Chapter 9 silver fox

At the moment when the epiphyllum blooms, the clear fragrance of flowers permeates the air, as if the clear flowing water is infiltrating my room - I can't help but close my eyes - let the eyelids close gently, and the heart slowly open, to fully feel the quiet beauty of this moment ——When I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find that there was a little silver fox lying on the white petals of the epiphyllum. It is so small and beautiful, light as a dream, and like a weightless moonlight.It watched me vigilantly, its eyes shining like water shadows under the moon. From the very beginning, it has maintained its jumping posture, as if it only needs a second, it will escape from this world and disappear in the long and dark river of time-on the fleeting epiphyllum lies a beautiful Looking at the mysterious silver fox, I felt a huge desire in my heart: No matter what, I must keep it!

I carefully stretched out my hand to it, and the silver fox jumped onto my palm nimbly—it moved so quickly, as if it wanted to tell me that if I went against its will, it would immediately go away from me. While it was ready, my hands slowly tightened and tightened - finally, I clenched its soft fur and caught it!I clutched it tightly to my heart—and even then I couldn't quite believe I had it. Sure enough, after only a few seconds, the silver fox slipped away from between my fingers. It walked so easily, like water passing through sand, like wind passing through leaves.There seemed to be a flash of lightning in front of my eyes-I opened my palm, and the palm was empty.

The silver fox sat on the petals, blinked its mischievous eyes, and said to me: "Can you catch time? Time is fleeting." "Little silver fox, you are so nice and beautiful! I love you so much! Can you come to me? Please stay, stay and live with me!" "The silver fox brought by Epiphyllum will go back to the eternal abyss of time together with Epiphyllum—but if you are willing to use your time to feed me..." "Feeding you with my time?" "Yes, I have to eat time to gain power. If I eat fifty years of your life, I can go back to the past time and stay at any moment in history, then I can know All the secrets of the past——Don’t you want to know the truth of many historical events? Don’t you want to know about the lost games in ancient times?——I’m going to take you back to those critical moments and let you clarify the ridiculousness in the history books For example, you can immediately know how human beings originated, how the early people lived, and how the pyramids were built... Maybe you don’t like history, but don’t you want to read those lost manuscripts—I want to show you Written by Cao Xueqin, the manuscript after eighty chapters; I will take you to see who wrote the strange book... Don’t you want to listen to those ancient tunes that have been lost——I will take you to listen to "Yangchun Baixue" that Song Yu has heard " and "Lower Riba People"; go to listen to Bo Ya's performance; go to listen to the lost famous Yuefu songs; go to listen to the songs of Song Ci that you can't forget all day long... Don't you want to watch the lost ancient Chinese dance-I want to take you Go to see the witch's dance in Chu Ci, Zhao Feiyan's palm dance, Yang Yuhuan's "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes" dance, and the dancer in Xiao Shan's Ci. Lost paintings, lost characters, lost swordsmanship—I'll take you to see Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", and I'll take you to see Jing Ke's sword dance... Don't you want to see the brilliance that was burned by fire? Architecture, do you want to see the magnificent city standing in ancient times—I will take you to stand in front of Afang Palace, in front of Yuanmingyuan, and take you to the Six Hundred and Eighty Temple in the Southern Dynasty... We will also go to Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, Chang'an in Tang Dynasty, Bianliang in Song Dynasty..."

"Ah, stop talking, what are you waiting for? Take me there!" "Please travel through the mirror of time." Silver Fox handed me a transparent mirror, and in the mirror stood a white-haired woman.If I pass through, she will come out—that’s me who lost fifty years—in such an instant, I will lose fifty years! I regret. "Oh no! I can't lose these fifty years of my life, I want to live, I want to love, I want to write - what use is all that past history to me? I must have a life of my own Time, I have to walk my way with my own feet..." I returned the mirror of time to the silver fox, rejecting the extremely attractive time travel.

"Then, give me one year." Silver Fox said to me, "Give me one year, and I can walk through your whole life. When you forget your past—you can't remember your childhood anymore, then And I can’t remember the voices and faces of my friends——If you want to reminisce about the past—those good times, those sad times, I’ll take the time camera back to the past and take pictures of your past, always Repair your memories. I can still walk into your future, you can know in advance what will happen next year, the year after, even ten years later, fifty years later..." "Ah, no!" I knew clearly that I was not eager to know the future, "Let the memory choose to remember or forget! Let the future always be a suspense!"

The silver fox laughed, and its laughter was like the sound of silver bells on the feet of a toddler. At this time, the white petals of the epiphyllum have been fully unfolded. I know that for an epiphyllum, the full unfolding is the beginning of withering... This little silver fox who is talking to me, I found that it was shaking. The tail is melting and disappearing in time... "Give me a week..." The silver fox's voice gradually melted away in the fragrance of flowers, and I couldn't hear what it said. Its eyes are shining, its fur is silver, it is so mysterious and beautiful... I know that once it disappears, I will never meet it again...

"Okay, I'll give you a week!" I yelled at it hastily.I thought anxiously, in a long life, it shouldn't matter if I lose a week... Silver Fox's smile froze. After a short-lived, the silver fox remained on my desk—it failed to gain the magical ability to travel through time and space, and even lost its agile shape—this wonderful silver fox became a beautiful little alarm clock—a smile Yes, a little fox alarm clock without a tail.Every morning it wakes me up with a ringing laugh like a silver bell.Many friends who come to visit me like this little alarm clock.But no one knew until I wrote the story, and I lost a week trying to get it.Although I failed to solve the mystery of time with the help of the silver fox, it reminds me all the time that my time is passing away...
