Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cactus' Wife
The moonlight shone on his heart, but his heart was like a clear lake, reflecting thousands of sorrows.
In this unknown city, the cactus can only be left alone to pay tribute to his beloved.
Ordered a few dishes at a food stall and drank sullen wine alone.
I still felt that the taste was weak, so I bought a pack of cigarettes, twenty.
One person is drunk, one person cries, and he cries so sadly. There were only tears, no sound.
Wine, mixed with tears swallowed into the mouth, strong smoke swallowed into the lungs, strong stimulation, and that's it.
On the street, the crowd gradually thinned out, the shops, and the music gradually stopped, and in the sky, the light gradually brightened, and the starlight gradually faded.
"Little two? Checkout. ”
"Guest officer, hey here."
"Ask me something, what kind of city is this?"
"Yo, you're from out of town, our name is Qin'an City, our most famous place is hey, it's hard to say, we have a very beautiful cemetery here. Hey, although it's a cemetery, it's a cemetery, but that's where the aliens can only be placed after they die, and the earthlings don't let it go. You say, what do you call this, the current government really can't be guessed. ”
The cactus's eyes lit up and he said, "Well, where is it?" ”
"Look." Xiao Er pointed to the east, which was behind him.
He saw a mountain, and the early morning sun was just turned off, and a few beams of heavenly light pierced the sky from behind the mountain, which looked quite charming, and the cactus thought that the home behind the pebbles should be placed here.
"That's it?"
"Yes, you see, do you want to settle the bill?"
So he threw down a hundred bills and walked towards the mountain amid Xiao Er's continuous thanks.
When I walked to the mountain, it was already noon, and the cactus regretted not fighting, and his legs were weak.
A high mountain full of forests, only to realize that there is a long mountain range behind it. Yuan Mingbird cried, and he couldn't see the shadow of the grave anywhere.
A figure walked slowly towards the cactus, and then in the warm midday daylight, the cactus saw her skin casting an unknown light in the sun, just like this unknown city.
After the girl walked in, she greeted politely: "Hello, are you here to visit the first alien cemetery on Earth?" This cemetery was set up to carry out intergalactic humanitarianism. ”
"Okay, I'm really here to visit, do I need a ticket?" "Yes, a hundred yuan, visit around the clock, and eat and live for a day."
The cactus was surprised, there are still people who go to the grave of the dead to live in these years?
But he shook the men's bangs on his head very gracefully, and pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from his trouser pocket that was stuffed with banknotes. Thankfully this is military pants, the bag is surprisingly large and many. 100,000 yuan is stuffed, but it can always be put down.
But he was still naked and didn't react until now.
The cactus didn't know the name of the girl and asked, "May I ask your surname?" ”
"My name is Pablos Zinador, and I'm a C31 star. Look at the muscles of your whole body, and you are still wearing military pants? Are you a military man? ”
"Yes, my name is Binghui."
The girl's name was too long, and the cactus was still used to calling her girl, and she took out a flat disc from her pocket, and the disc opened a three-dimensional projection screen in the air, and then she inquired and said, "Binghui? Combat agents of the Eighth Region of Earth, fortunately, we do not charge for soldiers, please come in. ”
The cactus's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, Pablos is on the same planet as the pebbles, is it possible that the girls of the C31 star are so beautiful.
Thinking about it, he came to a hall, the space was very large, and he visually measured that there were nearly 1,000 square meters, all of which were financial walls and floors, and on top of the metal floor, metal trees grew, and there was a metal pine tree for every square meter.
His surprised gaze was seen by Pablos, and she said, "This is a seedling, and it is the result of the scientific research of our C31 starmen.
After the death of each life, their memories are burned into this metal pine, specifically the cedar of activated titanium. Generally speaking, every citizen who steps into a civilized planet in the universe will have an identification device, but the shape is different. ”
She shook the nose ring on her nose and said, "My identification device is this nose ring, it's very personal, right?" I bought it for 10,000 KUD coins, and within the trade range of the KUD stars, KUD coins are hard coins. Far away, the identification device can remember the memory of the owner, which is also the best consolation for the deceased and his friends and relatives. ”
"Speaking of this activated titanium pine, its metallic stage indicates that it is a seedling tree, planted by a friend or relative of the new deceased. Just put the identification device of the deceased in this glass, and then put it in the empty space of this hall, and in a second it will grow into an active titanium cedar, and after a month, we will load this sapling on the mountain you saw when you came, and after a year of planting, it will naturally grow into a cedar full of life. Pablos gently shook an ordinary-looking glass from nowhere into the cactus.
"And this cedar is an entrance to a parallel space, and only those who have the memory of the deceased that they consider important can enter this parallel space." It took Pablos a long time to explain for the cactus.
The cactus thought of a question and said, "Do we earthlings have this kind of identification device?" How come I don't know about it? It has been 3,000 years since we earthlings stepped into the cosmic civilization. And does our Earth Coin have spending power in the trade belt of the KUD? Looks like we've already formed a K-land alliance. ”
Pablos thought that the cactus would be immersed in this strange cemetery design and couldn't extricate herself, but when she heard that the cactus was so concerned about the problems of the earthly world, she smiled slightly and said: "Yes, respected Mr. Earthling, your identification decoration is a whole skull in the cloned flesh you currently have, this skull is made of artificial diamonds ten times harder than diamonds, and the skull can remain indestructible after you die outside, so this is the unified and reliable identification device of your earthlings." ”
Pablos didn't know where he got two cups of coffee, and the mellow question came to his face instantly, and the cactus took a sip of it, and the espresso with sugar cubes revealed a slightly bitter aroma, and then the sweet taste infiltrated the taste buds.
After a drink, he looked at Pablos and said sadly: "Actually, today, I came for a purpose. ”
Pablos also accompanied the cactus to become melancholy, and said, "See, your lover is gone, who is she?" ”
The cactus said lightly; "Pebbles. It is also a C31 star. ”
She asked in surprise: "What?" My sister died? ”
He looked at her, not having much interest in her sister who was a pebble, and said, "Yes, this is her platinum bracelet, which is the identification device." Do I have to pay for her burial? ”
"No," she said. We do not charge any fee for the burial of any deceased. But we have a service that allows the seedlings to be transplanted into the mountains within an hour of planting. It costs a thousand, but I don't charge you, as her sister, I'll pay for it. ”
"Also, is my sister really your lover?"
"She was my lover, but I wanted to engrave 'Pebbles My Wife' on her tombstone, and it seems that there is no need now."
When she heard this, she said to the cactus, "I understand, now, let her go home." ”
An hour later, Pablos carefully pressed a glowing button on the glass where the sapling was growing, and a two-year-tall cedar with a titanium-colored sheer instantly shrank into the glass, and the whole process looked as if the cedar had grown backwards.
Pablos carefully took the glass and said, "Pass Pablos and Ice Glows to Mountain Range 118EC."
They came to a clearing, where there were not as many trees as elsewhere, but in the midst of the dense woods, it was strange that there was such a sparse place.
Although the cactus knew that these primeval jungle-like trees were actually tombstones leading to the parallel space of the dead, he still smelled the fragrance of trees, grasses, and flowers wafting in the humid air.
Pablos placed the glass in an open space, and as soon as he put it down, a cedar plant burst up, growing from a centimeter tall to a hundred meters high, and it was done in a minute.
In front of this green cedar, Pablos said to the cactus: "As long as you secretly recite your name in your heart, the cedar will take you to its castle of memory, you are her lover in life, presumably you miss her more intensely, I will not go in for the time being, but I will come to see her often in the future, if you want to come in the future, just let me know." ”
The cactus secretly recited his true name, and at this moment, a warm spring surged through his body, as if his heart was filled with all kinds of love for the past and the pebbles.
Teleportation is a matter of moments, there is no darkness in front of you, no confusion of consciousness.
It was as if he had come to another planet, and he was standing in a room and saw a baby crying, and then the furnishings in the room gradually changed, some of them were old, some of them were removed. One by one, they walked in front of him, but as if they couldn't see him, and began their lives.
After an unknown amount of time, the baby was close enough to walk.
After some time, a girl appeared in front of him. The cactus followed her to a swing, where the girl was swinging alone. There was no one on the side.
It was autumn, the leaves were all over the streets, the sun was shining on the girl's hair, the breeze was blowing her hair, and her gloomy eyes were looking at everything around her.
However, time flies, and the cactus follows her, watching the girl live in a city all this time. This should be the C31 starman, as usual, there is a spaceship teleporting in the sky.
People use a variety of daily necessities made from the unknown scientific and technological achievements of cacti.
The people around the girl told them about their lives, their joys and sorrows, in dialects he didn't understand.
As time passed, she had grown into a slim little girl, and her pebble face and posture had grown so that he could recognize her.
The cactus follows her life, going to school with her, leaving school together, falling in love together, and crying together for a broken love.
Paint in nature with her, watch her write a diary in her room, watch a movie with her, fall alone and snicker alone with her in a crowd of people you don't know.
I don't know how many years later, the cactus followed her figure and came to the earth on the cosmic express with longing, doing business on the earth, and learning about the earth's world in the earth's library.
Alone, alone sitting in an alien café drinking bitter coffee. A person wanders among the crowds that are aliens to her.
They weep together for loneliness and rejoice in accomplishments together.
However, she finally arrived at District Prison No. 7 on a trumped-up charge.
Fighting in prison, the inside of Prison No. 7 suggests that this is a rise and fall that she has not experienced before.
However, after how many years, he met the cactus with her.
The throbbing of her mood, her nostalgia for the cactus, all the conversations, seemingly ordinary, but full of love.
Until, until they kissed, they embraced.
Until, until her longing for the cactus became more and more intense, until she decided to break out of prison in order to stay with the cactus for more, the most inadmissible place on earth to commit a single sin.
Until, until she cried for the cactus.
The cactus only then knows that it is the love of a girl's life.
After experiencing another life of his, the cactus finally knew the meaning of life in the eyes of a girl. It's so incredible, it's so heartbreaking, it's so sad and gratifying.
All he could do was reach out his hands again and again, where she couldn't see, hugging her and kissing her softly in her castle of memory.
He finally experienced the birth and death of another life in her life, an unforgettable love.
