Chapter 1704: The Never-Ending Story
Zhang Zian's story made all the adults present listen with gusto. The clerks slowed down their drinking and pouring frequency, not wanting to miss the details of the story. Little Celery listened to it with fascination.
The reason, first of all, is that the story itself has an excellent idea. It is an allegory about life. It is known as a picture book that is loved by adults and children and transcends the times. It describes life, death and love. Read a million Secondly, Zhang Zian replaced part of the story with the elves in the pet shop, and made up a half-truth and half-fake background story for them. Little Celery is very familiar with them, and immediately had a strong substitution feel.
When Xiao Celery and everyone were still mourning for the blue cat who was determined to save all stray cats, Zhang Zian continued to pull them into another story.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
Everyone thought that he would use the snow lion as a template to tell the story of this white cat, or use Xinghai as a template to tell the story of this black and white kitten. After all, there are only two of them left in the store, and Snow The lion is eager to try, baring his teeth and claws, strongly expressing that he wants to appear on the scene, otherwise he will see blood on his crotch.
Zhang Zian pretended not to see the snow lion's explicit indication, turned his head to look at the other pet, and said unexpectedly: "This time, it is the cat of an American film director. It is black and yellow, and it is not expensive. Cat breed, but with a love of film acting."
In order to dispel Cai Meiwen's worries, Fei Masi stayed on the upper floor of the stairwell, lying on his stomach quietly.
"Film performances are very hard, and animal movies have no stars to join, and the funds are limited. Animals always need to take part in the battle and challenge some difficult and dangerous actions. The rewards are far less generous than human actors. It works tirelessly. I worked hard on the set, just to see the smiling faces of the children in front of the screen."
"Later, an accident occurred during a filming. It was seriously injured and died. The film director buried it in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. In addition to its name, its epitaph reads: an actor. Epitaph Although there are only four short words, it is the greatest compliment to it."
It was only then that Cai Meiwen noticed that the group photos hanging on the wall were all of Famous, European movie celebrities and Chinese movie actors, and they were even received by the leaders of Binhai City. It is a picture of it standing in the center of the stage to accept the award.
Even if she doesn't care much about entertainment news, she has heard that there is a dog actor in Binhai City, which caused a sensation. Could it be this German shepherd whom she regards as a dangerous person? If so, that would be embarrassing...
In addition to the death scene and referring to the dog as a cat, Ling Xiaocelery and the shop assistants cast respectful gazes at Femas.
Little Celery’s school once organized a movie theater to watch "War Dogs". When they saw the ending, the boys who were usually mischievous and mischievous were excited. There were also several children who aspired to be admitted to military or police academy when they grow up, to defend their home and country. , while the girls cried for the injuries of the police dogs.
Although this story has written itself to death, Femus is not angry at all, nor does it feel bad luck, but feels that it is hard to find a soulmate. If it dies one day, such an epitaph will be enough.
Lao Cha and Vladimir were equally lifeless. They both felt that Zhang Zian's imaginary death scene was full of poetry and beauty, and it could be said that he died well.
Whether it is on the top of the mountain or under the sunflower, the national flower of Russia, it is an excellent place to bury the bones.
Even Fina was not angry, because in the golden pyramid, it felt like it had already died once.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
A cat's million lives live on.
With the experience of the previous cat, everyone knows that the prototype of the protagonist in the story is not limited to the cat in the store.
"This time, it is a Danish net red cat, not so busy. Unlike other cats who hate water, as a Turkish Van cat, it likes water by nature. As long as it is at home, it is willing to soak in the bathtub all day. "
The clerks looked at each other, which cat is this? Is it Xiaoxue's snowball? After all, Xiaoxue is a very popular live broadcast internet celebrity, but it seems that she has never heard that her Xueqiu likes to play with water.
Shihua on the second floor suddenly held his breath.
"It likes to sing, and it has an unparalleled sweet voice. It is said that when it sings, even nearby fish will be attracted to it and listen to it singing obsessively. Although humans can't understand what it is singing, But it is so unique that it has become a hot cat on the Internet, even more famous than its owner. But what it likes most is water. Gradually, it is no longer satisfied with the narrow bathtub. The boundless blue ocean fills its heart. It always It is to sneak to the beach and play with the fish in the sea to your heart's content."
Zhang Zian looked at the rolling door that was crackling by the raindrops, "One day, there was a storm in the sea, which was even more violent than today's typhoon. It was swept into the depths of the sea by the storm and never came up again. After that, every year On that day, its owner will come to the beach and throw condolence letters from netizens from all over the world into the sea, asking the sea to convey their condolences."
Little Celery hugged her mother tightly, as if she was afraid that she would be swept away by a terrible storm.
Cai Meiwen and the shop assistants sighed, and the good swimmer drowned in the water. In any case, the cat finally got what it wanted and fell into the embrace of the sea forever.
Shihua remembered that when he first appeared in this world, he almost froze to death in the winter in the Baltic Sea. If he died at that time, he might never have the chance to become an Internet celebrity again.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian looked at Richard. The usually noisy guy was surprisingly quiet today.
"This time, it is the cat of an American zoologist. It has been living in the laboratory since birth, and cooperated with the zoologist to explore the intelligence of animals through a series of experiments."
The clerks didn't know Richard's past, they thought Richard was just an ordinary gray parrot. After all, the gray parrots basically look the same, but his cleverness is obvious to all, although he always uses his cleverness to in crooked place.
"Being an experimental subject means that it has to cooperate with all kinds of weird testing methods that humans have come up with. It is very smart, after all, it is a cat that has lived a million times, and it often makes zoologists and assistants in experiments. I was pleasantly surprised, and even felt the need to redefine the cat’s intelligence. But in fact, it worked so hard because it liked zoologists, and it wanted to make zoologists happy, so it kept digging its own potential.”
"Then one day, probably because of living in the laboratory for a long time, the body's tolerance to bacteria has decreased, and it fell ill, a serious illness, even if the best veterinarian was invited, it could not be cured. It died, the animal Instead of leaving it in the laboratory, the scientist took it back to his home, buried it in his yard, and it could be with the zoologist forever."
Everyone thinks of the little white mice in the laboratory and the Beagle dogs that became the subjects of human drug trials. It is precisely because of the existence of these animals that human medicine continues to advance and human life spans continue to prolong. They exchanged their lives for The fate of human beings, of course, human beings should pay tribute to these animals who have dedicated their lives to science.
Except for referring to the bird as a cat, this story is almost the same as Richard's own experience. It seems to be back in the laboratory, and together with the doctor to overcome one difficulty after another.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian looked at Fatui again, who was also lying on the stairs, looking at him quietly.
"This time, it was the cat of an ancient European priest. It and the missionary gave up their wealth and lived a very simple life. The danger of disease, walking among the sick and serving them, performing acrobatics for them, making them forget their pain. No matter how poor and difficult, it and the priests are always full of optimism and bring joy to everyone they touch.”
"Then one day, they encountered a landslide. Unfortunately, it was hit by falling rocks and died. The priest buried it in the churchyard, so that it could listen to the choir's music every day and enjoy peace and joy forever."
Farui narrowed his eyes in relief, this is really the best home for it.
Although Cai Meiwen and the store staff are not religious, no matter what the purpose is, what the cat has done is no different from a noble medical worker, and it deserves people's gratitude.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian finally looked at the impatient Snow Lion.
"This time, it is the cat of an ancient Chinese princess, who lives in a pampered royal garden all day long. The palace is as deep as the sea, and the guards are strict. It's time to take a break. Its fur reaches the ground and its color is better than snow. It is extremely loved by princesses and court ladies, and they play with it carefree every day."
Obviously, compared to the cats whose prototypes were confusing to everyone just now, the prototype of this cat is definitely the snow lion, and it is also the face value of the pet store. Even the popular puppet cat is eclipsed in front of it.
Cai Meiwen said that she doesn't keep pets, but when she followed everyone's eyes and saw the snow lion, her long-lost girl's heart was ready to move. If there hadn't been a dispute just now, she really wanted to pay for it and buy it home. Every woman once had a princess dream.
The Snow Lion was delighted to hear that, living in the Sangong Sixth Courtyard full of young girls, with a princess behind him as a backer, this is simply the life of a fairy!
"However, the comfortable life suddenly came to an end one day. Before it knew it, the country had been conquered by foreigners, the imperial city fell, and people burned, killed and looted everywhere. The barbarians only know gold, silver and jewels, but they don't know the piano at all. Chess, calligraphy and painting, also didn't know how to appreciate beauty, and burned the palace. It was separated from the princess, and was killed by a vicious-looking barbarian, and the collapsed palace and ashes buried it."
Snow Lion: "Meow meow?"
The cat in this story is very ordinary and ordinary. It has not done any earth-shattering and touching and tearful events, but it is true that it is ordinary. It is because of its ordinaryness that people pay more attention to the background of the times. The tragic historical picture of the country's destruction and family destruction.
"It died, and then it came back to life, this time also in another era, in another country."
Before everyone can recall from the vicissitudes of history, the story of this cat continues to unfold.
Zhang Zian looked towards the stairwell again, staring at the π next to Phimas, which could only be seen from his position.
"This time, it's a writer's cat. The writer is very nerdy and hardly does anything but necessary activities, and this cat is also nerdy, so they are a perfect match."
The cat was beyond the expectations of the shop assistants. They exchanged glances and asked each other if they were secretly writing that Zhang Zian had discovered it.
"It watched the writer typing in front of the computer every day, and began to imitate, tapping on the keyboard with its paws, and finally one day it could type meaningful words and sentences. The writer bought a separate computer for it, and it began to write hard. Writing out a million lives and a million stories it has lived through, and it wants to share those stories with a million people."
π's eyes became brighter, and if it was that cat, it would definitely do the same.
"The author saw the story it typed out and found it very interesting. He added illustrations to it and made a picture book and sent it to the publishing house. The title of the book was "The Cat That Lived a Million Times". Seeing these picture books The children love it very much and are always eagerly looking forward to the publication of the next book."
"However, a million stories are too long and too much. It writes and writes, from young to old, from youth to late, and it still hasn't finished. One day, it was very old and lay in front of the keyboard It fell asleep peacefully and never woke up again. The author buried it together with the published picture books, so that it can recall the million times of life forever."
This story mixed reality and fiction, which made Xiao Celery almost breathless. Even Cai Meiwen and the shop assistants seemed to be unable to distinguish between reality and fiction for a moment.
"Is this the end of this story?" Little Celery asked eagerly. She was deeply attracted by this story, just like those children who are looking forward to the publication of the next picture book, hoping that this story will never end.
Zhang Zian shook his head and gave her a meaningful smile, "No, not yet. When it thought everything was over, it came back to life, also in another era and another country."
He looked at the sea of stars again, "This time, it is the cat of an Austrian physicist."
