Chapter 3 Chapter 3 The ideal of knowing nothing has come true

One day, Quan Zhi was sitting at home, looking out the window.It's a really nasty day.The sky is always gloomy.The sun has not been seen since morning, and the rain has not stopped.Of course, there is no need to think about going for a walk.Therefore, I didn't know that I was bored and panicked. Everyone knows that the weather has different effects on the residents of Hundred Flowers City.For example, the little erudition said: It doesn't matter to him whether it snows or rains, and even the worst weather can't prevent him from working at home; the doctor Xiaoyaowan said with certainty: bad weather suits him better than good weather Mind, because it can exercise little people's muscles and bones, and make them less sick; the poet Xiaohua said: The most satisfying thing for him is to go into the attic when it rains heavily, lie on the leaves of dry trees, and listen to the raindrops beating roof.

"Bad weather is making trouble everywhere." Little Flower said. "It's dangerous to stick your nose out in the street, but it's warm and comfortable in the attic. The dry leaves smell nice, and the raindrops are beating on the roof... How happy and comfortable I am at this time, I just want to write a poem!" However, most little people don't like rain.There was a little girl named Xiaoshuidrop who cried every time it rained.When asked why she cried, she replied, "I don't know either. I always cry when it rains." Knowing nothing is of course not as fragile as this crying little water drop, but when the weather is bad, he is always in a bad mood.This time too.He looked sadly at the slanting rain, then at the wet violets under the window in the yard, and at the little dog Burka, who used to sit chained in front of the house, but now got into it. Entering the small pavilion, just poke the tip of your nose at the entrance of the cave.Look out from the inside.

"Poor Burka!" thought Quan Mo. "Sitting in chains all day long, I can't even run casually. Now it's raining, and it has to stay in the narrow kennel. When the rain stops, it's time to let it go for a walk." However, it still rained non-stop.Knowing nothing, I began to feel: the rain will not stop, it will continue to fall; the sun will hide forever, and will never poke its head out from behind the dark clouds. "What will happen to us then?" I don't know what to think. "The rain would soak the ground and make it so muddy that it would be impossible to walk and try to ride a car. All the streets would be filled with dirty water. The dirty water would first cover the houses, the flowers and the trees, and then the little people. It was terrible! "

While I was imagining these terrible things and how difficult it would be to live in this muddy world, the rain gradually stopped.The wind blew away the dark clouds, the sun finally showed its face, the sky was clear, and the eyes looked bright.On the blades of grass and on the petals, large water droplets that have not yet dried up dangled and shone with silver light.Everything around seems to be getting younger, showing a happy smile. Quan Zhi finally woke up from his fantasy. "Sun!" he shouted with joy when he saw the radiant sun. "Sun! Sun!" He immediately ran out into the yard.

The other little people ran after him.Everyone danced, sang, and played games.Even the little erudite who said that the dark clouds in the sky and the sun were the same to him anyway was dancing non-stop in the yard for joy. I didn't know that I forgot all about the rain and mud all at once.He felt that there would no longer be dark clouds in the sky, and that the sun would never cease to shine.He forgot even the burka, but soon remembered it again, and immediately untied it from its chains.Burka was also running around the yard, barking with joy and biting people's legs.But it doesn't hurt, because it never really bites its own people, only outsiders.Its temper is like this.

After the little ones had played for a while, they resumed their work.Some go to the woods to pick mushrooms, because there are always a lot of mushrooms after the rain. I don't know if I didn't go to the woods.He sat on a bench by the pavilion and read a book.At this time, Burka, who could run around at will, found a hole in the fence, got into the street, saw a pedestrian with a cane in his hand, and wanted to bite him.Everyone knows that dogs hate sticks in other people's hands very much.I didn't know that I was so fascinated by reading that I didn't hear the dog barking on the street.Before long, the sound of the dog barking became louder and louder.Quan Wuzhi dropped the book, and then remembered that he forgot to lock Bulka on the chain.He ran out the door and saw Burka yelling frantically at a passer-by and trying to go around and bite his leg.The pedestrians were spinning in circles, waving their canes desperately, trying to drive Burka away.

"Come back, Burka! Come back!" Quan Zhi shouted in fright. However, Burka refused to obey, so he had to run to grab it by the collar and drag it aside. "Hmph! You bastard! Tell you to live, but you won't listen!" Don't know that he waved his hand and was about to beat Burka on the forehead, but when he saw the poor puppy blinking and narrowing his eyes in fear, he felt sorry for it, so he didn't beat him, but dragged him into the yard .After chaining Bulka, Quan Mo ran out the door again to see if it had bitten a passer-by. The passer-by, apparently exhausted from fighting Burka, was resting on a small bench by the fence.I did not see it clearly until now: he wore a beautiful robe of dark blue material, with gold stars and silver crescents embroidered on it; a black hat with the same embroidery on his head, and feet Wear a pair of red loafers with the toe turned up.He doesn't look like a resident of Baihua City, because he has a long white mustache, and a longer, big white beard that almost reaches his knees, just like Santa Claus.No one in Baihua City has such a beard, because none of the residents in the city grow beards.

"The dog didn't bite you, did it?" Quan asked with concern, looking at the weird old man curiously. "It's a nice dog!" said the bearded old man. "This puppy is nice, very smart. Huh!" He put his cane between his knees, propped his hands on it, and squinted to see nothing.Knowing nothing, he also sat on the edge of the stool. "This is Little Bullet's dog, and it's called Burka." Quan Zhi said. "Little Bullet used to take him hunting. When he was free, he was chained so he wouldn't bite. Didn't he bite you?" "No, my dear boy. Almost bit, but not bitten."

"That's not good." Quan Mo said. "I'm not saying it's bad for not biting you, I'm saying he probably frightened you. It's all my fault. I unchained him and then forgot to put him on. Please forgive me !" "Okay, I forgive you." The bearded man said. "I see, you are a good boy." "No, I just want to be a good kid. That is, I used to think that way. I even did some good things, and now I don't." Quan Wuzhi waved his hand and began to carefully look at the red shoes on the opponent's feet.He found that there were a pair of half-moon buttons with stars on the shoes.

"Why don't you do it again?" asked the little old man. "Because it's all fake." "What's bogus?—a good thing?" "No, it's a magician... Please tell me, are your shoes gilded or pure gold?" "Pure gold... why on earth do you think magicians are fake?" Without knowing it, she told him how she had fantasized about a magic wand, and how the little thumbtack had told him to do something good, and how he had gotten nothing afterwards.Because he can only do good deeds for the sake of the magic stick, not selflessly. "You said just now that you let Burka go for a walk. Did that also be done in order to get the magic stick?" asked the little old man.

"What are you talking about!" Xiao Wujia waved his hand. "I forgot about the magic wand at the time. I just pity the Burka for keeping it locked." "So you did it out of good intentions?" "certainly." "Look, this is already a good thing!" "How strange!" cried Omniscient, and he laughed with delight. "I didn't feel it myself, but I did a good thing." "And then you did another good thing," said the little old man. "When is this?" "Didn't you protect me from being bitten by dogs? Is this a bad thing? Don't you also do this for the magic stick?" "No! I haven't even thought about the magic wand!" "Look!" said the old man happily. "Then you did the third good thing: You came to ask me if the dog bit me, and apologized to me. This is a good thing, because you should always care about others." "It's really strange!" Quan didn't know how to laugh. "Three good things are all connected! I have never encountered such a miracle. If I can meet a magician today, it will not be surprising at all!" "There is no need to be surprised at all. You have already met." He looked at the little old man suspiciously. "You may still say that you are a magician?" "Yes, I am a magician." Quan didn't know how to open his eyes wide and looked at the little old man, trying to see clearly if he was smiling.However, he has a beard all over his face, and it is almost impossible to see his smile. "You're probably making fun of me?" Quan said incredulously. "I'm not kidding at all. You've done three good things. Now you can ask me for whatever you want...well, what's your favorite? The invisibility hat or the thousand-mile boots? Or, maybe you want a flying carpet ?” "Do you have a flying carpet?" "That's right! Flying carpets are also available. Everything." The old man shook out a rolled blanket from the wide sleeve of his robe, and he quickly unrolled it, spreading it on the ground in front of Omen. "Look, this is the thousand-mile boots, the invisibility hat..." So saying, he took out his hat and boots from the other sleeve, and laid them side by side on the blanket, and then took out the chiming gusli, the automatic table-cloth, and a great many strange things of all kinds. Little did he know that gradually Chi believed that the real magician was indeed in front of him, so he asked, "Then do you have a magic wand?" "Why not? There's a magic wand too. Here it is, you see!" Then, the magician took out a small reddish-brown round stick that was not too long from his pocket, and handed it to Quan Zhi. I don't know how to take over the magic stick. "Is this real?" he asked, still in disbelief that his fantasy had come true. "It's a real magic wand, you don't have to doubt it." The magician assured him. "If you don't do evil things, all your wishes can come true, just wave the magic wand. However, as soon as you do three evil things, the magic wand will lose its magic power at once." I didn't know that I was so happy that I couldn't breathe, and my heart was beating twice as fast as usual in my chest! "Okay, I'll go and tell Little Pushpin that we have a magic wand now! She taught me how to find a magic wand." Don't know. "Go, go, go," said the magician. "Make little thumbtack happy too. I know she's been thinking about the wand for a long time." The magician touched Quan Zhi's head with his hand, and it was only this time that he saw the amiable smile on his kind face. "Then goodbye!" Quan Zhi said. "I wish you health!" The magician replied with a smile. Quan didn't know how to stick the magic stick to his chest, and ran desperately, trying to take the shortest way to the little thumbtack.He turned into the alley, and then he remembered, forgot to thank the magician for giving him such a wonderful gift, and ran back quickly.Running out of the alley, he saw that there was no one on the street.Neither on the bench nor anywhere else, there was no trace of the magician.The magician disappeared with a flying carpet and other strange things.He seemed to have sunk into the ground, or melted into the air.
