Chapter 4 If spring can really give people rebirth...

The snow was falling hard, and it still didn't stop in the middle of the night. The white fur rabbit stopped on the snow, leaving long footprints behind.For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a mark left on the earth, or something lost from his body? It wasn't too cold when the snow fell, and the snowflakes even formed a layer of moist moisture on the eyelashes.Taking a deep breath, he scaled up the things he was carrying. Immediately... I remember that there is a temple in front where you can hide from the snow.I can only spend the night there tonight. It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything to cover it.The rabbit thought to himself, it would be nice if he could tear off the shadow and put it on his body.While thinking, he had already seen the gray tiles of the dilapidated temple.

When the wooden door that was about to fall was pushed open, the wind picked up for no reason.The snow flakes flew into the eyes, the rabbit closed his eyes and opened them again, hey?someone? In the dim light of the temple, the silhouette of another rabbit slowly emerged, a gray fur rabbit.Just as she was shaking off the snow from her body, Linglong's eyes turned to look at the white rabbit. Look at this... isn't it just entering the temple?Could it be that when he pushed the door just now, the gust of wind was caused by him running in? Without saying a word, the gray rabbit walked to the corner, picked up some hay, and started a fire very skillfully.

"If there is a fire, you can cook something to eat." The white rabbit smiled, wanting to break the deadlock with this stranger who would share a night with him. Then the gray rabbit raised his head and looked at the white rabbit again.White Rabbit smiled as friendly as he could, although he was always nervous when facing strangers.This kind of worry and tension has been with him almost all his life, and he can't get rid of it no matter what.But the white rabbit knows that when he smiles, he looks absolutely docile and amiable from any angle. "Do you have something to eat?" The gray rabbit's eyes were cold and clear, like grapes soaked in water.While talking, the rays of light swirled out one by one like snowflakes.

"Actually, there is only a pot and no materials." The white rabbit pointed to the heavy pot on his back. "Oh, how about we make a deal?" "What... what deal?" The white rabbit asked suspiciously.Could it be that the person in front of him is a businessman? "I have dried mushrooms and some rice here, use your pot to make me something to eat." "There is no need to trade, my pot can be used by you." "I don't want to take advantage of people." Gray Rabbit threw a bag over, "I only have this, the rest is up to you."

The white rabbit put the pot on the fire, and went to hold the snow water to melt it.Throwing in the rice and mushrooms, I took out bottles and cans from my luggage, and they were all placed on the ground in a long row.Pour them into the pot of water in the same way. "Hey, what did you put?" "Seasoning, don't worry, it's not poisonous." The white rabbit smiled, and he found that the gray rabbit was handsome, and it was the gray fur that added a sense of rebelliousness. Seemingly interested, Gray Rabbit leaned against the fire to warm its fur, "What are you going to do?"

"Porridge." "Congee...it would be the best if it has meat." The white rabbit took a look at the gray rabbit, and suddenly stopped smiling, "I make all kinds of porridge, but I don't make porridge with meat." "Are you a vegetarian? That's the old rabbit. Now the rabbit doesn't even take a bite of a radish that doesn't taste oily." "No matter what you say, I just don't cook porridge with meat." The white rabbit persisted. When the water boils, the fragrance also wafts out.White Rabbit took out another bowl from his bag, filled the full bowl and handed it to Gray Rabbit first.

"You... aren't a chef, are you?" Gray Rabbit suddenly became curious when he saw White Rabbit's movements. "Ah, almost. But I don't cook anything else, just porridge." "And it must be a vegan porridge? How can there be such insistence?" White Rabbit didn't like to answer the question, so he just forced a smile. "What about you? You look like a loafer." "Me, I'm a painter and a storyteller." "Oh?" The white rabbit raised his eyebrows, "I used to like telling stories, and I also liked writing stories."

"Then why did you change your career again?" "Because there are dark clouds in my heart." "How to say?" "I, every time I write a story, no matter whose business it is, I always have to automatically substitute it on myself. After a long time, I cry every time I write a story, it's so sad. Oh, I only write tragic stories .” "Are you torturing yourself?" After the gray rabbit finished drinking a bowl of porridge, the white rabbit automatically took the bowl and filled another bowl for him, but he didn't touch it. Gray Rabbit pondered for a while, looking at the darkened sky, "This snow, it won't stop today."

"yes." "Hey, didn't you say you used to write stories? Tell me a story?" "Aren't you the same? Drawing and telling stories, it should be you who tell me." "No, you should thank me for making such delicious porridge with my things." The gray rabbit got some hay, piled it up, and lay down on it comfortably, "Hey, tell me, I Listen." "Okay." The white rabbit picked up a stick and poked the fire seemingly unintentionally, but his expression was solemn. That is the story of the distant mountains.It is a very tall mountain.The sound of birds, rivers and wind is engraved in Shan's body, and occasionally children's laughter can be heard.

However, there are obviously few children playing in the mountains, and the mountains are lonely mountains. In a lonely mountain, there lived two equally lonely rabbits. Maybe loneliness is like the shards of sunshine, which are regarded as hearts by rabbits.In such a big mountain, the two rabbits have never met or spoken to each other.Haven't seen any other animals either. When they walk on the road, what they hear in their ears is the voice of the mountain's heart.The wind, the water, and the children's laughter made the rabbit feel sadder the more he heard it.Although the voice was nice, but I don't know why, the better it sounds, the more sad it is.

"A rabbit with an artistic temperament." As a listener, Gray Rabbit knows how to interact very well. The bigger rabbit has gray fur and he is called discouraged.The smaller rabbit has white fur, and his name is Cabbage... When discouraged went out to find food, he saw footprints that belonged to the rabbit but not to him.But even so, even if he knew that there were similar existences in this mountain, he never thought of looking for them. Because he felt that he was used to being alone, and if he saw another rabbit, who knew what would happen? Perhaps another rabbit would make him regret meeting at all? So I looked at it in discouragement, and went home to live my own life. "As expected of being discouraged, Gray Wolf would have chased after him without hesitation..." Gray Rabbit glanced at White Rabbit hesitantly, "Go on." The cabbage is small and the appetite is small, but he likes to walk around in the mountains.Of course, take a look at where the radishes grow, how can there be big radishes and the like. As a result, Bai Cai discovered more than once that the radish he was fancy the day before, when he went to see it the next day, there was only a pit left.Beside the pits, there were scrambled rabbit footprints.Cabbage stopped and thought for a while, and it decided that this guy who always pulled out radishes before it must be very similar to him—even his preferences and tastes for radishes were the same.Cabbage wants to cry when she is lonely, but she can't cry.In fact, thinking about it carefully, he felt that he very much hoped to meet the same kind, even if it was just to take a look from afar.But cabbage is timid.He is afraid of being rejected.He thought he was such a small, unworldly rabbit. So cabbage did not go to find discouragement.He tossed and turned at home, constantly thinking, what does that rabbit look like? "You can try to peep... I mean, this is really a pure little white rabbit. The interaction of ME seems to be thinking of a big bad wolf." Discouraged, he touched his face so that he would not smile so obviously. In order to avoid the cabbage, Frustrated deliberately did not look for the radish field with another footprint.The cabbage is the same thinking, he thought, it is time to find another radish field.The two rabbits set out from their own homes to look for new radishes, but bumped into each other unexpectedly. "The mountains don't turn and the water turns, it's really a touching encounter. Once the legendary golden wind and jade dew meet, they are better than countless people in the world." Gray Rabbit still interrupted this sentence abruptly. There was a huge distance between the two of them, and when they saw each other, they stopped.They all wanted to turn their heads and leave, but for some reason, their feet just didn't move. When Cabbage is nervous, she likes to rub one foot against the other.This small movement caused him great trouble. When he put his left leg down, he tripped over a large clump of grass. He humiliatingly... fell down. Frustrated, the first reaction is, what a stupid rabbit this is!But this idea was carried out while he ran to help the cabbage. There is no distance between the two rabbits.The temperature of the palm made both of them feel very comfortable at the same time, as if something had melted. "They're all so cute and shy." "That's right. The two rabbits became friends, and they haven't been separated for a day since then. But as the relationship grew deeper, Bai Cai discovered more and more that Disheartened is a very good rabbit, whether it's looking for radishes or making a nest. He did a great job, and he seemed to be proficient in even the knowledge that humans only understand. This made Bai Cai feel inferior, and he felt that his ordinary self was not worthy of having such an outstanding friend. White Rabbit's voice sank little by little—one day, Huxin and Baicai were hunted down by a hunter.Cabbage ran too slowly, and discouraged had countless opportunities to escape, but missed it because he had to stop and wait for cabbage. When the hunter rushed over, he dragged the cabbage in frustration and fell into a hole he had dug long ago, allowing both of them to escape.But instead of being grateful and discouraged, Bai Cai said: "In the future, we will never be together again." Gray Rabbit hugged his arms and stopped talking. Despondently asked: "Why?" With tears in his eyes, Bai Cai said: "Because staying with me will waste a lot of your time. Moreover, I also need to travel the world independently, and I need time to hone my skills!" Bai Cai thought to himself, when he was as strong as discouraged, he would no longer have to worry about getting discouraged. But frustrated but mad, he asked repeatedly: "Why do you still say that when you know it will make me sad?" "I don't know!" Bai Cai replied loudly and tremblingly. "Oh, I'm so sorry that you can't even see that I value you. Now I know." But, but...not happy at all.Bai Cai understands that this is letting down his friend's friendship, but what can he do? Tears were about to flow down.Cabbage stubbornly held back. There have been many times in the past, and Bai Cai also had his own friends, but when they found out that he was an ordinary, useless rabbit who was willing to drag people back, they gradually alienated him.Cabbage is no longer allowed to enjoy the rights of being a friend, and he is also prohibited from paying the obligations of being a friend. "You are distrusting me!" "No...don't trust?" Cabbage asked. "Yes, mistrust!" replied discouragedly, "you think that one day I will abandon you, that I will be like other people. But those people are those people, and I am me!" Cabbage was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it that way.Before, he just didn't trust himself, but now he realized that he really didn't trust and lose heart. Thinking of this, Bai Cai softened his tone.He almost gave up his original idea of ​​leaving. "Cabbage, I also have something to tell you." Bai Cai raised her head, looked at the disheartened in a daze, and waited for the next sentence. "From now on, I will never be with you again! I only give others a chance to trust each time! I am very afraid that one day you can't figure it out and say you want to leave again. You made me very sad just now...Actually, I I originally decided to be the only confidant with you, but now, I dare not trust you anymore." "What about the cabbage?" The gray rabbit leaned forward and looked at the white rabbit intently. "Cabbage...Cabbage has turned back into that weak rabbit again. The difference is that he has a guilty and heavy heart. But Baicai, he really wants to know what happens after he gets discouraged." Gray Rabbit smiled lightly, "Frustrated? He was always alone until he met another special rabbit. In fact, hope should never be given up, so discouraged has friends again." "Oh...how did you know?" "I'm just discouraged." Gray Rabbit wiggled his ears and showed White Rabbit his fur on purpose. "Aren't you telling your own story? So you're a cabbage, right?" The White Rabbit lowered its head, acquiescing.The sound of snow pressing down one by one, fine and dry.After a long time, he said in a low voice: "That's okay... that discouragement and that friend... have you been okay?" "Actually, it's not much better than the story between me and you." Frustrated squinted his eyes to look at the flames, his eyes blurred, "It's just that when distrust appeared, I gave him one more chance." There was a flash of light in Bai Cai's eyes, so fast that it was undetectable, and the water-drop-like light quickly penetrated to the sides and penetrated into the fur, "This is very good...really, very good ’” Then, he whispered, “That rabbit, he’s so lucky…” Standing up disheartened, he looked outside the door, "Ah, the snow has stopped. Besides, it's only been one night while telling stories." "Are you leaving?" Bai Cai suddenly noticed something. "Yes, my friend is still waiting for me. What about you? Are you still alone?" "Ah, no, no, I live with my family, and they treat me very well. Anyway, it's very warm." Frustrated, he took a closer look at the cabbage and smiled, "So, I'm leaving now?" Cabbage began to concentrate on cleaning up the fire that was about to be extinguished. He kept adding grass and wood to the fire, making his face covered in ashes, and he didn't care that he was coughing violently due to choking. "Actually, there is something I don't understand, Bai Cai, why did you think of making porridge?" Bai Cai showed his usual sweet and sad smile again. He looked at the gurgling pot and said, "Actually, this is the career I've always wanted to do. It always brings warmth to people. No matter who it is, drink it." It's warm down there, isn't it great?" "Oh." "Be discouraged, let's have another bowl of porridge, breakfast is very important." Disappointed to see the cabbage handed over the bowl again, "So you didn't finish your drink last night?" "Ah, um... Anyway, drink to warm your stomach." Disappointed, he took it. The aroma of the bowl of porridge made him feel a little dazed, and he couldn't help but gulp it down. "Ah, this taste... is it meat?" "It's not meat! How can I put meat? I'm a cook who only cooks vegetarian porridge! All right, all right, let's go!" "Ah, are you driving me away again now? Hey, you have so many problems, why do you like driving me away?!" "Ah, it's different this time. You still have someone waiting. Don't make people sad!" "Then I... just leave?" Bai Cai turned around and began to pack the tableware silently, while answering loudly: "Goodbye!" It wasn't until the sound of discouraged footsteps gradually disappeared that Bai Cai slowly turned around.Looking at the two rows of discouraged footprints—what the hell are those?Is something left behind, or something left behind? Cabbage stomped out the fire, put away the bowl, and picked up his own pot again. Frowning as he started to walk, he had to stop and lift up the place covered by the human apron.The place was wet—full of blood. Sure enough, it really hurts! Cabbage had to gasp for breath, and wrapped up the wound with an apron.On the way here, Bai Cai met the trap set by the hunter. He tried his best to pull the leg off, but he tore off the skin and flesh together. He scrubbed the piece of meat with snow and put it in his bag, not for any other reason, but because he thought it would be better not to leave his things in the wilderness after all. However, just now, when he was making the last bowl of porridge for Xin Xin, he quietly threw that piece of meat into it. At that time, when throwing that piece of meat in, Bai Cai seemed to have clearly seen the scene when he and Xin Xin were still friends.That day was Laba, and all human beings were eating porridge. Bai Cai ran to look for Xin Xin, "Frustrated, have you had your porridge yet?" "Is porridge popular today?" "Today is Laba. Laba needs porridge. I made some. You can drink it." Frustrated, he licked up the porridge in the small bowl, and finally the porridge frowned, "Why don't you even have any minced meat, at least a little bit of oil is fine." "It doesn't matter, next year, at this time next year, I will make porridge for you. I will make you porridge with diced meat, and I will only drink it for you alone." "Then... come next year soon!" He looked at the sky with disappointment and longing.As if time can be shortened all of a sudden, and the next Laba will be delivered to him immediately. But... But, there is no next year. In the second year of Laba, I was discouraged from being with Bai Cai, but Bai Cai learned how to make porridge alone.He was doing better and better, but insisted on refusing to make a bowl of porridge with meat. Bai Cai thought of this and looked into the distance.The ground is plain white, and occasionally a bird flies by, hula--quickly. Bai Cai walked in the opposite direction to the footprints of Disheartened alone, with injuries.There is no family waiting for him in front of him, only Bai Cai is alone, and he has always insisted on walking alone because he was too afraid that he would encounter something that would hurt others again. When the ruined temple was about to leave the cabbage's sight, the cabbage stopped again and looked back at the earth. A wind blows, shaking his white fur.His fur has always been white, even if he is sad, he can't change the fur.Cabbage's sadness is impossible for anyone to see. All of this happened in those long, long years.When happy, when crying bitterly; when the sky is fine, when the sky is cloudy, cabbage has been silently watching the world with its sad and tired eyes. Big, big world... boundless world... The heart that encloses the world is also very big, and the grief that encloses the heart is boundless... Looking at the discouraged footprints, Bai Cai said softly: Goodbye, never see you again... How long ago was that? Once there were two rabbits waiting for spring in the snowy days. "Beautiful things will revive in spring," said the gray rabbit. "If spring can really give people a new life...it would be great..." Bai Cai replied with a bit of sadness, hesitantly. That's discouragement and cabbage. That is the first and last light in the soul, bright, but the only one that dare not touch, light.
