"What kind of world is outside the giant wall?" The girl looked at Du Dian curiously, and said, "Is there the boundless sea and endless forest that the bard said?"
Du Dian turned back to the pavilion, found a chair to sit down, shrugged and said: "I just appointed scavengers, and I haven't been outside the huge wall yet, but there must be seas and forests."
"How do you know?" Jenny also followed him to the pavilion, sat on the chair opposite the white lacquered round table, and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that you have never been outside the giant wall?"
Hearing her words, Du Dian suddenly thought of the old earth, the blue sea and forests he had seen, and many beautiful scenery, and all of these will never return after the global nuclear explosion. He felt a little sad in his heart, and murmured: "I have seen it, of course I know."
"Have you seen it?" Jenny asked in surprise, "Where did you see it?"
Du Dian came back to his senses, knowing that he had slipped his tongue, and even said: "I saw it in the poems of the bards, but I believe that those must exist, otherwise, where did the bards know it? Maybe it's fantasy?"
"Do you think so?" Jenny was a little surprised, and said: "I think so, but my father always said that those are fabricated by bards, and they don't exist in reality. Outside the giant wall, he also said that it is very dangerous outside the giant wall, is that true?"
Du Dian thought, most likely your father was afraid that you would be too curious, so he sneaked up to the huge wall to peek at the scene outside, and said, "The danger does exist."
"It's really dangerous?" Jenny's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.
Seeing her gloomy gaze, Du Dian suddenly felt that he had extinguished a beautiful hope with his own hands. He couldn't bear it, and said: "However, although there are dangers, it does not mean that there is no sea and forest. I believe that one day, The danger outside the wall will disappear and we will be able to go out and see the mountains and the sea and go wherever we want."
Jenny's face suddenly glowed, and she said, "Really?"
"Really!" Du Dian said seriously.
Jenny showed a happy smile on her face, and said: "I think so too. I told my father before, but he always told me to dispel such thoughts, and said that there is an unknown place outside the giant wall, except for people like you Except for special personnel, others are forbidden to step in."
Du Dian smiled and said nothing.
"I really want to go outside the giant wall!" Jenny's face was full of longing. Suddenly, she thought of something, turned her head to look at Du Dian, and said, "Since the outside of the giant wall is so dangerous, why do you still want to be a scavenger and go to the giant wall?" Outside the wall?"
Du Dian thought to himself, I have to ask you nobles. However, seeing that she is still young, it is obvious that she has not yet been involved in these aristocratic politics, so she said: "There is no reason, maybe I want to go outside the giant wall to have a look, just like you."
Jenny looked at him with a hint of admiration on her face, and said, "You are amazing. Even though we are the same age, you are much braver than me."
Du Dian smiled, "Because I'm a boy."
Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help but blushed, and secretly looked up at Du Dian. Seeing that he didn't notice her shy appearance, she was slightly relieved, but her heart beat slightly faster. She thought, how can I be with a The boy is alone in the garden. If his father finds out, he must teach me a lesson.
Thinking of this, she immediately prepared to lift her skirt and get up to say goodbye to Du Dian.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Du Dian thought he said something wrong, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate against women. There are many girls among our scavengers. However, I think you should listen to your father. , the outside of the giant wall is really dangerous, after it is cleaned out, sooner or later, I can go to see the outside world, and I believe that day will not be too late!"
Under the faint moonlight, Jenny looked at the serious and confident look on the boy's face, and couldn't help but startled for a moment, subconsciously said: "Really?"
"Hmm!" Du Dian nodded affirmatively.
When Jenny heard his resolute words, she seemed to be a little infected, and said forcefully, "I believe in you!"
Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "I also believe in myself."
Jenny laughed, and the idea of getting up and leaving had disappeared, and she said after laughing: "You know, my dream is to become a "priest". Although priests can't go outside the giant wall, at least they can Judge all the bad guys inside the giant wall. I believe that when there are no more bad guys in the world, everyone will work together to wipe out the danger outside the giant wall soon. "
Du Dian smiled and said, "Did you learn the law?"
"Of course." Jenny grinned, showing a smug expression.
Du Dian said with a smile: "It just so happened that I also studied the law."
Jenny was surprised: "Have you ever studied the law?"
"Self-taught." Du Dian added.
"Do you want to be a priest too?"
"Well, and the goal is as great as yours!"
"Great? Giggle... Yes, our goals are great!"
"how old are you?"
"It's just eleven."
"I'm almost twelve."
As the night darkened, in the manor and in the flower pavilion, the two of them talked more and more into each other, unaware of the passage of time, as if there were endless things to say, from hobbies to their respective ages, and views on things, they all had something in common, as if Found a confidant.
"One has no ears, the other has no tail, giggling..." Jenny covered her stomach and bent over laughing, completely forgetting to pay attention to the image of the aristocrat, and said: "What kind of strange song is this, such a strange tune, so interesting, giggling... "
Du Dian spread his hands and said, "Children's song."
Jenny chuckled again, thinking that there is such a weird children's song, and it must not scare the children. However, there seems to be no other explanation for the strange lyrics and simple tones other than children's songs.
Just as Du Dian was about to say a few more children's songs, he suddenly felt a mosquito bite on his wrist and slapped him to death with his backhand. Then he came to his senses and couldn't help but glance back at the direction of the banquet hall.
Seeing his actions, Jenny also reacted, screaming secretly in her heart, hurriedly raised her skirt and stood up, and said to Du Dian: "I have to go back, otherwise my father will be very angry if he can't find me."
Du Dian was just about to go back, and said: "Then you go first, I will go there later, so as not to be seen walking together."
When Jenny heard this, she couldn't help blushing, turned around and ran outside the pavilion, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said: "You just said, you have heard a lot of beautiful poems, and I like poems very much, can you give me a gift?" first?"
Du Dian was taken aback, there was no shelter from the pavilion, the moonlight happened to fall on the girl's cheek, the beauty was as unreal as an elf, his heart thumped, and he subconsciously said: "No problem." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized , Immediately regretted that all I had heard were Tang poems, which were oriental classical poems, completely different from the poetry genres in this world.
Suddenly, he thought of the modern poem that his sister often read, so he could only bite the bullet and read softly:
how to make you meet me
In my most beautiful moments, for this
I have prayed before God for five hundred years
begging it to let us form a relationship
God turned me into a tree
grow by the road you must pass
…
Du Dian remembers that this poem is called "A Flowering Tree", and the "Buddha" in the poem was changed to "God" by him. After all, the belief in this world is the Holy See of Light and God the Father, and there is no Buddhism.
Hearing the verses that Du Dian recited softly, Jenny was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she realized that her face was flushed, and she turned around and ran along the path as if fleeing, disappearing into the darkness.
