Chapter 1: The Talking Rabbit and the Water Serpent
I don't know how long I haven't heard the sound of a bird's song, let alone the cuckoo's singing; Feel like you're in another away from the hustle and bustle of the city? How to describe it? Deep in the woods, in paradise, or in Narnia? Think too much! But how to explain the melodiousness and reverberation of this cuckoo? There is also the freshness of the grass that wafts through the nose, the fishy tide of the earth, the smell of all kinds of creatures; I could feel the nascent sunlight swaying through the leaves between my closed eyes as the leaves swayed; This is something that I can rarely experience 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from nature, no car exhaust, no dust, no impetuous pure sunshine! Every time I fall asleep, I unconsciously put my left hand in the atrium, I don't know what kind of creature is touching the fingers of my left hand, fluffy and warm; Slowly moving to my neck, a warm current flowed down the middle of my neck to both sides, and there was a smell of urine, filling my nose, and all this confused beauty was shattered at once; I reluctantly tried to open a small slit between my eyes, and tried to focus my eyes from a blurred state to a plush ball that was only a centimeter away from me, swinging back and forth? I raised my right hand and rubbed my eyes, and looked at it carefully: it was clearly the tail of some kind of animal with hair! I touched the unidentified liquid on my neck again and smelled it! Oh, my God! Isn't that just pee! I slammed to my feet, and the thing rolled onto my legs, and I grabbed it so hard that I don't know which part! I threw it out with all my might! I don't know where I threw it, and I didn't hear the sound of it clattering to the ground, whatever!
I lowered my head and kissed the moist soil with my bare feet, and some green vegetation came out of the delicate soil, some vegetation that could not be named, vegetation that I had never seen in the city! I heard a chirp above my head, and I followed the sound; On a branch of a large tree with no head in sight stands one? Is that a bird? Is it a phoenix? Is it a peacock? What is he? White feathers, sharp beak, head seems to be wearing a white crown, wings close to this body, a meter-long tail hanging casually on the branches, arrogant eyes look at me, full of unshaven and cold! It was that haughty beauty that caught my eye, and I took a step forward, not knowing if it was my approach that put it in danger, or for some reason, it flapped its wings and flew up, and my gaze moved with it, and inadvertently flew out of the bushes! I watched it for a long time, a chill woke me up, I began to notice the surroundings, this is the deep forest, the sun is slightly blocked by the foliage, the thin mist surrounds every living thing here, is this a fairyland? I gulped in the clean air and enjoyed the natural forest oxygen! I knew it was my dream, and I had to construct a good dream for myself, and although I would wake up at any time, at least it was still there!
"Hey!"
What was that? Shocked by my sweet dreams? I reluctantly turned my head, no one, where did the voice come from?
"Look down!"
I heard the sound and looked down: "The mouse that has been standing, no, the mouse that has been standing and can still talk?" ”
"I'm obviously a rabbit, but have you ever seen a mouse with such long ears?" The rat pinched its waist and moved its ears slightly backwards.
I stared at it in amazement with my mouth wide open and stared at it for a long time!
Seeing that I didn't reply, the rabbit didn't move for a long time, and he was a little confused!
"Ah~~" I shouted out my fear from the bottom of my heart! I turned around and ran, no direction, no mind to pay attention to the bumps under my feet, I don't know how far I ran, I don't know how long I ran, I just felt that my pace was a little hard, out of breath, I hunched over and stopped, gasping for breath, gasping for a moment and looking back, I didn't keep up, and I was a little relieved.
There was a stream a few meters ahead, I was really thirsty after running for so long, I walked straight over, squatted down, this water is not filtered and boiled, can I drink it? I looked at the clear stream and hesitated, the creatures in the water ate and drank all here, and drinking this water was not equivalent to drinking everything they metabolized? Hey? Why is this little fish swimming so panicked? How did the water stop and not flow? I put my hand into the water, and the water slowly broke away from the ground, slowly moving upward, and the whole stream stopped in the air parallel to my eyes, converging into a cylindrical shape, overcoming the gravitational pull of the earth? It circled from my left side to my right side, and I was at a loss for what to do, my eyes followed the current of the circulating water, and I don't know how many times, until at last, a huge transparent snake head made of water stopped in front of me, looking at me with slightly squinted blue eyes; I looked at it, and my head was full of its fascination eyes, as if it had taken away my soul, and I was in its blue world, so beautiful, so relaxed, I don't know if this is the feeling after taking drugs!
"Run!"
This shout from behind me woke me up, and in front of me was a mouth big enough to swallow my entire head, and I wanted to pounce on me, but I grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, raised it on its eyes, and staggered desperately behind me!
I ran as hard as I could, looking back from time to time, and the talking rabbit followed me, and in a panic, I tripped over something, and fell heavily and ate; The talking rabbit sped past like lightning, and I looked up and saw me lying on the ground, and it turned back: "Get up! The water snake spirit is about to catch up! ”
"I've been running all morning, I can't run!" I struggled to stand up, threw the dirt on my body, and said very irritably.
"Do you want to be her breakfast?" The talking rabbit stood upright and looked at me.
"You're a rabbit spirit, can't you think of a way?"
"I'm so small, I can't beat it, besides, I've saved you once, if it weren't for me, your little face would have been disfigured by its stomach acid!"
"You, if it weren't for you, how could I have run to the creek? You have to be responsible! "I'm a scoundrel.
The rabbit sneered and said helplessly: "What's the responsibility, this is your dream, not mine."
It dawned on me that this was a dream, this was my dream, even if I was eaten, I would still be me when I woke up!
I turned to look in the direction that the water snake spirit was chasing, and waited for her to pounce on me without hiding, and the talking rabbit said anxiously, "Run, do you really want to be breakfast?" ”
I ignored its words, closed my eyes, and listened carefully to the rumble of the train as it passed every morning, and the amazing roar as it approached the finish line! I remember when a person holding a wine glass and looking at the shuttle train alone, it came, as I saw on weekdays, carrying all kinds of people with different hearts, galloping from the left side, unabashedly breaking through the big and long water snake spirit, the water splashed all over the sky, I opened my eyes!
It was still the white square lamp with lace hanging in the ceiling, it was still the rumbling of the irritating train passing by, it was still the occasional frightening sound, I sat up suddenly, gently touched my soft bed, and woke up that everything was there, I was still me, me in reality!
My name is Du Duo, 27 years old, HR, I have worked for 5 years, I have never increased my salary or been promoted; I took out a loan to buy a 30-square-meter single apartment, and I didn't have any balance every month except for the mortgage and food, drink, and Lazar, and the deposit was a luxury dream; has lived alone for five years, not only does he not have a boyfriend, but he even has only a handful of friends, his little friends are either married or have children, he has little contact with his relatives, and he is watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV alone during the New Year, an absolute lone ranger!
With a tired brain, he brushed his teeth mechanically with a toothbrush, looked at himself in the mirror, and did what he would do every morning.
I don't know if it's the same people in the elevator every day when I go downstairs, because I never noticed, what does it have to do with me? They are all passers-by in life, what is the difference between communication and non-communication, contact and non-contact.
It's another rainy day! I never look at the weather forecast, I never carry an umbrella, I stand at the door of the corridor, and the only thought is to rush out! He pulled up his trouser legs, put the bag on his head, took a deep breath, and slammed it out.
Hurrying to the road under my feet, even on a rainy day, it could not stop the exhaust fumes and dust of the cars in the city, and I held my breath for fear of inhaling the heavily polluted air. After walking for so many years, where there will be water, where it will be slippery, where there will be cars, and many people are all in my heart. The shuttle bus was on the other side of the road, I put down the bag on top of my head, glanced at the car on the right, thinking that it would not drive so fast on this rainy day, and there was no traffic light, I rushed over.
