Can you help me draw a bottle of water?”
She was a rose that suddenly appeared in the desert, falling from the endless deep black starry sky and floating gently to the ground. She didn't look tired, thirsty, or scared, as if she was looking for something, and happened to pass by, like the little blonde boy she had been.
I call her a little princess - a pretty girl with a turquoise dress, a fair-skinned **, and short rosy hair.
No. "I didn't turn around, I didn't look back, I continued to look at the engine in the front lid of the car, trying to figure out what was wrong with my buggy before it broke down. "I'm busy, and I don't know how to draw, and I hate drawing. ”
It's okay, it only took you 5 minutes, can you help me draw a bottle of water?She reached out and poked me, like a rose thorn on my body, and it hurt a little.
I put down the manual and wrench in my hand, turned to get into the car, and there was just a pen and paper in the glove compartment in addition to the book. It took me less than 5 minutes to draw an empty bottle and hand it to her: "Oh, here's the water you want." ”
But the bottle was empty. ”
It's a full bottle of water. "I got back in front of the dirt bike.
She stared at the painting for a long time before she said, "I want a bottle of water that can shake out the sound." ”
I drew two more arcs on the neck of the glass bottle with my pen: "You can shake it and see." If you shake the water out, remember to call me. ”
How do you talk like those grown-ups? ”
I seem to have heard this sentence before.
She looked at the water bottle on the white paper, and then at the night sky, the cold wind gently brushed her cheeks, and occasionally the yellow sand kissed her skin: "Have you seen my master?".He was a beautiful blonde boy from a star far, far away from here. ”
No. I wanted to laugh a little, but I couldn't, "But I know you." ”
Late at night, cold unique to the desert.
I turned on the car air conditioner, chose to heat it, and took a blanket and laid it out.
It's ugly, it's much prettier, our stars are much prettier, and the baobab isn't that big. Are people on this planet ugly to draw?”
No, people who can usually write stories are not very good at drawing. You've come from home, have you visited any of the other stars?”
I have only been to one star, and I have come to you through the 'door' there, and I have learned a little about you there. Her answer was far from what I had imagined, and it seemed that the story was true, but with some additions and deletions. "We can only choose one planet at a time. The master went out relatively early, he had already been to 3 small planets, and it was a short trip, and we were not separated for a long time, until he decided to go to you. ”
Oh......Why are you here?"I'm actually a little curious about why there are always beautiful kids who fall from B612 to Earth.
Like my hosts, looking for 'love'. The little princess pulled the blanket over a little and said casually.
Then why did you and the little prince come to Earth?”
Because, it looks blue, it's beautiful, and it's big, much, much bigger than our planet. 'Love' must look beautiful. ”
This is really the answer of a completely child.
But there is no 'love' in the desert. I replied.
Not necessarily, the host has been here. ”
You are a flower, you need sunshine and rain, in the desert, you will die. ”
You mean, wither?The little princess turned her head with confusion in her eyes.
The next morning.
The little princess woke me up: "I'm thirsty." ”
Raising a rose in the desert is a real luxury decision, especially if it is a rose that is in excess. I watched the little princess drink a half-liter bottle of mineral water in one go, and thought to myself. No wonder you want water as soon as you meet.
When she reached out for another bottle of mineral water, I stopped her and explained to her that our supplies were limited and that we needed to be restrained until the rescue team or someone else passed by and found us.
Are there many roses on Earth?The little princess asked suddenly.
Well, they all have thorns. ”
Do you look like me?”
I don't think your owner will mistake another rose for you. I think he would have gone back a long time ago, a long, long time ago, maybe sixty or seventy years ago. I thought for a moment, then replied.
I don't know if the little prince really died of snake venom, so I'm not going to say more.
Sixty or seventy years?”
About 20,000 sunrises and sunsets. ”
It wasn't that long. ”
Not on your planet, it's on ours. ”
Then there was a silence, and the air froze somewhat.
Well, it's been a long time. ”
Sunset, sunset, desert sunset.
It's beautiful. The little princess could see it, "Is this 'love'?"”
No, it's sunset, and the sunset here is different from yours. I suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "Is it true that your master once watched the sunset 43 times in a row?"”
The little princess was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "We had a quarrel that day." After 43 sunsets, he said he was going to find 'love', and then he left. ”
Early in the morning of the third day, I woke up to find the little princess basking in the sun outside the car, and I didn't know if it was photosynthesis. When she entered, her clothes and skin were soaked with steaming moisture, as if she had just been fished up from the river.
How much water did you drink again?”
Two vials. She smiled and replied, "I could have drunk more." ”
Do you drink so much every day?”
I'm a plant. The little princess glanced at the back seat of the SUV, there were indeed too many empty bottles, and she also felt a little embarrassed, "Well, don't you think there is a pleasure when you drink water?"”
I am reminded of the merchant in the story, who peddled a pill to the little prince that would make people feel thirsty, claiming to save 53 minutes a week. In a way, it's a pleasure to drink. However, there are no wells in the desert.
Possibly. I replied nonchalantly.
The little princess squatted in the bucket and looked curiously at the transparent plastic film above her head that was pressed down by the stone: "What other fun things do you have in the car?".”
All sorts of things. When I was done, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's get out, let's go back to the car and rest." ”
The little princess climbed out and began to study my dirt bike again: "How did this guy run?".Its four legs are so short and hard. ”
Fast into the car, you can sweat easily outside. "I got into the car, sat in the cab and honked the horn.
Oh, here, wait a minute. She ran from the front to the back of the car and disappeared from sight because she was too small.
Bang. My body suddenly leaned forward to the left. Bang. The tilt of the off-road vehicle changes from lower left to lower right and then to lower forward. Bang. Behind the left, the sound was like a flat tire. Bang. The car was back level, and my mind went blank.
The sound of the door opening, the sound of the door closing.
It's horrible!Your car, which looks all four legs, will blow up with a single poke of thorns!The little princess waved her hands and said excitedly.
Thanks, I don't have to think about how to fix the engine anymore. I let out a sigh of relief, folded down the seat, and lay flat.
I got the car fixed?Can we go?The little princess's red eyes shone with excitement.
The tires are broken, and the engine can't go even if it's repaired. Why would you want to do this?Can't you settle down a little?”
Yes, I'm sorry. The little princess's smile froze, and her excitement plummeted.
Never mind. I waved my hand, I couldn't bear to see her crying, "Don't be sad, aren't you here to find 'love'?"'Love' is certainly not in the tires, nor in the desert. 'Love' is in the hearts of happy people, understand?”
Well. She looked at me and nodded.
On the fifth night, we still didn't wait for help. Our food has been depleted, the last bottle of water remains, and the efficiency of the distillation and transpiration units is a drop in the bucket. The little princess and I both tried to talk as little as possible, snuggled up to each other, and made eye contact with the ownership of the last bottle of water.
The little princess insisted that I drink the last bottle of water.
I didn't do anything but add trouble to you and waste your resources. She excitedly emphasized many times. "I don't care, you should survive. ”
While we were still arguing, the lights in the car suddenly went out.
Electricity and oil are gone. The outside temperature will drop to -10°C. I sneered and said to myself.
Are we going to die...... thenThe little princess wrapped the blanket tightly and began to tremble.
I looked at her yellow dress, messy short hair, pale face and wrinkled lips, and suddenly I couldn't bear it: "Little one, come here, get into my arms, it will be a little warmer." ”
She did so, and I carefully wrapped her in a sweater and coat and rolled up an extra layer of blanket. She moved her body, feeling a lot warmer, but then she felt something was not right: "You seem to be slowly getting colder. ”
No way, that's your delusion. I've been warm. "I was reckless.
Is that because of 'love'?The little princess suddenly asked, "'Love', is it not only beautiful, but also warm?"”
Well, that's true. I was a little sleepy and nodded slightly, "'Love' is companionship, and I have always been with you." ”
Ah, 'love' is companionship, the closer it is, the warmer it is?”
You can understand it this way. ”
I didn't feel so warm when my host was with me before. "We love each other, but it's strange that it's not like that, so we all want to find true 'love'." ”
That's the love between relatives, and if you want to find another kind of love, you have to go to a place with a lot of other roses. I replied casually, "In the end, fruits and seeds are born, and life continues, and love is beautiful and valuable." ”
The little princess looked at me and didn't speak, and I didn't know what she was thinking.
It was late at night. Drink some water. The little princess handed me the bottle of water, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Just one sip." ”
It would be nice if I could drink enough just by drinking water, plants don't eat like animals, and I don't know how to feel fast. Well, now I don't want anything, even grass roots and leaves ......Well, flowers are actually not bad......
OMG!What was I thinking?I shook my head vigorously, trying to dispel that thought.
The little princess looked at me in despair, then suddenly drank the whole bottle of water, took it in her mouth, and pounced on it. She was already leaning close to me, but this time she was even closer, which startled me a lot. I watched her puffed out face get closer and closer, and subconsciously leaned back, but her neck was tightly wrapped around her.
You ......I subconsciously opened my mouth.
She gagged my mouth with two red lips, then poured all the water in, and even pushed with her tongue, rubbing my tongue and pushing it down my throat. I swallowed most of it uncontrollably, and then I thought of treating others the way I did—the scent of roses rushed from my throat to my lungs, and then poured into my brain, paralyzing my nerves.
It took a long time for her to think of parting her lips, looking at me with a flushed face, and subconsciously wiping her lips with her tongue.
Hello cunning. The little princess lowered her head, her burning gaze still staring at me.
each other. "I don't know what to say.
At least I let her drink half of the water.
I soon fell asleep and dreamed that I had turned into a drum, punctured by a thorn, lifted off the skin, and soaked in a stream of water. Then came the sunrise, the warm light shining on my body, and the two mallets pounding, which made me unbearable.
Wake up, wake up!Wake up!I was wrong, I, I'm sorry ......I opened my eyes, I don't know why I was very tired, I felt that my waist was sore and weak, I only felt that the little princess was pressing on my body as heavy as Mount Tai, I straightened up and moved up a little, and there was a loud click in my lumbar spine, and the strong soreness instantly woke me up.
The little princess threw herself in my face with a "wow": "I shouted at you, you shouldn't, knock you and you won't wake ......up."I, I thought you were dead!”
It's stuffy. "I could barely breathe, the air inside the car was damp and hot, filled with an indescribable smell. I looked at the little princess, and she seemed to be oversteaming, probably because she was huddled together, and I was soaking wet. But the blankets and the clothes on my body were fine, and I always felt like I was taking too much carbon dioxide and my mind was not very clear.
What did you say before?What happened last night?”
I, I'm worried about you. She lowered her head, looking pitiful, "If you don't wake up, I thought, I thought you were killed by me." ”
Who can be killed by you?I said angrily, "I'm just overwhelmed by you." ”
I'm not heavy, I'm light. She leaned back in her seat, put one hand on her stomach and stroked it gently, her eyes slightly closed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she muttered something, as if she was in a sweet dream.
Day 8, noon.
It's to the limit. I started to get dizzy, retching, coma.
I let the frightened little princess bleed me with a thorn, forgetting that this was not a cure for the symptoms, but only hastened my death.
The little princess's hand sucked it dry the moment it touched the blood, and she apologized to me vigorously, and put her hand in my mouth, but I wouldn't eat her, but kissed her prick fiercely.
What are you doing!I, I just want you to live......The little princess beat my chest weakly and cried.
I want you to live, stupid. I hugged her with the last of my strength, "You are a plant, I am an animal, you can make the other live longer than anyone, as long as you die, you can win." We are in a relationship of nourishment for each other, as well as ......”
She gagged me roughly.
She didn't want to hear it anymore.
Roses. I must have passed out on the spot. When I woke up, the *** of the search party had already landed next to the off-road vehicle. The little princess disappeared, as abruptly as she had appeared.
When I was found, I had an empty water bottle next to me, smelling of roses.
I tried to take a sip of the water provided by the rescue team, and the stimulation of my taste buds made me vomit it all in one gulp. I saw a small black thing fly out from under my tongue, like a part of my body. I reacted instantaneously, reflexively grasping it at unimaginable speed.
I slowly opened the palm of my hand, and the familiar scent of roses wafted in front of me.
That's a seed.
The lake on the dash cam was a little blurry, but it happened to capture the little princess.
The little princess rushed into the picture, opened the front cover, and held it for a while, and then saw a layer of white mist appear on the edge of the front cover that was not closed. After 10 minutes, the white mist disappeared, and the little princess rushed back again, holding a bottle in her hand, and disappeared from the edge of the frame, never to be seen again.
Why was she carrying an empty bottle?One of the team members asked, puzzled.
No, it wasn't an empty bottle, it was a full bottle of water, it just couldn't make a sound. "I corrected the mistake of the team, my voice was shaking," said the front lid of the car, which blocked the solar still, and she ran over there to distill the ......Is there still water in the car's water tank?”
After a while, I heard worse news - not only the water tank, but also the acid storage battery.
She couldn't tell the difference, so she simply distilled both.
There is a note for you. ”
One of the team members handed me a piece of paper with a bottle of water drawn on it, and two arcs at the bottleneck, and there were words on the reverse side of the paper, which was very beautifully written:
That's our seed, please let her bloom all over the field.
