Chapter 86 Cat Town (7)

My relationship with Scorpio, in my opinion, will never be good friends.So far as "me" sees it; he may have a heart, but I can't appreciate it; and if he—or any cat person—has a heart, it's completely self-centered, using people for his own benefit. It's the main reason why he made friends.In three or four months, I didn't forget to visit my dead friend's body for a single day, but Daxie tried every means to prevent me from going.On the one hand, it shows his selfishness; on the other hand, it shows that the cat man does not have the concept of "friends" in his heart.Selfish, because taking care of Miye for him seems to be my only responsibility when I come to Mars; there is no concept of "friend", because he always says "dead, already dead, why do you want to see him?" Show me the way to where the plane crashed; second, he's keeping an eye on me.In fact, if I search slowly (if I walk along the river bank, I won't miss it), I can always find that place, but every time I walk half a mile out of the Misty Forest, he always drops from the sky and stops me.He stopped me, but he didn't force me to go back; he could talk about self-centered things to make me feel sad for him, as if listening to the widow talking about her difficulties, I couldn't help but snot and cry Put your own business aside.I think he must have pursed his lips and laughed at me for being a fool, but the thought didn't harden my heart any more.I almost admire him.I don't quite believe what he's saying; I'm going to see everything for myself.However, he had been prepared for this.He wasn't alone in the Misty Forest.But he never allowed them to get close to me.I have only seen them from a distance: as soon as I ran past them, they disappeared immediately. This must be following the order of the big scorpion.

For the fan leaves I decided not to eat any more.Scorpion's advice was really tactful and sincere: I can't stop eating, I'll get thirsty if I don't eat, water is not easy to get; besides, I have to take a bath, what a bother, we have experience.I have to eat it, other foods are too expensive; the second most expensive thing is that it is not delicious.I have to eat it, it has poisonous gas, and I will die if I don’t eat it... I still decided not to eat it.He snotted and burst into tears again; I knew this was his last resort; I couldn't be soft-hearted; it was the big scorpion's plan to turn me into a cat-like person by eating lost leaves, and I couldn't fully accept it His fiddling; I've been too honest.I want to restore my human life, I have to eat, drink, and take a bath. I am not willing to become a half-dead person.If I can live in the same way without eating lost leaves, even if it is ten days and a half month, I will only live for ten days and a half month. Not willing to do it.I told Da Xie so, of course he can't understand, he must think my brain is a rock.Whatever he thinks, I've made up my mind.

After three days of negotiations, there was no result.Had to take a pistol.But I still haven’t forgotten the fairness. I put the pistol on the ground and told Daxie, “If you kill me, I will kill you. It’s all the same. Suppose you make me eat fan leaves! You decide!” Daxie ran away How far to go out two feet.He can't kill me, a gun in his hands is worse than a straw stick in the hands of a foreigner; what he wants is "me", not a pistol. A middle way: I eat a piece of lost leaf every morning, "One piece, just such a small piece of baby, to remove the gas," the big scorpion—asked me to take the pistol, and sat down with me again— Stretched out a short finger and said.He provided me with a supper.Drinking water is a difficult problem.My suggestion: Every day I go to the river to take a bath and bring back a jug of water.He does not approve.Why do you run so far every day to take a shower? It's not a smart thing, and you still have a jar?Why don't you eat fan leaves comfortably? "Blessings will not be enjoyed", I knew he had to say this, but he didn't say it.Besides—and that was what he really meant—he had to be with me.I don't need his company; he is afraid that I will sneak away, which is his main concern.In fact, I really plan to run away, isn't it useless for him to accompany me?I just asked him that, and his mouth was closed for about ten minutes. I thought I scared him to death.

"You don't have to stay with me, I decided not to run, I swear!" I said.He shook his head lightly: "Children only swear to play!" I'm in a hurry, this is insulting me face to face.I grabbed the fine hair on his head. This was the first time I used force; he didn't expect it, otherwise he would have run away a long time ago.He really didn't expect it, because he was telling the truth.He sacrificed some fine hairs, perhaps with a small piece of scalp, escaped, and explained to me: in the history of cat people, swearing is common, but in the past five hundred years, taking oaths is not too much, so Except when playing around, everyone no longer swears. Although credit is not a bad thing, it is inconvenient from a practical point of view. This kind of reform is an obvious improvement. .It is true that swearing is most amusing when children are playing, because it should not be obeyed at all.

"Whether you have credit or not is none of my business, my oath is still an oath!" I said forcefully, "I will never sneak away. When I want to leave you, I will naturally tell you directly." "I'm still not allowed to accompany you?" Daxie asked hesitantly. "Whatever!" Problem solved. The dinner is not bad. The cat people are good at cooking, but there are too many greenflies. I picked some grass leaves and made some covers, and asked the cat people who delivered the food to cover the food. The cat people seem to be very happy. Disapproving, and find it a bit ridiculous.He didn't dare to talk to me under Da Xie's order, but shook his head slightly at me.I know uncleanliness is the catman's historical honor; there's no way to make him understand.Ashamed, I still have to use power. Whenever I see that there is no cover on the food, I tell Daxie to hand over the pie.A big mistake: no food was delivered one day; when it was delivered the next day, it was not covered at all, but covered with a layer of green flies.It turned out that Daxie and the servants all looked down on me because I told Daxie to order the servant who delivered the meals.Hitting as soon as you reach out is the honor of the upper-class cat people; it is also an attitude that the lower-class cat people think is right.What should I do?I don't want to hit people. "Human" is the most noble concept in my heart.But if I don't fight, not only will no one deliver the food, but I will lose my safety on Mars.There was no other way, so I had to sacrifice a piece of catman's scalp (a very small piece, to be honest).All right, Cao Gai is no longer idle.This almost made me shed tears. What kind of historical process can make people forget the dignity of human beings?

Going to the river to bathe in the morning is the first good thing about coming to Mars.I always walk from the Mirkwood to the beach before the sun rises, the distance is only more than a mile.Just enough to sweat a little and make the limbs go limp.On the sand, the water just covered my feet, and I stepped on the water while waiting for the sunrise.The scenery before sunrise is extremely quiet and beautiful: there is no fog in the gray sky, some big stars can still be seen, and there is no sound anywhere, except for the slight sound of running water on the sand.When the sun came out, I went to the river; I walked through the beach, the water got deeper and deeper, and I lost my chest after walking half a mile, so I just had a good swim there.As long as I feel hungry, the swimming time is always about half an hour.When I was hungry, I went to the beach to dry my body.The torn trousers, the pistol, and the matchbox were all placed on a big rock.I'm naked in this big gray universe.Seems completely carefree, the most natural and free person in the world.The sun is getting hotter.There was fog on the river, and I felt a little stuffy; yes, the big scorpion was not lying, there was indeed some poisonous miasma here; it was time to go back and eat that lost leaf.

This kind of enjoyment cannot be maintained for a long time, and it is the fault of the big scorpion.Probably on the seventh day after I started to take a bath, I saw some dark shadows moving in the distance as soon as I got to the beach.I didn't pay much attention, still waiting to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise.The east gradually turned grayish red.After a while, some scattered thick clouds all turned into big deep purple flowers.Suddenly it lights up and the stars are gone.The clouds are all connected into horizontal slices, the purple turns into deep orange, with a thin layer of light gray and water green, with bright silver gray edges.The horizontal cloud split, and some big black spots were added to the orange. Jin's bare feet shot up very strongly, and the golden line was still visible behind the black spots.Then, a mass of blood red jumped out of the cracked cloud, it was not very round, it seemed to shake a few times, and then fixed; at some point, the cracked cloud turned into small fragments.They formed some golden scales; the river lit up, and there was a golden light.Xia became thinner and more broken, and gradually disappeared, leaving only a few strands of light pink tulle; the sun rose up, and the whole sky turned silvery gray, with a little bit of blue in some places.Just staring blankly, I turned my face and said, drink!About ten feet away from the river bank, the cat people stood in a large group!I am baffled.Maybe there's something, I thought, never mind, I'll wash mine.I walked to the depths of the river, and the large group also moved there.When I jumped into the river, I heard a terrible cry.I went up and down a few times, stood up on the shallow bank of the river to have a look, and shouted again, and the team of catmen took a few steps back.I see, this is a visit to take a bath.

Look at the bath, if you haven't seen it, it's nothing, I think.The cat people are definitely not here to see my body, nakedness is not unusual for them; they don't wear clothes either.It must be to see how I swim.Do I continue to swim to open their eyes?Or stop?It's not a good decision.At this moment, I saw the big scorpion, he was closest to the river bank, about a foot or two away from the group of people.This means that he is not afraid of me, I said in my heart.He jumped a few steps forward and waved to me, meaning to tell me to jump into the river.From my three or four months of experience, I can imagine that if I obey his gestures and jump into the river, his face will be much brighter.But I can't accept this. In my life, I hate the power of outsiders to bully my own family.I go to the beach.Big Scorpion walked forward again, about four or five feet away from the river bank. I picked up the pistol from the rock and compared it to him.
