Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fragments of Memory Fall Across the Country and the City
As if inadvertently touching a certain mechanism, the space in front of me collapsed instantly, and the fragments of space were like stars pieced together again to form a new appearance.
It was pitch black all around, except for the light of fireflies flickering under his feet, stretching into the unknown distance.
It seems to be a fateful bond, guiding the dill forward until everything suddenly becomes clear.
The courtyard is deep, and the ancient banyan trees are towering. A little girl in a pale red dress sat under a tree, holding a cat in her arms, brown and white fur, fluffy, light, cute and cute, the girl's fleshy little fat hand stroked the little pet in her arms one by one, and the words in her mouth were blurry and indistinguishable.
Suddenly, the little girl turned her head as if sensing something, and her dark and shining eyes looked straight at where Dill stood.
It turned out to be a face exactly like herself, and Dill was slightly surprised in her heart.
After a while, the little girl withdrew her gaze, as if all she had been looking at was a cloud of empty air.
"Arlo." Dill heard someone calling herself, and subconsciously turned her head, but her eyes came into contact with an unfamiliar face. At the age of about fifteen or sixteen, his body shape shows the height and thinness of a teenager of this age. The facial features are extremely handsome, as delicate and charming as finely carved jade.
Seeing that the girl under the tree did not respond, the young man called "Aluo" again.
The girl still turned a deaf ear, slowly stroking the little pet in her arms with her hand, and her body remained motionless.
"Little Allure, go back, you don't know, Ah Luo has always been unkind to people." Dill looked sideways slightly, and the source of her voice was a person who was exactly the same as the previous teenager.
"Gu Tingguo, I said that you are not allowed to call me Xiaoqingcheng." A hint of annoyance swelled up on the young man's white jade-like face, "Also, who said that Ah Luo ignored people, she ignored me last time!" ”
"That's just you touching her cat, and she glared at you without even saying a word."
The young man who was called Little Allure City had a slightly flushed face, and his face was full of annoyance and shame that had been exposed.
Dill approached the identical "self" under the tree step by step, slowly stretched out her hand, and touched a piece of nothingness without accident. There was a clear arc on his lips, and even though he knew it was an illusion, he still wanted to make a tentative move.
Dill stood silently aside, watching the young man in the city babbling in the girl's ear, looking at the young man's kind smile, the joy between his eyebrows had nowhere to hide, but the girl was not infected at all, and her face was still indifferent and cold.
The leaves of the banyan tree turn from green to yellow, and then slowly drift from the branches.
The girl's life is incomparably simple, with two points and one line in the room and under the tree, repeating the cycle.
In such a long time, except for the young man who appeared every day, and the boy called the young man who occasionally appeared, no one else appeared.
Even, in the dead of night, every day the sun rises, there is only a girl in the huge courtyard, no parents and no relatives, as if she is just a lonely existence between heaven and earth.
Then, on a certain day.
The young man named Allure no longer had a bright smile on his face, the joy between his eyebrows and eyes was replaced by a faint sadness, and he said a little depressedly: "Ah Luo, I may not be able to play with you again in the future." ”
Dill felt the girl in front of her caress the pet's hand for a brief pause, or maybe not. The girl still didn't say a word, as if she didn't care.
After that, the mountains were shaken, and the picture in front of them was annihilated and turned into nothingness. Gazing again, I returned to a void space.
