I was awakened by this fierce tiger's mouth, and a breath stuck in my throat slowly flowed out of my nose; Although I have woken up but still frightened, even if my eyes are wide open, but everything in my vision is indistinguishable blur, the fierce and turbid tiger statue gradually disappeared from my eyes, and in its place was a gray cuboid object, I was still confused, and my ears were no longer the ethereal and refreshing bird calls in the jungle, but, Didi's irritation? I see, is it the sound of a horn? My eyes moved to the window, the congested road section, the anxious driver, the impatient assistant police, although it was early in the morning, but the scorching sun in this midsummer burned people's skin, stinged people's eyes, I used my left hand to block the sun, protect my newly awakened sun-bathed eyes, the sunlight between my fingers swallowed the sweat beads on my face, I couldn't tell whether the sweat beads were caused by nervousness and fear or the poisonous hands under the summer sun! As my consciousness cleared, I looked at the empty seat beside me, which had been lonely for a long time, just like me...... I leaned back in my seat, trying to block out the irritable and non-stop whistle outside, the whistle of the assistant police, breathing in disgust the filthy and filthy carbon dioxide-filled air in this small space, I was completely awake, I, on the bus, on the way to meet the boring work......

It's been about a year, I dream every night, weird, imaginative, I don't know how many skin care products I use can't save my eye bags and sallow face, every day is confused, low energy, I'm afraid some people believe me to take drugs!

In order to keep yourself awake in the morning, the first thing you do when you arrive at the office every morning is to make a cup of coffee.

The white spoon gently stirred up a small whirlpool of coffee, life is like the coffee in this cup, it seems to be calm, but most of the weak groups, as long as fate is slightly stirred, will be turbulent, or be submerged in this fragrant world. I don't know why I thought about it, but I remembered the talking rabbit, does it really have a daughter? And the old tree spirit, who was able to take the roots out of the ground? Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise I really don't know what it would be like to be eaten by a tiger? I really don't know how such an unbounding dream came out of my head, and I couldn't help but laugh at the smell of coffee!

No, I put down the coffee cup, in my dream, my jade pendant was snatched away by the water snake spirit, I touched my neck in a panic, where is the jade pendant that has been hanging on my neck all the year round and doesn't even take a bath? I hurriedly pulled out all my pockets again, they were empty, how could this be? I took a deep breath, leaned against the wall, closed my eyes, and thought to myself: this is a dream, just a dream, the jade pendant must have fallen somewhere, or where it was placed, I don't remember! I comforted myself and tried to calm my inner anxiety!

"Dudo!" A soft, familiar voice came from behind me, I straightened my collar, took a deep breath, trimmed my facial expression, turned around, stood upright, gently raised the corners of my mouth, and put on that official face, official smile (looking at it makes people feel hypocritical): "Good morning! I looked down at my watch: "It's eight o'clock in two minutes, I'm going to work, you know, Monday is the worst day of the week" I felt a little escaped, I didn't even want to say a word, I passed by her, and I didn't have time to step out of the threshold of this pantry...... "Wait! ”

I stopped and settled there, I hate this "wait" the most, when people say "wait", it actually means "I have something to ask you for help", not to mention, this person is her! And I'm a person who never helps anyone! It will take some courage for her to refuse! I turned slowly, still smiling, waiting for what she had to say.

"Dudo, I'...... There is one thing that I want to ...... Please help! Her face was entangled and helpless, her two eye sockets were sunken and dark, and her sallow and tired face was similar to my "drug-addicted" complexion......

I didn't wait for her to say what it was: "Yezi, I'm afraid that my little personnel commissioner can't help you in any way"!

She hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, in fact, only you can help, this time I really need your help......"

"If you're referring to something reported by the sales department, I'm sorry, I can't help you!" In order to prevent her from saying it, I interrupted her, presumably, she was desperate in her heart when I said this!

She didn't speak, looking at me with tears in her eyes and bloodshot eyes, so overwhelmed......

I looked away from hers, still smiling, just about to turn around.

"It's only five minutes, I'm only five minutes late, I'm taking care of ......" I didn't listen to her, leaving her with my cold back.

Walking in the corridor of men and women in the workplace, I seemed to hear the sound of the leaf sobbing, the desperate sobbing of the stubborn and strong woman who never asked for help, echoed in my mind, and could not be dispersed for a long time......

Sitting in this office full of radiation, blowing the cold air conditioner, looking at the dense data on the computer, the oppressive air devoured every inch of my skin, every cell, greedily sucking the blood flowing in my veins, and attacking my weak heart viciously! The blood that was rushing in the body is gradually drying up, the fresh cells are no longer able to move, the five years of boring cycle of work, the cautious survival, the pressure of being powerless to resist, the unchangeable fate has almost stopped my lungs from working, without the support of blood, my brain is in chaos, I have a splitting headache, I can't breathe!

"Bang!" The sound activated every disappearing cell in my body, the blood in my heart rushed up, and the chaotic consciousness was projected on the place of the sound: of course, who else but her could have the courage to arbitrarily push open the door of any department except the chairman!

A Chanel came at me, and that aura was completely different from the invincible, high-minded, and flamboyant superiority of the past, but angry, murderous!

"Look at the good things you've done!?" Susan slammed the papers on my desk.

I looked at the document, then at Susan, and when I opened the document, it was a notice about the dismissal of Ye, which did not pass through the personnel department, but was directly issued by the general manager's office, which shows the seriousness of the problem and shows that the leader is really angry.

I didn't get up, I didn't look at her, I put the file aside casually, fiddling with my mouse and pretending to look at the monitor, only in this way can I hide my uneasiness from the bottom of my heart: "If you mean that the 'good thing' is that I report the attendance of the sales staff normally in accordance with the company's regulations, then I don't need to explain anything to you, I am just performing my job duties and doing things in accordance with the rules and regulations!" ”

"Rules and regulations? The law is nothing more than human favors, she is only five minutes late, you know she has her reasons, you also know that she will be fired from the company if she is late for more than 3 times for the work report, and her current situation is not to be without a job! Yes, yes, you are doing your job duty, but you are doing your duty and depriving a single mother of a child with cancer of her financial resources to live and heal her illness? Do you know what that means to her? ”

I jerked up and looked at her with wide eyes, "Do you know what it means to me that I was wrong about my attendance?" Am I going to lose my job in order to keep someone else's job? No one's life is easy, there are weak people everywhere in this world, me too, we are all stealing ants, I am studious, diligent, cautious work for five years, this is the job I rely on to survive, but also my source of income, she still has family and lovers to rely on, I only have myself and this job, not everyone is the same as you, born without thinking about survival, born with countless people to spoil you, you can study abroad as a tour, you can work as a pastime, You can rely on the relationship to have no fear in the company, and you can talk to me about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and compassion here! Yes, I didn't help her, I'm sorry, I don't have the courage and ability to help her, and I can't afford such compassion and kindness! ”

Susan sneered: "Depend? The old father who relied on her to farm the land? Or is it her husband who abandoned her a month ago? Or is it because she has cancer and is just a four-year-old son? ”

I was a little stunned: "Her husband, abandoned her?" ”

Susan didn't speak......

My head buzzed, blank, my body lost its center of gravity, my legs had no support, in order not to let myself lie on the ground, my hands were supported on the table, I knew that my behavior caused a woman to completely collapse in the most desperate time, and really fell into the abyss of life, but this cold to the extreme, I slowed down for a few seconds and still said indifferently: "It's all mud and sa crossing the river, who can protect whom?" At the beginning, she chose to marry him desperately, desperate to give birth to a child, the road, she chose by herself, no matter what consequences she has to bear today, it is her own business, no one can bear it for her, including the late work report today! ”

"I really don't know when you started to become so indifferent, become so hateful, today's things are in terms of work, you have done nothing wrong, but you have no human touch in your body, you are like a self-enclosed iceberg, refuse to accept the sun, and refuse to give others sunshine, you are lonely, no relatives, no friends, no lovers, all of them are self-inflicted!" Susan picked up the document and smiled slightly: "The reason why I have no fear in the company is because I have the ability to be fearless, there is no shortage of discreet and diligent people in this world, on the contrary, this kind of person is the easiest to replace, just like you!" After saying that, she turned and left, the dashing back, the confident body, the warm-hearted and kind but sharp language, stung me!

I stood for a long time, I didn't know what to do, my inaction caused a single mother's mental breakdown, ruined the hope of a 4-year-old child, my business made me an iceberg so cold that no one wants to touch anymore, an iceberg of loneliness and indifference!

The rush of the shuttle bus left me with only a hot and foul-smelling exhaust fume, as it did every day...... After wearing high heels for a day, my feet were already swollen and swollen; The eyes are dry and astringent after looking at the computer data for a day; Walking in the cool air after the rain, my chest is still suffocated; The rickety figure lost the vitality of the morning, and I carried this overwhelmed body towards my fortress; Ten years ago, I longed to have a home of my own, to have a home to return to, and now, after ten years of getting what I once longed for, I found that I seemed to have nowhere to go but this fortress......

I lost my old intentions, my soul did not know where it had gone, I was too lazy to bend down and take off my shoes, and rubbed my feet to take them off; I didn't bother to take off my coat and hang it up, so I took off my coat and threw it directly on the ground, and I also left my backpack still on the ground. I staggered to the balcony and sat down on the ground, where I could see half of the city on the 20th floor. The train goes back and forth as always, and the rumbling sound always echoes in this silent world! My phone is always quiet, my doorbell never rings, is it the world that has turned its back on me, or am I turning its back on the world?

The desperate cry of the leaves during the day was in my ears, and Susan's sharp words still pierced my heart, what had I done, and what had I done wrong? Why is it so embarrassing? I don't know how many years I haven't been sad, happy or weeping, but now, the emptiness and confusion in my heart can no longer hold back these long-accumulated tears, which burst out like a torrent, even though I don't know why I cried.

I curled up on the balcony in the middle of the night, and the coldness from the bottom of my heart made me hug myself tightly; Maybe the tears have dried up, or maybe the tears are tired, the tired eyes are closed, dry and swollen, and the cracked brain is stuck against the fence; I like the quiet darkness when I close my eyes, if I can I want to stay in this darkness forever, just enjoy the solitude quietly and taste the darkness alone!

"Hey, kid! Hey ......"

Whose voice is this, is it calling me? It's so gentle, so delicate, and the tone reveals a hint of distress!

"Wake up, kid!"

This sound is so beautiful, is this another dream?

I slowly opened my eyes, and a soft and warm light rushed towards me, is this no longer the middle of the summer night? No longer my lonely and dark world?

The outline of the voice gradually projected in the light, and my vision gradually became clear, such a warm voice must have the gentlest face in the world......

Odd? How is it such a big head? How is that patterned tiger? I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, it was really the tiger!

My heart was racing, my breath was short, my mind was blank, and looking into her fierce eyes, I exclaimed, "Ah...... Ah......h

After shouting for a long time, there was no movement, and the patterned tiger did not pounce on me, my open mouth stopped, and I opened my left eye in surprise, only to see the patterned tiger looking at me stupidly, and the talking rabbit next to him leaned against the box, and blocked his ears with his little paws, pouting, and whistling.

Seeing this, I opened my other eye as well.

The talking rabbit lowered his hand, erected his ears, and stopped whistling: "Close your big mouth, you can see your stomach!" ”

I quickly closed my mouth, carefully stood up by the big tree, lowered my head, rubbed in small steps, approached the talking rabbit, although I didn't look up, but I could feel it, the patterned tiger stared at me, rubbed next to the talking rabbit, I was next to the magic box, and lowered my voice: "Find a way to escape, do you want to be the tiger's lunch?" ”

"Wrong, it's a tigress!" The talking rabbit also lowered his voice.

"I'm so close to you that I can hear you very clearly, no matter how small my voice is." The tone of the patterned tiger was a little ruthless.

"Do the animals here talk?" I looked at her in amazement.

"Wrong, it's a highly intelligent animal that can talk!" The rabbit is on its feet.

"No wonder, rabbits can talk, and tigers certainly are!" I muttered.

"What did you say?" The rabbit looked up at me.

"Nothing!" I quickly pretended not to say anything.

I lowered my voice again, hunched over and approached the talking rabbit: "That tiger can't eat people, she has been staring at me for a long time, think of a way to run away"

"If I had eaten you, I would have eaten it a long time ago! Can you still listen to you muttering here for a long time?" the Pattern Tiger said in a slow and leisurely tone, and he didn't look at me.

"You can hear me when my voice is so small?"

"I'm a tiger, and I have very good ears!" The Pattern Tiger looked at me with sharp eyes.

I quickly dodged her eyes, for fear of making eye contact with her!

The talking rabbit jumped on the box, padded his feet, looked at me expectantly, and said, "Let's go find the water snake spirit and snatch the jade pendant back!" ”

"Grab it back? How to rob? With my hands without the power to restrain the chicken, or do you pretend to be stupid and cute? If you want to go, I won't go, I'm most afraid of snakes of animals in the world! I finally had a dream without the water snake spirit, and I still went to find it? "I didn't even think about it, and my blunt words hit back at the rabbit!

"Then you don't want your pendant anymore? Didn't you say it was important to you? "Rabbit talk abruptly!

"It's very important, but don't forget, this is a dream, wake up, the pendant is still there, or mine, why should I wade into your troubled waters?"

"Then you woke up, did you see your pendant?" The rabbit looked at me seriously, as if he knew that I had woken up and had not found my pendant.

I was a little confused, apparently he knew, and it was also clear that in reality my pendant was really missing?

"You ......" I just started my words, and I only heard one sentence: "Be careful! ”

A violent force pushed me down, I leaned sideways, fell heavily to the ground, and was pushed out almost a meter away, only to feel that the palm of my right hand seemed to be stung by something, no, it was not a sting, it was a heart-wrenching pain! I leaned sideways and looked in the direction of my left hand, the vegetation on the ground was dyed blood red, and further away, the rabbit rolled a few meters away, my hands were grinning, I tried to raise my hand, sat up, and my palm was poked by the part of the branch buried in the soil! The blood couldn't stop spilling out, and the painful tears swirled around in the circles of the eyes, thinking, how can it be the same as the real thing when I was injured in this dream, so painful!

When I felt sorry for myself, I saw the rabbit running past me, it seemed that the hair on the body was not easy to hurt, and it was several meters away, and it was still alive.

The rabbit ran to the tiger lying on the ground and looked at her nervously; The patterned tiger looked like it had been hit hard, its body was wet with water, and it looked like it was dying. The rabbit stood in front of the patterned tiger, looked at the other side angrily, and said, "Water snake spirit, don't you understand who your enemy is?" ”

I looked in the direction the rabbit was looking, and oh my! Why did this water snake spirit come again, it must be for the box; It turned out that the Pattern Tiger was seriously injured in order to resist the attack of the water snake spirit, and in order to save me and the rabbit!

The water serpent's tongue held my pendant, and he looked at the rabbit with arrogant eyes, ignoring him.

I didn't know where I got the courage, and I forgot the pain in my palms, so I stood up all of a sudden, walked to the rabbit, looked at the patterned tiger behind me who sacrificed himself to save me and the rabbit and was injured, and looked at the short but never weak rabbit next to me, I raised my chest and raised my head: "Water snake spirit, it's useless for you to get the box, only I can open the box,"

"Water Serpent Spirit, we are not enemies, why should we hurt each other? You are the only remaining water source here, every grass and tree here needs you, we don't want you to be frozen, only she can open the box, you and I both know that only the weapons in this box can kill the ice armor man, you give her back the pendant! Rabbit said.

The water snake spirit seemed to listen to the rabbit's words, as if thinking about something, staring at me and the rabbit, those blue deep eyes, fascinated eyes, fascinated eyes; Slowly, as he approached me, the closer he got to me, the more I felt as if I was in a delightful ocean, I was swimming unremusedly, feeling the refreshing water, listening to the chirping of seagulls!

Suddenly there was a loud noise, the two pools of sea water churned, a cold current awakened my brain, the blue eyes of the water snake spirit in front of me were like broken blue glass, flying in the air, I watched the water snake spirit was hit by an ice fist twice as large as his head, and the body of the water snake spirit that was scattered all over the sky condensed into ice in the blink of an eye, and was attracted to the ground by the gravitational pull of the earth, and there were ice forks and ice cubes all over the ground! I'm dumbfounded!

Before he could react, he saw the rabbit rushing towards the box; I vaguely saw the pendant that fell to the ground, I don't know why, without thinking, ran towards my pendant, running at great speed, due to inertia, too late to brake, kneeling on the ground, grabbed my pendant, only to feel that another cold current was coming towards me, I turned around, only to see that the giant iceman was as tall and mighty as the bumblebee in the Transformers, one hand slapped at me, my left hand blocked in front, my right hand held my pendant, thinking: It's okay, it's just a dream, If you are shot to death, you will wake up!

My hands seemed to touch the ice skates formed under the eaves of the countryside in winter, and it was so cool! The wind he brought to me, though not as biting as the howling north wind from the northeast, made me shiver with coldness, and the land of the dense forest was no longer wet and cold, as if sitting on the snowdrifts of the ski resort......

But, but I just touched his hand that was ice to my heart, and before I could squash my body, I took it back, only to feel that the ground shook a few times, the iceman roared in shock, the coldness of the ground also receded, and the cold current gradually left me, I slowly put down my hand, slowly opened my eyes, the iceman was no longer there!

I looked around to make sure that the Iceman was gone, and looked back at the rabbit, who was lying on the box, and protected it with his body, apparently not knowing that the Iceman had left; I barely stood up with trembling legs and staggered over to the rabbit: "Hey! The Iceman is gone! Get up! ”

The rabbit moved his ears, looked out of his eyes, confirmed that the iceman was really gone, got up, sat down on the ground against the box, and let out a long sigh of relief!

He stood up again suddenly, and ran to the side of the tiger with a flying fly, and I followed, and the tiger with the pattern, still drowsy, lay motionless on the ground; The rabbit gently and gently stroked the tiger with his little hands, sobbing and choking......

I suddenly felt a cramp in my heart, an inexplicable undercurrent surged into my eyes, my eyes were already full of tears, I tried my best to restrain my tears, tried to suppress my emotions, and squatted down quietly, looking at the lonely back of the rabbit, I remembered the look when he talked about his daughter!

Time seemed to stop at this moment, the Pattern Tiger suddenly coughed lightly, my eyes locked tightly on her reaction, her eyes slowly opened, obviously losing her sharpness! I laughed, laughed from the bottom of my heart!

"I was just about to celebrate, and you woke up!" The rabbit sat down on the ground, and this sitting was more like a relaxation of body and mind, more like: You just scared me!

When the tiger heard the rabbit's words, the sharp eyes came back, and I immediately stood up and stepped back, for fear that the inscrutable tigress would pounce on me again!

The inscrutable tigress slowly stood up, and the water droplets of the water snake spirit slowly rose from the tiger's body and gradually gathered together in the air.

"The last water source is also frozen, I'm afraid there are only a few drops left!" The talking rabbit looks up!

"Your hands are bleeding." The Patterned Tiger limped on its swollen hind legs and staggered towards me.

I subconsciously stepped back with her pace, although she saved me and the rabbit just now, although she was injured, but this is a tiger after all, the cruel king of the animal world, can swallow me in minutes!

Hearing her words, I looked at the wound on the palm of my hand that I had forgotten, and it was really bleeding! In an instant, I bared my teeth and my painful heart trembled!

Where did the pendant fall again?

Looking at the patterned tiger slowly approaching me, I didn't have the heart to find my pendant, I just cared about retreating, and the pain in my palm, I didn't care about the road, I didn't know what I tripped, I sat on the ground, and the palm of my hand was supported on the ground like a conditioned reflex, I sighed, it really hurt! Hurriedly raised his hand, and the red blood was imprinted on the frozen "broken corpse" of the water snake spirit......

"I just want to help you lick your wounds, what are you hiding?" When the tiger saw me sitting on the ground, he stopped!

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect the already injured Pattern Tiger, still thinking about my wounds, and I was speechless: "I, I'm not here, hide...... I just ......" and didn't dare to look at her!

"Hey! Look, the ice you just touched is starting to melt! The rabbit leaned in!

I looked at the melted ice and rolled my eyes: "What's so surprising about that?" What a fuss! Of course the ice has to melt, and now that the temperature is not below zero, it will definitely melt, do you have any common sense? That's all there is to it, and the IQ is 12? ”

Hearing this, the Pattern Tiger also walked over: "All the water sources that the Ice Armor People have frozen will not melt no matter how high the temperature is!" It's really a miracle......"

This place is really imaginative, and I have to admire my brain, how can it be so big?

A pain suddenly woke me up from my blur, and the talking rabbit pressed its fingers against my wound, squeezing out more blood.

"Dead rabbit, are you plotting against me? Do you want me to bleed to death? I barked at the rabbit.

The rabbit ignored my growl, and with its little paws it tugged at my injured hand and pressed it against another large block of ice. The cold ice cubes were cold from the palm of my hand to the bottom of my heart, and the stinging wound didn't hurt anymore.

"What are you doing?" My voice grew louder, and I couldn't stand his nonsensical behavior, and I withdrew my hand and looked at the wound.

"Look!" The patterned tiger gently bumped me into me and motioned to me.

I looked at the ice with an annoyed expression: the sticky ice gradually melted, the blood slowly became lighter, and in less than a minute, the ice became a puddle of water, and then slowly rose into the air; The familiar snake head with a jade pendant in its mouth appeared in front of me again, only this time it was no longer so large, and its eyes were no longer so blue, but slightly red, and my blood flowed in its body, as if it was my blood supporting all its strength.

I was so amazed by this scene that I was already dumbfounded.

Everything in front of me is so real, the pain is real, the blood in the palms of my hands is real, the sound and smile of the rabbit, the sharp color of the patterned tiger, the evil and decadence of the water snake spirit, the huge cold of the ice armor people, every flower, grass and tree really can't be real, I began to wonder if this is still my dream, I began to wonder if I was still alive in the real world full of car exhaust and global warming?

"Hey! You see, it's giving you a jade pendant" The rabbit's voice sounded again, in fact, this sound is not only real, I felt very familiar when I first heard it, I don't remember where it was, as if I had heard it, as if it had been close to me, very close.

The water snake spirit was slowly approaching me, but even if it was no longer as evil as it looked before, I was still afraid, that fear was innate from the bottom of my heart, and I unconsciously stepped back, although I really wanted to get my pendant back, I was so timid as a mouse that I had no courage.

The Tiger Tiger blocked my way out, I was stuck there, I looked at the Tiger and motioned for it to get out of the way, the disgusting snake face was about to stick to my face.

"Your blood saved it, it returned the jade pendant to you, and it is courting you!" The Tiger looked at me and stood in my way.

I was overwhelmed and looked at the talking rabbit again.

The rabbit used its weak body to pull the box to my feet, panting, and holding its old waist with both hands: "Go on! It's all like that, it can't do anything to you! What are you afraid of? Besides, it's not as scary as you think, and you saved it! All things are good by nature! ”

With the tiger in the back and a chattering rabbit next to me, I don't seem to have a choice, and I really want to get my pendant back, which is worth some money!

My injured hand covered my eyes, and I really didn't dare to look at the goblin directly, and my other hand trembled, and slowly reached out to it with a wince. The cool, icy pendant landed in the palm of my hand. I still didn't dare to look at it, my hand was tightly covered, and when I received the pendant, I quickly retracted it, for fear that the goblin would eat my hand again.

The pendant returned to my hand, I looked at it carefully, it was not pure jade, it was whitish with a slight pale green, and the red rope tied it for ten years. It is not valuable, and those who know a little bit can see its clumsiness at a glance, and what is precious is the innocence and beauty at that time.

"Quick, open the box!" The rabbit tugged at the edge of my skirt, jumping and jumping, impatient.

"Why should I help you open this broken box, how do I know if this box will break my pendant." I held the pendant tightly, for fear that someone would snatch it again.

"No, what can you do if you open a box and break your pendant? Besides, how can you talk and not count, didn't you promise to be good before, you are a little girl, you look very likeable, why are you so discredited, so cold-blooded, so. ”

"Okay, who said I'm cold-blooded, isn't it just to open a box!" I interrupted the rabbit, not because I was so enthusiastic or because I really wanted to help him, but I really didn't want to hear anyone say I was cold-blooded anymore.

The rabbit listened to my words, cracked its mouth and laughed, and the two big yellow rabbit teeth were exposed. I glanced at it with contempt, then at the patterned tiger, hey, it was the stern face again, but the gaze was slightly softer!

I squatted down, held my jade pendant in both hands, and gently put my pendant on it according to the mold on the key of the box. The rabbit and the patterned tiger also came over, and a cool feeling hit behind them, it is not difficult to guess that it must be the water snake spirit! Eight eyes looked intently at this immobile box, and after waiting for a few seconds, I was a little impatient, and I was also a little worried that my pendant would be damaged: "It's useless, you guys are wrong, how can the jade pendant be the key?" Motionless! ”

The rabbit listened to me, and with all its might, tried to open the box, but in vain.

"Okay, you've all seen it, I'm not going to play with you anymore, I'm going to get my pendant back!"

No one spoke, and the rabbit's ears drooped and sat down on the ground.

I was about to reach for my pendant when I heard a chirp, so familiar, and I looked up and saw it, the proud phoenix covered in white feathers. I don't know why, but seeing it is like seeing the beauty, seeing the light, and seeing the exit out of the darkness. I got up and looked at it and shouted, "White Phoenix!" ”

"What a white phoenix, it's a prophetic bird!" Rabbit explained.

I ignored the rabbit and watched as the prophetic bird hovered above us and the box, and it attracted all my attention, not because of its beauty, but because of its aura of hope, of course, the so-called aura was entirely my own imagination, but that's it, it was full of aura in my sight.

"Look!" I did not hear, but I looked at the prophetic bird.

The patterned tiger tugged at the edge of my skirt, and I was about to get angry when a faint jade-like light appeared in the middle of the jade pendant on the box. The light gradually increased in a radial shape, and in this deep forest, which was not bright, the light seemed so dazzling.

The Prophet Bird flew to the side of the Water Serpent Spirit, flickering its wings, and our eyes were cast on the Prophet Bird and the Water Serpent Spirit. The Serpent Spirit closed its eyes and seemed to listen to the whispers of the prophetic bird again. I didn't think about what they were doing, I just wanted to appreciate the beauty of this bird, I don't know where the courage came from, I slowly approached it, closer and closer, closer and closer, close enough to reach it, but it was like deliberately keeping a distance from me, flying away, flying away! In our sight disappeared. I can't get enough of it, and I have a hunch that it will still appear.

The light was still there, as if it was an evil water snake spirit slowly moving towards the center of the light.

"Water Snake Spirit, what are you doing?" The rabbit shouted, but the water snake spirit was indifferent.

This is simply fanciful, I am already surprised, it is better to watch the play quietly!

The water snake spirit reached the center of the light, stopped there, it was motionless, suddenly the whole body slowly began to rotate, the speed of rotation became faster and faster, and the color gradually mixed with this light, with the continuous rotation, it was diluted by the light, they fused together, suddenly the light was no longer radial, it filled the entire deep forest, the light was more dazzling than the noon sun, my instinctive hands covered my eyes.

Although my bachelor apartment is small and not exquisitely decorated, the curtains are all carefully selected by me. I love the color purple and have loved it since I was a child. Purple is always used as the main color in cartoons, because it gives people a dreamlike feeling. In fact, there is no girl who doesn't like fairy tales, and there is no girl who doesn't want to be a princess, but the world is the way of the world, not every girl is born to be a princess, and she is destined to be a Cinderella for the rest of her life. I have had a dream of being a princess, but when I can remember, I know that it is a distant dream, and when I think about it during the day, it is a daydream, and when I think about it at night, I hide in the bed, crying and crying. But who doesn't have a longing heart? Therefore, I arranged the curtains in the bedroom and living room of this bunker in purple, especially in the living room, the tassel curtains, in fact, are the purple lines hanging on the windows, which have no practical effect, but whether it is the scorching sunlight in summer, or the mild sunlight in winter, sprinkled on the purple tassel curtains, with its slight shaking, the gold threads on the lines shine brightly, looming; The shy light seemed to be the only beautiful thing in this bunker.

When I get home, no matter what I do, I like to lie on the sofa with my head on the other side of the window, as long as the sun shines in, it always flickers in front of my eyes, and it feels like a dream.

At this moment, the slightest light is shaking in front of my eyes, it seems to be noon, the light is dazzling, my head hurts badly, the stomach is turning over and turning non-stop, the pain in the palm of my hand hits my heart, oops, no, I'm going to be late for work, I sat up suddenly, opened my eyes, countless stars in front of me, the sky was spinning, I looked back at the window, the sun was full, my eyes didn't dare to open, I looked at my palm, it was really cracked, and the blood stains still remained, The broken red wine bottle on the floor, the dried red wine marks on the floor, the upside-down red wine glass, the pedestal is gone, the messy paper towels all over the floor, the coffee table is also full of scattered paper towels, the lonely lily in the glass vase has withered, the mess in front of me makes my head more and more painful, I picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, oh my God! It was one o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen missed calls, more than a dozen text message notifications, I woke up in an instant, I didn't go to work all morning, I didn't have time to think, I didn't have time to pack myself, I picked up my bag, put on my shoes, and rushed to the company.

My superior is a middle-aged man with good facial features, and he should have been a handsome guy when he was young. But I don't know if it's the influence of this society or the nature of men, it's all a bit sanctimonious. And the so-called sanctimoniousness is actually a false seriousness, looking like a decent man and a gentleman in front of people, and it is disgusting behind his back. I've been in this company for five years, and I've been single for five years, and a single woman like me who lives alone without any support, especially if she looks like she is in the past, is always inevitably "harassed", flattering text messages, yellowish office language, and more or less can always be heard, but how can I be a woman from a good family? Also, I'm sure most of the young girls in the department will have the same experience as me, but everyone will deal with it differently. I am a well-known figure in the company who has nothing to do with myself, and I have always been cold-spoken, wisely and self-protective, and I have teased a few times, and if I don't get a response, it will be over! But I haven't been promoted or raised in five years, and the reason is not only my style of doing things, I'm afraid it has something to do with it! I always feel that no matter what kind of society develops, what people's faces will become, I don't want to be bound by it; The goodness of society has nothing to do with me, the ugliness of society has nothing to do with me, the filth of society has nothing to do with me, and the indifference of society has nothing to do with me, I just have to be myself; Maybe there is no goodness in me anymore, maybe I am the ugly, dirty, and indifferent one, but if I hadn't experienced the ugliness, filth, and indifference of human nature, how could I be like this?

Standing in front of the leader's desk in embarrassment, his stomach was still overturned, as a member of the personnel department, he knew very well what he would endure, and he was absent from work for a day, although he would not be fired, but he would also be punished severely. I didn't dare to look up, staring at the wound in my palm, probably too nervous and scared, and I didn't feel any pain at all. The mixed pulp's head couldn't think at all, and he didn't know what to justify himself, in fact, there really wasn't anything to justify.

"How much wine have you drunk, I can smell it while sitting here!" The manager spoke first.

"I, I," I couldn't say anything. He didn't dare to raise his head down, only to hear the sound of him tapping on the keyboard stop, followed by a regular sigh.

This trademark sigh, which I am all too familiar with, is a sign that his official tone is about to begin.

"Xiao Du! As for you, as a member of the personnel department, how can you make such a big mistake? Where do you put my face as a department manager? How awkward is the position of our department in the company, do you know, these other departments are staring at us? And you also know that the reason why I have been able to be a department manager in the company for so many years is because of integrity and impartiality. Therefore, this time it must be dealt with impartially, and it will be punished heavily. I'm not going to blame you, and there's no need for it."

"It's me who did something wrong, no matter what punishment the company makes, it should be, you don't have to be embarrassed by the leader, just deal with it according to the rules." Although my head is not very clear, but the company's system has long been familiar with the system, and I have never made a mistake in the past five years, this time it is a fine, at most a penalty notice will be issued to various departments, no big deal.

"Oh, look, I'll just say, Xiao Du is a sensible person! The company has decided to terminate the labor contract with you in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the national labor law, of course, the corresponding compensation will be given to you, you go to your colleagues to sign, pack up your things, and go home! ”

"Terminate the labor contract?" My heart tightened, fire me, I was indeed wrong for absenteeism for a day, but it will not be fired!

"Manager, what does it mean to terminate the labor contract?"

He sneered: "I don't understand yet, it's the company that decided to fire you and no longer hire you!" ”

My mind was clear, I took a step forward, and asked, "Manager, I don't understand, I'm just absent from work for a day, won't I be fired?" The company's attendance system is not like this! Besides, I have worked diligently in the company for five years, and I have no credit and hard work, how can I say that I will be fired if I am fired? ”

"Do you think there is a lack of dedicated employees in this company, and there is a lack of conscientious people in this society? Let me put it bluntly with you, today's absenteeism is nothing more than a reason to fire you, you are right, absenteeism for a day will not be fired, some things will stop with me, but today's matter, first, you offended people, second, if I am the head of the enterprise, I will not use a cold-blooded animal who doesn't even care about my friends. ”

I want to talk and stop, although I rarely interact with people on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that I'm a stupid person, I understand his words very well, someone is obstructing this matter, of course, even if I don't, considering my usual attitude towards him, my indifferent style of doing things, he will not only not help me, but will help me. I didn't argue with him anymore, it was pointless.

People can always stand on a high place to see different scenery and taste a different life. In the past, I especially liked to stand on a high place and feel how pure it was to reach out and touch the blue sky. But that was me before, and now I prefer to hide in a dark corner, alone, and no one should disturb me.

It's been a long time since I've been to the top floor of the company, and when I think about it, the last time was two years ago! If it weren't for seeing her, I wouldn't really remember being here.

I quietly looked at her back, the afterglow of the setting sun was extraordinarily gentle, but for some reason it was so lonely, it seemed that everything was leaving with this residual glimmer. I didn't speak, but I didn't know how to speak, and I stood there for a long time. Knowing that she calculated me, I should have been right, but I didn't have the confidence at all.

"If you hadn't been fired from the company, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to come here!" Susan turned around, looking tired.

I didn't answer, just took a deep breath and prepared to "confront" her.

I was about to speak, but she continued: "I know what you want to ask, don't ask, I used my relationship to fire you." ”

Although we are not as close as before, although I "deal with the matter of the leaves impartially", although I have always only swept the snow in front of my house, but I have never harmless hearts, and I have a clear conscience in everything, but I never thought that I would be "calculated" by her.

"Why, just because I didn't help the leaves? Am I going to lose my job if she doesn't have a job? I didn't do anything from start to finish. You! ”

"The leaves are dead!" Susan interrupted me.

How could a leaf die if the leaf died? I met in the company yesterday, and I don't believe why no one told me what happened.

"What do you mean?" I looked incredulous, disbelieving, and confused.

Susan sneered: "It's because you didn't do anything that she committed suicide by jumping off the building last night!" No one should have told you, definitely not, because you don't have any friends! A cold and ruthless person like you shouldn't feel anything! ”

I looked at her in a daze, the blood all over my body seemed to freeze, my heart seemed to stop beating, and a hot current surged into my eye sockets, and I held it vigorously.

"You are a cold-blooded killer, it was you who caused the death of the leaf, it was you who killed everyone who truly loved you with your own hands, and you were destined to die alone; I can't do anything with you, but I never want to see you again. Susan leaned against my ear, and every word was so clear that I could feel her determination, and I could feel her pain.

The sound of her high heels is no longer as energetic as it is usually, her voice is getting weaker and weaker, and she gradually can't hear it, and maybe, never again.

It's cold, it hurts.

Susan's words were like a howling north wind in winter, stinging every inch of my skin, my hands clenched fiercely, the pain in my palms was nothing, and my heart hurt at this time and I couldn't breathe.

I'm so scared, so hateful.

I was ashamed of my indifference, and I began to fear my cold heart; I hate what I did.

There was a sore feeling in my stomach, my head suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, the soles of my feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, I was holding the tears in my eyes, the afterglow of the sun was still there, I couldn't stand its irradiation, I felt that my whole body was naked in this light, I wanted darkness, I needed a fortress, I just wanted to be alone, curled up.
