and it is flattened on the water surface in groups of three or five, looking at it seems to be a quiet posture, making people want to sit on it and let the river breeze blow. At this time, I have seen one or two flowers that are about to come out of the water, which seem to be more interesting than blooming, perhaps because the water temperature here is much higher than the middle of the river, which makes people feel like they are in the warm ocean.

As soon as my father stopped his body as he had done before, there were many small fish kissing my two little feet in the water, which were itchy and crispy, and very comfortable.

"Son, if you change places, do you have an urge to applaud?"

"That's right! Daddy, there's a faint mint smell here, and there are a lot of small fish pecking at my little feet in the water. ”

"The nose is sharp enough, and the faint fragrance of the lotus leaves can be smelled, so the little fish swim to show you favor and congratulate you."

"Hehe, when the little fish first pecked, it scared me, and then the more I pecked, the happier I felt."

"Heh, just be happy. Do you remember what you were going to ask Daddy just now? ”

"Daddy, my mother's place is so beautiful, and you are so smart, take me to see it."

"Well, the memory is not bad. Human intelligence is limited, and people cannot go to another world with their feet. ”

"Aren't there roads connecting the worlds? So how did Mom get to another world? ”

"There is a way, but this road can only be walked with the heart."

"Isn't the mind used for thinking and remembering, how can it walk?"

At this time, my father's body shook slightly on the water, because a red dragonfly wanted to stand on the tip of his nose, he "poofed", and the dragonfly reluctantly flew to a nearby lotus leaf and stood, as if listening, as if watching; The gusts of river wind seem to blow a pair of thin feathers, and its slender feet firmly grasp the leaf to keep its body balanced, which is lovely; It wasn't until a waterfowl swooped down on it that it flew away in a panic. My father must have seen this touching scene, for he went on after a long time before he said, "Of course you can walk with your mind, and you are more agile than your feet." ”

"How is it possible to be more agile than your feet? You can still run on your feet. ”

"Anything is possible. Did you see the dragonfly just now, it can walk with its feet and fly with its wings, isn't its wings more agile than its feet? ”

"How can a man walk and fly like a dragonfly without wings?"

"People have wings, and people's wings are the heart, and as the saying goes, 'dance the wings of the heart'."

"I heard Sister Mengke and them reading texts at home at night, and they said, 'Please put a pair of wings in my heart, I want to fly!' Is that what it means? ”

"Boy, you can't remember what you read, but you remember what you heard, there is a future! This is not the same as what I just said, but if the mind can neither walk nor fly, wouldn't it be superfluous to give it wings? ”

"It seems so. Daddy, teach me to walk with my mind, no, it's better to be able to walk and fly like a dragonfly! ”

"I want to learn to fly before I know how to walk, do you think it's possible?"

"Well, it seems that it can't, then you can teach me to walk with my mind first, Daddy, please."

"It's not an easy thing to do, and it takes a lot of preparation."

"Won't you teach me everything?"

"It's hard to learn if you're so anxious. There are two doors in the other world, one to the light and one to the darkness, eternal darkness. ”

"Then I'll just go through the door that leads to the light?"

"Think beautifully! This door of light is not something that can be entered if you want to. ”

"What does that need?"

"You must have a kind, loving heart."

"Daddy, just don't do bad things, only do good things?"

"Yes, and it is not until many, many good deeds have been done that the human mind slowly learns to walk."

"How long does it take? Will my mother be in a hurry in that world? ”

"The length of time is man-made. Mom is very patient and will keep an eye on it, because she also wants to get the gift you have to give her. ”

"Oh, I'm relieved. Daddy, I won't see my mother until I learn to walk with my heart, will I? ”

"That's how it should be." At this moment, tears were faintly flowing in the corners of his father's eyes, and he poured his head and face into the water for five or six seconds before he continued: "However, you can communicate and communicate with your mother emotionally in this world, but you must abandon the estrangement generated by history, and it will take a certain amount of time; It is very difficult to make a judgment about right and wrong when it comes to emotional things that are simply 'drawing the line' or even right and wrong. ”

"Didn't I understand it too well, but I thought it in my heart?"

"Very religiously thought. In short, as you grow older, you will be like Daddy, with a tolerant heart, free to telepathize with people who live in another world and miss you so much! ”

Holding a spinning top in my left hand and picking up a kite in my right hand, I walked happily on the road to the production team's threshing floor, while my mind flashed back to the scene when I was talking to my father on the water.
