Chapter 1705 Live Happily Ever After, Why Not Die
With the end of the typing cat story, everyone thought that this series of stories would also end. After all, it seems that there is no more suitable ending than this cat, but they did not expect that this series of stories is still not over.
Everyone has already guessed that this story is definitely different from the original version. I am afraid it is just the name and beginning of the original version, but the content of the story is not much different from the original version. Hearing that the story is not over yet, everyone is both gratified and worried. The gratification is because there are more stories to be heard, and the worry is because everyone is worried about Zhang Zian's ability to make up stories. The end of a continuation of the dog's tail.
However, this series of stories is not entirely made up by Zhang Zian. He is not so quick-witted, but he has processed them according to the stories of the elves. While retaining the original flavor of the stories, it can be more suitable for everyone's taste.
Little Celery blinked and asked blankly: "Physics? What is physics? What is a physicist?"
She was only in elementary school, and she had never come into contact with this strange word.
"Physics, to put it simply, is the most basic principle of existence and operation of matter. Physicists are scientists who specialize in studying physics." Zhang Zian explained.
"Are you using this cat for experiments like a zoologist?" Little Celery asked again.
Zhang Zian shook his head, "Yes, and no. To be precise, this cat either exists or does not exist. It lives in a closed black box. Sometimes it exists and sometimes it does not exist." , and even this physicist has never seen it with his own eyes."
"It's amazing..." Little Celery widened her eyes.
Cai Meiwen and the shop assistants guessed who the physicist was, but they were even more curious about how he would make up the story.
"This time, it has a very magical ability. As long as it stays in the black box, it will never really die. Even if it dies, it will immediately be resurrected in the box. Once you leave the black box, this ability will be invalid. Little Celery, if it were your cat, what would you want it to do, should it leave the box, or stay in the box forever?" Zhang Zian threw this question to her.
Everyone is addicted to listening to stories, and has forgotten his original intention of telling stories, but he has not forgotten that his purpose of telling this series of stories is to guide Xiao Celery to initially establish a correct outlook on life and death.
Little Celery followed his line of sight and looked at Xinghai. She remembered very clearly that this black and white kitten was the earliest special member of the pet shop. When it first came, it was very afraid of people. Even if she waved to it, it would be scared away. Hide behind the small leaf red sandalwood flower pot. Before I knew it, it seemed to be less afraid of people.
Although it will hide away when there are many customers, but when only acquaintances are present like now, it will bravely walk a few steps away and look at them, so obedient that it makes people feel distressed.
If it was my cat...
Little Celery thought about it for a while. When she saw the dead stray cat and heard about her mother’s dead dog, she became resistant to death. If it was her own cat, she hoped it would stay in the black box forever. so you won't die.
She spoke the answer.
"It's true that staying in the black box will never die, but what's the point of this long life? Is it just to live? Can't see the bright sun, smell the fragrance of grass and flowers, and hear the joy of friends Laughing, unable to taste delicious food, unable to feel the warm embrace of relatives... Life is not just about living, but more importantly, doing something meaningful." Zhang Zian said.
Little Celery was thinking hard.
"The cat died countless times in the black box and lived countless times. It finally figured out the truth, so it tried hard to escape from the black box."
Zhang Zian stared at Xinghai. He heard Femas tell about its weird experience, that is, when it first appeared in the wax museum, it was inexplicably involved in another world of mental images that seemed real and unreal, and it was in the black box with that The seemingly real and illusory sea of stars spent a long time together.
The process of this experience may not be completely real, but judging from the experience of Femas entering and exiting the mental image world many times, the result is real and will not change. Xinghai escaped from the black box at a certain period, and only then did he appear in the world.
What is the reason for Xinghai to escape from the black box?
For freedom?
No, if a person stays in an isolated room from birth, without access to any books and media, he will not understand what freedom is, let alone pursue it.
But at least he will feel lonely.
"Because of loneliness, it escaped from the black box. Even though it only had one life outside, it still left without looking back, because there are sunshine, flowers, laughter, food, friends and people who love it outside. People... these are more meaningful than immortality, and if you have all these and live a happy life, you will not feel regretful even in the face of death."
Zhang Zian turned his head and looked at Cai Meiwen, "Like the dog your mother raised, at least it was happy when it was alive, it had a master who loved it, and spent a happy time with the master, even though it died , but it can also be said that it is not dead, because it has always lived in your mother's memory and is still guarding her."
Vladimir cheered up and recited: "Some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive!"
"It's not just miscellaneous hair, and it's not just the cat that pursues happiness, but also the cat that is superior, the cat that eliminates violence and peace, the cat that is selfless, the cat that excels at acting, the cat that kills fish and loses wild goose, that cat The clever and incomparable cat, the devout cat, the pampered cat, the hard-working cat, and the dreamy cat that is not mentioned in the story, the cat that thinks he is a dog, and There are millions of other cats, and while they all died, their stories lived on, were told, and lived on for every additional person who knew their story."
Zhang Zian squatted down and stroked the back of the lop-eared rabbit, "This rabbit will die one day, but if it can create beautiful memories with the people who love it, I think it will feel that its life is full of sunshine .”
He glanced at the faces of the elves, and said decisively: "If you are happy in life, why not regret in death?"
Cai Meiwen's throat was choked up. Indeed, as Zhang Zian said, the image of Miscellaneous Hair has always remained in her memory. Even if the appearance of her high school classmates has been forgotten, its image is still fresh.
"Mother!"
Xiao Qincai took Cai Meiwen's hand, looked up at her, and begged, "Actually, I have long wanted to say... the next time we have a long vacation, let's go back to our hometown together? Grandpa and grandpa are getting old, they always come Binhai visited me, and I also want to visit them...I also want to see the place where my mother lived when I was a child, and the school my mother went to...I also want to see the photos of Miscellaneous Hair..."
"Okay! Mom promises you, let's go back to our hometown together during the Golden Week of November!"
Cai Meiwen squatted down and hugged Xiao Celery tightly, her eyes dim with tears.
She was no longer the little girl who would be frightened helpless by strange and suspicious men, and she was no longer afraid of him.
In the vision blurred by tears, she seemed to see that when she took Xiao Celery to the downstairs of her hometown, Zamao happily ran out of the corridor to meet them, ran in front of and behind them, and licked their pants. Rubbing around corners.
It's time to stop running away and face your demons.
The elves were also lost in thought. Except for Vladimir, they had never considered the meaning of life before. After hearing Zhang Zian's words today, they couldn't help feeling enlightened.
Their lives are full of splendor unimaginable by ordinary people, and they are in control of the times they belong to. But in retrospect, what impresses them the most is not their own extraordinaryness, but... the person who once brought them unforgettable memories.
They have regretted many things, but never regretted that period of life, just like a certain white python they have never met, would rather suffer the pain of being cut in half, but also fulfill their destiny, just want to meet someone destined to meet.
As the saying goes: Live happily, die without regret!
Little Celery tried hard to turn her head from her mother's arms, and asked, "Is the story of that cat over?"
Zhang Zian shook his head, "No, it and they are creating a new story, and there will be new cats to continue their story."
"Great..." Little Celery said longingly.
Unknowingly, the sound of raindrops hitting the rolling shutter door stopped, and the outside became quiet.
The clerks opened the blinds and looked out, and exclaimed in surprise: "The store manager! The rain has stopped! The typhoon seems to have passed!"
"Great." Zhang Zian also breathed a sigh of relief.
The past typhoon is just the beginning, and there is still heavy relief and reconstruction work to come, but at least it is a good start.
The lop-eared rabbit hopped and ran to Xiao Celery's feet, with its three-petal mouth wriggling non-stop, as if hungry.
Cai Meiwen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, looked down at the lop-eared rabbit, and said, "Thank you for talking so much, but I still won't agree to keep pets."
The shop assistants and Zhang Zian were all taken aback, they couldn't help but look at each other.
To be reasonable, even a heart of stone should be as sincere as gold and stone. How can she...
Little Celery also lowered her head in disappointment.
"If you like celery, you can come to the store to visit them every day when you go to school, and play with them for a while, but you can't take them home." Cai Meiwen gently stroked her daughter's hair, "Because the golden week and cold During the summer vacation, we went back to our hometown, and no one at home took care of them."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood her good intentions - if Xiao Celery brought the lop-eared rabbit and hamster home, then there would probably be no reason to come to the pet store again, and they left the lop-eared rabbit and hamster in the store However, there are legitimate reasons to visit them every day.
Maybe she finally sees clearly that these people in the store are not bad people, maybe she has figured it out, she alone cannot satisfy all of Little Celery's emotional needs, and Little Celery will be lonely and needs friends.
It's just that she was embarrassed to say it directly, so she expressed her meaning in this way with a cold face.
Probably when she was young, she was also a proud character.
Little Celery didn’t think too much about it. What she was most worried about was that because she had been hiding it for so long, her mother would ban her from coming to the pet store again, but now her mother seemed to agree that she would come to the pet store to play every day, although she still couldn’t mix the lop-eared rabbit with the pet shop. The hamsters are brought home, but it's nice to visit them every day.
As a result, nothing seems to have changed, but a lot seems to have changed.
"Thank you mom!" She burst into tears.
She already knows that hamsters and lop-eared rabbits will die one day, just like stray cats and strays, but she is no longer afraid, but has a sense of urgency, and she needs to care and love them more, before that day comes , she will work hard to create better memories with them.
It was evening now, the sky was getting darker, and soon the question of how to spend the evening would be faced.
With so many people, the pet store would definitely not be able to accommodate them, and there were many inconveniences, and eating was also a big problem.
Cai Meiwen didn't say anything, but she was anxiously thinking about countermeasures in her heart. She wanted to take her daughter home, but she felt that it was impossible. At least tonight, she might not be able to leave the pet shop—the water outside was too deep , if she is the only one who is okay, she can't drag Xiao Celery and wade back, can she?
"The typhoon has passed, do you want to go home too?" Zhang Zian saw her thoughts and waved: "Come with me, and Wang Qian and Li Kun, you all come with me too."
Cai Meiwen thought that he was about to open the shutter door, and thought that the water outside was still so deep, wouldn't it all pour in as soon as the door was opened?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zian led them up to the second floor and into the storage room.
"Wang Gan and Li Kun, you two jump to the roof first, then jump into the water, open the trunk, and take out the assault boat." He commanded.
The clerks suddenly realized that they almost forgot about the Zodiac.
Binhai City has become a swampy country, can there be a more convenient means of transportation than assault boats?
Both Wang Gan and Li Kun were wearing sports shorts, and they were not afraid of dirty water. They jumped from the second floor to the roof of Wuling Shenguang's car, and then plunged into the water, which was already up to their waists.
They used the key to open the trunk, took out the Zodiac, put it on the roof, and climbed on the roof to inflate the Zodiac.
After filling up the gas, Zhang Zian handed them the fully charged battery from the house, and they installed it with ease.
Cai Meiwen was dumbfounded, which pet shop would always stock assault boats? But that's good, with the assault boat, the road will definitely be unimpeded.
The Zodiac can accommodate four people. She and Xiao Celery climbed out of the window, jumped onto the roof, and got into the Zodiac.
Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian and Li Kun to send their mother and daughter home, then came back to take Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei back to the rental house, and finally asked them to drive the assault boat back to their home.
Wang Gan and Li Kun are gearing up for each other. The experience of sailing in the city is not something you can meet every day. This journey must be exciting.
