Chapter 570: Central Asian Groundhog (I)

(a)

This squirrel-like animal is actually called the Central Asian marmot, also known as the Altai marmot. For hundreds of thousands www.biquge.info of years, it has lived in the vast grasslands of Northeast Asia and has lived by nibbling on grass roots. Its greatest natural enemy, apart from humans, is the steppe wolf.

About 80 years before we were born into that world, the population growth of the steppe peoples was at its peak. Massive population growth has crowded out the living space of steppe wolves, and the number of steppe wolves has decreased dramatically, and the decline of steppe wolves has led to a rapid increase in the number of Altai marmots. This marmot eats grass seeds, roots, and stems during the day, and sleeps in burrows at night, causing serious damage to the grasslands of nomadic areas.

The rapid growth of the population and the continuous decline of the grasslands have brought an end to the history of peace and quiet between the farming and the grassland peoples. Forty-six years before you were born, the cavalry of the steppe stormed into Han land for the first time, plundering grain and other necessities. In the 15 years or so before you were born, this raid and raid had reached an alarming frequency and scale.

Three years before you were born, and two years after you were born, the steppe tribes launched two large-scale raids, launching a full-front attack on more than 20 counties and state capitals. My father died in the latter battle at your doorstep. So, I was born in your family. We were able to meet. You too have been drawn into the war. We are separated because of the war.

Groundhogs, steppe wolves, it seems that they have nothing to do with us. However, the truth of the matter is not like that.

All things are interconnected. When the steppenwolf dies, our end is formed, although we can't see it yet.

So, there is nothing that is gratuitous. There are extremely deep and all-encompassing reasons behind the occurrence of all things.

The so-called heaven and earth net is not an idiom, it is the truth of the operation of the world. The reason why things happen this way is because of the confluence of causes and conditions that make it inevitably happen this way. If the aggregation of conditions does not change, it can only happen like this.

This is what I found out in math class before Mr. Li made me stand up.

Although I wasn't listening to the teacher explain how to solve the problems on the blackboard, it didn't mean that I wasn't exploring and learning with hunger.

I'm just solving a bigger puzzle. In the face of this huge puzzle, all the other questions seem so pale and childish.

The classroom suddenly sounded an angry roar from the head teacher, Mr. Li: "Idealism! You stand up for me! ”

I looked up and saw Mr. Li's glasses shining at the classroom door. She looked at me with angry eyes.

I was so excited that I wanted to put away the books that were in my desk drawer.

Teacher Li swept in through the classroom door like a whirlwind. She rushed up to me and snatched the book from my hand. She read the title of the book aloud: "Grassland Ecology in the Age of Separation".

She said angrily: "You looked at the grassland ecology more than 1,000 years ago in math class?!" ”

My face turned red.

Teacher Li was so angry that his whole body trembled: "I have long heard from my classmates that you are always reading extracurricular books in class, and I still don't believe it." I've been standing outside the door looking at you for 20 minutes this time, and you've been reading the book, and you don't even know that I've been looking at you at the door of the classroom! ”

She snapped, "Open your bag!" "I sat still and didn't move.

She took matters into her own hands and pulled her bag out of the drawer. She found another extracurricular book inside.

She flipped through the book. Then, she found a place name that made her eyes shine. She read it out loud: "Xiyuan! ”

I shuddered.

She stared at me. She said, "What the hell are you going through in your head?!" The source of the stream? What the hell is it about this place that appeals so much to you? Keeping you in the classroom? Makes you haunted by training? ”

She shouted, "You have to make it clear today!" ”

But how can it be said clearly? It's like it's impossible for three-dimensional creatures to explain their view of space to two-dimensional creatures. Even if language can be expressed, how can two-dimensional beings understand and believe? Therefore, the only reaction can only be silence.

So, I just stood there in silence, unable to say anything. Death on the rock in the middle of the stream was in front of me again. The howls of the wolves rang out again.

Standing on the podium, the math teacher Tang held a wooden compass in one hand and pushed the spectacle lenses that had fallen off due to fright with the other, and said cautiously: "It's not right to do anything else in class." Idealism, you quickly apologize to Mr. Li. Mr. Li, let's finish the math class first, and then ask Weixin to go to the office to talk. ”

"No! You should not protect her in everything just because she has good grades, and relax your discipline requirements for her. is always open to her, what do other classmates think and think? This is contrary to the principle of fairness. ”

Teacher Li looked directly at me and said, "No! Idealism, you must explain clearly in public today why you read history books in math class. What is it about that stream that attracts you, you have never given a clear explanation since you last got lost. What are you curious about? What did you see there? ”

That day, I was stuck in class with Teacher Li.

She was stubborn and insisted that I explain why I was reading these two completely unrelated books in math class. And I can't explain it clearly.

She understood my silence as a stubborn confrontation. As a result, her anger reached a boiling level. Ignoring the math teacher's persuasion, she repeatedly mentioned the source of the stream. She said that if I didn't explain it clearly, the whole class would not be allowed to leave.

Every time she mentioned the source of the stream, the sight that she would never forget was like a sharp knife cutting my heart inside.

I felt like I was in that state of mind when I was coming down from the second floor of the hospital and getting ready to climb over the fence.

I suddenly felt very bored with everything in my life.

Why should I stay here? Why stay in this strange world? Why come into contact with these irrelevant two-dimensional flat people and get entangled!

I don't belong here at all! I'm not here either!

What's the point of going through all this?!

I regret now that I didn't try to run away after that day. My place is by that person's side. I should be there! That's my fate!

I long to come out of it all.

I should have gone to you! I should go and save you! I should go and accompany you! The world in that canyon belongs to us!

As I thought so, tears welled up in my eyes.

I didn't cry because I was reprimanded in public and felt deeply wronged.

I am extremely helpless, lost in immeasurable time and space! (To be continued.) )
