Chapter 32: A real-life version of utopia
When I came to the foot of the mountain, the moonlight sprinkled every inch of the land here, although it was night, I could even see the stones under my feet, I chose a smooth stone to sit down, opened the beer and took a sip, closed my eyes and enjoyed the aftertaste for a long time, this taste is too precious for me now, I think I was the one who drank beer as a drink, and now I .......
After only taking a sip, I put down the beer can, I want to drink it for a long time, because I think I will stay here for a while, and this place I like is coming less and less, sometimes I really want to bury myself here, as long as I am accompanied by the green mountains and green waters, it doesn't matter if the tombstone is or not!
I lay on the rocks with my hands behind my head, looking at the moon in the sky, dazed for a while.
The night had just come, and it was already so quiet that every now and then some dead leaves would fall, but I couldn't make any movement, but some dew would fall down the branches and leaves, dripping on my face, making me feel cold.
I gradually quieted down, and at the moment I thought of the brand story I wanted to create for the "first encounter" coffee shop, and I felt confident that I could write this brand story very well, because there will be a lot of personal experiences in it, and when a person creates himself with words, he must be the most serious and emotional.
.......
After a while, I had seen enough of the moon, and I changed my eyes to see the scenery at the foot of the mountain, and although it was autumn, many of the trees were still full of life.
Not far from me, I saw a girl, dancing under the moonlight and falling leaves, judging from her dancing posture, she should be a professionally trained person, but at the moment there is no other audience except me, maybe she doesn't need an audience, just to express her emotions.
She ended the dance with a spin and graceful end, and I couldn't help but applaud her, and I was thankful that it was a gift for me to be able to see this dance under the moonlight and falling leaves on such an autumn night, so that I don't have to be too lonely.
The girl then discovered my presence, and looked at me, but we were a little far apart, and the moonlight was bright, after all, it was night, and we couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and I shouted to her, "Dance well.......
The girl was a little scared: "Who are you?" β
I smiled and asked, "It's understandable that I'm a man who came here in the dead of night to have fun, why did you come here from a girl's house!" Aren't you afraid of the dark? β
"There was a party at school recently, my program was to perform dance, it's quiet here, come here to practice!"
"Then you've come to the right place, the fallen leaves, the moonlight, the autumn wind, all of this makes your dance just now very meaningful, amazing!"
"Thank you."
I whistled at her, a little flirtatious, but it was really me, especially when I was a student, I often teased my female classmates like this, just teasing, no dirty thoughts.
"Come and sit down." I sent out an invitation to the girl.
"No, I have to go back to school."
"You're actually afraid I'm the bad guy, aren't you? ....... Actually, no, otherwise would you need to be so gentle to invite you? You can't outrun me, and I think it's fate that we met like this! β
The schoolgirl was silent for a while and said, "Okay, you wait." β
The schoolgirl walked along the mountain road with great difficulty, and I reminded her: "Slow down, there is a lot of gravel, don't stumble!" β
"Then why don't you come to my side?" The schoolgirl, as she walked, asked.
"Because I'm an uncle, I'm old, my eyes are not good, it's too risky to go to your side!"
Finally the female student came to me, we looked at each other, the biggest characteristic of this girl is innocence and innocence, there is no social habits, to say that the face, although there is a posture, but it is not so amazing that I feel.
The female student looked at me incredulously: "You, you are Zhang ...... Mr. Zhang! β
"Teacher Zhang?" I asked with a smile, but I wondered.
"That's right, that's what your classmates call you, you are our role model, of course a teacher....... I'm so lucky to have met you here, but luckily I didn't leave! β
"Sit down, but don't call me Teacher Zhang, call me by my name, or call me uncle."
"All right, uncle." The schoolgirls sat down next to me.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Jiang Xiaomo, uncle, it's okay for you to call me Xiaomo."
I nodded and smiled, picked up the beer next to me and took a sip, but I didn't say anything more, which seemed to be very unkind, calling the little girl over to have fun, but not responsible for finding a topic for chat.
"Uncle, why are you here? Classmates say that you have a lot of opportunities, and you are in Nantong now, right? β
I looked around and said, "Come and pick a cemetery for yourself, don't you think the feng shui here is good?" β
Jiang Xiaomo looked at me in horror, with a crying voice, and said, "Uncle, don't scare me, okay?" I'm just here to practice dancing! Didn't do anything bad, don't scare me! β
"Don't be afraid, I'm not dead yet, I'm just going to take a look first."
After a while, Jiang Xiaomo asked me: "But you are still very young, why do you have such negative thoughts?" β
"Negative, now many people will buy themselves a good cemetery in advance...... But it's a bit of a waste to use this land as a cemetery! I sighed.
"Yes, yes, if it becomes a cemetery, I won't dare to practice dancing here in the future, it's too scary!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaomo's frightened appearance, I smiled and asked, "Tell me, why do you like it here?" β
Jiang Xiaomo said without thinking: "I like this place because I think this is a pure land, a paradise, and I will always forget all my troubles here." β
I looked at the foot of the mountain again and nodded, the meaning of this place for Jiang Xiaomo is like the meaning of the ancient bridge and the rooftop to me, people are always eager to find a spiritual sustenance for themselves, we need such a place so much.
I suddenly had an idea, I want to make this foothill a realistic version of utopia, without troubles, without parting, everyone is equal, and there is peace.
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
I said, "If I told you that I wanted to make this a realistic version of a utopia, would you think that I was on a whim, very unrealistic?" β
"No, you're a miracle worker, that's what all of us think!"
I smiled, "Why do you trust me so much?" Do you know what the concept is to create a realistic version of utopia, how many resources and how much investment are needed? β
"I really don't know the resources and funds you said, but it's enough for us to know you, you're so good, you must be able to!"
"Maybe I could, but it's a distant thing, and now I can only work on it as a dream." I said for a long time.
In fact, I really hope that there is such a place in the world, as long as we live in it, there will be no more troubles, no separation, everyone is equal, but is this something that can be created by man? ....... After going through so much, I have already deeply realized the cruelty of reality, why is it so unrealistically stupid and naΓ―ve for a moment? Is it true that I still have a piece of innocence and pursuit in my heart that I have not seen?
If yes, then does this quest include love? Go and find the love you really want!
