Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 210 Storytelling
"Once upon a time, there was an uncle who, like you, had very incurable cancer, and it was still terminal, and even the doctors said that he would not live for more than three months."
Duan Zilian's level of storytelling is very average, but perhaps because the protagonist in the story is sympathetic to herself, Li Shuning is very touched, so she listens very carefully, as if she forgets the pain coming from all over her body.
"Even if the uncle knew that he didn't have much time left, he didn't have any discouragement and faced the reality positively and optimistically."
"Later, when the uncle lived to the third month, he wanted to live, and he still had a wish that was not fulfilled, so he desperately insisted, and as a result, the belief that he wanted to continue to live made him live for another month."
"And then ...... Probably because of the power of faith, the uncle lived for a whole year, and when the doctor examined him again, he found that there were many fewer cancer cells in his body. It is said that the cancer cells in his body are rapidly decreasing because they lose their ability to divide. In this way, the uncle managed to survive, and this incident is called a miracle in the history of medicine. ”
"However, if the uncle had not survived the most difficult first three months, perhaps there would have been no miracle later. Therefore, it is not the progress of medical technology that has created miracles, but the uncle has created such a myth of life by relying on the will and belief to survive. ”
Duan Zilian finished the story.
In fact, this story is basically made up by himself on the spot, and he hopes that Li Shuning can pass this false story, even at the last moment of his life, and not give up hope.
This is the last bit of kindness that Duan Zilian can give to Li Shuning, although I don't know how much this false story can play for Li Shuning, but a little expectation is good after all.
After listening to Duan Zilian's story, Li Shuning smiled slightly, and her eyes regained some brilliance: "Your storytelling level is so bad, I want to sleep when I hear it, and besides, you made up this story on the spot, right?" ”
Duan Zilian: "......"
Don't you know the truth of seeing through and not telling? You're embarrassing to me.
Li Shuning continued: "Actually, you don't need to make up such stories to encourage me, like this kind of inspirational story of being disabled and stubbornly fighting against the disease, my parents don't know how many times they told me, and I was a little annoyed to hear it...... Still, thank you for the story. ”
Duan Zipian thought for a moment: "You don't like to hear this kind of story, then I'll tell you a joke." In the middle of a desert, there was a man riding a camel and walking on a road......"
……
I don't know if Duan Zilian's jokes are not funny, or Li Shuning is in a bad mood now, anyway, Duan Zilian said a few jokes one after another, Li Shuning just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and she didn't have the feeling of laughing like Duan Zilian imagined.
After a few jokes, seeing that Li Shuning just smiled slightly, Duan Zi was pitiful, and he didn't know what to say next, so he fell silent.
Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while, Li Shuning suddenly asked, "Can you listen to me tell me my story?" ”
"Well, you say, I'll listen." Duan Zilian nodded immediately.
Looking up at the ceiling, Li Shuning began to recall the past.
"When I was a child, I don't know why, I liked to talk very much, I talked a lot, I belonged to the kind that would be uncomfortable to death if I didn't speak for a day, and only when I practiced it, I would be quiet, so my mother often said that I was as quiet as a virgin, moving like a crazy rabbit, and regretted that I shouldn't have given me such a name."
Hearing this, Duan Zilian nodded slightly, Li Shuning in her impression is like this, she is completely the kind of character who likes to talk very much, give her a topic, as if she can talk until she is old.
When Duan Zilian thought so, Li Shuning continued.
"I love to talk so much that I can't be idle at all, and for this reason, my table mates and friends are very annoying to me."
"But I just want to speak, probably because artists have different brains than ordinary people, and I have a lot of wonderful ideas every day, and I want to share my ideas with others. However, my friends are tired of me talking too much and ignoring me. ”
"But even so, I still like to talk, and I want someone to listen to me. So, Duan Zilian, can you listen to me? ”
Hearing this, Duan Zilian's expression was serious, without the slightest joke, and nodded solemnly: "To be honest, I also kind of hate your character of always talking to yourself, I feel that your mouth is like a machine gun, crackling and talking, which is indeed a little annoying." But now, whatever you want to say, just say it, and I'll listen carefully. ”
Hearing this, Li Shuning smiled and looked at the ceiling again: "You told me a story, then I'll tell you a story too......"
Although it is said to be telling a story, in fact, Li Shuning is telling some of her experiences when she was a child, as well as her previous bizarre ideas.
She said a lot and talked for a long time, Duan Zilian didn't have any impatience, listened carefully, and occasionally interjected a sentence or two to make a joke.
……
At the same time, at a location on the outskirts of the city, the ground suddenly trembled as if it had been an earthquake, causing the surrounding trees and telephone poles to collapse.
However, unlike the earthquake, as the earth shook, a huge bag of earth gradually rose up, and this bag of earth grew bigger and higher, as if some behemoth was about to break through the earth.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the earth bag shattered, and endless dust and gravel rose into the air, sprinkling all around, like a goddess scattering flowers, forming a large thick dust curtain wall.
And in this dense dust, a huge figure looms.
At the same time, almost a kilometer to the west, there was a large oil refinery.
Although it is now the Spring Festival, many workers have gone home for the New Year, but there are still some workers who have given up the opportunity to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival, stick to the front line of their posts, and work in the factory with all their hearts.
In the past, when the earth shook, the huge dirt bags that suddenly rose from the ground were not seen by too many people, after all, most of the people were working in the factory.
However, the workers of the refinery clearly felt the shaking of the earth, and immediately thought it was an earthquake, and immediately ran out of the factory in a panic.
Some ran to an open place, and some hurriedly ran to some relatively solid triangles, so as not to hit themselves with the debris from the collapse of the factory.
However, the tremors only lasted for three or four seconds before they subsided, followed by a slight tremor, as if a heavy truck had passed by in the dead of night.
This kind of earthquake is very strange, so that many workers are surprised, looking at each other in confusion, and even wondering if this is an earthquake or not.
Many workers ran out with doubts, stunned in place, and for a while, a little overwhelmed.
"Look! What is that?! ”
Suddenly, a worker screamed in horror.
The other workers immediately followed his gaze and pointed in the direction they were pointing, and immediately saw a huge dust curtain wall not far ahead, giving people the impression that a mountain of dust had risen from the ground.
Looking at this scene in front of them, the workers were stunned.
Suddenly, from the dust, there was a dull sound of footsteps.
Then, under the frightened eyes of the workers, a huge figure walked out of the dust flying in the sky step by step.
It was a massive monster, about sixty meters tall, and it looked like a gigantic pangolin, with a bulging body, a bloated body, black and brown hard scales all over its body, and a tail behind it.
But unlike the usual pangolin, this giant pangolin has a hideous face, looks terrifying, and stands like a human, walking on two thick hind limbs, with two arms and claws in front of it.
Looking at the pangolin xenobiotic beast that came out of the smoke and dust hundreds of meters away, the workers working in the refinery were all stunned.
After all, such similar scenes could only be seen in movies in the past.
In the sound of heavy footsteps, the huge pangolin xenomorph came out of the dust, and its hideous body and huge body made everyone shudder with their mouths wide open in shock.
"Weird...... Monsters! ”
Suddenly, a worker shouted in horror, waking up all the other workers who were still in a daze.
Suddenly, all the workers immediately dropped their work and tools, quickly spread their feet, and ran towards the direction of the factory gate as fast as possible, and even wished that they could run faster by two more legs.
"The monster is coming!"
"Run! There are monsters! ”
"Don't get in the way!"
……
As the people ran, the cries of panic and anxiety continued to reverberate in the huge refinery, causing more workers to rush out of the factory, so that the scene suddenly became very chaotic.
You know, in the last few months, the whole world has known about the existence of huge unidentified monsters, and various news and radio stations have reported information about these monsters, so that everyone knows the horror and horror of this monster.
Therefore, now that they see a huge monster coming towards them, if they don't run away, they will be thinking that they will be dead.
As if they didn't see these desperately fleeing "ants", the pangolin xenomorph walked forward step by step, not fast, and even seemed a little slow, but with each step, the solid rock under its feet was trampled into pieces.
With the sound of crumbling rocks, the paws of pangolin xenomorphs sink into the earth, leaving huge footprints on the ground.
And when it lifts the soles of its feet, it will carry up a large amount of dirt and stone chips, causing the dust to fly into the air indiscriminately, and then sprinkle down, like a goddess scattering flowers, but it doesn't look so gorgeous.
As a result, the pangolin xenomorphs left huge footprints on the ground one after another, and scattered crumbling stone chips and upturned dirt everywhere.
