Chapter 15 Chapter Two She and Her

Here, we should first talk about the hour after Miss Alice left the tantrum duck. She was walking along the bank of the river.When I passed here with Mr. Nuoxi two days ago, it seemed that there were many people and various animals, but now I haven't even met a cricket. But if no one walks, will she not leave?And if no one walks, then what is yourself? "If the duck is here, she can say that there is no one; because even she is not a human being. But can the duck say that by itself?" She wanted to know but had no way of knowing. By this time, in order to make the problem easier to understand, Alice had divided herself into two, as she had divided herself when many other matters were difficult to solve.Before the division, the whole of her said: "I don't favor any aspect, and I don't wrong any aspect, but you can't be too selfish. When a certain opinion is close to a certain one I win, this Another acquiescence from me is necessary. When you encounter unavoidable disputes, you should not be too stubborn. After all, you are yourself, and it is not good to get angry casually! Well, Alice, you can separate."

So she became two again. She walked slowly—or step by step—or they both walked step by step, because she represented at least two ideas, two spirits, and two tastes in her.It is said that "the two of them are walking step by step", which is still a typo, because one of them likes to take one foot and one inch in one step, and the other is willing to take two feet and three inches in one step; there is a difference between one foot one and two feet three. It is one foot two inches.This distance of one foot and two inches is really not a small distance! "My friends," said one of them to the other, "wouldn't it be nice for 'us' to slow down? If we walk fast, others will think they are being chased by someone." There is a good reason for this.

"You can't be slow, and it's not that Youbo is too slow. They Chinese women will think you are laughing at her." "It's good for your feet to slow down." "It's good for my feet, because it's slow. The Chinese women walk so slowly, it's all for their own benefit, right?" "Then we must run." "Run to the front and assume that if something unexpected happens, it will still be worth it even if you are a little tired." So Miss Alice started to run, and as if pursued by a vicious dog, she ran as fast as she could.Running just for the wish of "running to the front or something unexpected happens".Because of running too fast, all the trees ran in the opposite direction, as fast as she was.

"Don't be so busy! My dear tree." This is what she said in an almost stupid way. The clever girl answered for the tree, "Good lady, it's all your fault! Why are you talking about me?" "Why not you? I see you leave me in such a hurry!" "Then please slow down, and I will leave with you slowly." "I don't. I don't believe what you say. This is your own business, not mine!" "It's your business! Try it if you don't believe it." She had no choice but to try, naturally for a change of breath.Who knew that the trees would not move as soon as they stopped.

"That's strange! I don't want you to be so knowledgeable. If you are like this, others don't speak well of you." The tree replied, saying that it was not for the sake of other people's favor. "Don't ask others to say yes, then you have your freedom." Alice thought that she could ask that tree down. The tree was an American locust tree, tall and slender, like a cousin of bamboo.The tree said, "I am not lacking in freedom, our freedom does not lie in action. Just like—" "I don't want to hear other people say 'just like'." She went her way without any hesitation.She first thought that the pagoda tree would chase her for a while, but she didn't expect the pagoda tree to have the same temper as hers, so she had to go her own way.

That one she asked this one why there was such a quarrel with the same tree. "Why shouldn't there be? I swear I won't talk to them!" "I ask you to remember that swearing is a matter of asking God to be a perjurer after telling a lie." "But I'm not lying." "Then there's no need to swear!" She was silent for a long time on this one.It was obvious that she was a little stingy, and she was a little unfair to that one she protected the tree. Walked for a while. When she saw this one, she didn't speak, so she comforted her and said, "Friend! Don't be angry, we should talk, and don't argue over a little opinion."

Seeing her situation, she said softly: "It was my fault, my friend. We will be on good terms from now on." "Yeah, we can't be too willful, it's okay to go too far." "Yeah, we've got that in mind. It's not good to go overboard." However, this pair of Miss Alice has come to a dead end.This can be regarded as going to the "extreme".She looked ahead, and there was a wall in front of her. They remembered what they had encountered with Mr. Nuoxi in the past. A thin man jumped out from behind a wall when he asked them to kill him.A wall is another wall, but it is still a wall!

The one who was more careful said, "What if there is such a man hidden behind this wall?" "That's not scary. Tell him that you are neither British nor Japanese, and tell him that you don't have a knife on you. To ask him to trust you, you might as well search your pockets and show him, and you will be able to pass without hindrance." "But," she consulted with that her again.I'm afraid they will get angry with each other again, she speaks very softly.She said, "We just said that Mo is too extreme, and this has reached the extreme again, it is better to turn back!"

"My friend, I know you can't forget the past days. But there is a wall in the future, and maybe the other side of the wall is another world." She meant to take risks.Adventure is not another thing she agrees to.Another reason for her is that if there is a wall in the future, she can turn around.She stated this opinion to ask the bold her for forgiveness, but she did not dare to insist that she must turn back.She euphemistically expressed her opinion with these words: "There is always a wall in front, and the road behind. We are walking, so we don't need walls." "However, there is another new road on the other side of the wall. If we only want to follow the existing road, then there is no need to go."

"However, the road ahead is not necessarily the road." "However, your guess may not be accurate. Even if there is no road ahead, it may be a better place than Tantan Road." "I agree with your 'forward' proposition, but I ask you to bear in mind the dangers and disappointments." "I also agree with your so-called danger, but..." They discussed very politely, and the result was mutual tolerance and mutual understanding, and it became a situation of standing in front of the wall without advancing or retreating. Knowing that there will be a different view on the other side of the wall, but in order to fulfill this hope that it will be more beautiful and peaceful than reality, it seems unnecessary to climb over the wall.You can walk back, and it seems possible to go back and find a new way, but it takes time, and you leave the existing hope to find a new hope, and it seems unnecessary to go back.

Alice stood still in front of this wall.For the sake of clarity, it should be said that the pair of Alices stood motionless in front of the wall. "Come," said the other Miss Alice to this one, "let us try to guess what's on the other side." "That should be very good." She guessed this one first, "I thought there was a sea over there." "I thought it was the sea too." Both thought it was the sea, and they agreed. However, the meaning of the sea was different in the two Miss Alice's impressions.One thinks the sea is great and unrestrained, while the other thinks the sea is a terrible thing. Their second guess was that there should be a garden outside the wall. This unexpected agreement still has different experiences: one thinks that since the garden belongs to another family, there may be a biting dog in it; There must be winter plums and winter jasmine in the season. "Think about it again, just don't think of it as the same." "The same thing is so far apart, and I don't know what the difference will be like if it's different." "But try, friend, I said 'try'!" "Does 'trying' count as 'guessing'?" "I don't want to argue with you about something unnecessary." "Then," said she, who got a little angry when she saw the other, and immediately calmed down, "then let's 'try'." She tried to guess what was hidden behind that wall, and she guessed it was a sheep.But the other one she still guessed was a sheep.But thinking of the words that should not be the same again, she said that she guessed a ram. "Ram" and "sheep" are of course not the same thing.Just say, "I guess it's a ram!" "I guess it's a sheep! My friend, I guessed it differently this time. However, my sheep seems to be a male, let me take a closer look. Oh, it is a male. Its horns are so long, I'm afraid It's going to touch me, and I don't want to stay any longer." "It's funny how scared you are of a sheep and not a dog." "Is it funny? I don't think so." "Even if it's not funny, don't be afraid. My friend, even if it's a ram, there's a wall for us!" For another reminder from Miss Alice, she could not help but blush.In order to remedy this mistake, she deliberately went over the other side of the wall.Since the timid Miss Alice had volunteered this opinion, it was needless to say that the adventurous Miss Alice agreed.So in a little while Alice was on the other side of the wall. Neither a boundless sea nor a garden, she thought it must be a ram.She looked around for the ram with her eyes.The one who only said "sheep" at first also helped to pay attention. "You must have run away when you saw me coming." "Yeah, I think so too." "Then you have to look for it for a while, and you can't use it to hide Xiaoqiao!" She went everywhere to find the ram. This is a forest.The tree was not known by its name, but it was so green, so green that the sunbeams were the same color, Alice thought perhaps it was a tropical place--however, it might be the Green Belt.She couldn't explain the reason why there are green belts outside the tropical frigid zone, but if a place should be given a proper name, then the person who named this place would never look for another name outside the "green belt". "I ask you, my friend." "Go ahead." The one Alice who named the place put forward the reason for naming the place "Green Belt" to the other Alice.Naturally, he put aside the matter of finding the ram for the time being. She walked in the woods, and she didn't know how far she went.I don't know how far it is, it's like not walking, and this thought makes her feel that it's funny to walk without a little rest. "Hey, what's the matter with you? I think you're really busy!" One she laughed at the other, and the other told her, "I'm just thinking about walking, I don't know how far I've gone, so I don't want to go." Same." Miss Alice sat down.Sitting on the grass is green and soft, like sitting on a thick sea tiger velvet blanket. "I'm really going to have a roll." She discussed with the other, and felt that it was better to call a friend than a sister, so she said, "Sister, look, how good it is to do somersaults on the grass!" Alice, who was called her sister, acted like a sister to correct her younger sister's naive thoughts.She thought that although the grass was so soft and flat, "sitting" and "turning somersaults" were two different things.It's okay for them to sit in this place, but it's nothing if they turn a somersault. "Sister, I hope you can tell me why it doesn't work." "That's just not the reason." My sister's words almost seemed to complement the reason in terms of tone. "No, no, reason is reason, it's two different things. Sister, please think about it." When she heard the words "please think", Alice, the older sister, felt embarrassed not to "think".She used many methods to prove it, but she couldn't prove that this was not the reason.In the end, she had no choice but to say that you really want to play, and when no one else sees it, just play casually. "But I don't want to do somersaults anymore, because I lost my pillow when I fell asleep last night, and my neck still hurts when I touch it." "If your neck hurts, you shouldn't say you turned a somersault!" "So what to say about a sore neck?" Alice, the sister, didn't bother to have such a conversation, and said, "I don't have a lot to reason with."She was still funny, laughing at what sister Alice said was unreasonable.Neck pain should be called neck pain, should neck pain be called somersaults? Miss Alice walked again. She just walked away angrily, forgetting to look at the things on the road in front of her.Only when I heard the leap like a rabbit, did I pay attention to what was leaping past me.She saw a big green-headed grasshopper five steps away from her, and she looked at her with a very bad expression. This was the unkind look a grasshopper would have on a child, but this was a Chinese thing, and Alice didn't understand it. "I'm sorry, but my sister surprised you." "Is it your sister? How good at talking!" Miss Alice said again in her younger sister's tone, "No, that's my sister. I see you are angry. Who are you arguing with?" The grasshopper was baffled, it said "..." Alice, the older sister, explained to Grasshopper again in an apologetic tone, and added an answer to one of Alice's questions, saying, "I quite understand that it is our fault, because we are discussing a kind of problem." , disturbed Your Excellency." "'Two of us', who are you and us? You're so eloquent!" "Sister, what that grasshopper said was the words of a brain-damaged grasshopper!" Alice said softly as her younger sister. "Don't criticize me!" My sister also said very softly, so that the grasshopper would not hear. The grasshopper saw that the little girl couldn't speak clearly, and found it interesting, so he didn't fly away in a hurry.In order to understand the question, it had to put on a gentle face.It asked Alice, saying, "Where are you from?" "I said you didn't understand—" The sister went on to say, "Sir, I'm from a foreign country." When the grasshopper heard that it was from a foreign country, he remembered the old grasshopper's lesson, saying that foreigners came to China to collect the souls of children, and they had to goug their eyes to make plaster, so they flew away in fear.He flew away without even daring to look back. "It's all you, if you say it's from a foreign country!" "Then you said 'I said you don't understand either'. If you don't understand, how could it fly so far?" "But I still say it doesn't understand. If it understands, it won't panic and run away." "I don't think so." This time it was Alice, the sister, who would not continue the conversation.She remembered that the grasshopper was confused after all, otherwise Zongfei wouldn't have to fly so fast.Because she knows that if she runs too fast, her legs will get sore, if she talks too fast, she will be out of breath, and if she swallows something too fast, she will hiccup,... She said (talking to herself), "I'm sure it will regret it when it looks back, whether it should regret it or not. Fly too fast!" Miss Alice, who was walking in the green woods, was tired of guessing how a grasshopper flew and how her waist ached and thirsty after being tired, how she was easy to get angry, how lazy she was to talk to others, thinking that she was getting tired too , fell asleep on the grass. This sleep changed the whole world. When she woke up, she could neither see the trees in the "Green Belt", nor did she return to the big iron bed in the hotel where she was with Mr. Nuoxi.She stayed at the home of an unknown Chinese.How to know it is a Chinese home, I don't know yet.After hearing two women talking (one is an old lady, who is as old as my aunt, Mrs. Greg Foyce; the other is a girl, who seems to be about the same age as myself), I know that this is a Chinese people's home. Although she knew that this was a Chinese family, her eyes were pitch black and she couldn't see anything.When she heard the voices coming from above, she thought she was in the cellar; when she heard the voices coming from below, she thought she was on someone's roof.She was on the roof and in the cellar all of a sudden, which made her bewildered! "Alice," the older sister called out her younger sister's name, "don't be anxious. It's not enough to be anxious about one thing. After some time, the truth will always come to light." My sister said, "It's not for us to find out—I just want to know where I'm sleeping now." "I said that when the truth comes out, it's a comparison!" "Can the analogy help us know exactly where we are staying?" "But I say you have to be patient! At one o'clock in the morning you hope for dawn, and it's in vain. When the time comes, the sun comes out of nowhere. I've never heard of a man who waited until dawn, and the sun came out sooner." .” "Then what do you mean, when it's dark, you should close your eyes and sleep. If the dark is the result of blocking the light, how long will you have to wait?" "However, since it can cover the light, it is conceivable that it is not a handkerchief that you can lift off with one hand. If you want to lift it, you can't, but it is very clear!" "But you have to try it. I'll sleep after I try it." Tried it, it was a fruitless experiment.So she slept peacefully in this darkness and lived a long night.
