Chapter 175 Pleading
Where did I meet her? Mao Dan thought about this question and was sure that he would not forget such an important thing. After all, she was the most precious memory in his heart. However, man is such an animal. When he does not carry out certain activities for a long time, the relevant functions will deteriorate. Those beautiful fantasies are likely to survive. Mao Dan thought for a long time and finally remembered it.
Yes, it's in the desert. When I first saw her, she was still riding a camel. She walked uneasily in the desert. I could see that she hadn't drunk water for many days. In fact, at that time, I was curious about why a girl ran to the desert by herself and why she could go so far.
However, at that time, I was still a young man, and my heart trembled when I saw a hazy girl. She is different from the girls in Xuecheng. The girls in Xuecheng are rigid every day, and in this pure city, all desires are suppressed. Men and women choose to be together just to raise new children and inherit the school city to convey this civilization. Maodan doesn't even know who his parents are. After his father finishes the ceremony with his mother, he will never meet his mother again, and after his mother gives birth to him, she will leave Maodan.
Yes, family affection is not allowed in the city. The only social relationship here is teachers and students. The teacher represents everything here, and the classmates are their own friends. But how can such a person have friends?
At that time, I stood on the watchtower of Xuecheng and saw the shaky girl through the thousand-mile mirror. She seemed to be dying soon. I knew that even if I could give her water, with her current weakness and her weak physical condition, it was impossible to walk out of this desert.
This desert is very big. Sometimes I regard it as the whole world, boundless. Sometimes I think that the outside world told by the teachers is fake, and those bachelors who left the city are just dead. This is just a lie made up by the teachers to deceive us. They hope I hope we believe that knowledge can make the world immortal.
Speaking of which, I seem to have been writing my own manuscript since that day. Because that morning, I felt that it would be too difficult for me to just have sex with a woman and then forget her. I can't do this, and my feelings don't allow it. I should set a better way to spread knowledge to Xuecheng, and the knowledge can be written down. Of course, at that time, I was just a small apprentice. I prepared the scroll of parchment and thought about it for a long time. When I began to write the first word, the young man's playability made me suddenly want to take a look at the desert. At that time, I didn't know what was going on. I felt that if I didn't look at it. This first stroke could never be written, and then I walked up to the tower and saw her through the thousand-mile mirror.
Is all this destined? Maybe. It's ridiculous that a bachelor who believes in knowledge and believes that everything can be explained can attribute this kind of thing to fate, which is really the biggest joke. Mao Dan couldn't control his emotions. He felt his facial muscles twitching. He pressed his face and didn't want to cry, although it was a little futile. Memories come like a tide, how can they not continue?
I know that the ferryman will never accept her. Generally speaking, in addition to some work such as taking apprentices to the desert to collect or study, the ferryman is only responsible for sending people out of the desert from the school city, and will never bring them in, let alone A stranger. I looked at her and knew that if she walked for another quarter of an hour, she would walk to the center of the desert, which was the place I didn't dare to go at that time. Her flower-like life would slowly wither and turn into white bones everywhere under the sand sea.
Why was I so stupid at that time? Why didn't I think about how everything was so coincidental and why I found it all? In fact, even if she had a good orientation and time, the bachelors would not take care of the mirror at that time, and only some boring apprentices would go to look outside at that time to relieve the boredom in the city. I'm just an unfortunate person chosen by her, or... I'm lucky.
In a word, I couldn't control so much at that time. All I could do was run down the tower quickly and find a way out of the city. I found a ferryman I knew. It is said that this person is my father or my uncle. Of course, there is nothing to talk about. This was what I speculated through a little vague divination at that time, but divination will weaken in this mysterious place full of knowledge in Xuecheng. The effect is, so this result can only be approximately 1% accurate. I didn't have any feelings for this possible father. At that time, all I thought was that it was relatively more likely to ask this person to take me out and find that girl.
Before that, I had never seen this possible father. Like everyone else, he wore an iron mask. It is said that this was burned red and branded on his face. The ferryman exchanged this self-sacrifice for his ability to walk leisurely in the desert. Of course, this is what my teacher told me. In fact, what I want to ask is, who is the ability to exchange for this sacrifice? God? However, there is no god in the city, only people who have a lot of knowledge. If walking in the desert is also a kind of knowledge, then it is enough to learn. Why exchange it with an iron mask? This is too cruel.
I told the ferryman that I wanted to go to the desert to save a girl. If I don't go faster, she will die.
The ferryman didn't look at me, or he looked at me at that time, but I didn't know. Because the iron mask makes the ferryman look inviolable, but also makes it difficult for people to see their eyes.
Of course, the ferrymen at that time were not deaf and mute, and they could still hear the pleading voices of primary school students like me at that time and the roar of the storm in the desert.
At that time, I was very stupid. When the ferryman didn't give me any reaction, I didn't know how good it was. I just kept saying that she was dying and she was dying. I really want to find some new words, even if I praise the ferryman's Shenwu, ask him for help, or tell him that I may be his son to use these things to transform him and ask him to help me this time. However, at that time, I was too good at doing things, not as smooth as I am now. But then again, if I am as alert and sophisticated as I am now, then beautiful feelings and family affection will not come to me. They will be pushed by my reason before approaching me like the sand flying in the wind, and then slowly dissipate.
I was at a loss and calculated the passage of time with my pulse. From my pulse, it seemed that I felt the girl's life that was about to die at any time, and finally I couldn't help crying loudly. I don't know why she cried, and even now I can't figure it out. I didn't know the girl before, and I didn't even see her face covered with a scarf through the thousand-mile mirror. I don't know if she is beautiful or ugly. I don't know if it's gentle or barbaric. In this case, I actually shed tears for a woman. Now think about it. , what an incredible thing. Maybe it was because I was too young at that time, just a hairy young man. I was extremely eager for the kind of love that I didn't know exactly what kind of love it was, and then I marked it on any woman whose fate might happen to me even if it was only a little bit.
Probably when I cried for the third time, I felt a big hand put on me, and then directly picked me up and whispered to me as I walked, "In what direction?"
At that time, I couldn't stop crying more and more. On the one hand, it was because of the grievance of crying in front of others as a man, and on the other hand, I cried with joy. I couldn't imagine that everything came so suddenly that the veneer actually melted his steel-like heart with a few tears.
Of course, this is just a young and ignorant person who thinks so. How can there be an iron heart in this world?
I thought carefully about the girl's position, and then told the ferryman that it was in the east. But I can't say the specific location. I was too anxious when I looked at the tower. I just wanted to save people, but I didn't expect to calculate her location. It didn't take long, even my knowledge at that time was fast enough, but as an apprentice, I had already thrown these out of the sky when I was in danger. I completely forgot what I learned in class. At that time, I was just a helpless young man.
But the ferryman helped me, and he didn't continue to ask me for my specific location. Maybe he read my inner nervousness from my trembling lips.
Then, I got on the sand boat of the ferryman. A small wooden boat, the ferryman held up the pole in his hand, and the boat glided quickly on the sand. The bottom of the boat rubbed with the sand and made a clattering sound. At that time, this sounded extremely pleasant to me, like a tune belonging to youth, humming the love I was about to get. No, I didn't know what love was at that time. What I wanted to know was maybe it was just the girl's shy thank you. That shyness must be very different from the stiff expression of the women in the city.
