Chapter 2: The Secret of the Jade Pendant
Shouldn't I have run across the road? How can I be on the path of escaping my life in a dream, the same raindrops are sprinkled on all corners of my body, but instead of the oppressive rainy day, the sun is still there; Did you rush into a dream? What about my bag? Why is this pajama again? Why are you not wearing shoes? Since it's a dream, whatever! In this fresh air, I sucked greedily and enjoyed!
"I've been watching you fugue for a long time!"
That nasty voice again!
"Why do you keep interrupting me to enjoy it?" I bowed my head and complained at the talking rabbit.
"The water snake spirit was knocked away by your train, half of the stream water was poured on our body, I became a soup rabbit, you look at yourself, you can see the color of your underwear! I'm keeping you safe! You're still angry at me! The talking rabbit shook the water off its ears.
I reflexively wrapped my pajamas around my body, trying to cover my body! Embarrassed, he said, "So, the water snake spirit is dead?"
"How can it die? Haven't you heard of the thousand-year-old snake spirit? The talking rabbit threw me a word, turned his head and walked forward.
I was puzzled and chased after him: "What do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean it doesn't die? That big locomotive hit it, and it was all scattered! ”
"When do you learn to apologize and thank you, I'll tell you again" The talking rabbit walked straight away.
I was a little dumbfounded and followed: "So where are you going now?" ”
"Go home!"
"This is your house?"
"Why not?" The talking rabbit pushed the door open.
My face was full of incredulity: "Aren't you supposed to be down the rabbit hole?" How do you live like a hobbit? ”
"I have an IQ of 120 in both civil and military affairs, how can I compare with those ordinary rabbits!" The talking rabbit is shouting in his hobbit house!
I couldn't help but smile!
"Won't you come in?"
"Although I'm relatively short, I can't get into your house, you are a miniature version of the hobbit's house!"
He didn't make a sound for a long time, and I walked forward, thinking what the hell this talking rabbit was doing! I squatted at the door and tried to poke inside, and suddenly, I don't know what kind of sheet or quilt cover or something like a cover made my face smudge! I was just going to get angry!
"That's my daughter's clothes, you can wear them and see if it fits!"
I stood up and looked at the dress, which was clearly human! I said mockingly: "Your daughter's clothes, what genes in your family can give birth to human daughters?!" ”
"You can laugh at me as much as you want, but you can't laugh at my daughter, she is kind, simple, enthusiastic, sincere, and knows gratitude, and she won't hurt anyone!" The talking rabbit pointed his right index finger at me and stared at me seriously.
I didn't slow down a bit, and I didn't say anything, but it turned its back to me and lowered its head: "Change your wet clothes, we still have something to do!" ”
I didn't say anything, I just felt that this language was never serious, and the rabbit who peed on my neck could be so serious? That kind of unspeakable vicissitudes!
Don't think about anything, what does it have to do with me!
I found a big tree, hid by the tree, and changed into clothes! Straighten the jade pendant around my neck! shook his wet hair; This dress is simply tailor-made for me, and the waist length is just right!
I went back to the door of the miniature hobbit and looked at the talking rabbit with delight: "You say we have something to do?" Do something! ”
The talking rabbit patiently tended to the vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden in front of his door, ignoring me!
"Hey! I'm asking you! "I'm a little impatient!
"Don't you see me taking care of my tomatoes! Can't you talk well? ”
"Tomatoes? You a rabbit doesn't eat turnips and what tomatoes eat! "I'm a little sarcastic!
"My daughter loves tomatoes!" It looked the dress up and down, and its eyes stayed on my jade pendant for a moment: "It's a waste to wear such beautiful clothes on you!" ”
Once again, it left me dumbfounded, and I always didn't know how to respond to its daughter (though I wondered how it gave birth to a human daughter)!
Suddenly I remembered my question: "The water snake spirit was hit by the train, why hasn't it died?" And why did it turn into a transparent water snake when it was a small stream? It's weird."
The talking rabbit stopped what he was doing: "Don't you think it's strange that you're talking to a talking rabbit, what do you think isn't strange here?" The Water Serpent Spirit can't die, because only one person can make it die! ”
"Who?"
The talking rabbit didn't answer me, looking at me with a stunned expression.
"What's wrong with you?"
It pointed above my head and swallowed!
I looked up, countless droplets of water were floating in the sunlight, crystal clear, I touched my hair, it was actually dry! I cautiously stood next to the talking rabbit.
"It's a water snake spirit!" The talking rabbit said as he looked at the droplets.
I looked at it with an incredible expression!
"The water on our bodies is sprinkled on us by the water snake spirit after it has been scattered by the flowers, and as long as we do not dry the water, its scattered droplets can gather together again and find us according to the position of the water!"
"What the hell is this creature?"
"It's your dream, and all the incredible comes from your subconscious! I guess I asked you what creatures you made! ”
I was a little speechless and hesitated for a moment: "I can borrow a train to hit it again!" ”
"You hit it with a train, and it's dead? And now it's still finding us! ”
I looked at the growing number of droplets: "Why is it chasing me?" There are so many animals here, just grab a few and eat them, they all taste better than me! ”
"You think it's meant to eat you?"
"What if it weren't?" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw more and more water droplets in front of me, condensed into two eyes the size of my head, and the head of the snake gradually formed; Not far behind, a strong stream of water rushed in, watching it split into three streams, one rushed to the talking rabbit, one connected with the snake's head, and the other rushed towards me, I and the talking rabbit didn't have time to react, and we were knocked down by the current, the water locked us in the shape of a spider's web, and we were stuck on the ground, my hands and feet were trapped, only my head could still shake, at this moment I only hope that this dream will end quickly!
I was extremely panicked in my heart, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't even speak, and I didn't have time to think of countermeasures, the snake's head rushed towards me, and I closed my eyes tightly in fear, thinking, why haven't I woken up from this dream? Will my little face really melt with stomach acid? Will the internal organs of this water snake spirit be the same as the internal organs of a normal snake? When I thought about it, I only felt that the dripping water fell on my face, could it be its saliva! A powerful breath is pressing on me, am I going to enter its belly?
"Wait!"
Rabbit sounds! Is it dying? Dare to provoke it!
"Don't hurt her, take what you want! It's not your purpose to hurt people, is it? The talking rabbit shouted hard!
I could feel that the water snake spirit listened to the talking rabbit, it didn't come any closer to me, I slowly opened my eyes, my constricted body stretched slightly, I didn't dare to look directly into its eyes, I didn't dare to look at its appearance carefully, I scanned it with my peripheral vision; It slowly closed its basin mouth, it was silent, I began to gradually face it, I don't know whether I was afraid or really disgusted, whether it was a real snake and this water snake all made people goosebumps, uncomfortable!
Its tongue, which makes people feel disgusting when it looks at it, slowly stretches and shrinks closer to me, closer to my neck, what is it going to do? Doesn't it hurt me? They came at me by the neck, did they want to strangle me? I struggled backwards, always feeling like I could dodge it, but as I got closer, my heart raced, my breath was short, could I wake up? Can we put an end to this boundless dream?
Cool, silky sticking to my skin, I was so frightened that I closed my eyes, only to hear a bang, I opened my eyes and looked, it hooked my jade pendant with its slender tongue, I watched my jade pendant get farther and farther away from me, and shouted, "What are you doing with it?" Feed? ”
When the water snake saw me shouting, it opened its mouth at me again, and a strong wind mixed with its saliva pounced on me, and I closed my eyes as if I was reflexive, and stopped for a few seconds, and when it saw that I didn't dare to move again, it left! I know this is warning me!
My face and hair have been soaked with the saliva of the water snake spirit, silently watching its back flying away, and the water that binds me has lost its strength and sprinkled me with water, and I was "drowned" twice in the morning.
I jerked myself to my feet and walked over to the talking rabbit! Looking at its wet whole body, he said, "Why does it want to take my jade pendant!" ”
The rabbit shook off the water and pinched its ears: "That's the key to save its life!"
"What do you mean? That's just an ordinary jade pendant! ”
"Is that jade pendant so ordinary? It's really so ordinary, how can you be so nervous? ”
I want to say more!
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere!"
"A tree?" I stood with the talking rabbit under a plane tree that couldn't see the top!
"Isn't this a simple tree?" The rabbit hurriedly explained!
"Where is it not simple? Is it big? There are so many towering trees in this forest! We've been walking for so long, and you're going to show me a tree? "I'm complaining!
"This tree is thousands of years old! He. ”
I interrupted the talking rabbit, "That's a thousand-year-old tree spirit?" ”
"Who's saying I'm old?"
An old, slow voice startled me, and my gaze shifted from the talking rabbit to the plane tree.
"Old Treant? Are you talking? I asked!
There was no response for a long time, and I was a little puzzled; I only heard the sound of the swaying leaves, and the scattered sycamore leaves fell from the sky, fluttering and sprinkling in the air, graceful and colorful; The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I couldn't help but stretch out my hands, ready to catch the flying "Sycamore Fairy" with my hands, just a little bit to touch my palm, I don't know whether I deliberately avoided me or was afraid that I would disturb its performance, skillfully dodged my hands, they began to gather together, faster and faster, quickly formed a large ball with a diameter of about one meter, and rotated clockwise; I was scared and a little surprised!
I lowered my hands, and the ball stopped; I watched it seriously, waiting for its next performance, and suddenly, it flew towards me, I reacted for a few seconds, and when I saw that it was about to pounce on my face, I instinctively turned around and ran, and before I could take a step, the big ball slammed into my back, and I fell to the ground; I ate a mouthful of soil and grass, but the talking rabbit laughed, came up to me with a fake smile, and said breathlessly, "Yes, I, can I help you?" ”
I raised my head, spat out the soil and grass in my mouth, glared at it viciously, and said, "Get out!" Open! ”
"You're still so polite!"
It's the sound of that damn old tooth dropping again!
I struggled to get up, fluttering the leaves and dust on my body, and I was about to run towards the old tree spirit, when the talking rabbit hurriedly blocked me: "We still have business, don't you want your jade?" ”
I stood there and took a few deep breaths, pretending to be calm and saying, "Okay! How can it help me? ”
The talking rabbit smiled, turned to the old dryad, and pinched its soft rabbit waist: "Don't be angry with the child! It's been a long time since the box was placed! It's the only one who can open chests! ”
"What box?" I'm shouting in the back!
Neither of them paid any attention to me!
At this moment the ground trembled slightly, and a crack opened between my feet, and the gap grew larger and wider, and I hurriedly jumped to the side, as did the talking rabbit.
A thick root with a slippery dirt, tumbling earthworms, and some underground creatures that I can't even name, appeared before us; The roots of this towering plane tree must be deep and strong, and this one is the shallowest and smallest one!
At the end of the root of the tree was a rectangular box, which was slowly brought to me, and I involuntarily stepped back, I couldn't stand the blood-red earthworms and those unknown creatures on the box.
"Take it down!" The talking rabbit stood at my feet and said anxiously.
"No, I won't take it!" I hurriedly shirked it, and I looked disgusted!
"Do you think I'll use you if I can get it? Do you know how many people are rushing to get this box? ”
"Give it to whoever wants it! I don't take it anyway! It has nothing to do with me! "I still say with disgust.
The two of us can't argue, the talking rabbit can't get it, and I refuse to touch it (in fact, I don't dare to touch it, I'm most afraid of soft strip creatures)!
The thousand-year-old tree spirit sighed and slowly put the box on the ground, and as the box hit the ground, the dirt and curved earthworms hanging on the edge also fell, and I hurriedly ducked backwards!
The root of the tree carefully placed the box on the ground, and retreated into the gap, slowly merging the gaps; Another wave of shaking, shaking the flesh on my body is shaking!
The ground returned to its original appearance, stopped shaking, and the talking rabbit nervously rubbed the dirt and the underground creatures on the box, carefully studying the box from the underground!
"What does this box have to do with my jade?" I leaned forward.
"Look at this!"
After listening to the rabbit's words, I squatted down and looked at the position pointed by the talking rabbit, and in the middle of the box there was a mold the size of my ring-shaped jade pendant, and I suddenly realized: "My jade pendant is the key to open this box!" ”
"So we're going to get the keys back!" The talking rabbit stood up.
I also stood up: "Why did the water snake spirit open this box?" What's this box? ”
"Because you have a common enemy!"
"What an enemy, I don't have any enemy!"
"The only one who can kill the Water Serpent is the Ice Warrior, and everything he can do is frozen in ice, and where we are now is where there is very little life left, and the rest of the land is frozen in ice! The Ice Warrior has been at war with the Water Serpent Spirit many times, and it is almost overwhelmed, and I received a revelation from the Prophet Bird a few months ago? ”
"What revelation?" I asked.
"The chest I got in the Evil Desert three years ago contains the only weapon to defeat the Ice Warrior, and a person with a ringed jade pendant will appear, and only he can open the chest!" The talking rabbit looked at me earnestly.
"You mean, this person is me?" I pointed my finger at myself!
"Isn't it obvious?" The talking rabbit asked me rhetorically around its two index fingers.
"Since only I can open the box, why did the water snake spirit come to snatch my jade? It's useless to grab it, right? "I'm confused.
"Uh, is this one? This, that.? "The talking rabbit flickered with his words, and his eyes avoided my gaze!
"What the hell is going on?" My voice decibel up!
"Because I've only spread half the Revelation! I'm telling you that the person who took the ringed jade pendant will appear, but I didn't say that only you can open the box! ”
"Why?" I didn't understand it even more.
"Because I'm protecting you, if the Ice Warrior knew that only you could open the box, he wouldn't hesitate to come and kill you!"
"So I should thank you! Why do you want to spread it? You've put me in danger! "I was angry at it.
"It's much easier for everyone to find you together than for me to find you alone!" The talking rabbit was a little embarrassed, and his words completely lost his confidence.
I paced back and forth, angry and didn't know what to say! I was angry at how I could have had such a dream that was always in danger, I was angry that the prophetic bird had pulled me in, I was angry that the dead rabbit had spread the prophecy, I was angry at everything in front of me! But, what can all this be, wake up from the dream, everything will return to reality, I am still me, the office worker, the one who has never been concerned about me, just a dream, I quietly came to take a deep breath!
"It's just a dream, when I wake up, everything will end, what can I predict, what can I do, what can I do, what can I do? I'm not going to go to the Water Snake Spirit to get the jade pendant back, because I know very well that when I wake up, the jade pendant will hang around my neck! I calmly said to the talking rabbit!
"No, please don't do that, it's a dream to you, but where does it come from? From your subconscious, everything here is the true embodiment of your heart, I exist, everything here exists, do you want every inch of your heart to be frozen? "The talking rabbit was a little excited.
"I don't care, I've always been, the world has nothing to do with me, I don't bother to spend time on anyone or anything, let alone put life and death out of the way! You don't have to talk in vain! "I am categorical in every word, and there is no human affection at all!
"Please, help me, help my daughter. She's frozen! It's been five years, and I'm trying to see her smile again, please help me, help her, okay? "The talking rabbit has wet red eyes and begs me as best he can!
"Alright, don't mention your daughter, the rabbit gave birth to a human girl, don't tease me, but even if it is, I won't help you! I said it always was! "I didn't give it a chance to speak, but turned to leave: a tiger about half a man tall stood in front of me with a leaping stance, in a posture of battle, and his eyes were fixed on me, looking at this delicate, tender delicacy, and his eyes lit up; The sharp fangs were slightly exposed, and the sunlight streaked by, flashing a cross light; I didn't have time to dodge, I didn't have time to think, it pounced on me!
Time stopped at this moment.
