Heaven and earth in the painting, rivers into dreams

The young man looked at the half-hung moon in the night sky and was stunned, the evening breeze blew and blew away the sleepiness, he looked at the house, and walked out of the courtyard gate with a lantern, before leaving, he took a paintbrush, a piece of drawing paper, and went up along the path, he came to the back mountain, and there was a lake in the back mountain, but the location of the lake was in the middle of the back mountains, the lake was very large, he rarely came here, today just followed the moonlight, through the mountains and forests, walked through the path, he came to the lake, time passed minute by minute, when he came to the lake, The moon has hung on the mountain, the lake is full of fireflies, dotted the night with fireflies, the sky is full of stars and ink, the boy hangs the lantern aside, spreads the paper on the stone slab, and paints according to what he sees and what his heart thinks.

In the painting, the Qingyao water mirror leans against the moon window, and the fireflies and candles are still lit.

He reclined under the tree, his back against the tree, and under the candlelight, he had clear water chestnuts and clear eyes:

"It turns out that the scenery here at night is so good, why didn't I find it before, those two little girls want to know that there is such a good place, and they have to come noisy"

He looked at the lake, dropped a stone, stirred up a little waves, and when he put down his hand, he touched the fan pinned to his waist, and his heart moved, as if he remembered the old fan in white, he muttered

"I put the box of gold well, when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely bring you back, you said that you like Lingwu, when the time comes, I will build you a big mound in Lingwu, you are very strange, I heard the uncle say that you are not Lingwu, but in Lingwu for eight or nine years-, although I don't know what you are guarding, but you are willing to keep, then I am also willing to help you, in the future I will definitely help you get the token back, the uncle said, since the token is given to you, then you don't have to pay it back, but the token is for you, That's your thing, it's got to be ...... Somebody is here for you."

He tightened his clothes, swayed up, picked up the lantern and turned away, when he turned around, he suddenly felt something behind him, turned around and looked, only to see the lake full of fluorescent, flying in the air as beautiful as a butterfly, there was a thought in his heart, the lake really appeared a glowing butterfly, he looked along the butterfly, only to see the butterflies along the lake in a row, the end suddenly white fog filled, only to see a small boat from the opposite side of the drift coming, on the boat, there stood a white-dressed, fairy-like beautiful woman, she was blindfolded with white cloth, In the moonlight, her figure gradually became clear, as if from a painting.

The young man stood still, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the woman, for fear of startling Mingyue at this time.

The boat floated slowly, leaned firmly on the shore, and stopped in front of the young man, and the woman's jade feet moved slightly, floating down from the boat like white feathers, and came to the young man.

"Boy! But if you want to cross the lake, can you let the little woman give you a ride? ”

The woman smiled, although she was blindfolded by the white cloth, but at this time, the woman's smile still fascinated the young man in front of her who did not know the world.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that he had not spoken, the woman asked again; "Boy! But if you want to cross the lake, can you let the little woman give you a ride? ”

The young man came back to his senses and said; "But I don't know if I should go over or not?"

The woman spoke softly and pointed to the other side; "It's because I don't know that I ask for knowing, isn't it?"

The boy asked; "Is there a danger on the other side?"

The woman looked at him with a smile, leaned her face closer and asked:

"Are you afraid of danger, then?"

The young man saw her so close, his cheeks flushed, and he turned his head and took a few steps back. "I'm not afraid"

"If you're not afraid, why don't you dare to look at me?"

Listening to the sound suddenly far away, the young man turned his head a little stubbornly, "I'm not afraid...... But before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the woman had returned to the boat at some point.

"Just what?" It seemed to be funny, and the woman playfully teased the teenager in front of her.

"It's just ......" The young man was hesitant, and he couldn't say why for a long time.

Seeing his embarrassed face, the woman didn't continue to tease him, losing her previous playfulness, she looked at the young man in front of her and stretched out her hand; "Boy! But if you want to cross the lake, can you let the little woman give you a ride? ”

Somehow, the boy smiled and slowly walked to the boat, "I'm tired"

When he came to the boat, the boy sat down leaning on the boat, and suddenly the boat swayed, and then slowly floated.

Looking at the boat that did not paddle but floated on its own, the young man looked surprised, he looked around along the hull of the boat, only to see the boat slowly drifting, towards the white mist on the opposite bank, when drifting into the white mist, he only felt that the surrounding fog was foggy, and he couldn't see it really.

He looked at the woman standing on the other side of the boat in puzzlement, who knew that there was still the figure of the woman on the boat, only a petite little girl, the little girl with her eyes covered with a white cloth, sitting in the bow of the boat, humming a little song in her mouth.

Seeing this, the boy walked slowly towards her, and came to her near, and before the boy could speak, the girl seemed to sense someone approaching, and then asked; "But a guest from afar?"

"Guest?" The young man frowned, and couldn't help but re-examine the girl in front of him, this girl's eyes were also covered with white cloth, maybe it was related to the previous woman, but wasn't she in the back mountain?

"Little girl, what is this place? Who are you? ”

The boy asked cautiously.

"Here? I don't know what the place is, I just know that this place is very big, I've been here for a long time, my name is Xiyan, what about you? ”

The boy sat beside her and spoke softly:

"My name? I? I can't remember," the boy couldn't remember his name.

"I can't remember, so you always know where you came from."

The girl named Xiyan tried to reach up and touch something, but after stretching it out in the air for a while, she slowly put it down.

"Where did it come from? I? I can't remember" The boy shook his head as he found that the more he wanted to know who he was, the more he couldn't remember.

Xi Yan tilted his head, looked in the direction he was, and smiled; "It's okay if you can't remember, think about it slowly, you will always remember"

The boy was silent and sat quietly.

"I remember that I seemed to be waiting for a few brothers, they stayed in some places, I don't remember very well, if it's always like this, sooner or later I will forget, so, can you help me remember these things? Remember that I am waiting for someone, and I am sure that you will remember who you are and that you will definitely leave here, so, can you help me? ”

The boy looked up

"But I have forgotten who I am, and you told me, and sooner or later I will forget, and I don't know where I came from, so I don't have any words to leave here, because there is no other place in my mind now than here."

Xiyan smiled slightly, "It's okay, you'll remember"

She stretched out her little hand and crossed the river, muttering that she was still waiting for a few people.

The boy saw that she had been chattering, so he asked; "Xiyan, you said that you were waiting for a few people, so do you know what their names are and where they are?"

Xi Yan shook his head

"I don't remember exactly, I just know that I have to wait for a few brothers, but ...... I can't see the changes around me, and I don't know how long it has passed, why they haven't come to me yet."

She looked up, her tone lonely, and when she looked at the boy again, she smiled again

"But it doesn't matter, they don't come to me, then I'll go to them, but ......"

She held out her hand again.

The young man looked at her strange behavior and asked puzzledly;

"Xiyan, why do you keep reaching out?"

Xiyan shook her head, saying that she didn't know either, but she just felt that she was always expecting something deep down.

There was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of the waves when the river was rising.

"Do you have any wishes?"

The boy said suddenly

"Wishes? Yes."

She folded her hands

"I want to go to them, I want to know your name, and I want to ......"

She touched the white cloth that covered her eyes and whispered; "I want to see the scenery when you came"

After a long time, Xiyan gradually forgot his name, forgot the young man in front of him, and only remembered that he seemed to be waiting for someone, after going back and forth like this I don't know how many times.

The girl remembered her name again, and she remembered that there was a place, in the middle of the endless river and sea, there was an island, and the sea there had a name, called the Sea of Thoughts, and on top of the island, there was a huge tree, and the tree was full of fruit, and each fruit was a person's memory, a story.

"If you forget, come here, take the fruit, and sail away"

The girl whispered.

The young man looked at her and asked with some excitement, "Then do you remember where the sea of longing is?" ”

He really wants to go crazy, floating on this endless river and sea every day, although he can't feel hunger, but it still makes him crazy with boredom, not to mention that the girl in front of him will forget his name from time to time, repeating the conversation again and again, he can't stand it anymore, if the way he leaves here is to remember his name, then this so-called sea of thoughts is the way to get out of here.

The girl paused, thought for a moment, and then said; "The way to get there is very simple, and that is to trade memories"

As she spoke, the girl clasped her hands together again, chanting sincerely, praying that the boy would go where he wanted to go, and that he would be willing to give everything.

After speaking, she stretched out her hand again, and the boy tried to reach for it too, and when the hands of the two touched each other, a faint light lit up, and when the light dissipated, the surroundings recovered.

The boy looked around and found himself on an island, he was a little puzzled, as if he had forgotten something, but his intuition told him that he should go forward, not to stop, not to think too much, so he kept walking forward, towards the center of the island, every time he found that there was a giant tree in the middle of the island, the giant tree was full of fruits, and when he came to the giant tree, he looked at the fruit and stretched out his hand to a fruit, and suddenly a memory flooded into his mind, In the picture, a little girl fled to the lake under the cover of a group of people, and saw her holding a dagger to her eyes, and saw the flat boat, and the old man with a goat's beard, the young man shook his head, and stretched out another fruit.

"My name is Chen Zhiming, my name is Chen Zhiming, which means, but I know the will of heaven and do not obey the destiny of heaven"

……

A breeze swept through the young man's delicate face, and a blinding glimmer shone in through the doors and windows, and fell on him, covering him with a golden glow, and he rubbed his eyes and looked around; "How did I sleep here?"

He got up and pushed open the door, and the glimmer of the early sun in front of him carried the unique smell of the early morning, which was the gift of the mountains and plants to this world after a night.

When he turned around, he felt as if he had forgotten something, but there was no information in his head.

When he returned to the house, he glanced at the painting hanging on the wall as usual, and when he looked away, he suddenly paused, and when he looked at the painting again, he saw that there was an extra river and sea above the painting, and above the river and sea, there was an extra flat boat, and on the boat, there was a girl with her eyes covered with white cloth:

"Huh? I don't remember having any of that before."

The girl who turned into a person stretched out her hand, and Chen Zhiming somehow stretched out her hand and muttered in her mouth; "My name is Chen Zhiming"

When his hand touched the outstretched hand of the girl on the boat, a faint light lit up from the boat, and then the boat drifted away like catkins in the wind, and there seemed to be a girl figure in the catkins, and the catkins floated over the beams of the house, out of the door, and drifted away into the distance against the wind, and when the sun rose, the catkins drifted away like light.

Chen Zhiming walked out of the house, with a glimmer of light on his body.

The glimmer was as bright as the catkins that drifted through the air.

Chen Zhiming closed his eyes, his ears were full of the sound of the waves, he raised his hand slightly, and the dew around him flew up hundreds of miles away, converging into water droplets and flying towards him, converging in front of him, he pointed at the apricot tree in front of him, and the water droplets around him shot like a sharp sword to the body of the tree, and suddenly the apricot tree was full of holes.

Chen Zhiming opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, his face was calm, he stretched out his hand to Chu Yang, and smiled slightly.

"Thank you"

The first sun is gentle, and the young man is also gentle.
