Chaos Era, Spring Festival Extra-Chrono Letter
[Although the beginning of the year of Gengzi was not smooth, we will definitely be able to defeat the virus! Defeat the epidemic! Come on, China! 】
[Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, I can't do anything at home, I have nothing to do, I turned over those apocalyptic movies again, and suddenly remembered a topic that the teacher often asked me to write when I was in school: Write a letter to myself ten years later, perhaps, TA received it? ] 】
In 2012, the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world spread all over the world, and a little girl also knew about this prophecy, she was curious if the world would really have an end of the world, and she even thought that it would be good if the end of the world started again. She thinks about the world with a 16-year-old IQ, she feels that her life before the age of 16 is really bad, she feels terrible just thinking about it, she has a strong desire to escape from here, and even has the idea of suicide, but she can't do it, so she is looking forward to the end of the world, she turned out the old calendar at home and started the countdown.
Strange to say, she hesitated as the date drew closer. Especially two months before the end of the world, she received a mysterious letter, she had never seen the style of the envelope, she only thought it was very beautiful, the paper of the letter was also very good, the blue print of the letter was her favorite pattern, and the letter was written like this:
To Asha:
16-year-old Axia, I am 26-year-old you, recently I was in a bad mood, I wanted to talk about college roommates, we made an appointment in Fuzhou's three lanes and seven lanes to relax, because it is the National Day, there are a lot of people who play, in order to avoid the crowd, we saw the oil paper umbrella, walked to the depths of the alley, turned right and actually had a store called "Time and Space Station", the decoration is very retro, we walked into the store by curiosity, there was a girl in the store, her hair was dyed with very tide grandma gray, very cold and did not like to take care of people. She smiled wickedly when she saw someone pushing the door in, and the smile was imperceptible, but she just told us not to make noise after entering the store, to watch freely, and to do whatever we wanted.
I exchanged glances with Dayue and Xiaojuan, which meant: "This shop is a little interesting." ”
Tucked away in the middle of the city, the store is small and has a library-like layout, separated by long, tall bookshelves, so it's hard to see how big the store is.
I went to the second row of shelves on the left, every two steps was actually a turn, but the furnishings on both sides of the shelves were very attractive, I saw the input, and I didn't care, about six or seven turns, I became alert, so I began to retreat, but the display on the shelves actually became different, the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't get out, like a maze, I pretended to be calm, and began to whisper the names of Dayue and Xiaojuan, but I didn't receive a response......
In broad daylight, these two stinky girls won't be connected to make a prank on me! Really!
I raised my voice a few degrees and said, "Hey, Da Yue, Xiao Juan, I know you're playing a prank!" Stop playing, it's not fun at all, I'm angry if I don't come out again! ”
Time is one second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes.... In the past, my voice was engulfed in this increasingly eerie space, and the air was eerily quiet and unresponsive......
The passage of time began to manifest itself in direct proportion to the fear in my heart, and I continued to find my way through the labyrinth with the little reason I still had, but it seemed that there was nothing to gain other than to consume my physical strength...... I don't know how Dayue is doing, will they encounter the same ghost situation as me? The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and at this time a female voice came from the radio, the background music is a terrible tone that is often found in ghost movies, and the atmosphere can only be described with horror, and I am already hairy in my heart, but reason tells me: Don't panic and don't panic...... Carefully recognized, it was the girl's voice, and she said:
"You can see this space-time station and walk in, which proves that we are destined, but this is not a place for you to enter and leave as you want, you need to play a game with me. When the game is over, you can leave here, and it's up to you to decide how you leave. ”
"Can I not play this game with you?" I, Dayue and Xiaojuan said in unison.
As if she hadn't heard, she ignored us and continued: "Now that you have a table in front of you, paper and pen are ready for you, you have a chance to talk to yourself in any time and space in the past, go back to the past what you want to do, what you can do, whether you end up making a wish or causing a bad result, you will bear the consequences. ”
But we both heard each other's voices, and seized the opportunity to shout at the ceiling: "How are you guys, are you all right..."
When the voices of Dayue and their "I'm okay, I'm okay" came back, and it was a long silence, and no matter how much I called, there was no response......
Fortunately, I confirmed that they were all safe, and I was not so scared in my heart, so I began to work hard to do psychological construction work for myself, closing my eyes and reciting in unison: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and if you come, you will be safe, and if you come there is no Amitabha, you will be safe......
When I opened my eyes, I found that there were a few more blue printed letterheads on the table, which was the style I liked~ Looking around at no one, although my eyes were closed just now, my hearing was still good...... What happened? When did this letter arrive on the table? Even if it was the psychological construction that I had just done, I couldn't help but beat the drum again in my heart......
I clutched the blue printed letter in my hand, and my head was running at a speed that I had never seen before, as if I wanted to call up all the cleverness that would be born and use it at any time, but reason once again told me that it was most important not to waste attention and conserve physical strength at this time.
Suddenly, Mei Chaofeng's laughter rang out, and she added: "Paper and pen are your tools, and when you write down how old you are when the recipient is, the game really begins!" What you can do is to write a letter to yourself at that time, as for what to write and how many words I don't care, just the opportunity of 3 letters, your letter may be able to move you in the past, it is good to make up for your shortcomings at that time (to prove that you did not come in vain), but it is also possible that it will backfire, not only can you not change anything, but also may have a worse result, and you will never be able to get out of this labyrinth......" Then the voice became farther and farther away, I felt like flesh and blood were torn, and the picture of white bones appeared in my mind, The pores all over the body stood up at the right time, and I shivered and shivered...... My inner os: MMP, what the hell is the place, I have to find a way to get out of it........
Isn't it just writing letters? I write!
I have explained so much to you earlier, I hope that the 16-year-old you have the patience to read such a long text. 16 years old, it's 2012, I don't know if you're going to get this bizarre letter, and I don't know if you're going to write me back and accompany me and this boring shopkeeper through this somewhat terrifying game.
Recently, I'm crying, I don't know why, I can't stand a little setback, I feel like I'm all kinds of bad, I can't do anything, and my memory is getting worse and worse, 16 years old? What are you worried about at 16? I'm sorry, I can't remember it at all......
But I think there should be troubles, right?,Although I'm not doing very well now.,But a 26-year-old IQ should be able to solve a 16-year-old problem.,I hope you can tell me.,Write me back.,If I can really hear from you.,Then this boring shopkeeper has done something interesting and meaningful.。
The 26-year-old Asha who is looking forward to replying to the letter
2022.10.1
After reading the letter, 16-year-old Asha thought it was simply incredible, 26-year-old me? That is, I write to me in 2022? How is that possible?! She wondered if it was someone playing a prank, wondering if she should reply...... At this time, there was a creak, the wooden door was opened, and she knew that it should be her mother who had returned, so she quickly folded the letter and stuffed it into her school bag.
My sister came out of the room and said, "Mom! You're back, my rice is cooked, and the dish is hot and ready to eat. While skillfully raising the stove again, waiting for the pot to be hot, the vegetables were stir-fried and the family began to eat lunch.
On weekdays, Axia thinks that her mother is the weakest mother in the world, but today's mother is a little different, she doesn't say anything or show her emotions, she hides it very well, and when the meal is over, she takes everyone's dishes and chopsticks and cleans them up.
Intuitively, Ah Xia couldn't tell what was strange about her mother, but she knew that there must be something in her mother's heart!
Later, Ah Xia knew from his father that his mother had made a very important decision that day.
Before 2012, everyone in the Asha family once suspected that life was bleak, and they didn't know how life would go on.
16-year-old Asha is struggling to resolve the pain in her heart, she needs someone to talk to, and she is eager for help. She remembered the mysterious letter. She found her homework sheet and began to write:
"In the dim light, there was a person who was familiar with the various small jars on the table, and then I saw the syringe in her hand extracting the potion from the various liquid jars, and the syringe was empty to full for only a moment, and I wished that the tube would never be filled.
The fact is that with the force of her thumb, index finger and middle finger, there is a parabolic spray of liquid on the needle at an angle of 75 degrees, and I can see the crystal liquid trapped on the needle clearly.
The person who walked towards me like Mama Rong was none other than my mother.
I have a disease that doesn't grow tall.,Mini.,The rest is no different from ordinary people.,Now it's a pretty cute little Lori.,In the future, if you can be like Tianshan Tong's grandmother, it's good to be young and youthful.。 I had long recognized my height, but my mother didn't believe it, and she had a glimmer of hope to give it a try. So, my mother, who was a little abnormal that afternoon, mustered up the courage to make the decision that turned out to be this.
Then, I started taking hormones, the magic potion that was said to make me taller. But this potion has to be played every day, and we have to rush to the provincial capital with a potion, and it is obviously unrealistic for our family to rush to the provincial capital every day in a small remote county to find a doctor to inject hormones. Dad was very distressed, didn't know what to do, faced the doctor, was also delicate, helpless, I don't know how to face the difficulties of life Mom proposed to go on! Later, my father recalled that my mother also said a very domineering sentence: "I can call the shots for my own children!" ”
This, this, my mother doesn't know a few words, and she hasn't taken a needle...... Thinking about it, it looks like Mama Rong rushing towards Ziwei, and I actually refuse in my heart... But, but, but, this is my different mom~
When she convinces herself and decides how to do something, it will basically happen the way she wants it to be.
The two of us, one an amateur injector and the other a weak injector, pierced the needle into my arm and into her heart! That year, my arm was full of needle holes, and it hurt when I thought about it, I don't know if you remember? But in fact, I was afraid of needles when I saw them, and then I hid in Tibet with my dexterous little man, and then I got used to it, and I stretched out my arm and bit it without blinking. Just spent such an inspirational time~
26-year-old Asha? 26-year-old me?
To Asha:
I received your letter 2 months ago, I think it may be a prank, so I didn't take the reply to heart, but I've been in big trouble recently, I'm very distressed, I don't know what to do, today I turned out your letter in my bag, I read it again, and I saw that you were also very annoying, and I thought it was a chat with a boring stranger.
Do you ask me what's going on? Absolutely! That's all for now!
If you really are 26 years old, you should understand that I have low self-esteem, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to have contact with people other than my family, they all treat me as a weird child, say that I will never grow up, I am angry, but I can't refute it, and there is a big problem recently!!
As for my good friends in my class, they told me that the English teacher has been saying strange things to them lately, doing some very intimate movements, and they are scared, but they are afraid to say it.
I can't solve my own troubles, and I don't know how to help my friends, I want them to tell some things to adults, and adults should have a way to solve them, but my friend Xiaojia told me that her father scolded her for being neurotic, saying that she must have been not serious about studying recently, and the teacher gave her special guidance...... None of them could understand their language, and the fact that the teacher had a long telescope that could reach out to our house was a source of despair, and I was equally desperate because of my own circumstances......
That's all for today, you know the end of the world, I have made an appointment with my friends to leave this world together on the day of the end of the world, so you say that you are 26 years old me, why do I not believe it so much? Forget it, anyway, you also said that you have a bad memory, maybe you sent the wrong letter...... Goodbye strangers, goodbye to my 26-year-old, goodbye to my dear mom and dad......
Probably not the 16-year-old Asha you think she is
2012.12.1
The 26-year-old Axia finished writing the letter, and the letter began to nap unconsciously before it was put into the envelope, and when she woke up, she found that she was dragging a letter in her hand, she shivered, and carefully spread the letter on the table, how could the handwriting be so familiar? The brushstrokes are deliberately light on the left and heavy on the right, and then the last stroke is particularly long, the intermittent pen and ink is the traces of the ballpoint pen breaking the water, and a little girl sometimes shakes off the pen and sometimes puts the tip of the pen to her mouth to sigh, Ah Xia's heart suddenly beats faster, and she can't wait to read the letter in one breath.
After reading the letter, Ah Xia seemed to have just done heavy physical labor, and the palms and backs of his hands were sweating, but this sweat was cold, and the cold came out of his bones and froze time and space through his body.
She saw herself and a group of familiar friends slowly walking towards the sea, farther and farther and farther away, and finally turned into a black spot in the eyes of her relatives, and turned into a period in her mind about the memory before the age of 16......
The thin evil female voice sounded out at an inopportune time, and she said: Now give you a chance to go back to 2012 and spend the last 3 days of her life with her, are you willing? When you've thought about it, write your second letter.
Axia's body began to tremble violently, and she picked up her pen and began to write:
16-year-old Axia, after reading your letter, I seem to be able to smell the saltiness of the sea, and I can also feel a wave hitting my hands and my friends' hands detached, and then the sea water covers the top of my head, and the salty water floods into my ears and mouth...... I was suddenly frightened, I wanted to make a sound to live again, but my feet couldn't use my strength, I couldn't stand up anymore, I couldn't make a sound anymore, I never had a chance again....... A sense of despair is on the horizon......
I'm sorry, I forgot, I forgot to tell you, in fact, I am a person with no memory, my memory was blank before the age of 16, and when I wrote the first letter to you, I thought it was a prank, and I believe you will feel the same way, so I think there will definitely be no high-level response to write to you......
However, after reading your reply, I felt so strange all over my body, especially the picture that had just been formed was so real, as real as if I had experienced it myself...... Will you really be me? Will it be me at the age of 16? I understand you, I want to see you, I want to hug you, the strange woman on the radio said that she would give us a chance to meet, would you like to? We have 3 days to have a good chat......
We don't have much time, so we look forward to hearing from you soon.
26-year-old Asha worried about you.
2022.10.1
After Asha finished writing the letter, her eyes went dark and she fell asleep again.
The 16-year-old received a mysterious letter from the future again at 11 p.m. on the penultimate day of the apocalypse in 2012.
16-year-old Axia came home from self-study at nine o'clock in the evening to do classmate Ajia's bicycle, in order not to let her parents notice something unusual, she wrote some homework, but she was very sleepy at half past ten, she fell asleep on the simple table, just like falling asleep on a strange table after ten years, ten years of sleep has not changed a few points, but the vicissitudes of life, the changes are still too much......
At 11 o'clock in the night, 16-year-old Axia woke up and was surprised to find that she was also dragging a letter in her hand, she saw the sentence "I understand you, I want to see you, I want to hug you", she actually shed tears, after reading the letter, she picked up the pen for writing homework and wrote under the letter just now: I also want to see me at the age of 26......
2012.12.19 night
Whether it's a daydream or not, but I'm afraid there is no chance, she has a little regret in her heart and a resolute decision without hesitation.
When Asha received the letter again in 2022, the fear of her environment had long since been replaced by the fear of the event itself in the letter. She wants to quickly cross time and space to meet her 16-year-old self, solve difficulties together, and change her life against the sky. However, he was cruelly told that the time shuttle was out of order, and he could only communicate with the past by email......
Asha was anxious, because she knew very well:
In 2012, the Mayans prophesied that on December 21, the fifth solar age would come, the sun would disappear, the earth would shake violently, and the earth would be completely destroyed. All the unsatisfactory realities have exacerbated the panic in that world, and the people on Earth are panicking.
Her own lack of self-confidence and the misfortune of her friends will cause an irreversible catastrophe, and all the memories will come flooding out......
Axia sorted out her thoughts and began to write two letters, one to her 16-year-old self, telling herself to be confident, telling herself that she still has dear family and friends, that she is already a happy person, and that she should not feel inferior......
Another letter was written to parents who were still young: tell them that they love them very much, that you have been worried since you were a child, and that you should help guide and deal with your friend's molestation by the teacher......
The letter was written in a hurry, and the letter received was in a hurry.
On December 21, 2012, when the letter from 2020 was delivered, the tragedy was already unfolding.
When 26-year-old Axia was told that the time shuttle could be used normally, when the 12-year-old and 16-year-old children were walking towards the beach and heading towards the depths of the sea, the young parents received a doomsday letter from 2012......
When 26-year-old Asha stood on the land in 2012, she saw her anxious parents crying and their eyes red, the scene was a mess, no one noticed her, she just watched it happen, and she was completely a bystander witnessing the whole story......
Back in 2020, looking back at history with a 26-year-old IQ, there are many rumors that 2012 is the end of the world, and various versions of the doomsday conjecture should have all kinds of grotesque things and farces or tragedies, but in the end, the "doomsday prophecy" always ends with "nothing happened".
For example:
In 1993, the Church of the Brothers in Kyiv, Ukraine, prophesied the imminent catastrophe of mankind and organized a grand ceremony for believers to welcome this moment, as if the demon lord wanted to witness the rewriting of the world order and the solemn and sacred spirit of the demon about to dominate the world, but nothing happened that day. Nine days later, they made the same prophecy again, and held a ceremony that was nothing more than ever, which succeeded in causing panic among many people, but nothing happened, and ended in a vigorous farce.
However, stupid human beings have caused themselves a series of troubles for no reason......
When Ah Xia frowned, happy for a while and sad for a while, Da Yue shook her shoulder, and Xiao Juan also leaned over and called: Chief, don't sleep, it's time to wake up, go home, go home! I can't catch the bus for a while~
......
Ah Xia woke up and saw the enlarged faces of Dayue and Xiaojuan appear in front of his eyes, and he felt incredible! She pinched her face, touched Da Yue and Xiao Juan's faces, exhaled a long breath, and turned around to see her height...... Nani, it turns out that she had a dream......
Amitabha, Amitabha
It turned out to be just a dream, scared to death, scared to death......
Ah Xia happily took Da Yue and Xiao Juan's hands, ready to get up and go home, they asked Ah Xia what he dreamed of? She smiled and whispered, "From today onwards, I will love life more and cherish the days with you even more."
......”
The moment we stepped out of the time station, we all turned around and saw the girl smiling at us, the smile was not evil or charming, it was very warm, not a grandmother's gray but a black hair, just like ourselves ten years ago.
Goodbye ten years, goodbye to our 16-year-old who was once lonely, weak, inferior, and not brave.
[I wish you all good health and a safe passage through this special period~]
