Chapter 3 Chapter One

Chapter One At first, I met the little boy in a dream. It sounds incredible!He is very different from everyone I have encountered so far.Even so, there is a feeling of deja vu to his expression.He is neither Japanese nor Westerner, nowhere to say.His expression made me think deeply, who was I before I became me? In short, I can clearly remember the boy's expression, movements, and even every tiny detail.His expression was as if he had been waiting for me in the mirror. Eh... the expression waiting in the mirror, isn't that yourself? Yes, he is like you, like me, like him... I have dreamed this dream no less than a thousand times.

I don't think that boy exists only in dreams.I even feel now that since I was born, he has been living in my heart. It feels like an old friend who has known me for a long time and is very important to me. In fact, several times I wanted to forget him.Because he sometimes says things that bother me.He likes to come to my study.I haven't even had my morning tea yet, and he just sat down on top of my important materials, with his legs crossed. "Hey, I'm working, don't bother me!" "Work? What work?" "Write a book!" "Ok!" He stared at me intently.

"Don't look at me like that! How can I work?" "Is it a good book? Otherwise, the tree would be pitiful!" "Hey... the tree is so pitiful? Why?" "Because Uncle, if you want to finish a book, you will cut down a lot of trees, won't you? So, if it's not a good book, wouldn't the tree be very poor?" "I see. I don't want to write any more if I ask you to say that. I might as well do other work!" "what is your job?" "Hmm! For example, it would be better to do some manual labor work! Like digging holes, moving stones or something..."

"Hmm! Uncle, can you lift a rock?" The guy reached out and felt my muscles. "Well, it's big and tough. Uncle is really strong, but..." "But what?" "Although she looks strong on the outside, she seems fragile on the inside." "How do you know?" He just smiled slightly. "But it's nothing, as long as you take off a layer of skin, you can change it." "Skin peeling? I'm not a snake. How can I peel off my skin? My skin is perfect." "It seems that you really don't understand, uncle! How can these people write books if they don't understand? In fact, uncle, you have taken off your skin several times, but you don't know it. Now I invite you to have a cup of morning tea and adjust your mood. ! I'm leaving first!"

A child full of gibberish.Peeling? Go! However, I can't forget what he said. He has said many things to me that would never have come from a stranger. For things that are not his own, he can put himself in the shoes of others and try to be considerate of everyone. How could this happen? I don’t think it’s because he was often scolded since he was a child! "Don't speak loudly!" "Don't sing in the hallway!" "No whistling!" "Don't be a weird guy who likes to make noise!" "When you eat, don't make a wolfing sound!"

"When drinking water, don't make gurgling noises!" and also…… "What? Peeing on the lawn? There's no reason for that!" and so on... Therefore, he is very clear about what things cannot be done in front of others. Whether it's the sound, the smell, or even... Do you have this memory too? In short, these things are really embarrassing! But he also thinks that it is a very good thing to be able to show his sincere side. "Please listen carefully to what others say!" "Please eat carrots!" "Please take a deep breath!" "Look!"

"Listen!" "Please eat!" In simple English, OUT is not good, but IN is good. To show yourself, no matter which aspect it is, you can't do it if you don't show it. But he himself has never done so in front of everyone.What would you think of him? I think it's useless to ask this question. That guy is a kind-hearted person, and he will listen carefully to what others say, no matter what it is. He is better than anyone else at seeing with his eyes, hearing with his ears, feeling with his skin, and tasting with his mouth... No matter the sound of the waves of the sea, the chirping of birds, or even the rustling of the branches in the wind, he would not let it go. His ears are really smarter than those of bats.

One day, a large group of ants passed by him. "Ah! The seventeenth ant from the front is dragging its feet in the middle of the right row. It is completely different from the pace of the whole team. What's the matter?" he asked. As a result, the ant really looked up and replied: "It's nothing! A while ago I played a football match with the red ant, and I accidentally got kicked. It will be fine after a while!" The sound of an ant is less than the sound of its footsteps.Small ordinary people can't hear at all, but he can hear very clearly.From that day on, there has been a rumor in the ant society that the boy can understand what we say.From black ants to red ants; from ants that crawl on the ground to ants that grow wings and fly in the sky when they get married.

Then, in just a few weeks, word spread about him in the insect world, from fly to bee. The insect world is hundreds of millions of years older than the human world.Take praying mantises as an example. Before humans appeared in this world, they had already worked hard to survive.Therefore, it is better for human beings not to be too arrogant. Insects taught the boy many things.Of course, it's not just insects.Even the old crow who was in a bad mood taught him the language of birds. He can understand not only creatures, but even water. He often sits by the small river alone, listening to the water speak.

"Ah! I saw such a big rock this time! Wow! Crash, clatter...the flow is so fast! Ah, this time it's gravel. Swish, swish, swish!... Really comfortable! This time I went to a deeper place .Wow! It's so cool!" While looking at the water in the river, he thought: Why can you see the water? If the water is clear and transparent, it should be invisible? Now it is so clearly visible.But if you really can't see the water, the fish will definitely feel very troublesome.Where is the best place to swim? The more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out... Thinking of this, he began to be very curious about the fact that birds and bees can fly in the sky.

If I ask the birds flying in the sky, I think I can get a satisfactory answer.But he somehow felt ashamed to inquire about it. One evening, two ants were competing to carry eggs in the nest.He watched the progress of the game, concentrated on the busy figures of the ants, and his eyes felt as if they were pricked by needles. It looks like it's very busy! Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if something soft was gently touching his shoulder. It's a dragonfly.The four wings of the dragonfly glisten in the afterglow of the setting sun. "Wow! That's amazing! How can you fly so well! You don't make a sound, you look very relaxed, and the way you flutter your wings is really beautiful!" Dragonfly looked up at him with diamond eyes. "Because I can see it." "see what?" "Things around me." "what is that?" "Things to see! Things around me." "Things around me? What's that?" "yes." "Around me?" "Exactly." "But... I can't see it!" The dragonfly vibrates its straight, transparent, lace-like wings vigorously.It's like blackened spider silk wings embedded in very thin, very thin glass. The dragonfly said: "You can feel it moving now! You should also be able to hear it and feel it!" "yes?" "Exactly." Dragonflies wiped their chins, cleaned up leftover mosquito remains, and sang: "Cold things... creaky things... thorny things... creaky things... dry things... creaky things... wet Stuff... creak... squash it, hold it, drop it... creak... yuck!" You can kill it, and you can destroy it.You should know this too. Know what! I really don't understand. "Are mosquitos delicious?" he asked with a slightly disgusted expression. "Well, it's delicious. Why do you ask me, you don't know how to eat and see for yourself." He was speechless all of a sudden. Dragonfly continued: "Because you can't see it, so you don't know?" "Ok……" "Um... what?" "Mr. Dragonfly, what do you call it?" "Well... there are many kinds of sayings. For you, you probably only know the ambiguous name of Feng." "wind?" "Yes, it's the wind." He stretched out his finger, and the dragonfly landed on his fingertip immediately.He held the dragonfly close to his face and stared straight at it, to see if it was a joke or not. So he said, "If it's the wind, of course I know it!" "Then didn't you just say you couldn't see it?" "Although I can't see it, I should know it!" "Even if you can't see it?" "Of course!" "Oh……" After speaking, the dragonfly fluttered its wings and flew up, circling and flying in front of his nose like a helicopter.He couldn't help laughing when he heard the flapping of wings. "You should understand! Can you see it? Can't you see it? Get it." Then the dragonfly sped away and disappeared into the tall oak forest. He was in a daze for a while, then squatted down and murmured: "Mr. Ant, who won?" However, the ants have already gone home separately. Summer is here, and the wind is as gentle as a girl's breath.He is on the asphalt road back to school.What a hot day.From a distance, he saw something moving on the road, something as transparent as water... "What's that?" he said. "It's air, it's hot air!" said the crow flying overhead. "Can you see air?" "Of course I can see it! How can you fly if you can't see it? Please open your eyes and take a good look. Ga... ga..." From that day on, he gradually understood: the air is visible.Before the wind blows, you can hear the rustling of the leaves being blown by the wind.If you listen carefully, Ye Zi seems to be saying: "The wind is coming, it's so scary, so scary...Come on! Hold on, the wind is coming..." He thought, something as inconspicuous as a leaf can see the wind... because birds can see the wind, they can soar in the sky.And there are several ways to fly, flying slowly is completely different from flying up all at once.... He also learned that air comes in many shapes, flavors, and varieties.Although the air floating on the ground is as transparent as water, he can clearly see it. One day, he was on the mountain and saw two musicians in the air - crows, they flapped their wings happily. In the western sky, scale clouds swim like fish. It's unbelievable, but that guy is actually flying! At this time, the crows flew over. "You can finally fly!" "Dude, how old are you? So slow!" "Oh, it's not the wind over there, it's this side." "Try flying along the wind that hits the mountain wall and goes up." Then, he took the wind and flew into the sky. At that time, he thought: There is really nothing more satisfying than flying in this world. But if you think about it carefully, none of the others seem to be able to fly. Is it really impossible to fly? Because I can clearly see the bald head of the old man next door? Or is it because I can see the courtyard of someone else’s house? There must be some reason. he thought.However, being able to fly is indeed a happy thing. From that day on, he often secretly flew with the birds and learned from each other. One day, he discovered a terrifying power more incredible than flying. That morning, he washed his face twice. "It's not clean, please wash it again!" He was going to be obedient, but when he looked in the mirror, the reflected face said, "Don't look at me! It's not dirt, it's freckles." The face stared at him angrily. The mirror snapped into pieces. At first, he didn't know he had this power. A few days later, he was running on a small path in the field when he accidentally tripped over a cut tree root. "Ah...it hurts!" He hugged the place where he was hit and fell to the ground. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts to death..." He looked at the roots angrily. Snapped…… The roots split in an instant.Then hundreds of screams were heard. "It's bad! The castle has collapsed. Be careful everyone, the guards are assembled! Protect the queen! Get the eggs to a safe place!" That's an ant's castle.That guy was crying, not because his feet hurt, but because he hurt the ants... I can no longer look at things with horrible eyes!--I will destroy things with those eyes!
