Chapter 5: Birdman
To this day, my ancestor still did not return, and he succeeded. It may also have failed. As his descendant, I was born into an isolated world where our people have lived for generations. It's 2004 AD.
I lay on the grass and watched the cows float in the sky, walking like clouds in the sky, and I liked to hold the dog's tail in my mouth, watching the cow dung falling gracefully under the action of the wind, and quickly dodging. Truth be told, for as long as I can remember, I've never been defiled by cow dung. I live in a world where cows are in the sky, and there are often strong winds that blow herds of cows in the air all year round.
The other day, I saw several sparrows fluttering in the sky and dancing with the cows, and I couldn't help flapping my wings. After running hard for a while, a pair of big feet just left the ground and fell.
First of all, I am not a normal person, I was born because of a pair of furry wings growing on my back, which caused quite a stir in our world, and the people of the village rushed to report it in the form of oral recitation. I have been in the village for more than 20 years now, and the people in the village have become accustomed to my presence. The people in the village call me Birdman.
When I was younger, I thought I had wings and was pretentious. It was only when I grew up that I realized that I was a freak. Since I was a child, my father has worked hard for my wings, and he once tried to cut off my wings with a knife, but he was afraid of losing his son's life. And my dream is to be able to fly and let the people in the village know that I am an extraordinary person. I've often spread this idea far and wide, but I've never taken it off. Therefore, the people in the village think that I am too good at making up stories, but in fact, my profession is to make up stories, I write the stories I make up on bamboo slips, and then sell them to people in the world who like to read stories to make a living. Everyone has a dream, and my biggest dream is to fly.
When the sun sets, the cows in the sky spit out colorful bubbles that reflect the red of the sunset. To counter the ridicule of the villagers, I tried to take off. Flap your wings and listen to the wind whirring in your ears, and then the sound of falling down. Repeat one at a time.
When my tender father saw me with a blue nose and swollen face, he couldn't bear it and hoped that I could settle down. So I decided to find me a wife. My father didn't know that I fell in love with a girl named Cauliflower in Niu Village.
Cauliflower lives by the lake of her daughter, who is the daughter of Uncle Cow Dung. She has a very good hand and often makes small and practical things to sell in exchange for food.
I often go to Uncle Cow Dung, all to see her. She would also look at me with strange and shy eyes. I fell in love with her.
At night, I lay in bed flapping my wings and fanning the mosquitoes, tossing and turning so much that I couldn't sleep. Later, he woke up irritably, opened the window, and saw that the moon and stars outside were very bright, so he secretly ran to the roof of the house, and began to flap his wings and run and glide on the roof. Such a test flight did not lead to good results. I always jump off the roof and fall to the ground, but I never get tired of it. I think one day, I will flapp my wings and fly from the east end of the village to the west end of the village. Gracefully landed in front of the cauliflower. So that Cauliflower knows that she is an extraordinary man who loves her.
Many cows huddled around the moon in the night sky. The bright stars, the moonlight and the colorful foam of the cows make the quiet night always gorgeous. If I had a cow, I would fly up to the sky with her and touch the moon.
I tried many times to get a detailed look at the cauliflower, but I couldn't get my way. I can only roughly describe her disheveled appearance, a pair of eyes shining between the messy hair, and wearing briefs made of leaves all year round. At this point, some people may wonder how I fell in love with such a girl. But I just like her, and like is like.
There are far fewer women than men in this world, and there are many bachelors in the village, and in order to get a wife, a forty-one-year-old bachelor will affectionately call a forty-year-old man his father-in-law. Of course, his wife is much younger. Some men can't find a wife, so they will go to the daughter lake and drink the water there, which can make the man pregnant and have a child of his own. Because in this way, our village, which has a population of about 1,000 people, will be passed down from generation to generation. As you can imagine, the men in the village are all tender men.
My uniqueness made me feel inferior, and in the days after I met her, my inferiority complex grew stronger and stronger, and at that time, I always wanted to prove that my extra wings always had its use, and of course, so far I could only run to my beloved woman like a frightened hen and say hello: "Cauliflower, what are you doing?"
Cauliflower ignored me. I continued to say to her, "Cauliflower, are you free? Shall we play?"
Cauliflower said, "It's so cold, where are you going?"
"I'll go wherever you want. ”
"Can you fly into the clouds in the sky?" cauliflower stared at my dirty wings.
"I can't right now. Hearing this, Cauliflower pouted and turned away. I tried to flap my wings, hoping that she would come back to look at me again, but my wings only rolled up the dust on the ground, and the dust choked into my nostrils, and I coughed desperately.
Back home, I took soap and new clothes and went out into the rainforest. Standing naked in the shade of a tree, every few moments with a heavy rain, I washed my sticky wings and walked out of the rainforest like a chicken in a soup. Later, I lay on a large stone facing the sun. Let the sun shine on the wings, and the warm breeze makes the feathers fluffy.
I muttered to myself, "It's summer, and it's cold." It is said that women are stupid, but they are really stupid. "I said this on my lips, and I was happy in my heart, because I was originally a freak, and it was unrealistic to find a smart woman as a wife, and now there is a stupid cauliflower, and we are quite compatible. I stood up and began to flap my wings, the air stirring my body under the wings, and I kept shaking in the air a few times before finally falling to the ground. Unexpectedly, Cauliflower had been peeping at me in the dark, and when she saw me falling, she came out of her way and stood on the big rock and clapped her hands: "Stupid bird! Big stupid bird! I don't even have any clothes on." I shyly flapped my wings and immediately hid in the rainforest......
The fact that I was naked with a girl began to spread in the village, and it was said that I was seducing cauliflower. I also ate tofu with cauliflower. This had a considerable negative impact on me, and in the past, when the old turtle of the village pig farmer saw me, he would say, "Look at your virtue, it frightens our pigs." Now when the old glans saw me, he said, "Look at your virtue of this water-based poplar, it frightens our sows." "Listening to the words of the old glans always gave me the illusion that I also had a wrong idea about sows. No matter what others say, I stand firm in my love.
As far as I know, there are two rivals in my love so far, one is a lame man in the north of the village, and the other is a bachelor in his forties in the south of the village. That single is my most competitive rival. In addition to landing every day, I also spend part of my time observing the latest developments of the singles. and hired a dozen five or six-year-old children running back and forth with bare butts to spread scandals about singles everywhere.
"Baby, do you want to eat sugar? ”
Rumors immediately spread in the village. Some children say that the singles don't wipe their stomachs when they poop, and some children say that the singles don't pay attention to hygiene, so don't play with him. Some children say that the single person is a big king. Another kid who can blow bubbles says that there is a well in the single's house, and there is a terrible ghost living in the well. The demon was wearing armor, and its hands and feet could swim in the water like the fins of a fish, and its neck and head could be retracted when it was stretched out. All in all, the bachelor became the talk of the children, and then one late night, the bachelor got drunk and fell into the pond and drowned, and later, all the children I bribed were black teeth.
During those days when I was spreading rumors, I practiced flying hard. To be honest, for the sake of cauliflower, I have been trying to change my destiny.
I am not the only monster in the village, but I am the only one who has grown a pair of hen wings, and people laugh at me, but I firmly believe that my wings have a purpose. I wanted to use these wings to fly all the way to the sky, over the towering peaks around the village. Take these villagers out into the bigger world. Later, I tried to practice flying every once in a while, even though I would only flutter and flutter in the sky like a hen before falling down. I still said to Cauliflower, "One day, I will fly to the sky and bring a cow down to you." ”
One day, I hired a well-spoken kid out of candy to ask cauliflower out. But the child told me that the cauliflower went to the mountains. Went to the mountain where there were monsters.
Monsters are conjoined people, they are two incomplete bodies put together. On one side of the two faces, due to the adhesion of adult years, the already deformed face has four eyes, two noses, and one mouth. There are also two bodies that are almost one, three deformed arms glued together, and four legs that swing out in a figure-eight pattern.
The monster has two heads and two modes of thinking, and when it resonates, the monster will come out of the kennel and ride a boar to the world below the mountain to see.
When I learned from the black-toothed child that my beloved cauliflower had gone to the monster, I flapped my wings and ran towards the hill where the monster lived. I should check it out.
Now, of course, for monsters with a herd of pigs, I'll call them by their new name, Erdanzi.
