Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

As I imagined, the little mule went straight to the tiger's luggage cart with a smile on his face. The tiger was quite obedient this time, and he came to help me push the cart very consciously. We haven't talked about it since I got out of the first class. In a word.Guava also came and took my hand affectionately while helping me with my hand luggage. The guava grew more and more beautiful. She said that this time she would drive for us personally and turn around every corner of Moli Island.And the little mule will be a tour guide, explaining to us many unknown histories of More Island.Moreover, what surprised me the most is that this trip may also meet the Crown Prince Zhan of Moree Island!I have long heard that Moree Island is still a constitutional monarchy, and their young crown prince is very intelligent and handsome! ——Many people compared him to the reincarnation of Solomon!Even people like Chief Moria have to admit that the reason why More Island has become the country with the highest happiness index in the world is because of Zhan.

I was very happy, so I had a very delicious lunch.We ate near the famous Solo Waterfall and found a buffet at random.I saw the tiger's face looked very tired, of course I knew he was still angry with me, but I felt that there was no reason for him to be angry.The emperor and the beggar in a country are the same in my eyes, they are all equal people, does he have something special to enjoy the treatment that others can't?I don't think so. Of course, my views will be regarded as "childish" by human beings as usual. Since I entered human society, I have heard these two words the most. Maybe I will go to the countryside and adapt slowly in the future, but my heart will never change.

Solo Falls is truly breathtaking!That's really the "flying down three thousand feet" in the parchment book!It's not three thousand feet, it's three thousand feet!All the visitors were given a rain cape, without which they would have been completely soaked, and even with this rain cape they would have been almost wet, and the mule was holding a digital camera (humans are increasingly playing with this ), flashing and flashing in a serious manner, who knows what kind of photos he can take? !Faced with such a spectacular natural scenery, I was so obsessed that I opened my mouth wide to catch the water droplets splashed by the waterfall. The water droplets flowed into my mouth like pearls, refreshing and sweet.Ah - how long has it been since I tasted water from nature!My heart melted with joy at the thought that this majestic waterfall would finally flow into my ocean kingdom—until Guava rushed over, panting, yelling "We've been waiting for you!" It was like waking up from a dream.

The arrangement for the afternoon is to receive the Crown Prince.Tiger calmly ordered me to prepare a gift.There were two gifts: one was a real Chinese antique—a blue and white official kiln porcelain vase that had been on the show and was identified as genuine, and the other was just a pair of chopsticks worth tens of dollars but exquisitely decorated with traditional culture. He simply explained that if the crown prince is really friendly to us and provides substantial support for the cooperation between the two parties during the negotiation, we will send antiques, otherwise, we will only send chopsticks.But the development of the matter is very interesting: when entering the palace of Moli, the crown prince personally greeted him outside, and the tiger walked in front as usual, but was politely stopped by the crown prince. This lady is advanced." As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, a salute was fired immediately, flowers were in full bloom, and the royal guard of honor in festive costumes rhythmically raised the flag with colorful tassels to the music. At the gate of pearls and gemstones, the servants on both sides bowed to me together. The warmth of the crown prince’s palms was just right. I was so happy that my whole body bloomed like a flower. At that moment, I did not forget to sneak a glance at the tiger. He was ranked after the guava. His face was livid.

The two sides conducted cooperation negotiations.The crown prince is very sincere. It seems that he has carefully read the copy we sent in advance. He said that all the funds that need to be filmed in More Island will be supported by him, and the venue will also be resolved by him. He also arranged for the next day. Big dinner.After the negotiation, he personally led us to visit the landscape of the Mori Palace. Among the beautiful tropical plants, there are many flowers that can be made into first-class rosemary. Guava and I exchanged glances and understood.When exchanging gifts, I pretended not to see the winks from the tiger's teeth, and offered both gifts without hesitation.The Crown Prince hugged me happily and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek, as is customary in their country.

The tiger's face has turned green. That night, Tiger threw himself into a "cassino" (casino).I went to the shopping mall, and the clothes in Moli Island were so beautiful!It's a pity that I'm a poor man now, or I really want to throw all my money here!Now, we can only choose slowly, choosing those that are cheap and high-quality, or according to human beings, "buy cheap and look expensive".The layout of this shopping mall is very strange, like a huge theater, and the structure is very complicated. When you come out of one fitting room, there is a mirror, and this mirror is the door of another fitting room. I came to a room that smelled of rosemary, and it was full of old and damp old costumes. Those stage costumes are so obsessed with me, they always make me dream, remind me of the underwater world. stage.I just wandered from room to room until Guava came, and Guava said: "Lily, you make it easy for me to find! Don't you want to see our world-famous casino?"

Tiger is simply insane.He spent day and night in the casino, and the little mule, even though he was yawning profusely, was still by his side with a persistent smile on his face.It was at least one o'clock in the evening when Guava pulled me into this casino.The figures sitting in front of the slot machines are fighting in full swing, and the sound of jingling coins reminds me of a beautiful poem in the parchment book: Big pearls and small pearls fall on a jade plate.Even the guava was exchanged for a pot of chips, but I had no desire to gamble. I just stood in a corner and quietly watched the faces of the tiger and the mule.Both the greed of the tiger and the flattery of the mule disgusted me.

Suddenly, I found that the tiger reached out to the army green bag containing public funds, and casually grabbed a lot of money.I just looked at him like I was watching a blockbuster movie.This blockbuster is extraordinary, and I couldn't believe it.At that time, I wondered, did he get dizzy from gambling, made a mistake, and forgot that it was public money? No, not right.He didn't have any other money with him, that is to say, the only money around him was this pocket for public funds—and the little mule probably didn't have any concept of "public funds".He took the money and obediently changed the chips. When the full pot of chips was placed in front of the tiger, I had a lot of effort to restrain myself and not rush over.

Instead of rushing in front of the tiger, I rushed out of the casino.I heard my heart beating wildly. There is still a twilight in the night.The first time I saw human light, I thought it was dazzling—but now it is extremely faint.There are a few crickets chirping, but they actually live in a different world from humans.After escaping from the weird sound of the casino, I didn't feel relieved, but for the first time I felt what humans call - loneliness. However, when I saw many "lonels" written in the parchment, I felt that even "lonels" were too crowded to be lonely.Just like the sun, it is useless to draw a thousand suns in a parchment, it can only be one.

That night suddenly turned into a colorful night: the trees were green, the flowers were colorful, far away, like an apple tree in the Garden of Eden, from behind that apple tree came to me a person, a young He is a handsome man in a simple hunting suit, and has a kind of inner nobility-this kind of nobility turns the normally imposing tiger into a manservant.Under the light of night, he should be regarded as a real lonely person, he is the only sun, he comes to me, and I am also the only one, I am the lonely moon. Let human beings crowd in solitude, there will always be only one sun and moon.

He is Jen. My spring fantasy finally came true three years later in the fall. We walked through the woods together and walked to the seaside. He stared at me for a long time and said softly: "Sayuri, I saw you in my dream." He said: "Lily, there is one thing I am very surprised: when I saw you in the dream, you were a crinoid, a creature under the sea. When did you complete the genetic conversion?" He said: "Lily, I have been hurt by women and I have been in despair. I once suspected that I was an outcast of God. But since the moment I met you, I feel that God has never abandoned me, and even favored me. I should be grateful." Zhan's face is beautiful under the moonlight, the clean and simple beauty of a man.I didn't know what to say, but I just took out a little bit of the drug in the ring when I was happy-the fragrance was overflowing, and I saw the moon god Ekshcher descending leisurely on the ocean on the night of the full moon, Datura flowers suddenly grow in patches by the sea.I enshrine the datura flower in full bloom on the sea - that's where I grew up.We took off each other's clothes, and there were only two of us left in the universe: I was naked and prayed to the moon god, and the wonderful mandala symbolized a woman's vagina, which was as beautiful as a flower. After my prayer, the entire ocean changed Becoming an aphrodisiac, Jen took my hand and walked slowly into the ocean, immersing himself in the psychedelic waters, while steaming steamed out, just like what Solomon told the Shulamite in Song of Solomon That way: "The new shoots in your garden are like paradise, with pomegranates and beautiful fruits, and impatiens and crocuses give off a drug-like fragrance, you can't resist." In the boiling sea we pressed on Hugging tightly, our naked bodies bloomed like flowers, and our pores roared with steam. In the moment of bliss, we all turned into sea water, as soft as water, bendable at will, and under the touch of the moon god, we became completely transparent , radiating a terrible light, illuminating the night. Ah... everything is almost exactly the same as in my dream, except that the datura flowers withered too quickly. When I was still intoxicated, Luna looked at us with a smile, as if saying: The dream is over. GAME OVER. At this time, everything was silent, I was lying in his arms, and I told him about the dream I had in the spring. He looked at me in surprise and said that he also had a similar dream, dreaming of a sea tree. Lily rose from the depths of the sea and became a pure and innocent girl, and had intercourse with him on the night of the full moon, which he said was completely different from his previous sexual experience, which was a physical intercourse, That kind of enjoyment was fleeting, and that time in the dream, he felt that he and the woman had become transparent elves, and that kind of intercourse was a long-lasting wonderful enjoyment, a state of complete unity, so that he After waking up, I can still feel the transparency and fascination. It's just that we have serious differences when it comes to datura flowers. I think datura flowers are the most beautiful flowers, rare and divine flowers in plants, and they can cast love magic on everything in the world.However, he insisted that although Datura flower is beautiful, it is poisonous. It is said that it contains a high content of alkaloids after testing, which is enough to kill humans, and it is a plant that is not suitable for cultivation. I suddenly thought of Datura, and thought his analysis might be reasonable. I stretched out my hand lazily, and a bright light dazzled his eyes. His eyes were wide open, because I was so close, I saw the ring reflected in his eyes, his eyes were already beautiful, but now they seemed to be glittering, the pupils seemed to be inlaid with a circle of gold, I looked at it fascinated He didn't hear his words clearly. "What?" I asked. "I'm asking you, how did you get this ring?" I half-opened my mouth and looked at him, "...Oh, don't tell me, do you recognize it...Could it be, you are its owner?..." He turned his beautiful eyes toward the sky, when the colored night turned dark, and the moon was right above our heads.I kept kissing his mustache, which was as soft as a child, and whispered everything about the ring to him. He listened without saying a word. Then, when there was a halo around the moon, he turned to me, and hugging me tight, and pressing me against his chest, he said, "Listen, can you hear it thumping?" I said, "It sounds like a war drum." He smiled slightly and said, "I found you, my little Lily." We hugged and didn't make love again.We just stared at each other, looked deeply into each other's eyes, and stroked each other's faces with the most tender hands.He said: "Xiao Baihe, please stay here, don't leave. Stay here, we are together. If you don't want to live in the palace, I can announce that you will give up your inheritance rights." I buried my head deep in his chest, indeed, he is the master of the ring! ——It turns out that not all human men are as disgusting as a golden horse, a tiger, and a little mule, Abao. Men can also be so beautiful, so affectionate, so selfless and brave, so gentle and kind, and so considerate of women's hearts... I took off the ring and handed it over Give him, whisper to him the story told by Chief Moria, he smiled and said: "Ah, he is a famous wizard here, he has told me this story countless times... since I was a child... ..." He put the ring in his hand and twirled it, muttering to himself: "Could it be that I'm really a descendant of the Queen of Sheba?..." "Have you any doubts?" "No, no," he bent his arm around my neck, his fingers stroking my hair, "I'll tell you a secret," he held up the ring, "Do you know the name of this flower?" My heart almost stopped beating—the mystery of this flower, this strange flower, was about to be revealed— "It's called the moon flower, also known as the flower of purgatory. It is very ancient and unique in the world. It has memory, not only memory, but also all the wisdom of advanced creatures. King Solomon's wisdom comes from it. The moon A flower that can see everything past, future, and present—" "I want to see this flower." He shook his head, "No, Sayuri, not now. If I show you now, the entire More Island will be punished by God." "When will it work then?" He smiled, "When you become the princess of Moreli Island." His gentle kiss was printed on my lips again. It was late at night, and I was nostalgic for this warm embrace, but I knew that I had to leave, "I should go." He asked: "Why do you have to go? Are they restraining you?" "No, it's... I still have some responsibilities that I haven't fulfilled." At this moment, I was thinking about my brother, and I have the responsibility to send him back to the bottom of the sea. There were shiny things in his eye sockets, and I turned my head quickly, for fear that I would cry.He put the ring on my hand and said, "Okay my Sayuri, then I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, and when you come to me again, I'll kneel down on the same beautiful night propose to you." He was already sitting up, and we hugged each other again, rubbing the tears off each other's faces.His eyes are passing through the blue dense forest in the distance.I was blown to a desert farther than I imagined by the invisible and soundless airflow, but I couldn't get out of the range of his eyes. In front of me was the slanting and slanting moonlight. Finger marks, this is a night without privacy, his hair, his breath, his eyes, all tell me love - I have to wonder why there is such a big difference between the same human beings and men Woolen cloth? We were woken up by the morning call early the next morning, and it was time for us to leave More Island.Both the mule and the guava came to see him off.I noticed that the little mule's face was gray and the tiger's was green. While the tiger was resting in the VIP room, the little mule whispered to me: "Yesterday we gambled all night, all night." I said coldly Looking at him, the habitual flattering smile appeared on his face again, "Tiger lost, lost everything." Hmph, lost all?I'd like to see what he does.How can he pay for all the public funds in his hands? Guava is as glamorous as ever, holding my hand and talking to me about this and that, pestering me, this drama must give her a role, I said: "Why don't you find a tiger? He decides." She said that Tiger has been in the casino since he set foot on Moli Island, and he can't speak at all.The tiger lazily came out when the boarding pass was being processed. Obviously he had slept for a while, and his complexion was a little better than before. He didn't even look at me and said to the little mule and the others: "How about Zhan, what's the matter with you?" Have you signed the agreement?" Little Mule and the others all turned to look at me, and I turned to look out of the distant window.The little mule hastily changed the subject in order to smooth things over, but the tiger's face was so gloomy and ugly, like those lifeless reliefs on the monument. Along the way, Tiger fell asleep in the first-class cabin, and this time he didn't even do anything superficial.But I didn't want to make him comfortable—I found an empty seat in the first class, and sat there with a big presence, on the side and rear of him, so I could observe his every move, but he didn't notice me.It seems that he really lost all the public funds, and he didn't even have the appetite to eat. Every time the waiter brought food, he waved his hand coldly.I couldn't be bothered to look at his monotonous sleeping position anymore and started thinking about Jen.Zhan's breath seemed to still be in my body, his breath flashed in my body, as if he was going to rush out of my body and fly. Facing the glass of red wine in front of me, I began to meditate—I can finally meditate now, and I am no longer as stupid as I used to be.When I first entered human society, I felt that everything was possible, as if life was a wonderful magic show.But now, I only see the gray sky outside the porthole, and the uncomfortable back of a tiger. The wine of my imagination slumbers in oak barrels in the harem of Prince James.One sip of that kind of wine will make you drunk.There is a church in the vineyard, and the church bells wake us up.Hand in hand, the beautiful colors and sounds instantly become real images, and I will receive his gifts: a glance, a smile, a star, a ruched silk dress... We walk into the day The hills in the soft light, overlooking the water, the city, the road and the customs. Then we boarded a canoe carved from the trunk of a linden tree and lined with some beaver pelts.We put on the skins of primitive men, elk and lynx accompanied us, the wind chased the deep water, our hair flew in the gale, he threw the diamond-encrusted crown into the water, and all that was left of us was that a ring, but we laughed joyfully to the wind, and proclaimed to the water, "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are back!" But at this moment, the water monster suddenly came out of the water.The gigantic face looming toward me—ah, it was the angry face of a tiger—was awakened from my daydreams. "I'll say it again, you go back and do the accounting right away, and show me when you're done!" I almost blurted out, "Do you want me to make fake accounts for you to cover up the fact that you embezzled public funds?!" — But I didn't say it, I swallowed the sentence.Since swallowing this sentence, I feel mature.Yes, according to the requirements of the parchment book, I must never say this sentence, not only can’t say it, but I have to pretend nothing happened, pretend to be confused and get things done for him. ——But I still haven't matured to this level in the end, I just looked at him in a daze, or to be precise, pretending to be stupid.This expression of mine irritated him even more, his face slowly became distorted and became ugly, he lowered his voice and said, "Did you hear Lily, I'm talking to you?!" The more he was like this The more I wanted to annoy him, I nodded innocently and said, "I heard it, but I don't understand what it means." He looked as if he wanted to keep his mouth shut. What I expected is that Datura did not break his promise. Datura really gave me back a good brother.It was not until a long time later that I realized that it was not a spell, but that she had indeed spent a huge sum of money to connect her brother's foot.But at the time I really believed in magic - I think Datura is a bit evil.I picked up the magnifying glass and looked at my brother's ankle again and again. Except for a red and raised scar, compared with normal people, there was nothing unusual.I asked my elder brother to show me again, but his footsteps were still a little staggering. Mandala said: "It's normal. For someone who hasn't walked for so long, it's good to be able to do this." Of course, it is also very convincing. I decided to send my brother back to the sea. ——My brother is incompatible with human society, and without my courage and optimism, I can only run away from evil forces, and I have no strength to fight back. That night, my brother and I went into the sea secretly. He returned the sun as soon as he entered the sea, looking free and happy. He encountered moray eels swimming in groups under the reef, golden butterflyfish as big as a plate, and shy sea turtles. , the white-tip shark that can't be seen by the dragon, and the clownfish that looks like a magnum with a fluorescent-colored mouth. We wanted to play for a while before going home, so we swam to the vicinity of the big sunken ship. The 30-meter-long wooden boat sank in the depths of the seabed and became a place for many schools of fish.The ship has sunk for at least a hundred years, but its shape is still clear.The two of us walked through the ramps and cabins, playing hide and seek.The colorful corals, sea urchins and sea anemones on the bottom of the sea are so beautiful that those who don't know the heights of the world can only kneel down!I picked a piece of coral stone, and thousands of fish suddenly rushed in, circling, high-speed and compact, densely surrounded by a storm eye, and cast a strong beam of light on the bottom of the water. I can guarantee that they are here to welcome us Yes, but if you change to humans, you will definitely be attacked by them. However, they still hesitated, and my brother said: "They must have seen your human mask! You see, my mask fell off automatically when I entered the sea, but yours is still firmly on." I was not convinced. Said: "This can only prove that you are incompatible with human society, but I can achieve the free transition between being out of the world and entering into the world!"——Before the words fell, I cried out——It turns out that my mask has been firmly stuck on on my face!It is stronger than last time, and it is almost impossible to uncover it! I gritted my teeth and reluctantly took off the mask. This time, more blood oozes from my face than last time, which is painful and even more frustrating—maybe, in human society, I have sunk too deep. The attitude of my family made me especially uncomfortable. They greeted my brother like a hero, but forced a smile on me.Especially grandma, she took out the precious white coral powder left at home, mixed it, and applied it all on my brother's left foot, but left nothing for me. The underwater world held a grand banquet, and Neptune even attended it.Haiwang spoke in his thick baritone voice. Haiwang said that he warmly welcomes the descendants of our crinoid family to return to the underwater world—then my brother stood up and nodded to everyone. The whole ocean applauded warmly. Applause sounds like a tsunami to humans.Many family sea creatures flocked to my brother, holding a beautiful wine glass made of soft coral in their hands - no one paid attention to me, even my childhood friend Xiao Baye ignored me, they all swarmed to my brother Cheers and jumps - I felt the smile on my face slowly become stiff, I picked up a shell cup and slowly left the crowd. The bottom of the sea is like a piece of blue and green glass.In the gaps of the colored glaze, fantastic colors flow.In human parchments, there are stories about dragon palaces and pirate ships, as well as mermaids on Arabian flying carpets.This is all their fantasy, the sad thing is that their imagination is so lacking, in fact, the Undersea Dynasty is a place a thousand times more beautiful than they imagined, people age easily, but the creatures in the underwater world never grow old, yes, We can die, but never grow old.Because beauty itself is fragile, it is easy to lose its color in a big turbid vat. Human beings are fascinated by beauty, but they also have strange jealousy. When they see beauty, they want to offer it up and eat it.Even in the moon, Chang'e and the others have to try their best to take off her pink dress, so that her beauty and charm will disappear together—even if they never see the moonlight. I went back to my room, which was already covered with moss, and the sea creatures outside the window began to dance, like dancing bats.Among them I saw my mother, her sad eyes lit up by the return of her brother.She got a new nose ring, she's still the most beautiful under the sea, but so what?She didn't even say a word to me, and Dad, he was busy receiving guests and taking care of the banquet, and he didn't have time to talk to me-my parents ignored me, and my grandma didn't use coral powder on my injured and bleeding face , then this world, what else is mine? ——Is parting only mine?
