Chapter 5: Dialogue in the White House
The creatures that used to disgust me now make me fall in love with them; Snakes are the creatures I hate and fear the most, and since I have known fear, I have selectively avoided seeing snakes in any form, even if they are small fake toy snakes, I will stay away; But now I find that everything in the world has both good and evil sides, but the perspective is different; The transformed water snake spirit is inseparable from me, I move a step, it moves a step, and I have no fear of it, at least not in this dream.
The rabbit, the tiger still studying the heart, and the water snake that I leaned under the tree and caressed me; The two divine beasts didn't come up with a single result for a long time, so I got up and walked up to them: "What should I do with this heart?" What exactly is the use? ”
The rabbit touched his head: "Let's go and ask people who understand, relying on your stupid heads, it's useless to study to death!" ”
Hearing this, I didn't say a word, and went back: "Are you smart and you have come up with it?" ”
The rabbit was a little embarrassed, but he wanted to save face: "I can't study it, but I can find someone who understands!" You can't do that! As he spoke, the rabbit picked up the bag containing the heart and held it to the tiger with both hands: "I'm careless, hang it on you!" ”
"Wait!" It's the voice of the thousand-year-old tree again. As soon as the words fell, the sycamore leaves began to gather again, this time it was not a big ball, I don't know how many leaves were woven into a small box, and the size of the box was just right for this heart; The little box flew to us on its own.
"Sharp-toothed girl, I will use my thousand-year-old aura to weave an invulnerable box for you, so that this heart of yours will reach where you want to go without fail! No need to thank me now, one day you will thank me! ”
"The heart is not mine, what does it have to do with me if you keep it, what do I have to thank!" Of course, these words are in my heart, and in order to prevent this old dryad from turning into a ball and hitting me again, I better not be quick to talk for a while!
Unusually quiet, I put the heart in the rabbit's hand into the box, put the heart in it, and the box was automatically sewn shut and hung on the body of the patterned tiger. Everything magical in this dream, everything incredible, has made me get used to it, even strange!
"Let's go!" The rabbit was so anxious that he walked in the direction where the Ice Armor Man went; The patterned tiger followed.
"Hey, rabbit, where are you going, what are you doing? What are you anxious about? "I stood there questioning these two divine beasts.
The rabbit didn't look back, and strode forward as if he couldn't hear.
"Water snakes, stop them!" As soon as I finished speaking, the water snake flew at the same speed as it stood in front of them, and the two divine beasts saw this situation and stood there, the rabbit was too frightened to move, and although the tiger did not move, its face was hideous, and its sharp teeth were bared.
I walked slowly up to them, and the serpent moved behind me.
"You have a ghost in your heart, and you say, what's wrong?" I bent over and pointed to the rabbit.
"Well, this, that," the rabbit didn't dare to look at me, and drooped his ears, as if he had done something wrong.
"If you don't tell me, what's wrong?" The water snake heard that my voice increased decibels, and cleverly pointed its sharp sword head at the rabbit.
The timid rabbit was frightened, his eyes closed and he shouted: "The jade is gone, the jade is gone!" ”
My smug expression gradually disappeared: "What do you mean to be gone, isn't it on that box!" ”
I was just about to walk in the direction of the box, and the rabbit hurriedly said, "It's really gone, I've been looking for it for a long time, it's really gone!" ”
Without saying a word, I froze there, and time stopped at this moment.
I walked for a long time with the two "divine beasts", I couldn't see the scenery on both sides, as if I was in the darkness again, I only felt that the road under my feet, the more I walked, the colder it became, the kind of cold to the bottom of people's hearts, penetrated my heart; The faint little light I used to have was gone with the jade pendant. I can't walk, I can't take a step on my legs, I can't see the light, the darkness descends on my world, the cold soaks into my body, they devour every drop of my blood, strangle every cell of mine, my mind is chaotic, I am so cold, so afraid, so tired; Finally collapsed on this cold and bone-chilling land.
Is this a relief? I think so. Somehow, the land became soft, but even then it could not withstand its coldness; I had a splitting headache, as if there were thousands of poisonous snakes soaked in the blood of my brain, they sucked my blood freely, devoured my thoughts, I didn't want to open my eyes, I didn't want to resist, I was afraid that when I opened my eyes, it was a barren land, I was alone, and I didn't know why I had to fight against it; Thinking of living alone, I would rather die happily. It was getting colder and colder, and I began to curl up in my body, and I hugged myself tightly with that aching hand, giving myself some last warmth. Gradually, the headache stops, are they full, or have I reached a world without pain? In a daze, I vaguely heard a male, gentle voice calling my name: "Du Duo? Dudot? ”
It's really a strange thing to hear my name called; It turns out that there are still people who remember me, and there are people who remember my name! Is it true? Could it be my fantasy? I could only hear: "Du Duo, are you okay?" The man's voice was very gentle.
"Who are you?" I didn't open my eyes and replied softly. Then try to listen with your ears and wait for it to reply.
"Why don't you open your eyes and see for yourself who I am?" The voice had a somewhat defiant tone.
"I don't care who you are, it doesn't matter!" I pretended to be calm.
"Don't you dare!? Because you are afraid, cowardly, cowardly, am I right? The man said.
"It's not important!" I hesitated.
"It's really not important, but you're not even afraid of death, why are you so afraid to face me and yourself? Do you think you're too ugly? Too disgusting? Too vicious? Too pathetic? Too lonely? Too. ”
"Shut up!" I interrupted, sat up sharply, and opened my eyes! But as I predicted, it was pitch black.
"Who are you? Where is this? "I yelled at the darkness, and I didn't know where the strength came from.
After waiting for a few seconds, there was no reply except for the sound of his own gasp. Impatient, I was about to shout, and suddenly it lit up; I subconsciously blocked my eyes with my hands to avoid the light from stabbing my eyes; I faintly felt some pain in the wound on my hand; I squinted slightly as I saw that my hands were wrapped in gauze. Looking around, there was nothing but a white wall, and he sat on a white bed; I got out of bed barefoot, the floor was soft, and when I walked to the wall, the wall was also soft, and there was nothing in the whole room except for the bed, and I was a little panicked and overwhelmed when I saw such a scene; I walked to the door, but there was no handle to open the door, which meant that the door could only be opened from the outside, and there was a small window at the top of the door. It is a closed room. Looking at the bandaged injured hand and a hospital gown, how do you think this is like a human laboratory? I was scared and knocked frantically on the door, shouting, "Where is this?" Let me out! ”
In the midst of my shouting, the male voice returned: "This is your world, no one knows where this is?" And only you can let yourself out! ”
Hearing his words, I stopped, leaned against the door, and sat down on the ground, and my face was full of tears. Puzzled, I began to say to myself, "My world? Yes, my world is just me. ”
"Du Duo, Du Duo?"
The chaotic brain, the unclear gaze, searched for the male voice, but it was still just the voice that sounded in my ears.
"Do you take a good look at your world, is it really just you?"
"And who else? You tell me who else? "I broke down to the extreme, I screamed, I was resentful, I didn't understand why no one could feel my loneliness?
"Where's your rabbit? What about tigers? And the water serpent who is willing to turn into a weapon for you? Where are they? They're always with you, but what about you? ”
"It's all a dream, it's not real, when I wake up from the dream, there's nothing, I'm still myself, and now even the pendant is lost, I have nothing." My tone grew calmer.
"It's true that you have nothing, but it's not that others have left you, it's you, it's your own choice; Is the pendant really lost? Even if you lose it? What about your options? Why not get it back? Is that really a dream? Is it a dream or reality, is it important to you? Is it necessary to distinguish so clearly? You are so cowardly and indifferent even in your dreams, no wonder you are so unbearable in reality. ”
"I didn't, I didn't, I, I didn't." I interrupted him with a red face and a weak heart.
"You didn't? It is you who are far away from your friends, or even look at them coldly, so that your friends lose their lives; With such indifference, who can treat you with bare hearts? It is also your own refusal to let go of your childhood, holding on to your parents' faults, and forcing your biological parents to stay away from you; It is also that you yourself love vanity, and you are overwhelmed, so that the people who love you will endure and go away, and even the pendant will not stay on you; You pushed away everyone's love, and then went to be lonely with self-pity, and even punished those who love you with your life, you are really selfish and hypocritical, ruthless and unrighteous. ”
"Shut up, shut up for me." His piercing words infuriated me completely, and I yelled at the empty room. kept shouting "shut up"; Until the light is gone.
Maybe I was tired, maybe I really felt that I was hateful, I collapsed to the ground, and began to curl up again, burying my head deeply, I fell into hell, the abyss, I didn't want to get up, I didn't want to see anyone, I just wanted to fall and rot in this dark hole, even if it was eaten by maggots, and I didn't want to see the light of this world again, so that my dirty and cold heart would be buried forever.
I don't know how long it took, the tears on my face dried, the sobbing stopped, and I began to calm down. My world was so quiet, I just kept my eyes closed, and I tried a few times with my breathing slow, but I couldn't say anything. The strange thing is that the man seems to be able to see through everything about me, or rather, I am naked in his eyes, maybe I dare not open my eyes, and it is also my "unclothed" shyness! Who wants to be seen so thoroughly? But who doesn't want to have a voice that knows you by your side? He seemed to really understand me, and his voice rang out again.
"What do you want to ask me?" The man said.
"I, am I still worthy of light?" I finally said it.
"Everyone deserves light, but it depends on how you do it? The light is there, it has never moved, but what is your choice? Avoid it, or hug it? ”
I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know how to answer, let alone what to do.
"Can you let me out?" I was thinking: no matter where the pendant is, no matter what you want to do next, you have to get out first!
"Why did you go out?"
"Why? Because there are still people who need me. When I answered him, I had a rabbit in my mind, a tiger with a pattern, and my water snake sword, and the jade pendant.
"Who needs you?"
"Rabbits, they're waiting for me." Without thinking, I blurted out.
"Didn't you say it was a dream? If it's a dream, is it still important? ”
"It doesn't matter if it's a dream or a reality, what matters is that there are people there who need me." I don't know why, I said something like that. I myself was amazed; I'm so selfish and indifferent, I can still think of other people's needs, am I still the same person?
Gradually, the darkness outside my eyelids began to fade, and Sisi's faint light swayed in front of my eyes, and gradually, this light became more and more dazzling, and the soft ground became hotter and hotter. I covered my eyelid with my right hand, and slowly opened my eyes, the bright light in my vision was shaking violently, but I could vaguely see the outline, I looked at it carefully, yes, it was the rabbit's head; I rolled my eyes, and the tiger's head poked out.
"Wake up, wake up, finally wake up"!
It can't be wrong, the noisy rabbit sound undoubtedly confirms that I have returned to my dream again.
