Chapter 47(1/2)
The Unreachable Tomorrow (Please read on Tuesday!!)
It turns out that human eyes look like this.
That was a boy from the school. The school was the only private school in the town. On weekdays, the little fox would occasionally lie on the wall and watch the fat boys studying.
She had the impression that this young man was not very popular in the private school. She heard that it was because he liked lying very much, so he often walked alone and no one talked to him.
"You, you, you, who are you?"
The little fox was frightened. He looked around hurriedly and found that no one was nearby.
Do you want to silence yourself?
"Want to eat?"
The little boy handed her a white-flour steamed bun, which was still steaming and white and tender.
Those were steamed buns from Wang Ermian Cake Shop next to the theater. She had eaten them before, and she didn't have to spend money every time.
The little fox felt that the other person's calmness contrasted with his own panic, which made him look so embarrassed. He was a big monster!
This fish-lipped human being!
I just insisted that I don't want to eat your food, but my stomach growled loudly.
The student held his belly and laughed;
what's so funny!
Probably because she felt it was too embarrassing. If she didn't want his buns, it would make it look like she was running away. The little fox fiercely went over and snatched his buns away.
"You didn't give it to me, I took it away myself!"
The young boy smiled and nodded;
The little fox felt frustrated for the first time.
Then she became vicious again. She is a big monster that brings disaster to the country and the people. This human is really too presumptuous. Don't make yourself angry! If she gets angry, she will eat him!
"Would you like to go see a social opera?"
"Eh?"
The little boy smiled and pulled her sleeves, leaned back, pulled her staggering, and invited her into this noisy northern town.
She followed him inexplicably.
The cicadas chirp absurdly in midsummer, and the camel bells in the town ring with wind and sand;
The human voice that is usually far away from me is suddenly close at hand;
It was like she had stepped into the human world for the first time, like a ghost that had been floating in this town for hundreds of years and landed on the ground for the first time.
It's obviously the same thin streets as usual, with yellowed stage curtains, candy man stalls crowded with people, noisy pubs, and the never-ending clash of arms and iron in Zhang Blacksmith's house;
The river running through the town glowed with golden light, and the young man from the private school took her to a familiar place in the past. The world was like a frozen old photo that was set on fire. After it was burned to ashes, everything began to come out of the picture.
The little fox freezes time and starts moving around.
She looked at everything that was familiar in the past, and it suddenly became strange.
"Where is this?" she asked blankly.
"This, this is Su Town."
"Su Town, where is Su Town?"
"Su Zhen... Su Zhen is... in the world!"
At sunset, the boy told her that there would be a lantern festival tomorrow and asked her if she wanted to join him.
The little fox looked at the young man and looked into his eyes. In addition to the evening stars, there was also his own reflection.
He agreed in a daze.
"Then see you tomorrow!"
"I'm going to be scolded to death by my mother for playing so dirty..."
"By the way, my name is Zhou Shui, what's your name?"
How dare this human being ask my name like this? The little fox stepped in and said, "Listen up, kid, my name is Tushan Wanwan!"
"Ah, Wanwan, I had a great time today, see you tomorrow night!"
After the boy left, the little fox froze in place for a long time.
See you tomorrow?
Can we see you again tomorrow?
Why wait until tomorrow?
She just stood there, the moon came out, turned around and then set in the west. Dawn broke in the east, and the street started to become noisy. Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were all walking on their own roads. She was on the roadside.
Looking at them, her time seemed to have stopped again.
"Ah, how long have you been waiting?"
When night fell, the human boy appeared again, running over panting.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Forget it, let's go. There is a lantern festival tonight. My husband told us that Su Town's lantern festival is very famous!"
At night, there are dozens or hundreds of small boats floating on the river, people wearing nice clothes, and countless lights floating on the river, floating along the river into the distance.
They also placed a lamp on the water.
"Ha! So awesome!"
"My light floats so far!"
"Hurry, pass the one in front!"
The boy pulled him and ran through the crowd, bumped into someone and fell.
"Why are you running around alone?" the man muttered, and the boy just got up silently and pulled the little fox away.
They said they would also play together tomorrow;
They said goodbye to each other;
The little fox stood on the roadside watching the boy leave;
It took her a long time to react, and suddenly someone laughed;
That's it, see you tomorrow;
We can see you tomorrow;
I still want to go to many places;
Tomorrow, I really want to come soon;
She stood there and waited, and waited and waited, and forgot how long she waited. She only remembered that the sun rose and then set, and kept rising and falling. The shadows on the road slanted long and then turned into a point, and then tilted to the other side again.
, goes round and round;
Crowds of people on the street gathered and dispersed like a tide.
How long have you been waiting?
Tomorrow...hasn't come yet?
The little fox moved;
She followed the spirit of the young man and found his yard.
She saw the boy's home.
His father was sullen, his mother was crying, there were many people in the yard, and the young man was clamoring to go out.
Some people say that the young master was hit by evil spirits;
Some people say they are hallucinating;
The servant whispered to one side, saying that it was too scary. He had always lied before, but that day the young master was talking and laughing alone on the street;
The boy's mother cried and said why her son was so miserable;
The little fox was watching outside the yard, wondering why he didn't come out to play with him;
Half a year passed, and she finally saw the boy again on the roadside;
"Hey, you're here!"
But, those were a pair of eyes as calm as water.
It was as if he could no longer see himself or hear his own voice;
But no;
The little fox looked into his eyes, and there was clearly his reflection in those black and white eyes;
To be continued...
