Outside the volume Outside the volume 1: Youth and Flower Sleep
Revelation: I'm just a dream elf, and my job is: to find abandoned cities and people. In fact, I want to spend the time writing a poem to wait for love and dwelling to come.
One
A tweed sounded in my ears, and it seemed like I had been asleep for a long, long time.
At that time, he was standing in front of me, he didn't know what he wanted to say, I heard in a daze, he seemed to have said something, and I didn't know what people heard him say.
I just know that his voice is very good, and hearing his voice from afar is like a rain falling into a world of flowers and bones, which is beautiful and reassuring.
But I was really sleeping, and vaguely, I seemed to hear something.
I heard him say, "No small complaint can ruin a huge dream, thank you for reviving me before I am destroyed......"
It seems to be saying something later, but I'm so sleepy that I don't want to hear it.
Then, I fell asleep.
Two
I don't know how long it has been.
The flower-colored flowers of the dream have bloomed, the long-lost world unfolds before my eyes, and I know that I am awake again.
When I woke up, I suddenly had a strong thought, and I wanted to ask: How are you now?
However, this sentence, which was supposed to be a question, turned into a declarative sentence.
The ethereal song sounded from afar, and the melody was like a pair of gentle hands, pouring light through the branches of the summer trees.
Turn the hour and minute hands back to stop every speck of dust flying in the air.
The old face returned to the unfading tone of youthful trance.
The garden of love grows in the palm and back of the hand, and the ordinary world, in the extraordinary flowers, is hazy with mysterious and beautiful colors.
An elf awakens in a bud, yes, that's me.
I'm a dream elf.
The petals are stretching, and the alluring fragrance is permeating.
"Ah~ How long have I been asleep!"
I stretched my languid body, let out a long yawn, and woke up from my sweet sleep, opening my big, beautiful eyes with long eyelashes, and looking around at the world.
Clear blue sky, glowing river, clear sunshine, noisy cicadas, luxuriant trees and blooming flowers.
Such a simple world, such a clear time.
All right! I forgot to tell you: I am a dream elf and I only have one job, and that is to help unhappy children and find happiness in dreams.
My job, so to speak, is to find abandoned cities and people.
I don't know what's the point of doing this, the only thing I know is to find the unhappy child and finish my job so that I can sleep peacefully again.
At this moment, that strong thought came again.
I really want to ask, "How are you now?" “
However, what was supposed to be a question turned out to be a declarative sentence.
But I really don't know who I'm going to ask.
Who do you ask......
I kept asking myself.
Long.
I think I must have gone crazy at that time.
I tried to look into the distance to calm my mind.
Three
The flower I slept on was so beautiful that I don't know how to describe it.
When it was a bud, I moved in.
I slept for a long, long time.
I don't know how long.
You know, elves live too long, and elves are easy to forget.
So, after a sleep, I don't remember anything.
I just remember that the last time I went to sleep this flower was still a bud, a bud in the spring. And now, it's still spring, but the buds have bloomed, and I'm awake.
I think I must have slept for a century, a century later and spring again.
Oh! Oh my God, that thought came again.
I must have forgotten about it! Forget it!
So, I tried to wave my beautiful white wings, which had not moved for a long time, once, twice, three times, and finally it came to sense.
With the flowers farewell, I flew towards a distant city, and only by flying there could I finish my job.
I'm a workaholic through and through.
Although sometimes I encounter beautiful flowers, I will stop and kiss them; When I encounter a huge and lush old tree, I will perch on it and then enjoy a quiet time.
But I'm really trying to fly, and who can fly faster than an elf?
Elves are the most beautiful thing in the world.
"In my opinion, the better the better, the faster it flies."
It seems that someone has said this to me, who is it?
I don't remember!
Sky! That strong thought came again!
I think I'm going to forget about it soon, it's going to affect my work.
Four
So, in half a day, I flew to the city.
The city is really bad.
The sky was dark and gloomy, many moving "big boxes" were emitting suffocating colorless gases, some noisy big houses had thick black smoke emitted from time to time, and the winds and sand that blurred the eyes, a foul-smelling garbage heap was disgusting, and the choking smell of water was discharged into the river, and the bird and fish that had last greeted me were long gone.
What I hate the most is a big house with the words "Garden Things Move", there are so many animals locked up, although the scenery is good, but this has violated the right to freedom of animals, and there are queues of people, who are still giggling to see and tease these poor and melancholy animals, I want to let them go, but this is not my job, it is not my job, I should not do it, this is the principle of every elf.
That's why every time I pass by this big house that says "Garden Things Move", I stop for a long time.
"The city is such a terrible place."
It seems that someone has said this to me before.
Who is it?
No way! Can't think about it!
You know, I can't think about the reason.
I flew in a hurry, seemingly familiar with the place.
However, I found any memories of this place in my mind, you know, elves are forgetful, I don't remember anything other than who I am, and my job!
But why do I remember the bad things in the bad city?
I do not know.
Like at the moment I shouldn't remember the road, but I just know that I flew into the road, and there are a lot of "big boxes" and a lot of people on the road.
Those "big boxes" on the road can actually move! It also made a noise that I hated, and not only that, but it actually blocked the road!
Luckily, I'm an elf, and I can fly away lightly.
But people nowadays are so annoying!
Just now, an inexplicable thing suddenly flew out of a "big box", and it almost hit me, so I had to fly away quickly.
Five
After such a frightened and long flight, I was so tired and tired! I found a flower that was already in full bloom, and I slept sweetly in it.
Why don't I look for buds, you ask?
First of all, humans can't see me;
Then, and most importantly, the bud can only sleep after completing the task, which is a long sleep! And I'm just resting now, yes, resting, I'm not lazy!
Finally, I would like to say that I am so sleepy.
You know, elves are very sleepy, of course, it's not lazy, we elves are not lazy!
I'm going to rest, no more nonsense.
Hmm~ This flower is so fragrant......
When I woke up, it was already dusk, and the flowers I chose could just see the sunset, and the sunset was sandwiched between two high-rise buildings, like the imprisoned Kuafu, even if he used up his life, he would leave a beautiful place for the world.
The faint afterglow fills this place, and it is stunning!
At this time, a large group of children ran out of the bell with a squeak.
It turns out that this is an elementary school!
Hey~
How did I remember the word "elementary school"?
Seven
I stretched my waist and sat on the buds, observing the groups of children who were going home, and it was really hard to find unhappy children now!
Hmm, I seem to be thinking of someone again.
Forget it, don't think about it!
To continue what I just said:
In the past, when looking for unhappy children, just look at the face, and see who pouts and wrinkles their faces, they must be unhappy. But today's children are pretending to be themselves, obviously unhappy, but still showing smiling faces to others, obviously have a lot to say, but still bury them deep in their hearts, sadness and tears seem to have been hidden by them without edges and corners, and I don't know what makes today's children no longer innocent.
"Where did the lost beauty and innocence go?"
I don't know why I feel this way, it seems that someone has told me about it.
No, I found a boy.
He was dressed in white.
"He always likes to wear white!"
My mouth muttered.
Hey? Why did I say this suddenly?
I looked at the boy again, and said unconsciously, "Boy, boy~"
Suddenly, that thought came again!
I suppressed my thoughts and flew over.
He was walking with his parents, talking something, and although the boy kept laughing, with the keen eyes of my dream elf, I still found the frustration and sadness in his eyes.
I blatantly followed them, for humans cannot see the spirits.
However, as soon as I flew in front of the boy, the boy was visibly stunned, his eyes fixed on me, and I stared at him.
He...... Looks like you can probably see me!
More than! He can really see me!
That boy actually reached out and seemed to grab me?!
I was so frightened that I flew away until I hid and was not discovered.
He ...... He ......"
I gasped and couldn't say a word.
I secretly looked at the boy, the boy, who he looked like! Who......
By the way, just now in front of him, that thought of mine came again, and it was even extremely strong!
I almost said it!
And yet, I know, what if I say it?
It's going to be like what I just said in my heart.
"Are you okay now?"
This sentence, which was supposed to be a question, turned into a declarative sentence.
You know, elves are easy to forget, but why haven't I forgotten it for so long?
I do not know.
But I tell you: I'm definitely a purebred dream elf!
Eight
The boy didn't come to chase me, just quietly watched me fly away, the frustration in his eyes flooded, he lowered his head and followed his parents with low self-esteem.
As I watched his actions, I couldn't help but feel some self-reproach and pity in my heart.
I quietly followed him, and he was silent and didn't speak the whole way.
I went home with him, and his family is a medium-sized family, although the family is not large, it is also considered to be well-equipped.
After he had dinner with his family, his parents hurried to work overtime.
Life in the city is very hard, often work hard for most of their lives, and they can't make anything, not everyone is lucky, some people have to hide desperately to fill their stomachs, and often, this kind of life always makes them ignore a lot of things.
These are all things that I read from the book, as an elf, in fact, many people do not understand the world, and for this passage, I think, poetic and colloquial, is: "If you are in a hurry to find the moon, then you will ignore many stars." “
And this sentence seems to have been said to me by someone as well.
In this boy's home, I had a different feeling, well, a wonderful feeling.
That thought is gone!
Hahaha, I'll tell you all: I'm a purebred dream elf!
Nine
Because I was afraid of being caught, I hid in the dark and quietly paid attention to the boy, who was very sensible and did his housework without making noise or noise.
Then he went back to his room, and I followed, and he sat at his desk quietly doing his homework, he was silent and did his homework very carefully.
The boy was in sixth grade, and I saw the words "sixth grade" in his homework book.
Don't ask me why I know human words!
Just like you don't ask yourself, "Why are you eating"!
I watched him finish his homework.
He suddenly walked to the window and looked at the world alone.
His house is on the third floor, and when you look out, that's what the city looks like.
The night is hazy, the city is already brightly lit, there are still a lot of "big boxes" driving on the neon colorful highways, and people appear on the streets from time to time, but they are no longer so noisy, and the voices of the ups and downs are far away from his home, he is very quiet, his home is very quiet, the world next to his home is also very quiet, even the cat is lying there quietly.
The wind blew and the trees rustled.
At this time, the ant that passed me and was climbing up told me that it was going to rain and that it needed to take shelter from it higher.
Ten
The rain really started.
And he was already asleep.
The sky sifted through countless silver filaments and descended on the earth like a swarm of elves, yes, like me, for I am a dream elf!
Rain and fog fill the world, fill the city, there is no light, but there is no darkness to be found, yes, I don't know why I have such thoughts.
I know very well that the world is either light or dark, but I just came up with such thoughts, just like I remember some memories even though I don't remember, it's strange, it's very strange!
In short, the rain was already very heavy, and the sound of ticking fell like a rain of gunshots.
He's unhappy, I know, he's unhappy!
I thought: I should give him some right to be happy, let him find happiness, taste happiness, for example, use my ability to let him find happiness in his dreams!
In the end, I mustered up a lot of courage to enter his dream, and I don't know why I had to muster up the courage, but I did it!
However, when I entered his dream, I took a look.
I was instantly stunned!
Because......
Because......
Because his dreams are happy!
And......
And I actually exist!
Eleven
At this moment, I have come out of his dream, I have finished his dream, yes, I know everything!
I know why I wake up with that strong thought!
I know why I remember the city, the road, and the elementary school!
I see, why I chose this boy in the first place!
I see, why I always feel like I've heard a lot of things from someone!
I know, that person is right in front of my eyes!
Yes, all because of that boy!
And now, all my memories are back!
You know, I'm an elf, how can an elf remember so many things!
But I remember it all!
And that's all because of the boy!
Yes, I love him!
But don't get me wrong, it's not the love of love, I'm a male elf, I forgot to tell you, elves also have gender.
And this love is called "friendship" by my people, so let's call it "friendship"!
twelve
It's been many days, and I've been exposed, and I'm playing together.
"You know, the elves are going to sleep!"
I said to him.
"It's okay, you see, I specially bought a pot of flowers, and in the future, you will sleep here!"
He laughed.
He already knew what I called "long sleep", and it was only a matter of two or three days for him.
And I still have a job!
I pouted.
He seemed to guess my mind and smiled: "You see, if you leave, I will not be happy, and if you are by my side, I will be happy." So you've already completed the task with me! And it's over-the-top! “
"That's right!"
As soon as I heard him say this, I immediately got excited.
However, because of the completion of the mission, I am going to sleep tonight.
He looked at me with a smile and was silent.
I wrote a paragraph before I went to bed, in his notebook!
He was writing the story of me and him, and I was so excited that I immediately added a message, which said: I am just a dream elf, and my job is: to find abandoned cities and people. In fact, I want to spend the time writing a poem to wait for love and dwelling to come.
I asked him to write a paragraph at the end, a true voice of my heart.
I fell asleep after that.
As a dream elf, I actually dreamed, I dreamed of him!
He stood in front of me and I could hear what he said very clearly.
He said: "No small complaint can ruin a huge dream, thank you for accompanying me in resuscitation before I am destroyed, I love you!" “
I laughed when I heard his words.
A baker's dozen
You may not know that the pot of flowers I slept in will bloom one night!
So, this is simply what he bought on purpose.
I didn't even see what he was laughing at!
Hum!
Still, I'm so happy!
Because every day I can play with him!
Although I still don't know what kind of flower it is.
But that doesn't matter anymore!
fourteen
The stars are like the sea, and the vastness is like a dream.
The boy slept with a flower every night.
There's a smell that's spreading, and I know it's called "happiness"!
Boy and Huamian, this is the best testimony of friendship!
fifteen
I know it's the end!
Here's what I'm going to say!
Listen up:
Boy, I love you too.
In fact, I want to spend the time writing a poem to wait for love and dwelling to come.
