Chapter 2 Dwarfs of the Common Kingdom

The dwarf was transformed from a member of the ordinary country into a small country because of a strange disease.From then on, the world was no longer unusual for him: a bed could be spread out into a desolate wilderness; a row of bookshelves could be turned into a chaotic ocean; and a small city could be like a devil's bloody mouth, ruthlessly slamming him. Swallowed in the darkness, and in the darkness there is a tall crowd that makes him unable to lift his head, swallowing him again. "Maybe you need a trip to allow yourself to accommodate the world." The doctor can't cure the dwarf's disease, so he can only make such a suggestion.The dwarf obeyed, and set off on a journey.

An alley in the city of life. He found a four-sided bread the size of a napkin, with a sturdy bread tree growing on it, and a soft creamy branch studded with beautiful fruits, such as strawberries, cherries, chestnuts, and chocolate. "Damn ants!" Suddenly, a bakery near the alley shouted angrily, and a group of red ants were being chased by a little chef.They "rushed" in front of the dwarf, puffed up their cheeks and carried the bread and "rushed" forward! The dwarf followed the ants out of the big wall hole in the alley, slid under the wheels of the road, crawled along the pipes of a building on the side of the road, and climbed up to the abandoned roof.Without taking a breath, the ants hurriedly put down the bread, their bulging cheeks were like open wind pockets, blowing out an incredible aroma, and suddenly, a bread tree bearing mango grew on the bread!

"Friend, would you like a piece of bread?" The older red ant finally remembered the dwarf. "You guys are amazing! The bread is amazing!" the dwarf exclaimed. "Hey." The red ant scratched its head, "In order to make a living, we have to clean ourselves every day, carry this piece of bread and go to all the bakeries, cherish the food, lightly inhale the aroma and spray it on the bread, come Grow more bread!" "But aren't you humble and painful? You are chased and beaten as thieves every day, and then run away, just to eat a piece of bread." The dwarf looked at the even smaller red ant. "Do you think everyone has the magic of living?! Besides, we are not thieves, and the smell is shared." The red ant raised its chin.

"Well, it's a great honor to visit the Ant Kingdom." Afraid of being underestimated by the red ants, the dwarf hurriedly declared that he was from a different country from them: "I am a dwarf from an ordinary country!" Ordinary ants." The red ant nodded. Taking a piece of bread given by the red ant, the dwarf left the city of life and came to the forest of invisibility.The invisible forest is full of green dogtail grass, extending to the endless end, grand and gorgeous.In the woods, there are only soil and sky, houses, lights, and crowds, all of which seem to have been isolated from the world.

The dwarf decided to stay with the dog's tail grass.He thought that perhaps only by hiding himself from others can he obtain real peace.The life of the dogtail grass is as natural as a baby's breath.During the day, they look up at the sun peacefully, shake their bodies when the wind blows, and wash off the dust when it encounters heavy rain. At night, they let the stars shine on their bodies, or they are wrapped in the dark night.To roam under the open sky, to be pampered by the light of day and night, and the gentle breeze and light rain, delights the dwarfs.But soon he was stunned again: He and the dogtail grass look up to the sun so handsomely, dance against the wind so freely, their hearts are transparent after being washed away by the rain, how proud they are shining with the stars, how warm they are hugging the night ...But it seems that it is not ideal to hide everything that is outstanding, so that no one will notice it.

"What? Are you leaving?" Suddenly, a piece of bristlegrass raised an eyebrow at the dwarf. "Uh, don't you think that life that is not watched by others, even if it exists incomparably poetically, is still very meaningless..." The dwarf's timid reply was interrupted by the dogtail grass: "What is meaningless? We know that our own existence is Enough! Besides, we are endowed with the language and secrets of nature, which is a silent force that cannot be told to you humans." "Then you will tell me now?" The dwarf blinked his eyes. "Hmm, it's only because you can stand with us humbly! In short, every life has its own great way of existence, including you." The dog's tail grass said tugging.

In the end, the dwarf gave the dogtail grass a "human-like" kiss as a pious farewell.He continued to walk forward, thinking of red ants and foxtail grass. They seemed to clear some fog from his heart. Before he was sure what was after the fog cleared, he found himself at the bottom of a mountain. A huge drop of water hit the top of the dwarf's head, and he raised his head exclaimed: God, there are giants on the mountain!Oh, if he was the size of a mouse under the feet of an ordinary man, he was about the size of a beetle under the feet of a giant!The dwarf glanced at the mountain, only to realize that the water drop was the giant's tear, and he was crying!He couldn't help but moved a few steps towards the hillside, and finally saw the giant clearly. The giant was the same as himself, and the only difference between the giant and ordinary people was the enlarged and reduced versions.The giant covered his mouth and heart, and tears flowed from between his fingers, before falling heavily to the ground...

"Are you hurt?" The giant gave the dwarf a sympathetic touch, causing him to climb up the mountain and jump to the giant's toes.The giant felt his toes itch, and looked down, the appearance of the dwarf stopped his tears: "Not hurt...but it seems to be hurt again, and a big, big black hole opened up in my heart..." "Well, I I also tried..." The dwarf murmured, and the giant lamented in his ears: "Yes. People from the country of little people and the country of giants are not suitable to be born in ordinary countries. Even if we have no ability to harm this world, we can We dare not disturb or approach it. Besides, we are even more afraid of being hurt by the world." The giant expressed the feeling of the dwarf, but at this moment he had a strange idea: "Actually, there is only one country, and life is life. Every life can bloom a power to protect itself and get close to the world, even a single seed can do it, let alone giants and dwarfs?! Let's go find this power. Well, it can also be called magic!" Little As the dwarf talked, his whole body gradually became full of vitality. He was sure that the red ants and the foxtail grass had given him something.

"Really?! Can I really leave this mountain and find what I want?!" The black hole in the giant's heart seemed to be filled with a ray of light, and he put all his hopes on the dwarf's answer.The dwarf lay down on the giant's feet easily, put his hands behind his head and said to the giant, "Go!"
